Emperor Kogi's pretty face was cold, he looked at Abenomaro and asked, "What do you think, Minister Zuo?"
Abenamaro's old eyes were dim and he seemed to be able to fall asleep at any time. He muttered: "Prince Katsuragi is talented, intelligent and courageous. He will definitely fulfill his mission."
Gao Xiang Xuanli's face changed, and he argued: "The two armies are fighting, why would you send the prince to mediate? This move is really too dangerous, please think again, Your Majesty."
Suga Niruka interjected: "The people of Tang Dynasty are powerful. Prince Katsuragi's visit is just the right time to declare the emperor's importance. He will get twice the result with half the effort."
Gao Xiangxuanli was about to say more, but Emperor Kogoku gently flicked his sleeves, lowered his eyes slightly, and said calmly: "Since the Minister of Internal Affairs and the Minister of the Left both think that Prince Katsuragi is suitable, then let's summon Prince Katsuragi to go...Prince
We are of the Emperor's blood, and it is our duty to guard the Emperor's territory. Even if it is dangerous, how can we retreat despite the difficulties? This matter has been decided, please retreat for the time being."
"yes!"
Gao Xiangxuanli had no choice but to stand up and leave in a hurry to find Nanyuan and others to discuss how to protect Prince Katsuragi...
*****
At the eastern foot of the Asuka River, Hikumaji Temple.
The terrain here is gentle, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and close to the southern gate of Asukakyo. It is the largest settlement place for "people from across the border" except Nanyuan.
As dusk approached, the rain still continued.
The patter of rain wetted the green and yellow vegetation on the hillside, then gathered into streams and merged into the streams, filling up the rivers.
The temple is planted with pines and cypresses all over. Even though it has entered autumn, the rain washes away the dust and reveals a green landscape.
In a Zen room with white walls and black tiles, Nanyuan greeted him, Sengmin, Prince Katsuragi and others were all present...
The light in the Zen room was dim, the windows were closed, and sandalwood was burned.
The hosts were all sitting around on the banquet. Prince Katsuragi gritted his teeth and said, "The traitor Su Ga wants to kill me, and I swear that we will never live together!"
Nanyuan's greetings were still majestic, with a solemn look on his face, and he said in a deep voice: "The ambition of the Soga family has been revealed. This time the prince goes north to Sado Island, it will be difficult and dangerous. Although His Majesty has already issued an edict, he must not
Even if you don’t go, you still have to take precautions and don’t be careless.”
Prince Katsuragi said: "Teacher, don't worry. The student is asked to bring the bodyguards of the palace with him on this trip. Please be more vigilant along the way. You won't dare to act in a big way even if you measure Naso and I. Please don't worry."
Nanyuan nodded slightly, but was still worried.
Gao Xiangxuanli said: "Even if everything is fine this time, Su Wo's determination to enter the deer will definitely be hard to change. It is said that it is easy to hide an open gun and hard to avoid a hidden arrow. Who knows what kind of tricks he will come up with next time to murder His Highness the Prince? In my opinion, no
It would be best if we strike first and uproot the Su Wo clan!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone present was shocked.
Seng Min's snow-white beauty frowned, and he said cautiously: "You must not be careless about this matter. You should consider it in the long run. If you don't have a complete plan, you must not act rashly."
The Soga clan controls the largest army and the largest number of people in the Japanese country. They are rich and powerful. If they fail to eradicate them, there will be endless troubles...
Everyone thought so.
Gao Xiangxuanli said anxiously: "Where in the world can there be a foolproof strategy? The situation is urgent. If Nasu Wo enters the deer and takes the advantage, once the prince is harmed, it will be too late for us to regret it! With the help of this beast, the prince, the eldest brother of the ancients, ascends the throne, and the Japanese military and government
All the power will fall into his hands, and we are afraid that we will not end well!"
Nanyuan asked An to ponder for a while, and then said: "This statement is reasonable, and whether it is calculated mentally or not, it may not be impossible to kill Suga Ruolu. As long as the body of this animal dies, his father Suga Eyi will already be old. Even if the Suga clan
Even if the troops are strong and the horses are strong, I am afraid they will be defeated immediately."
Another person next to him offered advice: "Three days later, it will be the day when the envoys from Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla will come to Asukagyeong to enter the palace to pay tribute. Why don't we ambush a heavy army in the palace in advance and wait until Suwa enters Lushang Palace?"
Kill him in one fell swoop?"
This man is about thirty years old, has a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and is very ugly.
It was Kai Inuyang Katsumaro, the leader of the palace guard.
Many Japanese names are followed by the word "Maro". These two words mainly appear in male names and can also indicate that they are officials. In fact, they have no specific meaning...
Prince Katsuragi said in shock: "How can this be so? The power of a deer is so great that it can bravely defeat the three armies. It can give birth to a tiger and a leopard with the power to carry a cauldron. How easy is it to attack and kill him in the Daichi Palace?"
Looking at the Japanese country, no one dares to ignore the martial arts of Su Ga Rulu. This person is born with extremely strong supernatural powers and has a perverse and violent temperament. Once the attack fails, this person will definitely go crazy, and maybe it will be a tragedy where blood will be splashed in the Daeguk Palace...
Sea Inu Yasumaro said: "I will guard the palace gate and let it take off its sword. No matter how brave this dog is, how can it be our opponent if it is unarmed? At that time, I and several assassins will ambush on both sides.
Head to the side hall, rush out together and kill him, great things can happen!"
Everyone thought about it and felt that although it was dangerous, the chance of success was not small.
As Gao Xiangxuanli said, what is without risk in the world? Compared with the huge profits and profits, a mere risk can be taken for granted...
Prince Katsuragi's confidence was boosted and he couldn't help but gear up, but he remembered something and asked: "Even if the traitor Soga is crowned, thousands of civilians and monks died in the middle of the family. These people must have received no news of the traitor Soga's death.
They will definitely gather to attack the imperial palace, and there will be chaos in the capital. What can be done?"
The Soga family has been in business for more than ten generations and has a profound foundation and powerful strength. Its mansion in Ganqiaoqiu is a mountain city. It is built on the mountain and is extremely strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack. There are also thousands of monks and soldiers at Asuka Temple, who will be angry at that time.
And if troops are raised to avenge Su Ga, Asuka Beijing will surely suffer from chaos. Maybe they will be invaded into the palace if they are not careful. That would be a tragedy...
Nanyuan asked An and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry about this matter. We only need to kill Su Wo into the deer and send it to the Daji Hall. It's done over there. As for the Su Wo clan's tribesmen, monks and soldiers, leave it to me to deal with them."
Although everyone didn't know what method he used to deal with the loyal monks and soldiers of the Suga clan, Nanyuan asked An Su to be stable and wise. If he was not sure, he would not dare to say such affirmative words. Therefore, everyone nodded, and they were excited.
!
Gao Xiangxuanli said: "Although His Majesty issued an edict and ordered the prince to go north to Sado to mediate with the Tang people, it is not appropriate to leave the capital at this time. We will hide for now. After three days, the situation will be decided. It will not be too late to discuss how to deal with the Tang people.
"
Everyone nodded together.
At this time, Prince Katsuragi must never leave Asukakyo...
Prince Katsuragi said: "Then I will hide in this Hinokuma Temple for two days. After three days, we will enter the palace together, lay down a dragnet, kill the traitor Soga, help the emperor's bloodline, and revitalize Yamato!"
"Revitalize Yamato!"
"Revitalize Yamato!"
A suppressed shout resounded in the Zen room, deafening, but was blocked by the patter of rain outside. Unexpectedly, it spread out and was heard by others...
The people present here are all knowledgeable people from the Japanese country. They have gathered the royal family, ministers, scholars, and military generals. They have vowed to overthrow the tyrannical rule of the Soga family, bring the supreme imperial power under the control of the emperor, promote reforms, and abolish the corrupt system of the past.
Learn everything from Datang.
These people all believe that once they seize power, they will lead the Japanese country to a prosperous and prosperous road. In time, they will be able to compete with the tyrannical Tang Dynasty!
*****
Just as the autumn rain was pouring in Asukakyo, and a group of ambitious people were full of ambitions and trying to seize the supreme power of the Japanese country, the Mutsu Kingdom far away at the northernmost tip of Honshu Island was also shrouded in continuous rain.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, the wind and waves were surging along the long coastline, and countless dilapidated boats rode the wind and waves to reach the gentle beach...
When the ship ran aground, countless soldiers wearing leather armor immediately poured out from both sides of the ship. They jumped into the waist-deep water with high morale, brandished the sharp weapons in their hands, gritted their teeth and exerted all their strength, and rushed towards the shore.
rushed away.
They knew that elite Japanese soldiers were stationed at Hachiman Shrine not far from the shore, but they were fearless!
Because they know better that just behind Hachiman Shrine are endless fields, fertile soil and abundant rivers, which breed countless grains and have fed generations of Ezo people! However, the greedy and cruel Japanese will
They were driven out from their homes where their ancestors had lived for generations and had to survive on the ice-covered Ezo Island...
Now they are back!
They have the best armor and the sharpest weapons. They are born hunters, and their bones have the courage to fight tigers and wolves for generations, even though the number of young and strong people in the tribe is no longer one-tenth of what it used to be.
, but they still believe that their power, with their powerful weapons and equipment, is enough to crush all the Japanese into pieces!
"kill!"
The young samurai at the front raised his horizontal sword high, and the sharp tip of the sword was pointing towards the Hachiman Shrine on the hill!
"kill!"
Countless Ezo people, young and strong, with red eyes, spread their legs and rushed towards the hills!
This is a homeland that has been away for a hundred years. Generations of Ezo people look across the sea with tears in their eyes, dreaming all the time of being able to return to their homeland one day!
This is the home of the Ezo people. Long grass covers the tombs of their ancestors. The once fertile land has become barren and requires countless blood to irrigate the rivers and wash away the humiliation!
Either the blood of the Japanese or the blood of the Ezo people!
