Chapter 102 Honglu Temple is lying again
Everything was difficult at the beginning. Gao Yuqi was heartbroken when she stepped out of the Honglu Temple to go to the Wei Palace. Now that the dust settled, she remembered that the Goguryeo royal family could be at peace. Before the Gao family and the Tang Dynasty had a change, Gai Suwen would have no idea about the flesh on the felt board of King Rongliu.
After the elite troops of the Tang Dynasty entered Pyongyang, the king could use the name of Dayi and the support of the Tang army to take back the great politics step by step until the Quan family was eliminated.
As for the relationship between the Quan family and the Tang Dynasty after it was eliminated, we can only take one step at a time. No matter how bad it is, it is better than letting the powerful ministers dismember themselves!
As soon as he thought of this, Gao Yuqi's only shame disappeared. Under the witness of the monarchs and ministers in the Tang Dynasty, when Li Daozong, the Minister of Rites, presented the two countries' alliance with the seal of the imperial seal of the Tang Dynasty, he picked up the alliance and scanned four clauses word by word.
The first two pieces, together with Sumo, compensated 100 Haidongqing, 2,000 sheets of sable fur, claimed 30% of the Sumo, and Goguryeo.
Article 3: Goguryeo is open to the border between the two countries for 50 miles without defense. In this area, whether Goguryeo or the Tang Dynasty, the two sides are not allowed to deploy any form of military force under any name.
Article 4: At the request of Goguryeo, the Tang Dynasty sent 30,000 elite soldiers to settle in Pyongyang.
The Tang army retained all command powers for these 30,000 troops. Correspondingly, the Tang army must be responsible for the expenses of food, grass and weapons.
As the garrison of the Shang Kingdom, the Tang Dynasty guaranteed that the army was strict during its time in Pyongyang and that it would not disturb the people and would not launch any military operations unless it was requested by the Lord of Goguryeo.
However, once the situation in Goguryeo changes, if any force or minister threatens the personal safety of the royal family members and the situation is urgent, the royal family cannot contact the outside world, the Tang army can launch a strike against the force.
The term of garrison is limited to five years. If the Gao family regained control of the Qiankun of Goguryeo after five years, the Tang army would unconditionally withdraw from Pyongyang and return to the Tang Dynasty.
During the five years of the Goguryeo General's nuclear subsidy, the Tang army responded to military weapons, food, and military pay.
...
Article 4 stipulates that are most detailed and "fair", but the terms do not expressly target any third party, just like later generations, you see that the Xitai and my younger brother were jointly exercising, and issued a statement that they will not target any third country.
Gao Yuqi stared at the covenant in a daze and his hands trembled slightly. The so-called weak country had no diplomacy and could not help... but so!
Even though the psychological construction has been completed, Gao Yuqi is still thinking about it at this moment.
I will use my merits and demerits for thousands of years to save Gao. I will drink poison to quench thirst for a while, but I don’t know whether it is a disaster or a blessing to Goguryeo.
Seeing that the dealer was about to come, Li Tai said dissatisfiedly: "Brother Gao, after passing this village, there will be no such temple.
When we ask around the world, we have to pay for helping the vassal states to suppress rebellion and maintain national affairs. In addition to our Tang Dynasty, we have a second one?
You Gao family is fortunate to be neighbors with me. If it were Turks or Tubo, haha, these barbarians would not talk about the morality of the sect leader. What are the Gao family and Quan family? They would have already drawn a knife to stew you in a pot!"
Yes, although the Tang Dynasty "reached a helping hand" to the Gao family this time was indisputable, and it was essentially no different from the robbers of Tubo, Turks, and Xueyantuo, at least in the face of taking advantage of the new business, the Tang Dynasty was still much worse than the three companies, and at least they would care about face and morality.
It is finally a blessing in disguise to meet Datang, a robber who makes a little sense.
Gao Yuqi's eyes were slightly dimmed and then smiled bitterly, then she grew a breath and became firm again. Without hesitation, she picked up her pen and dipped it in thick ink and signed the name.
Then he took the golden seal of the envoy presented by the follower and put it on the bright red seal of the Goguryeo Kingdom!
Signing and stamping, in just a few breaths, Gao Yuqi seemed to have exhausted all her strength, her face turned pale and almost unstable to hold the golden seal. The follower quickly took the golden seal and supported the lord.
Before the follower, a pair of big hands supported the shaking Gao Yuqi first.
Li Tai helped Gao Yuqi to leave after stabilizing his entourage. He shouted: "Seal falls, alliance is formed!
Father, my ministers, let us cheer for the friendship between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo!
Long live your Majesty!
The Tang Dynasty won the best!”
"Long live your Majesty!
The Tang Dynasty won the best!”
"Long live your Majesty!
The Tang Dynasty won the best!”
...
The monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty witnessed this historic moment together. Under the leadership of Li Tai, Hanyuan Palace suddenly burst into a trembling cheer, shouting long live the emperor. The sounds of the victory of the Tang Dynasty were rising one after another, and the voices of praise for Li Tai's magical martial arts were endless.
After a while of celebration, the king and his subjects were in a slight retreat, and Li Shimin announced a banquet for the ministers!
This time, the Gao Alliance Covenant of Tang was not prominent among some of the glorious victories in the Zhenguan year, but its content was unprecedentedly groundbreaking. It pointed out a new direction for the Tang Dynasty to deal with foreign races in the future.
Officials under the fifth rank can be given an imperial banquet, which is a beautiful thing that even if you dream of marrying a wife.
In shock, dozens of green and red robes and ministers all thanked each other, pushing the festive atmosphere to climax again.
Taking advantage of the enthusiasm of the big guy, Li Tai said, "Father, today's covenant can be completed, Goguryeo's official mission has made a lot of contributions, and the deputy envoy Quan Wensheng's achievements are not inferior. How can you not invite this man during the banquet?"
Li Shimin was stunned and then smiled and said, "Yes, Quan Wensheng is worthy of being the pillar of the Quan family's sky-raising. The alliance between the two countries is also a great hero!
Our Tang Dynasty has always valued courtesy, and I must give him three titles of imperial wine today.
Gao Yuqi, this person is so hardworking and making great contributions. In my opinion, he doesn’t have to go back to Goguryeo. How about letting him live in Chang'an for ten or eight years and let the Tang Dynasty have a good friendship with landlords?"
This is to sentence Quan Wensheng to ten years of house arrest, one to warn Quan, and the other to block the message from him and return to Goguryeo.
There are too many things to prepare for the elite Tang army to enter Pyongyang. Because Quan's controls the major politics, the Goguryeo royal family was unable to provide the 30,000 troops of the army's arms, food, and supplies.
This elite guard sent troops with the purpose of shocking Gai Suwen. He must ensure that he can fight after landing in Goguryeo, and the supplies and food must be prepared for more than half a year!
With the luxury and cumbersome equipment of the Tang army, the logistics supplies required for 30,000 troops for half a year are not a small amount. Even with the national strength of the Tang Dynasty, the preparation time will not be less than half a month.
Since Quanshi controlled Liaodong, it was not feasible to enter Goguryeo by land, so he could only enter Dengzhou from Henan Road and go straight to Pyongyang by sea.
After everything is ready, it will take at least two months for the Tang army to enter Pyongyang. During these two months, it is necessary to ensure that the Quan family cannot get news of the alliance between the two countries.
Otherwise, once the Tang army enters Pyongyang, the Quan family's status will be fatally threatened, and the plans of the two generations of the Quan family will be in danger of wasting all their efforts.
As time goes by, it is unknown that the Quan family is unable to survive by colluding with the national strength of the Tang Dynasty.
With Gai Suwen's actions, once he gets accurate information that the Tang army will enter Pyongyang, he will definitely be anxious to kill him first.
As long as the Gao royal family is destroyed, the two countries will feel that they are hard to wipe their butts with a covenant.
Therefore, whether to ensure that the Quanshi could not receive the exact news before the army landed in Goguryeo became the key to whether this alliance could be implemented.
Gao Yuqi recovered and heard Li Shimin's words blessed to the heart: "Your Majesty's sincere love for Quan Wensheng is touching. Foreign ministers thank the Tang Dynasty for his kindness!"
Li Shimin nodded with a smile, and then ordered the eunuch to go to Honglu Temple to invite Quan Wensheng.
The major event was decided, and the monarch and ministers began to discuss the selection of the army entering Pyongyang.
Zhang Jian advocated using the Zhechong Prefecture's troops as the main force, but the reason was that the army was in other countries and capitals, and there were too many unpredictable things. If you were not careful, these 30,000 people would make dumplings, which was too great.
Li Jing and Li Ji advocated directly drawing troops from the sixteen guards, and the reasons were also very solid.
The two military gods believed that the primary task of these 30,000 troops was to protect the Goguryeo royal family. Once Pyongyang changes, these 30,000 troops will have to bear the tough battle to stay in the waiting center for flowering while ensuring the safety of the Gao family.
Such a arduous task, the soldiers of the Zhechong Mansion could not complete it at all, and the elite troops of the Sixteen Guards could not be done!
The court officials were divided into two factions and argued endlessly about this issue, and Li Shimin neither stopped nor expressed his opinions with a smile.
The civil officials were wailing at the logistics problems of the army's expedition. The Ministry of Revenue pulled Lao Li and cried poorly. They were also very bitter when they were in prison. They said that in the past two years, they had already been in a tight position in the military and armor with Xue Yantuo, and the warehouse could run away...
Hanyuan Palace became more lively than Xicheng. After a stick of incense, the eunuch ran in without having time to sing and kneeled in front of Li Shimin with a bang and stuttered, "Your Majesty, the Goguryeo Deputy Envoy Quan Wen gave birth to him... He... He is dead!"
...
Quan Wensheng... is dead?
This fantasy news shocked everyone. The noisy Hanyuan Palace instantly became like a ghost, and everyone could hear the violent heartbeat in their chest.
not good!
Li Tai and Gao Yuqi looked at each other, and this was a fucking rhythm that would be a big deal!
Li Shimin's warm old face, as gentle as spring breeze, became distorted by anger, and a rare roared: "Say it again, Quan Wensheng...he really died?"
The eunuch was sweating coldly, and he said in two battles: "Your Majesty, Quan Wensheng is really dead!
He committed suicide by drinking poisonous wine, and died of bleeding from his seven orifices. When the servant found his body cold, it was already cold. He drank poisonous wine no later than half an hour!"
Li Shimin shouted: "Honglu Temple, the deputy envoy of Goguryeo committed suicide under your nose. It took half an hour, but you were awakened nothing.
What sin should you be?!"
The Minister of the Honglu Temple was caught in a gun again and left the class in a daze and said in panic: "Report to Your Majesty, Quan Wensheng has regained his freedom a few days ago.
Given the identity of the other party's envoy, the Honglu Temple was not ordered by the court and dared not monitor the envoys of a country. Therefore, Quan Wensheng and his party did not grasp the movements and ministers in the past few days!"
"Waste! Waste! Waste!!!
A bunch of rice buckets!
All are waste snacks…”
Li Shimin's curse echoed in the Hanyuan Palace, but no one dared to unravel...
Chapter completed!
