Outside the Zichen Palace, as the eldest son of the Konoe family, he is naturally the undisputed successor of the Konoe family, and for the sake of the family, Konoe must work hard for His Majesty the Emperor. Looking at the cherry blossom petals falling from the treetops, I couldn't help but be a little intoxicated.

"This should be the duty of a courtier! Bloom yourself so splendidly, and then leave quickly. ”

He muttered to himself and made an indulgent gesture of admiring the flowers, but a pair of ears were erected, listening carefully to all the sounds coming from the Zichen Palace.

The faint sound of almost indistinguishable sobs reached the ears of the guards from within the temple. The guards couldn't help but raise their eyebrows, and there was a hint of joy in their eyes, "Your Majesty is starting to cry!" ”

According to the strategy they formulated for Emperor Xingzi, it was nothing more than to play the bitter love card and let Tennomaru come out to be coquettish and cute in front of Xu Huanshan, a grandparent figure, in order to win the support of the Nanyue Army for His Majesty the Emperor.

In recent years, merchants in Nanzhong or generals of the Nanyue Army, whenever they came to the country, they would come to visit the emperor, say a few kind words, and send some money, food, and goods. This is undoubtedly a great thing for the emperor's family, which is so poor that even purple clothes have to be sold to monks at a great price, at least everyone's money can ensure that the dignity of an official can be maintained.

Therefore, the five families unanimously decided to make good use of the opportunity of this visit by the Governor and Koma-sama, and to use all means and methods to win the support of His Majesty the Emperor from the Liangguo Mansion!

Inside the hall, it was another scene.

Xu Huanshan saw that Xingzi gradually suppressed his sorrow, and whispered to comfort Tiannomaru, who was so frightened by this scene that he didn't know what to do and only cared about his own tears, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. can be washed and packed by his own courtiers and sent to Li Huayu's bedroom, what kind of courtesy, righteousness and shame can such a monarch and minister have? If it weren't for the little blood and blood in His Royal Highness, Lao Tzu wouldn't have bothered to talk nonsense with you!

"Before this official went to sea this time, Guogong specially explained. I heard that the emperor's son was clever and clever, and he was quite popular in the country, so he ordered me to come and pay a visit. If it is really like a legend, the official will make a statement to His Majesty, intending to accept him as the grandson of Liang Guogong and include it in the Li family tree. ”

Liang Guogong wants to recognize his son as his grandson. And included in the Li family genealogy?! Such good news almost made Emperor Koko faint with joy. Thinking that the grandson is included in the family tree, the next step is to let Tennomaru recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors!

But how easy is it to take that step? Don't say that the current Liang Guogong Mansion has a big business, and several sons, sons-in-law and daughters are busy expanding their territory, so why didn't Tiannomaru's biological father work hard in Shandong with a ball of coal?

(The matter of recognizing ancestors and returning to their ancestors is four words, but when it is really operated, it is not just as simple as a Zhen Huan biography of Miyue and the grievances of wealthy families, it also involves family politics such as property, status, and scandals.) If this family is the kind of person with status and status. That's even more complicated. You can refer to the road of Zhang Xiaoyan, Zhang Xiaoci, the twin brothers, to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors. The whole world knew that they were the children of Comrade Jianfeng and Zhang Yaruo, but it was not until they were dying of old age that they officially replaced their father's surname Jiang with their mother's surname Zhang. In childhood and adolescence, you even have to worry about your life all the time. If you are interested, you can take a look at the book "Children Outside the Jiang Family" written by Mr. Jiang Xiaoyan. Mourn the child's heart. ）

It seems that if you don't make some contributions to the child in front of Liang Guogong, I am afraid that it will be like a mirror to recognize the ancestors and return to the ancestors.

"Thank you, Uncle Xu, for being thorough." Emperor Koko thought of this, and stood up on the cushion. Respectfully salute Xu Huishan.

"Your Majesty is polite." Although he said it politely, Xu Huanshan sat honestly and unceremoniously and proudly. Born to receive this worship from Emperor Koko. This action frightened the maid who was hiding in the corner and serving tea and food almost bit off her tongue. Sure enough, it's the **** master! He was bowed down by His Majesty the Emperor and had nothing to do, you know, Your Majesty is a descendant of God!

But right now, this descendant of God is struggling with his own heirs.

"Uncle Xu, since the prince has this good intention, then he will take a step higher. I don't know how to name it in the family tree? ”

According to the genealogical ranking formulated by Li Shouhan's dead ghost Lao Tzu in the previous generations. Their characters should be typeset according to "guarding the frontier of China and rejuvenating the foundation of the world". Now Li Huayu's sons should be the word "Xia".

However, according to the custom of the Emperor of Wakoku, the emperor's family is a person with a name and no surname. It's all named in the form of a combination of a certain benevolence, such as Kahito, Akihito, and a bullshit Hirohito, etc. Then, Xingzi's son Tiannomaru is bound to be called Li Xiaren.

Hmm, Natsuhito, scary!?

However, fortunately, this name will only be used in the territory of the Wa Kingdom, and once it is within the direct jurisdiction of the Southern Yue Army, he is Li Xiaren, the godgrandson of Liang Guogong.

Reciprocating the favor, since Tiannomaru already has an identity that can be seen now, then Emperor Xingzi naturally wants to show something.

"Please come in, Lord Konoe, I have something to say." Xingzi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, calmed down a little, and instructed the maid sitting in the corner.

Knowing that His Majesty had summoned him, Lord Konoe, who was already full of cherry blossom petals on his face under the cherry blossom tree in the courtyard, hurriedly took small steps, trotted into the Zichen Hall with his head down.

"Lord Konoe, make up a will. I want to convey it to every subject of the Wa Kingdom. ”

"Your Majesty, please!"

After laying out the pen and paper, Konoe respectfully held the pen in his hand, lowered his eyes, and quietly listened to Emperor Koko's will.

"First, the **** is for the country of the country, it is the state of the parents, and the country should serve as a filial son; 2. The feudal lands of various countries shall be self-defended as fiefdoms, and shall not be annexed and attacked by each other, and the emperor shall drive the general to gather the troops and horses of the world to fight for it. Third, the country is important for guarding the family, so it is only open to parents; Fourth, the father is worried about the humiliation of the son, our country should be the **** minions, and we will be the vanguard. ”

Konoe quickly wrote down the four meanings of Emperor Koko, and after preparing to process and polish them, he asked the Emperor Akifa Shogunate.

"Wait a minute." Xu Huanshan stopped Konoe's movements and signaled him not to rush to close the stall for the time being. "Your Majesty, the old man has two opinions, say them and ask Your Majesty to adjudicate."

"Excuse me, Governor."

"First, the emperor married and was elected as a virtuous woman of China. Respect the Chinese matchmaker, and don't take others in vain. I wonder if this point contradicts the "Prohibition of China and Public Laws"? If there is any conflict, I will return to Edo this time to discuss with Shogun Iemitsu. ”

You're going back to Edo to discuss with Iemitsu, what else are we going to say? Hundreds of cannons were pressed against Jiaguang's head, telling him that in the future, the emperor could only marry a **** daughter-in-law, and could not intermarry with the Japanese state. Does he dare to disagree? From the heart of Jiaguang, I am afraid that I will not be happy, so that the emperor can only have an old man who is thousands of miles away, and the one who can't quench his thirst is the best!

"Second, customs is related to the interests of the treasury and ****. The emperor is important, the shogunate must patrol, and where the Japanese ports are located, the national government orders the shogunate to strictly supervise them. Customs revenue, except for the port of self-retention, the public and the shogunate should each take tithes. ”

Cast it with peach and plum to repay it with Qiong Yao. Since the emperor family has made such a huge statement, although they are all empty checks, the emperor who can't stand it at this time is the same as Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. Everyone knows that he is an empty shell, but everyone has to do things under his banner. He said something like this. Whoever dares to disobey is giving an excuse to his political opponents.

So, Xu Huanshan threw out another huge pie. Allowing the Emperor to receive a share of the customs revenues would improve the economic situation of the Emperor's court and weaken the economic power of the Shogunate. Why not do this kind of generosity to others?

And. Under the pretext of ensuring that the Emperor's interests are not violated, the Nanyue Army can also send men to supervise the execution of taxes, just as the chief tax department of the Qing Dynasty was the Englishman Hurd, and every tariff you spend is carried out under my supervision.

This is in the view of Li Shouhan, who has received traditional education since childhood. It can be regarded as a proper act of imperialism.

Xu Huanshan's attitude suddenly made the five ministers who rushed to the gate happy when they heard the news, and they bowed more than once, and shouted long live in their mouths. The annual tariff surplus of one-tenth is a large amount, which is enough for everyone to have money to buy all kinds of good things shipped by Nanzhong merchants, silk, flower cloth, porcelain, jade, books, glass, and can also make the wife and children not bitter in front of the samurai's dirt buns!

This is precisely the purpose of Li Shouhan's desire to allocate one-tenth of the tariff surplus to the government. Over the years, the gap between the economic power of the shogunate, known as the samurai known as the emperor's lineage, and the public government, which had been strengthening its economic power through trade, had become wider. According to the words of Mr. Ma, the economic base determines the superstructure. In the words of the common people, it is that when a man is rich, he becomes bad. If the economic gap between the two sides cannot be narrowed, with the ever-expanding economic power of the shogunate, and then look at the emperor's family, which is already too poor to drink gruel and has to support an empty shelf, it is difficult to guarantee that there is no other thought. This is extremely inconsistent with the strategic needs of the Nanyue Army's demand that the situation in the country must be stable.

Therefore, the combination of the Emperor and the Tokugawa Shogunate must not be allowed to become the Xiao Ming King and Zhu Yuanzhang of the year, and there must be no Guazhou shipwreck! At that time, Zhu Chongba decided to give up the boss of Xiao Ming Wang with the continuous growth of his military, political and economic strength, and opened a separate company as the boss, and no longer handed over profits.

In any case, such a measure made the emperor and his family quite overjoyed. They invited Xu Huanshan to Kyoto, originally intending to get some political capital from the Nanyue army to ask for some leftovers from the shogunate. But I don't want to, Grandpa Guo is so aware of things, and he arranged so well for everyone early, and he has all the face, and the political and economic benefits are great.

Originally, he just wanted to use the tiger of the Nanyue Army to fake the tiger, but he didn't expect this tiger to go to the evil wolf and tell him that the one over there was my godgrandson, and then grabbed a piece of the meat from the wolf's mouth and handed it to him. How can this not make everyone's snot flow out?

At present, this will full of Liang Guogong's love and affection for the emperor was revised and polished by several recognized pen sticks of the public family, and after asking Emperor Xingzi to look at it, he ordered the Tokugawa shogunate, the shogun of the Tokugawa Shogunate, Tokugawa Iemitsu, to Kyoto in the name of the emperor to accept the emperor's will.

For a time, on the road from Kyoto to Edo, the feather was flying like a spark.

How could Tokugawa Iemitsu let go of this opportunity to continue to use the emperor's banner to establish his authority? At that moment, he led a huge procession of dozens of daimyo to Kyoto to meet His Majesty the Emperor and prepare to listen to the sound of the crane.

A six-point proposal made by the public government represented by the emperor. With the endorsement of the Nanyue Army, Jiaguang seemed to have a loss to himself at first glance, but after a little analysis, he was a little happy. This is clearly to give yourself a bigger banner to deal with the princes of the country!

In the past, if there was a rebellion among the princes, they could only use the banner of the emperor. Just like Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan, they all accused each other of being traitors to the Han family, but they were all busy building their own small kingdoms. Now it's different, not to mention the emperor's banner in hand, this banner is also blessed with mana by the Nanyue army. If there is a second Shimazu family who tries to claim the throne of their own Zhengyi general, then they will inevitably be regarded as enemies by the Nanyue army.

Unless...... Unless that guy can give more and greater benefits to the Nanyue Army in exchange for the support of the Nanyue Army. The means by which the enemy might take in the future came to mind. Tokugawa Iemitsu secretly made up his mind that he must bring this traitorous road to the end, so that others have no way out!

It is wrong to say that it is to fully cooperate with the Nanyue Army, be loyal to the emperor, and unswervingly go on the road of maintaining the stability and economic development of the Japanese country!

The Kawagoe Domain, Aizu Domain, Shinobi Domain, and other wealthy and powerful daimyo who had to pay money, food, and labor during the construction of Odaiba were also quietly relieved, and since His Majesty the Emperor and the Nanyue Army wanted us to guard the border and not attack and annex each other, we could breathe a sigh of relief for the time being. The gold sentences, silver dollars, grain, and laborers were supposed to be paid to the Tokugawa family as protection money. Also buy a good one in front of the old men of the Nanyue Army!

The other daimyo looked at the five clans of the Fujiwara North family with envy. The subordinate officials of the Konoe, Kujo, Ichijo, Nijo, and Takaji families could have a seat in front of Governor Xu of the Nanyue Army, while they could only kneel under a tree in the courtyard. This is the difference between the public family and the samurai. The samurai can be born from the common people and come up step by step, wasn't this how the Taiko Toyotomi Hideyoshi came back then? However, the public family is different, there must be an age, a heritage, and a family. This is the same as the family gate valve in the Central Plains. Li Shimin became the emperor that year. wanted to marry the Qinghe Cui clan but was rejected. The reason is that you are a wild boy from the Guanlong Military Group, and you are also worthy of the surname Zhao?!

"With this decree, I don't have to worry about being swallowed up by others! My family will become a family, and my children and grandchildren will become a public family! My family will be the same as the five families of Seki! ”

More than one daimyo secretly motivates himself in his heart.

These five monopolized the highest official positions in public society: regent and guanbai. Therefore, it is also called "Five Photography Family" or "Five Photography Families". It is the object of envy and hatred of almost all samurai.

There is no way, in the Wa Kingdom, which pays attention to bloodline inheritance, even people in the world like Toyotomi Hideyoshi have to consider: is it to open the Yuchai shogunate, or to move closer to the public house? Because according to the tradition of the Wa Kingdom, if you want to be a general of Zhengyi, you can't be Guan Bai! After several considerations, Hideyoshi decided to recognize Konoe as his godfather and become Sekiha; But at the same time, Hideyoshi had lost the qualifications to become the opening of the shogun of Seiyi, because his surname was "Fujiwara" and not "Gen". (Later, he felt that the four famous clans "Genpei Fujitachibana" could no longer represent him, so he asked the emperor to give him the surname "Toyotomi", hoping to become the fifth most famous family in Japan.) After Guan Bai retired, he was called Taige, which is the origin of Taige's determination to pass on this game. As for Tokugawa Ieyasu, after the death of Imagawa Yoshimoto, he "self-examined" that he came from Genji, so he had the qualifications to be appointed as the general of the Seiyi. (Since he has "researched" it, even if the emperor's ****** has great courage, he will not dare to confront him with heavy troops)

Now that he can no longer become another shogun, he can only let his children walk on the road of the public family. Maybe there will be descendants who will become Guan Bai or regents, so that the family will become the sixth clan of the Wa Kingdom!

Half a month later, Xu Huanshan and Shi Lang's fleet reappeared on the surface of Edo Bay, and the fully replenished fleet raised its sails like clouds and sailed eastward. On the dock on the shore, Iemitsu-san, and Tennomaru, who had been officially named Xia Ren, led a group of officials from the two systems of the Japanese family and the samurai family to cry like tears.

This visit, which was largely satisfactory to both sides, was attacked by a large number of conscientious historians in the future. One of them was an old man who lived in several countries and knew a German nobleman. He described the visit with an unusually angry emphasis: "It was a naked oppression and blackmail by the Chinese bourgeoisie against the colonies, and they used their usual simple but tried tricks to take advantage of the differences within the ruling class of Dongying, and with only a few gifts, they completely gave up control of the country and basic national dignity. What followed was the frenzied dumping of commodities and the bankruptcy of a large number of Dongying handicraftsmen, and the choice that the bankrupt could make was either to go thousands of miles away to serve as cannon fodder for the Chinese Empire, or to serve as coolies in Nanyang and North America, South America, and ten states, and other places, and women might have one more choice, that is, to act as prostitutes.

Of course, there is also a Russian who uses the name of the river as his name, and he has written many amazing works in his life, but he only said one thing about this matter: this is the best way for the Chinese bourgeoisie and the feudal lords of Dongying to collude. (To be continued.) )
