Seeing that Qingyun was so vigilant, Li Shenjun hurriedly snorted, with a smile on his face, and continued,

"Qing Shaoxia don't be excited, now that it's over, I might as well say it directly.

I have accepted the invitation of the four princes, and I have offered wine for my staff.

When the prince was imprisoned, I had already guessed that all the forces would fall here, so I rushed first.

Of course, as you and I said when we first met, finding the support of the Empress Dowager is indeed one of the main purposes of this trip.

Later, the little dragon king returned to Luodu and made a plan with Jinshang, and most of the core staff of the princes had also heard of it.

As a staff member, how can I not know about it? ”

This explanation is also reasonable, so Qingyun did not doubt, but replied coldly,

"Oh? Today we just met the three princes outside the temple, but we didn't expect the four princes to be one step ahead. ”

"Hey, the so-called stupid bird flies first.

The power of the third prince and the fourth prince's mother clan is not comparable to that of the two brothers, so they naturally have to work harder. ”

When Li Shenjun said this, his voice was very long, and his expression was quite weird.

The crown prince is the adopted son of the queen mother, and the second prince is born of a noble person.

Gao Feng's two Northern Yanwang clans are naturally one of the largest forces in the north at this time.

If you look at other dynasties, after the crown prince lost power, whether it was the order of the eldest and youngest or the power of the maternal family, the status of the second prince naturally stood out from the crowd, and there should have been no suspense about the future of the throne.

But at this time, it is the Northern Wei Kingdom, and the pros and cons become very subtle.

Throughout the ages, the heirs of the royal family are often not accustomed to accepting their fate.

After all, the person who is on the chair will definitely have the power of the world, and those who do not grab the seat can only live trembling for a lifetime, and the slightest trespass or change may lead to annihilation.

Such a huge contrast made countless dragon sons and grandsons try to squeeze across the single-plank bridge at any cost.

The ancestors of the Tuoba clan learned many lessons from the previous dynasties, so they were particularly decisive in the matter of establishing an heir, and formulated a very bloody and criticized system-

insisted that the eldest son ascend the throne and the son and mother died, so as to put an end to the struggle for heirs and relatives interfering in politics.

When the emperor's first son was born, he would immediately be made the crown prince, the mother would be killed on the spot, the mother family would be expelled from the capital, and the prince would be raised by the empress.

Today's prince's mother, the Lin family, is even more mysterious, and no one knows what it is.

Now that the crown prince has suddenly lost power, and the mothers of the other princes are still alive and well, the situation has become more delicate.

Especially the second prince, his maternal Gao clan is too big to lose, and the "Guozhang Lord" is even more heavily armed and squatting on the side of the couch in Luodu - Liang Guojun, where Xiaoxia and his party made a big fuss the day before.

At this time, if you really want to kill the noble people and eliminate the Gao clan forces around Luodu, I am afraid it will not be so simple.

Li Shenjun emphasized the concept of the mother clan here, just to remind Qingyun that the mother clan is also successful, and the mother clan is defeated, unless the old Gao family wants to change the sky and rebel, otherwise the strength of the Gao family will definitely become a drag on the second prince.

Qingyun's expression remained unchanged, and his tone was still cold,

"So Brother Li put the bet on the four princes?"

"Hey, Brother Qing is a smart person, there are many things that if you don't explain it thoroughly, Brother Qing will definitely doubt my sincerity."

Li Shenjun paused, and Yan Wanwan, seducing each other step by step,

"My Longxi Li clan has existed for hundreds of years and has its own way.

This kind of thing has been experienced a lot.

At such moments, it is natural not to put eggs in one basket.

I took the initiative to come to Brother Qing today, in fact, I was also entrusted by someone. ”

"Oh? By whom? ”

"It is the noble person that Qingyun met by chance on the mountain road at the back gate of the temple."

"The Third Prince?"

Li Shenjun coughed twice in embarrassment,

"Yes, the third prince and the fourth prince are weak after all, and if they don't work together, it will be difficult to do anything.

The two mothers have secretly formed an alliance, and even if one side is damaged, the other side will take care of its bloodline. ”

The mother family has been damaged, which naturally means that the prince has succeeded, as long as the root is left, it is not difficult to regain the family within one day.

Qingyun naturally understood this, but the doubts and uneasiness in his heart did not diminish in the slightest.

"Why do you tell me so many secrets?"

Li Shenjun threw another flattering smile,

"After all, Brother Qing is a southerner, and he will not be involved in the struggle between the heirs of the Northern Dynasty in the end.

Even if you bow to the Little Dragon King, it will be a matter of the rivers and lakes.

Xiaolongwang, the idle prince, is notoriously heavy on the rivers and lakes rather than the community, and he supports the second prince just to be loyal to morality, and he will not get too deep into the game, so it doesn't matter.

After all, these things can't be hidden, and there is nothing to hide.

However, the third prince does have the heart to make friends with the Qing brothers, so he specially asked me to bring a word,

I hope that I will have time another day and be able to talk with Brother Qing alone, I don't know what Brother Qing thinks? ”

"Good! But in exchange, I also want to change my understanding from Brother Li. ”

Li Shenjun didn't expect Qingyun to agree so happily, and he made a condition on his own, and he couldn't help but be a little stunned.

"Oh? Brother Qing, please speak. ”

"I wonder what Brother Li thinks of the four princes?"

Qingyun suddenly asked about this festival, which was actually due to his own heart knot.

Originally, he had always cherished the regret of his father's failure to kill the king.

But after getting acquainted with the Little Dragon King and getting the promise of the King of Wei, his idea of inheriting his father's will has gradually become dusty.

But fading away is not eliminated, he recognized King Wei's personal charm and governance measures, but he was not persuaded by King Wei's great truth.

The Huayi righteousness that Uncle Chen instilled in him since he was a child still fills his mind and deepens his blood.

The Northern Dynasties have been inhabited by the Chinese people in the Central Plains since ancient times, and one day they will return to our Chinese people.

Today, the King of Wei revived the Han rites, which is very good, but not enough.

If the subsequent kings of Wei could not uphold this national policy, Qingyun still could not completely relieve himself.

When he was under house arrest in the palace, although he saw several princes, and even saw the five princes with braids,

But there was no actual communication with them.

Qingyun wants to give himself an explanation, so he needs to get an answer.

Qingyun himself knew very well that if the future king of Wei really had to be the deposed crown prince, he would never be able to let go of his past grievances.

Li Shenjun's eyes flickered, obviously not quite understanding why Qingyun was interested in the princes,

But since words are an exchange, he will naturally not slack off,

After a moment of contemplation, he replied,

"You should have seen the waste prince.

He grew up in Pingcheng as a child, and was greatly influenced by the nobles of Daidi, and was arrogant and unfriendly to the Chinese.

To tell the truth, the Central Plains Shi clan had long had the intention of impeaching the prince, but they didn't expect that in the end, it was the old clans who brought about his own destruction, which is also a bit ironic.

As for the second prince Yuan Ke, he learned from Qinghe Cui Jingru and was quite gentlemanly, but he was criticized for being too lenient and benevolent.

Although the third prince Yuan Yu is not very old, he is very precocious, sociable, courteous and virtuous, and the world thinks that today's Meng taste, but it is too ostentatious.

The fourth prince Yuan Yi is good at reading, likes to talk, the city is very deep, and the joy and anger are invisible, and they are not things in the pool. ”

Although this comment is few words, it will stop when it is pointed, but it pays attention to the current commentary, and also talks about the advantages and disadvantages, which can not be said to be pertinent.

Qingyun also nodded again and again after hearing it, it seems that the other party still respects him very much, and there is no prevarication.

So Qingyun hugged his fists and thanked him,

"Thank you, Brother Li, I still have important things to do today, and I need to go first.

I also want to ask Brother Li to bring a message to the third prince, saying that he will be disturbed another day. ”

Speaking of which, it can barely be regarded as a very happy conversation,

Therefore, Li Shenjun's expression was obviously much relaxed at this time, and as soon as he hugged his fist to Qingyun, he hid in the winding corridor again.

Qingyun's heart is actually not as calm as it seems, although he is not deeply involved, but under the strict teaching of Uncle Chen, he is familiar with the "Sutra" and "History".

So he still knows a little about the royal heirs.

Now that the second prince has entered the mouth of the tiger, it is an excellent opportunity for the third prince and the fourth prince to borrow a knife to kill people.

Since even Qingyun wants to know this, then those players who are at the top of the plot have naturally seen it clearly, so Li Shenjun is not afraid to directly appear and lobby.

Their ultimate goal was most likely to persuade the Little Dragon King to stay out of the matter.

However, can people who have been caught in the whirlpool really stay out of the situation?

Qingyun's footsteps also became extremely heavy at this time.

Kick, kick, kick, kick,

With a burst of tiger steps, a loud voice remembered in the empty hall, buzzing as if there was an echo,

"Your Majesty, the third prince left the palace without permission."

King Wei's face was calm, and he didn't seem to be surprised at all,

"Oh, where did he get the passpass?"

The big man who was reporting to the King of Wei was none other than Yang Dayan, and he continued,

"It should be with the eldest princess of Pengcheng out of the palace."

The eldest princess is married and widowed, and she still needs to live in her husband's house, but she still has the right to visit the palace from time to time, and of course there will be a token of passage.

King Wei nodded,

"Hey, at this moment, probably only the sixth sister would act so recklessly. Is there any movement on the side of the four princes? ”

"The fourth prince himself has arrived and settled down, but according to the report, he has already sent his staff to the temple in advance."

"Staff? His royal title has not been divided yet, so he opened the mansion privately? ”

"The four princes follow the etiquette system, so naturally they don't dare to trespass.

His current staff does not use the private official system, but deals with it according to the doorman.

Chief of Staff Li Shenjun said that the sacrificial wine is not called a long history. ”

"Li Shenjun? But the son of the Li Zuo family? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, exactly."

In the case of the assassin king more than ten years ago, Li Zuo had an ambiguous relationship with the southerners, although there is no empirical evidence to prove that he was directly involved in the assassination case, but it is difficult to get rid of all of it, so he is always jealous of the king of Wei.

King Wei's face finally became solemn at this time,

"Bang Zhen stared at Li Shenjun, especially paying attention to his contact with those southerners."

"Yes! However, it seems that the Nanren sent another group of people to be stationed in the Tai Chamber, and it seems that they are making a big move. ”

"Humph!" , King Wei's raised hand hit the armrest of the dragon chair hard,

"If those Heavenly Masters dare to step on two boats again, I will not be as merciful as Emperor Wencheng, and leave them a glimmer of life. You ask someone to bring my message to the Guanyun Daoist, and ask him to give me an explanation. ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Daoist Guanyun has already taken the initiative to inform our informant.

This group of people is a silk merchant of the Southern Dynasty, led by the younger brother of Elder Qi Wu, but the appearance at this time is indeed suspicious.

Daoist Guanyun also thought that their people seemed to be deliberately avoiding Xiao Yan and his party, and these two groups of southerners should also have their own plans. ”

"Can you find out the forces that secretly echo the prince?"

"At present, the forces of all sides have not shown their obvious feet.

The day before yesterday, the monk of the Biqian State of Panpan attacked the righteous brother of the Little Dragon King who traced Erzhu Xinxing's whereabouts and knocked him off the cliff.

Later, it was found out that the two were just in a hurry to buy veterinary medicine to appease the suddenly irritable Nanfan Lion Tiger.

There seems nothing wrong with the informants tracking down the town's veterinarians who came into contact with them.

The Japanese expressed their allegiance to General Feng, but were assassinated after coming into contact with General Feng.

The identity of the assassin is believed to be a woman, and since no one has witnessed it, the real culprit and motive have not yet been identified.

"Got it, have you ever verified the whereabouts of the love tribulation?"

"Eight or nine is not far from ten.

It's just that many of the informants in the system are still loyal to the Warriors, and it's hard for us to get accurate information. ”

"Well, always keep an eye on the progress of the little dragon king's side.

Be sure to remind them of the precautions at critical times, and don't disturb the tragedy. ”

"Obey!"

"By the way, the queen has recently improved her Buddhism and wants to find a teacher to become enlightened, who do you think is more suitable?"

This headless sentence made Yang Dayan stunned, but fortunately, he had been with you for a long time, and he was the most considerate, and he understood the main point in a moment.

"The minister thinks that Master Zhi, the monk of Songshan Lanruo Bhikshuni, is the most suitable."

"Then who can keep the queen safe?"

"This ...... With all due respect, the second prince has taken a big risk when he enters the temple this time.

Why bother the queen?

Minister...... Oh!

If necessary, the minister's wife can protect the queen. ”

"If the second prince can get close to the love tribulation, there is naturally no need to alarm the queen.

Therefore, it may be necessary to favor Mrs. Lao at that time. ”

Yang Dayan was full of wry smiles, this set of Wei Wang Shi had already been ordered, and a series of questions were waiting for him to drill, where did he still have the reason not to be hit? I could only respond solemnly: "Obey!" ”

"With the third and fourth princes, I will seal the title of the king as soon as possible, so as to stop their thoughts.

The position of the four princes in the long history is left but not sealed, and I will personally seal a title of sacrificial wine to the boy of the Li family, hoping that the four princes will know the advance and retreat.

As for the third prince, let him hurry back and listen to the seal, and don't go to join in the fun. ”

"Yes! I don't know ...... eldest princess."

"I can't control this sixth sister of mine.

Let General Pan bring a word for me, let her have fun and go home early. ”

The vegetarian fasting for the "prince" was in progress, and another 800-mile urgent letter with fire paint sealing was delivered to the temple.

The Taoist general held a note, and his hands trembled, as if the weight of the yellow paper made him unable to hold it and fall to the ground.

Datong handed the letter to the little dragon king who was seated,

"Special Envoy, please take a look."

The little dragon king grabbed the letterhead and swept his eyes twice, jumped up from the stool, and suddenly found that the eyes everywhere seemed to be shooting at him.

"Oh, that, my brother-in-law has something urgent to look for me, I'll come when I go."

The little dragon king pulled the Taoist people aside, and then began to complain wildly,

"King Wei really doesn't think it's a big deal, and he didn't mention it when I set off from Luoyang.

Why did you chase such a decree so quickly?

I also want to send the queen here, oh my mother-in-law, what kind of bad idea did I have, it's good now, it's a big deal......"

Datong was busy persuading on the sidelines,

"Special envoy, don't worry, I'll first find someone to send a message to the back mountain to make arrangements.

However, this is a secret decree, and it must not fall into the eyes of idle people, and it needs to be taken care of by someone reliable.

The first seat of the Taoist system in the temple is obviously inconvenient to leave today, and there are only a few disciples of the Maitreya Hall left.

I know that the envoy has never been very comfortable with Maitreya, so I would like to ask the envoy what he means. ”

The little dragon king returned to the temple this time to escort the "prince" as a special envoy, but he was still very unaccustomed to being called by the unification, and at this time he shook his head like a rattle.

"No, no, the first seat of Maitreya Hall is the most eccentric.

I can't believe it, I think ......"

At that moment, he saw a hand in the crowd outside the hall beckoning to him, as if trying to get his attention.

The little dragon king looked at it carefully, recognized it as Qingyun, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"My brother-in-law is in the crowd, let them escort him.

Hurry up and ask for someone, and we'll meet here. ”

The little dragon king separated the crowd and welcomed Qingyun in,

Before the little dragon king could speak, Qingyun had already told Liu Ying about Liu Ying's injury and coma, the entry of the third prince into the mountain, and the peeps of the monks in the imperial monk's robes.

didn't even take a few breaths in the middle, only his face was red, his neck was bruised, and he finally spit out the last word.

The little dragon king was shocked when he heard this, and immediately wanted to see the third brother, but was stopped by Qingyun desperately.

"Big brother, it's important to go and explore a few of the first virtual and real buildings.

The third brother is taken care of by the second brother, and he can be relieved. ”

The little dragon king remembered the matter at this time, and said the matter of escorting the secret letter to the back mountain, and then suddenly remembered something and asked,

"Fourth Sister and Miss Yin haven't come back?"

"Huh?" , Qingyun then remembered that he hadn't seen the pair of wild girls for three days, and what happened in the past three days was too compact, and he didn't have time to worry about this festival.

Seeing Qingyun's expression, the little dragon king already knew the result, but a few girls walking around the town for a few more days might not necessarily cause any major incidents, especially the little devils like Gu Caiting and Yin Seke.

So he only frowned, and commanded,

"Let's go get down to business first, and I'll send some people down the mountain tomorrow to look for it."

At this time, the Taoist Grand Commander also led a woman dressed as a bhikshuni and walked briskly.

A few people exchanged pleasantries, and Qingyun knew that this woman was Yang Wei, a bhikshuni of the Qiu Chi Kingdom on the list of the Siyi Pavilion.

He remembered that Li Shenjun tapped Yang Wei's name with his knuckles that day, and he couldn't help but look at the woman twice.

Li Shenjun's background is complicated, he thought that Yang Wei was an important person in revealing the secrets of Houshan that day, and the messenger of Datong to find Houshan was also this person, and she must have an extraordinary life experience.

But in terms of physiognomy, this Yang Wei is not very outstanding, just an ordinary middle-aged female nun, not only has a mediocre appearance, but also has no blank space in the marks of the years, and at a glance he knows that he is a pious monk who has little desire and asceticism.

Qingyun's strange gaze did not affect this Yang monk in any way, she still politely saluted, stretched out her hand and said,

"There is Lao Shaoxia, please come here."

The voice is quite hoarse, and it is as ordinary as its appearance.

She led the way and walked in front, Qingyun hurriedly hugged his fists goodbye to Datong and his eldest brother, and hurriedly followed.

Yang Wei's expression was cold, and he didn't like words, so he just walked forward all the way.

But Qingyun always wants to find a chance to talk,

"Yang Daoyou, I met General Yang Dayan when I was in Luodu.

When chatting, I learned that he was also from Qiuchi, and I don't know if he is from his own family with Yang Daoyou? ”

"Yes, the big-eyed general is also Di Yang."

"Di Yang?"

"Qiu Chi is the dwelling place of the Di people.

Qiang and Di are all mountain people, Qiang people are herding, Di people are farming, and so on. ”

"I heard that although Qiuchi is in the Wudu Mountains, the terrain is flat, there are thousands of hectares of fertile land, and the scenery is excellent, like an outdoor peach orchard."

"It's called Hechi. At the turn of the two Han Dynasty, there was an old man who was arrogant for Wang Mang to be a national soldier, and was served as a guest by Gongsun Shu, but it was also cut down by the Later Han Dynasty, and the Kui clan covered its clan several times, and the blood stained the river meander, and the red water was full of ponds, and the peach blossoms in the following years were more colorful than elsewhere. ”

Qiu Chi's real name is Hechi, Qingyun naturally knows it, but he has never heard of Qiu Chi's origin.

was directly scolded back by Yang Wei in this way, and I couldn't talk about it anymore this day.

So he could only follow behind Yang Wei silently and no longer ask questions.

The two of them went one after the other, without saying anything all the way, and came to the small temple where the sky was empty and empty, and the dragon king and young man were at a loss.

Today, the first of the halls is in the front mountain, I don't know where the sacredness is sitting here now?

Coming to the front of the main hall steps, Qingyun suddenly heard a chattering woman's conversation, which seemed to come from the two of them.

The two voices were crisp and tactful, and they were both girls.

It's just that their accents are a little strange, Qingyun thinks it seems to be a Wudi native accent, and it seems to be a Fujian Yue dialect, maybe it's mixed, in short, he can't understand it.

Yang Wei stopped in front of the steps, cleaned up his clothes, and coughed lightly.

Just listen to "Huh? "Take the mud? Two soft shouts,

Two petite figures jumped out of the hall, one red and one white, standing on both sides of the temple door.

The left-handed woman is dressed in red, although she is not tall, but her figure is extremely hot.

Among the women Qingyun reads, only depression can be compared with a short length.

It's just that the woman in red has picturesque eyebrows, her appearance is still depressed, and her charm between her gestures is undisguised, which makes Qingyun feel cold down her spine and dare not look at her.

The other test is a white-clothed girl who is a full-ring bhikshuni with a dignified demeanor, which is in stark contrast to the woman in red.

Not only is her clothes pure white, but her skin is smooth and delicate, like a dust virgin who has not weathered the wind and rain.

Although she jumped out with swift movements, flashing into a white line,

But since she stood still, she has maintained a respectful posture of aggrieved knees, hands on her knees, beautiful eyes wide, cherry lips slightly opened, and her neck bent to look down the stairs.

》》》》》 time to knock on the blackboard《《《《《

In the previous section, we talked about the Yue people and Silla, and in this section, we will sort out the Wu people, Baekje and the Japanese nobles.

The relationship between the Baekje royal family and the Japanese royal family is very clear in the history books of both Asahi and Japan. We have already mentioned that Baekje's Sanjin King is the heir of the king, and the new monarch was brought from Japan, in fact, as early as the time of King Ahsin, Baekje already had a precedent of sending the crown prince to Japan to grow up; Among the Japanese aristocratic surnames, Baekje is the first family with the surname of Watarai, and there are detailed records in the history books of the intermarriage of the royal families of the two countries.

Before the rise of the "Theory of Detachment from Asia" in the Meiji period, Wu Yuanshuo had always been one of the mainstream theories of Japanese ethnic origin.

The earliest evidence for this statement begins in the Chinese historical books "Wei Luo", "Book of Jin", and "Book of Liang", all of which record that "(the Japanese people) called themselves Taibo (Wu Taibo)", until the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the "Zizhi Tongjian First Chapter" said that "today, after the Japanese Youyun is Wu Taibo, Wu died, and its branch entered the sea for the Wa." "For example, they all say that the Japanese people call themselves, and they are not false.

In terms of the peninsula, similar statements are also recorded in the "Chronicles of the Haidong Kingdoms" and the "Song of the Japanese Grand Tour" during the Li Dynasty.

Japan's own Confucian scholars have called it "after the Kokutsuki Lizun is Wu Taibo" in the "Japan Chronicle" of Zhongyan Yuanyue, and Emperor Jimmu is also a descendant of Wu Taibo. The same view was also held in the later Edo Confucian scholar Lin Luoshan's "Treatise on Emperor Jimmu" and "Honcho Tongjian". Even the History of the Church in Japan, which was in the early days of Christianity, contains the same view.

The literal evidence is, of course, very thin, but the cultural examples are more convincing. There are four main types of kanji pronunciation in Japanese: "Wu Yin", "Han Yin", "Tang Yin", and "Idiomatic Sound", among which Wu Yin is also known as "Wayin", "Tsushima Yin", and "Baekje Yin". Before the "Tang Dynasty Envoy" was stationed, "Wu Yin" was the main source of Japanese Yayan. From the change of the name of Wu, we can also clearly see the migratory relationship between Wu, Baekje, and Wa.

In addition, the Wu costumes, lacquer boxes, and clogs that are popular in contemporary Japan have been proved by archaeology to be the Wu culture of the Three Kingdoms period (refer to the cultural relics unearthed from the tomb of Zhu Ran). Kureori and Kureha are also the origins of Japanese Chinese costumes.

Of course, we also need to clarify two concepts here.

Japanese culture has now formed a gradually independent cultural system, and out of the needs of the original culture, there has been a criticism of the origin of Wu culture since ancient times. In particular, after the popularity of "The Theory of Leaving Asia", it has almost declined under the general trend of de-sinicization, and it is no longer the mainstream theory.

The Kure/Baekje people are not the only source in Japan. In addition to the Jomon people in Japan, the journey to the Central Plains and the Peninsula alone has been repeated many times (this is the content of the subsequent works in this series, and will be mapped between historical and modern genetic biology research, so I will not go into detail here). It is only the Wu people that Baekje has had a more profound influence on the culture of ancient Japan and has also contributed a lot to the composition of the Chinese people in Japan.

Readers who are serious about reading the sketch after reading the article may have a doubt at this time. Since the author calls Baekje one of the northern and southern Buyeo and has a relationship with the Yu clan, but Chinese history clearly remembers the descendants of Wu Tai Bo Naiji, isn't this a contradiction? Don't worry, in the next section, we will talk about the true origin of "Wu Taibo".
