Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Temple of Fire Vines, the Island Country of the East China Sea (6)

Zhu Ce said, "Yu'er, do you want to ask why we are guests in Dongying?" Nangong Yu nodded. Zhu Ce, www.biquge.info of the pen %fun pavilion, said: "The reason is very simple, because Dongying promised to help us restore the country. Nangong Yu was taken aback, although he had guessed that his father should be cooperating with Dongying, which was not conducive to Daming, but he didn't expect it to be such a big event, and said in a lost voice: "Restore the country?"

Zhu Ce said: "Yes, only Dongying can help us at present." When they attack the Ming Dynasty in a big way, they can send troops under the banner of our royal orthodoxy. After seizing the country, he gave us the throne. Nangong Yu was stunned and silent, and said: "How can there be such a good thing in the world? Dongying has no other choice. ”

Nangong Yu said in a deep voice: "Father, have you ever thought that even if there is such a day, we are just Dongying's puppets. It's a world of difference from sitting on the emperor yourself. Zhu Ce said: "That's a later story, really wait for us to sit on the throne and deal with Dongying for our father." It's a big deal to cede some land to them. Nangong Yu was surprised: "Ceded land?" Zhu Ce said: "My father has already reached an agreement with the emperor, General Toyotomi. At that time, we only need to cede the three eastern provinces to them, and the rest of the country will still be ours. It's a big deal to move the capital back to Nanjing, and it is okay to claim the title of vassal to Dongying. ”

Nangong Yu lost his voice and said: "It is absolutely not okay to cut the land? Zhu Ce listened to his resoluteness, his face sank slightly, and said, "What is Yu'er's opinion?" Nangong Yu said: "I have no objection to raising troops in Middle-earth to restore the throne, even if the casualties are heavy, it is the business of our Han and Han people." The child thinks that helping Dongying is tantamount to luring a wolf into the house, the emperor is the father of the people of the world, and can cede his children and homes to others? ”

Zhu Ce sighed and said to the four guards: "The young master has just arrived, and he hasn't seen the situation clearly, so he needs to be enlightened, so you all go back and rest first." The four guards saluted them, withdrew, and they all went into another house.

Only then did Zhu Ce say: "Our Xiao Ming Sect is far away in the Western Regions, and there are only a few thousand people, so it is not a climate. If this continues, there is no hope of recovering the country for another 100 years. As a father, he was forced to use the power of Dongying out of desperation. Whether it is to cut the land in the future, or to call the vassal is just an expedient measure, how can the father allow Dongying to steal my Ming land for a long time, as long as we regain power, the army is strong, and the father will definitely recover the rivers and mountains. The premise is that we have this opportunity to fulfill the last wish of the emperor, understand?"

Nangong Yuliang was silent for a long time, although he still disagreed, but he didn't want to contradict his father, so he said: "Father can't help but look down on Dongying too much." The land and population of the Ming Dynasty are more than ten times that of Dongying, and in the land of Dongying, what are the chances of winning a war with the Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Ce smiled: "Of course we won't hit the stone with an egg now, and we can only help us reset when the time is ripe." Nangong Yu said: "What timing?" Zhu Ce said: "General Toyotomi told his father his plan, swallow Ryukyu, occupy Korea, first China, then India, and prosper together." ”

Nangong Yu was shocked in his heart, gasped, and said in surprise: "He has such great ambitions!" Zhu Ce said: "General Toyotomi also said that this national policy will remain unchanged for thousands of years, and if this generation can't do it, wait for the next generation, pass it on from generation to generation, work towards this goal, and vow not to give up if China is not destroyed." As a father, I believe that those who have this ambition will help us restore our country. Nangong Yu said in a deep voice: "Since they take the death of China as their ultimate goal, how can they hand over the throne to us? Zhu Ce said with a smile: "When the time comes, my father will have his own ideas, this is all tacit, and it is too early to talk about it." ”

Nangong Yu shook his head slowly, he saw that his father had been determined to cooperate with Dongying, and he would not listen to any persuasion. Zhu Ce said: "At the beginning, my father sent you to learn martial arts, and now that you have achieved great martial arts, it is time to do a career." I heard that you have a family affair in Middle-earth, and your father will arrange for your wife and children to be brought here, and from then on you will stay in Toei, and with your intelligence and martial arts, you will definitely be appreciated by General Toyotomi, and maybe you can still be in charge of the army, which will greatly benefit our restoration of the country. ”

Nangong Yu said disappointedly: "The child wants to stay here?" Zhu Ce said: "Yes, we have been separated for so many years, and now that our father has a place to stay, there is no need to look at each other across the sea." Father and son, we work together to create a great cause. Nangong Yu's heart was gloomy, and he didn't know what to say.

Song Yi said: "Yu'er has been tired all the way, and tomorrow General Toyotomi will lead hundreds of officials to Luyuan Temple to worship on behalf of the emperor, and we will also participate, it is also a good opportunity for Yu'er to make friends, so let's rest early." Zhu Ce said: "What Brother Song said is true. Song Ming, you take the young master down to rest. ”

Song Ming got up to receive the order, took Nangong Yu to the innermost bedroom in the back hall, pushed open the wooden door, and saw that there was not even a bed inside. Nangong Yuqi said: "How do you sleep on this?" Song Ming smiled: "The habit of Dongying people is to sleep on the ground. As he spoke, he opened the cupboard, took out the futon and spread it on the floor. Nangong Yu smiled bitterly: "If you let the Dongying people enter the Forbidden City, will even the emperor's dragon bed be demolished?" Song Ming sighed: "Don't be angry, the young lord is also forced by the situation, there is no way." Nangong Yu said in a deep voice: "If you have to rely on Dongying to gain power, I would rather not take the throne." Song Ming hurriedly shushed and said, "The young master is quiet, it's not good for the lord to hear it." Nangong Yu sighed: "Forget it, don't talk about it." Where do you sleep?" Song Ming said: "The villain sleeps in the first room of the passage, and the lord and father-in-law live upstairs. ”

Nangong Yu let out a "hmm" and said, "You can also go and rest." Song Ming lit five more candles for him and said, "The young master is not in a hurry to blow the wax first, and he may be able to use it later." After saying that, Shi Li left.

Nangong Yu didn't understand the meaning of his last sentence, so he took off his clothes and prepared to sleep, he saw a pair of clogs and a neatly stacked Japanese-style pajamas next to the mattress, he threw them aside casually and lay down.

As soon as he closed his eyes, he heard a slight knock on the door, and thought that Song Ming had something to do and returned, and said, "Come in." After bowing to Nangong Yu, she said in Chinese: "The slave maid Yamaguchi Apricot came to wait for the son, is the son still satisfied with the slave maid?" Nangong Yu knew Song Ming's intention to let him keep the lamp, smiled bitterly, and said, "No need, girl, please go back." Kyoko Yamaguchi was slightly disappointed and said, "Yes." But after a while, a girl named Fujisaki Chie came, Nangong Yu knew that they had misunderstood, and hurriedly said: "I'm not dissatisfied, I'm just tired, don't wait, the girl go back." Chie Fujisaki said, "Yes, it's rude." Nangong Yu blew out the candle and fell asleep after a while.

When he woke up the next day, as soon as he put on his clothes, Song Ming walked in with new clothes and clogs, and said: "Later, we will go to Luyuan Temple to worship the gods, and the daimyo of Kyoto will participate, this kimono is newly ordered before the young master came, the dark red background color is consistent with the surname 'Zhu', and the embroidered golden dragon is also in line with the identity of the young master, and the young master must be eye-catching when he wears it."

Nangong Yu glanced at it and said, "You bothered, but I'm not going to participate in the draft girl, what are you doing to attract attention." You know me, I only wear cloth clothes, and I only wear Hanfu. Song Ming was embarrassed: "The people who went to Kyoto were all dignitaries and nobles, if you met for the first time, wouldn't it be too rude for Buyi?" Nangong Yu smiled: "I haven't seen you for a few years, how did you become a philistine." A horse with a gold-inlaid saddle is still a horse, and vice versa. Song Ming said: "Yes, the villain will find out if there is a suitable cloth clothes." ”

Nangong Yu said: "No need, isn't this one on me good?" Song Ming was surprised: "That's it?" Nangong Yu said: "Yes, it's not broken, it's not dirty, I think it's good." Song Ming said: "It's not easy for villains to say anything. The lord and the father-in-law are drinking tea in the front hall, so go and ask them. ”
