Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

"Don't dare!" Xue Rengui gave in a little bit, and walked over first.Jin Famin looked at the back of the other party, thinking to himself how much did the other party know?Jin Ren asked what he had said to him?Whether the mourning he said just now was a mockery or a threat, or maybe it was just a meaningless polite remark, he didn't know.

Jin Renwen was the second one, he didn't speak, just nodded to his elder brother, the rain slid down his black mink cloak, inside was a black mourning dress, Jin Yuxin's death was so sudden, he didn't even have time to prepare the outside Filial piety can only be replaced by a black mink cloak.Jin Famin's gaze was fixed on Jin Renwen's vest. It would be great if he was lying in the coffin today instead of Jin Yuxin!The king of Silla thought to himself, I definitely don't need to mourn for him. On the contrary, if there is such a day, I will definitely put on the most gorgeous Shu brocade robe and gold thread underwear, and match the crown full of gems on the head to show my love. joy.

The royal team passed through two stone gates and came to the small hall in front of Jin Chunqiu's tomb. According to Jin Chunqiu's will before his death, he hoped to live next to his best friend after death.Jin Yuxin's coffin was carried under the dome, and the stone slabs on the ground had been lifted away, revealing a dark cave, where there was a long and narrow tomb passage leading directly to the residence of the former king.The surrounding Silla nobles knelt down beside the queen and the king, sobbing silently. Many of them had fought under Kim Yushin's command, and some of them even followed Kim Yushin and Kim Chunqiu for two generations. Over the size of dozens of battles.Seeing all this, Jin Famin felt much more at ease, at least I still have many supporters.

Under the dome made of bronze, oak, and granite, Kim Yu-shin's body lies in a coffin next to the cave. Before being sent to the tomb, the old man will stay here for three days for worship.According to the customs of the Silla people, Kim Yu-shin's body was dressed in iron armor, with his hands folded on his chest, with a majestic expression. His right hand was a bow and quiver, and his left hand was a sheathed sword, as if he was about to set off to conquer himself. hater.And now that he's gone, who else can defend his throne?Jin Famin subconsciously glanced at everyone.

I don't know how long it took, the funeral ceremony was over, Jin Famin walked out of the hall exhaustedly, he helped his wife board the sedan chair, and was about to leave when he saw Xue Rengui walking towards him, his face was rosy, but his beard had already turned gray spot.Jin Famin realized that the other party should have something to tell him, so he kissed his wife on the cheek and signaled the bearer to send his wife away first.

"Yu Xingong is a rare hero in the world!" Xue Rengui sighed: "I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to meet such an outstanding person in your country in my lifetime!"

What the hell does this guy mean?Did you just find a sentence to start the topic, or did you say it on purpose?Jin Famin thought to himself, but replied casually: "Yes, we all miss him very much!"

"Yes!" Xue Rengui spread his palms: "How can we not miss such a hero? When the first emperor passed away, I also had a similar feeling. Really, I can understand your difficulty now: Alas, we all It is clear that no one is capable of carrying the burden left by Yu Xingong, but the dead have passed away, and the country must be ruled by someone, and someone must be ruled. In this dark hour, you need a helper, a loyal and capable helper!"

What the hell does this guy mean?Jin Famin frowned: Did Yu Xingong really die at the hands of Tang people?Otherwise, why would he say such words, as if he already knew that Yu Xingong would die.

"You are right. No one can fill the vacancy left by Yu Xingong after his death. Does Director Xue have any suggestions?"

"Your Highness, your brother is the best candidate!" Xue Rengui pointed to Jin Ren not far away and asked: "Really, you know his talent better than me, and the Holy Majesty also trusts General Renshou very much. If you appoint him He takes Yu Xingong's place, and the bad rumors about Tang and Silla will soon dissipate."

Jin Famin's smile was completely frozen, and he was worried that he would bite his teeth.Let Jin Renwen replace Yu Xingong's position?Who does Xue Rengui think he is?Would I boil myself and Silla, cut them up, sprinkle them with seasoning sauce, and serve them on a plate?He was too angry to speak.

"Your Highness, before I came here, I heard some bad rumors, such as the relationship between Silla and Goguryeo against the party; but I think this should be deliberately spread by the rebel party to provoke the relationship between Datang and Silla. I have sent troops several times Haidong fought side by side with your country and formed a deep friendship. I have great admiration for the character and talent of your father and Yu Xingong. Therefore, I hope that His Highness and General Renshou will be as loyal to the Tang Dynasty as your father and Yu Xingong, and strictly abide by the law. The duty of the vassal state..."

"Boss Xue!" Jin Famin interrupted Xue Rengui: "I think you still don't know the internal situation of our country. Before Yu Xingong died, he recommended his younger brother, Jin Qinchun, to Xiao Wang to take his official position. , Xiao Wang also accepted Yu Xingong's recommendation, so I'm afraid I can't accept your proposal!"

"Jin Qinchun?" Xue Rengui looked at Jin Famin in astonishment: "But Jin Renwen is your brother, and the person whom the Holy Majesty trusts the most!"

"That's the only way to go. After all, Xiao Wang has already promised Yu Xingong. You can't just destroy the promise before Yu Xingong's body is cold?" Jin Famin said with a smile: "As for the matter of the Holy Majesty, Xiao Wang will write a letter of apology. Presumably the Holy Majesty can also do it." Forgive Xiao Wang for his embarrassment!"

A trace of purple flashed across Xue Rengui's ruddy face, and his neck became thicker: "This, this—"

"That's it!" Jin Renwen suddenly came from behind, and he grabbed Xue Rengui's arm: "Boss Xue, I think His Majesty can understand my brother's difficulties! Now that the deal is done, let's not make things difficult for my brother! Also, here The taste is not very good!"

"What do you mean?" Facing Jin Ren's question, Jin Famin didn't even bother to pretend, he raised his head and asked coldly, "Taste?"

"You know what I mean!" Jin Ren asked, "The corpse rots quickly, so it must be buried early!"

"If you miss the breath of Chang'an, you can get on the fastest boat!" Jin Famin was very aware of the threat Jin Renwen posed to him. Anyway, he was also the second in line to the throne, and his own child was still young. He intends to send Jin Renwen away from Silla as soon as possible, so that he can sleep in peace only after leaving Silla.

"General Renshou is my lieutenant general!" Xue Rengui said again: "He must stay here until the war in Haidong is settled! If you have time, I hope you can discuss the war with us!"

Jin Famin knew that he could not shirk, so he said in a deep voice: "After the funeral, Xiao Wang will talk to you!"

"Very good!" Having achieved the purpose of this trip, Xue Rengui nodded in satisfaction. He didn't want to continue smelling the stench of dead people here. Although he was no stranger to this, it was not a pleasant thing after all. He bowed to Jin Famin: "Then I will just wait for the good news!"

After getting on the horse, Xue Rengui asked Jin Ren: "General Renshou, it seems that Brother Ling is still very wary of you!"

"It's not surprising, he's always been like this!" Jin Renwen swayed on his horse: "He was better when my father was alive, but it was obvious after my father passed away!"

"Because of the throne?" Xue Rengui asked.

"What else could it be?" Jin Renwen replied a little casually, but Xue Rengui didn't take it too seriously, he was very aware of the special relationship between Jin Yuxin and Jin Renwen, and the death of this old man undoubtedly had a huge impact on him.

"Then there is no other way. After all, there is only one throne! But if you want to sit on it? Your Majesty will definitely be willing to help!" Xue Rengui whispered.

Jin Renwen nodded noncommittally, Xue Rengui didn't ask any further questions, and the two went back to their respective residences like this.

Jin Renwen went back to his residence, changed his clothes, and was about to rest, when the servants around him came to report that someone was asking to see him outside.

"No, just say I'm a little tired!" Jin Renwen waved his hand a little bored.

"The man said that his surname is Cao, and he came to see you on the order of your best friend!"

"Cao? At the order of my best friend?" Jin Renwen thought for a while, then nodded: "You bring him in!"

Cao Wenzong was dressed in plain linen, with black hair and a smile on his lips all the time, making him look like an ordinary pedestrian on the roadside.The collar of his robe was frayed, and one sleeve was torn and hastily stitched on. "I'm very sorry to disturb your rest!" He said, "According to the order of the Lord, the villain is in Silla, waiting for the order of General Renshou!"

"Who do I know? So it's you!" Jin Ren asked, remembering the story of Chang'an, and said with a smile, "What's the matter, what's Wen Zuo's plan?"

"Without him, I just helped you ascend to the throne of Silla!" Cao Wenzong laughed. He took two steps forward and whispered something in his ear. Jin Renwen's face changed drastically: "What? You killed Jin Yuxin?"

"That's right! This guy advised Jin Famin and made troubles in the Japanese country, causing many troubles. The lord ordered me to come to Silla and find a way to take his life!" Cao Wenzong said frankly: "The lord once said that as long as If you want to become the king of Silla, he is willing to help you! If Kim Yu-shin is not dead, Kim Fa-min's throne will be backed by Mount Tai!"

"Okay!" Jin Renwen forced himself to suppress his complicated emotions, and asked, "How did you kill Jin Yuxin, please tell me carefully?"

"It's actually very simple!" Cao Wenzong said with a smile, "The lord has already made some arrangements in this Silla Kingdom. He has already placed a few eyeliners in Jin Yuxin's mansion to check out the topography and arrangements of his mansion and draw them into an atlas. Come out, I have memorized it in advance. The night before yesterday I took two capable assistants and sneaked into the mansion, entered the dormitory of that guy, first strangled the guards in the same room, and then suffocated Jin Yuxin with a pillow!"

"So simple?" Jin Ren asked in surprise.

"Actually, it's not that simple. It took a lot of effort just to install the eyeliner in Jin Yuxin's mansion. If the Lord hadn't arranged it earlier, this matter alone would be as difficult as heaven!" Cao Wenzong said with a smile: "As long as the servant The topographical atlas of the mansion and the arrangement of the sentry at night have all been checked, so how difficult is it to kill an old man?"

"Hey, Wen Zuo always predicts the enemy first!" Jin Renwen sighed, "Since I belong to you Saburo, I won't go around with you anymore. This time Director Xue's visit to Haidong is not only about Silla, but also There is Xiongjin Governor's Mansion and the Wa Kingdom, both of which have the right to govern Jiedu. I also know that these two places have a lot to do with Saburo, especially the Wa Kingdom, which is Saburo's favorite food. Let me explain to you first, Take a message to let those people take precautions! Do you understand?"

"Xiongjin Governor's Mansion? Wa Kingdom?" Cao Wenzong's face changed slightly: "Could it be that the imperial court is going to attack those two places?"

"It's very possible!" Jin Renwen nodded: "It's not clearly stated in the decree, but I guess Director Xue has an edict, and he won't show this hole card until the critical moment! How to deal with it, you first Tell Shen Faseng, He Bayong, and the others that Sanlang is still in Chang'an after all, and it will take several months to exchange news, and many things are still up to you to decide!"

"I see, the villain will take his leave first!" Cao Wenzong hurriedly sang a fat song to Jin Renwen, got up and left.

After sending Cao Wenzong away, Jin Renwen walked to the window, it was already dark outside, he looked out of the window, the outside was dark, just like his heart.The death of Kim Yu-shin gave him the illusion that he had lost the last point of support. Although the old man had always stood by his brother's side unambiguously, he was also his own uncle anyway (Jin Chunqiu married Kim Yu-shin's younger sister as his wife) , is the last remnant left by my father in this world.His death means that the last barrier between himself and his brother no longer exists. At the beginning, we united and worked together to defeat Baekje and Goguryeo and prosper Silla; but now the common enemy has fallen, and the rest There are only two brothers standing with swords in hand.

"I'm tired!" Jin Renwen murmured to himself: "But since you have taken the first step on this road, you can't stop. You will either fall down or reach the end! Brother, you must have understood this a long time ago. Reason, so no matter what I do, you will understand me, right? Just like I will understand you!"

--------------------------

The light from the window cast a long shadow on the road.

Cao Wenzong doesn't like shadows. From his past experience, shadows mean exposure at night, exposure means danger, and danger often means death.He quickened his pace and concealed his body into the corner. When the shadow disappeared from the street, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

The information that came out of Jin Renwen's mouth made him feel confused. Over the years of following Wang Wenzuo, he has gradually changed from a martial arts knight-errant to a thoughtful and decisive warrior.He is very clear that Wang Wenzuo's words and deeds often have hidden meanings, and most of the time he always just does nothing.Take the things he did in Baekje, Waguo, and Liaodong. If you look at each thing individually, it is for the Antai of Datang in the Northeast, but if you connect these things together, it is difficult to elaborate!
