Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes
Chapter 735 The King Arrives
"What about the hostages sent by the Silla people?" Di Renjie asked.
"Send him to Dinglin Temple in Sixi City and teach him just like Wang Pu and others did before. Don't treat him harshly!" Wang Wenzuo said.
Monk Shen Fa said: "Sanlang, Silla and Baekje have been feuding for hundreds of years. Many of the fathers and brothers of these Silla hostages have life-and-death feuds with Baekje. If they are sent to Jeongrim Temple, even if they are warned, there is no guarantee that they will not survive." There will be people looking for revenge! Why not send it to Namba Kyo!"
"That's true!" Wang Wenzuo nodded. He asked for hostages from Silla not only to hold Silla nobles hostage and avoid their capriciousness; but also to train and select talents loyal to his side and send them back to Silla in the future. Aim to control the country from within. If you want to achieve the above purpose, it will be counterproductive if you let your subordinates abuse these hostages.
"Sanlang, I have something that I don't know whether to say or not!" Shen Faseng hesitated for a moment and gritted his teeth.
"What should we say between you and me?" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if you say it!"
"Then I will boldly say it!" Shen Fanseng glanced at Di Renjie. Di Renjie immediately stepped aside calmly. Shen Fanseng then whispered: "Sanlang, I have worked hard in Baekje these years, and I am exhausted. I really can't hold on any longer. Now that Silla has been pacified, you still have to go attack Liaodong. Can you arrange a way out for me?"
"A way out?" Wang Wenzuo was stunned when he heard this: "What way out? You and I both serve the imperial court, what kind of way out do you want?"
"This -" Master Shen gritted his teeth: "After the war is over, I want to go to the Japanese country and take turns with He Bayong and the others. I like the climate, water and soil there very much, and I want to retire there!"
"Go to the Japanese country to take care of your old age?" Wang Wenzuo laughed when he heard this: "What you said, Buddhist monk, you are two years younger than me, why are you thinking of taking care of your old age? It's time for a man to make contributions and leave his name in history! "
"Sanlang, I am different from you!" Shen Faseng sighed: "You will definitely leave a name in history in the future, while a small person like me can only think about a beautiful pastoral house and a mellow woman. Since I joined the army, I have served as a soldier for sixteen years. In the past seven years, I have narrowly escaped death seven or eight times. I have twelve or thirteen arrow wounds on my body. My whole body hurts terribly when it comes to rainy days. Now I just want to take advantage of the fact that my body and bones are okay, and I want to live in peace for a few more days. day!"
"Okay!" Wang Wenzuo could only nod his head when he heard this: "Since you said so, I will naturally agree. Don't worry, when this battle is over, you can choose a territory with beautiful scenery and rich products in the Japanese country. country, how about I ask Yan Liang to make you a hereditary minister of state, and you will live there until you grow old?"
"Okay, okay!" Master Shen was overjoyed when he heard Wang Wenzuo's promise: "Thank you very much, Sanlang!"
"Brother, what are you thanking me for!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "It's just a small country to repay you for your contribution to following me all these years! I originally wanted you to go to Yangzhou for retirement, and I'm away from you there. My hometown is closer, and I am used to the customs and customs. But since you want to go to Japan, that’s up to you. Anyway, shipbuilding technology will get better and better in the future. It only takes a month or two to go from Japan to Yangzhou, so you can travel frequently. !”
"Sanlang!" Master Shen was a little moved when he heard this: "Don't work too hard. To be honest, the emperor of the Li family is mean to others. If you pacify Silla, there is no need to worry about the rest of Liaodong. Fighting Three to five years is not too much!"
"Three to five years? Are you asking me to support the bandits and respect themselves!" Wang Wenzuo laughed: "Fang Monk, you don't have to worry about me, I have my own ideas. This time I send troops to Liaodong, I am not just for the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. It is also for ourselves and for future generations. A hundred years from now, the swamps and dense forests you talk about will turn into fertile farmland and villages, where chickens and dogs can hear each other, and we will create a new Tang Dynasty, a new Tang Dynasty! This is my goal!"

Zhouliucheng, port.
"Look, what is that?" the sentry suddenly exclaimed on the observation deck. The alarmed officer looked in the direction of the soldier's finger and saw a column of smoke rising in the distance, which only meant one thing - —There is a strange fleet entering the mouth of the Baijiang River, going upstream, and this usually means that it is the enemy.
"Blow the horn, blow the horn immediately!" the officer shouted: "Quick, quick, move faster!"
"Yes!" There was a sudden commotion on the observation deck, and horns rang through the sky. Seeing the chaotic dock below, a soldier asked in confusion: "It can't possibly be a Silla ship, right? It wasn't a few days ago. Do you think everyone in Silla has surrendered?"
"Go and wind up the scorpion!" The officer gave the soldier who asked the question a kick: "If you have the strength to work, don't be here if you don't have any!"
While Zhouliu City was in chaos, a fleet was slowly entering the mouth of the Baijiang River and going upstream. The main mast of the flagship was embroidered with a chrysanthemum emblem, which meant that it was the ship of the Japanese king.
"Your Majesty, this is the mouth of Baijiang River!" Lord Shou Dashi said solemnly: "If you walk upstream for half a day, you will reach Zhouliucheng!"
"Baijiangkou? Zhouliucheng?" Yan Liang held on to the side, looked at the scenery on both sides, and asked: "This is where Aweng led the army to defeat the army of Fuyu Fengzhang and the Katsuragi rebels, right?"
"That's right!" Shoujun Dashi replied: "At that time, there were dozens of corpses floating on the river, and the smoke columns rising from the burning boats could be seen clearly from more than ten miles away. It was like the Abi Hell appeared in the world, and I will never forget it even after so many years!"
"Well, that scene must be spectacular!" Yan Liang nodded: "By the way, Shou Junqing, you must have made a lot of military exploits at that time, right?"
"This——, I was ordered to take care of the wounded soldiers at that time, so I didn't make any military exploits!" Shoujun Oishi suddenly turned red when asked. During the Battle of Shirakangkou, he and Mononobe Renxiong were at the same level. Squatting in the rear of the Japanese army, they did not turn against the enemy until the situation became clear and the Tang army was basically certain of victory. Naturally, he would never mention such a disgraceful thing, and no one would be stupid enough to say it to his face. But he didn't expect to be questioned by Yan Liang face to face. It was really embarrassing, so he had to prevaricate.
"Shou Junqing, taking in wounded soldiers is also a military achievement!" Yan Liang said with a smile. Suddenly he listened to the wind: "Hey! Why are there so many drums and trumpets? Could it be that Aweng knew that I was coming and sent someone to welcome me? !”
"This doesn't quite look like it! It's more like an alarm sounding when an enemy attack occurs!" Shoujun Oishi listened, and his face changed slightly. It turned out that Yanliang heard the news of victory constantly coming from Tsukushi, and no longer waited for the next day. The second team crossed the sea and took six sea boats with their own guards to cross the sea.
"Enemy attack? Alarm?" Yanliang was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized: "Did they regard us as incoming enemy troops?"
"It's very possible!" Shoujun Dashi said: "You didn't inform this side when you came. Naturally, they didn't know that you were coming. Suddenly, several heavily armed ships appeared. At this time, of course, the defenders You will think you are an enemy!"
"Then my ship clearly has the royal family's coat of arms! How could they get it wrong?" Yan Liang asked anxiously.
"Your Majesty, this is Xiongjin, and the local defenders may not recognize your badge!"
After being reminded by Shoujun Oishi, Yanliang also realized that the ships he had chosen this time were all high-grade warships with long, narrow hulls and strong strength. The ships also had weapons such as crossbows and horns. Anyone who was not blind could see that. This was definitely not a merchant ship or a fishing boat. It was not surprising that the local guards could not recognize the chrysanthemum emblem on the main sail. Hearing this, he couldn't help but became anxious: "Then, what should we do?" "Your Majesty, don't worry!" Shoujun Dashi said: "We can find a place with deep water and wide river to lower the sails and anchor first to show that there is no Hostility, then send an envoy to communicate with him in a small boat and express his intention!"
"Okay, that's all we can do!"
------------------
Zhou stayed in the city.
"What? The incoming ship is not an enemy, but the son of the general, the Japanese King Yanliang?" Wang Peng stood up and asked, "Are you sure it's true? Why weren't you notified in advance?"
"This is the Japanese talisman that the envoy took out!" The officer who communicated the message replied: "As for the lack of advance notice, the envoy said that the Japanese king heard about the good news on the front line and was eager to see his father, so he took a boat to cross the sea in advance. Yes! This is a handwritten letter from Oishi, the Japanese general on the ship!"
"Shou Jun Dashi? By the way, I remember that there are still his letters in the study. Let's compare the handwriting!" Wang Peng asked someone to get the letters and compared them before confirming: "It's really his, who's here, Quickly prepare the drums to welcome the son of the general!"
pier.
Yanliang stepped off the pedal, and he noticed that the "Ode to Peace" played by the band was a little out of tune. Most of the people on both sides of the road were fishermen, porters, and craftsmen. These people with disheveled hair and ragged clothes looked at him curiously. This It made him a little unhappy. If they were in the Japanese country, they would have been driven dozens of steps away by their own guards, not to mention staring at him curiously like this, as if they were watching some kind of special animal.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for my fault! I didn't know it was you! So -" Wang Peng bowed and saluted. He had long heard of the reputation of the boy in front of him. Wang Wenzuo had many sons, but this one was undoubtedly the most obscure. It is a wise choice to show due respect to someone he values.
"It's okay, where is Aweng?" Yanliang asked.
"The general has pacified Silla and has not returned yet!" Wang Piao replied: "I have sent an urgent envoy to pass on the news of your arrival!"
"Very good!" Yanliang nodded with satisfaction: "If possible, let me live where Aweng lives, and I'll wait there for him to come back!"

Zhouliucheng, the old royal palace.
"Ayun, Ayun, something big happened, something big happened!" Ah Cheng rushed into the room quickly, loud enough for everyone in the corridor to hear clearly.
"What happened? Why are you like this?" Gui Shiyun sat lazily in the rocking chair next to the fireplace: "Isn't it going to be some time before the general comes back?"
"Wang Wenzuo didn't come, but his son is here!" Acheng said anxiously: "He still wants to live where his father lives, but didn't his father live here with you when he was in Zhouliu?"
"Wang Wenzuo's son is here?" Maybe it was because he had been roasting for too long, but Gui Shiyun was still a little dizzy: "Which son?"
"Who else can there be? It's him and that Japanese girl, the current Japanese king!" Acheng said anxiously: "Get up and clean up quickly, they will be here soon!"
As if to prove the authenticity of Acheng's words, as soon as Acheng finished speaking, there was a burst of encouragement from outside, which made the windows buzz. Gui Shiyun stood up quickly, almost stammering when she spoke: "Are you talking about that Yanliang? Why did he come to my place?"
"What else could it be for?" Acheng asked anxiously: "He is now half of Wang Wenzuo's legitimate son, and you are Wang Wenzuo's concubine. What good things can a legitimate son do by meeting his concubine?"
Gui Shiyun came to her senses completely, and she quickly stood up from the rocking chair: "Quickly, help me clean up, let's go to the door to greet you!"
Gui Shiyun had never been so flustered in her life, not even on her wedding night. She even wore the wrong shoes twice. Despite this, she still did not rush to intercept this uninvited guest at the door. When she met Yanliang, it was already the entrance to the inner courtyard.
"Aunt Yun, can I call you that!" The young man in the courtyard bowed politely to Gu Shi Yun: "I came uninvited, please forgive me for being rude!"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, of course!" Gui Shiyun stuttered in her answer. She even wondered if her rouge was too thick. Damn it, why should she be panicked? She knew Wang Lang earlier than the child's mother. Moreover, his mother had died a long time ago, so there was no need for him to be like this.
"You don't have to call me that, I'm just here as my father's son!" Yanliang smiled: "If you don't mind, you can call me Yanliang!"
"Yanliang?" Gui Shiyun asked in an uncertain tone.
"Yes, the eldest princess also called me that at the beginning!" At this point, a trace of sadness flashed across Yanliang's face: "It would be great if I could hear her call me that again!"
"Eldest princess, are you Li Xiayu?" Gui Shiyun sighed: "Hey, she is also a poor person. When she returned to Chang'an, I was happy for the sisters. I thought she could return home in fine clothes, but I didn't expect what happened later. .”
"I want to ask my father for something this time. I want to go to Chang'an, meet with the emperor, and bring the eldest princess's bones back to Namba, so that I can worship them all the time!"
"Please come back to Namba Kyo?" Onimuro Yun was surprised: "She is the emperor's sister, I'm afraid the emperor won't agree, right?"
"I will ask again and again. If the emperor doesn't agree, I will steal her bones and bones even if they are stolen!" Yan Liang said: "The eldest princess told me that she didn't have enough food or clothing to keep her warm all day long in Chang'an. She was so scared. , she never lived a happy day; and she was very happy every day when she was with us in Namba Kyo. I think if she has a soul in heaven, she would definitely want to return to Namba Kyo and be with us!"
