Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Seven This is really what you sent up yourself
After learning about Gao Baqi and some basic information he brought from Tian Chou, Cao Ang quickly summoned him.
When Gao Baqi saw Cao Ang, he couldn't help but be shocked by the young heir to the Cao family's regime.
"Is such a young man who looks to be only about twenty years old really the successor to the legendary and extremely powerful empire?"
Cao Ang didn't respond much to Gao Baqi's reaction.
He went straight to the point and asked Gao Baqi: "I heard that you are the younger brother of the late King of Goguryeo and the older brother of the current King of Goguryeo. You originally had the priority to inherit, so how could you let your brother take the throne?"
Hearing this, Gao Baqi smiled bitterly and said, "I happened to not be in the palace when the king died. Gao Yanyou colluded with the palace guards to block all the roads into the palace. In the end, he took the opportunity to seize the throne."
You were careless, right?
Cao Ang didn't comment too much. He just said again: "Are you here to spend the rest of your life in peace? That's right. I, a big man, are now in the stage of rapid recovery. As long as you stay safe, there will definitely be no problem in spending the rest of your life!"
"To spend the rest of my life in peace?"
How could Gao Baqi be willing to live his life so mediocrely?!
But he has nothing now. Can he ask Cao Ang to send troops to help?
But Gao Baqi couldn't control that much. He bit his silver teeth and knelt down with a pop, kowtowed repeatedly and cried: "Your Majesty! The ministers of the small country here implore you to send troops to help me regain the throne! If I can regain my throne!"
Returning to the throne, I am willing to be loyal to the Han Dynasty and to you forever!"
Cao Ang was startled by Gao Baqi's sudden movement, but he quickly reacted, then helped Gao Baqi up and said, "What are you doing? Get up! If you have something to say, talk to me!"
Gao Baqi was helped up by Cao Ang, and he compared Gongsun Kang and Cao Ang in his heart. This is simply like a rogue horse compared with a unicorn, and a jackdaw compared with a phoenix!
After Cao Ang helped Gao Baqi up, he comforted him: "Come and give a detailed explanation of the situation in your country. I am a big man who is always willing to help the weak. If you sincerely make friends with us, the big man will not get into trouble."
No matter."
"Your Majesty." Gao Baqi's eyes turned red. He was deeply moved by Cao Ang's tolerance and magnanimity.
Wiping the tears from his eyes, Gao Baqi said as calmly as possible: "I'll tell you the truth, Your Majesty. I am the younger brother of the late King Guochuan and I have always admired Chinese studies. Logically, I should inherit the throne."
According to the order of succession, Gao Baqi is the most qualified to inherit the throne. Moreover, he has obtained the oath of allegiance from most of the officials in the court, and he feels that the throne is almost certain. Therefore, he pays more attention to his words and deeds on weekdays, but for the possible
The man who threatened his throne had let his guard down.
Gao Baqi continued:
"However, the king died suddenly that night, and Queen Yu and Gao Yanyou colluded to usurp the throne secretly, and even tried to kill me. If I hadn't been around them and got the news in advance, I would probably be dead now.
It has become a pile of bones."
Gao Baqi told his story with tears in his eyes.
Cao Ang now had a preliminary understanding of Gao Baqi and the domestic situation in Goguryeo.
"This Gao Baqi is a person who admires Han culture. He loves reading and has almost turned himself into a nerd." Cao Ang sorted out the information he just received in his mind. "Although he has been driven out of Goguryeo, because he is the first heir,
So there are still many supporters in China.”
However, Goguryeo is still a subservient little brother to the Han Dynasty, and Cao Ang cannot interfere in their internal affairs so blatantly.
Thinking of this, Cao Ang couldn't help but sigh, and thought to himself: "This is really a God-given opportunity. It was not given by God, but I should be blamed for it. This is really not because I, Cao Zixiu, is murderous."
Seeing Cao Ang sighing, Gao Baqi thought that Cao Ang was lamenting his own experience.
Therefore, Gao Baqi struck while the iron was hot and knelt down again: "Your Majesty, please send troops to help me regain the throne!"
Cao Ang bent down again and helped Gao Baqi up. With a warm smile like the spring breeze, he said to Gao Baqi: "Don't worry, I will not allow such a violation of human ethics to happen. But after all, this is you. As for the country's own affairs, His Majesty still needs to make a decision on whether to send troops."
Gao Baqi, who was proficient in Han culture, naturally knew the emperor's status in the Han Dynasty.
Although it is Cao and his son who are in power now, the superficial work must still be done well.
Therefore, Gao Baqi cupped his hands and said: "Then please ask the prince to report to the Han court and explain to the emperor the dire straits between me and Goguryeo."
Cao Ang comforted Gao Baqi for a few words, and then asked him to stay in Youzhou first, and he would immediately go to the court to wait for a decision.
Gao Baqi left the hall gratefully, but did not notice the weird smile on the corner of Cao Ang's mouth.
Tian Chou, who had been standing aside quietly watching the two of them perform, suddenly seemed to see a big gray and furry tail growing out from behind Cao Ang's butt.
He couldn't help but murmur in his heart: "Oh my god, Gao Baqi is so innocent. I'm afraid that if he is sold by the prince, he still has to help the prince count his money."
When Gao Baqi walked away, Cao Ang suddenly asked Tian Chou: "Mr. Tian, what do you think of setting up a court organization in Goguryeo to uniformly manage the small countries or tribes in the northeastern region?"
Tian Chou thought for a while and then replied: "Isn't this the truest thought in your heart, Prince?"
Cao Ang didn't expect that Tian Chou would see through the secret in his heart so quickly. He was not embarrassed at all. Instead, he laughed loudly: "Hahahaha! People who can be valued by the teacher are indeed not ordinary talents!"
After laughing, Cao Ang said to Tian Chou: "Actually, this is indeed my idea, but it is just one of them."
"I'd like to hear the details!" Tian Chou said as if he was listening attentively.
"I want them to have civil strife for a while and consume Goguryeo's national power.
When we have our hands free, we can then naturalize them one by one like the Wuhuan and Xianbei people."
Tian Chou laughed dumbly and thought to himself: "What did I think it was? After all, I still want to kill him, right?"
But if a big man has this strength, who wouldn't like the great achievements of opening up territories and expanding the territory that can be recorded in the annals of history?
Tian Chou smiled and then said: "On this point, I think you can ask Lu Xiuqi for advice. I think Lu Xiuqi will definitely be able to give you a satisfactory answer."
"Teacher!" After hearing Lu Yan, Cao Ang nodded in agreement and said, "Indeed. I will write a letter to the teacher as soon as possible."
After writing the letter, Cao Ang handed her over to Tian Chou and said, "I won't leave for now. I will make the next decision when the teacher's reply comes."
Tian Chou put the letter in his arms. He would hand it to the shadow guards in Youzhou later, and then ask them to deliver it to Lu Yan as quickly as possible.
"The prince is staying in Youzhou for a while, and it will be a good time for my subordinates to enjoy the friendship of a landlord!"
"Haha! That will cause trouble for Mr. Tian!"
"It doesn't matter (there are enough troubles anyway.)"
