Chapter 88 The canonization of the King of Silla [Thanks to Yanxue Cake
Li Zhiyun was not surprised when he heard the Silla envoy's request for canonization, but he still asked some questions out of curiosity.
"As far as I know, Silla has never had a woman as king. How do the people of Silla feel when you respect a woman as king?"
The emperor's words were not serious and did not sound that serious. But for some reason, Yan Chuan always felt that the majesty of the Tang Dynasty emperor was too heavy.
"His Majesty the Emperor, the new king of our country is the legitimate daughter of the previous king. She has the body of a holy bone and can inherit the throne."
Hearing this, Li Zhiyun had no expression on his face.
He generally knows something about the situation in Silla. If the aristocratic families of the Tang Dynasty have escaped from the vulgar taste, then the nobles of Silla are a group of truly vulgar people.
The so-called division of social classes by sacred bones has been eliminated in the Central Plains hundreds of years ago. Although the children of aristocratic families are indeed noble now, the common people of the Tang Dynasty are not purely inferior people. The circulation between classes is also
Even if you are not completely locked up, as long as you are willing to fight hard, you still have a chance to change your destiny.
Unlike the people of Silla, it is more than just a word of misfortune.
As for the rules of intermarriage between Silla and different "bones", it made Li Zhiyun even more disgusted.
These guys are all married and have children with close relatives, so they are not afraid of getting sick.
Du Ruhui came out of the procession and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, since the new king of Silla is the person unanimously recommended by the people of Silla, I think it is feasible to confer him a title."
Li Zhiyun nodded, "In that case, I will make him the Zhuguo, the Duke of Lelang County, and the King of Silla."
Is account ban important?
It's not important. What's important is the attitude of the Silla people. When Li Zhiyun saw their attitude, he would naturally not embarrass them.
For the Silla envoys, it didn't matter what they were granted. What mattered was whether the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty recognized their new king.
This is important.
"Minister, thank you for your love and affection, His Majesty the Emperor." With a smile on his face, Chang Chuan bowed and bowed.
As long as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty agreed to the canonization, half of his mission would have been completed.
Li Zhiyun continued: "When you return, I will go to Silla to confer the title with the Minister of Rites."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After thanking him, Yan Chuan continued: "Your Majesty, the king of our country has always respected your majesty. In the past, your majesty brought peace to the world and destroyed the Turks. The king always lamented that the Central Plains is truly a place of outstanding people and land.
Your Majesty. I admire your majesty's heroic spirit and heroic spirit, and wish to surrender to the Tang Dynasty forever. At this time, I have specially authorized the ministers to show the sincerity of the country to send the Silla clan girls to serve your majesty. I hope your majesty will approve it."
Jin Qinchun pursed his lips. They were obviously marrying the princess, but why did they ask the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to accept her?
An inexplicable feeling of frustration swirled in my stomach.
The monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty were slightly stunned.
Good guy, give it to the princess, right?
This kind of thing has happened in the past. A small country sent beautiful women to the emperor of the Central Plains to gain favor.
But, this is the first time for Silla.
Li Zhiyun was slightly interested and said: "Is this what your Queen of Silla meant?"
"yes."
Wei Zheng, the official minister, immediately objected: "How can a foreign girl serve your majesty? I think it is inappropriate."
Yan Chuan twitched the corner of his mouth and lowered his head.
Jin Qinchun quietly clenched his fists and said nothing.
"It is indeed inappropriate." Yang Gongren also said: "Your Majesty is rich all over the world, why should you specially accept Silla girls as concubines? This move is against the ancestral system, and I object to it."
Immediately afterwards, many ministers opposed this matter.
Ancestor system?
Did the Tang Dynasty have ancestral systems?
Li Zhiyun wanted to laugh, but held it back. In his opinion, the reason why the ministers opposed it was probably because of the "purity of blood" in their hearts.
In the eyes of Tang officials, the Silla people were equivalent to savages who drank their hair and drank their blood.
How could the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the supreme saint, His Majesty the Emperor, accept a wild woman as his concubine?
Listening to more and more Tang officials objecting to this matter, Jin Chunqiu suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty."
The ministers stopped talking and looked at the deputy envoy who said nothing.
"Who are you?" Li Zhiyun asked.
Jin Chunqiu replied: "I am the grandson of King Zhenzhi and the grandson of King Zhenping. Jin Chunqiu wishes to greet His Majesty the Emperor."
"Are you from the Silla Holy Bone Clan?" Li Zhiyun asked.
Jin Chunqiu was slightly embarrassed and explained: "I belong to the Zhengu clan."
"Oh." Li Zhiyun asked, "What do you have to say?"
Jin Chunqiu said: "The woman serving your Majesty this time is not an ordinary woman, but the sacred bone of our royal family, my king's sister, Princess Shengman."
"Even if he is like this, he is not worthy of me as a pilgrim." Wei Zheng did not show any dignity and scolded him in person.
Du Ruhui frowned slightly and reminded: "Wei Shangshu, this move of Silla is also to show our intention to our court."
The implication is, please keep your moral integrity.
Li Zhiyun thought for a moment, why does Princess Shengman sound familiar?
"I remember, don't your Silla holy women only marry holy men?"
Jin Chunqiu said: "His Majesty the Emperor is a born saint. It is a blessing for our country that Princess Shengman can serve His Majesty."
What he said made him feel aggrieved.
But there is no way, there is really no way, Silla is indeed inferior to the Tang Dynasty. The Silla royal family, in the eyes of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, is just a little foreign girl.
The Holy Bone Girl of Silla.
Li Zhiyun narrowed his eyes, and suddenly wanted to leave a backup plan in his heart. If Silla is captured in the future, this Holy Bone Girl might be a good sign.
"Well, since it is your wish, I will not refuse. However, I will let her stay in Chang'an first to learn the etiquette and culture of our dynasty. As for whether she can enter the palace, we will see the consequences."
Hearing this, Changchuan was overjoyed.
As long as Princess Shengman stays in Chang'an, he believes that with Princess Shengman's beauty, His Majesty the Emperor will not look down upon her.
"So, I agree," said Yan Chuan.
Next, is the tribute list from Silla.
Half an hour later, Li Zhiyun ordered the Ministry of Rites to hold a banquet to receive him, and then announced the dismissal of the court.
Political Hall.
Several prime ministers came to power one after another.
"This is what I have considered. If one day we conquer Silla, we can use this Holy Bone Girl to appease the land of Silla."
These words are a bit contrary to the ears of uninformed people, because just now the emperor accepted Silla, a younger brother, and ended up destroying it in the blink of an eye.
"That's it." Yang Gongren understood and said, "That's it, I have no objection."
In fact, his objection to this kind of thing was not strong, but he always felt that foreign girls were indeed not worthy of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Xue Shou asked: "Who does Your Majesty want to teach that Silla princess?"
"Let the court ladies go." Li Zhiyun didn't care, it was just a Silla princess, it was no big deal.
Besides, the Princess of Silla is just an ordinary person with some status in Chang'an.
Li Zhiyun stood up, walked to the window, and stood with his hands behind his back.
"The people of Silla are very scheming. This time they not only want me to be canonized by the court, but also want their princess to enter the palace. I am afraid that they are trying to use my power from the Tang Dynasty to scare Goguryeo and Baekje."
Wen Yanbo said: "Their new king is a woman, so there must be some people in the country who are dissatisfied. Baekje was watching from the side, so it is not surprising that he used this trick. I dare to ask your majesty, if Baekje attacks Silla in the future, how will our court respond?"
"
"Response?" Li Zhiyun sneered, "The mountains are high and the roads are far away, and we face each other across the sea. Naturally, we let them deal with it themselves. At the moment of the civil war in Goguryeo, if Baekje and Silla are fighting against each other, it will be difficult to tell the winner in a short time.
Even if the winner can be determined, when the time comes when the two countries stand side by side, there will be a fight. It will be the same to our government, it is of no importance."
Let's fight. The more intense the fight, the better. When they both lose, it will be the day when the Tang army will flatten that land!
After hearing this, several ministers nodded thoughtfully.
