In 699 AD, in the Tang Empire, it was the second year of the holy calendar.

At this time, the Wa Kingdom had been renamed Japan, and its emperor was only 16 years old, that is, the 42nd emperor in history, Emperor Bunmu. Light is the eldest son of the Prince of Caobi (well, I really can't help but want to complain about this name, it's really really vulgar) and the eldest son of the Apoi Princess.

Speaking of which, I have to say a few words.

Emperor Kusakabe was the second son of Emperor Tenmu, and his mother was Emperor Jito.

However, Prince Kusakabe died when he was only the crown prince, so he did not have time to inherit the throne.

It stands to reason that the light was originally not eligible to inherit the throne.

In Wakoku, only the son of the emperor can be called an imperial prince. The son of the prince should be called a king and cannot inherit the throne.

However, because his grandmother, Emperor Jitong, was very fond of him, he was called 'Light Prince' before he became the crown prince and enjoyed the treatment of a prince. As luck would have it, Prince Kusakabe died in the third year of Emperor Jitong, and another prince of Takaichi, who was qualified to inherit the throne, was also killed in the eleventh year of Emperor Jitong, also in 696 AD, and became the crown prince.

The following year, in 697 AD, Emperor Jitong abdicated and ascended the throne lightly, officially becoming the 42nd Emperor of the Wa Kingdom.

However, since he was only 15 years old when he ascended the throne, the affairs of the court were still presided over by Emperor Jitong.

This is also the first example in Japanese history that Emperor Taijo abdicated and still presided over the government and worked alongside Emperor Bunmu.

As for the Emperor. His real name is Zanra Corsino......

All right. Throughout the imperial lineage of Japan. It's basically a mess? Ethics composition.

The story of Emperor Jitong will not be introduced here, but in short...... But this woman is very powerful, after the Renshen Rebellion and the rebellion of Prince Otsu, she has always controlled the court. During her reign, although she stopped normal communication with Datang, she did not stop stealing from Datang in private. Learn the culture.

The "Great Treasure Ryūryū" implemented during the reign of Emperor Bunmu is said to have inherited the will of Emperor Tsuki, that is, Kumono Sanryo. It can even be said that the reason why Emperor Bunmu was able to promulgate the "Great Treasure Law Decree" was also because Kumono Sanra laid a good foundation for him.

At the same time, Zanra Tsuno is an ambitious woman.

She is not a political ornament.

According to the "Nihon Shoki", it was this woman who tried her best to strengthen the imperial power to the extreme.

In the Wa Kingdom, there is a waka song with a lyric in it. It's called 'Maharaja is the Emperor of Heaven', and it was also initiated by Tsumono Sanra. After her. The emperor became the supreme presence of Japan, a symbol of the gods.

Let's go back to the study in the Ya Garden of Changzhou County.

When Lu Chengzhi said the shipbuilding drawings of the Wuya battleship, Yao Sanlang could no longer remain calm and looked at him in shock.

"You ......"

He cried out.

Lu Chengzhi smiled, "I guessed! ”

After speaking, he didn't pay attention to Yao Sanlang again, but turned his gaze back to Di Guangyuan.

It's just that Di Guangyuan didn't show any special joy, but instead showed a bitter smile and shook his head at Lu Chengzhi.

"Mr. Lu, I'm afraid this matter is no longer for this official to handle.

Don't say that it is the official, even if it is the monarch, I am afraid that he does not have this power. This matter is very involved and needs to be reported to the imperial court. This person must not have any mistakes, he must be strictly guarded, and then sent to the divine capital, where the saint will interrogate and decide. ”

He is not Di Renjie, and there is only one Di Renjie in the entire Tang Dynasty.

Di Renjie has the ability to declare war on the outside world, but he Di Guangyuan does not have such courage.

This has already involved the Wa Kingdom, and it is not a small county order that he can decide, so he must report to the imperial court.

I'm afraid that even Yang Shouwen didn't expect that things would develop to this point.

Yang Shouwen originally thought that this Yao Sanlang was from Annan.

Annam has been an inseparable part of China since ancient times, and now it is under the rule of the Protectorate of Annam. If it only involves Annan, Di Guangyuan can make a decision. But when it comes to the Wa Kingdom, it's complicated.

Lu Chengzhi was stunned at first, but also reacted.

Yes, this matter is really not something that he Di Guangyuan can handle.

"County Zun, there must still be his comrades in this Changzhou, you can continue to ask."

"Don't ask, I can tell you."

Yao Saburo raised his head and said with a wry smile: "I did have a fellow party before, and you also know him, that is, the fearless Zen master. ”

"Huh?"

"When the Battle of Baijiangkou was lost, Emperor Tianzhi felt that the ships of the Tang Kingdom were high and thick, and it was not our country that could compete with them. From that time on, the emperor hoped to acquire the skills of shipbuilding. In the eighth year of Emperor Tenchi, the emperor sent His Excellency Kawachi Whale to Chang'an to plead guilty, and at the same time pleaded with the emperor of Shangguo, hoping to send someone to learn shipbuilding from Shangguo, but the emperor refused, and was even angrily reprimanded. After His Excellency Hanoi returned to the mainland, he truthfully reported to the Emperor.

However, the Emperor did not give up, so when the envoy of the Kingdom of Heaven sent an envoy to our country, he again made a request to His Excellency Liu Degao......"

Speaking of this, Yao Saburo sighed.

He didn't say the result, but Di Guangyuan and Lu Chengzhi could guess it.

Yao Saburo took a deep breath and continued: "Subsequently, His Excellency Hanoi Whale offered a plan to the Emperor, saying that since the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty refused to teach, we could steal the teacher. Emperor Tenchi was naturally pleased and ordered His Excellency Hanoi Whale to make a detailed plan.

However, a few years later, Emperor Tenchi died, and Prince Iga ascended the throne. The prince had a weak temperament and was afraid that this matter would anger the kingdom, so he resolutely disagreed. After that, the prince of Iga clashed with the prince of the sea people, and the prince of Iga was defeated and committed suicide, and the prince of the sea people won the victory, became our Emperor Tenmu, and summoned His Excellency Kawachi Whale again.

After that, a large number of children of the nobility who were still children at that time were secretly sent to Chang'an to secretly learn the culture of Shangguo.

My real name is Su I Saburo, and I am a child of Su Saburo. As early as the fourth year of Emperor Huangji, the ancestor of the family, Su I, was killed, and the Su I family was ruined. At that time, in order to revitalize the family, my grandfather was ordered by Emperor Kotoku to come to the Tang Kingdom with His Excellency Takada Nemaro, and settled in the Tang Kingdom, changed his name to Yao Shichun, married a Tang woman and settled in Changzhou. ”

Lu Chengzhi was dumbfounded when he heard this, and felt a little incredible.

And Di Guangyuan was even more frightened...... Who is Emperor Gogoku? As a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, you don't need to know.

At this time, Datang was the center of the world.

As a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, the pride in my heart is just like that of the Americans in later generations, or even more.

However, Lu Chengzhi had heard of the name Takada Nemaro.

It was the second time that the Wa State sent a deputy envoy to the Tang Dynasty, and at that time in the court, he still left some deeds.

Takada Nemaro, that should be the fourth year of Yonghui.

At that time, the Battle of Baijiangkou had not yet happened, and the Japanese people in the Tang Dynasty were like grandsons, and they couldn't see that they still had such thoughts.

"Then why did you settle in Cheung Chau?"

Di Guangyuan couldn't help but ask.

Soga Saburo said: "Actually, as early as the time of Emperor Kotoku, we knew about the existence of the Imperial Treasure.

The reason why I know is because after His Excellency Yakushi went to the kingdom for the first time, he met a person named Gao Xianren. It is said that Gao Xianren was originally a general under Fu Gongyou, and he once hid a batch of treasures for Fu Gongyou. According to Gao Xianren, the treasure not only contains the drawings of the five-tooth warship, but also the "Yang Gong Asks Right" made by the former Yue Guogong. That Yang Gong asked correctly, it was written by Yang Su, the Duke of Yue Guo in the previous dynasty, which recorded his life's methods of using troops and the art of governing the country.

Since then, His Excellency Medicine Master has wanted to find this treasure.

We don't ask for anything else, only the drawings and "Yang Gong Asks Right...... My grandfather, on the other hand, was ordered to look for clues. ”

"Who's the pharmacist?"

Lu Chengzhi turned his head to look at Di Guangyuan.

Di Guangyuan thought for a while and said softly: "What he said should be the deputy envoy of the first mission sent by the Wa Kingdom, and it seems that he is called a pharmacist." ”

After speaking, Di Guangyuan gently rubbed his temples.

"What about the fearless Zen master?"

Di Guangyuan took a deep breath, looked at Su I Saburo and asked in a deep voice.

He found that this small island country, which he had never paid attention to, or disdained to understand, had begun to secretly plan and calculate decades ago. And above the court, they don't know anything about it, it's really too terrifying. (To be continued.) )
