The Prince of Ming Dynasty and the Emperor of Japan are getting married...can they get married?

Matsukura Shigetoshi and Masuda Tokisada were both stunned. After a while, they remembered that Emperor Meisho was a 21-year-old woman, single and unmarried.

Zhu Cijiong, King Ning of the Ming Dynasty, is only 14 years old this year and has not married yet. The boy is unmarried and the girl is unmarried. They are well matched, so it seems that they can get married!

Masuda Shiro Tokisada was from a relatively low background and did not know the tradition that female emperors could not marry, so he nodded vigorously and said: "It is a good thing that the emperor of Japan and the prince of Ming Dynasty match each other, so that the two countries can become friends."

Qin Jinzhi is fine."

"No way..." Matsukura Shigeri quickly shook his head and said, "The female emperor is not allowed to marry... This is the tradition of our country!"

"Can't you marry?" Zhu Cixiang frowned and said, "But I heard that five of the seven female emperors of Japan have married. Except for the current emperor, only Emperor Xiaoqian has never married."

"But those emperors who were married were all empresses..." Shigetoshi Matsukura said, "They ascended the throne with the honor of empresses, and they never married again after they ascended the throne."

Zhu Cihong smiled and said: "The relationship between Emperor Xiaoqian and King Daojing is almost the same as marriage, right? If it weren't for the opposition of the ministers, a good thing would have happened long ago."

Emperor Takaken and the monk Dokyo had a close relationship, but they almost didn't get the certificate... Matsukura Shigeri was speechless now.

Zhu Cixiang straightened his face and said, "The third brother of Prince Ning, Cijiong, has a noble bloodline, comparable to that of Daojing monks, and is worthy of marrying the emperor. I think the ministers of the Japanese court will approve of this marriage."

"It's impossible to agree," Matsukura Shigeri shook his head, "Your Highness, your great nephew, doesn't know that blood is the most important thing in the marriage of the Imperial Family..."

"What do you mean?" Zhu Cixiang's face darkened, "Are you despising me because I, Emperor Gao, came from a young age and once became a monk and begged for food?"

Is there anything else like this?

Zhu Yuanzhang still has to have a meal? Isn't that worse than His Highness Taige? How can he be an emperor with such a background?

How could the two Japanese devils know this... But how could they dare to say that they despised Emperor Hongwu of the Celestial Dynasty? That would have led to execution in Lingchi! And now that the Ming Dynasty is powerful, it is possible to invade Japan at any time!

"I have absolutely no intention of doing this..."

"Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty is a hero, he must be a god sent by God!"

After hearing what the two Japanese said, Zhu Cixiang nodded in agreement, "You are right, Emperor Taizu is indeed a god...so Gu and Gu's third brother are all descendants of gods. Your emperor

She is also the granddaughter of God, the grandson of God and the granddaughter of God, they are a perfect match! If the two countries can marry like this, they can resolve a life and death battle and can coexist and prosper together! Otherwise, a war will be inevitable!

"

Zhu Cixiang looked at the two Japanese devils and said in a deep voice: "So I would like to ask you two to go to Japan, act as my secret envoys, and be a matchmaker between Prince Ning of the Ming Dynasty and the Emperor of Japan, so as to avoid war! Are you willing to go?

Are you willing to take this trip? Are you willing to take on the mission of making the Ming Dynasty and Japan coexist and prosper together?"

"Yes! Of course I am willing..."

"We are willing to protect the matchmaking for His Highness Prince Ning of Ming Dynasty."

How could Matsukura Shigetoshi and Masuda Tokisada miss this opportunity to return to Japan? Even if they failed to secure a match, they could still return to their hometown.

Zhu Cixiang smiled and said: "Okay! I will also accept the appointment of Muneaki, the second son of the Marquis of Nan'an, as the marriage envoy, and go to Kyoto with you two to meet the Emperor of Japan, and hand over the autographed letter I wrote to the Japanese General Iemitsu and the Emperor himself."

...

Zheng Zongming is Tagawa Nanzaemon. He is the second son of Zheng Zhilong. He is only 20 years old this year. He is a very handsome young man, somewhat similar to Zheng Sen.

Now he is still in Nagasaki and is Zheng Zhilong's representative in Japan. He is also responsible for the secret diplomacy between the Ming Dynasty and Japan.

After writing the letter, I was stunned for a long time, with my mouth open and nothing could come out.

"Second Young Master, do you think this match will work? Is the Emperor of Japan willing to marry His Highness Prince Ning?"

In the study of the Karaya Kaikan in Nagasaki, the person who asked Zheng Zongming the question was Zheng Cai. He now manages the Zheng family merchant fleet that travels between Japan and the Ming Dynasty. Matsukura Shigetsu and Masuda Tokisada are the merchant ships following him.

We arrived in Nagasaki together.

Because he is responsible for the Zheng family’s Sino-Japanese trade business, he certainly hopes that the two countries can coexist and prosper together...

Zheng Zongming shook his head repeatedly, "Yugong (Zheng Cai's trade name), if you ask me about this, who should I ask? As usual, the female emperor of Japan will not marry, but the Great Tomorrow Soldiers have arrived at the seaside in southern Korea.

...Marriage may be the only way to avoid the invasion of heavenly soldiers."

As he spoke, he said to Matsukura Shigetoshi and Masuda Tokisada, who came with Zheng Cai: "His Royal Highness Kokata is currently in Nagoya Castle. During this time, Kitakyushu is very nervous. People often hear rumors that the Ming army will invade.

News. The two of you should go to Nagoya Castle to see His Highness Kamikata and test your tone... Maybe considering the current bad situation, the marriage is really possible to succeed."

Zheng Cai smiled and added: "If the Emperor is willing to marry, it will be good for everyone, and it will be even more beneficial for the Emperor...His Royal Highness Prince Ning is the direct brother of His Highness the Great Nephew, and the Great Nephew will not treat him badly.

If the emperor marries him, he will no longer have to worry about poverty."

Zheng Zongming frowned and said: "I hope it can work! If not, then we have to make preparations early..."

The "preparation" he mentioned was, of course, preparation to run away!

If this marriage fails, it will be certain that the Ming Dynasty will invade Japan. By then, Kitakyushu will be reduced to a battlefield, and it is possible that the battle will be fought in vain.

...

Nagoya Castle, Honmaru.

Tokugawa Iemitsu is now looking a bit old, and he even has a lot of white hair. His health is not very good. In the past few years, he has been working hard for the war in Korea, and he has to always worry that the Ming army will suddenly land in Japan.

——This thing seems inevitable!

I don’t know if the Tokugawa family can withstand this terrible war?

As for the way to end the war, Iemitsu has not thought about it...but when the war has reached this point, how can Ming be willing to give up so easily?

Just yesterday afternoon, another piece of shocking bad news came from North Korea across the Taiwan Strait - Ulsan City was really captured by the Ming army!

At present, Japan's strongholds on the Korean Peninsula are only five cities near Busanpo.

Once these five cities are broken by the Ming army, Japan will no longer have a stronghold to rely on on the Korean Peninsula!

The Ming Dynasty can also start preparing for the invasion of Japan. Without the help of the kamikaze, the Ming army will soon invade Kitakyushu, and Nagoya Castle will bear the brunt and be fiercely attacked by the Ming army.

If Tokugawa Iemitsu doesn't leave quickly, he will probably be trapped in Nagoya Castle... If he dies in Nagoya Castle, it's hard to say whether the Tokugawa family can still exist.

But if we leave now, there is no step to go down. It would be too shameful to speak out. It will greatly damage the general's prestige, and the morale of the army will also be greatly damaged!

Just as he was thinking about the extremely embarrassing thing, the sliding door of the room he was in was suddenly opened. Then he saw the old man Matsudaira Nobutsuna hurried in with a happy face. He bowed in front of him and reported loudly.
