Coming out of the Sakurada Gate in Edo Castle, Masayuki Hoshina didn't go anywhere, and went straight back to his Aizu Domain.

Like most feudal lords in Japan, Masayuki Hoshina lived in the Edo domain for a long time, rather than in the main domain. However, in order to show that he valued Aizu, he still had some of his family live in Wakamatsu Castle, where the Aizu Domain was located, for a long time, including one of his daughters, Hoshina Takako, who is now Tokugawa Takako, born to a side room. As the daughter of a feudal lord, Takako lived in Wakamatsu Castle from the day she was born, and did not come to the Edo Castle mansion until the year before, when she turned 15.

And as soon as she entered Edo, she attracted the attention of countless people because of her beauty and tallness.

Masayuki Hoshina has many children, and most of them are distinguished by their appearance - he himself was born tall and handsome, and several of his side rooms are outstanding northern beauties, and the children born are of course easy to inherit excellent looks. Therefore, in Edo today, it is said that "Mito is smart, Aizu is beautiful".

And Takako is the most outstanding in the "beauty of Aizu", and it is also the one that makes Masayuki Hoshina feel the most embarrassed...... Gao Zi is very beautiful, his eyebrows are like distant mountains, his nose is like greasy, his lips are like flowers, his eyes are charming, his skin is fair, and his figure is even more upright and plump. At a young age, the "mind" is already quite impressive!

But once such an outstanding beauty stands up, it is a little embarrassing.

Because this girl is so tall, so high that the samurai sons of Edo are deterred...... In fact, he blames Bao Ke Zhengzhi for this, he is tall himself, and he likes to eat meat secretly! also passed both of these points to Gaozi, and as a result, Gaozi's height was out of control.

Now the martial arts boys that Masayuki Baoshi can find who are in the same household as Gao Zi are at least half a head shorter than Gao Zi, and some are even a head shorter!

The people who can marry Takako are all well-known high-level samurai, how can they be a head shorter than their wives everywhere?

Moreover, this tall man was not only tall, but also liked to dance with knives and guns, and shoot arrows on horseback - all of which were the result of living in the Aizu countryside for a long time!

The whole Ichino girl!

If it is now a troubled time in the Warring States period, it is nothing, and the daughter of the Warring States Daimyo will not only protect herself with a little art of war and martial arts, but also help teach her son.

But now is the peaceful and prosperous era, how can the wife of a high-ranking samurai in the peaceful and prosperous era be a "Ji military general"?

So since the year before last, Masayuki Hoshina has been worrying about his daughter's marriage...... As a result, that kid from Tokugawa Mitsukuni actually proposed to send Gaozi to Nanjing to dedicate to the Ming Emperor!

Masayuki Hoshina actually disapproves of this, but he can't openly say no-Aizu Domain doesn't exist for the sake of the shogun's family? Now a daughter is reluctant?

So while agreeing to this matter, Masayuki Baoke still has a trace of fantasy - this matter should not be so easy to do, maybe because of some differences between the two sides.

Therefore, he never mentioned this matter to his daughter Gaozi......

But today it must be said!

Because Mito's clever man, Guangguo, was going to go on a trip to the Ming Dynasty in the name of escorting Gaozi to the Nanjing court, and the purpose should be to find out the actual situation of the Ming Dynasty navy...... If the Ming Dynasty navy was defeated by the Spaniards, then Japan might be able to return to a stable life of seclusion and seclusion.

If the Ming Navy can continue to fight, then the Tokugawa shogunate will have to fight with it!

No matter what, we have to destroy the scheming Satsuma Domain!

However, for Gao Zi, it is inevitable to be far away from his hometown in Japan and enter the harem of the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty like the tiger's den in Longtan alone...... The palace fight of the Celestial Empire is very powerful, can Gao Zi, a little girl who has no scheming and is "weak", stand it?

When the preoccupied Baoshi Masayuki got out of a small sedan chair, he saw a tall girl in a bow shirt jumping up and down.

"Gaozi!" Masayuki Baoke couldn't help but roar when he saw this wild girl.

"Father." Gao Zi playfully stuck out his tongue, and then bowed properly.

"You come into the house with me!" Masayuki Hoshina gave an order and walked into the house.

Gao Zi and Masayuki's little surname hurriedly followed, and a maid had already knelt in front of the sliding door, opened the sliding door for His Royal Highness Aizu, and then bowed to the ground. Bao Ke stopped at the door and said to his little surname: "You stay here, no one can approach without my order!" ”

"Hay!" The little surname answered, and then stood at the door on his knees.

Masayuki Hoshina and Takako entered the house, and then the father and daughter knelt down facing each other. Bao Ke Zhengzhi frowned and said, "Gao Zi...... Prepare for my father to send you to the palace to serve the emperor. ”

"Huh? I? Gao Zi was startled and looked at his father in a daze, "Father, my daughter is not from a public family, can she also serve His Majesty the Emperor?" ”

"Emperor, hum! It's almost gone! ”

"The emperor is gone...... Takako was completely stunned, what's wrong with his father? Could it be that he was confused by the stupid public party?

"Gaozi!" Masayuki Hoshina looked at his daughter, his face was gloomy and terrifying, "Let me tell you a secret, the Tokugawa family is ready to be a rebel and a thief!" ”

"Father, what did you say?" Takako looked at his father with a surprised expression, "How can the Tokugawa family be a rebel and a thief?" The whole world belongs to the Tokugawa family! ”

Oh, yes! The whole world belongs to the Tokugawa family, how can the Tokugawa family be a rebellious minister and thief?

"That's why my father said that the emperor would be gone!" "The old and Chinese collegials will abolish the emperor and respect the prince as the king of Japan!" ”

"This ......" Gao Zi was so surprised today, he looked at his father in great confusion, and thought: What the hell is wrong? If you deserve a good general, why should you be a king? And being a king doesn't have to abolish the emperor!

And...... Why do you talk to yourself about this kind of thing? He is not a hereditary successor, and he is not about to marry a general as a royal station.

Hoshina Masaichi's face was straight: "Takako, do you know why there is an emperor in Japan?" ”

"Know! Because the emperor is a descendant of Amaterasu......"

"Nonsense!" Masayuki Hoshina glared at his daughter, "The reason why Japan has an emperor is to make Japan independent of the sea and not become a vassal of China. But if the general trend has changed today, the sea of waves can no longer block China and Japan...... Around the Japanese archipelago, there have long been ships of Huaxia and Xiyi. And Japan's hundreds of years of isolation are coming to an end! And once the lockdown ends, Japan will have to choose between entering summer and entering the country!

If Japan wants to enter the summer, it must be a vassal to the Celestial Empire, but the emperor's status is too high to be a vassal. Therefore, the Lao-China Council decided to abolish the emperor!

At the same time, the Laozhong Conference also decided to send you to Daming and enter the palace as a concubine! From now on, you will work hard for the peace of the Tokugawa family in the harem of the Great Tomorrow! ”

"Father...... Gao Zi was a little dizzy, "daughter, how can my daughter work hard?" ”

Baoke is stunned, how hard can you work on this? I don't seem to be able to ......

"Ah, this," Baoke thought for a moment, "for the father's will arrange for someone to teach you!" He paused, and then said, "Father estimates that the Son of Tomorrow will ask you about the situation of the Japanese Civil War...... You must let the Great Tomorrow know that Japan can only become a kingdom if the Tokugawa family wins the war! If the Tokugawa family loses the war, then Japan will most likely become an empire that is the enemy of the Ming Dynasty!

Moreover, the enemy of the Tokugawa clan was not Satsuma Shimazu or Nagasu Mori, but countless destitute Saikoku samurai...... As soon as the war begins, they will inevitably converge under the banner of the fallen curtain! If the shogunate could not win, then there would be more and more poor samurai who opposed the shogunate, and because they had the support of the Spaniards and Catholics behind them, they would definitely end up in Japan, the land of the sea east, to openly oppose the Celestial Empire! ”
