Chapter 1860: A Difficult Choice
The Park and Kim families, as the highest-ranking nobles in Silla, have been married for generations, relying on allies to jointly govern the royal power of Silla. These two super nobles are in the same spirit, and the rest can only bow down and let them be driven, and they have no ability to resist at all.
But after a sweet hundred years, the two nobles finally parted ways due to various differences.
On the surface, they are still close allies, but secretly they have begun to plot their own plans, intending to attack each other through various means and seize the interests that the other party has.
As the founding lord of Silla, how could the Park family be willing to give up as they watched the royal power be plundered from their home by the Kim family?
The conspiracy and murderous methods in the secret have not stopped for a moment......
Surrounded by tigers and wolves, and with poisonous snakes still eating back at home, even if the current dangerous situation can be safely passed, how many years can the Kim family hold the power of Silla?
Decade?
Twenty years?
Or a hundred years?
He didn't think that Goguryeo and Baekje would be able to resist the overwhelming attacks of the Tang Dynasty's heavenly soldiers by land and water, and once Goguryeo and Baekje were destroyed, how could the Tang Dynasty tolerate that only Silla was in a corner of the Nuo Dynasty's territory.
It's as disgusting as marrying a bride and coming home with a baby......
Jin Chunqiu has seen through the whole situation, either the Tang Dynasty's Eastern Crusade fails, Goguryeo and Baijin come to their senses, and they will inevitably pour out their anger on Silla, or Goguryeo and Baekje will fall, and Silla will become a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh of the Tang Dynasty.
Even if the two countries are allies!
Will Silla be able to resist the combined forces of Goguryeo and Baekje, or will it be able to resist the invincible forces of the Tang Dynasty?
Neither.
So in either case, the end of Silla has become inevitable - the country is ruined.
At that time, as the royal family of Silla, the fate of the Kim family is also clearly visible, and it will definitely collapse under the suppression of foreign enemies and the Park family, and even the death of the clan may be ......
How can this desperate situation be saved?
It seems that the best way to welcome the children of the Tang royal family to become the lord of Silla is the best way.
As long as a certain prince of the Tang Dynasty became the lord of Silla, even if Silla completely became a vassal country of the Tang Dynasty, a real family, Jin Chunqiu never thought that Goguryeo and Baekje would be able to protect themselves under the full force of the Tang Dynasty, and at that time, as a vassal of the Tang Dynasty, Silla would be saved from war, and the Jin family could also be kept safe by virtue of their dedication to the country.
The Tang Dynasty took Silla for long-term peace and stability, and the Kim family, which was deeply rooted in Silla as a new ally, would inevitably be relied on.
Moreover, there is Fang Jun's guarantee......
But in this way, wouldn't it be necessary to destroy the 700-year-old state of Silla?
Since the Kim clan took the throne of Silla from the Park clan 300 years ago, they have inherited the Silla from a village tribe to the country of Nodae today.
I am afraid that the person who proposed to welcome the Tang royal family will become the sinner of Silla......
But if it is not completely attached to the Tang Dynasty, the future of Silla is even more worrying, and the end of the Jin family is close at hand.
The trade-offs are hard to decide......
Jin Chunqiu sighed sadly and asked Jin Famin: "In your opinion, what should I do?" ”
After asking, I was a little annoyed.
What's there to ask about this?
I saw that he had just been excited by the quota of a Chongwen Pavilion student, and he knew the child's tendencies......
Sure enough, Jin Famin said: "At present, the strong and prosperous trend of the Tang Dynasty has swept the world, whether it is Silla, Baekje, or even Goguryeo, vainly trying to block the expansion of the Tang Dynasty is just a mantis arm as a car, and whoever stands in front of the Tang Dynasty 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, not only because of the bravery of the soldiers, but also because of their ever-changing ordnance and equipment. The iron lump as big as a melon, after lighting the seal and throwing it, is enough to open the mountain and crack the stone, how can the human body be able to resist it? And the guns on the ship...... Father probably thinks that our Jincheng City has thick walls, right? With just one shot of such artillery, even the thickest walls will crack and collapse! Ships travel on the sea, thousands of miles in a day, how many heavy weapons can not be transported? Therefore, Goguryeo and Baekje will be defeated! ”
"Once Goguryeo and Baekje are defeated, the Tang army will drive straight in, and it will be easy to restore the rule of the four Han counties, and then Silla will be in a corner of peace, and it will become a disease of ringworm in the eyes of the Tang people.
"At that time, how will the Jin clan deal with themselves?"
The father and son had almost the same point of view, and after Kim Famin finished speaking, both of them fell silent for a while.
Needle drops can be heard in the hall.
After a while, Jin Chunqiu let out a long breath and sighed: "But even so, how can my father mention this matter to Your Majesty?" His Majesty is a woman at any time, but he is smart and resolute, and he trusts his father even more, and now let his father go to persuade His Majesty to be in the Tang Dynasty and judge the country...... I can't open my mouth for my father. ”
As the closest ancestor to the "Holy Bone" bloodline, Queen Seondeok has always believed in Jin Chunqiu and has doubled her use.
Since we talk about "sacred bones", we have to mention the strange "bone system" introduced by the Silla aristocracy in order to consolidate their privileged position.
The ruling group of Silla was composed of three royal families and six nobles, and the three surnames of Park, Kim, and Se were the largest nobles in the ruling group of Silla, who not only had the hereditary throne, but also monopolized the entire bureaucratic system 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 levels: "true bones", six-headed products, five-headed products, and four-headed products.
Only the "Holy Bone" nobles can inherit the throne.
The aristocracy determines the hierarchical status and corresponding official rank according to the bloodline, and different bones are not allowed to marry. The bone inheritance remains unchanged.
It stands to reason that Kim Chunqiu is a close branch of the Kim royal family, but why did the Silla throne pass to Queen Seondeok instead of him?
This is because Kim Chunqiu is the son of Jin Longshu and Princess Cheonmyeong, Jin Longshu is the son of King Jinzhi, and King Jinzhi is the king who was deposed, and Silla law stipulates that after the holy bone is abolished, it will be reduced to a true bone, and the bone product is hereditary, so Jin Chunqiu was supposed to be a holy bone, but he became a real bone and lost the qualification to inherit the throne, and in the same way, his son Kim Famin is not good......
It is precisely because of this that Jin Chunqiu's single-minded assistant to Queen Seondeok has never coveted the throne.
Jin Famin pondered for a while, and said in a low voice: "In the opinion of a child, there is no need to mention this matter to Your Majesty, Your Majesty is smart, how can you not see this situation clearly?" As long as his father handed over the real mastermind behind the scenes to Fang Jun, it would inevitably cause turmoil in the DPRK and China, and His Majesty would be under pressure, even if he was unwilling, he would have to allow the Tang people to intervene, and he would know how to make trade-offs. ”
Jin Chunqiu was silent.
The real mastermind behind the scenes, he already knows who it is.
It was the Park family, the founder of Silla and one of the three major families of sacred bones!
Although the Silla throne has been held by the Kim family for 300 years, the Park family has been working tirelessly, dreaming every day of being able to regain the throne that has been lost for hundreds of years from the Kim family!
In addition, due to the high position of the Jin family, the Park family and the Xi family have become closer and closer over the years, although the two holy bone families have been silent for many years, but their strength is still all over the court. Once Jin Chunqiu hands over the mastermind behind the scenes, it will inevitably cause a strong backlash from these two families, and if he is not careful, the entire Silla will fall into turmoil, and even the flames of war will ignite!
Compared with the turmoil of the whole country, Jin Chunqiu felt more embarrassed because this move was equivalent to putting Queen Seondeok on the fire and grilling......
For a diligent and conscientious queen, there is nothing more sad than seeing the whole country fall into turmoil and despair, and still want to give up the throne to win the support of the Tang Dynasty to quell the civil strife.
Thinking of Her Majesty's trust in her over the years, Jin Chunqiu thought for a long time before he said slowly: "Let my father think again......"
*****
Here, Jin Chunqiu's father and son are struggling with considerations for the interests of the Jin royal family and themselves, and Fang Jun over there has already sealed the letter with fire paint and handed it over to the two scouts.
"You hold this secret letter, take the official general charm, take the warship back to Huating Town, and then go north to Chang'an along the post station, do not stop on the way, be sure to present the Taiji Palace as quickly as possible, if there is any mistake, the military law will deal with it!"
The two scouts were stunned in their hearts, and hurriedly straightened their bodies and promised loudly: "I understand that I will never dare to delay the military affairs!" ”
"Good!"
Fang Jun patted the shoulders of the two of them, and Wen Yan encouraged: "This trip to Chang'an, thousands of mountains and rivers, and the hardships are also well known. It's just that the military affairs are urgent, and as a soldier, you should go out of all difficulties and move forward bravely! After the secret letter arrives in Chang'an, there is no need to rush back to Silla, and after returning to Huating Town, you will stay at the naval division's station, and when you go to sea with the army at the beginning of the spring crusade next year, at that time, this official will allow you two to be a lieutenant! ”
In this era, the risk of long-distance travel is too great, and the death of a guest in a foreign land occurs frequently, even if it is a military communication, such a fast journey across thousands of mountains and rivers, all kinds of accidents can easily kill a person.
Appropriate rewards are a must.
The two scouts were immediately overjoyed, and excitedly performed a military salute and said: "Master Hou rest assured, even if you are dead, you must climb to Chang'an and die in Chang'an!" ”
