Chapter 266 Call the Tang envoy! Make him kneel before the king and repent!

This is the case in the Tang Dynasty. If Cui Xiuye's words were expressed using the rabbit's jargon, they would be easy to understand.

We advise the New Zealand side not to act on its own, not to stretch its arms too far, and not to go further down the wrong path. At the same time, we hope that the New Zealand side will remain restrained and calm, and stop before it is too late. The lessons of the past are not far away, and it should not shoot itself in the foot.

But in the eyes of Silla people, aren’t you, the Tang envoy, too arrogant?

How dare you openly question our queen in the palace in front of so many ministers?

This is too arrogant!

What they couldn't accept the most was that it was bad enough to question the Queen, but they actually dared to accuse us of provoking border conflicts?

You know, when Cui Xiuye ​​spoke just now, although he said "King of Silla", his eyes were actually looking at the ministers of Silla.

How could the Silla officials, who already had some dissatisfaction with the Tang Dynasty, tolerate such bossing around by the Tang Dynasty envoys?

In fact, the envoys of the Tang Dynasty had this kind of temper. Not only the Tang Dynasty, but the envoys of the Han Dynasty also had bad tempers.

The Han envoys claimed to be envoys, but in fact they were somewhat of a fraud. They would rather die for the country than give the Han Dynasty a reason to send troops.

Of course, the most outrageous Han envoy is the one who sleeps with the queen mother. Good children should never learn this...

But then again, Cui Xiuye ​​didn't think what he said was excessive, and he didn't deliberately want to provoke Silla's anger.

In Cui Xiuye's view, the status of an envoy from a superior state is second only to the ruler of a small country. To put it bluntly, I am just a small envoy among you Silla ministers.

Isn't it natural for a father to teach his son a lesson?

"The angel is too arrogant!" Kim Yu-shin said coldly. As a famous general of Silla, he naturally had a hot temper.

Hearing this, Cui Xiuye ​​frowned.

"I am only giving you advice. Of course, you don't have to accept it." Cui Xiuye's face fell. "As for the consequences, it's nothing more than what you sow, what you reap."

"you……"

Before Kim Yu-shin could speak, he was stopped by Kim Chun-chu.

"The angel has come from afar to admonish the Great Tang for its orders. As ministers of a lower country, we will naturally obey." Jin Chunqiu smiled and said, "Please rest assured, angel. We will strictly follow the Great Tang's teachings and never forget them for a moment!"

“That’s the best.” Cui Xiuye ​​nodded with satisfaction: “It seems that not all people in Silla are ignorant of human language.”

After hearing this, the Silla ministers really wanted to get angry, but the Queen Kim Seung-man was standing there, looking at them with intimidating eyes, so even if they were anxious, it was of no avail.

It's a bit like why the king surrendered first when we were about to fight to the death.

They could only lower their heads in humiliation and no longer look up at Cui Xiuye.

Cui Xiuye ​​was also very satisfied with their performance and didn't say anything else. He even made a few jokes with Jin Chunqiu.

Jin Chunqiu naturally smiled along, for he understood the gap between the Tang Dynasty and Silla. If the Tang Dynasty used all its national strength to destroy Silla, they would be killed without a burial place.

He didn't understand why someone would want to provoke a giant just for a tiny profit.

Don’t they know that this behemoth can destroy their wealth and glory with just a flick of its finger?
That afternoon, Silla Queen Kim Seung-man invited Choi Soo-ye to a banquet.

This time when eating the army pot again, Cui Xiuye’s filter was gone.

When eating, I always felt something was strange and a little nauseous, for fear that what I was eating was the dried meat from the Tang army camp.

However, considering that this was a banquet at the Silla royal palace, these things would probably not be served, so Cui Xiuye ​​ate it reluctantly.

"Angel, is it not to your liking?" Jin Shengman asked with concern.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am just a little tired from traveling on the way, so I have no appetite." Cui Xiuye ​​answered very upright. When he was not announcing an imperial decree, his etiquette was impeccable.

Jin Chunqiu stroked his beard while looking at Cui Xiuye, and sighed that he was truly worthy of being an envoy from a superior country and a model of a distinguished family for generations.

While a banquet was being held in the palace, the family of Kimbitsan was in mourning.

"Jin Shangdang, it's absolutely true." Yin De said with great sorrow, "That Tang envoy is really arrogant, he doesn't care about the dignity of the king at all, and he yelled at us in the court meeting, and he didn't take Silla seriously at all!"

"Gold is the best!" All the nobles cried together: "If the best is not available, what will happen to the common people?"

Hearing this, Jinbitan was already panting like a cow.

It’s nothing, I’m just angry.

He grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it to the ground with force, making a crackling sound.

"Fuck, why does the court keep these troops!" Jin Bitan pointed outside the door and cursed angrily, "They can't even deal with a Tang envoy, and you let him show off in the court?!"

"Go, bring people to capture him! Make him kneel before the king and repent! This is a matter of dignity for our Great Silla!"

You know what, after Jinbitan vented like that, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment and no one dared to respond.

We can't really capture the Tang envoy, right? This is an extremely bad diplomatic incident!

Even a country as arrogant as Japan did not dare to treat Gao Biaoren in any way.

Even if Gao Biaoren argued with the Emperor of Japan about etiquette and demanded that he kneel facing north to receive the order of the Emperor of the Great Tang Dynasty, wouldn't Japan still have to send Yoshihimo Maro and Kuromaro as envoys to accompany him to Tsushima Island?

Some words should just be said out loud and clear, but if you take them seriously, it will embarrass your brothers.

"Gold is the best!" Yin De fell to the ground, crying bitterly, unable to stop.

Lian Zong suddenly said, "Sir, today in the court, General Jin Yuxin was dissatisfied with the arrogance of the Tang envoy and spoke out to refute him, but the Tang envoy retorted. I see that he is still trying to refute. If it weren't for that insect Jin Chunqiu forcibly suppressing him, I'm afraid he would have fought with the Tang envoy..."

After hearing this, Jinbitan, who was originally a little embarrassed, immediately became interested.

Kim Yu-shin was a famous general of Silla, controlling a quarter of the military power in the Gyeonggi region.

Currently, Kim Bitam controls only three-eighths of the military force. If he can gain the support of Kim Yu-shin, the ratio of his military force to the opposition will immediately become five to three.

Five to three, this is an absolute advantage!
"You mean, General Kim Yu-shin..." He was immediately attracted.

“Sir, I am thinking that if we can win over General Kim Yu-shin…” Lian Zong stretched out his hand and grabbed.

"Hmm..." Jin Bidan was very tempted, but then shook his head and rejected it: "No, no, General Jin Yuxin's son married the daughter of Jin Chunqiu, the insect. How can he cooperate with us? This is absolutely not possible."

"You are wrong, sir. As the saying goes, different times have different circumstances." Lian Zong continued to add fuel to the fire: "At today's court meeting, I saw that General Kim Yu-shin was quite dissatisfied with that insect Kim Chun-chu. I think we can try to win him over." "Yes, sir!" everyone said.

After hearing this, Jinbitan also thought it was worth a try.

So he took a deep breath, and then said to everyone: "Tomorrow is the time to punish the traitors according to the will of heaven. I will go to General Jin Yuxin's house and win his support!"

Kim Bitam has always been a man of action, and he immediately set off for Kim Yu-shin's house.

To be honest, Kim Yu-shin was very dissatisfied with Kim Chun-chu's attitude today.

In his opinion, the Tang envoys are arrogant and it doesn't make sense for you to take sides.

After Kim Bitam arrived at the mansion, Kim Yu-shin had a quarrel with him.

After confirming each other's true intentions, the two hit it off.

Kim Bitam gave Kim Yu-shin an offer that he could not refuse, which was to support Kim Yu-shin as regent.

This condition was really tempting, and Kim Yu-shin agreed immediately.

He was not afraid that Kim Bitam would go back on his word. After all, his parents were only real bones, while his mother, Kim Yu-shin, were holy bones.

If it comes to the next turn, he can only choose between Jin Chunqiu, whose father is a sacred bone, and him, whose mother is a sacred bone.

Now Jin Bitan wants to get rid of Jin Chunqiu, so isn’t he the only one left?

It sounds outrageous, but in Silla... this is really the rule.

"It's just..." Jin Yuxin was still a little hesitant: "After all, the Tang Dynasty is the suzerain of Silla. If there is a coup in Silla and a new king is appointed, what if the Tang Dynasty uses this as an excuse to interfere in Silla's internal affairs?"

"Oh, haven't you heard that when the Tian family replaced the Qi family, didn't the Zhou royal family just let it go?" Jin Bitan, who was well versed in Chinese history, immediately gave an example.

"But when Tian replaced Qi, the Zhou royal family was already weak. Even if he wanted to, he was powerless." Jin Yushin raised objections.

Jin Bitan thought for a moment and tried to persuade him again: "In the past, during the reign of King Zhao of Zhou, Duke You of Lu's younger brother killed his brother and established himself as king. The Zhou royal family also let it go and did not send troops to attack him. In addition, the Tang Dynasty spent a lot of money to pacify Goguryeo, and exempted the head tax in the country for one year. In the short term, it is unable to go to war with Silla."

"And we should not harm the Tang envoy. We should just protect him and escort him out of the country with courtesy. We should treat him with respect throughout the journey. After the mutiny is successful, we should immediately submit a petition to the Tang Dynasty to request the title of emperor."

"The Tang Dynasty is now unable to start a war, so we can only accept it. General Jin, don't worry."

Since King Zhao of Zhou had been mentioned and facts and reason had been presented, Kim Yu-shin felt relieved.

After all, during the reign of King Zhao of Zhou, the Zhou emperor was still a very powerful entity. Compared with the strength of the State of Lu, the gap was as huge as the gap between the Tang Dynasty and Silla today.

Many people believe that King Wu of Zhou began to divide the land, and the Zhou royal family had no control over the local areas, which was far inferior to the great unification of Qin.

But in fact, they don’t know that the beginning of centralization defined by historians was from the Zhou Dynasty.

At first glance, it can be determined that this is caused by fan clubs who are ignorant of history.

From the first year of King Wu of Zhou until the thirty-ninth year of King Xuan of Zhou, when the elite eight divisions of Chengzhou were annihilated in the Battle of Qianmu, the Zhou royal family had an absolute deterrent effect on the local areas.

At that time, the King of Zhou controlled the six armies of Zongzhou and the eight armies of Chengzhou, and he would attack anyone who showed up.

The six divisions of the Zongzhou Army were named because they were stationed in the Zongzhou area, which is the location of Haojing. Because Haojing was in the west, they were also called the Western Six Divisions.

The Eight Divisions of Chengzhou were named because they were stationed in the Chengzhou area, which is where Luoyang is located. Because Luoyang is in the east, they are also called the Eastern Eight Divisions. Moreover, because their initial stage was when Duke Zhou put down the rebellion of the Three Supervisors and then divided their troops to be stationed to monitor the remnants of Yin, they were also called the Eight Divisions of Yin.

According to the Zhou system, one division consisted of 3,000 people. You can figure out the value of the 14th division in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Even in Japan two thousand years later, this would still be an extremely impressive existence.

You laugh at the Zhou royal family's feudal system, but the Zhou royal family says that they have maintained their oppression over the local areas for 257 years. What kind of people are you to come and challenge me?
How many dynasties have maintained such deterrent power?
The decline of the Zhou royal family also began more than ten years later when King You of Zhou lost his country and King Ping of Zhou moved eastward.

However, Jinbitan forgot that the Zhou emperor's lack of kingly way began when he allowed the State of Lu to kill its king and establish itself as the emperor.

The lack of the kingly way does not refer to the lack of strength of the Zhou royal family, but the lack of "the kingly way".

The so-called kingly way is the authority of the Zhou emperor.

In the autumn of July in the fourteenth year of King Zhao of Zhou, a coup d'état took place in the State of Lu. Ji Fei, the younger brother of the Marquis of Lu, killed his elder brother Ji Zai, the Duke of Lu, seized the throne and proclaimed himself the Duke of Wei.

King Zhao allowed such a heinous act to occur. He neither sent troops to suppress it nor brought an army to punish the culprit. As a result, the phenomenon of the strong bullying the weak occurred repeatedly throughout the country, and the government became distorted.

Just like during the reign of Li Zhi, the Tang Dynasty allowed other countries to attack and destroy its vassal states without providing any rescue. The system of the Tang Emperor "Heavenly Khan" began to collapse after it lost credibility during the reign of Li Zhi.

Now that Li Xiang is in the court, he will naturally not allow such a thing to happen openly.

We are all decent people, right? What can we talk about? What? You said you killed the king and usurped the throne? Bah, disgusting, I turned off the lights!
As the Khan whose status is equivalent to that of the Zhou emperor, he naturally cannot ignore such vicious political events happening in the vassal states.

This is the way the Tang Dynasty must follow, and its authority must never be damaged.

After Kim Yu-sin accepted Kim Bit-dam's invitation to "execute the traitors in accordance with the will of heaven", Kim Bit-dam's military strength gained an advantage.

The neutral cavalry faction also ceased to exist and secretly fell under the command of Jinbitan.

Cui Xiuye ​​was certainly unaware of the secret turmoil in the Silla capital. He was currently in a Silla inn, enjoying a massage from a Silla maid.

Silla maids, Kunlun slaves, and Bodhisattva barbarians are known as the three major hobbies of the Tang Dynasty nobles.

Although he was arrogant, Silla really didn't dare to do anything to him.

Even if there was any unrest in Silla, he would still be alive and well in Silla, safe and sound.

"Carrying out the will of heaven and punishing traitors" within Silla would be chaos; but killing the Tang envoys would be rebellion.

Even if Jinbitan went insane, he had to send Cui Xiuyeli out of the country.

There is no other reason. Even if it comes into conflict with the Tang Dynasty in the future, it is still a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty in name.

If you want to establish a new king, you still have to accept the enthronement of the Tang Dynasty.

Yes, Silla was so twisted. It was also the case in history. After driving the Tang Dynasty out of the peninsula, it went to the court to apologize and accepted the Tang Dynasty's enthronement.

At that time, Li Zhi was overwhelmed by the Tubo in the southwest. The defeat at Dayuechuan was a serious blow to his vitality, and he had no time to care about the affairs of Silla.

So they just went with the flow and accepted Silla's request just to save face.
