997, Silla Purge (2)
Gyeongwen took the Silla border guards that had just been incorporated and hurriedly continued to the south, so that after arriving in the capital as soon as possible, the interior of Silla could be cleaned. Any high-ranking Silla official who is unwilling to cooperate is almost a dead end. And those middle and low-level officials must also purge most of the officials, who are the domestic servants of the princes and nobles, so as to ensure domestic security.
As for those officials from poor backgrounds, they can also be purged as appropriate, but the premise is that they are willing to cooperate. And it is also the blessing of the Sila bone system, many of their poor families cannot become high-level officials in their lives because the so-called bone quality is not high enough, which is determined by their background and blood. And because of this, the top has always been nepotism, and there is no good selection of low-level talents. In this way, those low-level talents cannot get greater benefits for many years, so they have little loyalty to high-level officials. Anyway, his so-called low background is useless in determining a Qiē Silla in this background. So they don't care who is in power at the top, because even if the boss fights for power, it won't affect them, and they won't be able to get benefits. In this way, those officials from poor families often watch this scene from the wall, so those princes and ministers of Silla are very tragic, because they can't find the iron rod willing to support them, because they are all grass on the wall.
At this time, as long as Kindman gives those poor talents a hope, let them see that they have the opportunity to become high-ranking officials, and even if Silla is in charge, they will also think of being able to be loyal to Kindman, so that Kindman's power position will be stable.
A few days later, Jingwen and the Kindman and Kim Seungman sisters also arrived in the capital of Silla with tens of thousands of Silla troops. And along the way, they have collected a lot of troops, and those officials who do not agree to the annexation of Silla to the Tang Dynasty, and the descendants of Jindeman to inherit the throne are also dead, even if they are the clans of the Jin family, they will be killed. After all, the heavenly family has no relatives, as the family of the ruler. There can be a few that are friendly. Since you don't agree, kill it. Anyone who is unwilling to cooperate is his own enemy. This is what Jingwen said, who made them oppose themselves and Jindeman's descendants to inherit the throne!
"Your Majesty, the gates of the capital Xu Luofa are closed, and we can't go in directly." A soldier said.
Xu Luova is also the capital of Silla, and now I am afraid that the princes and ministers inside Xu Luova also know that Jindeman led the troops to kill back, and they knew that they had to resist, so they directly took over the power of the capital and organized an army to resist Jindeman's army. But when Kindman personally led his troops to Goguryeo. took away almost eighty percent of the country's army, and they were all the most powerful troops, so they all felt helpless. If they had known that this would happen, they would not have let Kindman personally lead his troops to attack Goguryeo, and as a result, Kindman took the opportunity to seize the military power, so they would really be unlucky.
"Open the door, the queen is back, you hurry up and open the door, do you want to rebel?" A loud Silla soldier shouted.
And a middle-aged man on the city wall shouted: "Don't open the door." That woman Kindman has already been another man's woman, so she is not qualified to be our queen, so he is no longer our queen! ”
But Kindman looked at the person above and said, "Third uncle, is there any rule that says that as a queen, you can't get married?" And also. You actually colluded with Xu Luofa's princes and ministers to rebel, you are not punishable! Don't you want the righteousness between kings and ministers? What rule says that you are entitled to depose this king? ”
The third uncle of Kindman refused to recognize Kindman as the queen on the grounds that Kindman was married. And Kinderman, in turn, said they were rebellious. And then they are defined as rebellion. After all, Silla was also influenced by the Central Plains, and emphasized the supremacy of the monarch's rights, and no one could surpass it. Although Kindman had little real power in his hands before. The military power is in the hands of others, but she is also the rightful queen of Silla after all. In many cases, as an emperor, he relies on this nominal identity to protect his status. And those Silla princes and nobles didn't expect that in order to maintain the balance of interests in all aspects, they set up a queen, and now this queen actually doesn't listen to them! Originally, they thought that a woman would be easy to deal with, but now this woman actually colluded with the Tang Dynasty and even became a woman of an official in the Tang Dynasty, which is really "luring the wolf into the house". Now, with the help of Datang, Jindeman has absorbed the army, and then led the troops back to kill, looking like he wants to seize power.
"Yes! How can a courtier oppose a king? "The queen is supposed to be supreme, how can they depose the queen?" "Yes! Are they all rebellious? ”……
Many of the soldiers of Silla were also talking about it, because they were only at the bottom and didn't know anything about the dirty things at the top. They have always been taught to be loyal to the king, and the current king is the queen of Kinderman, so they subconsciously think that Kindleman is the queen, the rightful king of Silla. Therefore, they also think that the princes and ministers above are rebellious.
Now those princes and ministers have a headache, why did they let a woman be the king in order to balance the interests of all parties. Now the situation is out of control, and Kindman occupies the position of king, which means occupies the righteousness. According to traditional thinking, no matter how a courtier is, he is not qualified to depose the monarch, and now these princes and ministers want to depose the monarch, which is obviously not in line with everyone's values. So that Jindeman's third uncle also knows that the situation is very dangerous now, if he can't solve this "righteousness" problem, then I'm afraid that his people and soldiers will be unstable!
"It seems that we must set up another king as much as possible." Jindeman's third uncle thought to himself.
And at this time, another king can remove the righteousness of Jindeman as much as possible, and then remove Jindeman's influence in Xu Luova, so that the soldiers dare to fight Jindeman's army. After all, if the influence of the previous king is not removed, then I am afraid that the soldiers will not dare to fight against the previous king at all. And even if Kindman didn't have too many measures at that time, her position as queen was legitimate, so she still had a lot of influence in the minds of the people. (To be continued......)
