"This emperor is really not simple. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info" Tokugawa Iemitsu returned to his room, and Mrs. Awan, who was beside him, looked at it and couldn't help but feel sorry.

"The Shogun, drunk? It looks like a lot, but it's really important to pay attention to your body. Even if it's an important thing, it's important to take care of your health. Awan said.

Tokugawa Iemitsu didn't expect the concubines around him to be able to talk freely by himself, he just sighed, seeing the concern of his relatives, his mood couldn't help but calm down, he looked at Awan quietly, and said: "My body, is it really so simple that people can see the roots?" ”

Awan was relieved: "The general will only reveal his true self in front of his relatives. Those outsiders naturally can't see it. ”

"But that means...... There are a lot of people who know. Tokugawa Iemitsu coughed lightly, just coughed lightly, and couldn't help but be stunned: "I heard that Oori has lost a doctor?" ”

"I heard that I had the opportunity to go to Mingguo to study medicine. The concubine allowed him to leave. Awan said.

"Let the Ten Guards go and investigate...... Can't let ...... Ahem...... Outsiders know ......" Tokugawa Iemitsu coughed, and Awan on the side hurriedly took out the prepared pills, and Tokugawa Iemitsu let out a long and relaxed breath and rested peacefully.

……

Shichiro Inochiro walked down the streets of Edo, and he was more happy than ever.

Things that have been worried about for more than ten years finally have hope, and everything is full of uplifting power.

"Sister...... As long as you wait for a maximum of three months, I can take you to the legendary Ming Kingdom Jingshi for treatment. There must be a miracle doctor there who can heal your patients! "Japan is not as good as China, and that's not something to talk about.

When I arrived here in Inoqiro, it was full of exciting things.

If Ming Guo is not more powerful than Japan, then how can there be more powerful doctors.

Anyway, there is hope for my sister's illness, and Inochiro seems to be alive again. Everything is in good spirits.

Oh no......

Patronizing the joyful mood, but I almost forgot all the things that the adults explained.

Thinking about it, Nanaro immediately stepped up his pace, walked all the way through the streets and alleys, and finally arrived at Yoshiwara.

The name of this place is really apt. In particular, Nanchiro, who is fluent in Chinese, naturally understands that Yoshiwara's name is actually similar to the sound of a brothel. Of course, when it comes to the real origins, that's not the case. It was a place that was allowed by the Edo shogunate shortly after it was opened. The origin of "Yoshiwara" is said to be the hometown of Shoji Kanai, the founder of "Yoshiwara", in Yoshiharajuku, one of the lodging grounds in Tokaido, and it is also said that Yoshiwara was built in a low-lying area with lush reeds near the sea, and the Japanese pronunciation of reeds (yoshi) is the same as Yoshi.

Regardless of its origins, however, it is one of the best Hanagi streets in Japan.

If it was the old days, it would be a dare to come here for Inoqiro.

The first-class Hualiu Street naturally has first-class consumption.

But now, he's on command.

Straight inside, after passing one noisy brothel after another, Inochiro arrived in a secluded courtyard.

Here, Inochiro respectfully handed the letter in his hand to the other party.

This one...... It's really an existence that all samurai have to be excited to face.

The lord of the Mito domain, Tokugawa Yorinobu!

"Sure enough...... Our backer is Tokugawa Yorinobu! Inoqiro was very excited, but Tokugawa Yoshinobu said a few words and sent Inoqiro away.

What he was concerned about was the letter sent by Shichiro.

"This plan...... Can it really be successful? Inside, it is a handwritten letter from Masaki I.

I couldn't wait to open the letter, and it seemed that reading the words and sentences inside it word by word made Tokugawa Yoshinobu fall into deep thought.

"Once it is done, I will respect Lord Lai Xuan! Even if he fails, he will never dare to climb Lai Nobu-sama......" Recalling Yui Masayuki's promise, Tokugawa Yoshinobu spit out lightly.

"Can't hesitate any longer. Only when Emperor Ming was in Japan did he have such an opportunity. Once you wait for the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom to leave, you will never have this opportunity again! With that, Tokugawa Yorinobu's eyes shone brightly.

He made up his mind!

……

The Emperor's itinerary was altered.

After all, Emperor Gomizuo learned of the news that the emperor had arrived in Japan, and immediately invited His Majesty the Ming Emperor to discuss the true meaning of Confucianism and enjoy the Japanese imperial family's waka songs.

This reason is really beyond reproach, and it also shows the persistence of Emperor Gomizuo. Indeed, the Japanese emperor, under the control of the shogunate, had lost the right to intervene in politics, and naturally lost the qualification to entertain the state banquet of the Ming Emperor. But...... I don't interfere in politics, I discuss knowledge with His Majesty the Emperor, and perform waka, so it's always okay.

After all, in addition to his profession as an emperor, Zhu Cihong is also a well-known scholar. The geography class in North Korea was by no means something that ordinary people could say.

When the news came out, the Japanese people who were exclaimed did not react to it. It's true that most Japanese people don't understand what politics is about.

But for the people involved, it was naturally a big shock.

The itinerary was arranged on an ad hoc basis, and it was originally scheduled that Zhu Cihong would go to Sensoji Temple on July 4 to visit and meet with Japanese religious figures.

But in the face of His Majesty the Emperor's trip to Kyoto to meet the Emperor, Sensoji naturally did not dare to stop it.

But...... The shogunate, on its part, is not calm.

"Someone must be playing tricks!" For the Ming Emperor to accept the invitation, Tokugawa Iemitsu had long been mentally prepared.

In the end, he was only a general, not the emperor of Japan. The asymmetry of identity is a fatal problem. The name is sometimes so mysterious that it makes people feel helpless.

Therefore, Tokugawa Iemitsu understood that it was only a matter of time before the Ming Emperor met the Japanese emperor.

Stop it for the time being, let Tokugawa Iemitsu take the initiative to explain first, and take the lead, which is enough. It can be stopped for a while, but it can't be stopped for a lifetime.

It's just that it's only been two days since the invitation from Kyoto was sent, which can only explain one thing.

There have long been people who have plotted to be a moth to the emperor.

This person must have an extraordinary identity and be able to meet Zhu Cihong.

Otherwise, with the emperor's cautious manner, he would never dare to invite rashly. After all, Zhu Cihong had never dealt with the emperor before.

If you didn't ventilate in advance, how embarrassing would it be if you were rejected by Zhu Cihong?

"Do you want to stop it?" Matsudaira Nobutsuna asked.

Tokugawa Iemitsu looked into the distance and shook his head slightly: "Why bother with things that can't be stopped." Even if it takes effort to stop it once, it won't stop it twice, three times. After all, those are two emperors. More important is ......"

"I'm also looking forward to it, what have the conspirators prepared to make the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom tempted to intervene?" Tokugawa Iemitsu gritted his teeth, obviously ruthless.

This time it was miscalculated, but it doesn't mean that those conspirators will still be able to seize the opportunity next time.

The answer is simple.

The emperor is surrounded by people from Tokugawa Iemitsu, and perhaps Emperor Gomizuo will try his best to keep it secret, but it is doomed to be useless and will leak out sooner or later. When the time comes, Tokugawa Iemitsu will know what tricks Emperor Gomizuo has made.

Only in this way can Tokugawa Iemitsu understand who is causing trouble.

Of course, this does not mean that Tokugawa Iemitsu will sit still.

"Check!" Tokugawa Iemitsu slapped the table: "Go check immediately, who is making trouble." ”

"Your Majesty takes orders!" Matsudaira Izu Shou took the order and left, but sighed in his heart.

In fact, you don't need to check, you already know who is the most suspicious. But Tokugawa Iemitsu didn't want to believe it, and he didn't want to believe it.

The loyal retainers of the retainers, Matsudaira Nobutsuna knew very well that no one would rebel.

None of the daimyo who had a good relationship with the emperor would have had the opportunity to come into contact with Zhu Cihong.

The only ones who have both strength and ambition are obviously only those three.

What he's looking for......

Obviously, he just knew who was doing the ghost and for what.

Only by understanding more carefully can Tokugawa Iemitsu make up his mind.

……

Kyoto, Imperial Palace. On July 10, after running all the way, Zhu Cihong's motorvoy stopped in front of the Jianli Gate, and finally met the legendary king of Japan, Emperor Gomizuo.

This is ten years older than Tokugawa Iemitsu, and the guy who is fifty-one this year can already be regarded as an old man. After all, this age is in the current era, not to mention high life, and it is indeed entering old age.

But when Zhu Cihong saw Zhengren, he didn't feel that this person was old.

Masahito is not tall, but also a typical Japanese appearance, inclined to lemon yellow complexion, thick facial hair, even if he has shaved and scraped, there are still some residual traces, a pair of Ren Dan Hu, speaking clearly and loudly, especially rare, it is actually a pair of slender but divine eyes.

There are many slender eyes, but it is not simple to be slender and spiritual, if the spirit of a person is almost a little, the slender eyes will become a line when they are narrowed, and it is difficult to appear spiritual.

But when this one saw Zhu Cihong, he was in good spirits and seemed to be ...... Full of fighting spirit.

That's right, it's a fighting spirit.

It's just that the object of the struggle does not seem to be Zhu Cihong.

"His Majesty the Emperor is really a glory to our country. Being able to entertain His Majesty the Emperor and all the guests at the Humble House this time is a cultural event in Japan, and it will go down in history and be passed on to future generations. Zhengren smiled kindly and greeted Zhu Cihong.

"Your Majesty, please!"

"King, please!"

……

With some humility, both entered.

Masahito took Zhu Cihong into the house, and the Kenreemon Gate was the main gate of the Imperial Palace, which in normal times was a gate that only the emperor could enter. But today, it is obvious that Zhu Cihong made an exception, not only took Zhu Cihong into the room, but also the rest of the attachés and guards who followed behind him.

Passing through the Jianli Gate and opening the vermilion gate, you will see a brown and yellow hall with white and white. This is the Zichen Palace, where the large army that comes with it is settled. It is a place where the emperor usually receives foreign envoys by issuing new decrees. All in all, it is an important ceremonial venue. However, except for the promulgation of the era name, which can be regarded as a major event of government affairs, such as the issuance of decrees to receive foreign envoys, there is basically no chance.

Only this time, it can be seen that Emperor Hou Mizuo is almost desperate, and this is why Zhu Cihong arrived at the apartment.

Zhu Cihong secretly watched a lot of people all the way, without showing a disgusted expression.

For Masahito, this is clearly enough.

The emperor was not in power, so he could only live on the little rice allocated by the shogunate. It is self-evident how sad it is for the lord of a country to survive but depend on the snort of others.

This is not only a destruction of dignity, but also an erosion of the actual standard of living.

Just that little bit of rice is enough for the Japanese emperor to live a comfortable life, let alone do something else. For example, to win people's hearts, such as ...... Entertain distinguished guests.

Obviously, this time to entertain Zhu Cihong, behind the whitewashing along the way is Zhengren's chaff eating vegetables.

Behind the Shisin Hall, there are also the Seiryoden, the Day Throne, the legendary Sakura, and the Imperial Palace, which Toyotomi Hideyoshi built for the Emperor.

But in these places, Zhengren didn't take Zhu Cihong to continue shopping. If you look at it again, you have to see through the embarrassment of the emperor's life.

Soon, a slight crisp bell rang out.

In the Zichen Palace, a feast was held.

The level of food in Japan is not as good as that of later generations, and what kind of sushi god can be made. Zhu Cihong glanced at it casually, and then turned his attention away from the food.

"His Majesty the Emperor has a favorite thing about the good things in Japan?" Masahito said with a smile.

Zhu Cihong said: "Fresh and interesting, but also delicious." But I'm not a greedy person, so I don't pay much attention to it. ”

Zhengren doesn't cut to the chase, and Zhu Cihong is not in a hurry.

"I see. If Your Majesty has something you like, you can mention it, and Xiao Wang will definitely prepare it for Your Majesty. Alright, the feast begins. I also allow Xiao Wang to introduce one or two. This is Inuko Shaoren. This is the little girl Xingzi. As soon as Zhengren spoke, Zhu Cihong naturally followed his gaze.

There is nothing to see about the former. The current emperor is actually only a fourteen-year-old boy. This is not the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cihong dared to go out of the palace at a young age to change color in the world. This is Japan, and under the pressure of the shogunate, the fourteen-year-old boy Lang can't do anything.

Shao Ren respectfully bowed to Zhu Cihong: "I ...... Lone has seen the Ming Emperor. ”

As he spoke, Shao Ren bowed his head and remained silent.

Everyone thinks he is just a child, but Shaoren has already matured in such an environment. He was well versed in poetry and understood how much difference this one claimed to have. Obviously, in front of the Ming Emperor, the Japanese emperor has lost the qualification to call himself I.

If you want it, you will suffer, and if you don't want it, you will be strong.

If it weren't for the Japanese royal family's request for Zhu Cihong, they naturally wouldn't need to be so quiet.

Zhu Cihong smiled and saluted.

The Japanese emperor sacrificed his dignity and bowed low and made small, which is really refreshing.

is not only the sense of accomplishment that the king of a country succumbs, but also the scenes in the original history, the past between China and Japan, such a humiliation brings a refreshing feeling that is really unique and rare.

But......

Selling dignity is certainly a price. But if you want to exchange more things from Zhu Cihong...... But it may not be enough.

Zhu Cihong was thinking about things in his heart, but he saw that the other person also opened his mouth.

"Xingzi, meet His Majesty the Emperor."
