Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 457
Goguryeo is a heart disease, not only the heart disease of the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, but also the heart disease of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

There were many reasons for Emperor Sui Yang's crusade against Goguryeo. It can be guessed that Emperor Sui Yang wanted to kill a large number of Guanzhong children by crusade against Goguryeo.

From a national point of view, at that time, Turkic confessed, Goguryeo must die!

The reason is simple. As a superpower in the known civilized world, the Sui Dynasty could not allow Goguryeo, a feudal farming country, to continue to develop.

In the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin wanted to do Goguryeo, and Li Zhi wanted to do Goguryeo, basically for this reason.

Any threat must be nip in the bud.

And Li Shimin's conquest of Goguryeo may have another consideration, that is, to prove to the world that I can do what Yang Guang can't do!

The current situation in Goguryeo is quite special. Originally, when Yuan Taejo was alive, he controlled the power of Goguryeo alone, but when he died, the situation became complicated.

The first is the confrontation between the North and the South.

The north is the base camp of Yuan Tae-joo, and he himself is also the "Master of the East" of the tribe, and he is also the Moli branch of Goguryeo.

But when he died on the front foot, King Goguryeo appointed Eulji Wende as Molizhi on the back foot, and refused to recognize Yuan Gaisuwen, the son of Yuan Taejo, as the new Molizhi.

In the north, several 'adults' also have their own ghosts.After Yuan Gai Su Wen was dealt with by the King of Goguryeo, they were unwilling to regard Yuan Gai Su Wen as the "Master of the East".

Therefore, the current Goguryeo is actually divided internally.

The South supported Goguryeo King Gao Jianwu.

In the north, several tribal leaders were at odds with each other.

It was Yuan Gai Suwen's envoy who met Gao Kaidao this time, and Gao Kaidao also knew Yuan Gai Suwen's current situation, so he wanted a real benefit.

If Yuan Gai Su Wen couldn't give it to him, why would he form an alliance with Yuan Gai Su Wen?

Chang'an, Chu Palace.

A huge map of the world was spread on the ground, and there were several braziers around it. Li Zhiyun stepped on the Youyan area, but his eyes did not stop at Youzhou, but fell on Goguryeo.

Luo Yi and Gao Kaidao are nothing to worry about, what he really intends to deal with is Goguryeo.

In terms of soldiers, Goguryeo lost to the Turks, but its victory lies in the complex terrain and strong city.

Goguryeo, which stepped into a feudal country and gave birth to an alternative Confucian culture, is a thorn in Li Zhiyun's side, no matter how you look at it.

In the known civilized world, one Great Tang is enough, and there is no need for the existence of another farming civilization.

It must die!

However, Li Zhiyun also knows that now is not the time to trouble Goguryeo. His current enemy is the Turks.

Only by killing Turks can we consider killing Goguryeo.

hula.

The sliding door was opened, and the cold wind blowing in from outside made Li Zhiyun wake up suddenly.Looking up, I saw Bao Niang wrapped in winter clothes, standing on the porch.

"Yeah, it's time to eat."

She walked in, walked to Li Zhiyun's side, and looked at the map curiously.

"Yeah, what's this?"

"Map."

"Oh." She groaned, not knowing if she understood, and immediately stepped on the map representing Goguryeo, leaving a cute little footprint.

The little girl took the big hand, and the little girl said coquettishly: "I'm hungry, yeah, let's go eat."

"Okay." Li Zhiyun picked up his daughter, glanced at the map of Goguryeo where the footprints were left, and walked away.

He secretly told himself, hold on, wait a little longer, one day, he will kill all the dead sticks of this disgusting person, destroy their ancestral temple and society, and make them Datang Prefecture and County.

The situation in Youzhou cannot affect Chang'an.After all, the two places are far apart, and the people of Chang'an naturally don't care whether the people of Youzhou are dead or alive.When they hear the news, they will worry about it for a period of time at most, and then what to do.

Xu House.

When heavy snow falls in the courtyard, Xu Shiji's heart is also the same as this courtyard.

These days, he can see the changes in the court.Not only envious of Qin Qiong and others, but also secretly scolded himself for being cowardly.

If he could listen to Qin Qiong's persuasion and follow his allegiance to Shence Mansion, he would also be the prince's confidant now.

Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in this world.

However, he didn't particularly regret it.Because he had made a wrong choice once, he didn't want to make a rash decision now.

But, now he has no choice.Either be loyal to the prince, or resign and go home.

"My lord!" The six-year-old eldest son Xu Zhen trotted in.

"what happened?"

"Brother Huaiyu and Uncle Qin Shi are here."

"Please!" He was shocked suddenly.

After a while.

Xu Zhen and Qin Huaiyu were two carrot heads rolling around in the snow, while a few servants waited on them carefully.

Inside the house, Qin Qiong and Xu Shiji were roasting by the fire.

"Mao Gong, your room is too cold. I know Yuwen Shilang, how about asking him to build you a fire room?" Qin Qiong said.

"Shubao, what is the fire room?"

Qin Qiong smiled and patted his arm.

"To tell you the truth, my arms and thighs are hurting every time it rains, especially in snowy days. Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Prince was considerate and asked Yuwen Shilang to build a fire house for me, otherwise I am afraid of pain now." I don't want to move around"

Immediately, Qin Qiong explained to him what a fire room is.

After listening, Xu Shiji said dumbly: "This is not right, I have only a casual friendship with Yuwen Shilang."

"I won't force you, just let me know if you need it."

"it is good."

After a pause, Qin Qiong said: "Mao Gong, now that the big event has been decided, what do you think?"

"Shubao, you've already said that the big thing is settled, what else can I say." Xu Shiji smiled wryly, "I know, I'm afraid of death if you make fun of me, but I'm not afraid of your jokes. I followed Li Mi back then and thought he could make things happen. But later"

Having said that, he shook his head, Li Mi hurt him too much.

"I, Yizhen, and Shixin, we have never thought about it this way. Everyone has their own ambitions, and we can understand you." Qin Qiong comforted.

"Thank you."

"We are all brothers, no need to thank you." Qin Qiong said: "I came here this time to tell you one thing. Although the world is gradually becoming peaceful, the fighting will not stop there. There are Turks in the north. Sooner or later, His Royal Highness will Let's go north. Don't let this opportunity pass you by."

"His Royal Highness is willing to use me?" Xu Shiji asked with a smile.

Qin Qiong said: "You haven't offended His Highness, so what are you afraid of. Besides, His Highness the Crown Prince has a broad mind, so don't worry."

That's true.Xu Shiji thought to himself, although he is neutral and cannot soar like Qin Qiong and others, but for the new crown prince, he is not at fault.

Thinking of this, he cupped his fists towards Qin Qiong.

"If you are rich and honored in the future, you will never forget your uncle's support."

"Don't do that." Qin Qiong waved his hand and said: "Don't mention your friendship with me, just talk about your talent, even if I don't ask, His Royal Highness will use you in the future."

Xu Shiji smiled without explaining.

It is true that he is talented, but if a group of brothers from Wagang did not speak well of him in front of the prince, he would probably have to wait for several years to be reused by the prince.

Therefore, his thanks to Qin Qiong came from the bottom of his heart.

Xu Shiji looked left and right, screened off the servants, and asked, "Shu Bao, the sage is seriously ill now, His Royal Highness, when do you plan to ascend the throne?"

This question is not unexpected, because the courtiers are speculating in private.

Qin Qiong thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "I really don't know about this. His Royal Highness has always had his own opinions in his actions."

Xu Shiji nodded, not dwelling on this question, and instead chatted with Qin Qiong about the glorious past.
