At this time, in the Anton Governor's Mansion, Gu Tianya stood on the top floor with his hands behind his hands. This is the tallest building in the city and he can have a bird's eye view of almost everything in the city.

Suddenly he asked with a smile and said with deep meaning: "The little beggar took Zhao Laosi's steamed buns again. What do you think of this matter?"

Not far behind him, Yeon Gaesumun stood with his hands lowered. Hearing this, he replied: "People are hungry and want to eat."

Gu Tianya turned back to look at him, smiled and asked, "Is it that simple?"

Yuan Gaisuwen hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly and said: "It's that simple to report back to the master of the family."

Gu Tianya laughed, pointed at him, and said meaningfully: "You, you, didn't tell the truth. In fact, you don't need to be so cautious. You should know that I am an open-minded person."

Yeon Gae So Moon remained silent.

It wasn't until a long while later that the man spoke again and said: "Goguryeo has been defeated, and the people should not have too many thoughts. For them, living is the most important thing. If you think about resistance all day long, you are not suitable to be a

Submissive people..."

He paused as he spoke, looked at Gu Tianya solemnly, and then said: "This little beggar can barely be an obedient citizen."

Gu Tianya looked at him with the same gaze and asked: "Why?"

Yeon Gaesumun took a deep breath and said softly: "The reason is very simple. This little beggar is willing to accept Zhao Laosi's steamed buns."

Gu Tianya asked again, "Although this little beggar is willing to accept the steamed buns, there are still many people in Goguryeo who are unwilling to accept them. How do you think we should deal with this situation?"

Yeon Gae So Moon remained silent again.

However, Gu Tianya refused to let him be silent and continued: "Let's use an analogy now. Your and my identities are swapped. If this happens, what will happen to you?"

Yeon Gaesumun took another deep breath and said, "This analogy is useless because I am not you after all."

"What if I have to ask you to put yourself in someone else's shoes?" Gu Tianya smiled faintly.

Yeon Gaesumun's eyes suddenly darkened, and he said loudly: "Since the head of the family insists on asking, then I will tell you clearly. If it were me who was responsible for handling this matter, I would order the killing of a group of resisters. If a group of resisters were killed,

If you are still dissatisfied after that, I will continue to order another group of people to be killed..."

Gu Tianya sighed, shook his head slightly and said, "If you do this, you won't be able to win over the people."

"Then don't naturalize, just make them afraid!"

Yeon Gaesumun looked murderous and said in a deep voice: "I still say what I said, Goguryeo has been destroyed. As the people at the bottom, they shouldn't have too many thoughts... Since they are unwilling to naturalize, then let them

Fear. In this way, you can still rule."

Gu Tianya glanced at him and suddenly laughed out loud: "You are now the leader of the Goguryeo people, how can you be so cruel to your compatriots?"

Yeon Gae Suwen spoke without hesitation and said loudly: "If I don't be more ruthless, they will be the ones who suffer in the end. The country has been destroyed, but the people are resisting. They are going to a dead end, and what I have to do is

Bring them back."

Gu Tianya sighed and said: "But your method is not good. You can't bring people back by killing. From ancient times to the present, in any era, killing will never convince people, it will only create greater hatred in people."

Yeon Gaesumun sneered and said calmly: "What can hatred do? They can't change the world."

Gu Tianya waved his hand gently and said solemnly: "What I need are my people, not enemies with hatred. So, you should follow my method."

Yeon Gaesowun hesitated and asked tentatively: "Are you going to continue to appease them?"

Gu Tianya breathed out slowly, turned his head and looked down at the street in the distance, and said: "It's not comforting, but exchanging heart for heart. For me, the people of Goguryeo are also common people..."

"Although they are temporarily resistant, this cannot be entirely blamed on them. It is because of the characteristics of your nation, which has an extremely strong xenophobia in your bones."

"They are xenophobic, but I am tolerant. People's hearts are full of flesh and blood. I believe that one day I will be able to influence them."

When Gu Tianya said this, he looked down at the street in the distance again, and slowly said: "You should continue to implement the policy I set before."

Yuan Gaisuwen was obviously hesitant again, and after a long while he said: "Do you still insist on using the policy of 'Liao people governing Liao'? This policy is likely to breed great hidden dangers..."

Gu Tianya smiled slightly and said calmly: "You also said it's just a hidden danger!"

Yeon Gae Suwen finally stopped insisting and nodded solemnly: "Since you have made your decision, I will say no more. In fact, for me, I should support this policy. Because after all, I am a Goguryeo, and I also want the Goguryeo people to be harmed.

Be kind.”

Gu Tianya turned to look at him and suddenly asked with profound meaning: "Do you really not understand the intention of my policy?"

Yeon Gae So Moon remained silent again.

This time he was silent for half a cup of tea, and then he sighed extremely bitterly and said: "If this policy continues to be implemented, one day there will be no more Goguryeo people in the world. At that time, they will forget their origins.

At that time, they will consider themselves Han Chinese."

Gu Tianya immediately asked again, "Do you accept this ending?"

Yeon Gaesumun slowly raised his head, looked straight at the sky, and said: "To be honest, I am unwilling. But I know clearly that this is the future of the Goguryeo people."

Gu Tianya nodded with a smile, stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder, saying, "I finally heard the truth from you."

Yeon Gaesumun suddenly clasped his fists, bent down and bowed deeply, saying loudly: "Master of the family, I, Yeon Gaesumun, thank you for your policy."

Gu Tianya did not reach out to help him, but quietly waited for Yuan Gaisuwen to finish the ceremony.

It wasn't until Yeon Gaesumun straightened up that Gu Tianya smiled and asked again: "For the ordinary people of Goguryeo, I chose to adopt a heart-for-heart policy. But what about those who are hiding in the mountains and training secretly? How do you think it should be used?

What policy?”

Yeon Gae Suwen suddenly reached out his hand to his waist, pulled out his sword with a clang, and said solemnly: "The general believes that no one will be left alive. If you allow it, I will immediately order the mobilization of the army. Under the encirclement and suppression of the army, we can kill him in half a month."

A perfect sight."

Gu Tianya breathed out slowly, and for some reason he shook his head and said, "I'm afraid hundreds of thousands of people will be killed."

Yeon Gae Suwen was obviously startled and said: "They are rebels."

Gu Tianya laughed and said: "We are rebels now, but that doesn't mean we will still be rebels in the future. I think this matter can be postponed for a while, so don't send troops to encircle and suppress it for the time being..."

He paused for a moment before saying with a smile: "As long as those people don't go out of the mountains and forests and don't cause turmoil and destruction everywhere, then let's keep them for now."

He paused again and said again: "These hundreds of thousands of rebels can't be all alone, right?"

Yeon Gaesumun looked enlightened and said thoughtfully: "They must have wives and children. And their wives and children should still be living in various cities."

Gu Tianya looked into the distance and said leisurely: "When my policy of 'Liao people governing Liao' continues to be implemented, the wives and children of these people will definitely be treated well. If they still want to cause turmoil and destruction at that time, it is likely that the wives will be destroyed.

Life with children..."

Yeon Gaesumun took a deep breath and said solemnly: "The general finally understands."

…

At this time, in the city, at the corner of the street.

The little beggar held the steamed bun in both hands, and his face showed the hesitation of a battle between heaven and man, but in the end, he chose to bring the steamed bun to his mouth.

It was just two steamed buns. After devouring them in a blink of an eye, the little beggar felt a little stronger. He slowly stood up from the ground.

He took a deep breath and walked out of the corner of the street.

When a clerk saw him on the street, he immediately waved with a gentle smile on his face and shouted from a distance: "Little guy, come quickly, our team is waiting for you, come here quickly and follow us."

The little beggar suddenly felt panicked when he was called by the little official. He lowered his head subconsciously and felt that his face was a little hot.

He was cowardly and whispered, constantly making excuses for himself, murmuring: "This is just an exchange, I am definitely not obeying. The Han people gave me steamed buns, and I worked hard... and the work was to build a building and adopt Goguryeo orphans."

Orphanage."

While he was muttering, he suddenly felt someone tapping his shoulder. He was startled and subconsciously looked up.

Only then did I realize that he had already entered the team.

He himself didn't understand why he walked into the team so quickly.

But he saw that it was the little official who patted him on the shoulder. He was looking at him with a gentle smile. Not only did the little official smile gently, but his tone was also very gentle. He asked him softly: "You little guy, why are you here today?"

Are you eating so slowly? Are you not full? If you are not full, you must tell me."

The smile on the clerk's face made the little beggar panic again. He hurriedly lowered his head again and stammered in defense: "No...no, I'm full."

"Hahahaha, I'll just say it!"

The clerk laughed loudly, then slapped him hard on the shoulder, and said: "I just told General Zhao Si that you only need two steamed buns to satisfy your age, but General Zhao Si didn't believe it and insisted.

I’ll give you another one.”

The little beggar was stunned for a moment and said blankly: "He, he is worried that I won't have enough to eat?"

The clerk nodded and said with a smile: "Isn't that right? General Zhao Si is such a person. He always thinks that a little guy of your age should eat more and not spoil it, otherwise he will feel distressed."

The little beggar subconsciously said: "He, is he distressed?"

A hint of cunning flashed in the clerk's eyes, and he deliberately refused to answer the question. Instead, he said: "But I think you don't have a big appetite, so we made a bet and asked him to give you two steamed buns first and wait for you.

After eating, I will ask if you are full..."

As he spoke, he laughed again, pretending to be proud and said: "Now it seems that I have won, hahahaha. When I see General Zhao Si later, I will laugh at him."

The little beggar listened in a daze, and unknowingly he raised his drooped head. He didn't know why, but suddenly blurted out: "Please don't mock him."

As soon as he said the words, he immediately felt something was wrong, so he immediately lowered his head hurriedly, feeling that his face was even hotter, and cowardly defended: "I, I am not, I am not grateful to that general, I just said it casually.

.”

The clerk's eyes flashed with cunning again.
