In the entire Heianjing, there has been no singing and dancing in the past few months, and there is only coldness and fear. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

First the Jurchens, then the Liao and Goryeo people, and then the Song people, almost the "great powers" that the Japanese had heard of, as if they had made an appointment, attacked Japan almost at the same time.

When Kyushu Island was invaded by the Jin people, there was a dispute in the Japanese court, and the first thing they fought about was not how to recover the lost territory and drive the Jin people out, but who was responsible.

Of course, Emperor Shirakawa did not admit that it was his responsibility, and the regent Seki Shirakuwara did not admit that it was his own responsibility, and Emperor Shirakawa wanted to use this as an excuse to replace Fujiwara Faithful with someone else from the Fujiwara clan, and Fujiwara Faithful also wanted to use this as an excuse to let Emperor Shirakawa "return to power".

In short, it is a big tear, although Emperor Shirakawa has the upper hand, he can't help Fujiwara for a while.

Before they could tear out a victory, the Liao Kingdom and the Goryeo people came.

After all, it was a regime that had dominated China since the end of the Tang Dynasty, and the Goryeo people had been dealing with the Japanese for a long time, although Goryeo was close to the Central Plains at this time, and it was more civilized and developed than Japan, so Japan did not have the problem of looking down on Goryeo, but being bullied by this country still greatly shocked the Japanese government and the opposition.

Faced with this situation, Emperor Shirakawa was finally afraid.

After all, they are the royal family of this country, and others may take refuge in foreign countries, but they are the only ones who want to take refuge in foreign countries, and they are far less comfortable than now.

Emperor Shirakawa relented, and instead of pursuing the cause of the invasion, he faithfully reconciled with Fujiwara, and both sides gathered samurai loyal to him, including the northern samurai, whom Emperor Shirakawa relied on most.

Ping Zhongsheng and Yuan Weiyi are naturally among them, and because of the failure of the Great Song Dynasty, their trip can be regarded as a meritorious service.

Under the Yokudo of the Heian-kyoin Imperial Palace, Emperor Shirakawa supported a maid and looked at the samurai kneeling in front of him.

Hundreds of samurai knelt inside and outside the courtyard, making the entire courtyard seem a little crowded, representing the tens of thousands of soldiers who had been cobbled together.

Seeing these samurai, Emperor Shirakawa felt a little emotional, how good it would be if they were all truly loyal to him.

"Gentlemen, the rise and fall of the imperial kingdom will be entrusted to the monarchs, Yu hereby makes a promise that after driving the Goryeo barbarians into the sea, I will raise a large army to rebel and conquer Goryeo, and when the time comes, the land of Goryeo, I and the ministers will not take any measure, and give all of them to you, thinking that they will be safe!"

"Land on the continent!"

Not only the samurai kneeling below, but even the regent Seki Fujiwara, who was standing behind Emperor Shirakawa, was breathing rapidly at this moment!

The Japanese have a natural yearning for the land on the mainland, firstly because of the frequent earthquakes and typhoons of its native volcanoes, which make them feel uneasy in their hearts, and secondly, because the countries on the mainland are richer and more advanced, and they very much want to be among them.

And Bai He's announcement made everyone excited.

I hadn't heard this kind of statement before, and it was obvious that Emperor Shirakawa's move was to surprise everyone. However, the samurai were happy, but Fujiwara Tadashi was not happy, and Emperor Shirakawa's announcement was not discussed with him beforehand, which clearly caught him off guard.

Poaching in person!

Fujiwara was loyal to the heart, knowing that the emperor wanted to use this to win the hearts of the samurai, and judging from the attitude of these samurai, the emperor's move was indeed effective.

He lowered his head and was thinking about it, but he saw Yuan Weiyi, who was kneeling, raise his head and glance at him.

"Gentlemen, go and prepare, and in an hour, the army will depart!" Bai He glanced at the table clock placed in the main hall and spoke again.

"Listening to the sound of cranes, I can't be scared!" All bushido.

Shirakawa turned around and returned to the house with the support of the maid, and the samurai rushed out of front of the door, and the preoccupied Taira Tadashi was tapped on the shoulder when he went out. He looked back and saw a man of the temple winking at him.

The so-called palace master is a close confidant who serves the emperor, and Ping Zhongsheng recognizes that this one is a close confidant of the emperor's cronies, and when he slows down, he can hear the inner servant say: "Please come with me, Your Majesty wants to see you." ”

This news made Ping Zhong grandly happy.

After the failure of the Great Song Dynasty, Taira lost the favor of Shirakawa, and used to be able to visit the Emperor at any time, but now he can only be seen by mixing with a large group of samurai. This made many of Ping Zhongsheng's plans impossible to arrange, and this time the emperor wanted to meet him privately, which was a rare opportunity for him!

"Fame, wealth, wealth and power, all today, fight!" Secretly cheering himself up in his heart, he quietly followed behind the master of the temple.

After a while, before he came to a side hall, before he entered the door, he heard a soft laugh from there.

Ping Zhongsheng's heart moved, this voice was somewhat familiar to him, it was Fujiwara Zhangzi, the nominal princess, who was actually the emperor's favorite concubine.

The Venerable Master heard the ambiguous laughter inside, and coughed lightly and said, "Ping Zhongsheng will see you." ”

"Let him in."

Ping Zhongsheng bent forward, and after entering the hall, he bowed down directly, and after a while, he heard Bai He's voice: "Get up...... Zhongsheng, the result of your mission to the Song Kingdom has made me very dissatisfied! ”

"Yes, yes!"

"But your family has been loyal to me for many years, so I want to give you another chance...... In this expedition, you have to surround all the samurai, and the gate of the samurai in the north is open to everyone! ”

Ping Zhongsheng immediately understood what Baihe meant.

This was to secretly make him the overseer of the army, to supervise the actions of the army, and at the same time to recruit as many samurai as possible to make them join the Emperor Shirakawa.

"I have no virtue, and even betray my relatives. Fujiwara is faithful, originally used by me, but now he secretly turns his back on me......" Emperor Shirakawa said this, tears streaming down his eyes and his voice choked.

He really thought so.

These generations of Japanese emperors inherited, there were many twists and turns, Shirakawa wanted to establish a court to interfere in state affairs, and even included the appointment and dismissal of the regent Guan Bai, Fujiwara Faithful was able to defeat Fujiwara Kitomi, such as today's emperor Toba's uncle, largely relying on Shirakawa's support.

But no one is willing to share power with others, after the appointment of the Seki, the contradiction between Fujiwara Faithful and Emperor Shirakawa gradually revealed, for example, in the appointment of Gen Weiyi, Shirakawa thought that this person was cruel and greedy and could not be used, while Fujiwara Faithful felt that Minamoto was decisive and straightforward, quite talented. The two sides can still maintain peace on the face at this time, but in fact, the matter of tearing each other apart has happened more than once.

If Bai He didn't cry, it would be okay, but his crying made Ping Zhongsheng tired.

"The Liao people are right...... The so-called emperor is nothing more than that. ”

Ping Zhongsheng secretly had a thought in his heart that he had felt rebellious before, he forcibly pressed it, leaned over and said: "The minister will definitely work hard to solve problems for His Majesty!" ”

"Whatever you want, ask me." Bai He said slowly.

"If you want to recruit samurai for Your Majesty, you need some armor, swords, and money." Pingzhong Shengdao.

"I'll have someone send it to you, 50,000 silver dollars from the Donghai Chamber of Commerce, is it enough?" White River Channel.

If the economic penetration is deep, because of the extremely prosperous smuggling trade, the penetration of the Donghae Chamber of Commerce into Japan is even better than the penetration of Goryeo.

Therefore, even the silver yuan that Bai He used as a reward was minted by the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce.

As soon as he heard the figure of 50,000, Ping Zhongsheng was excited.

It's not enough, it's enough!

50,000 silver yuan is worth 50,000 copper coins on the surface, but when it is actually exchanged, because it is more valuable and convenient, it can be exchanged for 60,000 copper coins!

And with 60,000 yuan, in today's Japan, it is enough to pull up an army of more than 10,000 people and arm them.

Now it's just that the money is used to buy more than a hundred samurai.

"The minister is terrified, he must do this for His Majesty!"

"Over there, you have to pay more attention." Bai He admonished.

They were discussing here, and on the other side, Yuan Weiyi knelt in front of Fujiwara Faithful and said, "I feel that our troops are still insufficient in this battle. This time to the Song State, the humble post also learned the news of the Liao, Goryeo and Jin people, their national strength is strong, any one, is not under our country, although the labor division expedition, but they join forces to attack, our side is alone, so Lord Regent should also be prepared for other things! ”

"What preparation?" Fujiwara Faithful was in an irritable mood and asked casually.

"Defeated!"

Fujiwara was silent for a while, and only after a few minutes did he say softly, "You are not optimistic about this battle? ”

"Very unoptimistic, and my lord, don't forget that the strongest Song Guo has not yet made a move, if Song Guo gets the news, will he also come? Now it's not as good as before, the news from our side of Japan will reach the capital of the Song Kingdom, I'm afraid it will only take a month! ”

Seeing that Fujiwara was still silent, Yuan Weiyi added the heaviest weight: "If it is after the defeat, will the emperor bear the responsibility for this defeat, or will the regent bear it?" ”

Fujiwara Loyal Huo Ran was shocked that the threat of the Song Kingdom was not urgent, and if he was really defeated, what reason did he have to continue to stay in the position of the regent?

Of course, after leaving office, his net worth and life should be worry-free, but how can he bear it if he takes power for a long time and lets him go back to being an idler?

"What do you mean?"

"Genji is quite influential in the Kanto regions, despicable and vulgar, abandoned by the emperor, fortunately the regents are valued, and they are willing to go to the Kanto region to recruit soldiers, but they are loyal to the emperor and the regents!" Gen Weiyi humbly lay on the ground, not letting Fujiwara faithfully see his eyes: "If you are really unfortunate enough to lose the battle, the troops in the hands of the humble are enough to protect Heiankyo from turmoil!" ”

The meaning of his words is very clear, he is loyal to the emperor and Sekihaku, who represents the emperor's regent, and as for the administration of the Imperial Court, there is no precedent in Japan before, it is absurd, and it should be abolished.

As for the so-called protection of Heiankyo from turmoil, the deeper meaning is that at that time, with the forces in his hands, the emperor could bear the responsibility for the defeat!

Thinking about this, Fujiwara was greatly moved! (To be continued.) )
