If we talk about this period, Liaodong is indeed relatively quiet.

Yang Xuangan rebelled, and the emperor's army retreated. The Goguryeo did not take advantage of the situation to counterattack. However, after a period of calm, a mutiny suddenly broke out.

Yuan Taizuo killed King Gao Jianwu and also killed the military commander of the Baowang Sect, Yizhi Wende. This general who defeated the Sui army during the last Eastern Expedition was called the God of War by the Goguryeo people.

Unfortunately, a generation of war god did not die under the iron hoofed sword of the Sui army, but in the end it died at the hands of his own family.

As soon as Gao Jianwu and Yizhi Wende died, the nobles of the Baowang Sect were almost killed. Yuan Taizuo entered the Imperial Guard camp alone and successfully brought the Imperial Guard under his command.

The royal party in Goguryeo was so trapped in a difficult choice.

Either they surrender to the new Korean king or they can only be suppressed by the Yuan clan.

Many royalists finally chose to recognize the new dynasty and support the new monarch, but some people were also stubborn. For example, Yang Wanchun, who had only one hand left, refused to admit it. Not only that, this man also ran to the Korean Peninsula and recruited soldiers everywhere. Now he has raised a army of tens of thousands of people on the former site of Pyongyang. Although it is a mob, Goguryeo still has the power of 700 years, and many people are still very loyal to the royal family.

Not only did Yang Wanchun raise an army in Pyongyang, he also sent people to contact the Marine tribe, hoping that they would continue to send troops south. The leaders of several Marine tribes all married the daughter of the Wang family.

Goguryeo has changed its dynasty on the surface, but now it is the Yuan clan North Korea, but in fact, undercurrents are surging and a civil war is about to begin.

Of course, Li Yuan, the prefect of Xincheng, was not very interested in this.

He wanted those Goguryeo people to fight, the more fierce the fight, the better. What he cared more about was the Central Plains and the court.

In contrast, Luo Yizhi worshipped the prime minister and Luo Cheng successively captured and killed two pseudo emperors. This news stimulated him. The Luo family has truly risen, with two princesses and two marquises in one family, and a princess has also been given.

Not to mention that Luo Yi is now the prime minister in the court, Luo Cheng is guarding Liaodong, and Luo Siye is still the commander of Xiaoguo.

But the once extremely glorious Eight-Pillar Country has now withered.

Just because of the rumors that the Li family should have had all the world, the emperor actually uprooted the Grand Tutor Li Mu's clan. How powerful the Li family was back then. When Duke Li Yuan of Tang Dynasty saw Li Hun and Li Min, he had to nod and smile.

But now, when the Li family had a rumor, the emperor killed the whole family directly. More than 100 children in the court were killed, and they were destroyed in one sentence. This was the Li family, which each occupied one seat among the eight pillar states and the twelve generals.

The Li Bi family, which is also an eight-pillars country, was also implicated because Li Mi participated in Yang Xuangan's plot. This time, all the children of the Li Bi family were removed from their titles and their official positions were removed.

There is also the Yu family. The last time Yu Zhongwen was killed, this time the Yu family was implicated because of their children surrendering Yang Xuangan outside the Dongdu City. All the children of the Yu family and their official positions and titles were removed.

The Duke of Tang was also one of the eight pillar countries. Li Yuan's grandfather Li Hu was once the general of the pillar country. By his generation, the Li family had many children and many officials, but in the past, they were still far inferior to Li Mu, Li Bi and Yu Jin and other families.

After all, his grandfather died early and his father died early.

In the new city, Li Yuan couldn't sleep all night when he heard the news of several major families being confiscated.

During this period, Li Yuan was very quiet. He stayed in the Xincheng Prefect's Mansion all day long, thanking guests at the door, and did not dare to go in and out of the military camp. He talked too much with the generals and schoolmen, for fear that a crime of chaos would fall on his head.

Li Yuan sat in the study, holding a handful of pipa, gently pulling it out.

His pipa is still very good, and he is of great skill.

Li Jiancheng walked in quickly and stood at the door.

"Father, Luo Cheng has arrived."

Li Yuan put down his pipa and shook his sleeves.

"Remember, you must not call him the word Luo Cheng in the future. You must respect him as Duke Chu or Luo Shuai. You must also call him Wulang."

Li Jiancheng was a black-headed person, "Just a nouveau riche who has gained power in one day."

"Be presumptuous, don't let Father hear such a bastard like you in the future. Get rid of yours and follow me out of the city to greet you."

"Father, he has entered the city and is about to arrive in the yamen."

After hearing this, Li Yuan quickly tidied up his clothes, "Why don't you follow me and go to the door to greet him."

As soon as I left the study, I saw Luo Cheng wearing armor and a ticket to walk the school into the yard. "Uncle Uncle, I heard that you are not in good health recently and haven't gone out for many days, but it made me worry. I wonder where my uncle is feeling uncomfortable?"

The brides of Sui people often call their parents-in-law and uncle, while men call their father-in-law and uncle.

Luo Cheng is the most powerful upstart today, while Li Yuan is an outdated old nobleman. Although Li Yuan promised his daughter to Luo Cheng, he was just for his concubine rather than for his wife. Therefore, he was actually not Luo Cheng's uncle.

It is still surprising to Luo Cheng look so enthusiastic.

"I didn't want to have a little bit of Xiaoji, but I actually bothered the general to come to Xincheng in person. I heard that the general returned from quelling the rebellion and I was going to visit Xiangping for a visit."

Luo Cheng stepped forward and bowed, "You are an elder, I should come to see you."

"You are the commander-in-chief, and you should go to see you by the lower officials." Li Yuan bowed.

"Even if you don't care about private gifts, you are a senior."

After the two of them were polite for a long time, Luo Chengcai called Xuan Ba ​​forward.

Li Xuanba paid homage to his father, but Li Yuan discovered him. He wiped his eyes and hadn't seen him for more than a year. Why did this sick son become so strong?

"Dad, my brother-in-law helped me to regulate my body. Look at how strong I am now."

Li Yuan couldn't help but tears flashed in his eyes. It was not easy for this child to be young, and it would be impossible to get better if he tried his best to seek all famous doctors. Unexpectedly, after following Luo Cheng for more than a year, his health would be better.

"Okay, okay, since it's OK, then stay with my father from now on."

"Dad, I am now my brother-in-law, Bai Ma Yicong's personal guard."

“Go in and sit.”

Li Yuan said helplessly.

living room.

Luo Cheng left behind a group of brothers to drink tea, and then pulled Li Yuan to his study.

"There is a rumor in Luoyang recently, saying that Li should have a world, did your uncle hear it?"

Li Yuan waved his hand quickly, "Don't believe in rumors, and don't spread rumors."

Luo Cheng smiled.

"My uncle should know that the Li Hun and Li Min, the uncle and nephew, have been uprooted. The Li Mu family has also been plotted against because of the unfilial son Li, and now the entire family has been implicated and has been expelled from the people and has become a white diligent person."

"There is also the Yu family..."

Li Yuan looked ugly.

Luo Cheng finally stopped.

"Actually, Your Majesty is very concerned about this rumor, especially for the famous family members of Li in the court, who are like the Eight-Pillar Country. Although my uncle is now just a prefect, he is in the frontier, holding tens of thousands of troops. Moreover, my uncle's family is also one of the Eight-Pillar Country."

"Shicheng, Sanniang just gave birth to a fat boy for you, are you still satisfied?" Li Yuan said.

"Satisfied, very satisfied. The child is so beautiful. I named him Zhewei."

"This is a good name." Li Yuan nodded.

"Uncle Uncle, we are a uncle, so I don't go around with you. Now, the emperor is very worried about the surname Li. Uncle, your situation is a bit subtle. Although Your Majesty has not said to touch you yet, you can't wait for Your Majesty to take action before thinking about it. It would be too late at that time, right?"

"I have been planning for you for my uncle for a while. I think at this critical moment, you are really not suitable to continue to command troops in Liaodong. Uncle, you might as well take the initiative to submit a memorial and ask the emperor to transfer you back to the capital. This way, your Majesty will feel at ease, right?"

"If you are willing to go back to Beijing, there are six ministries and nine temples, except for the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel, wherever you want to go, just say, I will definitely help you find a solution."

Li Yuan looked at Luo Cheng opposite him secretly.

"I dare not think about the Six Divisions. I can go to one place at any time. To be honest, I really don't adapt to the weather in Liaodong. It's winter again. I'm afraid of my legs. It's best to be able to return to Beijing."

"Then let me tell my uncle, how about asking him to help you find the position of Minister of the Honglu Temple?"

"Can."

"Okay, I will write to Luo Xiang again, but I have some small things here, and I want to trouble my uncle. Can you recommend a new prefect to His Majesty when you resign from the prefect of Xincheng?"

"Shicheng, do you have the right candidate?"
