"But don't worry about Lu. Gu will not embarrass the people of Goguryeo."
"From today onwards, Goguryeo will not have to pay taxes for three years."
Yang Ling smiled.
Although Goguryeo is a country, its national power is not strong, not even some of the wealthier counties in Cao Wei.
Yang Ling didn't pay attention to its taxes.
But after Peizhe came to listen, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The reason why he surrendered voluntarily was because he hoped that Yang Ling could treat the Goguryeo people well!
With Yang Ling's promise, Pei Zhe felt much more at ease.
"His Royal Highness King Qi is benevolent and righteous!"
…
Early the next morning, driven by the Wei army, all the Goguryeo people in Wandu Mountain City came to the square in the city.
All the Goguryeo royal family, except for Youzu, were captured here.
Pei Zhe was full of sympathy, glanced at the royal family members, then hardened his heart and said in a deep voice,
"The former throne palace was arrogant, ignorant of life and death, and sent troops without authorization, which angered the country of China."
"It is good that the Kingdom of Heaven may show compassion and not want to implicate innocent people."
"Now all members of the royal family will be executed in public, and I, the Goguryeo people, will be adopted as subjects of Cao Wei!"
"In addition, I, the Goguryeo people, will be exempted from taxes for three years!"
For more than 90% of the Goguryeo people, they did not care who would rule them.
But exempting them from taxes for three years is related to their vital interests!
Moreover, the Goguryeo people had long heard about the prosperity of the Central Plains dynasty.
They are even more eager to become the subjects of Cao Wei!
So they cheered one after another, and even threw rotten eggs at the royal family members!
Seeing this situation, Yang Ling couldn't help but shook his head secretly.
This situation is very similar to those Chinese people in later generations who worship foreign things!
Fortunately, his appearance can change the course of history.
With his own vision and knowledge, he should be able to speed up China's development and avoid the suffering that China suffered in the previous life!
After a thousand years, China will become the most powerful country in the world, right?
While Yang Ling was thinking wildly, the Wei soldiers on the stage had already begun the execution.
Hundreds of members of the Goguryeo royal family were beheaded in public display!
…
Seeing that Wandu Mountain City, the capital of the country, was captured, the king was worried about his position and fled in a hurry. The remaining towns in Goguryeo surrendered to the Wei army one after another!
Even Fuyu, Sushen and other countries, as well as tribes such as Woju and Yilou in the north and south, sent people to declare their vassalage to Cao Wei!
At this point, the Liaodong Peninsula and the Korean Peninsula were completely under the control of Cao Wei.
In addition to Goryeo County, Yangling also established Samhan County at the southernmost tip of the Goryeo Peninsula, which was the territory of Samhan and Xie.
The governors of Gaoli County and Sanhan County were respectively appointed by Peizhe Delai and Sun Zong who surrendered.
In addition, Yangling merged the four counties of Liaodong, Daifang, Lelang, and Xuantu that originally belonged to Youzhou with Gaoli County and Sanhan County to form the fourteenth state in the world, named Pingzhou!
After taking care of all this, it's almost the end of the year.
Fortunately, when they returned, they did not have to go back by land. Instead, they took a warship from Liaodong County and went straight to Qingzhou.
After landing in Qingzhou, Yang Ling and his party changed into carriages and drove slowly all the way.
Finally, I successfully returned to Luoyang before the New Year.
After learning that Yang Ling had returned triumphantly, the city of Luoyang was filled with joy and lights were decorated everywhere.
On both sides of the road, there are many people welcoming you!
"I have met your Majesty!"
Yang Ling stood in the hall and saluted Cao Yuan casually.
"Father, there is no need to be polite, please give me a seat quickly!"
Today's Cao Yuan, although not as good as the weak champion, is still high-spirited.
Having inherited the excellent genes of Yang Ling and Cao Qing, he is handsome with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes!
A few days ago, under Yang Ling's arrangement, Cao Yuan married the daughters of Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Zhao Yun, and Gan Ning respectively.
Among them, Dian Wei's daughter was made queen by Cao Yuan.
Although Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Gan Ning were tall and ugly, the wives introduced to them by Yang Ling were more beautiful than the last.
As a result, the daughter she gave birth to was not as beautiful as Cao Qing and other girls, but she was still quite beautiful.
Just by looking at the dark circles under Cao Yuan's eyes, Yang Ling could tell that this kid was quite satisfied!
My son is working so hard. As a father, should I pass on Zuo Ci’s Fangzhong technique to him?
"His Royal Highness the King of Qi put down the Liaodong rebellion, took over Goguryeo, Sanhan and other countries, and opened up the fourteenth state for Cao Wei."
"There are not many people in history who have made such contributions to opening up new territories."
"Therefore, I feel that His Highness, King Qi, should be heavily rewarded!"
Gao Rou on the side chuckled.
Everyone nodded in agreement, but immediately got into trouble.
After all, Yang Ling was already the king of Qi, and was worshiped as the prime minister. He opened the government to manage affairs, added nine tins, entered the court, went to the palace with swords and shoes, fake yellow Yue, and oversaw all the Chinese and foreign military affairs.
You can even build the emperor's banner, have eight hundred people dancing and dancing, ride a gold-rooted chariot with six horses, have the princess as the queen, the prince as the crown prince, and sit on the throne of the princes and kings!
Such treatment is already extremely generous.
If you go higher up, what else can you block him with?
"All of this was accomplished under His Majesty's command. It all comes down to His Majesty's credit."
"Your Majesty has rewarded me enough. I dare not ask for anything more."
Yang Ling chuckled and waved his hand in decline.
After hearing what he said, everyone was very knowledgeable and said nothing more.
"Okay, I have ordered someone to set up a banquet for us to celebrate our father's triumphant return."
Cao Yuan smiled.
At this moment, someone suddenly stood up and said loudly,
"Your Majesty, I have my heart to tell you!"
Everyone took a closer look and saw that it was Jiang Ji who was a regular attendant on Sanqi.
"What do you have to say, dear?"
Cao Yuan said strangely.
"I want to impeach Prime Minister Yang, massacre the city in Pingzhou, kill tens of thousands of Goguryeo people, and build a capital."
"Such actions are too cruel and undermine His Majesty's wisdom, and they also harm the reputation of Cao Wei."
Jiang Ji said in a deep voice.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked and looked at Jiang Ji like a fool.
Now that Yang Ling has great power and is the biological father of Emperor Cao Yuan, you actually go to impeach him?
Moreover, the impeachment was still about the massacre of Goguryeo people.
Isn't this asking for trouble?
Cao Yuan's face darkened, and he said with some displeasure,
"The Goguryeo people don't know whether to live or die. If my father-in-law kills them, he will kill them. What's so cruel about it?"
"Your Majesty, please punish the Prime Minister!"
Jiang Ji didn't seem to see Cao Yuan's face and still insisted.
"You...Jiang Ji, do you think I dare not kill you?"
Cao Yuan stood up and shouted coldly.
Seeing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, Yang Ling coughed lightly and said calmly,
"Your Majesty, what Changshi Jiang said makes sense. How about this? I will fine myself a year's salary as punishment!"
Although Cao Yuan did not intend to punish Yang Ling, since Yang Ling spoke, he had no choice but to say,
"Then just follow what the prime minister said!"
Hearing what Cao Yuan said, Jiang Ji just stepped back!
(I recommend my new work, "With millions of soldiers in hand, you want me to raise troops to serve the king?")
