Asukakyo, inside the Imperial Palace of Japan.
The person who spoke out against it was named Soga Ezo, the current head of the Soga family, and the son of Soga Mazi. He had never been very good at dealing with the eldest brother Yamabei, and he was also very arrogant. Of course, as the most wealthy family in Japan, Soga The head of my family also has arrogance.
As soon as Soga Ezo said these arrogant words, everyone gasped and secretly thought that he was really brave.
You must know that the Tang Dynasty at this time was the real celestial kingdom in the eyes of the Japanese people, and the Tang people were also an excellent race in their minds. According to historical records, when businessmen from the Tang Dynasty went to Japan to do business, the local Japanese often warmly entertained the Tang people. At night, wives, daughters, and sisters would be dedicated to the Tang Dynasty people to sleep with in the hope of giving birth to a son and a half daughters. However, this behavior was only carried out in small quantities in the Tang Dynasty. It was not until the Song Dynasty that borrowing seeds began to form a custom.
But now, Soga Ezo actually wanted to attack the Tang army, which made many ministers feel ridiculous.
"Absolutely not~!"
The eldest brother Yamabei stepped forward quickly and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, Soga Ezo's method is simply to disregard the life and death of Japan. Let's not talk about whether we can defeat the more than 10,000 Tang troops outside. Even if we defeat, we will only attract enemies. The boundless anger of the Emperor of Tang! Don’t doubt it, given the current Emperor of Tang’s character, once he gets angry, the Japanese country will definitely be in danger of being destroyed~! Please also ask His Majesty the Emperor and all ministers to think twice~!”
"Hmph~! He is so greedy for life and afraid of death~! His Tang army only has more than 10,000 people, and I, Feiniao Jing, have 80,000 elites. How can I not defeat the Tang army~?"
Soga Ezo stepped out from the crowd, tilted his chin and glanced at Yamabei brother-in-law with contempt, and then said arrogantly: "Be timid before fighting, Yamabeko-in-law, you are in vain to be the descendant of Prince Shotoku~! Moreover, according to the intelligence report, This time the Tang Dynasty came not only with troops, but also thousands of warships and countless supplies of food and grass. If they swallowed these warships and food and grass, even if the Emperor of Tang got angry in the future and sent troops to attack, would the Japanese country still be afraid of Tang~? "
As soon as the words fell, the hall fell into silence, but some people's hearts were not at peace.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, what Soga Ezo said is absolutely true, I think this plan is feasible~!"
"I also think this plan is feasible~!"
The influence of the Suga family in the court, coupled with the fact that there were a group of radical ministers, caused many echoing voices to appear in the hall.
Shanbei's eldest brother, Wang, became anxious and quickly retorted: "Have you forgotten the battle between the Tang army and the local government troops in Ishikawa County~? Eight hundred Tang troops easily defeated more than a thousand defenders in Ishikawa County with zero casualties. If we have the strength to win, it will be even harder than reaching the sky~! Even if we win, the Japanese country will be severely weakened and unable to deal with the anger of the Tang Emperor, so please think twice~!
And the situation is not at a point where it cannot be eased. As long as we understand the purpose of the Tang Dynasty's visit and make some concessions in some aspects, the Tang Dynasty will definitely be willing to withdraw its troops. "
Yamabeko's elder brother represents the lineage of the former Shotoku Prince, so there will be many ministers supporting him in the court. Moreover, his opinions are very in line with the thoughts of conservative veterans, so the voice of agreement immediately came from the court. .
"His Majesty the Emperor, I believe that what the elder brother Yamabei said is reasonable. Your Majesty should put the Japanese country's country first and not just follow your whim~!"
"My lord, second the motion~!"
Of course, there are many ministers who have never spoken. They are not helping each other.
Obviously, even if Prince Shotoku and Soga Umako have passed away, there are still three factions in the Japanese court. However, at this time, Emperor Suiko is more powerful. After all, the influence of a living person is still slightly higher.
"Ahem~!"
Seeing the snobbish arguments between the two sides in the court, Empress Tuigu coughed dryly, and the hall immediately became quiet. Then she slowly glanced around the court ministers and said:
"What you two dear friends said is reasonable, but I think it is not appropriate for us to confront the Tang army head-on at the moment. Since the Tang army is camped outside the city and did not attack the city immediately, it means that there is still room for negotiation. Therefore, we can send out messengers first, and go ahead Go and ask the Prince of Tang State why he is here, and we will make a decision later! If we can invite the Prince of Tang State to the palace for an interview, that would of course be the best~!"
Yes, the emperor of Japan also called himself "I" just like the emperor of China. In fact, not only this, but also the titles of empress, empress dowager, and prince of the East Palace were the same in Japan and the Tang Dynasty.
Mainly because the ancient Japanese country admired Chinese culture very much and learned most of their languages from China. From the emperor to the common people, everyone admired the Tang Dynasty.
Soga Ezo sneered and said: "How can the prince of the Tang Kingdom have the courage to come to Asukakyo if he is so proud? If he dares to come, I, Soga Ezo, will come crawling to attend the morning court from now on~!"
"That's right~! How could the prince of the Tang Kingdom risk his life and enter the city~!"
"Absolutely impossible~!"
Emperor Taigu frowned, and then she waved her hand and said: "I have made up my mind. Brother Shanbei, come and recommend someone to negotiate with the Tang army outside the city~!"
The eldest brother of Shanbei thought for a while, then bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I recommend Ono Yoko, the son of Sister Ono. He is proficient in Chinese and has a good understanding of the customs of the Tang Dynasty. It is most suitable~!"
Ono Meizi was the one who helped Prince Shotoku submit his credentials to the Sui Dynasty. He was a very famous diplomat and envoy to the Sui Dynasty in the Sui Dynasty.
Emperor Suigu thought for a while, nodded in agreement and said: "Zhunzou~!"

"... Hehe, I, Old Cheng, will tell you one more thing. It is said that there was a monk who went to Baihua Tower to find a girl one day..."
"No, Chou Niu, you motherfucker are talking nonsense again. Monks must abide by the rules and precepts. How can you go to the kiln sister~?"
Judging from the voice, it should be Li Tai's.
It was just getting dark in Yanhuang Academy. After taking a shower, the students were lying on the bed and starting to rest. After two days of military training, many students had gradually become accustomed to this kind of life. At least they were no longer as tired as last night. .
So, several second-generation ancestors in the 001 dormitory chatted quietly. What's even more outrageous is that Cheng Chumo, a shameless guy, actually started telling dirty jokes~!
"Eh~! Why is it impossible~? Not all monks will abide by the rules~? Ehehe, no, Qingque, please don't interrupt, wait until I finish telling you, lest I forget it later~!"
Cheng Chu murmured silently, and then continued: "Besides, the monk touched Sister Yao's front and back with his hands, and then shouted: "How wonderful, how wonderful!" The one in the front looks like a nun, and the one in the back looks like a disciple. Do you think it’s strange? ""
