Chapter 4263 Royal Ambition
Hibiscus Garden.
This summer's abundant rain has caused the lake water in the garden to surge and the lotus flowers to thrive. Whenever the wind blows across the pond, the green lotus leaves rise and fall like waves, and the air is cool and fragrant, exquisite and beautiful.
The small pavilion in the pond has a winding path leading to the shore, hidden among the lush lotus leaves, surrounded by pink and white piles, and the wind blows from all directions.
Kinderman wore a green skirt with a color similar to that of lotus leaves. Her posture was slender and graceful. Her dark hair was tied up with a white jade hairpin, revealing a slender white neck. Her eyebrows were picturesque and lotus leaves were The skirt is cut in one color and is parted to both sides of the face.
The dignified and awe-inspiring queen's temperament in the past has gradually disappeared. Now she sits alone in the pavilion and drinks tea. She is as gentle and beautiful as a lady. Her face complemented by the lotus flowers makes people completely forget her age...
Deep in the lotus leaves, there was the sound of footsteps, and the water birds near the pavilion were suddenly startled and fell into the water, causing ripples.
After a moment, a handsome young man in a brocade robe came quickly and stopped five steps outside the pavilion. He bowed to the ground and said respectfully: "I have an audience with your Majesty."
Kinderman slowly took a sip of tea, raised his bright eyes, and said in a clear, cold and touching voice: "If a man who has subjugated his country is living thousands of miles away, how can he be called your Majesty? Let's meet him as a family."< br>
The young man was Jin Famin of the Silla royal family. Hearing the words, he paused for a moment, hesitated a little, and then said: "My nephew has met my aunt."
His mother, Mrs. Tianming, and Kinderman have the same father and mother, and are close relatives to each other. Therefore, when the Silla Golden City fell and the royal family was in trouble, Kinderman once fell in love with Jin Bomin's father, her brother-in-law Jin Chunqiu. He inherited the throne, but Jin Chunqiu eventually died tragically, and Silla was completely merged into the Tang Dynasty. The inheritance of the Silla throne was thus cut off.
Kinderman said softly: "No need to be polite, come and sit."
"Here."
Jin Famin walked into the pavilion and knelt down opposite Kinderman.
Kinderman's two spring-like jade fingers on his left hand grasped the sleeve of his right hand, revealing a bright wrist that can bully the frost and snow. He filled the tea cup in front of Jin Famin with a pot, and then tapped his fingers on the tea tray. Indicated to Jin Famin to drink tea.
Jin Famin bowed her head with her chest in her arms and thanked her solemnly. Then she picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The tea went into her throat, scalding hot and sweet. The breeze was blowing around her, and the lotus leaves were rippling. People were more beautiful than flowers, and flowers reflected their beauty. For a moment, she couldn't tell where they were. Where is the fragrance of flowers, where is the fragrance of tea, and where is the fragrance of people.
The peripheral vision passed by the pair of snow-white and delicate jade hands, and I felt my heart skip a beat. I quickly lowered my eyes, not daring to look at them any more.
Kinderman caught her nephew's expression in her eyes, but didn't care about it. She knew very well how alluring her body was, and few men could resist it.
Youyou asked: "Why did you come here today?"
Jin Famin pondered for a moment, thinking about the current relationship between Her Majesty the Queen and Fang Jun, and simply said bluntly: "I was ordered to lead 'Hwarang' to sneak into Chang'an, and now it has been properly placed by the Duke of Yue. I think it will be of great use. In view of the current situation The situation in the Tang Dynasty is tense, and the emperor and the prince are fighting to the death. This may be a rare opportunity for our Silla..."
The words are not finished, but the meaning has been clearly stated.
After all, as a Silla royal family, his father Kim Chun-chu is qualified to inherit the throne when Queen Seon-deok has no heirs. Once Kim Chun-chu becomes the king of Silla, then as Kim Chun-chu's eldest son, he will naturally become the new king. Luo Chujun.
Now that Silla has merged with the Tang Dynasty and become an overseas vassal, the noble and respected Jin family has been torn apart and displaced. Suddenly faced with a good opportunity to restore the country, how can we remain indifferent?
Even a dog does not wag its tail and beg for mercy, but occasionally barks a few times to get a bone for itself...
Kinderman didn't seem to be interested in this. His eyes passed over Jin Famin and focused on a graceful lotus in the pond outside the pavilion. He looked at the pink and white petals and said slowly: "How are you doing?"
Jin Famin was a little excited, swallowed, leaned forward slightly, and whispered: "Maybe we can contact Jin Wang Li Zhi and assassinate the Tang Emperor in exchange for his support for the restoration of Silla. Then my aunt can return to Jincheng and lead the Jin family. The royal family regains the glory of its ancestors! ”
Now, three thousand "Hwarangs" under his command are hidden in a secret place by Fang Jun, waiting for the important moment to decide the outcome of the current battle for imperial power in one fell swoop.
As long as the timing is right, he can indeed use Fang Jun's trust to make earth-shattering moves.
Kinderman then withdrew his gaze, looked at the nephew in front of him, and asked slowly: "Since he is using you, how can he be unprepared for you? Not to mention whether you can succeed, even if you suddenly hit him with a blow, He was caught off guard, but trying to escape unscathed afterwards was simply delusional.”
"I'm not afraid!"
Jin Famin became more and more excited and excited, his fair and handsome face flushed a little. He knelt at Kinderman's feet, his voice trembling: "Why should you be afraid of me whether you live or die? When Jincheng fell, Your Majesty had to endure humiliation and commit himself to being a thief. The Jin family disappeared overnight, and I decided to die. As long as I could restore my country, I would not be afraid even if I was cut into pieces by a thousand swords!”
For a nobleman who once had a chance to inherit the throne, the humiliation of becoming a slave of the subjugated country with nothing overnight is difficult to bear, especially when the person he respects the most has to become the Tang Dynasty in order to save the last trace of the Jin family's blood. The plaything of the rich and powerful, the anger and hatred are so heart-breaking that they gnaw at the bones.
Now, he has gained Fang Jun's trust by enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens. He has the opportunity to deal a fatal blow to the Emperor of Tang Dynasty and give the Jin family a chance to be reborn. How can he be stingy with this?
Tai Shigong of the Han Dynasty once said, "Everyone is destined to die. It may be heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather, depending on how you use it."
Jin Famin, who was familiar with Han history, claimed to have a profound understanding of justice and was extremely determined to die.
But before that, he had to come to get Kinderman's permission so that he could make full use of this opportunity after his death to obtain more benefits for the Jin royal family.
Kinderman quietly looked at her nephew lying at her feet, her eyes wavering slightly. Such a last outstanding descendant of the Jin family was about to make up his mind to die and was willing to die to complete Silla's revenge and revival. How could she Are you really indifferent?
After a while, she sighed softly and said in a sweet voice: "Your so-called restoration of the glory of the ancestors of the Jin family is inevitably a bit self-righteous. The Jin family did once rule Silla, but where is the glory? With the Huanghuang Han family Compared with the previous dynasty, we are just a group of barbarians who enslave the people like livestock and have never had a brilliant future. Civilization has never had a strong country... Even if the country is restored, it will be just a vassal of the Han people. It will not only face the suppression of the Han people, but also endure the persecution of the Baekje, Goguryeo, and Japanese people... Let Silla disappear from the history books Above all, let’s integrate into the Tang Dynasty together. Why not be Han Chinese from generation to generation?”
As a child of the royal family, Jin Famin cared about his own power and honor; but as the Queen of Silla, Kinderman saw the sadness and misery of a small country struggling to survive in the cracks. Generation after generation, the people of Silla resisted the invasion and massacre of Baekje and Goguryeo. Countless people died tragically on the battlefield and died of famine. If this continues, the nation will eventually be exterminated.
Originally, the Tang Dynasty's eastward expedition to conquer Goguryeo was an opportunity for Silla. As long as it relied on the Tang Dynasty and joined forces with the most powerful country in the world to destroy Goguryeo and Baekje, then Silla would most likely become the master of the peninsula. In the future, when the Tang Dynasty weakens, Silla can take its place and unify the peninsula.
But Fang Jun's navy strangled Silla's neck and completely killed all the plans of the Silla people.
The matter has come to this, no amount of ambition can bring hope of returning to the country. It can only completely bury the last bloodline of the Jin royal family under the butcher knife of the Tang Dynasty...
At some point, Jin Famin burst into tears. He raised his head, cried and looked at the woman in front of him who he respected and loved and was willing to give up his life. He cried out sadly: "Has your Majesty surrendered to the despotic power of the Tang people and is willing to be an arbitrary person?" Have you become a toy that people have insulted, and have you forgotten the blood of the Jin family in your body?”
Jin Shengman remained silent.
Not getting the answer she wanted, Jin Famin wiped away her tears, knelt on the ground respectfully, kowtowed three times, stood up and left without saying a word.
The sound of footsteps gradually disappeared in the winding path behind him, and the breeze rustled the lotus leaves. Kinderman's eyes were frozen, and he suddenly stretched out his hand from the railing, cut off a graceful lotus, and plucked it off.
The pink and white petals were piled up in layers, and were broken off one by one by delicate hands, and fell into the clear pond one by one.
Koi fish swim from the bottom of the leaves, looking for food.
After a lot of hard work, I got nothing.
*****
Outside Hangu Pass, the rising autumn wind blew through the mountains, dyeing the forests. Teams of wild geese flew past from north to south, leaving a chirp in the air from time to time.
Tens of thousands of people camped in the valley, spread out along the valley, and the sound of people shouting and horses neighing was endless.
In the Chinese military tent, Zheng Rentai looked at Liu Rengui who was leisurely and leisurely, and became even more suspicious in his heart.
Fighting steadily all the way, it has been two days since we arrived at Hangu Pass. The army has been reorganized, the battle plan has been sent to the army commander, and the ordnance and equipment have been arranged, but the battle that should have come long ago has not been fought...
< br>
News from Guanzhong continued to spread. Yuchi Gong marched straight in and defeated Donggong six times in a row. He had arrived east of Baqiao. Although the Bashui defense line seemed impregnable, no one knew whether the garrison in Guanzhong behind Chang'an would trigger a chain reaction. Under such circumstances, Liu Rengui should quickly capture Hangu Pass and advance straight to Tongguan, completely locking the King of Jin and his men in Tongguan, so that they would not dare to enter Guanzhong with all their strength to counterattack Chang'an. However, Liu Rengui seemed to be dismissive of this. Every day, the old god was planning the strategy to attack Hangu Pass, completely unaware of the principle of "soldiers are more valuable and speed is faster".
Today, watching Liu Rengui sketching on the map again, Zheng Rentai finally couldn't help it and said, "I guess the general has already been in contact with Hangu Pass? Although I am stupid, I also know that Qiu Xinggong must have a secret relationship with the general. The plan is not to show such a painstaking plan to attack Hangu Pass, and quickly let Qiu Xinggong be placed at the city gate to welcome us into the city."
He was very dissatisfied. Even though he was defeated miserably in the Battle of Banzhu and was forced to change his court to obey the navy's command, if you and Qiu Xinggong kept a close eye on each other but refused to fight. If you couldn't tell it anymore, how could you Isn't it the same as the blind man?
I have fought more battles than you have played with women. You are clearly insulting my IQ... (End of Chapter)
