At some unknown time, a fire broke out somewhere in Park's mansion, and the flames shot into the sky, making the entire mansion even more chaotic and chaotic, with cries and noises like hell.
Queen Seon Deok is sitting on the chariot, holding the handle on one side with one hand. The veins on the back of her delicate white hands are bulging due to the exertion. Her stunningly beautiful jade face is also ashen, and her silver teeth are almost broken when she bites them.
Her beautiful eyes glared at Jin Chunqiu fiercely, and she said condescendingly: "Raising troops at night to bring trouble to Pu Mansion, what do you want to do?"
On both sides of her chariot, Jin Yuxin and Chang Chuan looked at the Pu Mansion, which was in flames, and then at Jin Chunqiu, who had a calm expression, with tangled and hesitant expressions.
Jin Chunqiu looked indifferent. He stood in front of the Queen's chariot and bowed to pay homage: "Your Majesty acted arbitrarily without permission and betrayed His Majesty's trust. His crime deserves death. But please bear in mind that I did not do this for personal gain."
, allowing my subordinates to bind the Park family’s thieves in front of the Tang people in order to appease the anger of the Tang people, use the new Luo law, and then commit suicide to apologize..."
After taking this step, he was determined to die.
The demands of the Tang people must be met, otherwise the future of the Jin family will be murky and unpredictable, and it is very likely to disappear. The queen's benevolence and righteousness must be preserved, otherwise the Jin family will break their trust with the entire country and be charged with "betraying allies to please the Tang people".
In fact, it is not much better than the extinction of the entire clan...
Only he can do this, and he must bear the blame.
For the future of the Jin family, he is not afraid of life and death, let alone his reputation after death!
Before coming here, he had already made the worst plan, asking his beloved son Jin Famin to kowtow goodbye in front of the ancestral tablet and go to the Tang army camp to seek refuge.
He is willing to die to give the Jin family a hope of survival and reproduction on this land, instead of fighting with the family and eventually being annihilated by the Goguryeo-Baekje coalition or the Tang Dynasty army.
Death……
The blazing torches lit up this long street.
Everyone's face was filled with uncertainty, because everyone understood Jin Chunqiu's good intentions!
Uncontrollably, everyone felt admiration and admiration in their hearts!
The people of Silla have always been petty and cowardly, but also selfish and greedy. They have only seen thieves who betray their customers and seek glory, and traitors who betray their trust. Throughout the ages, have we ever seen a few people sacrifice their lives so generously and sacrifice their lives with such awe-inspiring righteousness?
I'm afraid that the ancient Han Confucians who "succumbed to death" recorded in books are no more than this!
Queen Seondeok stared at Jin Chunqiu, and the anger on her pretty face gradually faded, and finally turned into a long sigh.
"You may have sacrificed your life for righteousness, and your family has been worshiped as a god for generations, but where did you put me?"
At the moment, it is true that Jin Chunqiu is willing to die in order to keep the family prosperous, but ten years from now, or a hundred years from now, some people may attribute Jin Chunqiu's sacrifice today to the cowardice and cowardice of Queen Seondeok, otherwise the survival of the entire family will be at stake.
At that time, why push out a clan member to take on all this?
Jin Chunqiu's expression changed, and he immediately bowed to the ground and said loudly: "Your Majesty is the mainstay of the Jin family. The Jin family can have no ministers, but how can it be without your majesty? It is easy for a minister to die, but your majesty still has to protect the whole clan, that is the best thing for a thousand people."
It is extremely difficult! Today, I have sacrificed my life to seek the honor of a hundred generations. I have put Your Majesty in this difficult situation. I really deserve to die!"
The expression on Queen Seon Deok's face changed. After a long while, she breathed out a breath of turbid air, looked around, and asked, "What do you think?"
Langchuan was the most impulsive. At this moment, he had already been infected by Jin Chunqiu's heroic actions. He felt admiration in his heart. He just felt that this is what a man should be. He stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty's loyalty and courage have moved the world. I hope your majesty will forgive me."
Sin! The final general is willing to tie up the Pu family and go to the Tang Dynasty to ask for their forgiveness and conclude an alliance!"
Queen Seondeok nodded slightly and looked at Jin Yuxin again.
Jin Yuxin's handsome face was gloomy and solemn, and he slowly said: "The crisis of the Jin family has been doomed since the day when Goguryeo rose. In addition, Baekje is greedy and works as an evildoer. If we cannot rise up, we will be destroyed by it sooner or later.
The whole country could not escape the massacre. Even if the Tang Dynasty was completely victorious in the Eastern Expedition and defeated Goguryeo and Baekje in one fell swoop, how could Silla be allowed to stay in peace for a while? The Han people have a saying, 'How can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch'..."
It was only half a sentence, but the meaning was already very clear.
Queen Seondeok fell silent once again.
Silla was surrounded by Goguryeo and Baekje, so it was naturally at a disadvantage. It was difficult to rise up against the oppression of the two countries, and the probability of annihilation was very high. Even if it formed an alliance with the Tang Dynasty, after Goguryeo and Baekje were defeated,
How could the Tang people, who had always been domineering, not have Silla's ideas?
Instead of doing this, it is better to completely choose a company now and join them. You will get more preferential treatment than surrendering when you are desperate.
The hardest part is who to turn to.
Both Goguryeo and Baekje are extremely ambitious. Over the years, they have fought against each other and have already accumulated a lot of blood. Even if the royal family of the Kim family now wants to join them, the common people in the country will be agitated and there will be many opponents.
Tang Dynasty is a good choice. The people of Tang Dynasty have always been very tolerant towards others and claim to be a land of etiquette. They would not embarrass the Jin royal family. However, the Tang people had previously proposed that Silla welcome the descendants of Tang Dynasty royal family. Now it depends on Fang Jun’s attitude.
Obviously also inclined towards this...
This decision is really difficult to make.
The light of the torch reflected in Queen Seondeok's bright eyes. She thought for a long time, took a deep breath, and said decisively: "The matter has reached this point and is irreversible. Since it is for the future of the Jin family, how can Jin Chunqiu be responsible for it alone?"
All? Get up and quickly tie Pu Yuyan in front of Fang Jun and see how Fang Jun handles it."
Then he said to Jin Yuxin: "Immediately seal the four gates and try not to let this news leak out, and then mobilize a large army to defend the capital to prevent Park from taking risks and tampering!"
"yes!"
Jin Yuxin accepted the order and quickly strode away.
His loyalty to Queen Seon Deok is unmatched by anyone in the world!
As long as Queen Seon-deok makes a decision and splits the fog in front of her, even if he, Kim Yu-shin, is shattered to pieces, there will be no hesitation at all!
Jin Chunqiu burst into tears, prostrated himself from the ground, and choked with sobs: "Your Majesty, I can just let you bear all this infamy. Why is it like this? Why is it like this..."
Queen Seon Deok's eyes were full of authority and her pretty face was evil. She scolded: "Now that we have made a decision, why are you acting like a mother-in-law? Go to Fang Jun's place quickly and make sure to obtain the promise of the alliance between the two countries. Tell them that as long as the Park is eliminated,
I will immediately ascend the throne and welcome the Tang prince to become the Lord of Silla!"
"yes!"
Jin Chunqiu ignored his emotions and quickly got up from the ground.
Pu Yuyan was captured by him and everyone in the house was killed. It was impossible to hide this. The Pu family would get the news tomorrow morning at the latest. By then, they would be furious. Knowing that the Jin family had completely turned against him, the Pu family would lead troops to plot rebellion.
It's almost inevitable.
If it's just the Park family, I'm afraid that when the Xi family and the six major tribes are involved, the Jin family will definitely be unable to resist!
It is necessary to obtain the Tang Dynasty's promise to allow Fang Jun to send troops to quell the rebellion, in order to save the lives of the Jin family.
And this kind of crisis situation was exactly his original intention - not only to force Queen Seon Deok to make a decision, but also to give Datang a vote of confidence.
I have captured for you allies who have been married for generations. See how sincere you are?
*****
The city was blazing with flames, which had already attracted the attention of the Tang army.
Although I don't know what happened, the sleeping soldiers were called out, put on their armor and ran out of the tent, with their swords unsheathed and their bows strung, and they were ready for battle.
Fang Jun also got up, put on his armor, and stood at the door of the camp, looking at the firelight illuminating half of the night sky, frowning in thought.
Not long after, a noble prince in mink fur, escorted by several servants, hurriedly came to the Tang army's formation. He was stopped by the guarding soldiers, and then he was interrogated and brought to Fang Jun.
Fang Jun took a look and saw that it was actually Jin Famin...
This outstanding descendant of the Jin family was bursting with tears at this moment and choked with sobs: "My father sacrificed his life to protect the covenant between the two countries. I hope that the Marquis will keep his promise and preserve my Jin family!"
Fang Jun was taken aback, and after questioning him carefully, he found out what happened.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, Jin Chunqiu is indeed a character!
only……
He cupped his fists at Jin Famin and said with an apologetic look: "Brother Jin, please don't blame me. The Jin family has not yet reached its end, so I still need to endure it..."
Jin Famin was grieving that her father wanted to die, but she could only watch helplessly. When she heard Fang Jun's words, she was stunned.
What does it mean to endure it...?
What to endure?
Fang Jun said in a deep voice: "But don't worry, brother Jin, I will never break my promise! Come, wait for Mr. Jin to go down and rest."
Jin Famin said hurriedly: "I'm not tired..."
However, several soldiers came forward and dragged him away without explanation.
Fang Jun straightened his back and looked at the fire in the distance with bright eyes.
The Jin family is the king of Silla. It has been operating in this land for hundreds of years and is deeply rooted. Even if it surrenders to the Tang Dynasty, its rooted power cannot be underestimated. In the future, the Tang Dynasty will definitely have many difficulties in governing the land of Silla.
, there is no telling which day the Kim family will be able to make a comeback!
Only by letting him and Park fight each other, cut off his own wings, shed blood, polish off his spirit, and reduce his power to almost the same extent, can he boldly take it back for his own use...
