Chapter 494: Minister of the Imperial Administration

"Haha, I haven't seen you for months, but Mr. Matsudaira Ichiro came to the court meeting on behalf of Fuso?"

Matsudaira Ichiro saluted Wang Xiang, shook his head and said, "This time it was Miyamoto-sama who came to attend the court meeting in person, and I just accompanied him." ”

"Oh? Daichi Miyamoto is also here? Wang Xiang didn't have a good impression of that Miyamoto Daichi, and he still felt that Matsudaira Ichiro was more of his own taste, perhaps because Matsudaira Ichiro gave him a lot of gifts.

Matsudaira Ichiro nodded and said, "Yes, the delegation that Fuso came to participate in the Great Imperial Meeting this time was led by Miyamoto-sama. ”

Wang Xiang said with a smile: "No matter who leads the Fusang mission, in short, I only recognize you as a friend." ”

Matsudaira Ichiro's face showed a hint of joy when he heard this.

"By the way, how are my five cities in Fuso doing now?" After a long journey, he rushed to Fusang to help Emperor Sang quell the rebellion, and Wang Xiang was still very concerned, because the back and forth was not very good, and there were many things to deal with in the Tang Dynasty during this time, so he didn't go to Fusang again after returning, but a few months ago, he asked Zhang Yicheng to bring some craftsmen and farmers to Fusang to build the city, and now I don't know how.

After listening to Wang Xiang's question, Matsudaira Ichiro's face changed, and he said in a low voice: "I came here today to report this matter to Hou Ye." ”

Seeing that Matsudaira Ichiro's face was strange, Wang Xiang faintly felt bad, put away his smile and said in a deep voice: "What's wrong?" ”

Matsudaira Ichiro hesitated for a moment and said: "Because His Majesty the Emperor is young, Miyamoto-sama has the military and political power of Fuso, and after the Hou Ye left Fuso, Miyamoto-sama ordered to find a capable person in Fuso. ”

"And then?" Wang Xiang frowned.

"Later, Miyamoto-sama found a lot of powerful people, so he wanted to recover those five cities......"

Wang Xiang interrupted coldly: "Which five cities? ”

Hearing the chill in Wang Xiang's tone, Matsudaira Ichiro's heart trembled slightly. He replied in a low voice: "It is the five cities in the southwest that were handed over to Hou Ye before. ”

"How's the five cities doing now?"

"Already...... It has been taken back by Miyamoto-sama. ”

Wang Xiang's eyes froze. Cried out, "What about the people I left there?" ”

"I was arrested by Miyamoto-sama."

"Good." Wang Xiang sneered. He glanced at Matsudaira Ichiro and asked, "Why did you come to tell me about this?" ”

Matsudaira Ichiro snorted and hurriedly said: "His Majesty the Emperor and I don't agree with Miyamoto-sama's approach, Miyamoto-sama is the minister of Taise, he holds the military and political power of Fuso, and there are many powerful people under him, and we can't help it." This time, Miyamoto led a delegation to Chang'an to participate in the Great Dynasty Meeting, and His Majesty the Emperor asked me to come with me to tell the Hou Ye and His Majesty the Tang Emperor about this, and His Majesty the Emperor is willing to abide by the agreement with the Hou Ye and is willing to make friends with the Tang Dynasty from generation to generation. It's just that now the military and political power of Fusang is in the hands of Lord Miyamoto, and I hope that Lord Hou and His Majesty the Tang Emperor will understand. ”

Wang Xiang understood as soon as he heard that the emperor was young, and after the rebellion of Soga Ezo was put down, Miyamoto Daichi's ambition grew, and after recruiting a group of capable people, he appointed himself as the minister of the imperial government to take over the power. The Minister of Imperial Affairs is the highest official position in Fuso, equivalent to the emperor's teacher, and has greater rights than the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. And now Miyamoto Daichi has appointed himself as the Minister of Imperial Affairs, which shows his ambitions.

The five cities on the southwest coast of Fusang are the gateway to the Tang Dynasty in Fuso, and Wang Xiang understands that Miyamoto Daichi also understands. An ambitious person will naturally not hand over the gateway to the outside world to someone else, so Miyamoto Daichi will do something to these five cities.

"If he dares to do this, he must have recruited some powerful person." Wang Xiang sneered, when he left Fusang, he left a few black guards to guard the city, the black guards with strength talent are considered to be the top existence among ordinary abilities, Miyamoto Daichi can take five cities and capture them, then his subordinates must have powerful super abilities.

Matsudaira Ichiro hurriedly replied: "Miyamoto-sama has indeed recruited a lot of powerful people, and there are two people who are particularly powerful. ”

Wang Xiang's heart moved when he heard this, and he said, "Did Miyamoto Daichi bring them to the court meeting?" ”

Matsudaira Ichiro was stunned when he heard this, nodded and said, "How does Master Hou know?" ”

"Hmph, it seems that he wants to show off his strength in the Ability Competition."

Although Matsudaira Ichiro said that the two abilities brought by Miyamoto Daichi were very powerful, Wang Xiang didn't take it to heart, he had absolute confidence in Li Yuanba and Yuwen Chengdu, the violent talents of the two of them were originally the top combat talents, and during this time he also provided a large number of spars for them to absorb, and the abilities of this world definitely don't have so many spars to absorb, and even they don't know that they can improve their strength by absorbing the energy of the spar.

Miyamoto Dazhi dared to privately destroy the contract to take away the five coastal cities in the southwest and capture Wang Xiang's people who stayed in Fusang, this matter will naturally not pass like this, Miyamoto Dazhi's plan Wang Xiang has already understood that he brought people to participate in the Ability Contest to show the power in his hands, this world is like this, whoever has the strength has the final say, Wang Xiang was able to let him hand over these five cities because Wang Xiang held absolute power, Now Miyamoto Daichi thinks that he has the power to fight against Wang Xiang and even against the Tang Dynasty, so he can't wait to show it.

Wang Xiang was not in a hurry to make a move, he wanted to see why Miyamoto Daichi had such confidence at the court meeting.

"In that case, what do you mean by His Majesty the Emperor?" Wang Xiang asked lightly.

Matsudaira Ichiro's face moved, and he said in a low voice: "Miyamoto Daichi overstepped his power and had a heart of disobedience, but His Majesty the Emperor was too young to compete with him. ”

Wang Xiang nodded when he heard this, and said: "I understand, this matter can be resolved at the court meeting, but I hope that there will not be another Miyamoto Daichi after this matter." ”

Matsudaira Ichiro nodded hurriedly, Wang Xiang patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Actually, I think you are quite suitable to be the minister of Fuso." ”

Matsudaira Ichiro waved his hand again and again: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

Wang Xiang shook his head and said: "What dare you dare, I will ask you if you want to be the emperor, after all, the emperor is young, and she can't handle many things herself, and it's good to have a minister to help deal with it." ”

Seeing that Wang Xiang seemed to be serious, Matsudaira Ichiro couldn't help but move in his heart, and whispered tentatively: "Master Hou really thinks that I can be the minister of the imperial government?" ”

Wang Xiang smiled slightly: "Then it depends on how you do it......"
