Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 420
"Recruit more than 100 family members and more than 400 champions at once! Even for His Royal Highness, the Minister of Internal Affairs, this is too much, right?"

"That's right! And I only test archery and equestrian skills, and don't ask about anything else. I've never heard of any nobleman recruiting like this."

"Yes, although serving the Lord with martial arts is also one of the responsibilities of the Sheren, but there are other things, right?"

"Have you heard? His Royal Highness the Minister of Internal Affairs is originally from Tang Dynasty!"

"It doesn't matter. Fuyu Fengzhang was not originally from Baekje. After marrying the daughter of the Ampere family, he is also a nobleman. The Ministry of Things and Soga's ancestors are also from foreign countries. Not to mention that the Minister of the Interior is noble and deep. He has won His Majesty's trust, is His Majesty's minister, and his future is even more limitless!"

"Yes, yes! I heard that His Majesty once said that everything should be handled by the Minister of the Interior. From this point of view, His Highness's official position will never be limited to the Minister of the Interior!"

"You said you want to be promoted? But he is not the royal family, the highest is the Minister of the Interior?"

"What you said is just a convention, not a law issued by the court! If the master can put down the rebels and make great achievements, then he will definitely reward him!"

"That's true, but you said that the Lord is of noble birth, where did you start?"

"I've also heard that the lord's surname is Wang, and I heard that he is a noble family of the Tang Dynasty that has been passed down for thousands of years, just like Suga and Monobe in our country, the lord is the noble son of the Wang family!"

"That's right, I didn't think so much!"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, I didn't make it clear!" Miwa-kun hurriedly explained: "The son of Sakahebu Bansho is called Sakahebu Yuya. He joined the army and went to Baekje, and he never came back. He is dead. But the secret agent under his command learned from Sakaabe Iwasaku’s servant that Sakaabe Yuya returned not long ago!”

"You forgot, the Minister of Internal Affairs is from Tang Dynasty! The one standing next to him just now is Monobe Renxiong. He went to Baekje when the army was dispatched. Do you understand now?"

"If this is the case, it would be a little strange!" Brother Zhong stood up and paced back and forth on the smooth wooden board: "The long-lost son suddenly returned, and the old father suddenly took risks to run around in the middle of the night and hide during the day." It's really strange to pretend to be sick at home!"

Hehehe!
Wang Wenzuo laughed: "It's a good idea, but I think Brother Zhong will suppress this matter for the time being, and wait until we are defeated before we come to settle accounts with these people!"

"This is a lie, he is in good health!" Mr. Sanlun sneered, "My people discovered that he has been meeting and contacting other people in secret lately at night, and he also made secret oaths and wrote oaths!"

"That's right, it's important to receive a reward, let's go, let's go!"

"Almost!" Brother Zhong sneered, and he stretched out his finger and pointed around: "In Asuka, people are in a state of panic. If I arrest Sakahebu Pansho and torture him, let him reveal the list, and then arrest him according to the list. People, what will be the result? More people will fall into panic, we are pursuing the conspiracy, but there will be all kinds of rumors that are not good for us!"

"Hehehe!" Wang Wenzuo smiled: "Yeah, I think so too. Guys like Brother Zhong, in the final analysis, have to be distinguished on the battlefield. I let Shoujun Dashi go there, which is to weaken him a little bit. strength."

"Order! Your Majesty!" Sanlun-kun said eagerly, "Give me a hundred soldiers and arrest this guy, and I promise I can make this guy spit out everything in half a meal!"

"Really!" Qiyu was overjoyed when he heard that, "So many people are on our side? No wonder you are so calm!"

This is not a problem for Brother Zhong, because he himself is the commander of the army. If Victory has enough prestige to control the army; but as a woman, Saitama has no ability to command the army, and Wang Wenzuo will replace her throughout the civil war. If she wins the war, if she leaves Wang Wenzuo, even if she has become king, it will be difficult for her to control the emerging military aristocrats that emerged during the war and secure the throne.

How Emperor Gaozong and his side treated the meritorious minister Wang Wenzuo could not be more clear. Let alone those who are far away, only those who are near. After three years of hard work, the Baekje rebellion was finally put down, and the Japanese reinforcements were defeated, which made great contributions to the country.But because of his surname Liu, he was recalled to the country and exiled in Yaozhou, and now he is probably dead for some unknown reason.

"Why are you guys hiding here? The rewards have started to be distributed outside, and you don't want them anymore? If you go late, there will be no more!"

"That's true, Katsuragi will indeed do that!" Saitama frowned: "Hey, why is that guy Katsuragi so difficult to deal with? If it was him who died, it would be great if the one who survived was a seaman!"

"Besides that, there is another question!" Brother Zhong said, "Is the list of conspiracies of Sakahebu Panchao very long?"

"That's exactly what the envoy from the Tang Dynasty wanted me to do!" Brother Zhong sneered, "If I do what you say, he'll be so full of laughter!"

Asukyō Pure Land Palace.

"You said someone was instigating a conspiracy in Asuka?" The brush in Brother Zhong's hand stopped on the paper. His desk was full of various books. Compared with Wang Wenzuo, he had much more to worry about. After all, Asuka is under his control.

"En!" Qiyu nodded, her brows were tightly frowned, as if she was thinking about something difficult to decide, and suddenly she asked, "Sanlang, would you like to stay?"

"His son? Is there anything wrong with that?" Brother Zhong asked.

"Yes, it's a lie, but sometimes a lie is easier to believe than the truth, especially now that the streets are full of greedy soldiers, it's not a lie!"

"It's not surprising at all!" Brother Zhong put down his brush: "Since ancient times, conspiring is the specialty of priests. Tell me, what's going on?"

"That's right, Your Majesty!" Mr. Sanlun looked serious. As the confidant of Brother Zhong, he has a small but very capable intelligence network under his command, which continuously sends all kinds of information to Brother Zhong's case: "If If my subordinates are not mistaken, the source of this conspiracy should come from Namba Tsu!"

"Yes, for example, we are greedy for the property of the arrested, and want to use their money to feed the greed of the soldiers, so we just found a reason to capture them!"

--------------------------------

"It depends on the situation of the drill!" Wang Wenzuo said: "It should be within ten days!"

"Naturally, it's a conspiracy. How many people did he contact? What did he want to do? Don't worry, I will arrest everyone, and not even a little mouse will escape!"

"That's natural, these people have always been like this, it's great to be able to do this!" Saitama excitedly read the list twice, and said with a sly smile: "By the way, if I give this list to Katsuragi, do you think it will be interesting?"

"Neifu, when do you plan to send troops?" On the pagoda, Qiyu looked at the long line of Japanese archers below to receive the reward, and suddenly asked.

Today is different from the past, with the transformation of the Yamato country into a law-based country, the mysticism of the emperor has faded, and he is closer to an administrative head than a priest; secondly, the scale of the royal civil war is unprecedented, regardless of the final victor Whoever it is, the status of the local rich will be greatly improved, because the main body of the armies of both sides is composed of these people.

"This, this is a lie!" Mr. Sanlun was shocked and angry.

Qiyu stared at Wang Wenzuo, as if she wanted to confirm the authenticity of the other party's words, and finally she sighed in disappointment: "Forget it, you are right, everything has to be discussed after the victory. I know that you Tang people are very proud and think that Datang is the best in the world. However, people in Tang still have an old saying, "It is better to be the head of a chicken than to be the queen of a cow". Although Datang is good, the emperor of Datang can be like me Do I treat you normally? You can decide for yourself whether you gain or lose!" After saying that, he turned around and walked into the pagoda.

"I can make an exception for you!" Qi Yu said: "I can give you a special surname, and serve as the Minister of the Taizheng for generations to rule over the officials. After all, after this civil war, without your assistance, it would be difficult for me to sit still. Sir!"

"Is there any chance of winning?" Saitama asked.

"Besides, someone found his son!"

"Stay? What do you mean?" Wang Wenzuo asked.

"Your Majesty, we haven't won this war yet, and it's too early to discuss these things!" Wang Wenzuo bowed to Qiyu: "But no matter what, I have to thank you deeply. What you said just now is true. It is a great honor for me!"

"Sakagabu Iwachi? You mean the leader of the Sakakobu? I remember, didn't he catch a cold recently?"

"Although what you said is good, you still have to win the big brother Zhong. But the big brother just burned our fleet, and the army is more than ours—"

"Confess what?"

Wang Wenzuo did not speak. He could hear the sincerity in Saitama's words. There were indeed many female emperors in ancient Japan, such as Empress Qiming and Emperor Tuiko, but these female emperors either reigned for a short time or were more based on The theocracy ruled the country and played the role of chief priest rather than executive head and supreme commander.

Looking at the back of Qiyu's departure, Wang Wenzuo couldn't help sighing. He planned to defeat Brother Zhong, resign from the post of Minister of Internal Affairs after the Japanese chaos was put down, and return to Baekje to write a letter to the court stating that it was a last resort for him to accept the Japanese official title. Qiyu is also very aware of his plan, and apologizes to the emperor.And those words just now touched his heart. If Wang Wenzuo was not moved by the previous conferring on the Taizheng ministers and generations, then the last sentence "Although the Tang Dynasty is good, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty can treat you like me." Is it?" But Wang Wenzuo was really moved.

"Promote me to be a minister of the Taizheng?" Wang Wenzuo laughed: "As far as I know, only the royal family can be the minister of the Taizheng in your country!"

"Unfavorable rumors!"

"What did the envoys of the Tang Dynasty want you to do?" Miwa looked at his king in confusion, blinking his eyes: "You mean all of this is his trap?"

"Let's put this matter aside for now!" Wang Wenzuo thought for a long time, and finally decided that procrastination is the most important thing. It is true that he has enough troubles right now, so let's not mention future troubles for now.

"I have heard that in the Tang Dynasty, the father was the prime minister, but the son may not be the prime minister; but in our country, the father is the minister of the interior, and the son can also be the minister of the interior, and it will be passed down from generation to generation. If you can defeat Katsuragi this time, I plan to Promote you to Minister of the Taizheng."

"Your Majesty, look at this!" Wang Wenzuo pulled out a folded paper from his sleeve and handed it over.Qiyu took the paper suspiciously, only to see names written on it, and dark red bloody fingerprints underneath.

"This is the list of oaths sent by Shoujun Dashi from Asuka, and those who are willing to stand on our side!" Wang Wenzuo's voice was unhurried, as if everything was under control: "As long as Brother Zhong's army leaves Asuka, they will raise their troops!"

"This is really a hardworking man!" Brother Zhong laughed. He has no doubts about the authenticity of his subordinate's report. After all, the streets of Asuka are not safe during this period, and most people are hiding at home when they have nothing to do. , running around is an abnormal phenomenon in itself, let alone going out at night.

None of Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang, and Li Ji made great contributions to the country, but the first two died in exile, and the latter one had no peace after his death because of the rebellion of his descendants, and his grave was dug by the Wu family.Wang Wenzuo himself was implicated in the matter of the two useless princesses because of his bad luck in Chang'an. If he hadn't been quick-witted and lucky, he might have died in prison long ago.So when he left Chang'an, he was full of joy as if he had escaped from a tiger's den, which is not surprising at all.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to be too happy too early! They gave us the oath, and probably Katsuragi's oath too, this thing can't be counted until the last moment!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "At most, it's just a distraction. People with a head and a mouse at both ends will not work hard for us!"

"Just now, I took a sneak peek at the Lord, and it is indeed extraordinary, which makes people feel convinced!"

"Do you remember Iwasho Sakaabe?"

"Yes, although I don't know the exact number, but it has been confirmed that there are 70 to [-] people!"

"Look, if we arrest these people, how will we deal with their relatives, relatives, relatives and friends? Kill them? Arrest them too? Or put them in another book?" Brother Zhong smiled wryly: "You also know that the people in Feiniaojing are now My soldiers are already very dissatisfied, they just feel that they are too weak to stand up, and if they see that so many people have formed an alliance against me-"

"I understand, I will let my subordinates strictly monitor!" Hearing this, the forehead of Sanlungong was already covered with sweat. Every action will cause flames. When the battle is approaching, it is better to stop still.

"That's it!" Brother Zhong said: "Actually, no loyalty is absolute. As long as I can defeat the rebellious party, this little conspiracy will naturally be defeated! If I lose, one more conspiracy and one less conspiracy will be destroyed." It's irrelevant!"

　Webb wishes everyone a happy Chinese New Year and all the best!
