"Yes! I'm so upset that I can't sleep!" Dinghui sat up and pointed to the empty space on the couch: "If you can't sleep either, let's talk about it tonight!"
"That's fine!" Yiji Lianbode was not polite, pushed the door open and got on the bed with slippers, and sighed: "Are you worried about national affairs? I am the same as you. If the Tang Dynasty is compared to Mount Tai, in comparison, Yamato is no more. A chicken egg! If the two countries go to war, wouldn’t they be seeking death?”
Dinghui nodded silently. During the day, he immersed himself in knowledge and was able to relieve his worries. But in the dead of night, worries and troubles came back to his mind. Could it be that his father had anticipated today's situation, so he said Where did those words come from?
"Dinghui!" Yijilenbode glanced at Dinghui secretly. The other person's face was shrouded in a thick layer of shadow. He couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad, so he had to ask carefully: "Your father is the eldest brother of the prince. Confidant, I heard that Prince Zhong, the eldest brother, had already made a plan to attack Silla and recover Renna, and your father was involved in it, why did he let you join the mission?"
"My father never told me these things!" Dinghui replied: "Before leaving, he told me: 'The moment you step on the deck, you must forget who you are and where you come from, and be loyal to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. wisdom!'"
"The moment you step on the deck, you must forget who you are and where you come from, and serve the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty with all your loyalty and wisdom!" Ijilianbod's eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh: "I understand, your father is indeed worthy of your honor. For the wise!"
"Wise man? Where to start with this?"
"Let me ask you, if your father advises the eldest brother, the prince, not to send troops to the mainland, do you think the eldest brother, the prince, will listen?"
"Of course not!" Dinghui shook his head: "Although my father has the trust of the prince, the prince is a very independent person. Sending troops to the mainland has been the kingdom's national policy for decades. How can it be changed just because of my father's words? of?"
"That's right, so your father-in-law will not advise the prince! And he sent you to the Tang Dynasty. Once the situation changes, the Tang people will detain you. A war breaks out between the two countries. If the Tang people win, peace talks will eventually take place. You are dedicated to studying, devoted your allegiance to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and know the inside story of Yamato. Aren't you the most trusted person by the people of the Tang Dynasty? And if your father has such a son, wouldn't you be able to escape the disaster of annihilation after the defeat? "
"This -" Dinghui was stunned, and after a while he smiled bitterly and said: "What you said makes sense, but it's just a bit far-fetched. Don't forget that the Tang Dynasty did not attack Baekje when we were sent as envoys. Relations between the two countries are not bad, so how could my father have thought that the two countries would fight?"
"Your father is the prince's confidant. In the words of the Tang Dynasty, he has access to forbidden areas, participates in secrets, and is in the position of prime minister. How could he not know about the prince's plan to invade the mainland? And the Tang people made good friends with Silla and attacked Silla. It’s no secret that Goguryeo, Baekje, and the Geelye Peninsula are at odds with each other. Sooner or later, the two families will collide. Although the Nakatomi clan can be traced back to Tianerwu’s roots, in terms of family background, they can only be considered newcomers! With your father’s family, Of course you will be resourceful and plan ahead!"
Sadae nodded. As a friend said, although the Nakatomi clan is an ancient family, it has declined since the generation of Nakatomi Kamazu. It was Nakatomi Kamazu who relied on his own talents and the appreciation of Nakatomi's eldest brother, the prince, to prosper again. , the foundation cannot be compared with other big families, let alone the Imperial family.
Once Prince Zhongda's mainland strategy fails, Prince Zhongda may only need to abdicate. As the loyal dog of Prince Zhongchen, the Nakachen family will most likely be thrown out as a scapegoat and suffer disaster. Under such circumstances, it is undoubtedly a wise move for him, as the eldest son, to go to the Tang Dynasty first. In the worst case, it will allow the Zhongchen family to spread its branches in the Tang Dynasty and avoid the complete destruction of the family.
"No wonder you can concentrate on your studies so much. It turns out that your father has already made arrangements!" Ijilianbod said with a smile: "By the way, what do you think will be the outcome of the conflict between the two countries?"
"The ending?" Dinghui sighed: "When two countries compete, the stronger will naturally win and the weak will lose. But if the weak can learn from failure and study with concentration, it may not be a bad thing!"
"That's true!" Yijilianbod sighed: "The Tang people have many advantages over me. If we can let me return to China and use what I have learned here in national affairs, we can live up to our hard work."
Dinghui didn't speak, but his friend's words spoke his mind. During this period of time in the Tang Dynasty, he heard and saw everything that was far superior to his mother country, and he became more and more convinced that no matter who was the winner of this war, he would win. Learn from the Tang people! Then apply the knowledge they learned to the mother country and turn it into a "Little Tang Kingdom" on the east side of the sea. Just like the sun, they can educate the barbarians and rule the four directions. This is their mission and the destiny of Yamato. .
Giggle!
Giggle!
"What is this sound? Why does it sound like a rooster's crow?" Igillenbod asked.
Dinghui listened attentively, then looked up at the sky outside the window, and said with a smile: "Yes, it is indeed a rooster crowing. You and I didn't pay attention to the time when we talked, so the night passed like this. Look at the sky outside, it's already dark!"
"Oh, you spent the whole night like this?" Ijilenbode jumped out of bed, looked at the sky outside, and said with a smile, "Forget it, I'm going back to the house first!"
"Wait a minute!" Dinghui put on his shoes and got out of bed, took off the saber hanging on the wall, hung it on his waist and said with a smile: "Brother, have you heard of the story of Zu Di Liu Kun? The country is troubled, and this cock crow is a reminder Let’s hone ourselves so that we can serve our country! How about we get up and practice swordsmanship whenever we hear the rooster crow from now on?”
"Very good!" Igillenbod laughed when he heard this. He went back to the house and took out his saber. At this time, the moon was sparse and the stars were sparse, and there was a little white fish belly on the horizon. The two came to the courtyard, drew their sabers and danced against each other until the sky was bright, and their bodies were all white. I finished it when I was sweating profusely.
Another seven or eight days passed like this. One day at noon, Dinghui was reading in the room, but the guard came to summon him. Dinghui asked, "Is there any noble person who has summoned me?"
"Congratulations to the Zen master!" The guard smiled and said: "The imperial court has issued an edict, and the Zen master will be of great use!"
Chang'an, Daxing City, Taiji Palace.
"Liu Renyuan has given me a little surprise!" Li Zhi flicked the paper in his hand: "I thought he was lucky to be able to evacuate the 10,000 people to Silla safely last time Pyongyang failed, but I didn't expect that not only could he Opening up the channel with Silla, and this plan! Not bad, really good!"
"So your Majesty is going to grant her request?" The Empress Wu on the side did not have the posture and pomp of a queen. She was just wearing a bright yellow long skirt and a short jacket, with a silk scarf of the same color wrapped around her forehead, matching her face. Compared with the sickly appearance of the emperor, her delicate beauty was even more highlighted.
