A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

"I don't think so." Songtsan Gampo said, "Yuan Gai Suwen caused Goguryeo to suffer a lot. After everything calms down, Goguryeo needs to recover. The King of Goguryeo thinks it's not the same. He wants to make Goguryeo To improve the country's national strength, it is necessary to attack the Wa country, and only the blood of the Wa country can nourish the wounded Goguryeo."

"How do you say that?" Di Renjie smiled, as if he was asking Yuan Gai Suwen the question.

"It's actually very simple." Songtsan Gampo went on to say, "When Goguryeo was in peace, the national strength was rising. The children were born again and again, and the strength would continue to rise. With more cultivation, the food would also increase. With These two conditions can do more things, just like the trade between the Tang Dynasty and Western countries, but after the chaos, how many people died in the war, the population declined sharply, a good Goguryeo just put the national power Back to a hundred years ago."

"The current king of Koguryo is thinking about restoring national strength. If he wants Goguryeo to not be suppressed by the Tang Dynasty, he must keep up with the pace of the Tang Dynasty. It will take a long time to recover year after year. I want to speed up this speed. We are going to attack the Wa country."

Di Renjie nodded, "If I can't get enough of this glass of wine, I'll drink someone else's so that I can get my fill."

"That's the truth." Songtsan Gampo nodded.

"You can't beat it, you can't beat it!" said the Japanese monk locked at the other end, "They all fell into Gu Qing's trap, mantis catching cicadas and orioles are behind! It's over, it's all over, if you can't catch up with Datang, there is Gu Qing I can't catch up now."

"It seems that you must have a great opinion." Di Renjie looked at the monk and said, "Tell me your great opinion."

Since the return from the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, this Japanese monk has been imprisoned here. Di Renjie charged him with a crime. Whether this Japanese monk can go out depends on his own decision. It is his own word to go out. He wants this Japanese monk to stay. Here is also my own sentence, sometimes power is wonderful.

The Japanese monk smiled bitterly, "From the first time I saw Gu Qing, my bad luck will continue. Sometimes it may be a coincidence, but once or twice is not a coincidence. I have been sitting in this cell for so many days. This is how I feel. It suddenly dawned on me that Gu Qing had been working on this situation for a long time, conquering Goguryeo? That was all a cover! A small Goguryeo is not in Gu Qing's appetite."

"During the Eastern Expedition to Koguryo, he was also teasing the Japanese country. After the Eastern Expedition, he was still looking at the Japanese country, and now he is still building a port in the East China Sea." The Japanese monk said in a low voice, "This Gu Qing is going every step of the way, peeling off the cocoon of a game of chess. Having seen Goguryeo, his goal is to destroy the Wa Kingdom, Gu Hou Ye, what is it about the Wa Kingdom that offended you."

The Japanese monk raised his head and sighed, "It's not the end of Goguryeo, but the end of the Wa country."

Di Renjie smiled while drinking his drink.

"You help me tell Gu Qing." The Japanese monk said, "I know there is a truth in the Central Plains, which is called the crime of embracing biscuits. Didn't Gu Houye take a fancy to the silver mines of our Japanese country? I am willing to return to the Japanese country to take the silver Give all the mines to Lord Gu, and only ask for the peace of the Wa country."

"You are wrong, you underestimate my teacher too much." Di Renjie said coldly, "A small Japanese country?"

"What do you mean?" the Japanese monk became excited.

"The teacher is on the verge of attacking now." Di Renjie said calmly, "This time, the whole world is watching the teacher's sea trade, whether it is the wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River, the noble families in Shandong, or the various forces in the Central Plains. It’s not against me, I put a lot of effort into this sea trade, a small Japanese country can’t satisfy the appetite of the Central Plains, and it can’t satisfy the appetite of the teacher, this time it’s the entire East China Sea.”

The Japanese monk looked at Di Renjie in a daze.

"I saw it on the teacher's map at the beginning." Di Renjie lowered his voice, "The routes are not limited to Japan, and the South China Sea from the East China Sea is also in the teacher's plan. This time, the Maritime Trade Fair will be held for a long time Years, although I don't know why the teacher took this step, I just think that for the teacher, it is worthwhile for him to do so much."

Songtsan Gampo didn’t know much about what he heard. He was born in Tubo and had never seen the East China Sea. “Is the East China Sea very big?”

"It's huge!" Di Renjie nodded, "It's very vast. The Wa Kingdom is only the first stop for the teacher, and there will be many more in the future."

Yuan Gai Su Wen was speechless, he was still thinking about the current Goguryeo, this time he sincerely hoped that the King of Goguryeo would succeed, even though the direction of the two is different, even though the two were once life and death enemies, but we are all It can be better for Goguryeo.

"The drinks are left for you." Di Renjie stood up, "It's getting late, I should go back."

"Let's go." Songtsan Gampo said while drinking.

Three days later, the war between Goguryeo and Japan covered up Gu Qing's recruitment of civilian husbands, and people turned their attention to the East China Sea.

Gu Qing slowly rode his horse towards Chang'an.

"Shang Shuling, can you hurry up?" The guard on the side urged.

After a long time, it was still the same speed. Gu Qing didn't have the slightest intention to speed up. This guy Li Er must have summoned him because of the East China Sea. When the port was being built, you liked to ignore me. Now you just want to see me like this?

It was a long and not short distance, and Gu Qing walked for more than an hour before arriving in front of Chengtian Gate, and after passing the report, he entered the palace, all the way to Ganlu Palace, Li Er was standing beside the prince.

One is the current emperor, and the other is a guy who is not far from the throne of emperor.

"Your Majesty, the minister is here." Gu Qing saluted lazily.

Facing Gu Qing's attitude, Li Er smiled disdainfully, "Come in."

"Yes!" Gu Qing walked into the hall and saluted Li Chengqian, "His Royal Highness."

"Okay! Alright!" Li Er was used to Gu Qing's casualness, "Gu Qing, tell me what you think."

"Okay." Gu Qing said with a smile, "Now is a good time to do business. Is Donghai really suitable for doing business now?"

"It's business?" Li Er was a little surprised.

"Yes, it's business?" Gu Qing nodded vigorously, "I hope His Majesty can give me a few artillery pieces. There are pirates in the sea. With artillery, you won't be afraid of those pirates."

Li Er was thoughtful, and looked at Gu Qing with a meaningful smile, as if he understood something, stood up and walked around, "You and the prince should discuss the next thing carefully, I am tired."

"Your Majesty respectfully sends you off." Li Chengqian bowed and bid farewell to Li Er, then turned to look at Gu Qing, "Shang Shuling, you and I will talk about the East China Sea."

"Okay, okay!" Gu Qing said with great interest, "Actually, there are many things in the East China Sea. I saw a big turtle as big as an island in Shanhaiguan. His Royal Highness Wu Wang and Wei Wang also saw it. When we arrive, there are many sea fish in the East China Sea, and a fish in the East China Sea is called a whale.”

"Gu... Gu Qing." Li Chengqian was in a cold sweat, "This is not what I want to talk about."

"There are more." Gu Qing turned a deaf ear and talked to himself, "There is a kind of mermaid in the sea according to legend, all of them are extremely beautiful, and they don't wear much."

Li Chengqian gasped, "Really?"

Chapter 451 Meeting the Little Monk Again

In the quiet Ganlu Palace, Gu Qing looked at Li Chengqian, "Could the crown prince be interested?"

"Gu is just asking casually." Li Chengqian resumed his serious appearance, "Shang Shuling, let me take a step to speak."

Gu Qing followed the prince all the way out of Ganlu Palace and came to the prince's east palace. The east palace has not changed much like before. The princess is leading the maids to clean the flowers and plants here. When she sees Gu Qing coming, she hurriedly salutes, "I have seen Shang Shuling."

"I've seen the princess." Gu Qing also saluted.

"Inside please." Li Chengqian invited Gu Qing into the hall.

The East Palace is not prosperous, but somewhat depressed.

"After listening to what Shang Shuling said to Emperor Father in Ganlu Hall, I have a question, is Donghai really worth all the effort?" Li Chengqian asked doubtfully.

Gu Qing hesitated for a while and said, "His Royal Highness, there are mermaids in the sea."

"Shang Shuling!" Li Chengqian spoke tirelessly, "Gu Qing, can you speak well?"

"Okay." Gu Qing said again, "His Royal Highness, the people face the loess and their backs to the sky. The end of the year depends entirely on God's will. If the sky is not beautiful, the grain will not be harvested, and if there is a catastrophe, the grain will not be harvested."

Li Chengqian naturally understood Gu Qing's words. Gu Qing hadn't come to Datang when the locust disaster happened, and he himself was still young, but he saw locusts covering the sky and covering the earth with his own eyes, and there was no vegetation left wherever he went.

"His Royal Highness." Gu Qing continued, "Actually, I want to change. The common people should not spend their days guarding a few acres of land all day long."

"I understand a little bit." Li Chengqian continued, "You want to affect everything in your village to other places in Datang, don't you? You want other places in Datang to be the same as your village."
