The Tokugawa family now only dares to slowly encroach on the emperor's position through blood relations, but does not dare to kill the emperor. Otherwise, the Tokugawa family will be besieged to death by all the daimyos!

The sweat on Abe's face was dripping down at this time, and his body was trembling slightly. Liu Pei has known him for so long, and this is the first time he has seen Abe's Mid-Autumn Festival gaffe like this.

At that moment, Liu Pei said sympathetically: "Mr. Abe, do you want to take a break?" ”

Abe Tadaaki looked up blankly, then shook his head and said, "Your Excellency the Dragon King, I will return to Edo Castle immediately to meet the Shogun. ”

Liu Pei said: "Yes, I can wait." ”

Abe Zhongqiu lowered his head again and thought for a moment before raising his head and saying, "Your Excellency the Dragon King, before leaving, I would like to ask, why don't you cooperate with him?" ”

Liu Pei got up and walked up to Abe Zhongqiu and said, "Mr. Abe doesn't seem to know me well enough!" At heart, I was a maritime merchant, but I was forced to go on the pirate path. So in my mind, trading is a very important thing! What can be obtained through trade, why should it be solved by war? ”

Abe Mid-Autumn nodded in agreement when he heard this! Liu Pei continued: "Mr. Abe, you should know the consequences of my cooperation with that person!" That is, Japan will return to the Warring States period! And my people will also be firmly dragged in the Wa Kingdom. What about my business? But if the evidence of the Japanese state remains stable, I will continue to benefit from trade! As for the benefits gained from the war, they may be great, or they may be nothing! So I'd rather get a small but stable profit than risk a big profit in the future! ”

In fact, Liu Pei really deceived Abe Mid-Autumn Festival. The actual situation now is that Liu Pei can't swallow the fat of the Wa Kingdom at all! And at present, Liu Pei also needs to provide him with a steady stream of funds through trade with the Japanese state. Otherwise, with Liu Pei's idea, he would have been killed a long time ago! And if Liu Pei had an army of 50,000 and 200 artillery pieces, he would dare to go to war with the daimyo of the entire Wa Kingdom!

But when Abu Zhongqiu heard this, he nodded again and again as if he heard a fairy sound! At the same time, I am grateful to Liu Pei for this decision! Because now Liu Pei is stirring the balance of the Japanese state

A leverage. No matter which end he leans into, which one will win!

Abe Zhongqiu immediately made up his mind, bowed to Liu Pei and said, "Your Excellency the Dragon King, please wait for me for a while!" I will immediately go back and report to the Shogun, and try to reach an agreement with Your Excellency as soon as possible that is mutually acceptable. Please wait, please! ”

Liu Pei said very reasonably: "No problem, then I'll wait for you here!" ”

Abe Chukyo, who was in a hurry to return to Edo Castle, didn't even care about the farewell etiquette and left the camp in a very rude manner. It wasn't until he entered Edo Castle that he calmed down. Only then did he enter the castle tower with his usual posture and expression, and asked to see Tokugawa Iemitsu.

At this time, Tokugawa Iemitsu had changed his clothes, but he had not slept yet. He was very surprised to receive the report from the little surname! Tokugawa Iemitsu knew that Abe's Mid-Autumn Festival was going to Liu Pei's seaside camp, so when he suddenly returned, he must have come to seek instructions because something uncontrollable. So he immediately met with Abe Tadaaki.

As soon as Tokugawa Iemitsu saw Abe's mid-autumn season, his heart sank. Because Abe's Mid-Autumn Festival's movements and demeanor are maintained very well, but his eyes can't hide it! The two sides have been working together for decades, and at a glance, it is clear that Abe Mid-Autumn is in extreme panic.

So Tokugawa Iemitsu immediately ordered the little surname next to him and said, "Everyone go out, I'll talk to Abe-kun alone." ”

Seeing the little surnames withdrawing, Abe Zhongqiu took two steps forward, supported the ground with his hands, and said eagerly: "General, something is wrong!" If I'm not mistaken, His Majesty the Emperor has sent someone to contact the Red-Eyed Dragon King! ”

When Tokugawa Iemitsu heard this, he was sitting cross-legged but suddenly stood up, and the loose robe looked even fatter on him. He asked with a serious expression, "Are you sure?" Is there any evidence? ”

Abe Chukashi shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, General, but there is no direct evidence here. But the Red-Eyed Dragon King gave me this! ”

After speaking, he took out the pamphlet from his bosom and handed it to the Tokugawa family, who took the pamphlet in his hand two steps forward and quickly flipped through it. Tokugawa Iemitsu also has enough wisdom, and his thinking is almost the same as Abe's Mid-Autumn Festival!

He's in

The moment I read it, my face changed! He slapped the pamphlet to the ground and shouted, "How dare he do this!" I'm going to kill him! ”

Abe Mid-Autumn climbed two steps in a row to hug Tokugawa Iemitsu's thigh, and said loudly: "General, be calm!" Be calm! ”

After Tokugawa Iemitsu vented a few words of anger, he patted Abe Chukatsu's hand and motioned for him to let go. And then said, "What a damn fellow! I want to kill him! ”

Abe Zhongchu said: "General, we really can't do it!" On the contrary, we also want to prevent others from doing something to His Majesty the Emperor! ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu sat back on his cushion and said, "Tell me the details of what happened. ”

Abe Chukyoshi told Tokugawa Iemitsu everything about the matter. Finally, Abe Nakatsuya said, "Lord Shogun, the reason why that red-eyed dragon king dared to give me this pamphlet is because we can't accuse His Majesty the Emperor based on this pamphlet!" ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu frowned and said, "I don't know that!" ”

After a moment of silence, Tokugawa Iemitsu sighed and said, "Abe-kun, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Abe Zhongqiu said: "We have to thank the mind of a small businessman like the Red-eyed Dragon King for this matter!" As a businessman, he is clearly qualified, even beyond the boundaries of a businessman. But like other businessmen, he is not willing to take risks for the sake of petty profits, and would rather give up a bigger harvest! I think His Majesty the Emperor must have pushed the Tokugawa family as a bargaining chip, and His Majesty's prestige is enough to guarantee this matter! ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu said slowly: "Although I don't want to admit it, it's true!" ”

Abe Mid-Autumn said: "So I think we should strike while the iron is hot and reach an agreement with the Red Eyed Dragon King as soon as possible!" You know, as a leader, he may have no ambitions and is willing to enjoy the life of a rich man. But what if his subordinates were ambitious? ”

Speaking of which, it really speaks to Tokugawa Iemitsu's heart! In the history of the Wa Kingdom, there is a tradition on the lower gram! How many family heads have been kidnapped by the retainers, made wrong choices, and finally led to the demise of the family, it is no longer two cases together!
