In the twilight of March, spring has come to an end.

Chang'an is still prosperous.

And at this time, Jia Zhang, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, had already come to Silla.

Silla was only a very small country before, small and inconspicuous, and no one took them seriously at all.

It's just that there was a great chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and the Silla Kingdom took advantage of the situation to rise and became a force to be reckoned with in the north of the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, their regime is basically the same as that of Datang.

Such a country will always be a hidden danger for the Tang Dynasty, because they have the conditions to become a dynasty, and they are even more uneasy than the Turks.

No matter how strong the Turks were, they did not form a unified regime, and it is true that there are khans, but it is also a coalition of different tribes, and it is easier to break them.

But Silla is different, they have the conditions to become a dynasty, and it is possible for this dynasty to slowly become strong and influence the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin wanted to take action against Silla, not only because Silla did not come to pay tribute and did not give him face, but more importantly, he still wanted to get rid of this hidden danger.

However, at present, it is not the time for Datang to use troops against Silla.

That's why they sent Jia Zhang.

After Jajang entered the Silla Kingdom, he came to Gyeongju City, the capital of the Silla Kingdom.

Gyeongju Fortress is not big, and it is not even particularly prosperous.

Silla is a very small place, which was developed with the convenience of water conservancy and transportation, but if it develops, the surrounding countries are not strong and prosperous enough, and they Silla want to compare with the Tang Dynasty, but it is not possible.

Gyeongju, the capital of Silla, is similar to an ordinary state and county in the Tang Dynasty.

After Jia Zhang came to Gyeongju City, he couldn't help but feel a little fluttery when he saw the appearance of the Silla National Capital, and his heart was even more angry.

"Hmph, a small Silla country, the size of a state and county in my Datang, dares not to give me face in Datang, it's ridiculous, ridiculous."

Maybe it's because the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Turks, maybe it's because all the countries came to the court, and now Jia Zhang is very proud, and very arrogant, and he is a little disdainful of other Hu people and other small countries.

And he felt that he was more domineering, so that he could better demonstrate the majesty of the Tang Dynasty.

After settling down at the post house in Gyeongju City, Jia Chang sent someone to send some of their posts to the Silla Kingdom, and then all he needed to do was wait for the Silla Kingdom to summon him.

This is the practice of envoys, and it does not say that after the envoys come, they can directly meet the king of a country or the Son of Heaven or something.

Unless the country is particularly strong, and the country to which the envoy is sent is particularly weak, the Son of Heaven of the country still wants to be strong, so he will treat the envoy as if he were a guest.

Silla didn't even pay tribute, and it seemed unlikely that they would treat Jia Chang as a guest.

Therefore, Jia Zhang can only follow the rules.

Not long after Jia Zhang arrived in Gyeongju City, the Silla Kingdom had already received the news, and the first to get the news was Tian Yigen, the minister of Silla.

"Xiangye, our Silla country did not go to pay tribute, and the Tang Dynasty sent an envoy to come, it seems that he wants to ask the teacher to ask for guilt."

Jia Chang is now the general of Silla and the prime minister of Silla State, and he is not only amazingly powerful, but also a talent in governing the country and so on.

He conspired for a long time in Silla before finally taking control of the real power of Silla State.

Tian Yigen is in his forties, burly, with slender eyes, and when he is usually fine, he looks as if he is squinting, but when he opens it, his eyes don't look small.

The man who spoke was a young man in his thirties, this man was thin and had a mustache, and he looked a little funny, but he was Tian Yigen's think tank.

The reason why Tian Yigen was able to control the real power of Silla was related to Cui Ming's strategic support.

Hearing that Datang sent an envoy to come, Tian Yigen's eyes condensed slightly: "Datang sent an envoy to ask for guilt?" ”

Cui Bu nodded: "Yes, this Tang envoy looks very angry, and when he lived in the post house, he didn't give any good face." ”

Speaking of this, Cui Budao said: "Xiangye, we just controlled the real power of the Silla Kingdom, in order to worry that the king Cui Xianzhi asked the Tang Dynasty for help, so we did not send an envoy to the Tang Dynasty to pay tribute, and now they have sent an envoy to come, how can we be good, if the king sees this envoy, and this envoy has returned to Chang'an City, then the Tang Dynasty may come to fight with our Silla Kingdom." ”

After Cui didn't finish speaking, Tian Yigen suddenly snorted and said, "One battle is one battle, is my Silla country still afraid of their Tang Dynasty?" Our Silla country has a superior terrain, and it is not easy for the Tang army to defeat us, and Emperor Yang of Sui sent an army of 300,000 back then, didn't he return in vain? ”

For Datang, Tian Yigen's heart is contradictory, scared, not afraid, wants to provoke, but does not dare to provoke.

But if Datang really came, he was really not afraid.

After he finished saying this, Cui Bu said: "Xiang Ye is not afraid of the Tang Dynasty, this subordinate knows, but if you can avoid the war, you must try to avoid it, otherwise the war will start, and Xiang Ye's power will not be easy to control, Xiang Ye wants to fight, and after he sits in the position of the king of Silla, it will not be too late." ”

Now, Tian Yi has more control of the real power of the Silla Kingdom, but if a person has power in his hands, he will never be satisfied, he wants the real power, he still wants to save face, and he also wants his children and grandchildren to control the Silla Kingdom forever.

Then the only way, naturally, is to be the king.

If he can become the king of Silla, then his descendants will be able to inherit everything in Silla, right?

Tian Yigen has been preparing for the throne, and his meaning is to wait for everything to be stable, and let the current king of Silla, Cui Xianzhi, give up the throne, which is what the Tang people often call the Zen throne.

This method, he learned from Li Yuan, when Li Yuan became the emperor from the Tang Dynasty, wasn't it the emperor of the Sui Dynasty who gave up the throne to Chan, then he also learned it.

However, now that he is only in control of power, many officials and famous people in Silla do not approve of him, and Cui Xianzhi is by no means a young emperor who is easy to bully.

Therefore, if he wants to become the Son of Heaven, he still has a lot of things to do.

In this way, if there is really a war with the Tang Dynasty, if he wants to become the king of Silla, he will have to be in the soup, and even if he doesn't make the soup, he will have to delay for a long time.

This situation is not what he Tian Yi wants to see.

After hearing Cui Wu's words, Tian Yi thought for a moment, and then nodded: "You are right, now my Silla Kingdom is indeed not a good time to fight with the Tang Dynasty, so in your opinion, how should we deal with this Tang envoy?" ”

"Xiangye, if you want to deal with this matter, it's easy to do."
