Chapter 1247 Li Chengqian's Conditions

After realizing Li Chengqian's true purpose, a trace of confusion flashed in Queen Shande's eyes, and the luck in her heart was completely destroyed.

"Why? Why do you have to destroy Silla? We have always been respectful to the Tang Dynasty. Why do we destroy us!" Ning'er was eager to protect her master. Seeing Shande's distraught look, she couldn't help but feel excited and shouted at Li Chengqian.

"Because I am happy, because I don't want to be stabbed in the back one day in the future. Are you satisfied with this explanation?" Li Chengqian replied without changing his face, not minding that Ning'er's identity is low.

In fact, there was no need for him to explain anything to Queen Shande and her maid, but out of the show-off of a victor, Li Chengqian still answered.

"Silla will always maintain respect for the Tang Dynasty, and Xiao Wang can guarantee this." Queen Shande was still making the final struggle.

But she didn't know that Li Chengqian had traveled from later generations, and even if it was not in the future, it would be well-known. Silla's betrayal of the Tang Dynasty one day in the future would not be a random arrangement of one or two literati, otherwise there would be no such country as Goryeo.

Li Chengqian didn't want to argue with a woman on this matter, so he pointed to a chair opposite him: "I don't like to raise my head and talk."

It is said that it is easy to enjoy the cool air with a big tree on your back, while Li Chengqian, who is backed by a powerful country, has the strength to do whatever he wants, even if he is facing a queen.

"Your Highness says anything, Xiao Wang listen carefully!" Queen Shande sat down as he asked, trying to keep her voice steady.

"The palace has six requirements: First, Silla will give up the currency rights, and all Silla will be confiscated, and prices will be implemented in accordance with the Tang Dynasty standards in the future."

"Secondly, in Silla, all Silla people must speak Chinese and write Chinese characters."

"Third, all laws in Silla are abolished, and domestic laws shall be subject to the Tang Dynasty."

"Fourth, all nobles in Silla will be registered and registered and under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty has the right to review whether the nobles of Silla are qualified to continue to exist."

"Fifth, the appointment and removal of Silla officials must be reported to the Tang Dynasty, otherwise the Tang Dynasty will be considered invalid."

"Sixth, Silla does not allow its own army, and national security will be taken over by the Tang Dynasty."

"If we can do this, we can keep Silla alive. Of course, Silla officials also have the right to serve in the Tang Dynasty. Officials with strong abilities will never have to worry about not developing."

After Li Chengqian finished speaking of the six conditions, Queen Shande was already shaking, with no trace of blood on her face, and she said with a trembling body: "If according to Your Highness, is Silla still necessary to exist? Without its own words, laws, army, and even the power to issue coins, is Silla still the same country!"

"I did not discuss with you whether Silla is a complete country, but told you that only by meeting these six conditions can your people be spared from the war." Li Chengqian's voice was very calm, but his tough attitude was real.

Just as Queen Shande said, a country without words and army cannot become a country, and Li Chengqian's request is exactly the same.

He does not need a country in the middle of the country to exist, and the territory of the Tang Dynasty must continue to expand. If countries like Silla or Baekje continue to exist, it would be equivalent to a country in the middle of the country, which would never be allowed.

Moreover, Li Chengqian's next plan is to land in Japan, how could he leave a tail behind him for others?

"Is there no room for anything? Dear Prince, Xiao Wang, on behalf of nearly one million people in Silla, beg you!" Queen Shande put herself in a position of a weak man from the beginning, and now she is pitifully bowing to Li Chengqian to the ground.

However, there was no trace of pity in Li Chengqian's eyes. He glanced at Queen Shande who was lying on the ground, turned to Songzan Gampo and said, "Songzan, you can deal with the next thing, I am tired!"

"Yes! I'll send you my best!" Songtsen Gampo stood up and stood solemnly, playing a very obedient subordinate.

"Xiao Si, let's go!" Li Chengqian had already walked to the door, but found that Cheng Lin's girl did not follow.

"Brother Prince..." Cheng Lin got up from her seat, walked to Li Chengqian a few steps, and muttered in a low voice: "Brother Prince, look so pitiful."

"Well. I know!" Li Chengqian pushed open the door and said while walking out: "But who made her a Silla native? This is her biggest mistake."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Seeing Li Chengqian disappearing outside the door, Queen Shande's voice was like a cuckoo crying blood. People who don't know would even think that she was a resentful woman who was cruelly abandoned by the unfaithful man.

Cheng Lin looked back at Queen Shande, then looked at Li Chengqian who was going downstairs, and finally shook her head and went out.

Although she felt that kindness was pitiful, she was unable to change Li Chengqian's idea. Moreover, the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics. This was the rule set by Empress Changsun. Even if she was so brave, she would not dare to disobey.

The last time she spent several months at Zongzhengji left a deep impression on her heart. She didn't want to go in again no matter what.

"Get up, stop pretending, everyone is not a child, your style is useless." When Li Chengqian and others left without any sign of it, Songtsen Gampo sat back on the chair and said coldly to Shande, who was still lying on the ground.

"Your blood is cold." Queen Shande slowly stood up from the ground and said dazedly.

"It's just a success and a defeat. Don't say yourself like a saint." Songtsen Gampo snorted unmoved and continued, "Your Highness the Crown Prince has made the request very clear just now. I must not repeat it again, right?"

"Publicate the strong and bully the weak!" Shande felt very uncomfortable when he was ignored by Li Chengqian, and the six conditions made her breathless.

But she had no choice, because she was facing the Tang Dynasty, a huge empire. Although she could also return to the country and call on the people of the whole country to organize against the Tang Dynasty, what's the use? It's useless except that more people will die.

In ancient times, it was not like the modern times, and there was also a humanitarian spirit. In that period of scarce resources and feudalism, human life was often the least valuable thing.

The people, especially the people of the enemy country, often represent bounty. If they catch them and sell them, they will be money. Even the most demanding masters will not point fingers at this, because in their opinion, this is normal.

In this era when even a wife can be given away at will, perhaps relying on the strong is the best choice for the weak.
