Chapter 1149: Bold
King of Japan?
When Ye Chunqiu said these four words, it immediately caused an uproar in the court.
Although Japan had the so-called "Emperor", in fact, the Ming Dynasty never recognized the emperor. Therefore, after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Taizu sent envoys to Japan, demanding that Japan ban the Japanese pirates and pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty. At that time, Japan was in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Prince Huailiang, who occupied the Kyushu area, agreed to ban the Japanese pirates and accepted the title of the "King of the Japanese" of the Ming Dynasty.
From then on, Prince Ailiang paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty in the name of "King of Japan, Huailiang" and began trading tomorrow. After the Muromachi Shogunate expelled Prince Ailiang's power, the Daname in the Muromachi Shogunate and Kyushu area still traded with the Ming Dynasty in the name of "King of Japan, Huailiang".
When the Muromachi Shogunate unified the Southern Dynasties, the general of the Shogunate's expedition, Ashikaga Yoshiman, sent envoys to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty with his concubine. Emperor Jianwen ordered Ashikaga Yoshiman to be the king of the Japanese king.
However, during the period when the envoys were stationed in China, the Jingnan Rebellion occurred in the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Wen defeated Jinling's nephew Jianwen and seized the throne. Emperor Wen, who was accused of usurping the throne, was very happy to see the arrival of the envoys of the "foreign barbarians" of Japan. He believed that the barbarians came to the court as ironclad evidence of the virtue of the emperor. Therefore, he immediately enthroned Ashikaga Yoshiman as the king of Japan, and gave the seal of the king of Japan, and officially communicated with Japan.
When it came to Zhengde and DPRK, the exchanges between the two sides were full of twists and turns, but this was not a big deal. The point is that Japan had broken off diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty, but now the king of Japan has actually come, which is enough to make everyone feel incredible.
At first everyone believed that Ye Chunqiu was now unforgivable, especially Ye Chunqiu's first crime was to act without authorization and attack Japan.
Originally, this was enough for Ye Chunqiu to be unaware of, but Ye Chunqiu actually killed Fang Tangjing in front of the Taimiao, which aroused everyone's anger.
Everyone was waiting for Ye Chunqiu to be punished, but now, Ye Chunqiu's words about the king of Japan seemed to drop a bomb, which made people incredible and even a little unresponsive.
The King of Japan is here?
If most people have to make a logical reason, it must be believed that it was not kidnapped by Ye Chunqiu? This guy is really bold.
But even Japan dares to attack without authorization and even kill Juren. What else can he not dare to do?
But if he was kidnapped, he would be even more disgusting. Then again, if he was kidnapped, there would definitely be some traces, so how could he not penetrate it?
He really believed that this king of Japan was a dignified king. When he arrived in front of the imperial court, wouldn’t he sue him? After all, being coerced by Ye Chunqiu was one thing, but when he was actually arrived in front of the imperial court, it was another thing.
There was no expression on Liu Daxia's face, but he couldn't help but feel a little shocked. He never expected Ye Chunqiu to be prepared, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that if this was the case, there would definitely be flaws and it was not difficult to guess. In this way, he calmed down.
Zhu Houzhao was confused. Damn, I'll give you a chance to tell you what you want to tell yourself. You're good. He brought all the kings of Japan. He couldn't help but admire Ye Chunqiu's big move.
But... what else can be done now? Since Ye Chunqiu has said that people have witnessed it, Zhu Houzhao feels that only God knows what the king will say when he comes.
But he couldn't help but think that if he was the king of Japan, Ye Chunqiu, who was led by the fleet, bombed his country and attacked Ningbo, and then razed Ningbo to the ground, killing and injuring tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of people, most of Zhu Houzhao would definitely hate Ye Chunqiu.
Moreover, Zhu Houzhao remembered something at this time. The Japanese had sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty. That time, Ye Chunqiu killed the Prince of Japan Ashikaga Yoshimoto who was on the mission!
If the king of Japan really came, would he say good things for Ye Chunqiu?
Zhu Houzhao shook his head and suddenly felt that Ye Chunqiu was very desperate, but the situation is complicated now, so he couldn't ask Ye Chunqiu to come and ask carefully, so he had to say, "So, is the witness coming? Is it sent to the palace."
Eunuchs had already gone to find the king of the Japanese kingdom.
In the hall, there was a silence as if no one had confirmed what the king of the Japanese would say, and no one even knew what would happen next.
However, more people who are dissatisfied with Ye Chunqiu are now looking at Ye Chunqiu at the same time. Many people have bad intentions on their faces, as if they are waiting to see Ye Chunqiu’s unlucky.
Of course, there are also shareholders such as British Duke, Dingguo Duke and Shouninghou who are quite worried about Ye Chunqiu, but when he thinks that Ye Chunqiu is committing suicide, although some people are sweating for him, they can't help but complain that everyone is asking you to build a navy to earn money. You are good, but you are going to cause trouble. Now that you have caused such a big trouble, you don't know how to end now.
But once Ye Chunqiu is over, most of the Zhenguo Mansion will be over, so many people sighed secretly.
Ye Chunqiu knew that the new army of Zhenguo and the king of Japan were coming from Tianjin Guards. According to time calculations, it should be fast to enter the capital now, but it must take some time.
Since he had already made plans in his heart, he was not worried, but instead seemed bored. When he looked up, he saw Shouning Hou winking at him, with an expression that I had to eat you.
At this time, Ye Chunqiu remembered something and he said slowly, "Your Majesty, this witness needs to wait for a while. I happen to have something to do and need to start the report."
Zhu Houzhao had long felt that he had been idle. He was bored and was holding the imperial case. In front of all civil and military officials, he was not good at talking to Ye Chunqiu. However, Ye Chunqiu came to talk to him, which made him worried, but he also wiped out his depression and said, "What's the matter with you, my dear?"
Ye Chunqiu said: "I am in Japan, and all over the country are cheering and thunderous, so I gathered five million taels of silver and two thousand kilograms of gold to give it to Zhenguo Mansion to express my feelings."
“…”
If the witness who said just now was just scary, but the five million silver patterns and two thousand kilograms of gold were enough to make people shocked.
This is such a huge wealth. You should know that the current silver income of the court is only two million taels, which is equivalent to the annual income of the treasury for two and a half years. Although the Ming Dynasty issued a physical tax and the current silver was just a municipal tax, the five million was still shocking.
Zhu Houzhao opened her mouth wide and couldn't speak.
