Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

"Why doesn't it matter? You have so many sons and such a big family fortune. If you don't establish a legitimate son, wouldn't it be a big quarrel in a hundred years?" Gui Shiyun said with a smile.

"Family property?" Wang Wenzuo smiled: "What kind of family property? What do you think of this thousands of miles of country? A few mills and hundreds of acres of wheat land? I can give it to whomever I say it should be given to? If it's not good, you can't get it. It’s a small matter to live in it, but it’s a big deal if you can’t save your life!”

"Really?" Gui Shiyun rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Then how did Yanliang become the king of Japan?"

"He was also a coincidence and not due to my own efforts!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "If it weren't for Qiyu competing with Brother Zhongda and Dahairen for the position, I wouldn't have been able to intervene, let alone having this child with Qiyu. If Saitama had not died in childbirth, it would not have been his turn to become king!"

"Really?" Onimuroyun said with a smile: "It would be fine if Saitama, Nakadai, and Dahairen competed for the position by chance. But later on, you and Saitama having a child can't be said to be a coincidence, right? Even so. It was a coincidence that Saitama died in childbirth. Even if Saitama survives, will she have children with someone else in the future? A hundred years from now, this position will not belong to you and her heir?"

Hearing Gui Shiyun's rebuttal, Wang Wenzuo smiled and said nothing, but Gui Shiyun did not let it go, and continued: "When I was a child, I read Tai Shigong's "Historical Records". Xiaobang Zhou destroyed the merchants in Dayi, and he sealed his descendants. Honored relatives, we have a world of eight hundred years. This time you finally left Chang'an and led the army to the east, why don't you think more about your children and grandchildren!"

"How much should your children and grandchildren think about it? Haha!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "It's too early for what you said. Duke Zhou was able to divide the world because of the virtues accumulated by the three generations of King Wen, King Wu and Duke Zhou, as well as his great contribution to destroying the Yin and Shang Dynasties. Do this. How can I dare to do this? If your virtue is not matched, you will suffer disaster. For now, let’s think about how to destroy Silla and put down the Liaodong rebellion!"

Hearing Wang Wenzuo's rejection, Gui Shiyun was not upset. She knew that Wang Wenzuo was a very sophisticated man. He was often courteous and cautious in words but bold in his actions. What she just said was just to test the other person's mind. . After all, who in the world doesn't love their children and doesn't want to leave their life savings to the next generation? Wang Wenzuo is no exception. The only difference is that he is too capable and has too many children, so it is not that simple to pass on the family business. .

The two of them lay side by side on the bed for a while, and Wang Wenzuo suddenly asked: "Is it true that so many people complained to me at the banquet today?"

Hearing Wang Wenzuo finally ask, Gui Shiyun smiled: "Of course it is true. They have been your bosses for many years. Don't you still trust them?"

"It's not that I can't believe it, it's just that I have been in Chang'an these years and don't know much about the situation in Baekje!" Wang Wenzuo sighed: "I didn't expect them to live so hard!"

Gui Shiyun laughed and turned over: "You really think so? That's fine. When He Bayong and Yuan Aolie come in a few days, you can even it out for them, that's it! "

"Even! How to even it out?"

"Isn't it just a matter of asking He Bayong and Yuan Aoli to spit out some, and give some to the Baekje people to eat?"

"I bet you are asking me to engage in 'transfer payments'!" Wang Wenzuo slandered. Of course he knew that the "uniformity" Gui Shiyun said was probably what Shen Fenseng and the others meant, but the most taboo thing in politics is forcing people to make concessions. out of one's own interests. Shen Fenseng and the others felt that they were facing Silla alone, and the resources of Baekje's homeland were not as vast as those of Japan, so they suffered a loss. However, He Bayong and Yuan Aoli felt that Japan's territory was large and the resources were abundant, but this was because of their hard work over the years. As a result of the operation, Shen Fanseng and others were unable to defeat the Silla people, but they had to cut off their flesh to compensate. Isn't this ridiculous? Naturally, people's opinions will be different depending on their positions. Although I am the master, if I favor one side too much, even if the injured party succumbs due to his own prestige, he will definitely remember it and become a hidden danger.

"What's wrong, Sanlang, do you think what I said is wrong?" Ghost Room Yun felt something was wrong and asked carefully.

"It's not wrong! The samurai and peasants here in Baekje are living a hard life. It will definitely not work if they are allowed to go to war with the Silla people like this. However, this is not the fault of the Japanese country. It will be at the expense of the Japanese country. It’s not right to come to compensate!”

"Then what do you mean?"

"Let's wait for a while. When the Japanese reinforcements arrive and some things are understood clearly, we can then consider the next step!"

——————————————————————————————

Namba Kyo.

"The samurai from various countries have basically arrived!" Fujiwara Fubi said: "The ones from the Middle East are gathered in Namba Kyo, while those from the Western countries are gathered in Tsukushi. They are divided into four teams, which will be at the end of this year, the beginning of next year, the end of next summer, Cross the sea next autumn and attack Silla! The general of the first team will be General Heba, and the second general will be Mononobe Renxiong!"

"How many troops are there in the first team?" Yan Liang asked.

"Two thousand infantry and seven hundred cavalry!" Fujiwara Fubi replied: "They are selected warriors from Kyushu and Fengguo!"

"Then I will follow this team!" Yan Liang said: "Including my guards, there are [-] cavalry!"

"This -" Fujiwara said in a hurry: "Your Majesty, you should guard Namba Kyo, right? You can also go to Chikushi Tachibana Hiroshi Palace. We can wait until the second team or the third team to cross the sea!"

"The second and third teams? Wouldn't that have to wait until next year? Maybe Silla will have been destroyed by dad by then, so what else can I do if I go?" Yan Liang said.

"Your Majesty, as a king, what you should do most is to sit in the center and make your subjects feel at ease, rather than going into battle to fight!" Fujiwara Fubi said: "You should think more about these sixty-six countries, the land given by the gods. If you If anything happens, who can make this place peaceful?"

"That's right!" Mononobu Lianxiong nodded: "The inner minister is right. We are from the military family, and it is our duty to cross the sea to conquer Silla under the orders of His Highness Taizheng. But you are the foundation of a country. Six The sixteen countries all depend on your favor, how can you act lightly?"

"Yes, what Fujiwara-don said makes sense!"

"Your Majesty agrees with what Fujiwara-dono said!" The ministers in the palace expressed their attitudes one after another, and almost unanimously agreed with Fujiwara's suggestion. If you observe carefully, you will find that almost all of the people who expressed their opinions were people from the Japanese country, such as He Bayong, Guest generals such as Yuan Aolie and Sha Zha Xiangru hardly expressed their opinions, and the situation was quite delicate.

"Everyone!" Yuan Aolie coughed: "What the chamberlain said is indeed right, but have you ever thought that the general who led the army to conquer Silla this time is your Majesty's father? How can a father lead an army on an expedition while his son What’s the point of sitting on the sidelines and watching?”

"How old is your Majesty? You can't wear armor. Even if you go into battle, what can you do?"

Arimoto Aolie started, and everyone in the palace immediately started arguing. Generally speaking, the Japanese officials were on the side of Fujiwara Fubi and opposed Yanliang to follow the first team of reinforcements to cross the sea. Some simply thought that Yanliang would only be in Tsukushi Palace to supervise the troops crossing the sea. That’s it, there’s no need to cross the sea at all. Most of the guests and generals from Tang Dynasty and Baekje supported Yanliang in crossing the sea to Baekje. The differences between the two sides are not accidental. In the final analysis, they are based on interests. For Fujiwara and others, although they have supported Yanliang's throne and Wang Wenzuo's reforms of the Japanese country, they are not too active in sending troops across the sea, let alone Let Yan Liang risk crossing the sea. The reason for this is also attributed to Wang Wenzuo: The Yamato Dynasty established by the immigrants relied on immigrants and technology input from the mainland. Therefore, starting from the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Yamato Dynasty continued to send troops to the "Four Rena Counties" located at the end of the Korean Peninsula. ", hoping to use that as a stepping stone to enter the East Asian continent. Prince Zhongda's sending troops to support Fuyu Fengzhang's "restoration" was one of the many attempts of the Yamato Dynasty.

Wang Wenzuo's military victory on the Korean Peninsula and the conquest of the Japanese kingdom completely changed this momentum: the Japanese nobles, who had personally experienced the huge military advantages of the Tang Dynasty, turned their expansion efforts eastward and began to focus on the northeastern part of Honshu Island, Hokkaido Island, Ryukyu Island and other places, and the introduction of new sea ships and navigation technology allowed the Japanese to import various commodities and advanced technologies from the East Asian continent through maritime trade. Under such circumstances, the local Japanese nobles were naturally no longer active in sending troops to the Korean Peninsula, let alone risking leaving no successors to the unification and allowing Yan Liang to cross the sea in person.

As for the guests and generals from the Korean Peninsula and the Tang Dynasty, although they have occupied a large area of ​​land and various interests in the Japanese country, in the final analysis, they cannot compare with the local supporters represented by Fujiwara Fubi in terms of numbers and foundation. Compare. So for them, ensuring that Yanliang's "mainland" content is a matter of life and death. What could deepen the "mainland" component more than Yan Liang's personal trip to the Korean Peninsula? On the surface, the dispute between the two sides is about the safety of the Japanese king, but in fact it is about the safety of the "local faction" and the "foreign faction".

"Everyone, be quiet!" He Bayong finally spoke. He had a special status. Wang Wenzuo had entrusted him with the affairs of the Japanese country before leaving. Not only was he ranked first among the guest generals, but he was also like Fujiwara Fubi and others. He was also sitting below him. As soon as he opened his mouth, the hall suddenly became silent.

"Whether you go or not and when you go is ultimately your Majesty's business. We are just ministers and can only give advice and have no right to make decisions for your Majesty. Otherwise, how can we talk about the way of a monarch and his ministers?" He Bayong said with a smile. There was a slight pause: "But I also think His Majesty Fujiwara is right. Crossing the sea with the first team is a bit risky, and the sea will be windy and it is not suitable to cross the sea. How about this, His Majesty will go to Chikushi with the first team first. Brother Monobe and I will lead the first team across the sea first. Once everything is settled over there, it won’t be too late for His Majesty to get on the boat and cross the sea again! What do you think?”

With He Bagong's status, as soon as he spoke, the hall immediately fell silent. Fujiwara Bubi thought for a moment and nodded: "What He Bagong said is appropriate, I agree!"

Fujiwara Bubi nodded, and other Japanese ministers also agreed. He Bayong turned around and said to Yanliang, who was among the superiors: "Your Majesty, all the ministers agree, what do you think?"

"Then, let's do it!"

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

Zhou stayed in the city.

"Sanlang, there's a letter from He Bayong!" Master Shen presented the letter: "Look!"

"Well!" Wang Wenzuo opened the letter and scanned it quickly: "Divided into four teams, he leads the first team? How is this possible? Mr. Lu, please reply a letter for me and let He Bayong sit in charge of Zhuzi and use the boat The division will cruise along the coast of Silla to divide its forces, and the leader of the first team will be replaced by Sha Zha Xiangru!"

"Yes!" Lu Zhaolin put the pen at the table and presented it to him after a while. Wang Wenzuo looked at it and said, "Yes, stamp it with my seal and send it out immediately!"

"Sanlang, do you plan to share the power of the Silla people?" Shen Faseng said with a smile.

"Yeah!" Wang Wenzuo smiled: "It's just Silla, how can we use all our strength? Besides, the next king of Silla is Brother Renshou. If he is defeated in a mess, his face will not look good by then!"

"Just a Silla?" Wang Wenzuo's words sounded a bit bitter to Shen Faneng's ears. This man had stayed in Chang'an for several years and gave people a strange feeling. Is he still the same person in the past?
  "Dharma monk!" Wang Wenzuo looked at the map for a while: "Do you have any smugglers under you?"

"Smuggler?" Shen Faseng was stunned: "What are you asking about-?"

"He is a guy who knows how to drive a small boat, cross the narrow promontory, climb onto the land, and do all kinds of invisible things on a moonless night! Do you have it?"

"If they are the kind of people you are talking about, there are quite a few of them in the dungeons of Zhouliucheng!" Master Shen laughed: "What do you want them to do?"

"Messenger!" Wang Wenzuo waved his hand: "Mr. Lu, bring over what I asked you to write!"

"Follow your orders!" Lu Zhaolin ran over quickly, holding two pieces of mulberry paper in his hand: "Please take a look at it, General Jun!"

"What am I reading? What you wrote must be good!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "Read it to everyone!"

Lu Zhaolin responded and began to recite. This was a proclamation. The general meaning was to attack the king of Silla, Jin Beomin, for his improper position, disrespect for the great country, and causing trouble. Then he greatly praised Jin Renwen's achievements and virtues, and finally claimed that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty had appointed Jin Renwen as the king of Silla, and would soon send a large army to conquer. If you remain stubborn, your jade and stone will be burned to the ground. With Lu Zhaolin's writing power, the words he wrote are naturally beautiful, and people can't help but admire him after listening to them.

"What do you think?" Wang Wenzuo asked everyone in the room with a smile: "I plan to have three hundred copies copied first, and then send a few boats along the coast of Silla, each boat carrying a box of letters, and each seat Send a letter to every manor house and fishing village in the port, and nail the letter to the door of the temple and the village chief's house so that anyone who can read can see it."

"General!" Hei Te Changzhi showed a wry smile: "Mr. Lu's article is very good, but I think to be able to understand it, I'm afraid literacy alone is not enough!" (End of Chapter)
