Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"How is that possible? He killed the two of us. How could the lord spare him? A little carelessness is the crime of copying the family and exterminating the family. How dare he..."

Guo Ye nodded and said: "Yes! City Lord Gao is right! It's not that Yuanhai Ziba couldn't kill us, but he didn't dare to kill us. Then again, as long as he died desperately, both of us would live No!"

"Mr. Pingyang, what do you mean?"

"As long as the Lord Gao is willing to bear the consequences of killing Yuanhai Ziba, I believe that the Lord Gao will find a way..."

Gao Xinde wanted his head like a rattle, and said: "No, no, this matter is too important. I don't have the right to kill Yuan Haiziba at all. When the time comes, His Majesty the Lord will investigate, even the King Rongliu will not be able to keep me!"

Guo Ye was like a devil in hell at this time, he was seductive to Gao Xinde, and said: "Kill Yuanhai Ziba, Mo Lizhi Yuangai Suwen will lose an arm, Rongliu County King will be very happy, Gao City Lord can It is a meritorious minister. Besides, we did not kill for no reason. There is a saying in our Tang Dynasty that there is no excuse for the crime. Yuan Haiziba forcibly attacked the post and took away the family members of the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, which is tantamount to rebellion. The situation is urgent, and for the sake of Goguryeo's future, Lord Gao has no choice but to kill this beast. Although it violates the court system, it is understandable to follow the power in a hurry! The king may not necessarily punish the Lord Gao!"

Hearing what he said, Gao Xinde hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said: "The king of Rongliu is happy, but this matter is bound to trigger a fierce counterattack from the Yuan family. I'm afraid the king of Rongliu won't be able to stand it for a while... Not good, I, Gao Xinde, still have to be killed. Besides, even if this is done, the Duke of Pingyang and the King of Rongliu will benefit. I, Gao Xinde, have taken such a big risk, the best result is nothing but It's nothing but nothing. Do you think I will do it?"

Guo Yexin said that what I was waiting for was your words, so he said: "Killing Yuanhai Ziba, although the Lord Gao has made a great contribution, but it is not enough to have King Rongliu fully support him. There is a big gift for King Rongliu and City Lord Gao. As long as City Lord Gao presents this item, King Rongliu will definitely protect City Lord Gao to the death!"

Gao Xinde said with a sneer: "Master Pingyang is not talking about Jiujiusheng Xianwan. Gao does not dare to accept such evil things!"

"Where, where, Jiujiushengxianwan can only be used to trap a villain like Yuanhai Zilan, how can it be dedicated to the king of Rongliu County. Since the owner of Gaocheng knows the big bank of Changlefang, who is the proprietor of Changle Fangfang Bank? "

"It's really unclear!"

"It's someone Guo!"

When Gao Xinde heard that Guo Ye said he was the proprietor of Changlefang Big Bank, his eyes shone with gold, and he said, "Mr. Pingyang, how much money are you going to give to Rongliu?"

Guo Ye shook his head and said, "I never give any money!"

Before Gao Xinde was impatient, Guo Ye continued. "Teaching people how to fish is worse than teaching people how to fish. As long as the king of Rongliu is willing to help, Guo guarantees that the income of the king of Rongliu will not be less than 100 million per year!"

"One... one... 100 million?" Gao Xinde's eyes were red, and he gritted his molars and said.

Guo Ye nodded and said, "This is still a conservative estimate!"

Gao Xinde's eyes were full of little stars, and he asked, "I don't know what to do? Can you talk to Gao?"

"It's very simple, as long as the king of Rongliu agrees that the Changlefang Bank will open a branch in Goguryeo. Guo is willing to donate 100% of the shares to all the Changlefang Banks in Koguryo! If the income of the bank is less than [-] million guan in any year, it will be all counted." On someone Guo! As for City Lord Gao..."

"How about it?"

"Guo also gave City Lord Gao [-]% of the shares!"

"Then every year isn't two... two... two... two..." Gao Xinde was so excited that he stuttered, and nothing came out after a long time.

"25 sticks per year! How much is not too much!"

What is the concept of 25 guan? 25 Guan is equivalent to his income in two lifetimes!

Is money important, or life important?Gao Xinde is faced with a difficult choice.

Guo Ye's words rang faintly in his ears, "City Lord Gao will be the God of Wealth of King Rongliu in the future. Are you afraid that King Rongliu won't support you? If King Rongliu has money, he is bound to be powerful in the court. Increase. The Yuan family probably has too much time to take care of themselves, and still has the mind to take care of the affairs of the Lord Gao? The risk of this matter is not as great as the Lord Gao imagined... Besides, Yuan Haizi committed crimes under the tyrants, if it hadn’t been the last time By mistake, I'm afraid that Lord Gao has already been escorted to Pyongyang for questioning and beheading, Yuan Haiziba is not polite to you, can you bear it?"

Gao Xinde hesitated, "This...the key is to help you Tang people kill Goguryeo people, Gao is really..."

Guo Ye hit the iron while the iron was hot, and added the last straw to Gao Xinde, "If the Lord Gao does not agree, Guo can only give the formula of Jiujiusheng Xianwan to Yuan Haiziba. Jiujiushengxianwan falls to Lord Gao is well aware of the consequences of Yuanhai Ziba’s hands? Could it be that Gaocheng mainly sat by and watched Jiujiushengxianwan poison Goguryeo for his own selfishness? Is the reputation of Lord Gao important, or the millions of people in Goguryeo? ? What is great benevolence and great righteousness, what is small benevolence and small righteousness? The Goguryeo court was very kind to Lord Gao, and they sacrificed their lives for righteousness, right now..."

After Gao Xinde heard this, his face didn't blush, he didn't sweat any more, and his eyes didn't get confused any more. He stood up against the table and shouted: "Okay, for the sake of the common people in the world, for the sake of righteousness, I, Gao Xinde, are willing to Kill Yuanhai Ziba!"

Seeing that Gao Xinde agreed, Guo Yechang heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "My son wants to go to Chang'an to study, I think he should leave in two days!"

Of course Gao Xinde understands what Guo Ye means, if he is not careful in planning such a major event, his reputation will be ruined, and Guo Ye wants to take a hostage in his hands.Anyway, his son's study abroad in Chang'an was already planned, so he nodded in agreement.This matter is not harmful to him. If Chengyuan Haiziba is not killed, his son is far safer in Datang than in Goguryeo.

After the goal is set, it is time to discuss the specific details. Guo Ye asked: "How to kill Yuan Haiziba is up to City Lord Gao, and someone Guo is willing to obey!"

Gao Xinde laughed loudly, and said: "Don't bother Duke Pingyang, killing Yuan Haiziba is like killing a dog's ears! Put it on someone Gao!"

Guo Ye said with a smile: "If that's the case, then Guo will wait and see!"

Chapter 1281

After sending Gao Xinde away, Sun Zishan boldly asked: "Teacher, do you really want to give Rongliu County King 100 million guan every year? Is it too much?"

Guo Ye said: "As long as the Changlefang big bank is spread all over Goguryeo, there will be at least 300 million guan in revenue every year. I'd better say less about 100 million guan!"

"With so much money, just exchange it for a Yuanhai Ziba, the disciple always feels..."

Guo Ye laughed, and said: "If there is no shareholding from King Rongliu, the Changlefang Big Bank can only be shrunk in the Tang Dynasty. We can't get a cent of Goguryeo's gold, and now we can get more than 100 million coins every year. What are we dissatisfied with!"

Turtle Dove said: "With the cover of the big bank in Changlefang, Dong... we can send more spies to infiltrate Goguryeo to find out what's true in Goguryeo. This is something you can't buy with a million coins!" He originally wanted to talk about Dongchang. When Master Changsun was present, he quickly changed his words.

Guo Ye went on to say: "The most important point is that the Duke of Rongliu and Mo Lizhiyuan Gai Suwen are at odds with each other, and they are fighting happily. Now the Duke of Rongliu is at a disadvantage, so we have to pay for him Put, let the two sides balance. Killing Yuan Haiziba this time will inevitably intensify the conflict between them. I don’t know how many outstanding people in Goguryeo will lose power in this internal struggle, and even lose their lives. Goguryeo’s court is unstable. I am blessed by the Tang Dynasty!"

Early the next morning, Gao Xinde sent two invitations, one to Guo Ye and one to Yuan Haiziba.Ask them to come to the city lord's mansion to discuss matters.

Yuanhai Ziba was really careful, he brought [-] guards, and the commander of the guards was an old acquaintance.It was Sun Daiyin who led the team to surround the Guanyi that day.

Gao Xinde stood at the gate of the mansion, said with a smile: "Master Yuan, thank you for your kindness, please come in quickly!"

Yuan Haiziba sneered, and said: "We have nothing to talk about, so let's talk about it here! To be honest, you hooked up with that Guo Ye, someone from Yuan can't be trusted with you!"

Gao Xinde said: "Master Yuan, although there are many discords between us, no matter how you say it, you and I are both from Goguryeo. Can I still help outsiders deal with you? To tell you the truth, it is Guo Ye who supports us. Don't stop, beg me to ask you for favors!"

Yuan Haiziba showed his face, and said: "City Master Gao, you said that well, we are all from Goguryeo, we just have to be consistent with the outside world. What is the saying in Datang? Brothers raped together or something..."

And this word?Gao Xinde racked his brains, said: "You mean 'brothers guard against their insults outside the wall'?"

"Yes! That's what I mean. Let me tell you, Lord Gao. Datang has no good intentions for our Goguryeo, and this Guo Ye is not a good thing. Lord Gao should be more careful with him! You can't hit someone Yuan at him! "

Gao Xinde said: "Why am I facing him? You know, I just have such a little problem. I just don't see people dangling gold in front of my eyes. If it's not for the sake of gold, Who cares about him Guo Ye! I don’t care what kind of Tang Dynasty angel shit, I am an official of our Goguryeo, and I get the salary of Goguryeo, of course it has to go to our Goguryeo.”

Gao Xinde paused for a moment, then continued: "I understand that this Tang Dynasty is just a fake. It looks powerful, but it's just that. When this Guo Ye first came to our Liaodong City, he was so arrogant. By you It’s not that there is nothing wrong with City Lord Yuan’s handling. If we want to fight against Datang, we have to be someone like City Lord Yuan! Although we have different loyalties, we have no personal grudges. For City Lord Yuan, Mr. Gao is convinced now!”

Yuan Haiziba was quite pleased with what he heard, and said: "Actually, whoever becomes the ruler in the future is none of our business. No matter how we turn, it won't be the turn of the two of us. If we fight hard, it will be a waste of our Goguryeo's national strength. For a few days, I really lost my head, and when I dealt with Guo Ye, I even wanted to take City Lord Gao with me, but now that I think about it, I really shouldn't!"

"Where is it? Speaking of which, Gao Xinde is also at fault. I can't see your Yuan family..."

Under Gao Xinde's flattery, the two talked more and more speculatively, and they had the meaning of meeting each other and smiling at each other.

After talking for a long time, Gao Xinde suddenly said: "Oh, look at my brain, let's not just talk here. Please come to the mansion. That kid Guo Ye has already arrived, and we have been hanging out for a long time! Hurry up Please come inside! All brothers, please come inside!"

Yuan Hai Ziba was quite embarrassed at this time, and said: "It doesn't take so many people, I can just bring dozens of people, and the others let them go back!"

Gao Xinde put a stern face on his face, and said: "What's the matter? Isn't this me, Gao Xinde, treating all the brothers slowly? Please invite everyone! Please invite everyone! I have prepared all the good wine and food inside! Said To be honest, I don’t need to pay for these dishes, they are all prepared by Guo Ye’s grandson, we don’t want to eat for free!”

Entering the city lord's mansion, Yuanhai Ziba took a look, and sure enough, banquets were set up in every room, waiting for people to sit in.

Yuan Hai Ziba would not simply believe in Gao Xinde, he winked at Sun Daiyin, Sun Daiyin arranged for the guards to sit, but there were about [-] guards who neither drank nor ate, just followed Yuan Hai Ziba around.

Gao Xinde didn't think it was disobedient, as if he didn't see it, he called Yuan Haiziba to go inside.When I reached the backyard, I saw a table of banquets in the octagonal gazebo. Guo Ye was sitting here alone, with no one else around.
