Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Assassination of the Special Envoy
On August 18 of the first year of Keicho (1596 AD), under the leadership of Hidebo, a delegation of more than 180 people finally arrived at Sakai Port.
It wasn't just anyone who leaked the news, not only the dignitaries, but also the ordinary people of Ho Quan, Shancheng, and Hanoi got the news before the mission arrived, and they walked the streets and alleys to tell each other, and the neighbors came to the periphery of the wharf in groups and blocked both sides of the road tightly, just to see what the "angel" looked like.
"In the end, it is the land of Jingluo, the officials are elegant, and the people are enthusiastic, which is not comparable to the small city on the island." Yang Fangheng rode on top of the high-headed horse, thinking back to the respect of the Li family and others, and seeing the bustling crowds on both sides of the road, he couldn't help but feel emotional.
"Who says it's not," Shen Weijing greeted him with his head, "Seeing this scene, adults should be able to understand that Ping Xiuji is sincerely seeking peace, right?" ”
Seeing Yang Fangheng bowing slightly, Huang Shen immediately reminded softly: "Lord Yang, the Japanese are scheming, you can't believe it easily." ”
"Exactly, we in North Korea have not been deceived by that monkey." Park Hongchang also agreed.
"What adults should do and what they shouldn't do, you can't tell me." Shen Weijing stopped the two of them with a loud shout, and then turned to Yang Fangheng and said with a smile: "My lord, what should I do later, please obey the lowly arrangement." ”
"That's natural," Yang Fangheng then remembered that the core person of this mission was not himself, but the Shen Weijing Lord Shen beside him, his cheeks couldn't help twitching a few times, and he replied embarrassedly: "The old man understands, everything is up to Lord Shen." ”
"Shen Wei respects you!" Huang Shen was so angry by the scene in front of him that he gritted his teeth, and just wanted to open his mouth to curse, but was stopped by Park Hongchang next to him.
Park Hongchang tugged at his sleeve and whispered comfortingly: "Don't look at his current spirit, he will have something to do when we meet Hideyoshi." ”
It was supposed to take only one day to get from Sakai Port to Fushimi, but the crowd on the road was so large that the road was blocked, and even the envoys were worshiped as gods, burning incense and praying along the streets, which made the situation even more chaotic, and the procession did not leave Hanoi for two days.
Seeing this, the mission had no choice but to take the streets of Yamato and enter Yamashiro Province via Kofukuji Temple, and Hideho also broke away from the group and returned to Yamato Castle with the permission of the Toshiya family to visit his long-lost family, although he had to go to Beijing three days later to attend Hideyoshi's canonization ceremony.
Xiubao has been away from home for more than two months, and as soon as he entered the door, he was attacked by a comprehensive "attack" from Zhiyun Temple to Muyi. Let's talk about Zhiyun Yuan first, regardless of the fatigue of Xiubao's boat, he insisted on pulling him to Xiuchang's tablet to recite Buddhist scriptures, pray for peace, and toss for two hours; As soon as he came out of the Buddhist hall, he was pulled closer to the dormitory by Komahime, looking at her eight-month-old belly, Xiubao was very happy, if he came back one step later, I am afraid that he would not even see the child for the first time; Although Sakura didn't ask for it, but after all, she was pregnant, and she had to care for it somewhat, who knew that this went to become Sakurahime's grievance meeting, the pain of pregnancy, the pain of lovesickness, the pain of homesickness, and the bitterness, and it was hard to entangle Xiubao until late at night, if it weren't for the fact that there were still three rooms to go, Xiubao also slept there, but when he thought of Juhime, he still endured his sleepiness and returned to the Honmaru Palace.
Seeing that the candle in the bedroom had been extinguished, Xiu Bao retreated in his heart: "Ju Ji is the main room, but I haven't come to see each other until now, so it's unreasonable, instead of disturbing her to rest, it's better to come over the next day to 'ask for sin'."
Thinking of this, Xiubao turned around and walked towards the study, but after just two steps, he regretted it again: "I am the head of the family, I can come and go as I want, and I can see as I want... No matter how much it is, today is the end of today! With that, Xiubao stood still, turned around and came to the door, and struggled again in his heart, finally persuaded his hands and gently pushed open the paper sliding door.
With the moonlight shining through the crack in the door, Xiubo barely managed to find Kikuhime's mattress, quickly peeled off his coat and crept into the bed.
Xiubao wanted to learn the plot of the TV series and slowly take Kikuhime into his arms from behind, so as to extinguish the displeasure in her heart, but when he was about to put his hand around Kikuhime's waist, he accidentally touched her tall breasts, and the cheeks of the "head of the family" were suddenly scorched, and he quickly withdrew his hand, but who knew that he was caught by Juji as soon as he received half of it.
"The concubine thought that His Royal Highness had something to say when he came so late, but she just wanted to 'do this'." Although I couldn't see Ju Ji's face clearly, I could still hear a little complaint in my tone.
"What such and that, I, I really want to come and see you, who would have thought that he would make a mistake for a while..."Xiubao tried to withdraw his hand, but Ju Ji was not to be outdone, and insisted on holding on, and the two were deadlocked.
"Your Highness, do you know that the concubine has been waiting for you for a day?" Ju Ji came out coldly, which immediately made Xiubao's eyes moisten, "The concubine has been thinking since the morning, you will definitely be the first to come to see me, but you went to the Buddha Hall; At noon I was thinking that you should come and see me next, but you went to Komahime; In the evening, I was thinking again, you should come to see me this time, but you went to Sakurahime, Your Highness, are you still holding a grudge against the concubine, hating me for not keeping the young master. ”
"Stupid!" Xiubao violently broke free of Ju Ji's shackles, hugged her tightly in his arms, and cried bitterly with grief and remorse in his heart: "Stupid woman, everything is over, let's not mention it again, okay, it's all my fault, I made you suffer, you are all I have, how can I blame you, we can regenerate the child without it, you are gone, and I don't want to live anymore." ”
"Your Highness is going to talk nonsense," Kikuhime turned around and muttered, "You can't die, if you die, who will Komahime confide in?" Who is Sakurahime going to complain to? Who will help copy my mother's Buddhist scriptures? ”
"Okay, you, my every move can't escape Madame's eyes," Xiubao realized that Ju Ji was deliberately playing tricks on herself, pinching her nose and sneering: "Since you know that I have no choice but to tease me like this, see if I don't clean you up today." ”
"Your Highness, ......"
…,…
At noon the next day, when Hideho was having dinner with his family (Hideho retained the Chinese habit of eating three meals a day), a small surname broke into the room in a panic, kowtowing and shouting: "Lord, something is wrong, the envoy of the Ming Kingdom was shot and wounded by Lord Fukushima!" ”
"Say it again, what happened to Gao Ji's envoys?" Hideho couldn't believe his ears, although Gao Ji was reckless, but he wouldn't offend the envoy without anything, if he let Hideyoshi know, plus the incident of Changji Pass last time, I'm afraid his life would be in danger.
"The specific situation is not clear to the villain, His Royal Highness Maeda, please hurry up and go to Duowen Mountain City." The little surname replied resignedly.
"It looks like the three-day holiday is going to be in the soup again." Xiu Bao ordered the little surname to go down immediately to prepare the horses, and instructed Nasu Ziji to lead the horses and the people to go with him to Duowen Mountain.
In the large room of the Tawensan Palace, Fukushima Takayoshi knelt under the hall with his hands behind his back, and looked at Huang Shen sitting in the side seat with a resentful expression, the North Korean messenger had a bandage on his head, looked at the Li family with a painful expression, and kept pouting in his mouth: "Lord Maeda has to be the master of the next generation, this person has the audacity to assassinate the mission, and not giving the death penalty is not enough to vent the hatred in his heart." ”
"Lord Huang is also overestimating himself." Xiubao walked into the main hall quickly, and instructed the left and right horses: "Come on, take down these North Koreans for me!" ”
