Chapter 979 Goguryeo News

"That's right." Li Zheng said again: "After the land pledged to us by Tubo is properly managed and managed, the few pieces of land that are not pledged will immediately be envied. We only need to give the Tubo people a rich life."

Li Xiaogong quickly discovered the mystery, "Will there be internal strife between those who live in the pledged land and those who live in the non-pledged land?"

Li Zheng smiled and said: "The few pieces of land I left behind are neither good nor bad."

Li Xiaogong said again: "Only if there is civil strife in Tubo, the Tang Dynasty will have an opportunity to attack again, and even take back the entire Tubo?"

After thinking about this, Li Xiaogong took a deep breath, "It's such a poisonous and tricky scheme, no wonder you want to stay in the Potala Palace, this time it's for Songtsan Gampo."

Li Zheng nodded.

Li Xiaogong said again: "Have you overlooked one point, what if Songtsan Gampo disagrees with the pledge this time?"

Li Zheng sighed and said: "If he disagrees, then withdraw the troops and make Tubo mess up again. The big cannibals haven't retreated yet."

"Right."

Li Xiaogong kept the contract and nodded, "I'm going to report to His Majesty right away."

That afternoon, Lu Dongzan packed his bags and left Chang'an.

Li Xiaogong came to the palace to report the result of this negotiation to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin looked at the map of Tubo and said, "Songtsan Gampo handed over half of Tubo to Tang?"

Li Xiaogong bowed and said: "Li Zheng's plan is indeed like this."

Li Shimin looked at the contract in front of him and said, "It seems that Li Zheng is very suitable for the Ministry of Rites."

Li Xiaogong nodded heavily, and whoever is most suitable to do these things now is Li Zhengji.

Most of the officials in the court read Confucian classics, that is to say, they are too gentlemen, and gentlemen have reached the point of decay, and this smell of decay fills the entire court.

This is also the reason why the five surnames were broken in the imperial examination.

Li Shimin sighed and said: "Li Zheng is not a member of the court after all."

Li Xiaogong bowed and said: "I will try my best to persuade Li Zheng."

While the two were talking, a young eunuch came hurriedly, seeing Li Xiaogong here, he hesitated to speak.

Seeing the embarrassment of the little eunuch, Li Shimin said, "Say it directly."

"Here." The little eunuch bowed and said, "Duke Zhao is still in the East Palace."

Li Shimin nodded and said: "I remember that the prince has already dealt with the matter of the five surnames, right?"

The little eunuch bowed and said: "Return to Your Majesty, everything has been dealt with, and the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple have been archived."

With a long sigh, Li Shimin said with a wry smile: "It seems that uncle Zhao Guogong is very close to the crown prince."

Li Shimin attaches great importance to the prince, and the clue of this matter can be seen from the beginning of Li Shimin's accession to the throne.

How did Li Shimin sit on the throne back then, how much Li Shimin now values ​​the position of prince.

Looking at the night outside the window, Li Shimin said: "It's getting late, you should go to rest early."

Li Xiaogong bowed and said: "The minister will leave."

Quiet was restored in Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin still looked at the contract in front of him.

Wang Ding walked into the palace from the dark night and bowed to Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, the news just came from the frontier that Goguryeo has appointed a new general, Yuan Gai Su Wen."

Li Shimin took a sip of his drink and said, "Who is Yuan Gai Suwen?"

Wang Ding said in a low voice: "He is a nobleman in Goguryeo, and his father is also the prime minister of Goguryeo."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "It's interesting that the prime minister's son becomes a general."

Wang Ding nodded and said: "Now the king of Goguryeo's royal power is weak, the king of Goguryeo is surrounded by members of Yuangai Suwen's family, and the power is left behind, and he dare not confront the Yuangai Suwen family. deal with it aside."

Li Shimin said with a smile: "He is a great person. He almost made King Goguryeo abdicate and become king himself."

Wang Ding went on to say: "Yuan Gai Suwen is arrogant and domineering, and even clamored to make his son the regent. If Yuan Taizuo, Yuan Gai Suwen's father, did not stop him, there might be two kings in Goguryeo. "

Li Shimin still nodded after listening, "It seems that Yuan Gai Suwen is a very ambitious person."

Wang Ding said again: "The only person who can control Yuan Gai Suwen is his father. Now his father is old and can't afford serious illness. He may die at any time now."

Li Shimin sneered, "This Yuangai Suwen may be the ruler of Goguryeo?"

Wang Ding still nodded, "It should be like this now."

"What does he think of Datang?"

"Based on his views on the Central Plains, he has always been very disdainful of the Central Plains, and even wanted to send troops to attack the Central Plains." Wang Ding smiled and said, "I don't know if he just said it casually or really planned to do it. .”

Li Shimin said in a low voice: "Does Li Zheng know?"

Wang Ding bowed and said: "I will know tomorrow, and Yixin has now entered the territory of Koguryo, and has brought money and goods from Jingyang, pretending to be a wealthy businessman from the Central Plains to Goguryeo, and has mixed into the Goguryeo dignitaries."

Hearing the name of Xinxin, Li Shimin was a little surprised, "This Xinxin is the person who helped Li Zheng sell weapons before?"

Wang Ding nodded in agreement.

Li Shimin said again: "You said, how did Li Zheng fall in love with such a happy boy from Taichang Temple?"

Wang Ding took a deep breath and said, "The old slave can't figure it out either."

A little happy boy, no one knows that he is so suitable for living in another country.

At the beginning, he was a weapon seller, but now he actually worked for Li Zheng, and even mixed with the nobles in Goguryeo. If one day he can enter Goguryeo, this satisfaction will play a very important role.

The soldiers and horses have not yet moved, and there is no movement from the court to prepare to march into Goguryeo.

Li Zheng planted a nail in the enemy first.

Wang Ding said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's getting late."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "You step back."

Wang Ding saluted again and said, "Your Majesty, rest early."

Walking out of the Ganlu Hall, Wang Ding stood outside the hall, and the drizzle fell from the night sky.

The little eunuch outside the hall couldn't see Wang Ding's expression clearly at the moment, the night was very dark, and he could barely see Wang Ding's figure clearly in the afterglow of the candle.

The next morning, it was still raining.

Li Zheng was sitting at the door of his house having breakfast with Li Daxiong.

Holding his rice bowl, Li Daxiong said, "This year's rain is too much."

Li Zheng looked at the distance in the rain and said, "It's much better than before."

Li Daxiong said with a sad face: "There is too much rain, and the mud in the field is soaked in water. It is not easy to grow food. The food has just been planted, and so much rain has affected the harvest."

After speaking, Li Daxiong looked at Li Zheng with a strange face.

Li Zheng was a little scared, "Look at the grain in the field, what are you looking at me for?"

Li Daxiong said with a tangled expression: "You got promoted again?"
