Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 402 Trouble Begins with Xiao Qiang
The capital of Goguryeo, Pyongyang.

Yuannan handles various national policies with ease.

Yeon Gaesomun trained Yeonboy as the next generation. Yeonboy was exposed to state affairs very early. Now he has reached a high position and can handle all affairs with ease.

"Da Mo Li Zhi, eldest brother and Da Mo Da ask to see you together."

"Quick, invite them in."

Boy Yuan put down the official document in his hand and stepped forward to greet him with a smile.

Both the eldest brother and damododa hold official positions in Goguryeo. The eldest brother is equivalent to the minister, and damododa is the general of Wei, which is a very important position.

After Yuan Nan succeeded to the throne of Da Molizhi, he gave these two seats to his second brother Yuan Nanjian and his third brother Yuan Nanchan respectively.

Seeing his two younger brothers enter, Mr. Yuan greeted them enthusiastically and said: "Second brother, third brother, hurry up and sit down quickly. I am busy with state affairs recently and have neglected you. It is my brother's fault. Now. When you have free time, you and I, brothers, let’s have a good chat.”

Boy Yuan's biggest weakness is his benevolent temperament, especially towards his two younger brothers. He believes that an eldest brother is like a father. Now that his father has passed away, it is natural for him, the eldest brother, to take care of his two younger brothers in his father's stead.

This tone is somewhat intimate, but also somewhat elder-like.

Yuan Nanchan couldn't see this the most, so he didn't say anything.

Yuan Nan built his own city and said: "Now is a time of crisis. My brother is a great leader, so he naturally puts national affairs first."

Yeon-san said: "That's why my father handed over Goguryeo to my brother. I don't want to see Goguryeo destroyed by my hands. I only hate that my brother's talents are limited and not enough to be respected by everyone. I still need the help of my second and third brothers." That’s right. Now that Goguryeo is facing internal and external troubles, you and I should work together to protect our Yuan family.”

Yuan Nanchan sneered in his heart: "The family property is for you, not me."

Yuan Nan said: "This is how it should be."

Yeon-nam said: "I decided to inspect the five divisions and see the five divisions. Pyongyang will be handed over to your brothers."

Yuan Nanjian's words made Yuan Nanjian and Yuan Nanzi stand stunned on the spot, and for a moment they didn't know how to answer.

Boy Yuan thought that the two younger brothers were a little timid, so he smiled and encouraged, saying: "Second and third brothers, don't worry. The source of internal troubles in Pyongyang has been eliminated by my father. Now the officials and people in the city have decided to just follow the steps. If anything happens, If you have a hard time deciding, you can discuss it with the Grand Duolu..."

Yuan Nanjian couldn't believe his ears for a while. He always felt that this was a trap. He couldn't help but think to himself: "Is it possible that my boss saw through my desire to rebel and seize power, and he used this to test me?"

He was a little panicked in his heart, but he said calmly: "Brother, why are you acting in such a hurry?"

Boy Yuan sighed and did not hide anything, saying: "The domestic political turmoil and the death of his father, Tang Ting and Silla took advantage of the situation. They frequently contacted the Five Laisas with the intention of dividing our Yuan family and the Five Laisas." The matter is very serious and I have to make a trip."

Yuan Nanjian also frowned. Although he was not convinced that Yuan Nan had the intention to rebel, he also knew that without Wubu Lisa, even if he seized power, he would still be close to death. He hurriedly asked: "Wubu Lisa" Sa already has objections?"

Boy Yuan shook his head and said: "The five tribes of Laisa have been at war with Tang Ting and Baekje all year round. Their hatred is deep-rooted and they will not be easily moved by some interests. It's just that... they trust their father and are somewhat observant of their brother. Now again Being solicited by Silla and the Tang Dynasty, even if he was not tempted, he would inevitably raise his own status. If Wei Xiong showed no sign of this, he would not be far away from Xin Li De but in order to stabilize them, Wei Xiong could only patrol. The fifth department personally appeases us and provides us with appropriate benefits to prevent them from being influenced by external interests. "

"So that's it!" Yuan Nanjian looked enlightened, his eyes flashed with joy and greed, and he said angrily: "These people are really hateful. In this critical time, they add insult to injury and make me angry!"

Yuan Nan said: "It is indeed hateful, but there is still a place for them at the moment, and they need to be comforted. It is the best to be so knowledgeable. If you really have two minds, let them know for the sake of brother, their Li Sa This position was given to me by the Yuan family, and I can take it back at any time."

Yuan Nanjian laughed and said: "Of course it is."

He paused and said, "Brother, when do you plan to leave?"

"Three days later!" Mr. Yuan said without any doubt: "Explain the matter clearly and leave immediately. This matter cannot be delayed. If Lasa really cannot resist the temptation, it will be an immeasurable loss to Goguryeo."

Yuon Namjian said immediately: "Brother, don't worry and go. All matters in Pyongyang can be left to me and my third brother."

Yuan Nan said: "With the second and third brothers here, I feel relieved as a brother."

What he said was taken for granted...

On the third day of Yeon-nam's inspection tour to the north, Yeon-nam Gun and Yeon-nam Chan launched another coup. They immediately started to seize power and forced the six-year-old King of Goguryeo to issue an arrest warrant and a nationwide arrest warrant for the eldest brother. : Intention to defect to Datang.

At the same time, he rewarded the five tribes with heavy gifts and asked them to kill the traitors.

When the news reached the Baekje Governor's Office in Ungjin, Chen Qingsi shook his head and sighed when he heard Yuon Nam-gun's accusations against him. Power really captivates the eyes.

"What's the situation? Yuan Nanjian shouldn't let Yuan Nanjian force him to death, right?"

Chen Qingsi asked Liu Rengui.

Liu Rengui: "Yuan Nanjian is indeed somewhat capable. He persuaded Western Laisa and Northern Laisa, and also made a contract with some Mohe tribes to form a resistance team with the intention of regaining power. As for Yuan Nanjian, They control the central army of Goguryeo, and they also lured the three tribes of Lasa, and with the help of the King of Goguryeo, they attacked Yuon Nam, and a war between the two sides was imminent. "

Chen Qingsi was not surprised by this. Mr. Yuan was not a person who could talk on paper.

He had been on the battlefield. In the fifth year of Xianqing's reign, Li Zhi sent Qibi Heli, Su Dingfang, and Liu Boying to attack Goguryeo. Su Dingfang and Liu Boying both achieved small victories, but in the end they were unable to defeat the city and retreated. However, Qibi Heli encountered a boy from Yuan in Yalu Water, and the latter stayed close to the water, which made Qibi Heli suffer a lot, which is evident from this.

Chen Qingsi said: "Yon Nam-san has led the western and northern regions, so it is reasonable to get their help. In terms of ability, Yuon-nam is better, but Yuon Nam-jian and Yuon-nam-san occupy Pyongyang, and the Taedong River To the north, the core area of ​​Goguryeo is far superior to them. If they fight each other, it will not be over for a while. After they finish, Goguryeo will no longer be able to resist our Tang Dynasty soldiers. "

Liu Rengui still found it unbelievable and said: "With such a powerful enemy on their side, how dare they start civil strife at this time?"

Chen Qingsi said: "One is being blinded by power, and the other is being smart. Some people think that they are the most special and that they are the real savior. But in fact, this kind of people are the stupidest, but also the most common."

Liu Rengui was speechless.

Chen Qingsi was wandering in the world, it was time to go back.
