"Suspicious? Why do I think this is caution?" The eldest brother of the middle brother gently adjusted the tip of the knife, and the sharp blade fell into the nose of the sea man. As long as you put in a slight force, it would pierce.

"Tell me! Tell the truth!"

"Brother, I'm telling the truth!"

"It's a pity that's not all the truth!" The eldest brother of the Nakazu sighed, "The Princess Saita has indeed attracted you to deal with me and marry you, but you are not here to report the rebellion when you see me tonight!"

"What else can it be?"

"Of course, it is to provoke the in-fight between Prince Saita and I, and then you can make a profit from it!" The eldest brother of Nakada smiled and said, "Since my strategy of sending troops to the Peninsula failed, my reputation among the rich clans has plummeted. The few edicts you issued not long ago have pleased the rich clans and have a lot of reputation. If I go and arrest them according to the list you gave me, no matter what the result is, the rich clans will only hate me even more. At that time, you will fight back again-"

Speaking of this, the eldest brother, Prince Zhong, stopped. He smiled and looked at his brother, with the blade flickering.

"Brother, you're thinking too much!" Prince Dahairen laughed: "I'm the brother of your mother, why can't you trust me more?"

"It is because you are the brother of one of my mothers that I have to think more!" The eldest brother of the middle brother smiled and said, "If you have to say the reason, it is very simple: If I were in your position, I would do this, and I could only do this!"

"Then I have nothing to say!" The Prince of the Seaman sighed helplessly: "You kill me!"

"I want this too, but you know it's impossible!" Prince Nakata took back his knife: "You are lucky. Really, if you had died a few years ago, you would have died like a few years ago. Now the country can no longer withstand a civil war. This is why I know that you and Saitama are making various small moves, but I still pretend not to know."

"Then thank you brother!" The words "I don't believe it" were clearly written on the face of the prince of Dahairen. He sorted out his clothes and stood up to say goodbye, but was stopped by the eldest brother Prince.

"stop!"

"What's wrong, brother?" Prince Dahairen turned around and said, "Do you want me to be under house arrest? Or exile?"

"No, Dahairen, you should marry Shinryo (daughter of the eldest brother and prince, and the niece of Dahairen) as your wife!"

"But, but--" Prince of the Seaman was stunned. He looked at the eldest brother of the first brother in surprise: "I obviously have--"

"Nothing but!" The eldest brother of the Nakazu sneered, "Do you want to say that you have married Saitama? Isn't it announced yet? That is, you are not married yet. Marrying Kaoro Yoshiro will also be good for you. After I ascend the throne, I will make you the heir!"

Dahairen licked his lips, as if weighing the size of the cake his brother threw to him. The eldest brother and prince sneered: "Dahairen, you have to understand that no matter how many conflicts there are between us, we are all brothers. The throne can only be passed on from our lineage. Our problems can be solved in the future, but now we must solve Saitama's problem?"

The Hiraki heard the implicit meaning of his brother - as long as he married his daughter and cut off his alliance with the Saitama Queen, he could live without any blame for the previous incident, but if he refused, the Hiraki would regard him as an enemy and defeat him mercilessly. After weighing the pros and cons, the Hiraki chose to agree.

"Okay, since my brother insists, as a younger brother, I have to accept it!" Prince Dahairen smiled and said, "I'm just a little sorry for Renye-liang!"

"There is nothing to be sorry! The royal family's internal marriage is a tradition!" The eldest brother of the Nakazu smiled and said, "Dahairen, you should come to Kawahara Palace from tomorrow. There are many things to do in the government. I need your help!"

"I understand!" The Prince of the Sea nod nodded and took the first piece of cake thrown by his brother. Kawahara Palace was the bedroom where Emperor Qiming lived when he was alive. At that time, Japan had not had time to imitate the Tang Dynasty to separate the king's court and the government office for handling government affairs. The emperor's court was the actual place of government affairs. Although the eldest brother of the Nakamoto did not ascend the throne, the government affairs were actually in his hands. He invited the Prince of the Sea to Kawahara Palace to actually let him participate in the government affairs and share power.

After seeing off Dahairen, the eldest brother, the prince, returned to the desk and took out the list from the book "Zuo Zhuan". After reading it carefully, he couldn't help but show a sarcastic smile on his lips. As expected, Dahairen played a lot of tricks on this list. His younger brother is really a very happy person! After thinking for a while, he put the list next to the oil lamp. The flames licked the paper, and quickly turned it into a handful of ashes. The breeze blew across the table, turning the book "Zuo Zhuan" several pages, revealing the following text: "Why don't Jiang have any trouble with it? It's better to do something before, and it's hard to draw the vines. The vines are still undefeated, let alone your favor!" The Duke said, "If you do unrighteous things, you will die. I'll take it."

Amaterasu Temple.

When the goddess brought the news that the Tang angel ship appeared on the sea, the princess Saita was praying to the gods in the courtyard.

It was a cold morning, as gray as the sky in the distance. Princess Saita stood under the tree, raised his hands, prayed to the great god Amaterasu, praying for the gods to give her strength and punish her enemies. But the sky was always dark, and the thick clouds blocked the light, which was not a good sign. Did she do something wrong and anger the great god? Princess Saita thought to herself.

Princess Saita noticed the goddess who entered the courtyard. Could it be because someone collided with the ritual? This is not without precedent. The solution is to offer sacrifices, use the offerings the gods like to relieve the gods' anger and win the gods' favor again. Just as Princess Saita was considering what sacrifices to choose, the goddess was already bold and said, "The ship, the ship has arrived!"

"What ship?" Princess Saita frowned, and suddenly felt that maybe it would be a good idea to offer this idiot as a sacrifice to Master Amaterasu.

"The Tang people's ship, a fleet that claimed to be the Tang people's envoy, has arrived in Nambazu (that is, today, the Osaka Port in Japan, was an ancient Japanese Asuka, an important maritime gateway to the Kyoshi region during the Nara period, and it is also the main entrance for ancient mainland immigrants to enter Honshu Island in Japan)!"

"What?" Princess Saita put down her hands and turned around. She strode through the courtyard and climbed the steps. The maid on the side brought slippers to her, put them on, and then she was shawl and her hair crown. While asking the maid to change her clothes for her, the princess asked, "When did it arrive? How many boats are there in total? How big is the boat?"

"I arrived the morning before yesterday, and there were five boats in total, and the smallest one was more than 600 stones!"

Princess Saita breathed a long breath, and joy filled her chest. The size of the ship was a good criterion for judging. There were not many forces in East Asia that could build such a large ship, but then another kind of worry came to my mind: "What's going on over Katsuki? Go and take a look!"

"Abide by the order!"

After the goddess left, the princess Saita quickly returned to peace. She began to think about what changes the situation would bring to the situation by the arrival of the Tang envoy. She gave up soon after. There were too many uncertain things, but one thing was certain - whoever contacted the Tang envoy first would be able to take the lead.

"Come on, prepare the sedan chair! I'm going to Nambazu! Now!"

———————————————————————

Nambazu.

"Nabatsu is ahead, lower the sails!"

The lookout above her head shouted loudly from the top of the mast, and the captain walked back and forth on the deck to give orders. As Nambajin, located at the bottom of the bay, came into view, the entire Tang people's fleet immediately fell into a mess.

Wang Wenzuo knew that hundreds of years ago this coastal highland was completely covered with forests, and only scattered fishermen settled on the shore. As more and more ferrymen came to escape the war on the mainland, their fleet landed here, and then continued to advance inland and explore, gradually forming today's Japanese capital.

Now the coast is full of houses and trestles, and the river is full of ships of large and small toes, and it is obvious that the Japanese capital has a large population, otherwise there would be no need for so many ships to transport supplies.

"This reminds me of Guangyuntan in Chang'an!" Cui Hongdu whispered.

Wang Wenzuo nodded silently. The Guangyuntan that Cui Hongdu mentioned was located in the lower reaches of the Ba River in Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty and was also the largest river port in Chang'an. The canal ships coming from all over the country gathered there, around Guangyuntan.

The warehouse is also the life of hundreds of thousands of people in Chang'an City, and it has the title of the World Kitchen. Wang Wenzu, who came from later generations, knows more: Namba Tsu is today's Osaka, Japan, but unlike the Warring States period and modern Japan, at that time, Hanoi, Japan, the two Linhai Lingling countries were just a large shallow sea. Namba Tsu is a highland deep into the bay, and the Nara Basin is an open wetland lake. There are many rivers surrounding the mountains and rivers flow into the Nara Lake, and then

It is not surprising that people who arrived in the Japanese archipelago in the early days chose this place as their destination. After arriving in Nambatzu, they went upstream and entered Nara Lake, and could easily and conveniently reach all corners of the basin without going deep into the wind and waves of Osaka Bay. It is like a natural harbor that is inland but can directly reach the ocean. Moreover, there are large areas of fertile land around the lake for cultivation, which can be said to be a natural place to choose.

"A boat of ours is so big, I'm afraid you have to be careful of being stranded when you walk in the water!" Cui Hongdu whispered.

"It's okay, at most unload the goods, so there should be no big problem!" Wang Wenzuo smiled and said, "The boat is always worried when it stops in the outer sea!"

"Um!"

The sudden arrival of the Tang people's fleet immediately caused panic among the Japanese on the shore. More than a dozen fast ships responded. Wang Wenzuo ordered the soldiers not to open fire and informed the boat of his identity and purpose. After about half an hour, the Japanese sent a water diversion officer to lead the Tang ship to dock, but the officials at the port said that before receiving the reply from the capital, the Tang ship could only park in the port, and the crew on the ship could not go ashore.

"It's okay, this is also the right thing to do!" Wang Wenzuo nodded after understanding the Japanese official's answer from the interpreter's interpretation: "Sangqiu, you can get this person a gift, and meeting you will be destined to be together!"

The Japanese official heard the translation of the translation and saw a pair of celadon ware sent by Sanqiu. He knew it was a top-notch Tang product. He was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him. Wang Wenzuo nodded: "You ask him how many people there are on the ship this time, each of them has a small gift, and everyone will have a share!"

The Japanese official heard that the sailor crew members who were traveling with him also had gifts, so he shouted loudly. When Sanqiu asked the interpreter, he realized that the Japanese official said there was no need to be such trouble. He just gave him all the gifts, and he would naturally give them to others after he went back.

"That won't happen! The master said that everyone has a share, who knows if you will embezzle it alone!"

When the Japanese officials heard this, their faces looked a little bad, but in the end they asked the sailors to come. Sanqiu distributed them one by one in front of everyone, with three feet of silk cloth wrapped in two taels of tea (the tea was regarded as a rare drug at that time). Although most of them did not know what was wrapped in silk cloth, they still knew the silk cloth and kowtowed to Sanqiu to thank them, while the Japanese official stood aside and whispered.

"What the hell did that guy say?" Sancho asked the translator in a low voice.

"He said he would feed the cows and eat good rice! Perhaps it was a waste to reward these good things to those sailors!"

"This guy!" Sanqiu smiled and said, "Is it not wasteful to give him one person? A joke!"

Perhaps because of the pair of celadon vessels, the Japanese were very attentive next. They led Wang Wenzuo's fleet to a sandbank. In the afternoon of that day, they brought a lot of fresh vegetables, fish, eggs and wine. In the evening, they also set up a bamboo shed on the sandbank and sent twenty young women, which made the Tang Dynasty sailors on the ship happy.

"Mr. Fu, how long do you think the Japanese will let us enter the capital?" Cui Hongdu put down his wine glass. The rice wine sent by the Japanese tasted very light, which made Cui Hongdu feel a little unstoppable.

"I don't know yet!" Wang Wenzuo smiled: "But there is nothing wrong with it here!"

"There is nothing wrong here?" Cui Hongdu laughed: "I think it's better to build Zi here, at least there is a palace there!"

"Sangqiu, go and call Cao Sengnu!" Wang Wenzuo ordered and said to Cui Hongdu: "Hongdu, have you forgotten what you said just now? This Nambajin is the Japanese Guangyuntan! Isn't there a lot to do?"

"Do you want to do business with the Japanese here?" Cui Hongdu asked.

"Of course, otherwise why did I be so generous before? Everyone gives me a meeting gift?

As an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, are you still afraid that a Japanese official would make things difficult for me?”
