Chapter 291: Queen Deman
Kindman and Kim Seung-man converse here, deliberately in Silla because they think it is impossible for anyone here to understand Silla. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoEspecially in this kind of market, it is impossible for anyone to understand the Silla language, so they can be so relieved. It's a pity that they just didn't expect them to be so unlucky, and they actually know Korean when they are here. This Korean language is the version of Silla that has evolved for more than 1,000 years, and although I dare not say that it is exactly the same, the general meaning is still clear. In this way, Jindeman and Jin Shengman's faces were dark, and what they discussed just now was actually listened to. In particular, these things are state secrets, and it is not good for people to listen to them casually.
However, they also seem to be unable to question others to eavesdrop, Shi Bufan is here to listen openly, they trust their own judgment too much, and think that no one in the Tang Dynasty will understand their Silla language. But I didn't expect anyone to really understand, which made them so depressed!
"Kindman, oh no, I should be called Queen, should I? Heir of Silla, Kindman? In addition, this extremely tall person should be your cousin, Miss Jin Shengman, right? Shi Bufan asked.
Shi Bufan happened to know the grievances and hatreds between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo, and during the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty chose the means of long-distance friendship and close attack to deal with Goguryeo. By making friends with Silla, he attacked and destroyed Baekje, and finally flanked Goguryeo with Silla and completely destroyed Goguryeo. This is not so much a military victory as a diplomatic victory. Because although the offensive effect of Silla was relatively poor, and the results were not as high as the Tang army, it held back a large number of Goguryeo troops. This is also a great credit, and it is actually a credit to be able to strategically contain the enemy and put Goguryeo in a dangerous state of two-front warfare.
This is because the emperors of the Sui and Tang dynasties suffered several times in Goguryeo, and only then did they understand the truth of "distant friendship and close attack". It just so happened that Silla also needed the help of the Tang Dynasty to fight against Baekje and Goguryeo together, so that the two sides could be said to hit it off, and they both had requirements for each other, but there was a great basis for cooperation.
And the one who has established the cooperative relationship with Datang is the current Queen of Kinderman, the future Queen of Kinderman Silla. The other is Kim Seung-man, who is the heir to Kindman's death and her cousin. According to the records of later generations of Korea, Jin Shengman is seven feet tall, about two meters, and the woman who can have such a tall height in this era is the more famous Wei Qi Wei Guifei, and the other is Jin Shengman. And these two are wearing Silla clothes, who is not Kim Seung-man?
"I really don't know, as the female **** of Silla, the future Queen of Silla, how can you be interested in coming to my Tang Dynasty with a light car?" Shi Bufan asked with interest.
"You know us? How do you know so much about us Silla? Kindman asked hurriedly.
"Miss Deman, you don't have to ask so much, you just need to know that I don't have much ill will towards you. Of course, I am a member of the Liupin Division of the Datang Criminal Department, and I am an official of the Tang Dynasty. The title is Dingxiang County male. Shi Bufan said.
"Dingxiang County male, six-rank official?" Jindeman was relieved, since he was an official of the Tang Dynasty and a nobleman with a knighthood, the problem was not too serious.
On the contrary, Jindeman asked a little anxiously: "What do you Datang think of us Silla?" ”
Shi Bufan looked left and right and said, "Miss Deman, let's not talk about this issue for now, this is not the time to talk about this. It turned out to be a guest, and I invited you to this meal today. I have a close relationship with the owner of this Qin restaurant, I can make the decision for her, and you can eat here for free in the future. ”
Jindeman was also extremely embarrassed, she was obviously a little anxious just now, and wanted to inquire about Datang's opinion on Silla. Although Silla is currently a nominal vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, it is only nominal. Although Jindeman's father, King Jinpyeong, was canonized by the then Tang Emperor Li Yuan and became the king of Lelang County and the king of Silla, this was only a nominal vassal state, not a real Tang Dynasty with enough influence. The influence of the Tang Dynasty on Silla was almost zero, and it was only a nominal vassal state. In fact, many territories of the Tang Dynasty were ruled in name only, not in real form. In later generations, many Tang fans used the territory of the Tang Dynasty to cover 12 million square kilometers, which was larger than that of China in later generations. Shi Bufan can only say that this kind of thinking is simply carried away by the position, because they obviously include the so-called territory of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate and the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate.
The territory of these Anzai Prefectures was actually nominally ruled, and the role of the Metropolitan Protectorate was actually similar to that of the "United Nations", which was only a coordinating body, not a real governing body. Of course, the authority of the Metropolitan Protectorate is slightly higher than that of the United Nations, because the Metropolitan Protectorate has garrisons. These nominal rules of knowledge, in fact, those places don't have to pay any taxes to the Tang Dynasty at all, but they just take out some tribute and send it away. On the contrary, Datang has to invest a lot of capital to maintain, which is also worth the loss.
During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, there was a great deal of controversy over whether to abandon Persia, because these lands would not only not bring any benefits, but would become a bottomless pit that devoured the wealth of the Tang Dynasty. Rather than that, it's better to give up. Judging from the series of performances of the Tang monarchs and ministers, in fact, they did not regard this Western Regions as their own territory, but they were just chicken ribs that were tasteless and discarded. The reason why they are even unwilling to give up is only because of the factor of face, not the factor of actual interests. This kind of nominal territory will not be regarded as real territory when it is not ordinary. Shi Bufan is not a Tang fan in essence, and he will not be a fan of any dynasty, because any dynasty has its unique social structure, has a unique domestic and international situation, and the problems it faces are different, and it cannot be directly compared like this.
So if it is calculated like this, then in fact, Silla Baekje Goguryeo, that is also the territory of China, so what kind of Goguryeo did Li Shimin and Li Zhi fight! This is all nonsense, those territories are useless, and the ones who can directly rule are their own territories! Of course, it can also be used as a means of talking about things and international games. But if you really take these things seriously, that's a fool! History should be looking forward, not looking back at the past, which is of no use to anything, because history has no regret medicine.
"May I ask Shiren Wailang, I came to Chang'an with my sister Jin Shengman this time, and I actually want to congratulate the Tang Emperor on his accession to the throne." Jindeman hurriedly found a reason and said.
Shi Bufan asked with interest: "The future Queen Deman, it is said that this kind of congratulations on her accession to the throne should have a huge delegation of envoys, why are there only two of them?" And my Datang Rite Department, Honglu Temple, and even the Simen where I am have not received any news! If the gates of various gates receive a visit from a foreign envoy, it must be reported in time, and it is impossible for me, as a gatekeeper, not to know the relevant news. ”
"Therefore, there is only one possibility, that is, you did not use your real identity to enter my Datang, but used a fake identity. Since I came to congratulate the emperor on his ascension to the throne, this is not an unsightly thing, why do you want to use a fake identity? ”
Jindeman was extremely embarrassed and scolded secretly: "This guy, why is he so cunning? ”
In fact, what Jindeman said to congratulate Li Shimin on his accession to the throne is complete nonsense! Of course, it is difficult for Jindeman to say that his real purpose is to find out the attitude of the Tang Dynasty towards Goguryeo. The pressure on Silla was not small, especially since Goguryeo and Baekje together wanted to be unfavorable to Silla, which made the situation in Silla very troublesome. This is like Cao Wei and Sun Wu attacking Shu Han together, of course they are under a lot of pressure. Originally, according to the principle of international balance, Baekje and Silla should have joined forces to fight against France against Goguryeo, but the Baekje gang had a lot of conflicts with Silla in the past, which made Baekje a lackey of Goguryeo and suppressed Silla together.
Jindeman took the initiative to ask Jin Baijing, the king of Zhenping, for his life, and personally came to Datang to find out Datang's true attitude towards Goguryeo. Although on the surface, the Tang Dynasty had a lukewarm relationship with Goguryeo, and even took the initiative to canonize Goguryeo, as if he didn't care about the contradictions of the Sui Dynasty in the past. But this kind of official article is the most unbelievable, who believes it and who is stupid! Jindeman took the initiative to find out what Datang's attitude was towards Goguryeo. If the Tang Dynasty still wants to continue to attack Goguryeo, then the opportunity for Silla will come, once the Tang Dynasty attacks Goguryeo, then Silla's pressure on Goguryeo will suddenly be greatly reduced, and it can even seek benefits from it.
So this is what Kindman has to come, but he can't use his real identity, otherwise once he uses his real identity, then Goguryeo will of course understand what Silla means. Even Datang would not take the initiative to disclose the news at that time, so Jindeman hid his identity and secretly moved into Chang'an to investigate. But less than a day after entering Chang'an, his identity was exposed, which made Jindeman almost crazy.
What's even more terrifying is that he met someone who is so shrewd and extraordinary in time, and he can actually judge through some small details that he used a fake identity to enter Datang. What is this behavior? This is an out-and-out "espionage" act, casually being a spy in someone else's country, and he deserves to be killed! Now, Jindeman is really embarrassed, he doesn't need a normal identity, he comes in with a fake identity, and it's completely okay to be killed as a spy. It depends on whether Shi Bufan is more real, once Shi Bufan is more serious, Jindeman and Jin Shengman will be in danger.
Jindeman's eyes rolled rapidly, and he immediately cried with a look of grievance: "Shi Yuan Wailang, I have no choice but to do it!" This is all Baekje and Goguryeo blocking the way for us Silla to come to the Tang Dynasty, so we have to do this! The Tang Dynasty is like a parent to us Silla, but it's a pity that Baekje and Goguryeo actually want to block the way for us Silla to visit the Tang Emperor, and we have to do so. Baekje and Goguryeo are so obstructed, it's really a big rebellion! Therefore, for the sake of our Silla in order to express our respect for the Tang Emperor, I did not hesitate to let me, the only ****, personally venture to come, which represents my Silla's sincerity to the Tang Dynasty! ”
"Squeak squeak, really worthy of being one of the best monarchs in the future, Jindeman, so easy to dispel his 'spy' behavior, and even give a reasonable reason, but provoke the relationship between the Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo and Baekje, this trick is really powerful enough! This woman is not simple! Shi Bufan thought.
In a short period of time, Kindman actually thought of this solution. She found a reason for herself, that is, she put the blame on Goguryeo and Baekje, which made Shi Bufan think that Goguryeo and Baekje blocked Silla's "tribute" road, but Silla's "love" for the Tang Dynasty was like a parent, and as a "child", of course, she had to try her best to meet her parents. Even if he knew that someone was blocking him, he deliberately let the only female **** Jindeman come secretly, which represents the filial piety of the children to their parents!
In this way, he directly beautified his "spy" behavior as a respect for the Tang Dynasty, and put the responsibility on Baekje and Goguryeo, which is easy to provoke the dissatisfaction of the Tang Dynasty with Baekje and Goguryeo, which is simply killing two birds with one stone. If it is an ordinary ancient Chinese, you may really feel the "filial piety" of this Silla, and even really be dissatisfied with Baekje and Goguryeo. In fact, this is like the ancient state of one subject state blocking the way for another subject state to pay tribute to China, which will certainly make the ancient Chinese politicians with inflated self-confidence very annoyed. This is what Kindman used to do, thinking that Shi Bufan, like those ancient politicians, was a person with this mentality, and he quickly thought of this solution.
Originally, Jindeman thought that he would make Shi Bufan sympathize with her, and he was dissatisfied with Goguryeo and Baekje. But Jindeman was disappointed, but Shi Bufan didn't care about Jindeman's words.
"Don't you think it's too tender to use this trick against me?" Shi Bufan complained in his heart.
Shi Bufan is an LL.M. student in international relations, and many retired diplomats from diplomatic departments have been listed as visiting professors in international relations. The diplomatic scene that these guys have experienced is simply not too much, and Kindman's method has been eliminated for many years in later generations, so Kinderman's method may be useful against ancient Chinese officials. However, it is of no use to Shi Bufan, a later doctor of law who graduated from international relations.
Jindeman saw that Shi Bufan was not too enthusiastic, and he was even more anxious, and hurriedly cried even worse, hoping to win Shi Bufan's sympathy. Because Kindman thinks that any man who cries miserably in front of a very beautiful woman is also sympathetic, Kinderman hopes to arouse Shi Bufan's sympathy for her. (To be continued.) )
