After exiting the Sakurada Gate of Edo Castle, Hosuka Masayuki went back to his Aizu Domain House without going anywhere.

Like most feudal lords in Japan, Hoshina Masayuki, the lord of the Aizu domain, did not live in the domain for a long time, but lived in the feudal residence in Edo for a long time. However, in order to show that he valued Aizu, he still let some of his family members live in the Aizu domain hall for a long time.

Among them was Takako Hoshina, the daughter of one of his concubines, who is now Tokugawa Takako. As the daughter of the feudal lord, Takako lived in Wakamatsu Castle from the day she was born until the year before last year.

It was when she turned 15 that she came to the feudal residence in Edo Castle.

And as soon as she entered Edo, she attracted the attention of countless people because of her beauty and tallness.

Masayuki Hoshina had many children, most of whom were outstanding in appearance. He himself was tall and handsome, and several of his concubines were all outstanding beauties from the North. Of course, the children born to him would easily inherit outstanding looks. Therefore, in the current Edo

There is a saying that "the intelligence of Mito is the beauty of Aizu".

And Takako is the most outstanding among the "beauties of Aizu" and the one who makes Masayuki Hoshina the most embarrassed. Takako is very beautiful, with eyebrows like distant mountains, a nose like grease, lips like flowers, charming eyes, and fair skin.

Her figure is even taller and plump. At such a young age, her "mind" is already quite impressive!

But once such an outstanding beauty stands up, it becomes a bit embarrassing.

Because this girl was so tall that the samurai boys in Edo were deterred. This was actually all blamed on Masayuki Hoshina. He was tall himself, and he also liked to eat meat secretly! He also passed on these two points.

As a result, Gao Zi's height was out of control.

Now Masayuki Hoshina can find young men from the Wu family who are on the same level as Gao Zi, and they are all at least half a head shorter than Gao Zi, and some are even a head shorter!

The people who can marry Takako are all well-known high-level samurai. How can he be shorter than his wife in every aspect?

Moreover, this tall boy is not only tall, he also likes to dance with swords, guns, horseback riding and archery. These are all the consequences of living in the countryside of Aizu for a long time!

A whole wild girl!

It wouldn't matter if we were in the troubled times of the Warring States Period. If the daughter of a Warring States Daimyo knew some martial arts, she would not only be able to protect herself, but it would also help teach her son.

But now is the age of peace and prosperity. How can the wife of a high-ranking warrior in the age of peace and prosperity be a "Ji Warrior General"?

So since the year before last, Masayuki Hoshina has been worrying about his daughter's marriage. However, that boy Tokugawa Mitsukuni actually came up with the bad idea of ​​sending Takako to Nanjing to present to the Ming Emperor!

Masayuki Hoshina actually disapproved of this, but he couldn't say no publicly. Didn't the Aizu Domain exist just for the Shogun's family? Now he couldn't bear to part with a daughter?

Therefore, while agreeing to this matter, Masayuki Yasukina also had some illusion that this matter would not be so easy to accomplish, and that it might be settled due to some differences between the two parties.

Therefore, he never mentioned this matter to his daughter Gaozi.

But I have to say it today!

Because Mitsukuni, a smart man from the Mito family, planned to go to the Ming Dynasty in the name of escorting Takako to the Nanjing court. The purpose should be to find out the actual situation of the Ming Dynasty navy. If the Ming Dynasty navy was defeated by the Spanish, then Japan

Maybe I can go back to the stable life of living in isolation.

If the Ming Navy can continue to fight, then the Tokugawa Shogunate will have to fight with it!

No matter what, the Satsuma clan with ulterior motives must be destroyed!

However, for Gao Zi, it is inevitable to stay away from his hometown in Japan and enter the harem of the Chinese emperor alone, which is like a dragon pool and a tiger's den. The palace battles in the Chinese dynasty are very powerful. A man like Gao Zi has no scheming and is "very weak".

Little girl, can you bear it?

When the worried Hoshina Masayuki got out of a small, ugly sedan, he saw a tall girl wearing a kyudo uniform jumping up to meet him.

"Takako!" Masayuki Hoshina couldn't help but roared when he saw this wild girl.

"Father." Gao Zi stuck out his tongue playfully, and then bowed properly.

"Come into the house with me!" Masayuki Hoshina ordered and walked into the house.

Takako and Masayuki's nicknames quickly followed. A maid was already kneeling in front of the sliding door, opened the sliding door for His Highness Aizu, and then bowed to the ground. Hoshina stopped at the door and said to his nickname: "You

Stay here, no one can come near without my order!"

"Hai!" Xiao surname responded, and then half-kneeling at the door.

Hoshina Masayuki and Takako entered the room, and then the father and daughter knelt down facing each other. Hoshina Masayuki frowned and said, "Takako, my father is going to send you to the palace to serve the emperor."

"Ah? Me?" Gao Zi was startled and looked at his father blankly, "Father, can my daughter serve His Majesty the Emperor even if she is not from a public family?"

"Emperor, hum! There are almost no more!"

"The Emperor is going to die." Gao Zi was completely shocked. What happened to his father? Was he confused by the stupid Gongfang?

"Takako!" Masayuki Hoshina looked at his daughter with a gloomy and terrifying face, "I'll tell you a secret, the Tokugawa family is preparing to become rebellious officials and traitors!"

"Father, what did you say?" Gao Zi looked at his father with a surprised expression, "How could the Tokugawa family be rebellious officials and traitors? The whole world belongs to the Tokugawa family!"

Yes! The whole world belongs to the Tokugawa family. How can the Tokugawa family be considered as rebellious officials and traitors?

"That's why my father said that the emperor will be gone!" Yasukuni Masamichi said, "The old and the Chinese have jointly decided to abolish the emperor and respect the emperor as the king of Japan!"

"This" Gaozi was so surprised today. He looked at his father in confusion and thought: What's going on? He was a good general, so why should he be a king? And being a king doesn't necessarily mean deposing the emperor!

And why are you talking to yourself about this kind of thing? I am not the successor, nor am I about to marry the general and become the imperial palace.

Hoshina Masaichi looked serious: "Takako, do you know why Japan has an emperor?"

"I know! Because the emperor is a descendant of Amaterasu"

"Nonsense!" Masayuki Hoshina glared at his daughter, "The reason why Japan has an emperor is to make Japan independent from the sea and not become a vassal of China. But now the general trend of the world has changed, and the sea of ​​waves can no longer

Barriers between China and Japan Around the Japanese archipelago, there have long been the strong ships of China and the Western Barbarians. And Japan's hundreds of years of seclusion is about to end! And once the seclusion ends, Japan must make a decision between entering Xia and entering the barbarians.

Choose!

If Japan wants to enter the Xia Dynasty, it must surrender to the Celestial Empire, but the emperor's status is too high and it is impossible to surrender. Therefore, the Lao-China Conference decided to abolish the emperor!

At the same time, the Lao-Chinese meeting also decided to send you to the Ming Dynasty to become a concubine! From now on, you will work hard for the peace and tranquility of the Tokugawa family in the harem of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Father," Gao Zi was a little dizzy, "Daughter, how should my daughter work hard?"

Baoshi was stunned, how can you work hard at this? I don’t seem to know how to do it.

"Ah, this," Hoshina thought for a while, "My father will arrange for someone to teach you!" He paused and then said, "My father will probably ask you about the situation of the Japanese Civil War tomorrow. You must

Let the Ming Dynasty know that only if the Tokugawa family wins the war can Japan become a kingdom! If the Tokugawa family loses the war, then Japan will most likely become an empire that is hostile to the Ming Dynasty!

Moreover, the enemy of the Tokugawa family is not Satsuma Shimazu or Nagasu Mori, but countless impoverished Western samurai. Once the war begins, they will inevitably gather under the banner of overthrow! If the shogunate cannot win, then
Chapter completed!
