Looking at Tokugawa Tadanaga, who was slightly nervous, Chongzhen smiled and said, "Don't be nervous! Cao Huachun, give a seat! ”

"His Majesty Emperor Xie Daming!" Tokugawa Tadanaga said respectfully. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After seeing him sit down, Chongzhen said: "Originally, you led the troops to commit my Ming Frontier, and you should have been beheaded according to my Ming law!" ”

Tokugawa Tadacho couldn't help but shrink his neck and said, "His Majesty Emperor Xie Daming will not kill!" ”

Chongzhen waved his hand and continued: "But if you sincerely repent, and the people of your family are very sincere, I will exempt you from the death penalty and let you return to China, but do you think that if I let you go back, what will your brother do to you?" ”

Tokugawa Tadashi couldn't help but be stunned, looked at Chongzhen, didn't speak, just fell into silence, Chongzhen smiled, didn't care but said: "I'll tell you, there are two possibilities, the first is to let you continue to lead the troops, I think that the current Wa Kingdom is not too peaceful, this is your best situation; The second option is to go back to your own fiefdom, which may sound good and live a carefree life, but I don't think your brother's relationship with you is very good, right?! After Chongzhen finished speaking, he couldn't help but smile when he looked at Tokugawa Tadacho's increasingly suspicious expression, and continued: "In the above two cases, I think your brother will choose the second situation, after all, you have failed and have not achieved military achievements, and it is already the greatest mercy to you to be able to return to the fiefdom safely!" ”

"His Majesty the Emperor Shengming!" Tokugawa Tadanaga said respectfully.

Chongzhen waved his hand, then asked with a smile, "Is your father still healthy?" ”

Tokugawa Tadashi was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Emperor Chongzhen asked this, but he still said honestly: "Back to His Majesty the Emperor!" The father's upper body is quite tough! ”

"Oh?! Is it? That's good! Chongzhen said with a smile.

After a while, Cao Huachun came in with pastries and said with a smile: "Your Majesty! You're tired too, eat something! ”

"Not bad! My favorite pastry! Give him some to eat, too! Chongzhen said with a smile.

Tokugawa was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Thank you for the gift of Your Majesty the Emperor!" ”

"Taste it! When I go back, I won't be able to eat my Daming's food! Chongzhen said enthusiastically.

Tokugawa Tadashi thanked him, saluted and ate, the food was delicious, but because he was preoccupied, he couldn't eat the delicious taste, but he ate a little numbly, looking at his appearance, Chongzhen shook his head and said, "Cao Huachun, get him some tea!" ”

Tokugawa Tadanaga looked at the steaming tea in front of him, and had an indescribable feeling in his heart, but he still didn't forget to thank him and said, "Your Majesty Emperor Xie Daming!" ”

"Focus on eating when you're eating! You can't eat the essence of it! Chongzhen said with a smile, then pointed to the sunshine outside the door and said, "Look! How nice the weather is for you! ”

Tokugawa Tadashi sighed and said: "I think that His Majesty the Emperor will not be idle and invite the grass people to eat and chat, if His Majesty the Emperor has any orders, just say it, the grass people will definitely do it!" ”

"Oh?! What do I command?! Chongzhen smiled and waved his hand: "I don't have any orders, as for whether I want to tell you what to do, it depends on what you want!" ”

"What do grass folks want?!" Tokugawa Tadanaga was stunned.

"That's right! What do you want for yourself? For example, power, wealth, or a combination of the two, called a shogun! Chongzhen said with a smile.

Tokugawa Tadacho's eyes lit up when he heard the shogun, but then they quickly dimmed, and with a sigh, Chongzhen saw his expression in his eyes and said with a smile: "Did your brother send you this time or did you come voluntarily?" ”

Tokugawa Tadashi said, "My father fought for me!" ”

"So it's not your will?!" Chongzhen asked with a smile.

"Back to His Majesty the Emperor, I can't completely say that, the grass people still want to make some military exploits!" Tokugawa Tadashi said.

"Since you just want to live in the fiefdom with peace of mind, what do you want to do with this feat?" Chongzhen asked with a smile.

"Back to Your Majesty, this 。。。。。。" Tokugawa Tadanaga didn't know what to say.

"Does it mean that you still have a desire for this shogun? Or do you have something else in mind? Chongzhen continued to ask.

"Your Majesty, the grass people have made war exploits for self-preservation! With merit and prestige, more samurai will follow me! Tokugawa Tadashi said.

"If that's the case, aren't you even more worry-free for your brother?" Chongzhen said with a smile.

"Back to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, if there is no these, the situation of the grass people will be even more dangerous!" Tokugawa Tadanaga couldn't help but understand, and then said, "It may be better if my father is still alive, if 。。。。。。 Tokugawa Tadanaga didn't continue.

Chongzhen saw that he had already told him about his situation, so he smiled and said, "Then do you understand why I summoned you today?" ”

Tokugawa Tadacho's eyes couldn't help but light up and said, "Could it be that Your Majesty wants to help the grass people kill 。。。。。。 ”

"I didn't say that, the final result is up to your own decision, I just can keep you alive!" Chongzhen said with a smile.

"Your Majesty Emperor Xie! Your great kindness and virtue will never be forgotten! Tokugawa Tadanaga kowtowed gratefully.

"It's useless for me to ask you for this verbal gratitude!" Chongzhen said with a smile.

"Whatever His Majesty the Emperor wants, as long as the grass people have it, it will definitely be given to His Majesty!" Tokugawa Tadanaga kowtowed.

"I want you, you can't afford it now! Flatten! Chongzhen said with a smile, "But you don't have much time, take advantage of your father's years of being steady!" Chongzhen continued.

"Please also ask His Majesty the Emperor to show the way!" Tokugawa Tadanaga said respectfully.

"Have you ever heard the story of lying down and tasting guts?" Chongzhen asked with a smile.

"His Majesty the Emperor means that the grass people should be forbearing?!" Tokugawa asked.

"You can say the same thing! Keep it low-key! It's okay to make your brother feel like you're not a threat to him! Chongzhen said with a smile.

"The grass people are stupid! Please also ask the emperor to explain in detail! Tokugawa Tadanaga smiled bitterly.

"Alas! On the surface, you are doing nothing all day long in the fiefdom, you can get drunk and dream of death every day, etc., but secretly you want to develop your own power! Chongzhen said bitterly.

"But that fiefdom is full of his people, and it's probably not easy to hide it!" Tokugawa Tadanaga said with a wry smile.

"You don't have to worry about that! I'll fix it for you! As for other military supplies, I can also provide you with them, and even send troops to help you when necessary, of course, this money will have to be paid by you! Chongzhen said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, rest assured! No problem with this! As long as you can survive, Your Majesty the Emperor will not say that you want silver, as long as the grass people have it, you will definitely give it to Your Majesty! Tokugawa Tadashi said.

"That's for now, and then it's up to you to make a decision based on your performance in Japan! Don't let me down! Chongzhen smiled and patted Tokugawa Tadanaga on the shoulder.

Tokugawa Tadanaga looked at Chongzhen's encouraging eyes, nodded firmly, and seeing that he seemed to regain his vitality, Chongzhen smiled and said, "Okay! Go down, someone will contact you later, and you can go back to Japan with peace of mind! I think you will definitely be sent back to the fiefdom this time, and you have to remember that this is your only chance! ”

"Caomin thank the Emperor for his teachings! Great kindness! Never forget! Tokugawa Tadanaga said gratefully.

Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand, Tokugawa Tadashi retreated under Cao Huachun's arrangement, and when they were all gone, Chongzhen suddenly said: "Send some people to secretly protect him, so that there can be no accidents, and in addition, monitor his actions, and don't let go of every move!" ”

"Humble command!" A respectful voice came from the darkness.

Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction, sat back on the dragon chair, and couldn't help but say, "I hope everything can go well!" That's all for now! ”

After a while, Cao Huachun came back, but he didn't come back alone, he also brought someone, it turned out to be Tian Hongyu, I saw Tian Hongyu kowtow respectfully and said: "Weichen Tian Hongyu see Your Majesty!" Banzai! Banzai! Hooray! ”

"Guozhang is flat! Cao Huachun, give a seat! Chongzhen smiled and raised his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Tian Hongyu stood up respectfully.

"I haven't seen the country for a while, and it seems that this day is very nourishing!" Looking at Tian Hongyu, who was full of red light, Chongzhen said with a smile.

"Whatever Your Majesty says, this is all a great blessing that has dragged Your Majesty, otherwise the minister may not even be able to eat now!" Tian Hongyu said respectfully.

"That's it! You don't have to talk about this, I see that you have made this auction impressive, yes, it turned out that you just asked you to make the auction of those prisoners of war a gimmick, I didn't expect it to be so big, interesting! I'm not wrong! Chongzhen said with a smile.

"What did Your Majesty say, it was all thanks to Your Majesty's guidance that Wei Chen thought of it, and Wei Chen came here today for this matter!" Tian Hongyu said respectfully.

"Oh?! What's the matter, what are the difficulties? Could it be that there are officials who embarrass you? Chongzhen said with a smile.

"Who would come to trouble without opening their eyes, but Wei Chen took a look, this auction lacks the finale of the object, so he came to find His Majesty! After all, this group belongs to Your Majesty! Tian Hongyu said with a smile.

"it!" Chongzhen scolded with a smile in his heart, and then said, "Okay!" Now there's something to talk about, let me hear it! ”

Tian Hongyu was suddenly embarrassed and said: "This is some of the antique calligraphy and paintings collected by some ministers in Jiangnan, none of them are famous, there are some weapons, and there is a top brand invited by Jiangnan named Li Yin, and now those people are mainly attracted by her, and there are those prisoners of war!" ”

Chongzhen couldn't help but sit on the dragon chair and put his hand on his forehead and said, "Just like that, you're embarrassed to hold this auction?" When the time comes, smash the group's signboard! ”

"So didn't you come to discuss with Your Majesty?" Tian Hongyu said with a smile.

Chongzhen really wanted to kill him directly, could he not find something good with him like this, but thinking that he was the boss of the group, he couldn't say anything if he didn't come up with something, and the main boss was still himself, so he thought about it and said, "That's it!" Tell me what kind of things can make a difference! ”

Tian Hongyu thought for a while and said: "One or two famous calligraphy and paintings, as well as precious antiques, are fine!" ”

Chongzhen nodded: "Cao Huachun!" You go to the inner house and find three pieces! ”
