Chapter 408: Restoring the Previous Dynasty and Restoring Daxin

On the thirteenth day of the first month of the first year of Zhaowu in the Tang Dynasty, the royal city of Goguryeo Peninsula.

After half a month of escaping at sea, Jin King Chen Longxiang's treasure ship "Japanese Destroyer" finally returned to Goguryeo. When the former demon queen Su Waner set foot on the land of Goguryeo, her hanging heart finally fell back into her stomach. inside.

The first thing Chen Longxiang did after returning to Goguryeo was to issue a martial law order as the vanguard general of the Tang Dynasty's Eastern Expedition, ordering the officers and soldiers of the Tang Navy in Nanpu Port to stop all activities and to stand by in the naval camp.

On that day, Chen Longxiang even secretly ordered the royal soldiers under his command to rush to the naval camp overnight to enforce martial law, and immediately took control of all the naval warships anchored in the port.

Immediately afterwards, half of the red cannons in the royal city were mobilized to Nanpo Port to form a sea defense line to prevent the imperial navy from raiding the royal city of Pyongyang from the sea.

The second thing is that Chen Longxiang, with the assistance of Su Waner, secretly summoned some grassroots hundreds and thousands of households in the Tang army who stayed in Goguryeo (most of these people were Chen Longxiang's cronies, or admired Chen Longxiang's bravery) officer);

A banquet was held in the palace for these low-level military generals, and a fabricated shocking news was announced to them - the Tang Dynasty was in civil strife, and the five princes wanted to rebel and united to imprison Emperor Zhaowu Chen Huaian. In the imperial palace of the capital;

As the younger brother of Emperor Zhaowu and the first prince of the Tang Dynasty, Chen Longxiang desperately escaped from the Imperial City of Jinling and returned to the Goguryeo Peninsula in order to reorganize his troops and fight back to Jinling City to rescue the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty. !

It was such a clumsy lie, but it convinced these grassroots generals who did not know the truth and were the confidants of King Jin Chen Longxiang, and they all expressed their intention to follow His Highness King Jin in raising troops to rescue the king.

Obviously, these grassroots households of the Tang Dynasty would rather believe that the founding father with a different surname was rebelling, and would never suspect that Chen Longxiang, the younger brother of Emperor Zhaowu and the first prince of the Tang Dynasty, was going to rebel!

In this way, Chen Longxiang quickly took control of one-third of the Tang Dynasty's army who stayed on the Goguryeo Peninsula. They were all powerful generals with military power.

The third thing is that Chen Longxiang, the king of Jin, who returned from Jinling City, held a banquet in the palace of the Goguryeo Palace on the fifteenth day of the first month of the first year of Zhaowu in the Tang Dynasty on the Lantern Festival in the name of Emperor Zhaowu to "reward the three armies" to reward those who stayed on the Goguryeo Peninsula. All generals of the Tang Dynasty;

During the banquet, Chen Longxiang once again announced the news to the generals of the Tang Dynasty present that "there was civil strife in the imperial court, the princes rebelled, and the emperor was imprisoned";

This move immediately caused an uproar among the Tang generals who stayed behind.

Some were shocked, some were skeptical.

But, none of this matters anymore.

Chen Longxiang, who had already brainwashed and controlled hundreds and thousands of grassroots households in the Tang army, gave an order and immediately arrested and detained all the Tang generals who came to the banquet, and forcibly collected their troop mobilizing tiger charms to use the Tang Dynasty's Eastern Expedition. As the vanguard general of the army and the first prince of the Tang Dynasty, he ordered the three armies of the Tang Dynasty to stay on the Goguryeo Peninsula.

This series of methods by Jin King Chen Longxiang were quickly implemented by the Tang army in the Goguryeo Peninsula at lightning speed. It took almost no effort to control the situation on the Goguryeo Peninsula in a very short period of time.

Of course, Jin King Chen Longxiang's immature mind and skills were not enough to plan such a careful military coup.

Among them, there is naturally the shadow of the former Demon Queen Su Waner who is adding fuel to the flames.

The military coup that occurred on the Goguryeo Peninsula was something that Su Waner had been planning on her way out of Jinling City in a panic.

It was Su Waner's first attempt to confront and confront the Tang Dynasty and Emperor Zhaowu Chen Huaian.

So far, the development of the situation is moving in the direction that Su Waner expected.

The next step, Su Waner's plan is to instigate Jin King Chen Longxiang to support her eldest son Zhao Lingwu to restore his status as emperor in the Goguryeo Peninsula.

To sum it up, it can be summed up in eight words - restore the previous dynasty and restore the new era!

Of course, Su Wan'er also knows that these eight words are simple to say, but extremely difficult to do.

However, she is confident and must convince King Chen Longxiang of Jin to do what she wants!

It's night.

In the harem of the Goguryeo Royal City.

Jin King Chen Longxiang sat blankly in Su Waner's palace, still wearing the golden armor passed down from his father and brother, looking at the flickering candlelight in the palace with a serious expression and slightly dull eyes.

Just today, just two hours ago, under the guise of the emperor's brother "rewarding the three armies", he lured all the twenty-seven generals and above from the Tang Dynasty who were staying on the Goguryeo Peninsula into the palace;

Moreover, he personally ordered hundreds of soldiers under his command to control all the generals of the Tang Dynasty, confiscated their troop deployment tiger charms, and went to various military camps on the Goguryeo Peninsula overnight to control the situation.

At first, Chen Longxiang, who had been in a state of high spirits, issued a series of orders in the army entirely under Su Waner's instructions and relying on his "first-time father" instinct;

However, when the excitement in his heart dissipated and the whole person gradually began to regain his senses, he suddenly realized, God, what have I done in this period of time?

You are rebelling!

To rebel against the Tang Dynasty, to rebel against his own imperial brother, to rebel against his own Chen family!

Although Chen Longxiang is not very mentally sound, he is still young, frivolous and rebellious;

But he could still distinguish right from wrong.

When he woke up, he realized that he had accidentally poked a hole in the sky!

Now, the situation on the Goguryeo Peninsula is temporarily under his control.

If nothing unexpected happens, the 500,000 Tang troops left behind on the Goguryeo Peninsula should also obey the orders of the vanguard general and the Tang prince, right?

But what's next?

What should I do next?

Chen Longxiang repeatedly questioned himself in his heart, what should he do after gaining control of the 500,000 troops on the Goguryeo Peninsula?

Should he continue to defend Goguryeo as a prince of the Tang Dynasty?

Or, openly raise the banner of rebellion, and establish himself as an emperor on the Goguryeo Peninsula like his brother did when he raised an army to quell the rebellion?

Or, like he deceived the Tang generals under his command, lead his troops to conquer the west, fight to Jinling City, and rescue Emperor Zhaowu?

Chen Longxiang's "brain capacity" was not enough to begin with, and facing such a complex situation all of a sudden made him seem exhausted and at a loss.

Until now, he still didn't know what to do.

On one side, there were his brother and family who had doted on him since childhood;

On the other side, there was the woman he loved deeply, who was pregnant with his flesh and blood;

Both sides were flesh, and Chen Longxiang didn't want to hit either side!

But the reality was that he was forced to make a choice little by little, step by step, or to be more precise, he had already made a choice;

From tonight, the moment he ordered the confiscation of the tiger talisman of all Tang generals on the Goguryeo Peninsula, he had only one way left, which was to turn against his brother Chen Huaian and fight against each other.

At this moment, Chen Longxiang suddenly found that he seemed to have experienced the mood of his elder brother Chen Huaian when he locked himself in the study of the palace with several envoys on the eve of the uprising in Longcheng;

Perhaps, my elder brother was also suffering like me back then?

Or maybe, the eldest brother was unwilling to take the road of rebellion, but for the sake of the lives and property of the family members of the palace, he had to force himself to take this road;

Just like what I am doing now, for the sake of the child in Wan'er's belly, I am even willing to turn against my brothers and fight against my own family?

"Prince——"

Just at this moment, a gentle call brought the thoughts of Jin Wang Chen Longxiang, who was lost in thought, back to reality.

Su Wan'er, who had just coaxed the young former dynasty deposed emperor Zhao Lingwu to sleep, came out of the inner hall with a big belly, looked at Jin Wang Chen Longxiang with a warm face, and said distressedly: "Prince, it's late at night, why don't you take off your armor and rest?"

As she spoke, Su Wan'er came to Chen Longxiang's side and asked sympathetically: "Prince, are you worried?"

"Otherwise, I will help you take off your armor!"

As she said, Su Wan'er really started to take action, preparing to help Chen Longxiang take off his armor with her own hands.

"Wan'er——"

Finally, Chen Longxiang came to his senses and held Su Wan'er's boneless hand, smiling and saying, "I'm fine. This armor is heavy, and you are pregnant, so don't worry about it for me, so as not to cause miscarriage!"

After saying that, Chen Longxiang stood up and began to take off the golden armor on his body.

Su Wan'er was a smart person, how could she not guess Chen Longxiang's thoughts?

This time was the time for her to add fuel to the fire and completely break up the two brothers Chen Huaian and Chen Longxiang. It was also a good time to relieve Chen Longxiang's psychological burden, so that he could rebel without scruples, help his eldest son Chen Lingwu to regain the throne, and restore his status as emperor.

While Chen Longxiang was taking off his armor, Su Wan'er also thoughtfully brought a basin of hot water for Chen Longxiang, and personally soaked the towel in the hot water, wrung it dry, and wiped Chen Longxiang's cheek.

Su Wan'er said: "Your Highness, you are worried about how to deal with the 500,000 troops left in Goguryeo after confiscating the military power of these generals who stayed in Goguryeo, right?"

Yes!

Chen Longxiang did not deny it. After nodding, he took the white towel from Su Wan'er's hand and helped Su Wan'er sit down on the chair;

It is not difficult to see that Chen Longxiang still dotes on Su Wan'er.

Then, Chen Longxiang said: "What I am worried about is not only the future of the 500,000 troops, but also how to deal with the relationship with the court;"

"Paper will eventually reveal the truth. I launched a mutiny on the Goguryeo Peninsula under the guise of the rebellion of the five dukes in the court and the imprisonment of the emperor. The truth will eventually come to light;"

"By that time, how should I face and deal with these grassroots generals in the army? Whether they are still willing to continue to follow me in the war is still a big problem!"

Hey--

Speaking of this, Chen Longxiang couldn't help but sigh.

Then, he put his arm around Su Wan'er's shoulders and said casually, "Forget it, let's not talk about this. I can definitely handle all of this properly;"

"Wan'er, just rest assured and take care of your baby in the harem;"

"Your first task is to take care of yourself and the baby in your belly. I will take care of everything else, so don't worry about it!"

"Your Highness——"

Su Wan'er turned around, looked at Chen Longxiang with a pair of peach blossom eyes, and said sincerely, "Your Highness, I have an immature idea that may help you solve the dilemma you are facing now."

Hmm?

Hearing this, Chen Longxiang raised his eyebrows and asked subconsciously: "Wan'er, tell me your thoughts, I will listen!"

Su Wan'er blinked her big watery eyes and said innocently: "Your Highness, now that we have torn our faces with the Tang Dynasty;"

"Why don't you take this opportunity to support Xiao Lingwu to return to the throne, restore the previous dynasty, and restore Daxin!"
