Chapter 617: True Fragrance

The rest of the generals went back and turned back to camp with soldiers and horses according to the emperor's words, while Li Chengrui and several other major generals stood beside Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen, preparing to follow the Tang Emperor into the city.

"Zhang Liang and Li Xiaogong, the two of you lead the troops into the city, guard the city gates and the main roads in the city, if there is a rebellion, you will be killed!"

Li Er said in a deep voice.

"The last general commands!"

Zhang Liang and Li Xiaogong clasped their fists and immediately entered the city with their soldiers and horses to officially take over Pyongyang City.

"Spread the will of a certain person, the army will not commit any crime when it enters the city, it shall not burn, kill and loot, and it shall not rape and plunder, no matter who it is, if it dares to violate the military order, it will be beheaded immediately!"

Li Er said in a deep voice, the generals listened to the order, they all understood in their hearts that the emperor wanted to occupy Goguryeo, so naturally he had to win the hearts of the people, of course, he couldn't let the army burn and loot, at the palace gate, the big pair Lu sat on the steps and sighed deeply, because none of the ministers came back, they all said that they would go back to arrange the funeral, and then, they never came back, and a family member hurriedly ran over and said urgently.

"Master, master, the adults in the court have all gone to the city gate!"

Da Xiang Lu sighed helplessly and said slowly.

"They are going to greet the Tang Emperor!"

"Master, you, you are a great pair of Lu, highly respected, if you also return to the Tang Dynasty, then you will definitely be reused......"

Da said to Lu Shen.

"Don't say it again, our Li family is favored by the king, when Yuangai Suwen mutinied and killed the king, if it weren't for the moment of life and death in Goguryeo, the old man should stop Yuangai Suwen, even if he died! But for the sake of Goguryeo, the old man endured it, and originally expected Yuangai Suwen, a rebellious minister and thief, to defeat the Tang army, but he didn't expect that he would fail in the end! ”

The long street at the west gate of Pyongyang was empty, but now many people have suddenly appeared.

"Ah, Master Li, you're here too!"

"Yes, yes, it turns out that Master Cui is here too!"

"Oh, Lord Park is here too?"

……

Originally, everyone was still a little embarrassed, but after thinking about it, everyone was here to welcome the Tang Emperor, so what was there to be embarrassed? This is called knowing the times for Junjie!

"This city can't stand it anyway, if you scold the Tang Emperor like the Great Pair Lu, it will only anger the Tang Emperor, and it will be the people who will suffer in the end!"

"That's the reason, we are gathered here, not for ourselves, but for the sake of millions of people!"

"That's right, that's our responsibility!"

"It's coming, it's coming!"

"It looks like it's coming!"

……

The mighty army began to enter the city, began to take over the city, began to sweep the martial law, and a group of officials stood there intently, and a captain stepped forward to inquire.

"Who are you? What are you doing here? ”

The lieutenant asked.

"This general, we are all ministers of Goguryeo, here to welcome His Majesty the Tang Emperor into the city! I hope to be accommodating. ”

The ministers said respectfully, and the captain Pegasus reported to Li Xiaogong, and Li Xiaogong couldn't help laughing.

"This is a good thing, just let them wait there, anyway, they are all scholars, I am not afraid that they will assassinate the saint!"

Not to mention that Emperor Li Er himself is extraordinary, there are guards around him, as well as Li Yong and other fierce generals! Why worry? A group of soldiers and horses entered the city, passing by these Goguryeo ministers as if they were ignoring, and the ministers waited anxiously and apprehensively, and finally, seeing a group of generals in front of them surrounded by an extraordinary person in armor, everyone understood that this was probably the Tang Emperor.

"The ministers greet His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and welcome His Majesty the Emperor into the city!"

The ministers bowed down very neatly, as if they had been rehearsed in advance.

Li Erduan sat on a war horse, and was in a very good mood, although the ministers of the Wenli rebellion failed for ten years, and they had no ability except for a pair of mouths, but the ministers of Goguryeo could take the initiative to submit, which is of course a good thing.

"You all get up, don't be polite, you can meet so-and-so here, so-and-so is very happy!"

Li Erlang said.

"The ministers were all happy to hear that His Majesty the Emperor had led the prince to come thousands of miles, and the people of Goguryeo were also very submissive to His Majesty the Emperor's heavenly might, and they heard that His Majesty the Emperor was comparable to Yao Shun, and loved the people like a son, and the ministers respectfully asked His Majesty the Emperor to treat the people of Goguryeo well!"

The eldest brother said respectfully, and Li Erlang said.

"A certain has already made a decree, the army will enter the city without committing any crime, if there is a soldier who is a traitor and does something illegal, a certain will be severely punished! So, you can rest assured, and the people of Goguryeo can also rest assured! ”

"His Majesty the Emperor Shengming!"

The ministers said in unison, Li Er glanced back at Gao Yanshou, Gao Yanshou hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully.

"The minister will introduce to His Majesty the Emperor, this is the eldest brother Gao Yuqi."

"This is the eldest brother Cui Xu!"

……

The ministers stepped forward in turn to salute, Li Er smiled and encouraged a few words, and after introducing the ministers, Li Er looked around and asked.

"I heard that the great pair of Lu De is highly respected, and he is a minister of Goguryeo Zaifu, but I don't know why I haven't seen the big pair of Lu?"

The ministers couldn't help but be speechless when they heard this, what did they say? Could it be that the big pair Lu is waiting in the palace, ready to scold the emperor for being a bloody squirt?

"This ......"

The eldest brother stood at the front and faced the emperor's gaze, the pressure was particularly great, he didn't answer, he didn't answer, he didn't answer, Li Er was a good person, and he didn't understand when he saw this situation, so he smiled.

"It seems that there is some misunderstanding between Lu and So!"

Gao Yanshou said respectfully.

"Please also ask the saint to calm his anger, the big man Lu has always been pedantic and stubborn, so he is so ignorant of current affairs."

"That's a pity! Go to the royal palace! Let's just stay behind so-and-so! ”

Li Er said lightly, Li Xiaogong and Zhang Liang's soldiers and horses entered the city, first took over the city gate, and then went straight to the palace, control the palace, the original palace guards had already been killed, and the defenders in the city also withdrew from the city, in fact, there was no danger in Pyongyang at all, the mighty team went straight to the palace, the palace gate, the palace wall has already been covered with Tang Dynasty soldiers, but there is a person standing at the palace gate, although the person is a little rickety, but it is very spirited, it is a kind of heroic spirit.

"Sage, in front of the palace gate is the big pair of Lu, a pedantic old man who eats the ancients!"

Gao Yanshou respectfully reminded that Gao Yanshou and the generals such as Li Chengrui, who had returned to Shun, didn't think there was anything, but the eldest brother, eldest brother and other courtiers couldn't help but feel a little unnatural when they saw the big pair of Lu, especially when the big pair of Lu's eyes swept towards them, their faces flashed embarrassed looks.

"Song Yu, still don't you see His Majesty the Emperor?"

Gao Yanshou asked.

"Your Majesty the Emperor? We Goguryeo have no emperor, only kings! ”

Song Yu said in a deep voice.

"But there is no Goguryeo in this world."

Li Yong smiled, and Song Yu snorted.

"The old man once heard that the Tang Emperor is a holy king comparable to Yao Shun, who rules the world with generosity and benevolence, and loves the people like a son, but now it seems that he is brutal and unkind, and he is ruthless, you executioners, invade Goguryeo, kill our people, occupy our land, what a state of etiquette, what a heavenly kingdom, but a group of shameless robbers......"

Li Er's face was very ugly, no matter who was pointed at his nose and scolded, his face would definitely not look good, and before Song Yu finished speaking, a woman jumped forward and reprimanded.

"In the eyes of our Silla people, Datang is the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, the state of etiquette, Datang is not a bandit, but punishes evil and promotes good, and you Goguryeo are shameless bandits! You still have the face to say that others are robbers, what a shame! ”

Song Yu couldn't help but be speechless when he heard it, he scolded the Tang Dynasty as robbers, and the Goguryeo people certainly had a reason to scold them for being robbers, and they had more reasons than them, because the Tang army still had a reason to send troops, Silla was a subject country of the Tang Dynasty, Silla was attacked, and the Tang Dynasty was duty-bound as the suzerain.

"Gao Jianwu went against the grain, Yuangai Suwen rebelled, His Majesty the Emperor led troops to Goguryeo, just to bring peace and prosperity to the people of Goguryeo! Let the people live a good life! ”

Li Yong smiled, and Li Er said proudly.

"On a certain road to the east, the military discipline is strict, and there is no crime against the people, and there has never been a case of burning, killing, looting and committing adultery under the command of a certain person, but it is your Goguryeo soldiers and horses who have done a lot of evil things."

Song Yu sneered when he heard this.

"You are hypocritical, not to plot against us Goguryeo, how can the old man be deceived by your tricks......"

Before Song Yu finished speaking, the eldest brother sighed and said in a deep voice.

"Great to Lu, the Tang Army's eastward expedition, military discipline is indeed strict, and nothing has been done to hurt the heavens and reason, His Majesty the Emperor has issued an order, the army will not commit any crime when it enters the city, and please have mercy on the thousands of people in the city!"

Da Xiang Lu was silent again when he heard this, he was not afraid of death, so he wanted to scold the Tang Emperor for a good time, but he angered the Tang Emperor, maybe the people in the city were implicated, although he was not afraid of death, but the people in the city were innocent? Imagine that a year ago, Goguryeo was still stable and peaceful, but it was only a year before the country died, who would have thought? Whose fault is it for all this? It's all the fault of Yuangai Suwen, if it weren't for Yuangai Suwen's instigation to conquer Silla, the Tang Dynasty would not have sent troops to the east, and Goguryeo would not have perished!

"Yuangai Suwen! What a sinner you are for the ages! ”

The big man sighed at Lu Yangtian, then turned around and crashed to death on the palace gate, blood flowed everywhere, very eye-catching, Li Yong and others couldn't help but sigh, Goguryeo is not all greedy for life and afraid of death like Gao Yanshou, the palace is full of soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty, and the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace are trembling and trembling like walking on thin ice, all of them are very obedient, Goguryeo's palace and Chang'an's palace are of course incomparable.

"It's a little shabby!"

Li Er said with emotion.

"If it's a palace, it's okay."

Li Yong smiled, and Li Er nodded.

"Well, in the future, this palace will be set up as a palace!"

However, this palace is too remote, I am afraid that there will never be an emperor in the future, entering the main hall, Li Er sat down on the throne of Goguryeo, looked around the civil and military forces in the main hall and the generals who surrendered, and said in a deep voice.

"There are two most important things now, one thing is that the defeated soldiers are wandering around, it is easy to cause chaos, the imperial court has issued a document to all states and capitals, all soldiers can be disarmed and returned to the field, and all kinds of past events will not be investigated, if there is still chaos, it will be severely punished, and one thing is to ...... the people."

Most of these things fell on the officials of Goguryeo, after all, this is in Goguryeo, since the Yuangai Suwen mutiny, the court of Goguryeo has been in chaos, almost paralyzed, the court affairs have been abolished, there has been no such court deliberations for a long time, listening to the Tang Emperor arranged one by one, a group of Goguryeo courtiers felt in their hearts, they finally experienced what it means to rule the world, think about Gao Jianwu, and then look at the current Tang Emperor, this gap is not ordinarily big! How magnificent is Li Er's experience in this half of his life, and the governance of the Tang Dynasty is thriving, and dealing with a little Goguryeo's government is not a small test? A group of Goguryeo ministers were directly suppressed, and they suddenly had a feeling of not being wronged by losing, no wonder the Tang Dynasty was mighty, not to mention that the artillery and muskets were so powerful, even the Tang Emperor was so powerful.

"Your Majesty Emperor Qiyu, there is still one thing urgent, Silla and Baekje are raising troops to attack, and the soldiers and horses from all over the country have concentrated in the royal capital before, so that many cities have been lost."

The eldest brother said respectfully, Silla and Baekje took advantage of the fire to rob, and Li Er also knew about this, but he didn't take it to heart.

"A certain meeting of Silla will make a will, if they want to come, they will retreat, as for Baekje, such and such will also issue an order to apply for punishment, if they withdraw from the army, if they are obsessed, such and such will send a large army to conquer it!"

Li Er's words were sonorous and full of confidence, and Li Xiaogong raised his voice.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, if Baekje is obsessed and refuses to retreat, the minister is willing to lead 50,000 troops and destroy Baekje in one fell swoop!"

With only 50,000 soldiers and horses, Li Xiaogong is confident that he can wipe out Baekje, of course, he has to bring a hundred artillery pieces, and the hall is suddenly enthusiastic, why should this kind of good thing make you Li Xiaogong in vain? Only Li Yong didn't make a sound, there was no point in beating Baekje, it was better to go home and have a hot kang head for his wife and children, and a group of Goguryeo courtiers were dumbfounded, how did they feel, whether it was the Tang Emperor or these Tang generals, they all wished that Baekje would be obsessed? The city of Pyongyang is very calm, the army entered the city, there was no killing, no arson, and the people hiding at home were very confused, what is going on? The imperial court of Goguryeo began to operate, the officials posted notices, walked the streets and alleys to explain, the frightened people finally dared to walk out of the house, and from time to time there were groups of soldiers and horses patrolling the streets, but these soldiers and horses were only patrolling, and they would not loot or kill, they were just patrolling, and the worried people were quickly relieved, it turned out that the Tang army really did not commit any crimes, which was not the same as they expected, and when the imperial court suddenly issued the will of the Tang Emperor, the tax was halved today, The people in the city were pleasantly surprised to find that it was so fragrant!
