Gao Zang returned to the city, but he did not bring good news to the Goguryeo people. The bombardment continued, and the flames were getting bigger and bigger, and the fire inside the city was getting smaller and faster. A quarter of it was burned just now, but now only a third of it was burned. The casualties among the people in the city were also huge, but no one could calm down and rescue the wounded. Many of these wounded people were burned alive, and no one dared to rescue them, because who knew when the Tang Dynasty people's artillery shells would fall! There is no humanitarianism in this era, so if Jingwen continues to bomb, no humanitarian human rights organization will come to ask Jingwen to cease fire. Therefore, the more Jingwen bombs, the more proud he will be. It seems that he wants to destroy Goguryeo. Blast back to the Stone Age. The whole city became a mess and could not function at all. At this time, no matter how hard the palace guards suppressed it, they could not suppress the people's dissatisfaction with Goguryeo King Gao Jianwu. Those suppressed discussions were all public discussions again, and the guards could not suppress them because there were too many people. The scene was already in chaos, and many people even started to take advantage of it. They all thought it was the end of the world and wanted to enjoy it before the end of the world. "Brother Wang, surrender quickly! As long as you issue the surrender decree, the Tang army will stop bombing!" Gao Zang said. "No, I will never surrender!" Gao Jianwu still said the same thing. Gao Zang left the palace, and Yang Wanchun and Yeon Gaesumun, who were in charge of city defense, both ran to Gao Zang. "The king still refuses to surrender!" Gao Zang said. "Yuan Gaisuwen and Yang Wanchun had complicated feelings because they also wanted to surrender, but they didn't want to surrender either. Because Yeon Gaesumun gave his female assassins to Yang Qin and asked Yang Qin to assassinate Li Shimin. Li Shimin was furious and apparently chopped up Yang Qin and fed it to the dogs on the spot. But according to Li Shimin's anger, he wanted to destroy these nine tribes who assassinated him. If they surrender, then one of the masterminds, Yeon Gaesumun, will be executed by the nine tribes. And that Yang Qin is Yang Wanchun's brother. Then will Yang Wanchun also be implicated in the extermination of the nine tribes? If they were involved in the Tang Dynasty, their family might also be destroyed. So on one side Yang Wanchun and Yeon Gaesumun wanted to surrender, but on the other side they were afraid that they would be implicated. As for the reason why Gao Jianwu appointed them as city defense officials, it was actually because they were unable to surrender. After all, assassinating the emperor is a very serious crime. If you are not careful, you will destroy the nine tribes. This made them don't know what to do, so they were very hesitant. "That's okay! For the sake of the people, we will never stop doing anything. Let's change the King of Goguryeo!" Gao Zang said. Yeon Gaesumun and Yang Wanchun both understood what he meant, which was to replace Gao Jianwu with another Goguryeo king. When the time comes, another Goguryeo king will surrender. This can be regarded as a legal surrender. As for everything that happens next, it all depends on how Datang handles it. "As long as the Tang Dynasty can pardon us, then we can surrender!" Yuengai Suwen said. "Me too!" Yang Wanchun also said. Soon, Yuan Gaisuwen and Yang Wanchun also sent people out, and then came to the Datang military camp. "His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, our general said that as long as you are willing to pardon their family, they are willing to let the King of Goguryeo surrender." "Yes, the same is true for our General Yang!" After Li Shimin heard this, he also knew that it was Goguryeo in the city. People can't hold it anymore. Want to surrender. But Li Shimin remembered the last time he was almost assassinated. This made Li Shimin's face turn cold again. Li Shimin would never allow anyone to assassinate him, so he was willing to pardon them in his heart. After all, assassinating the emperor is a more serious crime than starting a rebellion. For most emperors. The probability of death due to rebellion is actually not high. But if you are assassinated, it may be very dangerous, and it will be very miserable. Therefore, almost any emperor has zero tolerance for assassinations. Li Shimin is no exception. So Li Shimin was naturally very unhappy when he heard that they wanted to pardon his assassin. Jing Wen rolled his eyes and said, "Actually, my emperor is benevolent and will not be too implicated. I believe that my emperor will be able to pardon your death penalty!" "Thank you, your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!" said the two envoys. . Li Shimin glared at Jing Wen again, obviously annoyed by Jing Wen's words. Li Shimin was already thinking about how to kill these people, but now Jing Wen actually said something about pardoning their death penalty, which made Li Shimin very upset. Jing Wen said something about the benevolence of our emperor. If Li Shimin refuted it on the spot, wouldn't he think that he was not a benevolent emperor? As a person who cares about face, Li Shimin was very confused and didn't know how to answer. And next to?There is also a Queen of Silla. Of course she cannot expose her ugliness in front of women and say that she is not a benevolent emperor. "Your Majesty, our master will definitely convince the King of Goguryeo to surrender!" The two envoys saw that their mission was completed and left immediately. Li Shimin immediately said to Jing Wen displeased: "Why did you overstep your authority and agree to pardon their death penalty? You don't know, I hate this kind of assassination. Moreover, didn't they almost get together last time?" Did they kill you? Don't you hate them?" But Jing Wen also showed a sinister look and said, "Your Majesty, haven't you heard of the saying that death penalty can be avoided, but living punishment will not be spared. , we will arrest them and put them on trial after we enter the city. Then we can deal with them at any time as long as I don't let them be sentenced to death on the spot. Death by time, death by drinking water, or death by nature while sleeping is none of our business. " Li Shimin started to hear about hide-and-seek, death by drinking water, death by sleeping, etc. He didn't know what it was. Meaning, but soon Li Shimin understood the corresponding meaning under Jing Wen's blinking hint. "Hahahaha" Li Shimin and Jing Wen laughed slyly. And the Queen of Silla, Kinderman, also shook her head, obviously very speechless for these treacherous guys. These two guys are so treacherous, they actually take advantage of people and then treat them like garbage. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
