Daming Palace, Xuanzheng Palace.

After Li Shimin ended the early dynasty, he left Fang Xuanling and others.

"This is the news I just received yesterday, what are your opinions?"

In the throne, Li Shimin spoke expressionlessly, making people unable to feel his joys, sorrows, and sorrows.

"Your Majesty, that Gao Jianwu, although he has been quite respectful to my Datang in the past few years. But the Gao Dynasty is not a good bird for us in the Central Plains. In my opinion, if they want to mess up, let him mess up, and we'll just watch the excitement on the side. ”

Cheng Yanjin first expressed his opinion.

Just now, Li Shimin had already asked Li Zhong to introduce the situation of Goguryeo received by the Baiqi Division.

Over the years, not only has the Intelligence Investigation Bureau of the Chu Prince's Mansion arranged a lot of manpower in Goguryeo, but the Hundred Cavalry Division has not been left behind.

Coupled with the expanded use of carrier pigeons, here in Chang'an City, everyone still quickly learned what was happening in Pyongyang.

"I'm against it! Your Majesty, Goguryeo is now also a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, and the lord of the country was inexplicably killed by his courtiers, such a thing without a king and no father, if I am indifferent to the Tang Dynasty, how will the other vassal congresses view us? In my opinion, we should immediately send out a time to rebuke Yuan Gai Suwen and ask him to return his rights to the Gao family; and took the initiative to admit guilt and strive for a lighter punishment. ”

Wei Zheng stood up and expressed his opinion.

"Huh! Wei Gong, why don't you go to Goguryeo? Let's see if that Yuangai Suwen listens to you? The Yuan family controls more than eighty percent of Goguryeo's military power, and now that he has come to this point, do you think he will be captured? Do you think the Gao family will let him go? ”

Li Daozong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, glanced at Wei Zheng very unpleasantly.

Sending envoys to Goguryeo at this time didn't make the Ministry of Rites uncomfortable?

Even if the envoys are really sent, the task can't be what Wei Zheng said.

Otherwise, what's the difference between this one and sending it to death?

"That Yuan Gai Suwen can sit in this position today, he shouldn't be a stupid person. Judging from the news just released by Chief Li, Yuangai Suwen only killed Gao Jianwu and a group of ministers in the court, but did not usurp the throne; I estimate that he is likely to introduce a puppet of the Gao dynasty to come out as king. In this case, it is better for us to push the boat down the river, as if this is a struggle for the throne within Goguryeo, arrange for someone to go to the trusted Goguryeo king, and then wait and see what happens. ”

Cen Wenwen also stood up and put forward his own opinions.

As a civil official, he didn't want to destroy the current prosperous situation of the Tang Dynasty because of a Goguryeo.

Although Cen Wenwen firmly believed that with the strength of the Tang Dynasty, there would definitely be no problem in dealing with Goguryeo.

But thinking of the situation when Emperor Yang of Sui conquered Goguryeo three times, he was full of resistance to sending troops to Goguryeo.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Chu has arrived!"

Just when everyone was talking there, Li Kuan, under the leadership of the little eunuch, came to the Xuanzheng Palace.

The Hundred Cavalry Division has already transmitted the information back to Chang'an City, and the Intelligence Investigation Bureau of the Chu Wangfu is naturally not bad.

So Li Kuan quickly guessed the reason why Li Shimin suddenly let him enter the palace today.

"The fishing industry in the East China Sea has a large business in the Wa Kingdom, Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje, and His Royal Highness the King of Chu should know better than many people when it comes to understanding Goguryeo. Your Majesty, why don't we listen to His Royal Highness the King of Chu? ”

This proposal of the eldest grandson Wuji has been approved by many people.

Of course, some people really want to hear Li Kuan's point of view, and some people want to watch the excitement.

In fact, this kind of thing, no matter what Li Kuan says, is a bit troublesome.

If you agree to send troops, then there will definitely be some damage and expenses at that time, and there is still a certain possibility of defeat.

If you don't approve of sending troops, people can also put a bunch of on your head.

Anyway, as long as Goguryeo doesn't disappear from the map, there will always be opponents who will be able to find something that makes Li Kuan disgusting.

So, in this matter, the best thing to do is not to get involved.

Of course, Li Kuan is not afraid of others yin.

No matter how you make a move, with God's perspective, you are afraid that you will not be able to cope with it?

"Li Zhong, you can briefly introduce the situation to Kuan'er."

Li Shimin obviously accepted the suggestion of the eldest grandson Wuji and was ready to listen to Li Kuan's meaning.

In fact, at the end of today's court meeting, he had already arranged for someone to invite Li Kuan into the palace.

"Your Majesty, if it's simply that there is some chaos within Goguryeo, then it's a good thing for my Datang, let's just watch the excitement from the sidelines, it's best that all the factions within them can fight to the death, and then we can clean up the mess." But the current situation is a little different, Nayeongai Suwen's ability to control Goguryeo is beyond the imagination of many people, and after the power of Goguryeo falls into his hands, the possibility of chaos is very small; And Goguryeo is now allied with Baekje and has always wanted to annex Silla; I speculate that that Yongae Suwen, in order to divert the contradictions in the country, may quickly provoke a war with Silla on the frontier, and with Silla's current strength, it is definitely not an opponent of the alliance between Goguryeo and Baekje.

If we allow the situation on the peninsula to continue in this way, then the result is likely to be that Goguryeo annexed Silla, and the strength of the country was not affected by this incident, but rose to a new level. Yuangai Suwen, who has received the credit of opening up the territory, will completely gain a firm foothold within Goguryeo. Then, immediately after, he is likely to provoke a war in Liaodong and continue to occupy the territory of my Datang. ”

Li Kuan has more information about Goguryeo than Li Shimin, and he is naturally the head of the way when he speaks.

The most important thing is that Li Kuan's statements, if nothing else, will indeed happen.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, what do you mean by this, do you support the use of troops against Goguryeo?"

A rare smile appeared on Wei Zheng's face.

To be honest, he didn't expect Li Kuan to support his views.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, is the situation on the peninsula really as complicated as you said?"

Cheng Yanjin frowned and asked.

Although his proposal just now was for Datang to stand aside and watch the excitement, if the war was really necessary, as a military general, he would definitely support it.

Only war can reflect the value of military generals.

"That's right! Looking around, Goguryeo is now left to bring the most harm to the people of the Central Plains, and many people have palpitations when they mention Emperor Yang of Sui's three expeditions to Goguryeo. Now, if you don't take advantage of the unstable foothold of Yuangai Suwen and quickly send troops, it will become more troublesome to fight Goguryeo in the future. ”

Although with the continuous growth of the national power of the Tang Dynasty, the gap between the two countries will become wider and wider, and it will become easier and easier to deal with Goguryeo in theory.

However, Li Kuan has received a lot of news from the Northwest Trade and Puluozhong, and the forces of the Great Cannibals are getting closer and closer to the Tang Dynasty.

In the next ten years, Datang's main opponent should be on Da Shi.
