Chapter 737 The Situation in Goguryeo (1)
If you change your clothes for five to ten years, you don’t seem to have to worry about the combat effectiveness of the army. At least you don’t have to worry before the old guys retire. As for the future, let’s talk about the future. Who knows what it will look like in the future.
After solving the situation in front of us, the old guys asked the imperial guards to move out the remaining gunpowder weapons that had not been used yet and had a lot of fun in the valley.
Seeing that he had nothing to do with him, Li Muyun simply said goodbye to Li Er and ran to work hard to live his own affairs.
On the other hand, Gao Minzhi returned to Goguryeo with a business group sent by a large family. This time he went on a mission to bring back nearly 20 million yuan of investment to Goguryeo. The credit was definitely great, and if there was no surprise, there would be some rewards.
Gao Jianwu had already received the information and knew that the opportunity was rare, so he specially hosted a banquet to entertain representatives of various families. At the same time, he also called Wubu Fusar and the messengers from Silla and Baekje to accompany him.
Being able to cooperate with various major families in the Tang Dynasty is considered a high-level success for Goguryeo, and it is also an enviable thing. Gao Jianwu naturally had to take advantage of this opportunity to make himself famous.
At the banquet, the people from the Tang Dynasty were very open. Under the deliberate flattery of the monarch and ministers of Goguryeo, they were all happy.
After the slum was dispersed, Gao Jianwu general Pei Xingjian stayed.
"Mr. Pei, first of all, I would like to thank Master Jin for his kindness. If it were not for the guidance of King Xiaoyao, I am afraid that Goguryeo would not have the grand event today."
"Your Majesty has said it!" Pei Xingjian couldn't figure out what Gao Jianwu meant, so he dealt with it randomly.
Gao Jianwu waved his hand and drove everyone in the hall out, bowing and saying, "I'm not hiding it from Mr. Pei, Xiao Wang has something to ask for, and I hope Mr. Successfully."
"Your Majesty can't do it, you can't do it!" Pei Xingjian was so scared that his hair stood up and he hurriedly replied.
Although almost everyone in the Tang Dynasty did not take Goguryeo seriously, no matter how hard Gao Jianwu said, he was the king of a country. As long as he was a king, it represented the imperial power. No matter how strong Pei Xingjian was, he would not dare to accept this gift from him.
Unexpectedly, Gao Jianwu actually acted like a rogue: "If sir doesn't agree, Xiao Wang won't get up."
Pei Xingjian had no choice but to compromise and said, "Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, I can't make a decision if you do this."
"This..." Gao Jianwu hesitated for a moment, sighed, came straight to his waist, pulled Pei Xingjian and said, "Mr. Pei, you have been in Goguryeo for a while, and I believe you should be able to see something."
"Your Majesty, how can you explain this?"
"Mr. Pei, the power of several mattresses is getting stronger and stronger. Sometimes my decree cannot even be issued in this palace. Mr. must know?"
Pei Xingjian really wanted to say that he didn't know, but this was a bit against his will. After thinking about it, he could only nod and say that he knew.
"So, Xiao Wang wants to ask Mr. Pei for help and discuss with the big families in your country. He hopes that this cooperation project will not cooperate with those mattresses as much as possible, so as not to increase their power."
"This..." Pei Xingjian smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, it's not that I'm not helping with this matter, but that's really bad."
"Sir, don't be too busy refusing. Please help me try it out. Xiao Wang is very grateful."
As Gao Jianwu's identity, he could speak in a low voice. Although Pei Xingjian didn't want to get involved, he was like being fired at this moment. It was impossible to refuse. He had to bite the bullet and say, "In this way, Xiaosheng will try it. If it doesn't work, I hope Your Majesty won't be surprised."
Gao Jianwu was happy when he heard this: "It's okay, sir, do your best. If you can't succeed, I will do this."
...
Pei Xingjian said goodbye to Gao Jianwu and left, and returned to the inn with many thoughts, but saw someone waiting for him here.
"Old Pei, do you miss me?" When the visitor saw Pei Xingjian, he warmly greeted him.
Pei Xingjian was stunned and shouted in surprise: "Lao Pang? Why are you here? Why don't you notify me in advance?"
"Hehe, I came with the business group. I can't even notify you if I want to notify you." Pang Wenlong punched Pei Xingjian in the chest and said, "How is it? It's almost a year in Goguryeo, are you still used to it?"
"There is nothing to be used to." Pei Xingjian pulled Pang Wenlong into the room with a haha, and immediately asked: Tell me quickly, did the prince tell you what he had told you before coming."
Pang Wenlong sighed: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you."
"If you hide anything, please tell me what the prince has to tell me."
"Okay, I'll tell you, the prince means that we should try our best to help Gao Jianwu and meet all his requirements."
"Meet all his requirements?" Pei Xingjian frowned: "Are you saying true?"
Pang Wenlong looked unhappy: "Of course it's true. Can I still lie to you in such a thing?"
"Then do you know what Gao Jianwu wants to do? Do you know if you want to help him..."
"Isn't it just a civil strife in Goguryeo? The prince already knows about the five mattresses. It is precisely because of this that I will tell you to try my best to help Gao Jianwu."
Pei Xingjian asked in confusion: "Why? If we help him with all our might, wouldn't he be the only one in the end?"
"It's a bit like the only one family. I'm as you thought before I came, but the prince thought that the five mattresses would never give up so easily. The more we support Gao Jianwu, the more threatening other tribes will feel. Maybe they will live in peace for a while, but in the end they will definitely cause more noise."
"This, is this what the prince said?" Pei Xingjian was a little uncertain.
Seeing that Pei Xingjian didn't believe him, Pang Wenlong said unhappily: "It's true that you told you. If you don't believe it, just go back to Chang'an and ask."
Pei Xingjian said silently: "No, I said it's not that I don't believe in you, but I didn't expect that the prince would think so far."
"You have always been like this, and you are not unclear." Pang Wenlong curled his lips and looked around and asked, "You have been in Goguryeo for almost a year. Could it be that you have been living here all the time, right?"
Pei Xingjian shrugged: "Or what? I am just a spokesperson, not the mastermind of the business group, so where can I get the money to buy a house?"
Pang Wenlong was a little discouraged: "Okay! I thought I could enjoy the happiness when I got here, but I didn't expect to suffer with you."
Pei Xingjian looked at Pang Wenlong with contempt: "You can take it down, you still enjoy happiness. We have a task to go to Goguryeo. If you enjoy happiness, wait until you return to the Tang Dynasty."
Pang Wenlong snorted indifferently, not taking Pei Xingjian's words at all, and said with his eyes on his left and right: "By the way, didn't Gao Jianwu invite you to the banquet today? Is there anything new? Tell me about it?"
