"If I went to Silla, you wouldn't say that I'm half Silla, right?" Tang Ping asked with some ill intentions.
Jin Minjun stopped asking this question.
Even the dullest person can hear the displeasure in Tang Ping's words.
Jin Minjun didn't know why he offended Tang Ping. Could it be that he didn't leave a gift for him when he went to Chang'an last time?
But no matter what, Tang Ping is the Duke of Ping of the Tang Dynasty. Not to mention that he is just one of the sons of the Silla King. Even if the Silla King comes, he can't afford to offend him.
So he quickly apologized and said: "My words are unreasonable. If I have offended the Duke of the State, please forgive me."
Seeing Jin Minjun's frightened look, Tang Ping couldn't really do anything.
Everyone knows that Silla is close to the Tang Dynasty, while Baekje and Goguryeo are on the contrary. If he did what happened to Jin Minjun, it would be inappropriate to spread the news.
At this moment, Gou Shaoqun beside him came over.
"Brother Ping, can't you stand this country thief?"
To say that it was Tang Ping, his two gay friends, who understood him better, now even Wang Qingluan and Gu Xiaotang didn't know why Tang Ping was so unhappy.
Gu Xiaotang thought Tang Ping was jealous because of Silla’s marriage proposal.
"What? Do you have any idea?"
As soon as Tang Ping heard Young Master Gou's tone, he knew that he must have a crooked idea.
"Don't the thieves like to steal our things and always say that our things belong to them? Now that we are powerful, we can just ask them to erect stone monuments everywhere in the country to clearly indicate that those things are ours. Wouldn't that be great?"
This idea seemed a bit absurd, but when Tang Ping thought about it carefully, it seemed that it was actually feasible.
"Ahem..." Tang Ping coughed twice, cleared his throat, and then looked at Jin Minjun seriously.
Jin Minjun was also frightened by Tang Ping's appearance, but he didn't dare to ask casually unless Tang Ping said anything.
And Tang Ping would not just make such a strange request.
So he first asked: "Does the prince know that our Tang Dynasty Navy is fighting against the Wei Dynasty in the South China Sea recently?"
Jin Minjun thought that Tang Ping wanted to show off his achievements, so he quickly flattered him and said: "Ping Guogong led the Tang Dynasty East China Sea Fleet and became famous in Southeast Asia. The name of his bravery has spread all over the world. How could he not know?"
"Hahaha, actually this battle is really not easy!" Tang Ping smiled and recounted the story of his battle in Nanyang, and even exaggerated it a bit. In his mouth, the Wei navy in Nanyang was powerful. There were five hundred battleships, but they were beaten to pieces by a hundred cannons.
Now that the Wei Dynasty has been destroyed, and the remaining navy has been absorbed by Srivijaya, here it is no matter what Tang Ping says.
And he didn't say it was too false, he just exaggerated the combat capabilities of the Tang Dynasty Navy, but everyone in the audience was either excited or frightened.
Of course, these are all foreshadowing. At the end, Tang Ping said to Jin Minjun: "I heard that Baekje and Goguryeo are quite disobedient recently, so I plan to wait for the East China Sea Fleet to come back and receive the title, and then send them to visit your area."
When Jin Minjun heard this, his face almost twisted with a smile. He thought Tang Ping was really angry just now, but it seemed that he had completely misunderstood.
Isn't this the purpose of fawning over Tang Ping so much?
Silla was the weakest among the Three Kingdoms, and it could only survive by relying on the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, or by being able to hold it tightly.
If the Tang Dynasty could send the most powerful East China Sea Fleet to give Silla a platform and carry a message, then Silla's recent life would definitely be easier.
In fact, Tang Ping was not just trying to fool Jin Minjun.
After returning to China this time, he went to the Xiande Hall once. At that time, most of the important officials of the court were there.
There is only one purpose, which is to completely unify the Central Plains Continent.
Now that East Vietnam has been peaceful, the current leader of the Miao Man Kingdom, Li Caichen, personally signed a letter of credence and was willing to submit to the Tang Dynasty. Then most of the scattered small tribal countries in the south are also willing to submit to the Tang Dynasty. Others who are not willing can be dealt with easily.
The entire Tang Dynasty had only two enemies left on this continent. One was Tubo, which was located on the southwest plateau.
One is Hou Junji, a traitor to the Tang Dynasty who was separatist.
For example, Baekje and Goguryeo were not really afraid of the Tang Dynasty.
It's just that the county magistrates are not as good as the current ones. No matter how powerful the Tang Dynasty is, they have to deal with Hou Junji in the middle before they can reach them.
And Hou Junji's cavalry is right on the border, so now they can only survive by relying on Hou Junji.
On the contrary, Silla is in the south, and Baekje and Goguryeo are separated from Houjunji in the middle. Now Baekje and Goguryeo will not casually send troops to consume their own strength to attack Silla.
If Hou Junji is really beaten by the Tang Dynasty, they will still have some ability to protect themselves. In other words, when Hou Junji is really beaten, they can use these powers to stab Hou Junji. If you can make some contributions in the future, you won't be afraid of Datang's liquidation in the future.
"It's just that I, Datang, also need to get rid of Silla Kingdom and do something for us."
"It should, it should." There is no free lunch in the world, and Jin Minjun certainly knows that.
As for what Datang wants them to do, they can listen first and then talk about it. If the thing is simple, just do it directly. If it's too difficult, just cry here and say you can't do it.
"I need Silla to carve stone tablets in front of the capital palace and in front of each state capital."
"Carve... a stone tablet?" Jin Minjun was stunned. Just now, he went through all the possible requests that Tang Ping made in his mind. He even thought of the Beiyan Protectorate who asked Silla to send troops to attack Hou Junji.
But no one would have imagined that Tang Ping's request was actually this?
"What? Is this difficult to do?" Tang Ping showed displeasure.
"No, no, no, no!" Jin Minjun quickly shook his head in denial. What's so difficult about this? Isn't it just carving stone tablets? In China, just dig up a few large rocks and have them carved by a mason.
Apart from the imperial palace, there are only a few state capitals in the country. How many stone tablets can be engraved on them?
"I just don't know what Duke Ping wants to engrave on the stone tablet?"
"Actually, I asked you to carve stone tablets to educate the people of Silla. Haven't you Silla people always admired our Tang Dynasty culture? Just carve the origins of various cultures of our Tang Dynasty on the stone tablets."
"Is it that simple?" Jin Minjun still didn't believe that such a good thing could happen.
"It's that simple. Let's take some notes. It mainly includes but is not limited to things like Dragon Boat Festival, Spring Festival, paper fans, lanterns..."
Li Shan also added: "There is no such thing as Korean medicine, it's all based on traditional Chinese medicine!"
So the scene turned into a chattering chatter by Tang Ping, while Li Shan and Gou Shaoqun were supplementing on the side.
As for Jin Minjun, he was nodding his head and writing furiously like a chicken eating rice.
But he had a question in his mind. These things originally belonged to the Tang Dynasty. Even in Silla, many of them learned from them because they admired the Tang Dynasty. Is it necessary to set up a special monument to record them?
But no matter what, if Ping Guogong said to erect a monument, just erect a monument, it is not a big deal. Even if he is just the son of the king, he believes that if he goes back to tell his father such a simple condition, he will not object at all.
