I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

Next, Wang Xuance and Yuan Gaesumun were like old friends, chatting about everything, the past and the present. Yuan Gaesumun even called a dancing girl, which Wang Xuance also enjoyed with pleasure.

It lasted for more than two hours, and finally Chen Dade supported Wang Xuance and left Moli Zhifu.

Yeon Gaesooun staggered to the gate, and both parties reluctantly waved goodbye.

After Yeon Gaesumun returned to the banquet hall, he poured another glass of wine by himself, but his eyes were no longer cloudy and he was no longer drunk.

"What do you think of what Wang Xuance said?" Yuan Gaisuwen took a sip, as if talking to himself.

At this time, a person walked out from behind the screen behind him. This person was the first counselor in his house.

"My lord, I think what Wang Xuance said is half truth and half lie."

"Half truth and half lie? Then which one of his words do you think is true and which one is false?"

"Back to my lord, I think what he said about Prince Ji's self-protection may be true. According to the news from the Tang Dynasty, Prince Ji is indeed very rich. The business of Prince Ji's Mansion is a unique business that no one can imitate.

At the beginning, we also planned to purchase his craftsmanship and return to Goguryeo to produce it, but we were rejected by one of his supervisors without even meeting King Ji.

No emperor would tolerate such a wealthy prince continuing to develop. Your Majesty, if there is a prince who is so rich that he can rival the country, how will your Majesty treat him? "

Yeon Gae Suwen nodded after hearing this. It was very possible. After all, King Ji was not his legitimate son and was not even qualified to compete for the throne.

No matter who becomes the emperor in the future, how can he allow a prince who is so rich that the country can't be rivaled to exist?

And he felt that King Ji's choice to protect himself was just an excuse to rebel, because he also used Qingjun's policy at the beginning.

In order for King Ji not to be eliminated in the future, rebellion is the only way out.

"You think we should add fuel to the flames? If chaos breaks out in the Tang Dynasty, it will be a good thing for us," Yuengai Suwen thought of this and felt that he could not do nothing.

"My lord, judging from the amount of grain they purchased, this King Ji has at least 15 horses and horses, and with King Ji's financial resources, it is more than enough to feed 15 horses.

There will be a good harvest soon. I think it would be better to let the nobles sell them half of the food in hand. This way, as long as King Ji has enough food and grass, his ambitions will expand. "The counselor analyzed.

"Well, what you said makes sense. If the ambition of King Ji grows and he starts a rebellion, the 10,000+ army will definitely make the Tang Dynasty unable to take care of itself. By then, it will have no time to care about Silla.

I will arrange this tomorrow. Have Xue Yantuo's troops arrived in Silla? I had already talked with their general that day. Although they were not good at attacking cities, this time we paid so many women, weapons, and food. If they don't show sincerity, we won't give them that much. "

Xue Yantuo came this time just for profit. Yeon Gaesumun gave Xue Yantuo enough benefits to send troops.

50 stones of grain, [-] sets of weapons and armor, and [-] young Goguryeo women. Food and weapons were nothing. Twenty thousand Goguryeo women were the main reason why Xue Yantuo sent troops.

The continuation of a tribe requires population, and population requires women. Xue Yantuo has always wanted to get rid of the control of the Tang Dynasty, and wanted to become stronger and bigger, and step into the Central Plains.

Therefore, the temptation of these [-] Goguryeo women was too great for Xue Yantuo.

"Back to my lord, Xue Yantuo has joined my army yesterday, preparing to break through his border city in three days, and then drive straight in, plundering everywhere in Silla, causing panic."

"Very good, we need to fight quickly to prevent Datang from intervening. If I..."

"Report ~~~~"

Just when Yeon Gaesumun was about to say something, an emergency message came from outside, and then a messenger ran in.

"Report, Mo Lizhi, the Treasure King has rebelled,"

"What?" Yeon Gaesumun stood up immediately after hearing this.

"Tell me in detail."

"Back to Molizhi, the Treasure King was patrolling in the west. Several generals in the court secretly led troops and falsely conveyed Molizhi's orders. They also went to the west under the pretext of bringing back the Treasure King. They met with the Treasure King four days ago.

Using his identity as a cover, he captured Hengshan City, killed the prefect, and subdued Hengshan's generals. In three days, he captured the three cities of Xuantu, Xincheng, and Guicheng. It's up to Mo Lizhi to decide if the villain escapes from death and comes back to report. "The messenger finished in one breath.

I saw that Yeon Gaesumun's face was extremely ugly.

"How do they pass the level?"

"Go back to Molizhi, they all have your seal, Molizhi."

"My seal?? How many troops do they have?"

"It was about [-] at first, but now there should be [-] troops to conquer the four cities,"

"You dare to start an uprising with [-] troops. How brave you are." Yeon Gaesumun heard that the other party only had [-] troops and dismissed it.

"My lord, don't take it lightly. Although the Treasure King currently has [-] troops, there are many men in these four cities. If he recruits men by force, he may have an army of [-] by then." The counselor advised.

"Hmph, even if it's one hundred thousand, it's just a bunch of rabble. Go and inform the ministers to go to the palace to discuss matters."

Anhak Palace is a magnificent palace built in 427 AD when Goguryeo's "King Changshou" moved the capital from "Inner City" (now Ji'an City, Jilin Province) to Pyongyang.

Yeon Gaesumun has been coveting this place for a long time, especially the seat above the meeting hall.

Today the Treasure King is in trouble, so he can really sit on it. As long as the Treasure King is eliminated, he will naturally become the new king of Goguryeo.

"Everyone, I just received news that for some unknown reason, the Treasure King led his troops to capture the four western cities, burning, killing, and looting. The cities were like a purgatory on earth.

I can't watch the Treasure King harming our Goguryeo people like this. Big brother, do you have any good ideas? "

After everyone arrived, Yuan Gaisuwen told the story and then asked.

"Back at Da Molizhi, I feel that we should send troops quickly to stop the treasure king's evil deeds, otherwise the disaster will spread to other small towns and the consequences will be disastrous." This big brother is a member of Yeon Gaesumun's party and has always supported Yeon Gaesumun.

"What the eldest brother said is true, and I also think that we should send troops as soon as possible," the envoy from the doctor on the side also agreed.

Yeon Gaesumun didn’t want to discuss this matter too much, so he immediately ordered:

"Pass an order, my eldest brother, Yan Liu, will lead [-] elite troops to capture the Treasure King. Nou, the prefect of the nearby cities need assistance."

"Yes"

The order was quickly issued, and the atmosphere of war could clearly be felt in Pyongyang.

These [-] elite soldiers are all guarding the royal city, and food and grass are also transported out of the city.

Carloads of grain were pulled out of the city and transported to the west, while the eldest brother Yan Liu also gathered troops and horses at an extremely fast speed and packed his luggage.

On the second floor of a restaurant in Pyongyang, Wang Xuance and Chen Dade sat by the window, looking at the carriage transporting grain below.

"Mr. Chen, the show has begun."

(Judging from the overall development of the Goguryeo official position hierarchy during the Tang Dynasty, the central official position hierarchy at the end of Goguryeo has basically matured.

It is composed of 17 levels of official positions: Tupu, Gu Chujia (or Dajia), big brother, Yu Zhe, doctor's messenger, Zaoyitou big brother, ambassador, position big brother, eldest brother, promotion messenger, superior messenger, small messenger , little brother, brothers, celebrate the festival, but not the festival, ancestors.

In the article, the prefect is the lord of a small city, and Nisa is the lord of a big city.
