Chapter 1860: Forced into danger
The Tang army arrayed outside the royal city and on the long street. Apart from the doubts and panic at the beginning, the people of Silla gradually became quiet and did not cause too much panic.
The people of Silla have always been close to the people of Tang Dynasty.
Since the founding of the country, whether it was the period of the four counties of the Han Dynasty, or the subsequent rise of the Silla army, they successively conquered the cities of Goguryeo and Baekje, leaving these two countries abandoned and abandoned, and even now they are trapped in a corner and being bullied. Silla They have always maintained friendly relations with the Han people.
Every few years, Silla sent envoys to the Central Plains Dynasty, and every year, countless merchants from the Tang Dynasty came to Silla, and the exchanges between the two sides were very frequent.
Han people are benevolent, righteous and polite. As long as you don't mess with them, they will do business with you according to the rules. They rarely bully and do evil. The people of Silla are also relatively gentle, not as violent as the Goguryeo and Japanese people. Everyone trades fairly, everyone gets what they need, and they get along very happily.
Now, everyone in Silla knew that the Tang army came here to form an alliance with Silla and jointly fight against Goguryeo and Baekje. As for the Tang army suddenly waiting in formation on the long street, eyeing the royal city, everyone also heard about it. yesterday I didn't think there was anything wrong with what happened at night - the dignified Marquis of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor's son-in-law, the son of the Prime Minister, and himself the Minister of War and the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, was almost assassinated on the street and replaced with Who wouldn't be furious?
But even so, the Tang army only expressed dissatisfaction in this way and put pressure on the court, without any behavior that disturbed the people...
This is the teacher of benevolence and righteousness!
So after the initial panic, the people of Silla took to the streets one after another. Those who were brave looked at the Tang army's mighty military appearance from a distance, pointed and talked in private, while the Tang army turned a blind eye. As long as they did not step into the alert Within the line, even if the people of Silla were watching, Qiu would not commit any crime.
As dusk fell, the people on the streets gradually became fewer and fewer, and the whole city slowly fell into silence.
Fang Jun waited for a whole day, but did not receive any feedback from Jin Chunqiu and his son, but he was not in a hurry.
The lack of feedback means that the other party is still weighing the pros and cons and considering the gains and losses, otherwise a scapegoat has been introduced to fool him and he is already prepared to deal with his own rage.
As long as there is no rejection, it means there is still hope...
In Nuo Da's palace, candles were already lit and it was brightly lit.
Queen Seondeok had just taken a bath, took off her strict palace clothes, and put on an ordinary Tang-style straight dress. Her crow-crow hair was still a little moist, tied with a bright yellow silk ribbon, and tied behind her head. The whole person is clean and neat, not like a queen, but like a handsome young man in troubled times.
If this appearance appeared at a banquet with Silla nobles, I am afraid it would make the eyes of those wealthy ladies shine, and the butterflies would pounce on them like honey...
Sitting on her knees in the study, holding a red pen in her hand to handle some official duties, Queen Seondeok became a little absent-minded. Her Excellency Zhu Bi ordered the maid to make a pot of tea, then dismissed the people around, and drank slowly by herself, pondering the current situation. .
Not long after, a maid quietly walked to the door, bowed and saluted, and said softly: "The general has entered the palace and asks to see His Majesty."
Queen Seondeok frowned slightly, raised her head and glanced at the darkening night outside. She thought to herself that it was so late, what was the important matter for Kim Yu-shin to enter the palace?
But he said: "Quickly call him and bring him here."
"Here."
The maid bowed and left.
Even though they met in the palace late at night, some rumors would inevitably spread, but she had to meet Jin Yuxin. The two had known each other since childhood, and they were once deeply in love and could be considered childhood sweethearts. Although they gradually drifted apart and their relationship was not as strong as before, the trust they built on each other and this friendship was extremely sincere and strong.
Queen Seondeok is convinced that even if the entire Silla is condemned to her, when there is only one person left behind her, that person must be Kim Yu-shin...
After a while, there was the sound of footsteps outside the study, and Jin Yuxin walked in under the guidance of the maid.
"I have an audience with Your Majesty!"
Kim Yu-shin knelt down in front of Queen Seon-deok, bowed his head and saluted.
Queen Seondeok quickly stretched out her snow-white hands to help her, and said softly: "Why do we need so many false gifts when we meet in private? Get up quickly!"
Jin Yuxin said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
He raised his head and saw the flower-like face in front of him that had not been eroded by the years. It was blooming with a gentle and watery smile. The red lips were lightly opened. A pair of eyes that were as sharp as water stared at him and asked softly: " Why did you come to the palace so late to see me?”
As Queen Seondeok spoke, she stretched out her delicate hand, poured a cup of tea for Jin Yuxin herself, and placed it in front of him.
Jin Yuxin only felt that his heart seemed to have been hit by something, and he was a little frightened. He quickly looked away, not daring to look at the pretty face that had once made him think so much. He coughed dryly, picked up the teacup and drank the tea. Finally, he said: "This morning, Jin Famin went to the Tang Army camp to ask to see Fang Jun."
Queen Shande frowned slightly, not knowing why: "Jin Chunqiu had an old relationship with Fang Jun, and Jin Famin even accompanied Fang Jun to stir up troubles in the Japanese country. The friendship was not shallow, so why did he go to see Fang Jun? Surprising? ”
Jin Yuxin leaned forward slightly, his handsome face full of solemnity, and said in a deep voice: "It's not surprising that he went to see Fang Jun, but after he came back, the father and son spent the entire morning spying in the study, and then they Just now, the dead soldiers raised by Jin Chunqiu in the fiefdom outside the city entered the city one after another and gathered in his house! ”
As a general, in charge of Silla's military affairs, any disturbance in the capital was naturally difficult to hide from Jin Yuxin's eyes.
What's more, Jin Chunqiu and his son may not have any intention of covering up at all...
Hearing this, Queen Seondeok was a little stunned: "What does he want to do?"
If Jin Yuxin trusted each other's loyalty because of their mutual affection, Jin Chunqiu gained her trust and importance because of their blood relationship.
If Jin Chunqiu's father had not been deposed and downgraded from sacred bones to real bones, I am afraid that the throne might not have fallen to her...
But because of this, Jin Chunqiu's path to the throne is still completely cut off, and there is absolutely no possibility of ascending the throne as king. Otherwise, the entire Silla will definitely attack him in the face of his "rebellion" that overthrows the "bone system"!
The "bone system" is the foundation for the continued rule of the Silla aristocracy, and no one is allowed to destroy it in any form!
Whoever dares to destroy is a public enemy!
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Jin Chunqiu to rebel. Even because he is a direct bloodline of the Jin family, he will never collude with the Park family, Xi family and other nobles to do such rebellious things. Even if he succeeds, it is difficult to do so. Could it be that his status could be higher than it is now?
Jin Yuxin looked solemn and said doubtfully: "I don't know either, I just think it's unusual and a bit unreasonable."
Now that it has been determined that Jin Chunqiu cannot rebel, then why did he summon dead soldiers to fight like a city?
You don't mean to reward these lackeys under your opponent, do you?
It’s not the New Year yet...
For a moment, the monarch and his ministers looked at each other.
But there is no hint of ambiguity at all, only the doubts caused by Jin Chunqiu's unusual actions...
After a while, Queen Seon-deok's eyes suddenly lit up, and she lightly patted the table with her bare hand, making a soft "bang" sound!
Then, Her Majesty the Queen gritted her teeth, her face flushed, and said angrily: "Damn Jin Chunqiu! You actually want to push me to the edge!"
Jin Yushin rarely saw Queen Seondeok's angry expression. When he was slightly stunned, he asked blankly: "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"
He also knew Jin Chunqiu's status and identity, so he never believed that Jin Chunqiu would rebel.
Queen Seondeok did not explain, but said quickly: "General, quickly lead the troops to Park Yuyeon's mansion. No matter what, we can't let anything happen to him!"
When Jin Yuxin heard this, his expression suddenly changed!
He said sternly: "Is Jin Chunqiu crazy? If he attacks Pu Yuyan, he may drag the country into war. The Park family and the Xi family have been dissatisfied with the Jin family for a long time. He is... alas! I will say goodbye, Let’s go to Pu Yuyan’s mansion now!”
After saying that, he stood up and left in a hurry.
As a general, why don't you understand Jin Chunqiu's intention at this moment?
This time Fang Jun was assassinated on Long Street. Although the person behind the assassination is not yet known, everyone in the Jin family knows that it must be someone from the Park family and the Xi family.
As for whether it is Park Yuyan... it doesn't matter at all!
As long as Jin Chunqiu believes that he is the mastermind behind the scenes, he is! If Jin Chunqiu leads troops to capture him and bind him to Fang Jun, then Jin Yuxin can be sure that the Park family and the Xi family will not give up and may immediately start an army to cause chaos!
The reason why Fang Jun was assassinated was that the Park family and the Xi family wanted to destroy the alliance between Silla and the Tang Dynasty, because once that happened, the status of the Jin family would be further consolidated. With such a powerful backer as the Tang Dynasty, it was foreseeable that as long as If the Tang Dynasty did not collapse, the Jin family's throne would be as stable as a mountain!
The desire to rebel must have been brewing in the hearts of these two tribes!
As long as Pu Yuyan, the eldest son of the Pu family, is dedicated to the Tang Dynasty, it will completely trigger the flames of resistance between the Pu family and the Xi family!
The entire Silla will fall into pieces in an instant!
This Jin Chunqiu, does he know what he is doing? ! (End of chapter)
