Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1807
Outside the window, it was raining like a waterfall, and Soga Ezo, who was dressed in a monk's robe, stood in front of the window, silent for a long time.

It turned out that he had lived in seclusion in a Buddhist temple for several years, and thought that he could understand life and death and sever the world of mortals, all of which were illusory. Just now when the news of his son's death came, he felt that all thoughts were lost at that moment. What kind of grandiose hegemony, what kind of family inheritance, what kind of famous history... It's an empty game.

When the news of Soga Ishikawa Maro's death came, he finally let go of his obsession...

"The elders of the family are ordered to restrain the soldiers and dead soldiers under their command, to control the streets and alleys and palaces of Asuka, and not to kill innocent people indiscriminately. Inform uncle as soon as possible, and the royal family in the palace will strictly monitor his behavior. You must not let the army rampage, except for Prince Gecheng and his heirs, you must not kill a single member of the royal family."

Su Wo Eizi gave the order, paused, and said: "Immediately send someone to the Ju Temple, and ask the elder brother of the ancients, the prince, to move to Bangai Palace."

The son is dead, the brother is dead, which of the remaining Suwo children can become the lord of the Wa Kingdom?

not a single one.

There is a saying among the Han people: if virtue is not worthy, disasters will follow.

If he does not have the ability to become the lord of the Wa Kingdom, even if he is pushed to that position with the power of the family, he may not end well, and even the Su family will suffer backlash.

That being the case, it is the best choice to support the eldest brother of the ancients to succeed the emperor. The eldest brother of the ancients has the blood of the Suga family, and this time the Suga family has paid a heavy price to support him. Su my family took good care of me.

As long as we can safely survive the next period of national turmoil, we can wait for another amazingly talented junior to lead the Su family to rise again...

*****
Bangai Palace, Daji Hall.

Su Ermo stepped into the hall through the wind and rain, surrounded by a group of dead attendants.

It's a mess...

On the majestic and majestic hall in the past, corpses were strewn all over the place, the ground was stained red with blood, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Eight out of ten of the elites of the Japanese court died here, and the very few who survived were those who had close contacts with the Suwo family or even had marriage alliances. Frightened, accompanied by a smiling face to meet.

Sugamo ignored them, and walked straight forward to the bottom of the imperial steps. Seeing Soga Ishika and Emperor Kogoku lying dead on their backs, the corners of their eyes twitched, then turned around, and saw Soga Ishikawa Ma Lu's body was lying dead under a pillar on one side, covered in blood, he could not rest in peace...

Su Moli said angrily: "This is my old nephew of the Su family, who killed him?"

Someone said respectfully: "The hall was in chaos just now, and the murderer was unknown in the scuffle. We were already dead when we found out."

Su Ermo sighed: "Forget it, today's Bangai Palace mutiny, the elites of many countries died here, the country suffered heavy losses, how can we implicate more officials to die because of the hatred of the family? Loyal to the emperor, at this time of national calamity, you should help protect the country and repay the grievances with virtue... Come quickly, collect the corpses of Soga Iruka and Soga Ishikawa Maro, bring them home, preside over the funeral, and bury them as soon as possible.”

Soldiers from Suwo's ​​family stepped forward to restrain the bodies of the two, but as for Emperor Huangji's body, they were cast aside in disdain and left alone...

All the officials in the hall were relieved when they heard Su Ermo's words.

The current patriarch of the Suga family, Suga Rulu, and the patriarch Suga Ishikawa Maro all died here. Who can guarantee that the furious Suga family will not go on a killing spree and kill all the officials who survived the scene?

Even if the Su family really wanted to take this opportunity to further dethrone the emperor's bloodline, killing them all would make clear the stumbling block.Now Su Ermo not only does not kill them, but also has no intention of pursuing them. Obviously, he has no intention of replacing the emperor...

Suga looked around everyone, with a gloomy old face, and said in a deep voice: "Today, Prince Katsuragi was bewitched by Nakamitsu Kamazu and others, and openly killed the Minister of Internal Affairs, Suga, in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the three Han envoys. I was loyal to the deer, and I did not hesitate to use my noble body to block the retrograde of Prince Katsuragi, but was brutally murdered by the heartless Prince Katsuragi with his son and mother! The Su family has been loyal for generations, so that the Japanese kingdom will not fall into the hands of treacherous craftsmen and disrupt the government. Raise troops in anger, rush into the palace, and help the building collapse!"

In any case, you must find a justifiable reason for your actions, so that you can gain the support of the whole country.

Fortunately, Su's family won a complete victory in this battle, and they held the knife in their hands. Naturally, they can say whatever they want, and they can say whatever they want...

"Yes, yes, Prince Katsuragi was bewitched by a traitor, so he couldn't tell right from wrong!"

"Nakatomi Kamazu and others turned black and white, and caused chaos in the court, everyone deserves to be killed!"

"It's not just that they should be killed? The three clans should be wiped out, so as to imitate others!"

"The Suga family has been loyal and good for generations, and is a model of loyal officials in the Japanese country. It is really chilling for Prince Gecheng to do this!"

……

With the blade resting on the neck, who dares to say no?

The only civil servants and military generals left in the main hall spoke up one after another, filled with righteous speeches and anger, condemning Prince Katsuragi for not distinguishing right from wrong, cursing the middle ministers for harming the country and traitors, and praising Suga's loyal heirs... Anyway, it is not good to call Prince Katsuragi's death What are you scolding, what are you complimenting about my family?

People have to bow their heads under the roof.

What's more, the current situation is that man is a knife and I am a fish?
The most important thing is that after this incident, the royal family will suffer a heavy blow. Looking at the Wa country, inside and outside the temple, no one can compete with the Suga family.Although the Su family lost a patriarch, they took the opportunity to reach the peak that the family had never seen before. But who would dare to offend the Su family if they still wanted to mess around in the three-acre land of the Wa country?

Seeing everyone's reaction, Su Ermo was very satisfied.

Just as he was about to speak, there was a loud noise behind him...

Su Ermo looked back in surprise, and saw several soldiers grabbing a young man by the collar, punching and kicking him. The young man was dressed differently from the Japanese, and shouted while being beaten, "Alas, I am Silla. Messenger, how can you be so rude?"

"Silla messenger? Silla messenger, what are you doing sneaking behind the door?"

It was Jin Famin who was hiding under the veil behind the pillars. There was a scuffle in the hall before, but no one discovered it. Now that the battle is over, the general situation has been decided. The soldiers cleaned the hall and removed the corpses to treat the wounded. pulled out...

"What do you mean by being sneaky? You Japanese fight and kill, and if I, a Silla, don't hide aside, don't I wait to be hacked by you a few times?"

Jin Famin still had lingering fears, the scene in the hall just now really frightened him.

This kind of mutiny was only heard in the past, but now it was really happening in front of him. The scene of swords, lights, swords and shadows flying all over the place scared him to two.

"Stop, bring him over!"

Su Ermo took the opportunity to stop the soldiers who were eager to try, and ordered Jin Famin to be brought to him.

"Are you an envoy from Silla?"

"Yes."

Su Ermo looked at Jin Famin rationally, hesitating in his heart.

It stands to reason that such things should never be seen by outsiders. Who knows if they will add fuel and jealousy to publicize it after they go back?The correct way is naturally to find an excuse to chop it up, or secretly send a few dead soldiers to assassinate it, only the dead will not gossip around.

A mere envoy from Silla, the country of Wa would not pay attention to it...

Now, however, the situation is slightly different.

The alliance between Silla and Datang against Goguryeo and Baekje is the highest level of allies. Once Silla's envoy died in Asuka and angered Japan, or even went to war, Datang will definitely not ignore it. You know, Now Datang has a navy stationed on Sado Island. Whether it is going north to cross the strait between Honshu Island and Ezo Island, or going south through the narrow and curved waterway between Honshu Island and Chikushi Island, it takes half a month. Can reach Nanbajin, then abandon the ship and land, and reach Asuki directly!
If it is normal, maybe there is no danger, but now the country of Wa is bound to usher in a great chaos, and the hearts of the whole country are scattered. How can they compete with the invincible navy of the Tang Dynasty?
Therefore, at this time, we must not turn against Silla...

Su Ermo squeezed out a smile on his old face full of turmoil: "The incident happened suddenly, which surprised the envoy...Come here, escort the envoy back to the residence to rest quickly, and don't let unrelated people bother you."

Jin Famin thanked: "Thank you, then I will go back and rest."

Su Ermo nodded and said with a smile, "It should be so."

Seeing Jin Famin leaving under the escort of the soldiers, Su Ermo narrowed his eyes, and said to the left and right after a while: "The old man is going to Feiniao Temple, and I have important matters to discuss with the old Patriarch, and you will strictly observe it." Entering and leaving the imperial palace is prohibited, if anyone dares to break into the gate and refuses to listen to dissuasion, he will be killed!"

"Yes!"

Su Ermo immediately led people out of Bangai Palace, went straight to Feiniao Temple, and went to see Su Er Ezo.
