Ever since the Yeongaesomun rebellion killed King Yeongliu and a group of close ministers, and supported King Baobao as a puppet, the Daemoliji Mansion actually replaced the imperial court and became the place where government orders came from. No one in the government or the public would disobey any order issued by the Da Mo Li Zhi Mansion.
In the past, the Goguryeo Palace, which ruled the three Koreas, could only exist as a nominal supreme rule.
However, as Yeon Gaesumun's power and power 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 full of wrinkles, especially the two decrees that 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 was not as sickly and weak as his brother at all. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, a round waist, and a heroic look between his brows.
At this moment, he looked at his father, Gao Baobao, and said, "Father, Yuan Thief 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 traitor. 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 gain 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 is 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, wouldn’t it 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 weed out the traitors. And this traitor would only bring disaster to the country and the people and monopolize power. Therefore, even in the future, If Goguryeo falls, the Tang Dynasty will definitely treat my royal family kindly, and even if they move to the Tang Dynasty, they will not be able to return to their hometown of Goguryeo. Their lives will be absolutely safe."
Gao Baobao glanced at his eldest son very pleased. He was able to explain the chaotic situation in front of him so clearly that he could even see the way out. He was indeed somewhat talented in saving the world.
Immediately, his eyes dimmed again. This son is the best in everything and is even smarter than his father. Unfortunately, his body has been weak since he was a child and he has been sick all year round. He is afraid that he will not die soon. How many years he can live is still unknown. .
God is jealous of talents...
Destiny is like this, what can I do? I can only sigh.
Feeling deep 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 of Zuo would be cut off and the bloodline would be lost. This is the destiny of the Goguryeo royal family." ! However, now the Tang army is invading in large numbers, 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 attack 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 Renwudao: "Why don't you send someone to explain the situation here to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty clearly? 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 he no longer has the title of royal family, the real benefits are not necessarily less. What's more, it is inevitable that some of them will betray their ancestors for glory, and they will gain the trust and respect of the Tang Dynasty. They may not be able to fly into the sky...
Gao Nanfu shook his head and said: "Although the Tang army is strong, they can't save the fire from the distant water. The Yuan bandits are ferocious and cruel. If they can't defend Pingrang City, they will probably be burned together 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 with him? But when he opened his mouth, he realized that it was indeed Yeon Gaesoo's character. What he couldn't get would be destroyed. I'm afraid that not only the Goguryeo royal family, but also all the people of Pyongjang City would be destroyed. They will all be buried with him...
That man was like an animal, and it was impossible to reason with common sense.
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 have to be plagued by illness and die soon?
The expression on his face became more and more bitter and full of hatred...
Seeing that his father and younger brother were speechless for a while, Gao Nanfu sighed in his heart and said, "You 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: "Yuan Thief just married his own woman to Changsun Chong. That guy is a sinner in the Tang Dynasty. This time he must be heartbroken and surrenders to Yuan Thief. How can we trust him? If he kills us, If you inform the Yuan thief of your plan, you will die without a burial place!"
Gao Nanfu didn't answer, 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. Not to mention whether Changsun Chong has contact with the Tang Dynasty, even if he sincerely surrenders to Yuan Thief, how can Yuan Thief 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 you have in Changsun Chong, the more wary he will be behind his back, and he may not even want to plot against Changsun Chong in order to severely damage 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 could Yeon Gaesumon 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 the Tang Dynasty, 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 ferocity!"
Thinking back to the time when his uncle, King Yeongliu, noticed that Yeon Gaesumun was powerful and had evil intentions, he wanted to deceive him into the palace and get rid of him. However, Yeongaesumun found out about his secret plan and sent his 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...
