Yipin Tang

Chapter 495
"Haha, I haven't seen you in a few months, Mr. Matsudaira Ichiro is here to represent Fusang to attend the Grand Court Assembly?"

Matsudaira Ichiro bowed to Wang Xiang, shook his head and said, "This time, Master Miyamoto came to attend the Grand Court Meeting in person, and I just accompanied him."

"Oh? Miyamoto Daichi is here too?" Wang Xiang didn't have a good impression of Miyamoto Daichi, but still felt that Matsudaira Ichiro was more to his taste, maybe because Matsudaira Ichiro gave him a lot of gifts.

Ichiro Matsudaira nodded and said, "Yes, the mission that Fuso came to participate in the Grand Court Assembly this time was led by Master Miyamoto."

Wang Xiang smiled and said, "No matter who leads the Fusang Mission, I only recognize you as a friend."

Matsudaira Ichiro had a happy expression on his face when he heard this.

"By the way, how are my five cities in Fusang now?" Wang Xiang, who had traveled a long distance to Fusang to help the Emperor Fusang put down the rebellion, was still very concerned about the five cities, because the back and forth was not very convenient and during this time Datang also had a lot of things to deal with, so he didn't go to Fusang again after returning, but a few months ago he asked Zhang Yicheng to bring some craftsmen and farmers to Fusang to build the city, and now he doesn't know what happened.

After hearing Wang Xiang's question, Ichiro Matsudaira's expression changed, and he said in a low voice, "I came here today to report this matter to Lord Hou."

Seeing the strange expression on Matsudaira Ichiro's face, Wang Xiang faintly felt bad, put away his smile and said in a deep voice, "What happened?"

Matsudaira Ichiro hesitated for a moment and said: "Because His Majesty the Emperor is young, Lord Miyamoto has mastered the military and political power in Fusang. After Lord Hou left Fusang, Lord Miyamoto ordered to find capable people in Fusang."

"And then?" Wang Xiang frowned.

"Later, Master Miyamoto found a lot of powerful people, so he wanted to take back those five cities..."

Wang Xiang interrupted coldly: "Which five cities?"

Hearing the chill in Wang Xiang's tone, Matsudaira Ichiro's heart trembled slightly, and he replied in a low voice, "It's the five cities in the southwest that were handed over to Lord Hou earlier."

"What about the five cities now?"

"It has... been taken back by Miyamoto-sama."

Wang Xiang fixed his eyes and shouted, "Where are the people I left there?"

"Arrested by Miyamoto-sama."

"Very good." Wang Xiang sneered, glanced at Matsudaira Ichiro, and asked, "Why did you come to tell me this?"

Ichiro Matsudaira gave a shock, and quickly said: "His Majesty and I do not agree with Miyamoto-sama's actions. Miyamoto-sama is the Minister of the Taizheng, who holds the military and political power in Fusang, and there are many powerful people under him. We have nothing to do. This time Master Miyamoto led a mission to Chang'an to participate in the Great Court Meeting. His Majesty the Emperor asked me to accompany him to tell the matter to the Hou Ye and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Well, it’s just that the military and political power in Fusang is now under the control of Miyamoto-sama, I hope Lord Hou and His Majesty the Tang Emperor understand.”

As soon as Wang Xiang heard it, he understood that Emperor Jitong was young, and after the Soga Eizo rebellion was put down, Miyamoto Taitomo became more ambitious.The Minister of Taizheng is the highest official position in Fusang, equivalent to the emperor's teacher, and has more power than the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. Because this official position has too much power, it is not set up if there is no suitable person. Most of the time, this official position is vacant. It is generally used as a posthumous gift, but now Miyamoto Dazhi has appointed himself as the Minister of the Taizheng, which shows his ambition.

The five cities along the southwestern coast of Fusang are Fusang’s gateways to the Tang Dynasty. Wang Xiang understands that Miyamoto Dazhi also understands that an ambitious person will naturally not hand over the portal to the outside world to others, so Miyamoto Dazhi Will attack these five cities.

"He must have recruited some powerful people for daring to do this." Wang Xiang sneered. When he left Fusang, he left behind a few black guards to guard the city. Black guards with strength talents are considered top among ordinary ability users. If Miyamoto Daichi can capture five cities and arrest them, then his subordinates must have powerful superpowers.

Matsudaira Ichiro quickly replied: "Miyamoto-sama has indeed recruited a lot of powerful ability users, and two of them are particularly powerful."

Wang Xiang's heart moved when he heard the words, and he asked, "Did Miyamoto Daichi bring them to the Grand Court Meeting?"

Matsudaira Ichiro was taken aback when he heard the words, nodded and said, "How does Lord Hou know?"

"Hmph, it seems that he wants to show off his subordinates' strength in the ability user competition."

Although Ichiro Matsudaira said that the two ability users brought by Dazhi Miyamoto were very powerful, Wang Xiang didn't take it seriously. He had absolute confidence in Li Yuanba and Yu Wencheng. The violent talents of the two were originally the top fighting talents. Moreover, during this period of time, he also provided them with a large amount of crystals for them to absorb. The ability users in this world definitely don't have so many crystals to absorb, and they don't even know that they can improve their strength by absorbing the energy of crystals .

Miyamoto Daichi dared to break the contract and take away the five coastal cities in the southwest and also captured Wang Xiang's people who stayed in Fusang. Naturally, this matter will not go away like this. Wang Xiang already understood Miyamoto Daichi's plan, and he brought people to participate The ability contest is to show the power in his hands. This is how this world is. Whoever has the strength has the final say. Back then, Wang Xiang was able to let him hand over these five cities because Wang Xiang had absolute power in his hands. Ben Dazhi thought he had the power to fight against Wang Xiang and even against Datang, so he couldn't wait to show it.

Wang Xiang was not in a hurry to act, he wanted to see why Miyamoto Daichi had such confidence at the Great Court Meeting.

"In that case, what does His Majesty the Emperor mean?" Wang Xiang asked lightly.

Matsudaira Ichiro's face changed, and he whispered: "Miyamoto Taichi is good at overreaching, and has the heart of disobedience. It's just that His Majesty the Emperor is young and unable to contend with it."

Wang Xiang nodded when he heard the words and said: "I understand, this matter can be resolved at the Dachao Conference, but I hope that there will be no other Miyamoto Taizhi after this matter."

Ichiro Matsudaira nodded quickly, and Wang Xiang patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Actually, I think you are quite suitable to be the Minister of the Taizheng of Fuso."

Matsudaira Ichiro repeatedly waved his hands and said, "Don't dare."

Wang Xiang shook his head and said, "What dare you? I'll ask you if you want to be the emperor. After all, Emperor Jitong is young, and she can't handle many things well by herself. It would be good to have a minister to help."

Seeing that Wang Xiang seemed to be serious, Matsudaira Ichiro couldn't help being moved, and asked in a low voice, "Master Hou really thinks that I can be a minister of the Taizheng?"

Wang Xiang smiled slightly: "That depends on what you do..."
