Jin Jingxin continued: "My lord, my king sent a subordinate to ask the Celestial Empire for guilt, and the subordinate official knows that the lord has a great right to speak in this matter, and please ask your lord to say a few good words for my king in front of the emperor of the Celestial Empire!" ”

Han Zheng smiled and said nothing.

Liu Donglin said: "Lord Jin, no wonder your lord can't fight the queen mother's party, don't you even know that my Tang Dynasty is now ruled by the regent, not by the emperor?" ”

Jin Jingxin's face changed, and he was shocked: "What? The Celestial Empire now has a regent presiding over the government instead of an emperor? This ······ When did this happen? ”

"It's been almost ten years!"

Jin Jingxin looked remorseful: "No wonder, the envoys sent by our country in Chang'an are members of the Queen Mother's party, they must have been hiding this matter, for nearly ten years, my king has not even gotten any news!" ”

Suddenly, Jin Jingxin suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly ordered the entourage standing next to him: "Quick, go and bring over the things prepared by the official!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

After a while, the entourage returned with a delicate brocade box in both hands, Jin Jingxin carefully took it with both hands and put it on the table and pushed it in front of Han Zheng and said: "In any case, please ask your lord to speak for my king in front of the regent, this is my king's little heart to the adult, if it happens, my king will have a generous gift!" As for the regent and emperor of the Celestial Empire, my king has already prepared tribute and can send it to Chang'an at any time! ”

After speaking, Jin Jingxin didn't forget Liu Donglin, and said to Liu Donglin: "Lord Liu, your share is also ready, and I will ask my entourage to send it to you later!" ”

Liu Donglin hurriedly said: "This matter is mainly in Lord Han, and I can't help, so Lord Jin doesn't have to be busy!" ”

"That's okay, it must be, it must be!"

saw Han Zheng stretch out his hand to open the brocade box, and when the brocade box opened a gap, a ray of light shot out of the brocade box, Han Zheng and Liu Donglin both saw their hearts skip a beat.

As the brocade box slowly opened, more and more light came out of the brocade box, and in an instant, it illuminated the dim hall just now, Han Zheng squinted his eyes, Liu Donglin was stunned, and his facial expression seemed to be frozen, it turned out that there was a fist-sized pearl in this brocade box, which was shining with gold, soft luster, with a rainbow halo, and was in excellent condition.

Han Zheng and Liu Donglin have seen this thing, and they have seen a lot, but it is the first time that the two of them have seen such a fist-sized pearl, how young is this pearl? That mussel shell only had to be the size of a round table to produce such a large pearl.

Although Han Zheng was shocked that this pearl was so big and in excellent condition, he quickly came back to his senses, covered the brocade box and said with a smile: "The lord of your country is really sincere enough, okay, this thing has been received by the official, and the official will write a chapter today, and send eight hundred miles to Chang'an urgently tomorrow!" ”

Jin Jingxin was overjoyed, and immediately arched his hand and said: "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" ”

Han Zheng waved his hand and said: "This official can speak well for the lord of your country in front of the regent, but the official can't interfere too much in the matter of marching and fighting, before the new edict of the regent arrives, the battle still has to be fought, Li Dashuai will not stop because of your arrival, if the lord of your country wants to get rid of the control of the queen mother's party and control the military and political affairs of Silla State, the key lies in you!" ”

"Xiaguan?" Jin Jingxin pointed at himself and was stunned for a moment, and asked, "My lord, I don't know what the lower officials can do?" ”

Han Zheng said: "We need the deployment map of the Empress Dowager's party in various places and the situation of the guards of each pass and city!" Lord Kim, you should be able to provide these things, right? ”

Jin Jingxin hesitated: "This ······"

Han Zheng said: "Lord Jin, you should understand that if the lord of your country takes back what belongs to him, it is absolutely impossible not to eradicate the power of the Queen Mother's party, and only by eradicating the power of the Queen Mother's party can the lord of your country be pro-government without hindrance!" ”

Jin Jingxin is still a little hesitant, he understands the situation of the deployment of troops, and he also understands the situation of the various passes and city guards in Silla, but if he tells all these to the Tang army, the Silla country will inevitably be defeated and suffer huge losses, even if the queen mother's party is eradicated, otherwise the national strength will be weakened, and the price is too great, and his purpose here is just to let the Tang army force the queen mother to give up power and let Jin Ganyun take the government, but he has no idea of really helping the Tang army to attack Silla.

This is a petty official who walked in from outside the door, and this person reported to Han Zheng: "My lord, the Silla Kingdom has sent an envoy, and Li Dashuai has invited your Excellency to come over!" ”

Han Zheng was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "Send an envoy again?" After speaking, he looked at Jin Jingxin.

Jin Jingxin immediately said: "It must be sent by the Queen Mother's party!" May I ask you, what is the name of this envoy? ”

The petty officer did not answer.

Han Zheng nodded, and the junior official said, "It's called Jin Zhizhen!" ”

"It turned out to be him!" Jin Jingxin gritted his teeth and said to Han Zheng and Liu Donglin: "Two adults, this Jin Zhizhen is the number one minion of the Queen Mother, who is cruel and murderous, and his methods are cruel and vicious. Please order this official to be killed immediately, so that the Queen Mother will lose an arm! ”

Han Zheng shook his head and said: "This is not good, Lord Jin, how can Jin Zhizhen say that he is also an envoy sent by the Silla State, since ancient times, there has been a tradition that the two countries are at war without killing the envoys, this is the rule, and the rules cannot be broken at will!" ”

At this time, Liu Donglin asked: "Lord Jin, I'm very strange, why are all your Silla officials surnamed Jin?" Could it be that the people of the new country of Shonra are all surnamed Kim? ”

Kim Kyung-shin explained: "Of course not, we have many surnames in Silla, but there are only three royal surnames, namely Xi, Kim and Park, and these three families intermarry each other and are in-laws with each other, and most of the nobles, ministers, and generals in the court are also from these three surnames, so since the founding of my Silla state, the throne has been transferred between these three families!" ”

"I see!"

Han Zheng got up and said to Jin Jingxin: "Lord Jin, think about it again, don't worry." When you figure it out, send someone to find the official, and the official will go to meet Jin Zhizhen first! ”

Jin Jingxin looked at the backs of Han Zheng, Liu Donglin and others, and his face changed. After a long time, he found an entourage and instructed: "You bring some valuable things to go outside, and when they are done talking, find someone to inquire about how Li Baozhen, Han Zheng and Jin Zhizhen are talking, it is best to be able to figure out the content of their conversation!" ”

"Yes, sir!" The attendant agreed, took something of value and went out.

It didn't take long for the retinue to return, and Jin Jingxin wondered, "Why did you come back so soon?" ”

The attendant replied with a bitter face: "My lord, don't let you approach near the Tang Dynasty, there are soldiers guarding there." And just now the villain was caught by the patrol, and he was released when he learned that the villain was an adult's entourage, but they warned the villain that this is a military camp and that idle people can't walk around casually, so let the villain return to his residence and don't walk around, and if he walks around, he will be treated as a fine treatment! ”

Jin Jingxin's face kept changing again, and he waved his hand: "Forget it, you go down first!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

Jin Jingxin was trapped in his residence and couldn't walk around, so he had no way of knowing what Jin Zhizhen said to Li Baozhen, Han Zheng and others, so he could only stay in his residence and be anxious.

The Lobby of the Black Bone City.

Li Baozhen leaned on the backrest and asked, "Lord Kim, what is the matter with the Silla Kingdom sending people to you?" ”

Jin Zhizhen arched his hand and said: "Li Dashuai, the queen mother and the lord of our country are panicked and shocked by the arrival of the Celestial Empire's army, our dynasty has always respected the Celestial Empire and is obedient to the Celestial Empire, except for the road was cut off by the rebels during the Anshi Rebellion, our country's tribute to the Celestial Empire has never been cut off at other times, why did the Celestial Empire suddenly send troops to our country?" Xia Guan came this time to find out the reason and ask the Celestial Empire to withdraw its troops! ”

Li Baozhen sneered: "Lord Jin, in the past few years, your sailors of Silla have attacked our fishing boats and fishermen on the sea every year, causing many deaths and injuries to our fishermen, and the fishing boats have been snatched away or scuttled and sunk into the seabed, causing huge losses to our dynasty. ”

Jin Zhizhen "suddenly realized", "It turned out that it was because of this incident, Li Dashuai, the Celestial Empire has really wronged us, our navy ships will never dare to attack the fishermen and fishing boats of the Celestial Empire, that is all done by pirates, the note about the Honglu Temple of the Celestial Empire, my country has received it every time, and we have also done the corresponding disposal, and sent sailors and ships to suppress bandits, but the whereabouts of those pirates are erratic, they somehow can get news every time, and they fled before the arrival of our navy ships, We've destroyed four pirate lairs in a row, but we still haven't found their foothold! ”

Li Baozhen slapped the table and said angrily: "Jin Zhizhen, are you coaxing Ben Shuai and the court as a three-year-old child?" Do you think you can push the crime to the pirates? I have sent many notes to your country, but not one of them has replied, how do you explain this? ”

Jin Zhizhen said: "Marshal, in the face of the note of the Celestial Empire, how dare my country ignore it, in fact, every time my country has sent officials to cross the sea to the Celestial Empire by boat, but every time they are sent to the Celestial Empire, they will never return, and then we also found out that it is abnormal, and we know that all the missions sent by us were buried at sea, and the ships were attacked and sunk by pirate ships, resulting in the envoys being buried in the sea before they arrived in the Celestial Empire!" In the spring of this year, we decided to lure the pirates out, and once again sent an envoy ship to the Celestial Empire, and sent a fleet of sailors to follow behind, but we did not expect that not only did we not wipe out the pirates, but were ambushed, and the fleet lost most of the fleet, and had to flee back in a panic, it turned out that those pirates were not pirates at all, but the Japanese sailor fleet! ”

Li Baozhen and Han Zheng looked at each other, their faces were shocked, no one expected that this would be the case, but the authenticity of this matter needs to be verified.

Li Baozhen said angrily: "Jin Zhizhen, do you think that if you say this, Ben Shuai will believe you?" Today, Ben Shuai will leave the truth here, the whole country of Silla surrendered unconditionally, and it is still possible to save itself, if you resist stubbornly, there is only one way to die! ”
