Chapter 1805 Lobbying again
"Prince Katsuragi was seduced by traitors, killed the ministers, and killed the emperor. The Usuga family fought back to clean up the traitors! With a little propaganda and guidance, the entire Japanese country believed that the Usuga family was a white jade pillar holding up the sky and a purple gold beam holding up the sea. Only Only my family can ensure the stability of Japan! This is a God-given opportunity!”
When Soga Ezo saw Soga Ezo, his eyes lit up and he tried his best to persuade Soga Ezo, hoping that Soga Ezo could take this opportunity to go further and push his family to the pinnacle of Japan's supreme power!
However, Soga Ezo shook his head and said: "My uncle thought simply... Even if this incident will make the world think that the royal family is unworthy, my family will get more sympathy and respect. However, once we usurp the throne of the emperor, this sympathy will and respect will be reversed in an instant, becoming a thorn in the eyes and flesh of the feudal states and nobles in the world, and everyone will be betrayed, and everyone will be beaten!"
He had already thought of this path, but he knew better that the consequences he would face once he was so radical would probably be something that the Suga family would not be able to bear.
Fighting the whole world with the strength of one family?
No matter how arrogant Soga Ezo was, he would not dare to have such unrealistic confidence.
But apparently Suamalishi doesn’t think so...
He stared at Soga Ezo with a very excited expression and shouted in a low voice: "I know that your son and brother died in this mutiny successively, which made you feel discouraged and unwilling to make progress. You just hope to stabilize the situation as soon as possible. , so that you can enjoy the rest of your life in this Asuka Temple. But you have to think clearly, you don’t! He is just the father of Soga Iruka, not only the brother of Soga Ishikawa Maro, but also the old head of the Soga family! You have the responsibility and the obligation to lead the family to move forward bravely in the face of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, instead of reacting passively. , missed opportunity! ”
Soga Ezo did not expect that this old and shabby uncle would be so enthusiastic about the position of emperor...
However, he could also understand the temptation of that position for everyone who could reach it, so he was not annoyed, but patiently persuaded: "Uncle misunderstood, how can I be indifferent to that position? It's just that the involvement at this time is too important. , once you step forward, the backlash you will receive His power far exceeds his uncle's imagination. When faced with the siege of the world, if he is not careful, he will die and his family will be destroyed! It is better to play it safe and support the elder brother of the ancients to ascend the throne. The Wusu family still holds the power of regent and advances and retreats. Isn’t it better to be comfortable?”
Suama Lishi was disappointed in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
He knew that his nephew was determined and arbitrary and never listened to dissuasion. No matter what he said, he could not make him change his mind. He could only nod his head and said: "In this case, everything will be done according to your wishes. I am here I don’t have the energy to take care of these trivial matters, so just make the decision. I support you in all decisions.”
Soga Ezo said: "Thank you uncle for your understanding."
The two exchanged some views on the situation, and then Sumarishi left Asuka Temple and returned to Asuka Kyo again.
On the way, Sumarishi's heart was ups and downs...
Soga Ezo's words are reasonable, but Soga Ezo's words are not believed to be from the bottom of his heart.
The position of the Emperor is undoubtedly supreme, but whoever wants to usurp it must bear considerable risks. Soga Ezo's son is dead and his brother is dead. Even if he holds the throne of emperor in his hands, who can he pass it on to? Pass it on to the descendants of the family who have gradually faded away in blood, but have to bear the risk of becoming eternal sinners if they fail?
So Soga Ezo ignored this easy opportunity to become the emperor and chose a safer, easier and less error-prone path...
This frustrated him.
The power of the entire Soga family came from the eldest brother Soga Umako, and it went further when it was passed into the hands of Soga Ezo. Although his Soga family was senior, he actually did not have much influence on the family. Now that Soga Ezo is opposed to usurping the throne, there is nothing he can do.
Even if he insists on having his own way, besides being able to command the thousands of dead soldiers around him, how can he command all the soldiers of the Suga family?
Feeling depressed, Sumarishi simply did not go to the palace. Instead, he returned to his mansion in Beijing, sat in the hall and sulked...
What a great opportunity, just slipped away like this.
What a sigh!
Just as he was sighing, the servant suddenly came to report: "The envoy from Silla came to visit."
"...Silla envoy?"
Suama Lishi was slightly stunned, frowning and confused, why did the Silla envoy come to visit him? On the one hand, he does not hold an official position in the palace, and on the other hand, he is not a talkative person in the family. He has become a reclusive person in his old age. Even many officials in Asuka Capital do not know who he is. Moreover, he has nothing to do with the Baekje royal family. The relationship is better...
I was in a bad mood and wanted to refuse, but when the words came to my lips, I changed my mind and said, "Invite him in, and order someone to prepare the tea. Don't wait any longer."
"Yes."
The servant responded, turned and left.
Soon, he led two young people into the house...
Suama Lishi frowned slightly, how ignorant was this Silla envoy that he actually brought his entourage with him?
Jin Famin took a step forward and saluted: "Junior Silla Jin Famin, my father Jin Chunqiu, I have met you sir."
Suama's frowning eyebrows instantly relaxed, and he laughed and said: "It turns out that we are old friends. I haven't seen your father for many years. Is he still in good health?"
The appearance changed so quickly not because he heard that Jin Famin was the queen of Jin Chunqiu, but because of Jin Famin's "Sir". In this era, the word "sir" is not something you can call a man when you see him on the street in later generations, but it expresses respect and admiration.
It is not only a respectful title for elders, but also an admiration for people with profound knowledge. Except for one's mentor, if one calls anyone "sir", it represents a very high praise.
The land of Japan is small and the people are ignorant, and few people are literate. Souma Rishi has never been called "sir" a few times in his life...
Jin Famin said respectfully: "Thanks to Mr., my father is in good health, but he often talks to our juniors about his past missions to Japan. He has been taught by Mr. many times, and he dare not or forget. He told the juniors to visit Mr. Wang and represent him on his behalf when he arrived in Japan. Express your admiration.”
It has to be said that Jin Famin is not only a well-rounded person, but also has an excellent temperament, and his words are like a breath of fresh air. He is indeed a top diplomat.
Suama Lishi took advantage of his body, squinted his eyes, and asked with a smile: "You are a young man who can talk, but do you want to deceive me into being old and stupid? Tell me, why did you come to see me today? ”
He is getting old, but he is not confused.
How could he, a mere clan elder, make Jin Chunqiu, the first person under the Queen of Silla, so concerned?
He doesn’t even believe it himself...
Jin Famin did not make any excuses and said: "I am honoring my father's order to come here to visit, and by the way, I will also introduce a friend to my husband..."
Sumo Lishi's eyes turned to the young man next to Jin Famin, who had fine features and elegant weapons. The young man leaned slightly to salute and said loudly: "I am the king of the Tang Dynasty, Xuance, who joined the army for the Marquis of Huating. I have met my predecessors."
Sumarishi's eyelids twitched suddenly, and he said in surprise: "Since you are from Tang Dynasty joining the army, why do you want to see the old man?"
He had heard the name Huatinghou of the Tang Dynasty many times in the past two days.
He occupied Sado Island unreasonably and refused to withdraw his troops, which made the whole court very angry. However, due to the invincible naval fleet under his command, they were helpless and did not know how to deal with it. Some people advocated a head-on confrontation and sent a large army to drive them away, while others suggested that they should not quarrel with the Tang Dynasty and instead send people to negotiate.
As a result, Prince Katsuragi, who was sent to discuss Sado Island with Marquis Huating, did not go at all. He faked a shot and sneaked into the palace to plan a mutiny. He succeeded in assassinating Souga Nirika as he wished, but was defeated and instead took a chance on him. My own life...
The appearance of Huating Hou's subordinates in Asuka Jing was surprising enough, but now that he ran in front of him, it made Suama Lishi confused...
Wang Xuance smiled indifferently and said: "My Lord Hou ordered me to come to Feiniao Jing to get acquainted with some Japanese nobles and choose one of them who can become a long-term ally with them. I, Jiumusu, have brought Feiniao with me because of my family's style." I was the first one to visit Soga Ezo-senpai after Beijing, but the result was not ideal... Soga Ezo-senpai is a great man of his generation, and he is a great planner. Wei Wei is in charge of the world, but he seems to have little interest in forming an alliance with my family. He only hopes to be able to maintain the success, and lacks some pioneering and enterprising spirit... But looking at the Japanese government and the public, the Suga family is actually the best partner. I am willing to give up and come here specifically to see the old gentleman, hoping that the old gentleman can mediate and persuade Suga Ezo-senpai.”
As soon as Jin Famin returned to Feiniao Temple, Wang Xuance asked him what happened in Feiniao Jingzhong. Jin Famin naturally told him everything he knew without any deception. Wang Xuance was sensitive to the opportunities contained in it. Since Soga Ezo was unwilling to cooperate with Datang, he might as well start from within the Soga family and persuade the elders of various clans to put pressure on Soga Ezo.
Jin Famin proposed to visit Sumama Rise, whose status was not inferior to Sumaga Ezo...(End of Chapter)
