Chapter 322: Quangai Suwen
"According to the feedback from the guards, Li Dongsheng sleeps every day and does not talk to outsiders, and his mood is very stable." Wang Dengfeng said cautiously: "That Xue Rengui is the same as him, and the two of them are very silent. ”
"No complaints? Or a look of regret? "Li Shimin doesn't believe it, he has suffered such a big grievance and has no emotion, this is not right, he is not so old?
Li Shimin really couldn't understand him anymore, and he arrested Li Dongsheng on the one hand because he was really frightened by what the eldest grandson Wuji said, Li Dongsheng waved 10,000 people and followed him like this, although he was going to resist reinforcements, but what if he came by himself? Or do others have the ability to do this? There are more people in the army who are older and have higher positions than Li Dongsheng. Who can guarantee that they don't have this mind?
On the other hand, I also want to teach him a lesson, although your starting point is good, but things must go through the process, this is the key to the smooth circulation of such a large empire, that is, everything must be in order, if everyone does this, then the court will quarrel every day.
If Li Dongsheng knew what he was thinking, he would definitely give him a big mouth, it was really a human mouth with two skins, it was okay to say it right and the other way, at the beginning, you praised people for being decisive and decisive in case of trouble.
"Keep looking at them for me, paying attention to who they are in contact with and what they say." People were arrested, but how to deal with it is really a big trouble, people did the wrong thing in order to save the life of the emperor and save the lives of the 300,000 soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and they sent people to report that night, the most important thing is that he is Li Jing's nephew, the Chinese Wu knows that Li Jing's two sons have no ability, the family's hopes are on Li Dongsheng, if he is really killed, I am really sorry for Li Jing. Besides, Li Dongsheng himself is also a capable person, and Li Shimin still hopes to leave Li Zhi as a Zaifu.
At the moment in Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo. A court meeting was being held in the palace of Pyongyang, and Goguryeo King Gozang was sitting in the middle of the main hall, looking at the courtiers below arguing with a serious face, but his mind had long been unaware of where to fly.
Pyongyang has a long history, is the birthplace of the Korean nation, and has an important place in the history of the DPRK. Legend has it that in 2333 B.C., the Emperor Huan Xiong, the son of the Emperor, and the bear girl's son Tanjun (also known as Wang Jian) established the Korean state, and its capital Asda is located in what is now Pyongyang, so Pyongyang is also known as "Wang Jian City". After the fall of the Shang Dynasty in China, the Yin Shang nobleman Jizi came to Korea and took Pyongyang as the capital, which was the "Jizi Korea". In the past, the Korean people revered him very much and regarded him as the ancestor of the Korean nation. As a result, Pyongyang's status has become sacred, and it is called "Miseong".
In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty in China, Wei Man, a native of Yan, fled to North Korea and replaced Jizi Joseon, known as "Wei Man Joseon". In 108 B.C., Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent troops to destroy Weiman Korea, captured Wang Jiancheng (that is, Pyongyang), and set up four counties in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula, which were placed under the jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty, of which the area around Pyongyang was Lelang County, which was the center of the four Han counties. Lelang County is a Joseon county, located in the south of the current Taedong River, and its ruins were unearthed in the 1930s, and the Lelang District of Pyongyang City is named after the ruins of Lelang County. It can be seen that this place has always belonged to the Central Plains Dynasty before.
Although it is the capital, but the city of Pyongyang looks very dilapidated, mainly because the Goguryeo people are not good at management, and the weather is bitter and cold, and there is no output, the dilapidated houses in the city, even the royal palace is so small, there are no middle-aged men on the streets, and the people who come out are basically ordinary people with old and weak women and children, with vegetables on their faces, because the middle-aged men have gone on the expedition, Goguryeo has one enemy and two enemies on the Korean Peninsula, resisting Silla and Baekje, and now it has to resist the attack of the Tang Dynasty, Men over the age of thirteen have already been incorporated into the army, plus they were harassed by the Tang Army volunteers for a year last year, and there is no harvest in the fields, and now there are precursors of famine.
Gao Zang is in his thirties, his facial features are upright, but the corners of his eyes are blue, his face is a little abnormal, and he looks like he is often addicted to wine, which is not to blame him, mainly he is just an ornament, a puppet pushed up by Quangai Suwen.
To his left hand sat a man in his forties, with a dark face, a burly man, who spoke in a loud voice, according to the storyteller, with a hawkish eye and a skeletal head. He killed the previous king of Goguryeo, and later supported Goguryeo's enthronement, Quangai Suwen, a powerful minister of Goguryeo.
Now he is in power, the whole Goguryeo is his final say, after his request to the Tang Dynasty was rejected, Quangai Suwen knew that the Tang Emperor Li Shimin had the meaning of leveling Goguryeo, so Quangai Suwen in Goguryeo was strong in the army, and the army was ready to fight. Now the Goguryeo monarchs and ministers are discussing the Tang army's siege of Anshi City.
Now Quan Gai Suwen's face is full of regret, he already knows about the camp roar that happened in the Tang army a few days ago, and he is very disappointed that Yang Wanchun did not take advantage of the victory to pursue and directly wipe out the Tang army under the city of Anshi, and now the scene has become a stalemate again, the two countries of Datang and Goguryeo are like two wrestlers who have tested each other, and now they are working their heads, just to see who is not strong enough to resist and lose.
When the Tang army broke through Liaodong City and Jian'an City, the ministers of Quangai Suwen, Kuzang and Goguryeo were still panicked, but a sneak attack and a camp roar made them also see the hope of victory: "Da Mo Lizhi, now we are mainly short of grain and grass, last year the Tang army harassed, spring plowing and autumn harvest were all in chaos, if it continues like this, it will really starve to death." ”
Since Quangai Suwen dared to kill the king, he was a person who did anything for the sake of power, and said loudly after hearing this: "Command to go down and take out all the food stored in everyone's house for centralized disposal, especially the wealthy families, first distribute it to the army, and then distribute it in rations, as long as no one starves to death." After a pause, he said, "If it really doesn't work, don't divide those who are older." ”
Such cruel words came out of his mouth as the law, and no one in the Goguryeo court dared to talk to him at all, and after a while of silence, everyone began to discuss other things, nothing more than recruiting young and strong men from all over the country to join the army, and then training, and some internal affairs, and then dispersing the dynasty after dealing with it. Looking at the backs of those who walked out of the main hall, Quan Gai Suwen twisted his long beard and squinted his eyes to think about things.
At this time, a military general entered the hall with a happy face, regardless of the surprised eyes of the people around him, he leaned directly to Quan Gai Suwen's side, and whispered a few words in his ear, Quan Gai Suwen suddenly showed a surprised expression, and even didn't care about the basic etiquette, so he got up and strode out: "Go home!" ”
