Chapter 64 The Silla Envoy

It turned out that in Li Ke's plan, he had not been prepared to stay any of the three Koreans on the Peninsula, so he was not very concerned about Silla's envoys, and even once he had not asked who was coming. However, when Li Ke asked the Honglu Temple and learned who was the envoy this time, he was a little happy.

The current Silla court is like Goguryeo, and they are all powerful ministers in power, but the powerful minister in power in Goguryeo is Yoon Gaisuwen, while Silla is Jin Chunqiu. The envoy sent by Silla this time is his eldest son Jin Famin.

It is reasonable for Jin Chunqiu to take charge of Silla's power and to send his son Jin Famin to Chang'an, because Silla is a vassal of the Tang Dynasty and can only stand on the peninsula with the protection of the Tang Dynasty. In Silla, the prestige of the Emperor of Tang is even far higher than that of Silla King, so Jin Chunqiu naturally has to take control of his own people's opportunities to face the holy.

Li Ke suddenly spoke up to see Jin Famin. This was called Jin Famin and happy. He quickly packed up and followed the summoned palace servants to Zichen Palace.

"Foreign minister Jin Famin, come to see Your Majesty." Jin Famin stood in Zichen Hall, kneeled down at Li Ke and said to him.

The Tang Dynasty was quite important to the rituals of ministers, so most of them performed bowing ceremony when the king and his ministers met. If a foreign envoy who had met for the first time was summoned by the emperor, the servants would also carefully explain it on the way to the palace. This was an inevitable process and the servants should not forget it.

But just after the servant told Jin Famin that Jin Famin still gave such a tribute and kowtowed, which was somewhat beyond Li Ke's expectations.

When rituals are given to others, they either have plans or seeking, while Jin Famin obviously has seeking something from Li Ke.

Li Ke said: "Encourt is here soon."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jin Famin responded and stood up.

After Jin Famin got up, Li Ke pretended to be ignorant and asked, "How can the envoy perform such a great ritual? But I don't know my Tang Dynasty rituals?"

Jin Famin hurriedly explained: "Foreign ministers know that now I admire the great power of the Celestial Dynasty. I am also the year of the Tang Dynasty in the country. I recommend Tang rituals. I am very clear."

Li Ke heard this and asked in confusion: "Then why are you like this?"

Jin Famin replied: "Foreign ministers pay homage to the king and the king in the country, but Your Majesty is the king of the king and the king is the king of the world. I will be more serious."

Jin Famin's words were very beautiful, and he almost recognized his master on the spot. Li Ke knew his thoughts and did not expose them. Instead, he looked at the servant who was following Jin Famin. The servant was holding a roll of brocade scroll in his hand, so he asked, "The envoy brought something into the palace?"

Jin Famin turned around and took the brocade scroll from the servant's hand, and replied: "This is my king who imitated the skills of Su Hui, a woman from the Former Qin Dynasty, and wrote and embroidered the "Ode to Taiping" that he personally wrote and embroidered. I am willing to present it to Your Majesty."

King Jinde of Silla is a queen, famously written by Kim Seung-man, who is the cousin of Kim Deman of Silla Queen Shande. Li Ke knew that King Jinde-man was a woman, but he did not expect that he had such skills.

Li Ke said: "Oh, expand and take a look."

"promise."

Jin Famin got the order and, along with the servant, slowly unfolded the brocade in his hand and displayed the brocade in front of Li Ke.

"The great Tang Dynasty opened up the flood industry, and the towering emperor's plan was prosperous. The sword was stopped to form a great decisive state, and the literature was promoted to the hundred kings. The heavens were governed with rain, and the objects were controlled with rules. The sun and the moon were deeply benevolent, and the sun and the moon were harmonious. The flags were thriving, and the drums were so prosperous. Those who violated the orders of the foreign barbarians were defeated by the disaster. The pure wind was clear and the remote was auspicious. The four seasons were harmonious with jade candles, and the seven stars were patrolling ten thousand directions. The Weiyue surrendered to the prime minister, and the Wei Emperor appointed loyalty and kindness. Three or five virtues were made to show my Tang family."

Queen Zhende is smart and talented. She is called "the wonderful talent and extraordinary in Silla". However, in Li Ke's opinion, Queen Zhende's "Ode to Peace" is just a work that is suitable, and there will be no less in the Tang Dynasty. However, this poem was written by the kings of foreign countries and was embroidered on the brocade with his own hands, which seems extremely rare.

Especially the sentence: "The flags are so great, how can the drums be turbulent? Those who disobey foreigners will be defeated by the heavens." It is even more interesting. The ones who disobey foreigners in this sentence naturally refer to Goguryeo and Baekje. The brocade of Queen Zhende is not only a gift, but also a request to fight.

"A good poem, I didn't expect that Lingjun was so literary. What I wrote was really amazing." No matter what Li Ke thought, Li Ke praised it first as soon as he saw this thing.

Jin Famin said modestly: "The customs of the country are not as good as the heavenly dynasty, so your Majesty will laugh."

Li Ke asked, "Why didn't the envoy take out such a rare treasure on the New Year's Day, but instead offered it at this time?"

Jin Famin replied: "I, Silla, are a vassal of the Celestial Empire. The whole country is even more loyal to Your Majesty. I despise this thing not to agree with other countries and praise Your Majesty, but to express my loyalty to Your Majesty and my hope to Your Majesty, so I offer it privately."

Although Jin Famin said this, Li Ke also guessed that the purpose of their doing so was nothing more than sing too many praises on the New Year's Day dynasty, including many poems and treasures. If he presented brocades on the New Year's Day dynasty, he might not have been valued by Li Ke as much as he is now. Jin Famin was quite scheming in this matter.

Li Ke did not point out Jin Famin, but just smiled and said, "I think this poem is very good. If I have the chance, I want to meet you, the talented queen."

Jin Famin was able to be sent to Tang by Jin Chunqiu, not only because Jin Famin is his eldest son, but more importantly because Jin Famin himself has a lot of wisdom.

When Jin Famin heard what Li Ke said, he keenly captured his opportunity. Jin Famin hurriedly said, "If I can see the Holy Lord, it is my king's wish. It's just that the road from the country to the Heavenly Kingdom is blocked by land, and only the sea route is one. The sea is windy and waves are strong and the bumpy ground is very strong. There are occasionally pirates. My king is a woman, so I am afraid that I can't stand this kind of tossing, so I can't make it happen. I hope Your Majesty will not blame you."

The Peninsula is located in the north, Goguryeo is located in the southeast, and Silla is located in the southwest. If you want to come to Chang'an by land from Silla, you must go to Goguryeo. This is impossible with the current situation in Goguryeo and Silla.

So they could only come by boat. Not to mention the wind and waves on the sea, they might also encounter pirates or Baekje ships. It would be difficult for a queen to do this.

When Li Ke heard this, he followed Jin Famin's words and said, "What the envoy said is that Silla is in the south and Goguryeo is in the north. This land route is indeed completely blocked."

Jin Famin said: "Foreign ministers heard that in order to meet the emperor, they built a great road in the desert that runs north and south and leads directly to Chang'an. The famous work is 'Tantian Khan Road'. I, Silla, have long admired the emperor's sage virtues, and the whole country has been looking forward to this path for a long time."

As Jin Famin said, as if he was touching, he cried out in an instant, and tears also flowed down the corners of his eyes, soaking his cheeks.

In terms of acting skills, Li Ke was such a master when he was a prince. Now, seeing Jin Famin crying in front of him, he couldn't help but want to shout for him in his heart.

Seeing this, Li Ke hurriedly comforted him: "Why should the envoy cry? As the envoy said, Silla is my vassal of the Tang Dynasty and is loyal to me. This towering Khan's Word will be opened sooner or later, but now Goguryeo is located across the north, which is not a temporary solution."
