Chapter 340: It feels good to be a great power
Ping Zhengsheng and Ping Zongshi's eyes slowly became hot, it was obvious that Emperor Shirakawa was finished, and if the Hei family wanted to restore its former glory, it might be the best choice to cooperate with the young man in front of him; Otherwise, this young man who killed people invisibly with a faint smile would definitely trample the Hei family under his feet, and then easily choose other families to cooperate.
Therefore, knowing that this is a betrayal of their souls to demons, what choice can they make between life and death, honor and disgrace?
Taira Masamori was around forty years old, and because of his cleverness, it happened that Emperor Shirakawa wanted to win over the declining Taira clan to fight against the Fujiwara family, so he became the Kamikita official (commander) among the northern samurai formed by Emperor Shirakawa, and the official residence was four (i.e., four rank officials).
He swallowed hard, looked at Yang Yi and asked slowly, "This Yang ...... Lord Yang, if I, the Heike family, cooperate with Your Excellency, can you ensure that we will not interfere in Japan's internal affairs in the future? ”
Heimasamori's words were like a hammer that struck Emperor Horikawa's heart.
He is already twenty years old, and everything that should be understood understands, once Yang Yi and Ping Zhengsheng make a deal, he will become a stumbling block that needs to be cleared urgently; Even if Yang Yi lets himself go, the Hei family will definitely let himself disappear from this world.
He trembled all over, and without waiting for Yang Yi to answer, he shouted first: "Ping Qingsheng, you wolf ambition, you don't want to succeed, this Yang Island Lord, as long as you don't interfere in Japan's internal affairs in the future, I will follow your conditions, but 40,000 taels of silver, even if you loot Japan three times, I'm afraid you won't be able to find so many ......."
"Your Majesty the Emperor, you are wrong, it is not for me to loot, I will not interfere in Japan's internal affairs, how can I loot the silver of the Japanese people?
Since His Majesty the Emperor has chosen to cooperate with me, he should listen to my words clearly, and the 40,000,000 taels of silver are my reward for helping His Majesty the Emperor regain power; In other words, this is what His Majesty the Emperor owes me, so where to find the money to pay it back is a matter for His Majesty the Emperor; Of course, His Majesty the Emperor asked me to do the looting myself, but my men don't know etiquette, and I'm afraid that the methods will be bloody. ”
"You ......"
"The owner of this island has always done things neatly, His Majesty the Emperor only needs to answer me, do you choose to cooperate or not?"
Emperor Horikawa was suddenly driven to a dead end, cooperated, Japan was stripped out, did not cooperate, and turned into a pile of rotten meat!
Thinking of Fujiwara Shishimi's rolling head, that hideous appearance, Emperor Horikawa's body couldn't help but tremble even more, and his face was blue and white for a while.
In the face of death, how many people can be calm?
Taira Masamori here also understands what it will mean to the Hei family if Yang Yi chooses to cooperate with Emperor Horikawa!
Originally, the Heike family and Emperor Horikawa belonged to two camps, and just now he asked Yang Yi about cooperation, which was tantamount to once again forcing Emperor Horikawa to death; Once Yang Yi cooperated with Emperor Horikawa, it would be the turn of the Heike family to exterminate the family.
"Lord Yang, I, I, have cooperated with Your Excellency and unconditionally accept the terms proposed by Lord Yang."
Sure enough, only with competition can there be motivation, progress, and a happy life.
Seeing this situation, Lord Yang Dadao was very satisfied, very satisfied.
He brought Emperor Horikawa and the Heike together to discuss cooperation, in addition to this competitive effect, but also to sow an inextricable hatred between the Heike and Emperor Horikawa, and create a better situation for better control of the two in the future.
Emperor Horikawa is still young, and he doesn't want to die yet. Therefore, this negotiation quickly had a result, and it was the result that Yang Yi wanted; Yang Yi would support Emperor Horikawa to control power and part of the military power in Japan, while the Heike would control most of the military power.
The treaty was drawn up according to the three major terms prescribed by Yang Yi, and each person signed his name, pressed his handprint, and stamped the emperor's imperial seal.
Under absolute power, an impossible treaty was signed, similar to a series of treaties signed by the Qing court that humiliated the country.
I'm also a great power, and it feels good to be a great power!
Holding a signed treaty, Lord Yang couldn't help but sigh.
Taira Masamori, as the official of the upper north, will lead the northern samurai of Emperor Shirakawa, with the assistance of Yang Yi's "demon army", to take over the power of the Fujiwara family in the Kanto region.
How to loot gold and silver, of course, must also be up to him; His family will all stay in Heiankyo as hostages, in fact, this is just a show, if Heimasamai dares to use his brains, Japan is such a small place, it is not difficult to make a special trip to clean him up.
As for how Emperor Horikawa selects his ministers, Yang Yi doesn't bother to care, no matter how you get it, it's two dogs, if I let you eat, you don't want to eat meat.
to open the country, what residents of the Diaoyu Islands are allowed to come to Japan freely to trade; Emperor Horikawa did not even bargain for the two terms of ceding Iwami of the mountain ** and Satsuma and Osumi of Saikaido; These two places are not necessarily important to Japan now, and the Japanese imperial court does not have strong control over these places; At present, Iwami, Satsuma, and Osumi are actually in the hands of the Daimyo, and for Emperor Horikawa, whose life and death are in the hands of the lord of Yang Oshima, he does not feel very distressed about ceding these places.
What he felt distressed about was the six words "40,000 taels of silver".
40,000 taels of silver is a lot, but Yang Yi is sure that Japan can afford to pay it. Even if you can't afford to pay now, you can let your children and grandchildren pay for it!
There are many volcanoes in Japan, and while volcanoes bring disasters, they often generate a large amount of gold and silver minerals; By the time of the Ming Dynasty, due to massive mining, Japan's annual silver production reached 200 tons at its peak, and gold production was so large that Marco Polo called Japan the land of gold.
Yang Yi brought 200 experienced "experts" in prospecting and training this time, which will surely set off a boom in gold and silver mining in Japan.
How did Ping Zhengsheng deal with the Fujiwara family Yang Yi didn't know, when he came to the Fujiwara family mansion located on the east side of the imperial city, Ruoda's mansion had been cleaned up, except for some servants who were waiting, and he could no longer see the children of the Fujiwara family.
The Fujiwara family controlled the Japanese government for decades, and the mansion was built almost as much as the imperial palace, which was extremely extravagant; The tall courtyard walls, rows of houses, rockery ponds in the garden, pavilions and corridors are all available, which not only have many Tang architectural styles, but also incorporate many Japanese architectural elements; The most common cherry blossom trees in the courtyard are in full bloom, and if the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the courtyard must be beautiful, but there is no need to regret that the maple trees on the side of the wall are already red, reflecting the white clouds outside the wall, which is also elegant and beautiful.
The business is almost done, Yang Yi can rest assured.
After a few days, Heiankyo really regained stability, and then sent someone to pick up Qingniang, so that she could enjoy the scenery of Japan, and by the way, take her to the hot springs, it would be a pity not to soak in the hot springs in Japan.
The main house where Yang Yi lived was tall and spacious, and the outermost layer of the door was a bamboo curtain with silk trim. Sticking to the drape is a silk curtain with a pattern of flowers and birds on the outside and white on the inside.
The curtains and screens in the house, the calligraphy and paintings on the couch are extremely comfortable, and it is worth mentioning that the Japanese screens are exquisitely crafted and very pleasing to the eye.
After Wang Yong and others, who accompanied Yang Yi into the house, withdrew, the door curtain was lifted again, and four women wearing Baochai on their heads, covering their faces with folding fans, and wearing the most gorgeous "Tang clothes" walked out.
After coming in, the four of them lined up and knelt in front of Lord Yang Dadao.
When Japanese women meet their husbands on weekdays, they have to cover their faces with fans to show respect, which Yang Dadao still knows.
Unable to see the faces of the four people, he first admired the Tang clothes on the four people.
The dress of the Tang Dynasty is the most solemn dress of the Japanese aristocratic women, from top to bottom are the Tang clothes, clothes, dresses, dresses, etc., layer after layer, because it absorbs a lot of elements of Tang Dynasty women's clothing, it looks extremely luxurious and gorgeous.
After admiring it carefully, Lord Yang said lightly: "Take the fan away!" ”
The four women hesitated, and they didn't dare to resist the "killer demon king" of Yang Dadao Lord, so they had to slowly take the fan away.
"Ahh
Lord Yang suddenly let out a scream, Wang Yong and the others thought that something was going on, and rushed in quickly, the crescent moon treasure knife in his hand shining with cold light.
"My lord, what happened?"
"Look at them!" Lord Yang Dadao pointed to the four women below like a ghost.
These four women are pale, only a little red on their lips, not really like ghosts! Wang Yong: They don't seem to feel that there is anything wrong.
Lord Yang Dadao yelled angrily: "Drag it down......"
As soon as he said this, two of the four women fainted with fright, and the other two were trembling.
What's wrong with this? It's not that it's dragged down and cut, as for it!
Lord Yang said innocently: "Take it down, wash your face and then let me see a little powder on my face, and then cut it!" ”
The feelings are like this, Wang Yong and the others looked at each other, secretly funny.
They called in a few maidens and helped the four women down.
When the four women came in after washing their faces, Lord Yang couldn't help but light up; Four beautiful faces, competing for beauty, competing for fragrance.
The one on the far left of them is very much like the actress named Kyoko Fukada in later generations.
Lord Yang couldn't help but ask her, "What's your name?" ”
"Sadako Fujiwara." She replied in slightly jerky Chinese, her face not covered by white powder, and her expression of fear was revealed.
Yang Yi didn't know, but after asking, he understood who the four people Lu Zhen and the others got were who, this Fujiwara Sadako was the daughter of Prime Minister Fujiwara Shitong; The second long-standing female queen on the left is the favorite female queen of the White River (the female queen is the second title of the queen); The third is Prince Reikonai, the second daughter of Emperor Shirakawa.
The fourth is Prince Reiko's younger sister, Prince Zhenziuchi.
The current practice in Little Japan is that the princess is also a prince, not a princess.
Yang Yi knew very well what Lu Zhen had done to the Japanese Imperial Palace and aristocratic women, and he had no intention of stopping it, so he could do it as much as he wanted!
In addition to soaking in hot springs, there are naturally fewer women who don't soak in Japan.
They sent these four most prominent beauties to themselves, and the lord of Yang Dadao naturally would not live up to their good intentions, these people followed themselves out to pretend to be robbers, it was not easy, since they were robbers, they had to look like robbers.
