"You're here!" Nakatomi Kamatashi showed a relaxed smile: "I have nothing to worry about, Bodhisattva bless me!"
"Yes, I'm here!" Sadahui walked to Nakatomi Kamatashi and knelt down on his knees: "Father, you don't need to worry. Youfudian has already said that as long as you can keep Otsu intact and ensure the supplies in the warehouse and the docks and ships are not harmed, he will absolve you of all your sins!”
"Exonerate me from all my sins?" Nakatomi Kamatashi shook his head: "Youfudian's ability is really admirable! It's a pity that I no longer need his absolution!"
Dinghui smelled an ominous flavor in her father's words and asked in surprise: "You don't need his absolution, what do you mean?"
"I will be a dead person soon, and dead people do not need forgiveness from others!"
"Dead person?" Dinghui then noticed a bowl on the desk. He grabbed the bowl and smelled the remaining liquid, and said in surprise: "Poison hemlock juice? Have you already drank poison hemlock juice? Come here, come here Yeah! Call the doctor quickly, there are plant ash and hot water! Hurry!"
"No need!" Nakatomi Kamatashi stretched out his right hand and grabbed Tehui: "It's really unnecessary. Neither plant ashes nor hot water, nor doctors, can save me!"
"Father, why are you doing this?" Dinghui grabbed Nakatomi Kamatashi's sleeve and cried sadly: "Obviously the Youfu Palace has personally pardoned your crimes, so there is no need for you to commit suicide!"
"Sadae, you still don't understand!" Nakatomi Kamatashi said with a bitter smile: "My crime is serious and I must die. Now I can die with dignity. If I don't die now, not only will I die in the future, but I will also implicate you." And the family!”
"How is this possible?" Dinghui said: "Youfudian promised me personally to absolve you of your guilt. He is not the kind of person who doesn't keep his word!"
"Child!" Nakatomi Kamazu patted his son on the shoulder: "Did you know? I was the one who killed Prince Arima with my own hands. Prince Arima and Princess Saitama were very close friends. Do you think she would spare me? Even if she lets me go temporarily for the sake of the inner palace, the hatred in her heart will only get deeper and deeper. One day she will be unable to hold it in anymore. Once it breaks out, not only will I die, but you, There are other people related to me who will also be unlucky. I am already over fifty, and it is not too early to die. Why should I harm you and the family just to live a few more years? It is better to commit suicide early and be done with it! "
"You personally killed Prince Youjian!" Dinghui was surprised: "How come I don't know anything about this!"
"Prince Arima is a member of the royal family no matter what. Even if he is guilty, it is so shameless to use a sword to harm his life. How could it be leaked?" Nakatomi Kamatashi sighed: "But only those who are willing to do this kind of thing can A closer look reveals that it cannot be hidden, and maybe Princess Saitama already knows about it! Do you understand why I want to die?"
Hearing this, Dinghui completely understood why his father knew that Wang Wenzuo had pardoned his crimes, but still insisted on committing suicide and refused to let the doctor come for treatment. Even though Wang Wenzuo is now in power over the Japanese country, it is Saitama who has been offended by Nakatomi Kamazu, who has already ascended to the throne, not to mention whether Wang Wenzuo will keep his original promise in the face of the anger of the king and his lover.
(From Wang Wenzuo's point of view, Saitama is of course much closer than Nakatomi Kamazu.) Even if Wang Wenzuo can really keep his promise, he cannot stay in Japan forever. Once he leaves Japan, Saitama will probably find Nakatomi Kamazu. After settling old scores, Saitama will definitely not be satisfied with Nakatomi Kamazu's life at that time. When she thought that despite all her efforts, she still could not change her father's fate of death, Taehye couldn't help but feel sad and cried bitterly while holding Nakatomi Kamazu's knees.
"Idiot, idiot!" Nakatomi Kamatashi stroked his son's smooth scalp and showed a kind smile: "Since you are familiar with Buddhist scriptures, you naturally know that life and death are just ordinary things. At my age, even without this incident , how many more days can I live? It is already a great blessing to be able to save the descendants of the family with one life!" At this point, he lifted Dinghui from his knees and picked up the two books on the case. , handed a copy to Dinghui and said: "This is a list of various materials in Dajin. I have sorted them out before you came. Youfu Palace attaches great importance to them, so you have to keep them!"
"Yes!" Dinghui held the book in her hands with tears in her eyes.
"Here's the other one!" Nakatomi Kamado spoke as he took off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Tehui along with the remaining book: "The book contains the family estate owned by the Nakatomi family, and this jade pendant is Nakatomi's. This is a family heirloom of my clan, after my death, you will immediately return to secular life and become the clan leader!"
"This, how is this possible!" Nakatomi Kamatashi was horrified when he heard this: "Aren't you saying that after I became a monk and became a monk, I no longer have anything to do with the Nakatomi clan? Is there any reason to return to secular life and become the head of the Nakatomi clan? And these family properties Grange, you gave it to me, what about the others?"
At this time, it had been a while since Nakatomi Kamatashi drank the poisonous juice. When the effect of the medicine started to take effect, he felt a dull pain in his abdomen. He suppressed the pain and patiently explained: "I said that because I wanted you to walk out of your own way. I didn’t come here to drive you out of the Nakatomi clan. This time I sided with Brother Nakatomi and lost everything. Even if I die, Saitama will not pursue the case at most, but he will never be among the people in the clan. Select talents. In this way, you are the one with the highest official position in the family. If not you, who else could be the clan leader? If your younger brothers are to be the clan leaders, let alone promoting the Nakatomi clan, it will be difficult to even keep the family business. !”
"Then I will temporarily act as the clan leader for a few years. When the situation improves, I will hand over the family property to my younger brother!"
"Nonsense!" Nakatomi Kamatsu was furious when he heard this, and his heart was burning. There was a stabbing pain in his abdomen, and blood was already spilling from the corners of his mouth. Dinghui hurriedly stepped forward to help him. Nakatomi Kamatsu sighed: "Listen to me, I'm not I want you to return to secular life and become the head of the Zhongchen clan, but I want you to ask the Youfu Palace to grant you a surname and establish a new clan. From now on, there will be no Zhongchen clan, do you understand?"
"Give me your surname and establish another family?" Dinghui could no longer keep up with his father's thinking: "Why is this necessary? The Nakatomi clan has been passed down for hundreds of years, why is it necessary?"
"Don't you understand yet? I am in the wrong team this time. The Nakatomi clan is already a criminal and will be used as a target from now on. But you are a meritorious minister. Instead of returning to the Nakatomi clan and becoming the clan leader, Why not ask the Youfu Palace to give you a surname and establish a new family, so that the family can be under your wings and have a new path!"
After hearing this, Sadhui fully understood what Nakatomi Kamazu meant. He had to admit that his father was scheming and considered the long term. In the past high-level infighting in Yamato Kingdom, the winner went to heaven, and the loser was eliminated. Even if he could keep his family, he would be driven out of the core circle of power. From then on, the situation became weak. The Katsuragi clan, Mononobe clan, etc. were all clearly Example, if we follow normal logic, Nakatomi will not be an exception.
But Nakatomi Kamazu played both sides of the bet to a trick. He himself sided with Nakatomi, the eldest brother, and asked his son to side with Saitama. No matter which side won, there would be members of the Nakatomi clan on the winning side. After Dinghui made the right bet, he simply asked him to ask Wang Wenzuo to give him a surname. In this way, Dinghui became the originator of a surname, and then he let the people of the Zhongchen family take shelter under Dinghuiyu, and they escaped like a golden cicada. In this way, the people of the Nakatomi clan were transformed from criminals to heroes, and they could continue to stay in the inner circle of power and enjoy good fortune. This operation is not unsightly.
At this time, Nakatomi Kamazu's poison had already taken effect, his face was gray and his breath was weak. He patted his son who was in tears, and said with a forced smile: "Ding Hui, I have spent half my life trying to kill the Nakatomi clan. We became a powerful clan like the Soga clan and Mononobe clan in the past, but unfortunately, due to bad luck, our success came to nothing in the end. When I first met the eldest brother, the prince, I thought he was a man born with destiny, so I worked for him. I will definitely get what I want, now it seems that I was wrong, Youfudian is the real destiny, you must serve him well!"
"Father, please rest assured, the child will never forget your teachings!" Dinghui cried.
"Yeah!" Nakatomi Kamazu nodded with a smile, and suddenly said: "It's strange, why did it suddenly get dark!"
"Is it dark?" Dinghui was stunned when he heard this. He turned around and looked outside, only to find that the sun was shining outside. How could it be dark? He reacted immediately and looked back at Nakatomi Kamazu, only to find that his father was no longer breathing.

Omi Kuniji.
"So, your father has committed suicide by taking poison?" After listening to Ding Hui's story, Wang Wenzuo looked gloomy.
"Yes, the body is outside!" Dinghui had changed into a plain robe, and his eyes were red and swollen: "Before my father left, he asked me to bring the body for His Majesty's inspection!"
"I understand. Your Majesty is still on the way. I will tell her when we get here!" Wang Wenzuo nodded. Apparently Nakatomi Kamazu did this to make Saitama confirm that he was really dead. Otherwise, if Saitama suspected that he was pretending to be dead, If he ran away and continued to hold on to his offspring, wouldn't his death have been in vain?
"Before my father left, he told me two things. One was to ask me to return to secular life. The other was to ask you to give me a surname. Please agree!"
"Return to the secular world? Give a surname?" Wang Wenzuo connected the events before and after thinking for a while, and then he guessed the intention of the central minister Kazuzu, and couldn't help but sigh: "Your father's painstaking consideration for his children is really impressive. Anyway, this matter I agreed to the matter and gave you the surname Fujiwara! As for the name!" Wang Wenzuo hesitated for a moment and said: "The Master said: Gentlemen gather together but do not party, and friends do not compete with each other, so you can call yourself Fujiwara Bubi!"
"Thank you for the name, Youfu-don!" Sadahui leaned down and knelt down: "From now on, my subordinate will be called Fujiwara!"
"You have recently lost your father, and you have been working hard on the road. Go down and rest first!" Wang Wenzuo comforted him with a few words of gentle words, and sent him back. Looking at his retreating back, a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Of course he knew that in history, Nakatomi Kamazu was the ancestor of the Fujiwara clan who served as Kanbai for generations, posing the emperor to engage in shikaki politics, and Fujiwara Fuhito (Wang Wenzuo remembered it wrongly, and remembered it as Fujiwara Fubi) was Nakatomi Kamazu Son, he inherited the political resources left by Nakatomi Kamazu, married his daughter to Emperor Shomu, and was considered the true founder of the Fujiwara clan. It's just that in history, Prince Naka's elder brother succeeded in ascending to the throne, and Nakatomi Kamazu also died a good death. There should be no chance for Sadae to return to secular life, restore his old surname, and inherit his father's political resources.
But in this case, let him inherit this surname that will be extremely prominent in later generations and see how far he can go on this road to power!
Wang Wenzuo thought with some evil humor.
Heavy rains caused flash floods and washed out roads. Saitama arrived at Omi Country two days later than Wang Wenzuo expected - by this time Wang Wenzuo had completely wiped out the remaining hostile forces in Omi Country.
"Youfu-don, you always move so fast!" Saitama's almond-shaped eyes were full of smiles, and he scolded: "You don't even leave me a chance to show off!"
"If I had been slower, I would have been the one to die!" Wang Wenzuo sighed: "Do you know? How much military resources are stored in Dajin and here? Brother Zhong's ability to command on the battlefield is average, but his ability to recruit manpower and form an army is quite good! "
"Really?" Saitama laughed: "Katsugi has been like this since he was a child. It's a pity that he met you this time. I heard that he was not discovered until your soldiers arrived outside his courtyard. Is this true? "
"Yes!" Wang Wenzuo said: "Actually, Brother Zhong's arrangement was very good. I also took a lot of risks and marched in the rain all night. I arrived just before dawn and found a Luocheng on the roadside, guarded by soldiers. Fortunately, there was a pond next to it with a lot of ducks in it. I had people disturb the ducks and cover up the sound of the soldiers marching with their croaking, so I passed that level!"
"What a clever plan!" Saitama listened to his lover's narration with relish, while reaching out his right hand, stroking Wang Wenzuo's hair with great interest, and wrapped it around his little finger childishly: "Sanlang, you will do it this time If you work hard, I can promote you to the position of Minister of the Left. When you pacify the remnants of Katsuragi, I will promote you to the position of Minister of Taizheng! How about we rule this country side by side?"
Faced with the queen's tender words, Wang Wenzuo opened his mouth and didn't know how to answer for a while. Fortunately, Saitama's attention turned to another aspect: "By the way, where is Nakatomi Kamazu? Is there any news about him?"
"Nakatomi Kamazu?" Wang Wenzuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly smiled: "He? He has committed suicide by taking poison. His body has been delivered. Do you want to see it?"
"Look, of course you have to look!" Saitama stood up, the tenderness and sweetness just now disappeared: "My brother's death had a lot to do with him. This old man is very cunning. If he doesn't commit suicide, I will definitely kill him." I want him to look good!”
"This woman really cannot be offended, she is much more cruel than a man!" Wang Wenzuo secretly cursed, and quickly stood up to guide Saitama. He came to the coffin and asked someone to open the lid. Saitama looked at the body inside and confirmed that it was Nakatomi Kama. Queen Zuzu asked: "What are you going to do with this guy?"
"How to deal with it? He is not already dead, how should we deal with it?" Wang Wenzuo asked in surprise.
I saw someone in the discussion forum asking Qidian why they couldn't read "Tianxia Jiedu". I'm glad that there are still people who remember this book, which was more than ten years ago. "Tianxia Jiedu" was first serialized in Zongheng. At that time, I signed a ten-year copyright contract with him, which has now expired. Therefore, the copyright of Tianxia Jiedu is in my own hands, and everything on the Internet is pirated. I asked Qidian if I could put it on the Qidian platform. The editor said that Qidian doesn’t put such old books, so I couldn’t find it on Qidian. If you want to read it, you can join the readers group and find me in person.
