The marriage problem of Her Royal Highness the Queen is a constant problem.
Her father is King Jinpyeong Kim Baekjeong. Kim Baekjeong had no heirs and only had three daughters. After his death, his daughter Kinderman successfully succeeded to the throne.
She is the first queen in the history of Silla.
And during this time period, the most amazing thing was that Turks had their first female protagonist.
The reigning Queen Suigu of the Japanese Kingdom, Edabe, was also the first queen in the history of the Japanese Kingdom.
Well, if you add in the very natural Queen Subisura of Subi, the number will reach four.
Female protagonists seem to have become fashionable all of a sudden. I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or some other reason, but they just appeared on the stage of history so unexpectedly.
And each one is extraordinary.
Needless to say about Ashina Yang Huan, it was Li Po's little wings that were causing trouble, otherwise she could only become the regent of the Turks like her predecessor, Princess Dayi.
But Kinderman and Otabe actually became the masters of a country.
Queen Suigu did a lot during her reign. She balanced the powerful ministers and implemented reforms. The Japanese were able to run rampant in the East China Sea. This was all because during her reign, the Japanese country's national power gradually became stronger.
And a woman who becomes a queen has no life of her own.
Nadabu was better, because she was the queen of King Mingda before she came to the throne, so she gave birth to several children.
Kinderman ascended the throne as a young man and was not suitable for anyone to marry. The young nobles of Silla did not want to marry the queen, putting themselves in an awkward position.
And the deeper reason is that the nobles do not want the queen to give birth to an heir, especially the Jin family. They do not want a person with a foreign surname to have the opportunity to inherit the throne.
So intentionally or unintentionally, Her Royal Highness the Queen’s marriage issue was ignored.
Of course, if this person were the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, it would be a different story.
…………
The two sisters have only dabbled in this matter. They have not yet gone through personnel affairs, so they cannot say too many flirtatious things, and His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is not someone they can easily covet.
Kinderman couldn't help but be aroused. Some things would be fine if others didn't mention them, but as long as he started, that person's imagination would be unleashed.
…………
"When I was in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty, I heard someone say that they were preparing to hold a system for selecting officials called the imperial examination. I asked my cousin when he came back some time ago.
The imperial examination has been held. According to my cousin, the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty was so great that it affected the entire country. Talented people were selected from all over the Tang Dynasty and given official positions.
I also asked Master Cui for advice, and he said that the essays are used to determine the merits. There are many and complicated things tested, but they are all very profound knowledge. The people here are far behind.
But I think that if you want to win the long-term favor of the Tang Dynasty, paying tribute every year is one thing. Selecting people to go to the Tang Dynasty to participate in their imperial examinations can also enhance the friendship between the Tang Dynasty and Silla.
If someone could serve as an official in the Tang Dynasty, he would be able to speak at any time when it comes to Silla affairs, and he should be able to get support from some Tang people.
When I go to Chang'an next year, why don't I talk about this and see how Datang responds, what do you think?"
Kinderman put away his scattered thoughts, thought for a while and said: "My sister is so smart, she is much better than me. Isn't this why we sent so many people to Datang before?
I've never heard of the imperial examination before, and I don't know if I can be selected..."
Jin Shengman laughed, "There are so many things that I haven't heard of... A year ago we were still worried about the invasion of Baekje and Japan, but now they have all perished.
If Silla does not seek change, it is really hard to predict what will happen. Now it would be a wise move to cater to the Tang Dynasty and integrate into it..."
Looking at his talkative sister, Kinderman sighed and said, "Hey, have you ever thought about it, if one day Silla people call themselves Tang people, should we cry or laugh?"
Jin Shengman shook his head, his long hair flowing, "So what? We are trapped in such a remote place, with an area of only a few hundred miles and a population of less than 100,000 households. So what if we are strong? How can we be weak if we are weak?
Being one of the counties in the Tang Dynasty was considered unworthy, so why are there so many opinions?
Huh, so many ancestors worked hard, but they were often oppressed by Goguryeo, Baekje, and Japan. With my own efforts, Silla is just trying to survive. Do we have to let future generations live in fear?"
Having said this, she waved her arms vigorously, "What do they think? Sister, they should understand that Silla is here, so is the power of the Jin family and everyone else.
But have you ever thought that Datang can give us more?
The subordinate country... is an outsider after all, sister."
After some twists and turns, a determined traitor spoke her mind. She was more radical than others. She just felt that the Tang Dynasty was great and Silla should be more active in integrating into the structure of the Tang Dynasty.
, instead of always thinking about what Silla is doing. In that case, wouldn’t it be like standing outside others?
If someone is not good enough, he will follow in the footsteps of Baekje...
In fact, her statement is not true. Goguryeo has been powerful for many years and is still a neighbor of Silla. If she follows her theory, Silla would have been destroyed by Goguryeo long ago. How can it still exist today?
With a sense of nationality, and not having the same origin or species, they naturally would not bow down to others easily. It was not an easy task to integrate into the Tang Dynasty.
"I'll just listen to these words. Don't tell anyone about it in the future..."
Kinderman frowned. She didn't think so clearly. She just felt that her sister's yearning for the Tang Dynasty was a bit too much. Although she felt that what her sister said made sense, how could she let go of the foundation created by the previous kings so easily?
Becoming a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty was already the limit. If it were any more, even if she could agree to it, her subordinates would not sit idly by and ignore it.
Jin Shengman smiled and stopped making any comments on this matter. Her heart had already flown to the west, and the ties to her homeland were becoming dispensable in this girl's heart.
After returning to Silla, after experiencing successive wars, she became more and more disdainful of Silla, which was located overseas, and the nobles who were short-sighted and had no idea of the vastness of the world.
What kind of princess of Silla, what kind of holy nobles... the colorful Tang Dynasty should be her destination.
There is her teacher there who is very knowledgeable and there is nothing in the world that he does not know. This is naturally the old Mr. Pei from Luoyang.
There is also a man she admires, which is His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Well, the Queen is also very good to her.
There is a life she wants to live, which means a magnificent residence, gorgeous clothes, exquisite food, elegant etiquette, etc.
In other words, everything she wants is there.
Therefore, she has now begun to think about going to Datang with her sister next year. She will stay there and never come back...
