He stopped not far in front of the gate of the Daigoku Hall, and an accompanying samurai knelt on the ground, and someone stepped on the back of the samurai, and with the support of another samurai, he got down.

The man was thirty-five or sixteen years old, of medium height, with a round face, small eyes, and an arrogant look between his eyebrows.

This person is the first powerful minister of the Japanese slave country, Su I, into the deer.

Since Soga Irishi's grandfather Soga Mako defeated Takahashi Kumiko's great-grandfather Monobe Moriya, the Soga family has been in control of the Japanese government from Soga Irishi's grandfather Soga Mako, father Soga Ezo to the current Soga Irishika.

The left and right ministers of the court, the generals, the commanders of the Praetorian Guards, the right ministers of the treasury and the imperial historians, are all cousins of Su Irishi, and most of the main positions in the court are under the control of Su Irishi's henchmen.

Last year, the original crown prince Yamabei eldest brother Wang (the son of Prince Shotoku) was killed by him because of his opposition to Soga Irika, and the crown prince was replaced by the eldest brother of the ancients, and the prince was also his cousin. The power of the emperor was greatly constrained.

"Chancellor."

"Chancellor."

Officials saluted Su I into the deer.

The minister is the official name of the Japanese slave state, which is equivalent to the prime minister, or even higher than the prime minister, equivalent to the consul, and is the highest official position of the Japanese slave state. (The official name of the Japanese slave state is too difficult to remember, and the official name equivalent to the Tang Dynasty is used later.) )

Officials saluted Su I into the deer.

At this time, a young prince with a magnificent instrument walked over, he was the famous middle brother prince in history, the half-brother of the crown prince and the eldest brother of the ancients, that is, the later Emperor Tenchi.

When the eldest brother saw Su I entering the deer, he didn't wait for him to speak first, and greeted him first: "Cousin." ”

Su Irulu raised his hand arrogantly, and said "um", which was considered to be a salute to him.

At this time, the court began to go up, and the officials dodged a way, letting Su I enter the deer to walk in front, and the eldest brother and prince also followed.

Looking at the back of Su I's deer, the smile on the face of the eldest brother disappeared, and a resentful look appeared in his eyes.

After the end of the early dynasty, the eldest brother and the prince walked out of the gate of Fujiwara Palace, and said to an entourage beside him: "Brother Takahashi, you have seen it, how arrogant Su I has become, where does he still have the appearance of a courtier?" ”

The servant nodded and said, "Got it, what do you think?" ”

The eldest brother looked left and right and said, "Let's go back and talk." ”

Katsuragi Palace.

The eldest brother was canonized as the king of Katsuragi, so he was also called the prince of Katsuragi.

The person who pretended to be a servant was called Takahashi Mikei, a cousin of Takahashi Kumiko, and this time he came to Fujiwara-kyo to be appointed by Takahashi Kazuki to conspire with the Empress Gokuten, to get rid of Soga Irishika. The eldest brother is the representative of Emperor Gogoku.

Emperor Huangji and the eldest brother of the Emperor have plotted many times to assassinate Su Irika, but there is no chance at all.

Su I am arrogant and domineering, but he is very shrewd and very careful in doing things, he knows that he has too many enemies, so he is always on guard against someone plotting against him.

Su I into the deer to raise a lot of private soldiers, known as the "Oriental servant", as long as you go out, there must be fifty soldiers around you to protect, the four warriors around him, are all Su I clan disciples, known as "ancestors and children", each martial arts are strong.

The Fujiwara Kyochu Forbidden Army is in the hands of Soga Irika's cousin, and it is impossible to get rid of him if he can't be fatal with one blow.

The eldest brother, the prince, conspired with Takahashi Mikei and took advantage of the battle between the two sides to create an opportunity to transfer Soga Irilu away from Fujiwara Kyo and intercept him outside.

The eldest brother took out a portrait, pointed to the person on it and said, "You are far away today, I am worried that you will not be able to see his face clearly, so I specially prepared a portrait for you." ”

Takahashi Yujing saw that the person on the portrait was the Su I Izun he saw today, he put away the portrait and said, "I'll go back and report to my uncle, let's contact at any time." ”

The eldest brother of the middle brother sent away Takahashi Yujing, and he went to the palace to meet the emperor. He said happily: "Your Majesty, the envoy of Takahashi Kazuki believed in our plan, and he left a way to contact us......

After listening to the report of the eldest brother, the emperor said, "Continue to strengthen the liaison with the people of Samhan (Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje) and save our Yamato country in this move." ”

Then, she looked at the window on the west side and said worriedly, "I don't know if Qianyu can get it, if that's the case, things will be easy." ”

The eldest brother and prince comforted her and said, "My cousin is smart and witty, and she will definitely be able to succeed." ”

The Emperor-level Emperor shook his head slightly and said, "I hope so." The king of the northwest of the Tang Dynasty is said to have outstanding intelligence and unpredictable abilities, and the destruction of the centuries-old foundation of Sanhan is all due to his handwriting.

This time, he is going to personally attack the Yamato Kingdom, which is probably the biggest crisis since the founding of the Yamato Kingdom. ”

The eldest brother said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, even if your cousin doesn't succeed, he won't be able to escape your plan to kill two birds with one stone." ”

……

Kyushu Island, Kumamoto Castle Imperial Palace.

Takahashi Kazuki looked at the portrait of Su I into the deer, and did not say anything for a long time.

The hatred between the Monobe clan and the Soga clan is as deep as the sea, and this emotion is buried in the hearts of every descendant of the Monobe clan. When Takahashi Kazuki's grandfather Monobe Mamoru was killed, Takahashi Kazuki was only 7 years old, and at that time, Soga Iriru had not yet been born, and Takahashi Kazuki had no impression of this person.

After the death of Monobe Moriya, Soga Mako did not give up the persecution of his people, except for Takahashi Kazuki's father who fled to Kyushu Island and survived incognito, the Monobe clan basically did not survive.

During his days in seclusion on Kyushu Island, Kazuki Takahashi could feel the threat from the Soga clan at any time, and he had experienced many hunts sent by the Soga clan to Kyushu Island, and he almost lost his life twice.

Therefore, his hatred for the Soga clan not only did not weaken with the passage of time, but became stronger.

Takahashi Kazuki put down the portrait in his hand and said, "Tell me about your trip to Fujiwara-kyo." ”

Takahashi Yujing said that he saw the arrogant and domineering appearance of Soga Irilu with his own eyes in Fujiwara-kyo, and then said: "The minister also heard a few things in Fujiwara-kyo......

In the past two years, there have been several major incidents of conflicts between the Soga clan and the royal family in the Japanese slave country, and the murder of the eldest brother of the mountain back is one of them.

The second incident was that in the early summer of last year, the Japanese slave country was experiencing a drought, and the ruling minister at the time, Soga Ezo, took the lead in begging for rain, but it did not rain. The Empress Emperor begged for rain at the request of the people, and it rained on the same day. Soga Ezo is very faceless and deeply jealous of the emperor.

The third thing is that Su I entered the deer to create a living for Su I Ezo, which caused dissatisfaction. Shengyuan is also known as Shouyu and Shou Tomb. It is necessary to choose a place with good feng shui, thinking that it can benefit future generations after death, and build it on auspicious days.

This matter is the custom of the nobles of the Japanese slave country, and according to the custom, it should be built by one's own people, and the specifications should also be set according to one's status, and there is nothing wrong with it.

However, the scale of Soga Ezo was the same as that of the imperial family's mausoleum, and the army was mobilized to participate in the construction, which caused strong dissatisfaction among the imperial family.

The fourth thing is that Soga Ezo secretly taught Soga Irishika the position of archon minister to Soga Irika, under the pretext that he was seriously ill, without the consent of the emperor.

After listening to Takahashi Yujing's report, Takahashi Kazuki nodded and said: "The contradiction between the Su I clan and the royal family has reached this point, and it seems that Her Majesty the Empress is really determined to eradicate the Su I clan." ”

Takahashi Yujing said: "What Your Majesty said is that a powerful minister like Su Irulu is impossible for any royal family to tolerate. ”

Kazuki Takahashi asked, "Does Her Majesty have any specific plans?" ”

Takahashi said, "The eldest brother said that he hopes to meet with you in person in the near future. ”

Takahashi Kazuki said, "You go and arrange it." ”

"Minister, obey the order." Takahashi Yujing saluted.

At this time, the secretary of the confidential room sent a telegram, and she said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Jiumeizi has sent a telegram, and tomorrow she will leave Chang'an with His Royal Highness the Northwest King of the Tang Dynasty." ”
