Although Yang Guang asked tactfully, Gao Liansheng also heard that Yang Guang wanted to ask about the physical condition of his nephew, Goguryeo King Goto, and hurriedly replied: "Cheng Wang Ye inquired, the little old man returned to his homeland this time, it can be said that there is no danger, and everything is going well." The king of the old country was indeed seriously ill a few months ago, and urgently summoned me back to China, and I wanted to entrust the matter after death, but I did not expect to meet a god outside the world, and gave my king a few elixirs to revive the dead. ”

"Oh? It is really gratifying that there are such immortals in this world! Yang Guangben didn't believe that there were real immortals in the world, but when he saw that Gao Liansheng was serious, he had to follow his heart to congratulate him.

"Don't hide it from the prince. Before I returned to Bingzhou, I sincerely invited this living immortal to come with me to meet the prince. Gao Liansheng took advantage of the situation to curry favor with Yang Guang.

"So, is this fairy here? This king really wants to see the style of the living immortals! Yang Guang asked with a smile on the slope of the donkey.

Gao Liansheng suddenly looked embarrassed, hesitated for a moment, and then replied hesitantly: "However, as soon as this living immortal heard that I invited him to come to Bingzhou to meet the prince, he deduced that he was not feeling well, no matter how the little old man persuaded him, he insisted on refusing to come with the little old man......"

"Why is that? Could it be that there is something wrong with the king and this immortal? Yang Guang smiled and asked unintentionally.

According to him, the prince re-advocated Buddhism in the governors of Hebei Province and built temples extensively, which was quite suspected of promoting Buddha and suppressing Taoism, and he was a Taoist scholar, unless the prince promised to correct the name of Taoism and build nineteen Taoist temples in the state capitals under his rule, he would not come to see the prince. Ahem. Gao Liansheng was forced to ask by Yang Guang, so he had to answer truthfully.

Yang Guang was stunned by him: he didn't expect that he would re-advocate Buddhism and build a Buddhist temple, but he was invisibly blamed on Taoism. However, he immediately smiled and said: "Buddhism and Taoism stand side by side, and there are thousands of ...... Hundreds of years of history, a few years ago, the king for the sake of the previous Emperor Wu to sterilize the Buddha, only to correct the wrong, in the Hebei Province under the rule of the state of the re-advocating Buddhism, the construction of Buddhist temples, but did not incur the Taoist dissatisfaction with the king. Anyway, if the financial resources are sufficient in the future, the king can consider fulfilling the wish of this living immortal and building a Taoist temple in each of the nineteen state capitals under his rule. At that time, I have to bother Boss Gao to try to invite this living immortal to meet this king. ”

Gao Liansheng heard that Yang Guang was mostly a joke, and it was not a real promise, so he smiled indifferently, did not pick up the stubble, but changed the topic, and reported to Yang Guangyu: "Lord Qiyu, Xiao Lao'er was urgently recalled to China this time, and during his residence in the country, he also persuaded me that the king did something that was conducive to the friendship between Goguryeo and the Great Sui, but unfortunately he failed to do it very satisfactorily......

Yang Guang knew that Gao Liansheng was going to go and returning, and he must have begged him to allow him to open a branch in Bingzhou and expand trade routes, but after hearing his words at this time, he didn't think that he, a profit-hungry businessman, could do anything that was conducive to the friendship between Goguryeo and the Great Sui, and only thought that he wanted to use this matter to open his mouth to beg himself to agree to what he wanted, so he asked casually: "In this way, I bothered to teach Boss Gao, I don't know what is going on?" ”

"Xiao Lao'er has been doing business in Chang'an for many years, and I have heard people say in the past that the court blames our king for taking in Gao Baoning, the former defeated general of Qi, so he took the opportunity of returning to his homeland this time to try his best to persuade my king to send Gao Baoning back to the Great Sui to show his sincerity in friendship with the Great Sui. But ......"

Yang Guang listened to Gao Liansheng's words, and his eyes immediately lit up: he still clearly remembers that in the first year of the emperor's reign, it was the former Qi remnant general Gao Baoning and the Turkic Five Khans who joined forces to invade the south, which opened the prelude to the continuous fire and conquest in the north. Although Uncle Dangjin wanted to force Goguryeo King Goguryeo to repatriate Goguryeo on the grounds of marching to conquer Goguryeo, Goguryeo never gave a satisfactory answer. Over the years, Gao Baoning's residence in Goguryeo has also become a stumbling block on the road to further harmony between the two countries.

To Yang Guang's sincere surprise, Gao Lian, who had risen to become a businessman, could actually think of persuading his nephew Gao Tang to repatriate Gao Baoning to the Great Sui to restore and promote relations between the two countries, which shows his intention to do business between the two countries for a long time in the future.

Yang Guang even thought that if things were really as Gao Liansheng said, no matter whether Gao Tang listened to persuasion or not, he would agree to Gao Liansheng's request to open a branch in Bingzhou on the spot as a reward for him.

"Lord Wang, please be more tolerant." Gao Liansheng raised his eyes and saw Yang Guangzheng staring at him with blazing eyes, expecting to hear a satisfactory result from his mouth, so he had to swallow his saliva, his tone changed, and he said stubbornly, "Although my king listened to Xiao Lao'er's advice, he didn't know what considerations, he failed to return that Gao Baoning to the hands of the Great Sui court, but only drove him out of the Goguryeo border and let him flee to other places to settle down. However, Xiao Lao'er inquired that after Gao Baoning was driven out of Goguryeo, he had now fled into Turkic territory. ”

"Is this information accurate?" Although Yang Guang was dissatisfied with the refusal of Goguryeo King Gao Tang to hand over Gao Baoning directly to the imperial court, as soon as he heard that Gao Baoning had fled into Turkic territory, he couldn't help but stand up and ask Gao Lian about his ascension.

When Gao Baoning was driven out of Goguryeo, Xiao Lao'er sent his cronies to follow him all the way and saw him enter the Turkic territory. However, that was nearly a month ago, and now whether he is still in the Turkic territory, Xiao Lao'er does not dare to ask the prince for this package ticket. ”

"Boss Gao, it is already very difficult for you to persuade Gao Tang to expel Gao Baoning." Seeing Wang Shao, Li Che, and Zhang Heng, three important subordinates, walking into the hall with each other, Yang Guang said to Gao Liansheng, "You mentioned to this king that you want to open a branch in Bingzhou to do business, and this king can agree to your request now, and order General Yu Xiaoren to help you and open a business in Bingzhou as soon as possible, so as to express this king's gratitude to you." However, you must remember that you must not tell anyone about Gao Baoning's current Turkic affairs. Okay, you can go down with Hyoren to rest first. ”

After Gao Liansheng expressed his gratitude to Yang Guang for agreeing so readily to him to open a branch in Bingzhou, he followed Yu Xiaoren out of Jinyang Palace and returned to the pavilion to rest. (Making an exception to settle Gao Liansheng in the pavilion can be regarded as a preferential treatment given to him by Yang Guang) (once literary network,)
