Chapter 1802: Fanning the Flames
The outside of Soga Ezo's meditation room was heavily guarded, and two rows of bald monks stood neatly under the eaves like javelins.
Since the victory of the Soga clan over the monobe clan and the "battle of faith", Buddhism has developed rapidly in the Wa Kingdom under the vigorous promotion of the Soga clan, except for some nobles who still believe in the local gods and religions, the people all believe in Buddhism, and even among the nobles are mixed beliefs, both believe in Buddhism, but also do not want to lose the gods and religions handed down by their ancestors, making it indecent......
Buddhist temples are all over the country.
Asuka Kyoto alone, there are more than 20 Buddhist temples, including six or seven large-scale Buddhist temples, Asuka Temple, Tachibana Temple, Toyoura-ji Temple, and Kukuma-ji Temple...... There are large Buddhist temples all there, with several golden halls, pagodas, and incense.
Correspondingly, the number of monks increased suddenly.
Many displaced people who lost their land struggled to make ends meet, and did not want to become slaves of the clans, so they simply went to the monasteries to marry monks. Most of the temples in the Wa Kingdom were built by various wealthy families, and so many young and strong people came to them, so they naturally had to be armed and act as thugs.
Therefore, Asuka Jingzhong is a temple, and the total number of monks and soldiers is not less than 10,000......
These monks and soldiers are all young and strong, and they are trained, and they have good food, and the quality of individual soldiers is definitely not inferior to that of the army, or even surpassed, and they are an armed force that cannot be ignored by the wealthy families.
In fact, it was the same in the Tang Dynasty, during the turbulent years of the late Sui and early Tang dynasties, most monasteries would contain young and strong people and organize themselves to act as an armed force to protect the monasteries from being harassed and invaded by homeless people and bandits......
Wang Xuance walked to the door, and was stopped by two short but muscular monks, he turned around slightly, and the interpreter behind him followed, explaining the situation to the two monks, saying that this was the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, and wanted to ask to see Su I Ezo, and there was something important to discuss.
As soon as they heard that it was the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, the two monks did not dare to slack off, and the two were busy inside.
After a while, he came out and respectfully invited Wang Xuance to enter......
Wang Xuance walked into the door, took off his robe at the entrance of the door, and hung it on the hanger with his own monks, and then led Wang Xuance into the meditation room.
Su I Ezo was kneeling behind a plan, concentrating on what was written on the bamboo paper, hearing the footsteps, raising his head and seeing that it was Wang Xuance, he smiled slightly, left and right, and said: "Please also ask the distinguished guest to do a while, the old man will be fine immediately." ”
Wang Xuance stepped forward to salute, and then knelt on one side.
The servant served the fragrant tea, Wang Xuance thanked him, took it with both hands, and then put it on the low table beside him, watching Su I Ezo write a letterhead.
After a while, Su I Ezo put away the pen, picked up the letterhead, gently dried the ink on it, and then got up, handed it to a monk beside him, and advised: "Enter Beijing immediately and send it to my uncle, and you must not delay on the way." ”
The monk took the letterhead with both hands, then turned and left the room, disappearing into the rain outside the door......
Su I Ezo straightened his waist, looked at Wang Xuance and said with a smile: "The mountain temple is simple, and the nobles can still live in the habit?" ”
He also has a little understanding of Wang Xuance, knowing that this is the son of the Huayin Yang family, the Huayin Yang family descended from the Han Dynasty, the family gate valve, the hairpin family, the Xuanhe family for nearly a thousand years, and its nobility is many times stronger than the Su I clan......
The current situation must be friendly with the Han people, at least there can be no conflict, so the children of this family in front of him must be the object of good life.
Wang Xuance said respectfully: "Thank you seniors for your concern, everything is very good." When the younger generation was in Chang'an, he also lived in the monastery, and he loved the tranquility of the mountain temple very much, as if floating out of the dust, but he had never heard of the temple in your country, but he wanted to die in the city. ”
Su I's eyes flashed, and he smiled: "The distinguished guest laughed...... Buddhism is pure and has no quarrel with the world, but in the final analysis, people who practice Buddhism are just ordinary people, and they can't do the six pure and clean red dust, so they will inevitably be disturbed by the world. But isn't this exactly the original intention of us to devote ourselves to cultivating Buddhism and participating in meditation and enlightenment? ”
Wang Xuance saw that Su I Ezo avoided the important and light, and did not mention the gathering of monks and soldiers in the temple, his eyes rolled, and he said tentatively: "The younger generation does not have such a heart as you, the Buddha door is deserted, it is too restrained, but I prefer the red dust and the world's lively and lively, last night the monks and soldiers in the temple were busy and busy, and the younger generation was curious, and did not sleep all night, but made the seniors laugh." ”
Soga Ezo groaned slightly.
Right now, this kid is really annoying, and he has already made it clear that you don't meddle in your affairs, but you still have to get to the bottom of it......
I don't want to say it, but I'm afraid of offending this person, the current situation in Beijing is confusing, no one knows who wins and who loses in the end, who lives and who dies, if you don't get the help of the Tang people when you live and die, then you are cocooning yourself and losing a lot.
Besides, this person is a Tang person, even if he talks about the details of Jingzhong, there is no obstacle to thinking about it.
rebellion, rebellion, and rebellion...... What country hasn't experienced it?
It may not be the one who lost the Wa Kingdom, and now the Tang Emperor is flying straight into the sky with a mutiny......
Thinking of this, Su I Ezo pretended to be angry, and said: "This is a matter of the Japanese country, and it is also a matter of the Su I family, I didn't want to surprise the eyes and ears of the distinguished guests, since the distinguished guests are interested, then the old man might as well talk to you......"
Then he sighed and said: "The Su I clan has been loyal to the royal family for generations, and has repeatedly had the merit of protecting the sky, and is willing to be the emperor's eagle dog, and the descendants will follow it from generation to generation. It's just that today, His Majesty is bewitched by traitors, and he has a deep prejudice against the Su My Clan, and he is afraid that he intends to be unfavorable to my son, and even wants to wipe out the blood worship of the Su My Clan...... My family has no choice but to raise troops into the palace to get rid of the traitors left and right by the emperor! ”
Wang Xuance's heart was pounding......
!
Is it really a fight?
God help me!
He said solemnly: "Before the junior came here, the marquis of my family told him more than once that he would definitely see his seniors, express his reverence for his predecessors, and promise you that as long as the seniors are in need, the marquis will do his best to help!" The emperor of your country is mediocre, and the predecessors are loyal to the country, and it is a necessary measure to punish the traitor and Kuang to support the dynasty, but I don't know what can be helped? Please also ask the seniors to speak bluntly, don't be polite. ”
Soga Ezo stroked his beard and looked depressed.
I have seen all kinds of prevarication when things come to the end, and I have seen treachery seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, but I have never seen such a rush to help others......
Now even he doesn't have the confidence to settle the matter, but why do the Tang people have such confidence in him?
Aren't you afraid that if you help yourself now, you will lose all your money in the future because of the defeat of the Su Wu clan?
Could it be that there are mountains of gold and silver on Sado Island, and it is worth letting the Tang people take it at any cost?
……
He didn't know that Wang Xuance didn't care whether the Su family lost or won, he Su I Ezo lived or died, as long as he could stir up the wind and fan the flames in the capital of the Japanese State, and make the turmoil of the Japanese government more and more ending, his purpose would be completed.
He was afraid that Su I's ambition was not big enough and he didn't fight hard enough......
Su I Ezo pondered for a moment, and then pondered and said: "The current situation is still under control, and besides, your country's sailors are far away in Sado, and the distant water can't save the near fire, even if the Su I clan is in danger, I'm afraid Your Excellency is helpless...... However, this kindness is remembered in my heart, and I am fortunate to be able to help the emperor to eliminate the national thief one day, and I have to go north to Sado in person, and I will meet the Tang Junyan of Huating for a while. ”
Wang Xuance was unimpressed by his words.
Most of the sailors who came with him this time stayed in Nambatsu, although the number was not large, only about 500 people, but all the elites were brave and good at fighting, and they were well-equipped and well-trained, how could they be resisted by a rabble of ordinary Japanese people? I dare not say that these 500 people against 5,000 people, a massacre is proper......
However, he also knew Su I's concerns, lest he get the help of Datang this time, and on the other day, Datang opened his mouth to ask him to repay the grace of today's help.
He knew that it was not advisable to persecute too much, otherwise it would cause rebellion, but instead he would add to the snake, so he said: "Since the seniors are confident, the younger generations wish you success and great achievements!" However, the junior brought a siege weapon with him this time, and if the senior does not give it up, he can give it to you......"
Su I Ezo perked up and asked, "But the kind of divine thunder that razed the capital of Linyi Kingdom, Singha Buluo City?" ”
The story of the Sangha city being razed to the ground overnight has long been spread all over the world, and the world does not care much about the bloody massacre of the Tang people, but they are shocked by the "divine thunder" that can cause the thick and strong city walls to collapse in an instant......
If nothing else, there will inevitably be a bloody battle in front of the palace gate, if there is a second-class "divine thunder" to help, not only can it be easy to make the palace gate collapse and the soldiers of the Su I clan will drive straight into the palace, but also let those stupid people see that the Su I clan "obeys the mandate of heaven", otherwise how can there be a "divine thunder from the sky" to help?
Wang Xuance smiled: "Exactly." ”
Su I Ezo was overjoyed: "Since Your Excellency has such an artifact as a gift, then the old decay is disrespectful......
Didn't you say "give"? Since it's a gift, I'm embarrassed to ask me for benefits afterwards, right?
Wang Xuance said happily: "The juniors will send someone to carry this thing and hand it over to the seniors to command." ”
