The sun sets and the sky becomes dusk.
A small group of red-clad and golden-armored Qianniu Guards finally came down from Lingyin Temple and reached the foot of the mountain.
Li Xuan, who was walking at the front, stopped slightly, then turned to look in the direction of Lingyin Temple, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, on the official road opposite, there was another small group of Qianniu Guards, escorting Yu Ze from a distance.
Soon, Yu Ze stopped in front of Li Xuan, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I wonder if things on the mountain are okay?"
"It's still early. The Japanese people are not so easy to take the bait. Now both sides are interested. Let's go back to the Governor's Mansion." Li Xuan slapped the horse fiercely. The next moment, the group was quickly heading towards the city of Hangzhou. Go in the direction.
After a group of people left, only small groups of people came up the mountain in twos and threes.
High on the mountain, a petite figure watched Li Xuan heading towards Yangzhou City from afar.
Under the cute bun, there are a pair of bright eyes and cheeks with some baby fat.
Wearing a black night clothes, she looked a bit cute and naive. Her small nose wrinkled. The next moment, she stomped towards the ground, and a white smoke instantly rose up. The figure of the cute and naive girl was gone. .
A moment later, another white smoke rose in the Shifang Garden of Lingyin Temple.
The charming girl appeared again, then bowed to Daozhen and said: "Master!"
"It's Aquan!" Daozhen raised his head gently, looked at the girl Aquan, waved, and asked kindly: "How is it, the King of Nanchang is gone?"
"Yes!" The charming girl Aquan quickly walked up to Daozhen and looked at Daozhen with a worried face: "Master, why did the King of Nanchang come to you?"
"The Tang Dynasty wants to cooperate with our country." Daozhen looked at the girl Aquan calmly.
Hearing what Daozhen said, Aquan immediately frowned and said worriedly: "If Datang cooperates with the country, then wouldn't it mean cooperating with the traitor Tianwu? With the support of Datang, wouldn't the traitor Tianwu have to sit down?" To secure the throne of the king?"
"Princess." Daozhen looked at the little girl Aquan seriously and warned seriously: "Now in the Tang Dynasty, in this land, there is no such thing as Princess Quan anymore, only the Japanese girl Aquan, so don't mention it all the time. King Tianwu called him a rebel.
For domestic matters, we only need to send information. The one who makes the decision is King Tianwu. "
"Here!" Princess Quan... A-Quan came over and pulled Daozhen's arm and said, "I understand, Uncle, A-Quan just be careful in the future."
Daozhen patted Aquan's little hand and whispered: "If I hadn't been designated as the envoy to Tang Dynasty, I might not have been able to take you two sisters out of Japan together."
"Yes!" Aquan's expression darkened for a moment.
"By the way, let's talk about the King of Nanchang." A sneer appeared in the corner of Daozhen's eyes and he said softly: "The King of Nanchang came here this time, seemingly to discuss the carving up of Silla with our country, but in fact he was just using our country. In the end, once Tianwu sends troops, he will definitely suffer a disastrous defeat on the East Island. At that time, A Ming will take advantage of the opportunity to counterattack and seize Pinghejing in one fell swoop."
"Then the master has promised to the King of Nanchang."
"It's not that easy. It's not that easy to get Tianwu to use an edict and a few empty words." Daozhen shook his head and sneered, "This time, even if it's not for Tianwu but for ourselves, it's not that easy." Datang must pay the price."
There was a trace of cruelty on Daozhen's face, and endless greed flashed deep in his eyes.
Aquan, who was standing on one side, did not see this scene, but she had already silently nodded in agreement with what Daozhen said.
The cruelty on Daozhen's face disappeared instantly. He turned to look at Aquan and said, "Where is the Water Lord now?"
Aquan immediately said seriously: "Sister is training the ninjas of the Iga tribe in the mountains."
Daozhen couldn't help but shook his head and said: "Without the support of the family, it is too difficult to seriously train qualified ninjas. Not everyone has the talent like you and your sister, Quan."
"If we hadn't lost too many manpower in the city of God, we wouldn't be so stretched." Aquan's face looked slightly ugly.
Daozhen waved his hands and said with regret on his face: "What happened in Luoyang was Master's fault. Master Wei didn't expect that the Tianyin Sect was so crazy and dared to make a fuss about the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty."
"Then Master, the Tianyin Sect has been destroyed. Where is the King of East China Sea?"
"Why bother with the King of East China Sea? Now that we have the edict from Emperor Tang, the Tang Dynasty can give us much more than the King of East China Sea. With the Emperor of Tang, who needs to deal with the King of East China Sea." Daozhen's face Full of disdain.
They cooperated with the King of East China Sea to get what they needed, but whether it was the Tianyin Sect or the King of East China Sea, they were repeatedly defeated by the Tang Dynasty, causing heavy losses to their allies, the Japanese country. Under such circumstances, who would have the heart to truly Go and cooperate with Donghai King.
This is even more true now. Although Li Xuan's attitude was very high during the conversation, the real bargaining chip in the matter was in the hands of the Japanese state.
Thinking of this, Daozhen looked at A-Quan and said in a deep voice: "A-Quan, go down the mountain immediately and keep an eye on King Nanchang's every move."
"Here!" Ah Quan immediately accepted the offer, then raised his head and asked, "Master, I'm going to keep an eye on the King of Nanchang. Then Master, there will be no one around you. Do you want to call Sister A back?"
"No, Lord Water, I will arrange for her to go to Yangzhou. I don't know what happened to Prince Jian, but the King of Nanchang came to visit him?" Daozhen's face became serious without realizing it.
Although Daozhen now travels freely in the Tang Dynasty, especially as a monk, staying in various temples at any time, what they really rely on is the uncle of the previous Japanese king Hongwen and the younger brother of the contemporary Japanese king Tianmu. His real name is Prince Jian, but now he is a direct disciple of Hongjing of Daming Temple. Read the book
Wu Yi was one of the earliest envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty. Later, he became obsessed with Buddhism for some unknown reason, and finally became a monk directly. In this way, he was lucky enough to avoid the many disputes within the Japanese country.
"Aquan knows, Aquan will keep an eye on the King of Nanchang." The girl Aquan bowed slightly to Daozhen, then took a step back and disappeared directly into the room.
"King Igano, whether you can regain your power this time depends on whether you can seize this opportunity." Michizane clenched his fist tightly and clenched the imperial edict in his hand.
In the Hangzhou Governor's Mansion, Li Xuan was invited to the official hall by Hangzhou Governor Yuan Jiazuo just after he returned.
There was only Yuan Jiazuo in the quiet official hall, and the others had already been arranged to leave by him.
"Xuan has met the envoy." Li Xuan stood in the hall and slightly cupped his hands towards Yuan Jiazuo.
Yuan Jiazuo withdrew his eyes from the document in front of him, then raised his head to look at Li Xuan. Seeing that his expression was calm, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked with concern: "Your Majesty, please sit down. I wonder how the situation is during today's trip?"
Li Xuan sat down opposite Yuan Jiazuo, then looked at him and said, "There are good things and bad things."
"Your Majesty, please elaborate." Yuan Jiazuo became serious.
"The good news is that the Japanese people are extremely greedy and ambitious towards Silla. The bad news is that they are too greedy. His Majesty's promise alone may not be enough. They need something more practical." Li Xuan shook his head slightly, and then added today and The details of the meeting with Monk Daozhen were informed to Yuan Jiazuo.
What impressed Li Xuan most about Monk Daozhen was that after he received the emperor's imperial edict, he held on to it as if it were some kind of life-saving elixir.
"This is a good thing. I'm afraid they won't want anything. Since I have a plan, just give it to them. Are you still afraid that they will take the things and do nothing? My Tang Dynasty things are not easy to get." A sneer appeared at the corner of Yuan Jiazuo's mouth. .
"What Mr. Yuan said is true. The Japanese envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty did not know the general situation. If the Japanese dared to act randomly, then all the Japanese in the Tang Dynasty would be arrested. After that, whether it is mining or building city walls, people will still be needed. ." The corner of Li Xuan's mouth curved into a slight smile, with a hint of cruelty in her voice.
Cooperation with the Japanese people is naturally the best if it can be achieved. If it cannot be achieved, then the way for the Japanese country to steal culture from the Tang Dynasty will be destroyed, and even the Japanese country will directly kill the Japanese mainland...
"As for the Navy, Captain Ji is already actively preparing. Your Majesty will be able to get it tomorrow if you go there." At this point, Yuan Jiazuo paused slightly, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked in a low voice: "About the remnants of the King of the East China Sea
I wonder if the prince has any other ideas? "
Li Xuan immediately raised his head and stared at Yuan Jiazuo.
Nowadays, in the entire southeast, it seems that everyone is paying attention to the reinforcement of Dongdao, but in fact, the truly caring people are concerned about the follow-up treatment of Yangzhou Shi'an County Government.
Not long has passed, but many details have been deliberately revealed.
For example, Li Xuan only prohibited Shi'an County Public Security Bureau personnel from entering and exiting, but some people imprisoned the Shi'an County Public Security Bureau.
As for who imprisoned Duke Shi'an, all the major families in the south of the Yangtze River had people in Yangzhou. Naturally, they all knew that Xue Zhongzhang was acting on the secret orders of Pei Yan, the Minister of Punishment.
No one cares about how Xue Zhongzhang does things, but now that Li Xuan has arrived in Yangzhou, it is inevitable that some people will be a little uneasy.
"But what did someone ask Mr. Yuan?" Li Xuan said lightly, causing Yuan Jiazuo's eyes to freeze.
The expression on Yuan Jiazuo's face suddenly became calm. He said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. It's not that someone has something to do with the King of East China Sea. It's just that Hangzhou has been in harmony for many years, and everyone doesn't want to break this harmony."
"Actually, I don't want to break this harmony." Li Xuan gently knocked on the table, then looked at Yuan Jiazuo and said: "The matter of Shi'an County Duke should have been handled by the palace or Zongzheng Temple, but the Ministry of Punishment is here Yangzhou intervenes, if they can do it in Yangzhou, they can naturally do it in Hangzhou."
After a pause, Li Xuan looked at Yuan Jiazuo and said: "Mr. Yuan might as well say a word for Xiao Wang. If anyone has any connection with the King of East China Sea, they should take the initiative to explain it. Otherwise, once the people from the Ministry of Punishment find out, it will be me. There’s no guarantee.”
"With the words of the prince, I feel relieved. If the Wuyue families really have contact with the King of East China Sea, I will tell you that the prince and I will dig it out completely." Yuan Jiazuo looked confident. appearance.
Li Xuan smiled, and Yuan Jiazuo also laughed.
It's nothing more than killing people,
Rich families have always pursued a strategy of not putting their eggs in one basket.
It is not too difficult to understand that someone would burn the cold stove where Prince Yin built his descendants.
But now that this line has been paid attention to by the palace, if the major aristocratic families do not want to be confiscated and exterminated, they can only clean up their families.
This kind of thing has never been unfamiliar to them.
The bloody family fight in the Xia family before was a clear proof.
