Chapter 679: Masako
A Shijing looked left and right, and muttered: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the minister thinks that Cheng Yue is a person who is eloquent but introverted, and there must be a big plan this time!" ”
Emperor Guishan nodded and said, "Of course, what Cheng Yue wants to do must be a big thing, I just don't know what his ultimate goal is." ”
Without waiting for Ichijo Shijing to speak, Nijo Yoshimi couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, the Mongols are known for their ferocity, and they slaughter cities at every turn against those who resist them. Three years ago, in the Battle of Wenyong, the Mongols were defeated and lost, and according to their habits, this time they would definitely wash Japan in blood. However, under the order of Cheng Yue, since the Mongols landed, they have not raised a butcher's knife and attacked Kyoto, nor have they harassed the people, which can be called a fortunate thing. Moreover, Cheng Yue's command also has Xin Du and others who raped and plundered last time, which is even more rare. It can be seen from this that to what extent Cheng Yue's strength and prestige are strong, I am afraid that only Kublai Khan can compare with him. The so-called two heroes do not stand together, and the two will not last long, and what Cheng Yue is trying to do is probably like this. ”
Nijo is resourceful and decisive, and no one can speak in the court, and as soon as the voice fell, everyone nodded yes.
During the Battle of Wenyong three years ago, Xin Du indulged his subordinates to kill people and set fires, arbitrary **** women, and the Goryeo Army also tied the captured people with bamboo sticks or thin iron chains, which was extremely cruel and made the hatred of the Japanese unforgettable.
After the Mongols left, Hakata was completely destroyed, and countless men and women were killed and wounded, so the whole of Japan was more able to share the same hatred for the resistance to the Mongols.
Cheng Yue attacked Japan but did the opposite, often giving relief to the poor along the way, and there was no crime in the autumn, coupled with the almost blind worship of the Great Song Dynasty by the whole country of Japan. As a result, he encountered far less resistance than the Mongols on his way to Kyoto. The number of people fleeing along the route was not as large as expected.
Minoru Dongin said: "What Nijo-sama has seen is extremely true. The minister also thought so. ”
Emperor Kameyama said, "Lord Cave seems to have made up his mind. ”
Dongyuan Minoru said: "Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor. The minister had indeed made up his mind to make a decision just now, and wanted to ask His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Emperor to grant permission. ”
Emperor Hou Shencao was stunned: "Is it related to us?" ”
Dongyuan Minoru smiled: "Do the two Majesties remember the little girl Jizi?" ”
Emperor Guishan's eyes lit up and said, "Ji Zi is twelve years old today, right?" It's really more and more beautiful as she grows up, the last time I saw her, I thought she could get married, why, Lord Dongyuan has the heart to marry Ji Zi to Cheng Yue? ”
Dongyuan Minoru laughed and said, "Exactly." If Ji Zi can marry Cheng Yue. Even if they don't have too high a reputation, the two Majesties have become Cheng Yue's relatives, and in the eyes of the old minister, it is really a great benefit. ”
Emperor Hou Shencao clapped his hands and smiled: "Okay! That's a great idea! ”
The Emperor Kameyama also nodded with a smile on his face, and the ministers naturally had no objections.
The cave is really majestic!
Ying Si Jian Ping said: "In this case, why don't I find an opportunity to mention it to Cheng Yue?" ”
Dongyuan Minoru smiled: "Okay, there is Lord Lao Yingsi." ”
Nijo Yoshimi suddenly said: "I remember that the newspaper of the Great Song Dynasty said that Cheng Yue never married a girl under the age of sixteen. ”
Dongyuan Minoru smiled: "You don't have to marry right away, as long as you set a family affair, maybe it's better." ”
Emperor Kameyama smiled, "Indeed. The longer the season grows, the more beautiful it is, the more itchy Cheng will be. It will get better and better for the cave house. ”
The ministers laughed. It is really cost-effective to exchange a beauty for Cheng Yue's kindness with Jizi.
Ying Si Jian Ping said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, although Cheng Yue clearly refused, the minister thought that it was better to send someone to follow from afar, so as not to be affected in the palace once something happened." ”
The Emperor of Kameyama said: "It makes sense, I think so too." ”
Eagle Division Kanehira immediately said: "The minister is willing to take on this important responsibility. ”
Emperor Kameyama could see that Eagle Division Kanpei wanted to take the opportunity to get close to Cheng Yue, but this was a good thing, so he agreed and said: "The samurai in the palace are at the disposal of Lord Guan Bai, and everything is about Cheng Yue's safety." ”
Eagle Division Kanpei said solemnly: "Yes, the minister will not disgrace his mission." ”
Emperor Hou Shencao raised his eyebrows, but did not speak.
Cheng Yue returned to the Qingliang Palace, and a hundred beauties came up to greet him again, their faces full of anticipation, and they all wanted to be accepted into the room by Cheng Yue as soon as possible.
Cheng Yue smiled: "I want to walk around Kyoto tomorrow, do you want to go?" ”
The beauties are overjoyed, and they have the opportunity to accompany Cheng Yue to go out for a walk, what a rare opportunity, why not go? They all nodded to go.
Cheng Yue smiled: "Okay, we'll leave tomorrow morning, whatever you want to buy is mine, you don't have to save money for me." ”
A beautiful woman in front of the queue boldly asked, "Where is the prince going?" I am very familiar with Kyoto, and I would like to be a guide for the prince. ”
Cheng Yue saw that she was more delicate and cute than other beauties, and said with a smile: "Okay, what's your name?" ”
The beauty was so excited that she hurriedly climbed to Cheng Yue's feet, knelt down and said, "The concubine's name is Masako, and the family is the Hojo clan." ”
Cheng Yue was slightly taken aback and said, "Hojo clan? ”
Masako hurriedly said: "Yes, has the prince heard of the name Hojo Tokisuke?" ”
Cheng Yue said: "You know, what is his relationship with you?" ”
Masako said: "Hojo Tokisuke is the elder brother of the concubine, and after his brother was killed by Hojo Tokimune in the southern Rokubora Mansion, the concubine was sent to the palace. His Majesty the Emperor was not favored because he was a concubine from the Hojo clan. ”
Cheng Yue said with interest: "You are the sister of Hojo Tokisuke, were you present in the civil war of the Hojo clan back then?" ”
Masako said: "The concubine was not present, the concubine was worshipping the Buddha in the Phoenix Hall of the Equality Courtyard at the time, and it was too late after learning the bad news." ”
(Note: Byodoin Phoenix Hall is one of Kyoto's most famous places and represents the highest architectural achievement of Japan's Heian period, and it is still on Japanese banknotes and coins.)
Cheng Yue nodded and said, "Do you hate Hojo Shizong?" ”
Masako gritted her teeth and said: "My brother was not guilty and was sentenced, and Hojo Shizong had no flesh and blood affection, and the concubine was not convinced." ”
Cheng Yue sighed: "Yes, I don't accept it either, Hojo Shizong has gone too far." ”
Masako said: "If the prince does not come to Japan, the brother's great revenge will never be avenged, and the concubine's gratitude to the prince is indescribable." ”
Cheng Yue smiled: "I'm not here to avenge you, I don't dare to take credit." If you have to appreciate it, just be my guide tomorrow. ”
Masako was so moved that she couldn't stop whimpering, and said, "The concubine obeys her orders, and she will repay the prince with this life." ”
Cheng Yue said with a smile: "It will take a few days to get the exact news, and it will be too late for you to thank me then." ”
Masako said: "The concubine believes that the prince will win!" ”
Cheng Yue smiled: "That's right, I never fight a battle that I am not sure of." (To be continued.) )
