Chapter 807 Jin Chunqiu

In the second year of Longshuo, at the end of the first month.

When everything was ready for the Eastern Expedition in Chang'an and was about to set off, Jin Famin, the envoy of Silla, rushed all the way back to Silla after nearly a month of hard work.

The capital of Silla is set at Jincheng in the southeast of the peninsula. As the envoy of Silla, Kim Famin did not go to see Silla queen Kim Seung-man immediately after returning to Jincheng. Instead, he returned home to meet his father. Jin Chunqiu, who is in power.

Jin Chunqiu, a senior minister of Silla, official Bai Dajiaogan (Prime Minister), grandson of King Jinzhi of Silla, grandson of King Jinpyeong, and his wife-in-law Kim Yu-shin, who held a heavy army, put down the rebellion during the Bidam Rebellion at the beginning of last year. The new king, Kim Seung-man, has become the most powerful official in Silla, and Kim Fa-min's envoy this time is the intention of Kim Chun-chu.

"I'm back." Jin Chunqiu entered the room, looked at Jin Famin standing in the room, and said to Jin Famin.

Jin Famin saw Jin Chunqiu enter the house, he quickly bowed and said: "Er Famin pays homage to father."

Jin Chunqiu raised his hand to get Jin Famin to stand up, and then asked, "How is the mission going?"

Jin Famin replied: "Don't worry, Father, His Majesty has already agreed to send troops. Counting the days, the Great Tang's Eastern Expeditionary Army is about to go out, and it will arrive in Liaodong in a few days. It will be a shame for us in Silla. Opportunity."

When Jin Chunqiu heard the words, a smile slowly appeared on his face. Because Silla was close to the Tang Dynasty, it was not tolerated by Goguryeo, and because it was a feud with Baekje, the situation of Silla on the peninsula was not optimistic. Short In just a few years, more than [-] cities have been eroded by the two countries. If there is no external help, with the situation of Silla, I don't know how long it can last.

It was not the first time that Silla asked Datang to send troops. It had been rejected several times before, but this time it finally succeeded, and Jin Chunqiu felt relieved.

After confirming Tang Ting's intention, Jin Chunqiu asked again: "Tang Ting wants more things. Are money, food, soldiers, etc. still within our Silla's capacity?"

Jin Famin said: "The Tang Dynasty has thousands of miles of fertile soil, rich products, and the most affluent ones. They never demanded much from us. They never asked for more money and food. They only said that we should do what we can."

Hearing the words, Jin Chunqiu nodded in satisfaction first, then after thinking for a moment, he said: "Although Your Majesty never asked for more, we still need to understand the etiquette, after all, this is the way for us father and son to make good friends with Your Majesty and Datang. Great opportunity, just prepare food and grass according to the [-] shi agreed before."

Jin Famin said: "Thirty thousand shi is enough for food and grass, but His Majesty still has one concern about the Eastern Expedition."

Jin Chunqiu hurriedly asked: "What is Your Majesty worried about?"

Jin Famin replied: "The former king died of illness. The king has not been on the throne for a long time, and he has not been in charge of the government. All affairs in the court are decided by father. Your Majesty knows the current situation in Silla, and seems to be quite worried about our court in Silla. The war dragged on for too long, giving Tubo in the west an opportunity to endanger Guanzhong."

When Jin Chunqiu heard Jin Famin's words, he suddenly panicked. Li Ke is the king, and Jin Shengman is also the king. I was worried that Li Ke would be displeased because of this matter.

Jin Chunqiu hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty is dissatisfied with what I did in Silla?"

Jin Famin replied: "There should be no such thing. Your Majesty is the Khan of God. How can you care about this matter in our Silla court? Your Majesty is just worried that our Silla court will have different decisions, which will disrupt your majesty's deployment." , prolonging the war for too long."

With Jin Famin's words, Jin Chunqiu felt relieved and asked, "Is this what His Majesty said personally?"

Jin Famin said: "Your Majesty said it himself, it doesn't matter whether the ruler of Silla is in charge of the country, or the ministers of power assist the government, these are our Silla's internal affairs. Your Majesty has no intention of interfering. As long as your Majesty knows that our Silla is in charge It is enough to be loyal to His Majesty and to Datang not to miss the battle.

I knew what my father meant, so I responded to this matter on my behalf at that time, and told His Majesty that our father and son must be loyal to Your Majesty and have no second ambitions. "

Jin Chunqiu patted his chest and said: "It's normal for Your Majesty to be so worried. After all, the Tang Dynasty and Tubo are at odds. Your Majesty wants to guard against Tubo. Naturally, he doesn't want the army to stay in Goguryeo for too long."

Jin Famin said: "Father, Your Majesty does not want to garrison heavy troops in Goguryeo, and he approves of you so much, this is our chance."

"What do you want to say?" Jin Chunqiu asked Jin Famin.

Jin Famin replied: "On the way back, my son has been thinking about one thing. After my father is also a royal family, when it comes to my achievements in Silla, my father is far above the king. The king died of illness last year. This king should be the king. It belongs to father, why did he hand it over to Jin Shengman, is father willing?"

Hearing Jin Famin's words, Jin Chunqiu was startled at first, and quickly looked outside the door, confirming that there was no one else in the room except their father and son, and then he was relieved.

Jin Chunqiu said in a low voice: "How dare you speak like that, you know that what you said is treasonous."

Jin Famin said: "There are no outsiders here, what are you afraid of? If in my Silla kingdom, no matter whether it is a courtier or a lieutenant, at least [-]% of them are devoted to my father. As long as my father wants to sit on the throne, no one can stop him."

Jin Chunqiu has always known that his eldest son is an ambitious person, and he is not a quiet person. Jin Chunqiu said: "Because the king is a holy bone, and we are only real bones. Except for the blood of the holy bones, we can't sit on the throne with real bones. of."

The bloodlines of Silla people are divided into three, six, and nine grades according to the bone system. While distinguishing the superiority and inferiority, it also determines the official position that each bone level can achieve. He can inherit the throne, but Jin Chunqiu's real bone is the second class. He can be an extremely human minister, but he can't be called a king (Jin Chunqiu in history was the first real bone to be called king).

This is something that is rooted in the hearts of all the people of Silla, and it is hard to shake. If Jin Chunqiu wants to become the king of Silla, it is not enough to just take charge of the government and have military power. He needs a reason, and now Kim Famin has found it for Jin Chunqiu. a reason.

Jin Famin said: "Father is a real bone. If it was in the past, father would naturally not be able to sit on the throne, but what if His Majesty issued a decree for canonization? The bone product is just a statement. No matter how big it is, can it still honor His Majesty's will? As long as there is a decree from His Majesty to confer, plus the power in father's hands, father's throne will be upright, and no one will dare to criticize it."

Silla is a vassal of the Tang Dynasty. Whenever a new king of Silla ascends the throne, he must first elect a new king in the middle of the country, and then report to the Tang Emperor and ask for canonization. Shengman, and made Jin Chunqiu the king, this is naturally an excellent help for Jin Chunqiu to ascend the throne.

Jin Chunqiu asked: "How do you know that Emperor Tang will canonize me as King of Silla?"

Jin Famin said: "The emperor of Tang didn't pay much attention to the selection of the king of Silla. As long as father made great contributions in the Great Tang's Eastern Expedition and made a good relationship with the Tang army commander, then he will go to the Tang army with the Tang army and bribe His Majesty's side. It is not impossible for my important minister to ask for an imperial decree for my father."
