Chapter 2856 The Queen of Good Virtue should come to find a way soon
Jin Chunqiu was imprisoned in the prison of Pyongyang City in Goguryeo, and the news that he was a hostage had already spread back to Silla.
But the problem is that after the news that Jin Chunqiu met the messenger sent by Jin Yuxin in the prison and died suddenly in the prison that night also spread to Silla, the entire Silla officialdom was in an uproar.
Especially Jin Yuxin, who worked hard for days and finally summoned 50,000 elite troops near Jincheng.
He was about to lead his army to march north to force Goguryeo to react and release Jin Chunqiu, but he never expected that this news was waiting for him.
But this was not the end. The rumors that subsequently spread from Goguryeo to Silla made Jin Yuxin so angry that he almost exploded his cerebral blood vessels.
Rumor has it that Kim Yu-shin, the second-in-command of the Hwarang clan, has always coveted the position of Lord Fengyue.
However, Jin Chunqiu, who was capable of both literary and martial arts, was far ahead of him, Jin Yuxin, a vulgar warrior, in terms of reputation and ability.
Therefore, he, Jin Yuxin, had been resentful in his heart after having stayed in the position of his deputy, the second in command, for nearly ten years.
But now, Jin Chunqiu was imprisoned in the prison of Goguryeo, and Jin Yuxin suddenly realized that this was an excellent opportunity.
Therefore, he was very active in rescuing Jin Chunqiu from the Silla court, but in fact, he quietly and secretly sent his trusted followers to Goguryeo.
Then he colluded with Park Kwang Kyung, a Silla merchant doing business in Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo.
The highly poisonous food was sent to the prison, and Jin Chunqiu did not have the slightest doubt about Jin Yuxin, who was also from the Hwarang Clan, was in charge of the Hwarang Clan with him, and was related by marriage.
So he quickly suffered a loss and was deceived, and died of poison in prison.
However, Goguryeo's powerful minister Yeon Gaesumun felt that Jin Chunqiu's death was too strange, so he ordered a thorough investigation.
Through torture and torture of the relevant criminals, he finally followed the clues and finally caught Kim Yu-shin's close confidants.
Unfortunately, this close friend resisted and was chopped into pieces by the heroic Goguryeo soldiers. However, evidence was found that this dead soldier was sent by Jin Yuxin.

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!" Jin Yuxin roared angrily and slapped the table hard with his big hand.
"It must be the trick of those Goguryeo people. They obviously killed my brother-in-law, but now they want to put the blame on me."
"Yeon Gae So-moon, you must die a happy death!"
Another deputy brother of Hwarang, Jin Wenying, saw Jin Yuxin being so furious and quickly spoke to persuade him.
"Su Yan, please calm down, please calm down. Now, no matter how angry you are, it will not help.
What we should be thinking about now is how to reduce the impact on our Hwarang people after Lord Fengyue was killed."
"Why, are all the Hwarangs just ignorant idiots?"
Jin Yuxin glared at Jin Wenying with lingering anger and sat down unwillingly.
Jin Wenying sighed helplessly and tried to persuade her patiently.
"Brother Yu Xin, what you said is too much. Many people among the Hwarangs are convinced by Jin Chunqiu, but they are not convinced by you and me."
"Now that there are such rumors, it is very detrimental to our Hwarang people. You and I must appease them properly."…
"To appease them... Now that Goguryeo has harmed the Spring and Autumn Period, I can't wait to send troops to go to Goguryeo now to avenge the Spring and Autumn Period..."
When he said this, Jin Yuxin's eyes suddenly lit up and he punched.
"Yes, let's do it this way. First, the Hwarang people can see my determination to be irreconcilable with Goguryeo.
Secondly, if I want to avenge my brother-in-law, I can also dispel the doubts of those people. In this way, the rumors will be self-defeating."
After hearing this method, Jin Wenying's eyes lit up, but soon, he became worried again.
"Yu Xin, now that the Spring and Autumn Period has passed, at this time, we are raising troops to attack Goguryeo. If Baekje hears that Silla takes the initiative to fight against Goguryeo, will they sit back and ignore it?"
"Humph, in my eyes, Baekje is just a bunch of rabble."
"In any case, if I don't make a statement, I'm afraid that the Hwarang people who have worked together will soon fall apart..."
"..."

Queen Seondeok looked at the information that came back with a very ugly face. After a long time, she asked her confidant Kim Pil-dam with difficulty.
"Could this be a plan by those Goguryeo people to alienate each other? They are trying to make me, Silla, lose another powerful general."
"Your Highness, there is indeed such a possibility." Jin Bitan nodded seriously, but he lowered his voice and changed his mind.
"But Your Highness, as the saying goes, there is no wind without fire. What's more, the Hwarangs have always recognized Jin Chunqiu as the Lord of Wind and Moon.
And even though he, Jin Yuxin, has great military prowess, he is still a deputy brother, but he cannot deny that Jin Chunqiu has given him a lot of support..."
Queen Seondeok had a gloomy face, raised her hand to stroke her forehead and thought for a long time before she spoke.
"This matter must be suppressed first. Now I, Silla, can no longer withstand the turmoil."
"Also, Mr. Bitan, would you please go see Cheng Taibao and tell him that 50,000 elite troops have arrived in Jincheng.
Since Jin Chunqiu has died, it is useless to raise troops to the north to force Goguryeo at this moment. Ask him how he will solve our current predicament in Silla."
"Yes, I will do it now." Jin Bitan bowed respectfully to Queen Seondeok, and then walked quickly towards the door of the palace.
At this moment, Jin Bitan was in an extremely happy mood, but it didn't overflow on the surface.
Jin Chunqiu was not only outstanding in ability, but also very prestigious in the government and the public. This made Jin Bitan very clear that this person was definitely a huge threat to himself.
But fortunately, as he unfortunately died in a prison in Goguryeo, the Hwarang people who originally worked together lost their backbone.
Moreover, Jin Bitan was reluctant to suppress the rumors that Jin Yuxin was jealous of Jin Chunqiu's ability to be much stronger than him and secretly plotted against him.
It is best to spread the word as widely as possible. In this case, it will be difficult for the Hwarang people to fully unite.
And he can also reach out to the Hwarangs and gather some talents under his command, so that he can have a greater say in the court.
"As for the rumor, Cheng just gave it a slight boost. In fact, the main reason is that Yeon Gae So-moon probably doesn't want to be the scapegoat."
"Going along with the current and pushing the blame on Jin Yuxin, this might even be able to alienate the kings and ministers of Silla. He would naturally be happy to do such a thing."
Li Yifu lost no time in flattering him.
"As expected of Xiao Cheng Taibao, a dead person like Jin Chunqiu can still be of such use value."
"Haha... I think that Queen Shande will come looking for Cheng soon. After all, her hero is suspected of this."
"Even if she has a false reputation, she will feel a little uneasy in her heart. In this case, Cheng's plan..."
"Third Young Master, Jin Bitan has come here to see you on the orders of the Queen of Silla."
