Chapter 1413: Jin Cairen
"Prince."
Crown Prince Gavin sat there, listening to the deliberations of these monarchs and ministers and was about to doze off, for a while Persia and Rome, and it was Emperor Kuslao II and Emperor Heraclius, he really couldn't understand.
"Father."
"You say that the fall of Persia is imminent, why did I decide to form an alliance with Persia? In an alliance with Persia, why not directly support the Persian emperor but his prince? ”
Gavin stood there, a little dazed.
"I don't know."
"Sit down, you don't know, you still have self-knowledge, but since you don't know, you have to learn, I let you stay here, not to let you doze off, but to let you learn. You're also in your teens, and you'll have to learn to take on some of the burdens. ”
"Erchen is wrong."
Luo Cheng shook his head slightly, "Although the decline of Persia is imminent, but the emaciated horse is also bigger than the camel, as the so-called hundred-legged insect dies without borders, and the beast will fight the trapped beast when it is trapped, and the beast at this time is the most ferocious." We don't need to mess with a dying empire. ”
Wei Zheng also nodded, "Although Persia has a very wide border with me, but now his opponent is Rome, and he has to face the resistance of many newly occupied lands in the south, so he has no power or dare to invade my Great Qin's territory to the east and north. Moreover, he also needs to maintain our trade relations, and he needs our silk, tea, porcelain, and other goods to maintain the financial situation of Persia that is now collapsing, not to mention, they also want to obtain a large number of sophisticated armor and weapons from Great Qin, and they want to obtain advanced warships, they need us. ”
"Jiawen, the rotten ship also has three catties of nails, Persia has a population of 20 million, and its territory is not smaller than my Great Qin, so we can also make a fortune to see that his demise is imminent. The Persian emperor sent the prince Kakula this time, we can get close to this prince, the Persians want weapons and armor, sell to them, want ships, sell to them, want silk, porcelain, tea, paper, sell to them. ”
"But didn't my father say that Persia is now in a state of exhaustion, and its finances are collapsing, and what are they going to pay?"
"Gold, silver, spices, slaves, even land, you can do it." Luo Cheng said with a smile, a big empire with more than 5 million square kilometers of land and a population of 20 million, is he afraid that he will not be able to pay the bill?
"Of course, before we make a deal with the prince, we should also formally sign a treaty to clarify the boundary between Great Qin and Persia, and let Persia recognize Great Qin's ownership of Great Xia and Hezhong."
Bactria is also Tocharo, the post-Afghan region, and Hezhong is the area in the middle of the river, which is the southern area of the Beiting Road set up by the current imperial court.
The western border of Daqin should be rowed to the east coast of the Caspian Sea.
"Persia now occupies all of Egypt, controlling not only the Persian Gulf but also the Red Sea, so Persia controls important trade routes, and we maintain friendly relations with Persia and are able to keep our trade unhindered. Taking advantage of his war, selling him weapons will naturally make a lot of money, and at this time we propose to sign a border agreement with him, even if the Persians have some ideas about Tocharian and the Transoxiana region, they can only sign it. As soon as this word is signed, in black and white, then we will have a legal principle in the future, and no matter who inherits Persia in the future, we will not be able to get around. ”
Although it is said that in the end, it is necessary to rely on fists to speak, but with such an agreement, many controversies can be avoided.
"Old Dao, about the agreement with Persia, I will leave it to you to negotiate with the Persian prince, you will bring the prince with you, and when the matter is negotiated, let the prince and the Persian prince sign first, and then wait for me to sign with the Persian emperor before exchanging the agreement."
Wei Zheng knew that the emperor never forgot to mention the crown prince, but he also responded very happily.
"Sage, King of Silla Kim Baek-jeong asks to see you."
Luo Cheng stretched his waist, Wei Zheng and the others had just left, and the king of Silla was waiting again.
"Xuan."
The gray-haired Jin Baijing came in with a young, tall, and beautiful woman, followed by a young man.
"Jin Baijing, a vassal minister, greets my emperor, long live!"
Jin Baijing is old, but when he came to Daqin, before meeting the Son of Heaven, he had already been taught how to salute by the eunuchs of the palace province.
Seeing the Great Qin Heavenly Son, he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and hurriedly bowed down.
Luo Cheng is generally reluctant to let the courtiers kneel and worship, even if it is a court meeting and a palace meeting, they all kneel and sit. But now he sat behind the imperial case and did not move, letting Jin Baijing kneel and worship.
"Jin Aiqing, flat."
Princess Jin Shengman also bowed to the emperor.
"Aiqing is thousands of miles away, crossing the sea to come to the court, it's hard." Luo Cheng walked out of the imperial case, holding Jin Baijing's hand and smiled.
"No hard work, no hard work."
Jin Baijing didn't dare to say that it was hard work, he came to Daqin, saw the prosperity and strength of Daqin with his own eyes, and saw the kings or princes of many countries that he had never heard of.
"I have already asked someone to inform Jin Zhaoyuan, she will be there in a while, Aiqing and the others haven't met Zhao Huiyuan yet."
"Before meeting the saint, I didn't dare.
After a few small talks, Kindman arrived.
Jin Baijing found that she didn't know her daughter anymore, she was wearing Zhaoyuan's concubine palace skirt, dignified and atmospheric, her makeup and clothes had been changed, and she was more atmospheric and graceful.
"Sister, is she pregnant?" However, Shengman's eyes were sharp, and he saw that Princess Deman's stomach was slightly bulging.
"It's been five months." Deman caressed his stomach with a happy expression, the princess who once cared only about the country of Silla was now as happy as an ordinary woman.
Shengman didn't expect his sister to change so much.
"Originally, I didn't want Zhaoyuan to come, for fear that she wouldn't be able to bear it, but she insisted on coming, so I had to let her come by boat all the way, but fortunately she didn't suffer anything. I know that you have arrived, and I remember it every day. ”
"Thank you for your care." Jin Baijing said, and then said to Deman, "Zhaoyuan, this time Xiao Wang brought Princess Shengman to send her into the palace. ”
Kindman nodded, she had already known about this, and she didn't think too much about it. Just like when she entered the palace, it was a last resort, but fortunately, Qin Tianzi was young and polite, and he was still gentle, so he treated her very well.
Silla was only a small vassal state, and it was impossible to refuse Daqin's request.
"My sister is here, and it just so happens that my sister will have more companions in the future." Deman took Seungman's hand, and the two had a good relationship when they were in Silla.
Katsuman smiled a little reluctantly.
Since she entered the palace, she has secretly looked at the emperor many times, the emperor is unexpectedly young and tall and handsome, and there is an indescribable charming temperament when he laughs, but when she thinks that this person is going to become her husband, there is always an unreal feeling.
"I canonize Princess Shengman as a talented person, one of the twenty-seventh concubines, the fourth grade, under the nine concubines."
Shengman smiled reluctantly, "Thank you, Sage!" ”
Luo Cheng beckoned Jin Chunqiu over again and patted him on the shoulder, "The long ones are also beautiful, but you are young and thin, I will canonize you as the prince of Silla, don't go back to Silla for the time being, stay in Daqin first, accompany the prince to study in Chongwen Hall, and also serve as the prince's bodyguard." After a few years of hard training, I will accompany your aunt more, and when the experience is complete, I will return to Silla to inherit the throne. ”
Jin Chunqiu knelt down and thanked him.
"Thank you, little minister."
"Get up, I'll let you pick you up to the East Palace when you go back, and I'll accompany the prince in the future."
