Chapter 166: Numb! The Japanese Country Took the Initiative to Ask the Angel to Come!

The atmosphere above the court hall was strange.
No matter how thick-skinned Prince Han is, he still feels a little embarrassed at this moment.
"Hosokawa, get up quickly, let's talk about business."
"I heard that the Ashikaga Shogunate sent you to the Ming Dynasty to steal our Ming Dynasty's military information?"
Hosokawa Manyuan was stunned for a moment. When he noticed Prince Han's hidden gaze, he immediately nodded.
"Ah, yes, yes, the foreign minister is trying to steal the Ming Dynasty's advanced ordnance technology..."
Steal your uncle!
Stop talking about me, even Ashikaga Yoshimichi is not that brave!
In the Ming Dynasty, if a foreign minister wants to steal military information, isn't that asking for death?
Even if you are lucky enough to steal it successfully, who can guarantee that it will not be discovered by the Ming court, and who can guarantee that you can successfully bring this information back to Japan?
That's why a fool would do such a thing.
But now, under the power of the Minghan prince, Hosokawa Mangen had no choice but to pinch his nose and admit that he was such a fool.
Huang Huai, Yang Shiqi and others on the side looked at the clumsy performance of the King of Han and the Japanese and felt extremely speechless.
What did Prince Han say? This despicable Japanese always said "Ah, yes, yes, yes". Isn't the collusion between the two obvious enough?
Yang Shiqi stroked his beard, his heart sinking to the bottom.
Zhu Gaoxu forced the Japanese deputy envoy to forge his testimony, causing discord between the Ming Dynasty and Japan.
What on earth does Prince Han want to do?
Could it be that he really wanted to go to sea and conquer Japan?
Isn't this too funny? !
You must know that the Japanese country is a country designated by Emperor Taizu Gao as a country without conquest!
When it comes to the history of the Japanese nation, it can be considered that it has had its glory days and its downfalls.
The Japanese state broke off diplomatic relations with China in the late Tang Dynasty and was not established until the Yuan Dynasty.
During the reign of Kublai Khan, in order to make the Japanese country surrender, he sent envoys to the Japanese country many times, asking the Japanese country to surrender to the Yuan Dynasty and pay tribute.
Kublai Khan sent envoys five times in total, but they were all directly rejected by the Japanese rulers. His anger forced Kublai Khan to boldly order an attack on the Japanese country.
The Mongolian army actively went to sea to conquer the Japanese country. However, because Mongolia itself was not good at naval warfare and the weather was not conducive to reinforcements, it only achieved victory in the early stages of the battle.
In the end, all the Mongolian cavalry that swept across the Central Plains ended in a disastrous defeat. The Japanese nation separated from the Central Plains and never had any contact with them again.
Until Emperor Taizu Gao established the Ming Dynasty in Dingdingshanhe, he also sent envoys to the Japanese country. However, the arrogant Japanese country actually killed the Ming envoys.
In fact, if you think about it from the perspective of the Japanese country, they were able to defeat the Yuan Dynasty expeditionary force forcefully under the powerful force of the Yuan Dynasty. They did not choose to return to the Yuan Dynasty. Now facing the Ming envoys, they naturally became tougher.
The Angel of Heaven was killed, and Emperor Gao was so furious that he almost sent troops to conquer the Japanese country.
But after thinking for a long time, he chose to give up sending troops and listed small neighboring countries such as Japan and Korea as countries that would not be conquered.
The reason is simple, it doesn't make sense.
The Ming Dynasty mobilized large numbers of troops to conquer these neighboring barbarian countries. Even if it was victorious, what the Ming Dynasty got were undeveloped and barren lands. The local indigenous people would not obey the orders of the Ming Dynasty court and may even rebel repeatedly. Annan is the best example.
If the expeditionary force failed like the Yuan Dynasty did, the huge military strength, huge manpower and loss of troops would have to be borne by the court, which would be an unbearable burden!
Therefore, even though Emperor Taizu Gao was angry, he restrained himself from going on an expedition to Japan.
So is it possible that the Han prince in front of him still has such great ambitions?
Yang Shiqi frowned and stared at Prince Han closely, trying to see through his deep intentions in doing these things.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't waste any time and pointed out the topic directly.
"Hosokawa, I heard that your Japanese country is not peaceful now, right?"
"Ah, yes, yes... the shogunate and the Southern Dynasties have had a long-standing feud. Emperor Kameyama of the Southern Dynasty was dissatisfied with the shogunate's destruction of the two unifications. He ran away from Saga in anger and secretly visited Yoshino. He was summoning the forces of the old Southern Dynasty to protest..."
"Although the two parties have temporarily reached a reconciliation through the mediation of Prince Ueno, many Southern Dynasty ministers are eager to give it a try and are preparing to launch a rebellion and resist the shogunate in the name of supporting the emperor!"
Hearing this, all the officials were dumbfounded.
Huang Huai's face was full of disdain, and he smiled at Yang Rong beside him and said: "Mianren, these are really barbarians who don't know benevolence, justice, kindness, and do not admire the holy words of enlightenment!"
Yang Rong nodded lightly. Although he did not speak, his eyes were full of disdain.
According to the political system of the Japanese country, the emperor should be the leader of the Japanese country, similar to the emperor of Japan.
As a result, there was now an extra shogun who held the emperor hostage to order the princes, and played with the emperor in his hands, causing the queen to run away and be covered in dust, and had to ask for help from the Ming Dynasty.
The funniest thing is that the Japanese country is also divided into the Northern and Southern Dynasties. The emperors of the Northern and Southern Dynasties are still one family. The reason is because of the shogunate's troubles...
what is this?
The king is not the king, the minister is not the minister, a group of overseas barbarians!
Just at this time, Gu Zuo, the censor of Zuodu, suddenly read loudly: "The king's unruly people are thieves, disturbing living beings, gods and ghosts are resentful, how can you know when you sit in the well looking at the sky, cut off your hair and striped clothes for the sake of convenience... The king and his ministers are barefoot..." The frog croaks, and the ambition leaps into the sky..."
After hearing this poem, all the officials were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
This poem is "Japanese Fan Xing" written by Taizu Emperor Gao in anger. It can be described as extremely bitter and satirical!
Hosokawa Mangen's face turned red when he saw this, but he still knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up at all.
Compared to your own life, your dignity and integrity are no longer important!
Zhu Gaoxu also laughed heartily. He did not expect that Gu Zuo was so courageous and dared to humiliate the Japanese envoys with poems in public.
But this would be better, let all the officials see that the Japanese are just that, their servility in their bones is unparalleled in the world!
"Okay, okay, everyone, shut up!"
Following Zhu Gaoxu's low drink, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net all the officials immediately stopped talking, and the hall instantly became quiet.
Prince Han then asked again: "If that's the case, then why did you, Hosokawa, come to our country this time?"
Hearing this, Hosokawa Mangen trembled, as if he remembered something terrible.
He hurriedly touched his head to the ground and shouted loudly: "The foreign ministers are coming to the Ming Dynasty this time. Firstly, they are asking the Ming Dynasty to resume the exploration and cooperation trade with the small countries. Secondly, they are asking the angels of the Ming Dynasty to come to the small countries and mediate the conflicts between the shogunate and the emperor in the small countries! "
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar!
The first purpose is not difficult to guess. Yang Shiqi and others have already guessed it.
After all, trade between the two countries represents interests, and the Japanese specialties are looked down upon by the Ming Dynasty, but the goods exported by the Ming Dynasty are in demand goods that the Japanese countries are eager to pursue.
Therefore, the suspension of joint trade between the two countries had no impact on the Ming Dynasty, but had a profound impact on the Japanese state.
It is natural for them to come here to request the reopening of trade.
However, this second request shocked the civil and military officials of the entire court!
The Japanese country took the initiative to request the Ming Dynasty to send angels to mediate the contradictions and conflicts between their domestic shogunate and the emperor!
This is not the Ming Dynasty’s initiative, but your Japanese country’s initiative!
For a time, the civil and military officials were talking a lot and seemed quite moved.
After all, when Emperor Taizu Gao sent envoys there, they were killed by these stupid barbarians.
Now they are actively requesting the angel of the Ming Dynasty to come. In a sense, this is equivalent to the Japanese country recognizing the status of the Ming Dynasty as the suzerain state in disguise!
If this thing is done well, the emperor will be overjoyed when he returns from the Northern Expedition.
Only Yang Shiqi frowned, glanced at Prince Han, who was there, and suddenly understood in his heart.
Where did the Japanese take the initiative? It was clearly the King of Han who asked the Japanese envoys to take the initiative!
