After three drinks, the father and son put down their glasses.
"The king is going to send envoys to pay homage to the Tang Dynasty. What do you think?" Jin Shuxuan looked at his son Jin Yuxin and asked slowly.
He is quite satisfied with his eldest son. This son not only has strength, but also has brains. Jin Shuxuan is very relieved that the family will be in his hands in the future.
"What should be done." Jin Yuxin did not doubt Queen Kinderman's actions, but slowly analyzed: "Now that Goguryeo is in civil strife, we cannot take care of our country for the time being. The only one in danger is Baekje. If we can cooperate with
The Tang Dynasty came closer and established a friendly relationship, which was beneficial to us in dealing with Baekje.
To be honest with my father, the merchants under our family brought back news from the Central Plains. Now the Tang Dynasty is extremely powerful and has completely wiped out all the tribes in the grassland. As far as I know, the tribes in the grassland are not allowed to raise troops. It can be seen that the grassland has completely controlled the Tang Dynasty.
No threat.
That Emperor of the Tang Dynasty came to the throne as a young man and his methods were quite ruthless. In my opinion, he was far better than the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty. In the future, he will pay attention to us sooner or later. If we can make a good relationship with him in advance, it will be of great benefit to our country.
.”
"You admire him very much?" Jin Shuxuan asked with a smile.
"Yes, father." Jin Yuxin nodded, "I heard that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was the same age as the Spring and Autumn Period. He raised few troops and conquered the world with Emperor Wu of the Tang Dynasty. He won every battle. Later, as a bastard, he ascended the throne and became the emperor, defeating the great empire of Nuo.
He is well-organized and can be said to be a hero."
"So young?" Jin Shuxuan was slightly surprised.
The Chunqiu in the son's mouth is his son-in-law, Jin Chunqiu, the grandson of King Jinji and the grandson of King Jinpyeong.
"Yes, it is quite shocking to subdue the heroes of the Central Plains and destroy the grassland tribes in the north before reaching thirty." Jin Yuxin's tone was extremely solemn.
In his opinion, it is both a good thing and a bad thing that the emperor of the Central Plains Kingdom is so young and promising. The good thing is that with such an emperor, if Silla surrenders to the Tang Dynasty, it will be able to get assistance. The bad thing is that once this Tang emperor
Following the example of the Sui Emperor would be a disaster for the three countries on the peninsula.
Because the Tang Emperor was too young.
For such a young emperor, even if he did nothing, his national power would soar due to the huge size of the Central Plains.
If the Tang Dynasty attacked the Three Kingdoms, they might not be able to withstand it.
"Are you afraid of him?" Jin Shuxuan asked.
"Yes, father." Jin Yuxin said: "Silla can go to the country with Tang as its suzerain, but dogs are afraid of their masters, and they will bite them if they step on their feet!"
"Okay!" Jin Shuxuan laughed, "My son is so awake, he can be the first person in the Three Kingdoms!"
These three countries refer specifically to the three countries on the peninsula.
"Father is too flattering." Jin Yuxin said: "I plan to ask my younger brother to go to Chang'an with the delegation to pay homage to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, so as to have a better understanding of the Emperor's joys and anger."
"Well, Qin Chun should also go out and see the world." Jin Shuxuan said: "The Tang Dynasty is a powerful country. You have to tell him to serve him carefully."
"My child understands."
At this moment, Jin Qinchun, the younger brother of the two of them, walked in.
"Father, brother, I just received news that the king wants to make peace with the Tang Dynasty and form a friendly country."
"Marriage?" Jin Shuxuan was stunned, and immediately asked Jin Qinchun to sit down, and then said disdainfully: "People in the Tang Dynasty attach great importance to family status. The princess of Silla may be noble in the Three Kingdoms, but to the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty, they are barbarians. This
Things must not come to pass.”
In the past, they had not considered asking the Central Plains Kingdom to marry a princess, or marrying the princess to the Central Plains Emperor.
However, the results are often not very good.
At the worst time, he was even ridiculed by the Central Plains people as "animals and livestock".
Why?
Because the people in the Central Plains felt that the intermarriage within the Silla royal family was simply outrageous and incest!
Jin Yuxin did not jump to conclusions, but asked: "I remember that the royal family seems to have no princess of the right age. Who does the king want to marry?"
"The daughter of King Gewen, Princess Shengman." Jin Qinchun replied.
"I see." Jin Yuxin rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully: "Princess Shengman has a good appearance. If it is really her, she may not have no chance."
Jin Shuxuan frowned and said: "I still feel that this matter cannot be done, so I don't want to be verbally abused by the Central Plains again in the end."
"Why not give it a try?" Jin Yuxin smiled, "If it really succeeds, we may be able to use the power of the Tang Dynasty to unify the Three Kingdoms in the future!"
Speaking of this, his eyes exuded a biting luster.
The Central Plains Kingdom next door has been unifying, but they seem to have never been unified. If Silla can really unify the three kingdoms, then they will be remembered by history and admired by future generations.
Jin Shuxuan looked at his eldest son and shook his head slightly. Unifying the three kingdoms was such a great cause that he really didn't dare to think about it.
Soon, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that his second son looked strange. He suddenly thought of something and immediately warned: "Once Princess Shengman is selected as the marriage princess, you are not allowed to have the slightest idea about her again, remember!"
Jin Shengman was very famous in Silla, and Jin Qinchun was also her admirer.
In Jin Shuxuan's view, no matter whether the marriage is successful or not, it cannot be ruined because of the second son, let alone any bullshit affair.
Otherwise, the failure of the marriage is a small matter. Once the Tang Dynasty emperor thinks that Silla is teasing and fooling him, the problem will be big.
The Tang Dynasty could not be offended at all.
Jin Qinchun pursed his lips, lowered his head and said nothing.
As a new powerful person in Silla, he had a great affection for the unusually beautiful Princess Shengman.
Jin Yuxin patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "There is no need for a real man to have a wife. I will find a good one for you in the future. Look at me, I married my brother-in-law's daughter. Didn't I say anything?"
As he spoke, he had a smile on his face and seemed unconcerned.
Women, as long as they have this kind of thing, there is really no need to be rigid.
"Yes." Jin Qinchun's mood was visibly depressed. Watching the goddess being sent to another man's bed, this feeling was really bad.
Jin Yuxin said: "I have just discussed with my father and decided to let you follow the mission to the Central Plains to see the world."
"Me?" Jin Qinchun raised his head.
"Well, you." Jin Yuxin pointed at him, "Go and have a good look at the Central Plains. You must see clearly the attitude of the Tang Dynasty's monarchs towards Silla. This is very important."
Jin Qinchun took a deep breath and nodded heavily, "Yes, brother!"
On the other side, Prince Gewen's Mansion.
As the younger brother of King Jinpyeong, although Jin Guofan was raised to be a poor person, his status is still very noble, and his residence is also relatively prominent.
Of course, a minister's residence of this size in Chang'an is actually a small courtyard for a fifth-rank official.
Poor!
At this moment, Jin Guofan and his wife, Mrs. Yueming, were talking to their daughter Jin Shengman about sending her to the Tang Dynasty.
Jin Shengman has beautiful appearance and slender figure. In Silla, where the average female is 1.5 meters, Jin Shengman is nearly 1.7 meters tall, which makes her extremely outstanding.
According to historical records, Jin Shengman was seven feet tall. In the Tang Dynasty, one foot was thirty centimeters, and seven feet was two hundred and ten centimeters, so she was two meters tall. However, it is difficult to be certain about this kind of thing, because she later
She became the second queen of Silla. The things recorded may not be fully believed and may have been embellished by later generations. However, Kim Seung-man should not be short, otherwise Kim Bu-sik who wrote "History of the Three Kingdoms" would not have added this sentence.
Of course, it is a bit ridiculous to say that Jin Shengman is 2.1 meters tall. Even if there is a genetic mutation, it is impossible to be so outrageous.
With such a large population in the Central Plains, there are very few genetically mutated people who are taller than two meters, not to mention the Silla people who are short of resources and practice slash-and-burn farming.
