Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

He had always felt that something seemed to be missing.

Now I finally remembered.

I forgot a very important person.

Yuan Gai Suwen!

In history, this guy killed Gao Jianwu, usurped the throne of Goguryeo, and withstood the Tang Dynasty's attacks several times!

From the beginning to the end, Liu Bai did not take Gao Jianwu seriously.

No matter from which angle you look at it, this guy is a standard fool.

But what Liu Bai didn't expect was that he was so dazed that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty had been stationed in Yingzhou City for almost ten days, and they didn't even know about it!

He is the only monarch who is fooled by the civil and military fools of the Manchu Dynasty.

The news about Gao Tan was sent by Wang Shouren.

Seeing that Liu Bai had finished reading, Wang Shouren said in a deep voice, "Young Master, this Yuan Gai Su Wen should not be underestimated!"

Liu Bai nodded.

"Is there a way to get this person's information?"

He also knew little about Yuan Gai Su Wen in history.

All I know is that he is a man of mixed merit and demerit.

Some people think that he is the hero of Goguryeo, because under his rule, Goguryeo's national power more than doubled!

Some people also believe that he is the sinner of Goguryeo and the culprit who directly led to the destruction of Goguryeo!

For the rest, I didn't know much about it.

Wang Shouren thought about it.

"The Jinyi Guards who infiltrated into Goguryeo have been investigated many times, but this person is very vigilant, and no one can be placed beside him!"

Liu Bai frowned and burned the secret letter.

"Let's start the first step of the plan. We don't have much time. We must return before the end of the month! Besides, write back to Gao Tan and say"

Wang Shouren stood up and said, "Your subordinate will make arrangements now!"

Busy days always pass quickly.

In recent days, Liu Bai rarely had time to rest.

Including Li Chengqian and the others, they often followed Liu Bai from left to right.

No one knew what they were doing, but, for some reason, the prices in Yingzhou City had quietly increased a lot.

In a primitive market, the reason for the short-term rise in prices can only be attributed to the serious shortage of goods.

The common people complained, and some well-connected merchants went directly to the Dudu Mansion to inquire.

Of course, it is impossible for them to know the reason.

Half a month after Liu Bai arrived in Yingzhou City, after Zhao Gongquan, the governor of Yingzhou, decided to donate several large granaries in the city for free, the resentment of the people was greatly reduced.

At the same time, the price of goods in Goguryeo has been decreasing day by day!

Neither Gao Jianwu nor Yuan Gai Suwen had Liu Bai's thousands of years of experience and vision.

A drop in prices is of course a good thing!

In the past, the common people could exchange a bucket of rice with a hundred big coins, but now, a mere thirty big coins can be exchanged for a bucket of rice.

This not only means that the lives of the people are more prosperous, but also an opportunity for the Goguryeo court to continue conscription!

In this regard, Yuan Gai Suwen is much more active than Gao Jianwu.

Therefore, the manpower he secretly recruited was several times that of the Goguryeo court!

Gao Jianwu was very interested in the sandalwood shelf that Gao Tan got.

Goguryeo is located in a place of bitter cold, not to mention sandalwood, even ordinary wood, the price is more than ten times higher than that of Datang.

He put all his favorite things on the sandalwood shelf, and the three-legged crow should naturally be placed in the most conspicuous place.

"I heard that prices in the capital have dropped several times?"

Using a small brush, he oiled the sandalwood frame himself.

It seems that doing this kind of thing is far more interesting than being King Rongliu.

Gao Tan understood the uncle's thoughts very well, and said: "Nowadays, the people live in prosperity, all thanks to the grace of the king!"

Gao Jianwu laughed a few times, "You always pick beautiful things to say."

He was a little bit reluctant, and handed the brush to the concubine beside him, telling her to be careful.

After washing his hands, he said, "In the past few days, Mr. Gu heard from people in the palace that the Tang Dynasty is going to use troops against me, Goguryeo?"

"It's just absurd words. The famine in the Tang Dynasty is over, so how can it have the spare power to send troops? Besides, the king is diligent and loves the people, so what if the Tang Dynasty sends troops?"

Gao Jianwu laughed again.

"That's right! Tang Guo must understand what happened to the former Sui Dynasty!"

Gao Tan despised him in his heart, with a humble smile on his face.

At this time, a eunuch came to report.

"Report to Your Majesty, Yuan Gai Suwen begs to see you!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Jianwu ran back to the sandalwood shelf and snatched the brush from Chong Ji's hand.

"Let him come in and see Gu's treasure!"

He seemed to have forgotten that he was still in the bedroom.

The concubine next to me doesn't wear much

Gao Tan is a junior, so it is reasonable, but Yuan Gai Suwen is a foreign minister.

Yuan Gai Suwen walked into the bedroom without any scruples, nodded to Gao Tan, and knelt on the ground without any burden in his heart.

"See Your Majesty!"

Gao Jianwu said with some displeasure: "There are no outsiders, so why be so formal?"

He waved his hand, signaling Yuan Gai Su Wen to get up.

"Look, how about my treasure?"

Yuan Gai Suwen was smiling.

"Your Majesty's treasures are all rare treasures in the world. From my subordinate's point of view, even the Tang Emperor's treasures are not as good as in case!"

Gao Jianwu was even happier.

"Gu's favorite is this three-legged black glass vessel. It's rare that Ulji Wende has a heart. Such a treasure is probably rare in the world!"

Yuan Gai Su Wen took out a box from nowhere as if he was juggling.

"When I was having fun in the capital, I also found a treasure, so I bought it with a lot of money and dedicated it to the king!"

He opened the box, and what appeared in front of everyone was another glazed vessel!

This glazed vessel has a strange shape, it is in the shape of a human being, and there is no male or female, but it is holding a lotus flower in its hand.

Gao Jianwu was shocked when he saw it.

The Goguryeo people believed in not only the three-legged crow, but also their mother goddess!

In comparison, the three-legged crow ornament was not only twice as small, but also slightly inferior in workmanship.

"The folks actually have such a treasure?!"

He couldn't wait to snatch the box over.

"Your servant is willing to use this precious treasure to wish my king ten thousand years!"

Gao Jianwu was no longer in the mood to listen to what he had to say. At this moment, he only had the glassware of the mother goddess in his eyes. After a long time, he said leisurely: "Su Wen, you are the lonely confidant."

Yuan Gai Suwen twitched his lips, and said, "I wish to be king!"

"In the future, there will be great rewards for Gu Hao, so go on and let Gu Haosheng appreciate this great treasure!"

"Your servant will leave!"

Yuan Gai Su Wen 'respectfully' had to retreat.

Gao Tan rolled his eyeballs and said, "This subject is also leaving!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left the bedroom, followed Yuan Gai Suwen in a few steps

Chapter 401 A person as cautious as him is never willing to leave anything to others

"Brother Su Wen!"

Yuan Gai Suwen turned his head and smiled, "Brother Gao Tan!"

Both of them were of noble origin, and both belonged to the great nobles, and they had known each other since childhood.

Moreover, they are similar in age, so they are not considered good friends, and their relationship is not inferior.

"Little brother went to the mountains to hunt some wild game a few days ago. I wonder if Brother Su Wen will appreciate it, so let me tell you about it?"

Yuan Gai Su Wen gave Gao Tan a meaningful look, and said, "That's fine!"

At that moment, the two rode on fast horses and went up to Gao Tan's mansion.

Gao Tan is the nephew of Rongliu Wang Gao Jianwu. Although he seems to be just the head of the guards on the surface, his status in the Goguryeo officialdom cannot be underestimated.

Because he is Gao's eldest son and grandson!

You know, Gao Jianwu has no heirs yet.

If after he dies, there is still no blood left, then Gao Tan will naturally ascend to the throne and become the new King of Goguryeo!

Others are in awe of him because of this, and deliberately make friends with him.

But Yuan Gai Suwen knew some inside information.

For example, Gao Tan is not only the head of the guards, but also controls a mysterious army in his hands.

This army is completely loyal to the Gao family, not the imperial court!

The transfer of other troops requires the approval of the Sixth Ministry.

But this army only listens to Gao's orders!

Gao Tan's mansion!

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, it's finally time to talk about business.

Gao Tan sighed, and said: "The weather is not at the right time! Thinking of me, Gao Tan, who was also called an outstanding person of the previous generation, but became the head of the king's bodyguards, I don't know when and what month I was able to make such achievements."

As he spoke, he secretly looked at Yuan Gai Suwen's face.

Liu Baixin clearly stated that Yuan Gai Suwen had long been disobedient, but he was still in the preparation stage, and he would not be able to take action for a while.

Although Gao Tan didn't know what Liu Bai's purpose was, he still did it with all his heart.

Get Yuan Gai Su Wen early and force him to rebel!

Yuan Gai Suwen played with the copper chopsticks pillow on the table, as if he didn't hear Gao Tan's words.

Gao Tan knew that he was always cautious, so he pretended to be drunk and kicked the low table in front of him over, smashing the cups and bowls on the floor.

"I think my father is the eldest son of King Yang. He was conferred the title of King Pingyuan and took charge of Goguryeo. If my father hadn't died early, the position of King Rongliu today should be my Gao Tan! Otherwise, why let Gao Tan Jianwu ascended the throne?"

After finishing speaking, he suddenly pulled out the long sword at his waist, and split the low table into two ends with one sword, as if to vent his dissatisfaction with Gao Jianwu.

Yuan Gai Suwen's eyes flashed brightly, and he said: "Brother Gao Tan, why did you say that? Your Majesty is your uncle, and they are all nobles of the Gao clan!"

Those who don't know may think that he is loyal to Gao Jianwu.

Gao Tan glared at him.

Tatata!

He ran over a few steps, the sword in his hand pointed directly at Yuan Gai Suwen's throat.
