The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 738 The Situation in Goguryeo
If it takes five to ten years to change clothes, it seems that there is no need to worry about the combat effectiveness of the army, at least until the old guys retire. As for the future, let’s talk about the future, who knows what it will be like in the future.

After solving the immediate problem, the old guys asked the forbidden soldiers to take out the gunpowder weapons that were not yet used, and had a great time in the valley.

Li Muyun saw that he had nothing to do, so he simply said goodbye to Li Er, and went to busy himself with his affairs.

On the other hand, Gao Minzhi returned to Goguryeo with great fanfare with the business group sent by the big family. This time, the mission brought back nearly 2000 million yuan of investment to Goguryeo. Not sure about the rewards either.

Gao Jianwu had already received the information and knew that the opportunity was rare, so he specially hosted a banquet in honor of the representatives of the major families, and at the same time invited the envoys from Wubu Sasa and Silla and Baekje to accompany him.

To be able to cooperate with the great families of the Tang Dynasty is considered a high achievement for Goguryeo, and it is also something that people are very envious of. Naturally, Gao Jianwu should make good use of this opportunity to make a name for himself.

At the banquet, the people from the Tang Dynasty were very open. Under the deliberate flattery of the Goguryeo monarchs and ministers, it can be said that the guests and hosts had a good time.

After the banquet was over, General Gao Jian Pei Xingjian stayed behind.

"Mr. Pei, first of all, this king would like to thank my master for his kindness. Without the guidance of King Xiaoyao, I'm afraid Goguryeo would not have such a grand event today."

"Your Majesty has said it!" Pei Xingjian couldn't figure out what Gao Jianwu meant, so he dealt with it indiscriminately.

Gao Jianwu waved his hands and drove everyone out of the main hall, cupped his hands and said, "To tell you the truth, Mr. Pei, Xiao Wang has something to ask, and I hope you can do it."

"Your Majesty can't do it, you can't do it!" Pei Xingjian was so frightened that his hairs stood on end, and he quickly returned the salute.

Although almost everyone in the Tang Dynasty did not take Goguryeo seriously, Gao Jianwu was still the king of a country. As long as he was a king, he represented the imperial power.

I didn't want Gao Jianwu to play a rogue: "If the master doesn't agree, Xiao Wang won't get up."

Pei Xingjian had no choice but to compromise and said: "Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, you might as well listen to it. It's not easy for me to make a decision if you are like this."

"This..." Gao Jianwu hesitated for a moment, sighed, leaned forward, pulled Pei Xingjian and said, "Mr. Pei, you have been in Goguryeo for a while, so you must be able to see something."

"Your Majesty, what is the explanation for this statement?"

"Mr. Pei, the power of several samurai is growing day by day. Sometimes my will can't even get out of this palace. You must know, sir?"

Pei Xingjian really wanted to say that he didn't know, but what he said was a bit against his will. After thinking about it, he could only nod his head to show that he knew.

"So, Xiao Wang would like to ask Mr. Pei for help, and discuss it with the big families in your country. I hope that this cooperation project will not cooperate with those few shamans as much as possible, so as not to increase their power."

"This..." Pei Xingjian said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, it's not that I don't help you with this matter, it's really that I'm not inferior."

"Sir, don't rush to refuse. Please help me to try it. Xiao Wang is very grateful."

As Gao Jianwu, being able to say so much can be said to be low-key. Although Pei Xingjian didn't want to get involved, it was like being put on fire at the moment, and it was impossible to refuse, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "So , Xiaosheng go back and try, if it doesn’t work, I hope His Majesty will not take offense.”

Gao Jianwu was overjoyed when he heard the words: "It's okay, sir, you can try your best. If you can't succeed, it's my destiny."

……

Pei Xingjian bid farewell to Gao Jianwu and left, and went back to the post house with a lot of worries, but there was already someone waiting for him here.

"Old Pei, do you miss me?" When the visitor saw Pei Xingjian, he warmly greeted him.

Pei Xingjian was stunned, and exclaimed in surprise: "Old Pang? Why are you here? Why didn't you notify me in advance?"

"Hey, I came here with a business group, and I can't tell you if I want to." Pang Wenlong punched Pei Xingjian's chest, and said hahaha, "Well, I've been in Goguryeo for almost a year, so I'm still getting used to it." ?”

"There's nothing you're not used to." Pei Xingjian laughed and pulled Pang Wenlong into the room, and immediately asked after sitting down: "Tell me quickly, did the king of the county tell you anything before you came here?" "

Pang Wenlong sighed: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you."

"What are you hiding? If the king of the county has any orders, you can tell them quickly."

"Well, let me tell you, the king of the county wants us to help Gao Jianwu as much as possible and meet all his requirements."

"Satisfy all his requirements?" Pei Xingjian frowned: "What you said is true?"

Pang Wenlong looked unhappy: "Of course it's true, I can still lie to you about this kind of thing."

"Then do you know what Gao Jianwu wants to do? Do you know that if we want to help him..."

"Isn't it just the civil strife in Goguryeo? The county king already knew about the Wubu Tissa, and it is precisely because of this that he asked me to tell you to help Gao Jianwu as much as possible."

Pei Xingjian asked a little puzzled: "Why? If we help him with all our strength, won't he be the only one in the end?"

"It's too much for one family to dominate. I thought the same as you before I came, but the king of the county thinks that the five tribes will never give up so easily. The more we support Gao Jianwu, the more we will make other tribes feel threatened. Perhaps For the time being, they will live in peace for a while, but in the end there will definitely be bigger disturbances."

"This, is this what the county king said?" Pei Xingjian was a little uncertain.

Seeing that Pei Xingjian didn't believe him, Pang Wenlong said with some displeasure: "I told you it's true, if you still don't believe it, just go back to Chang'an and ask."

Pei Xingjian said silently: "No, it's not that I don't believe you, but I didn't expect that the county king would think so far."

"The king of the county has always been like this. It's not that you don't know." Pang Wenlong curled his lips, looked around and asked, "You have been in Goguryeo for almost a year, so you haven't lived here all the time, have you?"

Pei Xingjian shrugged: "Otherwise? I'm just a spokesperson, not the head of a business group. Where can I get the money to buy a house?"

Pang Wenlong was a little frustrated: "Okay! Fortunately, I thought that I would be able to enjoy the blessings here, but I didn't expect to suffer with you."

Pei Xingjian glanced at Pang Wenlong contemptuously: "You can pull it down and enjoy the blessings. We have a mission in Goguryeo. We will talk about the blessings when we return to Datang."

Pang Wenlong snorted nonchalantly, and didn't take Pei Xingjian's words to heart at all. He talked about it and said, "By the way, didn't Gao Jianwu invite you to a banquet today? Is there anything new, tell me about it."
