Chapter 1807: If you don’t serve yourself, you will be destroyed by heaven and earth.
Suama Lishi pondered for a moment and asked: "Since the old master of the family has refused, I am afraid that I am powerless. I am afraid that my efforts will be in vain."
Wang Xuance was not discouraged and said: "I would like to say one more thing. Now that Japan is about to collapse, our family is in the center of the whirlpool. Whether we like it or not, we will be the target of public criticism. At this time, we need the help of our friends. Mr.
Why did you refuse so lightly?"
Suama Lishi picked up the tea cup in his hand, but did not drink it. Instead, he considered it for a long time and said: "Then you might as well tell me how much help the Huating Marquis can give to the Suwa family?"
When Wang Xuance saw that there was something going on, he didn't follow him in circles at all, and went straight to the point, saying: "My Marquis is in charge of the Shipping Department of Huating Town in the Tang Dynasty, and all the overseas trade of the Tang Dynasty is in his hands. If our family cooperates with the Marquis, the benefits will be
, I guess there’s no need to go into details below, right?”
The Japanese country was poor and its commerce was backward, but because of this, all the families paid more attention to commerce, because compared to cultivating land and collecting rent, the profit of commercial goods was far more than ten times and a hundred times!
It can be said that whoever climbs the big tree of Fang Jun holds the key to wealth...
And wealth is precisely the cornerstone of power and force.
Having said this, Suama Lishi was indeed moved, but he still shook his head and refused: "I am about to die, and the power in the clan has been left for many years. You should go and tell the old family master these things, but it is better to say it to me.
useless."
Wang Xuance chuckled lightly, sat across from Suwamo Lishi, looked at him with bright eyes, and said softly: "A person lives a lifetime, where does the so-called come from? Some people spend their lives wandering in the rivers and lakes with swords, some study hard to study righteousness, and some play music and songs.
Yan Wu indulges in pleasure... But in the final analysis, isn't it better to stay for one generation and find a wife? To carve out a country for the children and grandchildren, leave a family business, and during the holidays, the descendants will enjoy the benefits of their ancestors.
Yu Ze, if you can respectfully kowtow in front of the grave and stick incense on your head, remember that today's wealth and happiness are all thanks to this ancestor..."
At this point, he paused, leaned forward slightly, looked at Suga's posture, and said: "If the Suga family continues like this, future generations will remember Suga Mazi who cleared the world and revitalized the family business.
I remember Soga Ezo who held the sword in his hand and turned the tide, and even remember Soga Iruka who was brave and brave enough to die without hesitation... But who remembers you?"
Sumo Lishi drank the tea slowly, with no expression on his face. He didn't hear a word of what Buddha King Xuance said, let alone paid attention to it.
However, his sluggish movements revealed his inner shock...
Wang Xuance struck while the iron was hot: "I am indifferent to Qingning, but will the same be true for your children and grandchildren? Even if it is like this now, will it remain like this for the rest of their lives?"
Sumarishi put the tea cup on the table.
These few words penetrated deeply into his heart...
He never thought that he was incompetent, but he was just unlucky. First, his brother Soga Mazi shone brightly, and then his nephew Soga Ezo was the mainstay. One after another, all his talents were covered up, and no one in the world could try to cover up his talents.
Keep your eyes on him.
However, he has never belittled himself. If it were not for Soga Mazi and Soga Ezo, he is confident that he could have led the Soga family to where it is today!
Such is our fate, but we can only sigh with regret...
But as Wang Xuance said, when a man dies he leaves his name, and when a leopard dies he leaves his skin, what will he leave behind a hundred years later?
Nothing.
The world only knows that the Soga family has Soga Mazi Chanmei in front of him, and Soga Ezo as the successor. Who knows that there is another person like Soga Ma Lishi?
He wanted to leave his name on the bluestone, and he also wanted to be famous for generations, so that future generations would remember that there was an ancestor like him...
What is particularly important is that Soga entered the deer, Soga Ishikawa Maro died in the Daigokuden, and Soga Ezo's descendants were cut off, so he was unwilling to take further risks to seize supreme power, but his Soga Rise branch was
There are many descendants and the population is prosperous!
Even if I live my life in an ordinary way, with such a God-given opportunity in front of me, why can't I give it to my descendants?
Think about it, once you can hold the throne of the emperor in your hands, a hundred years later, all your descendants will be called emperors, and your spiritual throne will be placed in the ancestral temple, and you will be able to bear the sacrifice of incense and blood for hundreds of years...
Sumo Lishi's mood was shaken and he couldn't suppress it.
"What do you want?"
He looked at Wang Xuance and asked.
If there is no benefit, why should the Tang people help themselves?
He must understand the requirements of the Tang Dynasty and see if he can bear it. Otherwise, even if the current opportunity is enough for him to change his dynasty, he will give up without hesitation.
Wang Xuance tried his best to suppress the ecstasy in his heart, and calmly raised two fingers and said: "First, we want Sado Island, and second, we want Japan's maritime trade monopoly!"
Sumo Lishi nodded slowly, these two demands were not too much.
Sado Island has been occupied by the Tang navy. Regardless of whether they agree or not, the Tang people will not evacuate easily. If the Tang army does not leave on its own, the Japanese will not be able to expel it. As for monopolizing the Japanese sea trade, it is not a problem. Now it is the largest in the world.
The largest maritime trade country was the Tang Dynasty. Compared with it, countries such as Silla, Baekje, and Goguryeo were not worth mentioning. Even if the maritime trade of Japan was monopolized by the Tang Dynasty, it would not matter.
As for the Tang people who greatly increased the prices of goods in order to obtain huge profits... the worst thing is that the Japanese country did not buy the things of the Tang people. Ninety-nine percent of the Japanese countries were farmers. They could be self-sufficient even if they completely cut off sea trade, and they could not suffer from commercial problems.
The hijacking of the Tang Dynasty.
However, this matter was indeed important. Although he was moved, he was unable to make a decision for the moment.
Sumo said cautiously: "Let me think about it for a while. I might as well stay in the house for two days and then give you an answer."
Wang Xuance said: "That's the case, I'm not in a hurry, but my senior also knows that this kind of opportunity only comes once in a thousand years. If I miss it, I'm afraid I will regret it for the rest of my life... As long as my senior makes a decision, my fleet in Nambazu
There are still hundreds of elite soldiers, enough to help senior get to that position. Then I will say goodbye first and senior will think about it carefully."
After saying this, he nodded, stood up, and walked out of the room with Jin Famin.
Haste makes waste, and you cannot put too much pressure on Suama, otherwise it will easily have the opposite effect.
However, he believed that Soga Ezo would make a wise decision. No one could be indifferent to that position. If Soga Ezo had not cut off his heirs, he would probably not refuse his proposal...
He waved his servants to follow him to arrange the accommodation for Wang Xuance and the two of them, and told him not to wait any longer. Then Suamalishi knelt down in the room, frowning and weighing the pros and cons.
The sky was getting dark, the heavy rain didn't stop for a moment, and the humidity inside the house was heavy.
After a while, his son Sumata came in a hurry. Because of the heavy rain, he was walking in a hurry, and the hem of his clothes was already soaked. However, he didn't care about it, and went to kneel down in front of Sumama, leaning his upper body forward.
, asked quickly: "Father, now is a good opportunity for our family to take a further step forward. Why don't you advise my eldest brother to usurp it and create a foundation that our family will never change?"
The "eldest brother" in his mouth is naturally Soga Ezo...
Sumamarishi frowned and said nothing.
Suga Mingta was very impatient and kept persuading him. In his opinion, as long as he was more ruthless, it was entirely possible for the Suga family to ascend to the throne of emperor. In this way, all the children of the Suga family would become nobles in the sky, and the Japanese country would be free from the consequences.
How comfortable is it to have your own control?
Sumo Lishi was silent for a long time, then he raised his head and said, "Go and see if there is anyone outside the door. Arrange two confidants to prevent anyone else from approaching."
"yes."
Mingta Suga knew that this was an important matter, so she quickly got up and went to the door, placing the two servants she had brought with her outside the door, and not allowing anyone to approach.
After returning to the house, Suamalishi told the story one by one...
Hearing that Soga Eni categorically rejected his father's advice to further usurp the throne, Soga Meita sighed and was depressed. When he heard that the Tang Dynasty came to the door and wanted to form an alliance to help the Soga family plot to usurp the throne and take charge of the Japanese country's Tianxian, Suga
I was so excited that I almost jumped!
I just wanted to be a wealthy nobleman waiting to die, but God actually gave me a chance to become an emperor...
"Father, why should you hesitate? With the force of the Tang Dynasty combined with the power of our family, looking at the Japanese country, who can be the enemy? Such a God-given opportunity must not be let go!"
Sumama Lishi looked at his son who was so excited that his eyes were red, he hesitated and said: "But even so, how can you convince your eldest brother? He is the old patriarch, and his prestige is not second to anyone in the clan.
Being a father is too far behind, I'm afraid no one can compare with me..."
Suga Mingtai slapped his thigh and said: "Father is ridiculous! If it were normal, my father would naturally not be able to compete with his eldest brother. However, he went so far as to usurp the good opportunity to establish the family's imperial hegemony. Who in the family would not be blushing, and who would not want Suga's family?
Replace it with the royal family? In the final analysis, whoever can bring greater benefits to everyone will be listened to!"
