"What does angel mean?!"

I looked at General Yamamoto in surprise.

The three magical artifacts are royal treasures. Whether it is the Tiancongyun Sword, the Eight-Foot Qiong Gouyu, or the Yata Mirror, they are all important weapons inherited by the Emperor. The Ming people want me to prepare these three treasures. What do they want to do?

At that moment, I was really shocked and frightened.

"Your Majesty, don't be nervous."

General Yamamoto bowed deeply to me, then smiled at me, and said that this was just the thing that the Angel of Ming Dynasty wanted to personally observe the three magical tools.

"There are no other ideas other than that."

General Yamamoto assured me that I was still a little worried. After repeatedly confirming that the angels of Mingguo had no intention of stealing the royal treasure, I felt a little relieved.

Two days after that, General Yamamoto came here twice, but he did not tell me about the treasure again. He only talked to me about Buddhism and Confucianism, the new atmosphere of the new Japan country, and what is the prosperity of East Asia and goodwill tomorrow. From then on, the Japanese people will truly embrace the embrace of the motherland of Emperor Ming, and will no longer be treated cruelly by the warrior generals.

I know that I am no longer the emperor. To put it nicely, the king of New Japan, and the worse is just the puppets played with by the Ming people. Therefore, I nodded with a smile every time, trying to make General Yamamoto think that I agree with and support everything he said.

"It is really unfortunate for the people of Kyoto. I personally opposed the previous incident. However, as a member of the Imperial Army, I cannot stop the atrocities of my colleagues. If your Majesty was frightened in that incident, I sincerely apologize to Your Majesty and promise that similar incidents will never happen again in the future."

Before leaving, General Yamamoto suddenly mentioned the Kyotoko incident that occurred at the beginning of the year. The incident made me deeply frightened and deeply hurt.

I remember that the snow was falling outside at that time. I didn't know what happened, so I asked Ertou them. As a result, these Ming people's lackeys told me that the Ming army was doing sanitation and cleaning work in the city in order to change the weather in Kyoto and to match the way of the new Japan.

The ridiculous thing is that I believe it.

It was not until half a month after the incident subsided that Yoshida, Yako's brother, told me what happened. No one knew the specific death count, but the population of Kyoto dropped by about 80%.

Later, in order to embellish the so-called imperial paradise, the Ming people forced the people of the area near Kyoto to move into the city, which made Kyoto regain some vitality.

However, my heart has not calmed down, and I have never forgotten the snow that has been flying for those few days.

After Yamamoto left, Yoshida quietly came into the palace and brought me a secret letter from Hidemoto Maori.

Maori Hidemoto was an important official in the Toyotomi era and an enemy of Tokugawa Ieyasu's early years. Later, he defected to Ieyasu and became the lord of the Nagafu vassal state. He also took Ieyasu's stepdaughter as his side room. He also participated in the Osaka Battle since then. Speaking of which, this person may be a healthy old man.

It is rare that this old man still remembers me, I am a little excited.

In a secret letter, Maori Hidemoto told me that he and many vassal lords and important officials heard that Kyoto was captured by the Ming army, and His honorary title was stern, and he suspected that the title of Emperor was cancelled since then, and he was deeply sad and angry.

They hope that I can be strong and stoic. The Maori family is calling on vassal lords from all over the country to raise troops and help the shogunate fight against the Ming army and the rebellious vassals such as the Homichi, Satsuma and other rebels.

At the same time, they also hope that I can issue a "Land Edict", so that Maori can have greater confidence and appeal.

But how dare I have that courage?

I was scared, very scared. I was trembling when I thought about what happened to the Jingwuxiang incident.

Now I just hope that the people of Ming Dynasty can treat me well. I am still young and much younger than their emperors. I can wait slowly.

There had been a rebellion in the Ming Dynasty and the emperor was seriously ill. Once their emperor passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne, their national policy towards Japan would definitely change.

Oh, that's what I really think.

I thought of the old turtle Tokugawa Ieyasu. If he can win, can't I win?

Yoshida knelt down and asked me to issue a secret edict, but I refused. Seeing him leaving disappointed, I felt a little guilty. But in addition to guilt, I was even more nervous about the Ming angels coming to the palace tomorrow.

During dinner in the evening, the new Prime Minister, Hei Yoshi, came to see me. He told me that Tokugawa Hidetachi had retreated to Edo and that the Ming army was gathering elite troops to prepare for the eastern expedition. In Kansai, the original anti-strait army and the Shimazu family's army formed together for the Imperial Army. Due to the failure of the Battle of Kyoto, the shogunate rule in Kansai was basically disintegrated.

"Your Majesty, this means that the New Japan Kingdom not only exists in the Kyoto area, but also has vast land in Kansai!"

It can be seen that Pingji is very happy.

I didn't say a few words, but I was thinking in my heart that with Shimazu family, even if Kansai recovered the territory of the new Japanese country, would you, as the Prime Minister, still be able to get involved in Kansai?

But, that's good news.

The Japanese are Japanese, how could they be the Han people mentioned by the Ming people and those Confucian scholars? I believe that the Shimazu family is not a fool. They are helping the Ming people now just to gain greater benefits in this anti-scene battle.

Then, I can also give the Shimazu family benefits.

So, I also pretended to be happy to propose to Hiraki that I hope Tadahoshi Shimazu could come to Kyoto to serve as Minister of War.

Pingji was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that I would have such a proposal. It was his turn and finally said that he needed to study the Mingguo side before he could reply.

I knew what he thought, so I let him go.

Later, Tadahoshi Shimazu actually got the approval of the Ming Dynasty and became the Minister of War of the court. I was surprised and happy about this.

But if I knew that the subsequent mutiny was presided over by Tadaoshi Shimazu, I would probably never have printed it on his appointment letter.

Damn Shimazu and that damn Tenma Meteor Fist, I really misread them.

The incident of the Ming Dynasty angels entering the palace caused considerable disturbances in the entire imperial office and the court. Hei Yoshi and Nijo personally handled it. The supervisor Hu Taijun asked me to accompany him to practice several times, which made me very troubled.

I had a dispute with Mr. Hu during the meeting ceremony of the angels of Ming Dynasty.

I don't want to be too embarrassing in front of the Ming angels, so I insist on wearing the imperial robe. But Hu Taijun said that I have been demoted to rule and was the Japanese king enthroned by the Ming Emperor. According to the system, I can only wear python robes that are equivalent to the Korean king. The fastest update is mobile::

I refused, because doing so means that I completely abandoned my ancestors' foundation and became a vassal of the Ming Dynasty.

What makes me suffer is that the King Hu did not give me any face at all, nor did he care about my feelings at all. He directly ordered someone to put on the python robe in the Ming Dynasty uniform for me, and threatened me that even if you are the Japanese king personally conferred by the emperor, if you have any shortcomings, His Majesty the Emperor could not investigate this.

"This child also looks like he has a king's destiny."

Hu Taijun took away the son from Jiazi's hand, and the cabinet officials in the room watched helplessly, and no one stepped forward to stop him.

"You can't do this. I am the descendant of Emperor Shenwu Tian, ​​how can I not obey the ancestral system?" I endured the grief and anger in my heart, and for the first time I was bold enough to point at the lawless Hu Taijun.

The officials were frightened, and Hiraki looked ugly. After Nijo looked around, he came up to me and said, "What Your Majesty said is, but now it is the new Japan, no longer the Japanese country of the past. The Japanese people have ushered in a new life, and Your Majesty should usher in a new life!"

After saying this, Ertou whispered to me: "Your Majesty, don't anger Hu Taijun. This person speaks very well with the commander of the Ming Dynasty."

My hands shook.

At this time, the Hu Taijun seemed to have come back to his senses and said to me angrily: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, you understand!"

Oh my God, this Hu Taijun who killed tens of millions is actually going to be snatched from my name!

I was stunned, really stayed, and I didn't speak for a long time.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Erzhao persuaded Hu Taijun to the side first, and then reminded me that what I want to fight for now is not subjugation, but how to deal with the Ming Dynasty.

I gradually came to my senses and realized that it didn't matter what clothes I was wearing. Even if I put on a dragon robe, I wouldn't have any power.

What else can this new Japanese country do besides relying on the Ming army?

In order not to be slandered by Taijun Hu to the commander of the Ming Dynasty, I finally agreed to the humiliation of subjugation.

The next day, the commander of the Ming Dynasty finally arrived.

That day, Pingji asked someone to pave the roads of the palace on a big red carpet. The palace people were asked to dress up and lined up along the palace gate along the palace gate to my imperial hall.

The palace was decorated with lights and decorations. The banner that welcomed the Ming angels was almost fifty steps away, and all kinds of flags were inserted everywhere.

I was merciless like a fool, and they put a chair for me, but I didn't let me sit down, but instead let me stand next to a billboard.

The billboard was written with Chinese characters, as if it was a word that welcomed Mr. Wei to come.

I was already numb. Nothing I wrote or made has nothing to do with me. I only care about my three treasures. After a while, Mr. Hu asked someone to call Jiazi over and asked Jiazi to change into Han Chinese costumes in front of everyone, and then stood next to the billboard with more than a dozen palace maids in the same dress as Han women.

I wondered what I was doing.

Nijo replied: "Welcome to the guests."

At that time, my face couldn't help but twitch, and let my beloved concubine welcome the guests! Is this the new atmosphere of the New Japan country?

Just when I was about to have an attack, Hu Taijun came over with the face that seemed to have owed him money and snorted: "Your Excellency, you must understand that everyone in the new Japanese country is equal."

equality?

This is the first time I have heard of this word. What does it mean?

I don’t understand very well, and I don’t have time to let me understand. There were sounds of cannons outside the palace, saying it was a salute, who knows?

Then I heard a lot of people cheering, and then there were sounds of gongs and drums, and I was a little straightforward when I heard it.

After almost half a stick of incense, I finally saw someone.

There were about two hundred people. They beat the small drums on their waists and jumped happily to me.
