People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 600 Princess Izumi, King Igano

The sun was setting and the sky was dusk.

A small group of red-clothed and gold-armored Qianniuwei finally came down from Lingyin Temple to the foot of the mountain.

Li Xuan, who was walking in the front, stopped slightly, then turned to look in the direction of Lingyin Temple, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

At this moment, on the official road opposite, there was another small group of Qianniu Guards, escorting Yu Ze from afar.

Soon, Yu Ze stopped in front of Li Xuan, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I wonder if the matter on the mountain is safe?"

"It's still early, Japanese people are not so easy to take the bait, and now it's just that both sides have intentions. Let's go back to the Governor's Mansion," Li Xuan patted the horse fiercely, and the next moment, a group of people quickly headed towards Hangzhou City. direction.

After the group left, only people in twos and threes came up the mountain from the foot of the mountain.

……

On the high mountain, a petite figure watched Li Xuan heading towards Yangzhou City from a distance.

Under the cute bun, there are a pair of bright eyes and cheeks with some baby fat.

Wearing a black nocturnal suit, the girl looked a bit dainty, her small nose was wrinkled, and the next moment, she stomped fiercely towards the ground, a white smoke rose instantly, and the dainty girl was gone in the same place .

A moment later, another white smoke rose from the Shifang Garden of Lingyin Temple.

The charming girl appeared again, then bowed to Daozhen and said, "Master!"

"It's Ah Quan!" Daozhen raised his head gently, looked at the young girl Ah Quan, waved his hands, and asked kindly: "How, the King of Nanchang is gone?"

"Yes!" The charming girl Ah Quan walked quickly to Daozhen, and looked at Daozhen with a worried face: "Master, what is the King of Nanchang looking for you for?"

"Datang wants to cooperate with our country." Daozhen looked at the girl Aquan calmly.

Hearing what Daozhen said, Ah Quan immediately frowned, and said worriedly: "Datang cooperates with the country, so why not cooperate with that rebel Tianwu? With Datang's support, the rebel Tianwu must sit down Stabilize the throne of the king?"

"Prince." Daozhen looked at the little girl Aquan seriously, and warned seriously: "Now in Datang, in this land, there is no such thing as Queen Quan, only the Japanese girl Aquan, so don't always mention it. King Tianwu was called a traitor.

For domestic affairs, we only need to send information, and the decision is made by Tianwu King. "

"Here!" Queen Quan... Ah Quan came over and pulled Douzhen's arm, and said, "Understood, Uncle, Ah Quan should be careful in the future."

Daozhen patted Ah Quan's little hand, and said in a low voice: "If I hadn't been designated as the envoy to Tang Dynasty, I'm afraid I really wouldn't be able to bring you two sisters out of Japan together."

"Yes!" Ah Quan's expression darkened for a while.

"By the way, let's talk about the matter of the King of Nanchang." Daozhen sneered, and said softly, "The King of Nanchang seems to be here this time to discuss with our country the division of Silla, but in fact he is just using our country. In the end, once Tianwu sends troops, he will definitely suffer a disastrous defeat on the East Island, and at that time, Amin will take the opportunity to counterattack and win back Pinghejing in one fell swoop."

"Then, the master has agreed to the king of Nanchang."

"It's not that easy. Just relying on an imperial edict and a few empty words, it's not that easy to get Tianwu to dispatch." Daozhen shook his head and said with a sneer: "This time, even if it's not for Tianwu, but for ourselves, Let Datang pay the price."

There was a trace of cruelty on Daozhen's face, and endless greed flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Standing on the side, Ah Quan did not see this scene, but she had silently nodded in agreement with what Daozhen said.

The fierceness on Daozhen's face disappeared in an instant, he turned his head to look at Aquan and said, "Where is the water master now?"

Aquan immediately said seriously: "Sister is training the ninjas of the Igabe in the mountains."

Daozhen couldn't help but shook his head, and said: "Without the support of the family, it is too difficult to seriously train qualified ninjas. Not everyone has the talent like you and your sister, Aquan."

"If it weren't for the loss of too many manpower in Shendu, we wouldn't be so stretched." Ah Quan's face was slightly ugly.

Daozhen waved his hand, and said with regret on his face: "What happened in Luoyang is my teacher's fault. I didn't expect Tianyin Sect to be so crazy, and dare to make a fuss about the Prince of Tang Dynasty."

"Then Master, the Tianyin Sect has perished, where is the King of the East China Sea?"

"What about the king of the East China Sea? Now we have the imperial edict of the Tang emperor. The Tang family can give us much more than the king of the East China Sea. With the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who cares about the king of the East China Sea?" Daozhen said on his face. Full of disdain.

Their cooperation with the King of the East China Sea was originally an act of taking what they needed, but whether it was the Tianyin Sect or the King of the East China Sea, they were repeatedly defeated by the Tang Dynasty, causing heavy losses to the ally Wa Kingdom. Go to cooperate with the King of the East China Sea.

This is even more so now. During Li Xuan's conversation, although his posture is very high, the real bargaining chip of the matter is in the hands of Wa Guo.

Thinking of this, Daozhen looked at Ah Quan, and said in a deep voice: "A Quan, you should go down the mountain immediately and keep an eye on the King of Nanchang's every move."

"Here!" Ah Quan immediately bowed his hands in agreement, then raised his head and asked: "Master, I'll go and watch Nanchang King, then there will be no one around you, Master, do you want to call sister back?"

"No need, Lord Water, I will arrange for her to go to Yangzhou. I don't know what happened to Prince Jian, but the King of Nanchang came to him?" Dao Zhen's expression became serious unconsciously.

Don't look at Dao Zhen who now travels freely in the Tang Dynasty, especially as a monk, staying in their respective temples at any time, but what they really rely on is the uncle of the former Japanese King Hongwen and the younger brother of the current Japanese King Tianwu. His real name is Prince Jian, but now he is a direct disciple of Hongjing of Daming Temple.

Wuyi was the first batch of envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty, and then became obsessed with Buddhism for some reason, and finally became a monk directly. It was the same, so he was lucky to avoid the many disputes within the Wa Kingdom.

"Aquan knows, Aquan will keep an eye on the King of Nanchang." The girl Aquan bowed slightly to Daozhen, then took a step back and disappeared into the room.

"King Igaye, whether you can regain the power this time depends on whether you can seize this opportunity." Dozen clenched his fist tightly, and also clenched the imperial decree in his hand.

……

In Hangzhou Governor's Mansion, Li Xuan was invited to the official hall by Hangzhou Governor Yuan Jiazuo just after he came back.

Yuan Jiazuo was the only one in the quiet official hall, and he had already arranged for the others to leave.

"Xuan has met the envoy." Li Xuan stood in the hall, slightly bowing his hands to Yuan Jiazuo.

Yuan Jiazuo looked away from the document in front of him, then looked up at Li Xuan, he was relieved to see his expression was calm, and then asked with concern: "My lord, please sit down, I don't know about today's trip, how is the situation?"

Li Xuan sat down opposite Yuan Jiazuo, then looked at him and said, "There are good and bad."

"My lord, please explain in detail." Yuan Jiazuo became serious.

"The good news is that the Wa people have extremely greedy ambitions for Silla. The bad news is that they are too greedy. Your Majesty's promise alone may not be enough. They need more practical things." Li Xuan shook his head slightly, and then compared today and Yuan Jiazuo was informed of the details of the meeting with Monk Daozhen.

What impressed Li Xuan the most about Monk Daozhen was that after he got the imperial decree from the emperor, he held onto it tightly, as if it was some kind of life-saving elixir.

"It's a good thing. I'm afraid they don't want anything. Since I have something to offer, I'll give it to them. Are you afraid that they won't do anything after taking something? My Tang Dynasty's things are not easy to take." Yuan Jiazuo sneered .

"What Yuan Gong said is very true. The Japanese sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty. If the Japanese people dare to act recklessly, then all the Japanese in the Tang Dynasty will be arrested. After that, no matter whether it is mining or building walls, people will always be needed. .” Li Xuan’s mouth curled into a faint smile, silently carrying a trace of cruelty.

It is best to cooperate with the people of the Wa country if it can be achieved. If it cannot be achieved, then it will destroy the way for the country to steal culture from the Tang Dynasty, and even directly kill the country of the Wa country...

"As for the naval division, Captain Ji is already actively preparing, and the prince will get it tomorrow." Having said that, Yuan Jiazuo paused slightly, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked in a low voice: "About the remnants of the king of the East China Sea, do you know?" Does your lord have any other ideas?"

Li Xuan raised her head immediately, staring at Yuan Jiazuo firmly.

Now in the entire southeast, it seems that everyone is concerned about the reinforcement of the East Island, but in fact, the real caring people are all concerned about the follow-up processing of the Yangzhou Shi'an County Government.

It hasn't been long, but many details have been deliberately passed on.

For example, Li Xuan only prohibited the personnel of the Sian County government from entering and leaving, but some people imprisoned the Sian County police.

As for who imprisoned Duke Shi'an, there are people from all major families in the south of the Yangtze River in Yangzhou, so naturally they all know that Xue Zhongzhang is acting under the secret order of Pei Yan, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

No one cares about Xue Zhongzhang's affairs, but now that Li Xuan is in Yangzhou, it is inevitable that some people will feel a little uneasy.

"But someone asked Yuan Gong what?" Li Xuan said lightly, making Yuan Jiazuo's eyes condense.

The look on Yuan Jiazuo's face suddenly calmed down.He smiled and said: "My lord is worrying too much. It's not that someone has hooked up with the King of the East China Sea. It's just that Hangzhou has been harmonious for many years, and everyone doesn't want to break this harmony."

"Actually, this king doesn't want to break the harmony." Li Xuan tapped the table lightly, then looked at Yuan Jiazuo and said, "The matter of the Duke of Shi'an should have been handled by the palace or the Zongzheng Temple, but the Ministry of Punishment is in Yangzhou intervenes, if they can do it in Yangzhou, they can naturally do it in Hangzhou."

After a short pause, Li Xuan looked at Yuan Jiazuo and said, "Mr. Yuan might as well speak for the little king. If anyone has anything to do with the king of the East China Sea, he should take the initiative to explain it. Otherwise, once the people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice find out, it will be my king." It can't be guaranteed either."

"With the words of the prince, the old man can rest assured. If the Wuyue family really has contact with the king of the East China Sea, it is the prince, even this official, and it must be thoroughly dug out." Yuan Jiazuo swore appearance.

Li Xuan smiled, and Yuan Jiazuo also smiled.

It's nothing more than murder.

The aristocratic family has always pursued the strategy of not putting all eggs in one basket.

It is not too difficult for someone to burn the cold stove of Prince Yin Jiancheng's descendants.

But now that this line has been paid attention to by the palace, if the major aristocratic families do not want to be ransacked and exterminated, they can only clean up their own.

This kind of thing, they have never been unfamiliar with it.

The previous bloody family fight in the Xia family is a clear proof.
