Bangai Gongnan, under the Buddha Head Mountain, Bodhi Temple.

Because the orange trees are planted all over the mountain, the orange trees bloom in early summer, and the mountains are all white, and the scenery is extremely beautiful, so it is also called the orange temple......

It is rumored that this temple is built by Prince Shotoku, it is also the place where the prince was born, according to legend, when the prince preached the victory Sutra here, the lotus flower fell from the sky, and a thousand Buddha heads appeared on the mountain, because of this Chery, so this temple was built, and this mountain was called the Buddha Head Mountain, which has always been highly respected.

Today, Tachibana-ji Temple is the residence of the Light Prince.

The night rain was pouring down, and the yellow leaves of the orange trees on the mountain were washed away by the rain and fell one after another, and it was cold and desolate.

In the Zen room, there are candles from the Tang Dynasty, which are very bright.

The light prince is over the middle of his life, his short figure is a little fat, his belly is protruding, and it is a little difficult to kneel on the mat, but it is difficult to hide his excitement and joy.

Sitting in front of him was none other than Nanyuan, who was highly respected by the prince of Katsuragi, and the monk Min......

The tea on the coffee table was fragrant and steamy, and the light prince was in high spirits: "Who would have thought that things would change like this? Now that His Majesty the Emperor has collapsed, the Soga family and the Katsuragi family have formed a blood feud again, and there is no one to support the Soga family except me. ”

The light prince's father, King Mori, was the son of the elder brother of Emperor Minda's son, Hiko Oshisaka, and the half-brother of Emperor Shumei. He was also married to the daughter of Emperor Sakurai, the son of Emperor Kenmei, and had two daughters, Emperor Hogoku (Emperor Gogoku) and a light prince.

According to the emperor's bloodline, when Emperor Gogoku died, not only her son Katsuragi and Umito had the right to succeed to the throne, but also the light prince......

Monk Min frowned slightly, cautious about the optimism of the light prince: "Right now, the Su I clan has controlled the entire palace, covering the sky with one hand, and the power is about to climb to unprecedented heights, in case ...... Soga Ezo wolf son ambition to further seize the position of emperor, what should I do? ”

If the Soga family wants to choose one of the emperors' bloodlines to inherit the emperor's throne, the eldest brother of the ancients born to Soga Ezo's sister is no longer the best candidate, because once the eldest brother of the ancients is elected to the throne, it will not only cause the dissatisfaction of the imperial family, but also make the world think that this is the Soga family's deliberate efforts to eradicate the prince of Katsuragi, just to make room for the eldest brother of the ancients......

However, the Soga family did not choose the path of a prince to support him as the emperor.

They can take the throne on their own and cut off the Emperor's inheritance in one fell swoop!

The light prince didn't think so, and personally poured tea for the two, and said: "If it was before, maybe the Su I family was really ambitious and coveted the emperor's position, but Su I Ishikawa Maro and Su I Ishikawa Maro both died tragically, and the descendants of the Su I family were almost cut off, and the descendants of Su I Ishikawa Maro have no mature people, and they can't make a big deal." Soga Ezo is a masterpiece of a generation, the most scheming, how can he risk the great danger to seize the throne of the emperor and pass it on to those mediocre people? That is not the establishment of the Baishi Foundation by the Fubao family, but also the sowing of the disaster of the extinction of the Su family...... Su I Ezo is wise, and I must not do it. ”

Seng Min has always admired the wisdom of the light prince, and now listening to what he said, thinking about it carefully, he felt that it made sense, so he put down his worries, picked up the teacup, and took a shallow sip.

The rainy night is cold, a sip of hot tea into the stomach, the warm current is turbulent, and it is very comfortable.

Nan Yuan on the side sighed gloomily......

He supported the seizure of power by the prince of Katsuragi, although he had the intention of standing in the front for the light prince, hoping to use the power of the prince of Katsuragi to destroy the Soga family, causing a trend of forcing the emperor to abdicate and make way for the virtuous, and then secretly gathered the forces of the "crossing people" to help the light prince ascend to the throne of the emperor.

But in the final analysis, he still values the two students, the prince of Katsuragi and the middle minister Kamazu, but he never thought that the combat power of the Su family would be so strong, and in the case of Su I's ambush, he could still brazenly attack the palace and turn things around!

The current situation has long exceeded his expectations, not only the prince of Katsuragi and the Nakatomi Kamazu and a large number of "Watarito" officials have been slaughtered, but even the light prince must be supported by the Soga family to ascend to the throne......

It is conceivable that for a long time to come, the government of the Japanese state will still be controlled by the Su family, and no one will be able to intervene.

It is impossible to talk about the reform of the heart's mind......

The sound of rain in the courtyard was faintly heard, mixed with the sound of hurried footsteps.

Before long, the door was kicked open with a "bang" from the outside, and a team of people rushed into the house with the wind and rain, all covered in armor and menacing.

Nan Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Who is so rude and trespassing? ”

The crowd separated, and one person walked out of the back row, glanced at Nan Yuan, and said disdainfully: "In Xia Su I Mingtai, on the order of the old master, I came to meet His Royal Highness the Light Prince......

The light prince had already gotten up, with a happy face, waved his hand at Nan Yuan, and said with a smile: "Mr. don't be harsh, the rainy night is cold, and it is reasonable for Su My virtuous disciple to be impatient...... and then looked at Su I Mingtai, and asked with a smile: "I don't know what Ling Zun has to teach you?" ”

If there are no accidents, this is to ask yourself to come forward and help yourself to ascend the throne......

Su I Mingtai stared at the light prince and said in a deep voice: "The old master is ordered to come down and bid farewell to His Highness." ”

The light prince's smile froze on his face, and he was puzzled: "Resign? What does Ling Zun want? ”

Su I Mingtai said: "It's not that my father is traveling far away, but the lord of the old family is ordering to send His Royal Highness on the next journey, and I see His Majesty the Emperor and the prince of Katsuragi ......."

Speaking of this, he waved his hand and shouted: "Kill!" ”

Hearing this, a group of soldiers and dead soldiers behind him drew their swords and stepped forward, and for a while the sword flashed and the figures were one after another, and after a short scream, the unprepared light prince was hacked to death with a random knife, and fell to the ground on his back, his eyes were round, and he did not blink to death.

He didn't even understand why Soga Ezo would kill him, the most suitable person to inherit the throne of the emperor......

Your sons and brothers are dead, why do you still covet the throne of the emperor?

The most wronged is Nan Yuan's invitation to An and Seng Min, these two people rushed here overnight to discuss with the light prince, but unexpectedly they killed themselves and sent them to the door......

Seeing that the light prince had been killed, Su I Mingtai did not stop, his expression was fierce and his eyes showed a fierce light, and he ordered: "The orange temple has been besieged outside, and you will wait for the search room by room, and everyone will be killed, and no one will be left!" ”

"Yes!"

"Hulala" A group of dead soldiers rushed out of the house with blood-stained steel knives and ran to various houses.

The sound of the rain drowned out the screams, but it could not hide the sin of killing......

*****

At the same time, inside the palace, the killing was also taking place.

Su Ma Li commanded his dead soldiers to rush into the residence of the royal family, and when he saw people, he killed them and cut them down, killing people's heads and bleeding like a river!

He wants to use this means to force Soga Ezo to agree with him to seize the throne of the emperor, and at the same time destroy the emperor's bloodline, and there is no need to worry about the future!

When Soga Ezo received the news, he hurried to the palace without even tidying up his clothes, and saw corpses everywhere and blood that had been washed away by the rain......

"Confused! What you did today is to dig a grave for the Su family, and sooner or later, the Su family will repeat the mistakes of today's royal family, and the dead family will be wiped out! ”

Su I'm eye-splitting and heartbroken.

He really couldn't imagine that the temptation of the emperor's position could make Sogama, who had always been calm and peaceful, do such crazy things.

Standing in front of the Great Pole Hall in the heavy rain, Su Ma Li Shi looked at the angry Su I Ezo, and said indifferently: "Since ancient times, which family can last for thousands of years?" The emperor's bloodline is extremely respectful, known as the first line of the world, and now he is not all ambushed and slaughtered? It's the same with my family, no one can see what will happen tomorrow, and now that there is this opportunity to ascend to the sky in one fell swoop, why miss it in vain? You ask the children of the clan whether they are willing to take risks for the supreme and exalted position, or are they still supporting a puppet as they have done in the past, and are willing to be subordinate? ”

The torches were lit under the rain corridor in front of the Great Pole Hall, and the crackling grease sounded softly, and all the children of the Su family stood left and right, without saying a word.

There is no need to speak, but the will has been fully expressed......

Su Izo's face was pale, his old face was haggard and remorseful, he sighed, his straight back slowly bent down, he slowly turned around, and accompanied by his attendants, he staggered out of the palace.

He didn't expect that people's greed was so strong, so strong that even if he knew that there might be an abyss in front of him, he still had to take the risk for that mouthful of honey and climb the tree on the cliff......

It's just that everything doesn't matter anymore.

Everyone was on the side of Sogamo's power, or rather the side of the desire for power, and abandoned him.

From now on, there is no room for him to speak.

Since then, the bloodline of the emperor of the eternal line has been severed, and the country of the Japanese has to change the day, and the peak of power that the Su family is about to climb has also stepped into the abyss of extinction with one foot......
