This summer's rain has been abundant, causing the lake water in the garden to surge and the lotus flowers to thrive. Whenever the wind blows across the pond, the green lotus leaves rise and fall like waves, rippling with the waves. The air is cool and fragrant, exquisite and beautiful.
The small pavilion in the pond has a winding path leading to the shore, hidden among the lush lotus leaves, surrounded by pink and white piles, and the wind blows from all directions.
Kinderman wore a green skirt with a color similar to that of lotus leaves. Her posture was slender and graceful. Her dark hair was tied up with a white jade hairpin, revealing a slender white neck. Her eyebrows were picturesque and lotus leaves were
The skirt is cut in one color, with hibiscus slits on both sides of the face.
The dignified and awe-inspiring queen's temperament in the past has gradually disappeared. Now she is sitting alone in the pavilion drinking tea, looking gentle and graceful like a lady. Her appearance complementing the lotus flowers makes people completely forget her age...
Deep in the lotus leaves, there was the sound of footsteps, and the water birds near the pavilion suddenly frightened and fell into the water, causing ripples.
After a moment, a handsome young man in a brocade robe came quickly and stopped five steps outside the pavilion. He bowed to the ground and said respectfully: "I have an audience with your Majesty."
Kinderman slowly took a sip of tea, raised his bright eyes, and spoke with a clear, cold voice that touched the heart: "If a man who has subjugated his country is living thousands of miles away, how can he be called your Majesty? Let's meet him as a family member."
The young man was Jin Famin, a member of the Silla royal family. Hearing the words, he paused for a moment, hesitated a little, and then said: "My nephew has met my aunt."
His mother, Mrs. Tianming, and Kinderman have the same father and mother, and are close relatives to each other. Therefore, when the Silla Golden City fell and the royal family was in trouble, Kinderman once fell in love with Jin Famin's father, her brother-in-law Jin Chunqiu.
He inherited the throne, but Jin Chunqiu eventually died tragically, and Silla was completely integrated into the Tang Dynasty. The inheritance of the Silla throne was thus cut off.
Kinderman said softly: "No need to be polite, come and sit."
"Here."
Jin Famin walked into the pavilion and knelt down opposite Kinderman.
Kinderman's two spring-like jade fingers on his left hand grasped the sleeve of his right hand, revealing a bright wrist that can bully the frost and snow. He filled the tea cup in front of Jin Famin with a pot, and then tapped his fingers on the tea tray.
Indicated to Jin Famin to drink tea.
Jin Famin held her chest and bowed her head, thanked her solemnly, then picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The tea went into her throat, and it was hot and sweet. The breeze was blowing around her, and the lotus leaves were rippling. People were more delicate than flowers, and the flowers reflected their beautiful faces. For a moment, she couldn't tell where they were.
It is the fragrance of flowers, where is the fragrance of tea, and where is the fragrance of people.
The peripheral vision passed by the pair of snow-white and delicate jade hands, and I felt my heart skip a beat. I quickly lowered my eyes, not daring to look at them again.
Kinderman caught her nephew's expression in her eyes, but didn't care about it. She knew very well how tempting her body was, and few men could resist it.
Youyou asked: "Why did you come here today?"
Jin Famin pondered for a moment, thinking about the current relationship between Her Majesty the Queen and Fang Jun, and simply said bluntly: "I was ordered to lead 'Hwarang' to sneak into Chang'an, and now it has been properly placed by the Duke of Yue. I think it will be of great use. In view of the current situation
The situation in the Tang Dynasty is tense, and the emperor and the prince are fighting to the death. This may be a rare opportunity for our Silla..."
The words are not finished, but the meaning has been clearly stated.
After all, as a Silla royal family, his father Kim Chun-chu is qualified to inherit the throne when Queen Seon-deok has no heir. Once Kim Chun-chu becomes the king of Silla, then as Kim Chun-chu's eldest son, he will naturally become the new king.
Luo Chujun.
Now that Silla has merged with the Tang Dynasty and become an overseas vassal, the noble and respected Jin family has been torn apart and displaced. Suddenly faced with a good opportunity to restore the country, how can we remain indifferent?
Even a dog does not wag its tail and beg for mercy, but occasionally barks a few times to get a bone for itself...
Kinderman didn't seem to be interested in this. His eyes passed over Jin Famin and focused on a graceful lotus in the pond outside the pavilion. He looked at the pink and white petals and said slowly: "How are you doing?"
Jin Famin was a little excited, swallowed, leaned forward slightly, and whispered: "Maybe we can contact Jin Wang Li Zhi and assassinate the Tang Emperor in exchange for his support for the restoration of Silla. Then my aunt can return to Jincheng and lead the Jin family.
The royal family regains the glory of its ancestors!"
Now, three thousand "Hwarangs" under his command are hidden in a secret place by Fang Jun, waiting for the important moment to decide the outcome of the current battle for imperial power in one fell swoop.
As long as the timing is right, he can indeed use Fang Jun's trust to make earth-shattering moves.
Kinderman then retracted his gaze, looked at the nephew in front of him, and asked slowly: "Since he is using you, how can he be unprepared for you? Not to mention whether you can succeed, even if he suddenly hits you,
He was caught off guard, but trying to escape unscathed afterwards was simply delusional."
"I'm not afraid!"
Jin Famin became more and more excited, and his fair and handsome face turned red. He knelt at Kinderman's feet, and his voice was trembling: "Why should you be afraid of me whether I live or die? When Jincheng fell, Your Majesty had to endure humiliation and commit himself to being a thief.
The Jin family was disbanded overnight, so I made up my mind to die. As long as I can restore my country, I will not be afraid even if I am cut into pieces by a thousand swords!"
For a nobleman who once had a chance to inherit the throne, the humiliation of becoming a slave of the subjugated country with nothing overnight is difficult to bear, especially when seeing the person he loves the most having to become a Tang Dynasty slave in order to save the last trace of the Jin family's blood.
The plaything of the rich and powerful, the resentment and hatred are so heart-breaking that they gnaw at the bones.
Now, he has gained Fang Jun's trust by enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens. He has the opportunity to deal a fatal blow to the Emperor of Tang Dynasty and give the Jin family a chance to be reborn. How can he be stingy with this?
Tai Shigong of the Han Dynasty once said, "Everyone is destined to die. It may be heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather. The use of it varies."
Jin Famin, who was familiar with Han history, boasted that he had a profound understanding of righteousness and was extremely determined to die.
But before that, he had to come and obtain Kinderman's permission so that he could make full use of this opportunity to obtain more benefits for the Jin royal family after his death.
Kinderman quietly looked at her nephew lying at her feet, her eyes wavering slightly. Such a last outstanding descendant of the Jin family was about to make up his mind to die and was willing to die to complete the revenge and revival of Silla. How could she
Are you really indifferent?
After a while, she sighed softly and said in a sweet voice: "Your so-called restoration of the glory of the ancestors of the Jin family is inevitably a bit self-righteous. The Jin family did once rule Silla, but where is the glory? With the Huanghuang Han family
Compared with the previous dynasty, we are just a group of barbarians who enslave the people like livestock. We have never had a splendid civilization or a strong country... Even if we regain our country, we will only be a vassal of the Han people. We will have to face suppression by the Han people.
We still have to endure the persecution of the Baekje, Goguryeo, and Japanese people... Let Silla disappear from the history books, and we will integrate into the Tang Dynasty together. Why not be Han Chinese from generation to generation?"
As a child of the royal family, Kim Fa-min cares about her own power and honor; but as the Queen of Silla, Kinderman sees the sadness and misery of a small country struggling to survive in the cracks. The people of Silla have resisted generation after generation.
During the invasion and massacre of Baekje and Goguryeo, countless people died tragically on the battlefield and died of famine. If things go on like this, they will eventually be exterminated.
Originally, the Tang Dynasty's eastward expedition against Goguryeo was an opportunity for Silla. As long as it relied on the Tang Dynasty and joined forces with the most powerful country in the world to destroy Goguryeo and Baekje, then Silla would most likely become the master of the peninsula.
In the future, when the Tang Dynasty weakens, Silla can take its place and unify the peninsula.
But Fang Jun's navy strangled Silla's neck and completely killed all the plans of the Silla people.
Now that the matter has come to this, no amount of ambition can buy the hope of returning to the country. It can only completely bury the last bloodline of the Jin family under the butcher knife of the Tang people...
At some point, Jin Famin burst into tears. He raised his head, cried and looked at the woman in front of him who he respected and loved and was willing to give up his life. He cried out sadly: "Has your majesty surrendered to the despotic power of the Tang people and is willing to do anything?"
Have you become a toy that people have insulted, and have you forgotten the blood of the Jin family in your body?"
Jin Shengman remained silent.
Not getting the answer she wanted, Jin Famin wiped away her tears, knelt on the ground respectfully, kowtowed three times, stood up and left without saying a word.
The sound of footsteps gradually disappeared on the winding path behind him, and the breeze rustled the lotus leaves. Kinderman's eyes were glazed over, and he suddenly stretched out his hand from the railing, cut off a graceful lotus, and plucked it off.
The pink and white petals were piled up in layers, and were broken off one by one by delicate hands, and fell into the clear pond one by one.
Koi fish swim from the bottom of the leaves, looking for food.
After working hard, I got nothing.
*****
Outside Hangu Pass, the rising autumn wind blows through the mountains, dyeing the forests. Teams of wild geese fly past from north to south, leaving a chirp in the air from time to time.
Tens of thousands of people camped in the valley road and spread along the valley. There were tents in each tent and the sound of people shouting and horses neighing could be heard endlessly.
In the Chinese army tent, Zheng Rentai looked at Liu Rengui who was leisurely and leisurely, and became even more suspicious in his heart.
Fighting steadily all the way, it has been two days since we arrived at Hangu Pass. The army has been reorganized, the battle plan has been sent to the army commander, and the ordnance and equipment have been arranged, but the battle that should have come long ago has not been started...
News from Guanzhong continued to spread. Yuchi Gong marched straight in and defeated Donggong six times in a row. He had arrived east of Baqiao. Although the Bashui defense line seemed impregnable, no one knew whether the garrison in Guanzhong behind Chang'an would trigger a chain reaction. In such situations,
Next, Liu Rengui should quickly capture Hangu Pass and advance straight to Tongguan, completely locking the King of Jin and his men in Tongguan, so that they dare not enter Guanzhong with all their strength to counterattack Chang'an. However, Liu Rengui seems to be dismissive of this. Every day, the old god
Zai Zai was planning the strategy of attacking Hangu Pass, but he did not understand the principle of "soldiers are more valuable and speed is faster".
Seeing Liu Rengui sketching on the map again today, Zheng Rentai finally couldn't help it and said: "I guess the general has already been in contact with Hangu Pass? Although I am stupid, I also know that Qiu Xinggong must have a secret relationship with the general.
The plan is not to look like a painstaking plan to attack Hangu Pass, and quickly let Qiu Xinggong be placed at the city gate to welcome us into the city."
He was very dissatisfied. Even though he was defeated miserably in the Battle of Banzhu, and was forced to change his court to obey the navy's command, if you and Qiu Xinggong kept a close eye on each other but refused to fight, if you couldn't tell it anymore, how could you
Isn't it the same as the blind man?
I have fought more battles than you have played with women. You are clearly insulting my IQ...
