Chapter 967: Cui Xianzhi's Calculation
"Xiangye, if you want to deal with this matter, it's easy to do."
Hearing Cui Bufu say that this matter was easy to do, Tian Yi was even more curious and asked, "What should I do?" ”
"Xiangye, what Datang wants is nothing more than face, then we just give him face."
"You mean to ask the Tang Dynasty for guilt, tribute?"
Cui Bu nodded: "Yes, it is to ask Datang for guilt and pay tribute, but for the matter of sending Datang to Datang, just go down, and don't let others go, so as to avoid the king's request for help from Datang." ”
Cui didn't see that he wanted to ask for guilt, pay tribute, Tian Yigen frowned slightly after hearing this, Datang is indeed very powerful, and even the Turks have been destroyed, but he really doesn't want to bow down to Datang.
This is also that he has not yet become a king, if he becomes a king, he will have to compete with Datang.
The territory of their Silla country is indeed not large, but the number of troops is quite large, and it is not a problem to get hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses.
However, although it is not very reluctant, but now this situation can only be like this.
"Okay, this matter will be done according to what you say, without going through Cui Xianzhi, I can also make you an envoy." Now Tian Yigen has controlled many things in the Silla Kingdom, and he can do this without going through Cui Xianzhi.
However, after he said this, he remembered something, so he ordered: "The matter of the envoys of the Tang Dynasty coming to Beijing must be blocked for me, and Cui Xianzhi must not let Cui Xianzhi know, if he knows, he will definitely find a way to join forces with the Tang Dynasty." ”
"Xiangye rest assured, after learning the news that the envoys of the Tang Dynasty are coming, his subordinates have blocked the news, and it is impossible for Cui Xianzhi to know."
"Hmm!"
The two of them said this, and at the same time, in the palace of the king of Silla, a palace man hurriedly came to Cui Xianzhi's bedroom.
Cui Xianzhi was about twenty years old, not long after he ascended the throne, and his foundation was unstable, and it was precisely because of his unstable foundation that Tian Yigen took the opportunity to seize control of the Silla Kingdom.
However, despite this, Cui Xianzhi did not give up, he has been looking for an opportunity, hoping to take back everything that once belonged to him.
And his status as a king can bring him a lot of convenience, which is the only thing he can use at the moment.
Although he is a puppet, his heart is not.
"Holy Lord, there is news."
As the palace man spoke, Cui Xianzhi glanced at the palace man and asked, "What news?" ”
"The slave maid got accurate news, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty came to our Gyeongju, but Xiangye didn't want to be known by you, so he blocked the news."
Hearing that the envoys of the Tang Dynasty had come to Beijing, Cui Xianzhi's eyes moved slightly.
In today's Silla Kingdom, Tian Yigen has too much real power in his control, and it is really difficult for him to defeat Tian Yigen through his domestic power and strength.
So the only hope is to get in touch with Datang and use Datang's forces to help him regain everything he once had, or everything that should have belonged to him.
The coming of the Tang Dynasty was an opportunity for him, he originally wanted to grasp it, but unfortunately it was cut off by Tian Yigen.
Now, the envoys of the Tang Dynasty are here, and this is another opportunity for him.
If you can tell the envoys of the Tang Dynasty about your situation and ask him to send troops to help, wouldn't your goal be achieved?
After thinking about it like this for a while, Cui Xianzhi immediately ordered: "Go and call Jin Jiang to me." ”
Jin Jiang is a close confidant of Cui Xianzhi, and he can be regarded as one of the few people he can use now, and this Jin Jiang still has a little soldier in his hand.
This is what he values Jinjiang.
After Cui Xianzhi ordered to go down, the palace people immediately retreated, and after a while, Jin Jiang rushed over.
Jin Jiang is in his thirties, with a long tiger's back and a bear's waist, but he is also a very stable and extremely shrewd person.
He is not Cui Xianzhi's cronies, but he knows very well that now if he wants to get ahead, he can only rely on Cui Xianzhi, if Cui Xianzhi can take power again, he will definitely be able to get some honor.
This is much more than what he wants to get by taking refuge in Tian Yi now.
He was gambling, and he bet his chips on Cui Xianzhi.
"Your Majesty, at this time, I don't know what to do?"
Cui Xianzhi glanced at Jin Jiang and said, "Aiqing, do you know about the envoys sent by the Tang Dynasty to my Silla Kingdom?" ”
"The envoys of the Tang Dynasty are here?" Jin Jiang's expression moved slightly, he really didn't know about this, and when he learned this, he was even more shocked that Cui Xianzhi actually knew the news.
This made Jin Jiang quickly realize that the king of Silla in front of him was a little smarter than he imagined, at least he still had a lot of things that he didn't know.
He was faintly shocked, and then said, "This minister really doesn't know. ”
Cui Xianzhi said: "This is our opportunity, if Datang is willing to send troops to help us solve Tian Yichang, I can be in power, at that time, I will definitely reward you." ”
Cui Xianzhi is very good at controlling people, he knows how to use all his resources to make some people work for him, he knows what Jin Jiang wants, so he gives Jin Jiang something.
After Cui Xianzhi said this, Jin Jiang immediately responded: "What His Majesty said is extremely true, but I don't know how Your Majesty wants to seize this opportunity?" ”
"I want Aiqing to find a way to get in touch with the envoys of the Tang Dynasty and tell the envoys of the Tang Dynasty about our situation, if the Tang Dynasty is willing to send troops to help, our Silla Kingdom is willing to bow down to the Tang Dynasty and pay tribute every year."
Speaking of this, Cui Xianzhi added: "If things are difficult to handle, or if you can't contact the Tang Dynasty envoys, then use thunderbolt means to kill the Tang Dynasty envoys." ”
When he heard that he bowed down to Datang and paid tribute every year, Jin Jiang didn't feel anything, after all, the so-called subservient ministers were just a name, they were independent from Datang, and what they gave was just the face of Datang, and there was not much loss to them.
However, when he heard that he was going to kill the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, Jin Jiang's expression moved slightly.
Generally speaking, whether it is a war or something else, it is not to be killed, but Cui Xianzhi asked him to find a way to go out of the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, which is a bit incredible.
"Your Majesty, kill the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, this ...... I'm afraid it's not appropriate. ”
Jin Jiang was shocked, but Cui Xianzhi said coldly: "If the envoy of the Tang Dynasty is killed, do you think the Tang Dynasty can still sit idly by?" They will definitely send troops to attack our Silla Kingdom at that time, and when the Tang Dynasty attacks, who will deal with the Tang Dynasty, and who else can there be besides Tian Yi? ”
Speaking of this, Cui Xianzhi sighed: "I don't want to do this either, but this is our only chance, and we must not miss it again, otherwise we will never have a chance to turn over." ”
