    The country of Japan, the Eastern Capital.

    This is the current capital of the Japanese state, and its city layout generally follows the style of the Zhou Dynasty.

    The emperor of Japan, known as Emperor Shotoku, is over forty years old and has been in the position of emperor for more than ten years.  Although Emperor Shotoku was the supreme ruler of Japan, he did not hold power.

    Today's Japanese country is controlled by the shogunate, and it is not the emperor who has the final say.

    Emperor Shotoku is just a puppet.

    The shogun of this generation is named Abe Kiyomasa, and he is the shogun of Japan.

    Abe Kiyomasa¡¯s age is over fifty, quite old.  In the Japanese territory, the average age of people is only about forty years old.  Even those who are forty years old are considered old people. Abe Kiyomasa is already fifty years old and is already considered an elder and a long-lived person.

    Kiyomasa Abe is now the fifteenth shogun of the Abe shogunate, and has been passed down for hundreds of years.  However, when Abe Kiyomasa took over as shogun in the past, the strength of the entire Abe shogunate was extremely weak, and the Japanese country was also in great chaos.

    The emperor at that time fully supported Abe Kiyomasa. In addition, Abe Kiyomasa himself was resourceful and courageous. Under his hard work, Japan was able to correct the chaos and gradually regain its strength.

    By the time the previous generation of emperors died of illness and Emperor Shotoku succeeded to the throne, Abe Kiyomasa's strength had been consolidated. He began to seek strength and expansion, integrating the entire Japanese country into one, and it was no longer a feudal system.

    When Abe Kiyomasa was young, he went to study in Dazhou in person.

    At that time, the state of Zhou Dynasty was extremely powerful. The barbarians bowed their heads and all countries came to court.  At that time, the Japanese country was like an ant in front of the Zhou Dynasty, and the disparity in strength was extremely huge.

    Because Abe Kiyoshi was studying in the Great Zhou Dynasty, he saw a more advanced system and experienced himself, so he could slowly take power after returning to his country.  When Emperor Shotoku reaches his peak, he can follow the example of the Great Zhou and centralize power little by little.

    It¡¯s just that this centralization of power was not concentrated in the imperial family, but in the hands of the shogunate.

    Although the process was difficult, it got better little by little.  After more than ten years, local officials in the Japanese country governed Qingming, and even local officials were all controlled by the shogunate.

    In the past, the Japanese state implemented a feudal system in local areas, and the royal family and shogunate had very weak control over local areas.  Moreover, each locality was engaged in conquest, and it was such a mess that there was no strength at all.

    Abe Kiyomasa gradually gathered power and transferred the appointment power of local officials to the shogunate.  This snowballed little by little, and the strength of the shogunate has now become very tyrannical.

    Abe Kiyomasa is not satisfied with this.

    He wants to expand.

    Because he had seen the wealth and treasures of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he hoped that the Japanese country could set foot in the Great Zhou Dynasty.  After all, a single state in the Zhou Dynasty far exceeded the entire territory of the Japanese state, which was incomparable to the Japanese state.

    In the past few years of the Zhou Dynasty, there have been countless bandits and bandits in the area, and even more princes have proclaimed themselves kings and emperors, and the country has been completely in chaos.  So under this premise, Abe Kiyomasa began to plan the layout.

    Abe is doing things fairly and prudently.

    He is not a person who is eager for success. If he were an ordinary person, he had studied in Dazhou and seen the advancement of Dazhou, and he might be impatient to implement the system of Dazhou.  Kiyomasa Abe was not. He was very patient and endured the death of the previous emperor. When Emperor Shotoku succeeded to the throne, he took over the power and pushed forward little by little, so he succeeded.

    Just as Abe clearly planned to deal with Dazhou, he was also extremely cautious and did not directly attack.  Once troops are sent, the two countries will go to war and it will be difficult to control the situation.

    Abe Kiyomasa¡¯s plan is to arrange for Hattori Saburo to lead people to pretend to be ronin, to build a foundation bit by bit, and to test the direct lineage of Dazhou bit by bit. Abe Kiyomasa even arranged for Takeda Katsuo to assist.

    Abe Kiyomasa just wanted to take control of the Dazhou area bit by bit through steady actions, and then occupy the Dazhou area like a spring breeze. Finally, when the Dazhou area was in chaos, he would send troops to intervene and take control of the area.

    The study room in the backyard of the shogunate at this moment.

    Abe Kiyomasa supervises his son¡¯s studies. Abe Kiyomasa is already over fifty. It stands to reason that at his age, he can be a grandfather.  It's just that in his early years, he always gave birth to daughters. He gave birth to more than ten daughters in one go, but he never saw a son.

    When he was thirty-nine years old, a concubine became pregnant.  When he was forty years old, Abe Kiyomasa had his first son, so he has always been very concerned about it.  Abe Kiyomasa attaches great importance to his son's education. He has taken him with him since he was a child and has always taught him personally.

    His son Abe Seifumi is fourteen years old and very smart.  Even though Abe Seifumi is young, Abe Kiyomasa has already involved his son in many government affairs of the shogunate to understand his son's views in order to train his son.

    &nAfter an hour, an attendant came in and reported: "General, the envoy of the State of Qi, Zhou Zishan, wants to see you."

    "please!"

    Abe Kiyomasa gave an order.

    The attendant went to deliver the order. Not long after, Zhou Zishan stepped in.  At this time, Zhou Zishan was wearing a large collared shirt and a long crown, showing an elegant demeanor.

    Zhou Zishan is tall and tall, nearly 180 centimeters tall.  In the Japanese country, he stands out from the crowd. He has a solemn look on his face, and has a windy step when he walks, showing great grace.

    ¡°This outfit and appearance alone overwhelmed many Japanese civil and military generals.

    After Abe Kiyomasa saw it, he secretly praised it in his heart.

    What a great envoy from heaven.

    This kind of honor is really extraordinary and admirable.

    After Zhou Zishan stood still, he raised his hands in salute and said, neither humble nor arrogant: "Zhou Zishan, the envoy of the State of Qi, has met General Abe."

    "idiot!"

    At this moment, a general stood up.

    The general looked angry and said in Japanese language: "When you see the general, why don't you kneel down?"

    As soon as the words came out, someone relayed and translated them.

    After Zhou Zishan heard this, he dusted off his robe, raised his head, glanced at the general sideways, and said: "I am an envoy from the superior country. I came to the Japanese country. Why should I kneel down? If I kneel down, wouldn't it be like heaven and earth?"  Hanging upside down, the king and his ministers are not in harmony.¡±

    After a pause, Zhou Zishan continued: "What's more, I came to see General Abe, and General Abe hasn't spoken yet. Why are you anxious? Speaking of which, this is really an eye-opener for me. In my country of Qi,  In such a solemn ceremony, the master did not speak, and the subordinates intervened without permission, so they were pulled out and beaten to death with sticks."

    The general said angrily: "You are looking for death!"

    Wang Qi shrugged, looking very casual, and said: "Come on, if you want to kill me, just come. I am just a weak scholar. It is very easy to kill me."

    The general wanted to speak, but Abe Kiyomasa waved his hand to stop him and said: "Shut up!"

    His words are still Japanese language.

    Then, just paraphrase it.

    Abe Kiyomasa glared at the general who spoke, and immediately the general sat down again.  Abe Kiyomasa could speak Zhou Zishan's words, so he could understand Zhou Zishan's words, but he did not say anything and continued: "Why did you come as an envoy?"
