Since the Japanese imperial family claims to be the emperor and is a descendant of Amaterasu, how can it still be a vassal to others? Isn't it a big joke in the world? But now that the Song and Mongols have come to the door, what if they don't claim to be ministers? Who can solve this dilemma?

Dongyuan Shixiong muttered: "Your Majesty, although the Song army and the Yuan army came together this time, it was Cheng Yue who led the troops. When Cheng Yue sent the envoys, he did not mention the matter of being a minister, but just wanted compensation. It can be seen that Cheng Yue and Kublai Khan's intentions are not the same, and we seem to be able to take advantage of this. ”

Emperor Hou Shencao stared at the cave courtyard with blazing eyes, and said, "Lord of the cave, tell me about it, how to use it?" Does Cheng Yue dare to disobey Kublai Khan? (Minoru Toin was the father-in-law of Emperor Go-Fukakusa and Emperor Kameyama at the same time)

Emperor Guishan interjected: "Cheng Yue has the power and army of the Southern Song Dynasty, and he is not afraid of Kublai Khan, but Kublai Khan has a request for him. Judging from the fact that Cheng Yue killed thousands of lamas without Kublai Khan's permission in most of the capitals, Cheng Yue was a person who did his own thing, and Kublai Khan couldn't do anything about him. ”

Ying Si Jian Ping also said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, this time the Song and Yuan armies invaded Japan, Mongolia was accompanied by princes, princesses and many generals, but the leader was still Cheng Yue, the king of Zhennan. If we can convince Cheng Yue to deal only with the shogunate and not affect the imperial family, perhaps we can avoid great humiliation. ”

Emperor Hou Shencao said: "Lord Guan Bai is saying to let Cheng Yue speak for us?" ”

Yingji Kanping said: "Cheng Yue is the ruler of the Great Song Dynasty, young and promising, ambitious, how can he be willing to let Mongolia get Japan?" If he can lead an army to conquer Japan. Japan was a vassal to Mongolia. He only extorted some gold and silver. Isn't that funny? In the future, if Japan's gold and silver help Kublai Khan, what good will it do him? If the minister is Cheng Yue, he will definitely try his best to prevent Kublai Khan from occupying Japan! ”

Emperor Hou Shencao immediately asked, "Cheng Yue does this, what can he get in return?" ”

Eagle Si and Ping paused, gritted his teeth and said: "If the shogunate is not against Cheng Yue, you might as well entrust it to the shogunate!" ”

As soon as Eagle Division and Ping's voice fell, the ministers couldn't help but gasp!

If Takaji Kanepei's words were known by the shogunate, it would definitely set off a monstrous wave! Even if it's just about talking about it here. It's also shocking!

Emperor Hou Fukakusa and Emperor Kameyama were not very surprised. Takaji Kanehei's suggestion may sound earth-shattering, but it's actually a logical one. If the shogunate is defeated, the emperor will be at the mercy of Cheng Yue, what is the position of a shogun? The emperor is still the emperor, but it is just a change of general, which is completely acceptable, and it is much better than paying tribute to Mongolia.

After thinking about it, Nijo Yoshimi agreed very much and said, "The position of shogun can be completely given to Cheng Yue." King Wei Kang has been doing very unpleasantly in the past few years, right? Ask him to come back to Kyoto. ”

Ichijo Shijing saw Takaji Kanhei and Nijo Yoshimi both agreed. He also felt that this discussion was very good, and said: "Exactly, maintaining the emperor's lineage is the most important, and some other compromises can be made, and it doesn't matter who will be the general of the expedition, so as to eliminate the power of the Mongols is the most important." If you have to choose one of the Great Song Dynasty and Mongolia to come to Japan, of course you have to choose the Great Song Dynasty! ”

Japan's fascination with the Great Song Dynasty has long been deep-rooted, but it is very disgusted with the Mongols.

The three important ministers spoke one after another, and the other ministers couldn't think of a better idea, so they nodded in agreement. In their opinion, Cheng Yue's war on Japan is still excusable, and Mongolia is purely coveting Japan's fat meat, since it can't resist, using Cheng Yue to fight against the Hojo clan and Kublai Khan is definitely a good move!

Emperor Kameyama saw that most of the courtiers agreed with Takaji Kanehei's proposal, and he finally felt a little sure in his heart. This is actually the result of his first discussion with Takaji Kanpei, and he specially asked for support here.

Emperor Kameyama turned his head to Emperor Hou Shencao and said, "What does the Emperor think?" ”

Emperor Hou Shencao sighed and said, "It seems that there is no other way. ”

Dongyuan Minoru asked, "Your Majesty, is the battle irretrievable?" ”

Emperor Guishan sighed and said, "According to the news that has come, Cheng Yue is not only strong in troops, but also has many unheard of powerful weapons. For example, he has something that can explode, throw it into the ranks, and kill more than a dozen people at once! There is also a long, thick tube that can shoot large iron balls, which can smash through the city wall in a few clicks, and the defenders can't resist no matter how tenacious they are! ”

When the ministers heard this, they couldn't help but change their color!

Emperor Kameyama said: "Do you remember the hot air balloon mentioned in the newspaper from the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

The ministers were all taken aback, and Tokudaiji Shiki blurted out, "Is there really such a thing in the world?" Isn't the newspaper exaggerating? ”

Emperor Kameyama nodded heavily and said, "There is indeed such a thing, it is clearly written in the urgent report to Kamakura, and it was told to me privately by the Rokubora Mansion." During the siege, the hot air balloon will be raised, and the layout of the city will fall into the eyes of the enemy. Sometimes the hot air balloon carried several Song soldiers, using a kind of long-held pipe to shoot iron pellets into the city, and the middle of them would die, but our archers could not reach them, and the people in the city could not avoid them, so they could only be slaughtered. In this way, how can anyone dare to stand on the city wall? And how to defend it? It's easy to break the city! ”

Including the Emperor Hou Fukakusa, everyone was dumbfounded! If it is true as Emperor Kameyama said, the shogunate will be defeated!

Emperor Guishan couldn't help but sigh again, and said, "Cheng Yue is really a genius, probably God made him make a contribution, right?" No matter how strong the shogunate's troops are, they will never be Cheng Yue's opponents! ”

Emperor Gofukusa asked in surprise, "So, is the Hojo clan going to fall?" ”

Emperor Kameyama said: "Fujiwara is the first, and Cheng Yue did not stop. Hojo Tokimune's daring to kill Kublai Khan's envoys must have been the next target. As for us, we have no grievances with Cheng Yue, and we are still useful to him, but we should be safer. ”

The ministers thought so, and kept nodding yes, and they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Ying Si Jian Ping said: "Please ask His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the French Emperor to designate the candidates to negotiate with Cheng Yue, so as to prepare early." ”

Emperor Kameyama said: "Let's talk about it with Lord Takaji, can Lord Nijo and Lord Ichijo assist?" ”

The three of them crawled forward and bowed, "Yes!" ”

Emperor Gofukakusa also had no opinion, so he decided on it.

The Japanese monarchs and ministers all regarded Cheng Yue's war as very simple, and thought that they could negotiate with Cheng Yue, continue to maintain the emperor's lineage, and benefit from Cheng Yue's delicate relationship with Kublai Khan. (To be continued.) )
