Chapter 4924 The Central Plains belongs to the Silla people!
Seeing the two people's expressions change, Fang Jun smiled and reassured: "It's just preparation for the worst case scenario. The situation may not deteriorate to this point. You two don't need to be nervous. You are prepared. But you must pay close attention to all the clan mansions. Be careful of them causing trouble, and take decisive measures once you realize that the situation is not good. I will be responsible for everything.”
Cheng and Sun heaved a sigh of relief and agreed repeatedly.
Whether it is a civil servant or a military general, it is extremely important to have a superior officer above you who is willing to take responsibility. You can do whatever you want without worrying about being thrown out to calm the situation afterwards. It would be better if the superior officer above you is still a towering and strong peak. .
"Okay, pay attention to the situation in Chang'an. I will take people to patrol the Furong Garden. If anything happens, you can look for me there."
Cheng and Sun: "..."
Furong Garden is nothing more than a manor and waterside pavilion. They are all private gardens. What is there to patrol?
Going to patrol the Queen of Silla's bed?
"Here."
Although he complained in his heart, he didn't dare to say a word and promised honestly.
……
Chang'an City was not quiet on a snowy night. With the heavy snow falling, lamps and candles were lit in many squares. From time to time, people wandered and looked at the gates. Most of these were people in the square who were arrested by Jinwu Guards. I was anxious but couldn't do anything about it, so I sent someone here to find out the latest news.
After all, even after the two mutinies of Changsun Wuji and King Jin, there had never been such a large-scale arrest. No one knew what went crazy in the court.
But as time goes by, some news inevitably leaks out...
Is it because there is something wrong with Zhaoling's building materials? !
As a result, Chang'an was shaken and filled with righteous indignation.
His Majesty Li Er's prestige is almost unparalleled in the minds of Chang'an officials and people. Even Emperor Gaozu, who raised the army to establish the Tang Dynasty, could not match it. This was not only created by His Majesty Li Er's victory in a series of foreign wars after he ascended the throne, but also by Li Er. The Second Majesty's consistent national policy of "king at home and dominating externally" brought a sense of pride and identity to the people of the Tang Dynasty.
Throughout the Zhenguan Dynasty, wars almost never stopped. This was an example of "militancy" and a "chaotic government" that would be slandered by scholars and resisted by the people. "No matter how big a country is, it will perish if it is warlike." This has been an ancient Chinese saying The wise saying that I believe in today is, "Be kind to foreigners." A good emperor is "soft and diligent at home." Like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who used all the power of the country to conquer the Xiongnu, he was proud and expanded his territory, but the life of the people in the country became increasingly difficult. Except for those ambitious militants, who would Living in such an environment?
The Tang Dynasty was different.
On land, wars were waged one after another against Xueyantuo, the Turks, the Western Regions, Goguryeo, and even against Dashi; on the sea, against the Japanese, against Champa, against the East, against Nanyang, and even Crossing the ocean to face the eclipsing navy, the Royal Navy cut through the waves and traversed the seven seas...
But after fighting one war after another, not only was it not like when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had an empty treasury, all industries were ruined, and the people were in dire straits, but the more they fought, the richer they became, the more food they had, and the more they fought, the stronger the country became...
< br>
For the common people, they do not understand the deeper national strategy, let alone the economic model. They only know that the reason why the Tang Dynasty was not like the Han Dynasty in that its national power was deteriorating and daily life was difficult, because His Majesty Li Er was stronger than Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!
Therefore, the general consensus is: Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is already a rare British emperor in history, but he is still one level worse than His Majesty Li Er. From ancient times to the present, the top position of "emperor" can compete with His Majesty Li Er. The only one who can stand out is Qin Shihuang, the "Eternal Emperor", and the rest are inferior...
Now there are actually people tampering with the mausoleums of His Majesty Li Er and Queen Wende, and most of them are descendants of the clan. How can we tolerate such disobedient, disloyal, and treasonous behavior?
The continuous victory in foreign wars has led to an inevitable phenomenon, that is, the "martial spirit" in the entire society is extremely strong. How many people in Chang'an have never been on the battlefield, and how many have never killed anyone?
Tang people are bloody!
When the mausoleum of the "Emperor and Mingjun" in their minds was desecrated, a wave of anger quickly accumulated, spread, and then vented. As a result, many people lit torches and threw them into the courtyard of the clan residence outside the courtyard wall. In the middle, on the ridge of the room, and then dispersed in a rush.
Many clan residences in Chang'an City burst into flames with thick smoke billowing amid the heavy snow.
Jingzhao Mansion urgently dispatched patrols and government officials to put out the fire everywhere. Jinwu guards rushed into the streets and alleys to suppress the situation...
Chaos.
……
The brocade quilt is billowing, the jade skin is fragrant, the red candle is burning and the wax oil is flowing, and the snowflakes fall on the window and are melted by the temperature in the room, with water marks and mist soaking it.
Kinderman was a bit of a germaphobe. Even though he was already exhausted after being tossed around a few times, he still insisted on cleaning himself under the service of the maid. He also helped the man lying sprawled on the bed clean up, and then he let out a sigh of relief. Climbing onto the bed and lying next to the man, he turned sideways and found a comfortable position, squinting slightly to enjoy the afterglow.
"Have you slept?"
"How is it possible? A good workout is just the right time to feel relaxed and refreshed, and you can still fight for 300 rounds!"
"Eh~ Well, Langjun is majestic, invincible in a hundred battles, and extremely talented. He is a strange man in the world... Haha! Don't always be so anxious and make people feel like you have nothing else to ask for except this matter. Please talk to me more. Let’s talk.”
"Speaking is for communication, and communication must be in-depth. What can be deeper than this?"
"I'm afraid of you, can I surrender?"
"How can you surrender just by talking about it? Well, it doesn't seem impossible..."
"Don't make trouble! Hmm...it smells weird."
"Already washed."
"Don't you hear that 'everything is inside but outside it'? It can be seen that Mr. Lang is already broken in his bones..."
……
The snowflakes slapped on the window, making a slight rustling sound, like the gurgling of a clear spring, or like the night-blooming night-blooming epiphyllum.
Washed again.
Fang Jun put on his coat, went to the living room to light the candles, and found a copy of "Laozi's Guide" by Wang Bi, a metaphysician from the Wei and Jin Dynasties, on the bookshelf. He lit the candles in front of the desk by the window and sat down at the table. Start reading.
Kinderman tidied up and put on a silk dress. Her hair was as beautiful as a cloud, her figure was plump and graceful, and her appearance was heavenly. She curiously asked: "Why don't you sleep?"
"There is a little chaos in Chang'an City tonight. Some people may take desperate measures. I can't sleep because I am thinking about this. I want to read a book and be quiet."
Kinderman asked someone to fetch a few plates of pastries and boiled water to make tea: "Is this the Wannian County government's massive arrests in the city tonight?"
After all, he was once the master of a country. Even though all the manpower around him was lost due to Jin Famin, and he was under the supervision of "Hundred Qisi", he still had the ability to quickly obtain information in Chang'an City.
"Yeah."
Fang Jun put down his book, picked up a piece of pastry and took a bite.
Putting the tea cup in hand, Kinderman sat next to him. The fragrance of tea and body were fragrant. The two combined into one, it was very refreshing.
"You Han people are really consistent in their ability to fight among themselves. It seems that it has never stopped since the day it was recorded in history books."
Kinderman wrinkled her nose cutely, seeming to be very dismissive.
"Ha," Fang Jun sneered, scorning this statement: "It should be said that from the moment social hierarchy emerged, human beings' pursuit of power has been engraved in their blood. This is the case for the Han people, and you Silla people are no exception? The Han people are rich in Jiuzhou. , the territory is thousands of miles, the land is vast, and it is reasonable to compete with each other. Isn't the small land of Silla and the barren land also the bloody changes of royal power in the past dynasties? It can only be said that the temple is small, the wind is strong, and the pond is shallow and there are many bastards? .”
Kinderman was immediately dissatisfied, his eyes widened, and he retorted: "Silla people are actually Han people. They are descendants of people who migrated eastward to seek refuge during the war in the Central Plains during the Three Kingdoms period, so they inherited the Han people's nature of internal fighting."
Fang Jun was speechless, staring dumbfounded at the pretty beauty in front of him. Wouldn't you say "The Central Plains belongs to the Silla people"?
Your national nature is really consistent and has not changed after thousands of years...
Drinking tea and bickering, the atmosphere was relaxed.
After a long time, Kinderman sighed, looking at Fang Jun's side face, but hesitated to speak.
Fang Junqi asked: "Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, it's okay to say it, but do you need me to do your best?"
"Bah!"
Kinderman blushed and spat. She was proficient in Han culture and naturally knew the original meaning of "the work of dogs and horses", but since this idiom was misinterpreted by Fang Jun, she couldn't bear to look directly at it...
"Tell me, can I return to Silla one day?"
“Missing home?”
Fang Jun suddenly realized.
Although Silla became a foreign country and a barbarian land, it was influenced by Han culture, and its feelings of "homesickness" and "homeland" were the same as those of the Han Dynasty. As the Queen of Silla, she had no choice but to stay with the Tang Dynasty and leave her hometown. It is normal for her to feel homesick from time to time.
"Yes, I have been away from my hometown for a long time. I don't know if the people in my hometown have enough food and clothing, and whether they have houses to live in during the severe winter... It is inevitable to miss him. If I can go back and take a look, I will have no regrets in this life."
< br>
As he spoke, his beautiful eyebrows were full of resentment.
Fang Jun took a sip of tea and thought for a while, why: "This... I'm afraid it won't be easy. Naturally, the subordinates must be more tightly supervised. Otherwise, wouldn't it be like letting the tiger return to the mountain and causing trouble in his life? But if he waits until His Majesty gives birth, , leaving the heir to the Tang Dynasty as a hostage, it is not impossible for me to fight for it from your majesty. "
"Seriously?"
"Of course we take it seriously, otherwise even if His Majesty can pass the test, the civil and military forces of the entire dynasty will definitely oppose it."
Everything is afraid of "convention". Queen Seondeok's return to her hometown seems to be no big deal, but once it happens, the other chiefs of the Turks, Xueyantuo and other tribes also ask to go back to their hometowns to see if they agree or not?
Kinderman's beautiful eyes were shining brightly, and she bit her lip gently with her teeth. She blushed and said softly: "Then thank you for your hard work. If you can give birth to an heir as soon as possible, I will be very grateful."
Fang Jun laughed and said: "I will do my best and I am willing to do the hard work of dogs and horses!"
Kinderman was slightly annoyed: "Can you please stop using this idiom? You are shameless."
Fang Jun called out to Tianqu: "But I don't know who is always overjoyed and happy?"
"Oh, stop talking!"
Kinderman couldn't stand this shameless man, so he got up and took his hand to the bedroom.
Fang Jun followed suit, taking off his clothes as he walked. He was already naked before reaching the bed. He could still "work hard" while it was still dark...
……
After daybreak, the snow continued to fall heavily and showed no signs of stopping.
The people of Chang'an walked out of their homes and saw the soldiers of the Jinwu Guard clearing the snow on the street with tools, and they joined in one after another. (End of chapter)
