Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 894 Surprise

What Su Cheng said was not false, the emperor really had high hopes for firearms, and he even counted on firearms to attack the city!

The soldiers were even more excited when they heard this. The emperor placed high hopes on them. As long as they lived up to the emperor's expectations and made meritorious deeds, would the marriage be far behind?

After the generals dispersed, the news quickly spread throughout the camp.

The entire Shenji Camp was boiling, but Chang'an City was still in a festive atmosphere, and hadn't realized that a war was coming.

Even in Chang'an City, many civil officials are still discussing whether to continue to impeach Su Cheng.

The New Year's Eve has passed, and there is still no news of Goguryeo's mobilization of troops. Su Cheng has not yet written a letter to plead guilty. How long do you want to delay?

After receiving the documents, Honglusi Minister sent the Silla envoys to the Sifang Pavilion in person, because this time the Silla envoys actually had Jin Shengman, the sister of the Queen of Silla, who is the heir of the Queen of Silla, and her status is not trivial.

In the Sifang Pavilion, Jin Shengman took the brocade box from Jin Wenzhi's hand, and said earnestly: "This is a gift for your lord. Our Silla is being attacked by Goguryeo. Sister Wang is leading the warriors to resist desperately. Our Xinluo Luo is in danger, I hope that my lord can send our letter of credence to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible! Please!"

After finishing speaking, Jin Shengman bowed towards Honglu Temple Minister Weiwei.

It stands to reason that Jin Shengman doesn't have to be so polite to Honglu Siqing as Jin Shengman, but the situation is stronger than others. She came to Datang to ask for help, so she is very respectful.

"Princess, don't worry, Silla is a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. Goguryeo dared to attack Silla brazenly. This is a major event. I will enter the palace and report to His Majesty!" Honglu Temple Minister said seriously.

Walking out of the Sifang Pavilion, the Minister of Honglu Temple couldn't help sighing. He didn't expect Goguryeo to actually mobilize troops!

However, instead of invading Datang, they brazenly sent troops to attack Silla.

Moreover, Silla was completely helpless, otherwise Jin Shengman, the only heir to the throne of Silla, would not take the risk of coming to Datang for help.

Since the beginning of winter, the civil servants in the court began to impeach Su Cheng, although there was a pause in the middle, it was because Su Cheng made a bet with Wei Zheng.

Because the New Year's Eve had passed and Su Cheng hadn't written a letter to plead guilty, the censors in the court had already discussed to continue to impeach Su Cheng.

But now, envoys from Silla came to ask for help, which confirmed that Goguryeo was indeed mobilizing troops last winter.

Therefore, Su Cheng's information was absolutely correct.

Now, all the censors in the court are in trouble.

Especially Zheng Guogong Wei Zheng made a bet with Su Cheng, and if he lost, he would go to Su Cheng's mansion to plead guilty.

Tsk, it's exciting to watch now.

The Minister of Honglu Temple walked into the palace, shaking his head and sighing frequently, but he was not sighing for Silla, but sighing for the censors in the court who were riding a tiger.

Silla is too far away from the Tang Dynasty. To be honest, even if Silla is really destroyed by Goguryeo, it will not affect them like Datang people.

In Liangyi Hall, Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he heard the eunuch's report that the minister of Honglu Temple asked to see him.

The Minister of Honglu Temple asked to see him. Does that mean that the envoys from Silla have come?

However, it is also possible that envoys from other vassal states came to Chang'an, but Li Shimin expected to be envoys from Silla.

"Xuanhonglu Temple Minister has an audience!" Li Shimin said expectantly.

"I see Your Majesty!" Honglu Temple Minister respectfully said.

"What's the matter with Aiqing asking to see you?" Li Shimin asked energetically.

"Your Majesty, the envoys of Silla arrived in Chang'an today, handed over their credentials, and I have placed them in the Sifang Pavilion." Honglu Temple Minister respectfully said.

Hearing the Minister of Honglu Temple say that the Silla envoys had arrived at the Sifang Pavilion, the big stone in Li Shimin's heart finally fell to the ground.

So comfortable!

The envoys of Silla finally arrived in Chang'an, Su Cheng's crow's mouth was right, and the envoys of Silla did not have any accidents at sea.

Li Shimin leaned back comfortably, and asked, "Oh? Silla envoys have come to Chang'an?"

Honglu Temple Minister respectfully said: "Yes, Your Majesty, the princess of Silla, the sister of Queen Silla, and the only heir to the throne, Jin Shengman, came to Chang'an with the envoys. According to them, Goguryeo sent troops to attack Silla. Silla's retreat is difficult, this is Silla's credential, please read it through Your Majesty!"

Outsiders may not know the inside story, but Eunuch Yao knows, and he also deeply understands that the emperor has been looking forward to the arrival of Silla for a long time.

Eunuch Yao hurriedly presented the letter of credence to the imperial court. Li Shimin looked at the letter of credence in his hand seriously. Although the letter of credence was not very elegant, every word came from the heart. It can be said that every word was full of panic, blood and tears. .

The national book first mentioned the current situation of Silla, which is very difficult and dangerous. Without the help of Datang, it would be difficult for Silla to stick to it, and it is bound to be divided up by Goguryeo and Baekje.

Then I started talking about how obedient Silla was to Datang...

This letter of credence looked really miserable, but Li Shimin was quite happy in his heart.

However, Li Shimin's face didn't show at all, on the contrary, his face was as sinking as water.

Li Shimin slapped on the imperial case with a bang, and shouted: "Gaoguryeo is so courageous! Silla is a vassal state of my Tang Dynasty, and has always been respectful to my Tang Dynasty. I didn't expect that Goguryeo would dare to send troops to attack Silla. , do you still have Datang in your eyes?"

"In every letter brought by Goguryeo, Gao Jianwu is very humble to me. I didn't expect Gao Jianwu to say one thing and do another!"

The emperor was furious, and the Minister of Honglu Temple hurriedly said: "Goguryeo dared to brazenly provoke a war, it is really audacious!"

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "I will pass on my will to hold a grand court meeting tomorrow and announce the entry of Xinluo's envoys into the court!"

"According to the order!"

Honglu Siqing left the palace and went straight to the Sifang Pavilion.

In the Sifang Pavilion, Silla was attacked by Goguryeo, and the news of coming to Datang for help has spread throughout the Sifang Pavilion.

Of course, this was also the intention of the Silla envoys. They just wanted to spread the news that Silla was attacked by Goguryeo so as to put pressure on Datang.

After all, the Tang Dynasty inherited the former Sui Dynasty in the Central Plains. Who knows the grievances with Goguryeo?

And Silla, as Datang's obedient vassal state, is now being attacked by Goguryeo. If Datang stands idly by, it will be a great blow to Datang's prestige.

When Honglu Temple Minister came to Sifang Pavilion, Jin Shengman and Jin Wenzhi who were waiting anxiously greeted him immediately.

"Excuse me, my lord, can you say that the letter of credence has been submitted to His Majesty the Emperor?" Jin Wenzhi asked eagerly.

The Minister of Honglu Temple nodded and said: "Of course, after leaving the Sifang Pavilion, I went straight to the palace to see His Majesty, reported the attack on Silla by Goguryeo, and presented the letter of credence to the emperor!"

Jin Shengman quickly asked: "How? What did His Majesty the Emperor say?"

The Minister of Honglu Temple smiled and said: "Your Majesty said that the Great Court Meeting will be held tomorrow, and you will be summoned at that time!"
