The four men of the Hojo family chatted while drinking, and the time was approaching and the wine was about to run out. Hojo Tokimune shook the flask vigorously, poured the last drop of wine into his throat, clapped his hands and laughed, "Good wine!" Turning to Cheng Yue, he raised the wine jug and said, "It's a pity that I can't drink with you!" ”

Cheng Yue smiled: "Who said that?" Come, I salute you! As soon as he stretched out his hand, he magically pulled out a small pot of sake from behind him, raised his head and drank it all!

Hojo Tokimune and the other four clapped in unison!

Although the Japanese monarchs and ministers hated the Hojo clan to the core, they couldn't help but be infected by their pride, and many people applauded together!

Hojo Tokimune looked up to the sky and laughed: "Happy, happy!" His Royal Highness the King of Zhennan, I will convince you of defeat! ”

Cheng Yue said with a smile: "On Huangquan Road, wait a few more years, and then we will drink together!" ”

Hojo Shizong's eyes looked directly at Cheng Yue, and he said word by word: "A word is a certainty!" ”

Cheng Yue laughed and said: "It's just a drink, why are you so serious, are you afraid that I won't pay for wine?" ”

The hall burst into laughter, and Hojo Tokimune laughed until he rolled over and fell to the ground, slamming his fist on the ground. He could never have imagined that when he was dying, he could be so happy!

The laughter gradually stopped, and Bu Mu said: "Lord, the time has come." ”

Cheng Yue smiled and nodded, Hojo Shizong's face became serious, and he kowtowed: "His Royal Highness the King of Zhennan, I have a request." ”

Cheng Yue said: "Please speak." ”

Hojo Tokimune said: "I want to have His Royal Highness King Lao Zhennan as my intermediary." ”

Cheng Yue was a little surprised, and said, "Oh? Do you believe me? ”

When the samurai in Japan cut their abdomen, the person who intersected the abdomen was a person who was very trusted and close to the person who disemboweled, and ordinary relationships were not possible.

Hojo Shizong said: "I don't dare to say that I sympathize with His Highness, but I absolutely believe in His Highness's character and martial arts!" ”

Cheng Yue hesitated: "I haven't done it before, I'm afraid I have a negative trust." ”

Hojo Tokimune smiled: "Your Highness is worried that you won't be able to cut off my head with a single sword?" ”

Cheng Yue nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Hojo Tokimune said proudly: "Your Highness, rest assured, the sword I handed over to Your Highness is a treasure of Genji, called 'Onimaru', anyone can easily cut off a head as long as they are strong enough!" ”

Hojo Somasa also smiled and said: "Don't bother the second lord, His Royal Highness the King of Zhennan, my great head, please cut it off with Your Highness." ”

Hojo Tokimune added: "Your Highness, the name of Somasa's sword is 'Onikiri', which is also a treasure of Genji, extremely sharp and fastidious. After His Royal Highness used them, the minister gave these two knives to His Highness, hoping that His Highness could help His Highness when he conquered the north and south in the future. ”

(Onimaru and Onkiri are real swords in history, passed down from generation to generation by Genji, after Genji was exterminated by the Hojo clan, it fell into the hands of the Hojo clan, and after the death of the Hojo clan, it returned to Genji)

Donar, who was standing beside him, said: "Lord, Hojo Somasa's knife is indeed a treasure knife, and when he blocked his knife under Hakata Bay, the blade was damaged. "Dornar was holding the saber given to him by Cheng Yue at that time, which was the best of the sabers. Cheng Yue became interested when he heard it.

Mrs. Xu finally seized the opportunity to speak, stepped forward and said, "Lord Wang, the double swords of the concubine's body are ancient treasures, and they don't take much advantage of the knife of Hojo Somasa. ”

Ku Toulon also said: "Lord, I originally wanted to wait for Hojo Somasa to ask the prince for his knife after his death, that knife is indeed a good knife, and my stick can block it." ”

Cheng Yue became more curious when he heard this, and said decisively: "Okay, Hojo Tokizong, Hojo Somasa, I promise to be your mischief!" ”

Hojo Tokimura knelt down in front of Angier and said, "Lord Angier, I was defeated by my lord at Sakaguchi of Kek Lok Temple, and I should have died a long time ago, I hope your lord can give me a ride." ”

Angel immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll send you on your way." ”

Hojo Tokimura smiled, "Thank you, Lord Angier. ”

Hojo Shikuya also moved to Zhang Rongshi's eyes and said respectfully: "I was captured by Zhang Dasheng, is Zhang Dasheng willing to work hard again?" ”

Zhang Rongshi smiled: "Why not? ”

Hojo Tokihiro kowtowed and said, "I am very grateful to have Lord Laozhang." ”

Cheng Yue, Angier, and Zhang Rongshi stood up, and Hojo Tokimune, Hojo Somasa, Hojo Tokimura and Hojo Tokiko also stood up together and bowed to the surroundings one by one, Hojo Tokimune and Hojo Somasa also kissed their respective children on the face a few times, and then hardened their hearts and strode towards the outside of the hall.

Ryoko, Zhuzi and Fangzi cried and were about to follow out of the hall, but Cheng Yue caught up with them, stretched out his hand to stop them, blocked Ryoko and said, "Don't go, take the child to the back to rest." ”

Ryoko grabbed Cheng Yue's arm and begged bitterly, "Your Highness, let me take another look at them." ”

Cheng Yue's face was as pale as ice, and he said, "They won't want you to go." ”

Ryoko was so sad that she suddenly opened her mouth and bit Cheng Yue's forearm!

Cheng Yue didn't hide, and let her bite her left arm.

Ryoko bit it, but only gently imprinted a shallow tooth mark on Cheng Yue's left arm, and then let go of Cheng Yue's arm crying.

Zhuzi looked at Cheng Yue's face with tears, took Ryoko and Fangzi's hands, gave a deep salute to Cheng Yue and the others, and reluctantly watched Hojo Shizong and the others disappear from view, and finally left silently.

Lanxi Daolong and the other three senior monks came over and said, "Your Highness, can the old man cross for them next to him?" ”

Cheng Yue nodded and said, "Master, please." He raised his voice and said, "Everyone can go." ”

The monarchs and ministers in the hall got up suddenly, lined up in a neat line, and went to the outside of the hall to watch the four people disembowel.

The place of disembowelment was chosen on the side of the Chang Palace, and there were originally six positions, but because Bizen Tai Yu and Echigo Sun Taro returned to Shun Cheng Yue, two were temporarily removed, and only four positions remained.

According to the rules of disembowelment, all the objects were prepared one by one, and the most conspicuous ones were four long black knives. The middle two are the famous 'Onimaru' and 'Onikiri', which were previously kept by a special person, but now they are placed on the caesarean section, waiting to be cut off from their owners' heads.

During the Kamakura Shogunate, the custom of samurai disembowelment was just emerging, and the rules were not as cumbersome as in later generations, and they were basically quite concise and easy to implement, but one thing remained the same, that is, only samurai could disembowel, and ordinary people did not have this qualification.

The samurai in Japan not only had the privilege of the so-called honorable death, but also had many other outrageous powers, such as the law that allowed the samurai to kill civilians who were disrespectful to them without being held responsible, so the samurai were very proud of their status and tried to defend it.

Cheng Yue used powerful force to make the Japanese samurai die and surrender, almost completely destroying this class, and also emphasized the elimination of all unreasonable privileges when changing the law, so Cheng Yue's change in Japan is a great change that has not been seen in a thousand years.
