The eldest brother of the prince said: "Li You is not in the Tang Dynasty mission, even if the other people are killed, it is useless, but it provides Li You with an excuse to attack the Yamato Kingdom to persuade the Tang Dynasty court, it seems that our previous plan had to be abandoned."

Erchen suggested that otherwise, according to the most basic assumptions before, an agreement was signed with the Tang Dynasty to avoid war and leave time for the Yamato Kingdom to rectify its interior and recuperate. ”

The minister Kamazu said, "The minister agrees with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's opinion. ”

The Empress's opinion was largely in line with theirs. "In that case," she said, "let's make an agreement with them." The people of the Tang Dynasty didn't let Qianyu say anything about the fake Li You, so we simply didn't say anything, and we just planned it, and let the Tang Dynasty people withdraw first. ”

The eldest brother, the prince and the minister, said together: "Your Majesty is wise. ”

The empress said: "You can arrange this matter, if Li You does not dare to come to Fujiwara Palace, I will deign to go to the Tang Dynasty mission, sign an agreement with them, and then send them away."

However, Monobe Kazuki must try to stay in Fujiwara-kyo and not let him leave with him, in case the Tang Dynasty people cheat him, so that he can be taken hostage. ”

The minister said: "Your Majesty is wise, leave this matter to the minister." ”

The eldest brother prince asked: "What about Qianyu's marriage, is it really for her to marry the prince of the Great Food Country?" ”

The Empress said, "Isn't that one of the terms of the agreement, and since the agreement has been signed, let it be done." ”

The minister said: "Your Majesty is right, this matter will also be handed over to the minister." "He is a good courtier, and he will take the initiative to deal with any matter that the empress and the eldest brother and prince are embarrassed by.

Nakatomi Kamazu was one of the rare and capable ministers of the Asuka period, a rare talent, and it was under his leadership that Japan began one of the most important reforms in history, the Taika Reform.

The first family of the Fujiwara family, Japan's largest family, is Nakatomi Kamazu, who was given the surname Fujiwara by the Japanese imperial family because of his contribution to the establishment of the elimination of Soga Irilu and the Taika reform, and since then, the Fujiwara family has occupied an important position in Japanese history.

Qianyu's marriage, the empress has agreed to marry Jushi Dedo's eldest son, Jushi Heimaro, and now that the situation is forced to go back on her word again, the empress is probably embarrassed to talk to Jushi Deduo, and the minister Kamazu will naturally share the queen's worries.

And so it was settled.

Guest house.

Soon, the eldest brother of the middle brother, the prince, personally came to visit Monobe Kazuki with Nakazu Kamazu and discussed with him the signing of an agreement with Li You.

At this time, the eldest brother and the others already knew that Monobe Kazuki had hidden the fake Li You from them, and they mentioned the matter about Li You many times in the conversation, wanting to see Monobe Kazuki's reaction, and then confirm the truth of what Qianyu said.

Monobe Kazuki looked a little embarrassed, reluctant to talk about Li You, as if he wanted to hide something, when talking about the signing of the agreement, he immediately agreed, it seems that he is in a hurry to end this matter, and let the fake Li You and the others leave Fujiwara Kyo as soon as possible.

The eldest brother, the prince and the middle minister, Kamazu, thought that his reaction was normal, and instead believed Chiha's words.

The eldest brother, the prince and Monobe Kazuki, agreed that at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, Her Majesty the Empress would personally come to the guest house and sign an agreement with Li You. In the afternoon, a wedding banquet was held for Pei Dilan and Qianyu, and the day after tomorrow, the Tang Dynasty delegation left Fujiwara-kyo.

Monobe Kazuki said: "I will inform His Royal Highness the Northwest King of the Tang Dynasty of this decision in a while. ”

Nakazu Kamazu took out a document and said to Kazuki Monobe: "Your Excellency, please take a look at this material." After the agreement signed between the two countries, His Majesty decided to quickly clean up the mess left by the Soviet Union, this is a plan for the reform of the national system, please take a look at it as soon as possible. After the Tang Dynasty mission leaves the day after tomorrow, we will discuss this plan immediately. ”

As soon as Monobe Kazuki heard it, he understood that this was to keep himself in Fujiwara-kyo. He said tentatively: "I can take a look at the materials, but I have been away from Kyushu Island for so long, and there are some things to deal with there, I plan to leave with the Tang Dynasty mission, and then move my family over." ”

The eldest brother said: "Minister of Things, your idea is not wrong, however, you also know that Su I have been in charge of the government for so many years, leaving too many hidden dangers to the imperial court, knowing these hidden dangers is the top priority, the top priority, and it really can't be delayed for a day." As a minister of the imperial court, you have to take the lead in this matter. He also asked the Minister of Goods and Materials to take state affairs seriously. ”

Nakatomi Kamazu said, "Yes, Your Excellency, the construction of your mansion in Fujiwara-kyo has not yet begun, and it is not easy for your family to settle down for a while. Besides, I would like to ask you for guidance on how to build your mansion, so please stay in Fujiwarakyo for the time being. ”

The two sang and harmonized, in short, asking Monobe Kazuki to stay in Fujiwara-kyo.

Monobe Kazuki now understands that this is because the empress and others do not trust him, and he wants to keep himself in Fujiwara Kyo to prevent the Tang Dynasty from having any other intentions, so that he can be taken hostage.

Kazuki Monobe was originally full of expectations for his future life in Fujiwara-kyo, but at this moment he felt sad and extremely disappointed in his heart.

However, Monobe Kazuki had already been mentally prepared for this, and he said, "Since that's the case, then I'll stay for the time being." ”

Nakazu Kamazu said: "Before your mansion is built, it is really a bit wronged to let you live in the guest house. Your Majesty would like you to stay in the Ikaruga Palace temporarily, and I think you will be willing, Your Excellency. ”

Ikaruga Palace was the residence of Prince Shotoku, and Prince Shotoku also participated in the siege of Monobe Kazuki's grandfather, Monobe Moriya, and it was Prince Shotoku's housekeeper who shot Monobe Moriya. Letting Kazuki Monobe live in the Ikaruga Palace has a sense of revenge, which should be in line with his mood.

Kazuki Monobe said: "Okay, thanks to Her Majesty's thoughtfulness, I will move into the Ikadogu Palace the day after tomorrow." ”

After the eldest brother and the middle minister Kamazu left, Monobe Kazuki sent someone to call Monobe Kumiko and Wang Xuance.

After Kazuki Monobe finished introducing the situation, Kumiko Monobe was anxious all of a sudden, and she said eagerly: "Father, they are going to take you hostage." ”

Monobe Kazuki was not worried, he still thought that the empress and the others had no intention of harming him, he said: "It's nothing, originally I was going to stay here." ”

Monobe Kumiko said, "Oh, father, why are you so stubborn? Didn't Qianyu already say that the empress was going to harm you, why don't you believe it? ”
