The steps of the six-story building are quite workable to climb up, and Abe Mid-Autumn is in a bit of a hurry, so when he goes up to the sixth floor, he is already tired and a little out of breath.

took out a handkerchief and wiped his sweat, Abe Zhongqiu finally followed Song Xiance to a room.

To his surprise, there were no fierce guards with knives and guns in front of this room, not even a doorkeeper. Song Xiance arrived here, just pushed the door, and then went in, Abe Zhongqiu's eyes looked in, only to see a young man sitting at a table, seeing Song Xiance come in, the young man hurriedly got up.

"Mr. Song is here...... Is this the Tokugawa shogunate's old middle Abe Mid-Autumn Festival? ”

Abe Mid-Autumn has heard that the Nanhai Bo of the Ming Kingdom is very young, and the young man in front of him is extraordinary, and his demeanor is elegant, could it be Nanhai Bo? But he is too young, and looking at his appearance, he is not the kind of person who has lived in the world for a long time.

In the Tokugawa shogunate, Abe Chukatsu had always been known for his intelligence and vision over his colleagues, so both Doi and Iemitsu pinned their last hopes on him. He looked at the young man and felt that although he was extraordinary, he was not the kind of male lord of a generation.

"The servant is the criminal minister Abe Mid-Autumn Festival." He bowed his head and saluted, no matter what the identity of the other party was, it was not something he could offend.

"Mr. Song, please take him in." The young man smiled, and his attitude was kind: "The official is inside." ”

"Don't you want to be searched?" Abe Mid-Autumn couldn't help but ask.

Until now. No one has searched his body yet, and this Nanhai Bo's guard is inevitably too loose. According to the custom of the samurai, he wore a short blade. Going to see the Nanhai Bo with a weapon like this made him feel uneasy.

"Ah, it doesn't matter." The young man smiled and said, "Go in." ”

Abe Mid-Autumn Festival followed Song to make a decision. Walked through the door next to the young man, after they entered. The young man closed the door.

The room he visited was as spacious as the Tokugawa family's council room in Edo Castle. The huge glass window shows the identity of the owner, through the glass window, Abe Mid-Autumn Festival can see the new Xiangcheng outside, this neat city is like a garden carefully built by the Ming people, extremely beautiful.

Abe Chukyoka was suddenly a little moved, and at the same time disgusted with the low castles of Wa Province.

Then he noticed the young man sitting in front of the huge glass window.

He wore the same uniform as the new Xianghuwei he had seen, except that he did not have epaulettes or collar flowers on his uniform. He sat there though. But the fact that his waist is straight proves that he is a strict self-disciplined man, and that he does not indulge himself even in the most common and trivial matters. His shoulders were broad, his upper body looked very well-proportioned, and his ironed uniform was close to his body, making his whole person exude a sharp determination.

Abe Mid-Autumn raised his eyes slightly, and finally saw this person's face.

Sure enough, it's very young. It can even be said that he is a little too young, because in appearance, he looks younger than the young man in the room in front of him, and even a little baby-faced.

But Abe Chukatsu did not despise this baby face. On the contrary, his heart was like turning over a river and a sea.

Several recent heroes of the Wa Kingdom, Nobunaga Gong is regarded as a fool who grows up, and there is no image of a samurai when he is young, and Saruhideyoshi is as his name, monkey head and monkey brain, that is, Ieyasu, who founded the Tokugawa shogunate, is despised as an "old turtle", and there is also a reason for his image.

And above the history of the Ming Kingdom, those eloquent and strategic characters also have many extraordinary appearances. Cao Mengde's white face is feminine, and Zhu Yuanzhang's long face is protruding.

Therefore, after discovering Yu Guozhen's appearance, Abe Mid-Autumn immediately compared him with these two historical figures who were both political and martial artists.

Then, he couldn't help but weaken his knees and bow down.

"The outward criminal minister Abe Mid-Autumn Festival, meet His Royal Highness Nanhai Bo Chitose of the Ming Kingdom."

His voice trembled a little, not out of fear, but out of respect. The characteristic of the Japanese people is to obey and admire the strong, as long as they are the strong people who make them respectful, even if they have the hatred of killing their father and adultering mother, they will respectfully worship them.

Yu Guozhen is aware of this characteristic of the Japanese people, and he knows this very well. He looked at Abe Mid-Autumn Festival kneeling in front of him, and gestured slightly to Song Xiance, and Song Xiance helped Abe Mid-Autumn Festival up.

"Your Chinese language is good." Yu Guozhen didn't say anything else, and first praised Abe for being able to speak Chinese fluently.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your praise." Abe Mid-Autumn bowed down again.

"How many people in the Wa Kingdom can speak Chinese as proficiently as you?"

"Japanese ......"

"The Wa Kingdom, recorded in my country's "Later Han Shu Dongyi Biography", during the Eastern Han Dynasty, you were named the king of the Han Dynasty." Yu Guozhen smiled, and then said meaningfully: "This fully shows that since ancient times, the Wa Kingdom has been my Chinese subject state and an inseparable part of China!" ”

Abe's Nakashika defended: "Since the reform of Taika, our country has been called the ...... of Japan."

"In the Sui period, Xiaoye's sister came from the Japanese kingdom, and the book of the kingdom was unreasonable, claiming to be the son of heaven at sunrise. In the first year of Tang Xianheng, the Japanese sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty, and Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty was deceived by the envoys, thinking that the people of the Japanese State had 'learned a little Xia Yan', and did not like the Japanese characters, so they changed it to Japan, which means recently. Yu Guozhen said slowly: "This matter is contained in the "New Tang Dynasty Book Japanese Biography", you are proficient in Sinology, you can speak my Chinese language, you must be able to understand it, do you want me to find a copy of the "New Tang Dynasty Book" for you?" ”

Abe Chukashi muttered: "This also shows that our country has long been called the ...... of Japan."

"If the people of the Japanese Kingdom all speak the Chinese language, it can be called Japan, so I just asked you, how many people in the Japanese Kingdom can speak fluent Chinese language like you." Yu Guozhen said: "Can there be sixty percent? Sixty percent of them are called Japan. ”

In this battle for the name of the country alone, Abe knew what a majestic figure he was facing. Judging from his appearance, this person is already extremely good, but now from the point of view of his conversation, he is even more proficient in history books, and the relationship between his words is extremely close, which proves that he is thoughtful. Moreover, the reason why he argued with himself over this small name of the country was clearly because he wanted to fight for the interests of the Wakuni and the Tokugawa shogunate from this name.

Obviously, the attitude of the other side is something that has not been obtained on the battlefield, and it is not expected to be obtained diplomatically!

"After your envoy returns to China, remember the relevant documents, and the word "Japanese" must not appear, and after more than sixty percent of the people of the Japanese Kingdom can speak Chinese, I will naturally change the Japanese country to Japan." Yu Guozhen said again.

In his heart, he thought that it was just a Japanese province instead of a Japanese country.

"Our country is a Ming vassal state, and our monarch and His Royal Highness are both ministers of the Great Tomorrow, and His Royal Highness is afraid that he has no power to do so."

"Hehe, I heard that the lord of the Wa Kingdom is claiming to be the emperor?" Yu Guozhen sneered: "The king of China, he still only dares to call himself the Son of Heaven, and he dares to call himself the emperor of the small state?" The heart of disobedience is clearly exposed, and it is my duty to fight against evil spirits, do you still have an opinion on this? ”

Abe's Mid-Autumn Festival was suddenly speechless.

At this time, the Shogunate of the Wa Kingdom, the respect for the monarch was extremely limited, just more than ten years ago, because of bullying and persecution, the monarch called himself Hou Mizuo, abdicated Zen to his seven-year-old daughter! According to the decrees of the Tokugawa shogunate, the only power of the monarch was to draw up the name of the era!

"Okay, let's get down to business, I already know your intentions, and I want to maintain the Tokugawa family's heritage, right?"

These false names can be allowed, and now is the real contact with the substance, Abe Mid-Autumn Festival bowed down and saluted: "Your Highness's wisdom is as deep as the sea, and your compassion is boundless, although the Tokugawa family has offended His Highness, but Yu Daming is not without merit, and he is still begging for mercy." ”

"Micro-work?" Yu Guozhen was slightly stunned: "The Tokugawa family still has merit for the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"Saruhideyoshi was rampant, good at raising a large army, offending the Ming frontier, His Royal Highness Ieyasu, the first general of the Tokugawa Dynasty, was angry and raised troops, exterminated the ape clan, and eliminated a scourge for the Ming Dynasty, so the other criminals thought that the Tokugawa family had a small contribution to the Ming Dynasty."

"Haha......" Yu Guozhen couldn't help laughing.

This Abe Mid-Autumn Festival will be stubborn, it is clearly the internal strife of the Japanese Kingdom, and the old turtle of Tokugawa Ieyasu did not dare to raise troops until some years after Toyotomi Hidetomi died of a sudden illness, but in the mouth of Abe Mid-Autumn Festival, it became the credit of the Tokugawa family to the Ming Dynasty. In addition, he is about to be justified, so he wants to find a cheap here, implying that Yu Guozhen raised troops without authorization, and he is not a teacher of benevolence and righteousness.

"I remember that the Tokugawa family was first subservient to the Imagawa family, then to the Oda family, and then to Saruhideyoshi...... After Hideyoshi's death, Ieyasu raised an army against his lord and performed a beautiful play of Shimokagami, bullying Hideyoshi's orphans and widows in Osaka Castle twice. Yu Guozhen said slowly: "After that, with the help of force, suppressed many colleagues, pretended to be generals, created the shogunate, closed the country, and did not allow my Chinese people to go to business and travel, he is the son of Zheng Yiguan, and he has also been detained by you for several years, is there such a thing?" ”

Abe Zhongqiu only felt chills on his body, he didn't expect that Yu Guozhen knew so much about the situation of the Wa Kingdom, and even knew some details of the Tokugawa family.

This proves that Yu Guozhen's attention to the Wa Kingdom is by no means a day or two, and it also proves that if the Wa State does not bleed, it will be difficult for the Tokugawa family to persist this time!

Abe Chukashi knew the dilemma that the Tokugawa family was facing now, and the fall of Edo Castle had already been announced to the world, and the Tokugawa shogunate was not unshakable. Iemitsu set fire to Odawara Castle**, which meant that the Tokugawa shogunate, which had been inherited for three generations, had come to an end, and Matsudaira Ietsuna, who had originally gone to conquer Shimabara, occupied the remnants of the Tokugawa family on the northern island of Kyushu, and those suppressed feudal lords and daimyo raised troops to "respond" to Nankai Bo and attack the feudal towns that were still loyal to the Tokugawa family.

In a word, a new Warring States began again.

In the midst of this chaos, the Tokugawa family no longer had to consider the issue of the shogunate, but whether the family could be inherited.

In that case, as long as the Tokugawa family can be saved, what else can not be sacrificed? (To be continued)
