In the Edo shogunate, Tokugawa Iemitsu had a spring breeze on his face, and with the help of the sailors of the Ming Dynasty, he wiped out all the powerful daimyo domains.

In recent years, the Satsuma clan has been fighting fiercely with the Franco-Rang and the Dutch, and has rapidly developed into a powerful domain, but its momentum has been extinguished before it can get up.

In fact, if Hou Xuanyan hadn't intervened in time, the Satsuma Domain would have been the foundation of the Japanese Navy in the future.

Most of the generals of the Japanese Navy, which was dominant in later generations, were from the Satsuma Domain, and Tokugawa Iemitsu used the Daimei Navy to completely pacify it.

Tokugawa Iemitsu is equivalent to practicing a bronze number, experiencing a king's equipment, and sweeping the novice village, how can he not be happy.

In the shogunate's daiku (the shogun's palace), Tokugawa Iemitsu invited Gong Zifang to a banquet, and almost all of the Tokugawa shogunate's important ministers were listed.

Tokugawa Iemitsu was very humble and wanted Gong Zifang to sit on the top, but Gong Zifang refused. This kind of meaningless and unprofitable honor, Gong Zifang doesn't want it, he is a natural businessman, and he has pragmatic blood in his bones. If he really sat on top of the Japanese lord, it would not do him or the Ming any good.

The influence of the Han style to the east changed the Japanese Kabuki, and they didn't like the quirks of white faces and black teeth. A group of Japanese beauties in Hanfu in neon clothes and feathers danced gracefully to help the fun, and even Gong Zifang watched it with relish.

Nowadays, there is no tariff between Japan and the Ming Dynasty, free exchanges, often the Ming Dynasty Qinhuai River Oiran line first to perform song and dance, by the Japanese as a celestial man, received a large number of fans, has a super high popularity, imitators have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, but also changed the traditional Japanese song and dance.

It is a natural thing for the Han people to cross to the east, and the Japanese people have been imitating and learning from the Han people for thousands of years. Now the Ming Dynasty's developed shipping has given them better opportunities and more convenient ways, so that a large number of Japanese people have come to the Central Plains to study.

Tokugawa Iemitsu raised his glass and said to Gong Zifang: "Gong Dudu, for the friendship between Japan and the Ming Dynasty, cheers!" ”

Gong Zifang nodded with a smile, raised his glass and drank it all. His prestige in Japan is getting higher and higher, and he is almost like an emperor, but Gong Zifang doesn't want to stay here, Jinling is the center of the world now, and Edo is like a small town in comparison.

There is just a Qinglou woman in Jinling, and when she comes here, she is like a fairy in the sky, not to mention the amount of food and drink, everything cannot be compared.

Tokugawa Iemitsu saw that Gong Zifang's expression was a little lonely, and asked with concern: "Gong Dudu, why are you depressed?" ”

"I have been away from home for a long time, and it is the end of the year, and I am a little sad, but I am worried about the lord of the country." Gong Zifang said lightly.

The purpose of today's banquet, Gong Zifang's heart is clear, that is, Tokugawa Iemitsu wants to depose the emperor and ascend the throne.

The emperor has always been a puppet, and no one in Japan has ever thought of deposing the emperor, but now the situation is different, Hou Xuanyan accepted the Zen throne as emperor, so that Tokugawa Iemitsu had the idea of becoming the emperor himself. And the daimyo all over Japan have been swept away, and he has no worries.

Tokugawa Iemitsu, who took Hou Xuanyan as an example, wanted to follow in his footsteps very much, and Gong Zifang was noncommittal about this. As a governor, he was a true master of economic matters, but he was not very sensitive to political matters.

Gong Zifang, who is quite self-aware, has already written this incident into a concert and sent it to Jinling.

What he has to do now is to wait and see what happens, not to participate or object, and to wait for Jinling's reply.

Tokugawa Iemitsu stood up, walked to Gong Zifang's table, and said with a smile: "Don't be sad, I will go to Daming in the near future, and I can take Gong Dudu with me at that time." ”

As soon as Gong Zifang heard this, he was a little moved, as long as he returned to Jinling, he could ask His Majesty to stay in Jinling as an official. When people reach their age, they are always inseparable from their homeland, especially Gong Zifang, these remnants of Jiading, cherish their current family even more.

Gong Zifang picked up the wine glass and raised his voice: "Dry!" ”

The mouth spits out turbidity, as if the negative emotions in my heart are also vomited out.

In the Forbidden City of Jinling, in the Nuanfang Pavilion, Hou Xuanyan was lying on the warm bed, squinting at the university scholar in the hall and the elixir dressed as a scholar.

"Let's talk about it, is there a need for the emperor to exist?"

Everyone present didn't care much about the affairs of Japan, pouted and didn't have any opinions, the elixir rolled his eyes, and said: "Your Majesty, the name of the emperor must be changed, it is better to let the Tokugawa family replace them, and then change the title to king." As soon as this example is opened, Japan's careerists will surely spring up like mushrooms after a rain, and I am afraid that it will not be peaceful. ”

Hou Xuanyan's eyes lit up, what this kid said was right, as long as there is a rebel and the emperor, it is like opening a magic box.

"Let Tokugawa Iemitsu come to Jinling, and I will have a good chat with him, and then decide whether or not to help him depose the emperor. The current situation is that if I don't allow him to be deposed, he will not dare to dethrone. As soon as I open my mouth, he will become the true ruler of Japan. ”

Chen Mingyu said: "Your Majesty, since you want the Japanese lord to come to Jinling, it is better to take the opportunity to issue an edict and let all the vassal countries come to pay tribute." This New Year, we will reproduce the grand occasion of the coming of all nations. ”

This New Year is of great significance to Hou Xuanyan, the Ma family father and daughter are planning to change the country name and the year name, if there are kings of various countries to participate, it will be even more convincing.

Ma Shiying and Ma Lingyao seconded the proposal together, and Hou Xuanyan saw that everyone agreed, so he agreed casually.

The envoys of Jinling City Gate went out and went to various countries to announce the decree, the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty have not come to pay tribute for a long time, this time Hou Xuanyan directly ordered their king to come in person, if the king is old, more than sixty, you can also let the prince come.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites were busy again, this matter was not a trivial matter, and it was enough for them to be busy for a while.

It is a very glorious thing for all countries to come to the court, after Gu Yanwu received the order, he summoned the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and Jinling was busy again.
