Chapter 409 The Emperor of the Sui Dynasty Wants to Watch My Koguryo Snipe and Clam Fight
Chapter 409
Seeing Yang Guang's playful look, Yuan Taizuo suddenly woke up.
He looked at the former leader Gao Yuan in disbelief, sitting on the bench with an indifferent expression, but his eyes were like needles piercing him.
Yuan Taizuo took a deep breath and saluted Gao Yuanshen with great respect.
"I pay homage to His Majesty the Supreme King."
"Hahaha..." Yang Guang was stunned at first, and then burst into laughter. All the officials of the Sui Dynasty in the political hall also chuckled.
Gao Yuan's solemn expression turned pale instantly, his eyes were burning, and he stared at Yuan Taizuo.
It wasn't until the laughter in the hall gradually died down that Gao Yuan turned pale and tried hard to control his anger.
He pointed at Yuan Taezuo, who held a high position in Goguryeo.
"I have never issued an edict to abdicate, nor have I issued an edict to abdicate my brother Gao Jianwu.
I really want to know, who gave him the courage? To make him dare to disregard my will and establish himself as the king of the country?!"
"Could it be you, Yuan Qing?"
Cold sweat broke out on Yuan Taizuo's forehead, and he always felt like a poisonous snake struggling to its death.
Or maybe it was the lone wolf who was driven out of the alley.
"I am a minister of Goguryeo. As a minister, how can I dare to comment on this matter? Please ask the Supreme King to investigate clearly."
Gao Yuan sneered again and again, but his heart was getting colder and colder. It was really cold to the bone.
I never expected that less than a month would pass in the blink of an eye.
Yuan Taezuo, who had always been closest to him and relied on as his right-hand man, would become the first Goguryeo official to betray him.
The king's younger brother, Gao Jianwu, was a young man in his early twenties. In the court, his connections and prestige were not comparable to that of Gao Jian, who had already died in battle.
How could he become the leader of Goguryeo without the support of a powerful minister like Yuan Taejo?
Apart from Yeon Taejo, the only person in Goguryeo who could have such power and prestige was Eulji Mundeok.
Now Eulji Wende is also a prisoner of the same rank as himself. If it weren't for you Yuan Taizuo, unless I was a fool.
Yang Guang looked happily at Gao Yuan, who had an ugly face and was speechless for a long time.
Take another look at the Goguryeo minister Yeon Taejo, who is dripping with cold sweat and soaking his shoulders. I feel so comfortable that I can't describe it in words.

"Yuan Taizuo, please step aside first." Yang Guang raised the corner of his mouth slightly and waved his hand.
Yuan Taizuo hurriedly bowed to Yang Guang. "Your Majesty, I think that the leader of our country is sincere, so please consider my Goguryeo wishes..."
"I told you to step aside first. We will discuss this matter later." Yang Guang raised his thick eyebrows and shouted dissatisfied.
Yuan Taizuo could only retreat sadly, but the corner of his eye fell on Gao Yuan, who had a gloomy face and remained silent for a long time.
Yu Shiji cleared his throat and stepped out from the crowd.
"Your Majesty, this matter is really troublesome. I really didn't expect that Goguryeo would be like this.
The whereabouts of the leader of my country are clear, but instead of thinking about the safety of the country, I do this to add insult to injury."
"I really despise you."
Yang Guang also nodded with deep understanding and his eyes fell on Gao Yuan.
"Gao Qing, Gao Qing?"
"Your Majesty is here."
"Gao Qing, you have seen it yourself. I don't know what your Goguryeo wants. Should I discuss it with your new Goguryeo ruler or with you?"
"I hope you will think carefully about it yourself."

Yuan Taizuo exited the political hall and walked toward several subordinate officials waiting outside.
"Yuandong Dong, why do you look so bad? Is it possible that the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty is still dissatisfied?"
"Do you know that just now, the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty summoned His Majesty the Supreme King?"
"I really didn't expect that Emperor Sui's move was really vicious..."
"Isn't His Majesty the Supreme King already a prisoner of his subordinates? This, what exactly is this..."
"Can't you detect it yet? This must be the emperor of the Sui Dynasty who wants to watch the snipe and clam fight in Goguryeo."
"Yuan Dongdong, what should we do?"
"Why are you panicking?" Yuan Taizuo glanced at these people and smiled coldly. "Don't visit me anymore. Your Majesty has been enthroned as the head of the country."
"You have become the Supreme King, so you can only be the Supreme King. Your status cannot be changed, even if we welcome back the Supreme King."
"Also, I will personally edit a letter later, and you will immediately send someone to Yalushui to tell the king of the country and let him make arrangements in advance."
"Perhaps the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty will use some despicable means to persuade the Supreme King to do something that is not beneficial to Goguryeo."
"Oh... what a troubled time it has been." Yuan Taizuo frowned, his heart in a mess.
Gao Jianwu was young, and Eulji Mundeok, whose power and prestige was similar to his own, fell into the hands of the Sui people. The leader of the country, Gao Yuan, also became a prisoner.
This was the reason why Yuan Taizuo decided to make Gao Jianwu the new leader. In this way, Gao Jianwu, the new leader with little foundation, would naturally be very honest.
And he finally had the opportunity to become the most powerful minister in Goguryeo.
But who would have expected that Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty would act so irrationally.
#####
Three days later, Yang Guang held a grand celebration banquet. At the banquet, Gao Yuan, one of the leaders of Goguryeo, was one of the characters.
He led a group of surrendered ministers and expressed their surrender and submission to His Majesty the Sui Emperor.
Yang Guang was very satisfied and decided to hand over all the hundreds of thousands of Goguryeo prisoners of war captured to Gao Yuan, along with those who had surrendered.
Furthermore, an edict was issued to confer Gao Yuan as the Lord of Goguryeo and bestow upon him the royal seal of Goguryeo and other things.
As for Na Yuan Taizuo, his face was so shocked that he could hardly watch this scene happening in front of his eyes.
However, he did not have any chance to speak. After he watched this scene, Yuan Taizuo was kicked out of the palace of the Sui Emperor.
Moreover, Yu Shiji, a close minister of the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, told Yuan Taizuo responsibly.
His Majesty the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty does not recognize Gao Jianwu as the leader of Goguryeo. Please tell Gao Jianwu and abdicate immediately.
Otherwise, we, the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, may be in a bad mood one day and come over to communicate with you in depth.
Such an action caused one Buddha to appear in the world and two Buddhas to ascend to heaven.
If it weren't for the concern that this was the territory of the Sui army, I would have wanted to pick up a knife and chop this high-ranking Sui official into mincemeat with his words that made the Three Corpse Gods jump.
In the following days, Yang Guang forced the Goguryeo envoy Yuan Taizuo and his party to be placed under house arrest nearby.
It was not until the Sui Dynasty that Gao Yuan and others returned all the surrendered ministers and prisoners of war, and Gao Yuan and others took over Liaodong City and all the Goguryeo cities near the west bank of the Yalu River.
Then Yuan Taizuo was released, and in order to prevent Gao Yuan, the supreme king, from killing Yuan Taizuo, a powerful official, in a fit of anger.
Therefore, Yuan Taizuo and other members of the mission were very considerately sent to the Liaohe Pier and boarded the ships of the Huai Navy of the Sui River.
After leaving Liaodong, they were sent directly to the east bank of the Yalu River.
Such an outrageous operation finally forced Yang Qian, who was under house arrest in Li Yuan's mansion, to raise his thumbs and shout "666."
