Chapter 121: Deceit
In Kyoto, Ye Zhao is very familiar with Emperor Xiaoming, and the two visit each other, and the topics are becoming more and more extensive.
The night before Ye Zhao was about to leave Kyoto, Emperor Xiaomei even held a banquet in Changda to entertain Ye Zhao, and Ye Zhao did not bring Reedium Iori to the banquet.
After drinking a few glasses of Kobe sake at the banquet, Emperor Xiaomei told his bitterness with feeling, no one told him the truth since he was a child, as if he really regarded Ye Zhao as a close friend.
The bamboo forest outside the hall rustled softly, if you want to say that the palace is called, Ye Zhao next to him doesn't feel anything, but the word quiet can be said to have three flavors.
Ye Zhao didn't say much to Xiaoming, just smiled and tasted wine, but drank a few more glasses with him.
Halfway through Ye Zhao got up to go to the toilet, under the guidance of a beautiful attendant, he passed through a row of verdant cypress trees along the white gravel path, and in front of him was the corridor that connected the palace houses, Ye Zhao shook his head slightly, it was so inconvenient to go to the toilet.
Beside him, Bai Laoheng has been following Ye Zhao closely, never leaving an inch, which is quite a bit of Guan Gong's going to the meeting.
Walking in the wooden corridor, he turned a few corners, and suddenly there was a bang, Ye Zhao collided with someone, he was an extremely thin person, stumbling backwards, and almost fell.
Ye Zhao looked at it, but saw that it was a little girl in a black kimono, only ten years old, with beautiful eyebrows and refined eyes, noble temperament, colorful buns on her head, and the red brocade belt around her waist was extremely gorgeous, and she was not as tall as Hua Ji, but she looked at herself with a serious face, and muttered something.
The attendant who followed Ye Zhao's side had already bowed down and replied in words.
The little girl looked at Ye Zhao with a majestic face, but it inexplicably reminded Ye Zhao of Rong'er, she and Rong'er have a striking similarity, but Rong'er's majesty is for outsiders to see, let alone be so domineering.
The sake was a little high, and the wind blew a little on it, Ye Zhao smiled and said to the attendant: "This little girl is very cute, it's your royal princess, right?" You'll have to call me uncle. ”
"Bold!" The little girl's eyes widened, like a little hedgehog, and she glared at Ye Zhao viciously, but she spoke Chinese.
Ye Zhao was very close to her, and when she reprimanded her, she couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and stretched out his hand to have a brain crash according to her small head, and said, "It's not big, it's not small!" ”
The sound of "pop" was extremely crisp, the little girl covered her head, looked at Ye Zhao angrily and surprised, her mouth was chattering, and soon four or five sword-wielding attendants burst out of the shadows.
The interpreter was startled, shouting loudly again and again, the little girl frowned and stared at Ye Zhao, and several attendants who were eager to try listened to the interpreter's words, and they were even more at a loss, holding the handle of the knife, and they didn't know whether to pull it out or not. I think the interpreter said Ye Zhao's identity.
Bai Laoheng had already blocked in front of Ye Zhao, and the tower-like man was obviously half a cut taller than those attendants.
The little girl suddenly turned around, her little body stepped on small steps, as if floating in the corridor, Ye Zhao almost laughed out loud, this is to be seen in the middle of the night, I have to think it is a female ghost.
I thought of the elusive kimono heroines in the anime.,Suddenly appeared behind her.,A few vertical lines representing embarrassment are drawn on the door of the head.,Dialogue with the male protagonist in a tone without a trace of emotional change.,Cute and weird.,She can definitely bring people this feeling.。
The attendants quickly disappeared into the darkness, and the interpreter and attendant wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads and said to Ye Zhao: "Yes, it is the princess of the He Palace, and the royal sister of the emperor today." "He was really scared just now, if the regent had less hair, he wouldn't want his head.
Ah, Wamiya. Ye Zhao rubbed his nose, he was famous, but he didn't want to be a little ghost.
Back in the dining room of Changda, the attendants didn't dare to tell the emperor what had just happened, and Ye Zhao wouldn't mention it, so he felt that it was rude.
"Your Highness, I have a reluctant request, can I send a group of soldiers to China to receive excellent military training from your military academy." Emperor Mingxiao suddenly stared at Ye Zhao and asked.
This guy is more sober than himself, and, in probing his own bottom, Ye Zhao's face was silent, and his heart was bright, history records that this Emperor Mingxiao is relatively confused, stubborn, and supports the shogunate at one time, and supports the shogunate at the same time, and his surname is changeable, but if you want to treat him as a simple person, it would be a big mistake.
This has to be rejected in one bite, and the Chinese are about to come out of the wolf ambition of Yuben, promise him, help him train Yuben's officers, can they not raise tigers? At least, now is not the time.
The Dutch teacher was defeated, and he immediately set his sights on a more powerful teacher, enterprising, hardworking, and being able to clearly understand the strengths of others and their own shortcomings, which is the driving force for the progress of this nation.
Thousands of thoughts flashed through Ye Zhao's heart, and he smiled: "I am happy to provide Your Majesty with any help, the quota of your [***] official corps, etc., just talk to my consul in detail, and I will ask him to help." ”
Emperor Xiaoming elegantly raised his glass: "Your Highness, let's toast." ”
At the end of the banquet, Tadayoshi Sakai, the military attache of the shogunate, reported that a carriage disguised as the regent had been attacked at Nishi Honganji Temple, and that 37 assassins had either been killed or captured.
The current emperor is just a symbol, that is the slightest authority, more like a kind of god without human identity, Kyoto's ashigaru and fire gun, are all owned by the shogunate, and the Kyoto office is the official of the shogunate to maintain the security of Kyoto.
Now that the emperor is weak, Ye Zhao has lived in Kyoto for a few more days, the powerful figure of Ii Naobi has not been assassinated and killed, and it is not so simple for the Shogunate faction to form a corner with the Shogunate, Ye Zhao wants to add some firewood to the Shogunate faction and the royal family, so as not to discourage them, and this fire will be extinguished.
Ye Zhao lives in Nijo Castle, this news is not a big secret, thinking that the most active new team in Kyoto has long been eyeing the regent of the southern country, and even planned this ambush.
However, it is a pity that every time Ye Zhao returns to Nijo Castle from the Imperial Palace, Sakai Tadayoshi always chooses the most loyal samurai to disguise himself as the Chinese regent and set off from the Imperial Palace in advance, like a hunter's bait, causing the rebel group to lose its way.
Sakai Tadayoshi was loyal to the shogunate's mission, protecting the regent of the Southern Dynasty at all costs.
In fact, the Shingumi were a samurai organization that was extremely loyal to the shogunate, and in addition to resisting the Chinese invasion, they also dealt with the shogunate fighters and planned several assassinations of the daimyo of the shogunate.
The bloody battle with the Shinshomi assassins made Sakai Tadayoshi very uncomfortable, but he still carried out the strict orders conveyed by the shogunate to the letter.
"Your Highness, please rest assured, our country will definitely step up efforts to eliminate the chaotic parties in various places." Emperor Mingxiao frowned very tightly, although it was an aborted assassination operation, but in Kyoto, someone wanted to assassinate the Chinese regent, this matter can be big or small.
Ye Zhao nodded slightly, and didn't say anything.
