Masahito successfully sold his daughter, and he couldn't help but secretly thank the shogunate, or the Japanese royal family, which is currently relatively poor.

There is no way, because of poverty, the royal family has now developed to the point where the prince becomes a monk and the princess never marries.

It is precisely because of this that when Xingzi, the current lord of the Wa Kingdom, was seventeen years old, he had not yet married, and he did not even have a husband's family, which was regarded as the eldest son of Emperor Chongzhen.

However, Zhu Cixiao didn't appreciate it, and broke out after the banquet: "The princess is seventeen years old, five years older than her son!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "Don't you hear that there is a saying among the people, the female junior holds the gold brick?" ”

Zhu Cixiao sneered: "Then according to what my father said, wouldn't my son have to add two silver bricks after holding the gold bricks?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen was immediately choked by Zhu Cixiao's words, and said angrily: "What about two gold bricks!?" The marriage I gave you, do you still want to oppose it? ”

Zhu Cixiao was stunned for a moment, and said a little stupidly: "Erchen doesn't dare." It's just that the ministers don't like the daughter of the country, and they don't want the concubine to be the daughter of the country, that person is not a ghost or a ghost, so compared to my Han girl! ”

Emperor Chongzhen narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly: "Bastard thing, did you sneak out again?" Have you ever met a Japanese woman? ”

Zhu Cixie's heart was empty, and he knelt down and said: "Father Qi, the son went out, but he didn't run out secretly, but he went out with the brocade guard and the eunuch with him, and no one stopped the son in the middle." ”

Going out in the open, not secretly running out, this reason is very good and powerful, Emperor Chongzhen was also a little speechless, but after scolding a bastard with hatred, he no longer pursued: "The matter of you going out without permission has been revealed, but you have to marry this princess."

As for what you are worried about, in fact, there is no need, I have already ordered someone to arrange the corresponding manpower, including the waiting maid and the training grandmother, and when you complete the ceremony and marry him, I think this Xingzi is already the same as my Ming woman. ”

After finishing speaking, a strange look appeared on Emperor Chongzhen's face, and he said: "Speaking of which, this woman of the Japanese country is also quite similar to the woman on the grassland, and after she got married, she devoted herself to her husband's family. ”

Zhu Cixiao was also a little interested at this time: "What if I use troops against the Japanese State in the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen said: "She naturally helps you tidy up your armor, prepare your sword, and take care of things at home." ”

Zhu Cixiao pursed his lips and said, "Just like my mother and concubine are thinking about how to trick my grandfather?"

It's just that this Xingzi is the daughter of the Wa King after all, and she has been the lord of the Wa Kingdom for a long time, will she really be willing? If she is in trouble, how should her sons respond? ”

Emperor Chongzhen said with some meaning: "What's so difficult about this? If you really like her, don't teach her to touch these things.

If you don't have much affection for her, why is it difficult to build a temple of meditation?

I tell you that the heavenly family is not really ruthless, but all feelings must make way for the word world! If you can't do this, I'm afraid you won't even be able to do it well! ”

When Zhu Cixiao heard this, he was a little unconvinced and said: "Father only teaches his sons and ministers, have you really been ruthless?" Erchen always heard how Wei Zhongxian was at the beginning, and he also heard that the people said how Wen Ge Lao was, and he didn't see how you did to them, but Wei Zhongxian is now able to recuperate in his old age, and Wen Ge is still the first assistant of the dynasty? ”

Emperor Chongzhen sneered: "That's because they are sensible!"

Your imperial uncle left Wei Zhongxian for me, originally to let him clean up those disobedient officials in the court for me, and collect money for me by the way, to put it bluntly, Wei Zhongxian is a vicious dog that bites people by relying on the power of his master.

However, the biggest difference between me and your imperial uncle is that I know one thing—only names and instruments cannot be dummies!

I have the righteousness of the world in my hands, the soldiers and horses in the world, and the largest money village in the world, whether it is the name or the weapon, it is in my own hands, and naturally I don't need him Wei Zhongxian to do things, which is also the biggest difference between me and your imperial uncle.

In other words, Wei Zhongxian is on a good errand, he can live, if I want him to die, he will definitely not survive tomorrow, and I can find the corresponding manpower to replace him at any time.

Therefore, you must remember that only names and instruments cannot be dummies, and this is the truth. ”

Zhu Cixiao bowed down and said, "Erchen has written it down." ”

Emperor Chongzhen shook his head and said, "Not only do you have to write it down, but after you really become the king of Liao, you will find that there are still many things in this world that will give you a headache."

Not only civil and military officials, but also the people, the people are safe, the people are safe, and the people are chaotic, the world has always been like this, the kings of the past dynasties actually understood it, but it is difficult to do. ”

Zhu Cixiao bowed and said, "Please teach my father?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen said: "The Son of Heaven represents the herdsmen of the Heavens, and then the hundred officials represent the herdsmen of the Son of Heaven." I came to ask you, is it a herdsman of the Son of Heaven or a herdsman of Baiguan? ”

Emperor Chongzhen's words made Zhu Cixie, who was only twelve years old, fall into deep thought.

There are many Confucians in the palace who teach the emperor to read, and the most talked about in the past is also the emperor of heaven and the hundred officials who control the people.

But in fact, Zhu Cixiao and Zhu Cihong didn't believe in this sentence.

In addition to their studies in the palace, Zhu Cixiao and Zhu Cihong also had to go to the young army for training, and they spent a lot of time outside the palace - it seems that the people's evaluation of their emperor's father is infinitely high, but the opinions of the officials are different.

Through the opinions of the people, Zhu Cixiao and Zhu Cihong easily came to a conclusion.

The officials will not honestly act according to their father's will, and many times there will be changes.

The two people who grew up in this environment in the palace are not stupid, what they see and hear, everything is buried in their hearts, but they don't say it, they just slowly observe all this.

Now hearing Emperor Chongzhen suddenly ask such a question, Zhu Cixiao's heart was a little confused, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

After pondering for a long time, Zhu Cixian spoke: "The sons and daughters are outside the palace, especially when they went out of the palace to Myanmar last time, they can be regarded as having seen a lot, and the local officials don't seem to be doing things exactly according to the will of the emperor?"

Erchen believed that his father must know this, because they couldn't hide it from the spies of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, but they didn't know why their father didn't pay attention to it? ”

Emperor Chongzhen said: "When the water is clear, there is no fish, and when people are observed, there are no disciples. Of course, I knew that the officials below were making small moves, and I also knew that they were greedy for money behind my back.

However, you have to know, how many can the so-called Son of Heaven shepherd on behalf of the herdsmen? The so-called Son of Heaven represents the herdsmen of the Son of Heaven, and the herdsmen of the Son of Heaven are actually the herdsmen of the Son of Heaven and the Son of Heaven is the herdsmen of the Son of Heaven.

And if you want hundreds of officials to do their errands honestly, you must have benefits for them, otherwise, who will be the official? Who will run errands for the king's shepherds?

So, I know what they're doing, but I will ignore some small things that are not very important, so that they can get some benefits, even if they have carried out six or seven of the ten wills, and the world will be as stable as Mount Tai.

Even, if you want to think about it a little darker, this kind of corrupt officials must actually exist - if necessary, hand them over to appease the anger of the people, who resents the officials and not the king, you know? ”

After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "I ask you again, the lord of the Wa Kingdom is known as the first line of ten thousand generations, do you know the reason?" ”

Zhu Cixiao said tentatively: "In the humble opinion of the sons, there are probably two reasons?

First, the people of the Japanese country are ignorant and unenlightened, and they all regard their lords as gods, so they have the saying that they are one for all generations.

The second is the change of the Shogunate of the Wa Kingdom, and the power is in the hands of the Shogunate, and the lord of the country is only the nominal lord, and there is no threat to the various daimyo and shoguns, so he is retained? ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said: "Yes, it is precisely because its lord is only the nominal lord that the people think that everything is done by the shogunate, and it has nothing to do with their lord, and most of them will think that their lord has been wronged."

It is precisely because of this that the hearts of the common people are naturally biased towards the lord of the other country, believing that all the mistakes are made by the shogunate.

As everyone knows, the shogunate and the lord of the other country are one, and the two are interdependent, but they just maintain a balance.

This time, Masahito asked to marry Xingzi to you, just to upset this balance and regain the power that originally belonged to the lord of that country. ”

Zhu Cixiao said curiously: "What about my father's opinion?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen said: "What do you have to do with me? What does it have to do with Daming?

Even if Masahito did not marry his daughter to you, I must show my support for Masahito, and only in this way will Masahito and his supporters have the confidence to fight against the Tokugawa shogunate, and only in this way will the Wa Kingdom be in chaos in the future and fall into the dispute between the royal power and the shogunate, but it is my Daming who will benefit. ”

Zhu Cixiao fell silent for a while, and after a long while, he asked tentatively: "These should be the emperor's mental tricks to govern the world, is it too much for my father to tell his sons?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said: "I told you a long time ago that you will be the king of Liao, or you may be changed to the king of Japan in the future. How to govern subjects?

It is said that the king will win the world immediately, and he will rule the world after dismounting, and you have already seen how I won the world immediately, and I will teach you now, but how to rule the world, how to shepherd hundreds of officials and rule the people, this is also what the lord of a country must know. ”

The small flame that had just risen was suddenly extinguished - he really thought too much, his father was in the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and he really didn't have half a chance to peek into that position.

After all, Zhu Cixiao is only twelve years old, although he is a little scheming, he can't do the same acting skills as Emperor Chongzhen, at least, the skill of facial paralysis actor is not mastered.

Seeing Zhu Cixiao's disappointed look, Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "You have to remember, what I give you is yours, I don't give it to you, you can't rob it."

Be your Liao King, don't let me down, and don't let your mother be afraid, understand? ”

After being beaten by Emperor Chongzhen again, Zhu Cixie's heart trembled, and he bowed respectfully and said: "Yes, the sons must remember the teachings of their father, and they dare not forget it." ”

Seeing that the beating was almost over, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "After you go back, go to find your mother and concubine, as well as your grandfather, and ask your grandfather to prepare manpower for you, since Ezo Island is the dowry of Xingzi, it is naturally also the fief of your Liao King, how can it be in the hands of those barbarians?" ”

……

After returning to the accommodation arranged by Shen Hao, Tokugawa Iemitsu found Masahito as soon as possible: "It's okay for Admiral Wang Xingzi to marry the prince of the Ming Kingdom, why do you want Ezo Island as a dowry?" ”

Listening to Tokugawa Iemitsu's questioning tone, Masahito's face couldn't help but darken: "Could it be that this king still needs a general to teach me how to do things?" ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu sneered and said: "Those Ezo slaves on Ezo Island were originally captured by me in Japan and sold to the Ming Dynasty, and now the king directly sent Ezo Island out, so the Ezo slaves on the island will be sold by me in Japan?"

What's more, how big is the area of Ezo, and you actually gave it away directly as a dowry, and my land in Japan is suddenly reduced by a quarter! ”

Masahito sneered, "So what? Xingzi is my daughter! I am the king of Japan! ”

Tokugawa Kazuko, who was kneeling on the side, wanted to persuade but didn't dare, seeing that Tokugawa Iemitsu's face was getting darker and darker, Tokugawa Kazuko became more and more anxious.

After being silent for a long time, Tokugawa Iemitsu said coldly: "I hope the king will be like this in the future!" ”

Masahito sneered, "How? Xingzi's husband is the eldest son of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, no matter how dissatisfied you are, do you dare to touch half of this king and Xingzi! ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu simply got up and walked away: "I hope the king doesn't regret it!" ”

After Tokugawa Iemitsu left, Masahito collapsed softly on the couch, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and instructed Tokugawa Kazuko: "This king is tired, prepare to sleep peacefully." ”

Tokugawa Kazuko got up and went to prepare the bed, and what had just happened in the house, someone soon sent the news to the shore of Emperor Chongzhen.

After Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he motioned to Wang Chengen to hand the information to Zhu Cixie again, and said with a smile: "See what?" ”

Zhu Cixiao frowned and said, "Father forgives the sin, but the son doesn't see anything?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "Fake! All this should be a scene that Tokugawa Iemitsu and Masahito acted together on a temporary basis! ”

Zhu Cixiao asked with a confused expression: "Please ask my father to teach me?" ”

Pointing to the information in Zhu Cixie's hand, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "Even if Masahito plans to turn against Tokugawa Iemitsu, will he be stupid enough to be at this time and place?" If you really think they're all stupid, you can only prove that you're a fool! ”
