Chapter 154: Where Did the Emperor Go?
After the Japanese envoy Dong Changyuan left, Zhu Qiyu summoned Cao Nai and others to the Wenhua Palace.
"This king has decided to issue a credential to the Wa State in the name of the imperial court, ordering it to strictly investigate smuggling at sea and help me to suppress the Wa, what do you think?"
When Zhu Qiyu spoke, he changed his indecisive appearance in the past, and his tone was very decisive.
Cao Nai and the others glanced at each other, and then said, "It should be like this!" ”
If we can cut off the channel for selling the stolen goods from the root, it is equivalent to fighting a war without supplies, and then sending troops to suppress the Japanese will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
Zhang Yi said thoughtfully: "Weichen is worried that most of the Japanese kingdoms will be false and wronged, and they will accept it on the surface, but behind the scenes, they will continue to secretly support the Japanese ......."
"It's easy to do!"
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Zhu Qiyu said: "The so-called capture of the thief first captures the king, directly issued an order, and ordered the guards to go to the Japanese country immediately to warn the lord of the country, if the other party ignores it, don't blame me for the Ming soldiers to set foot on the Japanese country, so that there will be no more Japanese troubles!" ”
Cao Nai gasped, when did His Royal Highness become so aggressive?
Just for the sake of some Japanese who are wandering along the coast, directly declare war on the Japanese state?
What's more, those thieves are all outlaws who have been exiled overseas from the territory of the Japanese Kingdom, and it is reasonable that people can't control it......
"Your Highness's proposal...... When it comes to the diplomacy of the two countries, should it be submitted to the emperor before making a decision? ”
Zhu Qiyu said with an unkind face: "Even if it is to present the emperor, we as courtiers should also take out a charter, Cao Ge Lao, the matter of sending troops to suppress the widows will be handed over to the cabinet and the military department, and a charter will be taken out as soon as possible, and this king will go to present it to the emperor." ”
Cao Nai is very entangled, it stands to reason that as long as the six ministries and the cabinet hand over the charter, the matter is basically decided, what we just said is to talk to the emperor and ask the emperor what he means, but he didn't say that he suggested going to war......
Zhu Qiyu didn't feel anything wrong at all, looked at a few people and said, "Could it be that you think it's inappropriate?" ”
Cao Nai frowned and said, "In that case...... Is it overreacting? ”
If you don't figure out anything, you're going to someone, it's too ruthless!
Zhu Qiyu asked rhetorically: "Since Elder Cao Ge thinks it's inappropriate, you might as well talk about it, how do you plan for the trouble of the Japanese Invaders?" ”
Cao Nai coughed, and then said: "Xia Guan just thinks that it is too much to mobilize the people, and besides, if the time comes, ...... My Ming Dynasty is not good, and it is difficult for the court to ride a tiger, so what should I do? Although the Wa Kingdom is poor and weak, it is not a fuel-efficient lamp. What's more, the Japanese Kingdom and my Ming Dynasty face each other across the sea, and just because of the sporadic Japanese invaders, they will make a big conquest, isn't it...... Too aggressive? ”
This is not wrong, from the perspective of Shousuke, we cannot fight and kill at every turn, but we must take into account the interests of the entire country.
Gao Hub followed closely and said: "Xia Guan also thinks that it should be considered thoroughly, and slowly figure it out." ”
The three of them all feel that King Yu is a bit too much, if the emperor says so, everyone can still discuss and discuss, but after all, you are only a prison country, and the emperor has not spoken, you are shouting for war, what will the ministers of the court and the central government think?
What will the emperor think?
Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said: "If this is the case, I am afraid that this problem of the Japanese will never be solved, no matter how the Ming Dynasty suppresses the Japanese people, they will kill a batch of them, and in the end, they will waste money and food in vain, and they will be overwhelmed." ”
Cao Nai and the others glanced at each other, and the word helplessness was written on everyone's faces.
Fighting a war means innumerable money and food, and it will also be related to the attitude of neighboring countries, whether the Ming is famous, and all kinds of other cumbersome questions, which are indeed head-scratching.
However, if left unchecked, it is not a matter for the Japanese to go ashore every once in a while to harass them.
Thinking of this, Cao Nai seemed to compromise a little, and said: "You can first issue an order to apply for the battle, and if the attitude of the Japanese state is sincere, then proceed to the next step of negotiation, if not, then consider the matter of going on the expedition." ”
Zhu Qiyu nodded and said, "Put a will over there to the envoy of the Japanese State, and severely punish his mistakes!" ”
Cao Nai felt more and more that the king seemed to want to expand the situation, and the application was the application for the punishment, and he was also ruthless, this was because he was worried that the two countries would not be able to fight?
The emperor is jumping to fight Annan, and you are going to fight the Japanese country, you brothers can really do it!
First of all, if the Japanese state does not react, it will inevitably be a more severe application, but what if the Japanese country is still the same as me?
Is there really going to be a fight?
The three of them were a little speechless for a moment, my Daming has always been a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, when did he become so belligerent?
So far, there is no good way but to take one step at a time.
Back at Wenyuan Pavilion, the three of them began to look at each other, staring at each other with wide eyes.
After a long time, the scribe served hot tea, Cao Nai picked up the tea bowl and said, "Two, don't sit still, according to what King Yu said, prepare the charter." ”
Gao Hub said: "If the Wa Kingdom is still the same as me, and I am Da Mingwei, is Da Ming really to the point of conquest?" Our army has not fought a naval battle for many years since the ban on the sea, can the sailors be available? ”
Zhang Yi also frowned and said: "I heard that the Japanese people are brave and ruthless, even if it is a group of wandering warriors who go to the sea, their combat power is quite amazing, otherwise, the southeast will not cause the Japanese people to suffer for a hundred years." The Japanese have already made the imperial court uneasy, but it is even more difficult to think of the great Japanese country, and it is really worrying to have a war. ”
The three of them were chatting, and Chen Ruyan, the left attendant of the military department, arrived.
"I've seen Lord Cao, I've seen Master Zhang, I've seen my teacher!"
Gao Hub nodded and said, "Ruyan, you came just in time!" ”
Chen Ruyan is Gao Hub's student, and the two have a close relationship on weekdays, so Gao Hub told the story before and after.
"Your Highness wants to send troops to the Japanese Kingdom?"
After Gao Hub finished speaking, Chen Ruyan was taken aback.
Just came back from Mobei, and the matter of Annan has not been clarified yet, and now there is a war again?
What are you doing?
Is it easy for our military department, this day is ......
"Why don't the three adults persuade you, this battle...... Do you say that you will fight? ”
Gao Hub waved his hand and said: "I didn't say that I wanted to fight, I first issued an order to apply for punishment, and then depending on the attitude of the Japanese country, your military department will first take out a charter, just in case." ”
"However, Lord Yu went to Huai'an Mansion, and he was worried about ......."
Gao Hub was dissatisfied: "If Yu Qian is not here, you won't be able to do things?" ”
Chen Ruyan thought about it, and finally sighed and said: "Okay, the Ministry of War has full authority to cooperate, but when the charter is brought to the emperor, the three adults must persuade it, national affairs, not child's play!" ”
"Don't worry, we know it!"
Chen Ruyan saluted, and then turned around and walked out of Wenyuan Pavilion.
The three of them continued to stare at each other, and after a while, Cao Nai suddenly said, "That's not right! ”
Gao Hub asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"What about the emperor? These days...... Who saw the emperor? ”
