Tang's dining table

The appearance of King Gaozang in Daxing City seems to be a coincidence. If you look at the whole thing in detail, you will find the inevitability.

When Yeon Gae So-moon was chased and beaten all the way by Young Gong and others, troops had to be constantly mobilized from Pyongyang City to Liaodong to help him. As Pyongyang's military power was continuously weakened, the breath of defeat was hard to come by. Avoidance permeated the city of Pyongyang.

In this situation, King Kozag, who has always behaved like a waste, will naturally be ignored.

However, no matter how useless King Kozang is, he cannot ignore the fact that he is still a member of the Goguryeo royal family.

He knew that if Yeon Gaesumun defeated the Tang army this time, his reputation would be at its peak, and even if he killed him and became the king of Goguryeo, there would be no problem.

If Yuengaisuwen was defeated by the Tang army, then Yuengaisuwen would never allow him, King Gozo, to continue to live before dying in battle.

In short, in this great change, no matter whether Goguryeo wins or loses, King Kozang is dead.

If you want to survive, you have to flee!

Poor King Kozag was trapped in the palace and knew nothing about external matters. When he left Pyongyang City surrounded by royals who were as ignorant as him, he thought that the savages in the wilderness would respectfully obey him as the king. And willing to give everything for his use.

King Kozo felt that he had the ability to reorganize the imperial court and establish a new Goguryeo.

Therefore, after escaping from Pyongyang, on the one hand, he gave Li Ji his determination to be united with the Tang army and hope to eradicate the treacherous Yongai Suwen. He felt that in this way, he would have an ally.

On the other hand, he was unwilling to surrender to the Tang army and go to Chang'an to dance for Li Zhi, so he sneaked all the way and avoided the Tang army that had not yet completed the encirclement.

He planned to go to the wilderness where the Goguryeo government had no control and the Tang army had no control, to gather the refugees, recreate a great Goguryeo, and implement his plan of revitalization.

As a result, the wild people thought that they were just a group of bandits and started to beat them. A big king brought some trash royals but could not beat the wild people. They could only be chased and beaten by other wild people. They fled all the way and were embarrassed along the way. When they left the city, there were still three people. There were more than a hundred people, but after they were captured by the last group of savages and robbed and ravaged, only about thirty people were left.

However, Yunchu also admired Gao Zangwang's ability. Even a horse-drawn sledge team led by a strong general like Zhong Kui had to cover a long distance of eleven days. Gao Zangwang led a group of men and women and only took ten days. We arrived at Dahang City.

The standard of treating Kozao and his entourage gently was very high.

Someone was sent to clean the place where they lived and all the furnishings were replaced with new ones.

Clothes were made of silk for them, especially the clothes of King Gaozang and his beloved concubine who were tortured. They were made of the best silk that could be found in Daxing City.

Wen Wen even went to the fur warehouse to find a fur coat made of the lightest and warmest Liaodong snow fox fur. The price of such a snow fox fur coat in Chang'an exceeded 50 guan.

Apart from the fact that the crown cannot be obtained and needs to be specially made by the imperial court's young supervisor, the entire set of jewelry for the concubine has basically been completed.

The cook came from the big cafeteria cook in the team of delinquents, which basically allowed Kozao to enjoy high-end service that was never tired of fine food and meticulous attention to detail.

Yun Chu and Zhong Kui never understood why Rou Wen was so concerned about this matter.

Until Yun Chu discovered that Wen Wen was holding the newly made clothes for King Gaozang and the side princess to try on. The joy in her eyes was the same as that of a little girl who had just given her doll a new set of clothes. There is light in the eyes.

However, the little girl’s doll princess and prince are human dolls, and those being gently manipulated are two living kings and queens.

This is a bad taste.

It is a bad taste that most people in the Tang Dynasty have in their hearts. The originator of this bad taste is Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, in Chang'an, if you encounter a blond and blue-eyed person carrying a spear and guarding a certain royal property, he may be a khan or a prince of a certain tribe.

If you feel that a certain singer or dancer looks good in Pingkangfang, ask around and you might be able to find out that you are being served by a certain princess or a princess.

As for foreign nobles, it is not surprising to work as a groom in Chang'an. (From "Taiping Guangji")

This is a very strange sentiment. Judging from the gentle expression, the people of Chang'an still enjoy bullying the nobles of other countries.

Pyongyang was finally captured by Li Ji. Xue Rengui, Pei Xingjian, Guo Daifeng and other sixteen armies fought in the city for six days before the fighting completely subsided. I have to admit that the Silla people are not easy to kill.

After the Tang army withdrew from Pyongyang City, this famous city was in such a dilapidated state that its original appearance could no longer be seen.

After breaking Pyongyang, Li Ji obtained 60,000 Goguryeo slaves.

According to Gowen, there are nearly 300,000 people in Pyongyang.

Yeon Gae So-moon's hometown is not in Pyongyang, but in Chang'an, which is less than thirty miles away from Pyongyang.

That's right, Goguryeo also had a Chang'an City. The former Goguryeo Chang'an City was Pyongyang City. Later, after Yeon Gaesomun killed the original King of Goguryeo and hundreds of officials, he built it thirty miles away from Pyongyang City. A new city was officially named Chang'an City.

The Yeongae Somun family lives here.

During the Battle of Pyongyang, Yeon Gaesumun was seriously injured. Under the escort of his two sons Yuon Nanjian and Yuan Nanchan, he desperately fought his way back to Chang'an City from Guo Daifeng, who was passive and idle in fighting.

Just when everyone was waiting to see Yinggong Li Ji cut off Guo Daifeng's head and hang it on the flagpole, Yinggong, who was originally merciless to his subordinates who made mistakes, actually laughed off Guo Daifeng's big mistake.

If Pyongyang is gone, Goguryeo will also perish.

Three days after the confrontation between Chang'an City and the Tang army, Yuan Nanchan killed his father Yuan Gaisuwen and his second brother Yuan Nanjian. He held a relative's head in one hand and walked away step by step on a clear morning. Entered Li Ji's Chinese army tent.

At this point, Goguryeo's last resistance force also disappeared.

Li Ji looked at the ritual utensils in the Goguryeo ancestral temple placed outside the Chinese army's tent, with his hands in his sleeves and a smile, like a kind and kind old man.

Standing next to him, Liu Chunlai, a regular servant of Sanqi, who had always maintained the air of a civil servant, had a distorted face, like an evil ghost.

He stretched out his hand and tapped a bronze bell with his knuckles. Naturally, the bronze bell made no sound.

"It seems that only the emperor can knock this thing. I am not of sufficient status and cannot knock it."

Liu Chunlai, who was missing an arm, said viciously: "After destroying Silla, I am willing to use a human head to ring the Silla ritual vessel to praise the British Duke."

Li Ji smiled and said: "When I was discussing the great cause of the Eastern Expedition with His Majesty in Qujiang Palace, Silla was not an option in all the plans."

Liu Chunlai said: "The reason why your majesty ordered me to go to Silla is to see if the king of Silla is respectful to us in the Tang Dynasty. If he is respectful enough, let Jin Chunqiu's second son Jin Renwen succeed him as the king of Lelang County and the king of Silla." .

He ordered Prince Jin Famin of Silla to go to Chang'an and take up the post of Minister of Taichang Temple.

Jin Yuxin was appointed as General Zuo Qianniu of the Tang Dynasty.

Then, the state of Silla can continue. "

Li Ji looked at Liu Chunlai's broken arm with interest and said, "It seems that they didn't listen to what the Sanqi Changshi said?"

Liu Chunlai looked at his broken left arm and gritted his teeth and said: "Jin Renwen didn't want to be the king of Silla, so he cut off the right arm of the lower official, and took my own arm to ask for his favor from his brother.

Jin Renwen lived in the Tang Dynasty for seventeen years, and he thought he had regarded the Tang Dynasty as his motherland. Who would have thought that we had raised this wolf for seventeen years, and in the end, we were bitten by him. "

Li Ji sighed and said: "So, the army will continue to go south to take the head of Prince Jin Renwen of Silla?"

Liu Chunlai said viciously: "Only by destroying his country, destroying his ancestral temple, and exterminating his descendants can the hatred in my heart be relieved."

Li Ji shook his head and said: "How can you be busy with military and national affairs for mere personal grievances? Don't say that you just broke an arm. Even if you were quartered by five horses, without His Majesty's order, the army would not use a single soldier for you."

Liu Chunlai took out a document from his arms and handed it to Li Ji and said: "With this document, Ying Gong can move."

Li Ji took it and took a look at it, handed it to Pang Tongshan beside him and said, "Verify the seal."

Pang Tongshan immediately took the documents and entered the Chinese army's tent.

Li Ji smiled and said: "Jin Renwen only cut off one of your arms and did not kill you. It was his fault."

Liu Chunlai said: "If you kill me on the spot, I am afraid that the army of the British Duke will have already entered Silla by this time, right?"

Li Ji looked at Liu Chunlai gloomily and said, "But you never die."

Liu Chunlai said: "Don't blame me, this is not what I want to do. According to my personal thoughts, if I provoke the Silla people to kill me, and then let me go to the army to destroy Silla, I am willing to do this. In this way, It is a great thing for me to leave my name in history.

In fact, after I entered Silla, I was arrogant and domineering along the way. I took advantage of everything and was arrogant and extravagant.

Unexpectedly, the people of Silla could endure it. As a last resort, when I was preparing to sell the corpses of a thousand Hwarang disciples at a high price, public outrage arose.

Jin Renwen fell out with me when he saw that the turmoil among the nobles of Silla had reached an uncontrollable level.

I thought that I was going to die for the country at that moment, but unexpectedly, that Jin Yuxin came back in a hurry, returned all my servants and the treasures he had collected in Silla, and sent troops to bring me here.

Before leaving, he also said to me: There was too much bloodshed and too many casualties in Liaodong. If the two countries can be as close as one family as before, Silla is willing to continue to be a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty and will increase its tribute tenfold. "

When Li Ji saw Pang Tongshan nodding to indicate that the document had been confirmed, he said to Liu Chunlai: "Your trip to Silla is actually to find death."

Liu Chunlai smiled and said: "Your Majesty has been kind to Liu Chunlai for five years. If Liu Chunlai dies in Silla and is useful, he can use his life to repay Your Majesty."

After finishing speaking, he turned to look at his empty sleeve and continued: "This is actually just right."

Gao Kan sneered on the side: "It turns out that some civil servants are not afraid of death."

Liu Chunlai looked at Gao Kan and said, "I'm afraid that if the warrior dies, he will be useless to the country."

Chapter 1: Over the past two days, I have been feeling sore all over, lethargic, and still unable to wake up. It seems that the low point has come. If I don’t talk about this, you can read it first, and I will continue.
