"King Rongliu is dead, and he was killed by Quan Gai Suwen!" When Li Xiu heard the news, he couldn't help but show a shocked expression. Although he knew that there was a conflict between King Rongliu and Quan Gai Suwen, both sides' strength was neither bad, and no one could do anything to each other, but he didn't expect that the other party would be killed by Quan Gai Suwen so easily.

In fact, Li Xiu knew too little about Goguryeo's history. He did not know that in the original history, King Rongliu died at the hands of Quan Gai Suwen, and he died very miserably. It is said that Quan Gai Suwen killed King Rongliu with his own hands and dismembered the body. Poor King Rongliu did not even fall down after his death.

The information sent by Su Dingfang was very detailed, which talked about the reasons for the fight between King Rongliu and Quan Gai Suwen, as well as the killing of King Rongliu, which made Li Xiu understand this coup inside Goguryeo.

In fact, in recent years, King Rongliu's defense against Quan Gai Suwen has not decreased, and he has even suppressed Quan Gai Suwen. Although Quan Gai Suwen has many troops in his hands, he is a minister after all, so in the past two years, he has gradually fallen to the disadvantage. Many nobles who used to rely on him have also slowly turned to King Rongliu. It can be said that if it is not as good as an accident, Quan Gai Suwen will definitely be unable to escape death in a few years.

It is also worth mentioning that since the Tang Dynasty sent Su Dingfang to harass the border of Goguryeo in the past few years, the Goguryeo people were still desperately seeking peace, but the Tang Dynasty ignored it at all. So in order to protect itself, King Rongliu began to build a line of defense similar to the Great Wall in the country. After all, he also knew that with the weakening of his national strength, sooner or later, the Tang Dynasty would attack with all its strength, so he built such a line of defense, hoping to block the Tang Dynasty's attack in the future.

This year, Su Dingfang attacked Goguryeo again and burned countless precious food, which made King Rongliu very angry. However, he also took this opportunity to make another request to speed up the construction of the domestic defense line and ordered Quan Gai Suwen to supervise himself. In fact, it was just to find a reason to transfer Quan Gai Suwen away from the core of Goguryeo's power, so as to achieve the effect of weakening the opponent's strength.

Faced with King Rongliu's order, Quan Gai Suwen agreed on the surface, but in fact he had a rebellious heart in his heart. So he took advantage of his opportunity to leave Pyongyang and asked King Rongliu to see him off. Wang Rongliu was too careless and probably did not want to gain the reputation of persecuting important officials. As a result, although he did not go, he sent all the ministers in the court to let these people see him off for him. This also shows that King Rongliu was not completely unprepared for Quan Gai Suwen.

However, what King Rongliu never expected was that Quan Gai Suwen was much more ruthless than he thought. When the ministers saw him off, Quan Gai Suwen warmly invited these people to inspect his army and also held a banquet to entertain these ministers in the army. However, he did not expect that the ambush next to him was killed after half of the drink. More than a hundred Goguryeo ministers all died at Quan Gai Suwen.

After killing these ministers, Quanga Suwen immediately rushed into Pyongyang, attacked the palace and killed King Rongliu with his own hands, and also cruelly dismembered King Rongliu, and even the funeral was not held for the other party.

According to news from Su Dingfang, Su Wen of Quangai has now made Gao Zang, the nephew of King Rongliu, the king, and appointed himself as "Da Molizhi". He was in charge of Goguryeo's military and political power, and can be said to be the regent of Goguryeo. As for Gao Zang, he is just a puppet in his hands.

"Interesting, it seems that the reason why this Quanga Suwen was able to block the attack of the Tang Dynasty in history is indeed extraordinary!" After reading this information sent by Li Shimin, Li Xiu couldn't help but touch his chin and said to himself that he was about to go to bed tonight, but he didn't expect that Li Shimin would send such information and let him go to the palace tomorrow. It seems that he would discuss the impact of this matter on the future attack on Goguryeo.

In fact, from the perspective of the Tang Dynasty, it should be a good thing for Quangai Suwen to kill King Rongliu, and the benefits are very real. The first is that the Tang Dynasty is not afraid of sending troops without reason. Although the Tang Dynasty has been harassing Goguryeo in recent years and there is almost no diplomatic relations between the two countries, Goguryeo used to be the subject of the Tang Dynasty, and King Rongliu was also enthroned by the Tang Dynasty. Now that King Rongliu is dead, the Tang Dynasty can naturally send troops under the banner of avenging King Rongliu.

Speaking of the Tang Dynasty, after all, it is a big country, and the surface articles still need to be done, especially in attacking small countries around, which requires a reason. For example, the attack on Tuyuhun before was because Tuyuhun harassed the borders of the Tang Dynasty many times. Although the revenge of the Tang Dynasty was a little fierce, others dared not say anything. Goguryeo has been very honest in recent years. Originally, Li Shimin wanted to collect corpses for the former Sui soldiers who died in Liaodong in battle, but now it seems that it is not necessary.

In addition to the reason for sending troops, there is another very real advantage, that is, although Quan Gai Suwen killed King Rongliu, according to previous information, King Rongliu had the upper hand. Even if he is dead now, the army loyal to him is still there. In addition, Quan Gai Suwen killed so many ministers, which will definitely arouse hatred by many Goguryeo nobles.

In other words, although Quangasuwen's coup was successful, it intensified the division and unrest within Goguryeo. Even with his ability and skills, it was impossible to calm the unrest within a short period of time, so this was also a rare opportunity for the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Majesty summoned me to the palace tomorrow, probably to discuss when to send troops?" Li Xiu said to himself again. With Li Shimin's character, he would never give up this opportunity easily.

However, Li Xiu then thought that Quangai Suwen had probably made careful preparations for the coup this time. For example, the time of his launch this time was very clever, because now it was already winter in Liaodong, and the Tang Dynasty could not send troops at all. He probably planned to use this winter to calm the division and unrest within Goguryeo.

Of course, the time for a winter is indeed a little short, but the Tang Dynasty generally does not use troops in spring and summer. In this way, Quanga Suwen had more than half a year to quell the domestic turmoil, which was enough for him.
