Chapter 968: Tang Envoy Killed
Gyeongju, the capital of Silla Kingdom, post house.
The day after Jia Zhang came here, Cui Bubu took people to the post house.
"But can you see your king?"
Although he knew that the power of the king of Silla had been hollowed out, he was still the king of Silla, and all diplomatic matters were only effective if he told him.
"Tang envoy, our king of Silla also wants to see you, but our king is infected with a disease, which can be easily transmitted, so there is no choice but to grieve the Tang envoy."
Hearing that Cui Xianzhi couldn't see people, Jia Zhang's brows suddenly condensed, he didn't believe that Cui Xianzhi would get an infectious disease.
Among them, it is clear that someone is making a hindrance, and this person who is a hindrance is only afraid that it is Tian Yigen, the powerful minister of Silla State.
If he hadn't stopped him, wouldn't the Silla Congress go when all the nations came to court?
Now, they want to stop him from seeing Cui Xianzhi.
Perhaps, others are afraid of Tian Yigen, but he, an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, is not afraid at all.
Jia Zhang's face became more and more ugly.
"Hmph, ridiculous, my envoy from the Tang Dynasty came, but he didn't let me see your king, what do you mean, don't you look down on my Tang Dynasty?"
is domineering, and now Jia Zhang is very angry, and he doesn't give face at all.
Cui Bu's cheeks twitched slightly, seeing the appearance of the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, he hated to chop Jia Zhang now.
However, thinking of the Tang Dynasty behind Jia Zhang, and Tian Yigen's great cause, he could only endure it, and said: "There, it is really my king's serious illness, and I am afraid of infecting the Tang envoy, but although I can't see you, my king has already ordered my Silla Kingdom to send someone to your Tang Dynasty to ask your Tang Dynasty for guilt, after all, all countries are coming to the court, and we can't go because of some things, so we must hope that your Tang Dynasty will forgive your sins." ”
Cui Bu's attitude was very good, Jia Zhang originally wanted to lose his temper, but when he heard this, he was overjoyed.
The purpose of his trip was to make Silla admit his mistake to the Tang Dynasty, and then let them get the Tang Dynasty back face.
Now that the Silla Kingdom is willing to admit the wrong tribute, whether this is the meaning of Cui Xianzhi or the meaning of Tian Yigeng, their goal of the Tang Dynasty has finally been achieved.
As for the internal strife in Silla, it was their own business, and Jia Zhang didn't want to care about it.
Soon, Jia Zhang's expression was a lot more relaxed, and his attitude was much better.
"Since your Silla Kingdom is willing to pay tribute, it doesn't matter if you see your King or not......"
Jia Zhang and Cui Bufu discussed the matter of the envoy and the tribute, and after this discussion, Jia Zhang decided to leave Gyeongju City tomorrow and send the news back to Chang'an, while Cui Bubu was here, so he prepared to send the envoy.
Anyway, since Datang wants this face, then they just give Datang this face.
After Cui didn't see it back, he told Tian Yigen about the situation, Tian Yigen nodded, but bit his lip: "This shame, let's endure it first, and when I ascend the throne, I will definitely make Datang look good." ”
The Tang Dynasty sent envoys to ask for the guilt, not only did they not dare to speak up, but they also had to smile with a good face, which was a shame in Tian Yigen's opinion.
So no matter what, he will make Datang pay the price in the future.
-------------------
Just when Cui didn't see the matter of preparing to send an envoy, Jin Jiang's side had already gotten the news.
"My lord, the Tang envoy stayed in the post house, and there was really no way to contact him."
"By the way, today Cui Bubu went to see the Tang envoy Jia Zhang, and they have reached an agreement, my Silla State will send an envoy to the Tang Dynasty and pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty."
The spy said, and Jin Jiang's expression suddenly changed when he heard the news.
"What do you say, Silla is going to pay tribute?"
Jin Jiang's eyebrows were staring, he had already faintly sensed what was going on, it must be that Tian Yigen didn't want to conflict with Datang yet, so he wanted to use this method to delay time and give Datang face.
In this case, even if his people come into contact with the Tang envoys, the Tang envoys will not agree to send troops to help, right?
After all, what Datang wants is face, Tian Yi gave them face, and Datang's goal was achieved, and there was no need to send troops to come.
Jin Jiang walked back and forth in the room, and he felt more and more that things were a little difficult to do, a little out of his control.
They may be missing this opportunity again.
If Cui didn't see the envoy, their people would have no way to contact Datang, and they wouldn't be able to persuade Datang's people to help.
"It seems that we can only use that last resort."
In late spring and early summer, the weather in Gyeongju is already a little hot.
Jia Zhang was a little uncomfortable with the weather here, so this morning, he prepared to return to Beijing with the mission.
When he left the post house, Cui Bubu came to see him off, if he didn't see him off, it would make Datang very faceless, since they were going to make a show, then they would do a full set.
"Lord Jia took the first step, and after I prepared a tribute, I also set off for Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, and then I said a few more kind words to Lord Jia in front of the Son of Heaven in the Tang Dynasty, so as not to be scolded after I went."
Jia Zhang laughed: "The scolding must be to scold you, but don't worry, since you are willing to confess, my Datang is not a stingy person." ”
Jia Zhang still looked high, Cui didn't see the unhappiness in his heart, and said with a smile: "In this way, it couldn't be better." ”
As he was talking, suddenly there was a sound of breaking the sky all around, Cui Bu's expression moved slightly, and then he saw several sharp arrows flying, and the sharp arrows were very fast, which caught people off guard.
"It's not good, there are assassins ......" Cui Bu shouted loudly, but when he reacted, several sharp arrows had already flown in, and the targets of these sharp arrows were Jia Zhang, who was talking to Cui Bu just now.
"Ah......h
A miserable scream sounded, and Jia Zhang, who had just spoken to Cui Bu, was directly shot by a sharp arrow, and then his whole face began to turn black.
"Yes...... Poisonous. ”
The sharp arrow is poisonous, since it is necessary to kill the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, it is natural to use the fastest and least unexpected method.
A person may not necessarily die after being hit by an arrow, but if he is poisoned, it is difficult to say.
Things happen very quickly, so to speak, in an instant.
By the time Cui Bu looked at Jia Zhang, Jia Zhang had already fallen to the ground and died.
"Damn, come on, catch the assassins......"
Datang's envoy died, and Cui Bufu quickly realized the seriousness of the situation, this time, they failed to give Datang face, but scratched Datang's face, and they didn't have a chance to recover.
There was a panic in front of the post house, a group of guards scattered in all directions, arresting the assassins, and on a willow tree in the distance, there was a sudden sound of cicadas, as if the things here had nothing to do with it.
