Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 262 The Empty Throne

"That's right!" He Bayong patted his thigh: "Liu Wu's vengeance must not be left alone. Whoever shot that arrow at the beginning must be brought back, hacked into pieces, and sacrificed to Brother Wu's heroic spirit." !"

Shen Faseng calmed down a lot. He poured wine for Wang Wenzuo: "Revenge is a must, but with only one arrow, finding the murderer is like finding a needle in a haystack, right?"

"It's not difficult at all. I've already inquired about it. Goro was hit by an arrow when he charged straight into the enemy's formation. The enemy general under Bai Qi was none other than Fuyu Zhongsheng. It wasn't him who shot Goro, but also His guard, this arrow will naturally fall on his head!"

Shen Faseng and He Bayong exchanged glances. Now it is difficult to find out who shot the arrow in the scuffle at that time, but since it was Fuyu Zhongsheng who shot it to protect Fuyu Zhongsheng. It is not wrong to settle this account on Fuyu Zhongsheng's head.

"What Sanlang said is true, but that Fuyu Zhongsheng probably fled back to the country with the Japanese, the journey is far away, it may not be easy to kill him!" Shen Faseng said.

"Even if I went to the Wa country, it wouldn't be difficult!" Wang Wenzuo was originally a wealthy man, but at this time he was already a little bit drunk, and he was proud of it. He was surrounded by confidants like Shen Faseng and He Bayong. There is no cover in the mouth.

"Ah?" Shen Faseng was taken aback: "Sanlang, don't you plan to use troops against the Japanese kingdom? This is not a joke! I'm afraid the court will not agree!"

"Hahaha!" Wang Wenzuo laughed: "A mere Fuyu Zhongsheng, why use troops? In the next battle in Zhouliu City, all the ten-year savings of the Wa Kingdom will be turned into floating boards in the sea. The eldest brother and prince are probably already terrified now. It is good for the Tang Dynasty to rebuild the old one, not to mention one Fuyu Zhongsheng, but ten or a hundred, how dare he be stingy?"

"That's right, Saburo, you can ask Liu Dudu to revise a letter, and ask the Japanese king to hand over the head of Fuyu Zhongsheng!" He Bayong slapped his thigh excitedly: "Yes, even Fuyu Fengzhang also handed over, or we will send troops Wa country, crush their capital city!"

Shen Faseng was much calmer. He shook his head: "The peace and war between the two countries is a trifling matter. I'm afraid Liu Dudu would not write such a letter lightly!"

"Fa Monk, do you know? There is no Wa King in the Wa Kingdom!" Wang Wenzuo showed a mysterious smile.

"There is no Japanese king? Who is the Japanese chieftain who is fighting us?" Shen Faseng asked.

"That man is just a prince, and he hasn't been enthroned yet!" Wang Wenzuo put an empty wine glass on the table: "The former Japanese king and the Japanese called him Emperor Qiming, and the eldest brother prince is the regent, in charge of the government. In the first year of Longshuo In the eighth month, the Japanese king died."

"August in the first year of Longshuo? Isn't that the second year we were in Baekje? It was the time when the Japanese sent troops." He Bayong asked, "Eh! The king passed away, and the Japanese didn't stop sending troops?"

"Has He Bayou found the key?" Wang Wenzuo smiled and said, "According to Monobe Renxiong, the Japanese king is old and not in good health, but in order to help Baekje, Yujia arrived only [-] meters away from Silla. Chikushi, who was across the sea, also died there!"

"Sanlang! If it is according to what you said, it has been two years since the death of King Wa, and the throne is still vacant. Why didn't the eldest brother, the prince, become king? Is there something strange about it?"

"I can't say it's strange, but there is some inside information!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "This Japanese country is different from our country. In my Tang Dynasty, there is a heir to establish a heir, and there is no heir to establish an elder. If there is no son, brothers can succeed each other. In the Wa country, father and son follow each other. Yes, brothers can succeed one another, uncles and nephews can succeed one another, and husbands and wives can also succeed to the throne."

"Husbands and wives can succeed? Women can also become kings?" Shen Faseng opened his mouth wide and was dumbfounded: "Is there any reason for women to be kings in the world?"

"It may not be possible in the Tang Dynasty, but it is a common occurrence in the Wa Kingdom. The Wa King who just passed away was a woman, and she even ascended the throne twice."

"Wouldn't it be that there is no law at all? The royal family will inevitably kill each other from generation to generation, and there will never be peace."

"It's not wrong to say that there is no rules at all. The person who enthrones as king must be a member of the royal family, not a member of the royal family. Even if he is powerful, he can only support someone who is trusted by the royal family. It is absolutely impossible to usurp the throne by himself!"

"It's a bit like the Turkic people!" He Bayong said with a smile: "No matter how much you fight for hatred, the one who can sweat on the white felt will always be the Ashina clan."

"That's right, so the Japanese are quite proud of this, and call themselves the kingdom of God for all generations!"

"The line of Wanshi? It's ridiculous!" Shen Faseng sneered: "Sanlang, don't talk too far away. Since the eldest brother and prince are in the royal family and are in charge of the government, why not ascend the throne after the death of the Japanese king? What's hidden in it?"

"After the death of the former king of Wa, besides the eldest brother prince, there was also a prince named Youjian who was also very popular. So this prince Zhongda sent people to falsely accuse him of rebellion and killed the prince Youjian. It is said that after the death of this prince, he held a grudge in his heart and turned into a spirit of resentment, which haunted Prince Zhongda all the time, so the emperor Zhongda couldn't ascend the throne either!"

"Is this what the Japanese captives said?" Shen Fashen said with a sneer, "In my opinion, it's not caused by resentful spirits, but that although the prince is dead, there are still many supporters, and the eldest brother prince is not strong enough to ascend the throne!"

Wang Wenzuo glanced at Shen Faseng unexpectedly. In the ancient times who believed in Buddhism, it was rare for people to have such atheistic views: "Well, Faseng's views are the same as mine. Don't say that there may not be a vengeful spirit, even if there is a vengeful spirit, it can't stop him from ascending the throne!"

"If it's true, as Sanlang speculates, the news of Zhouliu's defeat in the battle will spread to the Wa country, and the prince's life will be difficult right now!"

"It's better if it's not easy! If everything goes well for him, there's really nothing we can do about him!" At this point, Wang, He Ba, and Shen laughed loudly.

It was almost dawn, and Fuyu Fengzhang was awakened by the violent shaking of the boat below him. He opened his eyes suddenly, and instinctively searched for the saber with his right hand, but he held a soft hand.

"Husband, are you awake?" Anpei Qingzi clenched her husband's right hand tightly, her eyes were full of love and compassion, and Fuyu Fengzhang's eyes were full of fear when she just woke up. She knew he was having a hard time. Restless, poor man, perhaps this pain will be with him all his life.

"Wake up!" Fu Yu Fengzhang's eyes regained clarity after a while, he grinned at his wife with a forced smile, and licked his dry lips: "The boat rocked a lot, what's wrong?"

"It's almost the mouth of the sea, it should be because of the tide!"
