"What, so fast?" When Li Su heard the news, he immediately stood up from his chair in shock, walked back and forth in the cabin for a few steps, and suddenly turned around and said, "Zhou Kun, you tell me the details!" "In history, Yuangai Suwen did kill King Rongliu, although the time Li Su can't remember clearly, but it is definitely not the eleventh year of Zhenguan.

"Yes! Although Goguryeo appeared to be a complete country on the surface, it was actually divided into two factions, the north was dominated by the military generals led by the Yuan family, who controlled most of Goguryeo's military and government, and the south was dominated by the ministers who supported King Yeongliu. In the past, when Eji Wende was alive, these civil servants in the south could still suppress the military generals in the north......"

With Zhou Kun's explanation, Li Su slowly figured out the situation in Goguryeo, in general, the Yuan family, the powerful minister, and the weak lord of the Rongliu Wang, each with its own strength, of which the Yuan family controls most of the country's military and a minister's political power, and the main influence is in the north, while the Rongliu King controls a small part of the military power and most of the political power, and the main influence is in the south. And when it comes to this force in Goguryeo, one person has to be mentioned, that is, Eulji Wende in Zhou Kun's mouth.

Ulji Wendeok was touted by the sticks in later generations, saying that he led Goguryeo to repel the invasion of the former Sui and was a great hero of Goguryeo. In fact, these are all nonsense, the reason why the Sui army withdrew at that time was because of logistical problems, coupled with the fact that the generals underestimated the enemy, resulting in poor results, which made Yang Guang disheartened and ordered the withdrawal of the army.

After the death of Yuan Gai Suwen's father, Yuan Taizuo, he was ready to pass on his position of Mo Lizhi to his son Yuan Gai Suwen, the so-called Mo Li Zhi, which was the prime minister of Goguryeo, and even greater than the prime minister's power. But Eulzhi Wende relied on his military exploits. and other Wenchen's supporters, snatched Mo Lizhi's position into their hands, and because of this, Yizhi Wende and the Yuan family had a bad relationship, so they suppressed the Yuan family and their generals together with the Wenchen group.

Eulzhi Wende has made great achievements in the war and has a very high prestige in the army. Therefore, when he was alive, the Southern Wenchen Group was still very effective in mastering the army, but since the death of Yizhi Wende, Yuan Gai Suwen, who had endured for many years, began to exert his strength, using the connections of the Yuan family and the prestige of many years. slowly took seventy or eighty percent of the whole ** team into his own hands, and even began to meddle in political affairs. Now the influence of the Yuan family is not limited to the north, and the entire Goguryeo country is under the control of the Yuan family.

Faced with this situation, King Rongliu was naturally dissatisfied for a long time, but he was intimidated by the power of the Yuan family. Don't dare to act rashly. But this was broken last year. After Li Su presented Li Shimin with a plan to divide Goguryeo. It was immediately carried out by Li Shimin, and sent a lot of meticulous work to infiltrate Goguryeo, buying, threatening, assassinating, planting, etc., and did everything to make the relationship between the two groups extremely bad.

And at the beginning of this year, King Rongliu finally couldn't help it and wanted to plot to get rid of Yuangai Suwen and others. But this news was learned by Zhou Kun and his Tang Dynasty meticulous work, and then leaked some clues to Yuangai Suwen and others.

When Yuan Gai Suwen knew that King Rongliu was going to get rid of him. Naturally, he was extremely angry, and after agreeing with several other powerful generals. Prepare to preemptively launch a mutiny before the Spring Festival this year to get rid of King Rongliu and the forces around him in one fell swoop. And Zhou Kun learned the news that the Yuan family was preparing to mutiny, and was about to come back to report, but unfortunately the people of the Yuan family noticed it, so they chased him closely, for fear that he would leak the news.

"What a chance!" Li Su walked up and down the room excitedly, thinking about the impact of this incident on Datang. If there is a civil strife in Goguryeo, it is a good opportunity for the Tang Dynasty to raise troops, with the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, it is easy to destroy this small Goguryeo, and if Goguryeo is destroyed, then Silla and Baekje, although Silla deliberately welcomes the Tang Dynasty, but with Li Shimin's ambition and appetite, coupled with Li Su's pinch next to him, it will definitely not leave any chance for the ancestors of these sticks.

At night, there was still some distance from Dengzhou, but the fleet did not dare to advance in the dark. Li Su used to think that the sea was so big that he could go in any direction he wanted, but later he learned that it was not the case at all, taking this Bohai Strait as an example, because of the large number of islands, this strait is divided into eight waterways of different widths. The waterway they walked was called Dengzhou, the deepest part was only about ten zhang, and the surrounding reefs were all over the place, and if they were not careful, they could destroy thousands of boats and kill people, so Li Su and they could only find an island to anchor, rest for one night, and return to Dengzhou the next morning.

Before Li Su and his fleet arrived at the port, there were already ships waiting along the way to carry the news to Dengzhou, and by the time their ship entered the port, the dock was already full of people welcoming their return. Under Li Su's special arrangement, the crew of the Tiger Shark Slave Catching Team was the first to disembark, and when they saw these scarred people, the atmosphere on the dock immediately skyrocketed to **, while angrily scolding Goguryeo for barbarism, while loudly praising the kindness of His Royal Highness King Qi.

And when the huge whale appeared, the dock fell into a kind of silence for a short time, and then everyone began to whisper, and when they knew that this was the whale that His Royal Highness King Qi shot and killed with his own hands, everyone was silent, a person who even dared to shoot a god in the sea, and his background was so noble, coupled with the legendary color of Li Su, which made them praise Li Su's kindness at the same time, not only did an indescribable awe rise in their hearts.

And when Li Su walked down from the boat, the atmosphere of the people on the entire dock fell into a kind of silence, and everyone knelt down in unison to welcome the return of His Royal Highness King Qi with this highest courtesy.

And Li Su looked at everyone's reaction, and his heart was also very excited, and after hurriedly helping up an old man who was closest to him, he said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen of Dengzhou, please hurry up, this king, as the assassin of Dengzhou, just did what he should do, and he deserves such a heavy courtesy!" ”

"Your Royal Highness is benevolent and righteous, for the people of Dengzhou for me, even at the cost of risking your life, such a move of the people, naturally admired by us, please be worshiped by the little old man again!" Hearing Li Su's words, the old man who was supported by him immediately said loudly, this old man is well-dressed and speaks in a crepe, so it seems that he should be a scholar.

The old man's words resonated with everyone on the dock, and they all shouted loudly: "Your Highness is benevolent and righteous, and you will be worshiped by us!" ”

Saying that, they kowtowed and saluted, Li Su couldn't stop it at all, and finally could only accept this salute from the people, and then let them stand up, and said some words to protect the territory and the people, and then rode on the horse and left the dock. As for the whale, it was pulled into Dengzhou City by several ox carts, but fortunately, the gates and streets of Dengzhou were wide enough, otherwise it would not have been able to enter.

Although Dengzhou City is close to the sea, there are usually many people who have seen whales, but it is the first time to see a giant whale that was killed, and it was shot by His Royal Highness the King of Qi himself, this kind of wonder naturally attracted countless people to watch, almost the entire Dengzhou City people are concentrated on the main street, pointing at the giant whale and talking about it, although this thing is a divine object in their eyes, but since it was shot by His Royal Highness the King of Qi who admired it, naturally no one felt that there was anything wrong, and even had a sense of course.

And when the giant whale was transported to the Qi Palace, in the center of the city, Li Su ordered that people be divided in the square in front of the palace, except for a part left by the palace, the rest were distributed to the people present for free.

As soon as this order came out, many people were worried. His Royal Highness the King of Qi is a noble person, and he is a god who has descended to earth, so he naturally wants to deal with a divine object like a whale, but they are just mortals, if they accept this divine object, will it cause dissatisfaction from the heavens, and thus cause any disasters?

It is precisely because of this concern that ordinary people do not dare to come forward to collect those whale meat, blubber and other things that are cut down like a hill. But there are always some bold people, these people are either poor or greedy and cheap, anyway, they are happy to go up and get a share, and even some greedy people even get a few more, plus foreign merchants, there is no reverence for such things as whales, so after a while, the whales the size of three houses were divided and cleaned, and even the remaining unedible offal was eaten by the wild dogs in the city.

"Husband, why are you so reckless, you took the risk of taking a boat to Goguryeo for the sake of a few merchants, if something happens, then what should I do with Xijun and Wen'er and their girls?" As soon as Li Su came back, he was immediately invited to the inner house by Aunt Hu, Wen Xin and Xijun saw Li Su with a few people, and immediately there was a series of angry reprimands, since Wen Xin married Li Su, this was the first time she was so angry.

"Wen Xin, don't worry, this sea is not as dangerous as we thought, don't you think I'm back now?" Li Su said with a hippie smile that he hid it from Wen Xin when he left, because Wen Xin would never agree to him to take risks because of Wen Xin's concern for Li Su.

"Hmph, how can we not be worried, you didn't come back last night, do you know how worried Wen Xin was, not only did he not sleep all night, but he even cried for half the night, and he didn't even drink saliva until now." When Xijun saw Li Su's appearance, she immediately reprimanded loudly, but she only cared about talking about Wenxin, but she didn't notice that she was also haggard.

At this time, Li Su also found out that Wen Xin and Xi Jun both had red and swollen eyes and dry lips, obviously they didn't rest well last night, and if they looked at Wen Er and them, they looked the same. It's just that what makes him strange is that the relationship between Wen Xin and Xijun has never been very good, why did they suddenly become so affectionate today?

Li Su looked distressed, and hurriedly stepped forward to hug Wen Xin's slender waist to comfort him, and apologized and apologized, and finally made Wen Xin happy. As for Xijun, it would be much simpler to make her happy, Li Su said the idea he thought of at sea, and the result immediately turned this little money fan into laughter. (To be continued.)
