There is no such thing as falling in love at first sight and then becoming like sisters.
Li Bi only looked at the girl for a moment, and said in her heart, she is really beautiful, especially her big eyes, which are blinking, showing the girl's innocent and charming posture to the extreme.
He is just the right age, and his body is strong and healthy. Even though he is tired after a long journey, he still exudes youthful vitality from the inside out.
Well, my skin is a little rough and the color is a little dull, probably due to exposure to wind and sun, so I just need to take care of it and it will be fine.
Li Bi saw many beauties in the palace, but the appearance of the Silla girl still made her eyes shine, which showed that she was really good-looking.
Li Bi couldn't help but sigh secretly, this is really what her husband likes, Silla people are really good at choosing people.
Jin Shengman was a little at a loss when she looked at him. Once he came into close contact, the pressure placed on him by the Queen became even greater.
Li Bi is a full head taller than her, and her figure is as straight as a pine tree. You can feel her strength and determination without taking a closer look. The majesty she has developed from being in a high position for many years highlights her uniqueness at all times.
At this time, Jin Shengman had no pride or loss to speak of. There was only admiration and a trace of envy and fear left in his heart.
She is the top noble among the Silla people, in other words, the essence of the Silla people. She has practiced literature and martial arts since she was a child. Now that Queen Deokseon has no children, she is the first heir to the throne of Silla.
Even though she is still young, she is already famous on the peninsula. Even the King of Goguryeo has heard about her good name many times.
But in front of Li Bi, she was like a cub that had just been born and was looking out to observe the world. Not to mention compared to Li Bi, even those famous ladies from the Central Plains pale in comparison.
Jin Shengman bowed again, "Did the empress come to pick me up specially? I really don't dare to take it seriously..."
Li Bi no longer supported her. The kowtowing bugs from Silla were much better than those self-righteous Goguryeo people, right?
"Silla lives overseas and has little contact with the Central Plains. Since you led your people to the Tang Dynasty, Your Majesty was very happy after hearing about it, and asked you to treat the envoys kindly and treat them favorably.
I just have nothing to do, so I came to see you... You are new here, so you must observe etiquette. The Tang Dynasty is hospitable, but does not allow people to be presumptuous. Do you understand what I mean?"
Jin Shengman nodded repeatedly and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. If the Empress of the Tang Dynasty was too kind, she really didn't know how to deal with it. Is this right... Just like when facing the teacher in Luoyang, just listen
Just leave it on.
The teacher had said before that the Tang Dynasty had just gone through war and lost all its vassal vassals. She came at the right time and could fight for the position of vassal, and she would definitely receive great preferential treatment.
The queen ordered her to go west to ask the Sui Dynasty for help. If she could really see the emperor, Silla would be very willing to join the Sui Dynasty. Now that the Sui Dynasty had been replaced by the Tang Dynasty, it would not affect this.
……………………
After a little contact, the group remounted their horses and entered the city.
Su Dingfang and others who escorted Jin Shengman to Chang'an first reported to the Ministry of War, and then whether to return immediately or stay in the capital for a while depended on the order of the Ministry of War.
Su Dingfang came to Chang'an for the first time, so he naturally wanted to stay in Chang'an for a few days, walk around and broaden his horizons. This is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, which is different from other places. Compared with here, Weicheng in Hebei Province looks like a countryside.
Where people live.
It's just that Su Dingfang was from Hebei and naturally had no good impression of the people from Guanxi, so he had no plans to seek official positions in the court.
Before entering the city, his soldiers were led to the military camps outside the city. After giving a few instructions, he led two of his confidants to follow the team into Chang'an City.
Not far away, someone came over and said, "General Cheng is hosting a banquet in the mansion tonight, and he wants to welcome General Su. General Cheng has said that we are a family. I hope General Su will not refuse."
Su Dingfang nodded in agreement without hesitation. It seemed that Cheng Zhijie was really an old member of the emperor's staff. There was no harm in getting to know him. Moreover, he was so enthusiastic. It was difficult for him to refuse when he first came to your place.
"Where does General Cheng live? I have to go to the Ministry of War to report now. It's getting late, so I'd better pay a visit tomorrow night..."
The visitor laughed and said, "It doesn't matter. I'll go with the general to the Ministry of War. I can just tell him when I get there. Is there really anyone who will make things difficult for me?"
He seems quite confident, but it is not surprising that Cheng Dahu has been hanging out in Qianniu Beishen Mansion since he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. This time he escorted Li Xizhi to Lingnan, and he also led soldiers from Qianniu Beishen Mansion and Tunwei.
, are all authentic local snakes from Chang'an.
Su Dingfang really felt the energy of Cheng Dabeard, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Then it will be hard work... General Cheng invites you kindly, how dare I refuse?"
………………
Su Dingfang and Cheng Zhijie were on the line here, and Li Bi was also talking to Jin Shengman over there.
"The ancestors of the Silla Jin family should have Qin blood, right?"
Jin Shengman was shocked. Silla was not a land of peach blossoms. Regardless of Qin, Han, Wei and Jin, people in Silla knew something about it. The nobles also had private disputes about who the ancestors of Silla were.
Of course, everyone thinks that they need to recognize a good ancestor, but they know very little about the Central Plains and it is not easy to recognize each other randomly. On the contrary, Goguryeo is closer to them.
Therefore, many Silla nobles felt that they were related to the Goguryeo royal family. Of course, the relationship with Goguryeo determined the degree of recognition of this statement.
When Silla surrendered to Goguryeo, they were relatives. If they turned against each other, they were enemies.
Other stories about the origin of the Silla people are actually myths and legends, which can be traced back to the time when Jizi ruled the peninsula during the Shang and Zhou Dynasties.
But at this time, Jin Shengman nodded without hesitation and said, "Your Majesty is really knowledgeable. The ancestors of the Jin family are descendants of the Qin people who lived abroad."
She said she was sure, but she felt very empty in her heart. She planned to inquire about the origin of the Qin people here so that she could find a named person for the Jin family. After returning, she would also discuss it with the Queen and the others to unify their opinions.
After that, the Silla people were the descendants of the Qin people.
This behavior sounds very rash, but in fact it is the same thing as the Central Plains princes and the previous Xianbei, Di Qiang, Xiongnu, etc. looking for their ancestors.
However, Li Bi was not innocent. After learning about the arrival of the Silla people, she asked someone to check the historical records.
There are very few records about the Silla people, but there are many about Goguryeo. During the Western Han Dynasty, the Fuyu people in the northeast established their country and gradually grew in strength.
At that time, there were indeed some remnants of the Qin people lingering in the remote areas of the northeast, and they were gradually driven south by the rising Fuyu people. This is clearly recorded in the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, the Xinluo people are probably the product of intermarriage between Qin people and local indigenous people.
Of course, these are all guesses. Li Bi asked such a question and immediately got a satisfactory answer. The girl looks very smart. It is a step for you to get relatives. If you continue to resist, it will be too clumsy.
Since we are all descendants of Chinese Miao people, we naturally have to get closer to each other.
Li Bi also planned to find a better ancestor for the Jin family of Silla. By the way, it was recorded... It seems a bit too much to insert it into the Han Dynasty. It seems that Wen Yanhong and others are revising the Wei book. Well, let him record it by the way.
It shouldn't be anything, right?
This is how history actually comes about, sometimes it’s really not that rigorous.
………………
Li Bi is actually a little less ambitious. If it were Li Po, giving them a surname would be the main choice. It would be better for me to be their ancestor instead of finding their ancestor...
"I heard that the writing and etiquette you wrote are similar to those here, but why don't we see each other?"
Jin Shengman thought for a while and said: "Goguryeo has always strictly prohibited Silla from going to sea, and the Baekje people are also competing with us for ports and docks, especially the Japanese, who have a cruel temperament and have always wanted to attack us.
Not to mention, some of their generals came to the sea to become pirates after they were defeated, killing many of our sea dwellers, making people afraid to cross the sea easily."
Has this started lobbying? But it sounds very novel.
Whether it is the Japanese, Baekje, or even Silla, for today's Tang Dynasty, they are all small overseas countries and not worthy of attention.
Of course, things seem to have changed now. Li Daozong, the general manager of Jiangzhou, had just destroyed Lin Yi and offered Kunlun slaves, which caused a certain shock in the court.
Immediately afterwards, Silla's envoys also came to Chang'an. As a result, people gradually became familiar with the surrounding small countries.
At this time, Li Bi wanted to ask in detail about the situation Silla was facing, but after looking around, he thought that he was not in a hurry, so he changed the subject with a smile.
"You are the sister of the new Queen Deshan. With such an identity and such a beauty, why did Deshan send you here? Could it be that you offended her?"
After chatting for a few words, Jin Shengman gradually relaxed, blinked his big eyes, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, you guessed wrong, we are siblings, we have been together since we were children, we will not be jealous and fight with each other.
This time I left Jincheng for a long journey because the King of Goguryeo wanted to call me to Pyongyang to be his concubine, so he could only send me to the sea for temporary refuge..."
Li Bi nodded and said: "I see, who is the current King of Goguryeo?"
Jin Shengman said: "King Gao Yuan of Pingyang died a few years ago, and the new king is his half-brother Gao Jianwu."
"Is Prime Minister still Eulji Mundeok?"
"Eulji Mundeok has been dead for many years. I heard that he died miserably and was chopped into pieces..."
Huh? Li Bi looked at Jin Shengman in surprise, "Isn't he a hero? It is said that he was very powerful in Goguryeo, so why was he killed?"
The girl shook her head and said, "I don't know... We guess it's because he is both a general and a prime minister and has too much power, so Pingyang King Gaoyuan doesn't like him, right?"
Ulji Mundeok was the commander-in-chief of Goguryeo at the time. Although the defeat of the Sui army did not depend on the enemy, it was Ulji Mundeok who led the army to defeat the Sui army.
This means that the man was killed because of his great achievements. Li Bi was a little pity. It seems that the culprits on both sides of the war were dead, which really gave them an advantage.
Find an opportunity to dig out all their bones, crush the bones and scatter the ashes, hum...
