Chapter 353: Seppuku suicide
The whole process, no one dissuaded, and the Japanese warriors of the envoy group did not stop him, and to stop him at this time was to put himself to death.
After Konishi Ruan's seppuku ceremony was completed, Yanagi took a step forward and slashed at the back of his neck with a knife.
Ye Gucheng stretched out his sword to block, and with a "dang" sound, Liu Sheng Zongju looked at Ye Gucheng in shock.
Ye Gucheng said lightly: "A real warrior doesn't need to be the wrong person."
Seppuku is a very painful process, and it will take a long time to die after seppuku. In order to reduce the suffering of seppuku, the "wrong person" was created. The "Wrong Person" held a knife next to the seppuku, and after the seppuku was completed, the Wrong Person cut off the head of the seppuku person, causing the seppuku to die immediately.
Konishi Ruan died to protect the remaining samurai, and Yagyu did not mind acting as this "mischief" and cutting off his head with his own hands to reduce his suffering.
But Ye Gucheng didn't give him this opportunity, which made Liu Sheng Zongju both shocked and angry. What is surprising is that Ye Gucheng knows the spirit of bushido very well, and he is angry that Ye Gucheng will not let people die in peace.
Ye Gucheng just looked at the seppuku like this and said, "I am a man of my word, and the rest of the people can live."
Konishi Ruan fell forward, blood spilling down the blade on the land. He gritted his teeth, clearly feeling the loss of life, and wondered if he regretted this trip to the Central Plains in his heart.
The Japanese people looked at Ye Gucheng with a hint of awe, virtue has never been able to move warriors like them, only violence is their belief.
The blood was almost gone, and the emperor was late.
This kind of thing should not have been handled by the emperor personally, but the reward he received was that Shi Xing, the secretary of the military department, was useless in front of Ye Gucheng. And the emperor understands Ye Gucheng's personality, and if he doesn't come forward, he can really kill everyone. But the emperor's exit from the palace is not a trivial matter after all, and when he arrives, the matter is over.
As soon as the emperor arrived, Shi Xing, Jin Jiuling and the like immediately knelt down, and the onlookers, officers, soldiers, and people also knelt down. Among those who were still standing, in addition to the Fusang envoys, the only Han people were Ye Gucheng.
Looking at the bloody scene, the emperor's face was gloomy, and among the many kneeling figures, Ye Gucheng stood proudly, which seemed very special.
Looking at Ye Gucheng, who had suffered such a catastrophe, his face was still full of indifference, and the emperor's mood could be imagined.
The battle of the country was not ideal, and in the face of a small country, many internal problems were exposed. Now not only Toyotomi Hideyoshi wants to negotiate peace, but he also wants to negotiate peace. War is the most costly national effort, and it is really not worth fighting for the sake of Korea and the Japanese state. There is also Mongolia in the north that needs to be watched all the time, and there are constant conflicts.
The reason for the matter is already very clear to the emperor, Ye Gucheng is really making a big fuss, ignoring the major affairs of the country, and giving himself a big problem.
The emperor's face was very gloomy, so gloomy that Shi Xing didn't dare to come forward to sue Ye Gucheng. The emperor also lost his previous affection for Ye Gucheng, and did not call him "Master" anymore.
The scene fell silent for a moment.
Holding Ye Gucheng accountable is not a top priority, the most important thing at present is what to do to negotiate peace.
Above the main hall, in addition to the emperor and Ye Gucheng, there were Jin Jiuling, Shi Xing, and the translator scribe.
At this time, Ye Gucheng also knew that this scribe was Shen Weijing, the representative of the negotiation and negotiation. ….
The Emperor asked in a deep voice, "What should we do next?"
Shi Xing is the secretary of the Ministry of War, and he is also the master of the peace faction, and he is the main one to discuss peace, but Ye Gucheng has done things like this, does the black cauldron want to let himself be carried?
Shi Xing was silent.
It stands to reason that this matter can't be asked about Ye Gucheng, he is not in his position and does not seek his politics, and he doesn't want to ask Ye Gucheng about his crimes, so let him go.
But the emperor has become accustomed to asking Ye Gucheng when he encounters troubles that cannot be solved, as was the case when he was a child.
Although Ye Gucheng had not done a few things for the emperor, everything was quite tricky, which also made the emperor unconsciously let Ye Gucheng participate in it.
Ye Gucheng said: "If the emperor still wants to continue to negotiate peace, I can personally go to Fusang and negotiate on behalf of my Ming Dynasty."
"Huh?"
Everyone was shocked, Ye Gucheng, the culprit, went to Fusang, and he was not already
Thousands of broken corpses!
Shi Xing really hoped that Ye Gucheng could take over the matter of peace negotiations, and Shen Weijing hoped that the emperor would agree to Ye Gucheng's proposal, otherwise he would only be the one who went to Fusang.
During the war years, Shen Weijing was not afraid to go deep into the enemy camp, which was the two countries fighting each other. But now Ye Gucheng doesn't talk about martial arts, he beheaded the "envoy", and if he goes again, there is no reason to live.
But neither of them dared to answer, and everything was up to the emperor to decide.
Jin Jiuling was once again stunned by Ye Gucheng's thoughts, although it was said that "if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger", but Ye Gucheng is "left to death and has no life", and he can't see the way to go deep into the enemy camp at all.
Ye City Lord is inevitably too strong! And with his teacher-student relationship with the emperor, isn't this the emperor's army?
And what does the emperor's silence mean? Want to agree? The signal here is so unusual.
The emperor was silent for a long time, shook his head and said, "No, the Japanese are barbaric and cruel, and the master cannot be in danger."
Jin Jiuling let out a sigh of relief, this was the first time the emperor called "Master" after the fact.
Shen Weijing was shocked, do you still want to go by yourself? He has been a representative of the Ming Dynasty since the very beginning of the negotiations in Pyongyang. Under normal circumstances, he should be the one who goes to negotiate with the Japanese state.
Shen Weijing wanted to refuse, but he didn't dare. The emperor's attitude towards Ye Gucheng also made him dare not complain about Ye Gucheng, so he could only cry with a sad face and not say a word.
Shi Xing is looking at the nose with his eyes, nose at the mouth, like an old monk entering the meditation, without any reaction to the outside world.
Ye Gucheng asked, "What will happen if the peace negotiation fails?"
The emperor set his eyes on Shi Xing, he was the secretary of the military department, and he should answer.
Shi Xing said: "If the peace negotiation fails, the war will start again, and the national strength can't withstand such a toss anymore."
The implication is that "harmony" is the most important, and it is Ye Gucheng who has pushed the country into such a difficult situation.
Ye Gucheng sneered: "Starting a war with a small Fusang, the national strength is insufficient, and you big officials should apologize with death."
"You!"
Shi Xing was furious, he only saved face for Ye Gucheng because of the emperor's face, Ye Gucheng actually had to inch in and make a lot of nonsense in front of the emperor.
The emperor's face was also ugly.
Jin Jiuling was even more surprised.
Although Ye Gucheng has always been very cold, never used his identity as an emperor, and was not affectionate to the emperor, he has never spoken so sharply, especially in front of the emperor.
As early as when he helped the emperor check the prince of Taiping, he mentioned Fusang, and Jin Jiuling found that Ye Gucheng seemed to have a lot of opinions about the Japanese people, and when he mentioned them, he would be less calm and more angry.
