Wang Xuance explained: "Although Bitan is a 'pro-Tang faction', he is not pro-Tang Dynasty, but his own power. According to what I know, this person is not only ostracized in the Silla Dynasty, but also has a relationship with the Goguryeo royal family.
It is quite dirty, and can even be called a grudge. Once Silla is destroyed, others may be able to continue to hold high-ranking positions, but he will never be able to do so. Previously, there was a rumor in Chang'an that he asked Queen Seondeok to take the throne, but
Silla tried its best to resist, so they gave up. But please think, Lord Marquis, if something happens to you in Silla at this moment, His Majesty will be furious. If possible, he will send troops to threaten Queen Seondeok to abdicate... And Queen Seondeok abdicated, and the Imperial Family of the Tang Dynasty
When a descendant succeeds to the throne, the one who will benefit the most is Bi Tan."
Whoever benefits the most is the mastermind.
Fang Jun thought about it carefully and realized that this was indeed the case. Once she was assassinated, Queen Shande would certainly hope to find a scapegoat to bear the wrath of the Tang Dynasty and solve the Tang Dynasty's request for her to abdicate, but this possibility is real.
If it is too small, the greater possibility is that the Tang Dynasty used a thundering force to quell all the forces in Silla, and at the cost of the queen's abdication, it was possible to recover the loss caused by Fang Jun's death.
On the contrary, Bitan is the one with the greatest benefit.
Most importantly, that guy doesn't look like a good person at first glance...
But no matter what, he had to force Silla to hand over this person!
Want me to die?
Then sacrifice your head to the flag first!
*****
Silla Royal Fortress.
Queen Seondeok returned to the palace, her pretty face was like frost, and she knelt down on the royal steps without saying a word.
Anyone can feel the raging anger burning in Her Majesty's heart...
Jin Chunqiu, Jin Yuxin, Changchuan, Bitan and others all followed him into the palace. After all, such a major event required deliberation on a countermeasure.
This is not just as simple as arresting the mastermind...
Even though she was furious, Queen Seon Deok remained calm. She slightly gave way and said: "Everyone, please sit down."
The ministers thanked them and knelt down in the hall one after another. Jin Chunqiu said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that the people of the Tang Dynasty will not be able to let go of what happened today."
If Fang Jun's goal was just to be the mastermind behind the scenes, it would be simple.
Most afraid that the Tang people would take the opportunity to cause trouble, they would make a series of extremely rude requests, and even bring up the old matter of asking the queen to abdicate...
How could Queen Seondeok not know?
Xiumei frowned slightly and sighed: "So what? The Tang people are strong, and Fang Jun has always been arrogant and domineering. When the assassination happened, there was no general army to block the whole city in chaos, which was considered restrained. If it were another Tang Dynasty,
Senior officials, I am afraid that there is already a turmoil in Jincheng at this moment, and the Tang army will be in trouble... In any case, the mastermind behind the scenes will definitely be found and handed over to Fang Jun. As for his relatives... the Yi tribe!"
The three words "Yi San Clan" came out from between her teeth through clenched teeth.
It can be seen how angry he was towards this villain who brazenly assassinated Fang Jun and made Silla completely passive!
Jin Yuxin said: "It is actually not difficult to find out the mastermind... With so many corpses there, it is impossible that they are all dead soldiers who have never seen the light of day. There will always be one or two who have shown up. As long as there is a large-scale
We will conduct an investigation and find out the truth soon."
Bi Tan sneered and said: "General Jin is really ridiculous. Even though Jincheng is not as powerful as Chang'an and other cities in the world, it is still the capital of Silla and the heart of the country. There are about a hundred thousand merchants, merchants and soldiers in the city. How can we check this?"
Is it possible to put those corpses on the street and let the whole city go and identify them one by one?"
Jin Chunqiu raised his eyelids and glanced at Bi Tan, then lowered his eyes and said calmly: "Why bother so much? In Silla, one can have the courage to assassinate Fang Jun, and can even make such arrangements, and can even instruct the royal guards in the royal city.
Those... there are only a few people after all."
Not to mention anything else, just being able to support so many dead warriors and assassins is not something that ordinary people can do.
In this way, the scope of suspicion is naturally greatly reduced.
Even...both Jin Yuxin and Yanchuan stared directly at Bitan.
Bi Tan was a little suspicious at first, but then he understood and became furious: "Do you think this is my fault?"
Yan Chuan snorted: "Whoever did it knows it in his heart."
Bi Tan retorted: "You are dissatisfied and angry all day long. You hold your head up when you walk. It seems that you are the most powerful in Silla. Why were you so cowardly in front of Fang Jun just now and didn't dare to say a harsh word to others?
"
Yanchuan's face turned red, he stood up suddenly, pointed his halberd and said angrily: "You insidious and cunning villain, in my opinion, you did this, and you want to put the blame on His Majesty! Come on, come on, you and me
Stand up and see if I dare to kill you with one knife!"
He was extremely embarrassed just now. He was completely suppressed by Fang Jun's power for a moment, and he actually didn't dare to say a word. This has already brought him a lifetime of shame! Now Bi Tan, the guy he usually looks down on the most, is using this to laugh at him.
, how to bear it?
Fortunately, this is within the royal city, in front of His Majesty, otherwise Yan Chuan would have given him a white knife to go in and a red knife to come out without any hesitation... I'll make you talk bad!
But how could Bitan be afraid of him?
Immediately he couldn't stand the excitement, so he stood up and stared angrily, ready to start!
Queen Seondeok put her hand on her forehead and said angrily: "Everyone sit down! Do you think I'm dead?!"
"The general will not dare!"
"Wei Chen doesn't dare!"
The two had no choice but to endure their anger and ceased their activities.
It's just that the hatred between each other is getting deeper and deeper...
In fact, there is nothing to discuss in this matter. If Fang Jun is not given an explanation, and he really plans to do it himself based on his attitude, how will Silla's face be saved by then?
As for whether Fang Jun took the opportunity to cause trouble... we have to wait until the mastermind behind it is arrested.
As Jin Chunqiu said, there are only a few people in Silla who have the ability and motivation to assassinate Fang Jun. Those corpses cannot be all dead soldiers who have never seen the light of day. There will always be people who have shown their faces.
The best way is to let these people who have suspicions testify against each other.
As long as someone has seen one or more of the corpses, they will definitely know whose family they belong to, and it is impossible to deny it...
This matter must be dealt with immediately, otherwise the Tang army's stay in front of the royal city gate for one more day will be a torture for the kings and ministers of Silla.
After several important ministers left one after another and began to investigate the case, the slim and beautiful Jin Shengman walked out of the back hall...
"That Fang Jun is really hateful!"
She pouted her little mouth and said angrily.
The incident happened just outside the royal city. The Tang army formed an array outside the royal city with great fanfare. This matter could not be hidden from anyone, and the news had already spread in the royal city.
In her opinion, Fang Jun wanted to rob her as a slave and concubine, and he did not take Silla into consideration at all. The queen sister was even more angry because she was so sad. He was simply the worst villain in the world, full of evil deeds.
The heinous kind!
Queen Seondeok touched her forehead with her hand and sighed quietly.
In front of the sister she had watched grow up since childhood, she showed a tired and helpless look, and sighed: "Even if it were someone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't be more kind than Fang Jun... Not only was he almost assassinated
The anger is more about fighting for a greater say in the alliance between the two countries and grabbing more benefits..."
Jin Shengman felt his sister's helplessness and exhaustion, and felt extremely distressed. He knelt down beside Queen Seondeok, gently leaned on her shoulder, and said distressedly: "My sister is a hero among women, you must cheer up!
"
Queen Seondeok smiled tiredly, took her hand, stroked her dark and smooth hair, and said softly: "What kind of hero is my sister? Silla is such a big place, but it has almost exhausted all the energy. Do you know
, when my sister was tired several times, she wanted to immediately obey the wishes of the Tang Dynasty, and simply took the initiative to abdicate and hand over the throne to a Tang royal family, and then went to Chang'an to see the majesty of the most majestic city in the world and appreciate the world's most powerful city.
The style of a powerful country. It is said that poetry and wine are popular in Chang'an city. Even an ordinary wine shop and teahouse are a gathering place for literati and poets. How long-lasting and elegant it must be..."
She spoke so softly of her thoughts, her beautiful eyes sparkling, full of admiration and yearning...
Jin Shengman was horrified and said quickly: "How can this happen? My sister is not encouraging my elder sister to covet the throne, but even if my elder sister is willing to give up the throne, with your status, how can the new king tolerate your existence? I can't say,
Just like what the history books say, when the new king ascends the throne, the first one to be eradicated is you..."
Queen Seondeok was born into the royal family of Silla. Her ancestors were the wives of Park Hyuk, the founding monarch of Silla. She also made great military exploits during the founding of the country and gained great prestige and strength in the country.
So even if Queen Seondeok is willing to take the throne, which new king can calmly let her continue to live, endangering his own throne at all times?
Queen Seondeok felt her sister's concern and smiled: "Sister, I'm just talking. How can I just let go of such a heavy burden? But you said it wrong, Tang Wei
Conquering the world requires not only invincible force, but also its broad tolerance, which is indeed admirable. For example, Ashina Simo, who was a Turkic noble and once held great power to control the ambitions of the Turkic Khans, surrendered
After the Tang Dynasty, didn't he still be granted royal titles and achieve glory and wealth? What's more, two years ago, he heard that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty allowed him to lead more than 100,000 people, 40,000 elite soldiers, and 90,000 horses to cross the Yellow River and build a royal palace in Dingxiang.
The city was guarded by shepherds and would always be the barrier of the Tang Dynasty... Even Ashina Simana and other Turkic nobles could trust and respect it so much. How could there be no place for a female prostitute in the glorious Tang Dynasty? "
