Chapter 3009 Just because of the bumper harvest, it took 600 miles to rush?
After all, the Tang Dynasty always regarded itself as the supreme kingdom of heaven and a state of etiquette, and was proud of it.
Even if you are attacking Goguryeo, you still need to put yourself in the perspective of a messenger of justice, first tell the world, and list the crimes of Goguryeo.
Goguryeo was asked to take the initiative to plead guilty and submit to the law, but Goguryeo did not comply and continued to engage in all kinds of sexual harassment.
In order to protect the face of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty carefully and repeatedly studied and discussed, and used force to teach the opponent a lesson when it was impossible to do so.
It can be said that the wars launched by the Tang Dynasty were not said to be initiated by the Tang Dynasty, but were forced to launch counterattacks.
It's just that those small countries with big butts couldn't withstand the gentle pinch of the Tang Dynasty's fingers. If they accidentally destroyed their country, they couldn't blame the Tang Dynasty.

After all, it is like a giant who is harassed too much by annoying mosquitoes. If he pinches it with his fingers, he will die. What else can he do?
The emperor of the Tang Dynasty personally conquered Goguryeo, which definitely attracted the attention of the world. After all, there were famous historical events such as the three conquests of Goguryeo in the Sui Dynasty before him, so Li Shimin was naturally unwilling to follow the facts.
The leader of the Goguryeo Kingdom is so stupid. Yeon Gaesomun is the great leader of Goguryeo. He needs to take charge of the situation before the leader of the country is stupid and a new king is established.
Therefore, they could only wait until a new king was elected and ascended the throne before asking for surrender from the Tang Dynasty. The procedure was quite perfect.
As the ruler of the Celestial Kingdom and the Emperor of the Land of Ceremonies, His Majesty Li Shimin really cannot refuse in person.
In the end, the envoy was sent elsewhere to rest for a while, and Li Shimin returned to the hall and looked at each other with a group of important civil and military officials.
All the civil and military ministers and the important military officials were rolling their eyes, as if they loved someone.
As famous generals of the Tang Dynasty who were prolific in killing people, if you asked them to chop people, whether it was mincing fine meat or golden cartilage, they would definitely be able to achieve the perfect result for you.
Whether they can be asked to exercise their wits about procedural justice or political correctness can only depend on the abilities of those civil servants who spend their days burrowing in old papers and quoting scriptures crookedly.
But the problem is that nowadays, those civil servants are also very troubled. After all, everyone knows this matter very well. Directly instigating those rough guys to push it over is the easiest and fastest way to solve the problem.
At this time, a civil servant with a very flexible mind couldn't help but whisper something.
"If I had known this, I shouldn't have let the Goguryeo envoy come to see you just now."
"What should I do now? If I ignore it and continue to conquer, I always feel a little..."
"Goguryeo is about to surrender, but the problem is that their king has died, so we can only wait until they can establish a new king.
After such a delay, even if Goguryeo and the Tang Dynasty were to repeat the severe winter, there would be nothing they could do."
"Oh, a dilemma, a dilemma..."
Li Shimin stroked his long beard, and his ears were filled with the whispers of the ministers, which gave him a headache.
But he still had no good ideas. After talking for a long time, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty decided to let these important civil and military officials give him some good ideas.
"My dear fellows, what should you do next? Do you have any good advice..."
When His Majesty opened his mouth like this, the people who had been talking about it all closed their mouths in a wise manner.
If you have an idea, speak up. If you don't have an idea, don't push yourself. Otherwise, you will be despised if you make a bad idea.
Li Shimin waited for several breaths and saw that no one came forward. He was really unhappy.
"Ma Qing's family, in your opinion, what should we do?"
"..." Facing His Majesty's inquiry, Ma Zhou's face showed a hint of bitterness, and he was about to speak.
Then I heard a piercing shout coming from outside the hall.
"Your Majesty, urgent report from Liaodong Prefecture, urgent report from Liaodong Prefecture six hundred miles away..."
"???" All the monarchs and ministers turned their heads in the direction of the hall door.
At this moment, I saw a general and a soldier, supporting a staggering messenger, arriving not far from the hall door.
Li Shimin's face suddenly darkened, and he reported urgently from Six Hundred Miles. This was only second to Eight Hundred Miles in the method of delivering news.
It is not allowed to be used unless it is a major emergency. Liaodong Prefecture is where my beloved son-in-law Cheng Sanlang is.
Could it be that some earth-shattering change had occurred there that made this beloved son-in-law with extraordinary skills and both civil and military skills have no choice but to seek help from him?
"Is it possible that someone is causing trouble again?" Such a thought suddenly flashed through Li Shimin's mind.
"Let them come in quickly. Maybe something happened to my beloved son-in-law."
And Ma Zhouzheng, who turned around so hard that his neck hurt, grinned and rubbed his neck, and his heart was beating.
Li Jing's heart sank. Could it be that those hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war were acting like monsters?
Just when the king and his ministers were in confusion, the messenger who stumbled into the hall with someone's help fell to the ground.
"Your Majesty, it is a great joy that the crops from the Yin and Shang Continent planted in Liaodong Prefecture have had a bumper harvest this year!"
"..."
#####
A gust of howling autumn wind blew in from outside the house, making all the people who were stunned for a long time shivered in silence.
"Is this guy crazy?!" Yu Chigong looked confused and raised his shoulder to Qin Qiong next to him.
Qin Qiong shook her head in confusion. "Is there something wrong with this kid?"
The civil servant over there, who was also shocked by this guy, complained unhappily.
"A good harvest is just a good harvest. It's not a big deal. Look at how excited he is..."
"That's right, just because of the good harvest, we actually traveled six hundred miles to rush. Then what does Cheng Sanlang think of himself?"
"This is unreasonable. This is simply chaos. If everyone is like him, Cheng Sanlang, our Tang Dynasty's post horses will all die of exhaustion on the official road before they encounter any major problems."
The exhausted messenger ignored those strange looks, because he knew very well that the good news he brought was definitely a big deal.
After taking a few breaths and calming down, he took out Governor Cheng's victory letter from his arms and presented it with both hands.
Zhao Kun, who had regained consciousness on the side, strode to the other party and clearly saw the familiar childlike handwriting in the letter reporting victory.
After picking it up, he turned around and walked to Li Shimin, who was full of doubts.
"Your Majesty, this is Cheng Sanlang's personal letter..."
Li Shimin looked at the messenger who looked at him eagerly and opened the letter.
After taking out the letter paper and scanning only the first line of words, Li Shimin's eyes immediately turned fierce, his face darkened, and his heart became filled with evil.
"This little bastard!"
His Majesty's voice was blurted out subconsciously. Although he deliberately lowered his voice, it was still heard by several nearby ministers.
Many people's expressions became strange. The person who could be addressed by His Majesty in such an affectionate tone was probably Cheng Sanlang's beloved son-in-law.
Why, before, you were always open-mouthed and a virtuous son-in-law, but now, in the blink of an eye, you turned against him. His Majesty turned against you faster than you could flip a book, tsk tsk...
