Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 388 Happy betraying the country to express one’s sincerity
Yitong passed the test of ambition, and Chen Qingsi began to make the final intervention in the Japanese country.

Chen Qingsi called Quan Shang Santian to the military camp.

As soon as Quan Shang Santian entered the tent, he shouted in his heart: "Not good!"

Because there is another person in the big tent, it is the inconspicuous monk Yitong.

At this moment, he was sitting under the tent, looking at himself without fear.

What makes Monk Yitong inconspicuous is not his talent, but his background.

He is an orphan abandoned outside the temple. He has no identity and background. He only has a certain status in Horyu Temple by virtue of his knowledge of Buddhism.

If he hadn't volunteered before, Yitong wouldn't have gotten into his eyes.

But because of his own initiative, Inugami Mita Shu discovered his hidden ambition.

This is also the reason for neglecting him...

But don't want to...

Inu Shang San Tian Shu kowtowed quietly.

It was rare for Chen Qingsi to let Inugami Santian sit down.

In the past, one person sat down to ask questions and the other stood up to answer questions, so there was no chance of being seated.

Dog Shang San Tian Shu felt even more uneasy and felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

Chen Qingsi said: "The purpose of recruiting Minister Zuo today is to find the crown prince of Japan. As you said, a country cannot be without a king for a day. The reason why I have been undecided on this matter is that I dare not make an easy decision. I am worried about choosing a big brother like this. The traitors will cause your country to suffer again?”

Inugami Mita Shu said quickly: "Yes."

Chen Qingsi said: "After these days of inspection, I feel that Prince Mosquito House is suitable, so let's choose him. I will recommend him as the prince first, and I will bear witness. As for when to become king, we have to wait for the emperor's canonization edict to be issued. "

The royal relatives of the Japanese country were originally called princes, but now Chen Qingsi has kicked the Japanese country's national standard, and everyone from top to bottom has to fall down a generation.

The princes were also changed to princes.

Chen Qingsi's tone was not that of discussing with Inugami Santian. Inugami Santian was heartbroken, but he didn't dare to disobey.

Chen Qingsi showed off the military of the Tang Dynasty to them that day, which also made him further realize the gap. The Tang army on the Japanese island alone was enough to sweep the entire Japanese country.

In such a situation, we have no choice but to act.

It's just that... Inugami Mita was terrified.

Chen Qingsi obviously wants to promote Monk Yitong, and his current power will definitely become a stumbling block for him, and his life may be in danger.

Chen Qingsi said pointedly: "I need someone as an envoy to go to the capital to meet the emperor, and to bring the sincerity of the Japanese country to the capital with the sinners. I looked left and right, and only Minister Zuo is the most suitable."

Inugami Mita Shu's eyes lit up, he had been thinking that his hard work these days would become the wedding dress of Monk Yoshitoshi. But I don’t expect that there will be a bright future in the dark.

Staying in the Japanese country means there is no life but death. It is also a great pleasure to be able to go to the place of your dreams and enjoy the last life in your lifetime.

"The dog is willing to take on this responsibility."

Facing the Supreme Emperor Chen Qingsi, Inugami Mita Shu did not say a word "no".

All the handovers were smooth, and with Chen Qingsi here, no one could cause trouble.

The monk Yitong also appeared on the political stage of Japan.

Before Chen Qingsi asked, Yitong, an ambitious monk, did a series of things independently.

For example, the country professed its vassal status to the Tang Dynasty, adopted the title of the Central Plains era, and used Kaiyuan Tongbao as its main currency. A series of actions were in line with Silla, and Kneeling was taken to the extreme.

Yitong is a smart man. He knows what Chen Qingsi needs and his own position, so he does not hesitate to confirm his identity.

There is someone behind me...

If you don't accept it, hold it in, and want to resist, then you will be destroyed. If you can't beat it, it's okay. Just call daddy.

A set of processes, master Yitong, self-taught without a teacher.

Chen Qingsi also began to plan to take Shi Jian Yinshan into his hands.

When Chen Qingsi proposed that Japan needed to cede land to several northwest countries and set up a protective palace to arrange military garrison, there was a moment of silence.

Chen Qingsi's face gradually darkened, ready to explode.

Unexpectedly!

Inugami Mita Shu said: "Hizen, Tsukushi, Nagato, Shufang, and Ishimi are all mountainous and desolate places in the northwest. The governor's office is located there, which would have wronged the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty."

Chen Qingsi was dumbfounded for a moment, as if there was something wrong with the way he spoke.

Monk Yitong also said: "Minister Zuo is right. In the areas of Higo, Bunzen, and Bungo, the imperial court can also set up protective palaces. In this way, there will at least be enough farmland for the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty to be self-sufficient."

Chen Qingsi blinked her eyes.

Nakatomi Daiki said at this time: "Otherwise, the Governor can choose to set up the Protectorate in Tsuruga. The waterway there is convenient and Lake Biwa is to the south. The scenery is extremely beautiful."

Chen Qingsi didn't know what to say for a moment.

Seeing the traitors who were naturally enthusiastic, Chen Qingsi felt as if she was in the late Qing Dynasty.

In fact, no wonder Inugami Mita Shu, Yoshitoshi Monk, and Nakatomi Daiki had such an attitude. It really made Chen Qingsi do this, and the Japanese country was too chaotic.

The major internal feudal lords ignored Kinki's orders at all, and they were going to fight each other's wits.

The Hayato clan and the Ezo clan are also expanding their territories...

Internal and external troubles.

Now the central government of Japan is counting on the Heavenly Soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to provide them with protection. They didn't care at all about ceding some land to the Tang army to garrison and build a protective palace. On the contrary, they wanted to ask the Tang army to stay on the Japanese island, so that their safety could be protected.

As for selling or not selling to the country?

The Japanese country was full of disobedient and rebellious feudal lords. Who would not be given that little land?
What's more, the Tang army had the power to overthrow their Japanese country. They did not directly sweep and destroy their Japanese country, but symbolically captured a few unimportant wastelands in the northwest. They agreed that the Japanese country should retain the country. In their view, it was very "reasonable".

If it were them, they would have annexed all the Japanese kingdom.

Chen Qingsi was really moved for a moment, but she gradually understood their thoughts and suppressed her restless heart.

He plans to be the father of Japan, not a bodyguard or nanny.

The Japanese country is in such chaos, involving too many things and not caring about the overall situation.

Just let them eat dog, there is no need to drag yourself into the quagmire at this time.

After the overall situation in Haidong is settled, Tubo is pacified, and there is no longer a threat from the west, we can consider developing eastward.

Chen Qingsi rejected the good intentions of several people, but only asked for the five countries and one island of Tsushima, Hizen, Chikushi, Nagato, Shufang, and Iwami.

The agreement was quickly reached, and Shijian Yinshan was officially owned by Datang.

After this matter was settled, Chen Qingsi had no business in Japan. He was just waiting to receive the imperial decree of canonization from Li Zhi and attend the enthronement ceremony of the new Japanese king on behalf of Li Zhi before returning to Baekje.

Liu Rengui was now in charge of Baekje, and Chen Qingsi was relieved. He had nothing to do all day long, so he took Tang Jun to hunt and play in the surrounding area.

Some drunkards don't care about drinking.

"Ms. Li! Here..." Chen Qingsi handed the roasted rabbit legs to Li Hongqing.

Since that day, she said, "Ms. Li's heroic appearance and stunning beauty make people fall in love with her."

When Li Hongqing faced Chen Qingsi, he was obviously a little more shy.

As a rare beauty, Li Hongqing is somewhat confident in her appearance. When she followed the Qiu Hu Ke around the world, she often impressed the young knights.

It's just that Li Hongqing has a strong identity and background, and has extraordinary swordsmanship, which is beyond the reach of others. Most people regard her as a heavenly being and respect her very much.

But no matter how beautiful a person is, she will always be a little timid when it comes to her sweetheart. What's more, Chen Qingsi's first wife is graceful, graceful, and extremely beautiful, so she doesn't dare to think too much about it.

He just warned himself in his heart that when Chen Qingsi was out of danger, he would leave immediately to avoid getting deeper into trouble.

But the phrase "people are attracted to you" made her think a little bit more.

Does this "fascinating" include the person speaking?

"Ah...ok!" Li Hongqing reached out and took it. He wanted to eat it in a big mouth, but the meat was next to his mouth, so he took a small bite and chewed it slowly.

Chen Qingsi smiled and said: "I've blown it, it's not hot."

Li Hongqing gritted his teeth and took a big bite. When he saw the instigator, he smiled mischievously, thinking that he was no longer himself, and cast an angry glance.

Chen Qingsi said: "Wait a minute, how about we find a place to discuss things?"

Chen Qingsi is good at martial arts and is not weak, but he rarely shows off his martial arts skills, and only a few people know his true strength.

Li Hongqing's beautiful eyes lit up, and she wanted to leave immediately, but she couldn't bear to part with the rabbit leg meat in her hands, so she agreed in one bite.

While waiting for Li Zhi's imperial edict.

"Grand Governor!"

Nakatomi Daiki walked over in high spirits, then nodded and bowed with a flattering smile on his face.

Chen Qingsi never treats his own people badly.

Nakatomi Daiki performed well, and Chen Qingsi asked him to succeed him as the governor of the Nakatomi family, becoming an important minister in Kinki.

Zhongchen Dahui, an unloved concubine, became the governor of Zhongchen's family and was extremely grateful to Chen Qingsi.

Similarly, Nakatomi Daehui "betrayed" the Japanese country, resulting in the death of 40,000 Japanese soldiers in Baekje. If he, the family governor, did not have the support of the Tang Dynasty, he would not be able to secure his position as the family governor.

The two of them are now the left minister and the right minister, assisting Prince Mosquito to deal with the Japanese Zhengwu.

"How did you come?"

Chen Qingsi was a little surprised. The right minister, Zhongchen Dahui, was actually a decoration. He was mediocre in talent and was not as ambitious as Monk Yitong and could take on big responsibilities.

But he was born in the Nakatomi clan, the most famous priest family in Japan...

Monk Yitong does practical things, while Nakatomi Daiki leads the court officials and enjoys life.

Nakatomi Daihui said: "In Tsuruga County, we captured a secret envoy who came to Goguryeo. This person came to our country, Japan, to discuss an alliance to deal with the Chinese Empire on the orders of Goguryeo's Da Mo Li Zhi Yuan Gaesumun. "

Chen Qingsi became interested and said, "Is there still such a thing?"

Zhongchen Dahui said: "My subordinates have understood that when the rebel eldest brother gathered his troops in Asukakyo, he did secretly meet with the Goguryeo envoy. What was said specifically is not clear. But they had a pleasant conversation. Someone Seeing them drinking and chatting in the palace, it seems that this is the fate of the envoy... The Celestial Empire occupied Tsushima Island, and the safest route between the two sides was that the envoy could only go northward from Tsuruga Port. Unexpectedly, he encountered it. The strong wind knocked Wakasa down and almost killed him. After finally recovering his health, the governor had already used the power of thunder to determine the overall situation of the Japanese country. "

"This envoy no longer dares to act as an envoy. He can only pretend to be a businessman and wait until next spring when the water flow calms down to go north, and let someone catch him..."

Chen Qingsi said: "Bring the people and hand them over to Zhao Gueryi."

He is now very confident in Zhao Chiman's interrogation skills. If he encounters this kind of thing, throw it to him first. As long as he is not that kind of dead soldier, he will probably be able to pry something out of his mouth.

Soon, Zhao Chiman led the Goguryeo envoy who looked like a dead dog to ask for an audience.

"Grand Governor, this guy confessed in a few moments without any interrogation."

He still had some unfinished ideas.

Chen Qingsi smiled and said: "Thank you for your hard work. I am just a messenger and not a skilled craftsman. How can I withstand your methods."

As he spoke, he looked at the Goguryeo envoy, whose legs were weak and who was sitting cross-legged like mud, and said, "I'll ask you a question and I'll answer you. If you hesitate for a moment, I'll let you be interrogated for another hour."

"What's your name?"

"Gawain!"

"What official position do you hold in Goguryeo?"

"Gu Zou Dajia!"

Chen Qingsi frowned. He was not familiar with the official positions in Goguryeo and didn't know what Gu Zou Dajia did.

Seeing Chen Qingsi frowning, Gao Wen actually shuddered and said hurriedly: "The official who is in charge of guests is like the Honglu Qing of the Central Plains."

"No!" Chen Qingsi said: "What are you doing in Japan?"

Gao Wen meal.

Chen Qingsi looked at Zhao Chiman.

Gawain was so frightened that he shouted: "We are here to persuade Japan to form an alliance with our country. Da Mo Li Zhi and Da Dui Lu intend to unite Silla and Japan to deal with Tang Ting."

Chen Qingsi narrowed his eyes and said: "Goguryeo and Silla, that is a century-old feud."

Gao Wen said: "I think so too. It was Da Duilu who said that Haidong is Haidong's business. No matter how chaotic and hostile the internal affairs are, it is not the turn of outsiders to get involved. He said that the kings and ministers of Silla were all ambitious and talented people. Tang Jun Holding Baekje will ruin all their plans. It is possible to put aside their hatred temporarily and fight against Tang Ting together. "

Chen Qingsi asked: "Do you know Silla's reply?"

Gawain shook his head and said: "I don't know, the one who went to Silla as envoy was Master Hui'an. We are on different paths and we don't know his situation."

Chen Qingsi tapped his fingers on the desk a few times and waved his hand to have him escorted off.

As for what he talked about with the Japanese country, Chen Qingsi did not ask in detail. Brother Zhongda and Dahairen were both prisoners of the subordinates. No matter how beautiful the talk with them was, it was just empty talk.

The key now is Silla's attitude.

Chen Qingsi thought about it carefully...

Little did he know that it was in Luoyang, thousands of miles away.

The permanent envoy of Silla, Jin Made, the concubine of King Jin Chunqiu of Silla, knelt down in front of Li Zhi and said, "Kowtow to the sky, His Majesty the Emperor Khan!"

"Without courtesy, why do you want to see me?"

Li Zhi was in a very good mood. The battle report of Chen Qingsi's triumphant victory had been conveyed. The Japanese island was wiped out in one battle, allowing people all over the world to feel the glory of the Tang Dynasty again.

Why should all barbarians inside and outside be killed if they dare to call themselves soldiers?
This is!
A mere island country dares to send troops on its own.

You deserve this.

Thinking that Chen Qingsi's memorial had already stated that the mine had been discovered, I couldn't help but swallow the saliva in my mouth.

Jin Ma De said: "Back to your majesty, Goguryeo Yeongesuwen sent a secret envoy to Silla, intending to unite Silla and our country, and gather the power of the three countries to fight against the Celestial Empire. Our king is furious, and his loyalty to your majesty is beyond the reach of heaven and earth. I will chop off the person's head immediately and send someone to the capital to express my feelings."
