Chapter 839 Rumors
After Li Ji, Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui agreed, they ordered the three armies to withdraw temporarily, and 10 troops returned to Huangcheng for repairs.

After the Tang army retreated, although the Goguryeo people did not know why the Tang army retreated, it did give the Goguryeo army a chance to breathe and let them breathe a sigh of relief.

Just [-] days after the Tang army retreated, the Goguryeo people seemed to see that the Tang army had no intention of resuming the attack in a short time, so they also opened the city gate, allowing the people to enter and exit normally, which gave the Tang army a chance to enter the city carefully.

In the city of Pyongyang, Damolizhiyuangai Suwen's mansion.

Yuan Gai Suwen was in the study looking at today's latest memorials sent from various places in the city, when his eldest son, Yuan boy, walked into the room quickly.

"Father, when I inspected the north gate today, I found that the north gate was wide open, allowing people to come in and out. I asked the city gate guard, and he said it was Dad's intention. Is this true?" Su Wen asked.

Yuan Gai Su Wen watched the boy Yuan come in, nodded and said: "Yes, that's what I mean, it's still a time of war, if they don't have my permission, how dare they open the city gate."

Boy Yuan said: "Father also knows that it is still wartime, so how dare you open the city gate to allow the people to enter and leave the city? Aren't you afraid that the secret agents of the Tang army will sneak in?"

Yuan Gai Su Wen said: "The Tang army has already retreated, the city is already safe now, it would be too unreasonable to hold back the city gate."

Boy Yuan persuaded: "No, father, the retreat of the Tang army is only temporary. The Tang army will not die in destroying my Goguryeo. Sooner or later, it will return to the teacher. Opening the city gate at this time is tantamount to giving the Tang army a chance to enter the city."

Yuan Gai Su Wen sighed and said: "I don't know the truth of what you said, but now that the Tang army has retreated and the people want to return, even the supplies in the army need to be purchased. If we get stuck at the city gate like before , I am afraid that the people will be in chaos, the morale of the army will be unstable, and "

Yuan Gai Su Wen said, paused for a moment, and continued: "Besides, the Tang army has been in Liaodong for many years, and it has not been a day or two since they wanted to destroy me in Goguryeo. Pass some news inside and outside to find out who in this city is communicating with foreign enemies, so we can get rid of them as soon as possible, so as not to be dragged down again when we get it."

Boy Yuan asked, "Father already arranged eyeliner in the city?"

Yuan Gai Suwen smiled and said: "That's natural. Now the mansions of important officials in the city are all covered with my eyeliner. Just watch it. If anyone dares to collude with Tang Jun at this time, I will get it right away." information."

Yuangai Suwen appointed himself Damolizhi, the king of Gaozang, and held the power of Goguryeo for many years. Most of the Goguryeo court were Yuangai Suwen's minions, and his eyes were all over Pyongyang. With his ability, he wanted to monitor the important officials in the court. Naturally, it is not difficult.

Just as Yuan Gai Suwen was talking and discussing with Yuan Boy how to defend against the Tang army in the future, Yuan Gai Suwen's second son, Yuan Nanjian, entered the house.

Yuan Gai Suwen has three sons in total, the eldest son, Nanjian, the second son, Nanjian, and the third son, Nanjian. Now that they have grown up, only Yuannan and Yuan Nanjian can share the court affairs for Yuangai Suwen.

Yuan boy is the eldest son, theoretically he will inherit the position of Yuan Gai Suwen Damo Lizhi in the future and take power in Goguryeo. Su Wen paid more attention to his vicious temperament, and his second son, Yuan Nanjian, also entrusted him with many important tasks, such as the monitoring of officials this time.

Yuan Gai Suwen saw Yuan Nanjian coming in, and asked, "How is the matter going?"

Yuan Nanjian seemed to have gained something, and he glanced at Yuan boy with a bit of complacency, and replied: "There is already a prospect, and now I am going to tell my father."

"How?" Yuan Gai Suwen continued to ask.

Yuan Nanjian replied: "Just this afternoon, some people in the city began to secretly spread rumors, saying that Li Ji, the coach of the Tang Army, had already spread the word that they only punished the culprit this time, and did not offend others. As long as the city of Pyongyang If all the people can surrender, they will not kill any of them, and even the great king can retain the throne without losing wealth."

According to the news from the Tang army, they could even forgive King Gaozang, so the culprit in their mouths is naturally Yuangai Suwen, who controls the military power in Goguryeo and repeatedly provokes the Tang Dynasty.

Yuan Gai Suwen smiled and said: "This matter may not be taken as real, I am not at peace with Gao Zang, the whole Tang army must be aware of it, they may have the intention of causing us civil turmoil, it is not known to use this to destroy the city. "

If Yuan Nanjian found out that the news was about other officials, Yuan Gai Suwen would not hesitate to kill the family, even if he raised a knife to destroy the family.

However, since the news came from Yuan Nanjian in such a hurry, he naturally wouldn't just rely on this rumor, if only this, it would not be enough to ask for credit in front of Yuan Gai Suwen.

Yuan Nan Jian said: "If that's the only way, Er would not dare to disturb Dad, but when the news is slowly spreading in the city, Er can still find out something."

"What's the matter?" Yuan Gai Suwen asked immediately.

Yuan Nanjian replied: "Just now, my son suddenly got the news that the king suddenly left the king's city and went to the Daguan Temple in the city to worship the Buddha. The news of the Tang army in the city just started to spread. It is really suspicious that the king has such an abnormal behavior. "

"Grand View Temple? What's so weird about this?" Yuan Gai Suwen asked.

Yuan Gai Suwen didn't react too much immediately to King Gaozang's visit to the temple. After all, Yuan Gai Suwen was in power these years, and King Gaozang began to like to worship Buddha in order to avoid disasters. knew.Now that the country is in ruins, it is not surprising that King Gaozang, as the king of Goguryeo, went to temples to worship Buddha and pray for blessings.

However, Yuan Nanjian said: "If you go to other temples to worship Buddha, there is nothing weird, but this Daguan Temple is different from other temples. The head temple of this Daguan Temple is a Tang Dynasty. Can you rest assured?"

Yuan Gai Suwen was startled when he heard Yuan Nanjian's words, and asked, "What? How could I not know about this?"

Yuan Nan Jiandao: "Xuan Cheng, the name of the head of the Daguan Temple, was originally from the Tang Dynasty. He came to Goguryeo from Youzhou more than ten years ago. Because of his profound Buddhism, he is quite famous in the country. The high-ranking officials are also very kind compared to him, but because he devotes himself to worshiping the Buddha and has never been involved in government affairs, he is not noticed by others, and it is normal for my father not to know."

"I see." Yuan Gai Suwen nodded.

Yuan Nanjian said: "But although father doesn't know this person, as far as my son knows, brother should know him."

Yuan Nanjian's words caught his ears, Yuan Gai Suwen was surprised, and immediately looked in the direction of Yuan Nan.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Nan knew that Yuan Nanjian must have no good intentions, so he hurriedly explained: "I don't know the details of Xuan Cheng, but I just heard that he is good at Buddhism, and he once went to Daguan Temple to pay a visit."

Yuan Nanjian knew that now was not the time to pursue Boy Yuan, so he didn't pursue this matter, but said with a smile: "Brother may really not know the details of this person before, but now most of the people who want to come here are also related to Tang Jun. Father, please make up your mind quickly."

Yuan Gai Suwen immediately said: "Immediately order five thousand troops to follow me to the Grand View Temple. I want to see what our great king has done behind my back."
