Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"Could it be that the king of Rongliu is out of the mansion? My son has worked hard for the country, so I don't blame him for being late."

Another half an hour passed, and King Yingyang asked again: "Where is King Rongliu?"

"..."

It's really strange today, the king of Rongliu will not come if he waits, and he won't come if he has to wait!No matter how good Yingyang King's mind is, Gao Jianwu can't think of a reason!

Yuan Gai Su Wen saw the advantage, and said: "Master, why don't you let the minister go and have a look?"

How could King Yingyang fail to see Yuan Gai Suwen's careful thinking, snorted coldly, and said, "Yang Wanchun!"

"exist!"

"Go and fetch Rongliu County King!"

After finishing speaking, he added harshly, "If you live, you want to see people, if you die, you want to see corpses!"

After half an hour, Yang Wanchun returned to his life.He was also carrying a stretcher, on which was Gao Jianwu, the king of Rongliu County, who was in a coma at this time!King Yingyang reached out and touched Gao Jianwu's forehead, it was so hot!

King Yingyang was startled and angry, and asked, "What's going on?"

"Prince Rongliu is sick!"

"Why are you sick?"

"I heard that he was splashed with cold water by the old man of Molizhi Mansion last night, and the two even had a fight over it! The Duke of Rongliu is weak, and that's it!"

"Yuan Taizuo, old man! If you don't die, you won't die, why don't you know?" King Yingyang said to himself.

In fact, King Yingyang was not particularly angry in his heart, on the contrary, there was a hint of... joy.

He doesn't care about what happened between Yuan Taizuo and Gao Jianwu, the key is that it gave him an excuse!It doesn't matter if Yuan Taizuo beat the king of Rongliu, but what if he beat the king?But the crime of ransacking the house and destroying the family.

As long as King Yingyang abdicates and King Rongliu ascends the throne, Yuan Taizuo must die!

King Yingyang thought to himself, my son Gao Jianwu is worthy of his destiny, he can help me eliminate a strong enemy in any fight!It seems that I have made the right move in passing the position of king to him!

He coughed and said: "My fellow ministers, I think that since Gao Yuan succeeded to the throne, I have worked hard and walked on thin ice. I have spent fifty springs and autumns as the lord of the country. I dare not say that I will carry forward Goguryeo, but I can do it. It can be regarded as a conservative king. Now that the king's energy is fading and time is running out, it's time to choose a new king for you!"

This sentence can stab a hornet's nest!

There was a lot of discussion under the high platform. Some people said that the king was in his prime in spring and autumn, and it would not be a problem to work for another 50 years.Some people also say that it is only natural for fathers to inherit from their sons, and there is no need to choose at all.Others say that Mo Lizhiyuan Gai Suwen is deeply favored by everyone, and he will surely be able to conquer the great unification!

King Yingyang was not in a hurry either, and watched the discussion under the stage with a smile on his face.When the voices in the audience gradually weakened, he walked up to Gao Jianwu's stretcher and said to a eunuch beside him, "Get some cold water to wake my son up!"

A few drops of cold water poured on Gao Jianwu's forehead, and he opened his eyes in a daze.I saw an old man standing next to me, and I couldn't tell who it was.A few more drops of cold water fell, and a familiar feeling came!

Gao Jianwu jumped up and slapped King Yingyang with a snap, "Old man, you poured cold water on me again!"

Chapter 1376

Gao Jianwu's slap stunned King Yingyang.

After King Yingyang became the lord at the age of 20, who ever touched a finger of him?

Now he was beaten!

It was not someone else who beat him, but his own son!

Is there anything more absurd in the world than this?

He grabbed Gao Jianwu's neck and scolded, "Little bastard, how dare you do anything to me?"

How could Gao Jianwu be unfamiliar with Yingyang King's voice?

He just woke up in a daze just now, and it didn't really burn his brain out.

Gao Jianwu took a closer look, isn't this the father Yingyang King?Thinking of what he did just now, he was so scared to death!On the spot, my whole body broke out in cold sweat, and my mind was extremely clear!

He quickly knelt down on his knees, knocked his head, and said, "Father, please forgive me! My son was dazzled just now, I didn't know it was you! If I knew, I wouldn't dare to kill me!"

Of course King Yingyang knew that he didn't do it on purpose, but he knew that he knew, how to solve this matter?In public, he was slapped by his son!Next to them are Duke Pingyang of Datang and Princess Deman of Silla!Not only can this matter not be suppressed, but it has to be spread to the world after these two return to China.

Maybe in the history books of later generations, it will be recorded that King Yingyang was unable to control the government in his later years, was slapped by his son, and was forced to pass on the throne!This fucker is more terrifying than leaving a bad smell for thousands of years!

If a person wants to be infamous for thousands of years, he must have two brushes. How many Shang Zhou kings can there be in history?But for today's matter, he didn't have a bad reputation for thousands of years, but a worthless one for thousands of years!King Longyang's reputation is not good, but the reputation of being a wimp is even worse!

Yuan Gai Su Wen had given up on the position of the king. Seeing this scene, his heart was full of fighting spirit again——if there is a destiny, it still belongs to me, Yuan Gai Su Wen!

He bowed again and said: "The king of Rongliu County is seriously ill. This is an unintentional mistake. I hope the king will take it lightly."

King Yingyang said: "Stop it lightly? How can you be lighthearted?"

Yuan Gai Su Wen said: "Rongliu County King beat up my father today, and committed a crime of disobedience. According to the law, he must be executed. However, as the saying goes, the poison of a tiger does not eat its offspring, and the Rongliu County King is your own son." Son, if the lord of the country treats you like this, you may hurt your reputation as a benevolent monarch. I also ask the lord of the country to show mercy outside the law and spare him his death!"

King Yingyang said: "Death crimes can be forgiven, but living crimes cannot be forgiven. Mo Lizhi, according to your opinion, what punishment should be given to King Rongliu?"

"In addition to the death penalty, there are four other punishments in my court: exile, imprisonment, rod, and flogging. The king can choose one. Grace comes from above, and I dare not say more!"

"Okay, then sentence King Rongliu to one..."

Seeing that Gao Jianwu was about to finish playing, Guo Ye couldn't sit still, he quickly interrupted King Yingyang, and said, "King of Liaodong County, can I say a few words about this matter?"

"Pingyang County official has something to say, please."

"From my point of view, Duke Rongliu's move can only be regarded as a small fault. Mo Lizhi's crime of disobedience is really too much, and he will be punished!"

Yuan Gai Suwen sneered and said, "Small demerits? Beating my father is considered a minor demerit? Is it not a crime of disobedience to beat your father in your Tang Dynasty? Sure enough, it is a kingdom of heaven, and the customs and even the laws are different from our Goguryeo! Gai Suwen Today is an eye-opener!"

Guo Ye smiled slightly, and said: "Beating an old man is a crime of disobedience, of course it is true. In my Tang Dynasty, no matter whether this person is innocent or not, it is a capital crime! No mercy! But..."

"But what?"

"However, who said that the King of Rongliu beat His Majesty the Lord just now? Mo Lizhi...you were delusional just now! Just now, a bug landed on the face of the Lord, and the King of Rongliu looked at it. In a hurry, I rushed for the king."

"Nonsense, it's only March now, where did the bug come from? Duke Pingyang, you're talking nonsense!"

Guo Ye said: "There are all kinds of wonders in the world. A small bug flies by by chance. What's the big deal? Don't make a fuss about Mo Lizhi. Besides, I, Mr. Guo, saw this with my own eyes. How can it be faked?"

Yuan Gai Suwen's nose was so angry that he said, "See it with your own eyes? What a eloquent tongue! Then I'm surprised, how come you saw it with your own eyes, and the rest of us didn't?"

Guo Ye said: "You are wrong, not only I saw it, but other people saw it too. Father-in-law, have you seen it?"

Yang Wanchun said: "That's right, what the virtuous son-in-law said is true! Not only did I see it, but after the bug flew away, it even landed on the old man's face, it's really annoying!"

"Hmph, the two of you are relatives, and if you work together, I'm afraid it will be difficult to block the mouth of the world!"

Guo Ye smiled and said nothing, and winked at Kinderman.
