Chapter 381: Openly Wanting Benefits

On the palace hall, Princess Jin Deman met the legendary Emperor of Tang for the first time. Although this man who was rich from all over the world only looked up from afar, she could still feel the majesty of a monarch. In contrast, her father seemed to be just a prince or minister.

"Everyone, Princess Silla is here to ask for help from the Tang Dynasty. How should I deal with this matter?" Li Er asked the minister below in front of Jin Deman.

Li Jing stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty has been fighting for years and has just been cultivated for a year. It is not advisable to use wars anymore. Besides, Silla and I, Datang, have no friendship, so we have no obligation to rescue them."

After that, seeing Li Jing say this, it was like a basin of cold water pouring on Jin Deman's head. Seeing the position of the old minister dressed in the military general, he must be an extremely influential person. He came out to object, and it would be difficult to ask for help.

"Your Majesty, Silla is located on the peninsula. Although it has nothing to do with us, if Goguryeo unified the peninsula, their strength will definitely be enhanced and they will be the enemy of our Tang Dynasty in the future!

So I think that we should send troops to rescue us. After all, our two countries have a common enemy, Goguryeo." Changsun Wuji said after he went out to work.

"What are you afraid of? Isn't it just a little Goguryeo? Why are I afraid of the Tang Dynasty?

Your Majesty, I think I shouldn’t go to save me. Rescuing Silla is not of any benefit, so how can I let the soldiers fight for nothing?” Hou Junji shouted.

"We Silla are willing to form an alliance with the Tang Dynasty and deal with Goguryeo together." Jin Deman shouted.

Hou Junji doesn't buy it. Don't look at you as beautiful as you are, but how to deal with the situation on the peninsula is discussed in advance. You will definitely not discuss the tricks in the court.

"No, the Tang Dynasty does not need weak allies, a place where even its own country cannot be protected, what should we use to form an alliance?" Hou Junji interrupted.

"I, Silla, pay money and grain to supply the Tang Dynasty to send troops, and we are willing to pay tens of thousands of dollars as a reward,"

Gripping her teeth, she proposed the idea of ​​spending money to request troops. Silla Primary School had almost plundered the treasury, but compared to destroying the country, it would be good to spend money to buy life. At this time, she also understood that the officials of the Tang Dynasty were unwilling to send troops to rescue people for nothing.

Li Er pondered: "It's not that I can't consider it."

Li Jing shouted: "Your Majesty, how much is there for ten thousand gold? The Tang Dynasty is rich, so where is the little gold and silver short of him? The lives of our soldiers are the most important!"

"This..." Li Er hesitated.

"Hmph, I thought the Tang Dynasty was a great country with a kingly spirit, but I didn't expect that it was also such a greedy life and fear of death. Does a country's military just be petty like a street vegetable vendor?

Silla is a small country with poor fortune, and although it is a small amount of money, it is full of sincerity.

Perhaps rescue of Silla would not have any obvious benefits to the Tang Dynasty, but if Silla was destroyed and Goguryeo was powerful, then the Tang Dynasty would start a war with it, and there would be more soldiers who were killed or injured." Jin Deman came out and mocked.

Hou Junji said disdainfully: "The people who are about to destroy the country are still laughing at us? If we want us to send troops, money will not work. Our Tang Dynasty is not short of money. Unless you, Silla, bow down to our Tang Dynasty and pay tribute every year, what will happen to us if you are destroyed by Goguryeo?

Even if Goguryeo unifies the peninsula, do you see if they dare to come and touch our Tang Dynasty?"

All the military generals cheered Hou Junji, saying that Old Hou was worthy of being an executioner of a foreign race, and this sounded really aroused.

Seeing that the matter was almost done, Li Er wanted to leave time for the other party to think, so he said, "Okay, I'm tired of boats and trains. Let's stop here today. You can discuss the matter of sending troops a little later."

Jin Deman returned to Yingbin Garden in a daze, which was where envoys from various countries lived. Judging from the situation, the Tang Dynasty was not easy to share. It was a world of difference from the legendary etiquette country. They all wanted to benefit from this incident, but Silla was too poor to come up with what the Tang Dynasty wanted.

As for betraying one's subordinates and paying tribute every year, this is no different from Silla being incorporated.

Jin Deman, who was confused, thought hard and seemed to have no good idea. At this time, the deputy envoy of Silla came and reported something.

"Princess, you made the inquiry come true."

"What's the matter?"

"It's the man whose white scholar is named Bai Fan in Zhongnan."

"Oh? Let's talk, which family is from?" Jin Deman, absent-minded, seemed to have lost his wisdom and soberness at this time, and said casually.

But the envoy gradually became interested and began to talk endlessly, "It turns out that this person is not a four-character name. Zhongnan is where he is located, Zhongnan Mountain, and his name is Bai Fan.

In the Tang Dynasty, it can be said to be a well-known figure. He was awarded the title of Marquis of Lantian. He was the son-in-law of King Li Jiancheng of Jin and the nephew of Li Jing, the grand marshal of the dynasty.

"Li Jing?"

Hearing this name, Jin Deman couldn't help but remember the first veteran in the court to object. It turned out to be him! If this is the case, it would be difficult to persuade him to help. After all, the veteran was against the rescue, and Bai Fan was his junior.

"Not bad, but Bai Fan is not famous because of this, but because he is very capable.

It is rumored that he debuted at the age of fourteen and was a fellow disciple of Yuan Tiangang, a living Taoist immortal in the Tang Dynasty. He was proficient in the learning of various schools of thought. He created the Tang Dynasty Beggars' Sect and gathered beggars all over the world. It is said that the Beggars' Sect is so powerful that even the emperor dares to provoke him!"

"What? So awesome?" Jinderman was shocked.

"In addition, he also founded Zhongnan Academy, just at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain in Lantian County to the south. There were only 120 students in the first batch, of which 40 had already made their mark in the Tang Dynasty.

It is said that the previous Tang Dynasty captured five major cities in western Goguryeo within one month, and it was led by these forty disciples from Zhongnan Academy to lead 10,000 vanguard troops, so it is rumored that Bai Fan was the first teacher of the Tang Dynasty."

"Vanguard Army? There were indeed rumors from Goguryeo before. I didn't expect that there would be such a thing. In this way, Bai Fan is really an amazing figure and the master of the Vanguard Army, so his influence is probably quite large.

Very good. Check where he lives and what he likes. I want to visit Yi2. After all, we have a relationship with each other. The situation is not optimistic now. It can be said that it is difficult to move forward. Multiple friends have more ways to go." Jinderman's mind became more and more active and he opened his mouth to order.

The envoy nodded in agreement and said with a smile: "The princess will definitely be able to do it. It is said that Bai Fan is a famous romantic talent in the Tang Dynasty. He is respected by the people as the love saint of the Tang Dynasty. The princess is so beautiful that she must not be able to resist it."

"Rareless! We are here to ask for help, representing Silla's face. How can we do such shameless acts of seduction?" Jinderman sternly shouted and resigned the deputy envoy.

But when she was alone, she was thinking in her heart that Silla had almost nothing, maybe she could still be of some value as a princess!

Thinking of his old father still struggling to support him, Jin Deman sighed in his heart that if he could exchange his own national security alone, then this business would be impossible.

After understanding the situation, Jin Deman put down his reserve and began to think about how to move in the Tang Dynasty. If you want to protect Silla's autonomy, you may only use some special means.

I remember what Bai Fan said? Heavy makeup is outdated. What style is emerging now? I still need to study it carefully.
