Capital Datang

I saw that the other party was short and short, and I knew it was a Japanese at a glance. He was not very old, but he looked about the same as himself, but his appearance was more handsome than when he saw brother Su Wochi before, and he also had a natural nobility on him. He looks like a high-ranking person, but when facing Li Yin, he has an extremely humble attitude.

"You are the eldest brother and prince of the Wa country?" Li Yin glanced at the other party and said in a calm tone.

"His Royal Highness, the minister is right!" The young man named Brother Zhong bowed and said.The country of Wa was greatly influenced by Baekje, and the domestic aristocracy also valued speaking Chinese, so most of the aristocrats have received strict Chinese education. This middle-aged brother is the son of the former Emperor Shumei and the current Emperor Huangji. Naturally, I have also received Chinese education.

"What conditions are you going to use in exchange for my king's support?" Li Yin and the other party came to the living room in the courtyard, and asked again.

Although the eldest brother and prince in front of him has a noble status in the Wa country, he is suppressed by the Suga clan everywhere, so he has long made up his mind to eradicate the Suga clan completely, but it is a pity that the Suga clan is so powerful that he has no influence at all. Opportunity, and the intelligence personnel sent by Wu Meiniang to the country of Wa immediately contacted Brother Zhong after discovering this situation. Only then did the eldest brother, Prince, take the initiative to contact Li Yin's intelligence personnel, and this time he came to Iwami City secretly.Capital Datang 379

Hearing Li Yin being so straightforward, the eldest brother, the prince, did not turn around, and immediately said: "As long as Your Highness is willing to help us destroy the Soga Clan, we are willing to cede Chikushi Island, Iwami Castle and the area to the south that His Highness occupies. At the same time, if you want Ezo Island, Your Highness, we are willing to send troops to help you expel the natives on the island. And we will pay you tribute every year in the future, and the value of the tribute will definitely not be less than 20 guan..."

Brother Zhong talked eloquently, and explained the price he was willing to pay. These conditions were negotiated with the intelligence personnel sent by Wu Meiniang when he was in Asuka, except for the fact that they sent troops to help Li Yin seize Ezo Island afterwards. , the other conditions are similar, even worse than the conditions Li Yin proposed to Brother Su Wochi just now.

But Li Yin nodded after hearing this, as if he was very satisfied with this condition.I saw a smile on his face and said: "Okay. You must have discussed these conditions with my people many times, so I will not increase the price, but if you want to eradicate Suga, you need me. How to cooperate?"

Hearing Li Yin's agreement, Brother Zhong immediately showed a triumphant smile.I saw him take a step forward and whispered: "His Royal Highness, since Su Wo died in the last battle, Su Wo's prestige has plummeted, but he still holds extremely strong military strength in his hands, and this We have been staying in the army for a long time. Although we have contacted many ministers, we have no chance to act. Therefore, we hope that His Highness can delay the negotiation and put forward some conditions that make Suga Eizo unable to make decisions, so that he has to return to the court. Discuss with the ministers, then it is time for us to do it!"

After hearing this, Li Yin smiled and nodded.In fact, Wu Meiniang already knew what Brother Zhong and the others were going to do before, so when she saw Brother Su Wochi just now, she opened her mouth to ask so many conditions, the purpose was not to ask the other party to agree.It was to cooperate with Brother Zhong and their actions in the afternoon.

Immediately, Li Yin agreed to Brother Zhong's proposal, and immediately sent someone to send him out of the city.After all, after he got Li Yin's permission, he still had a lot of things to prepare when he went back, so it was inconvenient to stay here again.As for brother Su Wochi, Li Yin asked Wang An to show a tough attitude and refused to give in at all.

Brother Su Wochi saw that Li Yin proposed such a harsh condition, and he refused to back down at all, which made him unable to make a decision. In the end, he had to send someone to send the conditions proposed by Li Yin to Su Wo Ezo, asking him to make a decision himself.However, Su Wo Eizo didn't want to mention responsibility, after all, if he agreed to such a condition of humiliating power and humiliating the country, he would definitely become a sinner of the Japanese people through the ages.

With this intention in mind, Soga Ezo had no choice but to leave the army, return to the Emperor’s Palace, and convene all the ministers to discuss with Emperor Kogoku’s famous words. With such harsh conditions, even he, a minister with power over the whole country, cannot make the decision. , then the only one who can call the shots is naturally only Emperor Huangji.

Emperor Huangji's Imperial Palace is still under construction, so political affairs are still handled in the former Emperor Shu's Imperial Palace.Suga Ezo is very familiar with this place, so he entered the Emperor's Palace with his sword.

The Tianhuang Palace of Emperor Shuming was designed and built by craftsmen invited from Baekje, and it was imitated in the style of the Tang Palace. The largest palace is also similar to the Taiji Palace in Chang'an, and even the name is similar, called Da. In the Great Hall, the Emperor Huangji convened his ministers to discuss matters in the Great Hall.

Suga Eizi is not as domineering as his son Sugarulu, at least on the surface he is still very dignified to the emperor, so before entering the Daiji Hall, Yizhi took off his sword and handed it to the guard. Then enter the hall alone.

The civil and military officials on both sides of the main hall have already sat down, and even Emperor Kogoku has already sat in their seats, just waiting for Soga Ezo to preside over the meeting.Seeing this situation, Suga Eizo felt a little complacent. His son's defeat in the previous battle greatly damaged his prestige, but now it seems that their Suga clan is still the most powerful family in the Wa Kingdom.It's a pity that Su Wo Eizo didn't know that after he entered the Daji Palace, the outer palace gate was tightly closed, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

Satisfied, Suga Eizo walked towards the seat on the right side of the emperor, which was the exclusive seat of the first minister, but what he didn't expect was that his seat was taken by a young man, and when he saw When seeing this person, Su Wo Aizi immediately said angrily: "Little Huangkou, how can you participate in government affairs, if you don't let me back down quickly!"

It is Prince Zhong who occupies the position of Suga Eizo. This prince has always been at odds with Suga Eizo. It is a pity that although he is a prince, he has no real power, so he has been repeatedly bullied by Suga and his son. Because of this, Su Wo Eizo didn't pay much attention to the eldest brother, the prince, even in front of Emperor Huangji, he was afraid of yelling loudly.

But what Su Wo did not expect was that his scolding not only failed to scare off the eldest brother and the prince, but also made the other party stand angrily. Suddenly, he shouted loudly: "The murder of the thief is today, all the ministers, hurry up!" Hurry up!"

Following the prince's roar, the confidant Nakaomi Kamazu, who had been standing behind Brother Zhong, immediately drew a sharp sword from under his robe, and stabbed Suga Ezo's head at once, but because of the panic, the sword did not It didn't hit a vital point, it just made Suga Ezo's face bleed.At the same time, another assassin, Saekiko Maro, also slashed Soga Ezo's thigh with a sword, causing the opponent to fall to the ground.

With such an accident happening in the good court meeting, except for a few ministers, most of the other people did not show any surprised expressions.But Suga Ezo was shocked, and when he fell to the ground, he happened to be in front of Emperor Huangji, which made him shout as if he was grabbing a life-saving straw: "What is my crime? Please ask the emperor to judge! "

After hearing this, Emperor Huangji gave Su Wo Ezo a cold look. Although she was supported by the other party, Su Wo Ezo returned to the court with such harsh conditions, obviously because he wanted her to agree to Tang Ren's conditions Well, if she agrees, then she, the emperor, will be responsible for all the blame. Naturally, she is unwilling to do such a fool, so today's matter can be regarded as her acquiescence.

At this time, the eldest brother, the prince, once again shouted loudly: "Suga Ezo despises the royal family, insults the emperor, and intends to seize the throne, and everyone will punish him!" Capital Datang 379

After the big brother and the queen finished shouting, she raised her sword and rushed forward, and then chopped off Suga Ezo's head with one sword. body, it's not that they abused the dead body, but to show their attitude at this time.

As Soga Ezo was killed, the guards he brought outside the Emperor's Palace were also surrounded and killed by the men organized by Brother Zhong and other ministers. Outside the Emperor's Palace, let the rain beat.A poor generation of powerful ministers of the Wa Kingdom ended up like this after death.

However, after Soga Ezo was killed in the Tianhuang Palace, the 6 troops in front also had turmoil. Originally, only 2 of the 4 people belonged to the Soga clan, and the other [-] were It is a trilogy of other powerful families in the country. Although the [-] people of the Suga clan are elite, they can easily be solved by the other [-] people without a leader and without prior knowledge.

However, what Prince Zhongda did not expect was that when he sent Zhongchen Lianzu to the army to preside over it, and was about to wipe out the last military force of the Suga clan, he somehow leaked the news that the two people of the Suga clan unexpectedly Knowing the news of Suga Eizo's killing in advance, all the backbone of the Suga clan were furious, and they launched a "rebellion" in advance, and the result was that they won more with less, and killed 2 people with 4 people. Defeated, even Zhongchen Kamazu died in the "rebellion" army.

After defeating the Allied Forces of the 12 clans, the rebels of the Suga family immediately returned to the castle of the Suga family, and then supported Suga's youngest son, the [-]-year-old Suga Hinata, as the governor of the family, and then swung their troops to the Asuka area. It's just that at this time, the powerful clans have assembled their troops again to resist the attack of the Su'er family layer by layer, which caused the Su'er family's attack to be frustrated and had to retreat.

Although the Soga family failed to attack the Asuka area, it also caused great damage to the central area of ​​the Wa Kingdom. Countless people migrated to escape the war. The eldest brother Prince Zhong who killed Soga Ezo before was also accused by others, thinking that he should not have killed Soga Ezo so recklessly before, otherwise there would be no disaster today.

But when the political center of the Wa Kingdom was in chaos, Li Yin in Iwami City laughed loudly, and then kept kissing Wu Meiniang, because the black hands behind all this came from his arms This delicate little lady.And this kind of "chaos" in Wa country is exactly what he wants to see in his dreams!
