In the third century, the Japanese leader was called "Wang" or "Jun", and around the 4th-5th TT9 was set up in the Yamato region, and its leader was renamed "Okai". Around the 7th century, during the reign of Prince Shotoku, the 17 Articles of the Constitution were promulgated, and at that time, under the influence of Confucianism in China, the Great King was changed to the Emperor.

During the reign of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, Prince Shotoku of Yamato sent Ono Meiko as an envoy to the Sui Dynasty, and the phrase "Emperor of the East respects the Emperor of the West" was included in the national letter, which was the first time that the word "Emperor" was used in a diplomatic setting. However, the Chinese Book of Sui records this national letter as "the Son of Heaven at sunrise to the Son of Heaven at sunset". It should be due to the fact that in accordance with the provisions of the "Great Treasure Order", the Japanese Shoki changed the terms "Great-king", "Maharaja", and "Emperor-honored" in historical materials to "Emperor".

Since then, the Japanese royal family has always referred to him as the emperor, rendering him a descendant of Amaterasu, and changing the chronology to prove that the emperor's succession comes from the Wanyo lineage.

Tokugawa Tsunayoshi is not a good bird, in short, he is boasting about exaggerating how the emperor is respected in Japan, claiming to be the emperor of the kingdom of heaven and the like, hoping to stimulate the Ming Emperor, who has always been the only one. The Japanese emperor is so rude, he doesn't serve the Son of Heaven with a courtier, you are the Ming Dynasty, don't you knock and knock? Even if you don't knock it, at least you should cut off contact, as long as the general's lineage can be preserved, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi will kill you as an emperor.

Zhu Jun deliberately frowned, looking surprised: "What does the general mean is that the king of Japan is called lonely in the east?" Is it self-proclaimed to the son of the rising sun? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Tokugawa Tsunayoshi hurriedly nodded in confirmation, secretly happy in his heart, so that the Ming Emperor would not go to Kyoto.

"Arrogance!" Zhu Jun was 'furious': "How can this be reasonable, the island country dares to call itself the Son of Heaven, it is too rude." ”

"Your Majesty." Tokugawa Tsunayoshi continued to add firewood to the fire with a 'grievance' face: "Because of this, the subordinates dare not invite the emperor to come, even if they do, His Royal Highness the Emperor is very proud of himself, and he is definitely unwilling to deign to go to the Ryukyus to meet him. ”

Zhu Jun sneered in his heart, interesting, so interesting, if Zhu Jun really didn't know the inside story of Japan, if he was another emperor, I am afraid that he would have deceived this dwarf and would be loyal, but this is okay, I just used a little means to let you do things for me loyally.

Zhu Jun suddenly stopped being angry, and stood tall in front of the case: "Japan has always been obedient, and it paid tribute as a vassal in the Han Dynasty, I can't listen to your words, what evidence do you have?" ”

Tokugawa Tsunayoshi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty will find someone to ask at will, even the king of the Ryukyus also knows, but the emperor thinks that the emperor is far away, and intends to deceive the Ming emperors of the past dynasties.

”

Zhu Jun nodded. shouted towards the outside of the hall: "Xuanzhong Mountain King Shangzhi enters the hall." ”

Zhu Jun has retreated left and right. Therefore, there were only him and Tokugawa Tsunayoshi in the temple. Fortunately, the Zhongshan Palace is too small. Daxing Hall is just a big living room. The attendants outside the hall heard it immediately. Hurriedly went to invite Zhongshan King Shangzhen.

A moment of effort. With a respectful face, he hurriedly came in with the python robe given by the Ming Emperor. He bowed: "The ministers have seen the emperor." ”

Zhu Jun asked about the emperor's affairs. Shang Chi glanced at Tokugawa Tsunayoshi. I don't know why I brought it up. So he hurriedly reported the truth.

Only then did Zhu Jun pretend to believe it. waved his hand to let Shang Zhi retreat outside the hall and wait. Looking at Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, he said, "The head of the general's land is the rebel king of Japan." Why do you want to report this to me?

Tokugawa Tsunayoshi saw that the provocation was successful, and thought that the Ming and the emperor were cut off, so he made a respectful look and said: "Although the subordinate is a courtier of the emperor, he is also a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, and the subordinate is one and two kings, although it is a rebellion, but it is also a last resort, and the subordinate will die, please forgive your majesty." ”

Zhu Jun sighed: "The general is really loyal, he wants to rebel against the king of Japan, and he wants to be a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, and he is embarrassed by the general." ”

Tokugawa hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, how can the subordinate be loyal and righteous, it's really just a harsh minister." ”

"Come quickly, declare my will." Zhu Jun shouted outside the hall again, and after a while, several attendants hurriedly came in.

"Spread my will, the Japanese general Tokugawa Tsunayoshi is the king of Japan, and give the gold seal letter and the Danshu iron scroll, but there is a Ming day, the Tokugawa heirs can rule Japan with the gold seal, and if their heirs can keep the way of the ministers, no matter what crime they commit, they can be spared death with the Danshu iron scroll, and give another 500 taels of gold and 5,000 taels of silver." Zhu Jun opened quite attractive conditions, and now the Ming sailors come and go, once there is this will, the Tokugawa shogunate is equivalent to hugging a giant tree, as long as the tree does not fall, the Tokugawa family will always be able to enjoy the shadow of the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty Emperor Xie, long live Your Majesty the Emperor, long live long live!" Tokugawa Tsunayoshi very much hopes that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty will live the Ming Dynasty, and the shogunate will follow the Banzai, Banzai, Banzai, Banzai. The old man has a good idea

Emperor Zi Daming had a bad relationship with the emperor, and he let the shogunate get it like this

Zhu Jun's benefits are not taken for nothing, after the decree was promulgated, Zhu Jun clapped his hands, and behind the Daxing Palace, a thin white-faced waiter walked out steadily carrying a hardwood bookboard and a brush, and saluted Zhu Jun with an expressionless face.

Tokugawa Tsunayoshi's face turned pale, didn't he just retreat? How did another person come out of the apse?

Zhu Jun comforted him and said: "The general doesn't need to panic, this is my living officer, and he must follow me to record his daily life at any time in order to seal the file, and then enter it into the Ming Shilu in the future." ”

Tokugawa Tsunayoshi's face looked a little better, as the heir of the shogunate, he still understood the customs of the Celestial Empire, and there were indeed such eunuchs in the emperor's court.

Zhu Jun turned his head sideways and asked the eunuch who remembered his life: "Have you recorded the conversation between Fang Caizhen and General Tokugawa?" ”

The clerk hurriedly said, "Write it down." ”

"That's good!" Zhu Jun smiled and fell on the stunned Tokugawa Tsunyoshi: "General Tokugawa, I still don't believe it, it's better for General Tokugawa to sign and draw a pledge." ”

Zhu Jun nodded towards the living officer: "Go, give the file of the conversation to the general." ”

The magistrate hurriedly sorted out the content of the conversation, spread it under Tokugawa Tsunakishi's lap, and handed him pen and ink. Tokugawa Tsunyoshi's mood suddenly fell to the bottom, in this dialogue he had a lot of disrespect to the emperor, and fabricated some facts, if it was spread, it was really unimaginable, you know, in the hearts of the Japanese people, the emperor is the heir of Amaterasu, and no one will be allowed to slander, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi is a general of Zhengyi, and he does not dare to do such a thing, let alone say such words in front of the Ming Emperor?

"What? Could the Tokugawa shogun try to deny it? Zhu Jun frowned, the benefits were given, of course this note had to be left, the surname Zhu had been an emperor for hundreds of years, but he had not been a good person for hundreds of years.

"Your Majesty, this... What's the use, if you don't sign the signature, there will be no reward, and look at the current situation, Emperor Ming will definitely be furious, what the consequences are, he doesn't dare to bear it.

"The general doesn't need to panic, I won't send this thing to Japan, I just enjoy it at leisure." Zhu Jun calmly put his hands behind his back, smiled and took the tea Ming brought by the waiter, blowing the tea foam.

Admire? Tokugawa Tsunayoshi didn't believe Zhu Jun's nonsense, and now that the arrow was on the line, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi knew that he had no room to think, the Emperor and the Ming Emperor, neither side could turn their faces, but he could only choose one now.

At this time, the sound of spurs of military boots came from outside the hall, and dozens of Zhongshan soldiers and Ming warriors with fire cymbals rushed into the hall under the leadership of Shang Zhen: "Your Majesty the Emperor, what happened?" ”

Zhu Jun waved his hand: "It's okay, retreat outside the hall." ”

Shang Zhi glanced at Tokugawa Tsunayoshi with murderous intent, and with a wave of his big hand, dozens of soldiers immediately retreated outside the hall with Shang Zhi.

It's over, so many samurai are guarding the entrance of the palace, I'm afraid that I can't even save my own life at this moment, what else is there to say, hurry up and hug the thick legs, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi gritted his teeth: "The subordinates are willing to sign and draw." After finishing speaking, he rolled up his wide sleeves, took the brush, and wrote the nine characters of 'Tokugawa Tsunayoshi' on the top of the living note.

"Aiqing, please hurry up, come, put things away." Zhu Jun's smile was even stronger, and he helped Tokugawa Tsunayoshi up, and the living officer on the side hurriedly put away the signed and drawn 'confession'.

With this evidence, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi is equivalent to completely turning his face with the emperor, if he doesn't listen to Zhu Jun's words, once this material is sent to Japan, then the entire country of Japan will be in an uproar, and Tokugawa Tsunayoshi will be impossible to resist even if he is a shogun, unless there is the support of the Ming Dynasty behind him.

"I have seen the loyalty of the Tokugawa general, from now on, the Ming Kingdom is the permanent protector of the Tokugawa family, anyone who dares to disrespect the shogunate is tantamount to provoking the Ming Dynasty, and my millions of tigers and wolves will definitely spare no effort to sweep away all rebellions for the Tokugawa general." What Zhu Jun said in his mouth was high-sounding, so that Tokugawa Tsunayoshi felt a little comfort, and the emperor turned his face, what is the use of asking the people's hearts, even if there is a rebellion in the future, there will be the assistance of the Ming army.

"Your Majesty, from now on, your subordinates will no longer be a vassal of His Majesty the Emperor, but a general of the Great Tomorrow Dynasty to guard Japan."

Zhu Jun held Tokugawa Tsunyoshi's hand: "I have already said that I want you to be the king of Japan, and as for the title of general, I will not mention it again in the future." ”

Zhu Jun changed his words, and said: "I have one more thing for you to do, from tomorrow you will go to Kyoto in Japan with the Ming Sailor to read out my will to the Japanese rebel king, if anyone resists......" Zhu Jun cut his neck with his hand and said coldly: "Do you understand?"
