    "What, so fast?" When Li Min heard the news, he stood up from his chair in shock, walked back and forth in the cabin for a few steps, then suddenly turned around and said, "Zhou Kun, tell me the details.  Speak!" Historically, Yeon Gaesumun did kill King Yeongliu. Although Li Min couldn't remember the time clearly, it was definitely not the eleventh year of Zhenguan.

    "Yes! Although Goguryeo appears to be a complete country on the surface, it is actually divided into two factions, the north and the south. The north is a military general group headed by the Yuan family, which controls most of Goguryeo's military and political affairs. The south is based on supporting King Yeongliu.  Mainly civil servants. In the past, when Eulji Mundeok was alive, these civil servants in the south could still suppress the general group in the north"

    Following Zhou Kun's explanation, Li Min gradually understood the domestic situation in Goguryeo. Generally speaking, the Yuan family, a powerful minister, and King Rongliu, a weak leader, each had their own strength, among which the Yuan family controlled  Most of the country's military power and one minister's political power have their main influence in the north. King Rongliu controls a small part of the military power and most of his political power, and his main influence is in the south.  When talking about this force in Goguryeo, we have to mention one person, and that is Ulji Mundeok in Zhou Kun's mouth.

    Eulji Mundeok was highly praised by stickmen in later generations, saying that he led Goguryeo to repel the invasion of the former Sui Dynasty and was a great hero of Goguryeo.  In fact, these are all nonsense. The reason why the Sui army retreated at that time was because of logistical problems and the general's underestimation of the enemy, which resulted in poor results. This made Yang Guang frustrated and ordered the withdrawal.

    After Yeon Gaesomun¡¯s father Yuan Taejo died, he planned to pass his position of Molizhi to his son Yuangaesomun. The so-called Molizhi was the prime minister of Goguryeo, and even had more power than the prime minister.  But Eulji Mundeok relied on his military exploits.  As well as the support of other civil servants, they seized Mo Liji's position. Because of this, Eulji Wende was at odds with the Yuan family, so he worked with the civil servant group to suppress the Yuan family and other leaders.

    Eulji Munde¡¯s military exploits were outstanding and his prestige in the army was extremely high.  Therefore, when he was alive, the Southern Civil Service Group was still very effective in controlling the army. However, since Eulji Mundeok's death, Yeon Gaesumun, who had been hiding for many years, began to exert his strength, using the Yeon family's connections and many years of prestige.  Slowly, he took 70% to 80% of the entire army into his own hands, and even began to intervene in political affairs.  Now the Yuan family's influence is not limited to the north. The entire country of Goguryeo is under the control of the Yuan family.

    Faced with this situation, King Rongliu naturally felt dissatisfied for a long time, but he was intimidated by the power of the Yuan family.  Don't dare to act rashly.  But this situation was broken last year.  After Li Min presented Li Shimin with a plan to alienate Goguryeo.  It was immediately implemented by Li Shimin, who sent many spies to sneak into Goguryeo, bribed, threatened, assassinated, framed, etc., and used all possible means to make the relationship between the two groups extremely bad.

    And at the beginning of this year, King Yeongryu finally couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to plot to get rid of Yeon Gaesoo and others.  However, this news was learned by Zhou Kun and others of the Tang Dynasty, and some clues were leaked to Yuan Gaisuwen and others.

    When Yeon Gaesomun knew that King Yeongryu wanted to get rid of him.  Naturally, he was extremely angry, and after discussing with several other powerful generals.  Prepare to take a preemptive strike and launch a mutiny before the Spring Festival this year to eliminate King Rongliu and the forces around him in one fell swoop.  Zhou Kun learned about the news that the Yuan family was preparing to mutiny, and was about to come back to report, but unfortunately he was noticed by the Yuan family, so he pursued him closely, fearing that he would leak the news.

    "What an opportunity!" Li Min walked back and forth in the room excitedly, thinking about the impact of this incident on Datang.  If there is civil strife in Goguryeo, it will be a good opportunity for the Tang Dynasty to raise troops. With the strength of the Tang Dynasty's military, it will be easy to destroy this small Goguryeo. If Goguryeo is destroyed, Silla and Baekje will follow. Although Xinluo  Luo deliberately flattered Datang, but with Li Shimin's ambition and appetite, coupled with Li Min's provocation at the side, he would never leave any chance to the ancestors of these sticks.

    At night, there was still some distance from Dengzhou, but the fleet did not dare to move forward in the dark.  Li Min used to think that the sea was so big that he could go in any direction he wanted, but later he learned that this was not the case at all. Take the Bohai Strait as an example. Because of the large number of islands, the strait is divided into eight wide and narrow strips.  Different waterways.  The Dengzhou Waterway that Li Min and the others were walking on was only about ten feet deep at its deepest point, and it was surrounded by exposed and hidden reefs. If they were not careful, tens of thousands of ships could be destroyed and people would be killed. Therefore, Li Min and the others could only find a  We anchored on the island and rested for one night before returning to Dengzhou the next morning.

    Before Li Min and his fleet arrived at the port, ships waiting along the way had already spread the news to Dengzhou. By the time their ship entered the port, the dock was already full of people welcoming them back.  Under Li Min's special arrangement, the crew of the Tiger Shark Slave Hunting Team were the first to disembark. When they saw these scarred people, the atmosphere on the dock immediately surged to a climax, with people scolding Goguryeo for being barbaric and praising them loudly.  His Highness King Qiof kindness.

    And when the huge whale appeared, the dock fell into a kind of silence for a short time, and then everyone began to whisper. When they knew that this was the whale that His Highness King Qi had shot to death, everyone was stunned.  They were silent. A man who dared to shoot even a divine creature in the sea, and whose birth was so noble. Coupled with the legendary color of Li Min, while they praised Li Min for his kindness, not only did they feel a surge of emotion in their hearts  An unspeakable awe.

    When Li Min stepped off the boat, the atmosphere on the dock fell into a state of silence. Everyone knelt down in unison to welcome the return of His Highness King Qi with the highest courtesy.

    Li Min was very excited when he saw everyone's reaction. He hurriedly helped the old man closest to him up and said loudly: "Dear people of Dengzhou, please get up quickly. As the governor of Dengzhou, I am the governor of Dengzhou."  , I just did what I should do, and I don¡¯t deserve such a big courtesy from everyone!¡±

    "Your Highness is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness. He even risked his own life for the sake of our people. He is so considerate of all people. Naturally, he is respected by us. Please pay homage to me again!" Hearing Li Min's words, he helped him up.  The old man immediately said loudly. This old man was well-dressed and spoke politely. He seemed to be a scholar.

    The old man's words resonated with everyone on the pier, and they all shouted loudly: "Your Highness is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness. Please accept our worship!"

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: Li Min was unable to stop them at all, and finally had to accept the salute from the people, then let them stand up, said some words to protect the country and the people, and then mounted the horse and left the dock.  As for the whale, it was pulled into Dengzhou City by several ox carts. Fortunately, the city gates and streets in Dengzhou were wide enough, otherwise it would not have been possible to enter.

    Although Dengzhou City is close to the sea, many people have seen whales in normal times, but this is the first time they saw a giant whale killed, and it was shot by His Highness King Qi himself. This strange thing naturally attracted countless people.  Onlookers, almost the entire people of Dengzhou City gathered on the main street, pointing and talking about the giant whale. Although this thing was a sacred object in their eyes, since it was shot by His Royal Highness the King of Qi, it naturally did not matter.  People feel that something is wrong, and even feel that it is natural.

    When the giant whale was transported to Prince Qi¡¯s Mansion in the center of the city, Li Min ordered that it be divided in the square in front of the Prince¡¯s Mansion. Except for the portion left by the Prince¡¯s Mansion, the rest was distributed to the people present for free.

    As soon as this order came out, many people were worried.  His Royal Highness King Qi is a noble nobleman from heaven, and he is also a deity descended to earth. Naturally, he can do whatever he wants with a divine object like a whale, but they are only mortals. If they accept this divine object, will it cause dissatisfaction in heaven?  , what disaster will this cause?

    It is precisely because of this concern that most people do not dare to come forward to collect the whale meat, blubber and other items that are cut up like hills.  However, there are still some bold people. These people may be poor or greedy for cheap. Anyway, they happily go up and get one. Some greedy people even get a few more, plus the foreign merchants.  , didn¡¯t have any respect for things like whales, so in a short time, the whale the size of three houses was cut up cleanly, and even the remaining inedible internal organs were eaten by the wild dogs in the city.  .

    "Husband, why are you so reckless? You risked taking a boat to Goguryeo for a few businessmen. If something happens, what will happen to me, Xijun, Wen'er and the other girls?" As soon as Li Min came back, he was immediately  Aunt Tiger invited her to the inner house. When Wen Xin, Xi Jun and others saw Li Min, they immediately started a series of angry reprimands. This was the first time Wen Xin got so angry since she married Li Min.

    "Wen Xin, don't worry. The sea is not as dangerous as we thought. Don't you think I'm back well now?" Li Min said with a playful smile. He didn't tell Wen Xin when he left, because with Wen  The heart cares about Li Min and will never allow him to take risks.

    "Hmph, how can we not be worried? You didn't come back last night. Do you know how worried Wen Xin was? Not only did she not sleep all night, she even cried for half the night. She hasn't even drank anything yet." Xijun saw Li  She looked stunned and immediately shouted loudly, but she was only focused on talking about Wen Xin, but she didn't notice that she also looked haggard.

    It was then that Li Min discovered that Wen Xin and Xi Jun both had red and swollen eye circles and dry lips. It was obvious that they had not had a good rest last night. Looking at Wen'er and the others, they all looked similar.  What makes him strange is that the relationship between Wen Xin and Xi Jun has never been very good. Why did they suddenly become so affectionate today?

    Li Min looked distressed and hurriedly stepped forward to put his arms around Wen Xin's slim waist to comfort her. He apologized and apologized, finally making Wen Xin happy.  As for Xijun, it would be much easier to make her happy. As soon as Li Min told her about the idea he had thought of in the sea, the little money lover immediately turned his anger into laughter.  (Unfinished)(continued)
