Chapter 691: Yuan Father and Son
More than 200 years ago, Pyongyang was already the capital of Goguryeo.
This city, built in imitation of Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty, is a rare prosperous place in Goguryeo.
Gao Jianwu's royal palace was located in Pyongyang City, and similarly, Yuangai Suwen, who was the great counterpart of Lu, also lived in Pyongyang City most of the time.
"Aya, this time we will unite with Baekje to teach the Silla people a lesson, if they are interested, it is better to surrender themselves, otherwise there will be absolutely no good fruit to eat."
As the eldest son of Yuan Gai Suwen, Yuan Nan is also famous in Goguryeo.
Although the double knives he is good at are inferior to the five knives of Yuangai Suwen, his martial arts are among the best among the young generation of Goguryeo.
"Aya, I heard that the Silla Holy Bone Kim Seung-man just returned from an envoy to Datang last year, and Silla must have reached some agreement with Datang; If we unite with Baekje to invade Silla, it is likely that the Tang Dynasty will directly intervene; It's not that children increase the prestige of others and extinguish their own spirit, the current Datang is far from being comparable to the Great Sui of the year, and it is better not to provoke them if they can be provoked. β
Yuan Nanjian has always been at odds with his eldest brother Yuan boy, and his political views are different from Yuan boys, so it is normal for the father and son to have disputes when they discuss matters today.
"Second brother, this is a bad word! I don't deny that the Tang Dynasty is very powerful, but Chang'an City is still thousands of miles away from our Pyongyang, even if the Tang Army is strong, what can we do? Besides, the Great Wall in Liaodong, which stretches for thousands of miles, is not good-looking, if they really dare to send troops, then let them see the power of our Goguryeo men. β
Yuan Nanjian immediately refuted Yuan Nanjian's point of view.
Although Goguryeo does not have the theory of primogeniture, the influence of the Central Plains Dynasty is still great for them.
As the eldest son of Yuan Gai Suwen, Yuan Nan has far more power in his hands than Yuan Nanjian.
"Big brother, I think what the second brother said makes sense. Not to mention other places, on the river outside Pyongyang alone, you can often see Tang merchant ships, and I heard that there are many Tang ships on the other side of Seoul. Although Chang'an City is far away from us, the sailors of Datang are very close to us. β
The old Sanyuan boy wears the same pants as the Yuan man, otherwise he won't be able to fight the Yuan boy at all.
Don't think that only the imperial family of the Central Plains Dynasty has struggles, in other countries, struggles exist, and even more barbaric.
"What Da Lang said makes sense, and what Erlang San Lang said is not bad; But now that the army is already being allocated, if everything is good, it will naturally not work. That Silla has always been at odds with us, so this time we will occupy a few of his cities first, and then we will talk. In this way, even if Datang has an opinion, it may not necessarily send troops. β
Although Yuangai Suwen controlled the military power of Goguryeo, it was not necessarily a heroic figure like Cao Cao.
In fact, he was more exposed to the light of his father Yuan Taizuo in order to secure the position of the big pair of Lu.
Otherwise, he who is only good at fighting and is not outstanding in strategy would not have the status he has today, at most he is just a fierce general in the army.
So he didn't have any good ways to deal with the disputes between his sons, and many times he was there with the mud.
Of course, when it came to the critical moment, he didn't hesitate at all.
"Big Lu, my subordinates have an urgent report!"
Just as Yuan Nan was about to stand up again to express his opinion, a close confidant of Yuan Gai Suwen barged in from outside with a panicked face.
Although Yuangai Suwen has no culture of his own, he is very particular about etiquette.
In the past, no one in the house dared to break in on such an occasion.
But, because of this, he also felt that something big was happening.
"What's the matter?"
The people here are either their own sons or cronies, but Yuangai Suwen has no intention of avoiding it.
"There is news from the secret line in the palace that the king, the crown prince and many ministers are plotting against the nobles of the country, among which the big pair Lu is the first to bear the brunt; I heard that the king thought that the military strength of the country was in the hands of a few families headed by the great pair of Lu, and that it might threaten his throne at any time, so he prepared to set up a 'Hongmen banquet' to entertain all the nobles, and then execute all the nobles on the spot with the palace guards, and then arrange for someone to take over the team in the army......"
This news is so important that the reporting staff did not dare to omit it at all, and told all the content they received.
"You're saying it's me who the king wants to deal with first now? And then you are going to take advantage of the king's birthday next month to feast me in the palace? And then take the opportunity to execute us? β
Yuangai Suwen looked at his subordinates in disbelief.
To tell the truth, although he holds the military power of Goguryeo, so far, he really has no intention of occupying the magpie's nest.
Now he is thinking about opening up the territory for the country, but the king is plotting against him behind his back.
Is it tolerable, or is it intolerable?
"Aya, in Pyongyang City, the king's cronies and civil officials, as well as some military attachΓ©s, often visit the crown prince during this time, but the child thinks that the news that the king is ready to deal with our Yuan family is likely to be true. Don't look at the great business of our Yuan family, but as long as we take down our father and son, even if the others want to resist, they will have to throw a rat trap. β
Yuan boy immediately believed the news.
In his opinion, this is not necessarily a bad thing.
His own Ayeyuan Gai Suwen has never had the intention of dealing with the king, and now in this situation, there is no need to worry about it at all.
"I heard that Gao Huanquan stayed in Chang'an City for a while, and the Tang people didn't learn the bravery, but they learned a lot of intrigues."
Yuan Nanjian didn't fight against his eldest brother at this time.
The top priority must be to protect the foundation of the Yuan family, otherwise there is no point.
"Aye, if you don't do it, let's just start first."
A cruel smile appeared on the face of the Yuan man.
"In the city of Pyongyang, except for the little guard in the palace that is not under our control, the rest of the soldiers and horses are basically in our hands; If you really want to deal with Gao Jianwu, it's not difficult, but if the name is not right, what will you do in the future? β
Yuangai Suwen obviously didn't have any respect for Gao Jianwu, and now he didn't even want to call him "king".
"It's very simple, as long as you get rid of Gao Jianwu and Gao Huanquan, and then choose another puppet from the royal family to sit on the throne, Aya will continue to be your big pair Lu, won't all the problems be solved?"
Yuan Nanjian's suggestion was quickly recognized by everyone.
Anyway, everyone is not a good stubble, if Gao Jianwu is not prepared to deal with them, maybe the Yuan family is willing to be a loyal minister for a few more years.
Now in this situation, it is embarrassing.
