"Oh? An old friend?" Showa Incheon was obviously interested and asked quickly.
Dekosuke did not speak, but stretched out his finger and tapped it gently on the intelligence paper he had put down. Showa Incheon looked at it and saw three big characters written on his finger, "Luo Qingyuan."
Luo Qingyuan is not familiar with Showa and Incheon. Judging from the intelligence collected, we only know that this person is the former state pastor of Daliang Xizhou. He has a teacher-student relationship with the current state pastor who was killed by Su Qi'an. It seems that like De Kangsuke, he has retired to seclusion. for nearly twenty years.
It is very strange to be invited out of the mountain again, and to sit in the position of Zhou Mu again without any criticism. What is even more strange is that the person who invited him out is the Dongshan Hou who killed his students. There is obviously something strange behind this. .
However, Showa Incheon has no intention of continuing the investigation. After all, this is Great Liang, not Fusang. Being able to know most of Dongshan Hou's past in Kyoto City is also because Su Qian is in Kyoto City and has a high reputation. After collecting them, Easier.
On the contrary, what happened to Luo Qingyuan or Su Qi'an in Xizhou would not be that easy based on his ability. Xizhou itself is located in a remote area, and he does not have many informants in Da Liang.
Fuso affected Great Liang, most of them near the southeast coast. As for Xizhou, which was far to the west and quite far away from them, Showa Incheon could only do nothing to help.
Moreover, what happened in Xizhou has already happened. Even if specific information is collected, nothing can be changed. Instead of wasting time and effort and not getting anything good, it is better to give up and focus on the future.
Showa Incheon thought so and planned to do so, but Dekangjie's old friend soon provided him with a piece of free information.
Dekangjie was silent for a while, and said directly without hiding anything about him and Luo Qingyuan.
"Speaking of this, it happened twenty or thirty years ago. It was not a big deal. At that time, I went to Daliang to study. I thought I was quite talented and young and energetic, so I chose to take the imperial examination in Daliang Kyoto."
"The final result, as you know, is that as an outsider, I only reached the point where I could raise people, and it was at that time that I met Luo Qingyuan."
"Back then, Luo Qingyuan was very famous in Kyoto. Because he came from a poor family, he was able to walk step by step from the remote Xizhou to the great Liang Kyoto."
"At that time, the capital of Great Liang was somewhat friendly to poor families and foreign students. It was for this reason that a group of foreign students among us had a drink and chat with a local poor student. During our conversation with him, I discovered that This person is very talented, especially in the internal political reform of Daliang, and has unique insights."
"Although from today's perspective, the internal reforms he proposed at that time were very risky and very bold, after all, we were young at the time. It would be strange if we were not so young and frivolous."
"Then, just as I expected, he shined in the imperial examination. Although he did not win the top prize, he was deeply valued by Emperor Liang at that time. Later, he stayed in the Hanlin Academy for a period of time and then went to serve as a county magistrate in Xizhou. "
"Then step by step, he rose from the county magistrate to the county guard, and even to the pastor of Xizhou. This period only took about ten years. It can be said that his rise to fame was witnessed by his teacher."
"At that time, he was very effective in implementing his reform ambitions in Xizhou. If he had been given more than ten years, Great Liang would never be like it is now. I am afraid that even the teacher would not dare to propose a marriage proposal rashly. thing."
"But everything seemed to be doomed. Luo Qingyuan was about to show off his talents and continue to implement his political ambitions. At that time, Emperor Liang passed away. As the new emperor ascended the throne, some of the domestic policies of the previous Emperor Liang were also adjusted."
"These include some policies for students from poor families and foreign students who are prohibited from studying in Great Liang. It was at that time that I saw clearly the decline of Great Liang and returned to Fusang."
"Before returning to Fusang as a teacher, I only knew that Luo Qingyuan seemed to be disheartened by the death of his predecessor, Emperor Liang, and had the idea of resigning and going into seclusion."
"I didn't expect that he actually resigned and lived in seclusion for twenty years. Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's such a pity for Great Liang not to use such a talent."
After listening to Dekosuke's story, Showa Incheon also sighed. What he lamented was the good fate of Great Liang, one after another.
There will be many talents emerging. Compared with Fusang, in terms of talents, there is indeed a lot of difference.
But Showa Incheon was not discouraged. Although Da Liang had many talents, they did not make good use of them. Twenty years later, Da Liang not only did not come back to life and showed signs of resurgence, but instead became increasingly declining. ..
And they, Fuso, after more than 20 years of development, not only unified the entire Fuso, but also eradicated the various warrior groups in power one by one, strengthening the central imperial power and making power more concentrated.
Coupled with the help of Toku Kosuke, the current Fuso can not only compete with Da Liang, but Da Liang's previous mentality of being aloof and looking down on them is gone forever.
As long as the marriage proposal is successful this time, Fusang's influence will be further expanded, giving them more time to develop. If one day, the opportunity comes, it is not impossible to dismember Great Liang.
The change in Showa Incheon's expression was naturally noticed by Tokusuke, and this was the person he wanted to assist.
Even when facing a strong enemy, he is not afraid at all, but tries every means to defeat his opponent.
The stronger the opponent, the stronger the fighting spirit in the body. No matter what he encounters, his eyes are full of confidence. At the same time, he can be neither humble nor arrogant, and he can deal with anything calmly.
Only such a person, Showa Incheon, is worthy of his assistance, and he is the emperor who can truly lead Fuso to prosperity.
Dekosuke withdrew his reminiscing gaze and said softly, "The decline of Great Liang is unstoppable. We were given twenty years to develop, and we seized it. This is our luck."
"The next step is to rely on one's own strength. Now that Luo Qingyuan has come back, Da Liang has gained a new star like the Marquis of Dongshan who is famous in the political and military circles. We cannot underestimate him."
"Back then, I didn't have a chance to stop Luo Qingyuan because I was not strong enough. Now, the re-emergence of Great Liang must not happen again."
"So, you can go around with those people in Kyoto. Even if there is no result, at least you can leave a goodwill. I think they will ask for us one day in the future."
As his disciple, Showa Incheon naturally understood Toku Kosuke's rather obscure words.
He nodded, knowing that Fuso couldn't show too much strength now, and had to develop silently.
And if you want to remain unnoticed, you have to choose to have a few external allies. Nowadays, in Great Liang, there are internal battles that don't happen every day or two.
If we can make a few allies in advance, there will be no harm to Fuso or those in Kyoto, only a win-win situation.
"Well, please don't worry, teacher, the students will make arrangements for it. By the way, teacher, do you want to get in touch with the one from Yuezhou too?"
"It won't hurt us to get in touch with more people, but the teacher wants to remind you, it's best to be on guard against that person from Yuezhou. That person is very ambitious and is not a simple person."
"Students understand." Showa Incheon nodded respectfully.
As for the outside world, as time passed, the sky gradually darkened, and the city of Kyoto began to become lively.
During the time when the Fuso delegation came to Beijing, in order to show the prosperity and strength of Kyoto City, the night curfew was lifted.
Therefore, when night falls, the entire city of Kyoto is in a state of excitement.
But compared to the bustle outside Kyoto City, the inner imperial city is even more lively.
The entire imperial city was brightly lit at this time. From a distance, the imperial city seemed to be wearing new clothes, which looked particularly beautiful.
Looking further out, on the streets outside the imperial city, luxurious carriages set off from the entrances of the residences of various powerful ministers one after another, heading towards the imperial city.
Tonight is a banquet hosted by His Majesty himself to welcome the Fuso delegation. It is a big event, and no one among the ministers of the DPRK and Central Government dares not to attend.
Of course, except for the Dongshan Marquis who was ill, after their analysis, they had a rough idea of whether Dongshan Marquis was ill.
It's a lie to be sick, but it's true that you don't want to see guests.
After all, Fuso Ronin caused quite a stir in a restaurant in Kyoto half a month ago. Although it was finally resolved, the person involved happened to be Dongshan Hou.
These fuso ronin are fuso kings
Su Qi'an sent them all to prison without giving any face to Prince Fusang. Until the Fusang delegation officially came to Beijing, Su Qi'an did not send anyone to contact the Fusang delegation.
Thinking about it, with Su Qi'an's arrogance, how could he be weak to the Fusang delegation? It was Su Qi'an who commanded and put down the Yuezhou War.
The two sides didn't say how big the feud was, but at least the relationship was settled. If Su Qi'an went to this banquet, there would inevitably be no trouble.
The ministers who had a grudge against Su Qi'an were naturally not worried about causing trouble at Su Qi'an's banquet. They were eager for Su Qi'an to cause a big banquet. In this way, the impeachment of Su Qi'an could not be avoided.
But in the end, Su Qi'an refused to attend due to physical illness. Based on their understanding of Su Qi'an, Su Qi'an was not the kind of person who was afraid of trouble, let alone the Fuso delegation.
The direct reason that prevented Su Qi'an from attending was probably His Majesty's order to prevent anything from happening at the banquet and damaging Dalian's face.
Su Qi'an also cooperated and found an excuse for being ill. On the one hand, it gave His Majesty face and gave him a good reason for not attending.
This should be the cause and effect of Su Qi'an's non-attendance. If not, even if Su Qi'an claimed to be ill, His Majesty would be a little dissatisfied, instead of simply acquiescing to tolerance. This was definitely decided by the two of them in advance.
If any of them dared to do this, they would inevitably be scolded by Su Xuanyong. Who made Su Qi'an now a popular figure that Su Xuanyong relied on? They had already seen it after discussing the crime in court.
Even if they complained, they could only endure it for the time being. Without a suitable opportunity, they could only choose to retreat temporarily due to Su Qi'an's sharp edge.
After understanding the cause and effect of the matter, there was no point in monitoring Su Qi'an. Soon, all the powerful families withdrew their spying on the Dongshan Marquis Mansion.
