The Zhou Dynasty was the prime minister, Li Chenghao's mansion.

Li Chenghao dragged his tired body back home, and before his buttocks were hot, a small servant came to report, "Master, someone outside the door asks to see him, claiming to be Dafeng Jinyiwei..."

"Huh?"

"Da Feng Jin Yiwei?"

"Isn't it the institution that is directly responsible to the Son of Heaven?"

Li Chenghao was shocked, hurriedly got up and said, "Quickly invite the noble person in." ”

The prestige of this institution is well known at home.

As a neighbor of Daebong, some of Goguryeo's high-ranking officials also heard about it.

It is said that the Jinyi guard has the privilege of cutting first and then playing.

The officials of Dafeng were all terrified when they heard the name of Jinyiwei.

The person who came was the person in charge of the entire Goguryeo intelligence this time, Liang Rui.

Liang Rui is also a ranger.

At a young age, he entered the Jinyi Guard.

started from the ordinary brocade guard, and now it has become the general flag.

In the past, when he pacified the rebellion of the vassal king, he was brave and resourceful, and he rebelled against Topaz and was promoted.

The previous rebellion against Jin Yunen was Liang Rui's handiwork.

And now, Liang Rui also looked at the nobles of the Zhou dynasty.

"I don't know if the noble man has arrived, and I hope that the noble man will forgive his sins..."

Prime Minister Li Chenghao is over half a hundred years old, and his attitude is extremely polite, and he greets Liang Rui.

"The Prime Minister has an overreputation." Liang Rui replied with a smile, "My name is Liang Rui, the chief flag officer of Jinyi Guard, and I came today to discuss with the prime minister..."

"Lord Liang, please." Li Chenghao warmly invited Liang Rui to the main hall of the mansion, and ordered his subordinates to serve hot tea, snacks and fruits.

Li Chenghao fidgeted and said, "I don't know what Lord Liang has to discuss with the old man?" ”

"It's not a big deal."

"I'm here this time."

"I want to tell the prime minister a word."

Liang Rui took a sip of hot tea, looked at Li Chenghao and smiled.

"Please also show Lord Liang." The prime minister thought about it, but he really couldn't figure out Li Chenghao's intention, so he said loudly.

The corners of Liang Rui's mouth rose slightly, and he said lightly, "Good birds choose trees to rest." ”

Hearing this, Li Chenghao frowned.

The Goguryeo people also learned Han culture.

He knew exactly what that meant.

This sentence expresses a lot of information.

"Ugh..."

"It seems that we can't reconcile..."

After a moment of silence, Li Chenghao sighed.

He knew that this time, the Emperor of Heaven was determined to destroy the Goguryeo Zhou Dynasty.

"Reconciliation?"

"Your Excellency."

"You're originally from Goguryeo."

"How are you doing all these years of allegiance to the Zhou family?"

"I heard that the Zhou clan is brutal and unkind, and those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me die, which has long made many nobles dissatisfied."

"Is that the case?"

Liang Rui smiled disdainfully, and then said many national conditions under the rule of the Zhou family over the years.

For example, Li Chenghao and these people are all Goguryeo.

There are also many high-ranking officials in the DPRK and China, who are also Goguryeo.

They worked for the Zhou family, but Zhou Yongcheng had a brutal temperament, and many ministers died at the hands of Zhou Yongcheng.

Speaking of which, it is also strange that such a person can rule most of the Goguryeo Peninsula for decades.

Originally, after Zhou Yongcheng usurped the throne, there were many people who opposed it.

However, those who oppose it have been cleaned up by iron-blooded means.

The same is true for Jin Yunen, who defected to Cheng before.

He was considered to have surrendered to Zhou Yongcheng earlier.

But Zhou Yongcheng didn't treat him as a human being at all.

Such things abound.

And Zhou Yongcheng's son is also tyrannical.

It can be said that the future of the Zhou dynasty is in jeopardy.

The Zhou clan performed death to the fullest.

The princes and nobles of the Goguryeo Peninsula are honest, and if they were to be the Han dynasty, they would have rebelled against such a king.

"Alas...."When the prime minister heard these words, he sighed and said with a wry smile, "What Lord Liang said is true, the old man is not for the Zhou family, but for my people of Goguryeo!" ”

Once the war starts.

The people of Goguryeo will inevitably suffer.

This is what the prime minister does not want to see.

If you can appease the anger of the Son of Heaven in exchange for peace, then it is the best.

Moreover, Li Chenghao also has other concerns.

Their family is also a noble family.

If Da Feng destroys the Zhou family in one fell swoop, can he and the others have a better life?

Reasonable and reasonable, Li Chenghao did not want to see the flames of war break out.

"The Prime Minister is noble."

"However, the root of this time lies in the Zhou family."

"We are the Son of Heaven, but we are kings of benevolence and righteousness."

"This war is only to hold the culprits responsible."

"The rest of the things, the prime minister doesn't have to think about it."

Liang Rui seemed to see the concerns in Li Chenghao's heart, and in one sentence, he said all the worries in the old prime minister's heart.

"This..."Li Chenghao's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Lord Liang, is this true?" ”

"Nature." Li Chenghao smiled and said, "I'm not afraid to tell you that you have already decided to start an incident in the name of the Qing monarch when you are the imperial lieutenant and the general Zuo, if you join the prime minister, the big thing can be decided!" ”

"What?"

"Aren't the two of them still fighting today?"

Li Chenghao was shocked, Taiwei and General Zuo were also Zhou Yongcheng's right-hand men, how could they also defect?

"Nothing is impossible."

"After all, they don't want to sit idly by and watch Zhou Yongcheng lead all his people to the abyss."

"How?"

"Prime Minister, how are you thinking about it?"

Liang Rui didn't bother to talk nonsense with Li Chenghao anymore, and went straight to the point.

I saw Li Chenghao gritting his teeth, and immediately said loudly, "Lord Liang, even if the old man gives up this life, he will have to admonish him!" ”

"Okay."

"Then you can discuss."

"If there's anything you need, just ask."

"Liang will leave first."

Liang Rui got up and prepared to leave.

Li Chenghao also got up and said, "Lord Liang, stay and have a light meal before leaving, I've already asked people to do it..."

"No, no, no..."

"Your kimchi rice, Liang can't get used to it." Liang Hao shook his head and said, "After Wang Shi occupies Seoul, it's not too late for us to eat." ”

"Okay."

Li Chenghao was embarrassed, so he could only get up and send him off.

Eating kimchi is a tradition of the Goguryeo people.

Even in later generations, this tradition is still alive.

That night.

Li Chenghao secretly met with Taiwei and General Zuo.

After the trio conspired, they formulated a lot of guidelines.

However, because of the news of the departure of the Dafeng army, Zhou Yongcheng strengthened the guards of the palace several times.

It's easier said than done.

But there are still a lot of details to pay attention to.

The other side.

Seven days have passed since Daebong's 100,000-strong army set out on the march.

First, the army of land and water successfully landed in the southern region, and with the point of Kim Yong-eun, the army could reach Seoul from the south to the north.

The army also crossed the Yalu River from Liaodong and approached Seoul.

Wherever the two armies passed, there was no enemy together.

This is the earliest blitzkrieg.

The land and water fought together, and the armies in various parts of Goguryeo were like paper paste, shattering at the slightest touch.
