Mingguo, Shuntianfu. Tomato△Novel△網 --'.x-f'q-x's'

Above the court, the envoys of Japan and Korea argued with reason, constantly proving that they were the victims. However, in comparison, the envoy of the Korean state seems to be a bit arrogant. Hawkers, this is not surprising, because when Hosokawa Fujitaka was sent to the Ming Kingdom by Oda Nobunaga, Oda Nobunaga specifically instructed that he must not do anything rude.

Hawkers, in fact, even if Oda Nobunaga doesn't warn, with Hosokawa Fujitaka's character, it's hard to really quarrel with others. What's more, he just made it clear that the facts were reasonable, and he was neither arrogant nor humble.

"Two, two! I already know what happened, why don't you two go down and rest first, and then make a decision after I discuss it with Zhongqing? Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun looked at them with a headache and said. At this time, Zhu Yijun was only 11 years old, even if he was full of poetry and books, where had he ever seen such a battle?

So after the two went down, Zhu Yijun immediately looked at Zhang Juzheng for help. Speaking of which, before Zhu Zai died of illness, he left Zhu Yijun with three auxiliary ministers, namely Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and Gao Yi.

It's a pity that Gao Gong died by himself, and a joke provoked Zhu Yijun's Long Yan to be angry, and then let Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao seize the opportunity to dismiss Gao Gong's officials. After that, Gao Yi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was naturally restless about this, for fear that Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao would target him, but in less than a month, he vomited blood and died, which was really sad. However, because of this, there is only Zhang Juzheng left among the ministers of Gu Ming, plus Feng Bao of the celebrant supervisor, it can be said that these two people have joined forces to control the entire imperial court.

"Your Majesty, although what the envoys of Japan and the envoys of Korea said is one thing, they are completely different, and we must not draw conclusions lightly." Seeing this, Zhang Juzheng said respectfully, but then the conversation changed and said again, "However, as far as the minister knows, the Agote Chamber of Commerce not only has a merchant house in North Korea, but also has opened a large number of merchant houses in many ports in this dynasty. ”

After saying this, he was immediately echoed by some ministers. When Oda Yoshinobu won over the ministers of the Ming Kingdom in the past, in addition to Zhang Juzheng, Gao Gong and others, he did not let go of many ordinary officials, although it was impossible to give them a lot of benefits, but there were many things like nothing to invite guests.

In addition, when the Argotic Chamber of Commerce opened merchant houses in various places, it also dealt with the local government, and how many of these local officials had nothing to do with the imperial court? Coupled with Zhang Juzheng taking the lead, it is natural that they will choose to favor Japan.

And what about the other ministers? Although there was no approval, there was no disapproval. In fact, the attitude of the vast majority of ministers on this matter is ...... There is just no attitude. The reason is also very simple, this is a matter between Korea and Japan, what does it have to do with them? No matter which side they are on, they don't get a dime in the favor, so why should they come out.

"That'...... I'll leave this matter to Zhang Aiqing, you can handle it~" After listening to the ministers' words, Zhu Yijun finally said with a sigh of relief. In the young emperor's heart, what he feared most was that the ministers had more than two different opinions, so his little head really didn't know what to do.

"It would be nice if the court in the future could be like today~" Zhu Yijun thought a little naively. "But that North Korean envoy is really annoying, and he dares to fake a tiger in front of me......" Regarding the attitude of the North Korean envoy, Zhu Yijun was quite disliked, of course, more because of the gentle and elegant Hosokawa Fujitaka standing on the side. There is no harm without contrast, although neither Oda Nobunaga nor Oda Yoshinobu expected this situation.

Zhu Yijun threw this matter to Zhang Juzheng, but Zhang Juzheng really didn't know how to deal with it. Although the Ming State is the suzerain, it is impossible for the subject country to leave everything to the Ming State to judge, right? And it is impossible for him to send people to Korea and Japan to investigate.

Therefore, he could only call Hosokawa Fujitaka and the envoy of the Korean state, hoping that the two countries could mediate privately. Although the envoy of the Korean state was dissatisfied with this, he could not oppose it. It was Hosokawa Fujitaka who handed Zhang Juzheng a letter when he left.

After reading it, Zhang Juzheng suddenly smiled bitterly and said, "My virtuous brother ......"

The content of the letter is very simple, it is nothing more than that the Agotic Chamber of Commerce is a chamber of commerce established by Oda Yoshinobu's woman, smashing the Chamber of Commerce is to slap his woman's face, slapping his woman's face is equivalent to slapping his face, slapping his face is equivalent to slapping the face of the Oda family, slapping the face of the Oda family is equivalent to slapping the face of Japan, in a word, if this matter can be resolved, Oda Yoshinobu will definitely cooperate.

Although the letter did not say what would happen if Oda Yoshinobu could not be solved, Zhang Juzheng could also think of Oda Yoshinobu's meaning with his toes, "Alas, how many people can end the troubled times?" I hope the situation doesn't get out of control......"

Zhang Juzheng thought secretly in his heart, and at the same time was a little unhappy with the North Korean country. is the so-called preconceived idea, although I have not seen the virtues of those royal families in the Korean country, but over the years, Zhang Juzheng has also heard a lot. And what about Yoshinobu Oda? From the first time I saw him to the present, the impression on Zhang Juzheng is quite good.

Although this does not mean that Zhang Juzheng believes that the Agotic Chamber of Commerce is an innocent person, as mentioned before, Zhang Juzheng obviously chose to favor the side of the Oda family when he did not get clear evidence. And will he be able to get clear evidence? Apparently impossible.

It's just that what he couldn't have imagined was that the private mediation between the two families ended so quickly. When the Oda family sent an envoy to Korea to negotiate, they were humiliated by the Korean state, and even worse, the ship on which the envoy was traveling was sabotage......

"What's going on?! Are those bastards in North Korea trying to stir up trouble?! When Zhang Juzheng learned the news, he was immediately stunned.

"Lord Zhang, what do you think about this? Japan has just calmed down the troubled times, and it is impossible to endure this breath......" Feng Bao asked in a soft voice. At this time, Feng Bao was not only the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi, but also the commander of the East Factory, the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and the general internal and external, and his power was for a while.

Hearing this, Zhang Juzheng was silent, this information was sent by Dongchang's branch in North Korea, and there is no doubt about its authenticity. But the question is, what can he do? Or what can the state do?

In the small secret room, Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao stared at each other and were speechless for a while, because they didn't know how to solve this problem at this time.
