Chapter 1859 Difficult Choices
The Park family and the Kim family, as the highest-ranking nobles in Silla, have been married for generations and rely on them as allies to jointly control the Silla kingship.These two super nobles were in the same breath, and the rest could only bow their heads and let them be driven, without the slightest ability to resist.
But after spending a hundred years sweetly, the two nobles finally parted ways due to various differences.
On the surface, they are still close allies, but secretly they start planning each other, intending to use various means to attack each other and seize the benefits that the other party has.
As the founding lord of Silla, the Park family watched the royal power being plundered from their own house by the Kim family, how could they be willing to let it go?
The conspiracy and cruel methods behind the scenes have never stopped for a moment...
Surrounded by tigers and wolves, and there are poisonous snakes biting back at home, even if the current dangerous situation can be overcome safely, how many years can the Jin family be in charge of the Silla kingdom?
ten years?
20 years?
Or 100 years?
He didn't think that Goguryeo and Baekje could withstand the overwhelming attack of the Tang Dynasty's heavenly soldiers, land and water. Once Goguryeo and Baekje were destroyed, how could the Tang Dynasty tolerate the fact that only Silla lived in a corner of the Nuoda territory and lingered?
This is as disgusting as marrying a bride and returning home to find that there is a baby with her...
Jin Chunqiu has already seen through the whole situation. Either the Great Tang’s Eastern Expedition failed, and Goguryeo and Baekjin were relieved, and they would inevitably pour their anger on Silla, or Goguryeo and Baekje were destroyed, and Silla became a thorn in the side of Datang. A 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 soldiers of the Tang Dynasty?
both are not.
So no matter what the situation is, Silla's ending has become inevitable-the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed.
At that time, as the royal family of Silla, the fate of the Jin family will be clearly visible. They will definitely be devastated under the suppression of foreign enemies and the Park family, and may even die...
How to save this hopeless situation?
It seems that welcoming the descendants of the Tang royal family to become the Lord of Silla is the best way.
As long as a certain prince of Datang becomes the lord of Silla, Silla will be regarded as a complete vassal state of Datang, a real family. Jin Chunqiu never thought that Goguryeo and Baekje could be under the full blow of Datang If it is well-preserved, then as a vassal of the Tang Dynasty, Silla will be spared from the flames of war, and the Kim family can also be well-preserved by virtue of their contribution to the country.
Datang took Silla for the sake of long-term peace and stability. As new allies, the Jin family, which is deeply rooted in Silla, will inevitably be relied on.
Besides, there is Fang Jun's guarantee...
Just in this way, wouldn't it be necessary to ruin Silla's 700-year Guozuo?
Since the Kim family seized the throne of Silla from the Park family 300 years ago, it has continued to inherit it. It has developed Silla from a village tribe to today's Nuoda country. Who can bear the heart, and who can be willing to cut off the inheritance?
I am afraid that the person who proposes to welcome the Tang royal family will become a sinner of Silla...
But if it is not completely attached to Datang, the future of Silla will be even more worrying, and the end of the Jin family is already in sight.
The choice between them is really hard to decide...
Jin Chunqiu sighed sadly, and asked Jin Famin, "In your opinion, what should be done?"
After asking, I was a little annoyed.
What's the question?
Seeing the excited look on the face of a Chongwenguan student just now, he knew the child's tendency...
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 stop the expansion of the Tang Dynasty is nothing more than a mantis' arm. Whoever stands in the way of the Tang Dynasty In front of them, they will be torn to pieces."
After a pause, looking at his father, he said in a deep voice: "Father, the strength of the Tang army is far beyond your expectations. It is not only the bravery of the soldiers, but also their ever-changing military equipment. They are as big as melons. How can the human body be able to resist? And the artillery on the ship... Father probably thinks that our Jincheng City has a thick wall? Then the artillery only needs one shot, and then the The thick city walls will also collapse and collapse! Ships are sailing on the sea, thousands of miles a day, how many supplies and weapons cannot be transported? Therefore, Goguryeo and Baekje will be defeated!"
"Once Goguryeo and Baekje are defeated and the Tang army marches straight in, it will be easy to restore the rule of the four counties of the Han Dynasty. At that time, Silla will be in a corner, and it will become a disease of ringworm in the eyes of the Tang people. No matter how uncomfortable it looks, sooner or later they will attack Silla! "
"At that time, how will the Jin family deal with themselves?"
The views of father and son were almost the same. After Jin Famin finished speaking, both of them fell silent for a moment.
Needle drop could be heard 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 matter to His Majesty? Your Majesty is always a girl, but she is smart and courageous, and she trusts her father even more. Now Let Weifu go and persuade His Majesty to be in the Tang Dynasty, and to depose the country...for the father, don't open your mouth."
As the closest blood relative to the "Holy Bone", Queen Seon Deok has always believed in Jin Chunqiu and used it more than ever.
Now that we talk about "sacred bones", we have to mention the wonderful "bone product system" introduced by the Silla nobles in order to consolidate their privileged status.
The ruling group of Silla Kingdom is composed of three royal families and six aristocrats. The three surnames of Park, Kim, and Xi are the largest nobles in the ruling group of Silla. They can not only inherit the throne, but also monopolize the entire bureaucratic system and have supreme power.The three royal families of Pu, Xi, and Jin have the highest status and are called "sacred bones".
Only the nobles of the "sacred bones" can inherit the throne.
Aristocrats determine their status and corresponding official ranks according to their bloodlines, and marriages of different bone types are not acceptable.The inheritance of bone products remains unchanged.
It stands to reason that Jin Chunqiu is a close descendant of the Jin royal family, but why did the Silla throne pass to Queen Seondeok instead of him?
This is because Jin Chunqiu is the son of Jin Yongshu and Princess Tianming. Jin Yongshu is the son of King Zhenzhi, and King Zhenzhi is the deposed king. Silla law stipulates that after the relic is deposed, the sacred bone will be reduced to real bone. Hereditary remains unchanged, so Jin Chunqiu should have been a sacred bone, but he became a real bone, and lost the qualification to inherit the throne. Similarly, his son Jin Famin can't do it either...
It is precisely because of this that Jin Chunqiu assisted Queen Seonde wholeheartedly, and never coveted the throne.
Jin Famin pondered for a while, and said in a low voice: "From my child's point of view, there is no need to mention this matter to Your Majesty. Your Majesty is smart, how can you fail to see the situation clearly? As long as father hand over the real mastermind behind the scenes to Fang Jun, it will inevitably cause court trouble. In the middle of the turmoil, His Majesty is under pressure, even if he is unwilling, he has to allow the people of Tang to intervene, and he will know how to choose."
Jin Chunqiu remained silent.
The real mastermind behind the scenes, he already knew who it was.
That is the founder of Silla, the Park family, one of the three holy bone families!
Even though the Silla throne has been held by the Kim family for 300 years, the Park family has been tirelessly managing it, dreaming every day to regain the throne that has been lost for hundreds of years from the Kim family!
In addition, due to the supremacy of the Jin family, the Pu family and the Xi family have been getting closer and closer these years. Although the two holy bone families have been silent for many years, their strength still spread throughout the court.Once Jin Chunqiu hands over the mastermind behind the scenes, it will inevitably cause a strong rebound from the two big families. If there is a little carelessness, the entire Silla will fall into turmoil, and even the flames of war will ignite!
Compared with the whole country falling into turmoil, what Jin Chunqiu felt more embarrassed was that this move was tantamount to setting Queen Seondeok on fire...
For a conscientious queen who loves the people and works hard, there is nothing more sad than seeing the whole country in turmoil and despair, and she has to abdicate the throne to win the support of Datang to quell the civil strife.
Thinking of how much Her Majesty the Queen has placed in him over the years, Jin Chunqiu pondered for a long time before slowly saying: "Let me think about it again..."
*****
Here Jin Chunqiu and his son are tangled in consideration for the interests of the Jin family and themselves, while Fang Jun has already sealed the letter with wax and handed it over to two scouts.
"You guys hold this secret letter, take the official amulet, return to Huating Town by warship, and then follow the station all the way north to Chang'an. You must not stop on the way, and you must submit it to Taiji Palace as quickly as possible. If there is any mistake, the military law Deal with it!"
The two scouts trembled in their hearts, quickly stood upright, and promised loudly: "I understand you humblely, and I will never dare to delay the important affairs of the military!"
"very good!"
Fang Jun patted the two of them on the shoulders, and encouraged them gently: "Going to Chang'an, there are thousands of mountains and rivers, and I am well aware of the hardships. It's just a military emergency. As soldiers, you should overcome all difficulties. Go forward bravely! After the secret letter arrives in Chang'an, there is no need to return to Silla in a hurry. After returning to Huating Town, you will stay at the naval garrison. When the Eastern Expedition begins next spring, you will go to sea with the army. At that time, I will allow you two to be a captain. job!"
In this day and age, the risk of traveling long distances is too great, and the death of a guest in a foreign land happens frequently. Even if it is a communication between the military and such a fast journey all the way across thousands of mountains and rivers, various accidents can easily kill a person.
Appropriate rewards are a must.
The two scouts were overjoyed immediately, and excitedly performed the military salute and said, "Don't worry, my lord, even if the humble man dies, he will climb to Chang'an and die in Chang'an!"
