After the meal, Jin Yuxin prepared to return to Silla in the rain all night, and Fang Xuanling also went to work. But Kinderman caught Zhang Chuchen's gaffe and left Chang'an City to guard the city.
No matter where Yang Ji and Zhang Chuchen went, she would follow them wherever they went. Of course, she was different from Pei Shuying, who was given free money. Pei Shuying had to worry about life, food and clothing. She had lived a life of fine clothing and food since she was a child. She just wanted to marry herself, Yang Ji, and have children for her sweetheart.
As a princess of Silla, Kinderman's fate is closely related to the national destiny of Silla. She is extremely talented in politics and is aware of the serious situation in Silla. She even vaguely feels that the destruction of Goguryeo may not be a good thing for Silla. .
On the one hand, Silla has been a country for a long time and has been inherited for seven to eight hundred years. During the internal fighting in Silla, more than a dozen political forces of equal strength were formed, and there were all kinds of intrigues and scheming. , and the major political forces formed a compromise
The "Peace and White Conference" was even higher than the royal authority;
Once the "Hebaek Conference" made a decision, the King of Silla did not even have the power to oppose or veto. What's more serious is that
The "Peace Conference" can even depose kings. On the other hand, Silla has been under attack from all aspects by Goguryeo, Baekje, and Japan in recent years. Although it can still survive, the various exorbitant taxes and military service imposed on the people have long squeezed out the country's potential.
The people work hard, but cannot even maintain the most basic livelihood. Sometimes they even rely on selling their daughters to survive. How can they feel loyalty and belonging to Silla and the Jin family?
Fortunately, there were powerful foreign enemies, so Silla managed to unite as one, share the same hatred, and fight against the foreign enemies.
Otherwise, you will collapse. However, Goguryeo is about to be destroyed, and the Sui Dynasty, Goryeo, Silla, and Baekje signed a covenant of peaceful coexistence under the leadership of Yang Ji. The problem caused by this is that Kinderman is worried that if Silla's external environment changes, After that, Silla's sharp internal conflicts suddenly broke out, and those political forces that were dissatisfied with her father were likely to make trouble and instigate the people to overthrow her father's rule.
These sudden realizations not only made Kinderman anxious, but he also believed that only with the political recognition of the Sui Dynasty could his father secure the throne; only by relying on the power of the Sui Dynasty to improve people's livelihood and restore the economy could Silla avoid to start the impending civil strife.
In order to gain recognition and help from the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jiyi was the most critical figure. Although Kinderman was ecstatic about the trade he promised, the surprise and Yang Ji's extremely casual way of speaking made her unconvinced and uneasy.
She was afraid that Yang Ji was just talking, so she began to worry about gains and losses, and from this she hoped to get accurate information.
Seeing Kinderman hanging up leisurely, Yang Ji and Zhang Chuchen simply took her to the side hall to drink tea.
"What else do you have?" Yang Ji looked at the frightened and beautiful girl in front of him as if he had made a mistake, and asked unhappily.
Kinderman felt the displeasure in Yang Ji's tone, and thought of all the rumors about Yang Ji's murderous behavior, and felt a little regretful and scared in her heart. However, her worry about the fate of the country finally made her muster up the courage and said quickly : "There will be great changes in Silla. I hope the king and the Sui Dynasty can help me." Yang Ji was stunned for a moment and asked curiously: "What happened in Silla?"
"Internal worries, lots of internal worries..." Seeing that she had aroused Yang Ji's curiosity, Kinderman breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. She wanted to ask for help, and did not dare to hide anything. She explained all the internal worries that she had just thought of. out.
Finally, he said: "Similar to Silla's internal worries, King Buyeo Jang of Baekje actually had the same problems. However, in recent years, while he gathered all domestic forces to jointly defend against foreign enemies, he also relied on the power of the Sui Dynasty to restore people's livelihood. In addition, he had great military power. He has made some gains, and now he has taken over the lower reaches of the Han River without any blood, thus making Baekje's status unshakable. If Buyeo Jang develops the economy step by step and eliminates dissidents, Baekje will undergo earth-shaking changes and even transform into Haedong. The most powerful country. This is definitely not a good thing for Silla and the reborn Goryeo, which are about to have civil strife." At this point, Kinderman secretly gritted his teeth and said bravely: "Even if Buyeo Jang doesn't dare to betray the alliance, no matter how hard it is, He dared to directly launch war against Silla and Goryeo, but he was able to support the opposition forces to eradicate his father and Gao Jianwu, and then used puppets to help him control Silla and Goryeo, which existed in name only, and thus de facto unified the Haidong Peninsula. If so, Baidu, which was developing everywhere, would Ji is bound to march north and become the close enemy of the Sui Dynasty." After hearing these words, Yang Jida was surprised.
He has always known that Kinderman is a very extraordinary woman, perhaps far inferior to Wu Zetian in history, but she is definitely a hero among women in the Guo Kingdom. Anyone who underestimates this woman will be unlucky and deceived.
I just didn't expect that she now has amazing and mature political wisdom. But after thinking about it, Yang Ji understood; in short, it was talent and growing environment that made Kinderman what she is today. Her situation is somewhat similar to
"The children of the poor will become rich early",
"Suffering makes people grow." Judging from their current performance, even if their father and daughter don't have the help of Sui Dynasty, Kinderman will have the last laugh and become the Queen of Silla.
After receiving no response for a long time, Kinderman couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Yang Ji, only to see him staring at her. His cheeks suddenly became dizzy and he whispered softly: "Your Majesty..."
"What you said makes sense, so what do you want?" Yang Ji looked at the little woman in front of him with a smile.
Kinderman saw that Yang Ji was not angry, so he smiled and said half-truthfully: "If the Baekje family dominates, it will not be a good thing for the Sui Dynasty, Silla, and Goryeo. It is better for the three parties to join forces and bring it down." defeat."
"Baekje is the most loyal follower of our Great Sui Kingdom. How can the Great Sui Dynasty be as treacherous and treacherous as your Silla? What's more, the Turkic Khanate across the continent, Goguryeo at its peak, and Tuyuhun and Khitan, which have long been inherited, have all been conquered by me. The Great Sui Dynasty was easily annihilated. How could Baekje dare to be an enemy of the Great Sui Dynasty? Maybe Buyeo Zhang is not a good person, but now you want to use the Great Sui Dynasty to deal with your own vassal country and your enemies of Silla, how can you be better?" Yang Ji shook his head. After all, the woman in front of him was still too young and too young to even say such ambitious words.
If it weren't for the fact that the Sui Dynasty's ruling power could not reach the barren Haidong Peninsula, and it needed to use the power of the Three Kingdoms to safeguard its own interests and security, Kinderman's words alone would have destroyed her and Silla.
Seeing what she was going to say, Yang Ji waved his hand: "They are all vassal states of the Sui Dynasty. The Sui Dynasty only looked at who was more loyal. For now, Baekje is far more loyal than Silla. You might say that Silla also wants to be in the New Year. Tributes will be paid every year, but Goguryeo blocks the tribute route, and it is very dangerous to set off by sea, so there is nothing we can do."
"However, the real problem is that you have sent fleets to pay tribute to Nanliang and Nanchen many times, but when you came to Sui Dynasty, you turned a deaf ear and ignored you. In the end, your Silla is still not sincere enough, otherwise, you would not As for not paying tribute to the Sui Dynasty, we will not invade Liaodong together with Goguryeo." Kinderman was speechless and did not dare to say anything more.
Even though Yang Ji said this, Kinderman's mention of internal and external troubles in the Fuyu chapter still attracted his attention, and he continued: "You want the Sui Dynasty to recognize the orthodoxy of the Silla king and help Silla get out of trouble? It's not impossible, but I have a request." Kinderman was already extremely disappointed. When he heard this, he quickly said: "If the king has any request, just say it, no matter what, I, Silla, will agree to it." Yang Ji saw Looking at Kinderman, he said word by word: "You stay and marry into the Sui Dynasty. As long as you become..."
"I am willing to join the Sui Dynasty to serve the king!" Kinderman is extremely smart and has amazing political talent, but he is not as good as Yang Ji.
"Foresight", she never thought that a woman could be a king, and she never thought that she could inherit the throne of Silla.
The reason why her father, Jin Baijing, had only one child was not because she was unable to have children, but because he had learned from past experiences and did not dare to approach women.
The last king, King Jinji, was a womanizer, loved married women and peach blossoms, and caused many people to lose their hearts.
It was considered "indecent" by He Bai Conference.
The name of "political chaos and debauchery" was deposed. And when Jin Baijing was pushed to the throne, he was like a puppet, and the situation at home and abroad was not conducive to him. How could he dare to be so beautiful?
It was based on these understandings that Kinderman felt that if she became Yang Ji's woman, she would be able to attract support from the Sui Dynasty to the troubled Silla and crisis-ridden father, so she agreed as if Yang Ji regretted it.
However, Yang Ji was shocked when he heard her statement. That was not what he meant. What he meant was to marry the clever Kinderman to a child of a certain clan, so that he could not only win over the powerful Queen of Silla, but also Can bring a talent to the royal family.
Yang Ji saw Zhang Chuchen looking at him strangely, so he said to Kinderman: "You misunderstood me. What I mean is that you married into the Sui royal family, so that we can establish a relatively close relationship." relationship, in this way, your father's throne will be stabilized because of you. Let's not talk about this for now..."
"What I want to say is that the men of the Sui Dynasty had a due responsibility to open up and expand the territory of the Sui Dynasty. Even if they died heroically and died in battle, it was a worthy death. But it does not mean that the lives of the men of the Sui Dynasty can be squandered arbitrarily. , does not mean that a man from the Sui Dynasty can go into trouble for his country. In short, it is best to put away your little thoughts, otherwise it will bring disaster to Silla. Do you understand? "
"Understood, thank you, Your Majesty." Kinderman bit his lip, his face slightly red, and he took it for granted. What kind of woman does the famous King Wei not have?
How can he be a simple person? It would be a big joke if I could persuade the other person with just a few words!
She was silent for a long time, and then said tentatively again: "By now, the king has attacked, Goguryeo is already in danger and is about to be destroyed. If it were us Silla or Baekje, we would definitely pursue the victory and destroy Goguryeo, but why does the king still want to keep it?" Goguryeo?" Yang Ji said calmly: "I, the Sui Dynasty, are neither greedy nor disdainful of barren and cold places. Therefore, although Goguryeo started this war, we are only regaining our lost homeland. We have no intention of destroying Goguryeo, but we just want to give an explanation to our own people. Therefore, after Gao Jianwu established the country, we need to change the name of Goguryeo to Goguryeo so that the court can give an explanation to the world. For the same reason, we also look down on Silla and Bai. Baekje's land." After glancing at the thoughtful Kinderman, Yang Ji continued: "I know what you are worried about! But since you have said it clearly, you also understand that I, Sui Dynasty, will not let Baekje You can rest assured about the invasion of Silla and Goryeo. You lack living supplies and strategic supplies, and we can provide them to you through trade. Regarding this, I will do what I say. After all, no one can live with money. "
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for clarifying the confusion!" Kinderman roughly understood Yang Ji's attitude: In Yang Ji's eyes, as long as Silla surrendered to the Sui Dynasty, it would be the same no matter who became the king of Silla. In addition, the Sui Dynasty would not interfere with the Three Kingdoms of Haidong. The more fierce the fight among the Haidong Three Kingdoms in the future, the more in line with the interests of the Sui Dynasty.
However, the Sui Dynasty's laissez-faire attitude will make Silla's future situation more difficult, and time and the strength of the Sui Dynasty's support have become particularly important to Silla. At the same time, it also strengthened her previous thoughts. .
In order to consolidate their power, Silla implemented
The "bone product system" divides Chinese people into three, six or nine grades according to their bloodline. Among them, the ruling class with the three surnames of Jin, Park, Xi, and Xi, who are at the top of Silla, are called
"Holy bones", holy bones can inherit the hereditary throne and official rank, and monopolize the bureaucracy, and have high power.
Including being kicked out for any reason
Nobles big and small at the level of "Holy Bones" are listed as
"True bone" has four levels: six-headed product, five-headed product, and four-headed product. and
The level of "bone product" also determines their career prospects and degree of respect. each
In order to maintain the purity of the bloodline, "Gupin" only allows internal intermarriage and never cross-level marriages.
Under the "bone product" class, there are also three-level products, two-level products, one-level products, civilians, slaves, etc.
The "non-bone" class could neither be an official nor live in a big house at this stage. Its status was different from that of merchants and slaves in the Sui Dynasty.
In this strict bone system, the heir to the throne of Silla can only be the descendant of the holy bone man and the holy bone girl.
As a princess of the "Holy Bones" class, Kinderman had no right to choose her marriage at all, but if she married into the Sui Dynasty because of Silla's interests, that would be another matter.
But Kinderman also knew that he had been impulsive just now. This kind of thing requires the help of his father and
The "Baihe Conference" needs support. If she makes the decision without authorization and breaks the rules, let alone her, even her father will be in bad luck.
Having said all the words, Kinderman's goal was achieved, Yang Ji was not angered, he did not dare to stay longer, and left obediently.
. . . After Kinderman left, Zhang Chuchen asked with a smile: "Sir, have you fallen in love with this little girl?"
"What I like about her is her talent. I want her to become a member of the royal family, not me." Yang Ji felt that he was not convincing enough, so he added: "What this woman wants is not small. She is a Silla girl." Most people can't control her. If she marries an ordinary member of the royal family, she won't be able to borrow much power. She can only help her husband's family honestly. Only when her husband's family is well can she have power. If she marries The powerful princes and princes will be harmed by her ambitions." This is Yang Ji's true words. After all, given his current status, what kind of beauty can't be found?
I just don't want to cause a big trouble for myself. The reason why I don't want Kinderman is the same as when I didn't want Li Ziquan's concubine.
In addition, compared to the Lee family of Zhaojun, the relationship between the Silla royal family is very messy. Kinderman’s parents, Kim Baekjeong and Mrs. Maya, are cousins; Kim Baekjeong is the son of Jin Tonglun and his biological aunt, Mrs. Wanhu. His great-grandfather, Jin Yuanzong, was born to King Ge Wen and his niece... Such chaos led to the creation of many kings who were said to be gifted and born with different appearances, but were actually deformed.
For example, Jin Baijing is
"Born with a strange appearance, his body has grown." It is said that he is eleven feet tall, and his niece Jin Shengman is also
"The body has grown, and the hands have grown longer than the knees." These are obviously abnormal symptoms. Kinderman looks quite normal, but who can guarantee that her offspring will not mutate?
Zhang Chuchen was convinced. After listening for so long, she also knew that Kinderman was as Yang Ji said, a very ambitious and smart woman.
She thought about it and smiled and said: "Most of the clan members are afraid that she will not like her." Yang Ji said so-called: "I just had a sudden idea, so forget it if I don't like her! If I take her away, It might cause the Haidong Three Kingdoms to lose balance."
"Really? She has such great abilities?"
"Of course!"
