Chapter 1186 Queen
"There is a fish in the north, its name is Kun, and the size of the Kun is unknown. It turns into a bird. Its name is Peng, and its thousands of miles are unknown. It flies in anger, and its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky. .It is the bird, and the sea will migrate to Nanming. The Nanming is also Tianchi...My lord, what does this mean?"
Zhennan, Taiping.
In Wei Gongbao, Fan Ren, the son of Linyi Prince, asked Qin Lang.
"I know. Zhuangzi said that there was a fish in the North Sea named Kun. The size of the Kun was huge and it was thousands of miles away. The Kun turned into a bird and its name was Peng. The back of the Peng was I don't know how many thousands of miles it was. When flying, the spread wings are like clouds hanging in the sky. This roc bird will fly to the South China Sea when the sea water moves. The South China Sea is a naturally formed pool. When it migrates to the South China Sea, its wings It hits the water, and the waves it stirs up are three thousand miles away, and it rides the whirlwind to an altitude of ninety thousand miles, and leaves with the strong wind in June..., Grandpa, am I right?"
A cute girl younger than Fan Ren replied with a smile.
Qin Lang put his arms around the little girl and smiled, "Do you think it's possible?"
Fan Ren thought for a while, then shook his head, "The biggest sea beast I have ever seen is a giant whale stranded on the beach. It is more than six feet long and weighs 100,000 catties. It has a huge head, like a huge whale. Like tadpoles, I once heard from the gentleman in the palace that these whales are the biggest in the South China Sea, and it is said that these whales can also produce ambergris, "
Li Wan, the younger sister next to Qin Shu, slapped her hands and sang, "The Kun is so big that it can't be stewed in a pot, and it turns into a bird. Its name is Peng. Peng is so big that you need two barbecue grills, one secret and one slightly spicy. A bottle of fine wine, let's bravely travel to the end of the world..."
Fan Ren was speechless to this little girl's songs full of foodies, and said to Qin Shu very seriously, "The Kun and Peng, which are thousands of miles long, must be just myths and legends, and they cannot be real."
This remark aroused Qin Shu's dissatisfaction, and she immediately retorted, "If you didn't see it, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Grandpa said that the earth under our feet is also a huge ball like the sun, but it's covered with oceans and filled with water. It is a big water ball, and the sun is a huge fire ball. Although the sun looks small, it is very far away from us, more than one million times the earth under our feet."
“The moon in the sky is 800,000 miles away from us, and the earth under our feet is fifty times the size of the moon…”
Fan Ren shook his head, "Impossible, the moon is obviously bigger than the sun, how could the sun be millions of times bigger than the moon? And the moon is not far away from us, how could it be 800,000 miles away? Besides, your numbers How did you figure it out?"
"Grandpa told me, what Grandpa said must be right."
Qin Shu was not at all polite to Fan Ren, his half-brother, and had a sharp mouth.
The little girl Li Wan immediately told her elder sister, "Yes, what Grandpa said is correct."
Qin Langye Linyi Queen Fan Lin and Princess Lizhi and a group of people sat aside, watching them quarrel, only found it funny.
Both Qin Shu and Qin Wan are Qin Lang's youngest daughters, playing elves is weird, there are always a hundred thousand reasons, sometimes Qin Lang will give them science popularization, the little girl likes to listen, others always think Qin Lang said It's bullshit, but only they believe it.
"Grandpa made me a stargazing telescope, and I can see the hills and valleys on the moon."
When Qin Lang was free, he did make some simple things like astronomical telescopes and microscopic magnifying glasses for her. Although it was rough, it did open the door to a new world. For this little girl, it was amazing. Not only can you see valleys on the moon hundreds of thousands of miles away, you can also see people more than ten miles away, and you can even see clearly some small things that are invisible in a drop of water.
The little ones are fascinated by small experiments such as grinding ice cubes into a convex environment and lighting a fire by gathering sunlight.
Because of this, when reading Xiaoyaoyou, when others thought that the Kunpeng with a size of thousands of miles was impossible, she thought it was true.
I firmly believe in the records of various miraculous things in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
Fan Ren looked a little weak, but he was also a stubborn one, and he refused to give in to his sister, so the two quarreled there, and you came and went non-stop.
Queen Linyi just came back from Luoyang to meet the emperor and passed by Wu'an Taiping Port, and came here to meet Qin Lang and the princess.
Since the queen came to the throne, she has worked tirelessly to go to the Central Plains to meet the emperor almost every year. She is very respectful to the court and is very satisfied with the emperor and the court.
When the princess and the queen met, there was nothing like sparks hitting the earth. Instead, the two kept laughing. Since they were not embarrassed, Qin Lang was fine.
"This time I specially took the son to Luoyang to meet the emperor. The saint likes the son very much."
"I invited more than a dozen Confucian scholars from the Tang Dynasty to be my son's teachers. They all studied the Nine Classics of Confucianism seriously." The princess said that the child is very proud. This child has a bit of Qin Lang's shadow on him. Also handsome.
"If you are in any trouble, you can tell me directly! Do we still need to see each other?" Qin Lang said.
"Well, Shali Yishana has been entangled in these years, sending envoys to propose marriage every time, but I refused."
"Is that the King of Zhenla?" Qin Lang asked.
The queen said helplessly, "This is the man." When Yishena was only a prince, his elder brother, Prince Chenla, made a marriage contract with the queen who was still Princess Linyi. Later, Yishena killed his elder brother to seize the heir. Ask him to continue the marriage with the princess.
The princess hated this man's viciousness and ran away from marriage. Yi Shana first secretly supported the rebellion of the general of Linyi Kingdom, broke through the king's capital and killed King Linyi. Later, Fan Lin met Qin Lang, and finally with Qin Lang's help, he borrowed from Tang The soldiers returned to the country successfully.
The Prince of Chenla at that time also became the King of Chenla. With his elite elephant army, he fought all over the surrounding invincibles, destroyed many small countries, and defeated the remnants of the former suzerain Funan Kingdom.
After Shali Isana ascended the throne first, he changed his name to Isanavarman I according to the tradition. After he failed to invade Linyi several times, he began to negotiate instead, trying to change the relationship between the two countries through marriage.
In fact, I still want to change my mind to control Linyi.
Back then, Zhenla was originally a feudal vassal state of Funan Kingdom. Funan Kingdom had a long history and was very powerful. However, Funan Kingdom was different from the Qin and Han empires in the Central Plains. It belonged to a relatively loose alliance system.
A large number of small countries such as Chenla belong to the feudal state of Funan. It is said that Chenla was not a country at the beginning, but a large number of nobles in Funan who divided the north and south of the Biandan Mountains. Therefore, the King of Chenla used to be called the chief of the Biandan .
The leader of the King of Funan, according to the translation of Funan Khmer, means the emperor of the valley, so it is also called the Emperor of the Mountain.
Funan has a long history, but a few generations ago, Chenla Kingdom was only one of a series of feudal states in Funan.
Yishanaxian's uncle, originally the prince of Funan, later married the princess of King Chenla. After the death of the old king of Chenla, Funan Kingdom, relying on its strong suzerain strength, forced his son, the son-in-law of Chenla, to become the king of Chenla and changed his name to Patvavarman I.
But what the old King of Funan did not expect was that his method of occupying the magpie's nest planted a hidden danger for the Funan Kingdom.
When the old King of Funan died, the Prince of Funan, who had already taken control of Chenla, immediately competed with his brother, the current Prince of Funan, for the throne. He claimed that he had the will of his father to succeed him.
How could Prince Funan accept it?
As a result of the civil strife in Funan, Babavarman I sent his mother and brother to kill Lizhi Doss to command the Chenla army to attack the Prince of Funan.
Babavarman I died of illness not long after his reign. At that time, he had already mastered the military and political power, and the younger brother of the king who had destroyed Funan's great achievements, killed Nazhiduosna, who succeeded him as king, called Mahaindravarman. Under control, Chenla almost annexed the entire Funan Kingdom.
There were only sporadic resistance in Funan, and the royal family of Funan was forced to go to sea by boat and ran to Java, where they defeated the local Haling Kingdom, which originally believed in Shivaism and was ruled by the Sanjaya family, and continued to fight against Funan. banner.
The king continued to call himself the Shandi Dynasty, so he was also called the Shandi Dynasty by outsiders, and some people called them the Shalentra Dynasty, or the Sharondara Dynasty.
Speaking of Chenla, Maha Indravarman led Chenla to dominate, and his son Yishana was a well-known evil prince. After his death, Yishana succeeded to the throne and became the first prince of Chenla. Three kings, known as Ishanavarman I.
After Varman I succeeded to the throne, he continued to expand his policy. He was almost invincible in conquests from east to west, but in the battle with Linyi, he won less and lost more. It was all because after the civil strife in Linyi, the queen fully attached to the Central Plains Tang Dynasty. Those who are experts in Sinicization reforms, those who are outsiders rely on the Tang Dynasty's policy, open up seas to promote business, and even hire Tang mercenaries to fight against Chenla. With the powerful Tang mercenaries, Chenla has almost never won.
If you can't win, then get married. Yishanavarman I always wanted to marry the queen of Linyi, and even publicly said that she didn't mind the matter between the queen and Qin Lang, and would like to treat Fan Ren as his own son in the future, etc. But the queen didn't know what his plan was, that was to annex Lin Yi through marriage.
At that time, his uncle was the son-in-law of Princess Funan, and later became the king of Zhenla. When the king of Funan died, he dared to ask to inherit the king of Funan. If Yi Shena married Queen Linyi first, he would definitely want to annex Linyi.
The queen has always refused to agree to this matter, so the unwilling Yishana first thought of another plan. First, he proposed to let his son Prince Chenla marry Princess Linyi, but the princess still refused, so he now proposes to marry Princess Chenla to Linyi. Lin Yi's eldest son, Fan Ren, wanted to marry his relatives anyway, and even publicly declared that if the queen refused to marry, then he would personally lead troops to fight.
Anyway, this matter is endless.
But at this time, he also succeeded in gaining a foothold in Java Island and rebuilt the Prince of Funan, the son of the former Prince of Funan. Now he also wants to counterattack and return to Funan. He heard that there was another conflict between Linyi and Chenla in Haishang. Immediately afterwards, the prince was sent to Linyi in person, not only sent a lot of spices, but also made a request for marriage.
