After Li Tong and his party returned to the Luxinfang residence, when the family members came forward to see the boxes and cages loaded on the carriage and unloaded them for inventory, they saw the precious goods with jewels and treasures in the cages, and hurriedly reported them.

After Li Tong received the news, he was quite surprised and hurried to the side ward to check it out. Ouyang Tong was an honest official and a kind person. Li Tong thought that these two trucks of goods should be just literary and ink items, so he didn't care much about it, but after entering the warehouse, he was moved when he saw his family spread the goods on the truck.

These gifts are mainly made of mink fur and colorful satin, and there are even more than a dozen smooth and tough animal skins. The royal palace guards have found that they are leather materials such as seal skins, which can be used to make many military objects, saddles and armor linings.

The colorful satin craftsmanship is not very exquisite, but the materials are extraordinary. When it shakes, it will emit a dazzling light like a morning glow. This should belong to Goryeo Brocade. Although it is not as exquisite as Shu Brocade, the material is desirable. There are not many goods on the market, so the price is a bit higher.

In addition, there are also beads with lots of beads, smooth cold jade, including orchids for women's cosmetics, and the ability to make silk musical instruments, even tough silks for bows and crossbows, animal tendons, etc., which are all valuable precious materials.

"King, there are books here."

Yang Sixu presented it with a letter in his hand, and Li Tong opened it and realized it in his heart.

This batch of gifts was donated collectively by some Goguryeo moving into the capital of Shendu to thank the young king for punishing Lai Junchen's deeds.

Lai Junchen, a guy who has made a grudge against the capital, was just a talk. Even Goguryeo and other countries were seriously injured. At the beginning of the year, he was forced to bribe Jun Quan Xiancheng, the general of the Right Guard, and was imprisoned and forced to death by Luo Zhi.

Quan Xiancheng was born in the Quan family of Goguryeo. Before his death, he was the general of the Right Guard and the Yulin Guard. He was in charge of the two yamen in the north and south. It can be said that he was of high power and was a representative and leader of the people who moved to the court in Goguryeo.

When Li Tong learned who gave the gift, he couldn't help but smile. He had already thought that his singular punishment of Lai Junchen would definitely attract the enemies who came to Lai Junchen to vote for him, but he didn't expect that such a big fish would be the first to join the Internet.

During the reign of Emperor Gaozong, after Goguryeo was destroyed, hundreds of thousands of households, including the Goguryeo royal family, and the powerful minister Quan moved inward.

Although most of these Goguryeo lost people were arranged in the border areas as vassals of the Tang army and participated in the Tang Dynasty's expeditions against the surrounding barbarians, many were arranged in the two capitals, as the core of the empire. In particular, the already prominent Gao family and Quan family, they even joined the dynasty to serve as prominent positions and participated in the ruling rule of the Goguryeo area.

Just around the capital of Shenluoyang, there were tens of thousands of households who had fallen in Goguryeo. Although they were included in prefectures and counties, they still maintained deep contacts with the famous old countries and sects.

The reason why Li Tong knew this was so clear is that Quan Xiancheng's residence in Shendu City was located in Jixianfang on the southwest side of his Luxinfang residence. In the past year, when their brothers were in Shendu and Quan Xiancheng was not dead, occasionally outside the yard, they could see Quan Xiancheng's residence in a crowded city, and there were old Goguryeo people visiting and working in diligently.

The influence of the Quan family among the remnants of Goguryeo was even far greater than that of the royal family. Its ancestors were Yuan Taizuo, who had resisted the eastern expedition of Emperor Yang of Sui during the Sui Dynasty and Yuan Gaisuwen, the last powerful minister of Goguryeo. He changed to the Quan family because he avoided the taboo of Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan of Tang.

It is precisely because of this that Wu Zetian attaches so much importance to Quan Xiancheng, and the military power of the two yamen in the north and south was coexisting. However, the wood was outstanding in the forest, and the wind would destroy it. No matter how powerful the Quan family was, it was just a group of people who destroyed the country.

During the Tianshu period, the situation was unpredictable, and the prime ministers in southern provinces all went to death in batches. It was precisely because of this that Li Tong used the name of mourning to avoid the peak of this struggle. Military power was already sensitive, and it was reasonable for Quan Xiancheng to stand in such a prominent position and be criticized and framed by others.

Although the reason on the surface is that Lai Junchen was unable to seek bribes, the matter is definitely not that simple. At least, if Wu Zetian wants to save anyone, Lai Junchen will never be able to harm him. For example, this time the conflict broke out with Li Tong, and his family was taken away and he dared not show up.

"Let's put these goods away for now, and let's ask about the affairs of these Goguryeo residents."

Although these wealth is of great value, Li Tong did not pay much attention to it. Xijing City made a fortune and was confiscated by his grandmother, Li Tong's vision was also widened and he did not value the value of this wealth. He was very interested in the kindness expressed by these Goguryeo residents.

Although Quan Xiancheng was easily killed by Lai Junchen, there must be a deeper reason, which does not mean that the power of these Goguryeo deceased people is weak. However, it is certain that these Goguryeo people have such a heavy gift, and it is definitely not just a simple thank you. There will inevitably be some following.

When Li Tong saw that the gifts listed on the list included some representatives of the former Goguryeo clan, including the current Korean prince Gao Baoyuan, Quan Xiancheng's clan uncle, and Quan Nanchan, who was appointed as Sishen Shaoqing.

Li Tong only returned from the forbidden area yesterday, and today he visited Ouyang Tong. In such a short time, those people were able to go through Ouyang Tong's path and give such heavy goods with Ouyang Tong's hand, which shows that the energy is still quite large.

Of course, Li Tong did not dare to hope to use this to collect all these Goguryeo remnants for his own use. After all, how to manage these people, including the former place of Goguryeo, is already a national strategic choice, and it is far from what he, a newly seized Phoenix, could operate.

However, even if these characters cannot use their own power, it is good to maintain a good interactive relationship. I believe these people also have such thoughts. They are already miserable in their destruction of the country, and they also feel sad that they are such a big figure like Quan Xiancheng. At present, they should also make good relationships, hoping to have multiple friends and multiple ways.

Compared with Xijing, Luoyang is Li Tong's home court. Although he has been away for several years, some personnel and relationships are still maintained. So soon, the relevant information was sent back to the royal residence.

Yao Yuanchong, who is now a Xiaguan Officer of the Ministry of War, came to the door personally while he was resting, and told the young king about the issues of these Goguryeo tribes in the court. Especially about Quan Xiancheng's death, although Lai Junchen was the one who took action on the surface, there was also a lot of thrust from important figures behind him.

For example, Li Zhaode, who served as the Minister of Xia before becoming the prime minister, had a lot of complaints about the issues in the foreign generals' sanctions.

Now in the Shendu imperial guard system, there are as many as seven or eight foreign generals at the level of the general in the Nanya. In addition to Quan Xiancheng, there are also Heichi Changzhi, including Turkish Ashina family, and Nanzhao Xintou tribe chiefs.

Although there are also many arrangements for the detention of the vain position and the remote commander, the proportion of the generals of the Sixteen Guards is also quite amazing. In Li Zhaode's words, "My China is not only for the powerful slaves and powerful ones."

Li Tong also agreed with Li Zhaode's remarks like Emperor Han, but at the same time he had to admit that it is definitely not a good phenomenon to support a large empire with a vast territory, inclusiveness and ruling different ethnic groups and regions.

As long as you are willing to work hard for me, you will be a good comrade and you will not be stingy with the award of famous titles.

Of course, the grasp of the degree here tests the ruler's standards, and after all, it is necessary to combine it with the overall trend to make trade-offs.

It must have been too much to do this like his grandmother Wu Zetian, and it was too over-reward, which made the foreigners not know that I was famous and powerful. It is hard to say that Quan Xiancheng's death was attributed to someone. Even if Li Zhaode expressed his dissatisfaction, he had not yet become the prime minister at that time, and it was impossible for him to be in sync with Lai Junchen and punish Quan Xiancheng for not guilty.

Yao Yuanchong also mentioned that when Quan Xiancheng was also in the Yulin Army, he had a lot of conflicts with the kings of the Wu family. Even Wu Yizong once cursed the foreigners in the Xiangying camp for not knowing how to live or die. Thinking about the temperament of the Wu family, it may not necessarily be necessary to offend him in a tit-for-tat way. At the critical moment, the key position was just to perform his duties without any convenience. For the Wu kings who had a lot of confidence in recent years, they might have offended them.

In short, this is a confusing account, so I can only take the blame directly.

After learning about this, Li Tong felt relieved when he learned that Quan Xiancheng was not involved in any sensitive incident that was openly violating taboos. He turned around and ordered his family to take the list to visit Xie's families separately to maintain a relationship.

He still had a lot of ideas about these Goguryeo survivors. Even if he could not respond to each other politically, the power of people and things was worth citing.

For example, the Fanhu merchants who are active in the market between the two capitals are now. Since the four towns in Anxi have not been restored and the business roads in the Western Regions are not smooth, the foreign merchants in Annan, Donghu and other places are still dominated by far-reaching merchants. It can also be seen from the gifts sent to the royal residence that these far-reaching treasures are of many types and are of great value, as well as other transactions such as Goryeo and Silla maids.

In other words, these Goguryeo had no political protection when they were destroyed, but their economic strength was still good. For example, the chiefs and merchants of the Donghu tribes took the big heads.

Li Tong's stall is very big and his plan is big. The use of wealth and goods will naturally be more good.

In addition to these, there are a large number of Goguryeo survivors who moved inward, and there are also many talents.

In addition to the old tribes like the Gao family and the Quan family on the table, such as the famous generals of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Gao Xianzhi and Wang Sili, were all poor scholars and talents from around Goguryeo City.

In short, it is good to maintain a harmonious relationship with this group, both in front of you and after. His grandmother failed to fully exploit the dividends of the destruction of the country, so of course he had no reason to be polite.

After punishing Lai Junchen, he also occupied his house, which also attracted the Goguryeo remnants to actively show their kindness. Li Tong rarely came to this world so readily.

Unfortunately, that guy Lai Junchen hid too deeply and was about to leave. Otherwise, Li Tong would really want to dig it out and beat it up in public. It would be a big gift package!
