I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 532: The King of Goryeo

today.

The Tang Emperor's angel came to Goguryeo on the day of his enthronement.

Li Chengfang didn't dare to disobey and could only wait obediently.

At this time.

All I heard was the sound of horse hooves.

A group of one hundred cavalrymen wearing the armor of the Tang Dynasty Yulin Army quickly arrived in front of the royal city.

The first person.

It was really Liu Lin, deputy commander of the Yulin Army.

When we arrived in front of the royal city.

Liu Lin jumped off the horse, holding a golden imperial edict in his hand.

"We respectfully welcome the imperial edict of His Majesty the Emperor of the Celestial Empire."

Li Chengfang immediately stepped forward and knelt down with great respect and humility.

Watch his movements.

Hundreds of Goguryeo officials and thousands of soldiers also knelt down.

In this dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty was the undisputed Celestial Empire. Goguryeo was just a tiny country and was like an ant in front of the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, although Goguryeo still exists in name, it will no longer exist in the near future.

The Tang Dynasty will gradually annex Goguryeo.

They are powerless to change anything.

"The imperial edict has arrived."

Liu Lin stepped forward and said loudly.

echoed.

Hou Junji was an official of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel.

The Tang soldiers around all knelt on one knee and said, "Your Highness, we respectfully listen to your command."

"It is destined to be carried by heaven, the emperor decreed."

"Goguryeo was a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. At the beginning of the first year of Jianwu, Goguryeo was in civil strife. Li Chenglong, the eldest prince of Goguryeo, took advantage of the fact that the King of Goguryeo was seriously ill and rebelled, intending to usurp power."

"The Second Prince, Li Chengfang, begged the Tang Dynasty to send troops to bring justice."

"The Emperor of the Great Tang Dynasty knows the greater good and has sent troops to Goguryeo in the name of the Celestial Empire."

"now."

"Goguryeo has been settled."

"When the King of Goryeo died, Li Chenglong, who had committed treason, was imprisoned and committed suicide out of fear of punishment."

"For the peace of all the people of Goguryeo."

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Tang issued an imperial decree to confer the title."

"Appoint Li Chengfang as the new King of Goryeo and put him in charge of Goguryeo."

"Appreciate this."

Liu Lin held the imperial edict and read it aloud.

"Your servant, Li Chengfang, thanks His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty for his great grace."

Li Chengfang bowed with great fear.

in my heart.

He was even more terrified.

From this imperial edict, he understood one thing.

His father and his eldest brother are both dead.

Although the imperial edict only gave a vague explanation, Li Chengfang understood it immediately.

Liu Lin walked slowly to Li Chengfang and placed the imperial edict in front of the piece of paper in Li Chengfang's hand.

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty said so."

"As long as the King of Goryeo governs Goguryeo well and obeys the will of the Great Tang Dynasty."

"Your Majesty will never treat the King of Goryeo unfairly."

"One day, the King of Goryeo will also get more." Liu Lin said meaningfully.

Li Chengfang felt uneasy and immediately replied, "I understand."

"King of Goryeo, please stand up." Liu Lin nodded.

Li Chengfang stood up slowly.

As he stood up, all the others who were kneeling also stood up.

At this time.

Hou Junji walked slowly in front of Liu Lin and smiled: "Does the emperor have any other instructions?"

"The emperor said that this time, the Goguryeo rebellion was quelled, and Duke Lu and the generals have made great contributions and will be rewarded." Liu Lin said with a smile.

A wave of his hand.

Several Yulin soldiers behind him pulled three boxes over.

"This one is for Duke Lu, and the other two are for Generals Zhang Liang and He Rong." "The Emperor said so."

"Goguryeo has just been conquered, and it still needs to be defended."

"So Duke Lu needs to stay here for a while, and once everything is settled, he can return to the court to report on his duties."

"These are the training resources bestowed by the emperor to the three generals." Liu Lin said.

Hou Junji took a glance at the large brocade box and could tell at a glance that there were at least a dozen bottles of pills inside.

"Tell the emperor on behalf of Hou Junji that Hou Junji will never let him down."

Hou Junji said immediately.

"Except for these."

"The Emperor also asked me to bring fifty jars of undiluted bone-refining wine, which will also be of great help to my cultivation."

"Except."

"There are still a hundred carts of military supplies behind to reward the soldiers, with enough wine and meat." Liu Lin said with a smile.

"Your Majesty's move this time is really huge."

"Hou Junji thanks the emperor for his grace on behalf of all the soldiers."

Hou Junji said excitedly.

"The emperor said that this is what all the soldiers deserve." Liu Lin smiled and said.

Subsequently.

Li Lin turned around and looked at the Goguryeo people who were watching curiously around him.

"The people of Goguryeo."

"I am an angel sent by His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

"Today I came to Goguryeo, in addition to being ordered by the Emperor to enthrone the King of Goryeo."

"He also brought an edict from the Emperor of Heaven to bless the people of Goguryeo." Liu Lin said loudly.

Hear about yourself.

Many Goguryeo people couldn't help but look at Liu Lin with curiosity.

"According to the investigation of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

"Goguryeo, the taxes are harsh and high."

"Moreover, the land was annexed by the rich and powerful. Ordinary civilians who wanted to grow crops had to pay high land rents."

"This matter deeply worries His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Tang."

"Five years ago, tens of millions of people in the Tang Dynasty were just like the people of Goguryeo. Their land was annexed by the powerful and wealthy, and the people had no land of their own to farm. The people had to pay high rents for farming, and they could not survive at all."

"But now, under the national policy of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, everyone has land to farm, and the national strength of the Tang Dynasty has become even stronger."

Liu Lin said loudly.

Liu Lin said loudly.

There was also a burning look in the eyes of the countless Goguryeo people who were watching.

As foreign nations influenced by the Tang Dynasty, their situation was naturally the same as that of the Tang Dynasty, with their land being taken over by the powerful and wealthy.

This was not just the case with Goguryeo; it was the same with all the surrounding foreign states.

When they heard that the people in the Tang Dynasty had land to farm, they all became excited.

And heard Liu Lin's words.

Ordinary Goguryeo people showed their expectations.

But the officials of Goguryeo, even Li Chengfang, were filled with anxiety at this moment.

"today."

"Since our Tang Dynasty helped the King of Goryeo to suppress the rebellion, we are now qualified to help the people of Goguryeo live a good life."

"In compliance with the order of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

"Today, Goguryeo is just like our Tang Dynasty, giving farmland to the common people for cultivation."

"All the fields of Goguryeo were taken over by the Goguryeo state, and the taxes were used as rent, and the fields were leased for cultivation."

"All the people of Goguryeo, based on household registration and population, can be granted land for cultivation."

"This is the imperial edict of His Majesty the Emperor." Liu Lin announced loudly.

Hear this.

This comes from the decree of His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven.

All the Goguryeo people watching around were excited.

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven."

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven."

Countless shouting voices echoed throughout the royal city.

Li Chengfang and many Goguryeo officials turned pale.

Datang.

They are already starting to take action on the fields they own.

but.

They seemed to have no power to resist.
