Chapter 1071 Leisurely
The people in the royal capital were pleasantly surprised to find that after the Tang army broke through Pyongyang City, it did not bring them any bad changes. Everything in the city was as usual, there was no killing or looting, only soldiers and horses patrolling everywhere.

At first everyone felt scared when they saw the soldiers and horses patrolling everywhere, but later, especially when they found out that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were eating, drinking tea and giving money, they were no longer afraid.

However, what made everyone most happy was that the imperial court issued a series of decrees, including tax reduction and exemption, corvee, etc., which made everyone really feel the benefits.

Originally, everyone thought that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty who occupied Goguryeo would definitely expropriate them, oppress and enslave the Goguryeo people. Unexpectedly, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty actually took a light payment and a small amount of money to recuperate. This is really very gratifying.

The city of Pyongyang is calm and peaceful, but since Li Shimin entered the palace, he has become extraordinarily busy, even working hard at night.

It is not for the beauties in the palace, but for the political affairs of Goguryeo. After this series of events, Goguryeo can be said to be in vain.

And for the emperor, it was not just as simple as re-stabilizing Goguryeo, but also making the officials and people of Goguryeo return to the Tang Dynasty. This cannot be done overnight, so careful planning is necessary.

Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji, Li Jing and others were very busy, but Su Cheng was free, and Shenji Ying was also free.

Because of the Shenji Battalion, there is no need to patrol, guard, or mop up defeated soldiers.

After capturing Pyongyang City, even the last defenders surrendered, and even the ministers in the court surrendered, which means that the general situation is set, and those cities that have not been captured will inevitably surrender.

There may be cities that refuse to surrender, but that is not a big problem, and there is no need to send troops from the Tang Dynasty to attack. Li Chengrui and other generals who surrendered are probably very happy to have the opportunity to perform.

It's rare to have free time, and Su Cheng finally doesn't have to live in a big tent anymore. Thanks to the prestige of the artillery, Su Cheng's name is now extremely loud in Goguryeo.

It can even be said to be louder than Li Shimin's name. Who doesn't know that Su Cheng is a hero of the Tang Dynasty, who doesn't know that Shengen is unmatched?

Therefore, I don't know how many people in Pyongyang city are rushing to give up their luxurious house to Su Cheng to live in.

In the end, Su Cheng still lived in Gao Yanshou's house, because Gao Yanshou's house was the cleanest.

Ever since Gao Yanshou was defeated and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, the concubines in the mansion were killed, and those who were sold were sold. It can be said that they were clean.

Clean and beautiful, Gao Yanshou's house is really good, the only fly in the ointment is that it is a bit big.

Originally, it was a good thing to be big, but Jin Shengman also felt that she was big and she had nowhere to go, so she also lived in, which made Su Cheng very helpless.

It's not that Su Cheng is reluctant to let Jin Shengman live in, but he's afraid that he won't be able to hold on.

In the past, they were all in the barracks, not to mention marching and fighting all day long, just that kind of range can make people suppress distracting thoughts in their hearts.

But in the picturesque manor, and people are relaxed, so Su Cheng is really afraid that he will not be able to control himself.

Now that I am free, of course I have to go out for a stroll. This time I went on a trip during the Eastern Expedition, and I had to bring some gifts back for Li Lizhi, Wu Jue and the others.

Just as Su Cheng stepped onto the horse, a gentle voice sounded behind him.

"Guo Gong is going out?" Jin Shengman came lightly in lotus steps.

"Oh, yes, it's rare to be free and go out for a stroll." Su Cheng smiled.

After hearing this, Jin Shengman said pleasantly: "Great, I just want to go out for a stroll, but I'm a little scared by myself!"

Su Cheng was speechless. You have maids and guards. What are you afraid of?

"I'm going out to ride a horse, you..." Su Cheng said hesitantly.

"I ride a horse too. I've been riding a horse all the way!" Jin Shengman said with a smile. She was good at riding at first, but her riding skills have improved as Tang Jun marched eastward.

So Jin Shengman turned over decisively, very heroic.

It was also impossible to drive people back, so Su Cheng didn't say anything, and got on his horse.

Following Su Cheng, Jin Shengman was very relieved, and only brought two maids to ride behind her.

In fact, Su Cheng only brought a dozen guards with him, and now there are soldiers and horses from the Tang Dynasty everywhere in the city, he is not worried at all that anyone will harm him.

After all, even if he was assassinated, it would be of no use, and the artillery and guns would not disappear, but would provoke the emperor to rage and kill.

After leaving the mansion, Jin Shengman was in a very good mood and rode along the long street with Su Cheng. This was a scene that would only appear in her dreams. Of course, if she could ride together with Su Cheng Jincheng's Long Street is even better.

Jin Shengman asked softly: "Where does the Duke want to go shopping?"

In fact, Jin Shengman doesn't care where to go shopping, as long as it doesn't go to brothels.

Su Cheng said with a smile: "Just stroll around, take a look at the scenery of Pyongyang City, and buy some gifts by the way."

"Gift?" Jin Shengman was very surprised when he heard it. How many people are rushing to curry favor with Su Cheng? Su Cheng still needs to buy gifts for Zhun?

Besides, going out to fight can make a fortune, even if you don't plunder, you will still have loot. A general like Su Cheng will definitely have a lot of loot, so you don't need to buy special gifts.

"When I came to Goguryeo, I always brought some gifts home." Su Cheng explained with a smile.

It turned out to be a gift for Princess Changle. Jin Shengman suddenly felt very sour when he heard it, and said with some resentment: "The Duke is really considerate."

Is that considerate?

If you put it in later generations, this can only be regarded as a routine operation. If you don’t bring gifts when you go out from a long distance, you may not be able to resist the house, even if you enter the house, you can only sleep on the sofa.

But in this day and age, this is indeed considerate. If Princess Changle and Wu Jue knew that Su Cheng bought them gifts, they would probably be moved to the point of crying.

"Idle is idle!" Su Cheng said very casually because it was not easy to show affection in front of Jin Shengman.

"What gift does the Duke plan to buy? I can give you some advice!" Jin Shengman quickly settled down. After all, she also has self-knowledge. Although she is also a princess, she is no match for Princess Changle.

Don't talk about comparing with Princess Changle, even if comparing with Wu Jue, she can't compare.

"Let's just watch and talk, the main thing is to go shopping!" Su Cheng said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, then let's go to Dongcheng. I heard that Dongcheng is very prosperous. There are many golden buildings and pawnshops, and we can just walk along the river to see the scenery!" Jin Shengman suggested.
