Li Er, three years after three years, I have been enthroned

Chapter 40: Tell the world that Goguryeo has become Goryeo County! (Please recommend and read more)
Bingzhou, Taiyuan.

The news of the expeditionary force's return spread quickly.

In the lobby of the Duke of Tang's Mansion, Li Yuan had just freshened up and was preparing to handle the affairs of the Duke of Tang's Mansion.

However, as soon as he walked out of the door, he met someone who rushed in in a panic.

This person is an official in his jurisdiction, and the area under his jurisdiction is near Luoyang, named Zhang'an.

"How did you come?"

Seeing Zhang An, Li Yuan was stunned for a moment.

After all, at this point, no one would break into Li's house under normal circumstances.

The second thing is that Zhang An is a local official and cannot leave his post without permission.

So Li Yuan was still a little confused at this time.

"Mr. Tang, big news."

Zhang An wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and said.

"what news?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan's expression became a little solemn.

If it was general news, Zhang An would not be asked to come in person.

So it is not difficult to judge from this point that the news must not be simple.

"call"

Zhang An was breathing heavily and was out of breath.

It is not difficult to see from here that he came all the way.

"talk!"

Seeing that Zhang An couldn't say a word for a long time, Li Yuan became anxious and irritable.

"Tang Gong, Your Majesty's subordinates have returned to the court."

Zhang An said.

"I know about this matter, let's talk about something else."

Li Yuan frowned.

It's just this matter, nothing to mention.

"The rest is about Yang Zhao."

Zhang An's voice became much deeper.

Hearing this, Li Yuan immediately understood and found a side room for Zhang An to come in.

"Go ahead."

When Zhang An sat down, Li Yuan couldn't wait to signal.

"Your Majesty held a celebration banquet and at the banquet, Yang Zhao was conferred the title of Marquis of Zhaowu."

Zhang An said in a deep voice.

"What, Marquis Zhaowu?"

Li Yuan exclaimed.

This is the position of marquis, and since ancient times, princes have been the highest canonization.

Yang Zhao is still so young, yet he has reached this level.

"Mr. Tang, how old is Yang Zhao?"

Zhang An asked.

"I'm seventeen years old. Why do you ask?"

Li Yuan asked.

"The imaginary age of seventeen is equivalent to the age of sixteen or so this year."

Zhang An replied.

"Yes, the title of seventeen-year-old has already broken the record of the great Han Huo Qubing!"

Li Yuan reacted immediately.

"Yes, in other words, Yang Zhao is the youngest marquis in many dynasties."

Zhang An replied.

"Congratulations, Mr. Tang."

After saying this, he specially bowed his hands to Li Yuan and smiled.

Zhang An didn't know the Li family's wishful thinking, so he simply thought that Yang Zhao would be Li Yuan's uncle in the future.

After hearing this, Li Yuan didn't respond for a while, obviously he couldn't digest the news for a while.

"Marquis Zhaowu, the youngest marquis."

Li Yuan murmured.

"By the way, how do you know these things?"

Li Yuan reacted and asked with some confusion.

Although Zhang An is a local official close to Luoyang, the banquet incident just happened and it did not spread so quickly.

"Tang Gong, I have some eyes and ears in Luoyang."

Zhang An said embarrassedly.

In fact, he basically has nothing to do with the Li family, and he has no access to the core of the Li family.

So coming here in person also wanted to cling to the Li family, so as to cling to Yang Zhao.

After all, Yang Zhao is too young. Who can say what his future achievements will be?
"Don't do this kind of thing less, otherwise you'll be careful not to lose your head."

Li Yuan came back to his senses and said in a deep voice.

"No, that's what Mr. Tang said."

Zhang An quickly replied.

"Go back. I will not pursue you for leaving your post without permission."

Li Yuan said lightly.

"Tang Gong, there is another news." Zhang An said again.

"what news?"

Li Yuan frowned and asked.

"Your Majesty has betrothed Princess Ruyi to Yang Zhao."

Zhang An said.

"is it?"

Li Yuan was greatly surprised.

But under the surprised appearance, it was extremely excited.

This means that Yang Guang completely believed in Yang Zhao, and Yang Zhao sent by the Li family had access to the core secrets of the royal family.

Wouldn't it be more convenient for the Li family to do things in the future?

"Oh, there's something wrong here."

Zhang An sighed.

The emperor personally arranged the marriage, and the one she married was a Sui princess.

Then the princess is naturally the main wife, and Li Xiuning of the Li family can only be the side wife.

"Okay, let's go back."

Li Yuan said impatiently.

But seeing Zhang An's unwilling look, he still gave this guy some benefits.

After all, the Li family did learn the news quickly, and giving them some benefits might be useful in the future.

"Thank you Tang Gong."

Zhang An finally left with satisfaction.

After Zhang An left, Li Yuan quickly summoned Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng to come.

"Father, why is the summoning so urgent?"

After the two brothers Li Shimin arrived, they asked curiously.

Li Yuan didn't show off, and immediately told all the news.

"This"

The two brothers were shocked and speechless for a moment.

Invisibly, Yang Zhao had a lot more chips.

"Now this Yang Zhao is not simple. I am thinking about it, should I think it over carefully?"

Li Yuan asked.

"Father, let's take a look at the situation. After all, Yang Zhao climbed too fast."

Li Shimin thought for a moment and said.

Li Jiancheng originally wanted to support the Li family in favor of Yang Zhao, but after hearing Li Shimin's words, he felt that it made sense, and then gave up the idea.

"Right."

Li Yuan nodded.

"But don't neglect Yang Zhao during this period. Promise him more benefits. It's best to talk about his marriage to Xiuning."

Li Yuan ordered.

"promise."

Li Shimin replied.

After all, Li Shimin has always been responsible for this matter.

After the instructions were given, Li Yuan left with peace of mind, and Li Shimin also started to do what Li Yuan ordered.

On the other side, the Eastern Capital of Luoyang, Ziwei Palace.

The regular court meeting is also the first court meeting after the celebration banquet.

Therefore, all civil and military personnel participated in a good state of mind.

"Sir, see Your Majesty."

When Yang Guang walked out of the side passage, all the civil and military officials shouted in unison.

"Exemption."

Yang Guang replied lightly.

Immediately, his eyes fell on Wen Wu below.

Yang Zhao was in the ranks of generals, ahead of Lai Hu'er, Yu Zhongwen and others.

After all, Yang Zhao was the Marquis of Zhaowu, and he was the general of the Eastern Expedition during the war, so his status was naturally higher than that of Lai Hu'er and others.

"Can Gao Yuan be beheaded?"

Yang Guang asked.

"Your Majesty, we are going to ask for execution at noon today, there is still some time left."

Wei Xuan, the Minister of Punishment, replied.

"Okay, give him more good food."

Yang Guang ordered.

"promise."

Wei Xuan took the order.

"Immediately inform the world and officially list Goguryeo as Goryeo County."

Yang Guang continued.

"promise."

Pei Ju responded.

This is considered an edict and will be issued quickly.

It can be regarded as a formal announcement to the world that the expedition has been successful and Goguryeo has been wiped out.
