Chapter 1854 No mercy
Stand proudly with your hands behind your back and your chest held high.
Behind him are more than a thousand mighty soldiers of the Tang army with bright helmets, swords unsheathed and arrows on strings, majestic and murderous!
All the people of Silla, starting from Queen Seon-deok, to Jin Yushin, Anchuan, Jin Chunqiu, Bitan and others who had just arrived in a hurry, and even the most ordinary soldiers, all changed their expressions after hearing this.
Strong, arrogant, domineering!
In the eyes of this person, what does the royal city of Silla count?
I want to lead troops to block your door. If you don't give me an explanation, then I will take my soldiers and find an explanation myself!
Jin Chunqiu and Fang Jun had some kind of friendship. At this time, he frowned, took a step forward, and urged: "Master Hou, why is this happening? It is really an accident that this kind of thing happened. Don't worry, everyone in Silla I must try my best to Find out the real culprit, tie him up in front of the Marquis, and leave him alone! But guarding the gate of the royal city with troops is a bit too much. Besides, there are so many people in the city, and the Tang army is arrayed here, I'm afraid it will cause a disturbance..."
Fang Jun shook his head and said: "Don't deceive me with such words. Since someone dares to assassinate the Marquis of Tang Dynasty on the street outside the royal city, I don't believe that there are no dignitaries of Silla backing him. Even the real mastermind behind the scenes is right in front of you." Among them... if you dare to do such a bold thing as sitting down, you will naturally With a thorough layout, is it possible that you still point to the mastermind and turn yourself in? When you go back to investigate, you will face many obstacles. To be honest, I don’t believe you can uncover the mastermind... As for riots or not, that’s For your business, I only want the murderer.”
Waiting for the Silla people to find out the mastermind themselves?
Simply wishful thinking.
To be able to have the courage to assassinate him, Fang Jun, and to be able to lay out such a thorough plan must not be an ordinary person. It seems that such a powerful person in Silla can be easily found out in just a few words. Even if the kings and ministers of Silla knew who this person was, they would probably neither be able to make friends with him nor be willing to make friends with him.
A thousand soldiers were arrayed like this, blocking the gate of the royal city. It was like a sharp sword hanging over the heads of Silla kings and ministers!
How to do it is up to you!
The faces of Silla kings and ministers were angry.
How humiliating is this?
Just because she was assassinated, she brazenly led troops to besiege the royal city of another country regardless of national security. Where did this move put the Queen of Silla? Where will Silla be placed?
Sovereignty has been lost...
Queen Seondeok's beautiful face was already livid, her silver teeth were clenched, her beautiful eyes seemed to be bursting with fire, she was looking at the unscrupulous Fang Jun, speechless.
Even though she was quite capable of bringing together all the forces in Silla, and no one dared to covet her position as queen, facing Fang Jun and the Tang Dynasty, she had all kinds of calculations, but she couldn't help it. Restricted everywhere, not allowed to stretch...
In the face of absolute power, any so-called strategizing and superior wisdom are nothing.
No matter how you care about him, Fang Jun looks so arrogant, domineering and unwilling to give up. What can you do to him?
Even though the truth is on Fang Jun's side, the reason why he is so confident is that the more than a thousand elite soldiers behind him are the power and wealth of the distant Tang Dynasty!
Jin Yuxin stood aside and didn't say much.
He was absolutely sure that Fang Jun was responsible for this matter. He was assassinated here and it was only natural that he wanted to track down the murderer. Moreover, he could also see clearly that Her Majesty the Queen's so-called explanation was nothing more than an excuse. If it were left alone for a few days, the matter would eventually go to waste.
It's not that Her Majesty the Queen is unwilling to arrest the murderer. The assassination of Fang Jun was originally a challenge to her authority and intended to push the relationship between Silla and the Tang Dynasty to an irreconcilable desperate situation. Once such people are found out, Her Majesty the Queen will be the first to wait. Cut it into pieces!
However, how could a mastermind who could brazenly assassinate Fang Jun outside the royal city gate and on the street be apprehended so easily?
No matter how powerful Fang Jun was, he let out a breath of bad breath in his chest, and that was it...
But at this moment, I saw from the side that above the chariot and under the yellow umbrella, Her Majesty the Queen's jade face was like frost, and every blood vessel under her crystal white skin seemed to be beating angrily, and she endured the pain from Fang Jun. Jin Yuxin suddenly felt very distressed due to the humiliation and questioning.
Although he and Queen Seondeok are cousins, they have grown up together as childhood sweethearts. Their relationship is naturally deep and they even had mutual admiration for each other at one time. However, it was only when they got older that they realized what this feeling was like. If it is out of season, you can only hide it in your heart and let time slowly fade it away...
But their good feelings for each other never disappeared for a moment.
At this time, Jin Yuxin only wanted to care about the beauty and cherish the jade. He would bear all the twists and turns and dangers on himself, so as not to cause the queen to be wronged in the slightest...
Taking a deep breath, Jin Yuxin stepped forward and said to Fang Jun: "Why does the Marquis need to go to war? Such unscrupulousness may affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries. What's more, it is a critical moment for the alliance between the two countries. If this leads to the alliance, there will be any danger. Is it difficult for the Marquis to explain the twists and turns to the Emperor of your country?”
He thought that forming an alliance was a big deal, and wanted to use this to dissuade Fang Jun from recognizing the situation, but he was a little self-righteous...
Fang Jun sneered: "What you have to do now is to give me an explanation. As for how I explain to the emperor, that is my business. As for whether to form an alliance or not... do you think that a country that condoned the assassination of the Marquis of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty Are you still willing to ally with it? ”
Jin Yuxin was speechless.
Alliance is the foundation for Silla to maintain its survival, and it is imperative. However, for the Tang Dynasty, Silla, a small and weak country, is dispensable. Regardless of alliance or not, it will not affect the development of the Tang Dynasty. The strategy of the Eastern Expedition and the victory or defeat of the war.
It’s just about saving some effort...
Queen Seondeok was very human after all. She tried her best to suppress her anger. She glanced at Fang Jun with her clear eyes and said calmly: "You don't need to say anything. Regardless of whether Silla is in alliance with the Tang Dynasty or not, the Marquis was assassinated here. All are Silla The emperor and his ministers have failed in their duties. If the mastermind behind it cannot be arrested, who will be willing to be friends with Silla from now on? Then I will trouble the Marquis to station here and urge everyone in Silla to catch the mastermind as soon as possible and give the Marquis an explanation!" >
Fang Jun raised his eyebrows: "This is the best."
Queen Seondeok nodded in greeting, and then said to her left and right: "Go back to the palace!"
"Yes!"
The chariot moved slowly, and the kings and ministers of Silla returned to the royal city dejectedly to discuss countermeasures.
Fang Jun looked at the chariot gradually disappearing at the main gate of the royal city and snorted softly.
Her Majesty the Queen is really in a deep state of affairs. She seems to be humiliated and filled with anger, but in fact she doesn’t know how to be happy in her heart! On the surface, it seemed that Silla was passive in this matter and was forced into a corner by him, but just by looking at her somewhat rude performance, Fang Jun knew that this woman must have other plans in mind, and she might even take the opportunity to attack the opposition forces in Silla's court. Let’s cleanse...
No wonder he was able to frighten all the men in Silla into obedience. He was also a heroic woman among women like Wu Zetian!
Wang Xuance walked away from behind and asked in a low voice: "Who does the Marquis think is the mastermind behind the scenes?"
Fang Jun thought for a while and said helplessly: "Who knows? It could be possible, whether it's Kim Yu-shin, Anchuan, or even Kim Chun-qiu. These people are considered to be the die-hard confidants of Queen Seon-deok, so who can Do you know if it was ordered by Queen Seondeok? ”
Silla was willing to form an alliance with the Tang Dynasty, but it did not want to be dominated by the Tang Dynasty. Especially since it was reported in the Tang Dynasty that it wanted to replace the head of Silla with a descendant of the royal family, the officials in the Silla Dynasty did not know what to do. Ordinary ministers also They can be at odds with each other, but how can loyal people like Kim Yu-shin, Anchuan, and Kim Chun-qiu watch Queen Seon-deok be deposed and then usher in a new king?
If that's the case, it's better not to form an alliance.
Therefore, by secretly assassinating Fang Jun, the alliance between the two countries was naturally abandoned. It was not easy for the Tang Dynasty to directly send troops to attack Silla. After all, if your marquis was assassinated, you should use weapons and weapons, right?
You have to catch the murderer first. You can’t just throw the blame entirely on Silla. That would be morally wrong...
Therefore, from Queen Seondeok on down, it is difficult for these people to escape suspicion.
Wang Xuance took a look at the majestic royal city under the night. Groups of forbidden troops were marching out of the city, guarding the left and right sides of the city gate. They were obviously prepared to prevent the Tang army from launching a sudden attack and directly capturing the royal city.
Although this possibility is a bit nonsense, we have to guard against it...
He said: "Actually, from the humble point of view, the biggest suspects should not be these few, but Bitan..."
"Bitan?"
Fang Jun looked confused: "Didn't you say that this person is the largest 'pro-Tang faction' in the Silla Dynasty? He even called on the people of Silla to force Queen Seondeok into the palace, so that she could take the initiative to abdicate, and then welcome a descendant of the Tang royal family as the new king. To make Silla a real vassal state of the Tang Dynasty? He should have taken refuge with me, so why did he want to kill me?" (End of Chapter)
