"Don't dare! Can't! Please forgive your sins! Tokugawa Yasuaki hurriedly apologized, "Shortly after the noble envoy left last year, the old man ...... to the emperor Oh, no, it was His Majesty's Prayer that he was lonely, but our Majesty the King did not listen. The old man is just a subordinate, and there is no way, so he can only let it go! ”

As he spoke, Tokugawa Yasuaki's eyes were full of remorse and regret, as if these had nothing to do with him.

Han Liang nodded noncommittally, and said, "Then I will ask you again, why didn't you send someone to Fusang to ask for guilt after I left last year?" ”

"Wronged, Envoy!" Speaking of this, Tokugawa Yasuaki shouted 'wronged', "The old man also told His Majesty the King of Heaven about asking for guilt from the Heavenly Empire, but His Majesty the King of China felt that His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven was busy with affairs, and he was afraid that he would forget about it after a while, so he did not ask the Celestial Empire for guilt!" ”

"So, you're not at fault at all?" Han Liang sneered.

"How dare the old man?" Tokugawa Yasuaki remorsefully said, "If I had known, the old man should have persuaded His Majesty the King more, otherwise today's incident would not have happened." ”

"Huh!" Han Liang sneered, "Now the general wants to lead the army into the city and ask your king for the guilt, do you want to block the general's army outside the city?" Or do you want to open the gates now? ”

After speaking, Han Liang looked at Tokugawa Yasuaki playfully.

Hearing this, Tokugawa Yasuaki was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

This refusal will obviously anger the Great Zhou general, but if the city gate is opened, what if they attack the defenders of Kyoto City as soon as they enter the city?

Fortunately, Tokugawa Yasuaki was scheming and came up with a 'foolproof strategy', "The general also asked Mingjian, although the old man is the shogunate and is nominally in charge of the state affairs of Fuso, but such a big thing, the old man really can't be the master alone, and please wait for the general to wait for a while, and wait for the old man to return to the city to discuss with His Majesty the King before making a decision, I don't know what the general thinks?" ”

"It makes sense for your king to know about this!" After a moment of silence, he shouted, "Well, I'll give you an hour, and after an hour, if the city gate doesn't open, don't blame Ben for being unkind!" ”

"This ......" Tokugawa Yasuaki still wanted to say more, but seeing that Han Liang's face began to be gloomy, he knew that he was not qualified to bargain for this matter at all, so he said 'thank you', turned around and went back to Kyoto City.

"General, how are the discussions going?" As soon as Han Liang returned to the army, a subordinate stepped forward to ask.

Han Liang sneered and said, "This Tokugawa Yasuaki obviously wants to delay time.

However, General Ben was not stupid and gave him an hour to prepare. Inform the brothers, that after an hour, if the gates of Kyoto Castle have not yet been opened, they will open fire on General Ben and bombard him with the walls of Kyoto Castle! ”

"The last general commands!"

……

Over there, when Tokugawa Yasuaki returned to the city, a large number of subordinates came forward to ask.

Tokugawa Yasuaki recounted the incident, and finally said: "The Zhou people have already spoken, and now we only have one hour to do, what do you think should be done?" ”

For a while, no one stepped forward to come up with an idea.

At this time, Prince Matsuhito in the palace rushed over, and seeing that there was silence here, he hurriedly asked Tokugawa Yasuaki: "Tokugawa General, just now I heard a roar outside the city, and I saw that General You mobilized so many people to immediately build the city wall, what is going on?" Is there a big name in the place who is making trouble and calling it? ”

When Crown Prince Matsuhito spoke, there was not the slightest hint of nervousness and anxiety on his face, but a little proud, Tokugawa Yasuaki was a little angry, so he sneered: "Disappointing His Royal Highness the Prince, there is indeed a large army outside, but it is not a local daimyo, but the Great Zhou Heavenly Army!" ”

"What? The army of the Great Zhou? Hearing this, Crown Prince Songren was stunned for a moment and asked, "Good and dignified, why did the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty come over?" ”

"What do you say?" Yasuaki Tokugawa asked with a sneer.

It's been more than a year since the last Great Zhou envoy came to Fuso, and Crown Prince Matsuhito and his father are puppets, so they can't care about national politics, so they can't even think of it for a while.

It took a long time for Crown Prince Matsuhito to come to his senses.

Last time, it doesn't matter who is right and who is wrong, but now Da Zhou will only put the responsibility on the head of the Fuso royal family.

Knowing this, Crown Prince Matsuhito hurriedly knelt down and begged, "Tokugawa Shogun's help!" ”

"How can I save it?" Tokugawa Yasuaki sneered at Crown Prince Matsuhito who was kneeling on the ground, and his heart was indescribably comfortable, "The Great Zhou Heavenly Army is coming to the city, how do you say you want the old man to save him?" Could it be that the old man would lead the troops to the local Great Zhou Heavenly Army? ”

At first, Crown Prince Matsuhito really didn't have any idea in his heart, but now when he saw Tokugawa Yasuaki say this, his eyes lit up and he said, "Please also ask the general to lead his troops to resist!" ”

In the opinion of Crown Prince Songren, although the Great Zhou army successfully landed, there was a sea barrier between Fusang and the Great Zhou, and there must not be many troops who wanted to come, so he made up his mind.

Tokugawa Yasuaki, the old fox, showed a bit of cunning in his eyes, and said: "Since the crown prince wants the old man to send troops against the Great Zhou Heavenly Army, then please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to go back to the palace and ask His Majesty to bring the holy decree, after receiving the holy decree, the old man did not say a word, and immediately led the troops to fight a decisive battle with the Great Zhou army!" ”

"This ......" Seeing Tokugawa Yasuaki say this, Crown Prince Matsuhito sensed that something was wrong. After all, now that the Tokugawa shogunate is in power at the top and bottom of Fuso, all state affairs are handled directly by themselves without going through the imperial family at all.

It's good now, I want His Majesty's holy decree, is there something greasy in it?

Thinking like this, Crown Prince Matsuhito didn't dare to accept it.

Seeing this, Tokugawa Yasuaki sneered: "What, is it possible that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is unwilling?" That's fine, the old man ordered the soldiers to open the city gate and enlarge Zhou Tianjun's entry into the city! ”

At this moment, Crown Prince Songren didn't dare to hesitate at all, and hurriedly said: "Don't blame the general, I will enter the palace to ask my father for half a step!" ”

Seeing that Crown Prince Matsuhito accepted it, Tokugawa Yasuaki nodded with satisfaction.

However, thinking of the time given by the Great Zhou General outside the city, Tokugawa Yasuaki said directly: "The old man will give His Royal Highness the Crown Prince half an hour, if the old man can't see His Majesty's holy decree after half an hour, he will immediately order the city gate to be opened to welcome the Great Zhou Heavenly Army into the city!" ”

"Half an hour?" Crown Prince Matsuhito begged, "General, is half an hour a little missing?" ”

After all, Crown Prince Matsuhito was not entirely sure that he would be able to convince his father to resist the attack of the Great Zhou army in half an hour.

"With this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince might as well persuade His Majesty the Emperor more!" After saying that, Tokugawa Yasuaki no longer paid attention to Crown Prince Matsuhito......
