It is completely true, and it is basically consistent with everyone's guesses. The withdrawal of the soldiers of the Kingdom of the Sun was a rumor deliberately spread by the fourth child.
But there was an extremely critical issue that no one had expected, and that was about rushing to aid Silla.
The fourth child is evil. He not only wants to cheat Goguryeo and Baekje, he also wants to cheat Silla. From the beginning to the end, he has never thought about helping Silla sincerely. He just wants Silla to contain Baekje while fighting. Goguryeo, while waiting for the fisherman to profit.
You definitely have to send troops, and you have to help Silla, but you can only help in the early stages.
The general meaning is that in the early stage, they led Silla to kill Baekje, so that there was an irresolvable blood feud between Baekje and Silla. By then, Daechang's army could be passive and sabotage, and Baekje was completely ruined. There is no way to negotiate peace with Silla even if you want to.
For Lao Si, Silla, Goguryeo and Baekje were all foreign races. It was not that he did not want the Silla family to dominate, but he did not want to leave any country on this peninsula, not even the surrendered countries.
"Leave no one behind?" Chu Qing gasped as he heard this: "Your Majesty, this is too...too...too much."
The Supreme Emperor seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "Too much, too inconsistent, or turning your back on others?"
"I have them all, but I feel like they don't follow the rules of the world."
"rule?"
The Supreme Emperor showed a rare serious look on his face, shook his head and said: "This bastard Lao Si said that if he follows the rules, then when the prince succeeds to the throne, he will have to follow other people's rules. If he is called a name, he will just carry it on his back. He will go back on his word. How about, if everything in this world is governed by rules, where do all the disputes come from? Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla are connected to our Dachang by land. Who can guarantee that in ten years or a hundred years, the Three Kingdoms will not become our Dachang? Border troubles, even the weakest Silla, were weak yesterday and weak today, so what will happen tomorrow? Think of Liangrong hundreds of years ago, they were just a group of herdsmen riding horses wandering on the grassland, but since the beginning of the dynasty, How many more of our Dachang people have they killed?"
Chu Qing nodded, there was no need to violate his conscience, he agreed from the bottom of his heart.
This is what he admires about Lao Si. If he says he is shameless, then there is no shame left. If there is any shame left, it is not Huang Lao Si.
In fact, during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the three kingdoms all had more or less threats. Even Silla, who looked the most honest, had the ambition to occupy the northeast. For thousands of years, there have been many wars, but they have changed. It's just the name of the country.
"And the Queen of Silla is not a good man and a believer. She handed over the national seal to me, Dachang. Her scheming is unparalleled. All she does is to use strength. Today, she has to endure humiliation for my Dachang. In the future, her foundation will be solid. Since Luo is the only one in the family, it will inevitably become a disaster."
"What you said makes sense." Chu Qing raised his hands and feet in agreement: "I don't understand anything else, and I don't see it as deeply as you. But if I, my nephew, tell me, this is a man who is both crazy and extremely sophisticated. woman."
The Supreme Emperor's eyes lit up, and he didn't know what he was thinking of. He said with a smile: "God's will, it seems that it is God's will. Since Qing'er is here, then you can do this errand for me."
"Errand?"
"The alliance with Silla."
"Are you going to form an alliance with Silla?"
"Yes, originally this errand was supposed to be done by that bastard Chengyan, and I decided to lead Fuling's men to attack the hinterland of Goguryeo. However, after careful consideration, Lao Jiubi is the King of Qi of our Dachang Dynasty. It would be a compliment if he went there. Silla."
Chu Qing laughed dumbly: "You are the Supreme Emperor, why not be as good as a prince?"
"In your eyes, Qing'er, I am the Supreme Emperor, the father of the fourth and ninth sons, but in the eyes of everyone in the world..."
After a pause, the Supreme Emperor laughed at himself: "I am just an old loser who was forced to abdicate by his fourth son."
"That's because you want to have fun and be happy. Who's to blame?"
Unsurprisingly, Chang Ao started wagging again.
If Chu Qing said that he was doing it for the people of the world, the Supreme Emperor would not accept it, because if he said it was for the people of the world, wouldn't it mean that he knew that he was not capable enough and gave the throne to the fourth child?
But if you say you voluntarily abdicated for the sake of happiness, it seems quite irresponsible. In fact, it is a lot of fun. Men like to brag and pretend.
Patting Chu Qing's thigh, the Supreme Emperor said sternly: "Your child's name is very prestigious among the three countries of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla. What's even more rare is that everyone in the world knows that your child behaves erratically. , you couldn’t be more suitable for this job.”
"Me?" Pointing to himself, Chu Qing shook his head repeatedly: "Don't be kidding me. How can I do this? I have trouble leading troops in battles. I rely on my brothers to make suggestions."
"That's wrong. You bloodbathed Honglu Temple several times and took away the errands of Honglu Temple. After I found out, I slept...and drank three big bowls in a row. I felt refreshed. It was just like being in the capital. I just wanted to If you do it according to sex, you can trick Silla to death."
Look at the use of the word "Tai Shang Huang", it shows bloodbath.
Chu Qing thought for a few seconds and generally understood.
The most suitable person to go to Silla is Chen Yan, but Chen Yan is the least suitable person.
Because this guy is the King of Qi, a real minister of Conglong. When Huang Laosi was still the prince, Chen Yan was his right-hand man. Now that he has been granted the title of King of Qi, he is extremely respected, second only to the prince, and can be said to be more powerful than the prince Chang Xian. A little stronger.
If they really represented Dachang, they would instead promote Silla and make Silla think that Dachang still valued them.
The Supreme Emperor is different. In the eyes of the world, he is just an old loser. He has been forced to abdicate. Going to represent Dachang is almost the same as being exiled. Another one is a bit too much.
As for Chen Yan, his status is too noble.
As for the Supreme Emperor, it stretches his hips too much.
Then Chu Qing is a good choice.
You said that the Chang Dynasty valued Silla. Chu Qing's reputation was well known all over the world. He would fall out whenever he wanted, just like the monkeys in Mount Emei.
You said that the Chang Dynasty did not pay attention to Silla. Chu Qing's status in the Chang Dynasty was well known to the world. He would fall out whenever he wanted, just like a monkey living in Mount Emei.
The key lies in the fact that Chu Qing is so flexible in terms of "being a human being".
He could be very happy for a second, saying to help Goguryeo. With his status, in one sentence, it was normal to mobilize tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops.
He can say that he is troubled at this second and that he will not help. With his virtue, in one sentence, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops can leave at will and beat anyone who stops them.
He could even say in the next second that he liked Baekje, and then help Baekje beat up Silla!
This is Chu Qing's international reputation, he is so maneuverable.
"Sure." Chu Qing smiled slightly: "I won't have to worry about you anymore. I'll go over to my nephew, who happens to be free."
"only…"
A trace of worry flashed across the face of the Supreme Emperor, as if he was hesitant to speak.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. There's nothing else we can't say."
The Supreme Emperor laughed dumbly: "I will probably turn against Silla in the future. It is meaningless for the Fourth Brother to bear this infamy, but you will also follow..."
This time it was Chu Qing's turn to wail.
The Supreme Emperor did not smile, but sighed slightly.
Although I know Chu Qing's reputation, as an elder, I don't want my children to always be stigmatized.
"That's fine, anyway, you are a living beast in the capital, and the world will scold you. But in the eyes of Chang Ao, Qing'er is my great nephew."
Chu Qing: "Great nephew."
"That's right, great nephew."
