Chapter 1071 Leisurely
The people in the royal capital were surprised to find that after the Tang army captured Pyongyang City, they did not bring any bad changes to them. Everything in the city was as usual, without killing or looting, only soldiers and horses patrolling everywhere.
At first, everyone was still scared when they saw the soldiers patrolling everywhere, but later, especially when they discovered that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were eating, drinking, tea and giving money, they were no longer afraid. Not only did they not feel scared, but they felt a little relieved.
However, what made everyone most happy was that the court issued a series of government decrees, including tax reductions and exemptions, corvee labor, etc., which made everyone feel the benefits.
Originally, everyone thought that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would definitely impose heavy taxes and extort them, and enslaved them. Unexpectedly, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would actually rest and rest with less taxes. This was so happy.
Pyongyang City is peaceful and peaceful, but since Li Shimin entered the palace, he has become extremely busy and is still working hard at night.
It was not for the beauties in the palace, but for the political affairs of Goguryeo. After this series of chaos, Goguryeo can be said to be in a mess.
Moreover, for the emperor, it was not only as simple as making Goguryeo stable again, but also to make Goguryeo officials and people return to the Tang Dynasty. This is not something that can be done overnight, so careful planning is required.
Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji, Li Jing and others were very busy, but Su Cheng was idle, and Shenjiying was idle.
Because of the Shenji Camp, there is no need to patrol, no need to guard, and no need to sweep away the defeated soldiers.
After capturing Pyongyang City, even the last defenders surrendered, and even the ministers in the court surrendered, that means the situation is settled, and those cities that have not been captured will inevitably surrender.
There may be cities that refuse to surrender, but that is not a big problem. There is no need to dispatch the Tang Dynasty troops to attack. Li Chengrui and other surrendered generals are probably happy to have the opportunity to perform.
It is rare to have a leisure time, and Su Cheng finally no longer has to live in a big tent. He is famous for placing artillery artillery. Now Su Cheng's name is extremely famous in Goguryeo.
It can even be said to be even more famous than Li Shimin's name. Who doesn't know that Su Cheng is a hero of the Tang Dynasty, and who doesn't know that no one can match the holy grace?
Therefore, I don’t know how many people in Pyongyang City rushed to give up their luxurious house to Su Cheng to live in.
In the end, Su Cheng moved into Gao Yanshou's house because Gao Yanshou's house was the cleanest.
Since Gao Yanshou was defeated and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, the concubines and servants in the mansion were killed and sold, which can be said to be clean and clean.
The house with Gao Yanshou is really good, the only thing that is the fact that it is a bit big.
It was originally a good thing to be big, but Jin Shengman also felt that big and she had nowhere to go, so she followed her and moved in, which made Su Cheng helpless.
It was not that Su Cheng was reluctant to let Jin Shengman move in, but that he was afraid that he could not control himself.
In the past, they were all in the military camp. Not to mention marching and fighting all day long, just that kind of range can make people suppress the distractions in their hearts.
But in the picturesque manor, and people relaxed, as the saying goes, "I think about it with fullness and warmth, so Su Cheng was really afraid that he would not be able to control himself."
Since I was free, of course I had to go out for a walk. This time, I was traveling at the time of the Eastern Expedition. I had to bring some gifts to Li Lizhi, Wu Xi and the others.
As soon as Su Cheng stepped onto the war horse, a gentle voice sounded behind him.
"Is the Duke going out?" Jin Shengman came over slowly.
"Oh, yes, it's rare to have some time to go out for a walk." Su Cheng said with a smile.
Jin Shengman was surprised and said, "It's great. I'm going to go out for a walk, but I'm a little scared by myself!"
Su Cheng was speechless. You have maids and guards. What are you afraid of?
"I'm going out to ride a horse, you..." Su Cheng said hesitantly.
"I'm riding a horse too, I'm riding a horse all the way!" Jin Shengman smiled. Her riding skills were good, and as the Tang army marched eastward, her riding skills improved again.
So Kim Seung-man turned her back decisively, and she was very heroic.
It is impossible to drive people back, and Su Cheng no longer said anything and followed him to turn over.
Following Su Cheng, Jin Shengman was very relieved and only brought two maids to her horse and followed her.
In fact, Su Cheng only brought more than a dozen guards. Now the city is full of soldiers from the Tang Dynasty, and he is not worried at all that anyone will be unfavorable to him.
After all, even if he was assassinated, it would be useless. The artillery guns would not disappear, but would instead cause the emperor to furiously start a murder.
After leaving the mansion and riding on the long street with Su Cheng, Jin Shengman was in a very good mood. This was simply a scene that only appeared in her dreams. Of course, it would be even better if she could ride on the long street with Su Cheng and riding on the long street of Jincheng.
Jin Shengman asked in a delicate voice: "Where does the Duke want to go?"
In fact, Kim Seung-man doesn’t care where to go, as long as he doesn’t go to brothels.
Su Cheng smiled and said, "Just take a walk around, see the scenery of Pyongyang City, and buy some gifts."
"Gift?" Jin Shengman was very surprised when he heard this. I wonder how many people were rushing to curry favor with Su Cheng. Su Cheng still needs to buy a gift for him?
Besides, you can make a fortune when you go out to fight. Even if you don’t plunder, you will get spoils. There will definitely be spoils for generals like Su Cheng, so you don’t need to buy gifts specifically.
"I came to Goguryeo and always brought some gifts to my family." Su Cheng explained with a smile.
It turned out that he was going to prepare a gift for Princess Changle. Jin Shengman suddenly felt sour when he heard this, and said a little resentful: "The Duke is really considerate."
Is this considered considerate?
If it is placed in later generations, this can only be considered a routine operation. If you come back from a long journey without bringing gifts, you may not be able to resist the house, and even if you enter the house, you can only sleep on the sofa.
But in this era, this is indeed considerate. If it were Princess Changle and Wu and the others knew that Su Cheng specially bought them gifts, they would probably be so moved that they would cry.
"It's also idle!" Su Cheng couldn't show his love in front of Jin Shengman, and said casually.
"What gift is the Duke of the State to buy? I can give you an idea!" Jin Shengman quickly calmed down. After all, she also knew herself. Although she was also a princess, she was incomparable to Princess Changle.
Not to mention comparing with Princess Changle, even if she is comparing with Wu Qi, she can't compare.
"Let's just take a look, I'll mainly go shopping!" Su Cheng said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, then let's go to Dongcheng. I heard that Dongcheng is very prosperous, with many golden buildings and pawn shops, and we can take a look at the scenery along the river!" Jin Shengman suggested.
