Emperor Zhenguan

Changan.

Gollum.

The sound of the carriage escorting the Goguryeo captives attracted people on the side of the road to watch.Most of these people are carrying hoes and sickles and other agricultural tools, ready to go to the fields to harvest rice and wheat.Some well-dressed merchants also stopped their horses and looked over.

"I heard that that is the King of Goguryeo."

"What kind of Goguryeo king? In my Tang Dynasty, there is no Goguryeo king. If he dares to betray the saint and rebel, he is a traitor." Some people said angrily.

"Yes, this man is really bad. The saint is so benevolent and benevolent, but he actually rebelled. It's a vain son of man."

"Damn!"

The common people talked a lot, and most of the comments were contempt and hatred for Gao Jianwu.In the hearts of the Tang people, the emperor is a living saint, not a saint who just talks about it.Since the sage wanted to send troops to destroy Goguryeo, it must be Goguryeo who did something wrong.

Even merchants cast aside one after another.

"How benevolent is my pilgrim, this Goguryeo barbarian is too ignorant to dare to rebel."

"That's right, the country deserves to be destroyed."

For ordinary people, the sage gives them tax relief, gives them better farm tools, even exempts them from a lot of labor, borrows cattle, teaches them how to fertilize the fields, accumulate soil and fertilizer, and increase food production. No matter what the sage does , is right, righteous, and holy.

It is only right for the saints to destroy Goguryeo.

For merchants, the cement road has become their "treasure road", which greatly improves their speed of business and gives them better conditions to make money. Naturally, they also have infinite reverence for the saint.

Goguryeo, since it was destroyed by a sage, it must be what it deserves, it deserves to die.

It has to be said that Li Zhiyun's reputation has now extended from the Guanzhong region to most of the Central Plains region, even in the South.The reason is simple, it's just that it is better for the people, whoever is good for the people, the people are naturally willing to worship whom.

As the Tang Dynasty fought abroad, obtained resources and slaves, and fed back to the people, the lives of the people of the Tang Dynasty have been rising.Except for the ever-decreasing taxes and labor, the population, food, etc., are all increasing sharply.

And as the court's good governance spread farther and farther, Li Zhiyun's reputation also became higher and higher.In Guanzhong, Hedong, Central Plains, Hebei, Bashu and other areas, the people all regarded the emperor as a real saint.

Unlike the saints in the former emperor's period, who were just a simple title, Li Zhiyun's title of saint was really shouted out by the people from the bottom of their hearts.

It is no exaggeration to say that whoever dares to say a bad word about the saint in front of the people of Tang Dynasty will definitely be beaten.What's more, if Li Zhiyun did something wrong, the common people would not think it was a saint who was wrong, but a treacherous minister in the court.

Gao Jianwu bowed his head in the prison car, his hair was disheveled, his face was disheveled, and he was completely depressed.Xie Shufang led the team in front, and his mood became more and more cheerful.

As the team entered Chang'an City, Gao Jianwu was also sacrificed to the Taimiao.

"Gao Jianwu, the guilty minister, pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor, and ask His Majesty the Emperor to forgive the sinful minister for disrespecting the country." Gao Jianwu knelt outside the Taimiao, kowtowed to the Taimiao and shouted.

...

To be honest, Gao Jianwu really didn't know what mistake he made, but he had to find a reason for himself who didn't make a mistake at all.Everything is just for survival.

In the Taimiao, Li Zhiyun put incense sticks on the late emperor.

"Father, if you have a spirit in the sky, you must have seen it too. My minister has burned another Goguryeo for you. If you see Emperor Sui Yang, you might as well tell him that Goguryeo has been destroyed and let him go with peace of mind." .And Baekje and Silla are almost there.”

When Turkic died, he said so, when Xue Yantuo died, he also said so, when Uyghur died, when Tuyuhun died, and even when he conquered all tribes and nations, Li Zhiyun said so of.

To be honest, Li Zhiyun himself doesn't even remember how many fanbangs he burned for Lao Li.Turkic, Khitan, Xi, Yu, Xueyantuo, Uighur, Sijie, Tuyuhun
There must be more than a dozen of them in the grassland alone.

"Father, don't worry, wait a few more years, and I will show you how to burn a Western Turk and a Tubo." Li Zhiyun said.

After staying for a while, he turned and walked out.

The light fell on his black and gold dragon emperor uniform, making him look extraordinarily majestic and domineering.

Lifting his feet and walking in front of Gao Jianwu, looking at the kneeling King Goguryeo, Li Zhiyun gently rubbed the hilt of the emperor's sword.

"You are guilty." Li Zhiyun's tone was not asking him, but stating the established facts.

"I know, I know, please forgive the guilty minister." Gao Jianwu knocked his head on the ground and begged for mercy.

He didn't even dare to look at the emperor from the beginning to the end.

Wrong, he really knew it was wrong.From the moment Tang Jun took out the Shenlei to bomb, he knew he was wrong.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

Li Zhiyun sighed: "You guys, you still don't cry when you don't see the coffin. I sent someone to talk to you carefully. You didn't listen to each of you and didn't take it seriously. Now you know that you are wrong. It's too late."

Hearing this, Gao Jianwu's face turned pale.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me!" Gao Jianwu kowtowed to admit his mistake.

"Don't be like this." Li Zhiyun said: "Be decent, you were also a decent person when you were alive, it's better to be decent."

After speaking, Li Zhiyun left.

Nothing else, the result of processing is killing.

Don't say he is bloodthirsty, but Gao Jianwu must die.Goguryeo's people will definitely not be able to accept it for a while, and he never thought about accepting it.That being the case, Gao Jianwu doesn't have to waste food.

Furthermore, destroying the country and destroying the country is naturally the complete extermination of the Goguryeo royal family, which can be regarded as annihilation of the country.

This is called, destroying the country and punishing the heart.

The next day, the Goguryeo royal family, together with those loyal Goguryeo noble ministers, were all executed, and their family records were wiped out.

The people of Chang'an are used to the Great Tang destroying the country and killing its king, so there is nothing to make a fuss about, at most it is an extra item of talk.

political affairs hall.

Li Zhiyun tapped on the memorial lightly, and the faces of the Xiangguo people below were also solemn.

After a long time, Wen Yanbo said: "The land of Goguryeo is sure to be revived."

Well, Goguryeo sent news that several cities were dissatisfied with the Tang Dynasty's seizure of their women and children, rebelled and hid in the mountains.

"Should I keep Gao Jianwu?" Li Zhiyun asked.

Du Ruhui shook his head and said, "It's useless for Your Majesty to keep Gao Jianwu. Goguryeo is different from other places. After all, it used to be a country, not a tribe like the Turks. The two situations cannot be compared."

"What about Tuyuhun?" Dai Wei asked.

Du Ruhui explained: "Tuyuhun was wiped out once, not to mention that I set up the governor's mansion there, and left Tuyuhun nobles to help manage it. Although there was a recovery, it was not a big problem. But Goguryeo, it is a bit troublesome."

Li Zhiyun put down the memorandum, closed his eyes and said: "Well, let's stop for now, so as to be comforted, and then deal with it slowly after Silla Baekje is destroyed. The land of Goguryeo is to be included in the empire's territory, and its people If you want to return to your heart, maybe you can give them a chance."

The situation in Fanbang is different, and he has to adjust his strategy appropriately to avoid troubles in that area every day.

Of course, what to do still has to be done, but the means are slightly milder.

"Your Majesty is wise." Xue Shou said: "As I continue to expand the land, I need to tidy it up right now."

Several Prime Ministers nodded one after another, feeling that what they said made sense.
