Great Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 195 Chapter 204

Before Li Shimin left, he gave Zuo Ming the authority to appoint and remove officials below the governor, saying that the concession was made because of the isolation of Tokaido and the inconvenience of overseas communication.

With this privilege, Zuo Ming has the same rights as a king, and the officials of the entire Tokaido finally accepted their fate.

With the backing of the emperor, Zuo Ming is no longer something that their so-called righteousness can punish. In such a lonely land overseas, if they really offend Zuo Ming too much, they can hardly imagine how miserable their end will be. .

After all, the head of the Tōkaidō march is not just talking. Now, except for the navy, the entire Tōkaidō military force is in the hands of Zuo Ming.Moreover, the relationship between Li Tai and Zuo Ming is known to everyone in the entire Tang Dynasty. Even if they want to use Li Tai's navy to compete with Zuo Ming, they will never be able to do so.

Just kidding, borrow Li Tai's soldiers to fight against Li Tai's brothers?I'm afraid they were hacked to death by Li Tai's men as soon as they opened their mouths.This is the same as borrowing teeth from one tiger to bite another tiger, there will be no second result.

If you have the right to use it, it will become invalid after the expiration date. Zuo Ming understands this truth.

While the authority was still hot, Zuo Ming once again gave Dongkaidao a big shake-up. In addition to Wu Zhao, more than 20 women entered the official career, half of them were from the Dongying nationality, and the other half were immigrants from the mainland.

The relatives of the female officials on the mainland were very happy when they learned about this, and some of them with sufficient status, such as Cheng Yaojin, even sent a thank you gift directly, expressing their gratitude to Zuo Ming's cultivation.

Cheng Yaojin's coquettishness even blew up about Cheng Shishi becoming the county magistrate in Chang'an. What he hates the most now is that others say he is a scumbag. With such a daughter who is a civil servant, he would rather Let's see who dares to say that his family is full of reckless people!

Apart from Cheng Yaojin's family, the Jiang's family in Chang'an naturally gained the most.Because of Jiang Qing's incident, Zuo Ming felt very guilty towards Jiang's family, so besides two good girls from their family who went to Wu Zhao's subordinates as assistants, there was also a young man named Jiang Shangwen who was brought to Li Jingxuan by Zuo Ming.

The Jiang family was very happy to get three official positions from the fifth rank at one time.Although there are some differences between the five ranks of Tokaido and the mainland, but with this level of official status, it would be a very good thing to ask this cousin-in-law to help me transfer back to the inland in the future.Don't say it's a rising tone, even if it's a flat tone, they are satisfied.

After a series of changes, the entire Tokaido glowed with unprecedented vitality.Not to mention murder and arson, burning, killing and looting, even thieves have become a rare species in Tōkaidō.

There is no way, there are too many nobles in Dongkaidao, if they are too arrogant and hit the muzzle of the Tang Palace, they will die for nothing, and the family members may find it difficult to collect the corpse.

And now that the entire Dongying tribe has learned Chinese, the differences between the Dongying tribe and the Tang tribe have almost completely disappeared. If they don't admit it themselves, outsiders can't judge their race from their speech and behavior.Those arrogant Tang people can't do it if they want to bully the Dongying people, because they really can't tell which is the Tang people and which is the Dongying people.

Those Dongying people have also learned to protect themselves, and now they have changed their names, and they always pretend to be Tang people when they go out. Some cautious families even make a whole set of excuses wherever they come from inland.

What made Zuo Ming dumbfounded the most was that many Dongying girls, because they had no family members, actually used his banner, claiming that they were the maids dismissed by the Tang Palace.

But I captured their father and brothers and sent them to the inland as slaves, so Zuo Ming would let them go.

In fact, if you lie to people for a long time, you will also deceive yourself. Therefore, after many years, the next generation of the Dongying family has begun to call themselves immigrants from the mainland, and even many families have come up with quite perfect genealogy.

Of course, all of this is already a story.

Not long after Zuo Ming set off a wave of women becoming officials and doing business, the Silla envoy came to Dongkaido again.It was Jin Yunxi from Tang Palace who went to meet him.

However, when Jin Yunxi led the Silla envoy into his hall, Zuo Ming was stunned.

It was a beautiful woman, with red lips and white teeth, skin as bright as snow, and her turbulent condition was also shocking. Of course, these are not the key points. The most important thing is that that beauty looks very similar to Jin Yunxi!

"Silla Kinderman, pay homage to His Royal Highness Tang Wang."

This woman is very elegant, after seeing Zuo Ming, she gave a slight bow, and immediately exposed her deep career line to Zuo Ming's sight.

"Kindman? Are you the Queen of Silla?"

After a brief moment of surprise, Zuo Ming asked in surprise.

"I didn't expect His Royal Highness Tang to have heard the name of the concubine, and the concubine was really flattered."

With a touching smile on his face, Kinderman said softly.

"You are so courageous! You should know that because of your participation in the East China Sea Alliance, I, Datang, wished to get rid of you and soon. If you come here alone at this time, aren't you afraid that the king will kill you with a knife? ?”

Zuo Ming pretended to be furious.

"Then His Royal Highness Tang, are you willing to kill the concubine?"

Smiling lightly, Kinderman didn't care about Zuo Ming's threat, instead he said narrowly.

As he said that, it was Luo Shang who relieved him lightly, and came to have a frank meeting!
You know, it's still early spring at this time, even if it's Kyushu Island, it may not be warm enough.

"hiss"

Although he was unwilling, Zuo Ming's gaze was inevitably attracted.

It's not that he's not firm enough to be someone, it's that the women in this world are too hateful, and they're too good at taking advantage of their strengths.

However, more exciting things are yet to come.Seeing Kinderman taking off his shirt, Jin Yunxi next to him bit his red lips and took off his coat.

"Gollum."

Smelling a burst of fragrance, Zuo Ming swallowed deeply again, then resisted the impulse in his heart, turned his face away and shouted, "What exactly do you want to do?"

This is also because the wives have fed him quite full in the past few days, otherwise, he must have lost control at this time.

"The concubine hopes that His Royal Highness Tang can release those Silla sailors who are still imprisoned on Xigui Island."

Gently grasping Zuo Ming's right hand, Kinderman clumsily begged, "As long as you let them go, our two sisters will be yours."

"It's only 3000 people. It's worth it for you, a queen, to come in person and include yourself?"

Zuo Ming couldn't help sighing deeply, and slowly withdrew his hand.

This is the politics of this world, always accompanied by all kinds of temptations and sacrifices.

It was hard not to get caught up in it.

"My Silla is no better than Tang Dynasty, or even Goguryeo. Goguryeo can gather up to 4 soldiers and horses, but my Silla, even in times of national calamity, can only gather more than 3000 to [-] soldiers and horses. Losing these more than [-] people, our country has lost [-]% of its military strength, and it is still a navy. This is definitely an immeasurable loss. Therefore, the concubine implores His Royal Highness Tang, for the sake of the concubine's body, let those A man of Silla!"

After finishing speaking, she moved closer to Zuo Ming, showing all the beautiful scenery under Zuo Ming's gaze and breath.

"What a tempting deal!"

"Ah! The most difficult thing to bear in ancient times is the grace of beauties. Your beauties have succeeded, and I will send someone to release them later. But do you really think that this will solve the problem? Datang is still going day by day. Become stronger, every time your people are captured, do you want people like today? I don’t look down on women, but war has always been a man’s business. Why do you waste your beauty and youth for these vain things? ? You deserve a better life."

Zuo Ming smiled bitterly.

"This kingdom was left by the concubine's father, and the concubine really doesn't want to ruin it in her own hands."

With a sad smile, Kinderman said firmly.

"A lot of things can't just happen if you don't want to. People sometimes have to learn to admit defeat, and the country is the same."

Gently enchanting Kinderman's smooth face, Zuo Ming slowly shook his head.
