"This is indeed impossible." Hosokawa Noriyuki had to nod and admitted that the master's analysis was reasonable.
The road guide system of the Ming Dynasty was very strict. A farmer had no chance to go to sea, let alone go to Jeolla Province.
Komatsu Lingzi then lowered his head and continued, "So, Xu Chengfei must have a high position in the Ming Dynasty, otherwise he would not be able to have so much food and weapons."
"My subordinates thought so too, so after they heard that Xu Chengfei was Marquis Kuang Yi, they decided that it was him without thinking about it. But who knew that it turned out not to be the case?" Hosokawa Noriyuki couldn't help but shake his head as he spoke,
He was obviously the most likely person, but he found the wrong person. Now that he was looking for him again, he didn't know how to start.
Komatsu Reiko casually threw away the information found by Hosokawa Noriyuki. These things were of little use.
He sneered, "Then there's only one possibility. He didn't use his real name in the first place."
When Hosokawa Mokiyuki heard this, he couldn't help but frown and said, "If he uses a pseudonym, that would be troublesome. The Ming Dynasty is so big, where can we find him?"
Komatsu Reiko said, "I said that the person who can accomplish this must be a person with high authority in the Ming Dynasty. Even if he is not a marquis, he is at least an earl, or a second or third-rank minister of the Ming Dynasty. And such a person is
How many will there be? It's a good guess, but it's just over a hundred people. Let's use the stupidest method to find him one by one, and we can finally find him."
"This is a way, but Master, there are so many dignitaries in the Ming Dynasty, do we really have to search for them one by one? When will we find them?" Hosokawa Mochizuki was not afraid of hard work, he was afraid of not having enough time.
Yesterday, officials from the Ministry of Rites said that he had passed the etiquette instruction and was qualified to meet the emperor. Now it depends on when the emperor has time to summon him.
And after the emperor summons him, he might be rewarded with something and then let him go back.
If this is done quickly, it may not even take a month. Even if it is done slowly, it will only take two months at most.
If they were to search one by one, they might not be able to find anyone yet, and they would have to go back.
Komatsu Lingzi glared at him and said bitterly, "We are here to surrender and pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty. The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty will definitely summon you in front of hundreds of officials. By then, all the dignitaries and dignitaries of the Ming Dynasty will be present. How can we not find anyone?"
?”
"Well done, Master!" Hosokawa Mochiyuki's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but admire his master's quick thinking.
Obviously just now he was worried that Emperor Ming would summon him soon, but now he was eager that Emperor Ming would summon him immediately.
But Zhu Biao was not just an envoy from a vassal country who met him just when he met him.
Although Zhu Biao was happy that the Japanese could come to pay tribute, he was busy with his affairs and forgot about the Japanese envoys as soon as he got busy.
Komatsu Reiko and Hosokawa Mokiyuki waited in the hall for more than ten days, but there was no news of the emperor's summons.
On this day, Han Du called Tang Ding and Xu Chengfei to talk.
The location is on a painting boat. Speaking of which, this painting boat was originally built by Lan Yu.
But since Lan Yu took control of the border, the boat has been idle. Except for Han Du who occasionally went to Liang Guogong's mansion to borrow one or two, no one used it. However, although there are many boats on the Qinhuai River, the most eye-catching one is
Or the Duke of Liang’s Mansion.
Because almost all Han Du borrowed this boat, and whenever he borrowed it, there would be singers from Jiaofangsi performing songs and dances on the boat.
Not only has Jiaofangsi's current reputation not diminished at all, but it is still at its peak and arrogant in the capital. Many people who are reluctant to spend money and want to see Jiaofangsi sing and dance, this painted boat is the best place for them to feast their eyes on when it is out.
Chance.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
After the song and dance, Han Du had no choice but to applaud and shout "hello" three times in succession.
It has to be said that there are some smart people in the Jiaofang Division. Han Du just integrated some modern entertainment concepts into the Jiaofang Division, and someone came up with new ones and choreographed dance music that was refreshing to Han Du.
Looking back, I saw Tang Ding sighing, and couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter? Is the dance not good, or the music is not beautiful enough? Why is it like this?"
With that said, Han Du picked up the wine pot and filled the soup cauldron with wine.
After hearing this, Tang Ding forced a smile and said, "Oh! You led troops into battle to kill the enemy, and now you are sweeping across the grassland and your reputation has spread all over the world. It's so majestic! But what about me? Since I inherited my father's title, I can only stay here.
In this capital city, apart from eating and waiting to die, there is nothing good for you."
Han Du snorted coldly and said, "Isn't it good enough to eat and wait to die? Is the wine not spicy enough, or the meat is not fragrant enough? To be honest, my goal has always been to eat and wait to die. It is best not to do anything. You
I have fulfilled my dream ahead of schedule, and I still feel uncomfortable. What else do you want?"
"That's right, even if Han Du and I are so majestic on the grassland, we really don't know where we will be tomorrow.
It's death. Compared with staying in the capital, it's far worse." Xu Chengfei also quickly helped.
After hearing this, Tang Ding shook his head slightly and sighed, "What's the benefit of staying in the capital? You don't even have the chance to make contributions. How can you be so comfortable on the grassland?"
Han Du immediately put down his wine glass and said, "I don't like hearing what you say. Let me ask you, what are you trying to achieve through your achievements? Isn't it just to get a promotion? To be honest, if I were like you, Dad
If you can leave me the position of Duke of the country, I have been waiting to die for a long time, and I can still run around and work hard until today? If you don't believe it, just watch, I am also a Duke now, look at whether I am waiting to die and wait for it.
Death is the end."
"Hahaha, then speaking of which, I still need to work harder to build a career." Xu Chengfei smiled nonchalantly.
Among the three, Han Du and Tang Ding were both dukes, and he was the only one who was a marquis.
Han Du looked at him and said with a smile, "You are almost a Marquis and a Duke. Maybe in a few years, the Emperor will change you to a Duke."
Seeing this, Tang Ding drank a glass of wine with a smile. It was as if all the melancholy in his heart disappeared as he drank the glass of wine.
Smiling, he teased Xu Chengfei and said, "Although you are a marquis, you are rich in beauty!"
After saying that, he winked at Xu Chengfei.
When Han Du heard this, he immediately became energetic.
Men are like this, as long as they talk about women, they can instantly lift everyone's spirits. This nature will not change due to different status.
"Oh? What Yanfu?" Han Du asked curiously.
Tang Ding pretended to be surprised and said, "You don't know? Our Marquis Kuang Yi was blocked by a beauty. Although no one has seen the face of that woman, you can tell that she is stunning when you look at her figure. You are so good
What a blessing!”
The last words were said to Xu Chengfei.
"Is there such a good thing? When will you bring the person to us to meet?" Han Du teased Xu Chengfei with a smile.
Everyone, please go and try it soon.
Xu Chengfei smiled and sighed, "What Yanfu, it's just a misunderstanding. She wanted to find someone, but she found the wrong person."
But Tang Ding didn't believe it at all. He curled his lips and said, "Listen, are you looking for the wrong person? Ask Han Du if he will believe it! There are still such strange things in the world. She didn't look for anyone else, but she looked for you.
?”
"I don't believe it!" Han Du shook his head seriously.
"ha
Haha~" Han Du and Tang Ding burst into laughter instantly.
When Xu Chengfei saw that the two of them didn't believe it, he was also very helpless. He didn't expect that this matter was obviously a misunderstanding, but in the end, the news spread even more than it started. Moreover, after people who knew him well heard that it was a misunderstanding, not only did no one believe it
, instead, like Han Du and Tang Ding, they couldn't help but make fun of him.
But that woman didn't come to his house now, and he couldn't find her whereabouts. Even if he wanted to confront her and explain things to her, he couldn't find her.
A black pot was placed firmly on his head. Xu Chengfei felt that he was even more unjust than Dou E.
Hosokawa Noriyuki did not wait for the Ming Emperor's summons for a long time, and was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
The official who was drinking with him saw him and asked curiously. After understanding Hosokawa Noriyuki's anxiety, the official pointed out a clear way to him.
"The emperor has so many things to do, how could he remember every envoy who came to see him? Do you want the emperor to summon you as soon as possible? There is no way out."
"What method? Please let me know." When Hosokawa Noriyuki heard that there was a way for the Ming Emperor to summon him as soon as possible, he quickly stood up and bowed to the official.
After accepting his visit, the official sat on his chair with his mouth closed, and only a few raised fingers were rubbing his whole body.
When Hosokawa Mochiyuki first arrived, he didn't know the meaning of this action. Now he was still familiar with it, and he quickly took out a piece of silver from his arms and handed it to the official.
"Please help me, sir."
The official weighed the silver in his hand and knew that there were ten taels. He suddenly said with a smile on his face, "You already know the benefits of this thing, why can't you think of a way? If you want the emperor to see you as soon as possible, it's actually not difficult, as long as there are people
If you say a few nice words for you in front of the emperor, the emperor will naturally see you."
"If you are willing to help me, I will express my deep gratitude." Hosokawa Noriyuki bowed again.
But the official waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Of course I can't do it. I'm a low-key person, so how can I be qualified to help you with this?"
Hosokawa Noriyuki quickly asked, "Who do you think can help me?"
The official smiled and stretched out a finger, pointed upward, and said with a smile, "Of course it is my immediate superior, Mr. Chen Di and Mr. Chen. If you can get through Mr. Chen's door, then as long as Mr. Chen makes a precondition before the emperor,
If I mention you, I will naturally summon you."
"Thank you, sir, for your guidance." After saying that, Hosokawa Mokiyuki took out another ten taels of silver and stuffed it into the official's hand.
