Eight hundred and fourth chapter Guotai Minan

In the Ping'an Jingfu Garden, several men in bunches of flowers and brocades walked in hurriedly. The officials kneeling in the office bowed and greeted each other. They ignored the officials and walked towards the corridor without any obstacles. The guards on the corridor stood silently and bowed silently.

When I went up the stairs, I saw the back of Fujiwara Mirai, the minister of the Guanshi Guan. The most powerful person in Japan is not the Emperor, but this person with gray hair, wide body and fat body, a relative of the foreign minister, Fujiwara Mirai.

"Left Minister!" people bowed and bowed.

Immediately someone couldn't wait to say, "That thing must have been done by Ono! This person is really bold and reckless!"

Fujiwara Miku still turned his back to people, standing in front of the window without saying a word.

The wooden windows are open, and today's weather is calm. The sight here is excellent. The buildings of Heianjing and the mountains and rivers in the distance are all faintly visible. The white clouds on the top of the mountain are in the bright sunshine, exuding a mysterious color.

People were talking excitedly, "Originally, our country did not have to have a feud with the Central Plains, but now I have no reason to secretly kill the people of Xu, wouldn't it be a matter of trouble? The Xu court will definitely not give up!"

Others agreed, "Senator Ono wrote a letter not long ago that the local officials colluded with foreigners to plot against silver mines and land in our country, and sold them. They were harmful and useless, so they demanded severe punishment. With his political views, it was reasonable to do such things."

"What Ono reported is all right, but these methods are too reckless and stupid..."

Fujiwara Mirai thought for a long time and turned around and said, "It is not possible to confirm that the assassination is done by Senator Ono, and I will talk about it after the investigation is made."

Someone asked below: "How should I respond to the new season of Xu Guo?"

Fujiwara Mirai calmly said: "Each department has its own duties, do I have to do everything myself?"

When everyone heard that he was unhappy, they immediately stopped and bowed.

"Summon Fujiwara Asahizu, Ono Yoko comes, I ask them in person." Fujiwara Mirai said again.

Several people were moved by the attitude of the Minister Guan, but although they were not clear about it, they could only say goodbye with tactfulness.

Some people did this recklessly, but it was very complicated after the incident. Fujiwara Mirai felt very difficult... He also believed that the assassination should have been done by Ono Yoko. There was no self-interest in this matter, only political reasons. Not many people with this strength and willingness to do it.

However, there are two types of people killed. The first type is the local lord and the subordinate officials. Compared with the nobles, people with low status are not suitable for severe punishment of Ono family. At least they cannot uproot the Ono family and his large number of his supporters. The second type is the Xu people, and the Heian Kyo court dared not openly punish Ono Yoko and explain to the Xu people. In this way, Fujiwara Mirai's prestige will drop sharply and is considered a weak and incompetent government!

Therefore, Fujiwara Mirai Ben used the excuse of "not verified yet" in public and did not dare to act rashly.

If you are not weak, do you have to be tough on Xu? Minister Fujiwara feels powerless again. In the past few years, there were two rebellions (Chengping Tianqing Rebellion), and the court's military power is powerless to suppress it. Now, a great enemy has been established, and Minister Fujiwara is worried. The lowly Zhuang officials and samurai have made the nobles unable to control it...

Fujiwara Mirai stood at a high place, and the beautiful scenery of Heian Kyo was right in front of her. The sound of singing and dancing in the breeze was vaguely heard, but he felt a chill.

After a long time, a servant came in to report the person he had met.

"Shhhh..." As he gasped, he saw a big fat man appearing at the door. "Bang!" His huge body hit the door and was actually stuck.

"Swish..." The servant beside him laughed out loud without hesitation, and then made a serious expression regretfully, and bent his waist slightly.

"Oh, ah!" Fujiwara Tosae finally retreated, leaned his body sideways, and squeezed in desperately, bent his legs and squeezed into the door in a very strange posture, as if he had accomplished a feat, breathing a long sigh of relief.

"The lower official is to meet the left minister." Fujiwara Asahidao.

Then the thin and clean face Ono Yoko came in and bowed to greet him as usual.

"Look at the tea." Fujiwara Mirai ordered.

Asae Fujiwara got the permission and sat down next to the coffee table. The wooden floor trembled. Fujiwara Mirai frowned. Ono Yokoya knelt down on the futon with her hands, gently placed the sign in her hand next to the table. Her manner was very polite and calm, and her dress and temperament were also neat.

"I'm the famous calligraphy master ono Mori, who is from the world. Ono is from a noble family and is good at calligraphy and tea ceremony." Fujiwara Mirai said calmly.

Ono Yoko bowed and said, "After being promoted by the left minister, the lower officials are far inferior to their younger brothers, because the lower officials are military strategists."

Fujiwara Mirai said: "In the past, pure friends caused trouble, and it was all up to Ono to make contributions to the country."

At this time, Fujiwara, who was neglected, said to Cheng: "Ono, just say it straight, you did the matter in Ishimiku!"

Fujiwara Mirai thought that Ono Yoko would not admit it. As expected, Ono Yoko said: "How could the low-ranking official stay in Heian Kyoto, how could it be related to what happened in Ishimi Country? However, this matter may not be a bad thing!"

"Oh?" Fujiwara Mirai seriously felt the meaning of this thin little soldier's dialect. While denying specific things, she did not hide her position at all, giving people a sense of confidence... and even fearlessness.

Yoshiguru Ono said: "Foreign countries bully their own country, and giving in will only make them more aggressive! When Xu's power in Japan increases, it will be even more difficult to deal with those who ignore the shame of the emperor!

Now that things have come to this point, it is better to take advantage of the fact that the Xu Kingdom has few people and has not achieved power to destroy their strongholds and drive them down the sea. With the vast ocean, it is inconvenient to send troops to provide supplies to protect the emperor and his people."

Fujiwara Asahara frowned and said, "Ono-kun often mingles with those samurai and loses the courtesy of the nobles."

Yoshiki Ono said: "I'm afraid it's the one who often gets entangled with the samurai who is confused?"

"You..." Fujiwara Asahuri seemed to understand what Ono was referring to.

Fujiwara Mirata raised his hand to stop them, and said quietly: "After the conscription system was abolished, the Long March kids are now useless. What should I use to deal with the Xu army? I am afraid I can only rely on the Samurai Order. Although Ono Jun is a military strategist, he is a nobleman. We always rely on Samurai, which is not a good thing."

Ono Yoshiguro said: "The left minister clearly understands, and the subordinates know that there are only hundreds of people in the Ishimi country. After the matter worsens, the local subordinate departments dare not collude with it easily, and it will become increasingly difficult for Xu people to replenish supplies. The left minister should also pay attention to external threats and do not delay and be difficult to deal with."

Fujiwara Mirai said again: "Once he has a head-on fight with the people of Xu, he is afraid that his attack on Heian Kyo will worry His Majesty the Emperor."

Ono Yokohadao: "The sea road is too far, Xu Guo can't do it."

Fujiwara Mirai did not make any statement.

Yoko Ono said again: "This matter should be reported to the Emperor and let the Emperor give in!"

Fujiwara Mirai also felt that it was necessary. He felt that the consequences were unpredictable and he was unwilling to take charge of the Minister of Justice alone. Everyone should be allowed to express their attitude and not be shirked to him in the future.

However, Fujiwara Mirai finally reminded Ono Yoko: "Ono has ambitions, but you must consider things carefully and never make a big mistake for impulse."

After saying that, he turned his head and looked out the window, looking as if he no longer talked to them. Ono Yoshikawa's vision was not far away. It seemed that only he saw a great problem, and others didn't understand it. In fact, in Fujiwara Mirai's opinion, this person did not understand the government affairs at all. He had ambition but should still be trained.

...The daily national affairs of Japan were not handled by the Emperor himself, and most of the real power was in the hands of the Minister of the Heguan period; but the Emperor was not a puppet, and had considerable decision-making power, and the most important thing was the lofty status and prestige. There were power contradictions between the king and his ministers, and they were also dependent on each other.

Most of the imperial party members were from the Fujiwara family, and they were maintaining the operation of the imperial court. The ministers also needed the descendants of the royal family, the sacred descendants of Amaterasuta, to ensure their authority.

Emperor Chengming was invited by his ministers and went to court to preside over the national affairs.

As soon as Cheng Ming arrived at the court, he sat in front of the large screen embroidered with cherry blossoms. The ministers immediately respectfully set off an inexplicable halo on his body.

I wish the country and the people to be safe, Cheng Ming spoke in this tone, but he did not judge government affairs in a positive tone. The monarch and ministers can maintain balance and each have their own rules. If Cheng Ming is too persistent, he cannot guarantee the implementation of the decree, which will not only arouse conflicts with the ministers of the Guanguan, but also have an impact on his authority.

So the ministers started arguing. Fujiwara Asaeki was afraid of being accused of "traitoring the country", so he took the lead in attacking and pointed his fat finger at Ono Yoko: "Onone assassinated foreigners without authorization, causing His Majesty the Emperor and the court to fall into a state of advance and retreat. He should be severely punished!"

Yoko Ono immediately bowed under the emperor and said, "I am lucky to protect His Majesty the Emperor. If the emperor blames the crime, I am willing to punish myself and apologize!"

When Cheng Ming heard this, he immediately looked at Ono Haogu for a few more times. However, he still did not express his attitude and simply fell silent.

The group of people who are arguing are not people who can completely determine the national policy. Neither the Emperor nor the Minister of Auditor Murawara was willing to express their attitudes and propositions.

...Ono Yoko secretly speculated that the reason might be that the court was unwilling to break up with the Western powers, and at the same time he did not want to expose the court's powerless situation... he planned to delay it like this.

However, Yoko Ono's political views are very clear. He learned from all sides that the people of Xu were for the sake of the silver mines of Japan. Perhaps as long as they could stand firm, they wanted to eat up the land. Moreover, Xu's army was not strong in crossing the east, and at the current situation, they should rise up and resist!

He just murmured in his heart that the people below were a bit unreliable to do things! He originally meant to cut the mess quickly and kill two subordinates of Zhuangzi to serve as a warning, thus affecting the spirit of the Ping'anjing court... However, the people who took action killed the Xu people together! This was the situation where the envoys of Xu went to Ping'anjing to put pressure on the situation, which made things worse.
