Fu Tao walked out of the post house, and the charming and swaying woman walked out slowly.

Ichiro Tanaka stood up, his face was solemn, and said, "Mother, Akito's actions are unexpected, if they make a move on Ezo, whether it is Akito or Tokugawaden, they will not let us go!" The Great Hall, this will never be allowed to happen! ”

The demon woman sat down opposite Ichiro Tanaka, Fu Tao's position just now, her expression was calm, calm and terrifying.

Ichiro Tanaka sat down and said to himself, "Mother, what should we do?" If the Tokugawa family's Wakaden really comes, we will have no chance of winning. ”

The capital of the Tokugawa shogunate is naturally stronger than that of the Mutsu, not to mention, although the Date family is dominant in Mutsu, it is not a one-handed cover, and the other daimyo have an ambiguous attitude towards the Tokugawa shogunate, and even more ambiguous towards the Date family.

The demon woman sat there, her brows slightly sank, and she said softly: "Yesterday, I went to a literary meeting and met the Shangshu ...... of the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty."

Ichiro Tanaka's expression was slightly cold, he knew the usual tricks of this man and woman, but she was his titular mother after all!

Demon Ye then shook his head and said thoughtfully: "That Shangshu doesn't seem to know the military movements of the Ming Dynasty. I heard that the general army of the combined fleet of the Ming Dynasty has entered Beijing, and I am afraid that it is really going to attack our Japanese state. ”

Tanaka Ichiro's expression tightened, and said: "Mother, do we want to inform the main hall, if the Ming people occupy Ezo, we Mutsu will bear the brunt, and in the future, we will survive tremblingly between the Ming people and the Tokugawa family, and I can't tell when we will be destroyed!" ”

The demon woman glanced up at him, her face was still calm, and she was calm and terrifying.

"It's too late, we don't know how fast we are." The demon woman reached out and picked up the remnant cup left by Fu Tao, took a sip regardless of whether it was hot or cold, and said, "I believe that the main hall will make a wiser response than us." ”

The head of the Date family, the Date Hall in their mouth, is a person who came over from the Toyotomi Hideyoshi era and has experienced too many things.

Ichiro Tanaka was thoughtful, then nodded and said, "Yes." So, what about the temple? He came to the capital of the Ming people, what did he want to do? ”

Now the Ming Dynasty knows that the annexation of the Japanese Kingdom is a matter of time, and now, it is just waiting for the opportunity.

The demon woman shook her head and said, "The Tokugawa Hall has now controlled all the daimyos, although Shimahara is a little chaotic and still under control, the Tokugawa Hall is mostly trying to delay time and is making preparations." ”

Tanaka Ichiro immediately understood that the Tokugawa shogunate was preparing for a possible invasion by the Ming people.

Fu Tao walked out of the post house and got into a carriage, and in the carriage, a middle-aged man in civilian clothes raised his hand and said, "Eldest son." ”

Fu Tao sat down and said, "They said that they were from the Mutsu Domain, the Date family, and they said that their purpose was to hope that my Ming Dynasty would put pressure on the Tokugawa Shogunate and give them a chance to overthrow the Tokugawa family." The others are all empty mouths and white teeth, trying to calculate and use my Daming. ”

The middle-aged man wrote it down carefully and said, "Okay, the lower official has written it down." This matter, our military intelligence department will take over below, and the eldest prince should not be involved anymore. In addition, the young hall of the Tokugawa family, the eldest prince should not go to see it, the emperor has his own arrangements. ”

Fu Tao knew the importance of this matter, and it was a coincidence that he joined in, and responded: "Okay, I'll get rid of it...... Let me ask one more question, what you told me, take Ezo first, is it serious? ”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "The eldest prince, there are some things that the lower officials can know and say, and they are not something that the eldest prince can listen to." ”

Fu Tao's eyelids jumped, leaned over slightly, and said, "Well, I know." ”

The middle-aged man smiled deeply and got off the carriage at a corner.

At the same time, the Tokugawa family in the capital, who lived in the post house arranged by the Ministry of Rites at the moment, was surprisingly quiet.

That Ruodian, sitting at the table, looked at the teapot on the table, and didn't say a word.

The middle-aged samurai sat beside him, just as silent.

After a long time, the middle-aged samurai spoke, "Wakaden, we entered the Ming Dynasty in the name of 'merchants', and we have nothing to do with the Tokugawa Hall. ”

The young man looked at him and did not speak.

He was not the son of Tokugawa Iemitsu, he was from the far branch, and his coming here was equivalent to 'sending him to death'.

Now, it's finally here.

The middle-aged warrior had a hint of gloom on his face, and said: "Ruodian, since the Ming people don't see us, it doesn't mean that they have no fear, and we can't be sure that they will immediately attack the Wa Kingdom, not to mention, we are not afraid of the Ming people." If the temple, we, still have a chance. ”

The young man raised his head, looked outside, and said in a rather calm tone, "I hate war, I hate all wars, I want to convince the Ming people to give up the invasion of the Wa Kingdom, and peace is the best for the two countries." ”

The middle-aged man knows that this Ruodian has a rare heart of peace, but this kind of heart of peace, whether it is in the Wa Kingdom or in the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that it will seem extremely strange and incompatible with the whole world.

The middle-aged man didn't speak, he was sent by Tokugawa Iemitsu to monitor this Wakaden, as long as he didn't go out of line and completed the task, the rest would not be taken care of.

"Those before should be from Date Temple, right?" The young man spoke suddenly.

Although they entered Beijing later, there were Japanese people who entered the city first and could not hide from them, and they could know who it was by guessing their appearance.

Middle-aged bushido "It should be." ”

The young man's expression was a little lonely, and no matter where he went, it seemed that there was little hope for peace, and those wars were always with him.

The young man was silent for a long time, and said, "The emperor of the Ming Dynasty, when will he meet me?" ”

The middle-aged samurai said: "According to the information I have discovered, the Ming court will be very busy at the end of the year, and it is estimated that they will not see us for a while." ”

The young man frowned, his expression was about to speak, and finally he was silent.

The Japanese people are entangled, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, inside and outside the palace, is also busy with their feet not touching the ground, and it is dark.

Two days later, on the third floor of the cabinet, Zhu Xu's palace.

Bi Ziyan and Zhu Xu sat opposite each other in the living room, Zhu Xu was boiling tea, the procedure was quite complicated, and the operation was repeated over and over again.

Over the years, Zhu Xu has also been regarded as half a master of the tea ceremony, carrying a teapot and pouring small white jade tea bowls, smelling the fragrance of tea, and feeling very good.

Bi Ziyan sat opposite Zhu Xu, his face still had the tired look of dust, but his eyes were cold, his expression was decisive, and he said: "Your Majesty, the minister has gone to many provinces and counties, and what he has seen and heard is shocking and unbelievable. The government is corrupt, the officialdom is chaotic, the people's livelihood is withering, the life is boring, and in some places it is even poor and stolen, and the places where they pass are ten rooms and nine empty, and the desolation is unspeakable......"

Zhu Xu poured out the tea one by one, poured a cup for Bi Ziyan, picked it up himself, and said with a calm smile: "Isn't this something that I have known for a long time?" Over the years, there have been fewer such playbooks? ”

Bi Ziyan's temples jumped, his expression was solemn, he leaned over, and said: "What you see on paper and what you have seen with your own eyes is really a world of difference, and this time, I really felt the seriousness of this disaster and the urgent ...... of the 'New Deal'."
