The kingdom is the gathering of the people, and the princes are the king.

Although it is the land of princes, after all, it becomes a country, splits the soil and seals the king, and establishes a country to exercise power, which is a major event in any era, and the founding ceremony is to invite people to watch the ceremony.

Why did the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty gather in the Bohai Sea?

Why did Li Shimin bring the entire court?

The emperor's car parade is just an excuse, and the hundreds of officials accompany the tour, which is also an excuse, the emperor brought his wife and children, and the civil and military officials also brought their respective families to leave the Central Plains for the sake of the founding of the Bohai Sea.

This was the first vassal state of the Tang Dynasty.

It's not just your own people who need to be invited.

"All countries and places in the world, the news has been sent, right?"

Li Shimin suddenly spoke, his tone was very solemn, and the emperor's eyes stared straight at Li Yun, with an indescribable meaning in his eyes.

Li Yun hurriedly replied and said: "Since June this year, knowing that you are going to Bohai, my nephew began to prepare for the founding of the country, while building the city, while dealing with trivial matters, such as sending letters and inviting people to watch, all affairs are not missing. ”

"Really?"

Li Shimin seemed to groan, and said in a slightly pondering tone: "I started to send letters in June, and now it is October, a full four months, enough time for guests to come in a hurry......"

Suddenly asked: "Since the letter has been sent, can there be a specific reply?" In this way, we can calculate the number of people who come to congratulate and know in advance where the guests are coming from. ”

Li Yun did not hesitate to speak, and said: "The founding of the country is like starting a family, so my nephew sent an invitation letter with a courtesy, and there is almost no omission in all surrounding countries, since it is to invite others to come to watch the ceremony, then it must be treated equally, in addition to those countries that can be called countries, my nephew also invited some forces that have not been called countries, such as the cities of the Western Regions, such as the six regions of Nanzhao, or the super part of the grassland, or Baekje and Silla in Liaodong......"

Speaking of this, he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Even the Goguryeo that has been destroyed, the nephew has sent them an invitation to watch the ceremony, and Goguryeo has a total of 129 large cities, and the nephew has sent them 129 letters. A few days ago, I got a reply from Changsun Chong and Uncle Cheng and others, and it has been determined that these Goguryeo city lords will come to participate, in addition, six additional letters were issued, which are the six numbers that Goguryeo has just established, and six Goguryeo people have become the Liao people's governors, and those six slaves are bent on meeting the master's family, and it is said that there will be heavy gifts to each of them when the time comes. ”

Li Shimin nodded, signaling that Li Yun was doing a good job, and suddenly the emperor spoke again, and said with some emotion: "When I ascended the throne as the emperor, the surrounding countries rarely came to congratulate, this is a big regret in my life, but fortunately, I have you to help me get around." ”

Li Yundun hesitated again and said, "Second uncle, my nephew is not sure if they will come. ”

"Don't worry, they'll definitely come!" The emperor's face was full of confidence, with a leisurely look in his eyes, and he suddenly smiled meaningfully, and said lightly: "Even if you don't send them a letter, they will come uninvited. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Li Yun and said meaningfully again: "Now that there are about to have more of your Bohai vassal states in the world, it means that they may have more soldiers and interests, so you don't need to worry, those people will come uninvited." ”

Li Yun nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly pointed out: "For example, the tiger in Lingnan sent a son over early......

How do you know that Li Shimin laughed, shook his head and said: "Feng Gu is scheming, but this matter is wrong, he sent his son to Bohai, the original intention was nothing more than to take the opportunity to watch the ceremony to do things secretly, or to intersect with the gate valve, or to get along with the important ministers, but unfortunately his son has a lazy personality and does not take Feng Gu's task seriously at all." ”

Li Yun shook his head lightly and whispered, "I don't think his son named Feng Zizai is lazy. ”

As he spoke, he seemed to feel that his expression was not clear enough, so he thought about it and added again, and said: "The world only pays attention to appearances, and when they see laughter and madness, the so-called laziness may just be a strategy, otherwise how could Feng Gu rest assured that he would send a son out......"

Li Shimin nodded, suddenly looked solemn, and said in a deep voice: "Don't I know? I'm just joking. Stinky boy, you have to remember, don't take Feng Gu lightly, this person dominates Lingnan and Jiaozhi, and he holds real power in his hands, but he can surrender the desire in his heart, and he has never taken the step of founding the country and becoming the emperor, but has written to me to ask for a title, and let me give him the title of Lingnan Duke...... Tsk, Lingnan Gong, Lingnan Gong, nominally a national prince, is actually a soil emperor. This move can be said to be a wonderful game, both to gain reputation and benefits, and at the same time to advance and retreat freely, deep in the art of war, if one day I Central Plains is weak, he Lingnan State horse turned his face, if the Tang Dynasty has been strong, he Lingnan Gong continues to be his soil emperor. ”

Li Yun looked at the south and muttered, "Lingnan ......"

The emperor looked to the southwest, and said softly: "Tubo ......"

The two suddenly looked at each other, and they both saw the ambition and ambition in each other's eyes. But they are all declared in their mouths, just a tacit understanding of each other.

Eat the rice one bite at a time.

The road must be taken one step at a time.

Now that Goguryeo has just been swept away, it has not yet reached the level of complete consolidation, and the hearts of the Goguryeo people have never been attached, and there are also Silla and Baekje eyeing each other......

You need to be steady!

……

……

Liaodong, Marudu Mountain City.

This used to be the national capital of Goguryeo, even if the country is destroyed, you can still see the majesty of this city, the city is built according to the mountain, the roads in the city are vertical and horizontal, if you stand on the top of the mountain and look at it, the city is full of high-gate mansions, and there are countless small doors and small households gathered into a workshop, and there are four or five hundred thousand Goguryeo people living in it.

It was evening, and as soon as the night was dark and the cold wind was howling, a figure suddenly appeared on the street. This man walked all the way through the streets and alleys, and everywhere he passed was all secluded and uninhabited, and he ran for about a stick of incense, and for some reason suddenly turned to the main road in the city.

A high-gate mansion, standing on the side of the main road, this man glanced at the door from a distance, turned his head and returned to the alley again, he continued to walk through the streets, as if he was going around, so that another incense time passed, this person actually appeared directly behind the high-gate mansion.

Knock knock!

He stepped forward and knocked violently on the door, and the sound was loud in the night, but before anyone could speak, the man suddenly jumped onto the wall, and then turned and jumped down, all the way down the road in the courtyard.

"Who?"

At last someone shouted, apparently aware of the man's creeping approach, and heard a loud sound in the dark night, and a faint flash of knife light in the corner of the wall under the moonlight.

However, the person who climbed over the wall did not fluctuate, and just said in a deep voice: "Kazukaze Keiko, let your people withdraw." ”

There was a creak, and a door opened.

But seeing a Dongying girl's face full of anger, she said with murderous intent in her eyes: "You are so bold, you dare to appear, do you know what kind of place this is?" This is the former capital of Goguryeo. The army of the Bohai Kingdom is stationed here, and you may be found at any time......"

"Hahaha!"

The man laughed loudly, but his face was very indifferent, and said, "The more dangerous the place, the less dangerous it is." He suddenly raised his feet, walked all the way to the door of the room, looked straight at the Dongying girl, and asked leisurely: "Kazukaze Keiko, what about the etiquette of your Dongying people?" When the old people see each other, don't you invite me in and sit down? ”

Dongying girl's eyes were cold, and she said, "If you have something to say, you won't wait for it." ”

"Good!"

The man didn't seem to be angry, and suddenly spoke again, "What's going on?" ”

The Dongying girl hesitated slightly, then pretended not to understand, and said coldly: "What are you referring to?" ”

"What else could be? Naturally, it's your legacy's business! This person's tone was still indifferent, as if Gujing Wubo said: "In April of the sixth year of Zhenguan, your Dongying envoy group landed in Silla, and then crossed the border of Baekje and arrived at my Goguryeo Maru Mountain City, you are going to the Tang Dynasty as an envoy, but you encountered a decisive battle between Goguryeo and the Tang Dynasty, so the envoy group stagnated, and it has been more than a year after a rough calculation......

This person paused as he spoke, stared straight at the Dongying girl, and said with a light smile: "In the past year or so, you have submitted credentials to the Tang garrison many times, hoping that they can let go of the checkpoints of your envoy group, but unfortunately you have never received a reply after many efforts, and more than 20,000 people in your Dongying envoy group have been stopped here day after day." ”

Dongying's eyes were even colder, and she said, "Since you know everything, why bother asking?" ”

"Must ask!"

"Why?"

"Because this time is different from the past, you will definitely be allowed to go this time?"

"So you already knew......"

The look of the Dongying girl seems to be a little inappropriate.

The man who spoke smiled faintly again, and said leisurely again: "Bohai founded, invited to watch the ceremony, your Dongying envoy was originally going to send an envoy to the Tang Dynasty, how can you keep stopping you by submitting credentials many times, this time Li Yun's founding ceremony will inevitably let you pass, and my purpose here is very simple, that is, to ask you when you will leave......
