Since the Yeongaesomun rebellion killed King Yeongliu and a group of close ministers, and supported the King of Treasures to become a puppet, the Daemoliji Mansion has actually replaced the imperial court and become the place where government orders come from. Any order issued by the Daemoliji Mansion will
No one in the government or the public disobeyed.
In the past, the Goguryeo Palace, which ruled the three Koreas, could only exist as a nominal supreme rule.
However, as the power and power of Yeon Gaesumun continued to expand, it seemed that this last name could not escape the fate of falling. The country was cut off and the dynasty changed, probably within a few years.
However, the Tang Army's Eastern Expedition suddenly halted this seemingly unstoppable change of power...
…
Gao Baobao was sitting in his palace. He was just over thirty years old, but his face was already wrinkled, especially the two decrees were carved like knives, looking like he was suffering from great hatred.
Hope is mean and forbearing, and difficult to get close to.
In front of him were the eldest son Gao Nanfu and the second son Gao Renwu.
The tall boy was only eighteen years old. He was handsome and handsome, but his body was as thin as a hemp pole. A brocade robe was dangling from his body, and he looked pale and sickly.
Gao Renwu Ze was not at all as sickly and weak as his brother. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, a round waist, and a very heroic look between his brows.
At this moment, he looked at his father, Gao Baobao, and said, "Father, if Yuan Zei and Changsun Chong have decided to get married, will this lead to a relationship with the Tang Dynasty?"
Gao Nanfu coughed twice, took a sip of tea to suppress it, and then said slowly: "Second brother, I don't know. Changsun Chong is a treasonous person. He was sentenced to death by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. He is just an exile."
He has not been brought to justice outside, so he is still alive today. Even if the Yuan thief marries his daughter to Changsun Chong, he can only have connections with the Changsun family, but it will be difficult to get involved with the Tang Dynasty court."
Gao Renwu frowned and said in confusion: "The Changsun Wuji is the most important figure in Zhenguan, and the Changsun family is a famous family in Guanlong, and it has great power in Chang'an for a while. How is it different for the Yuan thieves to marry the Changsun family, and to the Tang Dynasty?
"
Goguryeo did not understand the political struggle above the Chang'an court.
Gao Nanfu glanced at his father, and when he saw Gao Baobao drinking tea and not saying anything, he patiently explained: "Although my father was created by Yuan thieves, he was the legitimate King of Goguryeo who was granted the title of King of Goguryeo by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
It must be regarded as orthodox by the Tang Dynasty. Even if Goguryeo is destroyed in the future, the Tang Dynasty will recognize the identity of the father. Otherwise, it will be the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty who slaps himself in the face. The throne conferred by the Golden Book will also be wiped out by the Tang Dynasty himself. This is very important to the Tang Dynasty.
It was a big blow to the prestige of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, when the Tang Dynasty launched its army, one of the reasons for the Eastern Expedition was to eliminate the traitors. And this traitor would only bring disaster to the country and the people, and Yuan Gaesumun, who monopolized power. Therefore, even in the future,
If Goguryeo falls, the Tang Dynasty will definitely treat our royal family well. Even if we go to the extreme, we will move to the Tang Dynasty and we will not be able to return to our hometown of Goguryeo. Our lives will be absolutely safe."
Gao Baobao glanced at his eldest son with great satisfaction. He was able to explain the chaotic situation in front of him so clearly and could even see the way out. He was indeed somewhat talented in helping the world.
Immediately his eyes dimmed again. This son is the best at everything and is even smarter than his father. However, it is a pity that his body has been weak since he was a child. He has been sick all the time. He is afraid that he will not die soon. How many years he can live is still unknown.
.
God is jealous of talents...
What can we do if destiny is like this? We can only sigh endlessly.
Feeling deeply in his heart, he said warmly to his two sons: "The Yuan bandits are tyrannical and violent, killing people like hemp. If the Tang army had not invaded the territory, I am afraid that both our father and son would have died soon. The country would be cut off and the bloodline would be lost. This is the destiny of the royal family of Goguryeo."
! However, now the Tang army is invading in a large scale, marching straight into uninhabited territory, the Yuan bandits are already on pins and needles. Once the Tang army captures Pingrang City, our father and son will probably be fine, but the Yuan bandits will undoubtedly die! At this moment, the troops are approaching the city, in order to stabilize the situation
We tried our best to fight against the Tang army, but the Yuan thieves did not dare to kill my father and my son... In the end, we have to rely on the Tang Dynasty to save my father and my son's lives."
Gao Renwu Dao: "Why don't you send someone to explain the situation clearly to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty? We have only occupied a throne. If we take the initiative, we will definitely dedicate the city to welcome the king's army. We cannot wait until the Tang army breaks through Ping Rang in the future.
When we get to the city, why don’t you go and plead for life?”
The entire Goguryeo royal family, facing the large-scale invasion of the Tang army, not only did not panic at all, but everyone was in high spirits.
If the Tang army did not come, as soon as Yuan Gaisuwen's power was stabilized, he would definitely commit rebellion. During the change of dynasties, all of them would be slaughtered as sacrifices to the new dynasty.
As long as the Tang army conquers Pingrang City, the Tang Dynasty will need someone to help them govern Goguryeo and stabilize the situation, right? Although they no longer have the status of a royal family, the real benefits are not necessarily less. What's more, it is inevitable that some of them will sell their ancestors for glory.
As a result, he will gain the trust and respect of the Tang Dynasty, and it may not be impossible to soar into the sky...
Gao Nanfu shook his head and said: "Although the Tang army is strong, they can't save the near fire because of the distant water. The Yuan bandits are ferocious and cruel. If they can't defend Pingrang City, they will probably be destroyed and the entire royal family will be buried with him. So it is important now.
In addition to finding ways to contact the Tang army, we must also have the ability to protect ourselves. At a critical moment, we will not be dragged to death by Yuan thieves."
Gao Renwu was startled and wanted to say that if Yeon Gaesumun was bound to die, why would he drag the entire royal family to be buried with him? But when he opened his mouth, he found that that was indeed Yeongaesumon's character. What he couldn't get, then...
It will definitely be destroyed. At that time, not only the Goguryeo royal family, but also all the people of Pingrang City will be buried with him...
That man is like an animal, and cannot be reasoned with at all.
Gao Baobao looked at his eldest son, who had beautiful features and beautiful features. While admiring him, he felt even sadder in his heart. Why did such a smart and intelligent person suffer from illness and die soon?
The expression on his face became more and more bitter and hateful...
Seeing that his father and younger brother were speechless for a while, Gao Nanfu sighed in his heart and said: "We can send someone to find Changsun Chong and test it out to see if this person still loves the Tang Dynasty, or even still has a relationship with the Tang Dynasty."
connect."
Gao Renwu glared and said: "The Yuan thief just married his woman to Changsun Chong. That guy is a sinner in the Tang Dynasty. This time he must be heartbroken and surrendered to the Yuan thief. How can we trust him? If he will marry us.
If you inform the Yuan thief of your plans, you will die without a burial place!"
Gao Nanfu didn't answer, but looked at Gao Baobao and asked, "What do you think, father?"
Gao Baobao shook his head, swaying the tea cup in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "No. Let alone whether Changsun Chong has contact with the Tang Dynasty, even if he sincerely surrenders to Yuan Thief, how can Yuan Thief be willing to trust him easily?"
The thief is not only cruel and domineering, but also cunning and suspicious. We will definitely not trust Changsun Chong. If we put our hope in Changsun Chong, we might fall into the trap of the Yuan thief. He wants to murder us now, but he
We are afraid of arousing the resistance of the domestic people and affecting the overall situation of resisting powerful enemies, but if we give him the handle of 'colluding with foreign enemies', we will definitely not see the sun tomorrow."
No one understands Yeon Gaesumun's cruelty, violence and cunningness better than him.
It was Yeon Gaesumun who helped him to the throne of the King of Goguryeo with one hand, but at the same time he broke his wings and imprisoned him in this seemingly magnificent palace, restrained everywhere and unable to move.
What kind of person is Yeongae Somunna?
Even his own son didn't believe it. He killed more than one brother and two brothers. How could he believe a Han who came to rely on him?
It seems that the more trust one has in Changsun Chong, the more guarded he must be secretly, and it is not necessarily true that he even wants to plot against Changsun Chong to achieve the purpose of severely damaging the Tang army.
Not to mention that his youngest daughter was only eight years old and could not get married to his eldest grandson Chong. Even if they did get married, how would Yeon Gaesumun care about a mere son-in-law?
At a critical moment, he would kill his own daughter without even raising an eyebrow...
So he told his two sons: "Survival is our first priority. Power is just idle. If you lose your life, how can you have power? But when contacting Datang, you must be careful and you must not be overshadowed by Yuan."
Su Wen notices it, otherwise we will all die if we don't care about this beast's ferocious nature!"
Thinking back to the time when his uncle, King Yeongliu, noticed that Yeon Gaesumun was powerful and had evil intentions, he wanted to trick him into entering the palace and get rid of him. However, Yeon Gaesumun found out about his secret plan, and he sent troops to kill him in the palace.
King Rongliu and the ministers of the court were all killed, and their heads were filled with blood. Gao Baobao couldn't help but tremble.
The Goguryeo royal family, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, has reached its end. If you are not careful, your bloodline will be cut off...
