Shi Fenglai's spirit was obviously lifted.

As a minister, what is there not to be satisfied with if he can get his share? Even if you don't make it to the first assistant, what can you do?

There are more ministers who have hung up in the Ming Dynasty, but the one who can really let Emperor Chongzhen visit in person, except for the former British Duke Zhang Weixian, can we give someone one.

However, the situation of the British public Zhang Weixian is different from himself.

Today's emperor's attention and trust in the British princess lineage, as long as the world is not blind, can see that the old British prince is also fighting for the country for a lifetime, so it is also considered appropriate to get the emperor's visit before leaving.

However, Emperor Chongzhen's attitude towards Wenchen is not very good, and it is also a well-known thing.

In this way, it is even more rare for Emperor Chongzhen to come to Kyushu Island.

After cheering up, Shi Fenglai gasped and said: "Order someone to prepare the palace for Your Majesty, old man, old man will go to the dock to greet him!" ”

Shen Hao helped Shi Fenglai, who wanted to get up, and said with a smile: "Elder Shi Ge is too anxious, Your Majesty just ordered someone to send a message, but it is not already at the dock, it is estimated that it will take some time?" ”

Seeing Shen Hao's gaze on him, Zhu Hu said: "According to the itinerary of the North Sea Fleet, it will probably take about half a month to reach Kyushu Island. ”

Shi Fenglai stopped wanting to get up, and just said to Shen Hao: "Be sure to arrange Your Majesty's palace, as well as the things that the old man gave you before, don't forget!" ”

Shen Hao said with a smile: "Elder Shi Ge can rest assured that the students must have arranged it properly." It's just that Your Majesty is here, those things, why doesn't Shi Ge Lao face His Majesty? ”

Shi Fenglai said: "Let's see, if the old man can really last another half a month, then he will personally present it to His Majesty, if not, there will be Lao Ziming." ”

Shen Hao's heart was sour, but he nodded and said, "Don't worry, the students will definitely live up to their trust!" ”

Shi Fenglai nodded in thanks, but continued: "Since Your Majesty is coming, the matter of the Tokugawa family coming to Kyushu Island will change." ”

Shen Hao nodded and said, "What does Shi Ge Lao mean?" ”

Shi Fenglai said: "Although Your Majesty has never said it directly, it can be seen that our Majesty, I am afraid that there is no one on the island."

Although the old man doesn't know why His Majesty has such a great hatred for this Japanese country, he should share the worries of the king as a courtier.

At present, the Ming Dynasty is fighting everywhere, although it has not completely evacuated all the domestic troops, and it has not had a big impact on the livelihood of the people, but the impact is definitely there.

If the war of the Japanese kingdom is opened again, can you imagine what the consequences will be? ”

Shen Hao nodded, and said thoughtfully: "As said in "A Fang Gong Fu", those who destroy the Six Kingdoms are also the Six Kingdoms, not Qin; The Qin of the clan is also Qin, not the world.

Your Majesty's genius is now almost all the contradictions within the Ming Dynasty have been transferred to the conquest and construction, so that the Ming Dynasty can recuperate in peace.

It's just that since ancient times, it has been possible to win the world immediately, but it is difficult to rule the world immediately. Your Majesty's move is inevitably a bit too risky, and Your Majesty is here, then everything is worry-free, if there is something unbearable to say, and the heir does not have such an eloquence as His Majesty, it is inevitable that the world will be turbulent, and it is very likely to reproduce the violent Qin. ”

Shi Fenglai nodded and said, "Your Majesty can see it better than anyone else, or rather, everyone can see it clearly, but only Your Majesty dares to make this risky move."

What is the root cause of the turmoil in the world? Is it for the homeless? But what is the root cause of the displacement?

Isn't it still that you have lost your land and can't eat? ”

After a long sigh, Shi Fenglai continued: "All the princes in the court can see it clearly, but they only think about their own mess.

The bad thing is to think about how to make yourself more silver and land, who cares if the people live or die?

If it's better, it's just the mentality that a thief comes to me and dies, but this is exactly what Da Ming doesn't need.

Daming is not afraid of corrupt officials, and His Majesty doesn't care whether the officials are greedy or not, what His Majesty cares about is whether these officials can do things and whether they can let the people eat a full meal!

But ah, they can see it clearly, but they are blinded by the white silver, even the old man and Wen Ge Lao can be denounced as eunuchs by those righteous gentlemen!

If it really goes on like this, how many more years can my Daming last? Decade? Twenty years?

Under the continuous natural disasters, a large number of displaced people have been produced, and if they can survive for 20 years, it can be said that they are blessed by their ancestors. ”

Shen Hao nodded yes, and continued: "What Elder Shi Ge said is extremely true, and it is precisely His Majesty who dares to make such a dangerous move, so that he has renewed his life and extended his life for my Ming Dynasty." ”

Thinking about all the things that Emperor Chongzhen has done since he ascended the throne, even Shen Hao, a guy who thinks he is very bold, shuddered.

If anyone was in the position of Emperor Chongzhen at that time, it is estimated that they would choose to appease the courtiers, rather than relying on the eunuchs and factory guards to directly clean the court, let alone put Jiannu outside the capital.

But Emperor Chongzhen just did it, and he didn't avoid arrows, personally went to the city to supervise the battle, personally led the troops to pursue Jiannu, and later continued to expand the territory, transforming all the internal contradictions of the entire Ming Dynasty into external contradictions - this kind of dangerous trick can almost be compared with the empty city plan in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it is completely a game of putting it to death and then revitalizing!

Shi Fenglai nodded yes, and then said: "There are still several battlefields in the Ming Dynasty now.

Needless to say, the Jiannu of Liaodong were flat, but there were still remnants of the Dolgon Department north of the Mughals, and it was said that they were fighting against the Mao barbarians further north.

Although the land of the Mughal is peaceful, but in the old man's opinion, it is just a delaying tactic, Your Majesty will one day raise a large army to expedition again, what will happen then?

Now, Your Majesty wants to come to Kyushu Island in person, but I don't know how much storm it will set off? What should we do? How will the slaves react? ”

Shen Hao shook his head and said, "Students can't guess it, how can others guess His Majesty's thoughts casually?"

It's just that as Shi Ge Lao said, His Majesty seems to have an unspeakable hatred for the Japanese slaves.

In the student's opinion, even though His Majesty is a little ...... Some eyes ......"

After thinking about it, Shen Hao still didn't have the courage to say that Emperor Chongzhen was careful and would repay him, so he simply changed his words: "Even if it is because of the previous rebellion, it has been almost more than a hundred years, and Your Majesty has never experienced the rebellion, how can there be such a great hatred?" ”

Shi Fenglai also scratched his head: "The old man can't guess either."

In fact, the old man had discussed with Wen Ge Lao and others, but he really couldn't guess where His Majesty's hatred came from - whether it was the Japanese Invaders who were in chaos, or because of Korea and the Ryukyus, they were a little unreasonable? ”

After pondering for a long time, Shi Fenglai continued: "And no matter why Your Majesty hates these dwarfs of the Wa Kingdom so much, as long as we cooperate with Your Majesty well, we will take all the Wa Kingdom in our pockets."

It's just that, as the old man just said, I can no longer start a war lightly, for this Japanese country, as long as the blunt knife cuts the flesh, sooner or later it can collapse, and then take the Japanese country, it will be easy. ”

Shen Hao said: "Now there is a lot of salt and wine in Fushou ointment, which is being injected into the Wa Kingdom, but the silver of the Wa Kingdom has flowed into the Ming Dynasty, and it is only a matter of time before the Wa Kingdom is completely hollowed out."

However, although this is the case, it is difficult to say what His Majesty will do? ”

Shi Fenglai smiled bitterly: "Who said it wasn't? Your Majesty has always acted like this, and he has always been unrestrained.

By the way, on the side of the envoy of the Japanese Kingdom, you should entertain and settle down, and Natokugawa Iemitsu, as long as he comes, you must find a way to let him stay for a few more days, and it is best to let him meet His Majesty! ”

Shen Hao said with some hesitation: "It's good to let Tokugawa Iemitsu stay for a while and even let him go to see Your Majesty, but if Your Majesty ......."

Shi Fenglai said categorically: "Then let Tokugawa Iemitsu die!"

As the saying goes, the snake is headless, and once Tokugawa Iemitsu, the actual controller of the Wa Kingdom, dies, it is estimated that the Wa Kingdom will be in chaos for a while, so that it will be convenient for my army to set foot on the Wa Kingdom and fulfill His Majesty's wishes! ”

Shen Hao couldn't help but be a little embarrassed - Tokugawa Iemitsu's second son, who should be the next shogun of the shogunate, was still studying in the Ming Dynasty, and the operators were Shi Fenglai and Ren Zhen, the dead eunuchs.

However, Shi Fenglai didn't seem to have the slightest psychological pressure to kill Tokugawa Iemitsu, who respected him very much-Shen Hao somewhat understood why the people of the Donglin Party reprimanded Shi Fenglai for being a eunuch.

Except for the eunuchs, although the rest of the Donglin party members are shameless, they will not throw away their cheeks naked like Shi Fenglai......

Could it be that there is a popular saying among the people, saying that Wu Dalang plays with night owls, what kind of people play with what kind of birds......

……

Tokugawa Iemitsu's speed is not slow, and within a few days after Tokugawa Saemonzo arrived on Kyushu Island and obtained Shen Hao's consent, Tokugawa Iemitsu arrived on Kyushu Island, and it seems that Tokugawa Iemitsu has been waiting outside Kyushu Island early.

In fact, Tokugawa Iemitsu was really waiting for news from Tokugawa Saemonzo outside Kyushu Island, and even Tokugawa Iemitsu was completely sure that Shen Hao would agree to his request.

Because not only did he have a good relationship with the dead eunuch Ren Zhen, but his friendship with Shi Fenglai was also real, and even his favorite son, Tokugawa Iezuna, also worshiped Shi Fenglai's disciple and was arranged to go to the Guozijian of Daming to study.

With so many friendships added together, Tokugawa Iemitsu was completely sure that he could visit Shi Fenglai - in fact, Tokugawa Iemitsu was really worried about Shi Fenglai's physical condition, but he didn't have any other thoughts.

When Tokugawa Iemitsu arrived at the Kyushu Island Governor's Mansion, Shen Hao had already appeared in front of the Kyushu Island Governor's Mansion rarely.

Tokugawa Iemitsu took two steps forward and paused: "Because I can't rest assured that Mr. Shi's physical condition is not good, Iemitsu took the liberty to come and disturb me!" ”

Shen Hao laughed and said: "Mr. Tokugawa is concerned about Shi Ge Lao's physical condition, and Shen is also happy for Shi Ge Lao, so why do you take the liberty of saying it?" Please! ”

After Shen Hao took two steps forward, Tokugawa Iemitsu couldn't help but say, "I don't know what happened to Mr. Shi's physical condition?" ”

Shen Hao wiped the corners of his eyes and sighed: "It can only be said that it is sometimes good and sometimes bad, if it weren't for the imperial doctor sent by the queen mother on Kyushu Island, plus those medicinal materials sent by the Tokugawa ancestors, I am afraid that Shi Ge Lao would not be able to survive it if he is serious." ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu also sighed: "I have always admired Mr. Shi's academic demeanor, but there are many affairs to be dealt with in Japan, and I can't find time to come for a while, which is a pity, and now Iemitsu finally has time to come, but Mr. Shi's physical condition is not very good, which is really regrettable!" ”

Shen Hao smiled and said, "Mr. Tokugawa came by coincidence, there is a great happy event coming in the past few days, and Elder Shi Ge's spirit has improved a little, maybe he can talk with Mr. Tokugawa for a while?" ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu sighed and said curiously: "I don't know what kind of happy event it is, but it can make Mr. Shi so happy?" Could it be that Da Ming won another battle? If so, I will be honored all over Japan? ”

Shen Hao laughed and said, "Is it a sure thing to win the battle, it's not strange." Now that the Holy Son of Heaven is in power, it is strange news that I can't win the battle, and this is not a great joy. ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu was even more curious now, and said, "Would you like to hear about it?" ”

Shen Hao said with a smile: "This is a great happy event, it is that His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty will come to Kyushu Island to visit Shi Ge Lao, and Shi Ge Lao's spirit will naturally be good." ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu, who suddenly came to his senses, stroked his palms and sighed: "His Majesty the Ming Emperor has taken such a fancy to Mr. Shi that he wants to visit in person, this is indeed a great joy!" ”

couldn't stop admiring it, but Tokugawa Iemitsu was a little disappreciative in his heart, and even faintly unhappy.

Tokugawa Iemitsu, who has some understanding of the culture of the Central Plains, and even studied in the Ming Dynasty among the first batch of Ming envoys, knows very well what the consequences of Emperor Chongzhen's personal visit to Kyushu Island will be - even if Shi Fenglai's body can survive it, after Emperor Chongzhen came to visit, Shi Fenglai must die.

After Shen Hao took a few steps forward, Tokugawa Iemitsu looked at the scenery in the courtyard of the Governor's Mansion and said: "Sure enough, it is worthy of being made by the master craftsmen of the Heavenly Empire, and the grandeur of the Governor's Mansion has really suppressed eight or nine out of ten buildings in Japan, but I am afraid that only the palace under the Heavenly King can be compared." ”

Shen Hao was a little unimpressed-what good buildings can be built in this shabby place of the Wa Kingdom? A governor's palace just bluffed you? If you really look at the Forbidden City, you can't think that you have arrived in the world where the gods live?

While politely, Shen Hao led Tokugawa Iemitsu towards the backyard of the Governor's Palace, and slowly turned to Shi Fenglai's residence.

As soon as he saw Shi Fenglai, who was described as withered, Tokugawa Iemitsu exclaimed: "Iemitsu has seen Mr. How did the gentleman become like this? When Jiaguang visited Mr. at the beginning, Mr.'s demeanor really impressed Jiaguang's five-body throw, and now? ”
