[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

Chapter 21 Second St. 09

At first, in order to compensate Prince Hairen for losing his reserve position, King Ge Cheng rewarded his younger brother generously in terms of title, and generously let him take full charge of the affairs of Dahua reform—to put it bluntly, he let Prince Hairen do things that offend others thing.

Little did he know that the prince from Haihai didn't reject all the 'favor' given by his elder brother at all, not only did the reform affairs in full swing, but also took advantage of the situation to win over a group of young reformers.As for the senior and important ministers like Zhongchen Kamazu, the Hairen prince respected them even more, making the veterans who originally supported the brothers and the system even closer to them.

Prince Ge Cheng's son made a mistake, and the first-mover advantage he had achieved so easily before was all in vain.

On the basis of consolidating the Dahua innovation, the Hairen people put forward more suggestions for the central administration that are conducive to the centralization of royal power, which made his elder brother reluctant to remove him from the central government for a while...

Originally, such a delicate balance has been maintained very well under the mediation of Nakatomi Kamazu. The two brothers never mentioned anything related to the succession of the throne, but the sudden appearance of a woman made the prince of Haihai couldn't bear it anymore!

It turned out that when the prince from Haihai was a teenager, he fell in love with a maiden in the palace and gave birth to an illegitimate daughter named Princess Shishi.Because of their identities, the prince from Haihai was unable to marry the witch in the end.Not wanting to run into each other in the palace many years later, the prince from Haihai discovered that his first love, Ueda Ji, had become the harem of his elder brother, King Ge Cheng!

This discovery made Prince Hairen so angry that at the banquet that day, he lost his composure in front of the imperial court and accidentally scratched the screen behind King Ge Cheng with his sword...

King Ge Cheng, who had always been afraid of his younger brother, was furious immediately. If Zhongchen Lianzu hadn't begged for mercy, he would have ordered someone to drag the Hairen prince out and behead him!

This conflict has deepened the emotional rift between the two brothers, and Nakatomi Kamazu, who has always supported the prince of Hairen as the orthodox heir, also feels very embarrassed.

Zhongchen Kamazu had always hoped that King Gecheng and Prince Hairen would get rid of their previous grievances. Even if King Gecheng married the princess to him, implying that he would do his best to assist Prince Otomo, he still held the illusion that King Gecheng would change his mind. After all, Prince Dayou is still in his infancy, whether to raise him or not is a big problem!

I don't want to, what happened on the next hunting trip completely wiped out Nakatomi Kamazu's hope...

This incident happened shortly after the fleet of Baekje people sent by Wa State left Wa State.

King Gecheng took advantage of the opportunity to send Tang envoys, secretly went to the vicinity of Kyushu in disguise, and the Omi court left Prince Hairen, Zhongchen Kamazu, brother Sogachi and others to preside over political affairs.

In order not to make the local tyrants suspicious, the Omi court has always pretended that King Katsuragi was in power, and even ordered the officials and members of the royal family to go hunting in the area of ​​Kamono in the name of King Katsuragi.

In the end, it was this time of hunting, the prince from Haihai could no longer bear the pain of lovesickness, and waved his sleeves at the concubine, Uda Ji...

In broad daylight and under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Prince Hairen dared to make such a gesture of love to Empress Uda, who was the empress. The ministers of civil and military affairs and the guards of the harem were shocked.

Ertian Ji, who became the focus, calmed down and chanted a poem casually: "Ziqian is surrounded by the hunting ground, and Jun Ma is wandering. Isn't it unexpected that everyone will see you, and you are proud of your sleeves." Alluding to the prince of the sea, the relationship between the two is now Different identities, don't make strange moves to mislead people!

Born in the Iga family, Uda Hime was born intelligent. When she was young, she learned poetry, poetry and Fu from scholars who had returned from studying abroad in the Tang Dynasty.At the time when she was a maiden in the palace, Uda Hime fell in love with the handsome young prince from the sea.However, witches are not allowed to marry, so Uda Hime can only reluctantly part with the prince of the sea.

As a result, when Prince Zhongda left Prince Xiaode behind and moved the capital to Jinjiang, Ji Uda met unexpectedly with Crown Prince Zhongda. Confused, he secretly resorted to methods to help Uda Ji break away from her status as a witch, and brought her into the harem...

We can't find out what Ertian Ji's feelings for King Ge Cheng are, but she still has affection for Prince Haihai, so in this "Spring Hunting Shows Love" incident, she intends to put aside her relationship with Prince Haihai and make Dahai The human prince's waving of his sleeves was called a 'wrong wave', lest his husband might misunderstand the Hairen prince.

Unexpectedly, the prince from the sea completely ignored Ertian Ji's painstaking efforts, and under the agitation of his emotions, he composed a fiery imperial answer song: "Ziqian and her younger sister are in love with each other, going to and from the hunting ground. Why do you want to be another woman, and you can't miss it?" My gut."

Now, no one will misunderstand that the Hairen prince waved his sleeve wrong...

Zhongchen Lianzu wanted to give up. Although the scandal caused everyone to ignore the whereabouts of King Ge Cheng, but when his king came back, the two brothers were afraid that war would break out again!

I don't know if it was because of too much pressure that Zhongchen fell ill before King Ge Cheng returned from Kyushu.

After returning to Omi, King Ge Cheng didn't care about his harem's scandal with his younger brother, so he went directly to the mansion of Nakatomi Kamazu to visit him.

Nakatomi Kamazu is only in his 40s this year, but he has gone through four generations of Wa kings. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the elder of the four dynasties of the Wa court, but he has always been optimistic about King Gecheng and the brothers of the Hairen prince who will change the Wa kingdom. However, the two had a rift over the issue of succession to the throne, and now they were about to break up because of a woman, which made this man of insight very painful.

Overthinking, coupled with the bad news that the relief food from Datang could not be delivered in time, Nakatomi's sickle foot has a minor ailment and serious illness, and he is bedridden...

The famine problem in the Wa Kingdom is imminent. Even though Omi is not threatened for a while because it is the capital of the kingdom, Nakatomi Kamazu, the Minister of Internal Affairs, is very clear that if the country does not take measures to solve the food problem in a timely manner, the Wa Kingdom Facing catastrophe.

On the sickbed, Zhongchen Lianzu told King Ge Cheng about the scourge that the Wa Kingdom is facing with tears in his eyes, and repeatedly emphasized that he hoped that King Ge Cheng would live in harmony with the prince of Hairen, and he must not act emotionally. Let's talk about the next crisis...

King Ge Cheng has always respected and loved this confidant who is also a teacher, a friend and a brother, so he could only suppress his anger and agreed to his request, and five days later, he asked the prince of Hairen to represent him at the Zhongchen Mansion, and awarded Zhongchen the first class of Lianzu. Crown position: large weaving crown and ministerial position, and given the surname Fujiwara.

Zhongchen Lianzu reluctantly got up from the sickbed to thank Wang En, and left the prince of Hairen to give instructions again.

King Ge Cheng's actions of adding officials and honors and bestowing surnames were originally intended to make Zhongchen Lianzu happy and recover from his illness as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, this act of joy made Zhongchen Lianzu's condition worse in vain, and he let go within two days world...

The death of Zhongchen Kamazu not only caused the Japanese court to lose a mainstay, but also caused the loss of the last and most important buffer between King Ge Cheng and the Hairen prince.

In May of the fifth year of Xianqing, riots broke out in various parts of the Wa Kingdom. Tenant slaves and servants of different scales revolted in places such as Tokaido and Nankaido.

King Ge Cheng sent his elder brother, Prince Hairen, to lead the army to exterminate the rioters, but secretly issued a secret order to the deputy of the army, ordering him to kill Prince Hairen when he led the troops to Owari...

In the end, this matter was learned by Ertian Ji's sister, another favorite concubine of King Ge Cheng...

Therefore, Ertian Ji Xingye slipped out of Dajin Palace, caught up with Prince Hairen in Mino Country in time, and told him King Ge Cheng's plan.

The prince of Hairen immediately killed his brother and sent him a deputy, and fled to his own territory, Nara Castle in Yamato Kingdom, with Uda Hime.

When King Gecheng discovered that Uda Hime was missing, he knew that his plan must have been revealed, so he stopped hiding it and directly ordered the lords of Ise, Kii and other countries around Yamato to let them Raise troops to attack Yamato...

The lords from all over the country of Japan were fooled by King Ge Cheng in the last battle of Baijiang Village and lost a large number of elite soldiers. Before it's too late, who will try their best to attack Yamato?Although the strength of these local lords is fundamentally incapable of resisting the central government, they will not obediently obey the orders of King Ge Cheng. They either push back three times to show that no one can use them, or they ask the court for a lot of food and grass under the pretext of not having enough food and grass. , let the prince of Hairen take advantage of this respite to gain a firm foothold in Nara.

King Ge Cheng is so angry that he doesn't care about his recovery from a serious illness, and the political affairs in the country are still in chaos. He leaves the political affairs to the prince Otomo, who is not yet three years old, and the left and right ministers of the interior. He personally takes command and goes to Yamato to die with his brothers Knock it off...

Just as the country was starving and starving, and the king's brothers were fighting to the death in the east, the islands of Tsushima, Izumo and Kaga in the west of the country were suddenly occupied by the fleet of the Tang army...

--------------------------------------------Begin to beat the dividing line of the Japanese country--- ------------------------------------------

A few days ago, Li Xiaojiu took advantage of the assassination incident in the Jincheng palace to successfully obtain the confession that "the Japanese ordered the Baekje people to assassinate the emperor and empress", and immediately detained the embassy that had followed His Majesty Li Xiaojiu to Silla to send Tang to the Tang Dynasty. Implemented the crime of 'the king of the Japanese country attempted to be unfavorable to the Emperor and Empress of the Tang Dynasty'.

Once the charges are established, it is justifiable to send troops.

Li Xiaojiu simply sat in Jincheng and commanded Chen Mingzhen, Xue Rengui, and Liu Rengui to lead the navy to prepare for the expedition. He also ordered Qibi Heli, the general manager of Liaodong Province, Su Dingfang, the general manager of Pyongyang Province, and Hebei Province, Henan Province, Jingdong Province and other places to jointly organize the battle. Preparing and supervising the transportation of grain and grass.

Because Wu Xu and Li Xiaojiu had planned to attack the Wa Kingdom earlier, the prefectures of the Tang Kingdom had already started stockpiling military supplies, weapons and ships.

This time, there was a riot in the Wa country and sending people to borrow food was originally expected by Wu Xu. At first, she planned to use the opportunity of sending relief food to the country to take down several countries on the west coast of the country by surprise. , and then slowly erode the entire territory of the Wa Kingdom.

I don't want King Gecheng to seek his own death and incite those militants in Baekje to carry out assassinations. Now he doesn't even need to find an excuse to start a war, he just sends someone to fight him. =

After all the food, grass and military equipment were in place, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu ordered someone to issue a message to announce to the world, saying that the country of Japan was so bold and reckless that it dared to instigate assassins to harm the emperor and empress of the suzerain country, which is an unforgivable crime!

Also, the Japanese king was tyrannical, forced to kill the former king, mutilated his brothers, started wars without authorization, trapped the people in misery...

The Great Tang complied with the mandate of heaven to destroy the tyrant, and the world's virtuous people should join in this battle...

For a while, Tubo, Bohai, Nanzhao and other countries responded like a cloud.

On the fifth day of May in the fifth year of Xianqing, Generalissimo Liu Rengui, the vanguard of the Pingwa navy, led a hundred warships to set off from Baekje County. On the same day, he took down the springboard between the peninsula and the country of Japan—Tsushima Island, and won a good start.

At this time, the government had just received the call to action from the Tang Dynasty to conquer Junguo, and they immediately became a group.Or the author has something to say: finally coded to Mie Junguo, Miehaha~?
