In the late spring of March of the eighth year of Zhenghe, Zhao Gou, who had been away from Beijing for nearly four months, finally embarked on a journey back to the capital. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

He seems to have a happy face, but only he knows how much burden he brought back. After all, he is still a teenager, even if he already has the potential to be a politician, and the city government is so deep that he is not suitable for his age, but he still has never played Zhou Quan.

On the way back, he took a boat, and when he first got seasick, but now he got used to it.

After sending him away, Zhou Quan didn't pay too much attention to him.

For Zhou Quan, this is an idle move, stay in the palace, use it if you can, and use it if you can't...... Then let him die.

Zhou Quan's main concern now is the negotiations in Japan.

After Bai Xianfeng arrived at Xiaguan, he immediately sent envoys to ask Liao, Goryeo, Jin, and Japan to send people to meet with Xiaguan.

"According to the imperial decree of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, I can't bear to see the war prolonged and the lives of people are ruined, so I invite envoys from all countries to gather at Xiaguan Port on the fifth day of the fifth month of the eighth year of the Great Song Dynasty to discuss the matter of the army.

Both Yelu Daeshi and Goryeo Wang Ying welcomed this document, and until now, the soldiers of both countries have grabbed fat, and their fighting spirit is not so firm, and now they mainly rely on the Japanese traitors of their servants to fight, so it will take a period of peace to digest the fruits of victory.

And Jin Guowushu's reaction is said to have beaten three servants, smashed several sets of porcelain and glassware, and then threatened the envoy sent by Bai Xianxian.

But the messenger only said a word, and the guy swallowed this breath.

"We have cannons."

It's easy to do here, but it's a bit difficult to do in Japan.

At this time, Japan had been divided into two major powers, as well as countless small local powers. The two major forces were Emperor Shirakawa, who controlled the unoccupied part of the southern part of Honshu and the island of Shikoku, and they gathered in Kurashiki, but the actual control of military power was Taira Masamori, the father of Taira Tadamori. Taira Masamori had already opened the government, proclaimed himself a general, and was in charge of military and political power, and Emperor Shirakawa was actually controlled by the air.

On the other side, Emperor Toba is nominally supreme and Fujiwara is the regent Sekihaku, but in fact the power is in the hands of Minamoto Yoshi, who also calls himself the great shogun. Now the trouble is boiling, Yuan Weiyi and Fujiwara Faithful also began to fight for power, in order to facilitate control, Yuan Weiyi set fire to Heiankyo, falsely claiming that it was Heimasa Mori sent people to move Emperor Toba to Kanagawa, but abandoned Fujiwara Loyalty, so the regent Sekihaku barely controlled the dilapidated Heiankyo and the surrounding places, sandwiched between the forces of the Taira and Genji clans, and destruction was just around the corner.

At this moment, the Yuan political faction and the Regent faction, which originally dominated the situation in Japan, were all sitting on wax, although they were unwilling, but they were helpless. Because times have changed, their storm has dissipated, and the next thing is the era of the samurai.

However, the Taira clan and the Genji may not be happy to the end, not to mention the tiger eyes of the countries, even within Japan, the local wealthy families have also occupied the territory, and in some places there are also peasant and monk riots, in response to Hou Hideyoshi's call, to do something "one-handed".

In fact, behind this, many temples such as Todaiji Temple, Kofukuji Temple, and Mitsui Temple took advantage of the troubled times to expand the economic and political interests of the temples with the help of Buddhist teachings and the scattered fragments of the "three mountains" thought that Hou Xiuji learned from the people of Jiuhe Road.

Fortunately, the white vanguard was instructed by Zhou Quan, since it was a meeting of "soldiers", all those who had the ability and strength to participate in the war were invited.

Ping Zhongsheng and Yuan Weiyi had both been to the Great Song Dynasty and had seen Zhou Quan's methods, and after receiving the news from the Japanese businessmen, they were a little panicked at that time.

It's okay for Yuan Weiyi, he can make decisions in his own family, but although Ping Zhongsheng is in charge of the army, the nominal general of Zhengyi is still in the hands of his Laozi, who once killed Yuan Weiyi's father.

"Are you saying that you want me to pay attention to the so-called documents sent by this merchant, and according to the above statement, temporarily stop crusading against the traitors and go to peace talks with Zhuyi?"

Ping Zhengsheng looked at his son indifferently, and quickly calculated in his heart.

There is no father and son in the struggle for power, and Ping Zhengsheng's position as the general of Zhengyi was arched by Ping Zhongsheng, but after taking power, Ping Zhengsheng was not satisfied with being a nominal supreme commander, and he hoped that Ping Zhongsheng would also hand over the military power in his hands.

And this announcement is an opportunity in his opinion.

The army controlled by Ping Zhongsheng, with the original northern samurai as the core, were all fanatical samurai, and at this time, they all shouted one by one to respect the king, or to beg the thieves to get rid of the rebellion, and asked them to negotiate?

"My father has never seen the elite of the Song army, they have incredible weapons, and their combat power is twice that of our army. Even the three Yi were suppressed by them, and no one dared to resist their will. ”

"You are the ambition of the enemy, and the prestige of your own destruction!" Ping Zhengsheng snorted: "Zhongsheng, I think you are no longer suitable to lead the army...... You still stay here, and after I pacify the world, then lead the army to negotiate with the Song State!" ”

Ping Zhongsheng was stunned for a moment: "Father ......"

"Okay, you just stay here, and someone will bring you three meals." When Ping Zhengsheng said this, he got up from the tatami mat, and Ping Zhongsheng was shocked.

Because it was a secret discussion between father and son, there were only the two of them in the room, and Ping Zhongsheng jumped up and was about to draw his sword, but he heard the sound of the door breaking behind him, and then more than a dozen samurai walked in.

"Young lord, please don't move, this is the general's order, don't make it difficult for us." Behind him, a samurai spoke calmly.

"You are plotting rebellion, rebellion!"

"When you are a father, you have to obey the orders of you, who are sons, that is the rebellion of the following restraints!" Ping Zhengsheng was about to turn behind the screen, when he heard his shouting, he glanced back, his eyes were indifferent: "Zhongsheng, you are doing a good job, but I don't want to be Tang Gaozu." ”

When Tang Gaozu Li Yuan was founded, his son Li Shimin made great contributions, and later the Xuanwumen mutiny, Li Shimin killed his brother and brother, and forced Li Yuan to become the emperor. Ping Zhengsheng's words made Ping Zhongsheng's words that he was originally going to shout retract.

He only hates himself now for giving up the position of General Zhengyi for the sake of his father's appeal, otherwise, how could his father have such an opportunity!

"Father, you will regret it, not because you imprisoned me today, but because you went to provoke the people of the Song Kingdom, father, it is still too late to correct it, you don't know the horror of the King of the East China Sea of the Song Kingdom, but I know it!"

Leaving Ping Zhongsheng's shout behind, Ping Zhengsheng came outside and instructed his henchman: "Let's just say that Zhongsheng is sick and will not see outsiders for the time being...... I'm afraid that the people of the Song Kingdom are afraid of being like this, aren't they sick? ”

It didn't take long for the news from here to reach Shimonoseki.

"Killed the envoy we sent, and imprisoned Ping Zhongsheng, who advocated peace talks?" After Bai Xianfeng got the news, he didn't laugh angrily, he looked at Ye Chu and Zhang Shun: "Two, someone bullied me, what do you say?" ”

Ye Chu's demeanor was as usual, but Zhang Shun was arrogant and untamed, and he sneered: "Set up a cannon on the beach, and they will agree to all conditions!" ”

"Exactly...... Well, let's wait a few days and wait for the envoys of the rest of the powers. ”

The rest of the forces sent by the other forces were only the leading envoys, not the main envoys, and even the Jin State did not know where to find a Han Chinese to act as their leading envoy. On April 15, the envoys gathered, and then everyone boarded the big ship of the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce.

A total of four ships, including two gunboats and two merchant ships, broke straight into Kurashiki, and after a demonstration of artillery, all the Japanese ships in the entire Kurashiki harbor were reduced to pieces, and the muzzles of the guns were also aimed at the tallest building in the city, and hundreds of shells were poured in one go, almost leveling the building and its surrounding land.

This shelling taught Taira Masamori a good lesson, and when he came out of hiding in ignorance after the shelling, he saw that his mansion, including Emperor Shirakawa, who lived in it, was a thing of the past, and then he wondered why his son would warn him so much.

But the more this is the case, the more Ping Zhongsheng can't be released!

Ping Zhengsheng's mind turned around, and he had decided to put the charge of resisting the peace talks and killing Emperor Baihe on Ping Zhongsheng's head, and he wanted to find a way to hug the thighs of the Song people.

"Father, I've said it all!" Just when he was thinking about how to hug Song Man's thighs, there was a sound of gnashing teeth in his ears.

He looked back and saw his son Taira Zhongsheng appear in front of him.

"Zhongsheng, how are you ...... You're okay, it's okay if there's nothing to do, I'm relieved if there's nothing to do! ”

Ping was not imprisoned in the tallest building, but when the shelling began, he realized that his chance had come.

The guards are all Pingzhengsheng's cronies, but no matter how close they are, when faced with the choice of life and death, they will also think carefully. The power of the artillery proved that Ping Zhongsheng was right, and Ping Zhongsheng threatened that he had seen the king of the East China Sea as an envoy and was treated well by the king of the East China Sea, and this shelling was to rescue him.

"Yes, you can go with peace of mind!" Ping Zhongsheng's face was a little hideous, he strode forward, came to his father, and took off the seal of the general Zhengyi tied to his father's belt.

Originally, they were in a good situation, controlling Emperor Shirakawa in their hands, and occupying the richest large area of Japan, although they directly faced the invasion of the Three Kingdoms, but Taira Zhongsheng was still sure that with his previous secret connection with the Liao State, and then he could please the Song people, he could gain a firm foothold and develop and grow.

But now, all this is going to have twists and turns, and it is his father who has imprisoned him and almost killed him!

"Zhongsheng, I am willing to pass on the position of the general of Zhengyi to you, and then become a monk......"

"Of course, you have to become a monk, and then, for the sake of the inheritance and foundation of the Hei family, please go to Xiaguan and participate in the meeting organized by the Song people as my envoy. I believe that my father will be very, very satisfied! ”

Ping Zhengsheng was shocked, but when he saw his son's cold gaze, he immediately understood that he could not refuse this matter. (To be continued.) )
