Chapter 1857: Living in troubled times, my daughter is in trouble
Living in troubled times, the political situation is unpredictable. How difficult is it for a woman to support a country in a situation surrounded by wolves?
Outsiders can only see the supreme light from above, but how can they fully understand the misery and helplessness at the time of confusion and hesitation...
Only by being alone in a darkroom, or in front of the people closest to you, can you fully reveal this fatigue and haggardness.
This world has never belonged to women. If a woman wants to stand out in a man's world and make her own achievements, the effort she puts in will naturally be a hundred times that of a man.
Queen Seondeok even often thought that if she had been born a boy, the situation would be very different. There would not be so many constraints in the court, let alone so many people who coveted the throne, relying on their intelligence , even though Silla cannot dominate the world like the Tang Dynasty, it can easily do so in a small corner.
However, she was not a man after all, and the difficulties she faced were unimaginable. This greatly affected her energy, and she had to rely on an alliance with the Tang Dynasty to stabilize the royal power of Silla.
Just at that moment, the pressure brought by the complicated situation completely touched the softest part of her heart as a woman, and she came up with the idea of "if I just let go, I will be free for the rest of my life"...
Naturally, these thoughts only passed by for a fleeting moment, just like the shadow of a wild goose crossing a cold pond, leaving no trace behind.
Jin Shengman stared blankly at the gentle and haggard sister in front of him.
As long as she can remember, this elder sister has always been dignified and strong. When she ascended the throne and became the lord of Silla, her behavior was even more decisive. Like Jin Yushin, Silla heroes such as Jangcheon also willingly lurked under her elder sister's authority. All the people of Silla praise him.
She has always been a role model for her to learn from...
The current look of submission, weakness and helplessness was something she had never seen before.
After a moment of silence, Jin Shengman muttered: "I don't want to go to Datang, it's not good at all."
Queen Shande calmed down and said with a gentle smile: "Why is this? Everyone in the world is looking forward to one day going to Chang'an to see the cultural relics of the Han Dynasty and appreciate the splendor of the Tang Dynasty. Why don't you? Would you like to go? Chang'an is much more prosperous than our Jincheng."
Jin Shengman bit his lip, his face slightly red, and said angrily: "In this Jincheng, Fang Jun dared to ask his sister for me. If he goes to Chang'an, that is his territory, and he will do whatever he wants. You might as well snatch me away. When the time comes, the world will not respond to you, and the earth and the earth will not work. I will commit myself to such arrogant scoundrels for the rest of my life. I might as well just die!"
Queen Seondeok held her hand and laughed.
Jin Shengman was slightly annoyed, stared at his sister angrily, and said displeasedly: "Why are you laughing at me, sister?"
She and Queen Seon-deok are sisters, but they are more than ten years apart. Queen Seon-deok has no heirs, and the entire royal family is very thin. Naturally, she dotes on and protects her only cousin. She is more of a sister than a sister. They are like mother and daughter, so Kim Seung-man often shows such a coquettish look in front of Queen Seon-deok, and Queen Seon-deok increasingly dotes on this pretty sister.
Queen Shande teased: "That Fang Jun is known as 'Nine Dou of Talent' in Chang'an. He is a young man who is better than Cao Zijian. He is also nicknamed the 'God of Wealth'. It is said that the gold and silver goods in his family are carried in the cart. Cattle, sheep, and horses fill the valley. It is no exaggeration to say that the country is as rich as any country. The most important thing is that this man looks rough and arrogant, but in fact he is very good to his wife and concubines, gentle and caring... I am afraid that if he is really killed by that strong man After snatching it away, after waiting for three to five years, my sister didn’t even recognize me as her sister. She only knew that she was obsessed with me and had deep-rooted love..."
"Oh! Don't say it, don't say it. It's so ugly... Who would be so obsessed with that living bandit? Humph, just look at how he bullied my sister today. If you really steal it from me, I'll give it to him on the wedding night.
One knife!"
"Hey! She is indeed the daughter of the Silla royal family, but in this case, doesn't it mean she murdered her husband?"
…
The two sisters hugged each other, whispering and joking in the middle of the night, in this deep palace, which was extremely warm.
Queen Seondeok looked at her sister's beautiful face and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
If this was a younger brother, even though he might not be as considerate as he is now, he would be enough to become Silla's future. She was sitting in this position with great trepidation and exhausting her efforts. She really didn't want this beautiful girl to come to her.
On the old road, she was still so young, like a flower bud that had just bloomed, fresh and delicate. How could she be willing to let her go through the baptism of the storm and taste the helplessness and bitterness of life prematurely?
But in life, there are no choices.
In this case, I will bear this burden for a few more years, so that she can grow up without any worries, then adopt a son-in-law and have children, and inherit the throne...
*****
Early the next morning.
Last night, there were shouts of fighting and fighting in the long street, which scared the people and merchants to close their doors and hide in their homes, trembling, fearing that someone in the court would cause chaos and bring disaster to the pond, and they had no idea what was going on outside.
At dawn, a bold merchant removed the door panel and pushed open the door. He was immediately shocked by the scene on the street...
Groups of mighty and majestic Tang troops lined up on the street, each with bright helmets and fully armed, with their feet slightly spread apart, holding the handle of the horizontal knife on their waist with one hand, majestic and murderous, covering the entire long street.
It's so clogged that water can't leak out.
As soon as the merchants showed up, they were stared at by Tang Jun nearby, who yelled: "Go back!"
Although the merchants are of low status, they are well-informed. Even if they don't speak Chinese, they can probably understand such simple vocabulary. They don't even dare to fart when they hear the words. They close the door with pale faces and close the door panel.
, hurried to the backyard and shouted: "The sky has changed! The sky has changed! The capital has been captured by the Tang army..."
For a time, rumors that "the capital was captured by the Tang army" spread rapidly secretly. The situation was uncertain and no one dared to go to the streets to inquire. But if the Tang army had not destroyed Silla, why did so many Tang army opponents appear outside the royal city?
Silla has been a country for a long time and has been passed down for more than ten generations. However, the people do not have a strong sense of identity with this country and do not have much national dignity.
Just think about it, it is a barren country with no land left over. Sometimes they even rely on selling their daughters to survive. The king and ministers take turns sitting among the families. The poverty and status will never change. Which common people can belong to it?
feel?
When you meet a wise king who cares for his people, the people cheer and rejoice; when you meet a foolish king who is extravagant and lustful, the people don't make any noise and take their families with them to flee Silla, whether it's Goguryeo, Baekje, or even across the sea.
When you go to Japan, you can conquer all the vastness of the world...
So what is sad is that the common people and businessmen actually hold an optimistic attitude towards rumors such as "the Tang army captured the capital"!
How wonderful the Tang Dynasty is!
The most powerful country in the world, its majesty and invincibility are invincible. Look at the Tang Dynasty people who occasionally walk through the streets of Jincheng. Even the merchants, they all have their heads held high and their chests high and arrogant, even in front of the powerful and powerful!
This is the confidence of a powerful country.
If one day we become Chinese people, think about it, it seems pretty good...
As a result, facing the heavily armed Tang troops all over the city, the entire city seemed extraordinarily quiet.
Not a single troublemaker...
As soon as Fang Jun got up from the temporary tent set up on the street outside the royal city, a soldier came inside to report that it was Jin Famin who wanted to see him.
Fang Jun yawned and asked him to wait outside. Then he asked the soldiers to fetch water and wash his face.
Jin Famin's arrival was expected by him. As the most loyal supporter of Queen Seondeok, how could Jin Chunqiu not be concerned about his attitude towards the assassination last night?
It is actually not difficult to capture the mastermind behind the scenes. It just depends on whether Silla is willing to work hard and make the determination. But after being caught, whether Fang Jun will withdraw his troops as promised and will not put forward some unreasonable and harsh conditions. This is Silla
This is something that both kings and ministers are worried about.
After all, someone in the Tang Dynasty raised the topic of letting the Tang royal family succeed the Lord of Silla. No one knows what Fang Jun’s position is...
After a long night of tossing, Fang Jun only slept for an hour at dawn, but Fang Jun seemed energetic and not tired at all. On the contrary, Jin Famin, who had returned home to rest since returning from Japan, had dark circles under his eyes and swollen feet.
It's a situation of being hollowed out.
Fang Jun was sitting in a large tent set up along the street, sitting on a small horse. He picked up a steaming bun on the table in front of him, took a bite, drank a sip of ginger slices and shredded pork soup, and said with a smile: "Brother Jin, please take pity on yourself."
, it is said that young people don’t know the value of essence and blood, and when they grow old they sigh and shed tears... Don’t exhaust your essence early, but then you are powerless when you see a woman, leaving a beautiful woman like a flower alone in the empty boudoir, maybe there will be a fight
Out of Hongxing out of the wall, haha, haha..."
Looking at Fang Jun who was chewing steamed buns and laughing loudly, Jin Famin looked depressed.
Silla is already nervous and nervous, but you are so out of tune...
