Chapter 696 Bullying can't work

Lee You was very enthusiastic. He said to Queen Jinderman: "Her Majesty, you haven't seen each other for several years, and you are getting younger and younger."

When Jin Deman saw Li You in front of him, he was stronger than three years ago. His handsome face was full of the charm of a man's mature charm. Not only that, he also had a domineering aura of being in the top position for a long time.

She said: "Your Highness, thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and thank you for personally leading the army to rescue the Silla Kingdom."

Li You smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are polite. Silla was originally a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. It is appropriate to rescue you."

In fact, Silla originally paid tribute to the Central Plains dynasty Sui Dynasty. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Silla did not pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty. It supported sending people to scatter the court to meet Li Shimin, and verbally expressed its surrender to the Tang Dynasty and did not sign a formal agreement.

After Li You said this, Jin Deman immediately felt bad. She smiled and said, "Your Highness is joking. My country of Silla and your friendly country in the Tang Dynasty are very grateful for your help in the Tang Dynasty."

Her attitude was very friendly, but she expressed her attitude in her words - the Tang Dynasty was the Tang Dynasty, and my Silla Kingdom was independent.

In order to clear her relationship with the Tang Dynasty, she nodded slightly and signaled the prime minister to speak.

The fat prime minister said: "Your Highness, Your Majesty, in order to express your gratitude to the Tang Dynasty, I specially brought 200,000 dan of grain and 500,000 dan of Kaiyuan Tongbao from the Tang Dynasty, and some gifts dedicated to your emperor and Your Highness."

Li You smiled and said, "In this way, on behalf of my father, I thank Her Majesty the Queen."

Jinderman said: "Since that's the case, the war has just passed, and there are still many tedious things in this kingdom that need to be dealt with urgently, so I'll go back first."

Li You smiled and said, "No, I have prepared a sumptuous welcome banquet for Her Majesty. Her Majesty the Queen should give me this little face.

Besides, I have a lot to talk to Her Majesty the Queen alone. Our army has just captured Baekje and is still confused about how to govern the people here.

The people of Baekje and the people of Silla are of the same clan. Her Majesty the Queen has rich experience in governing Silla. I hope Her Majesty will delay for a few days. I can ask Her Majesty the Queen for advice."

Jin Deman heard something in Li You's words. Although she was eager to get out, she did not dare to mention it at this time. She said, "If His Highness of the King of Qi needs it, I am willing to help."

Li You smiled and said, "Then I will thank Her Majesty the Queen."

After saying that, he said to Cheng Chuliang: "Sima Cheng, Her Majesty the Queen will live in the Governor's Mansion in the future, and Your Majesty the Queen's safety is your responsibility. If any mistake occurs, I will punish you."

Cheng Chuliang hurriedly stood up and said, "Don't worry, I will protect Her Majesty the Queen in a strict manner. Even a sparrow cannot fly in, and will never let anyone hurt Her Majesty the Queen."

The prime minister understood the meaning of these conversations: that is, a sparrow cannot fly in, and then a person cannot go out.

Queen Jinderman and Jae looked at each other, preparing to discuss how to get out of danger after going back.

Next, Li You held a grand welcoming dinner for Queen Jin Deman and others.

Li You did not show up the next day after the dinner.

On the third day, Li You still did not show up.

Queen Jin Deman was really anxious. She sent the prime minister to find Cheng Chuliang and asked, "Where has Your Highness King Qi gone? Why haven't you seen him these days?"

Cheng Chuliang said: "His Highness of the King of Qi went to the front line to investigate the terrain."

The prime minister felt a little "suddenly" and asked, "Where has His Highness the King of Qi gone?"

Cheng Chuliang said, "I don't know this either. He may have gone to the Goguryeo border or the Silla border. My official position is too low, and I cannot know such a major news."

The prime minister said, "Since His Highness, King Qi, cannot come back for a while, then, My Queen will say goodbye. After His Highness, King Qi, please report to him, and say that His Queen will welcome him to the Silla Jincheng Palace as a guest."

"Slowly, Prime Minister. Please report to Her Majesty the Queen, you can't leave here yet. Now Baekje has just surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and the public security situation is still very chaotic.

My prince has told me to protect your safety. If something happens to you when you go out, I will not be able to bear such a responsibility."

When Queen Jinderman came, she brought a 500-man guard, all of whom were elite warriors from Silla. The prime minister believed that he could protect the safety of Her Majesty the Queen.

So he said, "You don't have to bother with this. We have our own way to ensure the safety of Her Majesty the Queen.

Cheng Chuliang said, "This is not possible. Without the orders of His Highness, no one can step out of the Governor's Office."

The prime minister had no choice but to go back and report to Her Majesty the Queen.

Next, Cheng Chuliang simply disarmed the Queen of Silla's guards and then put the Queen of Silla and others under house arrest in the guest house.

In fact, Li You did not leave the Governor's Mansion, he was in the Eastern Army General's Mansion in the yard next to him.

Hou Junji smiled and said, "Your Highness, Her Majesty the Queen is next door, so don't you go and talk to them?"

Li You smiled embarrassedly.

Although Li You was cruel and forced to put down the Queen of Silla under house arrest, he still couldn't do such a thing.

However, he doesn't need to do such an embarrassing thing himself.

On this day, Wang Xuance and Sima Jiong came to meet the fat prime minister of Silla. From then on, the two of them started negotiations with Silla.

After 12 days of negotiations, Queen Jinderman was forced to reach conditions with the Tang Dynasty.

1. Silla maintains a high degree of autonomy, and maintains the original political system in addition to military and external affairs.

2. The status and title of Silla royal family was retained until the queen was abolished a hundred years later. The successor was to be crowned as a prince by the court, and he could inherit the title from generation to generation.

3. According to the total number of cultivated land, the Ministry of Revenue will pay 1/5 of the same taxes as the mainland of the Tang Dynasty every year.

4. The Silla region and various parts of the Tang Dynasty were freely engaged in trade.

The Tang Dynasty was a country with multiple systems, with a system of counties and counties in the mainland, a system of vassal states, a system of vassal states, and a system of governors. Now there is another system of autonomous regions.

Liaodong, Yingzhou.

Li Shimin received a letter from Li You and said with a smile: "My son, there is really a way. In such a short time, he actually conquered Baekje and Silla."

General Li Jing sincerely praised: "Your Majesty, His Highness, the King of Qi, is mainly based on wisdom in wars. It is not just a military strategy, but what he called the integrated military, political and economic war. It seems that this method has a better and more obvious effect than a simple military crusade.

However, I am old, I may not be able to learn these methods of His Highness King Qi. Haha.”

Li Ji admired Li You's wisdom very much. He said: "Your Majesty, I have carefully studied the overall strategy of conquering Goguryeo proposed by His Highness King Qi, and I think it is an effective method. I suggest adopting it."

Li Shimin was originally worried that he would suffer too much casualties from the Goguryeo people. After analyzing Li You's suggestions, he also thought it was feasible.

He smiled and said, "This time, we will adopt the integrated battle method of Li You. I am also looking forward to it and want to see the Goguryeo people surrendered because of hunger. Haha."

In early September, Li You called Hou Junji, Zhang Liang and others and said to them: "You two will be responsible for the next thing. I will leave here and do another thing."
