Chapter 263 On the Eastern Expedition

"Actually, I have a bad temper." Gu Qing looked at him and said to the surrounding villagers: "Break his legs and say I'm going to beat me! I'll be responsible for anything happening!"

When he saw that everyone in the village was about to take action, the big cannibal retreated step by step, "What do you want to do? I am from the big cannibal royal family."

"Do it!" Gu Qing shouted.

A group of village names began to beat up the big cannibals, and Li Tai followed Gu Qing to the carriage again, "Is this really OK? The big cannibals came to the Tang Dynasty for the first time."

"Are we afraid of them using it?"

"That's not necessary." Li Tai also said with a smile, "As long as the great cannibals dare to come, no matter how many Tang Dynasty comes, they can destroy these barbarians."

After coming to Chang'an and entering the palace, Gu Qing also found that many dukes were also here, and some powerful people outside Chang'an also saw Li Ran from the Li family in Zhao County, the head of the Wang family, the Cui family, and many powerful people from all over Chang'an.

"Gu Qing." Li Ran stepped forward and said hello to Gu Qing.

Gu Qing also saluted.

"Are you the newly promoted county waiter Gu Qing?" asked an older powerful man.

"It's right next." Gu Qing also replied.

Unfortunately, Gu Qing is so famous now. Gu Qing, who is rich enough to rival a country, is now just a county and has no power in the court, nor has any official position or power, but no one underestimates such a person. He does not rely on his ancestors and does not have help from others. He has become an emerging powerful and powerful person and a leader among the younger generation alone.

As the palace gate opened, Gu Qing followed everyone into the palace. He came all the way to Tai Chi Palace and Li Er treated everyone with a banquet.

At the banquet, various powerful families told Li Er about the changes in various places and their future ideas.

Gu Qing felt bored and sat in his seat, drinking sips after sip.

"Gu Qing, why don't you speak?"

Li Er naturally paid attention to Gu Qing.

Gu Qing also hurriedly said, "I wish Your Majesty all the best, good luck in the beginning of the year, good health, longevity with heaven, and endless life!"

After saying a passage, Li Er's face was stiff and even blushed. What happened to this sudden flattery? Looking at the faces of everyone present, Li Er said again, "Gu Qing, what do you think about this?"

He didn't listen to what these people said, Gu Qing just said, "It's pretty good."

"Then do you think it's good to regard Japan as a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty?" Li Er was puzzled.

"No!" Gu Qing immediately rejected: "Your Majesty is absolutely not possible!"

"Didn't you think it's good just now? Why don't you think it's not possible now?" Li Er looked at Gu Qing. Wang Qin, who was beside him, received the report from the eunuch, and then whispered the news in Li Er's ear. When he heard the news, Li Er looked at Gu Qing with a strange expression.

"Now Japan is willing to be our vassal state, but Japan has no sincerity." Gu Qing hurriedly explained, "If Japan wants to become an affiliate of the Tang Dynasty, it must show sincerity."

"Sincerity?" Li Er thought about something.

"To be sincere!" Gu Qing emphasized, "If this Japanese country wants us to become an affiliate of our Tang Dynasty, we must give us benefits. If this Japanese country becomes an affiliate of the Tang Dynasty, we will naturally have to help if something happens to Japan."

"Are you talking about tribute?" Li Er understood.

"The meaning is almost the same." Since Li Er understood, Gu Qing also said directly, "Your Majesty, Japan is a good place, we must make the best use of it."

Li Er understood what Gu Qing meant.

As the topic goes, the powerful people also began to argue about their views on Japan, but just talk about it casually. The real arrangements were also required by Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji, and these advisers made decisions with His Holiness.

Now Li Er said something that worried him, "Now that Goguryeo is in chaos, what do you think Gu Qing?"

Speaking of Goguryeo, Goguryeo was in chaos at this time. Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla were in power. The entire Goguryeo was in chaos and was even more messy in politics. Now Yoon Gaisuwen is thinking about how to undermine the entire Goguryeo and become the regent of Goguryeo.

Judging from the failure of the Sui Emperor's Eastern Expedition, Goguryeo already knew the powerful country in Guanzhong. Goguryeo, a small country, was not as big as the prefectures of the Tang Dynasty. In the eyes of Gu Qing, it was entirely the emperor who did this to demonstrate his authority. Such a small country could use political means and economic suppression to make Goguryeo a part of the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, the little Goguryeo is not worth mentioning." Gu Qing smiled contemptuously, "If you want to solve the chaos in Goguryeo, you can easily solve it."

"The envoys of Goguryeo have come to see me." Li Er said again, "Gouryeo hopes to borrow our firearms to let them calm the situation."

"Your Majesty, no need." Gu Qing said again.

Li Er's face looked ugly. Li Ran, who was sitting on the side, represented the Li family in Zhao County, who looked at His Majesty's face and Gu Qing's disdain. Thinking about the dialogue between the monarch and his ministers, he naturally understood something. "Your Majesty, my daughter thinks that this is a good time for us to conquer Goguryeo."

"Oh?" Li Er's face improved a little when he heard this answer.

Li Ran continued, "The little girl thought that the political situation in Goguryeo is now in turmoil and powerful enemies are around us. We can take over Goguryeo with the name of sending troops to aid Goguryeo, and even Silla and Baekje."

"This woman's thoughts are delicate enough." Gu Qing thought to look at her in his heart.

Li Ran noticed that Gu Qing also smiled slightly when he saw him.

I have to say that the eldest granddaughter of the Li family is very beautiful, and his eyes and smile are very elegant. Several powerful children from aristocratic families have long taken a fancy to Li Ran, but when they see Li Ran smile at Gu Qing, they feel dissatisfied.

The banquet continued until noon did not end.

Gu Qing walked out of Tai Chi Palace alone, and Li Ran also walked at the end and asked Gu Qing, "Are you pretending to be confused?"

"What do you mean?" Gu Qing whispered as he walked.

"You understand that now is the best time to win Goguryeo. Your Majesty asked you several times, but you always refuse to attack, what does it mean?"

"Why do you need to fight an unnecessary battle?" Gu Qing shook the fan in his hand. "Your Majesty is just to satisfy his desires. In order to prove his status, the emperor failed to conquer Goguryeo, which made the former Sui Dynasty fall into a slump. But this dynasty did what he could not do, so he naturally could establish his own majesty. This is what His Majesty wants."

"Actually, you can agree with Your Majesty." Li Ran said.
