Chastity Layman 2

Chapter 665 Yuangai Suwen
Zhang Chao pushed the door open and entered.

"Wei Gong, the Goguryeo people are here," Zhang Chao put the prepared list of Goguryeo envoys on Qin Lang's table, "Those Goguryeo people seem to be very angry. Gai Suwen's guy, Niu Honghong wears five knives on his body, but he still refuses to hand over the knives, yelling that he is a master from the east, isn't he taking advantage of me? If he dares to call himself a master, I will Taught him a lesson."

Qin Lang was surprised when he heard the name Gai Suwen.

Gai Suwen seems quite familiar. After thinking about it carefully, could it be Yuan Gai Suwen, the powerful minister in the history of Goguryeo?At this time, it was called Gai Suwen, probably to avoid tabooing Li Yuan, so the word in front of the name was removed.Yuan Gai Suwen, Yuan Taizuo, Yuan Boy, Yuan Ziyou, all seem to have the surname Yuan.

"Master Dongfang is the hereditary title of Naquangaisuwen's family, and it's not to take advantage of you."

At this time, the adult has the meaning of a father, and if he dares to call himself an adult, it is equivalent to calling himself Laozi in front of others.

"Grandpa in the east? What kind of official position is this?"

"After all, they are barbarians. They are different from Huaxia. You didn't do anything to Gai Suwen, did you?"

"No, I just punched him twice, Xiao Mian, and wanted to fight back with me, and I didn't even look at the number of brothers behind me. If it wasn't for the Goguryeo prince to intercede, I would have killed this kid directly. Now I am asking my brother to fork him out of the house." gone outside."

Qin Lang chuckled, never would have thought that the famous Goguryeo official in history would be treated like this in the Tang Dynasty.

"Okay, let the prince Gao Hengquan come in, and let Gai Suwen come in too."

"This kind of rude barbarian just let him stay outside."

"Let's talk business, let's go."

A moment later, a tall young man with panda eyes accompanied another young man in with an aggrieved expression on his face.

"Mr. Wei, I would like to ask you how dare your servant beat me, Lord Goguryeo. This is the ambassador of my embassy. His father, grandfather, and great-grandfather have all served as my Goguryeo's great opponent. It is equivalent to the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty, Gai Suwen is now the Lord of the East, and is also equivalent to your chief governor, how dare your lowly servant beat a nobleman, Gu must ask you for an explanation!"

The young Goguryeo prince Gao Hengquan is a bit slender, with a flat face with single eyelids and high cheekbones, and a mouth that speaks blunt and awkward Chinese, and he even made a lot of mistakes when he was anxious.

Qin Lang raised a finger and interrupted him.

"First of all, this is Datang. You can call yourself a widow in your Koguryo land, but in Datang, you are not qualified to call me a widow. Your father, Gao Jianwu, is just me, Datang. He is only a Liaodong county king, and he is not qualified to be called an orphan in the Tang Dynasty."

"Secondly, you said that your entourage is so distinguished, but in the Tang Dynasty, you are only a minister of the country. Also, the one who beat him was not my servant, but a meritorious soldier of the Tang Dynasty. He participated in the eradication with me just now In the battle of the Tuyuhun Kingdom, because of his meritorious service, he was honored as a sixth-rank Shangqi captain, and he was regarded as a fifth-rank captain. He was also awarded a sixth-rank Shangzhenwei school captain by the imperial court! He was named Bailu male!"

"Whether your entourage is the master of the east or the grandfather of the west in Goguryeo, that is your own business. When you arrive in the Tang Dynasty, you dare to call yourself a master with a meritorious officer. It's no one's fault for looking for a fight. It's only his fault before he speaks." To not think about cultural differences first is to bring shame on yourself.”

"Before we get down to business, I'm here to solemnly remind you, first, don't call yourself lonely anymore, and second, don't call yourself an adult anymore. Finally, you asked Gai Suwen to apologize to my subordinate solemnly. We won't bother to pursue the matter any more!"

Qin Lang's words made the faces of Prince Gao Hengquan and Yuan Gai Su Wenqi turn pale.

"Is this what a big country does to bully others?" Gao Hengquan shouted angrily.

"The prince is still young, so some of the things he said are wrong, so I don't care about the truth. The peace and friendship between Goguryeo and Datang these years is what your father and king have worked so hard to win, but Mo said because he was young and frivolous. And ruined this great situation!"

"In the second year of Wude and the fourth year of Wude, your father sent envoys twice to ask for repairs. In the fifth year of Wude, he took the initiative to return more than [-] exiled Han Chinese who were stranded in Goguryeo, and sent them as guests. Return to the Tang Dynasty. My Tang Dynasty was moved by this, and I specially released many Goguryeo captives brought back by Zheng Liao during the Sui Dynasty."

"In the seventh year of Wude, the Supreme Emperor sent Shen Shu'an, Minister of the Ministry of Justice, to Goguryeo, canonized your father as the king of Shangzhu Kingdom, Liaodong County, and King of Goguryeo, and also sent Taoist priests to bring the statue of heaven and Taoism to preach to you Laozi."

"In the ninth year of Wude, Silla Baekje wrote to the Tang Dynasty, saying that you closed the roads so that they could not enter the pilgrimage. reconcile."

"In the second year of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty defeated the Turks and captured Jieli Khan. Your father also sent envoys to congratulate the Tang Dynasty and presented a map of sealing the border."

"Last year when I destroyed Tuyuhun again in the Tang Dynasty, your father even sent you, a prince, to congratulate him as a token of submission. Don't you understand your father's good intentions? How dare you act presumptuously in front of the truth?"

A presumptuous sentence leaked murderous intent, and the young Koguryo prince couldn't help but lower his head.

"Goguryeo, there are only four counties, which is far different from Turkic and Tuyuhun. Our Tang Dynasty has millions of soldiers and countless generals. If we want to destroy Goguryeo Taiyier, the truth is that we only need to lead tens of thousands of troops to attack Liaodong, and the cities will definitely come. It will be very easy for the imperial court to send another general from Dongnae to Pyongyang at that time, but the world has just been peaceful, and the Tang Dynasty does not want to work for the common people anymore."

Yuangai Suwen was tall and handsome, but his black eyes made him a little embarrassed. As the son of Goguryeo's rival Lu, he has always been a domineering person in the country, although after his father died, he had no achievements due to his youth. , failed to inherit the position of Da Duo Lu, and was made Da Duo Lu by Wei Zhi Wende, an outsider who was famous in the Sui Zhengliao War, but the position of Dongfang Master was still hereditary.

Moreover, in the Goguryeo system, Yuangai Suwen, as the master of the east, possessed great power, with many soldiers, a vast area, and many trilogy. Even the king in the country had to pay three respects.

This time I came to Datang, I also intended to get a glimpse of the reality of Datang, and at the same time I was young, I wanted to see the prosperity of Chang'an in Datang for myself, but I was humiliated by this.

Immediately unconvinced,
"At that time, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty sent 30 million troops to attack Liaodong three times, but he failed every time. Yu Wenshu and others led the Ninth Army with 10 soldiers to attack Pyongyang to protect his children from Fuhai. What happened? Defeat, defeat and loss? Tens of thousands of people died in Koguryo, and now, the Jingguan built by hundreds of thousands of corpses of the Sui army is still standing in the ancient battlefield of Liaodong!"

"Presumptuous!" Qin Lang scolded.

"Only by you, are you qualified to criticize my former king of the Central Plains? Just by you, dare to insult my soldiers of the Han family?"

"Come here, beat me out of this arrogant and arrogant minister of the country!"

Zhang Chao led a few Khitan warriors in from the outside. The Khitans and the Goguryeo people had always had disputes in Liaodong. They had never liked the Goguryeo people, so they were ordered to smash them with sticks. Run away in embarrassment.

Gao Hengquan didn't expect that Mr. Tang would be so violent, he would beat someone up after a word of disagreement, this Yuan Gai Su Wen was beaten twice.

"Okay, the arrogant and rude people have been expelled, now you have something to talk about, you came to see the truth, why did you come?" Qin Lang asked.

Gao Hengquan lost his temper at all because of Qin Lang's killing power, and was even a little scared and timid.

"I...I, I'm here to protest that Datang shouldn't sell arms to Silla and Baekje."

"Silla and Baekje asked Datang to buy armaments in order to protect themselves, and the price was right. There is no reason why Datang should not sell them. After all, they are all vassals of Datang. Of course, if Goguryeo feels that they are both Tang clans have been treated differently, so you can also ask for armaments, and we will definitely not refuse to sell them to you."

Gao Hengquan was stunned for a moment, he came to protest Datang's large-scale arms sales to Silla and Baekje, but he did not expect this to be the case now.

"Datang is really willing to sell us armaments like he did to Silla?" He didn't believe it.

"Of course, but because Gai Suwen's arrogant words just now made the truth a little angry, so I have to add additional conditions. First, my Tang Dynasty will send envoys to Goguryeo to destroy the Goguryeo people. Goguryeo must not obstruct and must fully cooperate with them, and bring the corpses of these Han soldiers back to the Central Plains. Second, the Sui soldiers and civilian husbands who were stranded in Goguryeo during the Sui Zheng and Liao Dynasties must be handed over to our envoys of the Tang Dynasty. Return to the Central Plains, send gifts out of the country, and don't stop them."

"Thirdly, Goguryeo should no longer send troops to invade and harass Silla and Baekje, which belonged to the Tang Dynasty, nor should it attack the caravans and merchant ships of the Tang Dynasty via Goguryeo."

"Fourth, in order to ensure arms sales and enhance friendship, Goguryeo must open the five cities of Liaodong, Anshi, Beisa, Bodiao, and Pyongyang as trading ports, and open the Liaohe River, Yalu River, Sashui, and Beishui to Datang merchant ships. Sailing!"

"Fifth, our Datang will also set up embassies in the five cities of Pyongyang City, Liaodong City, Beisha City, Wugu City and Domestic City. Goguryeo needs to actively cooperate and ensure the safety of the embassy and envoys."

"If you can do this, then Datang can not only liberalize the commodity trade with Goguryeo, but also fully lift the ban on weapons, armor, war horses and other armaments, and even give you the same preferential terms as Silla and Baekje."

"Think about it carefully!"

An hour later, Gao Hengquan, Crown Prince of Goguryeo, walked out of Qin Lang's public house.

Outside the yamen, Yuan Gai Su Wen came up to him with a bruised nose and a swollen face.

"General, I negotiated an arms purchase with the Duke of Wei. They promised to release arms sales for us. They are willing to give us the same price as Silla Baekje, sell us armors, and provide loans for arms purchases. We don't need to spend a penny. You can get equipment for 2 people from Datang."

After Yuan Gai Suwen asked gloomyly to understand the detailed terms of the arms purchase treaty, he was not at all happy, especially those additional conditions, he felt that Datang was harboring evil intentions.

"There will be no pies in the sky. It seems that you can borrow money to buy armaments without spending money, signing your name and stamping your seal. But in fact, we have to pay with interest in the end, but what we have to pay is our food and slaves. , cattle and horses, gold and silver, wood, medicinal materials, etc.”

Gao Hengquan was stunned for a moment, "Then shall we regret the appointment?"

"That's not necessary. These ordnance are still very good. When we get these ordnance, we will go to Silla and Baekje to retake the Han River Basin, and all the losses will be made up by then." Yuan Gai Su Wen hated road.
