Chapter 1869 Presenting the National Seal
Queen Seondeok's expression changed. Just this map showed that the Tang Dynasty had been coveting the land of Silla for a long time.
But now that it's over, what's the use?
Apart from offering the Silla Kingdom Zuo and surrendering to the Tang Dynasty, she can do nothing...
The light in her eyes dimmed, she bit her lip, and Queen Seondeok whispered: "The Lord of Silla, I have long remembered the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and today I am willing to offer it as a tribute to the king. I am willing to attach it to Jiwei. I sincerely ask the Tang Dynasty to protect me and love my people." , so that everyone in Silla can bathe in the benevolence of the Celestial Dynasty and feel the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty... I just ask you to send troops quickly to suppress the rebellion and save the people of Silla from the fire and water..."
"True virtue, give me the national seal."
She turned sideways slightly and loosened the silver hairpin she was holding in her palm. The silk thread tied to the hairpin was connected to the jade belt. When she let go, the hairpin fell gently and clung to her dress. Then, she moved behind her. Princess Zhende reaches out her hand.
Princess Zhende bit her lip, reluctantly placed a brocade box in Queen Shande's hand, and gave Fang Jun a fierce look with her beautiful eyes.
Full of hate!
In her opinion, although the rebellious Park family, Xi family and Yang Shanbu could all be punished, the villain in front of her who forced her sister to the point of desperation and had to give up her dignity and grovel was even more hateful!
What's the point of a manly man bullying a woman with his sharp armor?
Queen Seon Deok took the brocade box and naturally saw her sister's displeased eyes. She glared angrily and signaled her not to mess around. Then she turned around, put the brocade box gently on the table, and opened it.
A sapphire seal was placed quietly in the box.
This square jade seal was carved from the sacred jade hatched from the legendary "Egg of the Divine Bird" when Park Hyuk Ju-se founded the country. It was kept by the lords of Silla in the past and is a symbol of Silla's royal power.
Today, Queen Seondeok dedicated it to the Tang Dynasty to express her heartfelt attachment.
Fang Jun glanced at it and didn't pay much attention.
In his eyes, only the seal in which the First Emperor defeated the Zhao State and obtained He's Bi, and ordered Prime Minister Li Si to carve the seal "I have been ordered by Heaven, and I will live forever" can be called the national seal!
Silla is a tiny place. Even its own history books are full of myths and legends and other absurd and uninhibited words. How dare you call it a country?
The so-called passing of the national seal is nothing more than barbarians wearing monkey hats and drilling through them...
He didn't even bother to look at whether the writing on the Silla Royal Seal was in Chinese or Korean. Anyway, he expected that Queen Seondeok would not dare to deceive him by making a fake national seal at this time, so he said loudly: " Where is the Commander-in-Chief of the Army? ”
Wang Xuance walked in from outside the tent and said, "What are your orders, Lord Marquis?"
Fang Jun pointed to the jade seal: "This is the seal of the Silla Kingdom. Her Majesty the Queen is sincerely attached to the Tang Dynasty, so she presents this seal to prove her heart. You will immediately keep it safe and send capable people to Chang'an quickly to present it." There must be no mistakes before His Majesty!”
"Here!"
"Assemble the army immediately, enter the city to assist the Silla allies, annihilate the rebels, and protect the common people!"
"Here!"
Wang Xuance accepted the order and bowed out.
Fang Jun was rude to Queen Seondeok and said respectfully: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. We will punish the rebellious ministers and traitors! Since Your Majesty is determined to lead the people of Silla to attach themselves to the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will naturally fulfill its responsibilities as a sovereign state." ! Wait for me to gather the troops, enter the city, and put down the rebellion!”
After a pause, he looked at Queen Seondeok's bright face and said word by word: "As for your Majesty...the soldiers are in danger and the swords and guns have no eyes, so please stay in this military tent and wait for the news of my triumphant return. When the rebellion is put down, Your Majesty will be invited to go to Chang'an in person to present his credentials to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and express his surrender. "
Queen Seon Deok's delicate body trembled and she was silent.
This was to put her under house arrest, lest she change her mind after the war subsided.
It may not be that she is afraid that she will lead the Silla army to renege on her promise and refuse to admit her dependence and submission. After all, with the pride of the Tang Dynasty, she must be confident that she can calm everything down. Maybe she is just afraid of trouble... However, it is precisely because of this that Queen Seondeok feels even more A helpless resentment.
The feeling of being looked down upon by no one is really not a good one...
She was silent, but Jin Shengman behind her gave up!
This princess of Zhende has a strong character, is charming and straightforward. She immediately raised her beautiful eyebrows, glared angrily, and said angrily: "Do you want to imprison your majesty here? The Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette. The sect of the world, your Excellency is like this If you embarrass a female prostitute, aren't you afraid of tarnishing the reputation of the Tang Dynasty and making the world laugh? "
Fang Jun was slightly stunned.
I thought she was an arrogant and willful girl with big breasts and no brains, but I didn’t expect that she had a little brains and knew how to occupy the moral high ground...
But such a little trick is nothing in front of him.
There was no refutation or explanation. He nodded calmly, looked at Jin Shengman's pretty face that was more youthful and beautiful than Queen Seon Deok, and said: "What do you mean by this, Princess? The gate of the Datang Military Camp is open to Your Majesty at any time. Come whenever you want." , if you want to go, please do as you please.”
Then, he turned to Queen Seondeok and asked: "Your Majesty decides for yourself whether to go or stay?"
Jin Shengman's pretty face turned red with anger, wasn't this a rogue act?
Are you going?
Stay?
A blatant threat, this man seems quite honest, how can he be so shameless? !
"Zhende, stand down!"
Queen Seon Deok frowned, gave a light scolding, and then said to Fang Jun Wanfu: "My sister-in-law is incompetent. I hope that the Marquis will not care about it. Please send troops quickly to suppress the rebellion. I am here, waiting for the Marquis." Victory and return in triumph,”
Fang Jun raised his eyebrows at Jin Shengman, full of provocation.
Jin Shengman was so angry that his silver teeth were almost broken, but he did not dare to say more.
Even though she is young and has never experienced government affairs, she still knows that this is a moment of life and death for the Jin family. Even if this unprecedented crisis is planned by this hateful person in front of her... But under the eaves, people have to bow their heads and go on. , the only one who suffers is the Jin family.
But I was not convinced in my heart, and secretly swore that one day I would repay today's revenge...
There were sounds of footsteps outside the tent, the sound of leaves clashing, and the sound of orders being issued. After a while, someone shouted loudly outside the tent: "The general has been ordered to assemble the army. It has been completed. Please give the order, Lord Marquis!"
Fang Jun no longer looked at the angry Jin Shengman, turned around and took out a sheathed sword from the wall, hung it on his waist, and without saying a word, he strode out of the tent and stood at the door, looking around at the large soldiers who were already neatly arrayed. Tang Huben shouted loudly: "Silla is a vassal of the Tang Dynasty. It is our unshirkable responsibility as a sovereign state to protect the peace of the vassal state, protect the people of the vassal state, and stabilize the political situation of the vassal state! As soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, we are loyal to the emperor, patriotic, and protect the country. We should march forward bravely and eliminate the rebellion! "
The soldiers' eyes were shining brightly, full of excitement and excitement!
Has Silla become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty?
This is completely different from allies!
Doesn't this mean that, inadvertently, the navy, under the leadership of the Marquis, has incorporated the land of Silla into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and it has been the territory of the Tang Dynasty for generations to come?
Expand your territory!
No one can resist the glory brought by such unparalleled achievements!
This is the greatest achievement among the Tang army, second only to Qingtian's protection and the stability of the country!
What's more, in the Tang Dynasty, where military merit was paramount, the meritorious service brought about by the expansion of territory could fully earn everyone in the Navy great praise! Even an ordinary soldier can complete the third rank of military merit, from the lowest soldier to a sixth-grade flying cavalry captain after the third rank!
As long as you have the honorary title, all taxes and corvees in your family will be reduced!
The most important thing is that the title can be hereditary! Although it has to be lowered to a lower level without a single attack, even so, it can easily maintain prosperity for three generations!
The soldiers were all flushed with excitement, and they all raised their arms and shouted: "The Tang Dynasty is mighty! Mighty! Mighty!"
Thousands of people shouted in unison, the sound shook the whole country, and the momentum was soaring to the sky!
The nearby Silla people who came with the Tang army to seek protection did not know what had happened. They were all frightened and gathered around the Tang army's camp to inquire about each other.
"Why is the morale of the Tang army so high?"
"I just heard that the Marquis of the Tang Dynasty said that Silla has become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty..."
"Isn't it an ally? When did it become a vassal state?"
"I just saw His Majesty's chariot entering the Tang army camp. Is it possible that Your Majesty has reached an agreement with the Tang army?"
"What will your Majesty do if Silla becomes a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty?"
"Then you still need to ask? Aren't there rumors a few days ago that His Majesty will abdicate the throne to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. From now on, the Lord of Silla will be the son of the wise and powerful Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"
"...Alas, Your Majesty has been wronged for the sake of us common people!" (End of Chapter)
