Chapter 675: General Zhengyi
Emperor Guishan really found an opportunity to come over and toast Cheng Yue and the three princesses, and since Emperor Guishan ascended to the throne, he has never toasted to anyone. However, Cheng Yue will not take this rare honor seriously, he raised his glass and drank it all, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, when the kitchen over there is cleaned up, I will make some dishes of the Great Song Dynasty for you to taste, which can be regarded as a thank you for His Majesty's hospitality today." ”
The Emperor of Kameyama was overjoyed and said: "I have heard for a long time that the dishes in the prince's mansion are the best in the world, I don't know if there are enough vegetarian dishes?" ”
Cheng Yue smiled: "Of course there is, the minister also guarantees that all the kitchen utensils have never been stained with meat, His Majesty the Emperor can rest assured." ”
Emperor Guishan said happily: "Then there is the arrangement of Lord Lao, and I have a good fortune with all the Qing families, so I thank you in advance." ”
Cheng Yue smiled: "A word is a certainty." If His Majesty eats well, as long as the minister is still in Kyoto, he will often bring food over. ”
The Emperor of Kameyama smiled and said yes repeatedly. The Japanese imperial family has extremely strict control over food, but if it can be used to get closer to Cheng Yue, no matter how strict the rules are, they can be put aside for a while.
Seeing that Cheng Yue and Emperor Kameyama got along well and talked and laughed, the Japanese ministers were very happy. I thought that Cheng Yue would inevitably have the arrogance of the victor, and the Japanese monarchs and ministers were desperately prepared to endure it, but unexpectedly, Cheng Yue was amiable and did not have a trace of arrogance, which is really rare!
Seeing that the atmosphere was excellent, Nijo Yoshimi asked respectfully: "Lord Wang, I heard that the Lord sent another general to capture Kamakura, I wonder how the Lord will deal with King Koyasu, the general of the Shogunate who is in Kamakura, and Hojo Tokimune, the ruling power of the shogunate?" ”
Hearing that Nijo Yoshimi asked the key question, the Japanese monarchs and ministers all stopped silent, quietly waiting for Cheng Yue's answer.
Cheng Yue also put down his chopsticks. Look around at the Japanese monarchs. Said: "Angier soldiers send Kamakura. I decided it a long time ago. Whether it is the assassination of me or the atrocity of killing Kublai Khan's envoys, Fujiwara Keiji and Hojo Tokimune cannot escape the blame, and they must give me an explanation! Now that the Fujiwara clan in Kyushu has been wiped out, as for the Hojo Tokimune, I promised the Great Khan before the trip that I would behead the Hojo clan, of course. ”
Fujiwara is a Japanese aristocratic surname. Branches are spread all over the country, and Kyoto has many lineages and side branches. In addition, the Ichijo clan, the Nijo clan, the Sanjo clan, the Kujo clan, the Toin clan, and so on are actually from the Fujiwara clan, so Cheng Yue wanted to emphasize the Fujiwara clan in Kyushu, so as not to be afraid of the Fujiwara clan in Kyoto.
When the Japanese monarchs heard Cheng Yue's words, they couldn't help but take a breath of cool air! Cheng Yue's casual words decided the survival of the Hojo clan of the Kamakura shogunate in Japan!
King Zhennan is really bold!
Cheng Yue said: "During the battle between Hakata Bay and Fujiwara Keishi, Fujiwara Keiji and Fujiwara Keiji were originally captured alive, but after arriving at Dazaifu, they committed suicide. Only Hojo Somasa is left. Hojo Soyori of Akama Pass was beaten away by Angier and disappeared. I hope he escaped back to Kamakura, and it would be better if he could be captured with Hojo Tokimune and taken to Kyoto, and I would kill them in front of His Majesty the Emperor, which is also a funny thing. ”
Cheng Yue said it lightly, and the Japanese monarchs and ministers were terrified when they heard it! The shogunate army, which was so powerful in their eyes that it was absolutely impossible to challenge, was defeated by Cheng Yue in just a few days, and even captured Hojo Somasa, the younger brother of Hojo Shimune!
Cheng Yue's strength is really unimaginable!
Emperor Hou Shencao hurriedly asked, "Lord Wang, may I ask where is the Hojo Somasa?" ”
Cheng Yue said: "There is a special person in our army to guard him, does His Majesty the Emperor want to see him?" ”
Emperor Hou Shencao shook his head and smiled: "Wouldn't it be better to wait for Hojo Shizong to come too, and then see each other?" ”
Cheng Yue laughed and said, "His Majesty the Emperor has a lot of sense. I think I might as well let the royal families from all over the world come back and have a look, and I think they will like it too. ”
Emperor Kameyama and Emperor Gofukakusa smiled from ear to ear, if they could really execute the Hojo clan in front of the royal family of the whole country, what a happy thing it would be!
Emperor Hou Shencao wanted to please Cheng Yue, moved his body forward, and said with a smile: "I shouldn't have asked again, but I hit it off with the prince at first sight, so I want to ask the prince to tell me, how does the prince want to treat the shogunate's general Yuan Weikang?" Yuan Weikang succeeded to the throne as the general of Zhengyi when he was three years old, and he was given the surname as the source, after all, it was too reluctant, and he had been doing nothing in Kamakura all these years, was he unable to bear the heavy responsibility of the shogunate? ”
King Weiyasu's father, Prince Sozun, the sixth generation of the Great General of Seiyi, has passed away, and King Weikang has no ambitions, and he is only willing to Hojo Tokimune, and even the political affairs that should be handled by the Seiyi General are also entrusted to Hojo Tokimune, and he is very obedient.
The hall was quiet again, and the eyes of the ministers turned to Cheng Yue again.
Cheng Yue smiled and said, "How did Yuan Weikang's Zhengyi General do, I will have to investigate in detail." ”
Seeing that Cheng Yue had no intention of succeeding him as the general of Zhengyi, Emperor Hou Fukakusa hurriedly persuaded him: "My lord, the honorable position of the general of Zhengyi has always been filled by the head of the military generals who hold the military power. The prince is an important minister of the Song and Yuan dynasties, with both civil and military skills, and he is powerful all over the world, and he is worthy of his name as the general of Zhengyi, so why bother to fake his hands on others? ”
Emperor Kameyama and Emperor Takaji Kanehei spared no effort to flatter Cheng Yue, and even took the proposal of the two of them as their own, and lobbied Cheng Yue hard, both of them were very disdainful in their hearts, and their faces also showed a trace of contempt.
In fact, the reason why Emperor Gofukakusa tried his best to curry favor with Cheng Yue was not for himself to restore the emperor, but for his second son, Prince Xiren, who was now sitting next to him.
When the shogunate intervened to mediate the dispute between Emperor Gofukakusa and Emperor Kameyama, they agreed to let Emperor Go-Uta succeed Emperor Kameyama on the condition that Prince Rikihito be the crown prince. Now that the shogunate has gone, Emperor Go-Fukakusa is worried that this discussion will change, and seeing that Cheng Yue seems to like Emperor Go-Uta very much, he is afraid that Prince Heehito will be deposed, so he must strive for Cheng Yue to have a good impression of him and Prince Hehito.
Cheng Yue was stunned: "I'm here to be the general of Zhengyi?" Where do I get the time? Besides, I can't live in Japan for long. ”
Emperor Houshencao struck while the iron was hot and said: "Why not?" If the prince doesn't have time to live in Japan, he can just send someone to act as the shogunate and take care of the prince? ”
Cheng Yue pretended to be thoughtful, and the Japanese monarchs and ministers were also worried - Japan's national fortune was just in Cheng Yue's thoughts!
After a long time, Cheng Yue said: "Let me think about this matter, and don't mention it for the time being." ”
Seeing that Cheng Yue was cautious, the Japanese monarch and ministers were not in a hurry to agree, and they couldn't help but praise Cheng Yue in their hearts. In the end, he was an important minister of the Song and Yuan dynasties, calm and clever. Anyway, I can't run away from the dignity of the general, so why rush to express my position?
