Chapter 109 Twin Princesses
Chapter 109 Twin Princess
In the Silla Palace, Jin Baijing, the 44-year-old Silla Zhenping king, sat in the throne, and said to the ministers below with some anxiety, "Now Baekje, Goguryeo attacked me from Silla on both sides. Do you have any good plans?"
King Zhenping was supported by the kingdom ministers since he was ten years old. He has been in power for thirty-four years, but he did not have much real power. The real power of the country was in the hands of a favorite concubine, Mimuro, of his grandfather. At this time, facing the crisis of the kingdom, he could only stare at the nobles.
The southern part of the Sanhan Peninsula has been established for nearly 700 years since the legendary era. Silla was originally founded by Park Hyukju of the Han family of Chenhan, and the name of Silla was established in 503 AD.
It was originally named Xu Luofa, also known as Sluqilu. It was built by the Chenhan Slu tribe of the three Koreans in the 4th century AD. The ruling area was first in the southeast of the Korean Peninsula, and then expanded to the entire area south of the Datong River, with the capital being Jincheng.
Around the BC, the Slu tribe took Jincheng as the center and formed a tribal alliance with six tribes. The chief was held by Pu, Xi and Jin San. Since the mid-4th century, the two surnames Pu and Xi no longer served as leaders, and the throne was inherited from the Jin surname, and the royal power was gradually strengthened.
In the decades since the fifth century AD, Silla unified the Benggaya (also known as Jinguan Gaya) and the Benghaya tribe of the Benggaya tribe of the Dagaya, and completely occupied the Luodong River basin. In order to compete with Goguryeo, Silla formed an alliance with Baekje. In 551, it occupied the upper reaches of the Han River in Baekje. In 553, it captured the lower reaches of the Han River in Baekje. Then it took advantage of the situation to go north along the east coast. Silla's expansion led to continuous attacks from Goguryeo and Baekje, and Silla was in a critical situation.
Jin Sezong, who presided over the Supreme Joint Meeting of the Kingdom's Nobles and the Bai Conference, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think that Goguryeo attacked us because I, Silla, and the Baekje teamed up to seize the Han River Plain. And Baekje attacked us because I, Silla, and Baekje, joined forces to seize the Han River Plain, and then sent troops to take the opportunity to seize the land downstream of the Han River Plain that originally belonged to them. One-on-two, I, Silla, is not their opponent, but if one-on-one, we may not necessarily fail. So I think it's better to promise to return the lower reaches of the Han River Plain to Baekje first, and then I, Silla, will not worry about only one Goguryeo. When we look back, we still have the opportunity to deal with Baekje again."
The Ministry of War ordered Xue Yuan to accompany him, "Your Majesty, it is really unwise to go to war on both sides, but if it is just one-on-one, we Silla will not be afraid of Goguryeo at all."
King Zhenping said hesitantly, "But Goguryeo was originally a tribe in the northern Central Plains. Because it was suppressed by the Han people, it gradually retreated into our Sanhan Peninsula. This Goguryeo is not as good as our Sanhan tribes, but it is actually a strong enemy. When King Zhenxing was so powerful, he had to join forces with Baekje to defeat Goguryeo and seize the Han River Plain. Now that we are going to war with Goguryeo, can we have a chance of victory?"
Everyone dared not be careless about this powerful northern enemy who broke into the Sanhan Peninsula. If Silla had not been the outstanding king of King Zhenxing, who had only been released for hundreds of years, maybe Silla would have been beaten by Goguryeo now.
Meimu, the real ruler of the Silla Kingdom, stood up with a smile, "Your Majesty, the Han River Plain was robbed by the King of Zhenxin for many years. It is precisely because of the fertile Han River Plain that I, Silla, can develop rapidly in recent years. Your Majesty succeeded to the throne for many years, and the Kingdom of God has not only not developed, but has stagnated. Is Your Majesty now planning to hand over the land captured by King Zhenxing?"
When she was young, the Mimi not only had a beautiful appearance, but also had excellent personal skills. She was not only literary but also martial. She was not only a favorite concubine of King Zhenxing, but also a general under King Zhenxing's tent. She conquered the city and made great contributions to Silla.
Not only that, she was also quite good at it, and she attracted the great nobles, Shangda, and Shizong, the Ministry of War, Xue Yuan and other great nobles and ministers in the court. It can be said that the entire Silla was completely controlled by him. She was determined to ascend to the throne of the queen, but luck made people feel that although King Zhenxing favored her, he only regarded him as a good subordinate.
After King Zhenxing's death, she supported King Zhenxing's son to succeed to King Zhenzhi, and even had an affair with him and gave birth to a son. But King Zhenzhi did not make her the queen in the end. In anger, she and the nobles deposed King Zhenzhi and made King Jin Baijing, the grandson of King Zhenxing who was only ten years old, become king.
Originally, she thought that Jin Baijing would have to make her the queen in the end, but in the end, she miscalculated. She got older and was no longer beautiful, but she still did not become a queen. She simply walked to the front and held the power of the court. Except for her lack of status, she basically had the final say in the entire Silla.
As soon as Mimuro's aggressive words came out, Mahei King was blocked there, neither left nor left.
"Princess Meishi, you can eat random food, but you can't talk nonsense. Your Majesty is also worried about national affairs. This Goguryeo has always been the strongest person on the Sanhan Peninsula. Isn't it unreasonable for us to abandon the weak Baekje to attack Goguryeo?"
The person who spoke was the eldest daughter of King Zhenping, Princess Deman, the Lord of Silla Hualang, and King Zhenping had no sons, only two daughters. The elder Princess Deman was eighteen years old, and the second daughter was also eighteen, and the second sister was twin sisters. Not as good as the Central Plains, although these two were princesses, they could help the king handle government affairs, and they were also the commander of all the Hualangs in Silla.
Hualang was the founding organization of King Zhenxing. He selected all the young children of the Silla nobles as Hualang to conduct military patriotism education and training. Not only that, each Hualang also has a team of loyal men who are loyal to him. He is responsible for training in normal times and is responsible for reception, defense and performance when there are major activities. When war comes, these people will also participate in the war, which is completely special elite troops. Raids, spy, assassination, ambush, and ambush are all the tasks of these people.
Every minister in Silla must be held by a noble who has experienced Hualang. It can be said that Hualang is the elite among the young generation of Silla, and the princess is the commander of all Hualangs.
Mimuro just smiled at Princess Deman's words and did not answer.
The Ministry of War ordered a smile and said, "Your Majesty only knows that Goguryeo is strong, but he doesn't know that what we want to fight is strong. Now among the three Koreans, Goguryeo is the strongest, and my God's Kingdom is second, and Baekje is the weakest. If my God's Kingdom joins Baekje, it will be better than Goguryeo, and if it is divided, it will be weak. Once the God's Kingdom and Baekje fight, it will be in danger. Goguryeo will definitely take the opportunity to destroy my God's Kingdom. In the current situation, my God's Kingdom can only use the art of combining and unifying, and joining Baekje to fight against Goguryeo. As long as I defeat Goguryeo, my God's Kingdom will be the strongest among the three Koreans. This is the most in line with my God's Kingdom's strategy. If I attack Baekje first and my two tigers fight, it will eventually be Goguryeo, and finally it will be Goguryeo's lips and teeth cold. What the owner considers is all about the future of my God's Kingdom."
Princess Shengman, who was standing aside, sneered, "I'm afraid that although the owner's strategy is good, Baekje may not necessarily obey the troops. Now that Baekje and Goguryeo join forces, they are in the process of winning, how can they stop? What's more, Goguryeo is a powerful enemy in the north, with hundreds of thousands of troops, how can we defeat them?"
Princess Seungman and Deman have been in the palace since childhood and have long been unable to see Mimori's behavior. Since childhood, the two sisters have been determined to regain the lost rights of the royal family from Mimori. However, although they are determined, the Mimori's power has been deeply rooted for many years. Although they have gradually supported their own power through Hana Lang, they are still far behind Mimori.
Mimuro is a veteran of power play, and of course she can see the thoughts of the two princesses at a glance.
The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he looked at King Zhenping, "Your Majesty, Goguryeo is indeed powerful, but they not only threatened our divine kingdom, but also agreed to attract the attention of the Lord of the Central Plains. The Sui king of the Central Plains is a real big country, with a vast continent and a wealth of the world. Its troops are as many as one million, and even the powerful Turks in the northern grassland were defeated by them. Now they own the entire continent. However, Goguryeo dreamed of joining the Turks to control the Sui kingdom. They were playing with fire. I heard that the emperor of the Sui king of the Central Plains was a generation of heroes and vowed to pacify Goguryeo in the east. This is undoubtedly our opportunity."
King Zhenxing said with some confusion, "But hasn't the Sui Kingdom failed twice in the north? I heard that there were as many as one million soldiers killed in the battle. The Jingguandu, which was built with the bones of the Sui people in the city of Pyongyang, Goguryeo, was as tall as a mountain. Where is the opportunity you mentioned?"
"Your Majesty, no matter how fierce the wolf is, it is just a wolf. Although the tiger has a nap, it is not a fierce wolf that can be dealt with once it is truly powerful. Your Majesty, although the Sui Kingdom failed the first two times, it is still in the third war. Now Goguryeo has already transferred most of the troops on the border to Pyongyang and Liaodong. Although the army that attacked us is very powerful, it is alone. What we have to deal with is just an army that goes deeper. There will be no reinforcements or follow-up large forces. As long as we defeat this army, we can protect the Han River Plain, and we can even turn around and teach Baekje a lesson so that they dare not have any inappropriate thoughts about the Han River Plain."
King Zhenping looked at Jin Longchun and Yi Ji among the ministers. Both of them were great nobles who met with Bai, and they were also confidants who had always supported the royal family. At first glance, both ministers nodded slightly at his eyes, obviously agreeing with the American family's strategy.
