The Great Sui Post House is located in the south of Shangshanli in Xiuwenli, only one street away from Shangshanli, the people who used to live here were dignitaries, after being confiscated by Yang Tong, there are no more residents inside, in the re-planning, the whole is a place to receive foreign guests, and will not place the officials and people of the Great Sui!

Every mansion is a post house,

Friends can also pay for subscriptions, so that their favorite and habitual post houses become permanent residential areas, instead of being arranged to different places every time they come.

In the back garden of a post house, Jindeman and his cousin Jin Shengman are walking.

For this post house, the two sisters are quite satisfied, pavilions, rockeries and ponds are all available, beautiful, elegant and exquisite, even the Silla palace is not as good; Their royal city, named Jincheng, was built by the sea, not only small, but the houses on both sides of the road were also low and gloomy, and the smell of human and animal excrement wafted in the air. This is also understandable, Silla has been fighting wars all the year round, and it is so poor that it is tinkling, how can it have the money to build a large number of buildings?

Living in this inn, Jin Shengman doesn't want to go back, Silla is not as big as a county in Dasui, and in addition to this cousin who is good to herself, her parents and brothers are eager to marry her off so as to get more benefits. If she has a reason to stay in Dasui, she doesn't mind staying for a long time, and it would be better if she could obtain Dasui nationality.

If Kindman had known his cousin's true thoughts, he would have fainted. The reason why Silla has persisted for so long is that it is sympathetic to the people's livelihood and sharing weal and woe, and successive kings have been diligent and upright and love the people like sons, so that the royal family has won the support of the people at the bottom.

"Sister, do you think the Great Sui Emperor will promise us?" It's one thing to want to rely on it, but in fact, Jin Shengman is still quite concerned about the task of this trip.

"I'm not sure." Kindman frowned.

As Du Ruhui expected, there was indeed a problem within Silla!

In order to consolidate the privileged position of the ruling group of Silla, which consisted of three royal families and six nobles, the aristocratic group implemented a strict social hierarchy that determined political and social status based on blood ties, known as the bone system. The three surnames Park, Kim, and Se were the largest nobles in Silla's ruling group, and they not only inherited the throne, but also monopolized the entire bureaucracy and had supreme power. The three royal families of Pu, Xi and Jin have the highest status, called "holy bones", and the large and small nobles are divided into four grades: "true bones" (second bones), six-headed products, five-headed products, and four-headed products. The throne can only be inherited by the "Holy Bone".

The "bone system" is similar to the 'Nine Pins Chungsho System' in the Central Plains, which is the foundation for the continuation of the rule of the Silla aristocracy, and no one is allowed to destroy it in any form! Whoever dares to sabotage is everyone's public enemy!

It stands to reason that the Jin family has been inherited for hundreds of years, and there are many children, even if King Zhenping has no children, he can also choose people from the side of the Jin family, the problem is that the Jin royal family is in addition to the branch of King Zhenping, and the rest of the bones have been reduced from 'holy bones' to 'true bones' for various reasons, so the only ones who are eligible to inherit the throne of the Jin family are Jindeman and Jin Shengman of King Zhenping!

If King Jinpyeong allowed the other Jin disciples to ascend to the throne, then he would be attacked by all the nobles of Silla, just like Yang Guang, who destroyed the 'Nine Grades Zhongzheng System'.

The Jin royal family did not have Yang Guang's strength, so they could only follow the rules of the "bone product system". But Silla also has no precedent for a queen, so if Kindman wants to ascend to the throne, it is no less difficult than the 'real bones' clan to inherit the throne.

At present, it is the Park family, the founder of Silla and one of the three families of sacred bones, who are attacking the Kim family

The feud between the Park family and the Kim family has been deeply planted since the ancestors of the Kim family took the Silla throne from the Park family three hundred years ago. Although the Kim family has been showing the means of generosity and mercy to the Park family for 300 years, and the reward seal has never been broken, it still cannot make the descendants of the Park family feel relieved.

The Park family thought that the throne was supposed to be theirs, but now it was stolen by the Kim family, and Xiao Eun Xiaohui's reward was a humiliation to them. Therefore, although the two wealthy families of Silla have married each other, they seem to be harmonious on the surface, but in fact they are constantly filthy, and oppression and resistance, tenderness and rejection have never been broken. The Park family calculated that the Kim family would not dare to destroy the 'bone system', so on the grounds that women could not inherit the throne, they united with some nobles to attack the Kim family and forced King Jinpyeong to appoint the children of the Park family as the next king of Silla.

The Jin family is unwilling to lose power, but they are unable to deal with the pressing trend of the Park group, so they are ready to use the power of the Great Sui to deter the domestic nobles led by the Park family and the Xi family, once the Great Sui recognizes the father and daughter of King Zhenping, the position of the Jin family will be further consolidated, and there is a strong and domineering backer of the Great Sui, which can be foreseen as long as the Great Sui is not played to death by others, the throne of the Jin family will be as stable as a mountain!

But the Jin family can think of a way to use the strength to fight, and the Park family will not turn a blind eye to the powerful Great Sui, the advantage of the Jin family is that Jindeman and the Sui Emperor Yang Tong have had several faces, and the relationship with the Great Sui Ministry Shangshu is good, so Jindeman preemptively visited Yang Tong before the Park family.

"Sister, you are the only heir of Silla, if the Holy Lord does not recognize you, who else can he recognize?"

Jindeman took a deep breath and said worriedly: "What the Holy Lord wants is a Silla who is respectful to the Great Sui, and he doesn't care who the king of Silla is. The price we can pay can be paid by the Park family and the Xi family, and even more than us. Why do you say that the Holy One supports us, not the Park and the Xi family? Also, there has been no woman in the Central Plains since the beginning of the emperor, which also makes it difficult for me to get support. ”

Kim Seung-man blinked: "Even if the saint doesn't canonize my sister as the king of Silla, the people will support you." There are also young heroes such as Jin Yuxin, Bi Tan, and Yan Chuan, who will support their sister. ”

"I hope so!" Jindeman sighed in his heart, and talents such as Kim Yuxin, Bitan, and Kanchuan not only supported him, but also wanted to become his husband and then control Silla. It's not something she can accept.

In particular, Jin Yuxin disappointed her very much.

She and Jin Yuxin are childhood sweethearts who grew up together, and they once had a sincere relationship, but when they grew up, Jindeman found that Jin Yuxin's intelligence was no longer making achievements, but was keen on politics and became a politician through and through. This is a fact that she cannot accept, so she drifts away and eventually parting ways.

Feeling his sister's helplessness and hesitation, Jin Shengman was so distressed: "My sister is a heroine among women, how can she be frustrated?" Cheer up! ”

"Silla is so much in such a place, I am helpless, what kind of heroine am I? The martial concubine who accompanied the saint to dominate the world, and the Mingyue County Duke who destroyed a country with a single sword are the real heroines. Jindeman smiled, took her hand, sat on a chair in the pavilion, stroked her dark and soft hair, and said softly: "Don't talk nonsense in the future, if people listen to it, they don't have to faint from laughing." Also, when facing the saints, you must be respectful. ”

"It's not like I haven't seen it before." Jin Shengman pouted.

Jindeman shook his head and explained, "It used to be on the battlefield, everything was simple! Now in the imperial capital, it's different! If you do anything wrong, the Holy One will not say anything, but in his heart he will look down on us and think that Silla is a barbarian who does not know anything. Our sisters went to the Great Sui Empire, and our every move represented the whole of Silla, so treating others with courtesy is not respecting others, but respecting ourselves. ”

Jin Shengman nodded as if he didn't understand.

*****

The Jin sisters didn't wait long, and the next day, Yang Tong met them in the palace.

"Minister, Silla Jindeman carries the letter of state and greets the saint!"

"Your Highness is exempt from courtesy...... Yang Tong raised his hand slightly, and said with a smile: "Please sit down, two of you." ”

I haven't seen it in the past two years, Jindeman has not changed much, the crow crow's hair is braided like a bird spreading its wings, the hair is decorated with pearls, and the beauty adds a touch of nobility, the eyebrows are like distant mountains, the eyes are like spring water, the upturned nose is delicate and fair, and the cherry lips are lightly vermilion. If you really want to say change, it is more graceful and dignified.

It's just that Yang Tong also knows that this is a rather not simple woman, and anyone who underestimates this woman may be tricked at any time. Right now, she's calculating people.

In fact, Yang Tong has never recognized Silla and other countries as subject countries, because once recognized, the Great Sui will have to assume the obligations of the suzerain, flashy things, how can there be real interests important, and therefore, he has always been a friend with Silla and other countries

It stands to reason that Kindman should call herself an envoy of Silla or a foreign minister, but she directly called her 'minister', although it is just a simple title, but as long as she recognizes it, this woman will be on the stick, and his 'Your Highness' is obviously not the king's name for his courtiers.

"Thank you!" Jindeman and Jin Shengman glanced at each other, bowed a little helplessly, and sat down.

"Your Highnesses, Silla is at war with Goguryeo and Baekje, shouldn't you give advice in the country? Why did you come to Luoyang all the way to the ocean? Yang Tong asked with surprise, this was not his gesture, but he really didn't know the intentions of their sisters.

"Hui Shengshang," Yang Tong didn't even have the slightest extra politeness, and went straight to the knife directly, Rao is Jindeman was ready, and he was also caught off guard, hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "After Goguryeo let the Celestial Empire defeat it, its strength is not what it used to be...... And Baekje has always been the first rat at both ends, back and forth, and those routines. Although Silla was small, it was not afraid of these two countries. However, Silla was full of wars and the people were miserable, and the courtier's father was very unbearable, so he implored the saint to intercede for the sake of Silla obedience. ”

"The five principles of mutual respect for territorial sovereignty, mutual non-aggression, non-interference in each other's internal affairs, equality and reciprocity, and peaceful coexistence are the norms pursued by our Great Sui, and they are also the respect for friends; I'm afraid you can't even tell the reason for the grievances and grievances between your three countries! I am even more unclear, your three kingdoms are all friends of the Great Sui, and the history of grievances between you has nothing to do with us, and you have no right to interfere, this is a matter of principle; Secondly, my Great Sui is torn apart, and my situation is worse than that of Silla, and now I have launched a war to unify the world, and if I am not careful, I will lose everything, and I am too busy to take care of myself, so how can I have the energy to take care of you? It's not that I don't want to care, I really can't help it. ”

"This ......" Jindeman was a little speechless, Goguryeo, Khitan, Xi, Eastern Turks, Western Turks, and Gaochang around the Great Sui have all been cleaned up by you, don't talk about anything else, take Goguryeo as an example, you have killed countless people, seized countless people's property and land, and now you are actually talking about mutual non-aggression, non-interference in each other's internal affairs, equality and reciprocity, and peaceful coexistence. Also, if you don't have the energy, why are you setting fires everywhere around? In this world, the most unpeaceful is you, the domineering emperor.

Jindeman hesitated for a moment, and said in a tone that was thinking about Yang Tong: "Shengshang, I, Silla, have great respect for the Great Sui, if the Holy Lord sits back and watches the lives of Silla ruin, aren't you afraid of the cold hearts of those countries that respect the Great Sui as the main body?" ”

"Who dares to chill?" Yang Tong said lazily.

"Hmm......" Du Ru on the side snorted sullenly, his face turned red, the five principles of peaceful coexistence are especially lingering in the hall, you say so, this is too much, right......

Jindeman didn't know what to do, but on other people's territory, he had to ask for others, even if he was dissatisfied, but he could only pinch his nose and admit it, she forcibly endured the idea of dropping her sleeves and leaving, took a deep breath, and said respectfully: "Shengshang, Silla has been established for more than 700 years, and has always had no enmity or grudge with the Central Plains, and has never provoked the Great Sui. Silla has always regarded itself as a vassal, and the upper and lower levels are respectful to the Great Sui, and when Emperor Wu went on an expedition to Goguryeo, I Silla was invited to send troops, although there were not many soldiers, but they were also the strength of the country. After the war, Goguryeo did not dare to vent its anger on the Great Sui, so it began to vent its anger on my Silla, and the border people of Silla and Goguryeo suffered countless casualties, and sometimes Baekje would fall into the well and harm our country. Even the Wa kingdoms, which are across the sea, cross the sea from time to time to plunder! ”

Yang Tong laughed secretly in his heart, Silla didn't understand Emperor Wu's strategic ambitions, and when he saw that the Great Sui had put on such a big battle, he thought he could take advantage of Goguryeo, but he couldn't beat the fox and caused a commotion, which was completely self-inflicted; Of course, Yang Tong also knew that even if there was no such thing, the two countries would not coexist peacefully, but Jindeman's words were obviously deceiving, blaming the unfavorable situation of Silla on helping the Great Sui.

However, Yang Tong can't see through it, and he is the heir of the Great Sui, so he can't deny the fact that Emperor Wen canonized Jin Baijing, King Zhenping, but he also managed to deal with Jindeman, so he said: "What you said is also reasonable, but Goguryeo and Baekje were also canonized by Emperor Wen and Emperor Wu, and I can't favor Silla." In this way, you can just stay and be my imperial concubine, with this relationship, I help Silla to be justified and reasonable, what do you think? ”

Jindeman's delicate face was slightly stunned, and his ruddy lips opened gently, and it took a long time before he objected, and said: "The courtiers are vulgar, how dare you lightly endow the saint with the posture of a willow?" The Holy One is the king of all nations, and when he returns to China, his courtiers will order people to find the daughters of the royal family who are of good appearance to pay tribute to. ”

Jin Shengman blinked his beautiful eyes and looked at Yang Tong innocently, his eyes were full of sincerity, as if to say: I can, I am willing...... Why don't you want me?

Yang Tong shook his head and refused, he looked at Jindeman, his eyes were clear, and his tone was sincere: "I am not a person who likes fishing, there are less than ten imperial concubines in the palace, all of them are strange women in the world, and people who are more beautiful than them, Da Sui is not nothing, but I also regard it as dust; Her Royal Highness has an excellent temperament and is a woman I like...... No matter how beautiful other women are, I don't care or like them. Your Highness, is it a shame to be my imperial concubine? ”

Speaking of which, the tone is already clear......

As the emperor immediately, Yang Tong was furious, and there was really a majesty of Mount Tai, and the majestic momentum permeated the whole hall, majestic and fearful!

Suddenly feeling this terrifying momentum, the Jin sisters' faces changed color!

"The love of the saint is the blessing of a courtier, but how can the parents marry far away in Silla? Moreover, the courtiers are the only son of the father, how can they entrust Silla to others? ”

Kindman was completely panicked.

I just wanted to take advantage of the momentum of the Great Sui, but Yang Tong actually wanted to sleep with her.

Yang Tong smiled: "After talking for so long, this must be your true words!" You want to be the next king of Silla, but you are afraid of the opposition of Silla, so you want to use the momentum of the Great Sui to deter the opposition forces of Silla! Am I right? ”

Speaking of this, Yang Tong couldn't help but look at Du Ruhui, all this was just as he guessed, this beauty really wanted to be the queen. If it weren't for this, it would be really difficult for her to show her fox tail.

"Your ......, Holy"

Facing Yang Tong's deep eyes full of wisdom, Jindeman, who was enlightened in his heart, was ashamed and annoyed, and the secret was lured out in this way, and his already passive self was even more passive in the following conversation.

How can this be?

Will the emperor agree?

Kindman was apprehensive.
