Chapter 350: Surrender?
Gao Zang walked outside with his people, and the guards in the palace did not dare to stop him. When they reached the door, the three brothers from Quan Boys came out.
"I have seen the king." The three brothers saluted Gao Zang together.
"The three dear ministers don't have to be too polite. Today I am alone in the palace. I heard that Quan Nanjian, you brought your soldiers into the palace. I am alone, come and see, but what happened?" Gao Zang asked.
"It's nothing, it's because I'm rude. I'm just my father, and my father never sees me these days. I'm worried about my father's health, so I did this in a hurry. I hope the king will forgive me for his crime." Quan Nanjian bowed and said.
"So that's it. Da Mo Lizhi's health is fine? It's been more than a month, and even Gu has never seen Da Mo Lizhi. Today, Gu is here, and Gu is planning to visit Da Mo Lizhi. After all, Da Mo Lizhi is also working hard for state affairs, so he is exhausted and sick. "Gao Zang said with a smile, and then he is about to walk into the hall.
"Your Majesty." Seeing that Gao Zang was about to walk into the hall, the boy from Quan hurriedly reached out to stop him.
"Bold!" In response to such a rude action, the eunuch beside Gao Zhao jumped out and shouted loudly, which really scared the boy Quan.
"What? Is it possible that I can't enter this palace?" Gao Zang asked with his eyebrows raised.
"No, no." The boy from Quan waved his hands repeatedly: "It's just that his father just fell asleep..."
"Do you think that going in alone will disturb Damolizhi?" Gao Zang said unhappily.
"That's not what I mean."
"At present, brother, there is nothing to stop." Quan Nanjian said, "Please please."
Gao Zang glanced at Quan Nanjian and then at Quan Boy, snorted coldly, and walked into the palace with the eunuch.
"Prince, for the sake of stability in the court, I have concealed the news that my father was seriously ill. In fact, a month and a half ago, my father was seriously ill and was already unconscious. Now I am just breathing a sigh of relief. Maybe one day..." Quan Nanjian said: "A month and a half ago, if the news of my father's unconsciousness spread, the entire court and the country would be in turmoil. The Tang army was tense outside and the soldiers were aiming directly at Pyongyang City. If our country was in chaos, it would give the Tang Dynasty a chance..."
"Well..." Gao Zang nodded: "This is right, but now that the situation is like this, it doesn't make any sense to hide the news about Da Mo Lizhi. It's better to quickly pass on the doctor to treat Da Mo Lizhi."
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Quan Gai Suwen is no longer able to do it. Even Hua Tuo is alive, he cannot save Quan Gai Suwen's journey. The current Quan Gai Suwen is no longer the same as a dead person except for the faint breath between his nostrils.
"Tomorrow morning, summon the court officials in the main hall and announce the news. Now that the war situation is so deteriorating, we can't drag it down anymore. We always have to come up with a solution." Gao Zang said.
"Yes." The three brothers could only respond and put them on them, and they didn't know what to do next.
Quangai Suwen can no longer dominate the court, and Gao Zang finally looks like a king.
The next morning, in the main hall of the Imperial Palace in Pyongyang City, Gao Zang sat upright on the throne, while the seat of the Sun-Cun Gassum is still empty. The man who was so majestic in the court is now lying on the bed, not far from his death.
"I have summoned you today. I have news. I have to tell you that today's court meetings are also related to the life and death of Goguryeo. I want to hear your opinions." Gao Zang said.
It is rare that the one who spoke to Chaohui was not Quan Gaisuwen.
"Please speak, please."
Gao Zang's words also made the people below feel bad. Something happened to Gai Suwen in this lunar calendar.
"The Tang Dynasty attacked Goguryeo, and Damolizhi worked hard for state affairs. He was seriously ill and died of illness. Now he was in a coma and unconscious in the side hall. Liu Boying, the general of the Tang Dynasty naval commander, led 50,000 naval commanders from the south and went north to Liaodong. He is now stationed in Changkou City. The current situation, what should I do in Goguryeo? Please speak freely." Gao Zang said.
In terms of the navy, Goguryeo and Baekje were fighting against Silla on the sea, while the troops on Baekje were having fun in Silla, regardless of whether they were concerned about the rampage of Su Ding in Goguryeo, and Goguryeo did not dare to let Baekje enter Goguryeo's territory.
The local army of Goguryeo, facing the elite of the Tang Dynasty, was beaten to the point of no fight back. Daxing City in the north gradually eroded Pyongyang City. In another half a month, Xue Rengui and Xuan Shijing led their troops to the Pyongyang City. How to deal with it?
"this......."
The ministers in the hall looked at each other, and they knew that the situation of the battle was not good for Goguryeo, but they always thought that there was a lunar Gai Suwen standing in front, and even if they were defeated, they would not be unlucky. Now, lunar Gai Suwen is unconscious. Now, the sky is falling and the tall man is lying down. What should we do?
Previously, these people were resentful about Quan Gai Suwen’s arrogance and domineering power, but when it was really critical, they placed all their hopes on Quan Gai Suwen. Quan Gai Suwen fell down and lost his backbone. This time they were really panicked and even more resentful Quan Gai Suwen, why did they fall down at this time...
"King, now the land in the north is occupied by the Tang army, and there are peerless generals such as Su Dingfang in the south. Originally, Su Dingfang led his troops, and the principle is that he was in the local area. He fought in Goguryeo, and it was difficult to provide logistics supply. As long as Su Dingfang cut off Su Dingfang's supplies, he could defeat Su Dingfang. However, now the Tang army's naval general Liu Boying led 50,000 naval troops to station in Changkou. Su Dingfang no longer had any worries. I dared to say, "King, if you send envoys to Tang to submit a surrender form as soon as possible, Goguryeo can still maintain a great land. If you drag it down, I dare not say what the future of Goguryeo will be."
"What the Qing family means to surrender to the Tang Dynasty?" Gao Zang asked.
“That’s right.”
Hearing his response, Gao Zang fell into deep thought. Obviously, although surrendering is embarrassing, it can at least protect the country, keep the land from being changed, and keep the throne of the Gao family.
"What about the others? Do you agree?" Gao Zang's eyes glanced at everyone.
Everyone whispered in the hall and started discussing.
The three brothers of the Quan family also stood together and discussed whether this matter was feasible. However, after discussing, they found that there were no generals in Goguryeo who could be sent out to fight against the Tang army.
Therefore, it seems inevitable to send envoys to submit a letter to make peace. At worst, it is impossible to spend some money and send it to Chang'an and the Emperor of Tang to buy peace, which is much better than losing one's life.
"I'm going to discuss it." After discussion, it was rare that the court reached an agreement on the opinions.
