Chapter 1132: Asking for the Second County

Gao Wuxian moved out of Wang Mang, just to remind Liu Xiu that Wang Mang was a thief, and the Han family should not continue to follow the decision Wang Mang made at the beginning.

It stands to reason that Gao Wuxian is not wrong, Wang Mang is indeed a usurper and a thief of the Han Dynasty, and the edict he promulgated at the beginning should also be abolished by the Han family.

After Wang Mang's death, Goguryeo should restore the name of the country, and the Marquis of Xiaguryeo should also become the king of Goguryeo.

It's just that after Wang Mang's regime was overthrown, it was Liu Xuan who took over the national power.

Liu Xuan's regime's mind was not used on the right path at all, and after becoming the master of the house, from Liu Xuan to the ministers, they were all busy collecting wealth and enjoying themselves, and who had the leisure time to take care of the bad things of Goguryeo.

After that, the Red Eyebrow Army captured Chang'an and replaced Liu Xuan's regime, and the Red Eyebrow Army was even more lazy to take care of Goguryeo's broken affairs, and from top to bottom, they were busy looting the people and looting food.

After the Red Mei Army, it was the Eastern Han Dynasty regime established by Liu Xiu.

In the early days, the Luoyang court was too busy to take care of itself, there were rebellions inside, and there were a large number of warlords outside.

In this case, the Luoyang court naturally had no heart to care about Goguryeo's affairs.

When the Luoyang court finally put down the internal rebellion and eliminated a large number of external separatist forces, the regime was finally stabilized, and Goguryeo rebelled in Youzhou again and again, jumping up and down, which made Liu Xiu's impression of Goguryeo worse and worse.

Therefore, it was originally a very simple thing, Goguryeo should have restored the national name a long time ago, but it has been delayed until now.

As the king of Goguryeo, Gao Wuxian had to come to Luoyang in person, meet Liu Xiu, and ask for the restoration of the national title in person.

After Gao Wuxian finished speaking, the hall was silent, Liu Xiu did not speak, and the ministers present did not speak.

Seeing this, Gao Wuxian frowned secretly, and was about to speak again, when Gao Xie Sezhu preemptively said: "Your Majesty, the ministers and others came and specially brought a few gifts for Your Majesty, and asked Your Majesty to take a look." ”

Liu Xiu raised his hand slightly, motioning for him to present the gift.

Gao Xie Sezhu walked to the door of the main hall and beckoned outside.

Several Goguryeo attendants walked out of the main hall with gift boxes.

The gift boxes held by the attendants were opened one by one.

The first three gift boxes are filled with ginseng, and in each gift box, there are two or three plants, looking at the size of the ginseng, it is basically all more than 100 years old ginseng, and the ginseng is also very intact.

For ordinary wealthy families, this kind of century-old ginseng is considered a treasure, but in the palace, it is not enough to look at at all.

The ministers glanced at it and didn't look any further.

When Gao Xie Sezhu opened the fourth gift box, the ministers on the scene showed surprise.

This fourth gift box also contains ginseng, but this ginseng is much larger than a century-old ginseng, and only such a ginseng plant was bumped into in the huge gift box.

"This ...... Is this millennial ginseng? ”

Wang Yuan couldn't help but exclaim.

Hundred-year-old ginseng is already uncommon, and thousand-year-old ginseng is even more rare.

In theory, ginseng really doesn't live for a thousand years, and it is well documented that ginseng that lives the longest is around five hundred years.

The so-called thousand-year-old ginseng is, at best, two or three hundred years old, but this is already extremely rare.

Hearing Wang Yuan exclaim the thousand-year-old ginseng, many of the ministers present couldn't help but stretch their necks to see what was going on.

After all, thousand-year-old ginseng only exists in legends, and only a handful of people have actually seen it.

Gao Xie Sezhu looked at Wang Yuan with a smile on his face, bowed his hand, and said, "This adult has good eyesight, this is indeed a thousand-year-old ginseng!" ”

Liu Xiu was condescending, and when he looked closely, this big ginseng plant had grown into a human shape, lying in a gift box, like a miniature version of an old man.

After looking at this ginseng, Liu Xiu nodded secretly, Gao Wuxian came this time, but he really brought treasures.

In the last two gift boxes, one contains two night pearls and the other contains ten east pearls, both of which are valuable treasures.

Liu Xiu nodded with a smile and said, "I accepted this generous gift brought by Gao Hou." ”

When Gao Wuxian heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Liu Xiuxiao asked: "When Gao Hou came to Luoyang this time, in addition to restoring the national name of Goguryeo, he should have something else to ask for, right?" ”

Gao Wuxian and Gao Xie Sezhu glanced at each other, and the former arched his hand to Liu Xiu and said, "Your Majesty, this is a little girl, Gao Jinghui." ”

As he spoke, he turned and waved at his daughter.

Gao Jinghui hurriedly saluted Liu Xiufu and said delicately: "The concubine has seen Your Majesty!" ”

Gao Wuxian said: "The minister brought the little girl Jinghui to Luoyang this time, and he planned to leave the little girl in the palace. ”

Hearing this, the ministers looked at each other.

The Goguryeo princess stayed in the palace and could not be a palace maid, so she could only be a concubine.

Gao Wuxian, this is a thousand miles away to send his daughter! Before leaving, Gao Jinghui was very unhappy about this trip to Luoyang.

Her father wanted to marry her to the emperor of the Han Dynasty, but she didn't know what the emperor of the Han Dynasty looked like, whether she was seventy or eighty, and she didn't know.

She can say that she doesn't know anything about Liu Xiu, she has no concept at all, and she is even more afraid of leaving her familiar hometown and going to a strange place.

But after arriving in Luoyang, she felt that this place was much better than her hometown, she had never seen such a prosperous and lively city, and when she saw Liu Xiu, the whole girl's heart was about to jump out of her throat.

The emperor of the Han Dynasty was completely different from what she imagined.

He is young, he seems to be about thirty years old, and his appearance is excellent, with dragon eyebrows and tiger eyes, broad shoulders and thick back, and a tall figure, but it does not make people feel burly and majestic, but is polite and very elegant.

When Gao Wuxian, Gao Xie Sezhu and Liu Xiu were talking, the little girl stood behind, secretly looked at Liu Xiu several times, and looked at Liu Xiu carefully.

Liu Xiu smiled and did not immediately make a statement.

Gao Wuxian wanted to marry his daughter to himself, Liu Xiu was not very happy, he didn't like the Goguryeo people, and he didn't have any feelings for Gao Jinghui, a little girl.

But Gao Wuxian has already opened his mouth, he can't refuse, once he refuses, it is equivalent to refuting Gao Wuxian's face in public, Dahan and Goguryeo will tie a dead knot, and next, the two sides will inevitably fight to the death, which outweighs the loss.

The hall was so quiet that Gao Jinghui couldn't help but raise her head, looking at Liu Xiu with big watery eyes without blinking.

The pitiful seductive appearance of that person made many ministers in the hall couldn't help but look stunned.

I don't know how long it took, Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Gaohou's good intentions, I have received it." ”

Gao Jinghui was overjoyed when she heard this, she was really afraid that Liu Xiu would refuse her father's proposal.

Gao Wuxian and Gao Xie Se Zhu laughed, and both arched their hands and said: "Your Majesty, in the future, Dahan and Goguryeo will be a family!" ”

People are giving generous gifts and princesses, full of sincerity, and Liu Xiu can't show it without expression.

He turned his head to Zhang Kun and said: "Proposed decree, from now on, Xia Juli will restore the name of Goguryeo, and Xia Guli will be restored to the king of Goguryeo, and give Gao Wuxian the title of King Zhuliu!" ”

Liu Xiu's words made Gao Wuxian and Gao Xie Zhu overjoyed.

Don't look at Goguryeo and Xiaguryeo, Wang and Hou, just the names are different, and they seem to have no substantial impact on Goguryeo at all, but in fact, for the surrounding countries, the influence of the Han Dynasty is great.

If you call yourself king, it's useless, no other country will recognize this kind of self-proclaimedness, only if you get the canonization of the Han Emperor, this is official, orthodox, and can be recognized by all countries.

Gao Wuxian and Gao Xie Se both knelt down and kowtowed, and said loudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen!" ”

Gao Jinghui also knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Liu Xiu smiled, waved his hand and said, "Everyone, please get up!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The three of them stood up.

Gao Wuxian couldn't hide the joy on his face, and said to Liu Xiu: "Your Majesty, the minister still has a reluctant request!" ”

"Speak!"

"Your Majesty, my country's territory is too small, I hope Your Majesty can give me the two counties of Lelang and Xuansu to Goguryeo!"

Between speaking, Gao Wuxian bowed to the ground.

This is the focus of Gao Wuxian's trip to Luoyang! The corners of Liu Xiu's mouth rose, and he said slowly: "The two counties of Lelang and Xuansu are the territories pioneered by Gaozu, and they have been owned by the Han Dynasty for generations, so how can I send these two counties to your Goguryeo?" ”

Liu Xiuhui refused, Gao Wuxian was not surprised, he cleared his throat, and said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, the land of Goguryeo is still small, but there are many clansmen.

The small land cannot support so many people.

In order to survive, the clansmen can only expand outward, and the ministers can't stop it, and this will inevitably lead to chaos in the two counties of Lelang and Xuansu, and I hope Your Majesty will think twice! ”

Gao Wuxian said it very politely, but the meaning of his words was a cold warning.

If you don't give me the two counties of Lelang and Xuansu to Goguryeo, these two counties will not want to stop in the future, they will only continue to fight.

His words were not exactly a warning, when Gao Wuxian was about to arrive in Luoyang, as many as 2,000 Goguryeo soldiers invaded Lelang County and looted on a large scale.

Liu Xiule looked at Gao Wuxian and said: "The people of Youzhou, the people have always been fierce, if there are unscrupulous people who break into Youzhou, it will be unlucky!" ”

As he spoke, he looked up and smiled.

The ministers present burst into laughter.

Gao Wuxian was not angry, and as soon as the conversation changed, he was polite with Liu Xiu again, and talked about some irrelevant gossip.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Liu Xiuren settled Gao Wuxian, Gao Xie Sezhu, and Gao Jinghui in Xiyuan.

The West Garden is located in Guo District and is one of the royal gardens in Luoyang.

Like Haolong Garden, Pingle Garden, West Garden, Shanglin Garden, Guangcheng Garden, etc., these are the royal gardens of Luoyang, which are used for the Son of Heaven to escape the summer and entertain and recreation.

However, Liu Xiu is not a man who is happy to have fun, and most of the gardens are idle.

When he arrived in Xiyuan, Gao Wuxian asked Gao Jinghui to rest, and he and Gao Xie Sezhu got together to discuss the affairs of Lelang and Xuansu County.

Gao Xie Se Zhu frowned and said: "Brother Wang, the younger brother sees that His Majesty's attitude is very resolute, and he wants to ask His Majesty for Lelang and Xuansu, but it is difficult to do so!" ”

Gao Wuxian waved his hand and said with a smile: "Not necessarily! Liu Xiu's attitude is resolute now, and that is because the news of Lelang County has not reached Luoyang. ”

Seeing Gao Xie Sezhu's puzzled face, Gao Wuxian said: "According to the time calculation, our two thousand soldiers have entered Lelang County, and now they should turn Lelang County upside down." ”

Gao Xie Sezhu gasped and asked in a low voice, "Brother Wang, if this news reaches Luoyang, we will ...... Isn't it dangerous? ”

They are now in the capital of the people, and on the other side, they also sent troops to attack Lelang County in Youzhou, after Liu Xiu learned about this, wouldn't he be angry with them?

Gao Wuxian said with a smile: "When the two countries go to war, they still don't kill the envoys, not to mention that I am the dignified King of Goguryeo, and I came to meet the Son of Heaven, does Liu Xiu dare to kill me?"

Don't you want the face of his great man?

Besides, I made it very clear in the palace just now, what should we do if our Goguryeo territory is too small and there are too many clansmen to survive?

can only send troops to invade Lelang County, since Liu Xiu refuses to give Lelang County to us, no wonder our soldiers 'wandered' to Lelang County to make trouble! ”

Gao Xie Se Zhu sighed secretly and exclaimed: "It turns out that Brother Wang has already made arrangements!" ”

Gao Wuxian shrugged his shoulders, and said with a smile: "Liu Xiu doesn't give the two counties of Lelang and Xuansu, these two counties will not be peaceful in the future, I want to see how long Liu Xiu can hold these two counties!" ”

Gao Xie Sezhu said with a smile: "If you can really bring these two counties down, Brother Wang's merits to Goguryeo are far greater than those of the two generations of previous kings!" ”

Gao Wuxian was the third king of Goguryeo, his father was Gojumong, the king of Liulimyeong, and the first king of Goguryeo was the King of the Golden Frog.

The name of the Golden Frog King sounds very mysterious, in fact, it is indeed quite mysterious, and there is no clear record of the Golden Frog King in the history books, and the origin of the Golden Frog King comes from mythological stories.
