The Park family and the Kim family, as the highest-ranking nobles in Silla, have been married for generations, relying on allies, and jointly control the royal power of Silla. These two super nobles are in the same spirit, and the rest can only bow down and let them be driven.
There is no ability to resist.
But after spending hundreds of years happily, the two nobles finally parted ways due to various differences.
On the surface, they are still close allies, but secretly they have begun to plan their own plans, intending to use various means to attack the other party and seize the interests of the other party.
As the founder of Silla, how could the Park family be willing to give up when they saw the royal power being snatched away from their home by the Kim family?
The conspiracy, conspiracy and brutal methods behind the scenes never stop for a moment...
Surrounded by tigers and wolves, there are still poisonous snakes in the house that bite back. Even if the current dangerous situation can be overcome safely, how many years can the Kim family hold the power of Silla?
ten years?
Twenty years?
Or a hundred years?
He did not think that Goguryeo and Baekje could withstand the overwhelming attack by the Tang Dynasty's heavenly troops on land and water. Once Goguryeo and Baekje were destroyed, how could the Tang Dynasty tolerate Silla being the only one living in a small corner of the country's vast territory?
This is as disgusting as a bride coming home to find a baby with her...
Jin Chunqiu had seen through the entire situation. Either the Eastern Expedition of the Tang Dynasty failed, Goguryeo and Baekje recovered, and they would inevitably pour their anger on Silla, or Goguryeo and Baekje were destroyed, and Silla became a thorn in the side of the Tang Dynasty.
Thorn in the flesh.
Even if the two countries are allies!
Can Silla fight against the coalition forces of Goguryeo and Baekje, or can it withstand the invincible military front of the Tang Dynasty?
both are not.
So no matter what the situation is, Silla's ending has become inevitable - the country will be destroyed and the family will be destroyed.
By then, as the royal family of Silla, the fate of the Jin family is also clearly visible. They will definitely collapse under the pressure of foreign enemies and the Park family, and may even die...
How to save this desperate situation?
It seems that welcoming a descendant of the Tang Dynasty royal family to become the lord of Silla is the best way.
As long as a certain prince of the Tang Dynasty becomes the lord of Silla, Silla will completely become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty and a real family. Jin Chunqiu never thought that Goguryeo and Baekje could withstand the full blow of the Tang Dynasty.
If it is well protected, then as a vassal of the Tang Dynasty, Silla will be free from war, and the Jin family can also be well protected by virtue of their dedication to the country.
The Tang Dynasty took Silla for the sake of long-term peace and stability. As a new ally, the Jin family, which has deep roots in Silla, will inevitably be relied upon.
Besides, there is Fang Jun’s guarantee...
But if this happens, wouldn't it mean that the seven hundred years of Silla's reign will be ruined?
Since the Kim family took the throne of Silla from the Park family three hundred years ago, the inheritance has been endless, developing Silla from a village tribe to the great country of today. Who can bear it, who can be willing to have the inheritance cut off?
?
I am afraid that the person who proposes to welcome the Tang royal family will become a sinner of Silla...
But if it does not completely attach itself to the Tang Dynasty, Silla's future will be even more worrying, and the end of the Jin family is already in sight.
The choice between them is really difficult to decide...
Jin Chunqiu sighed in sorrow and asked Jin Famin, "In your opinion, what should we do?"
After asking, I felt a little annoyed.
What's there to ask?
I saw the expression on his face, which was so exciting that he had just been excited by a Chongwen Hall student quota, that he was almost in a state of emergency, and he knew the tendency of this child...
Sure enough, Jin Famin said: "At present, the power of the Tang Dynasty has swept the world. Whether it is Silla, Baekje, or even Goguryeo, trying to block the expansion of the Tang Dynasty is nothing more than a mantis trying to block the expansion of the Tang Dynasty. Who can stop the Tang Dynasty?
They will all be torn into pieces in front of you."
After a pause, he looked at his father and said in a deep voice: "Father, the strength of the Tang army is far beyond your expectation. It is not only the bravery of the soldiers, but also their ever-changing ordnance and equipment. Those are as big as melons.
The iron lumps, igniting the seal and then throwing them out, are enough to crack mountains and crack rocks. How can the human body resist it? And the artillery on the ship... Father probably thinks that our Jincheng City has thick walls? Then it only takes one shot of the artillery, and then the cannons on the ship...
The thick city walls will also crumble and collapse! Ships travel thousands of miles on the sea, how much equipment and equipment cannot be transported? Therefore, Goguryeo and Baekje will be defeated!"
"Once Goguryeo and Baekje were defeated and the Tang army marched in, it would be easy to restore the original rule of the four Han counties. By then Silla would be in a corner, and it would become a scabies disease in the eyes of the Tang people. No matter how uncomfortable it looks, sooner or later they will attack Silla!
"
"How will the Jin family deal with themselves then?"
The father and son had almost the same views. After Jin Famin finished speaking, they both fell silent for a while.
You can hear a needle drop in the hall.
After a long while, Jin Chunqiu let out a long breath and sighed: "But even so, how can my father mention this to Your Majesty? Your Majesty is always a prostitute, but he is smart and courageous, and he has great trust in his father. Now,
I asked my father to go and persuade His Majesty to abdicate in the Tang Dynasty and to renounce his country... My father can't open his mouth."
As the closest ancestry to the "Holy Bones", Queen Seondeok has always believed in Jin Chunqiu and put double emphasis on her.
Now that we are talking about "holy bones", we have to mention the bizarre "bone system" introduced by the Silla nobles in order to consolidate their privileged status.
The ruling group of Silla Kingdom is composed of three surnames of the royal family and six noble families. The three surnames of Park, Kim, and Hu are the largest nobles in the Silla ruling group. Not only can they inherit the throne, but they also monopolize the entire bureaucracy and have supreme power. Park
, In the past, the royal family of the three Jin families had the highest status and were called "Holy Bones". The nobles, big and small, were divided into four levels: "True Bones", six-headed grade, five-headed grade, and four-headed grade.
Only the "Holy Bones" nobles can inherit the throne.
Nobles determine their hierarchical status and corresponding official ranks based on blood. Different bone grades are not suitable for marriage. Bone grades are hereditary and remain unchanged.
It stands to reason that Jin Chunqiu is a close descendant of the Kim royal family, but why was the throne of Silla passed to Queen Seondeok instead of him?
This is because Kim Chunqiu is the son of Kim Yung-soo and Princess Cheonmyeong. Kim Yung-soo is the son of King Jinji, and King Jinji is the deposed king. Silla law stipulates that after the sacred bones are deposed, they will be reduced to real bones. The quality of the bones is
Hereditary remains unchanged, so Jin Chunqiu was originally supposed to be a holy bone, but it became a real bone and lost the qualification to inherit the throne. For the same reason, his son Jin Famin cannot...
It is precisely because of this that Kim Chun-chu devoted himself to assisting Queen Seon-deok and never had any desire to covet the throne.
Jin Famin pondered for a while and said in a low voice: "As a child, there is no need to mention this matter to Your Majesty. Your Majesty is smart, how can you not see this situation clearly? As long as my father hands over the real mastermind to Fang Jun, it will inevitably cause chaos in the court."
In the middle of the turmoil, His Majesty was forced to accept the pressure, and even if he was unwilling, he had to allow the Tang people to intervene, and he would know how to choose."
Jin Chunqiu remained silent.
He already knew who the real mastermind behind the scenes was.
That was the founder of Silla, the Park family, one of the three holy bone families!
Even though the throne of Silla has been controlled by the Kim family for three hundred years, the Park family has been working tirelessly to manage it, dreaming every day of regaining the throne that had been lost for hundreds of years from the Kim family!
In addition, due to the superiority of the Jin family, the Park family and the Xi family have become closer and closer in recent years. Although these two holy bone families have been silent for many years, their strength is still spread throughout the court. Once Jin Chunqiu hands over the mastermind behind the scenes, there will inevitably be consequences
With the strong rebound of these two families, if you are not careful, the entire Silla will fall into turmoil, and even war will break out!
Compared with the whole country falling into turmoil, Jin Chunqiu felt more embarrassed that this move was equivalent to putting Queen Seondeok on the fire...
For a queen who was diligent and devoted to her people, there was nothing sadder than seeing the whole country fall into turmoil and despair, and she had to abdicate the throne to win the support of the Tang Dynasty to quell the civil strife.
Thinking of Her Majesty the Queen's trust in him over the years, Jin Chunqiu thought for a long time, and then slowly said: "Let me think about it again as a father..."
*****
Here, Jin Chunqiu and his son were wrestling with the interests of the Jin family and themselves. Over there, Fang Jun had already sealed the letter with fire paint and handed it over to the two scouts.
"With this secret message, you will take your officer's talisman and return to Huating Town in a warship. Then you will go north to Chang'an along the post station. You are not allowed to stop on the way. You must submit it to Taiji Palace as quickly as possible. If anything goes wrong, the military law will
Dispose of it!"
The two scouts were shocked, and they quickly stood upright and promised loudly: "I understand, I will never dare to delay important military and national affairs!"
"very good!"
Fang Jun patted the shoulders of the two of them and encouraged them with gentle words: "We are going to Chang'an through thousands of mountains and rivers. I am well aware of the hardships involved. It's just an urgent military matter. As soldiers, you should overcome all difficulties.
Go forward bravely! After the secret message is delivered to Chang'an, there is no need to rush back to Silla. After returning to Huating Town, you will stay at the naval station. When the Eastern Expedition begins next spring, you will go to sea with the army. At that time, I will grant you two a captain.
Job!"
In this era, the risk of long-distance travel is too great, and death in a foreign land often happens. Even if it is for military communications, traveling so fast across thousands of mountains and rivers, various accidents can easily kill a person.
Appropriate rewards are a must.
The two scouts were immediately overjoyed and excitedly performed military salutes and said: "Don't worry, Lord Marquis. Even if you are humble and die, you will climb to Chang'an and die in Chang'an!"
