Master Fu Qing's class has started again.

As a compilation of the history of the legendary Ministry of Rites, Fu Qingzhu's course arrangement is actually very free and open. After all, what they do is record history, analyze history. But there are so many new things in the world every year, and they can't all be recorded in the history books. That's called historical data, and it's journalism, not historiography itself.

As for the laws of history, there is always a certain lag.

He has to be reacted to by everyone, it turns out that there is such a law, and such a truth is in it, so that everyone can understand that this thing is such a law in it. Then summarize the research, analyze and discuss.

Therefore, most of the time, Fu Qingzhu played the role of an experienced gardener, allowing these empire's best students to use their brains and do some research. I even applied for a batch of funds from the university hall, planning to conduct a national research.

It's always not okay to do research behind closed doors.

Even, Master Fu Qing even went abroad. For example, the country of North Korea is in the focus of research.

There are many plans for the future, but to implement them, of course, we must be down-to-earth and firmly follow one step at a time.

After the basic lessons, it was time for the big discussion that all the students in the class were looking forward to. Perhaps, His Majesty the Emperor once had the wrong impression of being reckless in Shilin.

But in any case, his tolerance of ideas is something that everyone is sincerely grateful for.

In particular, His Majesty the Emperor personally gave many large-scale lectures incognito in the hall of Beijing Normal University. For example, Fu Qingzhu knew that before that, there was a question about the trade-off between being able to be a corrupt official and not being a clean official.

With such a good head, now Daming can be described as a hundred schools of thought.

Many issues that were originally afraid to be discussed also appeared on everyone's desks.

Today, Fu Qingzhu, as the host, silently wrote today's theme on the blackboard: "Discuss the trip to Japan." ”

"Students, is there anything you would like to discuss about your trip to Japan?" Fu Qingzhu smiled and looked at the students in the audience.

Everyone didn't rush to answer, they waited for the expected first classmate to get up first. As expected, this person is indeed Liu Rus.

Liu Ru wore a veil today, covering the left cheek, adding a hazy beauty, making many young and vigorous students feel that their breathing accelerated.

The appearance of this classmate on campus is really unexpected.

After all, the beauty is amazing, and if you look at each other head-on, I'm afraid you won't be able to take your eyes off.

Fortunately, this is a class, a discussion of the subject of the master of the school, Fu Qingzhu, and everyone is very solemn, which suppresses the charm in their hearts.

"Students have an issue." Liu stood up and looked around at everyone. He looked at everyone intently, and his heart trembled slightly. Who says women are inferior to men? At least, on the path of studying learning. The daughters' families are not impossible. This is much better than being kept in captivity in a deep house compound.

He remembered that Li Xiangjun was also teaching here, and he couldn't help but have the idea of being vetoed by Qian Qianyi.

"Mr. Liu, please speak." Lord Fu Qing smiled and saluted.

Although this classmate is a woman, her intelligence is better than that of a man. Especially last time, if it weren't for His Majesty the Emperor's action, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to suppress this tricky little girl.

"The Japanese monarch is not a king, and the minister is not a minister. Dare to ask the teacher, this monarch and minister are not divided into righteousness, how can I interact with him? Liu said with a smile: "In the thirty-second year, the Japanese shogunate formulated and promulgated the "Prohibition of China and the Laws of the Public Family", which said that the Japanese emperor should put the practice of learning and the mastery of waka in the first place, in fact, it was to limit the emperor's interference in politics. Such a strict law even left the emperor's only authority to Article 8, which determined the era name according to the precursor of the dynasty. Such weak power makes the Japanese emperor a de facto puppet. And the shogun is the actual ruler of Japan. ”

"According to my Ming people, the Japanese shogunate is a group of rebels who are in power. According to the popular folk saying, today's Tokugawa Iemitsu is a Cao Cao. Let me ask you, I have arrived in Japan now. How do you deal with all this? ”

……

"It seems that if my sister is going to talk about it again." On the side, Wu Qiao'er, who secretly rushed over to listen to the class, bit her mouth, looked at Li Yun'er, who was eager to try, and said in her heart: It seems that there will be another argument again.

Don't look at Li Yuna and Yoo Ru are close friends, but they can argue during debates, which is really incomprehensible.

"What about Liu's topic?" Fu Qing smelled expectantly.

"Since ancient times, it has been unjustifiable. As a Chinese orthodox, I naturally cannot tolerate such a rebellious act by the shogunate. It is supposed to uphold the right path and bring the Japanese emperor back to normal. Let the shogunate and other people who commit rebellion be brought to justice. As soon as Liu said, everyone nodded their heads.

This is indeed the most normal statement of the vast majority of people.

After all, for Da Ming Erlang, if there is a prime minister who can inherit from generation to generation, and the emperor has no real power. That's really a strange thing, and it's clearly a rebellion. Everyone must uphold the right path.

"Good. Is there any other student who disagrees? Master Fu Qing said again.

"The students also have a little bit of an opinion that I want to distinguish with you." Li Yun'er stood up and said, "Your Majesty's trip to Japan is, in the final analysis, for my Ming Dynasty." All actions should be in the interests of the Ming Dynasty first. The relationship between the emperor and the shogunate is a Japanese family matter. If tens of thousands of sons and daughters of the Ming Dynasty have to fight on the battlefield for the sake of blood and fame, this is not the work of a wise man. I think His Majesty made the final move. It should be a tacit acquiescence to the Japanese pattern, not Emperor Kuangfu. As for bringing the shogunate officials to justice, there is also a bit of a problem. ”

"What's the problem?" Liu Ru stared at Li Yun'er, her eyes burning.

"Is it the law of Japan, or the law of the Ming Dynasty? As Fang Cai's sister said, Japan has revised its laws to believe that the emperor only has the right to determine the name of the era according to precedents. In this case, everything that the shogunate did was naturally legal and reasonable. If we follow the law of our great understanding, we must also understand that Japan is an independent country after all. How can I follow the law of my understanding? Lee Yoona responded with a smile.

Liu said: "Such and such problems do exist. But we must understand one problem, I respect His Majesty, and the power should be attributed to His Majesty the Emperor. If we sit idly by and watch Japan commit rebellion, we will not be indifferent, and we will even have to deal with it. Where does this place the Emperor of China's Law of the King? ”

When I say this, I really tear off the last fig leaf.

It is tantamount to confronting the foundation of the legitimacy of the monarchy.

Even if Lord Fu Qing understood that the atmosphere was open now, he couldn't help but say a great sigh for Liu Ru's courage.

This is really not something that ordinary people dare to say.

"I believe in Your Majesty." Li Yuna said softly.

"But there's no solution." Liu Ruye's voice also softened, but at this moment, the classroom was silent. Everyone could hear it clearly. Master Fu Qing would not have thought that he, a person who records history, would one day witness history.

This discussion is destined to be handed down.

Li Yun'er wrinkled her brows, thinking of the scene when she saw Zhu Cihong.

Especially in the lecture in Seoul, such a mind is by no means a selfish acquaintance.

"The interests of the empire are above all else." Li Yun'er suddenly said this sentence in her mind: "Most of the time, Your Majesty's position is the same as that of the Empire. Perhaps, on rare occasions, the interests of the Empire will conflict with those of His Majesty. But I am confident that Your Majesty will ultimately choose the interests of the Empire first. Because, the family and the country are one. Moreover...... Perhaps in our opinion, this is an unsolvable situation. But Your Majesty ...... It will give history a beautiful answer. After Li Yun'er finished speaking, there was a lot of debate in the class.

……

Zhu Cihong naturally understood that this meeting with the shogun would definitely cause all kinds of trouble.

In fact, in the face of this problem, he no longer knows how many plans he has prepared in his mind. As for the embarrassing situation between the Japanese shogunate and the emperor, I don't know how many times it has been discussed.

This question is quite sensitive, and the people under him are also silent, and they dare not mention it.

After Zhu Cihong understood, he felt that it was nothing.

The subjects of the Ming Dynasty do not need to live in the era of monarchy after all. Zhu Cihong is a traveler, if it were not for the indoctrination of the times. He didn't have the idea of the supremacy of imperial power in his head at all.

He was a pragmatic through and through when it came to making diplomatic decisions.

"I'm going to bother the general. I am also very much looking forward to what Japan will look like under the Shogun's rule. I hope to open a new chapter for China and Japan. This chapter will be filled with countless beautiful words. Zhu Cihong smiled and shook hands and entered Edo hand in hand.

As for how to receive Zhu Cihong, the Japanese obviously did a lot of work.

There was no need to worry about the security problems that had caused the emperor a headache at the moment, and the muddy road was also turned on the bluestone slab in a short time.

All the way through, they are all decent and enthusiastic Edo Shimin.

Soon, an almost remake with the arrival in Seoul was arranged.

Inspect the guard of honor and listen to the roar of the salute. In the end, Zhu Cihong stayed in the palace arranged by the Japanese.

Of course, as soon as Zhu Cihong settled in, all the people who served it were replaced by Ming people. As soon as they lived, Zhu Cihong brought people with them.

No more than North Korea, you can also relax some vigilance.

With the vigilance of that naval battle ahead, no one dared to be careless.

Of course, in general, it is still loose on the outside and tight on the inside.

Zhu Cihong's star arrangement was not affected.

After putting aside the red tape, Zhu Cihong attended a banquet for Tokugawa Iemitsu in the Great Aori.

This is obviously a state banquet.

Both the Ming side and the Japanese side prepared a large number of accompanying ministers.

However, compared with the last time he went to North Korea, Zhu Cihong returned to Japan with more businessmen and fewer officials. In addition to Wang Fuzhi and Chen Zhenhui, it is Chen Jianhong and other affairs officials who are obviously low-level officials.

In contrast, the shogunate was very solemn.

In addition to his old acquaintance Tadaaki Abe, the ministers Matsudaira Izu Nobunokuna and Abe Shigeji and other ministers who can be called by name in Japan are all here.

Of course, Zhu Cihong will not observe them all. He focused on the famous Gosanya, namely Oshu, Kishu, and Mito.

The three people present today are Tokugawa Yorinobu, Tokugawa Yoribo and Tokugawa Yoshinao.

To put it simply, these are the clans of Japan. Zhu Cihong himself also has many relatives, all of whom are relatives of the emperor. For this reason, he also made great efforts to cut the feudal clan and solve the clan problem. Similarly, Japan also has these three Gosanya.

They obviously had pros and cons for the shogunate.

After all, the shogunate was not an imperial family, and it had the undisputed legitimacy of its rule. Therefore, there should not be too many people trying to challenge the shogunate. Historically, Masayuki Yui was the number one person.

One of the important reasons why the shogunate was able to suppress many daimyo in Japan again and again was because of the existence of the Gosan.

Their presence forced the daimyo to submit to the majesty of the shogunate.

But the other way around...... There are also many careerists who try to profit from it and make a splash all the time.

The state banquet soon began.

What made Zhu Cihong relax a little was that everyone spoke Chinese.

"A toast to His Majesty the Emperor and wish you all the best." Tokugawa Iemitsu was in a good mood, and Zhu Cihong's response made him put down a boulder. is different from the expected young and vigorous appearance, Zhu Cihong's attitude towards him can be said to be modest.

There is no arrogant attitude in front of him, and the conversation along the way can be said to be harmonious.

This made Tokugawa Iemitsu, who was originally a little nervous, relaxed, and at the state banquet, he naturally explained not to speak Japanese. For most aristocrats, speaking Chinese was not a difficult task.

After all, it is hard to imagine a high-ranking official in later generations of China who did not speak English at all.

"Thank you." Zhu Cihong responded modestly.

Soon, he wrote down the names one by one.

One impression after another has also been preliminarily set.

Tokugawa Iemitsu seemed energetic, but Zhu Cihong was keenly aware of the fatigue hidden in the bones of this middle-aged man who was only in his forties. He was too concerned about his own attitude, which was not the attitude of a confident general.

Clearly, he had something to ask for.

If you ask for something, it is easy to do, which shows that the initiative is here.

Abe Tadaaki is the same, pro-China. Matsudaira Nobutsuna was silent, but Zhu Cihong understood that this was probably a sober and shrewd Japanese, and he never stopped looking at himself. But again, there was never a moment where I felt offended.

As for the three royal families......

Alas, it is no wonder that the rule of Tokugawa Iemitsu in history was as stable as Mount Tai. Although it looks extraordinary, it doesn't have the impression that any one is so brilliant.

I don't know the emperor...... What kind of people are they?
