Chapter 27: Chapter 5: Princess Dora (5)

Late at night, in the Changle Palace.

"Old Kong calculated, the thief really appeared on the birthday of the Queen Mother, and led to the detailed work of the response. The Emperor said.

"The old minister used His Majesty and the Queen Mother as bait, which is really a great crime. Kong Fang said.

"Confucius Lao is clever, strategizing, and protecting my Han Society, how can there be any reason for the crime?" The emperor hurriedly returned the salute, and then said angrily, "I think my Han is like a mother to the Yamato family, but he is not so good-hearted that he actually did such a disobedient thing!"

"Your Majesty, during the interrogation of the captured orcs, the old minister learned that they were here to meet the great prince of Yamato, and their leader was Masako Kowada. According to the agreement between Prince Yamato and the daimyos, if the earth-shattering plan devised by Prince Yamato is realized, the daimyo will support him as the new Emperor of Yamato. Qi Guanyan said, "Another important piece of information is that in order to deal with this conspiracy, the northern daimyo led by Prince Yamato have all sent troops to assemble on the west side of the Lion Mountain, the first line of defense of the empire, just waiting for the order of Prince Yamato. ”

"It's really a wolf ambition!" said the emperor angrily, "Although Masako Wada belongs to the same northern daimyo as Prince Yamato, she has always been friendly with our dynasty, and her father is Li Ling, the marquis of my dynasty, after General Fei." Since he was 10 years old, he has been visiting the Choraku Palace in Kyoto every summer and has a great time with his mother. The queen mother felt that her Li Men was loyal and filial to her family, gave her the Chinese name 'Li Ya', ate thousands of households, and held a gold medal, why did she also participate in this matter?"

"Your Majesty didn't know that during the Hundred Years of Cruel War, Li Ling was defeated and captured. Later, it was reported that Li Ling helped Yamato train his troops. When the first emperor heard this, he was furious and razed his three clans, causing them to completely sever relations with the Celestial Empire, settle down on Silkworm Island, and marry the northern daimyo Tarba. Li Ling gave birth to a daughter after marriage, which is Masako Kowada. Later, it was found out that the incident of helping the army and training troops was done by Li Xu, the commander of the Saiwai Prefecture, after he surrendered. Because he was afraid of the former emperor Longwei, he conspired with Li Guangli and others to frame Li Ling. Kong Fang said, "After Li Guangli surrendered to Yamato, he resorted to the above-mentioned poisonous plan to force Li Ling to not return to China, which was favored by the Yamato daimyos. Therefore, the daimyo married Princess Yamato to him. The news reached the Celestial Empire, and the first emperor destroyed his entire clan. Later, because of Li Guangli's actions, he was despised by the northern daimyos, and was soon killed by Wei Lu and the Yan family for a reason. ”

"And where is Li Xu now?" the emperor asked.

"He has been killed by Li Ling," Kong Fang said, "After killing Li Xu, Li Ling was protected by the northern daimyos, and was able to save his life and obtain the title of Baylor, and Masako Owada was canonized as Princess Dora." Lao Chen thought that this was the reason why Masako Owada was involved in this matter. ”

"Masako Owada has a lot of opportunities to start. The Emperor muttered.

"Your Majesty, now that the great prince of Yamato has been ambushed, but the northern daimyo has gathered a large army on the west side of Lion Mountain, how to withdraw the troops is the top priority," Qi Guanyan said, "Judging from what Masako Owada did, it was also a last resort. What's more, she has made a move today, which can be regarded as repaying the grace of the northern daimyo for sheltering her father back then. ”

"What Elder Qi said is extremely true," Kong Fang said, "Xiao Wada Yazi is unwilling to be an enemy of the Celestial Empire, and His Majesty does not need to worry too much. How to meet the enemy is a top priority. ”

"Yamato is menacing, how is it good?" the emperor asked.

"This time, the Yamato army pressed the border, and it seemed that there were thorough preparations, but in fact, it was not. Kong Fang said, "I have received a secret report that the Yamato Legion that came this time only has the Northern Legion, which is consistent with the interrogation of the elders of Qi Guo, which shows that the daimyo in the south and west are still waiting." They are waiting for news from the Yamato Prince, and they will only respond if the Yamato Prince's plan succeeds. ”

"What Confucius said is very true," said the emperor, "I wonder what Confucius has to do?"

"Among the Yamato clans, the Western daimyo were the weakest, and their areas were plagued by typhoons all year round, so they suffered from the backflow of seawater. Coupled with the attrition of the civil war, the Western daimyo were desperate for outside help. Kong Fang said, "Because of this, the southern daimyo are the easiest to win over. In order to survive, they must develop to the south or north. However, if you want to beg for food in the mouths of the daimyo in the south and north, you can't do it without enough strength. Therefore, it was a good idea to fund the Western daimyo so that they could contain the southern and northern daimyos. ”
