Chapter 314 The Influence of War

ww.x.om The snow that Li Yin encountered was extremely heavy. It started to fall from midnight until the next afternoon. It came down, but the ground had already accumulated more than a foot of snow, and the road was also blocked by the heavy snow. If it didn't clear up in a few days, it would be impossible to walk at all. In other words, Li Yin and the others were temporarily trapped in Jinmen City. up.

This is a natural disaster, no matter how anxious Li Yin and the others are, it is useless, and Jin Shengman was plotted against again, almost costing his life, so at least he needs to rest for a few days.However, in the past few days, Li Yin and the others were not idle. They interrogated all the maids around Jin Shengman, and finally found out the maid who participated in the assassination that night. There were not two maids involved in this matter as he had imagined before, but three, but one of them did not do it himself that night.

After capturing the three maids, Li Yin followed the vines and quickly found the person who gave them orders. It was the Lord Jin Qi Jin who was extremely enthusiastic about Li Yin, but when he found the Lord Jin , the other party has been silenced, and even the wife and children in the family have all died, which can be described as very miserable.

The clues were suddenly cut off. As for the maids, although they all had their own backgrounds, they mainly contacted Jin Gongqi at ordinary times, so they couldn't ask any important clues at all.Jin Shengman knew who was trying to harm her, but unfortunately, he couldn't find any evidence now, otherwise as soon as he returned to Jincheng, he could immediately take down the person behind the scenes.

Li Yin didn't care about whether there was any evidence at all, and he didn't even care much about Jin Shengman's assassination.Although he chose to save people at the last moment, it does not prove that he cares about Jin Shengman's life and death. What he cares about is to completely control Silla in the shortest possible time. This is the first step for him to come here personally. .Capital Datang 314

After living in Jinmen City like this for four days, the road ahead is still not cleared, but Jin Shengman's health is almost recovered. After all, it is only gas poisoning, and it is not very serious, so there is no sequelae left.

The weather is fine today.Although it was still very cold and the thick snow on the roof hadn't melted, the warm sunshine poured down without hesitation, making people feel a rare warmth in the harsh winter.

Because of the heavy snow, Li Yin has been suffocating in the house for a few days. The weather is good today, and it is just right for Wen'er and Hua'er to go for a walk in the street. After all, since he entered the territory of Silla, .I have been busy on my way, and have never carefully observed the folk customs in Silla.

But in the end Wen'er begged to bring Jin Shengman with her.After all, she is the Queen of Silla, and if she is here, she can help explain it. After thinking about it, Li Yin feels that it is not bad. It is indeed a good idea to let the Queen of Silla be the lady guide, so he agreed.

The four of Li Yin traveled, because of the assassination of Jin Shengman last time, so for the sake of safety, they brought a lot of guards this time.Moreover, he was riding in a special carriage. After all, it was still very cold, and riding a horse was definitely a very painful thing.

Jinmen City is a medium-sized city. Although it is mainly the acropolis of Jincheng, there are also many residents in the city. In Li Yin's opinion, the situation in this city cannot be compared with that of Datang City of the same size.But at least it should be very lively. Unfortunately, when he walked around the street himself, he realized that the situation of the whole city seemed to be very bad.

Although Jinmen City is considered a medium-sized city in Silla, it is compared to Datang.That is the size of an ordinary county town. In addition to one main road, there are four relatively large streets, which can be easily turned around. However, Li Yin, who was sitting in the carriage, found that there were very few pedestrians on the streets of the entire city, and even Even the shops on both sides of the street were almost all closed, and no one was doing business at all.

And when their carriage turned to the northeast corner of the city, Li Yin suddenly discovered that this place should have been an open space for a trading market, but now it has become a refugee camp, with countless dilapidated simple tents set up here. Unkempt refugees huddled in tents one by one, looking at Li Yin and his group with awe.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Jin Shengman in the carriage couldn't bear it any longer, and said very coldly: "Have you seen your Highness, these are refugees who fled from the front line, and there are some in every city behind. Especially in Jincheng, where the number of refugees is ten times more than here."

The reason why Jin Shengman said this to him was nothing more than blaming him for this matter. After all, if he hadn’t played tricks, the war between the two countries should have ended long ago, and no matter the outcome, at least there are no people in Silla. There will be so many refugees.

After hearing this, Li Yin smiled slightly, as if he didn't care and said: "You and Baekje are not greedy enough. When we conquered Goguryeo, you swallowed part of Goguryeo's territory. As a result, it buried the root of this war. If it weren't for your greed, where would today's disaster be?"

Li Yin's rebuttal is also very powerful. The conflict between Silla and Baekje broke out because the newly occupied Goguryeo homeland of the two countries broke the balance between the two countries. Li Shimin did it on purpose, in order to cause the conflict between the two countries to break out, so as to reduce the pressure on the Anton Governor's Mansion. Now it seems that the effect is very good.

Jin Shengman had no way to refute Li Yin's words, although she also vaguely felt that Datang didn't seem to have seen it after occupying the homeland of Goguryeo. Generally speaking, it was because they were too greedy at the beginning.

Seeing that Jin Shengman didn't speak, Li Yin didn't shut up, but continued to ask: "Just now we turned around a few streets, but found that most of the shops in the city are not open. What is the reason? Is it also because The reason for the war?"

Hearing Li Yin's question knowingly, Jin Shengman became angry again, but she also knew that only this abominable guy in front of her could change the miserable situation in Silla, so she had to suppress the anger in her heart and tell the reason.

It turned out that, as Li Yin had guessed, after nearly a year of war between Silla and Baekje, domestic supplies had become astonishingly scarce. The merchants in the city didn’t want to open their doors, but had nothing to sell at all. Because most of the materials have been requisitioned, even if the army does not need them, they can be exchanged for urgently needed food and weapons in Pyongyang or Dengzhou.

In addition, Jin Shengman also emphasized that there is an extreme shortage of food in Silla. Not only the refugees in front of them have nothing to eat, but even most of the ordinary people in the city are starving. In addition, this winter has come very early. Therefore, ordinary people simply do not have the ability to store food for the winter, and even in most areas of Silla, people have begun to starve to death, and this is one of the sources of domestic turmoil in Silla.

When he said this, Jin Shengman suddenly let out a long sigh, and his attitude towards Li Yin became a little softer, and there was even a hint of pleading in his tone: "Your Highness, our Silla has really reached the moment of life and death. If If this situation is allowed to continue, there will definitely be a great famine that will sweep across the country. Thousands of people will freeze and starve to death this winter. Therefore, I ask Your Highness to show mercy and save the people of Silla. Bar!"

Jin Shengman didn't know what was wrong with him, but he actually showed such a weak side in front of Li Yin, not only telling the truth about Silla, but even he couldn't help crying.Capital Datang 314

In fact, if it wasn't for the "persecution" of her cousin before she died, Jin Shengman was unwilling to sit on the throne from the bottom of her heart, and after becoming the second queen of Silla, she not only had to deal with the offensive of the Baekje army, It is also necessary to win over the major forces in the country, and at the same time attack those who have ulterior motives for their own throne.

Although in the eyes of others, Jin Shengman has done a good job, and can even be said to be an excellent king, but don't forget that she is only a woman under 20 years old after all, and it is too early to deal with the situation in Silla. It already made her feel physically and mentally exhausted, not to mention that there was a Li Yin secretly making troubles, making the situation in Silla even more difficult to control.

It was precisely because of the above reasons that Jin Shengman, who had no good impression of Li Yin, hated him even more.However, in order to keep a glimmer of hope for Silla, Jin Shengman put aside his personal feelings and married Li Yin regardless of domestic reactions. At the same time, he also hoped to use Li Yin's power to help Silla through this unprecedented crisis famine.

Originally, with Jin Shengman's strong personality, although he is married to Li Yin, he will never show his weak side in front of the other party, let alone beg him bitterly.But maybe it was the last time when Li Yin unexpectedly saved her life, Jin Shengman's mentality towards Li Yin changed slightly, and that's why he showed his weakness so abruptly today. one side.

Seeing Jin Shengman's begging expression, even Wen'er and Hua'er felt a little unbearable. Although they had not known Jin Shengman for a long time, they also knew that the Queen of Silla was a very strong person, and she had never She never begged for anything from others, and even when Li Yin bullied her, she dared to find a way to return it.But it is a woman who is so strong, but now she puts down her self-esteem and pleads with Li Yin on behalf of the people in her own country, which makes them who are also women feel very sympathetic.

Li Yin looked at Jin Shengman who shed tears in front of him for the first time, and then turned his head to look at the refugee camp outside the window. Frozen limbs, it seems that some people have died in this heavy snow.
