Chapter 1846 First arrival in Silla
In fact, the name "Three Hans" began in the Han Dynasty. "Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Biography of Dongyi" said: "There are three types of Han: one is called Mahan, the other is Chen Han, and the third is Bian Han. Mahan is in the west, and there are five The fourteen kingdoms are bordered by Lelang to the north and Japanese to the south. , and are closely related to the Japanese. Chen Han is in the east, and the two countries of Shi are connected with each other in the north. Bian Chen is in the south of Chen Han, and the two countries in the south are also closely related to the Japanese. Belongs to it.”
The records are very clear. Mahan Bianhan is related to the Japanese, while Chenhan and Haoqi are of the same race.
As for Hao, it has the same origin as Goguryeo and Buyeo...
It's just that since before Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, few people in the Central Plains had looked at the barren peninsula, so they were indifferent to the evolution of power on the island. Although the three Koreas have long become a thing of the past, Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla are staged a new " "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but people in the Central Plains still like to refer to them collectively as "Three Koreas".
Among the three Koreas, Silla, which evolved from "Chenhan", has always been the most angry one.
Goguryeo was a powerful country in Liaodong. Not to mention the many attacks by Silla who bullied the weak, Baekje was the most powerful. It invaded Silla's territory several times, burned, killed and captured people. Whenever Silla offered tribute, it shook tail If you beg for mercy, you will accept everything, and the two countries are reconciled. When Goguryeo yells that it wants to beat Silla, Baekje immediately forgets about the past of accepting tributes, and follows Goguryeo behind to harm Silla.
Even the Japanese country across the sea would cross the sea from time to time to plunder...
When Queen Seondeok came to the throne, she faced a peninsula filled with chaos and chaos.
The expanded territory of our ancestors was constantly being devoured by Goguryeo and Baekje, and overseas Japanese would also harass them from time to time. She was just like a frustrated little daughter-in-law...
The idea of hugging the thighs has been around for a long time. However, although the Tang Dynasty has been unified, the shadow of the failure of the Sui Dynasty's three expeditions to Goguryeo has not dissipated. The song of Wuxiang Liaodong's death song is still echoing in Liaodong. Who knows what the Tang Dynasty relies on? If you are not reliable, will you be able to deal with the chaotic peninsula?
Until they heard that the Tang Dynasty was going to expedition to Goguryeo, Silla was immediately overjoyed.
The monarchs and ministers gathered together and concluded that we and Goguryeo have a deep hatred. If Goguryeo were destroyed in one day, everyone would naturally like to hear about it. Moreover, with the strong military power of the Tang Dynasty sweeping across the Turks, Goguryeo would probably not be able to repeat the scene of the Sui Dynasty defeating the Tianjun. It would probably be completed. If At this time, we should hold on to Datang's arms tightly and act as vanguards. We can not only avenge the bullying in the past, but also gain benefits.
So it was agreed to send envoys to the Tang Dynasty to form an alliance with the Tang Dynasty.
Officials of the Tang Dynasty naturally refused to accept any Silla that came to their door. In fact, the Tang Dynasty did not have a complete foreign policy at this time. All foreign policies only followed one basis - fuck you if you mess with me, if you don't accept it Fuck you, fuck you if you have a grudge!
Simple and crude...
Silla had never had any grudges with the Tang Dynasty, and had never provoked the Tang Dynasty. However, His Majesty Li Er, the British leader, was leading his army to deal with Tuyuhun and the East and West Turks, and his attitude towards the peninsula was quite cold. Now that Silla has come all the way to request an alliance, it is definitely not on the "hostile" list. For those officials in the Tang Dynasty who were deeply influenced by Confucianism and claimed to be a land of etiquette in the heavenly dynasty, they naturally could not refuse.
Not only did they not refuse, but after the alliance was formed, they even thought that Silla, a land with a small population and a small population, had the nerve to accept tributes from others.
Therefore, after asking the arrogant and self-righteous Majesty Li Er for instructions on foreign policy, not only did he not collect tribute from Silla, but instead, on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he gave the Emperor of Silla a gift that was far more than ten times the value of the tribute... …
Where had Silla officials seen such a kind and generous powerful country?
I was moved to tears.
After returning to China, he praised the Tang Dynasty in front of Queen Seondeok, saying that they were both powerful countries. Compared with Goguryeo, the Tang Dynasty was a world of difference. Goguryeo was a scumbag and would be destroyed by the Tang Dynasty sooner or later. We hugged the thighs correctly.
Queen Seondeok and the officials of Silla were immediately overjoyed.
In the future, every year and festival would send envoys to Chang'an to congratulate him, bringing a cart full of gifts and bringing back ten carts of gifts. The kings, ministers and people of Silla were very fond of him.
Thus becoming a loyal ally of Datang...
Now the Tang Dynasty navy has reached the Japanese country and stirred up the Japanese country into a mess. Naturally, Silla couldn't help but feel happy, finally getting rid of a scourge! When she heard that the commander of the navy was the favorite son-in-law of the Tang emperor, and that Jin Famin, a member of the royal family, had been recruited in advance to go there, the Queen of Silla quickly ordered someone to invite Fang Jun to come to Jincheng.
It not only expresses the importance of the Tang Dynasty, but also takes the opportunity to cooperate with the God of Wealth of the Tang Dynasty to boost Silla's economy...
So, this time Queen Seondeok led her ministers to the dock to greet her.
*****
The royal city of Silla was built along the sea. The Silla people called it Jincheng, but the Han people mostly called it Gyeongju.
The royal palace of Silla was built in the city. The architectural style was obviously influenced by the culture of the Central Plains. It was almost the same as the palaces of the Central Plains in the past, but it looked more like a smaller version... No, it should be a simplified version. Different from the splendid and majestic imperial palaces of the Central Plains, the royal city of Silla, Jincheng, was very small, and the palace was even smaller. Even Asuka Kyoto, which had only a few palaces in the Japanese country, was not as good as...
In the palace, a sumptuous banquet was prepared.
Queen Seondeok sat in the main seat and replaced her splendid crown with a slightly elegant silk dress. The dress was embroidered with green bamboo and lotus leaves, which was obviously Jiangnan style.
The so-called sumptuous banquet is just "feng". A large table is filled with various dishes, most of which are Tang Dynasty dishes, but the preparation is simple and is still far from "feng"...
Fang Jun didn't take it seriously.
When he first arrived on the road, he had already seen that most of the residents in the city were disheveled and in rags, and the houses on both sides of the road were low and gloomy. The smell of human and animal excrement seemed to be wafting in the air, and the road that had just been paved with loess was also full of odor. Rugged... This is a desperately poor country, how do you expect it to come up with anything good to entertain you?
Queen Seondeuk lightly opened her red lips and said with shame: "Silla is poor and the land is barren, so it is inevitable that there will be some bad etiquette. I hope the prince will understand it."
Fang Jun waved his hand grandly: "Coming here is already too abrupt, so how dare you make so many demands? Besides, Your Majesty came to the pier to greet you in person, and I am extremely frightened. People in the Tang Dynasty valued virtue but not etiquette. Your Majesty's intentions have already made me admire you. , Feeling Silla’s friendliness towards the Tang Dynasty, even if it’s just a bowl of coarse rice and a pot of water, I’d be happy with it.”
As soon as this statement came out, there was a burst of applause at the banquet.
Take a look at the officials of the Tang Dynasty. What is realm? This is called realm!
Backed by such a big and powerful Tang Empire, but without the slightest intention of overpowering others, the faces of the envoys from Goguryeo and Baekje were many times better looking.
Queen Seondeok said with emotion: "Although Silla is not the strongest among the three Koreas, it admires the culture of the Central Plains the most. Now that I see the Marquis who is so sensible and kind, I have learned the essence of Confucianism. The Marquis's prowess, even if it is a talent The prosperous Tang Dynasty is also outstanding, and has the charm of Park Hyuk, the founding king of Silla."
When these words came out of the mouth of the Queen of Silla, it was a very high praise!
Fang Jun said quickly: "Don't dare, don't dare, Park Hyuk lived a wise life, founded Silla and dominated Liaodong. His ambition of 'developing virtues day by day and reaching all directions' is as bright as the sun and the moon. He is not even one among ten thousand." , ashamed, ashamed.”
On the way here from Japan, I learned a lot about Silla's historical customs from Jin Bomin.
Queen Seondeok said that Silla admired the culture of the Central Plains, which was indeed true. The ancestors of Silla are the Chenhan people, and the Chenhan people’s speech is similar to that of Qin. For example, bows are called arcs, thieves are called bandits, and drinking is called xingzhang... so they are also called "Qinhan".
Park Hyuk Ju-se was the founding king of Silla, and he was a very magical person.
Regarding his origin, there are rumors among the people in Silla that one day a white horse fell from the sky and landed on the land by the sea, and then laid an egg, and a doll popped out of the egg, which was Park Hyuk Ju-se...
The most miraculous thing is that Jumong, the founder of Goguryeo, and Kim Suro, the founding monarch of Gaya, another small country on the peninsula, were both born from eggs...
The baby was born very suddenly, so people around him were surprised. The village chiefs from six nearby villages rushed over and bathed the child who jumped out of the egg. Then they found that the child's body was shining, and the people in the woods were shining brightly. Birds and beasts danced for him, so people named the child "Hejushi", hoping that when he grew up, he could shine on the world like the sun, because the shape of his egg when he was born was like a "ladle", and his The surname is "Pu".
When the child was thirteen years old, the six village chiefs supported him as king and named the country "Seo Rapha", which was later Silla...
Park Hyuk Ju-se, who popped out of the egg, was regarded as a god by the people of Silla, so Queen Seondeok compared Bang Jun to Park Hyuk-ju-se, which was an unparalleled praise.
Although it seems a little superficial, the traces of flattery are too heavy... (End of this chapter)
