Hearing the man opposite compare Japan to a barbarian in clothes, Tian Xiuni's originally calm and waveless mood was almost shattered, and she finally remembered the identity of the man opposite, so she didn't splash the tea soup in her hand.

Since 630 AD, when Emperor Shu Ming sent the first envoy to the Tang Dynasty, from 630 to 895 for more than 260 years, the Japanese imperial court in the Nara period and the Heian period appointed a total of 19 envoys to the Tang Dynasty to learn advanced politics, culture and advanced technology from the Tang Dynasty.

Since then, the Japanese have embraced the Huayi concept of Chinese civilization. In the eyes of the Japanese themselves, although the source of Chinese civilization is in the Tang Dynasty, they have become a member of Chinese civilization after studying. And the barbarians should refer to the Ezo people who do not learn the Four Books and the Five Classics, and the southern barbarians from Europe are.

They spent more than 800 years studying and learning, and when they thought that they were no different from the Chinese, they were shattered by the gentle words of the man opposite. It turns out that in the eyes of these Chinese, the Japanese are just some barbarians in clothes, how can this not make Tianxiuni angry.

After adjusting his breathing and slowly stabilizing his emotions, Tian Xiuni tried to say in a calm tone: "Your Majesty, is this threatening a weak woman?" If this is spread out, His Majesty's behavior will not be laughed at by the world. ”

Zhu Youzhen pushed the tea bowl in front of him in front of Tian Xiuni, and while motioning to the other party to pour tea for himself, he said, "Weak woman? From the hijacking of Tokyoji Temple in Japan to the capital of the Ming Dynasty thousands of miles away, you can still maintain such a peaceful mind, I don't think even ordinary men can do it, so where are you weak?

As for whether today's events will become the laughing stock of the world, it does not depend on whether I have threatened you, but what I have done in my life. But one thing I'm sure of is that there will be a lot of things I can do in my life, and so many will make people forget what I did today.

So, are you ready to choose? ”

Tian Xiuni was silent for a long time before he finally replied: "Why is Your Majesty so aggressive? It has been almost 15 years since Japan did not hear the sound of swordsmen, and it has been almost 40 years since the chaotic times of fathers, sons and brothers killing each other.

Yu is just an orphan daughter of the Toyotomi family who lives in the world, and she has not added the slightest favor to the Japanese people in her life, how can she put the people of the contemptuous state in the troubled times for the sake of the Toyotomi family's own selfishness, so that their fathers, sons and brothers can face each other in vain. Yu has been reciting Buddha since he was a child, how dare he do such a great evil thing.

In addition, although Yu is shallow, he also has good advice to advise His Majesty. Although Japan is small, it also has tens of millions of mouths, and the Mongolian army that came across the ocean in the past was also repelled by our country. Although the Ming Dynasty is strong, it may not be stronger than the Mengyuan in the past. Your Majesty, as a great tomorrow, should also know the truth that there is no danger in Germany. ”

Looking at this woman who tried to use Confucianism to persuade herself, Zhu Youzhen was also a little speechless. He thought for a long time, and suddenly looked at the flower arrangement on the low table and said: "The flower arrangement in this flower ** is good, but do you know what the main point of flower arrangement is?" ”

Tian Xiuni's thoughts were suddenly interrupted, and she hesitated for a while before replying to Chongzhen: "Yu is not good at flower arrangement, but in the past, Master Sen no Rikyu said that the quality of flower arrangement lies in anger, and anger comes from the spirit of flower arrangers, and it has nothing to do with the quality of flower equipment. ”

Chongzhen, who originally just wanted to make a break and then continue to persuade Tianxiuni, nodded when he heard this, and suddenly he felt a little excited in his heart. In his plan, Toyotomi Chiyohime's role is not irreplaceable, and since the other party's attitude is so resolute, he has no interest in continuing to bully such a woman.

Zhu Youzhen played with the tea bowl in his hand for a long time, and finally raised a sip to drink the tea soup, and then made up his mind and said: "Since this is the case, then you can live here with peace of mind in the future, and the scenery here will not be worse than Dongqing Temple." ”

Tian Xiuni did not immediately respond to Chongzhen's kindness, she hesitated for a moment before asking softly, "What about Japan?" What does the future hold for Japan? ”

Zhu Youzhen looked up at the vague scenery outside, and thought for a long time before saying: "Maybe it will become hell, since there is no Toyotomi clan to clean up the mess after the war, then this war will only uproot the Tokugawa clan." Otherwise, the fallen daimyo in Japan will not be at ease, and neither will I. ”

Tian Xiuni's eyelids jumped, and she asked strangely, "Why is Your Majesty so sure that he will be able to defeat the Shogunate and uproot the Shogunate?" ”

Zhu Youzhen's gaze shifted to her, twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "You guessed wrong, it's not that I defeated the shogunate, but that the Tokugawa clan erected too many enemies and buried myself." This kind of militaristic thing has not disturbed the master's cultivation, and you still don't know what to do. ”

Seeing that Zhu Youzhen was about to get up, Tian Xiu Ni hurriedly said: "Why is Your Majesty so resentful of Japan, you have to die in Japan and then quickly." The state is just a small country isolated overseas, with barren properties and many earthquakes and volcanoes, which is the difference between a rich man and a beggar compared to the Ming Dynasty. How can there be a rich man in this world who carries Wanguan furniture to rob beggars, and there is no benefit in winning the Ming Dynasty. ”

Zhu Youzhen stopped getting up, looked at Tianxiu Ni with both eyes, and said in a righteous manner: "As the son of the Great Tomorrow, I am the patriarch of Zhuxia, and I have the responsibility of maintaining the spread of Chinese civilization to the four directions.

Teaching Japan a lesson, not to let the Ming Dynasty get any benefits, but to prevent Japan from rejecting the influence of Chinese civilization in the way of closing itself off from the country, so as to return to the state of barbarianism.

Or, do you think that Japan has broken away from the sequence of Chinese civilization and really considers itself a member of the barbarians? As for me personally, I don't have any ill feelings towards Japan in this era. On the contrary, I was still a little interested in Japanese culture and history.

For example, your Oda Nobunaga, I think it's good, and being able to fight a battle like Barrel Sasama can be regarded as a masterpiece of a generation. Fifty years on earth is nothing more than a small thing compared to the sky. Looking at the world, dreams are like water. Let life be for a while, and then perish. The characters who sing such sentences are really worth seeing.

And Miss Chiyohime's grandfather, who started as a merchant and has been in the position of a Japanese man, is a figure worthy of respect no matter where he is. So, I don't have any grudges against Japan. ”

Chongzhen's changeable attitude made Tianxiuni's mind a little confused, and she said a little weakly after a long time: "When did the shogunate issue a decree to close the country?" Has Your Majesty been deceived? Even if the shogunate issued such an edict, it does not mean that Japan has become a member of the barbarians. ”

Zhu Youzhen tilted his head, suddenly smiled and said: "The Buddha said: Everything has a way, like a dream bubble, like dew and electricity, and it should be viewed as such." Why should Miss Chiyohime bother with these mundane affairs and ruin her pure heart. I think we'll end our conversation here. ”

Tian Xiuni bit his lip, and finally bowed his head to Chongzhen and said, "If Yu is willing to become the Toyotomi Chiyo that His Majesty wants, what difference will be made in the future of Japan?" ”

Zhu Youzhen straightened his body and said word by word: "It depends on how useful you and Japan are to Daming."

As I have just said, I have no grudges against Japan, and at the beginning of this new era, I only care about whether China's position can be maintained today, not about what the future holds for Japan.

The future of Japan will depend on your choices now, tomorrow, and in the future. ”

Tian Xiuni repeated with some confusion, "New era? ”

Looking at Tian Xiuni with a question mark on his face, Zhu Youzhen also realized that he seemed to have leaked his mouth, he stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, and replied vaguely: "As long as you calm down and observe, after a long time, you will naturally understand the meaning of what I said." ”

Tianxiu Niliang didn't move for a long time, and finally sighed, crossed his hands and slowly bowed to Chongzhen and said: "Concubine Toyotomi Chiyo to see His Majesty the Ming Emperor, I wish Your Majesty a long life." ”

Tian Xiuni changed his attitude so quickly, which made Zhu Youzhen a little surprised, and he couldn't help but ask again: "Have you really made up your mind?" This is a decision that cannot be reversed. ”

Toyotomi Chiyo's forehead pressed against the floor, and he replied clearly: "Although the concubine body is bent on purifying her cultivation, I have a Buddha cloud: I don't go to hell, who goes to hell."

When my Toyotomi family was the people of the world, they also enjoyed the worship of the people of the world, and when the people are in trouble today, how can the concubine be alone. ”

Zhu Youzhen's right hand gently patted his thigh, but he hesitated a little. All he needs is a puppet with Toyotomi blood, and Toyotomi Chiyo's personality seems to be a little stronger.

However, he quickly dispelled this concern, after all, she is just a woman, whether it is in Daming or Japan, no matter how good a woman is, it is difficult for her to get ahead, not to mention that it is difficult for her to go back to Japan.

Zhu Youzhen clapped his hands suddenly, Lu Qi, who was guarding the door, suddenly walked in, Chongzhen took a map from his hand and spread it out on the low table in front of him, and then said to Tianxiuni: "Since you are willing to cooperate with Daming, then prove your sincerity first."

I have heard that the Toyotomi family was in control of the mining of gold mines in Japan at that time, and I think you have always heard of the location of these gold mines, so I would like to ask you to mark the address, and it would be better if you could indicate the annual production of gold mines. ”

When Zhu Youzhen spoke, Lu Qi had already taken the polished pen and ink from the outside and put it in front of Toyotomi Chiyohime.

Toyotomi Chiyo looked at the map of the Japanese archipelago in front of him and couldn't help but be a little frightened. Although there are still large blank spaces in the inland part, the coastline of the Japanese archipelago is roughly delineated, and in some places it is even more detailed than the maps collected by the shogunate.

She stared at the map for a moment, then finally picked up a brush and filled it in. After about a quarter of an hour, Toyotomi Chiyo finally put down the brush and said to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, these seven or eight gold mountains are the names that the concubine still remembers, but they are old, and the concubine does not know how much gold they still have.

This is the only place on the island, where not only gold but also silver are produced, and it is still one of the financial resources of the shogunate, and it is the gold mountain that produces the most gold under the shogunate's name. It is said that every year there is no less than 100 koshi of gold and no less than 10,000 koshi of silver..."

After leaving Juxiangtai, Zhu Youzhen handed over the Japanese Jinshan map in his hand to Lu Qi on the side, and instructed: "Make a few more copies, and in addition, find a place with elegant scenery in Tianjin, and build a high-rise building for me, the name will be Chunfan Tower..."
