Chapter 2188 Japan's first loyal minister

"Yasi, Yaoshi..." After hearing Tokugawa Iemitsu's assurance, Emperor Kouko finally showed a pretty smile.

This female emperor actually looks pretty good. She is just a little short, and her eyebrows are a little upside down. However, her skin is very fair and her facial features are pretty straight. This appearance would not be acceptable in Tokugawa Iemitsu's Imperial family, but in the Imperial family,

She is definitely the second most beautiful woman in the house - the first beauty is her mother Tokugawa Kazuko, who is also the middle palace of the Emperor Gomizuoin.

Emperor Koiko, the second most beautiful woman in the Yamato royal family, was happy because she would soon marry the "tall, rich and handsome" young prince from the next door Ming Dynasty. Her mother, Tokugawa Kazuko, who was also the most beautiful woman in the Yamato royal family, was accompanying the emperor of Gomizuoin.

Chanting sutras in a Buddhist hall.

It turns out that Emperor Masahito of Gomizuo-in and Tokugawa Kazuko, who is known as Tofumon-in, are both "monastics" at home. Gomi-o-in is a monk, while Tofumon-in is a nun...monks and nuns (

More than one nun), they lived happily together and gave birth to a lot of children!

While the monks and nuns in the palace were reciting "Namo Amitabha", a female official came in a hurry to report the news.

"His Majesty the Supreme Being, His Highness Gongfang and Lord Guan Bai have just entered the palace to meet with His Majesty the Emperor in the Purple Chen Hall..."

A group of people with inverted eyebrows, Gomizuoin, exclaimed: "Why is Iemitsu here? Shouldn't he be fighting against Akiko in Kitakyushu? Could it be that he was defeated by Akiko?"

Dongfumenyuan glanced at the female official and asked, "You came to report in such a hurry, something big must have happened, right?"

"Your Majesty, the Emperor and the Empress, something big has happened indeed. Your Highness has found a good match for His Majesty the Emperor."

"Nani?" Hou Shuiweiyuan's little eyes narrowed, and his face suddenly darkened.

Gomizuoin hated Iemitsu very much, because when Iemitsu was in Kanei's fourth year, he actually let his wet nurse Afu enter the palace to see Gomizuoin who was still the emperor at that time - Afu did not have an official position granted by the imperial court, so

But he is just a commoner.

Even though the imperial family at that time was so poor that they were almost broke, they still looked down on Afu as a "commoner", so Gomizuoin regarded Afu's appearance as a great shame and humiliation. He gave up the throne to his daughter Kazuko at such a young age.

Most of the reason is that I can't bear the shame.

And now...even greater shame may befall the Imperial family again!

Tokugawa Iemitsu actually wanted to be a matchmaker for a female emperor!

The female emperor cannot marry, otherwise what would the female emperor’s husband be? Moreover, Gomizuoin believed that no prominent minister in Kyoto would dare to marry the emperor. Anyone who dared to do so must be a samurai...

"Who is going to marry Xingzi?" Dongfumenyuan saw that the monk's husband was about to get angry, so he quickly asked to distract the monk's attention.

"He must be an unruly samurai!" the great monk replied.

The female official shook her head and said, "The person who wants to marry His Majesty the Emperor is His Royal Highness Prince Ning, the third son of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty."

"N...Ni? Is there such a thing?"

The monks and nuns all screamed.

This is an unprecedented event. The Emperor of Japan is going to marry Prince Ming... Will Prince Ming become the Emperor of Japan in the future?

In addition, can the heirs born of Emperor Koiko and Prince Daimei inherit the throne of the emperor? There seems to be no reason not to let the heirs of Emperor Koiko succeed, right?

Gosui Oin suddenly stood up, and then walked to the Shichen Hall in three steps and two steps. And Tofumonin also followed him to the Shichen Hall... Emperor Xingzi was their daughter, Xingzi's marriage

How could they not ask?

So the two monks and nuns hurried to the Zichen Hall. When they arrived, Emperor Koiko, Tokugawa Iemitsu and Kujo Daofang had not left yet, and they were all admiring Zhu Cijiong's portrait painting - the painting had been hung upright.

What a handsome young man with his head turned upward!

Emperor Kouko's eyes were so bright that he didn't even hear the palace lady announcing the arrival of her monk father and nun mother. Only when they arrived did she find herself at Tokugawa Iemitsu and Kujo monastery in the back of Mizuo Yin, Tofuku.

When I was bowing in the courtyard, I realized that my parents were coming.

As the Emperor of Japan, Koiko also gave a gift to his parents.

Gomizuoin asked Tokugawa Iemitsu directly: "Iemitsu, I heard that you want to marry the emperor to the prince of Ming Dynasty?"

Tokugawa Iemitsu nodded, "This is the best solution to the current protracted war between Japan and the Ming Dynasty... Moreover, His Majesty the Emperor will abdicate the throne to Prince Sogomiya before getting married."

Gomizuoin asked: "So, do the children born to Koiko and Prince Daiming have the right to inherit the emperor?"

"Yes!" Emperor Koiko replied on behalf of General Tokugawa, "Since I am the legitimate emperor, of course my descendants have the right to inherit!"

Gomizuoin turned to look at Tokugawa Iemitsu, who also nodded and said: "His Majesty the Emperor is right, her heirs have the right to inherit the throne of the Emperor."

Tokugawa Iemitsu is not a fool. Of course he knows what the Ming Dynasty next door is planning. But he cannot marry an emperor whose descendants have lost the right to inherit to Zhu Cijiong... because this will only stimulate Zhu Youjian to start a war in advance.

Create an inheritance for your grandson.

What will the Tokugawa shogunate do then? Will the former Hojo family resist to the end? The Ming Dynasty’s navy is much more powerful than Kublai Khan’s Yuan Dynasty navy. There will be no problem in landing in Japan... Japan is an island country and cannot be defended against.

!However, Iemitsu also knew that Ming's most concerned target was not Japan, but the New World. Japan was just a springboard for Ming to enter the New World. As long as it was handled properly and gained Ming's trust, he could avoid disaster.

So when it comes to the succession of the emperor, he has to let the Ming Dynasty have something to look forward to. Anyway, there are still many sons in Gomizuoin. They all take turns to work for a few years, and ten or twenty years will pass...wait for ten or twenty years.

, the Tokugawa shogunate could recover from the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Korea.

And the Ming Dynasty may have fallen into the "oil and water pit" of the New World, and most likely will not want to invade Japan by then. Wouldn't the Tokugawa Shogunate be stable?

Even if Xingzi's son is really allowed to become emperor, it's not a big deal... As long as it lasts until Zhu Youjian dies and Zhu Cihong ascends the throne and becomes emperor, then Xingzi's son will not have the support of Ming Dynasty.

Get real power.

Because Zhu Cijiong is the real eldest son of Zhu Youjian, and the son of Zhu Cijiong and Emperor Xingzi is the eldest grandson of Ming Dynasty!

"This is not possible..." Gomizuoin shook his head resolutely. Xingzi has the blood of the Tokugawa family. If she marries Prince Daming again, her heirs will be the Zhu Ming Dynasty and the Tokugawa family.

The family's bloodline, both of which Emperor Gomizuo disliked very much.

Tokugawa Iemitsu said with a cold face: "Your Majesty, the Emperor, this is the decision of the shogunate, and it is also the will of the emperor today!"

The shogunate had strength, and the emperor had the legal authority, but Gomizuoin was empty-handed, so of course he had no way to resist.

Tokugawa Iemitsu saw that Gomizuoin was a little timid, and immediately said firmly: "I am a loyal minister of His Majesty the Emperor. If anyone dares to oppose His Majesty the Emperor, then I will draw a sword and fight for His Majesty the Emperor..."

Whoever that person is!”

The voice of his words was: If you talk more, you bald donkey, I will kill you, the general!
