Thinking of the Goguryeo people, Li Wenyuan couldn't help but recall the experience he had with Xue Ju on the battlefield in Liaodong, although he did not have as high power and prestige as he does now, but there was a hearty feeling of fighting hard at any time with a gun on his horse. Compared to then, there is less tension of being watched by hunters lurking in the shadows. Thinking of this, Li Wenyuan suddenly remembered the brother and sister Yuangai Suwen and Yuangai Suzhen. Now Yuangai Suzhen is doing things under herself, firstly, she is worried that the name of killing the monarch brought by her brother Yuangai Suwen after launching a coup d'état to seize the throne will fall on her, and secondly, because she herself is a little tired of living in Liaodong and wants to see the outside world, especially what the Han dynasty in the Central Plains is like. After all, the information she received since she was a child was how rich and strong the Central Plains Dynasty was. However, it is better to hear than to see, how can these words come out of the mouths of others, and how can they have the intuition of seeing that dynasty with their own eyes and measuring that land with their feet. This is also one of the main reasons that supported Yuangai Suzhen to escape from Goguryeo and defect to Li Wenyuan.

Li Wenyuan looked at the information in his hand, and suddenly thought of something, so he carefully read the information from beginning to end, but he checked it several times and didn't find the information he wanted, so he frowned and asked Qiu Niang: "Where is the old fox Yuan Taizuo?" Why is he not mentioned in any of this information? It stands to reason that even if Goguryeo's power is too small to be worth sending people to infiltrate the night owl, then just facing the old fox Yuan Taizuo, I should have reminded you to arrange some people to spy on him, didn't I tell you at that time? ”

Qiu Niang shook her head after listening to Li Wenyuan's words, and replied, "Your Royal Highness the Tang King, you did personally instruct us to pay attention to Yuan Taizuo. And we have indeed arranged a large number of people to monitor their father and son in accordance with your orders from His Royal Highness King Tang. And the reason why the information of this person did not appear in your hands is mainly because of the coup d'état launched by Gai Suwen some time ago. He used his influence in the military over the years, especially among junior officers. From the bottom up, they overthrew the superior officers who usually held power on their heads.

You must know that Yuan Taizuo has always focused his energy on bribing superior officers. In his understanding, mastering the upper echelons of the army is equivalent to controlling the entire army. Taking control of the army gave him the right to speak in Goguryeo, but he could not have imagined that the junior officers he disdained, that is, the junior officers, were the lowest level of the pyramid-shaped ruling chain in the army. Yuan Taizuo didn't think that it didn't mean that others couldn't think of it, at least Yuan Gai Suwen still knew this very well. He took advantage of his identity as the eldest son of Yuan Taizuo, and bought a large number of henchmen among the junior officers in the army over the years, plus the superior officers on weekdays have Yuan Taizuo behind him, so he often deducts military salaries. If it is not enough to deduct military salaries, they also often squeeze junior officers and soldiers. For these things, those grassroots officers and soldiers naturally dared not speak out, but after receiving the support of Yuangai Suwen, these people immediately vented their long-accumulated grievances and overturned those superior officers who were acting on their heads.

Originally, these were just small things that happened in the army. An army mutiny can happen at any time and under any circumstances, but this mutiny is a little different, the soldiers and junior officers in the army, after overthrowing the superior officers who usually have power on their heads, have been venting their grievances and have not stopped there, but have quickly burned this anger from the army to the ruling dynasty under the impetus of Yuangai Suwen. After all, no matter who is in power, they are still needed to govern the country, and they cannot be a bare-bones commander, and these ministers also know that this kind of large-scale mutiny in the army is definitely not formed by the strength of the soldiers themselves, and there must be a hand in the shadows to manipulate these soldiers to guide the development of the whole thing.

The killing of those high-ranking officers in the army also exposed the manipulation of these soldiers behind the scenes, after all, it was only those high-ranking officers who were affected by this army mutiny. Whoever befriended the high-ranking officers who were killed in this mutiny, and none of the goblin ministers in the court knew it, and they all pretended not to know about it, and they all pretended not to know about it, and what to do and what to do, and no one stood up to prevent this from happening. Therefore, based on various circumstances and reasons, Yuan Taizuo was captured alive by the soldiers who rushed into the palace, and then he was placed under house arrest by Yuan Gai Suwen in the city of Pyongyang. Soldiers and guards are guarded every day and are not given any chance to come into contact with outsiders. At this point, Yuan Gai Suwen completed the coup d'état and successfully took over the supreme power from his father, Yuan Taizuo. Subsequently, those grassroots officers who supported their ascension were generously rewarded. From among these people new superior officers were promoted. After these things were done, Yuan Gai Suwen's control over the army was far stronger than that of his father Yuan Taizuo, and Yuan Gai Suwen's vision was much longer than Yuan Taizuo's. He knew that the strong support of the army would make his position in the court much more stable than that of his father, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as powerful.

Therefore, the current military and political power of Goguryeo has been completely controlled by Yuangai Suwen in his own hands, and the current king of Goguryeo is just a puppet. In fact, Goguryeo is now the world of the Yuan clan. For these reasons, the relevant information about Yuan Taizuo, the old fox, did not appear in the hands of His Royal Highness the Tang King. After these twists and turns, all the information about Yuan Taizuo has become outdated information. This kind of information is not valuable and accurate, so my subordinates naturally filtered it out and did not aggregate it into that information. ”

Li Wenyuan was also very shocked when he heard this. Yuan Taizuo has been fighting geese all his life, but he didn't expect to be pecked blind by geese when he was old, and the goose that pecked his eyes was taught by him himself. The world is impermanent, and it is really embarrassing to think about it. After Yuangai Suwen came to power, there were advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that Yuan Gai Suwen is not as scheming as Yuan Taizuo, but the disadvantage is that Yuan Gai Suwen is a complete pragmatist, and when making some choices, he only talks about the supremacy of interests and nothing else.
