The early seventeenth century, the most famous period of the Xiaoice River in history, entered October, the weather was already very cold, heavy snow, north wind raging, but the sea was still navigable, until November, the offshore waters were officially frozen.

In order to formally sign a peace treaty with the Far Eastern Kingdom before the end of this year, Tokugawa Iemitsu officially ordered Tokugawa Iemitsu to accompany the young Emperor Meisho to deliver his credentials to Ezo Island in order to formally sign a peace treaty with the Far Eastern Kingdom before the end of this year.

At that time, Emperor Meisho was only seven years old, and she succeeded her father, Emperor Gomizuo, who had abdicated the throne in anger, and she was also the granddaughter of the second shogun, Tokugawa Hidetada, the cousin of Tokugawa Iemitsu, and the seventh of the eight female emperors in Japanese history.

The emperors of the shogunate era had no real power, which was a symbol, and the seven-year-old Emperor Akisho had even less power, because she was young, she was still faintly excited to leave the forbidden palace and go to Ezo Island this time.

In her honorable position as emperor, there were as many as ten ships escorting her north, but when she reached the Karutsu Strait, she was brutally stopped by the patrol fleet of the Far Eastern Kingdom Navy.

"Any ships capable of attacking are forbidden to enter our waters, and only the ships of your emperor are allowed to enter, and the rest of the ships will return immediately, otherwise our army will sink you all."

On a communication boat, an interpreter boarded a large ship led by the Japanese fleet, and as if a high official was giving orders to his subordinates, he stood upright and spoke in a dignified tone.

This big ship was Emperor Mingzheng's car, and when she saw that the man was just a small soldier, she dared to be so rude to her, so she said loudly: "Bold, you are a small soldier, you dare to be so rude in front of me, come and take him down and punish him." ”

The emperor is a child who doesn't know the depths, and everyone else knows that this time the north to Ezo Island is a surrender table, to the powerful Far Eastern Kingdom, although this little soldier is small, but he is a soldier of the Far Eastern Kingdom, no one present dares to take him, and the scene is suddenly limited to an embarrassing situation.

"Ahem!" In the end, it was Sakai Tadashi, the de facto boss, who coughed twice and came out of the round: "Wait, Your Majesty, he is not from his own country, we have no right to take it, let's do what he said, let the other escort ships return!" They will keep your majesty safe. ”

The emperor was small, but he was not stupid, and when she saw that no one was following her orders, even Sakai Tadashi, the elder of the family, had to obey the orders of others, she turned around and replied, "All right! According to Sakai-sama, quasi-play! ”

This kind of unexpected situation would not have appeared if the emperor had real power, because she would definitely know that Japan had been defeated and inferior in strength, and had to follow the rules of others.

But Emperor Mingzheng is actually no different from a prisoner, locked in the forbidden palace, ignorant of information from the outside world, she is still the emperor who is high up in the forbidden palace and gives orders to his subordinates, this little soldier is so rude, of course she is angry.

Although this trivial matter has passed, the emperor's car is still heading north under the protection of the navy of the Far Eastern Kingdom, but Sakai Tadashi suddenly wakes up, the emperor is like this, it is not okay to meet His Majesty the king of the Far Eastern Kingdom! If you make that big guy unhappy, Japan will be unlucky.

So on the way north, Sakai Tadashi ordered everyone: "You all retreat, the old minister has something to discuss with Your Majesty." ”

"Hey!" Sakai Tadashi was the first person under the Tokugawa family, and everyone obeyed, bowing in unison and then retreating out of the cabin.

"Your Majesty, to tell you the truth, my country was at war with the Far Eastern Kingdom some time ago, but was defeated, Your Majesty went to Zalawan this time, saying that it was a letter of surrender, but in fact, it was a surrender table, we are a defeated country, and from now on, we must obey the Far Eastern Kingdom.

Your Majesty is going to Sapporo, you must meet His Majesty the King of the Far Eastern Kingdom as a courtier, and he will also confer on you the title of Emperor of Japan, which has long been negotiated between the two countries, and there is no room for change, and the old minister is willing to ask His Majesty to take the overall situation first, and bear the burden of humiliation for the time being, and when meeting him, his attitude must be respectful, because he is a powerful king, and my country cannot stand his thunderous anger. Without outsiders present, Sakai Tadashi dared to tell the truth, and he was not afraid of disobeying the emperor and provoking his anger.

Emperor Mingzheng didn't know the truth, so he dared to be angry with that little soldier, because no matter how she said, she was also a high-ranking emperor, but she really knew, even the real power figure Tokugawa Iemitsu was willing to admit defeat, then she naturally would not be able to provoke and oppose it again, plus she was a child, not long after becoming the emperor, the emperor's authority has not yet penetrated into the bone marrow, it doesn't matter if she is called the emperor or not, wasn't she called Prince Xingzinai before? It's really up to her what it's called.

"Sakai-sama, I am all up to you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding, a weak country has no diplomacy!"

Ezo Island is actually not big, and it will not take long to reach Sapporo after crossing the Kamatsu Strait, because there was a clipper in advance to inform the Far Eastern Kingdom that the government of the Far East Kingdom attaches great importance to the visit of the Japanese emperor, and there is already a military band playing the national anthem on the pier to welcome the guests.

Therefore, when the emperor landed, Li Huaixuan extended a warm welcome to her on behalf of the Far Eastern Kingdom and introduced the high-ranking government and military officials present one by one.

After some courtesy, Li Huaixuan praised Emperor Mingzheng and said: "His Majesty the Emperor is really talented and intelligent, and he is beautiful!" ”

“……”

He is a courtesy compliment, but it makes people on the Japanese side uncomfortable, because the Japanese emperor is a pure Han blood, and in order to ensure the purity of the imperial bloodline, it is forbidden to intermarry with Japanese people in the country.

Then there are no purebred Han Chinese in Japan, and they are basically hybrids, what should I do? Therefore, the Japanese royal family had to marry close relatives, for a long time, the result of close relatives marriage is that the royal family has few delicate people, all of them are hunched over, or grinning, anyway, they are all some rags, and they have nothing to do with showmanship, although Li Huaixuan is polite words, in fact, the Japanese are very embarrassed, it is difficult to answer, so they think they didn't hear it, and they messed around.

Li Huaixuan also knew that his unintentional words had embarrassed the Japanese, so he hurriedly made up the scene and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, please go to the royal car!" Our Majesty is waiting at the Palace. ”

It is indeed a royal car, this is a special carriage for the royal family of the Far Eastern Kingdom, not to mention the luxurious workmanship, there is a unique royal family emblem, as well as the bright yellow color for the royal family, which is different from ordinary carriages, it is a real royal car, in order to show grandeur, the government specially borrowed a ride from the royal palace, exclusively for Emperor Ming Zheng.

Of course, it can't be a soft-topped carriage, it has a canopy tassel, so that the people on the carriage can see the outside scenery, but the people outside can't see the true face of the nobles on the carriage, and there is a certain privacy.

Emperor Akimasa sat alone on the imperial car and looked at the beautiful scenery of Sapporo City's garden, and he was very happy, as if he were a tourist visiting the beautiful scenery.

When she arrived in the city, both sides of the road were full of strange people, pointing at her car and whispering.
