The 261st chapter is supported by the people

The people's hearts are available, but to a certain extent, it is impossible for those who are superior to turn a blind eye. What's more, the status of Silla kings is far from so transcendent, so they will naturally know the public opinion of the people immediately. If it were the Jin Dynasty, it would be possible to turn a blind eye to public opinion.

Just like anything, the real powers of Silla in the palace were divided into two opinions. One faction advocated the use of the rhetoric to the fore, and the other faction advocated that the goodwill of the Jin army could not be easily believed. The Lord and the Lord's battle have coexisted since ancient times. The ministers facing Silla King now are like their ancestors and descendants, and it makes sense to listen to them no matter how they hear them.

The pro-war faction believed that although the Jin army is now in a large-scale attack, no one knows when it will turn against each other. Now tens of thousands of troops are not far from Jinshan City. If they turn against each other, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Some people raised objections, saying that they had been to the Jin Dynasty and saw the style of the ministers of the Jin Dynasty. The gentry regarded their face more important than anything else. It was absolutely impossible to do such repetitive things. For any prince, reputation is extremely important.

What the pro-war faction said is very reasonable, and what the pro-peace faction said is also very reasonable. This is of course. If it is unreasonable, why can the two kinds of people coexist since ancient times? However, after in-depth debate, the pro-peace faction's voice was obviously better.

"Many people with bad intentions say that they want to fight to the death with the Jin army. I don't know if they know that even the enemy of the previous king, Baekje, has now been in the Great Jin account. We are evenly matched with Baekje. We were defeated repeatedly during the previous kings. The King of Baekje is still like this now. What are the benefits of us fighting hard? It's better to obey temporarily. Anyway, the Jin army will withdraw sooner or later. At that time, this is not our final say. In my opinion, what do you think about wanting to fight with the Jin army?"

Some noble ministers spoke out, opposing to fight against tens of thousands of Jin troops. What the nobles need is stability, not death. What are the benefits for them to die? So they all spoke out.

The most profound reason is that the Jin army is in an absolutely strong position. The Silla nobles were afraid in their hearts and did not want to fight hard. Although the people were ignorant, they were hit by the King of Yan, who was well versed in routines, and they grasped what they thought in their hearts. This kind of thought was to show their face and want to be introverted, and the public opinion created by Sima Ji was against this psychology.

The aristocratic class itself does not want to fight to the death. The people were distracted by Sima Ji's rhythmic operation and placed their hopes on my king's great power. The mere thief of King Yan was forced to retreat by the king's aura and signed an alliance under the city. This was beyond help.

King Silla himself was hesitant, but more and more nobles were speaking out and advocating peace, and the balance in his heart gradually began to tilt.

"If it fails, there is no need to mention it too much. If this plan is feasible, you must not be lenient. All the men of Silla aristocraticism must be killed and the bone system must be abolished." Almost at the same time, Sima Jiyin's tone of the Jin army's large tent directly erased the wishful thinking of Silla aristocraticism in Jinshan City.

The Silla nobles determine their rank and identity and corresponding official rank according to their bloodlines. Different bone ranks do not match marriages. The bone ranks remain unchanged.

This system determines the degree of respect according to personal bones, that is, hereditary bloodline, and sets the maximum limit for holding an official position according to different levels. Only if a certain bone grade reaches a certain level can a certain official position be granted. A person's career is restricted by the hierarchical identity of an individual in the bone system. Not only that, bone grades also determine the size of a residence where a Silla residents can live.

The bloodline of the children born to the Holy Bone Male and the Holy Bone Girl is the first bone grade, and it is a royal family. All bones are self-sealed and do not intermarry with each other, and even more so are bones and non-bone products. "The bones and bones do not marry each other",

Sima Ji thought that the gentry of the Jin Dynasty was straightforward enough. A few days ago, I realized that Silla had such a system, so I realized that Greater China is indeed a natural leader of the Eastern world. The ruling class of the Jin Dynasty, which was incapable of making moves, was actually advanced compared to the surrounding small countries. After a little understanding of the bone quality system, Sima Ji put the third brother's caste system upwards and instantly realized that at least males of the Silla nobles must not be kept. The soil is bad and there will definitely be no good fruit.

"Search into two groups, select a hundred loyal men, and find a way to get into the city." Sima Ji ordered He Long, "To solve Silla at the minimum cost, we can only let some people take some risks, lurk in the city, and wait for an opportunity to move. The number of people must not be too large, otherwise it will be obvious."

"There are not many hundred soldiers, and they can't bring them in with long spears and waist knives. They can only bring short swords into the city. I don't know what the chance of winning is." He Long just understood as soon as he heard that Sima Ji was preparing to copy the action that stole the Goguryeo Pass at that time.

"There are always risks, and there must be brave men under heavy rewards. These hundred soldiers are dangerous, and my siege army of tens of thousands can be retained. Besides, Jinshan City should not be difficult to steal." Sima Ji had heard the guards talk about the walls of Jinshan City, probably the height of the buildings in his previous life. To put it more, Sima Ji's home is on the second floor.

If you think that the Jin army was just a horse in the south mountain recently, it would be wrong. Sima Ji also secretly created siege weapons, but they hid it very well and have not taken it out now. There are also many merchant ships in Youzhou, including strong attack, siege or stealing camp. This is just a solution, and preparation is to do everything.

"I'll go and choose the suicide sect, General, do you need to make some preparations?" He Long nodded and asked, "The comfort of Your Highness is the most important thing at that time."

He Long was quite afraid that Sima Ji would have some shortcomings. If the commander brought him in, he would have good fruits as the general? Sima Ji knew He Long's concerns and said nothing, "I have my own considerations and will not be in danger."

"General, the envoy of King Silla left the city and discussed the enthronement outside the city." A soldier outside the tent hurriedly came in to report, "Now the envoy is waiting outside the camp."

"It's done!" Sima Ji laughed but immediately restrained himself. He changed into another look and said to the sergeant who reported the news, "Since he is a Silla envoy, don't neglect him, let him in immediately."

Of course, the main purpose of the Silla messenger was to test, but testing was not scary. What was scary was that the other party did not even have a temptation. Sima Ji knew that this was a critical moment, so he and the other party were vain and condemned the enemy. Sometimes he said that the time was calculated. The enthronement edict of the capital should be on the way, and sometimes he said that he would set up a high platform in the suburbs to join in the grand ceremony. What etiquette should be thoughtful, not neglected, etc., and that it would reflect the majesty of the country. This is not a trivial matter.

Although the King of Yan was ignorant of learning and knew little about it, it was not a problem to fool a Silla envoy. Such an opportunity would not be available in the Great Jin Dynasty. Sima Ji would not let go of such a pretentious moment, satisfying his knowledge that had been suppressed for many years.

"The King of Yan is indeed a well-educated man, and the villain admires it." The Silla envoy was so confused that he bowed and flattered.

"So, it's not bad for you small countries to learn from us." Sima Ji put on an air and explained our opinions in detail, and then waited for the other party to shout long live, and then bowed.

According to Sima Ji's intention, the platform has begun to be built, which is located at the middle point between the Jin army camp and Jinshan City. It is the most suitable place. When it is close to Jinshan City, the King of Yan feels unsafe. When it is close to Jinshan City, the King of Yan feels unsafe. When it is close to Jinshan Camp, the King of Silla may feel unsafe. It happens to be a safe distance, which both sides can accept.

Of course, this cannot be compared with Fengshan. Since the Han Dynasty, an altar was set up in the east of Mount Tai, and a seal ceremony was held to worship the sky. Jade letters were buried. Afterwards, the emperor and a few ministers climbed to the top of Mount Tai and held the second seal ceremony. The sacrifice of heaven was adopted to worship the Taiyi God, and three layers of the altar were set up, surrounded by the five-layer altars of the Five Emperors, killing white deer, pig, white yak, etc. as sacrifices. The one-thora of three ridge grass produced in the Jianghuai area was used as a divine book, and the five-color earth was used to seal it. The strange beasts and birds were placed all over the mountain to show good fortune.

Sima Ji didn't care about doing some superficial work, but he was afraid that King Silla would not be able to bear it, so after simplifying, he created a decent arrangement for the enthronement ceremony.

"I have decided to accept the enthronement when the imperial edict of the Great Jin Dynasty arrives." Xi Ruli sighed a long sigh, but in the end, because the lord and the sect are in high spirits, they finally chose to adopt the opinions of most nobles.

Although the voice of Confucianism in the past was not very loud, the nobles under the palace still heard it clearly. Understanding that their king had made the decision, most nobles were relieved, and the days of peace were coming soon.

About ten days later, Sima Ji was ready, and asked Zhang Tong, the prefect of the county of Defang County, who had arrived here for a few days, to personally go to Jinshan City to meet with the Silla King and many nobles in the city. He also discussed the matter of etiquette and said that the Silla King must treat it with the etiquette of his subjects.

When Zhang Tong left, the hundreds of soldiers he brought were silently fewer, and no one noticed this.

This day was a festive day for the people of Silla in the entire Jinshan City. Xiruli, who came out of the palace, seemed to have never felt so popular for many years. Every citizen looked at themselves with an expectant look, and his heart was full of expectations. This made Xiruli who had reluctantly agreed to it feel relieved. His body was straight on his horse, showing his kingly demeanor in front of his subjects. He led the palace guard out of Jinshan City with neither humble nor arrogant.
