Known as the unity of eternity, the royal family handed down from ancient times, the lineage of the emperor of the Japanese kingdom is really the only one of the scorpions, and it has never been changed.

However, if you say which imperial family is the most aggrieved, it also belongs to the imperial family of the Wa Kingdom, more than 700 years, three shogunates, more than 100 years of troubled times, decades of northern and southern dynasties, the power of the imperial family has been stripped away, the territory of more than 30 million stone in the country, the emperor only occupies 50,000 stones, and a lot of land near Kyoto still belongs to the shogunate, especially in the six poles near Kyoto, the shogunate also set up six pole exploration troops, where to monitor the imperial family.

The old fox of Tokugawa Ieyasu also unceremoniously customized the "Forbidden and Public Laws", which clearly stipulates from the legal theory that the mission of the Imperial Family is to chant the Buddha and continue the bloodline of the Great God of Amaterasu.

And it's still a lean pig to raise! Look at what it's like to live like King Damingfu, and then look at yourself to add a dish, you have to think twice, it is estimated that the royal family of the Japanese Kingdom wants to cry.

In this case, the royal family has to be sneaky when they meet a "small trader".

Wakayama.

Not to mention, the poor are poor, the poor also have the poor to play, this royal palace is elegant enough, the fence on the edge is completely composed of pruned green bamboo, staggered and not too abrupt, several main buildings of the palace are also cheap bamboo buildings, the blue roof tiles are all made of green bamboo one by one, green snow and green bamboo, revealing an ancient style and ancient charm, but also special to the appetite of the sullen literati of Song Xiance.

The only problem is that it's so cold!

Even on the Dongjiang ship, there is a special steel coal-making stove room, which is connected to the main living quarters, sailors' bedrooms, and barracks with lead pipes at the bottom of the ship, although it is not as warm as the heating in later generations, at least it can maintain ten or twenty degrees, and it will not be able to do it.

No wonder the Japanese were willing to kneel and sit, just shrunk into a ball, and there was a stone pond burning in the middle of the whole house, blocking the clothes behind their backs.

After roasting for five or six minutes, the more it was roasted, the colder it became, and he was no longer in the mood to appreciate the snow scene.

But there was still no movement, just hanging him for more than forty minutes, his lips were frozen white, and an old servant wearing a high hat and a cyan robe, a little feminine, came over and knelt on the ground at the door.

"Lord Song, summoned by the Emperor!"

I have to say that the Japanese people have studied China several times in history, from the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty's ferryboats, and even the text is mixed with a large number of Chinese characters, but there is only one system that has not been learned, that is, the eunuch system.

But it's not a noble reason, it's completely technical, the gelding's technology first comes from the gelding, in addition to raising a small number of cattle and horses, there is basically no animal husbandry, technology has not been introduced, naturally there is no advanced technology of the gelding, and the emperor only intermarries with the five families of Seki, the noble girl herself has been educated for a long time, it is difficult to cheat, especially the position of the emperor is not much gold, and no one comes to think about it.

As for the samurai, looking at the appearance of their righteous sons everywhere, their attitude towards blood is not so heavy, and there is no market demand, so the Wa Kingdom naturally did not develop a eunuch industry that requires a lot of manpower and material resources to become an industry.

After saying so many eunuchs, Song Xiance waited for so long, and the reason was because it was too easy to go undercover with the emperor, and he didn't have to pay the price of cutting chickens and chickens, and the shogunate had buried too many nails in the imperial family, so he arrived at the door, and the old servant who had just greeted him was there in a hurry.

"Your Majesty finally opened up Lord Licha and Lord Kuxiu, there are only three moments of time, please Lord Song as soon as possible!"

Listening to the translation behind him, who was also shivering, Song Xiance was helpless and reflexive.

"It's contemptible and saved!"

"Lord Song, please!"

This room is also the kind of bamboo building, with a fire pit in the middle of boiling water, and the sliding door outside was opened, Song Xiance kicked off his shoes and hurriedly entered, but then he was stunned.

The emperor is a woman! Moreover, it's a little girl!

It's just that she was born in the royal family restricted by the shogunate, and under the cruelty of politics, even the little girl has to be forced to grow old, and Song Xiance, who is used to running the rivers and lakes, can obviously see from the pupils of this little girl a look that does not match the vicissitudes of her age.

And beside her, there is also an old woman in her fifties and sixties, who is estimated to be one of the important figures in the royal family, and she is also an old fritter that is not easy to deal with.

In Kyushu Island to pretend to be a grandfather, such a little girl with a round face in front of the grandson, it is not unacceptable, into the house, he came directly to a rice cake party, some of it was sticking to the ground, frozen mouth shivering.

"Toyotomi envoy, meet His Majesty the Emperor!"

Don't look at the royal kimono that looks thick enough, the little girl is also so cold that her little face is white and her lips are blue, and she is a little shivering, but in the end, she is still a teenager, and she is still very excited and raised her voice slightly.

"You're an envoy of the Toyotomi family? Is there really a descendant of the Toyotomi family still alive? What kind of person is he and how old is he? ”

"Your Majesty?"

The old woman behind her coughed slightly, and the little girl of the Emperor quickly stabilized her expression again, and sat up again with a solemn appearance of a mud bodhisattva.

However, there were only three moments of time, and Song Xiance didn't have time to waste here, so he hurriedly pulled out the box directly from the bag behind him and stuffed it forward with both hands.

"Back to Your Majesty, the young master of Toyotomi is not a little older than you, he is a young man, the young master has admired Your Majesty for a long time, this is a gift from the young master to Your Majesty!"

The box was opened, whether it was an old woman or a little girl, all of them had eyes lit up at the same time, no matter how old and cunning they were, they were also women, and the glass mirror of this year was more precious than Chanel, much more valuable than Rolls-Royce, and it was also inlaid with precious stones, full of excitement, and the little girl Emperor Ming was excited to hold the mirror and look at it.

"This, this is me? It's so clear!"

In the end, it is still an old fox, his eyes were immersed in the mirror for a moment, and then he became clear again, and he said gloomily like a dead face.

"More than ten years ago, the Toyotomi family rebelled, and the whole family was killed by the Tokugawa general, and now he is still hanging on the body of a criminal minister, with such a heavy gift, what is the plan to meet His Majesty?"

The time was too urgent, and Song Xiance didn't have time to go around in circles, so he was directly at the beginning.

"What you ask for!"

"No way!"

Almost immediately, her face changed, she opened her mouth to veto, and pulled the little emperor's little hand, and the old woman was about to walk back, looking at the mirror with reluctance, but the little emperor didn't dare to speak, and followed the small steps to the back room.

However, he had expected this scene for a long time, and Song Xiance hurriedly kowtowed behind him.

"How much more do you have to lose? The prince became a monk, and the princess never married, Your Majesty is willing? ”

This sentence really hit the sore spot, especially for the two women, and especially for the old woman, the old princess!

Her face became extremely ugly, and the old woman even lost her temper a little, and turned her head angrily.

"When Taiko Toyotomi Hideyoshi was there, the same was true for the royal family, right? Generations of rebellious ministers and thieves, generation after generation of contempt for the royal family, you dog-eat-dog fight for the world and fight for the blood of the river, why did the royal family wade into this troubled water? ”

It's no wonder that this old woman is not excited, the country is so big, with this little resource, what do you enjoy and I enjoy? And after all, the imperial family needs to be on guard, whether it is the Tokugawa shogunate or the previous Toyotomi Taiko, it is extremely curbing the imperial finances, so that the royal family's finances are constrained to this extent, there is no money to handle the dowry, and the prince who does not inherit the throne wants to become a monk, and the princess is forced to become a nun without reluctance, saying that she believes in Buddhism, but no one can see this shabby face.

"It is true that whether it is Toyotomi Taiko or Tokugawa General, they are all the way, even if the Toyotomi family returns to the position of the world in the future, the ministers also dare not guarantee anything, but now, it is Toyotomi who is weak and Tokugawa is strong, after all, the shogunate has been established for decades, and the Tokugawa family is even more powerful in Kanto, even if the Toyotomi family makes a comeback, I am afraid that it will not be able to destroy the Tokugawa family in a few decades, at most occupy the western country, repeating the trend of the Northern and Southern Dynasties back then!"

"Under the stalemate between the two sides, the attitude of the imperial family is naturally extremely important, and in this case, whether it is the Toyotomi family or the Tokugawa family, who dares to defy the imperial family again? By maintaining this balance, the royal family can be fed for at least a few decades, and even have a greater say. ”

"Politics is inherently full of dangers, even if it fails! Your Highness and Your Majesty, apart from a throne, do you have anything to lose? ”

The emperor was an empty shelf at this time, the old women were in their sixties and unmarried, and the little girl, the female emperor was originally a product of transition, and it wouldn't be long before she had to abdicate and follow her own old path, the green lantern ancient Buddha was a lifetime, there was really nothing to lose, as for the imperial family, don't look at the Tokugawa family is the shogunate, they don't dare to wipe out the imperial family in one fell swoop, the identity of the imperial family is too calm, known as the descendants of God, if the emperor's lineage is destroyed, there will never be a common people to support the shogunate, and the Tokugawa shogunate will also have to be buried for it.

I have to say that Song Xiance is really a talent, in history he made suggestions for Li Zicheng, tried his best to win the hearts of the people, and served the Beijing master in one breath, if it wasn't for Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin and others to eat too ugly, so that the landlord class of the Ming Dynasty was completely cold, maybe the Dashun Dynasty can really write a new chapter in history, before this mission, he also visited more, and studied a goal to be persuaded in a short time, in a short time, in a word.

Obviously, the old woman's wrinkled face changed violently, and it was cloudy and sunny for a few minutes, until the old servant in Tsing Yi outside anxiously knocked on the wall, signaling that time was running out, and she finally made up her mind.

"Even if Your Majesty agrees, but there are too many eyeliners of the Shogunate in the imperial family, I'm afraid that before the edict is issued, Your Majesty has already been abolished!"

"The subordinate has a plan!"

It was really too late, so he took out the envelope that had already been written from his sleeve and handed it over, and then Song Xiance was broken in by the hurried old servant in Tsing Yi and dragged out.

It was only a minute, and the servant, who was also wearing the royal green clothes, painted with eighteen petals of chrysanthemums on the back, but obviously looked a little arrogant and reckless, came hurriedly with a few subordinates, but the room was already calm, the old princess was quietly boiling tea, and the little emperor was a girl admiring the snow scene.

Letting go of their suspicions, the two exited the courtyard once again.

It's just that they didn't notice that the little emperor lowered his head slightly from time to time, and a little bright light was slightly reflected on her immature face.

"Toyotomi Young Lord, who is only a few years older than me? What is it? ”
