Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1804
The outside of Su Wo Eizo's meditation room was heavily guarded, and two rows of bald monks lined up neatly under the eaves, standing upright like javelins.

Since the Soga clan defeated the Monobe clan and won the "Battle of Faith", Buddhism has developed rapidly in Japan under the vigorous promotion of the Soga clan. Except for some nobles who still believe in local gods, all the people believe in Buddhism. Even among the nobles, there are mixed beliefs. They both believe in Buddhism and don't want to lose the god religion passed down from their ancestors, making it nondescript...

Buddhist temples are spread all over the country.

In Asuka Kyoto alone, there are more than [-] Buddhist temples, among which there are as many as six or seven large-scale Buddhist temples. , Buddhist pagodas are everywhere, and incense is lingering.

Correspondingly, the number of monks also increased suddenly.

Many refugees who lost their land were struggling to make ends meet, and they did not want to be attached to aristocratic families and become slaves of the tribesmen, so they simply defected to temples and married as monks.Most of the temples in the Wa country were built by various powerful families, so many young and strong people came here, so it is natural to arm them and act as thugs.

Therefore, the total number of monks and soldiers in Asuka Jingzhong Book as a temple is no less than ten thousand...

These monks and soldiers are all young and strong, and they have been trained. Whether they eat food or not, the quality of individual soldiers is definitely not inferior to that of the army, or even surpassed. They are an armed force that cannot be ignored by various wealthy families.

In fact, it was the same in the Tang Dynasty. During the turbulent years of the late Sui Dynasty and early Tang Dynasty, most monasteries took in the young and strong and organized them to act as armed forces to protect the monasteries from being harassed by refugees and bandits...

When Wang Xuance walked to the door, he was stopped by two short but muscular monks. He turned his head slightly, and the interpreter behind him followed up, explaining the situation to the two monks, saying that he was an envoy from the Tang Dynasty and wanted to see him. Su I Ezo, I have important matters to discuss.

As soon as they heard that it was the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, the two monks and soldiers did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly went inside to report.

Not long after, they came out and respectfully invited Wang Xuance to enter...

Wang Xuance walked in, took off his coir raincoat at the entrance, and his own monks hung it on the hanger, and then led Wang Xuance into the meditation room.

Su Wo Eizin was sitting on his knees behind a table, paying attention to what was written on the bamboo paper. When he heard the sound of footsteps, he raised his head and saw that it was Wang Xuance. Just a little bit, the old man will be fine soon."

Wang Xuance stepped forward to salute, then knelt and sat on one side.

The servant offered the tea, Wang Xuance nodded his thanks, took it with both hands, put it on the low table beside him, and watched Suga write the letter.

After a while, Suga Eizo put away his pen, picked up the letter paper, gently dried the ink on it, then got up, handed it to a monk soldier beside him, and said: "Enter Beijing immediately and deliver it to uncle. delay."

The monk soldier took the letter with both hands, then turned and left the room, disappearing into the rain outside the door...

Only then did Su Wo straighten his back, looked at Wang Xuance and smiled and said, "The mountain temple is simple, do you still have the habit of living here?"

He also had a little understanding of Wang Xuance, and knew that this was a descendant of the Yang family of Huayin. The Yang family of Huayin came down from the Han Dynasty. I don't know how many times stronger...

At present, the situation must be friendly with the Han people, at least not conflicts, so the son of the aristocratic family in front of him must be the object of win over.

Wang Xuance respectfully said: "Thank you senior for your concern, everything is very good. When I was in Chang'an, I also lived in the monastery, and I really like the quietness of the mountain temple, as if floating in the dust, but I have never heard of the temples in your country, but I am dying in the bustling market. "

Su Wo's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Your honored guest is joking... Buddhism is pure and has nothing to do with the world, but in the end, people who practice Buddhism are just ordinary people. The troubles of the secular world. But isn’t this the original intention of our wholehearted cultivation of Buddhism, meditation and enlightenment?”

Wang Xuance saw that Su Wo was avoiding the most important and neglecting the important, and didn't even mention the gathering of monks and soldiers in the temple. He rolled his eyes and said tentatively: "Your temper is not like yours. Buddhism is deserted. It's too restrained. I prefer the heat of the mortal world and the secular world." It was noisy, the monks and soldiers in the temple were bustling and bustling last night, the younger generation became curious, and the seniors laughed because they didn't sleep well all night."

Suga Ezo pondered for a while.

Right now, this kid is really annoying. He has already told you not to meddle in his own business, but he still wants to get to the bottom of it...

I don't want to say anything, but I'm afraid of offending this person. The current situation in Beijing is complicated and confusing. No one knows who will win and who will lose in the end, who will live and who will die. , a big loss.

Furthermore, since this person is from Tang Dynasty, even if you tell him the details of Beijing, it will not be a problem if you think about it.

Conspiracy, rebellion, remonstrance... which country has not experienced it?
It may not be the person who lost the Wa Kingdom, but now the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty flew straight into the sky with a mutiny...

Thinking of this, Su Wo pretended to be emotional, and said: "This is a matter of the Wa country, and it is also a matter of Su Wo's family. I didn't want to be rude to the eyes and ears of the distinguished guests. Since the distinguished guests are interested, the old man might as well tell you. ..."

Then he sighed and said: "The Suga family has been loyal to the imperial family for generations, and has repeatedly served as the guardian of the sky. It is willing to be the emperor's eagle dog, and the descendants will follow it. It's just that His Majesty the Emperor is bewitched by a traitor, and he has a deep prejudice against the Suga family. It is not good for my son, and even wants to wipe out the blood priest of my Suga clan... My family has no choice but to send troops into the palace to get rid of the treacherous people around the emperor!"

Wang Xuance's heart was beating wildly...

motherfucker!

Really started fighting?
God help me too!

He immediately said solemnly: "Before this junior came here, my Lord Marquis told you more than once that you must see senior, express his respect for senior, and make a promise to you that as long as senior needs you, Lord Hou will do his best to help! The emperor of your country is stupid, and the seniors are loyal to the country. It is their duty to punish traitors and sycophants and help the court, but I don’t know if there is anything that can help? Please tell me, seniors. You're welcome."

Suga Ezo stroked his beard with a depressed expression on his face.

I've seen people who push back when things come to an end, I've seen people who betray their promises and avoid disadvantages, but I've never seen someone who is so eager to help others...

Now even he himself doesn't have the confidence to determine the world, but why does the Tang people have such confidence in him?
Are you not afraid that if you help yourself now, you will lose all your money in the future because of Su Wo's defeat?
Could it be that there are mountains of gold and silver on Sado Island, and it is worth letting the Tang people take it at any cost?

……

What he didn't know was that Wang Xuance didn't care whether the Suga clan won or won, he lived or died, as long as he could stir up the wind and rain in the capital of the Wa Kingdom and make the political turmoil in the Wa Kingdom come to an end, his goal would be considered accomplished.

He was afraid that Su Wo's ambitions were not big enough, and he didn't fight hard enough...

Suga Eizo pondered for a moment, then said after deliberation: "The situation is still under control at the moment, besides, your navy is far away in Sado, the distant water cannot save the nearby fire, even Suga's family is in danger, I am afraid your Excellency is helpless... But this kindness is always in my heart, and I will be honored to be able to help the emperor to punish the country's thieves in the future, maybe I will go north to Sado in person to meet Huating Hou, the Tang Junyan."

Wang Xuance did not take his words seriously.

Most of the sailors who came with him this time stayed in Nanbajin. Although there were only about 500 of them, all the elites were brave and skilled fighters, and they were well-equipped and well-trained. withstand?I dare not say too much, these 500 people against 5000 people, a massacre is appropriate...

However, he is also aware of Su Wo's concerns, fearing that with the help of Datang this time, Datang will ask him to repay the favor of today's help in the future. Will suffer a big loss.

He knew that it is not appropriate to force too much, otherwise it will cause rebellious psychology, and it will be superfluous. He said: "Since the senior is confident, the junior wishes you success and great achievements! But this time, the junior brought a siege with you." Sharp weapon, if the seniors don’t give it up, I can give it to you as a gift..."

Su Wo raised his spirits, and asked, "But what is rumored to be the divine thunder that razed Sangapura City, the capital of Linyi Kingdom?"

The news that Singapura City was razed to the ground overnight has already spread all over the world. People in the world don't care much about the bloody massacre by the Tang people, but they are shocked by the legendary "divine thunder" that can instantly collapse a thick and strong city wall. ...

If there is no accident, there must be a bloody battle in front of the palace gate. If there is a second-class "divine thunder" to help out, not only can the palace gate collapse easily, Suga's soldiers will drive straight into the palace, and even those stupid common people will see it. Go to Su Er's family to "follow the destiny", otherwise why would there be "Heavenly Thunder" to help?
Wang Xuance smiled and said, "Exactly."

Su Wo was overjoyed: "Since Your Excellency has given you such a magical weapon, then this old man will be disrespectful..."

Didn't you say "gift"?Since it's a gift, it's always embarrassing to take advantage of me afterwards, right?
Wang Xuance said cheerfully: "The junior will send someone to carry this thing, and let the senior command it."
