Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1554 His Majesty Li Er's wishful thinking

"Internal and external troubles?"

"That's right! Now Silla and Goguryeo have teamed up and dispatched 20 troops to attack our Silla. If the Tang Dynasty doesn't send troops, our Silla will be in danger of subjugation!"

What Jin Yuxin said was serious, but Guo Ye was not very worried. He said, "Brother Jin, don't scare me. Baekje and Goguryeo have jointly attacked Silla once or twice. When did Silla not be safe and sound? What's more Now that Goguryeo’s power is in decline, Silla has my father-in-law Yang Wanchun to help out. What’s the danger?”

"Yang Wanchun! Hmph!" Jin Yuxin twitched his lips and said, "It's okay for the Yang family's army to defend the city, but once they leave the city to fight in the field, they will become soft-legged shrimps. There is no hope at all!"

Guo Ye said: "It's good to be able to defend the city. If Goguryeo and Baekje can't attack Silla's city, they will naturally retreat when they run out of food. How do you say that Silla is in danger of subjugation?"

"This...Actually, just Baekje and Goguryeo jointly attacked, and we in Silla are not afraid of them. However, isn't it the new funeral of the king and the enthronement of the queen? The interior of our Silla..." Jin Yuxin blushed slightly, Said: "There is a small problem."

"small issue?"

"Uh...someone wants to compete with Princess Kinderman!"

"Infighting?" Guo Ye was puzzled and said, "I heard that King Zhenping has only four daughters and no sons. Could it be that there are disputes between these daughters for the throne?"

"Seniority is orderly. The other princesses will naturally not compete with Princess Deman for the throne. The problem is..." Jin Yuxin spoke out a few words with difficulty, and said: "There is... There is a man!"

This is very strange, Guo Ye said: "Brother Jin, why can't I understand? Could it be that King Zhenping still has a son? This is not right... If there is a son, why didn't he pass the throne to his son, but to the king? Princess Deman? That doesn't make sense!"

"This... this... is actually not his son..."

Jin Yuxin explained hesitantly for a long time before Guo Ye understood that the person who wanted to compete with Kinderman was called Bijing.

Who is Nose Jing?This is hard to say.According to the propaganda of the Silla government, the origin of this nose thorn is very mysterious.

Kinderman took the throne from her father, King Shinpei Kim Baekjeong.And Jin Baijing's throne was obtained from his uncle, King Zhenzhi.Legend has it that when King Zhenzhi was in power, he fell in love with a married woman named Taohuaniang.

King Zhenzhi wanted to bring Taohuaniang into the harem, but Taohuaniang refused to do so.So King Zhenzhi asked, I am the king of a country, why don't you want to marry me?Taohuaniang said, I have a husband, so of course I cannot agree to your request.King Zhenzhi asked, what if your husband dies?Peach Blossom Girl replied, if that time comes, I will serve you.

Not long after this incident, King True Wisdom died.Two years later, Peach Blossom's husband also died.At this time, the ghost of King Zhenzhi found Taohuaniang and said that your husband is dead, can we do something?So, one person and one ghost became a good deed, and a child was born, named Bijing.

When Jin Baijing heard about this, he called Bijing into the palace to raise him.

This is the origin of the nose thorn recognized by the Silla government

Of course, anyone with a slightly normal IQ would know that this is nonsense!There is no doubt that Bijing's biological mother is Taohuaniang, but the biological father... who else could it be if it wasn't King Zhenping Jin Baijing?

So, everyone in the court knew that Bijing was Jin Baijing's illegitimate child, but no one dared to point it out.Bijing is also well aware of this, how can he have no idea about the throne of Silla?Now that Kinderman is on the throne, how can he be convinced?Over the years, Bi Jing has installed many cronies in the court of Silla.

Just when the soldiers of Goguryeo and Silla were pressing down on the border, Bijing suddenly launched an attack and asked Kindermana to step aside, which made Kinderman a mess.There are powerful enemies outside and worries inside. Silla's test is indeed difficult!

Guo Ye said: "It is not a trivial matter for the army to go out to fight. How can we move at will? Even if we start preparations now, it will take more than half a year when the army arrives in Silla. It will not quench our thirst!"

Jin Yuxin sighed, and said, "Is there any other way to do things now? I'm just doing my best and following my fate!"

Datang Palace, Liangyi Hall.

His Majesty Li Er cordially received Jin Yuxin, the envoy of Silla, accompanied by Guo Ye, Minister of Rites of the Tang Dynasty, Qin Guogong.

Jin Yuxin announced the funeral first—King Jinbaekjeong passed away, and then announced the good news—Kin Deeman ascended the throne as king, and finally asked the Tang Dynasty to send troops to help Silla resist the aggression of Baekje and Goguryeo.

After Li Erbi listened to Jin Yuxin's request, he smiled slightly and said, "Jin Aiqing, don't be so troublesome. To solve the danger of your Silla, there is no need to send out a large army. I have three strategies to retreat a strong enemy!"

"Uh... Your majesty is so wise and powerful that foreign ministers can't match it. Please tell me what the three strategies are!"

"Let me talk about the best policy first. Now that you Silla is a female lead, you are naturally underestimated. If a different man is the king, the situation will naturally be different!"

After hearing this, Jin Yuxin was so lucky that he didn't scold him!What is the best policy?I think that when Jin Ping Wang Jinbaekjeong was in power, Goguryeo did not miss Silla's idea!His Majesty Li Er's idea is simply nonsense!

Although he secretly slandered in his heart, Jin Yuxin did not dare to contradict him, saying: "Your Majesty, our national conditions in Silla are different from those of other countries. The people only recognize the sacred bones as kings. Now among the sacred bones, they are all women. If you force it Find a man, I'm afraid the people will not accept it!"

"Holy bone? What does that mean?"

"Uh... people in Silla are also divided into three, six, and nine grades. The highest grade is called holy bones, followed by real bones, and then there are sixth-grade heads, fourth-grade heads, third-grade heads, etc. What kind of bones are made of? There is a certain number of officials, and bone products are generally not allowed to intermarry."

His Majesty Li Er nodded and said: "I understand, this is a bit similar to the nine-rank Zhongzheng system in our Wei and Jin Dynasties."

"Exactly!"

"That's easy. The man I mentioned will definitely convince the people of Silla!"

"what do you mean?"

"I selected a man from the Great Tang Clan, named him Lelang County King, and sent him to Silla as your king. Princess Kinderman, you can marry him as your queen. The Great Tang Clan is all phoenix sons. Longsun, it won’t be as good as your sacred bone, right? Isn’t this the best of both worlds?”

"This one……"

This is absolutely unacceptable!The king of Silla was changed to the Tang dynasty. What is the difference between that and the country being destroyed?Why come to Datang for help?Wouldn't it be enough to just surrender to Yuan Gai Suwen?

Jin Yu said: "Your Majesty's method is of course very good, but most of the people in Silla do not accept the teachings and only recognize the sacred bones. Even if I explain to them that the status of the Tang clan is far higher than the sacred bones, I am afraid they will not listen. !"

His Majesty Li Er also knew that his idea was really bad, and said: "Okay, then you should listen to my middle strategy. Why did Yuan Gai Suwen attack your Silla and not our Datang? That's because You Silla are weak and weak. I have a plan to make Yuan Gai Suwen afraid to attack!"

"Your Majesty, please speak!"

"I have given you thousands of official uniforms of the Tang Dynasty in Silla. Your officials in Silla will also be officials of my Tang Dynasty in the future. If Yuangai Suwen attacks you again, you will wear my official uniforms of the Tang Dynasty." Submit to meet the enemy! I would like to see if Yuan Gai Suwen has the burden to offend my Tang officials!"

This idea is to change the soup but not the medicine!Silla officials have all become officials of the Tang Dynasty, so isn't Silla included in the Tang Dynasty?Jin Yuxin secretly thought, this Nima is really driving tigers at the front door and wolves at the back door, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and he is also wicked towards us in Silla!

He said: "This matter is of great importance. Foreign ministers are humble and have little power, so they cannot make decisions. You should talk about the worst policy!"

Chapter 1555 There must be a beautiful man under the reward?

His Majesty Li Er felt very sorry for Jin Yuxin's ignorance of current affairs, and said: "My top and middle strategies are both strategies for long-term stability, but this bottom strategy can only achieve temporary results. You Silla don't use the best and middle strategies. It's a pity. Anyway, let me talk about the worst plan!"

"Your Majesty, please speak, and the ministers are all ears!"

"The worst strategy is divided into three steps. The first step is to gather a large army on the border of Liaodong and make a posture to attack Goguryeo. Yuangai Suwen is worried that the rear will be unstable, so he will definitely retreat. The second step is to target Baekje. Baekje Baekje relies on the sea to block it, so it is very lax in defending the western border. There is basically no defense in the thousands of miles of sea. I just need to send thousands of sailors to go boating in the Yellow Sea, and Baekje will have to retreat to protect itself."

"What about the third part?"

"The third step is to send another envoy to talk to you about the three parties. The three-pronged approach can solve the danger of your country's subjugation in Silla!"

His Majesty Li Er really has two brushes, this is a bad strategy, although he sent troops.But it's just a gesture, not ready to go to war.Therefore, the cost is not large and the time is not long, but the effect is better than sending troops directly!

Jin Yuxin was quite satisfied after hearing this bad strategy, and said: "This is a good strategy! Your Majesty has a long-term vision, can illuminate thousands of miles, and with a little trick, he saved our Baekje from the fire and water. You are worthy of being the Khan of Heaven, worthy of being the Holy Son of Heaven! I Silla would like to be the vassal state of the Tang Dynasty for generations to come, paying tribute every year, being a minister every year, and never having two hearts..."

Jin Yuxin was full of flattery, and he poured out all the good words that don't require money!His Majesty Li Er was also quite satisfied when he heard this, and said: "Sun Tzu's art of war has a saying, the first is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, and the next is to attack the city. My worst strategy is just to attack the enemy, so I should not praise it like that. It's a pity that my two strategies, the upper and the middle, are the strategy of attacking the army. It's a pity that you Silla people are short-sighted and unwilling to implement it. That's why my two clever strategies fail!"

Jin Yuxin muttered, "It's not that we don't want to carry it out, it's really the common people..."

His Majesty Li Er waved his hand and said: "Needless to say, since you have no blessings in Silla, I will not force you. I have already written the imperial edict to make Jin Deman the king of Lelang County, and the candidates for the imperial envoy have also been determined. It will be done soon." Heading to Silla. Is there anything else Kim Ai Kyung wants to do?"

Jin Yu said: "I don't know who is the candidate for His Majesty's imperial envoy? When the time comes, we will go to Silla together, so we can have someone to take care of us!"
