The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans

Chapter 251 The Queen of Silla was shocked

Queen Deshan did not go to the palace immediately after entering Chang'an City. Instead, she took a bath and burned incense for a day before going to the palace.

Foreign monarchs came to meet in person. Even if it was just a small country, Li Chengdao still had to give him enough respect, so he chose to meet Queen Deshan in Taiji Palace.

Participating in the reception were officials from the Ministry of Etiquette, and the reception standards were in accordance with the highest standards for state guests.

Accompanied by four Silla envoys, the Queen of Silla, dressed in black imperial attire, slowly walked into the Taiji Palace.

Taiji Palace is a place used to receive foreign guests. Although it is not as magnificent as the Taiji Palace where court gatherings are held, the decoration is solemn and solemn, showing majesty.

The four Silla envoys all seemed a little nervous, but Queen Deshan looked as usual. After entering the palace, she knelt down and saluted the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, whose face was hidden behind the bead curtain, and said: "Foreign minister, please see Tang Dynasty Emperor."

She touched her forehead to the ground and performed the highest etiquette.

After she paid homage, Li Chengdao was not in a hurry to speak, but just looked at them quietly.

Queen Deshan and several envoys remained in the posture of paying homage, not daring to make any other movements, as if they could feel the eyes of the person behind the bead curtain sweeping over them.

The atmosphere in Tai Chi Palace was stagnant, so heavy that it seemed to be suffocating.

After a long time, Li Chengdao said calmly: "Pingshen."

As Li Chengdao spoke, the heavy atmosphere in the palace dissipated. The envoys straightened up, but their heads were covered with sweat and they were shocked.

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was so terrifying, even if he didn't speak, he was so powerful.

"Queen Deshan came to Chang'an to see me in person. I am very happy."

Li Chengdao chuckled and said, "You are a guest from afar. Since the queen is here in Chang'an, she might as well stay in Chang'an for a few more days to see the style of our most powerful city in the Tang Dynasty, so that I can fulfill my friendship as a landlord."

Li Chengdao's voice was as warm as the warm sun in winter. With one sentence, the previous heavy atmosphere and tension were swept away. He seemed to be just an ordinary king who was approachable, not the iron-blooded emperor who held 60 troops and slaughtered an entire country. .

Queen Deshan did not dare to relax at all, bowed slightly and said: "Your Majesty is so courteous, and the foreign minister is very grateful, but this time the foreign minister comes with the heavy responsibility of the survival of the country, I hope that your majesty can give the foreign minister a chance to talk. "

Queen Deshan knew very well that the purpose of her trip was impossible for the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty in front of her not to know.

But knowing it or not is one thing, giving her a chance to speak is another.

And she was right. Li Chengdao had already guessed her purpose of coming to Chang'an.

Silla borders Goguryeo. Once Goguryeo is defeated, according to Han Xin's nature, this expedition cannot only conquer one country and then retreat. It will definitely capture Silla and Baekje in one fell swoop.

They were just two small countries, not even as powerful as Goguryeo. If they were destroyed, they would be destroyed. There would be no problem at all. Will they wait for the next expensive expedition?

Li Chengdao was a little surprised that the Queen of Silla came to Chang'an in person, but that was all. He had no intention of discussing the matter with her. He could just receive her according to etiquette and send her back.

However, Queen Deshan raised this matter in person, which made him look slightly sideways.

This kind of spirit for the people of the country is worthy of praise. "Tell me about it in one stick of incense."

Li Chengdao said calmly that he decided to give Queen Deshan a chance to see how she planned to convince him.

Queen Deshan breathed a sigh of relief, then gathered her thoughts and said seriously: "Your Majesty, this time the Tang Dynasty sent troops to attack Goguryeo. Gao Jianwu couldn't see the situation clearly, but the foreign minister knew that your Majesty would win this battle."

"Now the Tang Dynasty has strong military strength and domestic troubles have been eliminated. His Majesty has unparalleled military talent. Taking Goguryeo is like picking something out of a bag. Only Gao Jianwu foolishly thought that the Tang Dynasty was the same as the Sui Dynasty more than ten years ago, so Goguryeo must do this. There is no doubt that we will lose. Once the war starts, we won’t even be able to last for a month.”

Queen Deok-sun's tone was decisive, directly determining the fate of Goguryeo.

Li Chengdao narrowed his eyes slightly, because Queen Deshan was right, it would indeed take less than a month to capture Goguryeo.

Calculating the time, the army should have set foot on the land of the former Eastern Turks by now, and will soon reach Goguryeo.

Queen Deshan continued: "Foreign ministers know that once Goguryeo is defeated, the next targets of the Tang cavalry will be our Silla and neighboring Baekje."

"Our two countries are not even as good as Goguryeo. They will only lose faster. The Tang Dynasty will never let our two countries stay. It will completely destroy three countries in one go."

Hearing Queen Deshan's words, the four Silla envoys were all frightened.

Li Chengdao said lightly: "Since you know this, what are you doing in Chang'an to see me? Do you want to persuade me to give up attacking Silla, watch Silla grow and develop, and then waste people and money on an expedition?"

Queen Deshan bowed her head deeply and said: "Your Majesty, please believe that I, Silla, have no intention of being hostile to the Tang Dynasty. I, Silla, are willing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty forever."

"The Bohai Peninsula is too remote for the Tang Dynasty. It is an overseas enclave. Even if the Tang Dynasty takes over this land, it will be difficult to govern. It will have to send troops to guard it, which has disadvantages but no advantages."

"The foreign minister sincerely requests your Majesty to send troops to destroy Goguryeo and Baekje, and hand over the Bohai Peninsula to our jurisdiction, Silla. We, Silla, are willing to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty every year, respect the Tang Dynasty as the suzerain state, and be our vassal forever."

Queen Deshan's words made Li Chengdao's eyelids twitch slightly.

He originally thought that Queen Deokseon was persuading him to give up attacking Silla, but he didn't expect that the other party's ambition and appetite were greater than he thought, and she actually wanted to take over the Bohai Peninsula!

"Fun, interesting."

Li Chengdao laughed twice and then said nothing.

Queen Deshan pursed her lips and looked up at the luxurious bead curtain, as if she wanted to see clearly the expression of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty behind the curtain.

Li Chengdao leaned on the dragon chair, his long white fingers tapping rhythmically on the golden armrest.

The sound was not loud, but it seemed to hit everyone's hearts, giving them an invisible pressure.

"Why should I promise you?"
