When he walked into Tai Chi Palace, Gu Qing followed the end all the way, and with a low-key purpose, he did not have much expectation for such a thing as merit. If he really wanted to get the merit, Gu Qing hoped that Li Er could block him for a while.

Cen Wenben and Li Ji reported on the war in Goguryeo. They did not make any statement about the capture of Yuan Gai Suwen and Li Er. They just said lightly that they were imprisoned in Dali Temple. A general from Goguryeo was not as good as Li Er had to meet, let alone that he was defeated.

The king and his ministers were talking to each other, but Gu Qing didn't listen at all. He wandered in the court and saw Niu Jinda and Cheng Yaojin smiling at him. What are these two guys staring at him like this? They are so cunning.

The one who has the most say is Cen Wenben. Everyone in the court listened to Cen Wenben talking about Goguryeo, how to govern Goguryeo, and talked about the Japanese attack on Goguryeo. This incident caused discussions in the court. No one expected that the eastern expedition to Goguryeo would involve a small Japanese country.

Some people in the court accused Japan of its behavior and hoped that His Majesty could condemn Japan's behavior of causing trouble for Goguryeo. Gu Qing was really making noise when he heard these guys.

Li Er looked at Gu Qing standing at Su Ding's equation and then said quietly, "Gu Qing, do you have anything to say?"

"No." Gu Qing said immediately without hesitation.

"Cough cough cough..." Cheng Yaojin was choked by Gu Qing's words. Is he so unpretentious?

Li Er was also not swallowed by Gu Qing's words, and he swallowed all the things he wanted to say in his throat.

Li Tai, who was standing in front of him, quietly gave Gu Qing a look.

Li Er didn't want to be more concerned with this guy, "Since Japan is like this..."

Upon receiving Li Tai's eyes, Gu Qing hurriedly said, "I have it again!"

“…”

"Cough cough cough..." It was Niu Jinda's turn to cough.

Li Er was interrupted by Gu Qing halfway through the words, and he didn't have a good face to look at the boy, "Say!"

"Then I will say it." Gu Qing said, "In fact, the invasion of Japan invasion of Goguryeo is a false and indisputable kind. At the time of the civil strife of Goguryeo, the rebel minister Yuan Gaisuwen was conquering Silla. After the big and small Silla, Japan came to invade."

Listening to Gu Qing's words, another official in the court said, "Gu Qing, the Silla captured by Yuan Gaisuwen, then Silla is the territory of Goguryeo."

"You can't say that." Gu Qing explained, "Does Silla belong to Goguryeo? Yeon Gaisuwen's words do not count, but Goguryeo's words are right?"

Seeing that the other party did not refute, Gu Qing said again, "Just like Lao Wang next door said that your wife was his."

“…”

Seeing the other party's lust, Gu Qing waved his hand again, "Don't get me wrong. I'm just an example. Is your wife yours or you have the final say? So this Silla was captured by Yoon Gaisuwen, but this land belongs to Goguryeo, and it still has to be decided by the King of Goguryeo. Besides, the actions of Japan were invading Silla. Is this matter considered offending Goguryeo? The Tang Dynasty could turn a blind eye and help anyone to speak, from the perspective of His Majesty..."

Gu Qing went to Li Eryi and said, "Is Japan's actions considered wrong? You have to say the end. After all, Japan and Goguryeo are both vassal states of the Tang Dynasty. As the saying goes, beating a dog depends on the owner. Goguryeo and the owners of Japan are both tyrants."

Li Er had a dark face and beat the dog to see the owner. The reason was indeed the same, but what he said... he looked at Cheng Yaojin standing by, leisurely and contented. He said so much that Cheng Yaojin smelled like that. Could it be that Gu Qing had been ruined by Cheng Yaojin, the old man, as Fang Xuanling was worried.

"Your Majesty?" Gu Qing looked at Li Er who was worried.

"Cough cough." After coughing twice, Li Er withdrew his eyes and looked at Fang Xuanling, "Fang Xiang, what do you mean?"

"I think." Fang Xuanling bowed and said, "I think whether the actions of Japan are considered to be invading Goguryeo depends on what the King of Goguryeo said. Silla and Baekje also paid tribute to the Central Plains in the early years, but this tribute was cut off when the chaos in the Central Plains began. The Tang Dynasty has not paid tribute since its establishment in the Central Plains, and His Majesty has not recognized the status of Silla and Baekje. So as Gu Qing said, whether the actions of Japan are considered to be invading Goguryeo depends on whether the King of Goguryeo wants to pursue this matter."

After all, the teacher is the teacher. Fang Xuanling's impartial words immediately nodded convincingly in the court. Gu Qing also felt that he wanted Japan and Goguryeo to fight early. Yoon Gaisuwen defeated Silla and was the King of Goguryeo. The boy who wanted to regain Silla would win the hearts of the people. In the eyes of the King of Goguryeo, Japan invaded Goguryeo, and it was appropriate to ask Japan to collect debts.

But this reason cannot be initiated by the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty must stand on the absolutely correct and just side. If you want to collect debts, you should go to the King of Goguryeo to ask for it. Don’t bring it to the Tang Dynasty.

After hearing this, Li Er also understood the whole story of the matter. He looked at Cen Wenben's expression and thought about Fang Xuanling's implication that Goguryeo had to collect debts from Japan. The report Cen Wenben wrote clearly in the report, and he also discussed with Fang Xuanling that Goguryeo King wanted to collect debts.

The so-called "three requests and four suggestions" is not an initiative in the Tang Dynasty, but a king of Goguryeo takes the initiative.

Cen Wenben thought that Gu Qing had said before that Japan wanted Goguryeo to pay Goguryeo a sky-high compensation, but he had never spoken. If the Tang Dynasty took the initiative to ask Japan to pay Goguryeo to pay Goguryeo, it would be suspected of forcing robbery. Just as Fang Xuanling said, the Tang Dynasty should stand on the absolutely correct side in this matter, and if the wrong thing happened, let Goguryeo and Japan do it. The Tang Dynasty could not be a robber, otherwise it would give future generations ideas. The history of the Tang Dynasty should be on the righteous side, and those conspiracies to prove governance (prevent harmony) Li Er would have to make some conspiracies with the important officials who could trust in the court in private.

In the foreign Tang Dynasty, it was necessary to act correctly in the country. A few days ago, Li Er and Fang Xuanling had already made preparations for the affairs of Japan and Goguryeo. This is the politics of a strong country against a weak country. Li Er, the wolf, had already been wearing sheepskin.

The next step was to give the reward. Gu Qing was confused when he heard this. He seemed to be a county magistrate, and the Shangshu Ling was still a Shangshu Ling, which was the added court magistrate.

Li Ji became the general of the auxiliary country, and Hou Junji was named the crown prince Shaobao.

Su Dingfang was named General Zhongwu, a false title of honor.

Cheng Chumo was named General of the Yulin Guard.

Li Tai and Li Ke just gave the title of Void.
