In the history of the Wa Kingdom, the Zhongchen family name is a very legendary surname.

Legend has it that the Chen's clan originated from the great god of Tian'er House's root life - Zhongchen Lian, who is the ancestral god of the Zhongchen clan and has a very high reputation.

Nakatomi Kamazu's birthplace was Fujiwara, Yamato Koshi-gun, and after his death, the emperor gave him the Fujiwara surname in his birthplace, and some of his descendants followed the Fujiwara surname, and some of them followed the Nakatomi surname, until Fang Jun crossed, the Nakatomi surname was still used as an Ise priest, a representative of the gods, in charge of sacrifices, gods, etc.

On the hill of Nakatomi Town, Kyoto, there is a shrine called Nakatomi Shrine......

Of course, that's an afterthought.

Not long ago, the Nakatomi clan asked Nakatomi Kamazu to inherit the family business as a priest, and Nakatomi Kamazu was known to have the ambition to support the great cause, and he did not want to become a priest, so he resigned and retreated to the other residence of Mishima in Settsu Province.

Today's autumn rain continued, and I was depressed, so I came to Beijing to look for Prince Katsuragi, which coincided with the arrival of the letter of Abehirov, the national guard of the Yue Kingdom......

Zhongchen picked up the letterhead from the table, read it carefully, and a pair of sword eyebrows gradually condensed.

After reading it, he gently put it on the table, pondered for a moment, and then said: "This matter is really weird, it is said that the Tang Dynasty sailors went to the Flowing Ghost Country to submit their credentials, even if they found that some Tang people were trapped on Sado Island and even tortured and killed on the way, they should not delay their journey to the Flowing Ghost Country in disregard of the emperor's will, but instead capture Sado Island with great fanfare." Moreover, this is another extortion of money and a clamor for land cessation...... It's hard to understand what that means. ”

Prince Katsuragi said, "According to Mr. Wang, how should I deal with it?" ”

Zhongchen Kazuzu shook his head with a wry smile: "I can't even grasp the true intentions of others, how can I deal with it?" Sun Tzu once said: Knowing oneself and knowing that the other is invincible, now our eyes are black, how to deal with it may be to take care of one or the other, I am afraid that it is the Tang people's preparation. ”

He and the prince of Katsuragi were both taught by the great Confucian Nanyuan of the Wa Kingdom, and Nanyuan asked for an and Gao Xiang Xuanli, Seng Min and other foreign students and monks who studied abroad in the Central Plains in the four years of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, witnessed the fall of the Sui Dynasty and the rise of the Tang Dynasty, and did not return to the Wa Kingdom until the tenth year of Zhenguan, and spread the advanced knowledge learned from the Central Plains back to the Wa Kingdom.

This led to a boom in Sinology culture quickly rose in the Wa Kingdom, and even the Emperor Huangji was very eager for the powerful Tang Dynasty, and even imitated the appearance of the Taiji Palace to build the main hall of the Pangai Palace, and named it "Daji Palace".

His Majesty Li Er is majestic and heroic, and the place where he lives is "Tai", and the place where he lives is named "Big", one east and one west, one yin and one yang, one female and one male, complement each other......

Nan Yuan asked An to bring back countless classics of scripture and history.

Therefore, whether it is the middle minister Kamazu or the prince of Katsuragi, they have all read "The Art of War......

The prince of Katsuragi was angry, slapped the table, and said angrily: "The Tang Dynasty is too deceitful! Even if its national strength is strong, can it really think that it can dominate the world and not take all countries in the world in its eyes? If you gather the elite soldiers from all over the world and fight fiercely with the Tang Dynasty Sailors, this is the native of our country, and it is inconvenient for the Tang Sailors to go on an expedition and supply, so it is difficult to wait for work and defeat it? ”

Zhongchen Kazuku smiled bitterly twice, disapproving in his heart, but did not comment.

The prince in front of him is eloquent and strategic, and he is a rare person in the royal family, but he has not been frustrated, and his temperament is inevitably high and arrogant, and there is no one in his eyes.

But on the other hand, this is also a good thing, the proud must be confident, the confident can move forward, if everything is forward, and how to fight a bloody road in the chaotic and turbulent situation of the Wa State, the great cause of the revival of the Wa State, and the Tang Dynasty across the sea is shorter and longer?

So he didn't admonish Prince Katsuragi, but said euphemistically: "It's just a Sado, why worry about it?" As you said, if the expedition of the Tang Dynasty was not a last resort, it would definitely be unwilling to go to war with the Japanese state. That Huating Marquis was so aggressive, I think it was because the Tang people were killed and lost face, and they refused to give in. At that time, it is only necessary to exert pressure on it, and it will be able to retreat in the face of difficulties and relax the conditions. ”

"But even if the conditions are relaxed and the land is not ceded, won't you still have to pay compensation?" Prince Katsuragi frowned.

Although the Tang people are strong, but if they bully people to the doorstep, if they swallow their anger, wouldn't it be an insult to the national prestige of the Japanese country?

Zhongchen Kazuzu said: "Then pay for it." ”

Prince Katsuragi suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Compensation? The Marquis of the Tang Dynasty is insatiable, and he actually has a huge sum of millions of yuan in one mouth, how can he afford it? ”

Zhongchen lowered his eyelids and wrote lightly: "Why worry about your feet? And you don't have to pay for it. ”

The prince of Katsuragi said angrily: "What is this called? The money has to come out of the treasury...... Uh......"

At this point, it came to an abrupt end.

He stared at Zhongchen's sickle foot with wide eyes, hesitated for a long time, and was silent.

The two looked at each other and confirmed their eyes......

Zhongchen Kazuzu glanced at the two mud-tired wood-like maids standing in the hall, and knew that this was the henchman of the prince of Katsuragi, so he no longer concealed it, but lowered his voice slightly, and said: "The foot is just a prince, whether to start a war with the Tang Dynasty, whether to cut the land, whether to pay compensation...... What does it have to do with you? ”

Prince Katsuragi understood.

No matter what the decision is, it is the responsibility of the emperor, and although the final decision is not necessarily the emperor's will, because the decision made by the court and the central government is not something that the emperor can decide in a word, it must be the emperor who is ultimately responsible.

Only the emperor is the supreme leader, and no one else can bear this responsibility......

Regardless of whether the land is ceded or the compensation is paid, it will inevitably cause great damage to the emperor's prestige.

Don't look at the mother and son, in the face of fierce political struggles, everything can be separated, weighed, and given up, not to mention that if it weren't for his mother, Emperor Jiji, who united with the Soga clan to suppress all forces in the DPRK and China, he would have already sat on the throne of the emperor, instead of being suppressed everywhere as a prince, and he couldn't stretch his talents......

Prince Katsuragi immediately said: "I will send this letter to Your Majesty later, and please decide everything." ”

This is certainly detrimental to family relations, but as long as it is beneficial to yourself, it will do......

The middle minister has a sickle foot and a jaw head; "That's exactly how it should be."

Looking at each other, the two laughed together.

The Tang Dynasty was aggressive, but handed them a good opportunity to blow the prestige of the emperor......

After laughing for a while, Zhongchen said with a sickle: "The Tang people are just external worries, although they are menacing, they can't hurt the muscles and bones under their feet after all, but Su My clan is an internal trouble, and the ordinary swords are like strict persecution, and I am afraid that there will be a danger to the lives of the feet." The foot has a bold temperament, the posture of the sky, has a great career, the current situation is precarious, and if you want to seek the road to heaven, you must first settle down inside. ”

The prince of Katsuragi looked gloomy and sighed: "It's easy to say, but how difficult is it to do?" Su I clan power leaning towards the government and the opposition, half of the officials in the court are from its subordinates, that is, there are many Austrian aid in the royal family, Su I into the deer is brave and good at fighting and strong force, the mountain city mansion of the Su I clan on the Gan Ji Hill raised 3,000 dead soldiers, and there are 2,000 monks and soldiers in the Flying Bird Temple, all of them are obedient to the father and son of Su I into the deer, and I am afraid that an order will be able to attack the Bangai Palace...... Fortunately, due to the restrictions of Article 17 of the Constitution, even if the Su family was ambitious, they did not dare to usurp the throne and stand on their own. forced Su I's father and son to jump over the wall in a hurry, but a catastrophe came. ”

Emperor Suigu died, the imperial heir was not established, and the father of Soga Ezo wanted to decide on the successor alone, but he was worried that some of the ministers would oppose him, so he invited the ministers in the Soga Clan's mansion, and at the banquet Soga Ezo said: "There is no owner in the country today, if you don't decide early, I am afraid that there will be changes." Who should he appoint? In fact, the ministers either supported the prince of Tamura, or the eldest brother of the mountain back (the son of Prince Shotoku), but after asking again and again, the ministers knew that Suga Ezo had already been selected, so they did not dare to answer.

It can be seen that Suga Ezo is a deterrent.

The eldest brother of Yamabei is the prince of Shotoku, according to his identity, his ascendion to the throne should be before the son of Emperor Suiko, the prince Tamura, but the eldest brother of Yamabei Chaxue Suga Ezo intends to be the prince of Tamura, and does not dare to compete for the throne anymore, and takes the initiative to withdraw, and there is no opposition in the court, and the ministers unanimously support the prince of Tamura, which is for Emperor Shumei.

As the uncle of Emperor Shu Ming, Su I Ezo still holds the position of Minister of the Interior, and regards Emperor Shu Ming as a puppet......

Later, Emperor Shu Ming died, and although Su I Ezo failed to establish the eldest brother of the ancients born to his sister as the emperor as he wished, he also suppressed the Chaozhong ministers and excluded all the sons of Emperor Shu Ming, and on the grounds of "disputes over the throne and turmoil in the court", he tried his best to support Emperor Shu Ming's empress Bao Huangnu as the new emperor, who was the emperor of the emperor.

After Emperor Gogoku ascended the throne, Soga Ezo, on the grounds that he was seriously ill, privately granted his son Soga the position of Minister of the Deer and the Purple Crown without the permission of the Imperial Court......

The Su I clan usurped the imperial power and dominated the world.

Even though the prince of Katsuragi had a fierce tiger in his heart, he had to be cautious, lest he provoke Suga, who was even more arrogant and arrogant than Suga, and cause death......

Zhongchen Kazuzu also had a sad face and sighed helplessly.

Even though he is resourceful, he also knows that in the face of absolute power, what is the value of a mere strategy?

The Su I clan has been in business for a hundred years, and its power is huge, and no one can compete with it.

After pondering for a long time, Zhongchen Kazuzu proposed: "At present, the Su I clan is powerful, and there is no one who is the enemy with it, and there is nothing to do in the future, why don't you accompany your foot to visit the teacher and ask if there is a way to break the thief, how about it?" ”

The prince of Katsuragi was immediately overjoyed: "That's right! After all, you and I are shallow, and the teacher can go through the ups and downs in the court of the Han people, and he must have extraordinary insight, maybe he can guide us through the maze and help us overcome this crisis and achieve great things! ”

The two of them immediately got up and left the palace, sat in a small sedan chair carried by a wooden stick, and went straight to the south of Asuka Kyo, the rice in the upper reaches of the Asuka River, and the place where Nanyuan asked for a lecture......
