Chapter 652: Kyoto Has Fallen!
Su Peisheng automatically ignored Jiang Zheng's bite and only stared at the part he admitted.
"Write it down, Commander Jiang personally admitted that he had accepted three thousand taels of gold from the Japanese king, and complained that the emperor had given too little money and not enough to spend at all, so he disregarded the law of the country!"
"What?"
Jiang Zhen was blindsided when he heard this, and when he saw the little eunuch outside the door who was brushing and swiping records, he immediately saw sweat on his head.
"Grandpa Su, when will I complain about the emperor?"
"You're framing!"
Su Peisheng snorted coldly when he heard this.
"Who disliked their house just now, and who disliked that they didn't have a carriage when they went out?"
"Our emperor's plan is for you to support your family, but not for you to go out and show off!"
"Besides, you still have a house, we eunuchs don't even have a house, we can only live in a dozen people in the Chase Shop, how have we ever found someone to complain?"
"I ......"
When Jiang Xuan heard this, he knew that he was being held by someone, so he slammed his head against the wall in a hurry.
Seeing this, Su Peisheng hurriedly ordered someone to pull him away.
"Stop!"
"Why do you say that you are also a commander, we didn't punish you. Are you sincerely trying to disgust our family? ”
"I didn't ...... I just want to die......"
Once Su Peisheng handed over his confession, with the old emperor's temper, even if he didn't kill him, he couldn't continue to be the commander.
However, he served as a commander for ten years, and he offended an unknown number of people. Once he loses his authority, will he still have a way to live?
Waiting for others to step on him, it is better to seek death yourself!
Although Jiang Zhen knew his situation very well in his heart, when he was pulled away, his desire for death was a little lighter.
After all, suicide is just an impulsive decision, and few people will be willing to die when they calm down.
However, with the experience just now, Jiang Zhen made up his mind not to say a word, so as not to be caught by these dead eunuchs again.
However, even if he didn't speak, Su Peisheng had a way to rectify him.
"Jiang Xuan, did you privately pass the news to the two rebel kings of Japan, telling them that the guards were lax?"
"Humph!"
Jiang Zhen snorted coldly and deliberately turned him away.
Seeing this, Su Peisheng directly turned his head to the little eunuch outside the door and said.
"Write it down, Commander Jiang acquiesced in delivering the news to the two rebel kings of Japan!"
When Jiang Zhen heard this, he exploded on the spot, pointed at Su Peisheng's nose and scolded.
"Father-in-law Su, you are a bloody spurt, how can this official admit it!"
Su Peisheng said with a smile when he heard this.
"Then when our family asks you, you don't speak, and if you don't speak, it's a default!"
"You!"
"This official has never contacted Gan Ren and Xi Cheng privately."
When Su Peisheng heard this, he raised his orchid fingers.
"Listen to y'all!"
"Commander Jiang made a mouthful of Xicheng, Ganren, and said that he had nothing to do with the two rebel kings, so he deceived the children, giggles......"
"Write down what Commander Jiang just said, don't drop a word, you must let the emperor take a good look at these courtiers he raised!"
"You ......"
Before Jiang Zhen could slow down, he heard Su Peisheng speak again.
"Commander Jiang, you have frequently sent gifts to King Yan in the past few years, do you have to explain this matter?"
"I ......"
Su Peisheng didn't give Jiang Rong much time to think, and directly took out a notebook from his sleeve and said.
"When you celebrated the New Year the year before last, you ordered Chen Qi of the Thousand Households in Beiping to give King Yan a New Year's gift of 1,000 taels of silver. It's the same last year, and this year hasn't come to the New Year, but there is a high probability that it will still be sent......"
As soon as Jiang Zhen heard this, he was immediately bold.
"Father-in-law Su, it's not that this official wants to befriend King Yan, it's really that King Yan's gift to this official every year is heavier, and this official and King Yan are just courtesy!"
Su Peisheng stared at Jiang Zhen coldly when he heard this.
"Gifts?"
"You eat His Majesty's and wear His Majesty's clothes, and you actually have a courtesy relationship with His Majesty's own uncle?"
"You eat dog stuff inside and out, our family can't wait to kill you alive!"
Dongchang has a general grasp of other information, but it is very clear about the information in each palace.
Therefore, Su Peisheng's two pieces of information against Jiang Zhen were both obtained from the palace.
Jiang Zhen didn't know about this, and thought that Dongchang really had such a god, and he unknowingly planted people around him!
"Father-in-law Su!"
"This official has never betrayed Your Majesty, and this official and King Yan are really just courtesy......
"In addition, King Yan is not the only one who gives me gifts, most of the nobles and in-service generals in the capital have received gifts from King Yan, and they also give King Yan gifts in return......"
"The official is afraid of causing trouble, so he only sends silver to return favors......"
“
Su Peisheng was not interested in these words at all, but said coldly.
"You should keep it for your majesty to explain, our family is only responsible for recording your confession!"
"Let's talk about it, who else in the capital has received a gift from King Yan?"
Su Peisheng is not talking nonsense with Jiang Xuan, as the saying goes, capture the thief and capture the king first, first take Jiang Xuan, the commander, and then deal with others It is much simpler.
Even if Jiang Zhen doesn't want to say 10,000, in the face of ironclad evidence, he can only sell his teammates.
When Su Pei was making a big show of the ghosts of Cha Jinyi, in an Arab merchant ship floating on the sea, Yuan Daoyi, Ganren, and Xicheng were planning the arrangements after returning to China.
Hee didn't want to go back to Japan, he felt good in Daming. But he couldn't stand the pry of the other two, and once Da Ming found out that Ganren and Yuan Daoyi had run away, he would definitely be angry with him, so he ran with him.
Ganren was determined to return to Japan to reorganize the dynasty, but he was very worried about the environment in Japan.
Once Gen Daoyi is not of the same mind as himself, he will not be able to do anything in Japan.
Yuan Daoyi also understands this very well, plus he was able to return to China this time, and he still borrowed the light of Ganren, so he owes the other party a favor.
"Your Majesty the Two Emperors, Weichen has a proposal, I don't know if I should talk about it or not!"
Xi Cheng sighed when he heard this.
"It's all at this time, what else should be said or not, what do you like to say."
"The two emperors, now that Japan is in a time of internal and external difficulties, if the north and south of Japan continue to be divided, Japan will have the worry of losing the country."
"Therefore, Wechen implores the two emperors to reconcile and unify the northern and southern dynasties!"
Xicheng looked at Ganren, and when he saw Ganren, he was also surprised, and knew that Yuan Daoyi had not discussed it with him in advance.
"Yes, yes, but if the two dynasties are unified, which dynasty should they belong to?"
When Yuan Daoyi heard Emperor Heecheng say this, he couldn't help but look at Emperor Ganren of the Northern Dynasty.
"Wechen proposes to implement a north-south house system, with the descendants of the two emperors taking turns to serve as emperors!"
As soon as Ganren heard this, he immediately expressed his position.
"I agree!"
"And I am willing to make Hee-sung the first emperor!"
Seeing Gan Ren say this, Xi Cheng couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"The two of us have reached an agreement a long time ago, the Southern Dynasty will return to the Northern Dynasty, and I will no longer serve as the emperor."
"The reason why I asked this is just to see if General Yuan Daoyi's attitude has taken my Southern Dynasty into account."
When Gen Daoyi saw Emperor Heesung say this, he immediately solemnly saluted.
"Emperor Heesung Gaoyi, the whole of Japan will thank you for your kindness!"
"Emperor Ganren, the return of Wechen will promote the unification of the North and South Dynasties, after the unification of the two dynasties, Wechen will pursue the policy of respecting the emperor, unify Japan, and jointly fight against the Ming Dynasty!"
"Against the Ming?"
Ganren and Xicheng showed confusion at the same time, can Daming really be able to compete?
"You look at it, if there is anything that needs my cooperation, I will naturally cooperate......"
Seeing that Emperor Ganhito was lacking in interest, Yuan Daoyi knew that his conditions had not impressed the other party, and he couldn't help but increase his words again.
"Wechen swears that he will return to the emperor after returning to Japan!"
"The whole of Japan will be respected by the emperor, and the ministers will also obey the emperor!"
When Yuan Daoyi said this, not only Ganren was stunned, but even Xichengcheng, who had long since given up the position of emperor, was stunned.
Although there are also constant disputes within their imperial family, they can generally maintain a harmonious face. Compared with this contradiction within the emperor, the contradiction between the emperor and the shogunate is even greater.
The emperor of Japan has not had real power for hundreds of years, right?
If the military and political power can really be recovered in the generation of Ganren, it will be of great significance to the entire Heavenly Emperor family.
"Yuan Daoyi, are you serious?"
"If Weichen has half a lie, let Weichen be buried in the belly of the fisher now!"
Yuan Daoyi made this poisonous oath, which frightened Ganren and Xicheng.
Now that they are in the same boat, Yuan Daoyi is buried in the belly of the fish, and the two of them can still run!
"I don't have to swear such a poisonous oath!"
"I believe in you!"
"If you can really return to power, I promise that I will never kill a single person in your family, and I promise to continue to reuse you and your family, and reserve a hereditary official position for your family!"
"Your Majesty, Thank You, Weichen!"
After the three of them decided on the major policies after returning to China, the next step was to discuss some details.
After more than ten days of sailing, the ship finally arrived in Japan.
The three of them secretly traveled to Kyoto in a carriage at the docks, and Minamoto kept summoning the old department along the way, and by the time they reached the outside of Tokyo, he had already gathered more than 100,000 troops.
The defenders on the walls of Kyoto did not have the slightest timidity when they saw that they were surrounded.
Although they are at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, they have a strong father.
"Hurry up and report to the envoy, just say that Kyoto is surrounded by rebels!"
However, before the messenger returned, the defenders at the head of the city saw a shocking scene.
I saw that the rebels outside the city pushed out a carriage, and on the carriage sat two emperors, the north and the south!
"The defenders of the city obey orders!"
"Your emperor has returned, why don't you open the gates of the city quickly!"
When the defenders of the city heard this, their hearts beat with drums.
The emperor has returned, so should they listen to the ministers of Sanjo, or should they listen to the emperor?
Just as they were hesitating, Minoru Sanjo, who had received the news, hurried over.
Sanjo Minori was also stunned to see His Majesty the Emperor returning, and looked at the castle stupidly, not knowing what to do for a while.
However, he quickly reacted, he had already taken refuge in Daming, and helped Daming do a lot of things that hurt Japan.
Once the emperor returns to power and returns to power, not to mention that he will lose his current rights, he will be liquidated!
Therefore, even if it is the real emperor below, he has to pretend not to know it!
"Don't believe it, everyone, it's a fake emperor under the castle!"
"Yuan Daoyi, this rebellious didn't know where to find two people who looked like the emperor to pretend, just to trick us into opening the city gate!"
Sanjo Shino's words made more people hesitate, and for a while, the defenders at the head of the city didn't know who to listen to.
Seeing this, Yuan Daoyi immediately commanded his men to attack the city.
"Fight for His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Whoever climbs the city wall first will be rewarded with a thousand gold and given the position of a great name!"
Under the heavy reward of Yuan Daoyi, a group of samurai carried the charge like crazy.
Behind them were 30,000 archers, using the long-range advantage of their bows to suppress the defenders at the head of the city.
The defenders at the head of the city did not have the slightest fighting spirit, and when they saw the soldiers under the city attacking so fiercely, they immediately scattered.
Sanjo Minoru saw that the soldiers defending the castle had fled, and in the end he could only flee under the cover of the guards.
However, just as he ran down from the city, he happened to meet Wei Ming, who came to support.
Wei Ming had already seen the scattered soldiers, and now when he saw the waste of Sanjo Shino, he was even more angry, and he gave Sanjo Shino a few big slaps when he went up.
"Rubbish!"
"In Daming, your behavior of escaping from the battle is enough to die 10,000 times!"
"Hurry up and get back to defend the city!"
"Lord Wei, it's not that the lower officials want to run, it's really that the soldiers defending the city have run out!"
"Under the head of the castle is Emperor Kanhito leading the team, our soldiers have no fighting spirit at all......"
"What?"
"Da Ming put Ganren back?"
"Not only that, but Xia Guan also saw Emperor Xicheng of the Southern Dynasty!"
"The rebel of Yuan Daoyi is also there, they are all under the city!"
When Wei Ming heard this, his heart suddenly tightened, if all three of them came back, then the situation in Japan would be chaotic.
"How long will it take for them to get into town?"
"In the blink of an eye......"
"The soldiers at the head of the city have run out, and they are not fast to enter the door?"
When Wei Ming heard this, he immediately ordered the soldiers to change from the rear team to the front team.
"The whole army returned to the camp, packed up their things and headed for the Iwami area!"
Sanjo Shino panicked on the spot when he heard this, and grabbed Wei Ming's clothes.
"Lord Wei, where are you going?"
"Where else can I go, of course, I will go to the Iwami Silver Mine to find Yan Yi."
"The defense of our Kyoto military camp is not good, it can't stop the 100,000 army at all, only the defense facilities of the Iwami Silver Mine garrisoned by General Yan Yi are enough to withstand it."
"And there are hundreds of thousands of miners there, and these miners are soldiers with weapons, which is enough to spend a year and a half with them!"
"My lord, please take me with me, and I will also go with you to the Iwami Silver Mine!"
"Take you?"
"yes!"
"If the lower official stays in the city, he will definitely be liquidated by His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Please also ask the adults to bring the upper and lower officials, and the lower officials will never forget the kindness of the adults!"
Wei Ming pondered for a moment and nodded firmly.
"Okay!"
"You hurry back and pack your things, hurry up and feel the barracks, let's retreat towards the Iwami Silver Mine area together!"
"Thank you, my lord, I don't have to pack anything, I can go with you now......"
While the two were talking, they heard a "squeak", and the heavy gates of Kyoto were slowly opened.
A hundred Japanese samurai in fresh clothes and angry horses rushed to the city like crazy with a Japanese sword in their hands, and happened to collide with Wei Ming and the others.
This sudden scene not only stunned Wei Ming, but even the warriors who rushed in were blinded.
The two sides experienced a short period of stunnedness, and finally someone took the lead in shouting "kill".
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
