Chapter 663: Baekje Civil Strife (2)

As she thought about it, the queen of Baekje wept over her tragic life and waiting for a man she didn't like. Even if the queen of Baekje covered herself again, the movement of the queen of Baekje still alarmed the king of Baekje beside her. When the King of Baekje opened his eyes, he saw that Queen Baekje's eyes were a little red and there were a few traces of tears on her face.

"Hmmm! What happened to you? ”

"Oh! You are awake, my lord. ”

"Aifei, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying? Queen Baekje wiped away her tears.

"Oh! O king, I beg your pardon, I have made a noise until the king has rested. The king of Baekje didn't mind anything, but asked the queen of Baekje with concern:

"Aifei, what are you crying about, what is the reason for this!?"

"King, King!" Queen Baekje threw herself into King Baekje's arms and began to weep loudly. The king of Baekje hugged his queen, gently stroked the queen's back, and whispered comfortingly:

"Aifei, don't cry, tell me if you have anything, I'll make the decision for you." Queen Baekje wept for a while and wiped away her tears.

"King! You should know that it has been more than ten years since I married in Baekje from the Wa Kingdom, and I lost my mother when I was a child, and it was my grandmother who took care of me when I was very young. I was raised by my grandmother, so to speak. King Baekje nodded.

"However, in the year I got married to Baekje, my grandmother passed away because of illness and because she missed me. And in a few days, it will be my grandmother's death, and I can't go back to the country in person and put incense in front of my grandmother's spirit, so the concubine thought in her heart, it was really very sad, and therefore, therefore, ...... Woo! Woo! Woo! Seeing his beloved concubine, she cried again. The king of Baekje hurried to comfort.

"Hey! Don't cry anymore! It's all my fault! It's because in the past few years, there was civil strife in the Wa Kingdom, and in addition, we in Baekje were also too busy to take care of ourselves, and now the civil strife in the Wa Kingdom has been completely calmed down, so let's do it! It just so happened that the situation in our Baekje was not very good recently, and the court was also quarreling with Li Tang and the Wa Kingdom, so I lent my grandmother to congratulate me on the matter of her birthday, and immediately sent someone to the Wa Kingdom to congratulate her! ”

"You're so nice, King!" Queen Baekje fell into the arms of King Baekje, and King Baekje seemed to be provoked* and was about to kiss Queen Baekje's red lips, but Queen Baekje suddenly stopped King Baekje:

"Hmmm! Aifei, what are you doing here? ”

"The king, the concubine thought of something!" The fire that King Baekje had stirred up suddenly went out as if a basin of cold water had been poured on it.

"What the hell is going on?"

"My lord, because this is my grandmother's birthday, if you send ordinary people there, I'm afraid it will be against filial piety! You say yes, right?! King Baekje let go of his hand, and suddenly quieted down, and thought for a while:

"Aifei, what you said also has some truth! So who do you think is appropriate? ”

"King, this is Baekje's internal affairs, and the concubines can't just talk about it!"

"Ai Concubine, this is what this king asked you to say, you can say it! This king forgives you for your innocence! ”

"The king, the concubine thinks that it is better to send people from the Baekje royal family to ......" Queen Baekje said as she looked at the face of the Baekje king. Seeing that the Baekje King's expression did not change, he continued:

"Great King, although our Baekje is located in a remote area, the Confucian culture of the Central Plains is still deeply rooted in the hearts of our Baekje people, and if we send an irrelevant person to it, I am afraid that we will give others the truth that we are not filial to Baekje."

"Hmm! Aifei, what you say is extremely true! Well, I know how to do it! Now, though, I have one more important thing to do! After listening to Queen Baekje's words, King Baekje hugged Queen Baekje as if he had taken medicine, and the sound of a man galloping on ** came from the room.

The next day, the king of Baekje ordered his ministers to follow the envoys of Baekje to Chang'an, meet with Yi Jiancheng, and discuss how to mediate the conflicts between Baekje, Silla, and Goguryeo. It's just that what the king of Baekje didn't notice was that his queen and younger brother secretly showed a crooked smile on the corner of their mouth after hearing the news.

In Kyoto, the newly enthroned Emperor Tenchi stood in front of the palace hall, the entire palace hall was built with resplendence, full of joy and praise, but it was also full of intrigue and blood, thinking back to what had happened over the years, the newly enthroned Emperor Tenchi sighed, more than ten years ago, he was still a small prince, and his father, Emperor Shu Ming died, facing the body of his father Emperor Shu Ming, and his father before he died of illness, secretly revealed his dissatisfaction with the relatives of the Su family.

"Big brother, you are the most outstanding of my princes, so I have an important and private thing for you to do!"

"Father! Please speak! ”

"The Soga clan is a powerful clan in Japan that has produced ministers from the Kofun period to the Asuka period. It is also the largest matriarchal clan in our imperial family, among which Soga Inamo, Soga Mako, and Soga Irishi all controlled the political situation in Japan and the abolition of the emperor for a long time. From the time Soga Mako successfully married his three daughters to his nephew Emperor Chongjun, his nephew Prince Shotoku, and his nephew Emperor Shumei as concubines, the Soga clan began to depose the emperor. After the death of Emperor Suiko, no heir was appointed. The retainers were divided into two factions, supporting the Tamura prince and the Yamabei elder brother. There was a struggle for succession to the throne in the imperial court. Among them, Soga Ezo's uncle Morisi intends to support the eldest brother of the mountain. Later, with the support of Soga Ezo, he killed his uncle, Soga Mari, and I was able to become the emperor, but Soga Ezo did not stop there, and sent his son Soga Irilu to attack the eldest brother of Yamanbashi, forcing the male members of the royal family (Prince Shotoku's family) to commit mass suicide. It made our imperial family lose face, and they built a large number of buildings, levitated labor, built private houses, repaired mausoleums, and went in and out of the market, and the pomp was no less than that of the emperor. Prince Shotoku's daughter, the eldest lady of the Imperial Palace, King Hime, has been telling me in my ears about the tragic situation of Prince Shotoku's family, and as soon as I close my eyes, it is as if I see Prince Shotoku and his family. They asked why an outsider should persecute them. You have to remember that you must find a way to get rid of the Soga clan, otherwise, the great cause that Emperor Jimmu has passed down with great difficulty will not be inherited by the descendants of the emperor. Remember! After Emperor Shu Ming finished speaking, he was short of breath.

"Father, father, you're okay! Someone! Someone! Emperor Shu Ming took the hand of the eldest brother and said:

"The great cause that Emperor Jimmu has passed down with great difficulty is not inherited by the emperor's descendants. Remember! "Emperor Shu Ming stopped breathing! Emperor Shumei did not nominate an heir, and the Japanese imperial family fell into a long-term crisis of contention for the throne. In order to ensure the stability of the imperial family, the empress of Emperor Shumei became the new emperor, and Soga Ezo privately conferred on his son Soga Irishika the position of Minister and Purple Crown without the permission of the imperial court, and granted the second son the position of Minister who originally belonged to the Monobe clan (on the grounds that the grandmother of the Soga Irishi brother was the sister of Monobe Moriya). According to the "Twelve Orders of the Crown" formulated by Prince Shotoku, the purple crown is a product, and the right to grant it is in the emperor, and Soga Ezo usurps the imperial power and dominates the world. Su I built a mansion in Gan Ji Hill, and called it "the palace gate of the Son of Heaven" and "the palace gate of the valley", and called his children the princes, instead of the royal family, and acted arbitrarily. Su I Irilu built a gate outside the Su I clan's mansion, and built an armory next to it, with a water tank and dozens of wooden hooks at each gate to prepare for fire. Su I entered the deer, and there were often strong men with swords to protect him. Soga Ezo ordered the people to build Hokoki Temple on Mt. Daidanho, and built a castle to the east of the mountain and built a warehouse to store arrows. Whenever Soga Ezo came in and out, there must be fifty soldiers with him to protect him. The Su I clan gathered the athletes, known as the "Oriental Servant", and made the clans send their children to serve as guards for the Su I clan, known as the "ancestors and children". In order to deal with the two fathers and sons, the eldest brother first won over the light princes who were dissatisfied with the father and son of the royal family. He secretly promised that when the time came, after overthrowing the two fathers and sons, Soga Ezo and Soga Irika, the light prince would succeed him as the new emperor. The light prince was also dissatisfied with Su I Ezo and Su I Irishi, father and son, and recommended his friend, Zhongchen Kamazu, to participate together, and Zhongchen Kamazu was the person Su I respected the most. The middle minister Kamazu believes that the eldest brother and the prince can achieve great things. Under the plan of the middle minister Kamazu, he persuaded the eldest brother and the prince to marry the daughter of Soga Ishikawa Maro:

"What, you asked me to marry the daughter of Soga Ishikawa Maro?"

"Yes! His Royal Highness! "The eldest brother prince Zou frowned and did not speak, and the middle minister knew what the eldest brother prince was worried about - the rise of the Suga clan was because Suga Mazi successfully married his three daughters to his nephew Emperor Chongjun, his nephew Prince Sunshotoku, and his nephew Sun Shuming Emperor as concubines, so to speak, the eldest brother prince has the blood of the Suga clan. The eldest brother prince was afraid, and the Suga clan rose again.

"His Royal Highness! Any strong fortress is very difficult to attack from the outside, but if you attack from the inside of the fortress, then the strong fortress will not be breached. Soga Ishikawa Maro is the son of Soga Mari, and Soga Ezo killed his uncle for his power, which is an immoral act in itself, and the palace guard Saeki Komaro, as well as the sea dog Yokatsumaro and the young dog Yokai Amita, etc., are all samurai who hold the palace guard and the powerful Kongwu. On top of that, they are both dissatisfied with Soga Ezo and Soga Irishi, father and son. "Under the plot of the middle minister, the eldest brother and the prince killed Su Irilu. Su I, the father of Su Izu, saw that the general trend was gone, and committed suicide by burning the house. Subsequently, the light prince ascended the throne as Emperor Kotoku. The eldest brother of the middle brother was appointed as the crown prince, and the middle eldest brother of the prince eliminated the political power such as the prince of Arima through various means. He consolidated his power by conquering the Ezo people, and subsequently became Emperor Tenchi after the death of Emperor Kotoku.
