People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 606 The Japanese can be bound by the law of the Tang Dynasty, they should be grateful

On the West Lake, a boat with a black awning is floating gently.

On the boat, apart from Li Zhu who was rowing the oar, only Li Xuan and Monk Daozhen were sitting on the bow. On the table in the middle, there was a wine pot and a few dishes of side dishes, relaxing and comfortable.

As the sun sets, red clouds spread over the lake, making people feel peaceful.

Monk Daozhen put away the Zen thoughts in his heart, raised his head to look at Li Xuan, put his palms together and said, "Your Majesty is indeed very skillful and courageous. At such a time, he dares to get along with the poor monk. The little monk admires him."

Li Xuan smiled faintly, and said softly: "Although the master is profound in Buddhism, but on this water lake, it is Xiao Wang who wants to gain the upper hand."

Strong self-confidence is undoubtedly revealed in a few words.

Monk Daozhen frowned, and said softly: "The poor monk has also heard about this. When the king was destroying the Tianyin Sect, he used wind and rain many times, and the Tianyin Sect had thousands of troops. In the end, they were all buried in the hands of the prince. , I admire it, but... I don’t know if the power of the prince is also applicable when it comes to sea?"

maritime.

Li Xuan turned her head and looked towards the east. Between the West Lake and the East China Sea, there is only Hangzhou and the Qiantang River.

The wind and waves at sea may reach Hangzhou at any time, just like the sea hurricane earlier.

Li Xuan turned back, looked at Monk Daozhen, and said calmly: "Tao can be said, it is very Tao, it can be named, it can't be named, there are certain rules for things between heaven and earth. For example, on the sea, different seasons, wind direction, and sea water flow Each is different, as long as you can grasp the changes of the weather, then no matter what you do, you can be relaxed and natural."

Monk Daozhen looked at Li Xuan with incomparably solemn eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Please speak carefully, my lord."

Li Xuan smiled lightly and said: "For example, at present, in autumn and winter, the north prevails over the East China Sea, but the sea current flows from Hangzhou to Japan, but in spring and summer, the direction of the wind and the direction of the seabed will reverse."

The corner of Monk Daozhen's mouth twitched slightly. How could he not know that what Li Xuan said was correct, but it didn't touch on the details at all.

Before he could continue to ask, Li Xuan spoke again, which directly attracted his attention.

"Although the general direction between heaven and earth is certain, occasional changes can become opportunities that can be used. For example, on the first day of October, the wind direction turned westward. If you can seize the opportunity, within seven days, you will be able to take advantage of it." But it’s not far from Hangzhou to the country of Wa, and to the land of the country of Wa.” While speaking, Li Xuan looked up at the East China Sea.

Daozhen immediately looked over, his face changed slightly: "The first day of October, that's the day after tomorrow."

After a few breaths, Daozhen turned his head to look at Li Xuan, and Li Xuan just looked at him calmly.

The atmosphere between the two had stagnated silently. In the eyes of both of them, it seemed that there was a fleet of ships sailing on the stormy sea. At the end of the dark night, the coastline suddenly appeared, and a piece of lights filled the coast in an instant.

There is Wajima.

Daozhen finally nodded slowly, and said solemnly: "The Heavenly Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty, the Wa Kingdom is naturally willing to be with the Tang Dynasty forever, and the poor monk is also willing to work hard for it, but I don't know what King Tianwu of our country thinks in his heart. "

Li Xuan nodded. Ever since he knew the origin of Monk Daozhen, Li Xuan understood that Monk Daozhen would definitely try his best to push the army of King Tianwu of the Wa Kingdom to go northward, and jointly conquer Silla with Datang.

In this way, not only can the main force of King Tianwu be trapped in Silla, but even after the fall of King Tianwu, they can also use the power of the Tang Dynasty to calm the hearts of the people in the country of Wa, and the abacus should not be too loud.

"Master, if you have something to say, you may as well just say it. Although there are not many things that Xiao Wang can do, but there are His Majesty and the Queen of Heaven, and there are countless soldiers from the Anton Governor's Mansion. I don't think I dare to do anything. My court is capable of accomplishing it." Li Xuan Push the wine glass forward slightly.

"So, poor monk, you're welcome." Daozhen's expression became serious and solemn: "Once the two countries form an alliance, our country will send four hundred students to study in Datang in two batches every year, and Datang will send official ships to our country to pick them up. After receiving Zhongtu, after arriving in Zhongtu, all the board and lodging of our students will be taken care of by Datang, and they will not be hindered in whatever they do, "

Li Xuan laughed a little, shook her head and said: "Master really knows what is called a lion's big mouth, but he asks for a lot of money and pays back the money, Xiao Wang is just a vulgar one now."

Li Xuan's face was serious, and he said seriously: "Datang sends an official ship to your country to pick up people once a year. Business travelers from your country can also follow the official ship when they go to Datang. Of course, business travelers from Datang can also follow Official ship, as for the students, Master, eight hundred foreign students every year, will your country send them out?"

Back then when Xu Fu traveled to the East, he only brought [-] boys and girls with him. The Japanese sent [-] students to the Tang Dynasty at one time, fearing that they would drain all the younger generation of aristocratic children.

Li Xuan didn't believe that they would send common people's children to study in the Tang Dynasty, if that was the case, Li Xuan couldn't have wished for it even more.

"There is no upper limit to the number of students who come to Datang from the Wa Kingdom every year in Datang, but all students must be proficient in Chinese characters. Our dynasty has the right to hold an exam in your country every year. Those who pass the exam can come to Datang Studying... If you don't even know the characters of the Tang Dynasty, you can't speak the official language of the Tang Dynasty, what's the point of such a person." Li Xuan directly waved his hand and drew a passing line.

Daozhen's expression darkened in an instant. He understood that if Tang culture was allowed to prevail among the Chinese people, it would be extremely detrimental to the rule of the royal family.

Taking a deep breath, Daozhen told himself that if the Wa country wants to become stronger, it must take the road of learning from Datang.

Moreover, Datang doesn't have much energy in Dongdao now, let alone Wa country, so this matter is only good for Wa country in the short term, and has no harm.

Seeing Daozhen finally nodded slowly, Li Xuan smiled, and then said: "After the students from the Wa country come to Datang, they can enjoy the treatment of scholars in the Tang Dynasty. Master, don't say what you do, don't stop such nonsense, even This king does not have such privileges, under the law, everyone is equal, and the Wa people can be bound by the laws of the Tang Dynasty, so they should be grateful."

"Your Majesty's words are very true. Daozhen made a mistake." Monk Daozhen took a deep breath and apologized to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan nodded, and said: "The students of the Wa Kingdom enjoy the treatment of scholars in the Tang Dynasty. Similarly, the merchants of the Datang Dynasty also enjoy the equal rights of the nobles in the Wa Kingdom. The Wa Kingdom is a vassal of the Tang Dynasty after all."

Li Xuan's last sentence was very serious. Daozhen had previously emphasized that the two countries were allies, but in Li Xuan's view, the Wa Kingdom was at most a Tang Dynasty's vassal state.

"Other things can be decided, but I want my king to nod, and the poor monk hopes that the Tang emperor can make a decree to canonize my king's son as the crown prince." Monk Daozhen bowed heavily, with a sincere expression on his face.

"It seems that the master wants to completely end the internal turmoil in the Wa country for many years." Li Xuan took a deep breath and looked solemn.

From the founding of the Wa Kingdom to the present, although it is normal for father and son to pass on the throne, it is uninterrupted, and there is also the matter of brothers succeeding each other.

Today's King Tianwu of the Wa Kingdom used to be the East Palace back then, and had the opportunity to take over the throne of the King of Wa from his elder brother Tianzhi, but it is a pity that his brother passed the throne to his son King Hongwen when he was dying.

King Hongwen died of illness after only three years on the throne. King Tianwu took the throne directly from his nephew who was supposed to take the throne, and married several nieces as his concubines.

Now that Tianwu is getting older, he no longer wants to see the turmoil in the country similar to his early years, and hopes to completely establish the tradition of father dying and son succeeding.

If Datang could really agree, then King Tianwu would definitely lead his army north immediately.

Li Xuan nodded, and said softly: "Master, you can go first. If the king of your country is interested, you can send someone to Silla to contact our army. I will deliver the imperial decree to the Navy Master."

"Your Majesty is so scheming!" Daozhen took a deep breath, then smiled lightly and shook his head.

As soon as the Japanese navy moved, it didn't even need to contact Datang, and it would immediately attract Silla's attention.

Seeing Li Xuan's firm expression, Daozhen nodded and said, "If that's the case, I will trouble the king, but I also ask the sage to send the mage from the Da Chong'en Temple to our country to preach the decree that the two countries will form a good alliance and the Dharma will be spread eastward. "

Daozhen's words sound ordinary, but after careful calculation, they are full of calculations.

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Xuan said directly, "Yes!"

"This will trouble the king." Monk Daozhen heaved a sigh of relief.

"Master, you are welcome." After Li Xuan finished speaking, she raised the wine glass in front of her. Daozhen Japanese people do not shy away from wine.

The two clinked glasses with each other, and the alliance between the vassals of the Tang Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom had a beginning.

But only a beginning.

The real covenant requires the official officials of Honglu Temple to go to the country of Wa, and at the same time, the envoy of the country of Wa to come to Datang.

But these are not related to Li Xuan's business. He is just the inspector of Honglu Temple and can act on his behalf, but it doesn't count if he said the specific details, and those are not his duties. He just needs to be sure. If there is any movement in the Wa country, it is enough to make Silla fearful.

Now this task is basically completed, but if you want to completely destroy Silla's delusion, you need to fight a few victorious battles on the front line.

Li Jinxing, Gao Kan, and Black Tooth Changzhi, Li Xuan did not believe that these names would mess up.

……

"If he didn't know about you, this king might really believe that he really thinks of King Tianwu wholeheartedly." A sneer appeared on the corner of Li Xuan's mouth, and he looked sideways under the shadow of a tree.

Queen Quan turned out from under the shadow of the tree, her petite and graceful figure wrapped in black night clothes.

"My lord, the master has sent a letter to let the maidservant go back." Queen Quan held the dagger in her hand and bowed slightly to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan nodded, and said: "He is going back to the Wa country soon, and now, nine times out of ten, he wants to explain to you what he will do next, you go, be careful."

"Here!" Queen Quan retreated a little, then retreated into the darkness.

Li Xuan looked at the bright moon slowly rising in the distance, a slight sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Daozhen didn't see the murderous intent hidden in his hand at all.

Datang's caravans can go to the Wa Kingdom at will, once the Datang's caravan discovers the gold and silver mountains of the Wa Kingdom, then there is no need for Li Xuanduo to do anything or say anything, and the whole court will frantically send troops to the East Island .

Now the East Island will be destroyed.

Even if Datang is unable to rule the East Island, Li Xuan can still support a puppet government, just like Queen Quan.

In the country of Wa, there have been four or five queens up to now, and there is no shortage of one more.

Not to mention, Empress Quan has two older sisters.

At this time, a rush of footsteps came from behind, and Li Zhu came from behind quickly.

"What happened, so hurried?" Li Xuan looked at Li Zhu, frowning slightly.

Li Zhu stopped, and said with a solemn expression, "Reporting to the king, there is an imperial decree that the governor of Hangzhou, Yuan Jiazhu, was transferred to another place, and the new governor has arrived. In addition, the secretary Lang Xue Zhongzhang arrived at the same time, and Su Yu, the Hangzhou facao who joined the army, was transferred to Dali Temple." , Xue Zhongzhang took over Hangzhou Facao and joined the army."

"En!" Li Xuan nodded calmly, then looked at the West Lake in front of him under the dusk, and said softly: "It's time to come, it's finally here."

The West Lake is beautiful in the setting sun, Huawu Pingting.Ten hectares of waves are flat, and there is no one on the wild shore.

On the southwestern moon, the clouds are scattered, and the Xuan threshold is cool.The fragrance of lotus root is clear, and the wind blows on the surface of the water to wake up the surface of the wine.
