Chapter 531 Puppet
"Nothing else."
"I just hope that the emperor will give us some elixirs that can help us break through our cultivation level."
"Longevity pills? That's still too early." Hou Junji said expectantly.
"Ah."
"Yes."
"Breakthrough in cultivation." He Rong also nodded repeatedly.
Time flies.
Only six or seven days passed.
Above the Tai Chi Hall.
"Let's start playing, Your Majesty."
"I just received a report from Duke Lu."
"Our Tang Dynasty has won a great victory in Goguryeo, and the entire territory of Goguryeo is under the control of our Tang Dynasty." Zheng Xuan stood up and spoke loudly.
"it is good."
"As expected of our Tang army, they are extremely brave and courageous."
"In half a year, Goguryeo was stabilized."
"Very good." Li Zheng praised loudly, showing great satisfaction.
"Let's start playing, Your Majesty."
"Now Goguryeo has been pacified and the rebels have been dealt with."
"I think so."
"We should re-enthrone the King of Goryeo to stabilize the people's hearts."
Chen Shubao stood up and said with a righteous look on his face.
As soon as these words fell.
Naturally, all the civil and military officials in the court echoed: "We second the motion."
"Appoint the King of Goryeo to stabilize the people's hearts."
All the court officials naturally agreed.
But everyone knows it very well.
The so-called enthronement of the King of Goryeo was just a superficial righteous cause, a righteous cause for the Tang Dynasty to demonstrate the power of the Celestial Empire. Even if the King of Goryeo was enthroned, he was just a puppet.
But the Tang Dynasty had to do this in order to tell the surrounding foreign countries that the Tang Dynasty was the Celestial Empire and had no interest in such small countries, and to dispel their defenses. After all, if they united together and were not honest, it would indeed cause some trouble for the Tang Dynasty.
"Just as you have discussed."
"I decree to appoint Lee Seong-bang, the second son of the Goguryeo royal family, as the King of Goguryeo and to rule Goguryeo."
Li Zheng immediately issued an edict to confer the title.
"The Emperor's Holy Might."
All civil and military officials in the court shouted in unison.
Every face has a smile.
Goguryeo will belong to the Tang Dynasty in the future. As long as the time is right, the Tang Dynasty can naturally control Goguryeo and incorporate it into its territory.
This process will not take long.
"Except."
"There is also a secret memorial from Duke Lu, which only the emperor can read."
Zheng Xuan respectfully submitted another memorial.
Wang De immediately walked down, took the memorial and handed it respectfully to Li Zheng.
Li Zheng directly tore open the seal of the memorial, opened it and took a look, then nodded secretly: "It seems that Hou Junji has really changed his personality, not bad."
"Qin Qing, Chu Qing."
"Where are the officials I asked you to send now?" Li Zheng asked.
"Return to the Emperor."
"Within three days at most, officials from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel will be able to enter Goguryeo." Qin Jiansheng replied immediately.
"very good."
"I hope they all remember what I told them before." Li Zheng said.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured."
"All officials should keep in mind the emperor's teachings and implement the national policies of the Tang Dynasty in Goguryeo." Chu Suiliang said immediately.
"Ah."
Li Zheng nodded and asked no more questions.
The court meeting continued.
It lasted for more than an hour.
Disperse the dynasty.
Li Zheng also returned to the Council Hall.
"This time."
"Hou Junji did a good job."
"They actually knew to secretly send Li Dai and Li Chenglong here, but didn't do it in public." Li Zheng said, looking at the six ministers in front of him. "Your Majesty."
"These two people cannot be kept."
"Not only can we not keep them here, but we must also spread the news in Goguryeo that Li Dai has died of illness and Li Chenglong was killed by Li Chengfang."
"Only in this way can the outside world know that our Tang Dynasty has a legitimate reason to be a teacher." Qin Jiansheng said.
"Let's do as Qin Qing said." Li Zheng said.
"emperor."
"Judging from the speed, it will take at most two days."
"Li Dai and his son will be taken to Chang'an."
"Your Majesty, do you want to meet them before taking any action?" Zheng Xuan asked.
"What do I see them doing?"
"After taking him to Chang'an, kill him directly." Li Zheng said coldly.
See them?
And then listen to Li Dai scolding you?
Li Zheng is not so mean as to look for trouble.
"The Emperor's Holy Might."
"The two of them are of no use to our Tang Dynasty anymore, so just kill them and be done with it." Zhu Jun echoed.
"This matter."
"Leave it to the bad guys."
"What you need to do now is to keep a firm grip on Goguryeo for me. Those Goguryeo nobles may not give up, so we need to subdue the people of Goguryeo."
"I don't need to teach you how to do this, right?" Li Zheng said to the six people.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured."
"We will definitely get it done."
The six people said respectfully.
Then Li Zheng asked them to leave.
[Congratulations to the host for conquering Goguryeo, and you will be rewarded with a Xuan-level treasure chest.] The system prompted.
"Xuan-level treasure chest."
"I hope the fragrant cardamom will bloom." Li Zheng thought to himself.
immediately.
Directly give the command to open the treasure chest.
[Open the Xuan-level treasure chest. Congratulations to the host for obtaining skill points 30.] The system prompted.
Hear this.
Li Zheng shook his head helplessly. "This is also a bit helpless. If you say you are unlucky, the skill points are very precious. If you say you are lucky, then there is nothing substantial in the end."
"Use Xie to train some alchemists."
"There are not enough alchemists nowadays." Li Zheng said in his heart.
Up to now.
Li Zheng has completely turned alchemy into a workshop.
Now, in addition to training five second-level alchemists and ten first-level alchemists, you have also specially selected some people to learn alchemy.
Obviously.
These advanced alchemists were all inherited by Li Zheng using skill points.
They can refine thousands of pills of various kinds every day.
But for the Tang Dynasty, it was not enough.
Li Zheng needs more alchemists.
“Skill points are scarce.”
"I guess I am the only one who is training alchemists here when the spiritual energy is exhausted."
"Next."
"It means that the Ministry of Industry will do its best to manufacture firearms."
"Then there was the matter of moving the capital to Beiping."
"There is nothing else to do besides this." Li Zheng thought to himself.
The capital of Goguryeo.
outside the palace.
People from Goguryeo gathered in various parts of the royal capital.
A long red carpet was laid outside the palace gate, extending hundreds of meters away from the official road.
As the only royal family member of Goguryeo today, Li Chengfang, wearing a royal robe, waited respectfully.
Beside him was Hou Junji, also dressed in the uniform of a Tang Dynasty general, and there were also officials from the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue sent by the Tang Dynasty.
If the Tang Dynasty had not controlled him, perhaps wearing the royal robe at this moment would make him extremely excited, because this was the power he had longed for for many years. But now that he was wearing the royal robe, he felt extremely depressed, because he was just a puppet, a puppet without any rights.
It was just a facade for the Tang Dynasty to control Goguryeo.
No matter how unwilling he was in his heart, there was no way to solve the problem because he was completely controlled by the Three Corpses Brain Pill. Not only him, but also the ministers under his command, were all controlled.
No one can escape control.
