Chapter 1127: Queen
Seoul.
Xu Shiji arrived in Seoul from Pyongyang.
"Jin Baijing said he wanted the land south of the Han River?" In the Taishou Mansion of Obifang County in Seoul, Xu Shiji narrowed his eyes and asked in a cold voice.
"Under the festival, Kim Baijing specified the land south of the North Han River."
There is a big difference between the Han River and the North Han River, the Han River is a large river that flows through Seoul and the fourth largest river on the peninsula after the Yalu River, Baesu, and Nakdong River.
"Did you hear it right, he did ask for the North Han River, not the South Han River?" Xu Shiji asked again.
"How dare my subordinate not be clear about this kind of issue, naturally he asked clearly, he really wants the land south of the North Han River."
Xu Shiji shook his head, "It's really a big breath." ”
The Han River has two upstream sources, the South Han River originates from Mount Taebaeksan and the North Han River originates from Mount Kumgang, the North and South Han Rivers are extremely far apart, but they merge near Seoul and finally flow west into the sea.
During the Three Kingdoms period of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla, for hundreds of years, the three countries fought for the Han River Plain, because the rivers here were an important trade route to the Central Plains, and the middle and lower reaches of the Han River also had the extremely fertile Han River Plain and the Pyeongtaek Plain.
The peninsula is a mountainous place, with many mountains and hills and few plains.
Therefore, in order to compete for the Han River Plain, I don't know how many wars broke out between the three countries, and the Han River Plain also changed hands repeatedly.
Until Goguryeo was destroyed by the Central Plains, he was still using troops against Silla, and successfully captured more than 100 cities of Silla and recaptured the Han River Plain.
The Han River Plain is mainly south of the North Han River, in the middle and lower reaches of the South Han River.
Originally, after Qin destroyed Goguryeo, it completely occupied Goguryeo's hometown, and the boundary line was naturally based on the actual boundary line before the fall of Goguryeo.
It is also actually occupied.
Silla had always hoped that the Great Qin Imperial Court would return to them the Han River Plain that had been captured by Silla before the fall of Goguryeo, but how could it be possible to spit out the meat that had already been swallowed in the stomach of Great Qin.
Therefore, the imperial court has always ignored the requests of the Silla people.
To this day, the previous boundaries are still maintained.
The border with the Baekje people is bounded by the watershed of the Cheling Mountains.
The border with Silla is also bounded by the Cheling Mountains, and the easternmost is bounded by the Odae Mountains of the Taebaek Mountains.
Such a division actually completely divided the Pyeongtaek Plain, which Baekje once owned, and the Hangang Plain, which Silla once owned, into the hands of Daqin.
Whether it is the North Han River or the South Han River, the two rivers of Jiangbei and Jiangnan are all in the hands of the Qin army, and even the place where they originated is in the hands of the Qin army.
Now the situation on the peninsula has changed dramatically, Baekje has rebelled against Qin, and the imperial court has ordered Silla to send troops to help quell the chaos.
Daqin was asked to take the Han River in the north as the boundary and give all the land south of the Yangtze River to Silla.
This is not a little bit of land, if it is divided according to this, then half of Daqin's belt county will be gone, and it will not even border Baekje in the future.
"This gold and white pure seems to have been in power for decades?"
"He has been in office for forty-four years."
"No wonder, kings who have been in power for a long time are always prone to fainting, even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fainted in his later years, let alone the king of Silla. I remember this gold and white without heirs? ”
"Well, Jin Baijing is the twenty-sixth monarch of Silla, the grandson of King Jinheung, the son of the crown prince Tonglun, and the nephew of King Jinji. And because the king of true wisdom had no heirs, he made him king. Jin Baijing reigned for forty-four years, but he has never had children, and only two daughters under his knees, the eldest daughter Princess Deman, and the second daughter Princess Shanhua. ”
Xu Shiji shook his head, he heard that the Silla Kingdom had a peculiar bone system, which divided the people into holy bones and true bones, as well as six-headed products, five-headed products, and four-headed products.
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" (first bones), and the large and small nobles are divided into four grades, such as "true bones" (or second bones), six-headed products, five-headed products, and four-headed products. "Holy Bones" nobles can inherit the throne. All the bones are self-enclosed and do not intermarry with each other.
As for the civilians, it is three to one.
However, the power of the six nobles inevitably increased, and in order to expand or ensure the existing power, the nobles of the same class would marry each other and achieve the goal of political alliance by means of intermarriage.
The bloodline of the children born to the Holy Bone Male and the Holy Bone Female is of the first bone rank, which is the royal family. All bone products are self-enclosed and do not intermarry with each other, and bone and non-bone products do not intermarry. "The bones do not marry each other", and many large families have implemented this hierarchy.
In order to maintain its royal power, the Silla royal family practiced special blood marriages, that is, blood marriages, such as uncles marrying nieces, nephews marrying aunts, and even cousins marrying cousins.
Central Plains Huaxia has long known that intermarriage between close relatives is easy to give birth to deformed and diseased offspring, so at most, it is cousin marriage, and it is impossible for blood relatives to marry.
But the Silla people have been doing this for the sake of bone products, and the result is that they often give birth to deformed children, and the Silla kingdom has been passed down to the present, and many of the kings have no heirs for more than 20 generations, and finally they are handed over to their brothers or nephews to succeed to the throne.
"You said that this gold and whiteness, reigning for forty-four years, can't even give birth to a son, what kind of face does he have to talk to the court about the Hanjiang Plain?"
"Besides, this Baekje king Buyeo Chang is known as the Tiger King, and after the previous queen died of illness, Silla mediated a truce with Baekje, and Kim Baekje also deliberately gave his second daughter Princess Seonhwa and his pro-Baekje to the Tiger King as the queen of the continuation string. Now that Baekje is in rebellion, Buyeo Chang has been killed, and Princess Seonhwa has also fallen into the hands of the rebels, Kim Baek-jeong doesn't want to send troops to save his daughter, and is still bargaining with the court here, wanting to ask for benefits? ”
"This Jin Baijing is indeed old and faint, but looking at him, it seems that he will have no problem living for another ten years." The subordinate officer said.
"In that case, it's going to be troublesome." Xu Shiji sighed, "But no matter what, we can't agree to King Silla's request to cede the south of the North Han River, why doesn't he just ask us to give him all the Obibang counties?" ”
"But this golden white old man fainted, and said that if we don't give a reward south of the North Han River to Silla, he will not send troops."
Xu Shiji was speechless, he was really crazy.
"This kind of stupid person, dare to blackmail the court at this time, it seems that he is really dizzy, the saint has always been soft and not hard, he is so coerced, I am afraid that he will be burned."
"Under the festival, there are rumors that if the imperial court does not agree to Silla's request and does not cede the south of the North Han River to Silla, then Silla will not only send troops to help our army quell the rebellion, but even ally with Baekje, and they will remarry Princess Seonhwa to Buyeo-long, the anti-king of Baekje."
"Fuyu Long, that's the grandson of Fuyu Zhang, let the grandson marry his grandmother? How could Silla and Baekje do such a thing? Xu Shiji was a little confused.
"Under the festival, the rebels killed Buyeo Zhang, and his grandson Buyeo Long still came out to be the new Baekje king, and I didn't see him rather die than give in, now let him marry his grandmother, I guess he will not refuse, I heard that Princess Shanhua is just a little older than Buyeo Long."
Xu Shiji scolded his mother when he heard it, what a mess, but thinking about the fact that the Silla people have a tradition of blood marriage, it is really possible.
"Damn, if the king of Silla really plays this hand with us, he will really be passive."
"You say, if the king of Silla suddenly dies now, then he has no heir, who can succeed him?"
"Princess Deman, she is the eldest daughter of Jin Baijing, and she has a good reputation in Silla."
"Did Silla ever have a queen?"
"Twenty-six generations of kings of Silla, from King Park to King Kim, twenty-six kings, have never had a queen."
"That's it, since there was no queen before, how can we guarantee that this princess de man can become a queen? Does the princess have a colt? ”
"The princess is unmarried."
Xu Shiji frowned, thinking about it.
"You come and help me to staff and see if it is feasible!"
