Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1313

"Prince."

Crown Prince Jiawen sat there, almost dozing off listening to the discussions of these monarchs and ministers. He really couldn't understand what was Emperor Khuslao II or Emperor Heraclius.

"Father."

"You said that Persia was about to fall, why did I decide to form an alliance with Persia? Why did I not directly support the Persian emperor but the prince when I formed an alliance with Persia?"

Jiawen stood there, a little dazed.

"My son doesn't know."

"Sit down, if you don't know what you don't know, you still have self-knowledge, but since you don't know, you have to learn. I let you stay here, not for you to doze off, but for you to study. You are already over ten years old Now, I have to learn to start carrying some burdens."

"My son was wrong."

Luo Cheng shook his head slightly, "Although Persia is about to perish, the lean horses are bigger than camels. As the saying goes, centipedes are dead but not bounded, and fierce beasts will fight trapped beasts when they are dead. At this time, wild beasts are the most powerful. Fierce. We don't need to mess with a dying empire."

Wei Zheng also nodded, "Although Persia has a very wide border with me, his opponent is now Rome, and he has to face resistance from many newly occupied lands in the south, so he is completely powerless and dare not invade our Great Qin in the east and north. Territory. Moreover, he also needs to maintain our trade relationship, and needs our silk, tea, porcelain and other goods to maintain Persia’s current collapsed financial situation. What’s more, they also want to obtain a large amount of sophisticated armor and weapons from Daqin. For advanced warships, they need us."

"Jiawen, there are three catties of nails for a bad ship. Persia has a population of 2000 million, and its territory is not smaller than my Great Qin. Therefore, we can make him a fortune when he sees his demise. This time, the emperor of Persia sent the prince card Kura came, we can get close to this prince, the Persians want weapons and armor, sell them, want ships, sell them, want silk porcelain tea paper, sell them.”

"But didn't the father say that Persia is now militaristic and its finances are in ruins? What do they have to pay for it?"

"Gold, silver, spices, slaves and even land are all fine." Luo Cheng smiled and said, a big empire with more than 500 million square kilometers of land and a population of 2000 million, is he afraid that he can't pay the bill?

"Of course, before we make a deal with the prince, we should formally sign a treaty to clarify the border between Daqin and Persia, so that Persia must recognize Daqin's ownership of Daxia and Hezhong."

Daxia is also Tocharo, post-Afghanistan area, and Hezhong is the Hezhong area, which is the southern area of ​​Beiting Road established by the imperial court.

The western border of Daqin is to be rowed to the east coast of the Caspian Sea.

"Persia now occupies the whole of Egypt, not only controls the Persian Gulf, but also controls the Red Sea. Therefore, Persia controls important trade lines. We maintain friendly relations with Persia, so that our trade will not be hindered. Taking advantage of his war, selling His weapons can naturally make a lot of money. At this time, we propose to sign a border agreement with him. Even if the Persians have some ideas about Tocharian and the middle of the river, they can only sign. Once signed, it will be written in black and white. Then we will have legal principles in the future, and no matter who inherits Persia in the future, we will not be able to get around it."

Although it is said that fists have to be used to speak in the end, with such an agreement, many controversies can be avoided.

"Old Taoist, I will leave it to you to discuss with the Persian prince about the agreement with Persia. When the time comes, you will bring the prince with you. After the negotiation is completed, let the prince and the Persian prince sign first, and then wait for me to discuss with the Persian emperor. After signing, the agreement will be exchanged."

Knowing that the emperor never forgot to mention the crown prince, Wei Zheng readily agreed.

"Saint, King Jinbaijing of Silla seeks an audience."

Luo Cheng stretched himself, Wei Zheng waited just as he left, and the King of Silla was waiting again.

"Xuan."

The gray-haired Jin Baijing brought in a young, tall and beautiful woman, followed by a young man.

"The vassal minister Jin Baijing pays respects to my emperor, long live!"

Jin Baijing was already old, but before he came to Daqin and met the emperor, he was taught how to salute by the eunuchs in the palace.

Seeing the Great Qin Emperor, he didn't dare to neglect him at all, and hurriedly knelt down to worship him.

Luo Cheng is generally unwilling to let his courtiers kneel down, even in court meetings and palace meetings, they always sit on their knees.But now he is sitting behind the imperial case without moving, making Jin Baijing bow down.

"Jin Aiqing, flat body."

Princess Jin Shengman also bowed to the emperor.

"Aiqing traveled thousands of miles, crossing the sea to come to court, it's hard work." Luo Cheng walked out of the imperial case, and smiled while supporting Jin Baijing's hand.

"It's not hard, it's not hard."

Jin Baijing didn't dare to say it even though he had worked so hard. When he came to Daqin, he saw the prosperity and strength of Daqin with his own eyes, and saw kings or princes from many countries he had never heard of coming. explain.

"I have sent someone to notify Jin Zhaoyuan, she will be here in a while, Aiqing and others haven't met Zhao Tuiyuan yet."

"Before meeting the saint, don't dare.

After chatting for a while, Kinderman came.

Jin Baijing realized that he didn't know his daughter anymore. She was wearing Zhaoyuan's concubine's palace dress, dignified and majestic, her makeup and clothes had changed, and she was even more majestic and graceful.

"Sister is pregnant?" Shengman's eyes were sharp, and she could see that Princess Deman's belly was slightly bulging.

"It's been five months." Deman caressed his belly with a happy expression on his face. This princess who once only cared about the Silla country was now as happy as an ordinary woman.

Shengman didn't expect her sister to change so much.

"At first I didn't want Zhaoyuan to come. I was afraid that she would not be able to bear it. But she insisted on coming, so I had to let her come by boat and water all the way. Fortunately, I didn't suffer much. I know you are here, and I read it every day."

"Thank you for the saint's concern." Jin Baijing said, and then said to Deman, "Zhaoyuan, this time Xiaowang brought Princess Shengman here to send her into the palace."

Kinderman nodded. She had already learned about this matter, so she didn't think too much about it.Just like when she entered the palace back then, it was a last resort. Fortunately, Qin Tianzi was young and courteous, and he was gentle, so he treated her very well.

Silla is only a small vassal state, and it cannot refuse Daqin's request.

"My sister is here, and it happens that my sister will have more companions in the future." Deman took Shengman's hand, and the two had a good relationship when they were in Silla.

Shengman smiled a little reluctantly.

Since she entered the palace, she has secretly looked at the emperor many times. The emperor is unexpectedly young, tall and handsome, and has an unspeakably charming temperament when he smiles. Feel.

"I canonize Princess Shengman as a talented person, one of the 27 concubines, the fourth rank, below the ninth concubine."

Shengman forced a smile, "Thank you, Saint!"

Luo Cheng called Jin Chunqiu over again, and patted him on the shoulder, "You are pretty, but you are younger and thinner, so I canonize you as the son of the king of Silla, don't go back to Silla for now, stay in Daqin , study with the prince in Chongwen Hall, and also act as the prince's bodyguard. Practice hard for a few years, and spend more time with your aunt, and when you are successful in your experience, you will return to Silla to inherit the throne."

Jin Chunqiu knelt down and thanked him.

"Thank you, my lord, for your grace."

"Get up, I'll let you take you to the East Palace later, and I'll be with the prince from now on."
