"Your Majesty, in fact, when I went to Mingguo, Da Ming didn't do a very domineering thing......" was silent for a long time, and suddenly someone said something amazing, and when Katsuhito looked up, he saw that it was the businessman Imai who spoke. [Full text reading]

"Bastards, they've all been forced to the head of His Majesty the Emperor, isn't that too much? His Majesty the Emperor is a descendant of the gods, the highest symbol of the book, and the ......" Several powerful factions were silent, shouting only the group of ministers, the only thing these people can be proud of is the identity brought by the bloodline, and this matter is also the biggest stimulation for them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you can't say the same thing." Imai retorted proudly: "Before coming down, I was fortunate to have a meeting with Lin Shangshu, the special envoy of the Ming Dynasty, Lin Shangshu is a great Confucian, needless to say his knowledge and demeanor, and the bearing he showed is also heartbreaking...... Lin Shangshu is reasonable, this is not called coercion, in the international arena, the leaders of the two countries have exchanges with each other, this is called a friendly visit. ”

"Friendly visit?" Katsuhito pursed his lips and said that he was not forced, so the terrible gunboats were all out, and there was no sense of friendship at all.

"Yes, Lin Shangshu also brought the international convention that the Ming Dynasty just established this year, and there is a special explanation on it, Your Majesty, please ......see it," he said, he took out a scroll from his arms, handed it to the chamberlain with respectful hands, and then explained:

"The Great Tomorrow believes that this is also a branch of Huaxia and belongs to a part of the Ming Dynasty...... According to Lin Shangshu's research, His Majesty's seniority is just one generation lower than that of the Great Tomorrow, and he can be called by his father...... Since there is a father-son friendship, how can we talk about coercion? ”

"Bastard......" There was a shout and scolding from the minister, but he lost the feeling of being full of energy just now, and he looked a little weak. Not only because the situation is stronger than others, but also because they have lost their temper after reading the national letter.

The evidence on the national letter is extremely detailed, starting from Qin Shi Huang sent Xu Fu to the east, until the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the first contact between the Wa Kingdom and the Central Plains, and then in the Sui Dynasty formally exchanged the national letters, mutual recognition, and finally experienced the Tang and Song dynasties, to the Ming Dynasty, no more, no less, just a generation.

The time span of the evidence is so large, of course, the content on it will not be missing, and the scroll is full of dense fly-headed small letters, which makes people dizzy at first glance.

Many classics of the Wa Kingdom originally used Chinese allusions, so they are no strangers to the history of the Central Plains, and they can even be called very interested. I didn't have time to read the whole national book, so they randomly selected part of the content in the middle to read.

But in the national letter, both the content of the article and the evidence are very rigorous and reasonable, so that the ministers have no way to refute, and they are amazed that the other party is well prepared and knowledgeable, and they can only helplessly turn their heads.

It's not terrible to be knowledgeable, it's not terrible to be rigorous, it's a big deal to be a scoundrel and not admit it, but while the other party is reasonable, he also puts up an artillery array, which is very scary.

Reasoning can't talk about people, you can't beat people, and there are a lot of internal problems, isn't this one who is persuading His Majesty to obey is a famous businessman in Jinai? Don't look at this person so respectful now, but if the two sides really turn their faces, and those merchants in the town of the world unite and starve to death of their wasted ministers, who will make the family rich and powerful?

"Your Majesty went to Daming, but it was just to admit a mistake and lose some face, well, it was still lost in front of my fathers, this is actually nothing, compared to the Heavenly Empire, Long Yan was angry, and thunder fell, Your Majesty, please think twice......" Imai bowed his body deeply, bowed to the ground, and said earnestly and persuasively.

He's a businessman, he doesn't care about his reputation or anything, if he can take this opportunity to get involved with the governor's palace, he will be prosperous in the future. The goal of the princes was to conquer their neighbors and expand their territory, but the merchants were not so complicated, the most important thing in their eyes was wealth, and if they could hug the thick thighs of the governor's palace, wealth would naturally roll in.

Besides, if you don't comply, the first one who will be unlucky is Kaimachi. Without that big port, the industry of him and his companions would have shrunk by at least nearly half, and of course he would be very nervous.

"Your Majesty, Daming is a kingdom, and it is still very creditable, and it took so much thought to write such a detailed national letter, which also fully reflects the sincerity, and I think that it can still be considered carefully......"

Ouchi Yoshihei originally wanted to stay out of the matter, but, judging from Imai's performance, this person is likely to have betrayed completely. If he returns to Kai Town, describes the matter to the governor, and then summons the number one general of the western kingdom back, Amaterasu is on top, and the Ouchi family will definitely be finished.

Therefore, he didn't care about his reputation or anything, and joined the ranks of exhortation. Anyway, the preparation of the Ming Kingdom has been done very well, and the reason has been explained very clearly in the national book, and it doesn't look like there is any malice.

Want to annex the Wa Kingdom? Although the emperor is poor, the people in the family are still very prosperous, even if Katsuhito is detained by the Ming Dynasty, it is a big deal to change another one, anyway, just supporting a few close daimyo will not achieve the purpose of annexation. Even if the Ming Kingdom makes a big move, isn't there still a kamikaze on the sea, for such a distant place, the labor expedition is not worth it, right?

These two people started to start, and everyone else echoed it, at least nominally, this is a friendly visit, and it is also said at the end of the letter that in two years, the son of tomorrow will also come to the country, since it is this kind of thing that comes and goes, why make a fuss?

was uproared by everyone, and Katsuhito himself was shaken. The Japanese people are surnamed this, as long as the external pressure is strong enough, they can not even save face, not to mention that they can save a lot of face now, in fact, it is not very bad.

When they officially entered the Central Plains for the first time, they were also very arrogant, claiming to be the emperor to the Son of Heaven of the Great Sui, and they refused to change their words. Later, after fighting a battle with Datang at the mouth of the Baicun River and losing a mess, they changed their previous rebellious attitude, and when they came to the Central Plains again, their attitude was called humility.

Now, they have seen the strength of the Central Plains again, although they are still a little unconvinced, but they can quickly identify the real situation, and follow their own surnames, and make similar judgments and choices.

"Your Majesty, Daming is very, very prosperous, even if it is a border town, it is not inferior to Jiecho, not to mention a place like the capital! Lin Shangshu said, when you go, someone will entertain you with your heart, think about it...... Imai's voice was full of temptation, and finally touched Katsuhito's heart.

"That'...... For the sake of the stability of the world and the friendship between the two countries, let's go. "At the very least, there should be white rice, right? A very simple thought flashed through Katsuhito's mind, and then he settled the matter down.

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to accompany the driver and take care of the responsibility."

"The minister is also ......"

Imai was not the only one who was tempted by Katsuhito, Katsuhito nodded, and the ministers were also enthusiastic. From the information passed down from the old people, we can know that the dynasty of the Central Plains has always been very particular about face and has always treated foreign envoys with kindness.

Daming will take such an action this time, eighty percent is also for the sake of face, and now that there has been such a big move, do you need to talk about the investment in the back? Follow the emperor to Daming to eat and drink spicy food, isn't it better than being poor in Kyoto?

The crowd was turbulent, Imai realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly explained: "Everyone, everyone, please don't get excited, what Lin Shangshu means is that the mission only needs His Majesty the Emperor alone, and then a few entourage, so many of you, it must be beyond the specifications." ”

"What? How can we do it, there can be few civilian personnel, but the samurai who can protect them are indispensable, and without samurai, who will surround the safety of His Majesty the Emperor? ”

"That is, that is, in addition to defending the emperor, we should also show the bravery of the samurai, so that the Ming Dynasty will be afraid, so as not to underestimate us."

Before the ministers had time to coax, the daimyo were all red-eyed. Ouchi Yoshiko wanted to take this opportunity to improve his relationship with the Governor's Office, and if he could not become a sworn friend like the Mori family, at least maintain a normal relationship so as not to continue to suffer blows.

The two Hosokawas were not convinced, the Hosokawa family was the leader, but the emperor was taken away by others, and they were disgraced by the leader.

I can't build ships on my side, I can't beat the Ming people at sea, and the cavalry of the Mongols is also very fierce, but the Ming people's own force is not very good, otherwise how could they be beaten by a group of ronins for many years since the founding of the country? Therefore, he planned to send his warriors out to find some face in the capital of Daming.

Lin Shangshu also said that the imperial navy of the Ming Dynasty is invincible, and the guards of the Son of Heaven are even more powerful, as long as His Majesty the Emperor steps on the deck, he is a guest of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no need to worry about safety at all. However, if your Highnesses want to learn from each other, you can open up the net and let the samurai selected by lottery come on board the ship. ”

Imai seemed to have suddenly transformed into Lin Han's spokesperson, answering like a stream, while appeasing the disappointed ministers, while calmly dealing with the princes.

"His Majesty the Emperor can only get on the other party's ship, isn't this like a captive?" Ashikaga Yoshinoki frowned and objected. In fact, in this matter, he is the most indifferent person, but he attaches the most importance to the names of these empty heads.

"Lin Shangshu didn't limit this aspect, but Daming's ships sailed very fast, and they were very stable, and they could move against the wind, and their own ships were afraid that they couldn't keep up, and they were also dangerous......"

The country only has a small sampan named Kozao, and the Ataku ship can only sail in the offshore sea, and the speed is still slow, not to mention, that thing is not owned by everyone, the Ouchi family originally owned seven or eight Ataku, and it was already known as the most powerful naval army, how could the impoverished generals and emperors afford to build that kind of ship?

"That's it, Imai, you go to reply to the envoys of the Ming Kingdom, and the widow will set off for Jiemachi tomorrow, and then go to Daming with the envoy." Katsuhito is not stupid, he doesn't want to cross the East China Sea on a small sampan, in the face of the threat to his life, it is really nothing to save face.
