Concierge, guest house.

The protocol department of the Uno Kingdom was equivalent to the Honglu Temple in the Tang Dynasty, and was headed by the new Minister of the Interior, Nakatoshi Kamazu. The personnel of the Kyushu Kingdom brought by Takahashi Kazuki and the personnel brought by the Tang Dynasty envoy Wang Xuan Ce were placed in two different courtyards.

After the reception banquet, Wang Xuance returned to the guest house, saw that there were no tables and chairs, and there was no bed, he felt very uncomfortable, he asked people to bring over a few quilts made in the Tang Dynasty, piled on the tatami mats, and read a book with his back to tea and a book, and he was holding a "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" line-bound book in his hand.

Wang Xuance is a person who likes to use his brains, and he is also a master of strategy, he likes the story of Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and others fighting wits in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he doesn't understand, how can the prince write such a book, it is really a five-body throw that he admires.

At this time, an attendant came over and said, "My lord, the eldest brother of the Japanese slave country, the prince and the minister of the interior, Kamazu, have gone to His Majesty King Takahashi. ”

Wang Xuance had already known that the Japanese Slave Congress had contacted Takahashi Kazuki before formal negotiations, and they would communicate with Takahashi Kazuki on some terms, and they should also come here to make a show after a while, which was all expected by him.

He smiled, didn't say anything, and continued to sip tea and read.

In Takahashi Kazuki's guest house, the eldest brother prince and Takahashi Kazuki reviewed the close friendship between them, and Takahashi Kazuki asked curiously, "How did you get rid of Su Izuka?" ”

The specific process, Takahashi Mikei said something in the telegram, but Takahashi Kazuki still wanted to hear the story of the eldest brother, the prince.

The eldest brother and the prince told the situation at that time, and when he said that Su I had run out of the door of the living room, Takahashi Kazuki couldn't help but get nervous, and he asked, "What happened later?" ”

The eldest brother said: "At that time, Soga Ishikawa Maro threw Soga into the deer with a dagger, although he didn't hit, but he reminded me that I saw that he was about to run out, so I threw the spear in my hand and stabbed him by luck. ”

Recalling the scene at that time, the eldest brother and prince couldn't help but be a little nervous.

Takahashi Kazuki sighed: "Su I am so powerful in the deer, if he is allowed to bring the sword in, you will all be in danger." ”

The eldest brother of the prince said: "This is also thanks to the middle minister Kamazu, who not only introduced Su Iru into the living room, but also dissuaded him from bringing a sword inside. ”

Zhongchen Kazuzu smiled a little embarrassedly: "I was the most useless, and I was directly knocked unconscious by Su I into the deer at that time." ”

Talking about the plan that everyone worked together to complete to get rid of Su I and enter the deer, everyone added a sense of closeness.

The eldest brother, the prince, said kindly: "In the future, you will come to Fujiwara-kyo, and if you like the residence of Soga Irishi, I will give it to you; If you don't like it, I'll rebuild a mansion for you. ”

Takahashi Kazuki was even happier when he saw that people had thought so well for him, so he expressed his gratitude to the empress and the eldest brother, the prince, and others.

Seeing that the atmosphere was harmonious, the eldest brother and prince began to talk about the purpose of his visit, and he said: "Minister, we have reached an agreement on some issues on the terms proposed by you and the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, can we discuss other terms?" ”

Kazuki Takahashi said in a very cordial manner: "Negotiations are here to discuss, and if you have any questions, just ask." ”

Takahashi Kazuki has a good impression of the eldest brother of the middle brother, the prince, and he and the empress got rid of Soga Irishi, restored the honor of the Monobe clan, and treated him very politely, which he was very satisfied with.

The eldest brother said: "Back then, Su I Mazi persecuted your Monobe clan, I can understand your hatred for Su I's clan, and I can understand your feelings when you proposed to liquidate Su I's clan."

However, over the years, the Soga clan has had an in-law relationship with the royal family and many nobles, such as Soga Ishikawa Maro, who helped you get rid of Soga and enter the deer, Her Majesty the Empress, all the princes, including myself, all have the blood of the Soga clan, and your ancestors also have an in-law relationship with the Soga clan, and this matter has to be investigated, Fujiwara Kyo is afraid that there will be no one. ”

Kazuki Takahashi really hates the Soga clan, but what they say makes sense, and his proposal is a little unreasonable. He couldn't help but nod slightly.

The eldest brother prince said: "You have experienced a lot of things over the years, and you have achieved a great career, you must be an open-minded person, let the past things pass, now that the first evil of the Su I clan has been eliminated, the rest of the people should not be held accountable." ”

Takahashi Kazuki said briskly: "Okay, you're right, let it pass in the past, I won't mention the first one." ”

"Well, the minister is really broad-minded and admirable." The eldest brother and the prince praised.

Next, they discussed other provisions.

In the courtyard next door, Wang Xuance was already impatient, he said: "Okay, I won't wait for them to come, if they want to ask, just say that I have been tired from the journey and have rested, so let's talk about something tomorrow afternoon." ”

Sure enough, after the eldest brother and the middle minister Kamazu came out of Takahashi Kazuki, they came to visit Wang Xuance, and when they heard that Wang Xuance was resting, they left.

On the way back, the middle minister Kamazu said: "Your Highness, this Takahashi Kazuki is still easy to talk to, I don't know how the Tang Dynasty envoy is." ”

The eldest brother said: "Let's talk about it tomorrow, I'm afraid many problems will have to be solved with the help of Takahashi Kazuki." ”

In the afternoon of the next day, the negotiations took place as scheduled.

The negotiators of the Wano Kingdom were the Nakadai Brother, the Imperial Prince, the Nakatomi Kamadashi, and the Soga Ishikawa Maro, and on the other side were the Kyushu Kunihashi Kazuki and the Tang Dynasty's Wang Xuance.

The Empress also came to pay a respect, said those things to seek common ground while reserving differences, and then left.

The negotiation began, and the eldest brother and prince spoke first, he said: "The content of the negotiation is all proposed by you, and we have also prepared several terms, let's discuss the terms proposed by you first." ”

Wang Xuance said: "You have terms, so say them first." ”

Zhongchen said politely: "There are no special terms, just to propose friendly relations with the Tang Dynasty, exchange of envoys, trade and other matters, and it is okay not to mention them in this negotiation." ”

The meaning of his words was to get along with the Tang Dynasty, which was an expression of goodwill.

Wang Xuance nodded and said, "Since this is the case, don't bring it up to avoid extraneous branches." ”

The eldest brother said: "Okay, since that's the case, I won't mention it for the time being." Next, let's discuss the content of the negotiation one by one. ”

Takahashi Kazuki first expressed his sincerity, he said: "Since the father and son of Su Izuru are dead, I will no longer pursue the others, and the first one will be canceled." ”

The eldest brother and prince said: "Okay, the minister has such a mind, which is admirable. That's a good start, so let's move on to the next clause. ”

The previous clauses are all matters between Takahashi Kazuki and the Japanese slave country, and it has nothing to do with Wang Xuance, he is not angry, and sits there secretly observing the eldest brother and the prince.

The navy sent by Li You had already arrived in the bay southwest of Fujiwara Kyoto before yesterday evening, and it was only more than 100 miles to the coast.

Wang Xuance has been to dozens of countries over the years, and has dealt with all kinds of politicians from all over the world, and he found that these Japanese slaves are indeed difficult to deal with, no wonder the prince is so concerned about the affairs of the Japanese slave country.

Wang Xuance cheered up and wanted to see how the eldest brother and the prince and others performed.
