Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 397 Next time! Say no well

At this moment, Chen Qingsi didn't know what harm this design would bring to Goguryeo. She was just wondering if there were skilled craftsmen in Baekje who could use the Dongzhu in their hands to make two pieces of jewelry.

Li Hongqing also saw Chen Qingsi take an Dongzhu, a look of expectation flashed on his face, but also a little uneasy.

"That pearl should be given to Madam Xiao!"

Li Hongqing had some mixed feelings.

After getting along with each other these days, she also understood her own feelings, and could also feel that Chen Qingsi treated her differently.

only……

Li Hongqing felt panicked every time he thought that his sweetheart had already started a family.

Although she is different from a boudoir woman, she is still a woman of this era and a daughter of the Li family.

How can I be a concubine for others?
Chen Qingsi also has her own thoughts on this.

This era was strictly monogamous and polyconcubine, but there were exceptions to everything.

Especially in the open-minded Tang Dynasty, although the court explicitly prohibited remarrying a wife, there was still a practice of merging children.

The government also adopted a tacit attitude, not because they did not want to investigate, but because they dared to do so openly. Most of them had a certain status and were high-ranking dignitaries, not simple gentry and common people.

This is not an unconscionable thing. As long as you are willing to do it, most officials will turn a blind eye.

When encountering some ridiculous emperors, like Li Longji later, he was generous and gave Wang Maozhong's two wives respectively as the wives of the state. Every time they came to the court to pay homage, the two wives shared the gifts.

Li Zhi is probably not as ridiculous as Li Longji, but he doesn't want to pursue anything further.

After all, his own ass is not clean. How can a man who married his father's concubine into his family, supported her to become a queen, pampered her concubine and destroyed his wife to the extreme, can be blamed in this regard?
In Chen Qingsi's view, the only problem lies with Li Hongqing's father, Li Derjian.

It's not easy to convince him.

As for Xiao Miaochen and Li Hongqing, Chen Qingsi is still certain.

A few days later, Chen Qingsi received the news that Yeon Gae Suwen had suffered a stroke and was paralyzed.

The news came to Silla, and the person who conveyed the news was Liu Rengui.

In order to make Yi Yiyan more convincing, Liu Ingui personally sat in Silla and acted as if he was urging the king of Silla to strictly control smuggling.

Liu Rengui said with great joy: "The governor's plan was originally to use interests to drive a wedge between Goguryeo and the Khitan, Hui, Mohe and other tribes. However, unexpectedly, it unexpectedly made Yuan Gaisuwen so angry that he was paralyzed in bed. , The mouth cannot speak, the body cannot move, if the dead person is fine.”

Chen Qingsi was also unexpected and asked one more question: "Is the news true?"

Liu Rengui: "It was Silla's spies in Goguryeo who personally compiled the book and reported the news."

Chen Qingsi nodded and said: "In this case, it can't be false."

Chen Qingsi received no news at all.

After all, they are new here. They destroyed Baekje not long ago. They haven't even officially returned to Baekje. They can't speak the local dialect. Naturally, they don't have enough time to go to Goguryeo to install an informant who can go deep into the situation. All peripheral arrangements cannot get this kind of confidential and breaking news.

But Silla can.

The Three Kingdoms of Haidong have been entangled in grievances for hundreds of years. They all have their own sources of information in each other's countries, and they are all the type who lurk deeply.

When Chen Qingsi heard that the news came from Silla spies lurking inside Goguryeo, he immediately judged that the source was reliable.

Liu Rengui said with some excitement: "Grand Governor, Yeon Gaesumun has a very high prestige in Goguryeo. If he falls, Goguryeo will be in chaos. The day of taking over Goguryeo is not far away."

Chen Qingsi did not answer immediately, but closed his eyes and thought for a while and said: "There is no rush, you have to wait. Attacking now will give Goguryeo a chance to survive. The more critical the moment, the more calm you must be." gas."

Chen Qingsi thought for a moment and said: "Let people spread the situation about Yeon Gaesumun first, so that everyone in Goguryeo knows. Let's see the direction of the wind first..."

Liu Rengui admired Chen Qingsi's strategic vision and determination, so he immediately asked someone to make arrangements without saying much.

Before the people arranged by Liu Rengui took action, rumors were already spreading throughout Goguryeo.

They were all talking about Yeon Gaeso Moon. Some said Yeon Gaeso Moon died of illness, some said he died of anger, some said he had a stroke, and some said he was taken away by heaven because he was too violent...

In short, there are any opinions.

Da Mo Li Zhi Mansion.

Said to be a palace, this place is more like a fortress, and it stands next to the royal palace of Goguryeo.

Mr. Yuan stood on the attic of the palace, looking at the palace not far away. His originally elegant and easy-going face showed a bit of fortitude.

With his father's death, the uncrowned prince of Goguryeo took on all the burdens.

In just a few days, Boy Yuan almost transformed into another person.

"Molizhi! According to your instructions, the situation of Damolizhi has been publicized. Soon, the whole Goguryeo and even the surrounding areas will be affected by the situation of Damolizhi."

The Prime Minister of Goguryeo, Daelu Eulji Chungmu appeared behind Yeon-san.

Yeon Gae Suwen only suffered a stroke and did not die of illness, so Yuan Gaesumun is now acting as Moli's supporter.

Mr. Yuan turned around and saluted, saying, "Thank you for your hard work in the big house."

Eulji Chungmu said: "For Goguryeo, I will die without regrets."

Boy Yuan also said: "Death without regrets."

He did not say Goguryeo. He was born the son of a powerful minister, so he did not have a strong sense of belonging to Goguryeo.

But everything in Goguryeo is his father's lifelong effort.

In order to protect his father's hard work, he is also willing to give his life.

The news that Yeon Gae So-moon had suffered a stroke resounded like thunder in all directions.

Yeon Gaesomun has received mixed reviews. He was a ruthless warlord who brutally killed kings and ruled Goguryeo with iron-blooded tactics. On the other hand, he was also a hero of Goguryeo. In times of crisis, he withstood the attack of Emperor Zhenguan. The overwhelming offensive saved Goguryeo, and he was a hero who saved the country.

No matter which side he was in, Yeon Gaesomun was undeniably the number one figure in Goguryeo.

An Optimus Prime supporting Goguryeo.

Something unexpected happened to him, enough to make anyone raise eyebrows.

Expensive water!
Xue Rengui, a general of the Tang Dynasty, was sitting on a stone by the river carrying Fang Tian's painted halberd and a big horse with a golden sword.

In front of him was a sneaky Goguryeo man.

The Goguryeo people were looking at the brave and decisive white-robed general in front of them in horror. Their eyes fell on the huge silver halberd. Unconsciously, their calves couldn't help trembling. Unable to control themselves, they knelt on the ground.

He thought of a person, a white-robed Shura who was popular in Goguryeo...

The white-robed Shura has the invincible courage. His bow and arrows are the call of the God of Death, no one can escape. His halberd is the cause and effect of the God of Death. No one can survive a round under his halberd.

Countless Goguryeo people died under his halberd.

Once, the other party chased a sea turtle and left the personal guard, and happened to meet their centurion.

Then he single-handedly killed about 20 people from the Centurion. The reason why those 20 people survived was simply because they ran fast.

Most of the more than 20 people who survived the incident became insane and became lunatics... Xue Rengui was so murderous that the Goguryeo people were frightened as if they had seen an evil ghost.

Xue Rengui said: "You are so sneaky, what information are you bringing?"

Xue Rengui continued to harass the territory of Goguryeo as usual, and went deeper today. When he was about to go back, he ran into the person in front of him. Years of experience allowed him to judge that the person was no ordinary passerby. After capturing him, he received a letter from the other party's clothes.

However, they did not know the Goguryeo language and did not know what the letter said. They wanted to take it back for interrogation, but found that the person who came could speak Chinese, so they decided to interrogate him on the spot.

The Goguryeo people didn't dare to hide it and said, "It's a letter to Laisa in the north. I don't know what the letter says."

Laisa is an official position in Goguryeo, equivalent to the local military commander. Northern Laisa is naturally the commander-in-chief of the northern military region.

Xue Rengui heard that the other party's accent sounded familiar and asked, "Are you from Hedong, Hezhong? I heard that your accent has a strong Hezhong accent?"

The Goguryeo people knelt down and said, "My ancestors are from Hedong. In order to escape the Wuhu Rebellion a hundred years ago, our ancestors followed the refugees and fled to Liaodong, where they were taken in by Goguryeo. Our ancestors said that if the Central Plains were unified, they would go home. Let us Don’t forget the words and words of your hometown.”

Xue Rengui knew the tragedy of the time when the aliens brought trouble to the northern frontier, and said with emotion: "Ling's ancestors were loyal people, and I am also from Hedong. Longmen County in Jiangzhou is not far from Hezhong. Now that the Central Plains has been unified for many years, its reputation is booming. "

"By the way, what's your name?"

"The Chinese name is Deng Pu."

Xue Rengui said: "How about you be my guide and I will take you back to Hedong?"

Deng Pu hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "I am willing to listen to General Xue's orders."

Xue Rengui immediately asked someone to hand the opened letter to Deng Pu and let him read it and translate it.

The content of the letter is exactly about Yeon Gaesowon's physical condition.

Xue Rengui's eyes were shining. The only person in Goguryeo who could be worried about was Yeon Gaesumun.

Now that he has suffered a stroke and cannot manage, doesn't that mean he can attack in general?
Although Xue Rengui had been acting unscrupulously in the Liaodong area these days, he had accumulated a lot of achievements and gained a lot of prestige, but in the end he had not contributed to the destruction of the country.

It's embarrassing to tell anyone!
Xue Rengui immediately brought the situation of Goguryeo back to Yingzhou.

When Cheng Mingzhen got the news, he was immediately excited.

Cheng Mingzhen is already old and has reached the age of officialdom. He has been holding on and wants to make a contribution to the destruction of the country at the last moment.

When Yeon Gaesumun fell, wasn't Goguryeo crushed by mud?

Cheng Mingzhen was a prudent person and did not immediately ask Li Zhi to attack Goguryeo. Instead, he mobilized his contacts to confirm the situation.

After receiving the exact news, Cheng Mingzhen compiled a book and took advantage of the turmoil in Goguryeo to send troops to destroy it.

Cheng Mingzhen's superiors were transferred to the prime minister through the Ministry of War, and then sent to the imperial court by the prime minister.

Looking at Cheng Mingzhen's appearance, Li Zhi, who was originally a little depressed, had a glint of hope in his eyes.

Li Zhi had already decided to enshrine the throne. He was just choosing an auspicious day and wanted all the chiefs and kings from all over the world to attend.

He wanted to hold an unprecedented ceremony for the Zen ceremony, and his father's regrets would be included in it.

However, Goguryeo was not at peace, but it was a regret for their father and son for two generations.

It would be best if he could be granted Zen status after the destruction of Goguryeo.

But Li Zhi didn't dare to wait, he was afraid of waiting, just like his father, who didn't even have time for Feng Chan.

Now there is a problem within Goguryeo, and Chen Qingsi actually conspired to "remove" Yeon Gaesumun...

Doesn't that mean that he is expected to receive news of the destruction of Goguryeo before the ceremony of enthronement?

The more Li Zhi thought about it, the more excited he became.

Since we have decided to hold an unprecedented ceremony, it will naturally take a lot of time.

It is very possible to mobilize troops at this moment.

Li Zhi was about to summon the prime ministers to discuss the matter, but he was stunned before he could speak.

He picked up Cheng Mingzhen's memorial and read about the cause of Yuan Gaisu Wenqi's stroke.

"It was Chen Qing's trap!"

Since it was Chen Qing who set up the trap, there is no reason why Chen Qing should not know about this.

No news came from him.

Is it because it's far away and it hasn't been delivered yet?

Or does he feel it's not the time to attack?
Li Zhi thought carefully for a moment, hesitated for a moment, gave up the idea of ​​summoning the prime minister, and wrote a handwritten letter asking whether it was the time to attack. He even hinted in the handwritten letter that if the time came, he would be the commander-in-chief.

Having someone deliver the handwriting, Li Zhi felt a little empty in his heart, and really hoped that Chen Qingsi's answer would be as he wished.

After being stunned for a moment, Li Zhi just focused on the government affairs at hand.

Because of Empress Wu's help, all simple and common memorials were handled by her. Li Zhi himself only made decisions on major matters and quickly settled the matter.

Just as I was thinking about going out for a walk, the chamberlain suddenly came nearby and whispered: "Mrs. Korea is here."

Li Zhi was startled at first, and wanted to refuse the meeting, but something went wrong and he said, "Lead the way!"

As soon as he said this, he regretted it.

Li Zhi is a bit conservative about matters related to men and women. When he was young, he wanted to establish a character. When he grew up, he became a ninety-five-year-old man. He also started to maintain health due to his health. He was not keen on matters between men and women.

In normal times, one is to vent, and the other is to carry on the family lineage, and most of them are done hastily.

In addition, several women in his life, whether it is Queen Wang or Concubine Xiao Shu, are ladies from aristocratic families, and they entered the palace at a young age. They do not have much experience in bed, and their limited knowledge comes from the little yellow book.

Even Empress Wu was not favored when she entered the palace at the age of fourteen.

Li Shimin was favored only a handful of times, and it was no different from being relegated to the cold palace.

Korean Mrs. Wu Soon is different, she is much heard among the people.

People with various styles and various methods gave Li Zhi some insight into his taste, and he indulged in rare indulgences several times.

I thought I should restrain myself, but my words turned out to be wrong.

"Next time! Say no properly."

Li Zhi said in his heart.

At the same time, a palace maid came to Empress Wu who was reviewing the memorial and whispered softly: "Mrs. Korea has entered the palace again."

After hearing these harsh words, Empress Wu couldn't help but tremble in her hand holding the red pen, her chest heaving, filled with grievances, restlessness, and anger...

They are all the dearest people...

My dearest brother, he has been scolded and abused since he was a child.

Her sister actually stole her man to sleep with her...
