In Pyongyang City, since Quan Huan disappeared unexpectedly, Yuan Taizuo gradually seized Quan Huan's wealth and power in his own hands. All officials rushed to flatter him and wrote blood letters to express their loyalty. Even Gao Huizhen, the general who was originally loyal to Gao Yuan, wrote blood letters to be willing to be loyal to him. However, King Gao Yuan of Yingyang fell ill and was in a very serious condition, Yuan Taizuo began to consider the candidate for the new king.

However, the most anxious and urgent situation is still the battle situation in the north. All 120,000 troops have been sent to the north. Until now, there is no news about Ya Lushui's army. One is his eldest son and the other is his younger brother. There is no news, which really makes Yuan Taizuo feel uneasy.

That afternoon, Yuan Taizuo woke up after taking a nap and was about to get up to go to the palace. Today is the day to discuss the establishment of a **** with all officials. The so-called discussion is just a form of walking. Whoever Yuan Taizuo likes, then who will be the successor. Yuan Taizuo has a good relationship with Gao Yuan's brother Gao Jianwu. Gao Jianwu expressed his intention to share his worries with him many times, which means that Gao Jianwu is willing to be a puppet and give up the power to him Yuan Taizuo.

This statement satisfied Yuan Taizuo, but Yuan Taizuo felt that Gao Jianwu was too old, nearly forty years old, and if he was only four years old, it would be almost the same, so who should be named ****, Yuan Taizuo has not yet considered mature.

A maid carefully put a hat on Yuan Taizuo, and the two maids on both sides helped him stand up again. Yuan Taizuo then walked down the hall. As soon as he walked into the yard, the butler rushed in quickly. Yuan Taizuo's face darkened and he snorted heavily. The butler was so scared that he knelt down and raised a small volume of letters in his hand. "It was the eagle letter sent by the second general!"

When Yuan Taizuo heard that it was his brother's Eagle Letter, he didn't care about his demeanor, so he stepped forward two steps and grabbed the Eagle Letter in his hand. This was the Eagle Letter sent by Yuanqing Palace when he just withdrew from the camp. Just one hour after the Eagle Letter was sent, Yuanqing Palace also walked into the Sui army's encirclement trap.

Yuan Taizuo opened the letter with trembling hands and looked it hurriedly. His eyes gradually became straightened. Sui army attacked the camp, Gao Yanshou's entire army was destroyed, and Yuanqing Palace's army retreated from the camp in time and was retreating towards Pyongyang.

Yuan Taizuo didn't know whether it was joy or sorrow, but Gao Yanshou's army was completely destroyed, which means that the last power of the Gao royal family had also disappeared. Then he still had to worry about who would inherit the throne? Isn't it good for Yuan Taizuo to ascend the throne himself to the King of Goryeo?

But the huge pressure brought to Yuan Taizuo by the defeat of Yalushui, which means that the Sui army is about to reach the city.

Wait a minute!

Yuan Taizuo suddenly thought of a very serious problem. If the main force of the Sui army appeared in Yalushui, how would the Goguryeo army in Liaodong be like?

He continued to look down again. At the end of the letter, Yuanqing Palace hurriedly wrote a line of words, "Zhang Xuan's King's Banner appeared on the battlefield, and I was very confused. If Zhang Xuan really went south of Liaodong, the Dalang would be in danger!"

Yuan Taizuo's chest hurt, like a dagger penetrated his chest, his body shook and almost fell down. The guard hurriedly supported him, 'Sir! Sir!'

Yuan Taizuo waved his hand to stabilize his emotions, thinking in his heart, "After all, my son is the commander, and he should still be alive even if the entire army is wiped out. He just became a prisoner of war and redeem him."

He kept comforting himself and pondering for a moment, he had to make up his mind to seize the throne of Goguryeo.

"Prepare a carriage for me and go to the palace!"

The carriage was driving on the street. Yuan Taizuo temporarily put down the battle situation in the north, put down his son's life and death, and turned his thinking to the seizure of the throne. At present, there are still 20,000 troops in Pyongyang, led by four generals, Zhao Beiyi, Gao Huizhen, Jian Wuqi and Quan Wenshou. Three of them have expressed their loyalty to him. Only Quan Wenshou remains silent. Quan Wenshou is the eldest son of Quan Huan. Of course, he will not be loyal to himself. However, this person is a playboy, which is not worth worrying, and he is also stationed outside the city, so there is no big impact.

Jian Wuqi and Zhao Beiyi, who are currently stationed in the city, are both his subordinates, and of course they will support themselves as kings. The key is Gao Hui's attitude. Although he submitted a letter of loyalty to him, he is a royal family after all. Regardless of whether he is loyal to him or not, he must be eliminated. There is also Gao Kaidao. I heard that this person fled to the Turks, which is also a hidden danger.

Yuan Taizuo thought it clearly. Today, he would not mention the destruction of the Gao family royal family for the time being. He would officially depose the king after he was killed.

The carriage entered the palace and slowly stopped in front of the steps. A guard ran to open the car door for him.

"Have all the ministers arrived?" Yuan Taizuo asked.

"Report to Lord Mo Lizhi, he has arrived and is waiting for Lord Baihu Hall."

The White Tiger Hall was the place where the Goguryeo court discussed military affairs, and it was close to the inner palace. Generally, the guards were not allowed to enter. Yuan Taizuo was quite martial and had a sword on his waist, so he was not afraid. He asked the guards to wait in the outer hall, and he quickly walked up the steps, walked towards the Baihu Hall, and walked through a long corridor. The yard in front was the White Tiger Hall.

Yuan Taizuo walked into the yard, but suddenly found that there was no guard inside and outside. He felt a little bad in his heart. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, a familiar voice suddenly came from the hall, "Mr. Mo Lizhi, are you safe?"

He looked up at the lobby. There were no officials waiting for him to come to discuss the decision in the lobby. Instead, there was a person standing with his hands behind his back. It was Quan Huan, who had been assassinated by Gao Lie ten days ago. He saw him looking at him with a smile.

Yuan Taizuo seemed to have seen a ghost, scaring him so much that he was so scared that the courtyard gate behind him closed. Yuan Taizuo already understood that Quan Huan was not dead at all. He pulled out his long sword and shouted at Quan Huan, "Gao Lie can't kill you, let me take over you with my own hands!"

Quan Huan sneered, threw the cup in his hand to the ground, and shouted: "Do it!"

A hundred black-clothed swords and axemen suddenly rushed out from the side doors on both sides, and rushed towards Yuan Taizuo. Yuan Taizuo resisted hard. He stabbed the swords in his hands to death and broke them. The swords and axes rushed forward and slashed down randomly. Poor Goguryeo's heroes died in the end.

A knife and axe driver presented Yuan Taizuo's head, Quan Huan smiled sinisterly and said to the head: "You idiot, do you think a crossbow can shoot through the dragon scale armor on my body? I'm just looking at what you want to do, waiting to deal with you this day."

The gate of the courtyard opened, and the general Jian Wuqi walked up quickly, knelt down on one knee and said, "Sir, the palace has been completely controlled, and Gao Jianwu has been secretly executed by his subordinates."

Quan Huan nodded with satisfaction, pointed at Yuan Taizuo's head, and smiled proudly: "General Jian, see who this is?"

Jian Wuqi saw the face of the head clearly and was so scared that he stood up suddenly. After a while, he suddenly woke up and immediately knelt down and said, "Jian Wuqi is willing to serve the Lord!"

"Go! Surround Zhao Beiyi's mansion, and the whole family will not leave any of them."

"Abide by the order!"

Jian Wuqi secretly glanced at the head again, and then turned around and left in a hurry with lingering fear.

Quan Huan walked into the inner palace with his head and came to Gao Yuan's hospital bed. He saw a maid feeding medicine to Gao Yuan, who was weak in breath. It looked like Gao Yuan was dying and could not do it anymore.

Quan Huan walked up and smiled and said, "Let me do it!"

Quan Huan took the bowl and fed Gao Yuan a few sips of medicine. Gao Yuan slowly opened his eyes. Seeing that it was Quan Huan, he asked in a low voice: "How is it?"

Quan Huan waved his hand, "You all retreat!"

The eunuchs and palace maids around all retreated, and there were only two of them in the hall. Quan Huan then smiled and said, "I'll show you something."

He turned around and waved his hand, "Come on!"

A little eunuch walked up with a plate tremblingly. The plate was Yuan Taizuo's head. Gao Yuan glanced at the head and his eyes suddenly widened. He suddenly sat up, grabbed the cloth wrapped around his head, and laughed and said, "Yuan Taizuo, you have today too!"

He smiled so happily and his voice was so loud that he didn't look sick at all. If the eunuchs and palace maids who served him were beside him, they would be stunned. It turned out that Jun Shang was pretending to be seriously ill, but in fact he was not sick at all.

Quan Huan next to him said lightly: "Your best be careful, don't really fall ill."

Gao Yuan spread his hands and laughed: "I have never been sick. The thief is dead. Do I need to pretend again?"

"That's not necessarily!" Quan Huan's tone became a little cold.

Gao Yuan was stunned and turned to look at Quan Huan. He saw a smile on his face. He felt a little uneasy and asked, "What does this mean by sir?"

Quan Huan slowly spread his palms and saw a small red porcelain bottle in his palm. "This is" Gao Yuan wondered what this is.

Quan Huan said quietly: "This is the crane top red, the strongest poison, and the throat is sealed with blood. I accidentally poured it into the medicine bowl on your side just now."

"you"

Gao Yuan suddenly felt a severe pain in his lower abdomen, which made him unable to straighten his waist. He quickly held the bed post and pointed at Quan Huan and said, "Why are you afraid that I will not seal you Mo Lizhi?"

Quan Huan said calmly: "Yuan Taizuo is dead. Of course I am Mo Lizhi, but I prefer a young little king. Anyway, the king is about to die of illness. Now that I am dead, everyone doesn't find it strange. I will bury the king for a grand ceremony. Please go on the way!"

"You must die a good death."

Gao Yuan stood up and rushed towards Quan Huan, but only took one step, he fell to the ground, twitched for a moment, and finally died of bleeding from seven orifices.

Quan Huan lowered his head and smiled sinisterly: "I won't die, on the contrary, I will live a good life."

He stood up and turned around and ordered, "Pack him up and put him on the bed!"

The little eunuch hurriedly stepped forward to clean up the body. When he was almost done, Quan Huan stabbed the little eunuch to death with a sword from behind, picked up Yuan Taizuo's head, and strode out of the hall.

Two days later, Quan Huanli Gao Zang, who was only two years old, was the King of Goguryeo. He proclaimed himself Molizhi and completely controlled the military and political power of Goguryeo.
