    "Your Majesty, it's not good. Now the people are talking about Your Majesty for killing Eulji Mundeok's family members, and they are all dissatisfied with Your Majesty." A palace guard said.  And Gao Jianwu immediately had a headache, because he believed Li Shimin's idea, saying that if he killed Eulji Wende, Tang Dynasty could retreat.  At that time, Gao Jianwu was actually dizzy for a moment, because he really had no other choice, so he wanted to take a gamble.  But I didn't expect to be used by Datang, and now they are all taken care of by Datang.  Now that it's better, his people are all disappointed in him, so he is very helpless.  And Gao Jianwu didn't have any good ideas.  "Brother Wang, we have to think of a way quickly! If this continues, I'm afraid we will all lose the support of the people! Now the whole of Pyongyang is talking about how we killed Eulji Mundeok's family, but Datang gave them  With a rich burial and generous rewards, we are really no longer human beings inside and out," Gao Zang also said.  And Gao Jianwu suddenly said harshly: "Order the defenders in the city to kill anyone who dares to discuss this matter! Gao Zang, take your troops out. If anyone dares to discuss this matter, kill him on the spot! Whether it is a common person or an official,  And the army, anyone who dares to talk about this matter will be killed! I just want to kill until no one dares to talk about it, so I want to see what anyone can do to me. " "Brother Wang, defend the people.  My mouth is better than Fangchuan!" Gao Zang said suddenly.  "It is better to prevent the people's mouth than to prevent the river, which means that the people must be allowed to speak, instead of restricting the flow of floods like blocking floods, but giving them channels to complain.  And rulers should also actively absorb these words, and then they can improve their governance and make the people's lives better.  Otherwise, if the people are not allowed to speak, it will seem that no one has an opinion, but in the end the people will be oppressed to the extreme and break out in unity.  Once it breaks out, the people will rebel.  This point existed as early as the Western Zhou Dynasty in China.  On the one hand, King Zhou Li exploited the people, but on the other hand, he also restricted the people from complaining. Anyone who dared to complain would be killed, so that the people seemed to have no complaints.  And in this way, the people were eventually forced to revolt, and King Zhou Li lost power.  "Brother Wang, what time has it been now that you can still care about this? Come here and kill all these people who are talking casually!" Gao Jianwu said angrily.  But Gao Zang had no choice but to take the palace guards to the street.  "You were the one talking about the king just now? Catch me!" the palace guard shouted.  "Catch them. Arrest them all!" "You dare to talk about the king and disrespect the king so much. You should be killed!" "Kill!" All of a sudden, the palace guards also caught hundreds of people, all of whom were talking about Gao Jianwu.  The person who killed Eulji Mundeok's family.  And they were all arrested by the palace guards, and then they were caught in front of everyone and beheaded uniformly.  And this scene was seen by many people. When these people saw this scene, they felt uncomfortable in their hearts.  "From now on, anyone who dares to discuss the king's affairs will be beheaded." The palace guards continued to shout.  But the people did not continue to say anything, but as they walked on the street, they all hinted at each other with their eyes.  And these glances also represent great meanings.  Obviously they are all explaining this matter.  The chatter on the streets in the market also stopped, and the palace guards were also patrolling. If there was anything suspicious, anyone who spoke might be involved in talking about the King of Goguryeo.  They arrested and beheaded them one after another.  At the end of the day, nearly a thousand people had been beheaded, but less than half of them actually talked about the King of Goguryeo.  The rest were casually contacted by the palace guards to relevant parties.  Then I wanted to behead him and send him to the palace to ask for rewards.  "Well, it's finally quiet now!" Gao Jianwu said.  "Your Majesty is wise, no one will talk about Your Majesty now." "Yes, yes, do ordinary people still dare to discuss Your Majesty's move? They actually dare to discuss Your Majesty like this. Isn't this seeking death? And Your Majesty's move  They should be killed until they dare not speak!¡± The sycophants around him were all flattering Gao Jianwu.  And Gao Jianwu also used these flattery words to anesthetize himself, as if he had no idea that the people outside were dissatisfied with him to the extreme.  The current situation is such that people will start to rebel if they are not careful anymore.  After all, public opinion is like a tide, it cannot be blocked, it must be relieved.  But Gao Jianwu ordered others to kill them, which was equivalent to directly blocking the flood instead of releasing the flood.  If one day the flood reaches its extreme level, it will completely erupt.  What's more, the Tang army has already arrived in Pyongyang and can attack the city at any time, which is even more dangerous.  If the people in the city and the Tang army outside the city should cooperate with each other, it would be really dangerous.  Originally, this situation would not have happened, but what happened with Eulji Munduk, and thenThe Tang army outside the city not only did not insult the bodies of Eulji Munde and his family members, but sealed them and buried them generously. This was how they truly won the hearts of the people.  And coupled with the fact that the King of Goguryeo mistreated the people so much, Gao Jianwu naturally lost the support of the people.  At such a time, who knows whether the people will seek refuge in the Tang Dynasty and choose to betray the royal families of Goguryeo?  Gao Zang was patrolling the streets. Although no one was talking about this matter, the eyes they looked at him were full of hatred or some other expression, and this made Gao Zang very scared.  Gao Zang didn't know that the people of Goguryeo were filled with anger, and it was obvious that it could explode at any time.  Once the anger of the people breaks out, it may eventually burn everything down.  By then, the royal family of Goguryeo may not be able to get better, which made Gao Zang extremely scared.  "It's the end of the dynasty!" "This is really the end of the world!" "Brother Wang, you have created a doomsday yourself." "It's better to defend the people than to defend the river. Brother Wang, you are confused!" Gao Zang looked at it speechlessly.  Looking at the people on the street, these people were originally his loyal supporters, but now they no longer support the royal family and the Goguryeo rulers.  These were all caused by the King of Goguryeo, Gao Jianwu himself, so it can be said that Gao Jianwu dug a huge grave for himself, and in the end it was enough to bury Goguryeo.  And this day may not be far away, or may even come soon.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
