Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1791 Tang people are fierce, avoid their edge
Great Hall.

The Japanese admired the Han people. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, they have all regarded the Han people’s Chinese clothes as beautiful, respected the Han people’s articles as the classics, and imitated the Han people in terms of basic necessities, food, housing, transportation, etiquette and writing. Buy, those who get it will be proud and envious of others...

This is even more so in Asuka, from the palaces and temples to the city gates and regulations, could it be that they imitated Chang'an.

It can be seen from the name of "Daji Temple" that in the eyes of the Japanese, the culture of the Han family is nothing more than the flesh and blood left by the ancient gods...

Inside the Daji Hall with five doors open, all the furnishings are imitated from the Taiji Hall described by monks and scholars who went to Chang'an in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Bronze beast furnaces are placed at the four corners, with sandalwood burning, and the flat floor is radiant. The damp cold air flows through the temple, which makes people feel refreshed.

Emperor Huangji sat on the imperial steps in a brocade phoenix robe, with a pretty face cold and expressionless, and Su Worulu, dressed in Tang Dynasty-style straight embroidered robes with large sleeves, knelt down with a sullen face and put his hands on his shoulders. On his lap, his eyes were slightly closed, as if he had fallen asleep.

The two were relatively silent. The tenderness in the harem just now seemed to have been washed away by the drizzle, and the warmth was cut off in a blink of an eye, and they were speechless.

very weird...

The autumn rain has been raining for a long time, not only has it not weakened in the slightest, but it has gradually increased.

A piece of the palace is covered in the autumn rain, the distant mountains are like Daisy, and the eyes are blue and yellow.

After half an hour, the two old men arrived at the Great Pole Hall...

The former was over [-] years old, with a dry and thin body, his face was covered with wrinkles and dense age spots, and his footsteps were trembling, as if he could be blown down by a gust of wind at any time.The other person was younger, but also old-fashioned, with a pair of triangular eyes flickering between opening and closing.

"Old minister Abenemaro, see Your Majesty."

"Veteran Xiang Xuanli, see Your Majesty..."

The two elders saluted one after another. A gentle smile appeared on Emperor Huangji's icy pretty face. He raised his slender hand, gestured slightly, and said softly: "Both of you are meritorious deeds of Yamato. Why do you need to be so courteous? We are urgently recruiting you into the palace today. I really have something big to discuss with you all, so please take your seat quickly."

"Yes……"

The two old men took their seats one after another, and they all knelt and sat opposite to Su Worulu.

Su Garulu nodded slightly, Gao Xiangxuan responded with a smile, Abenaimaro lowered his eyelids, turning a blind eye to Sugarulu's greeting...

Suga jumped in Shika's eyelids, gave Abenemaro a hard look, and ignored him.

Gao Xiangxuanli faced Emperor Huangji, and said in a respectful voice, "I don't know what important business your Majesty has to discuss in urgently recruiting us into the palace?"

Emperor Huangji sighed softly, and took out the secret performance that Abebirov had sent to Beijing in a hurry, and a palace attendant who stood beside him stepped forward to take it, and passed it to Gao Xiangxuanli.

Three people circulated separately.

After that, they all frowned and fell silent...

The Tang Army navy actually forcibly occupied Sado Island?
This is a major matter, and if it is handled carelessly, it will be extremely bad. No one dares to speak rashly, and a decision must be made after careful consideration.

Emperor Huangji naturally knew the seriousness of the matter, so he did not urge him. He ordered the palace servants to serve fragrant tea to the three ministers, and then sat quietly on the imperial steps, his pair of phoenix eyes kept sweeping over the faces of the three ministers... …

Cold as frost.

The three ministers drank tea, meditating on each other, considering the shock brought by the letter.

The letter said that the reason why the Datang navy occupied Sado Island was because some Tang people were enslaved by the soldiers on the island, forced to go down to the mine to mine ore, and were tortured and killed for this.The sailors of the Tang army went north to Guiguo to submit the letter of credence to the emperor of Tang Dynasty, and when they arrived at Sado Island, there was a riot among the Ainu people on the island. occupy.

Regarding the facts described in the letter, the three ministers felt that they should be the truth of the facts.

Sado is desolate, the isolated islands are not very populated, and there are two mountain ranges, one in the south and one in the north, and there is only a little fertile land between the two mountains in the middle, which will not cause the Tang army to arouse the greed of expanding the territory.As for the silver mines on the island... To be honest, not to mention the mighty Tang Dynasty, even the nobles of the Wa Kingdom have never paid attention to it.

The people who mined on the island were just a few idle stewards sent by some nobles to gather some craftsmen to do it at will. Silver is not like gold and copper, it is not currency, and it is not considered a valuable thing. It is just used to make some utensils and jewelry. No one paid attention to other exquisite utensils.

It is precisely because of this that the number of slaves and tribesmen sent by the nobles to mine on the island is extremely limited, and the guards of the Yue Kingdom on the island are also pitifully few, which leads to the occasional looting by the officials and stewards of the silver mines on the island. Passing merchants, and arresting and enslaving Ainu people to serve as miners...

That is to say, it seems unreasonable for the Tang army to capture Sado Island, but in fact it was indeed the fault of the Japanese side.

The truth is not on my side, and the Tang army is coming aggressively again, but Sado Island is one of the eight islands of the Wa Kingdom, a land bestowed by gods, and must not be ceded... This is difficult.

Gao Xiangxuan stroked his beard and said with a frown: "The Tang army is overbearing, and the compensation of several million guan is simply unimaginable, but in my opinion, it must be the lion's mouth, so you might as well send someone to mediate and negotiate with him, and pay a little bit of compensation. What the people of Tang want is only face, if there is a step down, it is expected that they will not be relentless."

Before Emperor Huangji could speak, Su Worui stared and shouted: "It's ridiculous! Tang people are arrogant and domineering. If they just give in, they will surely make progress. Then what will be the majesty of our Japanese country? The right minister keeps saying that he will pay compensation. Could it be that he wants to show up in front of Tang people? Showing merit, trying to return to the ancestral court, will it fail to recognize the ancestors and return to the clan?"

Gao Xiangxuan was so angry that his beard was upturned, and he glared at each other: "Minister, don't spit blood! Although I have Han blood, I lived in Liaodong at the beginning, and now it is the territory of Goguryeo. Is it possible that the minister wants me to go to Goguryeo? It has been 300 years since the ancestor crossed the sea and came to the Wa Kingdom. He has thrived here, and has he ever had a different intention? If according to the Minister of Internal Affairs, the hundreds of thousands of "crossing people" from the Wa Kingdom are all in Cao Ying and their hearts are in Han? This is absolutely unacceptable !"

Among the ruling class of the Wa Kingdom, although the "Dulai people" had never become nobles, they were educated, skilled, and capable, and they were the backbone.Once Su Worulu's words are spread, what do you make the descendants of those "dulai people" think?
In a blink of an eye there will be political ups and downs...

Emperor Huangji frowned beautifully, and said in a clear voice: "Minister, please be careful."

Su Wolu also knew that his words were a little too much, so he snorted and was noncommittal.

Emperor Koji looked at Abenai Maro who had been silent all this time, and said helplessly, "Minister Zuo, what do you think?"

The three people in front of them are the backbone of the imperial court, but they belong to their respective forces, and they usually fight openly and covertly, refusing to give in to each other.

The Minister of the Interior, Su Wo, went to support the eldest brother of the ancient prince, the Minister of the Right, Gao Xiangxuanli, Nanyuan Qingan and others, had always been a staunch supporter of Prince Katsuragi, and the seemingly old Minister of the Left, Abe Naimaro, was his most loyal team...

In a small Japanese country, everyone has their own scheming in the temple, leading to a disorganized political situation. If one day the Tang Dynasty really crosses the sea to attack, and everyone has their own plans for their own affairs, wouldn't it mean that the country will die soon?

Abe Naimaro seemed old-eyed and dizzy, tremblingly said: "Your Majesty knows that the Tang people are strong, and their navy is even more fierce. The blood of the pirates on the East China Sea has stained the sea red, and they have slaughtered countless people in Linyi. According to the humble opinion of the old minister, we should avoid them." Sharpness is the best policy."

Su Wo said angrily: "The Tang people have already bullied us to the door. If we just endure it, we can't say that the Tang people's navy will come to Nanbatsu tomorrow. At that time, will you still say such nonsense?"

Nambatsu is Osaka, and it is the gateway to Asuko-kyo. If you land from Nambatsu, you can drive directly to Asuko-kyo.Although there are many hills around Asuka, such as Wufeng, Ganxiqiu, and Asuka River, there is no absolute mountain that can stop the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. Once the surrounding hills are breached, Asuka built on the plain will be destroyed. Like a young girl whose clothes are torn apart, she can take whatever she wants...

Abenaimaro closed his eyes slightly, and said lightly, "Now that the people of Tang have caught us, if we can save money and eliminate disasters, why bother to fight each other?"

Su Woruo shook his head and said, "I'm afraid the Tang people won't make concessions. The treasury can't afford the millions."

Abe Naimaro disagreed: "I haven't talked about it, so how do the ministers know that we can't agree?"

Su Woruo shut up and remained silent.

He is unparalleled in bravery, but his wisdom and strategy are far behind his father Soga Ezo. This kind of verbal dispute is not the opponent of the old and cunning Abenai Maro...

Gao Xiangxuanli did not speak, it seems that he did not intend to refute Abenemaro's statement.

Emperor Huangji nodded slightly, and said: "In this case, then send someone to talk to the Tang people first, but I don't know who to send there?"

Su Wo walked into the deer and said, "In my opinion, Prince Katsushiro is distinguished and resourceful, and he is really the best candidate to go to Sado to negotiate with the Tang people."

Gao Xiangxuan was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "How can this be so? Prince Katsuragi is of the blood of the emperor, and the people of Tang Dynasty are tyrannical. What if he kills him suddenly, what should we do!"

This Su Wolulu is really vicious, if Prince Katsuragi goes to Sado, even if the Tang people don't kill him, he probably won't be able to escape the assassination of Suga's slain men...
