In the past, being able to serve as the commander of Dazaifu undoubtedly won the trust of the Emperor of the Wa Kingdom. But Sugawara Michizane served as the commander of Dazai as the right minister, not a reuse, but a derogation.

Today's Dazaifu is actually in decline, mainly because of pirates.

Dazaifu is not far from Tsushima, across the sea, further north is Silla, and west is only a few hundred miles from Tamna.

In the past few years, the pirates of Silla have visited here many times, although Dazaifu has a relatively strong city, but the frequent visits of pirates have also caused Dazaifu's economy to plummet, and it is no longer the prosperity it used to be, but the newly established Tamna Governor's Mansion by the Tang people is very prosperous.

Due to the civil strife in Silla in recent years, the civil war continued, and naturally many landlords or merchants looked for a way out, and Tamna, where the Tang army was stationed, became the first choice.

If you have the ability, you can also go to Dengzhou, Haizhou and Mingzhou in the Tang Dynasty to settle down.

It seems that Dazaifu's position is not low, but for Sugawara Michizane, if he wants to go back after leaving Heiankyo, it will be difficult, and Fujiwara Tokihei will definitely not let him go back.

So after learning the news, Emperor Uta even came running from Ninnaji Temple to persuade his son, Emperor Daigo, to change his decision.

Fujiwara Tokihei naturally guarded against Emperor Uta, who was nominally relegated to the second line, but could still influence the court, so he left someone in front of the palace to block Emperor Uta and prevent him from meeting with Emperor Daigo.

There is no doubt that after learning that he was demoted to Dazaifu, Sugawara Michizane was a little disheartened.

was enthusiastic and had no way to serve the country, but was framed and belittled by Dazaifu, and even several of his sons were degraded one after another.

Fujiwara Tokihei clearly wanted to take the opportunity to uproot all his foundations in the court.

"Sugawara, I'm sorry. You know, my brother's decision, I can't change it! "At the pier in Settsu Province, a young Washington man is seeing off Sugawara Michizane.

This person's name is Fujiwara Tadahei, and you don't need to think about it to know that he is a member of the Fujiwara clan.

Fujiwara Tadahei is Fujiwara Tokihei's younger brother, but the age difference between the two is not small, and Fujiwara Tadahei is only 20 years old this year.

Don't look at the relationship between Fujiwara Tokihei and Sugawara Michizane, but Fujiwara Tadahei has a good relationship with Sugawara Michizane, which is also because Sugawara Michizane is very knowledgeable, which makes Fujiwara Tadahei very admired.

"It has nothing to do with you." Sugawara Michizane shook his head, and did not blame Fujiwara Tadahei for being demoted, "It's just that this official is leaving, and I don't know what the situation will be in the imperial court." If you have a chance, persuade your brother well, now that Han Kou and Ezo are in trouble with the Japanese country, the Tang people may play a very important role, be careful to watch out for the Tang people. ”

"Are the Tang people really strong? Have you ever been to Chang'an? Fujiwara Tadahi said curiously.

"It's very powerful, this officer has seen the army of the Tang people." Sugawara Michizane remembered those pictures he saw with his own eyes, and he was still a little shocked, "But this official has not been to Chang'an, but to Luoyang, the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty." But the prosperity of Luoyang is not comparable to the Wa Kingdom, and it is not known how many times more prosperous than the Settsu Kingdom and Heianjing.

If you can, in the next year or two, when the war is over, I suggest that your brother send an envoy to Datang again. Our understanding of Datang is a little out of touch, and we need to re-understand Datang. ”

"Your Excellency, rest assured, I will definitely persuade you vigorously. Hearing your description of Datang, I have a strong interest in Datang, and if there is an envoy to Tang next time, I will definitely go to Datang with the mission. Tadahei Fujiwara yearned.

Although Fujiwara Tadahei is not highly accomplished in literature, he likes the culture of the Tang people very much, especially those poems and classics.

There are more than a dozen books brought back from the Tang Dynasty in Fujiwara Tadahei's study, including the poetry collection of the Tang Emperor.

"You don't have to send it away!"

In the end, Sugawara Michizane left Heiankyo with reluctance and headed for the distant Saikaido, not knowing what else was waiting for him there.

。。。。。。

Luoyang, Ziwei Palace.

"Father, Silla is a subject country of my Tang Dynasty, why does my father still send troops to Silla? If this spreads, wouldn't it have a great impact on Datang's face! ”

Since Li You has already begun to learn how to handle government affairs, he is still in the process of understanding the affairs of the DPRK and China, and of course it is still in the learning stage.

The prince was surprised. Although Silla is a subject state of our Tang Dynasty, many years ago, when our Tang Dynasty was facing Tibet, it attacked our Tang Andong Metropolitan Protectorate and Xiongjin Metropolitan Governor's Mansion from behind.

If such a subject country is too benevolent, sooner or later it will raise tigers. ”

As soon as Li You's words were finished, Li Zhen, the king of Di, rose up to refute. Although the two did not deal with each other, Li Zhen did not oppose it because of opposition this time, but presented facts to support his views.

If Li Zhen thought of it himself, Li Ye was a little unconvinced, and he was sure that Wang Fu and Changshi and others in his mansion had pointed out.

"What do you think should be done with Silla?" Seeing Li Zhen, who has grown a little, Li Ye naturally will not be stingy with praise.

After receiving the praise of his father, Li Zhen was a little proud, and his words were full of pride, "Father, the sons and daughters think that they should take advantage of the civil strife in Silla to send troops to Silla and re-incorporate Silla into the territory of my Tang Dynasty." ”

"Sending troops to Silla? Where do you think you should send troops to Silla? The Silla royal family? The current founding of the country as the king of the queen Baekje? Or did they control the Bow descendants of many states and counties in northern Silla? Li Ye began to test the other party.

"This..." Li Zhen was stunned for a while, he didn't expect so much, and he still didn't know a little about these three forces, but when his father asked, he could only answer stubbornly, "Back to my father, my son thought that he should send troops to the Gong descendants in the north, because there was the greatest threat to the Pyongyang Governor's Office." ”

"Sending troops to the Bow Descendants? It's also said in the past. Li Ye nodded, but he didn't mean to agree.

It was only a matter of time before the Bow Descendants were sent to the Army, and the Bow Descendants were the strongest of the three forces of Silla at present, and it was a more commonly used means to help the weak and suppress the strong.

But that's not now.

"You'er, you're the prince, didn't you have a tirade when you first came? Why are you keeping silent now? Li Ye said.

Feeling his father's gaze, Li You hesitated for a while and replied, "Father, the retainers are not familiar with the various forces of Silla, so they don't dare to jump to conclusions. ”

"I guess both of you brothers are not familiar with Silla, right? Here are a few excerpts, all of which are about the introduction of the various forces of Silla, and you can copy a copy of it yourself later, take it back and study it carefully, and after three days, each of you will hand over an excerpt about Silla.

Remember, how to write the excerpt can be discussed with the staff in the house, but you also need to have your own opinions, not what the people below say is what it is.

As a qualified king, you must not only kill decisively, but also be assertive, and don't follow the crowd.

Even if it's wrong, how do you know if it's wrong or right without trying?

By the way, let's take a look at the history of Silla, and the emperor will test you later. Li Ye commanded.

"Sons obey orders!"

After Li You and the others left, Li Ye opened a letter of excerpts, which was an excerpt about Hou Baekje wanting to ask for the canonization of the Tang Dynasty, and Zhen Xuan, the king of Hou Baekje, was also willing to serve the Tang Dynasty as the suzerainty and send people to pay tribute every year.

Later Baekje, Silla, and Later Goguryeo, which had not yet been formally founded, didn't this reappear in the early Tang Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms era on the peninsula?

It's just that this position has changed.

Later Baekje is undoubtedly the most honest of the Three Kingdoms at present, and his attitude towards the Tang Dynasty is also very respectful, which is like Silla more than two hundred years ago; Today's Silla is nominally orthodox, but its strength is probably the weakest of the three forces, and even Later Baekje may not be as good as it, but it is like the original Baekje.

As for the Gong descendants in the north, according to history, the other side will soon establish Goguryeo after the founding of Goguryeo in the name of reviving Goguryeo.

There is no doubt that the Bow Descendants are the strongest of the three forces, and they must be eliminated.

As for Later Baekje and Silla, who will the Tang Dynasty support, but it is a key point, or will it support one side, or will it not support it?

Looking at this difficult question, Li Ye also had a headache.
