Chapter 60: Prince Shotoku (2)

"Youkai... You got to the point...

Some Buddhists don't know what's going on, the team of exorcists is quite large, and they are likely to threaten the power of the official family, what do you think? ”

“… I don't understand, why are these Buddhists all here?

I don't seem to be giving them that power... Something interesting... When you haven't gained a foothold, you want to take control of the country quickly? ”

The prince sneered and stroked the corner of the table, and Budu also looked crazy, in case there were countless temples built in Dahe, it was estimated that he would definitely go crazy.

"It seems... The process of the Sui State must be faster... The promotion of Buddhism is a good thing, but they want to control the country? Don't make a fuss, the army is still in Su I's house and my hands.

In any case, if outsiders come to control the government, you have to think about it.

Budu, how is Onochen? Although I have seen him for a long time, I don't talk much about him. ”

"In the Sui Kingdom, there should be no problems in terms of language, the official language may still need to be honed, and the specifics of etiquette are also well mastered. I know about the situation in Silla.

It's just that, Lord Prince, at most a month, Onotomi has nothing to learn, and I think he is already an excellent diplomat. So, when do you think he should go to the Sui State? ”

"Not yet... The call for the revival of Rena is still too high, and if I rashly send an envoy, I will inevitably be confined to disadvantage.

Therefore, I now want to unify the opinions of the imperial court, and since the Su family has no opinion or means to hinder my reform, it is only a matter of time before those families come to me. ”

The stable handed the silk book in his hand to Budu, who opened it and saw that it was Chinese characters, but Bu didn't say anything, just thought.

"Limit the monopoly of those families on the official positions of the imperial court, and since they are disobedient, I will replace them with a group of people who are willing to listen to me."

“… But then, the Su family and the crown prince have to guard against the counterattack of those families.

And that's just your first step, and you're afraid there's something else to hide. ”

"Yes, but I can't tell you right now."

Budu handed back the silk book and returned to where he should be.

"How about solving the business of the imperial court, or rather, the superficial things, Budu, and Taoism?"

"There are some eyebrows, Prince.

The local Taoists didn't give a pill how it would be up to the standards of an immortal, but I found some ways to maintain good health, or at least not let the body die because of illness. ”

"But you still can't live forever?"

Budu saluted and did not answer, and the prince understood what she meant.

If you can't live forever, it's still useless, but it can reduce a little bit of physical impairment.

“… Lord Prince, did the immortals come to you that day? ”

Budu has a longing for immortality for Ellie, as long as he can ask for a way to live forever from her, no matter what, she will agree to the immortal's conditions.

Even if he is just a slave of that immortal.

"She went to the far west, a place even farther away than the Sui Kingdom."

"Is it..."

Since it's a good idea, then don't choose if you can, after all, there is no benefit to the monster body.

The prince didn't want to use Erli's method, but he didn't want to tell Budu about his plan. The two have been longing for immortality for almost ten years, and naturally understand that they will not harm each other, and Budu is loyal to himself and even more loyal to the prince.

It's just that the prince understands that the change of identity has on his own advantages and disadvantages, and this is obviously more inferior than superior, and he will never tell her as a last resort. If she had told her, it would have been the time to become a youkai in the next second.

"You have to synthesize the power of the Su family as much as possible and wipe out the rabble in the government and the opposition. Even if you go to blow the pillow wind again, Su and my family must not have a fork in this time, otherwise the two of us will definitely have no chance of immortality. ”

"Yes, Prince.

Also, what do you think of Yamashiro? Will you join us, or will you become the king of the world? ”

Budu bowed forward, waiting for the prince's answer, who just tapped his finger on the table and said nothing.

Then, she also understood what the prince meant, and bowed again.

……

……

……

"Did that junior say it?"

The old man looked at the silk book from Budu and shook his head.

He controls most of the government, but his complexion is not bad, his hair is neatly tied at the back of his head, and silver and green silk are mixed with each other. The elaborate red blouse was brand new, but it landed haphazardly on uneven dirt.

“… The old man really can't cure him, just like the old man has never been able to integrate your team, half a demon like a family. ”

"Hmph...... We will always be equal to each other, Minister. I couldn't have accepted your employment without a deal I liked. ”

The eldest companion Ruojia, who was half-lying on the ground, looked at the minister in front of him with a smile. He is still like that, he doesn't want to listen to anyone's orders, he is already an old man in his seventies, but his complexion and face are still not as young as a person of this age should be.

On the left side of his face, at some point, he put on a half-bronze mask, barely hiding the face that felt terrifying at first glance.

"I still don't want to care about the affairs of the official family.

Unless you can use the official family to find the tengu's lair, or something of equal value, I will intervene in the fight between your families. ”

"It's interesting that the Buddhists didn't come to infiltrate your ranks."

"I'm welcome, but if you're against killing youkai? I see if it's the scriptures or my sword. Isn't it just because you use Buddhism to control slaves? Don't feel like you have any moral high ground. ”

“… The old man has never felt that there is a moral high point, but you, human beings themselves, are afraid of you. ”

The minister, Su I, stood up, put the silk book in his hand in the fire pit in front of the two, and watched the silk book burn to ashes.

“… Let me tell you one thing, the tree is a big move. ”

“… And when I can grow into an island, the wind will obey me. ”

The final negotiation was of no avail, and Su Ma Zi didn't say much, but went to a branch by the fire and scattered the ashes of the silk book into the fire.

"Then, the old man will definitely get rid of you in the future, half-demon."

After saying that, he didn't look at the big companion Ruojia again, and walked out on his own.

Otomo Ruojia's expression changed to a sneer, and he whispered in the direction he left.

“… Don't you know that your power is shrinking a little bit? Arrogant or something, when that prince finishes what he wants to do, he will stab you with a soft knife.

You still believe in this set of family members? Amusing. ”

"Uncle Shi."

Behind Obanruka's house, the curtain opened, and a middle-aged exorcist walked in with a solemn face. He turned and looked at the man standing in front of him.

"What, Su Kefeng?

Is there an accident in Kyushu? ”

"Master Wei is seriously ill."

“…… When was this? ”

After all, he is a comrade-in-arms who has been fighting with him for a long time, and it is impossible for Otomo Ruojia to ignore it, but he is also such a big person, and feelings are only something that young people can play with. He just felt that he had to absorb the elites of this team, so that he would have more right to speak.

"Twenty days ago, Shizu sent someone to let you go over as soon as possible to suppress the forces in Kyushu.

The youkai are starting to stir up, and the Hayato in the south has already sent us information, and the exorcist forces over there have almost been cleared by the youkai. ”

"I'm afraid it's another crisis on Iyo Island... Come with me. ”

Otomo Wakaya stood up and prepared to gather his team and attack the island of Kyushu.

The current situation seems to be very poor, otherwise I would not have led a team to rescue. Those who have a short life, when it has passed, it is time to let go and contribute their strength.

It's really not good, and being "died a natural death" is not something that can't be chosen.

Those Buddhists had better mind themselves, if they want to set foot in this place, they have to see the exorcists in this place, whether they are willing or not.

……

……

……

“……

Gu, the king, this is what the lonely thinks. ”

The prince sat below, and the female king above looked at the silk book presented by the prince.

Just now, the prince regent said his intentions and intentions, as well as the benefits to the Soga family and the imperial court, and then handed these contents to King Nutabe.

Notabe is no longer the young queen, she has become an excellent politician in the past ten years. Although she is from the Su family and is also towards the people of the Su family, once she threatens the country, she will never destroy the country because of her family.

She used the crown prince to consolidate her power, and used the Su family to suppress the prince's authority and prestige under herself. So no matter how she fights outside, her position will never be shaken, but will rise because of the intensification of the situation.

What the prince proposes now is beneficial to the country, to herself and the prince, and according to common sense, the opposition of the Su family is. But now, the people of the Su family are below, and there is no expression, but people from other families are whispering.

"Do you want to suppress the big family..."

Nutabe put down the silk book and looked at the stable prince who was sitting on the other side of him.

The prince just looked at the officials below with a smile on his face.

She turned her gaze back to Soga Mazi below, who nodded with an almost imperceptible movement.

Then, an agreement has been reached with the Su family, so now it's just a matter of going through the process. Moreover, if it is beneficial to oneself, then there is no need to object.

"The plan proposed by the Prince Regent, this king has considered it once or twice, and thinks that it has merit.

This king wants to carry out his government, what do you think? ”

Without waiting for the people below to react, Su I Mazi spoke first.

"What the prince mentioned is a policy to determine the country, and it does not move the fundamentals, and it is also beneficial to the people, which is really a good prescription. The minister is willing to support the king's administration. ”

The ministers spoke, and everyone couldn't say anything, at this time, he had a feud with the Su family and the prince, that is, looking for death. So, they had to say.

"Your Majesty also wishes the king's governance to be reformed."

"That's good."

As he said this, the prince and Soga Mako glanced at each other.
