The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 698 Into the Enemy

Regardless of whether the emperor's mind is good or his personality dictates it, in short, it is difficult for Pei Xingjian to adapt to Gao Jianwu's leaping dialogue style. There were two assassination operations, one was successful, and the other was a failure. In the successful one, he killed the entire family of Zheng Shanguo, the patriarch of the Zheng family of the Tang Dynasty, and in the failed one, he planned to assassinate the Supreme Emperor."

Gao Jianwu's messy way of talking originally wanted to disrupt Pei Xingjian's thinking, but he never expected that Pei Xingjian would bring such explosive news. The moment he heard the news, his face turned livid, and he stood up abruptly and stared at Pei Xingjian He said, "Is what you said true?"

"If there is half a lie, I would like to suffer a thousand cuts." Pei Xingjian promised seriously.

The eunuch who followed Gao Jianwu was no longer awesome at this time, and said in awe and fear: "This, how is this possible, Your Majesty, how is this possible, Mr. Mo Lizhi is missing, isn't he?"

"Missing..., yes!" Gao Jianwu seemed to have grasped at straws, turned to Pei Xingjian and said, "Pei Xingjian, didn't Quan Gai Su Wen disappear when he went to your Tang Dynasty as an envoy? How could he appear again? What are you doing?" To assassinate the Supreme Emperor is such a rebellious thing."

Seeing that Gao Jianwu had been frightened, Pei Xingjian said with a slight smile, "Your Majesty, don't be nervous. His Majesty Tian Khan didn't think about pursuing this matter, and Mr. Quangai Suwen also didn't show that he was Take your order."

"Oh, that's good, that's good." Gao Jianwu breathed a sigh of relief, and sat back in the seat he had just been in.

Having a powerful neighbor is actually not a good thing to say. Gao Jianwu, who has always been ambitious, had to put most of his thoughts on guarding against his powerful neighbor. The common people built the Great Wall more than [-] miles long.

So when Pei Xingjian said what Quangai Suwen had done, Gao Jianwu was almost scared out of his wits, and never asked why Pei Xingjian said that he did not have enough control over the situation in Goguryeo.

Pei Xingjian did not care about himself, and after taking the initiative, he said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the economy is the lifeblood of a country. Datang and Goguryeo are separated by a narrow strip of water, and they are each other's states. It is their responsibility and obligation to help your country so that you can regain power. , and also allow the common people of Goguryeo to live a better life.”

After a while, Gao Jianwu recovered from the shock just now, and said in an uncertain tone: "Well, according to what you said, you are doing it for my own good?"

"Your Majesty, Cao Min actually just wanted to remind you of one thing." Pei Xingjian found that Gao Jianwu was still hesitating, took a deep breath, and said word by word: "You have to be careful of breeding tigers."

Gao Jianwu frowned, of course he knew the reason why raising tigers was a threat, but compared to the five domestic samurai, a powerful Tang Dynasty gave him even more headaches, because he never believed that Li Muyun would be so kind and send someone to come here Go to Goguryeo and help him gain control of Goguryeo.

But as the old saying goes, it is better to give to foreign enemies than domestic slaves. Li Muyun came to Goguryeo to do business for the benefit of Datang, but after thinking about it, the current Datang is no longer what Goguryeo can deal with. How about making it bigger?There are too many lice and they don't bite.

But the situation in Goguryeo is different. There is already a Quan family in the five parts, and if there is another one, it is estimated that he, the emperor, will be completely emptied.

As the saying goes, the lesser of two evils, the same business, if the profit is the same, Gao Jianwu believes that it seems that it is much better for the money to be earned by Datang than to be earned by his own people.

Thinking of this, Gao Jianwu finally made up his mind, coughed and said to Pei Xingjian: "Forget it, if this is the case, you can try it, and I will send King Pingyang to discuss this matter with you later."

"Yes, thank you Your Majesty for your grace!" Pei Xingjian achieved his goal and got up to leave.

Watching his leaving back, the eunuch next to Gao Jianwu said worriedly: "Since your majesty doesn't want to do this business, why do you want to cooperate with him? How about..." The eunuch said while making a beheading gesture .

"What do you know? If I had kicked this person out before entering Goguryeo, the business wouldn't have been done. But now that this person has contacted almost half of the dignitaries, he must have gone out quite a bit. It's too late to stop him, it's better to forcefully drive him away and support him first, if one day in the future it is found that the business is really profitable, at worst, it's just a matter of getting it back."

The eunuch rolled his eyes a few times and flattered: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Gao Jianwu had a gloomy face, and snorted disdainfully: "Hmph, everyone in the world thinks I'm a fool, so what if I just treat myself like a fool again? Let them make trouble for now, and sooner or later I'll get back all my capital and profits." .”

It has to be said that Gao Jianwu's idea is really wonderful. Let Pei Xingjian do business in Goguryeo first, and when the time is right for the business to expand, find an opportunity to drive him out of Goguryeo. At that time, his shares will become Gao Jianwu's own.

I believe that even if Li Muyun has any dissatisfaction, he can only watch it. After all, he cannot influence the Emperor of Tang Dynasty to go to Goguryeo to fight for a few small money.

Relatively speaking, by that time, Gao Jianwu had already completed the layout, and with a lot of money in hand, he could completely integrate Goguryeo into a monolithic one, without worrying about anyone anymore.

But is it really that simple?If Pei Xingjian really came to Goguryeo to do business, it is estimated that his plan may really be successful.

But the reality is that Pei Xingjian didn't really come to do business, his arrival was just a shocking scam, a scam involving the participation of all the families and nobles in the entire Tang Dynasty.

So Gao Jianwu misjudged the situation from the very beginning, thinking he had everything under control, but he didn't know that he was falling into someone else's trap.

In Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty in March, the grass grows and the warblers fly, the people work hard, the officials are diligent and conscientious, and only those second-generation dudes hang around all day long.

After hiding for a spring, Li Muyun reappeared in people's field of vision.

"What? Fish?" Wannian County Magistrate could hardly believe his ears.

After staying in Chang'an for so many years, he thought he had seen a lot of things, but this was the first time he heard about fish farming.

Li Muyun crossed his legs and nodded leisurely: "That's right, fish farming, let's take the lead in the county and take care of it. By the end of the year, you may be able to change your position."
