Everything is difficult at the beginning, Gao Yuqi stepped out of Honglu Temple to go to the Wei Palace, full of sadness and helplessness, now after the dust settles, thinking that the Goguryeo royal family can be peaceful, Gai Suwen before the Gao family and the Tang Dynasty Covenant changed, the meat on the felt board of King Rongliu will be unable to eat.

After the elite of the Tang Dynasty entered Pyongyang, as long as the king got a three-year buffer, he could take back the big government step by step with the help of the righteous name and the support of the Tang army until the Quan clan was cut off.

As for the relationship with Datang after the Quan clan is cut off, then we can only take one step at a time, and no matter how bad the result is, it is better than letting the ministers divide the corpses with knives!

At this thought, Gao Yuqi's only trace of shame also disappeared, and under the witness of the Tang Dynasty's full palace, when Li Daozong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, presented the two countries with the jade seal of the Tang Dynasty, he picked up the covenant and swept the four articles word by word.

The first two were compensated together with the end of the millet to compensate for 100 heads of Haidongqing and 2,000 pieces of sable skins, and the end of the millet claimed 30%, and Goguryeo claimed 70%.

Third, Goguryeo opened a 50-mile undefended zone at the border between the two countries, and neither side was allowed to deploy any form of military force in this area, whether Goguryeo or Datang.

Fourth, at the request of Goguryeo, the Tang Dynasty sent 30,000 elite soldiers to Pyongyang.

The Tang army of these 30,000 troops retained full command power, and correspondingly, the Tang army must be responsible for the expenditure of grain, grass and ordnance.

As the garrison of the upper kingdom, the Tang Dynasty guaranteed that the army would have strict military discipline during its stay in Pyongyang, and would not disturb the people and harm the people, and would not launch any military operations unless invited by the Goguryeo lord.

However, once the domestic situation in Goguryeo changed, if any force or courtiers threatened the personal safety of the royal family members, and the situation was urgent, the royal family could not get in touch with the outside world, the Tang army could launch a blow against that force.

The duration of the garrison is limited to five years, and if the Gao clan regains control of Goguryeo after five years, the Tang army will unconditionally withdraw from Pyongyang and return to the Tang Dynasty.

The Goguryeo general will pay for the Tang army's ordnance, grain and grass, and military salaries during the five-year period.

……

The fourth provision is the most detailed and "fair", but the clause does not explicitly target any third party, just as the later generation of Ah Mei you saw in the West Pacific and the younger brother joint exercises, and issued a statement not against any third country.

Gao Yuqi stared at the covenant in a daze, her hands trembled slightly, the so-called weak country has no foreign affairs and can't help herself...... But that's it!

Even if the psychological construction has been completed, Gao Yuqi is also thinking about it at this moment.

Qianqiu did his best to manipulate my hands, and drank water to quench his thirst to save Gao's for a while, but I didn't know whether it was a curse or a blessing for Goguryeo.

Li Tai saw that this matter was coming to his mother-in-law, and said dissatisfiedly: "Senior brother, there will be no such palace after this village."

The whole world inquired, and it is necessary to pay out of pocket to help the vassal states to fight the chaos and Anbang, in addition to our Datang to convince people with morality, but there is a second one?

Your Gao clan has to be glad that you are neighbors of my Tang Dynasty, if it is changed to Turkic or Tibetan, heh, this group of barbarians will not talk about the morality of the sect master, what is the Gao clan and the Quan clan, they would have drawn a knife and stewed you in a pot long ago! ”

Yes, although the Tang Dynasty "reached out" to the Gao family this time to harbor evil intentions, which is essentially no different from the group of robbers in Tubo, Turkic, and Xue Yantuo, at least in the face of the brand-new business of robbing while the fire is hot, the Tang Dynasty is still a lot more jerky than the three families, at least it will be afraid of face and morality.

Let's meet Datang, a rookie robber who is a little reasonable, is finally a blessing in misfortune......

Gao Yuqi's eyes darkened slightly, then smiled bitterly, and then grew a breath, her eyes became firm again, and without hesitation, she took the pen and dipped it in thick ink to sign the name.

Then he took the gold seal of the envoy presented by the entourage and stamped it with the bright red seal of the Goguryeo envoy!

Signing and sealing, it was only a few breaths, but Gao Yuqi seemed to have exhausted all her strength, her face was pale and she could barely hold the gold seal, and her entourage hurriedly took the gold seal to support the lord.

Before his entourage, a pair of big hands took a step ahead of him to hold the crumbling Gao Yuqi.

After Li Tai stabilized Gao Yuqi, he motioned for his entourage to leave, and he shouted: "Yinluo, Mengcheng!"

Father, all the ministers, let us cheer for the friendship between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo!

Long live Your Majesty!

Datang wins! ”

"Long live Your Majesty!

Datang wins! ”

"Long live Your Majesty!

Datang wins! ”

……

Under the leadership of Li Tai, Hanyuan Hall suddenly erupted in earth-shattering cheers, shouting long live the emperor and the sound of victory in the Tang Dynasty, and the voices of praising Li Tai's martial arts were also endless.

After the mood of the monarch and the ministers receded slightly, Li Shimin announced a big banquet for the ministers!

This time, the Tang and Gao Covenant was not conspicuous in the series of brilliant victories in Zhenguan Nian, but its content was groundbreaking and unprecedented, and it pointed out a new direction for the Tang Dynasty to deal with foreign races in the future.

Officials below the fifth rank can be given a royal banquet, which is a beautiful thing that even dreaming of marrying a daughter-in-law dare not think of.

In astonishment, dozens of green-robed and scarlet-robed courtiers thanked each other, pushing the festive atmosphere to a climax again.

Taking advantage of the enthusiasm of the big guys, Li Taijin said: "Father, today's covenant can be fulfilled, the Goguryeo envoy has made a lot of contributions, and the deputy envoy Quan Wensheng has not let in much, how can you not invite this prince during the feast?" ”

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Yes, Quan Wensheng is worthy of being the pillar of the Quan Clan's Optimus, and he is also a great hero for the alliance between the two countries!"

Our Datang has always been a heavy gift, and I have to give him three royal wines today.

Gao Yuqi, this person has worked so hard, according to me, he doesn't have to go back to Goguryeo, let him live in Chang'an for ten or eight years, and let Datang do a good job of the friendship of landlords? ”

This was to sentence Quan Wensheng to ten years of house arrest, one to warn Quan, and the other to block him from transmitting news back to Goguryeo.

There were too many things to prepare for the elite of the Tang army to enter Pyongyang, and because the Quan clan controlled the government, the Goguryeo royal family could not provide the 30,000 troops with armaments, grain and grass, and baggage.

This elite guard sent troops with the purpose of deterring Gai Suwen, and it was necessary to ensure that they could fight after the landing in Goguryeo, and the heavy grain and grass must be prepared for more than half a year!

With the luxury and cumbersomeness of the Tang Army's equipment, the logistics materials required for half a year for 30,000 soldiers and horses are not a small amount, and even with the national strength of the Tang Dynasty, the preparation time will not be less than half a month's effort.

Since the Quans controlled Liaodong, it was not feasible to enter Goguryeo by land, so they could only enter Dengju from Henan Province and Pyongyang by sea.

After everything was ready, it would take two months for the Tang army to enter Pyongyang at the earliest, and during these two months, it was necessary to ensure that the Quans did not get the news of the alliance between the two countries.

Otherwise, once the Tang army enters Pyongyang, the position of the Quan clan will be mortally threatened, and the plan of the two generations of the Quan clan will face the danger of losing all the previous achievements.

As time went by, with the national strength of the Tang Dynasty in collusion with the Gao clan, it is unknown whether the lives of the Quan clan will not be guaranteed.

With Gai Suwen's actions, once he gets accurate information that the Tang army will enter Pyongyang, he will definitely jump over the wall and kill the killer first.

As long as the Gao royal family is wiped out, the alliance between the two countries will be too hard to wipe their butts.

Therefore, whether or not the Quans could be guaranteed to receive definite news before the army landed in Goguryeo became the key to the implementation of this paper covenant.

Gao Yuqi relieved her breath, and listened to Li Shimin's words, and said in her heart: "Your Majesty's love for Quan Wensheng is touching, and the foreign minister thanked the Tang Dynasty on his behalf!" ”

Li Shimin smiled and nodded, and then ordered the chamberlain to go to Honglu Temple to invite Quan Wensheng.

The matter had been decided, and the monarch began to discuss the selection of troops to enter Pyongyang.

Zhang Jian advocated taking the soldiers of the Zhichong government as the main force, on the grounds that the army was in the capital of other countries, and there were too many unpredictable things, and if you were not careful, the 30,000 horses would make people make dumplings, and the risk was too great.

And Li Jing and Li Tao advocated directly transferring one guard from the sixteenth guard, and the reasons were also very solid.

The two military gods believed that the first task of the 30,000-strong army was to protect the Goguryeo royal family, and once there was a change in Pyongyang, these 30,000 horses would have to bear the tough battle of holding on to the waiting center in addition to ensuring the safety of the Gao family.

Such a difficult task, the soldiers of the Zhichong Mansion can't complete it at all, and they can't do it unless the elite of the Sixteen Guards!

The courtiers were divided into two factions to argue on this issue, and Li Shimin smiled and neither stopped nor expressed his opinion.

Wenchen's side was wailing about the logistics of the army's expedition, and the household department pulled Lao Li to cry poor, and the prison was also bitter, saying that the ordnance and armor of the war with Xue Yantuo in the past two years were already tight, and the treasury could run horses......

Hanyuan Hall became more lively than the West City, and after a stick of incense, the inner servant didn't have time to sing and rushed in, knelt in front of Li Shimin with a bang, and stammered with a pale face: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, the Goguryeo deputy envoy Quan Wensheng gave birth to him...... He...... He's dead! ”

……

Quan Wensheng...... He's dead?

This fantastical news shocked everyone, and the noisy Hanyuan Hall instantly became like a ghost, and everyone could hear the violent heartbeat in their chests.

Not good!

Li Tai and Gao Yuqi glanced at each other, this is the rhythm of damn bad things!

Li Shimin's warm old face became distorted by anger, and he roared in a rare gaffe: "You say it again, Quan Wensheng is ...... Is he really dead? ”

The chamberlain broke out in a cold sweat, and the two trembled: "Your Majesty, Quan Wensheng is really dead!"

He drank the wine and committed suicide, bleeding to death, and the slave and maid probed the corpse and it was already cold, and he drank the wine no later than half an hour! ”

Li Shimin shouted: "Honglu Temple, the dignified deputy envoy of Goguryeo committed suicide and died right under your noses, and it has been half an hour before and after, and you don't even realize it."

What are you guilty of?! ”

Honglu Siqing lay down again, and said in a panic: "Back to Your Majesty, Naquan Wensheng has regained his freedom a few days ago.

In view of the identity of the envoy of the other party, Honglu Temple was not ordered by the imperial court, and categorically did not dare to monitor the envoys of a country, so the movements of Quan Wensheng and his party in the past few days have not been mastered! ”

"Rubbish! Rubbish! Rubbish!!!

A bunch of rice buckets!

It's all waste refreshment......"

Li Shimin's angry scolding echoed in the Hanyuan Palace, but no one dared to explain it......
