Chapter 1069
The other generals returned and took their troops to camp as the emperor said. Li Chengrui and several other major generals stood beside Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen, preparing to follow the Emperor of Tang into the city.
"Zhang Liang, Li Xiaogong, you two lead troops into the city to guard each city gate and all the important roads in the city. If there is a resistance and riot, kill it without any revenge!" Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
"The last general will receive the order!" Zhang Liang and Li Xiaogong held their fists and immediately brought their troops into the city to officially take over Pyongyang City.
"Transfer my will, the army entered the city without any crime, and was not allowed to burn, kill, loot, or rape. No matter who dared to violate the military order, he would be executed immediately!" Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
The generals followed the orders with stern understanding. They all knew in their hearts that the emperor wanted to occupy Goguryeo, so they naturally had to win the hearts of the people, and of course they could not let the army burn, kill, loot.
At the palace gate of the palace, Da Tsulu sat on the steps and sighed deeply, because no minister came back, they all said they wanted to go back and arrange their funeral, and then they never came back.
A servant hurried over and said anxiously: "Master, Master, the adults in the court have all gone to the city gate!"
Datong Lu heard this helplessly and said slowly: "They are going to welcome the Emperor of Tang!"
"Master, you are very respectful to Lu. If you surrender to the Tang Dynasty, you will definitely be valued..."
Da Lu said in a deep voice: "Don't say anything more. Our Li family has been favored by the king. When Yuan Gaisuwen mutiny and murdered the lord, if Goguryeo had not reached the moment of life and death, I should have stopped Yuan Gaisuwen. Even if he died, it would be okay! But for Goguryeo, I endured it. I originally hoped that Yuan Gaisuwen, a traitor, could defeat the Tang army, but unexpectedly, he would fail in the end!"
The long street at the west gate of Pyongyang City was originally empty, but now there are many people suddenly appearing.
"Ah, Lord Li, you are here too!"
"Yes, yes, it turns out that Lord Cui is here too!"
"Oh, Lord Park is here too?"
...
At first, everyone was a little embarrassed, but then they thought that everyone was here to welcome the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, so what else is there to be embarrassing?
This is called a hero who knows the times!
"The city can't stand it anyway. If you scold the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty like Datong Lu, it will only anger the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. The people will eventually suffer!"
"That's the reason. We gather here not for ourselves, but for the millions of people!"
"That's right, this is our responsibility!"
"Here's here!"
"It seems to be here!"
...
The army began to enter the city, took over the city, and began to sweep the martial law. The officials stood there intently, and a captain stepped forward to inquire.
"Who are you? Why are you standing here?" the captain asked.
"This general, we are all ministers from Goguryeo. Here we welcome His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty into the city! I hope to be more comfortable." The ministers said respectfully.
The captain Pegasus reported to Li Xiaogong, and Li Xiaogong couldn't help laughing: "This is a good thing. Just let them wait there. Anyway, they are all scholars, so don't worry that they will assassinate Your Majesty!"
Not to mention that Your Majesty himself has extraordinary martial arts, there are guards and a group of powerful generals such as Su Cheng, why should you worry?
Teams of soldiers entered the city and passed by these Goguryeo ministers in a blind eye.
The ministers were waiting anxiously and nervously, and finally, they saw a group of generals in front of them surrounded by an extraordinary armored person.
Everyone understood that this was probably His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
"I am paying homage to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and welcome His Majesty into the city!" The ministers bowed in a very neat manner, as if they had rehearsed in advance.
Li Shimin was in a very good mood when he was sitting upright on the battlefield. Although the civil officials failed to rebel for ten years and had no ability except for a pair of verbal words, it is of course a good thing that the ministers of Goguryeo could take the initiative to surrender.
"You all get up, there is no need to be polite. I am very happy that you can welcome me here!" Li Shimin said loudly.
"I am happy to hear that Your Majesty leads the royal army from thousands of miles away. The people of Goguryeo are also very surrendered to Your Majesty's power. I heard that Your Majesty is comparable to Yao and Shun, who loves the people as much as his son. I respectfully ask Your Majesty to treat the people of Goguryeo well!" The eldest brother in the inner voice said respectfully.
Li Shimin said loudly: "I have issued an order. The army will not violate any crimes when entering the city. If any soldiers commit crimes and commit illegal acts, I will punish you more severely! Therefore, you can rest assured, and the people of Goguryeo can rest assured!"
"Your Majesty is wise!" the ministers said in unison.
Li Shimin looked back at Gao Yanshou, and Gao Yanshou hurriedly walked up and said respectfully: "I will introduce it to Your Majesty. This is the eldest brother Gao Yuqi and Gao."
"This is the eldest brother Cui Xu!"
...
The ministers came forward to greet each other, and Li Shimin smiled and encouraged him.
After introducing the ministers, Li Shimin looked around and asked, "I heard that Da Ge Lu De is highly respected, and is the minister of the Prime Minister of Goguryeo. I don't know why I haven't seen Da Ge Lu?"
The ministers couldn't help but speak. What did they say? Could it be that the big brother Lu was waiting in the palace and was about to scold the emperor for being a squirting bloody head?
"This..." The eldest brother stood in front and faced the emperor's gaze. The pressure was particularly high, and he didn't answer, nor did he answer.
Li Shimin is a personal wise man, and he didn't understand the situation when he saw this, so he smiled and said, "It seems that Da Lu is a bit misunderstanding of me!"
Gao Yanshou said respectfully: "Your Majesty also please calm down. He wants to be pedantic and stubborn, so he is so ignorant of the current affairs."
"That's a pity!" Li Shimin said lightly: "Go to the palace! Then come with me!"
Li Xiaogong and Zhang Liang's troops entered the city, first took over the city gate, and then went straight to the palace to control the palace.
The guards of the original palace had been killed, and the defenders in the city had also withdrawn from the city. In fact, there was no danger in Pyongyang City.
The vast team headed straight to the palace. The palace gate and the palace walls were already covered with soldiers from the Tang Dynasty, but there was one person standing at the palace gate.
Although a little hunched, he is very energetic and a kind of heroic spirit.
"Your Majesty, there is a big pair of Lu in front of the palace gate, a pedantic old man who is not as good as the ancients!" Gao Yanshou reminded respectfully.
Gao Yanshou and the surrendered generals Li Chengrui did not think anything was wrong, but the elder brother and the court officials were unnatural when they saw Da Ge Lu, especially when Da Ge Lu's eyes swept towards them, an awkward look flashed across their faces.
"Song Yu, why don't you greet His Majesty when you see the Emperor?" Gao Yanshou asked.
