The Tang army lined up outside the royal city and on the long street. Apart from the doubts and panic at the beginning, the people of Silla gradually calmed down and did not cause too much panic.
The people of Silla have always been close to the people of Tang Dynasty.
Since the founding of the country, whether it was the period of the four counties of the Han Dynasty, or later the emergence of Silla's new army, they successively conquered the cities of Goguryeo and Baekje, defeating these two countries, and even now they are trapped in a corner and being bullied. Silla
They have always maintained friendly relations with the Han people.
Every few years, Silla sent envoys to the Central Plains Dynasty, and every year, countless merchants from the Tang Dynasty came to Silla, and the exchanges between the two sides were very frequent.
The Han people are benevolent, righteous and polite. As long as you don't mess with them, they will do business with you according to the rules. They rarely bully or do evil. The Silla people are also relatively gentle. They are not as violent as the Goguryeo and Japanese people. Everyone is fair.
Transactions, everyone gets what they need, and it's a pleasure to get along with each other.
Now, everyone in Silla knew that the Tang army came here to form an alliance with Silla and jointly fight against Goguryeo and Baekje. As for the Tang army suddenly waiting in formation on the long street, eyeing the royal city, everyone also heard about it.
I didn't think there was anything wrong with what happened last night - the dignified Marquis of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor's son-in-law, the son of the Prime Minister, himself the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, was almost assassinated on the street.
Who wouldn't be furious?
But even so, the Tang army only expressed dissatisfaction in this way and put pressure on the court, without any behavior that disturbed the people...
This is the teacher of benevolence and righteousness!
So after the initial panic, the people of Silla took to the streets one after another. Those who were brave looked at the Tang army's glorious military appearance from a distance, pointed and talked in private, while the Tang army turned a blind eye. As long as they did not step into the alert
Within the line, even if the people of Silla were watching, Qiu would not do anything wrong.
As dusk fell, the people on the streets gradually became fewer and fewer, and the whole city slowly fell into silence.
Fang Jun waited for a whole day, but did not receive any feedback from Jin Chunqiu and his son, but he was not in a hurry.
The lack of feedback means that the other party is still weighing the pros and cons and considering the gains and losses, otherwise a scapegoat has been introduced to fool him and he is already prepared to deal with his own rage.
As long as there is no rejection, it means there is still hope...
In Nuo Da's palace, candles were already lit, and everything was bright.
Queen Seondeok had just taken a bath, took off her strict palace clothes, and put on an ordinary Tang-style straight hairstyle. Her crow-crow hair was still a little moist, tied with a bright yellow silk ribbon, and tied behind her head.
The whole person is clean and neat, not like a queen, but like a handsome young man in troubled times.
If this appearance appeared at a banquet with Silla nobles, it would probably make the eyes of those wealthy ladies shine, and the butterflies would pounce on them like honey...
Sitting on her knees in the study, holding a red pen in her hand to handle some official duties, Queen Seon Deok became a little absent-minded. Her Excellency Zhu Bi ordered the maid to make a pot of tea, then dismissed the people around, and drank slowly by herself, pondering the current situation.
.
Not long after, a maid quietly walked to the door, bowed and saluted, and said softly: "The general has entered the palace and asks to see His Majesty."
Queen Seondeok frowned slightly, raised her head and glanced at the darkening night outside. She thought to herself that it was so late, what was the important matter for Kim Yu-shin to enter the palace?
But he said: "Quickly call him and bring him here."
"Here."
The maid bowed and left.
Even though they met in the palace late at night, some rumors would inevitably spread, but she had to meet Jin Yuxin. The two had known each other since childhood. They were once deeply in love and could be regarded as childhood sweethearts. Although they gradually became distant later, their friendship was not the same.
It was as intense as before, but the trust built on this friendship is extremely sincere and strong.
Queen Seondeok was convinced that even if the whole of Silla was condemned to her, when there was only one person left behind her, that person would be Kim Yu-shin...
After a while, there was the sound of footsteps outside the study, and Jin Yuxin stepped inside under the guidance of the maid.
"I have an audience with Your Majesty!"
Kim Yu-shin knelt down in front of Queen Seon-deok, bowed his head and saluted.
Queen Seon Deok quickly stretched out her snow-white hands to help her, and said softly: "If you and I meet in private, why do you need so many false gifts? Get up quickly!"
Jin Yuxin said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
He raised his head and saw the flower-like face in front of him that had not been eroded by the years. It was blooming with a gentle smile, its red lips were slightly opened, and a pair of eyes that looked like water were staring at him, and asked softly: "
Why did you come to the palace to see me so late?"
As Queen Seon Deok spoke, she stretched out her delicate hand, poured a cup of tea for Kim Yu Shin herself, and placed it in front of him.
Jin Yuxin only felt that his heart seemed to have been hit by something, and he was a little frightened. He quickly averted his gaze, not daring to look at the pretty face that once made him think so much. He coughed dryly, picked up the tea cup and drank the tea.
Finally, he said: "This morning, Jin Famin went to the Tang army's camp and asked to see Fang Jun."
Queen Seondek frowned slightly, not knowing why: "Jin Chunqiu and Fang Jun had an old relationship, and Jin Famin even accompanied Fang Jun to stir up trouble in the Japanese country. The friendship was not shallow, so why did he go to see Fang Jun?
Surprised?"
Jin Yuxin leaned forward slightly, his handsome face full of solemnity, and said in a deep voice: "It's not surprising that he went to see Fang Jun, but after he came back, the father and son spent the entire morning spying in the study, and then
Just now, the dead soldiers raised by Jin Chunqiu in the fiefdom outside the city entered the city one after another and gathered in his home!"
As a general, in charge of Silla's military affairs, any disturbance in the capital was naturally difficult to hide from Jin Yuxin's eyes.
What's more, Jin Chunqiu and his son may not have any intention of covering up...
Hearing this, Queen Seon Deok was a little stunned: "What does he want to do?"
If Jin Yuxin trusted each other's loyalty because of their mutual affection, Jin Chunqiu gained her trust and importance because of their blood relationship.
If Jin Chunqiu's father had not been deposed and downgraded from a holy bone to a real bone, I am afraid that the throne might not have fallen to her back then...
But precisely because of this, Jin Chunqiu's path to the throne is still completely cut off, and there is absolutely no possibility of ascending the throne as king. Otherwise, the entire Silla will definitely attack him in the face of his "rebellion" that overthrows the "bone system"!
The "bone system" is the foundation for the continued rule of the Silla aristocracy, and no one is allowed to destroy it in any form!
Whoever dares to destroy it is a public enemy!
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Jin Chunqiu to rebel. Even because he is a direct bloodline of the Jin family, he will never collude with the Park family, Xi family and other nobles to do such rebellious things. Even if he succeeds, it is difficult to do so.
Could it be that his status could be higher than it is now?
Jin Yuxin looked solemn and said doubtfully: "I don't know either, I just think it's unusual and a bit unreasonable."
Since it has been determined that Jin Chunqiu cannot rebel, then why did he summon dead soldiers to fight like a city?
You don’t mean to reward these lackeys under your opponent, do you?
It’s not the New Year yet…
For a moment, the monarch and his ministers looked at each other.
But there is no hint of ambiguity at all, only the doubts caused by Jin Chunqiu's unusual actions...
After a while, Queen Seon Deok's eyes suddenly lit up, and she patted the table with her bare hand, making a soft "bang" sound!
Then, Her Majesty the Queen gritted her teeth, her face flushed, and said angrily: "Jin Chunqiu deserves to die! You actually want to push me to the edge!"
Jin Yuxin rarely saw Queen Seondeok's angry expression. When he was slightly stunned, he asked blankly: "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"
He also knew Jin Chunqiu's status and identity, so he never believed that Jin Chunqiu would rebel.
Queen Seondeok did not explain, but said quickly: "General, quickly lead the troops to the residence of Shangda and other Pu Yuyan. No matter what, we can't let anything happen to him!"
When Jin Yuxin heard this, his expression suddenly changed!
He said sternly: "Is Jin Chunqiu crazy? If he attacks Pu Yuyan, he may drag the country into war. The Park family and the Xi family have been dissatisfied with the Jin family for a long time. He is... alas! I will take my leave.
Let’s go to Pu Yuyan’s mansion now!”
After saying that, he stood up and left in a hurry.
As a general, why don't you understand Jin Chunqiu's intention at this moment?
This time Fang Jun was assassinated on Long Street. Although the person behind the assassination is not known yet, everyone in the Jin family knows that it must be someone from the Park family and the Xi family.
As for whether it's Park Yu-yeon or not...it doesn't matter at all!
As long as Jin Chunqiu believes that he is the mastermind behind the scenes, he is! If Jin Chunqiu leads the troops to capture him and bind him to Fang Jun, then Jin Yuxin can be sure that the Park family and the Xi family will not give up and immediately start an army to cause chaos.
It's possible!
The reason why Fang Jun was assassinated was that the Park family and the Xi family wanted to destroy the alliance between Silla and the Tang Dynasty, because once that happened, the status of the Jin family would be further consolidated. With such a powerful backer as the Tang Dynasty, it was foreseeable that as long as
The Tang Dynasty did not collapse, and the Jin family's throne was as stable as a mountain!
The desire to rebel must have been brewing in the hearts of these two tribes for a long time!
As long as Pu Yuyan, the eldest son of the Pu family, is dedicated to the Tang Dynasty, it will completely trigger the flames of resistance between the Pu family and the Xi family!
The entire Silla will fall into pieces in an instant!
