Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 454
What about the thoughts of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty?
Although the Tang Dynasty has recognized Jin Famin as the king of Silla, the emperor has often shown his love for Jin Renwen. Needless to say, the frequent rewards are given. The mansion where Jin Renwen lives is only one step away from the palace. The waist card in the entrance and exit ban, the guards around the emperor when he travels, and once the emperor even said at a banquet, "The benevolence and longevity will not come, the wine tastes like water!", and refused to raise a glass until Jin Ren asked.All of this is spreading a message to the outside world. This Silla hostage occupies an extremely important position in the heart of the emperor. Will the emperor let him return to Silla one day to replace his elder brother as king?
For this question, Jin Ren asked himself and did not know the answer.He was born in a family of emperors, of course he knows that a qualified king is an excellent actor in himself. When he was still a child, he often watched his father show his favor to others before ordering him to be killed. The emperor was one of them. A leader, sometimes Jin Ren asked himself that he couldn't tell which of what Li Zhi said and did was sincere and which was pretending.But one thing is certain, in the mind of the Son of Heaven, the priority of destroying Goguryeo is the highest, and anything that conflicts with this matter must be put aside. Therefore, even if the Son of Heaven is willing to make himself the king of Silla, it will be after that matter.

Then if the emperor supports it, can he defeat his brother and become king?Not long ago, I was quite pessimistic about this issue.Although there are still some people in Silla who support him, as Kim Famin has been on the throne for longer and longer, his supporters are also decreasing.More importantly, with Datang's management of the Korean Peninsula, Baekje was destroyed, Goguryeo was partially disabled, and the Japanese's attempt to invade the Korean Peninsula was destroyed. The biggest beneficiary of all this was not Datang, but Silla.

Jin Famin not only took back all the land occupied by Goguryeo and Baekje, but also did not need to expend national power to resist the invasion of the Japanese and Baekje. In the process of eliminating Goguryeo, Silla will undoubtedly get a big piece of cake.At that time, even with the support of Datang, can he defeat his brother and return to the country as king?
The astonishing news that Cui Hongdu brought back made Jin Renwen suddenly excited, even though since he knew Wang Wenzuo, Jin Renwen thought that Wang Wenzuo was a genius in the world, and made friends regardless of the disparity in their identities.But later facts proved that Jin Renwen still underestimated Wang Wenzuo. He originally thought that it would be good if Wang Wenzuo could grow up to be able to help him return to the country and become king within five years. Trouble.

Not only that, but he also established a very close relationship with the Wa queen, turning the Wa people from potential enemies into de facto allies.In this way, even if Silla can become stronger in the process of eliminating Goguryeo, the hope of becoming the throne will be greatly increased-he can attack Silla from both directions from the north to the south. There will be many people in the neutral camp betting on themselves.

The goal that was originally thought to be out of reach suddenly became within reach. Jin Renwen suddenly felt a little dizzy. He swayed, reached out to support the beam next to him, and regained his footing. At this time, he could not fall down. !

On the afternoon of the third day, East Palace.

"You are Wang Jiaoyu's subordinate!" Crown Prince Li Hong looked at Cui Hongdu who was kneeling down with interest. It may be because of the measles that had just come out that his originally white and smooth cheeks had darkened a lot, and his cheeks Also thinner, more supportive cheekbones are raised.

"Report to His Royal Highness, the last general's surname is Cui Hongdu, and he served under the command of the king's governor when he was in Baekje!" Cui Hongdu dared not raise his head, and replied loudly.

"So that's the case, you should talk soon!" Li Hong beckoned.Cui Hongdu pleaded guilty, stood up, bowed his waist and took small steps for four or five steps, then knelt down again.Seeing this, the prince smiled and said, "I told you to come closer, so you are not afraid of my rubella?"

Cui Hongdu was startled when he heard the words, and hurriedly responded: "I don't dare!" Then he got up and walked seven or eight steps, and he was only two or three meters away from the prince, and then he knelt down again.

"You look up!"

"My minister obeys the order!" Cui Hongdu raised his head, and only then did he notice that there were many small dark red herpes on the edge of the prince's neck, which were connected to the cheeks. Obviously, the cheeks should have been the same a few days ago, look. The prince fell ill this time, and the condition is really not serious.

"Yeah!" Li Hong observed carefully for a while, and then nodded in satisfaction: "Good looks, he really deserves to be Wang Jiaoyu's subordinate. By the way, Wang Jiaoyu's letter to me said that he has calmed down The letter did not go into detail about the chaos in the Wa Kingdom, how many soldiers and horses did you bring to the Wa Kingdom this time?"

"The first time I went there were four hundred soldiers, and the second time there were more than a thousand reinforcements!"

"That's it?" The prince was taken aback: "I heard that the Wa country is also a big country in Haidong. In the last battle of Baijiangkou, nearly 2 people were captured alive, and Wang Jiaoyu took more than 1000 people with him." How did you defeat the Japanese?"

"That's how it happened. When the king's governor arrived in the Wa Kingdom, it happened to be the critical time when the old Wa king had died and the new king had not yet succeeded. At that time, there were three people in the Wa Kingdom fighting for the throne. Wang Jiaoyu joined forces with one of them, and then raised his troops to attack the remaining Two people, this is how to defeat him! Among the soldiers under Wang Dudu at that time, nine out of ten were Japanese!"

"So that's the case, but even so, Wang Jiaoyu is amazing!" The crown prince nodded happily, then turned to ask Jin Ren beside him, "Ren Shou, do you think I'm right?"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is certainly not wrong!" Jin Ren asked with a smile: "To be honest, if it wasn't for the gifts from Cui Yuhou, I wouldn't believe that everything written in the letter is true!"

"Really?" Prince Li Hong said with a smile: "It seems that Wang Jiaoyu gave you a generous gift, come, bring me the gift list and let me see what Wang Jiaoyu gave me!" Taking the gift list in his hand, he unfolded it and his face changed slightly: "Cui Yuhou, is the gift list correct?"

"Absolutely correct?" Cui Hongdu hurriedly responded: "These are all counted by the minister one by one. Your Highness can ask someone to compare them one by one. If there is any discrepancy, it will be the fault of the minister!"

The prince looked at the gift list again, and did not ask anyone to count the gifts, but put the gift list aside: "I will not accept this gift, you take it back and return it to Wang Jiaoyu!"

"This——" Cui Hongdu was taken aback. Just as he was about to speak, the crown prince raised his right hand: "If Wang Jiaoyu sends you a few furs and some herbs, I'll accept them. But there are gold dust in the gift list." One hundred catties, two hundred catties of silver ingots, these are different. Don’t I know the difficulties of border scholars? You take the gold and silver back and tell Wang Jiaoyu. I will naturally find a chance to discuss the things mentioned in the letter with the emperor and empress. Speak for him in front of him, let him take good care of himself in the Wa country, and come back to Chang'an as soon as possible!"

"My minister understands!" Hearing this, Cui Hongdu was already inexplicably moved: "I will definitely bring your words, His Royal Highness, to the governor!"

"That's good!" Prince Li Hong showed a satisfied smile: "Actually, I also think that the matter about Liu Renyuan is a bit too much, but as a son of man, there are some things that are hard to say. Now that everyone is gone, the family and Returning the bones to their hometown is also a right thing! I will make a statement in front of my father in a few days!" At this point, he suddenly coughed, and the waiter at the side hurriedly called the medical officer on duty, and took medicine and Acupuncture is very busy.Cui Hongdu and Jin Renwen hurriedly withdrew and waited outside for a while, when a servant came out and bowed to Jin Renwen: "General, Your Highness the Crown Prince is a little tired today, please go back first!"

"Okay, thank you for your companion!" Jin Renwen said hello to the servant, and slipped a small piece of gold into the servant's hand without showing any trace, and then left the palace.

"His Royal Highness is kind, if he ascends the throne, he will be the Lord of Yao and Shun!" Cui Hongdu sighed.

"Your Highness is truly benevolent, but he doesn't treat everyone like this!" Jin Ren asked with a smile.

"That's right, thanks to the General!" Cui Hongdu said.

"Today, I'm just a passer-by! His Royal Highness regards Saburo very highly, as long as he knows that you are from Saburo, he will naturally treat you differently!"

"Oh? There is such a thing?" Cui Hongdu was taken aback: "Then just now the prince told me to tell the governor that he should cherish himself and return to Chang'an as soon as possible is the truth?"

"Of course it's the truth?" Jin Ren asked with a smile: "When you are the crown prince, you always say that to everyone? Let's put it this way, if Sanlang nodded at the beginning, he would have been the master of war in the East Palace and became the crown prince's side." I'm dead. When the Crown Prince ascends the throne, he will be the best candidate to lead the Beiya Imperial Army!"

"San Lang commanded the Forbidden Army of the Beiya?" Cui Hongdu was taken aback. At that time, the Forbidden Army of the Beiya was the emperor's personal soldiers in the true sense. The people who commanded them were the most trusted people of the emperor, most of them were noble children, and Wang Wenzuo was a few years old. Cui Hongdu couldn't help feeling a little unreal that Paozhe, who was still scooping porridge in the same big pot with himself in Baekje, could suddenly lead the Beiya Imperial Army.

"What's wrong? You don't believe it?"

"Don't dare!" Cui Hongdu hurriedly confessed: "I just feel a little incredible!"

"You didn't go back to Chang'an with Sanlang. You didn't know much about the situation at that time. Of course you find it incredible!" Cui Hongdu laughed and said, "The crown prince is only 12 years old now. Assuming he ascends the throne in ten years, if Sanlang stays in the East Palace during these ten years, you Who do you think the prince will choose to guard the Xuanwu Gate?"

"Then, why didn't Sanlang stay in Chang'an? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Cui Hongdu asked.

"I don't know about that!" Jin Renwen showed a playful smile, "Maybe it's because he can't let go of you, maybe it's because his ambition is too lofty?"

"The ambition is too lofty, higher than the guard Donggong?" Cui Hongdu became more and more confused, but it seemed that he couldn't fully understand what Wang Wenzuo was doing from the beginning.

"Maybe there are. After all, even the crown prince felt that the gifts he gave were a bit heavy!" Jin Ren asked with a smile, "I'm also a little curious. Where did Saburo find so much gold and silver? To be honest, he gave I have so much gold and silver that I dare not accept it!"

"Would you believe me if I said that the governor discovered an unprecedented large silver mountain in Wa country?"

After Jin Renwen heard this, he suddenly burst out laughing: "Forget it, since you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask any more. Anyway, I just need to know that Saburo made a fortune in the Wa Kingdom!"

Wa country, Namba Tsu.

Although it is already autumn, the heat has not diminished in the slightest. The cicadas outside the courtyard are screaming, and the noisy people are upset.Wang Wenzuo sat behind the desk, and two maids shook the cattail fans vigorously, bringing gusts of hot wind, which made him miss the air conditioner before crossing even more.

"Hey, if only I remembered how to build an air conditioner!" Wang Wenzuo sighed: "Forget it, it's better to get ice cubes from the top of the mountain and store them in the cellar. It's more realistic to take them out in summer!"

"Minggong!" Cao Sengnu said, "The boat loaded with sugarcane root seedlings has arrived!"

"Very good. We will load them into two ships and transport them to Ryukyu one after another. Let those Baekje people be careful. This is related to their own future!"

"Yes!" Cao Sengnu replied, knowing that Wang Wenzuo had high expectations for these sugar canes, he asked cautiously: "Minggong, in fact, there are already many places in the south of Datang that grow sugar cane. You can buy farm labor there, so why do you have to grow it in Ryukyu?"

"That's different!" Wang Wenzuo was about to explain the difference between a commercial plantation and a small-scale peasant economy to the other party, but the maid came in from the outside, with a flustered expression: "Zuo, Zuo Palace, Dan, Danbo Guosi is outside to see you!"

"Danba Guosi? Shoujun Dashi, right?" Wang Wenzuo glanced at the maid: "What's wrong with you? Why are you shaking, are you sick?"

"No!" The maid said with a wry smile, "The villain just stood in front of Danba Guosi, and he felt a little scared!"

"Are you a little scared standing in front of Shoujun Dashi?" Wang Wenzuo laughed: "Forget it, you can bring him in! Then you can go out! Is that all right?"

"Yes!" The maid answered and went out.Wang Wenzuo laughed and said, "This woman is usually fine, it's really strange why she looks like this today!"

"Minggong, I've also heard some rumors recently!" Cao Sengnu hesitated for a while, and finally decided to say it: "Shoujun Dashi has gone too far in Danbo Kingdom!"

"It's too much? How is it too much?"

"Killed a lot of people, a lot of people!" Cao Sengnu lowered his voice: "And the methods are very cruel!"

"The method is very cruel!" Wang Wenzuo looked up from the document. Cao Sengnu had followed him for some time, and he was no longer the young boy of the past. He should know something about Shoujun Dashi's going to Danbo Kingdom, but he still That being said, it seems that Shoujun Oishi's behavior in Tanba country is really not the usual "cool".

"What did he do?"

"The subordinates only heard a little bit!"

"Then tell what you heard!" Wang Wenzuo smiled: "If you don't say it again, then you have to say it in front of him!"

Cao Sengnu showed a wry smile: "I heard that Shoujun Dashi put the children of those who refused to confess, covering their children with coir raincoats soaked in fish oil, and then--"
