By the next morning, the situation in Kyoto was gradually calming down. But at this time, Kyoto was already unrecognizable, the city was full of corpses, the entire outer capital and most of the left capital were almost in ruins under the fire, and even the right capital was damaged to varying degrees.

The situation in the Kyoto Imperial Palace is even worse than in the castle, and there is no longer a single living mouth in the entire Imperial Palace. In the midst of this massacre, only Emperor Koko, who had already abdicated, escaped hiding in Hokkeji Temple.

Emperor Koko ascended the throne at the age of seven, and at the age of nineteen, he voluntarily abdicated to his half-brother, Prince Soenomiya, and became Emperor Taishang. After his abdication, Emperor Koko was bound by the law of etiquette and never married, living a reclusive life. This allowed her to escape the massacre that was deliberately targeted at the Emperor's family.

Hearing the news of the riots in Kyoto and the slaughter of the emperor's family, the whole of Toei was shocked.

"This ...... This...... Zhonggong Niangniang's courage is too great......" Zheng Zhilong said angrily.

"Nakanomiya Niangniang? What did the maiden of the palace do in the Kyoto riots? Qian Qianyi asked in surprise. Very few people know Wang Sai'er's identity, except for a few people in the Zheng family, the others are not clear.

"Emperor Gomizuo's middle palace is not from the Toei, but from the Ming Dynasty......" Zheng Zhilong stopped in the middle of speaking.

Seeing Zheng Zhilong's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Qian Qianyi understood a little, and he couldn't help asking: "Could it be that Prince Ryohito is really not born to Emperor Gomizuo?" ”

"This matter is a long story, involving the two royal families of Daming and Dongying, in fact, the last time the Ming Navy arrived in Kyushu, it was not for me, but for the middle palace Niangniang."

"Lord Wang, be cautious!" Qian Qianyi dissuaded softly, "According to the news from Kyoto, according to the minister's speculation, the matter in Kyoto is not only the meaning of the middle palace mother, but also the Ming Dynasty should also be involved. Hearing Zheng Zhilong's words, he probably understood everything.

"Not should, yes." Zheng Zhilong said angrily, "The riot in Kyoto can't be done at all with the strength of the middle palace lady in Dongying. ”

"Lord, now is not the time to discuss the responsibility for this matter, the riots in Kyoto have caused the hearts of the people of Toei to fall to the shogunate again, and we must quickly come up with corresponding countermeasures before the situation deteriorates further." Qian Qianyi said.

"Now there are ten rooms and nine empty rooms in Kyoto City, and the people are dying and fleeing, and they are all in chaos. Especially in the past few days, people from all over the east have come to worship the emperor's family, and our army and the army of the Kishu domain are in a decisive battle, and the two sides may not be able to distinguish the victory or defeat for a while, so please ask Mr. for this matter. Zheng Zhilong said.

"Lord, the riots in Kyoto have happened, all we can do now is to deal with the aftermath, as for who did it, whether others believe it or not, we have to push it on the shogunate."

"Of course, I will also send someone to deal with this matter." Zheng Zhilong nodded.

"Second, send someone to protect Emperor Koko, and never let Emperor Koko have another accident."

"I have already done this, and General Liu, who is stationed in Kyoto, has already protected Emperor Xingzi closely."

"Third, persuade to advance and let Prince Liangren ascend the throne."

"But ......" Zheng Zhilong is now dissatisfied with Wang Sai'er's creation of the Kyoto riots, although Liangren's accession to the throne has been irreversible, he also wants to delay it and teach Wang Sai'er a lesson.

"Lord, the country cannot be without a king for a day, only when Liangren ascends the throne can the anger of the people in the country be gradually calmed down, and only then can the Ming Dynasty be satisfied."

"You can do this, I have other things to do."

"No. But on the day of Prince Ryohito's accession to the throne, the prince must attend. ”

"I'll be there." Zheng Zhilong nodded.

"Also, through the riots in Kyoto, the minister suspected that there were a large number of spies lurking in the army."

"Our army is formed with the retired soldiers of the Ming Dynasty as the team, and there are a large number of Ming spies in the army, there is no need to doubt it at all, but there must be, in the past few years, I have been gradually replacing the team of the original Ming army with Dongying soldiers, but I don't know who is a spy and who is not a spy?"

"Lord Wang, this matter can only be done slowly, and you must not be in a hurry, first, to avoid shaking the morale of the army; Second, you can't make enemies with the Ming now. ”

"After the Dongying is pacified, I will find an excuse to gradually replace the officers in the army."

"Prince, if possible, it is best for the prince to marry Emperor Xingzi." Qian Qianyi said softly.

"Marry Emperor Koko?!" Zheng Zhilong said in surprise.

"Yes, the pros definitely outweigh the disadvantages." Qian Qianyi said with certainty.

"I'll think about it." Zheng Zhilong thought for a while and said.

"Lord ......"

"The navy of the Ming Dynasty has been cruising around Dongying for several years, if there is any disturbance in Dongying, it is difficult to guarantee that the Ming Dynasty will not interfere in the affairs of Dongying, if the Ming Dynasty once interferes in the affairs of Dongying, our army will not be able to compete with it at all, then everything we have done for so many years will be in vain."

"This matter is in a hurry, and it seems that this matter needs to be considered in the long run." Qian Qianyi nodded.

……

When Wang Sai'er heard that Emperor Xingzi had escaped, he was also extremely angry in his heart at this time.

"Wang Zhangban, get up." Wang Sai'er said with anger held back.

"Xie Niangniang!" Wang Zhangban said tremblingly.

"Since Xingzi is not dead, what do you think should be done next?" Wang Sai'er said coldly.

"Emperor Koko escaped, and now he is closely protected by the King of Kyushu, and it is impossible to assassinate him again, and now he has to think of another way."

"Is there any way to do it?"

"The minister thinks that he can directly ask the king of Kyushu to ask for Emperor Xingzi."

"In this situation, how can the King of Kyushu be willing to hand it over to me?"

"Niangniang, the minister thinks that Emperor Xingzi can be sent to Daming for protection."

"It's really feasible, you immediately go and contact the Ming navy to welcome Emperor Xingzi, only when the Ming navy comes, Zheng Zhilong will hand over Xingzi, and let the king of Kyushu come to see me." Wang Sai'er thought for a while and nodded.

"No."

……

Zheng Zhilong made an excuse not to come, he didn't want to see Wang Sai'er at the moment. But Qian Qianyi came, and Qian Qianyi just wanted to communicate with Wang Sai'er about Liangren's accession to the throne.

Let Liangren ascend the throne, Wang Sai'er must be in favor of it, everything she did was to let Liangren ascend the throne. And Wang Sai'er wanted to send Emperor Xingzi to Daming, but he did not get a reply from Qian Qianyi.

"This is what Your Majesty means, the Ming Navy will soon arrive in Kyoto to welcome Emperor Koko to the Ming Dynasty. Could it be that the king of Kyushu wants to resist the decree? Or did the king of Kyushu himself want to marry Emperor Koko? Wang Sai'er said coldly.

"I can't make the decision on this matter, and the prince has to decide for himself." Qian Qianyi said.

"Emperor Gomizuo can live for half a year at most, and when the time comes, in this world, the emperor will only have two people, Xingzi and Yoshihito, if the king of Kyushu wants to bully orphans and widows such as us, we will naturally not be able to resist, but someone will make the decision for us."

"Niangniang misunderstood, this matter really has to be decided by the prince."

"Okay, then I'll wait for your news, I hope to give me an answer before the arrival of the Ming Navy."
