Chapter 161: Facts aside
When Zhu Jinghong and Zhen Qin were idle, Okamoto Yingyuan, who had been placed in the official residence in Beicheng, ushered in an uninvited guest.
"Two guys delivering food? He wants to see me? ”
On the hospital bed, Hideto Okamoto, who looked weak, asked his samurai in surprise.
The samurai replied, "Exactly, the man said that he had been ordered to come to discuss something important with you!" ”
At this time, the accompanying subordinate interjected: "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, my lord...... At such an extraordinary moment, I still don't see it! ”
This person also has injuries on his body, and one hand is still hanging from his chest with a cloth, and his condition is not much better than Hideya Okamoto.
After thinking about it for a while, Hideto Okamoto said, "Bring him to see me and see where he came from!" ”
"Yes!"
After a few breaths, two burly men were brought in, and just by looking at their temperament, they knew that they were not ordinary people.
"Please hold your back!" One of them said.
Hideya Okamoto didn't understand the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty, so he looked at the translator on the side.
After learning what the person meant, Hideto Okamoto asked, "Who are you?" ”
"Our identity, we can only tell you, please go out with no one else!"
Hideto Okamoto said in a deep voice: "My people here are very loyal, what can you say on the spot!" ”
Seeing that the two still didn't speak, Okamoto Hideto said coldly: "If you don't say it, you can leave now!" ”
After a few moments of silence, just as the Japanese samurai were about to make a move, one of the men said, "I'm from the Zasak Mission......
Although Okamoto Hideto has been lying for a few days, he has not stopped inquiring about the outside world, and he knows exactly what the envoy Zasak has done recently.
"You say you're an envoy, but what proof do you have?" Hideto Okamoto's face was wary.
Obviously, the next conversation must be a taboo thing, and it is extremely normal for Hideto Okamoto to have doubts in his heart.
"This is a letter from our Excellency, and it is stamped with our Lord's private seal!"
With that, the man who spoke took out the envelope from his bosom and handed it to the samurai who stood in front of him, who took the letter to Hideto Okamoto.
The kanji Hideto Okamoto is recognized, and the content in it is only a brief condolence, and the seal at the end is very important.
In the past few days, more than a dozen envoys have sent condolences, including the Zasak envoy, and there was also a letter of condolence that time.
"Compare the letter from last time!"
"Yes!"
The room fell silent again, and after about ten minutes, a subordinate officer rushed over and told him that the seal was exactly the same.
So, the man in front of him is a member of the Zazak Mission.
"Why are you coming?"
"The news of your country's envoy being beaten in the palace has spread among the envoys of other countries, and we all hope that justice will be given to you and the perpetrator of this murder will be severely punished!"
"Tomorrow at noon, the Ministry of Punishment will be promoted, and we will summon envoys from all countries to observe and support you in accusing Zhu Jinghong of his crimes!"
"Even if the criminal department is biased, we will support you, don't be afraid!"
"With our help, the Ming people will never dare to oppress you, you can save face!"
Okamoto Hidefar is not young, and his blood will surge when he hears a few words, and at this moment he is thinking about the purpose of the Zasaks.
Ten minutes later, the Zasak people who had completed the task left, leaving only Hideto Okamoto and a few henchmen in the room.
"My lord, we must be cautious about this matter, and be careful of being used by them!" One of them said.
Okamoto Yingyuan nodded and said, "As far as I know, among the various alliances, only the Dzungar people are unruly and still do not accept the canonization of the Ming Dynasty!" ”
"The Zasak Khanate was canonized by the Ming Dynasty more than 60 years ago and has always been loyal...... Why are they jumping out and rebelling now! ”
Speaking of this, Hideto Okamoto boldly gave a judgment: "Could it be ...... The Zasak people have also rebelled? ”
One of the subordinate officers pondered, "This ...... I'm afraid it's very likely that the Zasaks and Dzungaria are next to each other, and maybe a secret agreement has been reached! ”
Their Japanese state also accepted the canonization of the Ming Dynasty, and they also had impure intentions, so they could understand the Zasak people very well.
According to the current tributary system, the Zasaks who received the canonization had to pay a large number of horses, cattle and sheep every year, which was a great burden for them.
Of course, even if the Dzungars did not accept the canonization, in order to maintain the face of the Ming Dynasty, they would pay tribute to a batch of cattle, sheep and horses every year.
"I think the purpose of the Zasak people is to let more people see the arrogance and domineering of the Ming Dynasty through our affairs, and let more people oppose the Ming Dynasty...... Restore the pattern of sixty years ago! ”
Speaking of which, the grassland's obedience to the Ming Dynasty has always been in a swing stage, so since the rise of the ancestors, there have been countless battles of all sizes.
It has been somewhat stable in the past ten years, but there are also Dzungar and Annan who are unstable, but no large-scale war has broken out for the time being.
Of course, Japan, which also accepted the canonization, also had the intention of watching the Ming Dynasty.
Only those alliances who accepted the canonization and even handed over the command of the army were the dogs tamed by the Ming Dynasty.
"I look at the northwest, there will be a big war!"
Hideto Okamoto had just finished saying this, and someone outside came to report it.
"My lord, someone is in the palace!"
"Someone from the palace?" Hideto Okamoto looked puzzled.
At this time, a subordinate official replied: "This one after the other...... Could it be that the movements of the Zasak people are already known to the imperial court? ”
Hideto Okamoto replied: "Whether it is or not, listen to what he says in a while, we haven't done anything now, and we finally have a clear conscience!" ”
The people in the palace represent the emperor, and Hideto Okamoto has to go to the front hall to greet him even if he is in pain.
After about a few minutes, Hideto Okamoto was helped by two samurai to the front hall.
"Minister Okamoto Yingyuan, ask my emperor Sheng'an!"
Even if he was injured, respect for the emperor was indispensable, and Hideto Okamoto trembled and knelt down.
After listening to the translation, Wang Qing stepped forward with a smile on his face and helped Okamoto Yingyuan up.
"I came here today not by the order of the Lord, so you don't have to be polite!"
Although the eunuch in front of him had a warm smile, it made Okamoto Hideto feel cold in his back, as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake.
Since it was a private visit, there was naturally no need to be polite, so Wang Qing asked Okamoto Yingyuan to sit at the same table with him.
"I am Wang Qing, the eunuch in charge of the East Factory, and the Criminal Department will open tomorrow for arraignment, and I have something to say...... I had to warn the adults! ”
What kind of organization is the East Factory, even if Hideto Okamoto is Japanese, he has heard of it.
"Please teach my father-in-law!"
"The Lord is a god and a saint, the world is unified, Li Shu enjoys a prosperous world, and Kyushu returns to the heart of the four seas!"
Speaking of business, Wang Qing put away the warmth just now, as if he had really become a poisonous snake.
"This all depends on the holy virtue of the Lord and the grace of the Heavenly Empire!"
"Yes...... Be! ”
If such a righteous and bright word is spoken, who can say that it is not!
The next moment, Wang Qing's words changed: "In this conflict, putting aside the facts, are you not wrong?" ”
Hearing this, Okamoto Hidea was furious, and they went to worship the emperor with humility, but he was violently beaten by the drunken guards for no reason, and he really couldn't think of any fault with him.
didn't wait for Okamoto Hideto to answer, only to hear Wang Qing continue: "Since you are also wrong, then you should admit your mistakes in time!" ”
"If you keep holding on to it, or if you are deceived by someone and do something unwise......
Who has been deceived into doing unwise things...... That's what it means.
This surprised Okamoto Hideen, and he knew that neither he nor the Zasaks had escaped the surveillance of the East Factory.
"If you lose the prestige of the Celestial Empire and even the holy virtue of the Lord because of impulse...... Your sins are great! ”
Speaking of this, Wang Qing picked up the teacup and drank tea, giving Hideto Okamoto time to think.
