Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"So you already knew?"

Guo Ye sneered and said, "Not only do I know, but I also know who leaked the news!"

"who is it?"

"Who else? Of course it is Gao Jianwu, the king of Rongliu County who is far away in the sky and right in front of you. I said Gao Jianwu, what's going on with you today, you are addicted to playing poor and poor, and you just want to provoke me and Yuan Yuan with this trick. Fighting against Gai Suwen? You underestimate me, Guo Ye too, don't you?"

Gao Jianwu was a little embarrassed, and asked with a guilty conscience: "Then what else do you know?"

"It doesn't matter what I know, the key is what you want me to know. Tell it yourself, what else did you tell Yuan Gai Suwen? Did you say anything about Yuan Hai Ziba?"

"No. Absolutely not!"

Guo Ye sighed and said: "It seems that you are not stupid enough. You see me excuse Yuan Nanjian, and you are worried that I will join forces with Yuan Gai Suwen, right?"

Gao Jianwu said: "That's right, what the Duke of Pingyang did is really hard for the lonely king to understand."

"Depend on!"

Guo Ye yelled: "Prince Rongliu, you know that the current situation is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, Gao Jianwu, you will die without a place to bury you!"

Gao Jianwu said aggrievedly: "Mr. Pingyang County, why are you so poorly tuned?"

Guo Ye snorted coldly, and said: "This is not my alarmist talk. I said that you are really useless as a county king. Why is the military power of Goguryeo taken away by Yuan Gai Suwen? Your father, King Yingyang, is still alive. Well, Yuan Gai Su Wen can't do anything to you. As long as Ying Yang King Long Yu returns to heaven, he will be in charge of the military power, and if he gives an order, your head will fall to the ground!"

"Then...it can't be...my Gao clan is not easy to bully!"

"The members of the Gao clan are members of the Gao clan, and Gao Jianwu is you, Gao Jianwu. They should not be confused. Yuan Gaisuwen can't do anything to the Gao clan, but you must be killed soon! There is a saying in the Tang Dynasty, which is called the gun barrel. Take power. As long as Yuan Gai Su Wen controls the army, he will be invincible. When Yuan Gai Su Wen wins, it will be the time when your head falls!"

"Government grows out of the barrel of a gun? Is there such a saying? How come this king has never heard of it!"

Guo Ye coughed and said, "That's not the point, the key is to understand the spirit. Where did I just say?"

"You said that I want my head to fall..."

"Well, then I will continue. So, your small fights are useless. Yuan Nanjian's matter is really not small. But it is not big. It is just a robbery Girl? He just robbed a little more this time, and no one was killed. Your father will not do anything to Yuan Gai Suwen."

Gao Jianwu sneered and said, "I'm afraid the Duke of Pingyang is afraid that there will be a big trouble and it will be difficult to get out."

"It's not impossible for you to understand this way. Pressing this matter down is beneficial to all three of us. Duke Rongliu won't want to fight Yuan Gai Suwen right now. With all due respect, your odds of winning are too great." Small."

Gao Jianwu nodded and said: "You're right, this king really doesn't have much advantage. However...Pingyang County Lord knows that we have two factions in Goguryeo when dealing with the Tang Dynasty. One is headed by King Gu, and the other is headed by Mo Lizhi headed by."

"Oh? I'd like to hear about it!"

"The faction of Guwang hopes to make friends with Datang. The two countries will never stop fighting, and Goguryeo will surrender to Datang. After a hundred years, it is not impossible to implement the county system in Goguryeo. Gao Xinde is one of them. Otherwise, you think Are all our senior officials in Goguryeo people who have never seen gold? Moli Zhiyuan Gai Suwen insisted on being tough on the Tang Dynasty. He proposed and vigorously promoted the construction of the Great Wall. As long as he becomes the lord I am afraid that the people of the two countries will have no peace!"

After saying this, Gao Jianwu fell to his knees again, and said, "So, for the sake of the peace between Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo, and for the common people in the world, I also ask the Duke of Pingyang County to help me ascend the throne of Goguryeo King!"

It is good for Guo Ye to believe Gao Jianwu's words one-third of the time. No matter how much his heart is for Datang, it is his heart for Datang now.As long as Gao Jianwu really sits on the position of the lord of Goguryeo, many things will be beyond his control.

However, he really wanted to help Gao Jianwu now.Without him, Gao Jianwu's power is relatively weak. With his help, the battle between the two sides will not be one-sided.In Guo Ye's view, the harder the fight between the two sides, the better.The harder the fight, the more Goguryeo's national power will be weakened.No matter who they came to power in the end, they would all be taken over by His Majesty Li Er.

Immediately, Guo Ye pretended to be very moved, helped Gao Jianwu up, and said: "Jun Rongliu, please get up quickly, whoever we are with is already a grasshopper on a rope. Don't worry, I will definitely stand Your side."

"Then how can I ascend to the position of the lord of the country, and I ask the Duke of Pingyang County to teach me!"

Guo Ye said: "The key lies in King Yingyang. We want King Yingyang to completely dislike Yuan Gai Suwen and take away his military power. If you have the support of your courtiers, isn't it a big deal?"

"Then how to do it?"

Guo Ye said: "It's nothing more than death-planting and framing! Duke Rongliu, I have always wondered, you are the only son of His Majesty King Yingyang, why does King Yingyang like Yuan Gai Suwen instead of you? It doesn't make sense!"

"This... Actually, my father is very good to Xiao Wang, and has always been very fond of him. It's just that the situation in Goguryeo is critical now. My father is worried that Xiao Wang will die because of his lack of ability, and the country will be destroyed. He will be ridiculed by the people of the world."

"Do you believe this yourself?"

Gao Jianwu blushed, and said, "What the father said himself, can it be false?"

Guo Ye said: "You, you, you said you are so old, why are you still so naive? You can't, he, Yuan Gai Suwen, must be able to do it? Besides, even if Yuan Gai Suwen is a generation of heroes, So what? Once you ascend to the throne, for the sake of power, you will be attacked. The best ending is to imprison you for life. If you are a little cruel, your life will be over. Is this the way out that the father considers for his son? ?”

"Then what does Lord Pingyang think is the reason?"

"Hmph, there is only one thing in the world that can make people disregard the life and death of their own children and wholeheartedly please another person. That is..."

"what?"

"Love! Oh no... Adultery!"

Gao Jianwu opened his big mouth enough to stuff a duck egg into it, and said, "A... adultery? Father and that... Yuan Gai Suwen?"

"That's right. Do you think Yuan Gai Suwen looks like a boy or a girl? He's thin-skinned and tender, not like a man."

"If you want to say that, if you think about it carefully, it's really a little bit!"

"Yuan Gai Su Wen's clothes are different from yours, right?"

"Yes, he just likes to decorate his body with little gadgets. He wears gold and silver, which makes him look so awkward. His father has reprimanded him many times for this. And he usually wears five knives on his body. I think it looks good too!"

"So, this is Yuan Gai Suwen's feminine side. In his heart, he actually wants to be a woman. But how decent it is to wear jewelry, he has no choice but to be ingenious and to comfort him. King Yingyang It is because of liking for Yuan Gai Suwen that he was given great power. This liking is not liking in the ordinary sense, they are a pair of adulterers and adulterers, ah, no, they are adulterers and adulterers!"

Gao Jianwu nodded and said: "So that's the case. I said why the father has always liked Yuan Gai Suwen. By the way, Duke Pingyang, how did you know?"

Guo Ye smiled slightly and said: "Know? I know shit! I made it all up. How about it? You can believe it even to the king of Rongliu County, let alone other people. Just put this rumor If it reaches your father's ears, in order to prove his innocence, he also has to confiscate Yuan Gai Suwen's military power!"

"It's that simple?"

"Of course, King Yingyang is about to die. At this time, the most worrying thing is what happens next. If he dies in the name of a generation of Longyang King, I don't think he will be willing to die!"

Gao Jianwu said hesitantly: "That is my biological father after all, so let's spread such rumors...is it really okay?"

"The biological father? Why didn't he think of you as the biological son when it came time to pass on the throne?"

"But……"

"There is nothing but. You have to know that if you give in this time, you will lose your life. Is it your father's reputation that is important, or your own life? I should say something that shouldn't be said, I think your father King Yingyang is old and confused. You are helping your father to correct his mistakes. It is in line with the teachings of the sages! The son said, "If the father contends with the son, he will not fall into injustice." You are doing this to your father. Filial piety!"

"According to what you said, should I release rumors to slander my father's reputation, or be filial to my father?"

Guo Ye nodded and said: "A child can be taught. The process of the matter is not important, but the result is the most important. Now in Goguryeo, the only real justice is for you to stay and win the county king!"

Gao Jianwu sighed and said, "Mr. Pingyang is worthy of being an angel of the Tang Dynasty. Such an act of disobedience to human relations has been described as benevolence and righteousness. Jianwu has no choice but to obey! Only my victory is the real justice. This sentence says Well done!"

"It seems that King Rongliu is not convinced by this plan!"

"Don't dare! Just doing this alone can make the lonely king ascend to the throne? I always feel a little bit inappropriate in my heart."

Guo Ye smiled slightly and said, "No hurry, no hurry. This is the first rumor, I still have..."
