Japan, Asuka Mahara and Faxing Temple, a grand ceremony is underway. This newly built Buddhist temple has now welcomed an extremely noble gift, which is a Buddha statue sent by a ship in the Central Plains who feared the storm and crossed the sea.

For Japan, Buddha statues are precious, and this Buddha statue cannot be measured by any value, because it is a Buddha statue carved from strange wood sandalwood.

The Tathagata carved a body of a sandalwood Buddha statue, which was three feet and five inches tall, and was fragrant all over the body. Wherever the Buddha statue went, the fragrance became new for a long time.

Minister Su Imazi, on the order of the king of Japan, went to Nambajin to welcome the Buddha statue, and then escorted the Buddha statue all the way to Faxing Temple in Asuka Mahara. There were tides of viewing along the way.

Even if it is not for the Buddha statue, it is for the strange fragrance. Sandalwood (sandalwood) is worth a thousand gold in Japan. A piece of sandalwood with fragrance can be exchanged for gold of the same size.

This is still worthless, let alone a Buddha statue carved from sandalwood, which is more expensive than a golden Buddha statue of the same size.

In the main hall, the rituals were underway. Minister Su Mumazi led the court officials to salute the Buddha statues while reciting scriptures. The village owner Simada and his son Simana were excitedly talking to someone.

"The Buddha statue sent by the noble envoy is so expensive. I don't know how to thank King Xiyang for his kindness."

"Sima Village Master, this Buddha statue is the only wish of my king. I wish the village master's teachings in Japan will be smooth sailing from now on."

"Inheriting the King of Xiyang, inheriting the King of Xiyang!"

Simada and others were so excited that their hands were trembling. He had been in Japan for decades and was running around in order to promote Buddhism. Now, it was easy to survive until the situation became more favorable. He suddenly arrived at the three sea boats in Hakata, bringing exciting gifts.

It was a gift sent by the royal family of the Zhou Kingdom of Central Plains, Yuwen Wen, ordered people to send people. The most precious one was the sandalwood Buddha statue, which just brought supreme glory to the newly completed Faxing Temple.

Such a priceless treasure, even the king of Japan, was moved by it. If it weren't for the etiquette and now leading officials to salute in the hall, it would be the minister Su I-Mazi.

"I returned from the Central Plains last year. At that time, I knew that the Zhou Kingdom was about to recover my old place. Now Yuwen Huangzhou was named King of Xiyang. It is really gratifying. Now the envoy was ordered to send this priceless Buddha statue. It's really... I don't know how to return the gift."

"Sima Village Master, you can spare the gift from me. Before leaving, the king repeatedly told me not to charge a penny of gift from me, otherwise it would be difficult to explain when I go back."

Speaking of this, Zhang Yu was not false: "The king asked Sima Village Master to say more beautiful words in front of the ministers for those things he had said before."

"How dare you? The minister Su and I have no objection to the wish of King Xiyang. After the ceremony is over, the minister will receive the envoy. There will be no problem with those matters."

"It's good, and it's not in vain for me to wait for this trip."

Zhang Yu turned into the room next to him for a while. He didn't expect that he could actually arrive in Japan alive, enter the sea from the mouth of the Yangtze River, and sailed eastward with the latitude unchanged. After nine days, he actually arrived at a large island.

Sailing north along the edge of this big island, we arrived at the Hakata Port, a Japanese port that we had visited back then. After some twists and turns, we contacted people who stayed in the local area such as the village owner of Anzuo, Simada.

When he learned that he was carrying valuable gifts, local officials did not dare to neglect them. While sending people to the capital to send messages, they arranged for them to stay in Hakata. Zhang Yu naturally would not board the 6th, so he took people to guard the boat. When he was bored, he learned about the situation in Japan from the other party.

I didn't know if I didn't ask, but I was shocked when I asked, the situation in Japan had changed decisively just like the situation in the Central Plains.

The political forces in the Japanese court were divided into two factions, one was the old nobles with the Wubu clan, and the other was the new nobles with the Suwo clan. The confrontation between the two factions was just like the Zhou and Sui countries in the Central Plains, and the outcome had been decided.

Three years ago, King Minda of Waguo passed away. At the funeral, Minister Su Imazi read the eulogy. He was ridiculed by Dalian Fooyao as "like an arrow bird" when it was the turn of Fooyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyaoyao

The two and the forces behind them were no longer incompatible. The prince who succeeded to the throne was born by Su I, Mazi's sister Su I, and his half-brother, Prince Hoi, was dissatisfied and colluded with the guard house of the Ministry of Welfare.

Later, when the new king fell ill and wanted to believe in Buddhism to eliminate disasters. When he summoned his ministers to discuss, the old nobles such as the Ministry of Welfare and the Ministry of Welfare strongly opposed it, but Su I, who advocated worshipping Buddhism, had a great momentum and could only accept the disadvantage.

Not long after, the new king died of illness. The Ministry of Welfare wanted to "go to the brothers and brothers" to support the prince of the Azuki tribe ascended the throne, while Su I-Mazi "get" his niece, the queen of King Minda, and make the decision first and send people to kill the Prince of the Azuki tribe who intends to cause chaos.

Now that things have come to this point, only war can solve the problem. Last June, the Civil War of Japan broke out. The Suwo family and the Wubu family started a decisive battle, and finally ended with the coalition forces commanded by the Suwo family breaking the Wubu family's nest.

The Fobu clan was destroyed, and the Suwo clan won a great victory. Suwo Mazi supported another prince to succeed the throne, and his power grew stronger and stronger.

He eliminated political enemies and controlled the government and finally could show his ambitions. One of them was to promote Buddhism. Zhang Yu's arrival was just right. The extremely noble sandalwood Buddha statue opened the curtain for Japan's promotion of Buddhism.

"Lieutenant Zhang, I have something to ask about." The companion next to me asked, and Zhang Yu nodded and continued.

"This Japanese minister, Su, seems to be a powerful minister?"

"That is, just like Prime Minister Yuchi of our country, he holds the power of the court, and is less than one person than ten thousand people."

"Then, uh..." the companion came over and whispered in Zhang Yu's ear: "Can we, Minister Su, will... become the king of Japan in the future?"

Zhang Yu looked serious when he heard this: "You can't talk nonsense. The matter in Japan has nothing to do with us. Don't talk nonsense in private. If something goes wrong, it will be bad."

"Of course, my subordinates know the severity of the matter, but the king asked us to understand the affairs of Japan, so he asked this question."

"In a few days, the Sima village owner will explain the national conditions of Japan carefully. Let's first understand a general idea before we can ask questions. Otherwise, if this is a newcomer, I don't know what to ask."

The companions have constant questions: "I think the secrets of national conditions cannot be revealed together, right? I'm afraid that they will deliberately mislead if they are true or false."

"Or what do you want?" Zhang Yu laughed. Before the trip, Yuwen Wen told him to inquire about the situation in Japan, but it doesn't need to be too careful, just roughly figure it out.

For example, what is the situation in the Kazumada Island where Hakata Port is located now? Which king is in power in the kingdom of Japan? How many vassal states are there under the rule of Japan, etc.

This kind of problem is suspected of spying on the national conditions. Zhang Yu did not intend to sneak in, but asked Simada directly, and the reason was also high-sounding: If the King of Xiyang wants to promote the court to send angels to Japan in the future, he must first explain the brief of Japan to the emperor, right?

I can't figure out anything and I don't know anything after asking or asking, and then I will be considered to have ulterior motives. I collude with internal and external forces and find a small island to lie about Japan and deceive the court's property.

This is an open conspiracy, and the other party couldn't help but not say it. Of course, I don't know how true or false it is, but Zhang Yu didn't care, because the focus of the man's attention was not on this.

"Has the carrier pigeon been released?" Zhang Yu asked. This was his only way to inform the country, although he did not give much hope for the success rate.

"I let it go, Xiyang and Jiankang all have a group of people. I just don't know if I can fly back. Alas, it's probably thousands of miles from Japan to Xiyang. Can the pigeons really fly back?"

"Who knows? At least Jiankang is closer. As long as he escapes the raptor and the storm, he will arrive safely."

Fei Ge sent a letter to him, just to report safety. The instructions from the man-master were not received at all. Zhang Yu shouldered the heavy responsibility and would never let the man-master's order fail: spend a lot of money to open a new route, cross the Black Water Ocean to Japan without fear of hardships, and do not do any business!
