\"Soga Ezo...and Emperor Suiko...have a son!\"
Few people could have imagined that the secret in the hands of Sakamoto Qingyuan was actually this.
Emperor Suiko was the first female emperor of Fuso. She appointed Prince Shotoku as an assistant minister and carried out the reforms of the Suiko Dynasty.
Although the Soga family was powerful at that time, it had been suppressed by the imperial power. But who would have thought that she actually had a daughter with Soga Ezo!
The parchment recorded in detail some specific details of the relationship between the two, as well as some relevant personnel information at the time of the birth.
"His Majesty the Emperor gave these people to me at the time, but I secretly sent them out of Nara Castle. But after so many years, I don't know how many of them I can still find."
Tang Ping threw the parchment to the eldest brother Shanbei with a headache.
If you say this thing is not a big problem in overthrowing Soga Ezo, it will also affect the reputation of the royal family.
So whether or not to use it will be left to the big brother Shanbei to deal with the headache.
After a night's rest, Tang Ping was woken up by a burst of shouting the next morning.
When I went out to take a look, I found that Rumiko, who was rescued yesterday, was pestering Yamabeo's elder brother.
"I remember you saved me yesterday and I want to marry you!"
There was such a big melon to eat early in the morning. Tang Ping watched with interest while leaning against the pillar in the corridor to wash up.
"Master, it's time for us to return to Nara, right?" Li Bai came over and asked.
"Well, I'll pack up and go back today." Tang Ping nodded.
Calculating the time, there was not much time left before their three-month appointment with the Mononobe family, and it was almost time to return to Nara from Aichi Prefecture.
I don’t know how the elder brother Yamabei coaxed Rumiko away.
"His Majesty Emperor Suiko was very good to my father, and he was also very good to me!" Yamabei's eldest brother looked at Tang Ping and said.
You must know that before Emperor Suiko's death, he originally designated Yamabeko's elder brother to be the emperor's successor.
It was only Soga Ezo who stepped in and pushed Prince Tamura to the current position of emperor.
However, it seems that Yamabeko's brother-in-law means that he does not intend to reveal this secret. After all, after this matter is announced, the reputation that will be affected the most is Emperor Suiko.
"You can decide your own family affairs!" Tang Ping patted him on the shoulder: "We are just allies, I don't care about your family affairs!"
"Thank you!" Shanbei's elder brother bowed and said.
"Okay, go pack your things quickly. You don't want to be seen by Rumiko again when you leave later, do you?"
The eldest brother Yamabei heard Rumiko's name, looked around, and then nodded sharply.
They temporarily hired a few people to look after Mitani Hot Spring in Aichi Prefecture. From now on, this will also be one of the properties of Yamabacko.
After Sakamoto Qingyuan spoke a few more words to Yamabeko's eldest brother, Prince Yamabeko waved his hand and left with Tang Ping and the others.
"Huh, I'm going back to Nara. It's only been three months since I came out, right? But it feels like it's been a long time." On the carriage, the eldest brother Yamaback said with a sigh.
"That's not true!" Tang Ping said with a smile: "If this is in a storybook, it can be a story with dozens of chapters."
After walking for a few days, they were about to arrive near Nara.
The mood when I went back was a little different from the mood when I came out. If this time goes well and Prince Yamabeko ascends to the throne of emperor, then Datang can get the mining rights of Iwami Ginzan and Sado Gold Mountain and complete the task of Fuso himself. That's half done.
"Ouch...owow..."
The carriage suddenly stopped, and Little Fatty jumped back and forth in front of the carriage, and let out a vigilant growl at the front.
Tang Ping, who had a spiritual connection with it, also sensed the danger: "Be careful, there is an ambush ahead!"
At this time, they may have noticed that Tang Ping and the others had stopped. A lot of cavalry appeared on the pass in front and rushed towards Tang Ping and the others.
"Walk!"
He didn't know how many enemies there were and what their origins were. Tang Ping wouldn't foolishly confront them head-on. He would just run away at this time.
Lao Cui and Lao Du pulled the reins respectively, and the two carriages turned around and ran wildly in the direction they came from.
The cavalry behind them were obviously targeting them, so naturally they would not let them go so easily, and they pursued them crazily.
After running for a while, you can probably tell that there are at least a hundred cavalry chasing them.
Moreover, these cavalry were different from those country soldiers. They were much better equipped. They chased back while firing arrows at Tang Ping's carriage.
The arrows jingled as they hit the carriages. These carriages were all specially made, so the mere bows and arrows naturally posed no threat.
However, the speed of cavalry is always faster than that of carriages. If this continues, it will be a matter of time before they are overtaken.
"Who are these people?" Brother Shanbei asked.
"I don't know." Tang Ping shook his head: "How about you ask them?"
After hearing what Tang Ping said, Shanbei's elder brother actually believed him: "If I tell them that I am the prince of Shanbei, will they stop chasing us?"
As he said that, he stuck his head out of the car window and was about to shout out his identity when he was dragged back by Li Bai, and a sharp arrow just missed him.
"You really don't see that they are here to kill you?" Tang Ping was speechless.
"Come to kill me? How do they know I'm coming back from here?"
Shanbei's eldest brother Wang expressed his incomprehension.
"Our whereabouts have been exposed. The two old men, the Nakatomi clan and Lord Sakamoto are the ones who know your whereabouts."
"But aren't they all with me?" Brother Shanbei didn't believe it: "How could they betray me?"
"Maybe they won't, but if those two old men want to help you contact them, they may leak the news. Nakatomi Hidemasa may not betray you, but other members of the Nakatomi family may not betray you, or the Lord Sakamoto feels that you are not willing to betray you. I’m willing to marry her daughter, or even have her killed by you!”
Tang Ping made a joke, and then continued: "Now it's not about who wants to kill you, it's about how we are going to escape."
"Don't you have that loud thing? Throw it out!" Shanbei's elder brother Wang still vividly remembers the shock bombs Tang Ping and the others used when they rescued him that night.
"It's not that easy in an open area like that and it's broad daylight."
Tang Ping looked at the terrain and said to Lao Cui: "Try to run south."
"Yes!" Lao Cui agreed, but he didn't dare to turn immediately. Now they were running in front, and the bows and arrows of the chasing cavalry could only hit the carriage. If he turned too much and exposed the horses, then if the horses Once they were shot, they really had no choice but to take advantage of them.
Now I can only run while relying on Xue Rengui to stretch out and shoot an arrow at the opponent to slow down the pursuers behind.
