When Zhou Zishan saw Wang Qi, he was very excited. He bowed and said: "I, Zhou Zishan, pay my respects to His Highness. I have returned from my mission to Japan and have lived up to His Highness's high expectations. Today, the Crown Prince of Japan came in person to hand over his credentials as a minister. Now he is here Waiting outside the palace."
Wang Qi waved his hand and said, "Thank you, military advisor."
Zhou Zishan said: "I don't have to work hard."
After a pause, Zhou Zishan said: "Your Highness, this time the Japanese country sent Crown Prince Uesugi Hoshihide as an envoy, and gave another 500,000 taels of silver as compensation. All the supplies have been delivered."
"After my trip to the Japanese country, I learned about the situation in the Japanese country and found that there was a very strange system in the Japanese country. This system, let me call it the shogunate system."
"Under this system, the Japanese emperor is not a person in power, he is like a puppet."
"The person in power is the shogunate Abe Kiyomasa. He holds all the power of the Japanese country, and he has full authority to handle all military and government affairs. Of course, the original Japanese country was a feudal system, and many princes were enfeoffed to local areas."
"Today's Japanese country has changed. The shogunate has centralized power, and all power is concentrated in the shogunate."
"The strength of the Japanese country is not weak."
Zhou Zishan talked eloquently and continued to elaborate on the general situation of the Japanese state. Finally, he said: "The Japanese state has the power to fight externally. However, at present, there is a huge contradiction between the monarchy and the ministerial power in the Japanese state. This is something that I think I can take advantage of." Yes. Along the way, I have been getting closer to Uesugi Hoshihide."
Wang Qi thought for a while and said with a smile: "In this way, if we take the lead in provoking internal strife among the Japanese, it will be of great help to our next crusade against the Japanese."
"yes!"
Zhou Zishan immediately responded and said: "This is my consideration. We can further divide the Japanese country from this aspect. After all, even if the Japanese emperor has a judgment, he will do it for the sake of power."
Wang Qi nodded and said: "In that case, let's meet the people of Japan first."
Zhou Zishan said: "Your Highness is wise!"
Wang Qi ordered: "Come, tell the Japanese to come in."
"yes!"
The chamberlain outside the hall immediately went to deliver the order.
It didn¡¯t take long before Uesugi Hoshihide and Akabane Tsusaki entered. As for the rest of the Japanese accompanying them, they were unable to enter and were all waiting outside.
The two of them entered, both taking small steps, and quickly stood in the hall.
Uesugi Hoshihide is in his early twenties. He is not much different from Wang Qi in age. However, when he saw Wang Qi's majesty and handsome appearance, he couldn't help but admire in his heart. He is worthy of being the King of Qi in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Just by looking at it, it looks majestic.
Uesugi Hoshihide knelt down, knelt with his head on the ground, and said respectfully: "The envoy from the lower country, Uesugi Hoshihide, pays homage to His Royal Highness the King of Qi, and wishes His Highness long live the King of Qi."
Akabane Tsusaki also knelt down and repeated it. After all, the two of them had already said the words of salute. In particular, what Uesugi Hoshihide said just now was something he had practiced in advance and explained in Dazhou Mandarin.
It¡¯s just that the words are awkward, but I can understand them at least.
Wang Qi waved his hand and said: "Pingshen!"
"Thank you, King Qi!"
Uesugi Hoshihide stood up again.
At this time, Uesugi Hoshihide took out the credential of vassalage that he had prepared from his sleeves, held it in his hands, and said: "King Qi, this is the credential of our Japanese state. The Japanese state declares its vassalage to the Qi state, and is willing to serve the Qi state." As a vassal country, please accept it from the King of Qi."
These words are Japanese language.
There are a lot of words to explain, and it is difficult for Uesugi Hoshihide to just memorize them by rote, so at the moment, he still explains it in the words of Japan, and Akabane Tsusaki translates it.
Zhou Zishan took it and handed it into Wang Qi's hand.
Wang Qi glanced through it briefly, then threw it aside, nodded and said: "Uesugi Hoshihide, I heard from Military Advisor Zhou that the person in charge of your Japanese country is not the emperor, but Shogun General Abe Kiyomasa, right?"
Uesugi Hoshihide's cheeks twitched.
This is the ugliness of Japan.
Wang Qi said it in front of everyone, which was like a slap in the face. After all, the royal family had no rights, which was really embarrassing.
Uesugi Hoshihide didn't know how to answer for a moment, but Akabane Tsusaki had full experience and said: "I, Akabane Tsusaki, have met His Highness Prince Qi."
Wang Qi nodded and said calmly: "What do you have to say?"
Akabane Tsusame said: "Reporting to the King of Qi, the Japanese country has always had a system where the emperor and the shogunate coexist. The emperor is authorized by the gods.??Insufficient. The current provocation is not intense enough. "
Wang Qi smiled and said: "On this occasion, if Uesugi Hoshihide has some ambitions and aspirations, they will definitely come to see him again. Because without my help, the power of the Emperor of Japan is far from enough."
"They can't compete with the shogun."
"To resist Abe Kiyomasa, or even kill Abe Kiyomasa, we can only rely on external force, that is, our power. So I conclude that after they went down to discuss it, they came back to ask for a meeting."
Wang Qi said: "When the time comes, we will make further arrangements and adjustments. After all, we are young people and it is easy to fool."
Zhou Zishan said: "Your Highness is wise!"
Wang Qi changed the topic and said: "The military advisor has returned triumphantly. This is a good thing and worthy of celebration. Come and serve wine and meat."
After giving the order, all the attendants filed in.
This is the wine and meat that has been prepared long ago. The wine is Wuliangye, and the meat is cold or cooked. They are all excellent dishes. After all, today¡¯s condiments, with the addition of chili, taste even better.
The banquet started, everyone exchanged glasses, and the atmosphere was very warm.
Zhou Zishan responded one by one, and he was even more grateful to Wang Qi. Wang Qi had prepared so much for him when he returned in triumph. Not only did he welcome him with King Qi¡¯s chariot, but now he also held a banquet specially for him to receive the wind and wash away the dust. .
While the banquet was in full swing, Uesugi Hoshihide and others finished handing over and temporarily returned to the inn to stay.
Uesugi Hoshihide invited Akabane Tsusaki alone.
Uesugi Xingxiu's eyes were gloomy and he said in a deep voice: "Teacher, what do you think of the many things Wang Qi mentioned just now?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
