Chapter 541: Goguryeo Changes
Because he had been busy arranging the reunion of Yang Lihua and Yuwen Panruo for several days, Yang Guang had not yet had time to meet Yu Xiaoren, who had returned to Bingzhou with Yang Lihua, and asked him in detail about the recent changes in the DPRK, especially the case of Gao De's Shangshu and Zhang Xutuo's monitoring of the latest progress of the Xinyi Shitai, so he only accompanied the eldest sister to live in the city of Baidaozhou for one night, and the next morning, he urged Yang Lihua to return to Bingzhou with him.

When Yang Guang and his entourage arrived in Bingzhou City, they had just walked outside the gate of Jinyang Palace, but when they looked up, they saw Gao Liansheng, a Liaodong leather merchant who had followed Yu Xiaoren to Bingzhou and claimed to be an important person to see him, was waiting anxiously outside the gate of Jinyang Palace.
Seeing Yang Guang and his entourage walking towards Jinyang Palace from a distance, Gao Liansheng was about to run to Yang Guang's horse, but was stopped by the sergeant guarding the gate of Jinyang Palace.
"Bold! collided with the prince, don't you want to live? The two sergeants flattened their halberds, blocked Gao Liansheng's way, and shouted at him.
"The two military masters, please make it convenient and make a way. The little old man really has something important to tell the prince in person. Gao Liansheng begged the two sergeants who were blocking the way, and bent down to get through the two halberds.
"Old man, you're looking for death!" One of the sergeants couldn't help but say, raised his leg to the chest and kicked Gao Liansheng, Gao Liansheng was kicked so hard that he took a few steps backwards in succession, and fell to the ground.
"You don't have to make a mistake, Xian Yuluo, go and help Boss Gao and take him to the main hall of the palace to reply." Yang Guang stopped the two sergeants in time, rode past Gao Liansheng on horseback, and entered Jinyang Palace first.
After personally sending the eldest sister Yang Lihua back to the lower part of Jinyang Palace to rest, Yang Guang ordered someone to send Yu Xiaoren to the main hall to reply, and then hurried back to the main hall of Jinyang Palace.
Outside the gate of the main hall, Gao Liansheng seemed to have been kicked before, and he was afraid of being kicked, and when he saw Yang Guang coming, he no longer dared to run to Yang Guang as he did outside the palace gate, so he just stood in place and saluted Yang Guangzuo, wanting to attract his attention.
"Boss Gao, why did you come to Jinyang Palace by yourself without being summoned?" Yang Guang walked past Gao Liansheng, waved his hand to signal him to follow him into the hall to speak, and asked him casually.
"The prince is graceful. If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Lao'er received a message from Liaodong yesterday and was anxious to return to his homeland, you would have borrowed the courage of Xiao Lao'er, and Xiao Lao'er would not dare to come to alarm the prince without authorization. Gao Liansheng followed behind Yang Guang, trotted all the way into the main hall, and explained to Yang Guang with a smile.
"Liaodong Messenger?" Yang Guangjin sat down on the seat in the center, raised his eyes to stare at Gao Liansheng, and asked, "Liaodong sent a message to you, how did it reach Bingzhou?" ”
"This ...... Xiao Lao'er didn't understand, how could they know that Xiao Lao'er had come to Bingzhou......" Gao Liansheng said with a smile.
"Okay. Then you might as well tell me what happened in Goguryeo that made you so eager to return to your homeland? Yang Guang raised his eyes and saw Yu Xiaoren walking into the hall, beckoning to him, and then asked Gao Liansheng.
"Back to the prince, last night Liaodong sent a message saying that there were some changes in the country, and the king urgently summoned me to return to China, so I came to bid farewell to the prince." Gao Liansheng still stumbled, refusing to directly say what had happened in Goguryeo.
"It wasn't for your reminder that this king almost forgot. Boss Gao, you are still a dignified uncle in the middle of Goguryeo, and it is inconvenient to talk about the changes that have occurred in your homeland to outsiders. If you refuse to speak, this king will not ask too much. Yang Guang said suddenly, "While General Yu is also here today, please tell me first, what are you doing when you made a special detour to meet the king in Bingzhou?" ”
Gao Liansheng waved his hand again and again: "Don't misunderstand, Lord Wang, in fact, there is nothing inconvenient to say." It's just that the king of the old country, Takayu, has recently been seriously ill, so he has sent me a message to return to his old country......"
Yang Guangdeng's eyes lit up, stared at Gao Liansheng, and asked, "Are you serious?" Is Takashi really seriously ill and in a hurry to summon you back to China? ”
"How dare the little old man deceive the prince?" Gao Liansheng was stared at by Yang Guang and trembled, almost knelt down in front of Yang Guang on the spot, and hurriedly argued, "Little Lao'er came to Bingzhou, and the original Yang had the permission of the prince to open a branch in Bingzhou to expand the sales of leather goods. ”
As early as five years ago, when Yang Guang learned about the life experience and origin of this Gao boss from Yu Xiaoren, he guessed that he must be an important eyeliner that the King of Goguryeo intended to place in Chang'an City. Running a leather business. Since there has been such an urgent change in the homeland, I will first order someone to escort Boss Gao back to his homeland today, and when the matter of the homeland is over, I welcome Boss Gao to return to the state and meet the king again. As he spoke, he turned his head to Xian Yuluo, who was standing in the hall, and ordered: "Send an order to General Duan Da, ordering him to select two capable sergeants from the hussar camp of this king and escort Boss Gao back to his homeland." ”
Gao Liansheng couldn't refuse, so he had to thank Yang Guangqian for his kindness, and then followed Xian Yuluo out of the palace and returned to Goguryeo.
"Hyoren, in your opinion, when Gao Tang was seriously ill, this uncle Wang, who was far away in Bingzhou, was urgently summoned to return to Goguryeo, could it be that he wanted to promote Gao Lian to be a lonely?" Looking at Gao Liansheng's back, Yang Guang asked Yu Xiaoren in a deep voice.
"As the prince said, it's not a good thing for the court." Yu Xiaoren replied calmly.
"Oh? Where does this begin? Yang Guang shifted his gaze to Yu Xiaoren's face and asked puzzledly.
As everyone knows, Gao Liansheng is the only living uncle of Goguryeo King Gogoku, and he is far away from his homeland and has been doing business in Chang'an City for many years. However, according to the last general's understanding, for so many years, Gao Liansheng seems to have never transmitted a piece of information to the Goguryeo Kingdom that is unfavorable to the imperial court, on the contrary, not long ago, it was he who presented a rare chain mail to the prince, so that He Choufu was able to successfully imitate the chain mail, which greatly contributed to the significant improvement of our army's combat power in the future. Based on this, it can be seen that Gao Liansheng has good intentions for my Great Sui, and if Gao Tang entrusts him with a heavy responsibility after his death, it will definitely be conducive to the state exchanges between our Great Sui and Goguryeo......"
"However, you must not forget, that is, even the Turkic Shabalu Khan, who was an enemy of the imperial court in the past, went to Chang'an to see his father and emperor in person, and bowed his head to my Great Sui and proclaimed himself a minister, but it was this Goguryeo who regarded himself as a vassal state and paid tribute to my Great Sui every year, but he still refused to return to Gao Baoning, the remnant general of the former Qi Dynasty. His father repeatedly invited Goguryeo King Goyu to enter the court and Jin, but he rejected them without exception. Can Gao Liansheng, who is a businessman, change this status quo? Yang Guang coldly questioned Yu Xiaoren.
