Chapter 595: Tokaido
()
For the artifact of the Wa Kingdom, I was still a little interested in Gao Ming before I saw it, but after seeing it, I had an idea of "it's just so".
However, it is normal for Gao Ming to have such thoughts, after all, as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, what good things have he never seen?
In contrast, this suspected antique of the Qin Dynasty in the Wa Kingdom really can't get into the eyes of Gao Ming.
And the most important thing is that the greatest value of the artifact of the Wa Kingdom is reflected in the fact that it is the royal inheritance token of the Wa Chrysanthemum Dynasty, and now the Wa Kingdom is about to become a part of the Tang Dynasty, which also represents the complete demise of the Chrysanthemum Dynasty, so why did Gao Ming keep this thing?
Therefore, Gao Ming chose to give the eight-foot Qiong Gou Jade to his nephew, and took the Kusanagi Sword and the Eight Mirrors to cast the knife.
For Gao Ming, compared to the useless Kusanagi Sword and the Eight Mirrors, a Tang knife made of meteoric iron was much more valuable, at least it was less prone to rust than ordinary iron swords.
The artifact of the Wa Kingdom was just a small episode, and Gao Ming quickly forgot about it.
After lunch, he dealt with the excerpts with the eldest grandson Wuji and others as usual, and after the excerpts were processed, Fang Xuanling and the others left one after another, and in the end only the eldest grandson Wuji was left alone.
Seeing this scene, Gao Ming immediately laughed.
"Uncle is reserved for the end today, but is there anything you want to say to me?"
Hearing Gao Ming's words, the eldest grandson Wuji immediately bowed to Gao Ming, and said with a smile: "The old minister is here to thank His Highness for the gift!" ”
"Hahahaha!"
As soon as the eldest grandson Wuji's words fell, Gao Ming immediately laughed.
"A broken jade pendant is just a thing for children, how can you use your uncle to thank you, just let the second egg play casually, and I'll give him another one if it's broken!"
"I'm afraid this won't work!" Looking at Gao Ming, who laughed loudly, the eldest grandson Wuji shook his head with a smile, "The eight-foot Qiong Hook Jade of the Wa Kingdom is just such a piece, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to find the second piece, I'm afraid he won't be able to find it." ”
"Uh......" Hearing the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, Gao Ming's laughter suddenly stopped, and he looked at him with some surprise, "You know this thing?" ”
"Hahahaha, of course!"
Looking at Gao Ming's surprised appearance, the eldest grandson Wuji immediately burst out laughing, and nodded while laughing.
"The treasure of inheritance personally presented by the monarch of the Wa Kingdom, the old minister naturally knows about it, so the old minister came to thank Your Highness, by the way, I want to ask Your Highness, what do you do with the Wa Kingdom?"
Speaking of this, Eldest Sun Wuji immediately put away his smile, and a serious look appeared on his face, obviously, the last question was the reason why he stayed.
Looking at his serious appearance, Gao Ming laughed again.
"Haha, how can there be no reason not to give away things for nothing, since their monarchs have dedicated the Wa Kingdom to our Datang, then there will naturally be no Wa Kingdom in the future, I plan to name it Tokaido, and send someone to quell the chaos, so that it can be integrated into my Datang as soon as possible."
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Eldest Sun Wuji couldn't help but nodded.
"It really should be so, so the old minister suggested that it would be better to let General Ashinadur be responsible for pacifying the Wa Kingdom...... No, it should be said that it is to pacify the bandits of Tokaido, and temporarily take the position of governor of Tokaido, how to deal with it, and wait until the return of the saint to make another decision, what does Your Highness think? ”
When talking about "bandits", the eldest grandson Wuji also accentuated it, and when he heard this, Gao Ming immediately understood that he was also one of the people in the know, so he immediately smiled and nodded.
"What Uncle said is very true, then tomorrow morning, there will be Uncle Lao!"
"The old minister obeys!"
After speaking, the eldest grandson Wuji bowed to Gao Ming again, and then turned to leave, looking at the back of the eldest grandson Wuji leaving, Gao Ming smiled slightly.
"Tokaido, this name is pretty good, it's much better than Wakoku, haha!"
In Gao Ming's view, the pacification of the Wa Kingdom could not be simpler.
Because as early as two months ago, all the military forces of the Wa Kingdom had been completely destroyed by the pirates posed by Hou Junji, and since then, the Wa Kingdom has been controlled by the bandits pretended to be Ashinadur to control the main towns and mineral resources.
Now that there is no resistance in the Wa Kingdom, as for the people who rebelled, when Ashinadur's army took off the shell of the bandits and appeared as the Tang Army, they would definitely obediently surrender.
As for people's livelihood, Gao Ming is even less worried, because Emperor Xiaode is a hardcore "Tang fan".
He initiated the famous "Dahua Reform" in the history of the Wa Kingdom, no matter what he learned from the Tang Dynasty, not only the weights and measures were the same as those of the Tang Dynasty, but even the coins circulating in the market were used by the Kaiyuan Tongbao used by the Tang Dynasty.
Under such a social background, it can be said that it is easy for the Tang Dynasty to include the Wa Kingdom in the map, not only will there be no obstacles, but I am afraid that the people of the Wa State will have to welcome it at that time!
During this period, Datang can be called the father of the Wa Kingdom!
And the fact is just as Gao Ming expected, with his order, in less than a month, the entire Wa Kingdom was under the control of Ashinadur.
After Ashinadur pacified all the Wa Kingdoms, he changed the Imperial Palace of the Wa Kingdom into the Tokaido Governor's Office.
In this way, the Wa Kingdom disappeared, and the map of the Tang Dynasty added a place called "Tokaido".
And Emperor Xiaode, as the king of the dead country, was not depressed, on the contrary, he was quite happy in the Tang Dynasty.
At that time, when he escaped from the Wa Kingdom, he brought with him a large box of pearls, which were rare in this period, and with these pearls, Emperor Xiaode became one of the few wealthy people in Chang'an City!
In order to let Emperor Xiaode have money to find a place to spend, Gao Ming generously gave him a pass token for the Tang Imperial Club.
As a result, Emperor Xiaode immediately surpassed most of Chang'an's nobles and became one of the top consumers of the Tang Imperial Club, and his highest record was to lose 60,000 yuan on the mahjong table of the Royal Club in one day!
Because of this, he was given a nickname by the nobles of Chang'an - the big fat sheep of the East China Sea.
At the same time, Emperor Kotoku is also a die-hard rugby fan, and the money spent on rugby fields every day is calculated in thousands.
According to Gao Ming's latest news, he seems to have formed his own rugby team, because he is generous, and there are many idle people in Chang'an City who go to play for him.
Emperor Hyodeok's son, Prince Arima, now went to Jinju to study at the Tang Imperial Academy, and it is said that his dream was to become a tax collector in Chang'an City.
In general, Emperor Kotoku and his son still made Gao Ming more worry-free, and the only one who made him a little helpless was Emperor Kotoku's daughter, Fuma.
This girl didn't know which tendon was wrong, and she was clamoring to be her own woman, after Gao Ming rejected her once, she didn't give up, but went to participate in the second Datang beauty pageant held by Wu Mei, it seems that she is going to prepare to win the first place and then ask Gao Ming.
Faced with such a situation, Gao Ming was also very troubled.
"If she does win first place, will I accept it or not?"
