Hearing the tide of killing cries and howls coming from outside, the expressions of Nakatomi Kamazu, Saeko Maro, and even the already pale-faced Prince Katsuragi all changed again and again!
The main entrance of the palace was breached so quickly...
Nakatomi Kamazoku was so angry that he didn't know what to say. There were so many imperial troops, all elites of the Japanese army. How could they not even be able to stop a group of soldiers from the Soga clan?
He was angry and anxious, stamped his feet and shouted: "Everyone, come together, kill Su Wo Ru Lu first!"
At this critical moment, even the life of Emperor Kogi is not a concern!
Emperor Kogi's death here would certainly put Prince Katsuragi at a disadvantage, but if he couldn't kill Soga Nirika and then defeat the Soga clan's soldiers to save the day, he and Prince Katsuragi would have no choice but to die and be destroyed.
What situation is favorable or unfavorable?
You must have your destiny before you can plan for the throne of the emperor...
Prince Katsuragi was also a heroic figure. At this moment, he gritted his teeth and could no longer care about the life and death of his mother, Emperor Kogi. He endured the severe pain and said loudly: "Whoever kills the traitor Soga will be promoted to the third level and will be given ten thousand liang of gold!"
He thought that there must be a brave man under the heavy reward, but these people in the palace are too shrewd, and everyone will weigh the situation. Even though such a heavy reward can make people excited, you must first eliminate the Soga clan and seize the power of the emperor.
Now that the Soga clan's soldiers have entered the palace, it's hard to say who will win and who will lose. If Soga clan is killed now and the Soga clan wins a complete victory later, it will be a tragedy...
Of course, not everyone has a plan, and there are still a few who are loyal and die.
The few who followed Prince Katsuragi into the palace were the dead men he raised. They had no regard for fame, fortune, and wealth. As long as it was an order from Prince Katsuragi, they must be carried out at the risk of their lives!
Including Maro Saeko who had just slashed Soga Nirika with a sword...
When the dead soldiers and Saeko Maro heard this, they immediately raised their weapons and rushed forward to kill Souga Niruka.
Emperor Kogi was horrified and screamed: "Get back, everyone, do you want to kill me? You treacherous officials and traitors, ah ah... don't come here, he will kill me...
…”
However, how could Saeko Maro and others listen to him?
They all just identified Prince Katsuragi. Now they can only save Prince Katsuragi and they can survive by killing Soga Nirika and then repelling Soga's soldiers!
As for Emperor Kogoku?
Anyway, it won't be long before this cousin has to abdicate and give up the throne to Prince Katsuragi. It would save trouble if he died early...
Saekikomaro became furious, ignoring Emperor Kogoku's threats and pleas, and rushed forward. Not only did he not kill Souga first, but he stabbed the sword into Emperor Kogoku's plump chest, and the long knife came out through his body.
Before the remaining power stopped, the tip of the knife came out from the back of Queen Huangjitian, and once again plunged into the deer's left chest, who was caught off guard.
Soga Niruka let out a wild roar, and kicked Emperor Kogoku flying out, hitting Saeko Maro. Saeko Maro staggered back, almost falling to the ground, and the long sword followed Soga Nirika's left hand.
Pull out the chest and bring out a pool of blood...
This knife hit Su Wo Ruo Lu's heart. Even though Su Wo Ruo Lu was brave and powerful, all his strength poured out in an instant along with the gushing blood, and he slowly fell to the ground, his eyes staring unwillingly at the distance.
Saeko Maro slowly lost his temper.
Saeko Maro's sword killed two of the most powerful people in Japan...
Not far away, Soga Ishikawa Maro watched helplessly as Soga Iruka was killed on the spot. His eyelids twitched, he closed his mouth tightly, biting his lips to draw blood, and said nothing.
But before, it was the Soga Ezo clan who tried to dig their own graves to preserve the continuation of the Soga family. Now it is very likely that the Soga and Ishikawa Maro clan will be buried with Prince Katsuragi...
But no matter what, he must stand on the side of Prince Katsuragi, because no one knows who the final winner will be, and the Soga family must ensure that someone is on the side of the winner!
For family inheritance, no risk can be taken...
At this moment, Soga Ishikawa Maro's heart actually arose the desire to be willing to die even if all of his own team died, because that meant that Soga Ezo would win a complete victory against the enemy, and might even go one step further.
Becoming the first Japanese emperor who is not of the bloodline of the emperor since ancient times!
If you think about it this way, even if you die, you will die well.
My heart suddenly felt relieved, and the trace of tragedy disappeared without a trace. Instead, I was filled with infinite expectations...
*****
The heavy rain became heavier and heavier, and the rain washed the pines and cypresses in Asuka Temple, making them look green and green, without any sense of autumn desolation.
Rainwater flows down the eaves and pours into lines.
Wang Xuance stood at the window, looking at the monks and soldiers rushing back and forth in the temple, with a solemn expression.
Since midnight last night, the temple has been noisy with people and groups. Groups of monks and soldiers have begun to gather to guard the various entrances of the temple. There are also outsiders coming and going from time to time, as if they are constantly conveying some news...
What happened?
Wang Xuance knew nothing.
Although Soga Ezo did not send anyone to restrict his actions, looking at such a heated situation, Wang Xuance felt it was better not to interfere. After all, his identity was somewhat sensitive. The Navy was still occupying Sado Island, but he came here.
If someone loyal to the imperial family sees the temple where Soga Ezo lives, it will inevitably lead to troubles.
His mission is to drive a wedge between the Soga family and the Emperor. It is best to instigate him to rebel, rather than subjecting him to the Emperor's suspicion and suppression when the situation is not yet mature...
However, the increasingly solemn atmosphere made Wang Xuance secretly anxious.
There were footsteps at the door.
A person walked quickly from outside the door, took off his raincoat, came to Wang Xuance, and whispered: "Your Excellency, I heard what you asked me to inquire about..."
This person's tone of voice is stiff and his pronunciation is not accurate. He is not Han Chinese.
Instead, he was a diplomat left by Jin Famin who was proficient in Chinese and Japanese, and was familiar with the situation in Japan, so that he could help Wang Xuance handle emergency affairs.
But now it is just in use...
Wang Xuance looked away from the window and asked, "What happened in the temple?"
The man said: "Not only did Asuka Temple feel like it was facing a formidable enemy, there were also groups of soldiers and civilians of the Suga clan who retreated from the fields and manors to Ganqiao Hill with great momentum."
Wang Xuance frowned: "Where is Ganqiaoqiu?"
He indeed knew very little about the situation in Japan...
The man said: "Ganqiao Qiu is the residence of the Su Wo family. The entire residence is built like a mountain city. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack."
Wang Xuance's heart skipped a beat!
Today is the day when the three Koreas pay tribute to the Japanese dynasty. At this moment, all the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are in Bangae Palace, and the entire Asukakyo will inevitably be heavily guarded. However, at this time, the Soga clan began to deploy heavy troops to guard the mountain city. The monks and soldiers of Asukasa Temple
Assemble and prepare...
What happened behind the scenes?
Wang Xuance had no way of guessing, but he knew that the Su Wo family must have conflicted with someone!
Or it is the old nobles in the court, such as the dormant Mononobe clan; or it is the middle class who are deeply influenced by the Han people who hold power, such as Nakatomi Kamazu and others headed by Prince Katsuragi; it is even possible that they have the supremacy
The status of the emperor...
No matter which one it is, it means that the scale of the conflict cannot be small. Otherwise, why would the Suga family, which has so much power in the ruling and opposition parties, be so grand and mobilize troops?
Wang Xuance licked his lips, feeling as if he had found a God-given opportunity...
The task Fang Jun gave him was to make good friends with the Su Wo family and try to make the Su Wo family feel the support of Tang Jun so that they could be more confident, bolder and crazier when making any decisions! Of course, according to Fang Jun
The idea is that when the Ezo people's locusts from the north cross the border and attack the city and plunder the land, they reach Asukakyo and launch an unparalleled oppression on the Japanese court. The nail planted in Soga's heart will become prominent.
But now, Wang Xuance suddenly felt that maybe this time could be moved forward a little...
No matter who the Suga clan conflicts with, they must be equally matched opponents. If the two sides not only engage in a verbal exchange and then stop fighting, but also engage in a real battle with real swords and guns, they will definitely have a negative impact on them.
The Japanese government caused great turmoil.
The system of the Japanese country was already lax and disorganized, and it could not move from the center to the local areas like the Tang Dynasty. Once the political situation was in turmoil, the entire Japanese country would inevitably fall into turmoil.
Isn't this the kind of opportunity Fang Jun wants?
Now, before the Ezo people have stirred up trouble, the Japanese themselves have made the situation chaotic. God help me...
If he didn't do something at this time, but just stayed in the room watching the show, Wang Xuance felt that he would definitely regret missing such a God-given opportunity in the future. He made a prompt decision and asked people to prepare raincoats, opened the door and walked into the heavy rain.
