Chapter 2843 Cheng Sanlang insists on taking my Silla military power, what is the reason?
Jin Bitan took it with both hands respectfully, unfolded it, and started reading it in quite standard and fluent Tang Mandarin.
First, it was to ensure that Cheng Sanlang and others knew that he was not blindly reading, so as to avoid misunderstandings.
Another is to show Cheng Sanlang and others that their noble ministers and workers of the Silla Kingdom also have a good grasp of the Tang Dynasty Mandarin.
There may be some who are not very proficient in speaking, but it is certain that they can at least be understood.
Cheng Chubi could naturally see the careful thoughts of this Silla leader. At the same time, because in this era, the erosion of Chinese culture on the surrounding countries was definitely a treat for these countries.
After all, as a Celestial Kingdom, not only does it have a developed culture, affluent life, and various daily necessities, but it is also loved by surrounding countries.
Just like today, almost all the currencies used by the countries surrounding the Tang Dynasty use coins minted by the Central Plains Dynasty.
One of the economic information collected by the Han and Tang Dynasty merchant houses about the surrounding countries was that the money-making system of the Tang Dynasty was extremely common in the surrounding countries.
Moreover, the value of the currency is very stable, which made Cheng Chubi think about the impact of currency internationalization in later generations.
Think about that beautiful country, which uses currency as a weapon all day long to smash, smash and rob the whole world. In comparison, the Chinese civilization believes in benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom and trust, and takes Confucian culture as its core.
It can be seen that the inclusiveness and tolerance of Chinese civilization have been subtly influencing every dynasty in China for more than two thousand years.
And after the rapid development that was completely based on plunder and exploitation, the Western barbarians disguised themselves as civilized people.
But when their interests were harmed again, the elegance and rules they flaunted.
Once again, they pulled it off and threw it to the ground, revealing that ugly and greedy face once again.
Cheng Chubi was distracted while listening, while the noble ministers of the Silla Kingdom sometimes raised their eyebrows and laughed, and sometimes frowned in discomfort.
"What does this mean? Why does our Silla country require everyone to learn the Tang Dynasty Mandarin?"
"That is, is it possible that the Tang Dynasty still wants to reach out to our Silla country and turn us all into his subjects?"
"The Tang Dynasty exported two million stones of rice to Silla every year. This is a good thing. After all, our Silla has a rugged terrain and insufficient fields."
"If the Tang Dynasty can really export two million stones of rice to Silla every year, then we can at least feed an additional 100,000 troops. Or we can feed an additional 300,000 to 400,000 people..."
"Everyone, who knows what the Tang Dynasty will be worried about. The price of these grains may be extremely high."
Cheng Chubi stood with his hands behind his hands, listening to the Silla people whispering quietly, but soon, Cheng Chubi noticed an anomaly.
Those were a few young officials from the Silla Kingdom, probably in their early thirties or less than forty, who were looking over here from time to time.
Moreover, they communicated in the Tang Dynasty Mandarin, and they spoke it quite fluently.
But there was a problem. The content of their exchange made Cheng Sanlang's eyes flash with coldness.
"...The Tang Dynasty seems to be generous, but in fact it stabs people with a soft knife. Everyone in Silla thinks that the Tang Dynasty is generous and benevolent."
"Maybe one day they will attack me, Silla, more ruthlessly than Goguryeo and Baekje..."
Liu Renjing raised his thick eyebrows and just took a step in that direction when he was stopped by Cheng Sanlang's raised arm.
"Brother, you don't have to be like this. Why should you care about the words of a few short-sighted frogs in a well?
If you really care, it will lower the standard of the ministers like me and other ministers of the heaven."
Cheng Chubi's words were neither too loud nor too quiet, just enough for those Silla ministers to hear.
Naturally, Liu Renjing and Fang Jun also heard it clearly, and they burst into laughter several times, almost falling to the ground laughing uncontrollably.
Kim Yu-shin and those Silla ministers who were born in Hwarang immediately fell out. They were such short-sighted frogs in the well.
Although I'm from Silla, my Chinese vocabulary is a hundred times better than yours. A rat is a rat, and a frog is a frog. They are two different creatures, and you can't mix them up like this.
And at this moment, the last one came out of Jin Bitan's mouth, instantly making Jin Yuxin and others who were about to have a seizure exaggeratedly widen their eyes.
The last one is that Cheng Sanlang, the leader of the Tang Dynasty's reinforcements, will become the commander-in-chief responsible for coordinating and commanding the Tang Dynasty's new coalition forces.
"What?!"
"How can this be?"
"That's it, how can I, the warrior of Silla, let an outsider take command?"
"My lord, this is simply too deceiving..."
The court, which had been peaceful before, suddenly became chaotic.
In particular, the military ministers headed by Kim Yu-shin and who came from Hwarang were angry and white-faced, and they roared in anger.
Queen Seondeok opened her mouth several times, but was silenced by the jabbering noises of these vulgar warriors.
In the end, it was Jin Bitan, the superior, who shouted angrily and repeatedly, and finally calmed down the situation.
However, how could Jin Yuxin, who had just made great achievements for Silla, watch the military power in his hands fall by the wayside?
He immediately fell to the ground and prostrated himself.
"The king must never agree to this. Our Silla soldiers defend the country's borders without fear of life and death. This is how we can keep Silla safe."
"Now, someone from the Tang Kingdom wants to take away our military power from Silla. What's the point of this?"
Cheng Chubi laughed and walked up to Jin Yuxin, half-smiling but not smiling.
"Why, is it possible that I, Wu Bi of the Tang Dynasty, want to obey the command of you, an unknown Silla general?"
#####
When Jin Yuxin heard this, he suddenly felt evil in his heart and stood up, intending to glare at each other angrily.
Jin Yushin, who considered himself to be relatively tall among Silla generals, was now looking at Cheng Sanlang, who was almost a head taller than him.
Even if he lost in size, he could not lose in momentum, but the problem was that he was too close. Jin Yuxin snorted and took two steps back.
"General Cheng, you can command the army of the Tang Dynasty yourself. As for our army of Silla, naturally I, a Silla man, will be the commander-in-chief."
"My Majesty, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, took pity on Erbang being invaded by Goguryeo and Baekje, and ordered me to send troops to help.
As a result, you, the Silla general, insist on holding the military power in your hands. It seems that you do not approve of your queen’s move to seek help from the Tang Dynasty..."
Hearing these words, Jin Yuxin couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. These words were so heartbreaking for Mother Te Te, he glared at Cheng Sanlang angrily and quickly saluted Queen Seondeok.
"My lord, I definitely have no such idea."
Cheng Chubi chuckled and asked Queen Seon Deok casually.
"May I ask, Your Majesty the Queen, who holds the military power of Silla now?"
