Above the court, Li Ci began to deal with government affairs.

In Li Ci's opinion, the real culprit behind the scenes has been found, and the assassination is over.

As for whether the Hexi Jiedu envoy obeyed the decree or resisted the decree, it would be known after a few days when the emperor's decree reached the ears of the other party.

Li Ci is not in a hurry.

The most important thing now is to deal with government affairs.

The emperor canceled the morning pilgrimage, and the accumulated folds were piled up as high as a hill.

These twists and turns are related to various decision-making, and every day it is delayed, hundreds of people are affected.

As for the officials involved in the assassination, Li Ci naturally handed over all the powers to Cao Zhengchun to deal with.

It's just that Li Ci also reminded Cao Zhengchun that everything is based on facts, if there are really officials who participated in the assassination or did not report it, they will naturally be killed, but if some people are wronged, then they must be released as soon as possible.

This is not because Li Ci is soft-hearted.

It's just that Li Ci doesn't want to involve the innocent in this matter.

After the Anshi Rebellion, Datang was already greatly damaged.

If Cao Zhengchun is allowed to come, I am afraid that it will cause panic among the people and escape from Chang'an City.

But even so, the assassination also caused a bloody storm in the entire Chang'an City.

I don't know how many princes and princes, royal relatives and relatives have been dismissed.

This matter has spread all over the world.

These self-respecting moderations made the emperor who had just taken office less than twenty years old, and he was still a little contemptuous.

But after this incident, no one dares to underestimate the emperor!

They are deeply aware that no matter how old Li Ci is, as long as Li Ci sits on the throne, he is the most powerful man in the world.

The emperor was furious!

Millions of corpses!

Under imperial power.

Even the envoys of all parties were terrified, fearing that one day the emperor's anger would burn on him.

...

Korea.

The king of Goryeo sat on the throne with a hint of weariness on his face.

His eyes were deep and he looked in the direction of the Tang Empire.

Seven days ago, he had personally ordered the organization of a Goryeo mission to the Tang Empire.

This time, in addition to the routine pilgrimage to the Tang Emperor, there is also a mission.

Spying on the reality of Datang!

After the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty's control over the surrounding vassal states declined rapidly.

This decline made the king of Goryeo have a trace of undesirable thoughts.

Will Goryeo be able to become independent from the rule of the Tang Empire?

For this purpose, the king of Goryeo asked the lord of Yijian Pavilion, the only god and demon realm powerhouse in Goryeo, to follow the envoy to the Tang Dynasty.

The king of Goryeo wanted to know if the Tang Empire was as majestic as in the intelligence, and it was in chaos?

"Hope..."

"Don't let Lone down..."

King Goryeo rubbed his eyebrows.

If the Tang Dynasty was still in its heyday, the King of Goryeo would naturally not have such an idea.

But that's not the case!

Something called ambition grew in the heart of the king of Goryeo.

Suddenly!

That's it!

A guard walked briskly: "The prince has returned to China, and now he is in a hurry to see the king!"

The King of Goryeo was slightly stunned when he heard this.

The Goryeo mission is back?

According to the itinerary, it should be three days before returning home?

The king of Goryeo was a little strange and asked, "Has the pavilion master returned?"

The lord of the pavilion in the mouth of the king of Goryeo is the lord of the Yijian Pavilion.

A powerhouse in the realm of gods and demons!

The Dinghai God Needle of Goryeo!

In addition, he is the uncle of the current King of Goryeo.

The guard bowed and said, "Only the prince came back alone, and he didn't see the pavilion master." ”

The king of Goryeo frowned when he heard this, and a hint of bad things rose in his heart.

"Let him in!"

Soon!

The Goryeo prince enters the royal palace.

"I've seen my father!"

The prince of Goryeo endured his grief.

"What the hell is going on?" the bad feeling in the heart of the king of Goryeo became more and more intense.

"Father, my uncle died in battle!"

As soon as the Goryeo prince's voice fell, the Goryeo king's face turned pale.

"Battle... Dead in battle?"

The king of Goryeo only felt that the sky was couching.

He never imagined that this would be the result.

The only god and demon in Goryeo was killed in battle?

"What the hell is going on?"

"Why is this happening?"

The King of Goryeo looked hideous.

The prince of Goryeo took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Uncle asked me to wait for him outside Chang'an City, and then sneaked into the palace, but when I saw Uncle Zu, Uncle was already seriously injured and wanted to die!"

When the king of Goryeo heard these words, there was not a trace of blood on his face.

"Before my uncle died, I asked me to bring some words to my father. The Goryeo prince looked up at his father.

"Say it. ”

The king of Goryeo waved his hand and leaned against the throne suddenly, losing all his strength.

"Uncle Ancestor said that the Tang Empire is definitely not as rotten as described in the intelligence!"

"Let you, father, extinguish those thoughts in your heart as soon as possible, and don't have any thoughts that shouldn't appear. ”

"Otherwise, the disaster of destroying the country is just around the corner!"

"Uncle Zu also said, don't avenge him!"

"Sneaking into the Tang Palace and violating the bottom line of the Tang Dynasty, Uncle Ancestor should be damned!!"

"In the end, if possible, my uncle asked my father to marry your youngest daughter to Datang and make peace with Datang. ”

"Only in this way can the hostility of the Tang Emperor towards Goryeo be eliminated to the greatest extent!"

"Only in this way can I protect my Koryo foundation!"

The Goryeo prince repeated it word for word.

"It's... Is it really the Pavilion Master's original words?"

The King of Goryeo's voice became extremely hoarse.

"Father, it's true!"

When the prince of Goryeo said this, his expression hesitated: "Father, when we fled from the territory of the Tang Dynasty, we were caught up by the people of the Tang Dynasty, and the rest of the mission was killed, and I was able to survive because of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, let me pass a few words to you." ”

When the King of Goryeo heard this, his expression froze: "Say!"

The prince of Goryeo looked heavy and said, "The Tang Emperor said that if my father wants to know the truth of the Tang Dynasty, come here in person!"

"The Tang Emperor is waiting for his father in the palace!"

As soon as the words of the prince of Goryeo came out, the king of Goryeo looked extremely miserable.

"Father, what should we do now?" Prince Goryeo whispered.

The king of Goryeo reluctantly stood up: "Spread the will of Gu, and the jewels that will be paid to the Tang Dynasty this year will be increased fivefold." ”

And, bring the little daughter of the lonely and dedicate it to the Tang Emperor. ”

After the king of Goryeo said these words, the whole person collapsed on the throne at once, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

He twisted his neck stiffly, looked in the direction of the Tang Empire, looked in the direction of Chang'an, and the king of Goryeo seemed to see the Tang Emperor sitting in the palace, the man with the greatest power in the world.

It was precisely because of the man's words that the king of Goryeo dared to pray for the man's forgiveness by offering his daughter.

This is a sign of incompetence for any ruler.

It will surely be recorded in the annals of history and be reviled by the people of the generations to come.

But the king of Goryeo knew that he had only this choice.

Otherwise...

Goryeo doesn't even have an afterlife!

At this thought, a sorrow rose in the heart of the king of Goryeo.

Because of his ambition, he not only let the Goryeo Kingdom bury the only powerhouse of the God and Demon Realm, but also made the King of Goryeo lose his favorite daughter!
