Chapter 1794 The continuation of the family
There will always be problems of one kind or another between powerful ministers and emperors, which are determined by the respective interests of both parties. The greater the influence of powerful ministers, the deeper the rift between them will be. This is inevitable.
Wang Xuance, who settled down among the various parties in Asuka Temple that night, did not know that he was just ordered by Fang Jun to come to establish a line with the Soga clan, so that there would be an "secret aid" in the subsequent battle for Sado Island. If This can make the Suga family and Tian It would have been better if the emperor was licentious, but he had no idea that he happened to encounter the Suga clan facing a huge crisis. His twenty sets of heavy armor and his promise actually gave the Suga clan the courage to risk everything in desperate situations... …
Soga Ezo thought very simply, why did Fang Jun show his favor to him?
It's nothing more than the pursuit of profit.
Whether he is the commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty, or the founder of the Shipping Department who controls the merchants and goods of the merchants in the south of the Tang Dynasty, having an ally like Su Wo will definitely maximize the benefits.
The Soga clan risked their lives to fight. If they were jointly killed by the royal family and the Confucian group in Asuka Capital, everything would be over. But as long as they could occupy the palace and seize the highest power in the Japanese country, Fang Jun's Royal Navy would definitely help. He fought against the ensuing joint crusade from all the feudal states in the world.
In the final analysis, it is nothing more than transferring benefits. As long as the price is sufficient, there will be no surprises...
Soga Ezo is not young, but he is by no means a stickler for rules. Otherwise, he would not have started a protracted "battle of faith" with the Mononobe clan because he admired Buddhism and deposed the gods believed by the ancestors of the Japanese. The Mononobe clan, which had shown strong official strength for generations, was completely defeated.
The sky outside was getting darker and darker, and the tall pines and cypresses gradually turned into dancing shadows in the night. Soga Ezo's heart gradually calmed down.
Having experienced countless storms and waves in my life, I have already developed the habit of becoming calmer and calmer when encountering major events.
Impulse is the devil, and only by being calm can one think carefully. After he sat back on the coffee table, he drank tea slowly while calculating the success or failure of each step in detail in his mind...
It wasn't until midnight that Soga Ezo got up and walked out of the Zen room in high spirits.
Including Soga Rika, countless loyal members of the Soga family were waiting outside the door. These people stood silently under the tree in front of the door without saying a word. When they saw Soga Ezo walking out, they immediately became excited!
These people are all the confidants of Soga Ezo and his son. They have already learned about the current situation from Soga Irukaide, and they fully support the decision of Soga and his son.
Either die in humiliation and humiliation, and the whole family will be destroyed, or die by shedding blood and die a worthy death!
If you are lucky enough to survive, it will be the meritorious service of supporting the Soga family to replace the emperor and achieve hegemony. The Soga family has reached the pinnacle of control of the Tianxian. Each of these tribesmen and generals has contributed to the dragon, and their descendants will be hereditary. The nobles!
Now that you are on the verge of death, if you fight to the death, you will die!
Although Soga Ezo is old, his momentum has not faded by half, and his influence in the hearts of these tribesmen and generals has not diminished. Every word he says is more important than the emperor's decree.
He stood at the door of the Zen room and gave orders. As he issued the orders one after another, some people immediately took the orders and left quickly to prepare...
Finally, Soga Ezo looked at Soga Nirika and said in a deep voice: "My family cannot be the first to attack the emperor, so tomorrow even if the palace is to be a mountain of swords, a sea of fire, a dragon, a tiger's den, my son will have to go through it. If..."
"Father, don't worry!"
Su Garulu's body was majestic, his eyes were bright, and he showed his domineering attitude: "Katsuragi kid, you are nothing but a dog with dog ears! If you are not careful, you may still be plotted by the dirty rats. Now everything is ready, as long as If those people make any move, the child will kill no one with his sword! At that time, he will kill the Emperor Touguque and greet his father at Bangai Palace, thus accomplishing the great mission of the Usoga clan!"
Soga Ezo nodded slowly, but his mood was slightly complicated.
Thinking of the man in the Itagai Palace who committed himself to him even before he had hair, and regarded him as a great hero who was willing to give up his virginity on his own pillow, and maintained a happy relationship for several years until he single-handedly supported him and became the treasure of Emperor Kogi. The princess, now has to use her blood to achieve the eternal greatness of the Soga family, which is not just a feeling...
Seeing that his father was still silent, Soga Niruka asked again: "In recent years, my uncle has become very close to Prince Katsuragi's family. The relationship between the two parties is very close. I'm afraid something unexpected may happen..."
Soga Ezo suddenly stared and yelled: "Fart! Even if I die, I will never touch a hair of your uncle!"
Su Wo Rulu was startled and quickly shut up, but he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart.
His uncle Soga Ishikawa Maro and Katsuragi Prince's confidant Kamazu had a close friendship. They became even closer to each other in the past few years. They often traveled in the same car and slept in the same bed. There had long been rumors of "an internal schism within the Soga clan." news, the outside world has speculated that Su I, Maro Ishikawa, wanted to replace Soga Noroka with Soga Ezo after his death. However, every time Soga Noroka mentioned this matter, he was severely scolded by his father, telling him not to meddle in other people's business, and not to touch his uncle's property. Wrong brain......
It's just that Su Wo Rulu respected and feared his father, and didn't dare to disobey him in the slightest. Even if he was not angry in his heart, he could only lower his eyebrows and lower his eyes, turn around and leave.
Looking at the back of his son, Soga Ezo, Soga Ezo's eyes became increasingly dark and unreadable. He naturally knew that after him, his son would also become a guest of Princess Takara. However, looking at his son's excitement, he could not help but sharpen his knife. , completely heartless, and now even my uncle has no flesh and blood, I can't help but secretly sigh.
Even though ruthlessness can reduce worries and is a prerequisite for achieving hegemony, it is still too impersonal.
I don’t know whether to scold or praise...
*****
Since the beginning of autumn, it has been raining heavily in Asukajing and it has not cleared up for a long time.
Soga Ishikawa Maro got up early and had breakfast. Then, under the service of the maid, he changed into a snow-white middle coat, put on court clothes, sat in the hall, drank tea, and waited for the time to go to court.
Today is the day when the "Three Koreas" pay tribute. As the minister in charge of foreign affairs of the imperial court, Soga Ishikawa Maro must be present.
It was raining lightly outside, and a burst of rapid footsteps sounded outside the door. Then the door was knocked open with a "bang", and brother Su Wochi, the younger brother of the same mother, walked in quickly, with a panic look on his face, and whispered: "Brother, Something bad happened!”
Soga Ishikawa Maro frowned slightly, put down the tea cup, and reprimanded: "How can you be so frizzy and frizzy?"
Brother Su Gachi pretended not to hear anything. He took two steps forward and came to his brother. He lowered his voice and said, "I received news that all the dead people in the middle of the tribe gathered in Ganqiaoqiu Mountain City last night. Even the monks in Feiniao Temple also Be prepared, something big will happen!”
Soga Ishikawa Maro frowned secretly and said nothing.
Brother Su Gaochi looked around and saw no one approaching, so he asked in a low voice: "Brother, do you think my uncle knows that we intend to assassinate our cousin today, so he wants to take action first and eradicate our brothers... ”
"Shut up!"
Soga Ishikawa Maro gave a deep shout, glared at his brother, and said decisively: "Don't mention this matter again, just be aware of it. No matter how the situation changes, everything will go according to plan!"
Brother Su Wachi was very anxious and said: "If my uncle is on guard, and we still attack our cousin, wouldn't we be asking for death..."
"Bang!"
Soga Ishikawa Maro threw the teacup on the table at Soga Aka-nii's forehead. The teacup shattered and blood flowed down. In the blink of an eye, half of Soga Aka-nii's face was dyed red.
"If you dare to talk about this again, believe it or not, I will kill you with one sword?"
Seeing his brother's eyes widening with a stern expression, Brother Su Wochi was so frightened that his heart trembled. Even though he was a little aggrieved and didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, he did not dare to refute. He could only cover his wound and said: "It's my brother's fault." , I dare not speak nonsense anymore..."
Soga Ishikawa Maro scolded: "Get out! Treat the wounds properly and act according to the original plan. Never make your own decisions or act without authorization!"
"Yes!"
Brother Su Wachi looked depressed, covering his forehead and hurried away...
Soga Ishikawa Maro looked at his brother's back, the anger in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by confusion.
The most important reason why ancient aristocratic families have been able to stand firm for thousands of years is that they never put their eggs in one basket. Whenever faced with a crisis when the world is unstable and the situation is changing, their descendants often stand in different positions. camp.
No matter what the result is, there will always be one team that will continue the glory and inherit the family business...
The Soga family has been prosperous for hundreds of years. In recent decades, even the emperor has been in control of the Tianxian. It is already a situation where prosperity must decline.
The father and son of Soga Ezo are in power, and at the same time they are full of enemies. Once the Soga family falls, it will inevitably provoke a group of people to attack them, and the day of annihilation of the clan is not far away.
That's why Soga Ishikawa Maro went against Soga Ezo's will, opposed Soga Irika, and stood in the camp of Prince Katsuragi.
But why did his uncle Soga Ezo, who had already accepted his fate, make such a big move? Could it be that you want to give it a try and compete with the sky?
