Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 592 Tokaido

As for the three artifacts of the Wa Kingdom, Gao Ming was still a little interested before seeing them, but after seeing them, he had a thought of "that's all".

However, it is normal for Gao Ming to have such thoughts. After all, as the prince of Datang, what good things has he not seen?

In contrast, the three suspected antiques of the Qin Dynasty in the Wa country really couldn't catch Gao Ming's eyes.

And most importantly, the greatest value of the three artifacts of the Wa Kingdom is reflected in the fact that they are the royal inheritance tokens of the Chrysanthemum Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom. What are you doing with these three things?
Therefore, Gao Ming chose to give the eight-foot Qiong Gouyu to his nephew, and took the Kusanagi sword and Yata mirror to make knives.

For Gao Ming, compared to the useless Kusanagi sword and Yata mirror, a Tang sword made of meteorite is much more valuable, at least it is less prone to rust than ordinary iron swords.

The Three Artifacts of the Japanese Kingdom were just a small episode, and Gao Ming quickly forgot about them.

After lunch, as usual, he and Zhangsun Wuji and others started to process the papers. After the papers were processed, Fang Xuanling and the others left one after another, leaving only Zhangsun Wuji alone.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming immediately laughed.

"Uncle reserved it until the end today, but do you have anything to say to me?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Changsun Wuji immediately bowed to Gao Ming and said with a smile, "The old minister is here to thank His Highness for the gift!"

"Hahahaha!"

As soon as Changsun Wuji finished speaking, Gao Ming immediately laughed.

"A piece of broken jade pendant is nothing more than a toy for children. There is no need for uncle to thank you. Let Er Dan play with it casually. If it breaks, I will give him another one!"

"I'm afraid this won't work!" Looking at Gao Ming who was laughing, Changsun Wuji shook his head with a smile, "There is only one piece of the eight-foot Qiong Gouyu from the Wa Kingdom. Even if His Royal Highness wants to find a second piece, I'm afraid he won't be able to find it."

"Uh..." Hearing Changsun Wuji's words, Gao Ming's laughter stopped abruptly, and he looked at him in surprise, "You know this thing?"

"Hahahaha, of course!"

Seeing Gao Ming's surprised look, Changsun Wuji immediately burst out laughing, and nodded while laughing.

"Of course, the old minister knows about the inheritance treasure personally presented by the monarch of the Wa Kingdom, so the veteran came here to thank His Highness. By the way, I would like to ask Your Highness, how do you deal with the Wa Kingdom?"

Speaking of this, Changsun Wuji immediately put away all his smiles and showed a serious look on his face. Obviously, the last question was the reason for his staying.

Seeing his serious look, Gao Ming laughed again.

"Haha, there is no reason not to give away things for free. Since their monarchs have dedicated the country of Wa to our Tang Dynasty, there will naturally be no country of Wa in the future. I plan to name it Dongkaidao and send people to pacify it. Chaos, so that it can be integrated into my Tang Dynasty as soon as possible."

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Changsun Wuji nodded involuntarily.

"It should be so, then the old minister suggested that it is better to let General Ashnadur be in charge of pacifying the Wa Kingdom... No, it should be said that it is the pacification of the bandits in the Tungkaido, and temporarily act as the governor of the Tungkaido. How to deal with it will wait until the return of the Holy One Then make another decision, what do you think, Your Highness?"

When talking about "bandits", Changsun Wuji even accentuated his accent. Hearing his words, Gao Ming immediately understood that he was also one of the people who knew, so he smiled and nodded immediately.

"What uncle said is very true, then tomorrow morning, you will be there, Uncle Lao!"

"The old minister obeys!"

After finishing speaking, Changsun Wuji saluted Gao Ming again, then turned around and left. Looking at the back of Changsun Wuji leaving, Gao Ming smiled again.

"Dongkaidao, this name is quite good, it sounds much better than Waguo, haha!"

In Gao Ming's view, it couldn't be easier to pacify the Wa Kingdom.

Because as early as two months ago, all the military power of the Wa Kingdom was completely destroyed by the pirates pretended by Hou Junji, and after that, the main towns and mineral resources of the Wa Kingdom were controlled by the bandits pretended by Ashnadur.

Now there is no resistance in the Wa Kingdom. As for those rebellious people, when Ashnadur's army takes off the bandit shell and appears as a Tang army, they will definitely submit obediently.

As for people's livelihood, Gao Ming is even less worried, because Emperor Kotoku is a die-hard "Tang fan".

He initiated the famous "Dahua Reform" in the history of the Japanese country, learning from Datang no matter what, not only the weights and measures are the same as those of Datang, but even the coins circulating in the market use Kaiyuan Tongbao, which is commonly used by Datang.

Under such a social background, it can be said that it was an easy task for Datang to bring the Wa Kingdom into its territory. Not only will there be no obstacles, but the people of the Wa Kingdom will welcome it!
During this period, Datang could be called the real father of the Wa Kingdom!

And the fact is just as Gao Ming expected, following his order, in less than a month, the entire Wa country was under Ashnadur's control.

After Ashnadur pacified all of the Wa Kingdom, he changed the Imperial Palace of the Wa Kingdom into the Governor's Mansion of the Tokaido.

In this way, the country of Wa disappeared, and a place called "Donghai Road" was added to the territory of Datang.

As the king of subjugation, Emperor Xiaotoku was not depressed, on the contrary, he was quite happy in Datang.

When he escaped from the Japanese kingdom, he brought a large box of pearls. Pearls were a rarity in this period. With these pearls, Emperor Kotoku became one of the few rich men in Chang'an City!

In order for Emperor Xiaode to have money and find a place to spend it, Gao Ming generously gave him a pass token of the Tang Royal Club.

As a result, Emperor Xiaode immediately surpassed most of the nobles in Chang'an, and became one of the top consumers of the Datang Royal Club. His highest record was losing [-] guan in one day on the mahjong table of the Royal Club. !
Because of this, he was nicknamed Donghai Big Sheep by the nobles in Chang'an.

At the same time, Emperor Kotoku is also a die-hard rugby fan, and the money spent on rugby games every day is calculated in thousands of kan.

According to the latest news that Gao Ming received, he seems to have formed his own football team, because he is generous with his shots, and there are quite a few idlers in Chang'an City who go to play for him.

Emperor Xiaode's son, Prince Yuma, also went to study at the Datang Royal Academy in Jinju. It is said that his ideal is to become a tax official in Chang'an City.

Generally speaking, Emperor Kotoku and his son made Gao Ming feel more at ease, and the only daughter of Emperor Kotoku who made him feel helpless was Fuma.

This girl didn't know which tendon was wrong, she clamored to be her own woman, after Gao Ming rejected her once, she didn't give up, but went to participate in the second Tang Dynasty beauty pageant organized by Wu Mei , it seems that he is preparing to obtain No.1 and then make a request to Gao Ming.

Faced with such a situation, Gao Ming was also troubled.

"If she does get No.1, should I accept it or not?"
