Chapter 58 Luo Yi's Anti-Shape Has Already Been Made
Goguryeo was a heart disease, not only for the emperors of the Sui Dynasty, but also for the emperors of the Tang Dynasty.
There were many reasons why Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty attacked Goguryeo. It can be speculated that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty wanted to kill a large number of Guanzhong disciples by attacking Goguryeo.
From a national perspective, at that time, the Turks gave in and Goguryeo must die!
The reason is simple. As a superpower in the known civilized world, the Sui Dynasty could not allow Goguryeo, a farming country that had entered feudalism, to continue to develop.
In the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin wanted to conquer Goguryeo, and Li Zhi wanted to conquer Goguryeo. Basically, it was for this reason.
Any threat must be nipped in the bud.
And Li Shimin may have another consideration in conquering Goguryeo, which is to prove to the world that I can do what Yang Guang cannot do!
The current situation in Goguryeo is quite special. Originally, when Yuan Taizu was alive, he alone controlled the power of Goguryeo, but after his death, the situation became complicated.
The first is the opposition between North and South.
The north is the base camp of Yuan Taizuo. He himself is also the "Eastern Master" of the tribe, and he also serves as the Moli branch of Goguryeo.
However, after his death, the King of Goguryeo appointed Eulji Mundeok as Molizhi and refused to recognize Yeongaesomun, the son of Yuan Taejo, as the new Molizhi.
In the north, several 'adults' also had their own evil intentions. After Yeon Gaesomun was dealt with by the King of Goguryeo, they were unwilling to call this young boy 'Eastern Lord'.
Therefore, the current Goguryeo is actually divided internally.
The south supported Goguryeo King Gao Jianwu.
In the north, several tribal leaders are at odds with each other.
The person who met Gao Kaedo this time was Yeon Gaesumun's envoy, and Gao Kaedo also knew Yeon Gaesumun's current situation, so he wanted tangible benefits.
Yeon Gaesomun couldn't give it to him, so why should he form an alliance with Yeongaesomun.
Chang'an, Prince Chu's Mansion.
A huge map of the world was spread on the ground, with several braziers placed around it. Li Zhiyun stepped on Youyan in plain socks, but his eyes did not stay on Youzhou at all, but fell on Goguryeo.
Luo Yi and Gao Kaidao were nothing to worry about. What he really wanted to deal with was Goguryeo.
In terms of military affairs, Goguryeo was defeated by the Turks, but its victory was due to its complex terrain and strong city walls.
As Goguryeo entered a feudal country and gave birth to an alternative Confucian culture, it was a thorn in Li Zhiyun's side.
In the known civilized world, it is enough to have the Tang Dynasty, and there is no need for the existence of another agricultural civilization country.
It must die!
However, Li Zhiyun also knew that now was not the time to cause trouble with Goguryeo. His current enemy was the Turks.
Only after killing the Turks can we consider killing Goguryeo.
Hula.
When the sliding door opened, the cold wind from outside blew in, causing Li Zhiyun to wake up suddenly. Looking up, he saw Bao Niang wrapped in winter clothes and standing on the porch.
"Yeah, it's time to eat."
She walked in, walked to Li Zhiyun, and looked at the map curiously.
"Yeah, what is this?"
"Map."
"Oh." She said oh, not sure whether she understood or not, and immediately stepped on the map representing Goguryeo, leaving a cute little footprint.
The little girl held the big hand, and the little girl said coquettishly: "I'm hungry, let's go have a meal."
"Okay." Li Zhiyun picked up his daughter, glanced at the map of Goguryeo with footprints, and walked away.
He secretly told himself that if he endured and waited, one day he would kill all of these disgusting people, destroy their ancestral temples, and turn them into Datang Prefecture and County.
The storm in Youzhou cannot affect Chang'an. After all, the two places are far apart, so the people of Chang'an naturally don't care whether the people of Youzhou live or die. When they hear the news, they will worry for a while at most, and then they will do whatever they want.
.
Xu Mansion.
Heavy snow fell on the courtyard, and Xu Shiji's heart felt the same as the courtyard.
These days, he saw the changes in the court. He envied Qin Qiong and others, but also secretly cursed himself for being cowardly.
If he could listen to Qin Qiong's advice and follow the Shence Mansion, he would now be the prince's confidant.
Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in this world.
However, he doesn't particularly regret it. Because he made a wrong choice once, he doesn't want to make a rash decision now.
However, now he has no choice. Either be loyal to the prince or resign and go home.
"Sir!" Xu Zhen, the six-year-old eldest son, trotted in.
"What's wrong?"
"Brother Huaiyu and Uncle Qin Shi are here."
"Please!" His spirit suddenly shook.
After a while.
Two carrot heads, Xu Zhen and Qin Huaiyu, were rolling around in the snow, while several servants were watching carefully.
Inside the house, Qin Qiong and Xu Shiji were warming themselves by the fire.
"Mao Gong, your room is too cold. I know Minister Yuwen, how about asking him to build a fire room for you?" Qin Qiong said.
"Uncle Bao, what is a fire room?"
Qin Qiong smiled and patted her arm.
"To tell you the truth, my arms and thighs hurt so much every time it rains, especially on snowy days. Fortunately, His Highness the Crown Prince is considerate and asked Minister Yuwen to build a fire house for me. Otherwise, I would only be in pain now.
I don’t want to move around..."
Immediately, Qin Qiong explained to him what a fire room was.
After listening, Xu Shiji said dumbly: "Isn't this appropriate? I have a close friendship with Minister Yuwen."
"I won't force you, just let me know if you need it."
"good."
After a pause, Qin Qiong said: "Maogong, now that the big thing has been decided, what do you think?"
"Uncle Bao, you have already said that the matter is settled, what else can I say." Xu Shiji smiled bitterly and said, "I know I am afraid of death if you laugh at me, but I am not afraid of your laughter. Back then, I followed Li Mi and thought he could make it happen.
But later..."
At this point, he shook his head, Li Mi hurt him too deeply.
"Me, Yi Zhen, and Shi Xin and the others, we have never thought about it this way. Everyone has their own ambitions, and we can understand you." Qin Qiong comforted you.
"Thank you."
"We are all brothers, no need to say thank you." Qin Qiong said: "I came here this time to tell you something. Although the world is gradually becoming peaceful, the war will not stop here. There are Turks in the north, and sooner or later His Royal Highness will meet
Command your troops to march north. Don't let this opportunity pass you by."
"His Royal Highness, are you willing to use me?" Xu Shiji asked with a smile.
Qin Qiong said: "You have not offended His Highness, so what are you afraid of? Besides, His Highness the Crown Prince has a broad mind, so there is no need to worry."
This is true. Xu Shiji secretly thought that although he was neutral and could not soar into the sky like Qin Qiong and others, for the new prince, he had nothing wrong.
Thinking of this, he cupped his fists towards Qin Qiong.
"If you are rich and powerful in the future, you will definitely not forget your uncle's support."
"Don't do this." Qin Qiong waved his hand and said: "Let's not mention the relationship between you and me, just talk about your talents. Even if I don't say anything, His Royal Highness will use you in the future."
Xu Shiji smiled and had no explanation.
It's true that he has intelligence, but if a group of brothers from Wagang hadn't said good things to him in front of the prince, he might have had to wait for several years if he wanted to be reused by the prince.
Therefore, his gratitude to Qin Qiong came from the bottom of his heart.
Xu Shiji looked around, stepped back and asked: "Uncle Bao, the saint is seriously ill now. When does Your Highness the Prince plan to ascend the throne?"
This question is not surprising because the courtiers are speculating in private.
Qin Qiong thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I really don't know about this. Your Highness the Crown Prince always has his own opinions when doing things."
Xu Shiji nodded, did not dwell on this issue, and turned to chat with Qin Qiong about the prosperous years in the past.
