Chapter 11 (106) The Eastern Wa Kingdom (9)

The first three didn't take Gu Shi's words. He lowered his head and stared at the teacup in his hand with a melancholy expression, not knowing what he was worried about. He didn't move in his seat when he moved.

Everyone couldn't help but focus their eyes on the Gao De of the Eastern Wa Kingdom, the half-brother and secret envoy of the Wa King.

Perhaps sensing that the hall suddenly became quiet, the first three mouthfuls trembled, and as soon as their hands shook and tilted, a few pieces of warm tea soup were immediately splashed on the back of his hand...... He stared at everyone, looking at everyone in confusion, as if he didn't realize where he was for a while, opened his mouth a few times and spit out a few meaningless syllables, swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva hard, and said in disguise: "...... This, this...... I actually, actually snoozed past. ”

Except for Jiang Wei, who didn't know why, everyone else could understand his feelings. Although Shang Cheng did not say it explicitly, and the Great Zhao Imperial Court did not make any promises to the first three people, everyone knew very well in each other's hearts that this time the Great Zhao Xingshi mobilized the people to cross the sea by boat, and it was impossible to exterminate one Fujiwara clan alone, and the worst result was to let the first three take over the position of the Fujiwara clan; It would be great if there was a chance to help the first three go further. After all, the first three are still individuals, and now they have the opportunity to rise from a monk to a layman, and maybe they can be called the king, and he is so excited that he can't eat well during the day and sleep well at night, which is also human nature.

Gu Shi said half-jokingly and half-soberly: "Great monk, Futu is difficult to prove, Bodhisattva is difficult to cultivate, the road to the Buddha is very long, and guarding oneself and acting prudently is the most important." ”

The first three took a long breath, calmed down, stood up and recited the Buddha's name, and said, "Thank you for Guhou's advice." He also said, "As long as you can exterminate the Fujiwara clan, save me and other people from the Heavenly Empire, and restore the overseas domain to a peaceful world, then you will give up this vulgar appearance, so what?" ”

Of course, Gu Shi knew that the first three were taking the opportunity to show their loyalty to Da Zhao, but the first three said it impassionedly, and they looked like they were sacrificing their lives for righteousness, but the expression on their faces was desolate and sad, and they felt awkward no matter how they looked at it. Although he was one of the co-signatories of the Eastern Widow strategy, he came to the room to sit with Jiang Xuan, and secondly, the matter of sending troops was the military department and Zhenqian in full power, and he could not point fingers without a position in it, let alone talk about it casually, so he smiled slightly and lowered his head to drink water.

The Chinese New Year on the side didn't have as many worries as him. His ancestral home is Xiangzhou, his resume is mediocre, his family has 100 acres of dry land, he is considered a family, not rich and noble, and he does not worry about food and clothing, after winning the Jinshi, he first stayed in the Hanlin Academy for two years, then in the vassal courtyard, and then the Ministry of Rites, more than ten years down to the seventh grade step by step, if nothing else, in a few years will be released a state and county official, and then with the ability to boil the qualifications, to the old age to rest about a positive six products. He knows that he is just a hostage of a middle-aged person, and he has no family background to rely on, and the official is the best to achieve the six grades, and if he wants to take a step forward, then he must be the way of fortune; Thinking about this layer, he didn't have too much hope for his career. He felt that the official body of the sixth grade could also leave a good blessing for his children and grandchildren. However, it was time for him to do so, and it was in this hall that he had drawn up two notes that had become an overnight success. In the past three days, he has been running back and forth between the Prime Minister's Office and the Sixth Ministry, either answering the Prime Minister's inquiries or talking with the waiter, his heart has already been hot, and he is holding back his strength and thinking about showing his strength, so where does he care about Jiang Yan, an "outsider"? What's more, he had already heard Jiang Tuan say just now, and he came to pay homage to Shang Cheng before he went anywhere in the capital, and saw that Shang Cheng was also extremely important to Jiang Tuan, showing that the relationship between the two people was by no means as simple as a boss and a subordinate, and Jiang Tuan was naturally not an "outsider"! He arched his hand to Gu Shi from his seat and explained for the first three mouths: "Gu Hou forgive me." Something happened to the military department, and the great monk couldn't sit comfortably, so he was in a trance for a while. ”

"What's going on over there?" Gu Shi asked.

The reason why He Nian wanted to speak for the first three was to arouse Gu Shi's words, so he said: "Actually, it's not a matter of the military department. The strategy made by Lord Zhen and Lord Zhai of the Ministry of Industry is to take care of all matters before and after, and it is necessary to allocate money and grain equivalent to 3.87 million yuan ......"

Gu Shi suddenly took a breath of cool air. It's just a thousand men and horses, how can you calculate such a big expense? Then I understood. Yes, the strategy of the Eastern Wa is not just to exterminate a Fujiwara clan, the real purpose is actually to support the first three to become the Wa king; Even if this can't be done, those two mountains of gold and silver must be tightly grasped, so Zhenxiang and Zhai Cuo must have planned the garrisons in Kagoshima and Iwami, as well as the expenses for the mines, as well as the sea ships transporting gold and silver back and forth, all of which were planned, so in the end, such a large amount of military funds were made. It's just that this number is too big, I don't know what the first three will think?

He quietly glanced at the three mouthfuls in front of him. The first three are completely indifferent, thinking that they are either completely ignorant of military affairs, or completely relieved of Zhenxiang, of course, it is more likely that he is bent on becoming the king of the Japanese, and he ignores the life and death of others......

He Sui continued: "Gu Hou, the great monk has promised that after the rebellion of the Fujiwara clan is swept away and the situation in the Eastern Wa Kingdom is settled," Speaking of this, he paused and stared at Gu Shi deeply, realizing that this "great stability of the situation" does not refer to the re-stabilization of the domestic situation in the Eastern Wa Kingdom, but refers to the great determination of the situation in which the first three became the kings of the Wa. "He will present the entire Iwami country as a consecrated soil to the imperial court. In addition, the Eastern Wa Kingdom will open seven cities, including Hakata, Tsuruga, and Mitsuura, and invite merchants and people from Dazhao to buy and sell, and officials from various countries are not allowed to obstruct them at will; All goods owned by merchants and citizens of Dazhao shall be reduced by half of the taxes on customs, centi, housing and passing; The merchants and people of the Great Zhao have the right to freely prospect and exploit mines in the Eastern Wa State, and officials of various countries are not allowed to obstruct them at will; In Heianjing, the provincial ministry of goodwill was added, the first official was the secretary of the ministry under the four ranks, and each country set up a special office Yamen goodwill Shangguo palace department, and the first official was served by the ministers of various countries, specifically to deal with various disputes between the merchants of Dazhao and the people of Dongwa; ......" He had a good memory, and crackled more than a dozen or twenty terms that the first three couldn't wait to agree to, and at the end, there was, "Considering that the Fujiwara clan has been rampant in the eastern Japanese for hundreds of years, and the situation in the eastern Japanese regions is not optimistic, the great monk begged the imperial court to send a minister stationed in the eastern Japanese and left a garrison in Heiankyo to deter Xiaoxiao. ”

Tani frowned and asked in a deep voice, "What about Kagoshima?" Why don't you mention Kagoshima? This is the key to the advance and retreat of the Southern Route Army, and it is also the key to the success of the surprise attack. "There's a big mountain of gold on that island!

He Nian straightened his face and said: "The great monk has repeatedly affirmed that the southeastern area of Kyushu Island in the Eastern Wa Kingdom is not within the jurisdiction and governance of the Eastern Wa region, so that place can only rely on ourselves. "The implication is that of course whoever fights down is whoever kills it, Da Zhao drove away the ghost people there, and that is the land of Da Zhao, and Dong Wei can't control it and doesn't dare to take care of it.

Gu Shi was very satisfied, but his face did not show the slightest hint, and he asked again: "Then what is the situation now?" ”
