In the Gaoguli Palace, Gao Jianwu had just received the news that the harbor had been attacked and the shipyard had been destroyed. This news made him furious.
You know, half of Gaoguli's income comes from plundering ships and transporting goods to and from trade.
In the past, Gaoguli's ships often went to the coastal areas of the Tang Dynasty to plunder, and plundered a large amount of wealth. This made the people of Gaoguli very wealthy, and he was able to form a powerful army. Without these supplies, It is simply a luxury to hope to form a powerful army, let alone threaten the Tang Dynasty.
But now, his backbone was actually wiped out by the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty. It didn't matter if he wiped out the fleet, but his harbor was destroyed, and even the shipyard was destroyed. For Gao Jianwu, this was like draining the firepower. .
He had gone through a lot of hard work to build the shipyard, and the difficulties involved were unspeakable. But now, it was destroyed, and Gao Jianwu's heart was bleeding.
You know, Gao Jianwu also planned to use ships to transport his soldiers to an island not far from Gaogouli, waiting for the Tang army to leave Gaogouli, and then they would come back and occupy it again.
Now this plan is completely ruined. Even if there are a few ships, they are not enough for his soldiers. Not to mention, the Tang Army will not give you so much time to slowly transport the soldiers and baggage.
In other words, the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty completely cut off his possibility of escaping Pyongyang, and he could only fight with his back against the Tang army.
But he knew that the Tang army had that kind of secret weapon, and he was afraid that it would not be able to withstand it at all. Su Wen Gaiyuan was beaten back to Liaodong County by the Tang army before he saw it, which made Gao Jianwu very irritable.
"Your Majesty, are you still worried about the navy?"
At this time, a beautiful woman in white gauze came out from behind the palace, came to Gao Jianwu's side, and whispered softly.
Seeing this woman, Gao Jianwu became even more agitated. The person in front of him was none other than Gao Jianwu's princess, Su Wen Gaiyuan's childhood sweetheart.
"What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you that this is not the place for you to come! Do you think I'm joking?" Gao Jianwu said in a cold voice, with a very unhappy look on his face, even a look of disgust.
This made the princess' face change slightly. This was the first time she saw such an expression on the king's face, especially when he showed such an expression to her, not to mention the attitude of speaking. It was completely different from before.
"King, what happened? Why do you look like this to me? Did I do something wrong?" the princess asked with a puzzled look on her face.
"I told you to get out, didn't you hear me?"
"Come here, take the princess away and lock her up. Anyone who dares to let the princess out will be killed!!!" Gao Jianwu ordered to the guards.
Hearing such an order, the guards were stunned. You must know that the relationship between the king and the princess has always been excellent, making many people envious, but what happened today?
The king actually ordered the princess to be placed under house arrest. Could it be that the princess did something to offend the king? But even if it's a big deal, it won't be like this, unless...
Some people had already guessed something, but most people didn't believe that such a thing happened, but they had to listen to the king's order. They called two maids to enter the palace, took the princess down, and locked her up.
Until she was escorted away by the guards, the princess was still complaining. She didn't know what mistake she had made to let the king treat her like this.
However, Gao Jianwu remained unmoved from beginning to end, as if he didn't hear anything.
This scene frightened the people in the palace into silence, and they didn't even dare to take a breath, for fear of making the king angry, and they would be beheaded lightly. If their family members were implicated, they would have no place to cry.
Just after the princess was placed under house arrest, Su Wen Gaeyuan also came to Pyongyang.
He did not go to the palace to meet the king immediately, but returned to his home first. At home, the old housekeeper saw the master coming back and was busy waiting on him.
However, Su Wen Gaiyuan waved his hand and told the old housekeeper not to be busy with this. Instead, he called him to his side and asked, "Did anything happen to the Imperial City while I was out these days?"
The old housekeeper was stunned and said: "No, the royal city is calm, and there is no worry because of the arrival of the Tang army and horses.
You must know that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty sent troops to attack Gaoguli three times, but all failed. In the eyes of the people in the royal city, the royal city was very good, and there was no need to change places or identities.
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was able to defeat him three times, which shows the strength of the Goguli people.
But at this moment, a figure ran in from the door, knelt down to Gao Jianwu, and presented a memorial at the same time.
