Chapter One Thousand Five Hundred and Sixty-One: Reveal Your Identity
When the emperor looked at him like this, Wang Yue was shocked and came back to his senses. He quickly lowered his head and said, "Back to the emperor, Duke Zhen Guo has been entangled by that Japanese girl recently."
"Japanese girl? What Japanese girl?" Zhu Biao has a question mark on his forehead. He has been busy dealing with government affairs recently. There are more than a thousand guard stations in the grassland. All of these guard stations must be allocated to the grassland tribes. Who should be allocated to them?
Those people made Zhu Biao very anxious.
Therefore, he did not pay any attention to the recent events in the capital.
When Wang Yue saw it, he quickly explained, "Your Majesty, it's like this."
After Zhu Biao heard this, he frowned and said dissatisfied, "It's just a Japanese girl. First she slandered Marquis Kuang Yi, and now she ran to block the gate of Zhen Guogong's Mansion. What does Ying Tian Mansion do? Just let her do whatever she wants in the capital."
?”
Wang Yue was suddenly startled and hurriedly said, "I will send someone to tell Ying Tian Fu Yin and ask Hui Tong Guan to strictly control him."
"No need!" Zhu Biao waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "It's not long before the Japanese envoys come to the capital, right? Let the Ministry of Rites return the gift and let them go back and forth wherever they go."
Han Du was not only Zhu Biao's beloved minister, but also Anqing's consort. This Japanese girl went everywhere to publicize what happened between her and Han Du. Isn't this a slap in the face of Anqing and Ming Dynasty?
As an elder brother, Zhu Biao would naturally not let his sister be wronged. ??
"According to the decree."
At noon that day, Hosokawa Mokiyuki received a message from the officials of the Ministry of Rites. The Ming Emperor rewarded them with many things, but none of them were gold and silver. The rewards were mainly banknotes. Do you think this thing is valuable?
It is money in itself. Hosokawa Mokiyuki can just go out and buy things with it. But you say it is worthless, right? The value of this thing in the Japanese country is extremely high. It is a real hard currency, and its value is higher than that in the Ming Dynasty.
Out exactly ten times.
With the imperial edict in hand, Hosokawa Mokiyuki came to the door of Komatsu Reiko's room.
Dong-dong-dong, knock three times.
"Owner."
"Didn't I tell you? Don't bother me!" A violent voice came from inside the room.
Of course, Hosokawa Noriyuki did not dare to disturb Komatsu Reiko rashly, but now that Emperor Ming had ordered them to go back, even if he didn't want to come, he couldn't.
"Master, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty has issued a decree, asking us to set off back in three days."
There was no sound in the room. After a moment, there was a creak and the door in front of Hosokawa Noriyuki opened.
He raised his head slightly and saw that his master's hair was disheveled and his face was sallow. It was obvious that he hadn't taken care of it for many days.
Seeing his master's eyes falling on his hands, Hosokawa Mokiyuki suddenly turned around and quickly handed over the imperial edict with both hands.
<
br> Komatsu Lingzi opened it and glanced at it, and immediately sneered, "Okay, what a Handu, what a princess of Anqing, you are trying to drive me away!"
She had just come back from Anqing out of anger, and now the Ming Emperor suddenly issued an order to let them go back. If Anqing hadn't begged the emperor to drive her away, she wouldn't have believed it.
Although she was crushed to pieces, she didn't think she lost just like that. She just lost one game, not everything.
"You want to drive me away? It's simply a delusion!"
Seeing that his master was still unconvinced, Hosokawa Mochizhi couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart. Compared with the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese country was really too weak. And Han Du was an ordinary person, so that was fine, but he was still a prince-in-law. Thinking with his toes, the Ming Dynasty
The emperor would definitely favor his sister, Princess Anqing. How could he tolerate Xiaosong Lingzi, a person who had an affair with Han Du, to continue to stay in the capital?
Even when Hosokawa Mokiyuki received the imperial edict, he was not surprised at all. Instead, he felt as if his heart had fallen to the ground.
After hesitating for a moment, Hosokawa Mochizuki said, "But Master. Now that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty has issued an order, can Master still resist and disobey the order?"
Komatsu Reiko casually threw the imperial edict to Hosokawa Mochiyuki, raised her head slightly and showed her slender white neck and said, "This is the imperial edict for you, not for me."
"Master, you are now also a member of the mission." Hosokawa Mokiyuki didn't want his master to stay in the Ming Dynasty, and wanted to persuade him calmly. If the master continued to stay in the Ming Dynasty, he would definitely get entangled with Han Du.
Kawamochizhi is no longer optimistic that Han Du can help them. In this case, it is meaningless for the master to continue to stay in the Ming Dynasty.
Komatsu Lingzi didn't think so. Her resentment towards Han Du forced her not to give up so easily.
"No, you are wrong, I am not a member of the mission, I am the princess of Japan!"
"Master, what are you doing?" Hosokawa Mochiyuki was suddenly shocked. He didn't understand why the master who had been concealing his identity would say it at this time. Could it be that the master was planning to reveal his identity to the Ming Emperor?
Komatsu Reiko looked at Hosokawa Mochiyuki and nodded as expected, "I am the princess of the Japanese Kingdom. I admire the splendor of the Ming Dynasty and come to pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Can he still drive me away?"
Seeing that his master had made up his mind, Hosokawa Mochiyuki sighed helplessly and stopped trying to persuade him.
"Go and prepare my wedding ceremony."
"yes."
The official of the Ministry of Rites of Huitong Pavilion was informed that he was required to pay a visit to the Japanese mission.
If it were other officials, they would definitely ignore it. He was an official of the Ming Dynasty. How could he obey the instructions of a mission?
But the Japanese envoy was different. Seeing that the Japanese envoy had given him a great gift, he came without much thought.
As soon as he entered the door, the official saw a scene that surprised him.
I saw that the Japanese girl who originally caused a storm in the capital had now taken off her original Ming Dynasty clothes and put on a gorgeous Japanese costume.
There was music accompaniment all around, and Reiko Komatsu slowly walked to a raised chair in the middle and sat down. ??
The official of the Ministry of Rites had never seen the etiquette of the Japanese royal family, but he knew that the matter must be serious.
Chen Di hurriedly got off the sedan and walked quickly into the palace gate. He was the Minister of Rites and had the right to ask for an audience with the emperor at any time, and the guards guarding the palace gate would not stop him.
"Your Majesty, Chen Di wants to see you." Wang Yue got the news and quickly reported it to Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao straightened up from his desk posture, frowned, and asked in confusion, "What is he doing here?"
Thinking that it might be the Japanese delegation leaving, Zhu Biao said, "Forget it, let him come in."
"yes."
Chen Di walked in quickly with small steps, raised his robe and knelt down, "My lord, Chen Di, pay homage to the emperor. Long live the emperor, long live the emperor~"
"Ping Shen." Zhu Biao put down the Zhu Biao in his hand and leaned back in his chair. He suddenly felt a pain in his body and felt much more relaxed.
Without waiting for the emperor to ask, Chen Di stood up and immediately bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the Japanese princess wishes to see you."
When Zhu Biao heard this, he frowned and said in confusion, "Didn't the Japanese country just send a mission? How come there is another princess?"
"Your Majesty, the Japanese princess is the Japanese girl in the mission, her name is Xiaosong Lingzi." Chen Di said quickly.
With a bang, Zhu Biao suddenly knocked the tea cup in his hand on the imperial desk and said angrily, "What do you, the Ministry of Etiquette, do for food? A Japanese princess actually stayed under my nose. After so many days, I don't even think about it."
I know. If she doesn’t take the initiative to stand up, I will still be kept in the dark? Isn’t that right?”
"Wei Chen, plead guilty!" Chen Di shivered and knelt down straight with a bang.
The Ministry of Rites has the responsibility of receiving foreign missions, and naturally has the obligation to verify the identity of the mission. However, there has been no incident in the Huitong Pavilion for so many years, so Chen Di became careless in his comfort.
Zhu Biao vented a lot,
He quickly calmed down and asked, "Where is he?"
"Just at the Huitong Hall." Chen Di replied quickly.
"Go now and summon her to me immediately!" Zhu Biao raised his hand and pointed outside the hall and said sternly.
"Yes, I'll go right away." Chen Di quickly got up and ran out with his butt stuck out.
Xiaosong Lingzi walked into the main hall step by step under the personal leadership of Chen Di.
"The Japanese princess, Komatsu Lingzi, pays homage to His Majesty the Ming Emperor." Komatsu Lingzi behaved with perfect etiquette and bowed respectfully with both hands raised.
When Zhu Biao saw Komatsu Lingzi coming in, he immediately put on a smile.
"Ping Sheng! Since you are the princess of the Japanese kingdom, please sit down!"
Why did Zhu Biao's attitude change so much after Komatsu Reiko revealed her identity? Because if Komatsu Reiko was only a member of the mission, then no matter how high her official position in the Japanese country was, she would only be a foreign minister.
But it would be different if she showed her identity as the princess of the Japanese country. Although the Japanese country has not surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, let alone recognized the status of the Ming Dynasty. But she is the princess of a country after all, and the Ming Dynasty must give enough
It’s etiquette to give preferential treatment!
Even the Emperor and Prince of Beiyuan, even if they were once enemies of the Ming Dynasty, but now they are captured, the Ming Dynasty must grant them royal titles. Even the former enemies of the Ming Dynasty have such preferential treatment, let alone Komatsu Reiko
?
"Thank you, His Majesty the Ming Emperor." Xiaosong Lingzi lowered his head slightly, then raised his head and looked directly at Zhu Biao with a smile on his face.
Zhu Biao looked at Komatsu Lingzi's bright and charming face, but he didn't even have the slightest idea of sighing at Han Du's beauty. Because he knew that since Komatsu Lingzi revealed her identity at this time, it showed that she was not only a stunning beauty, but also a stunning beauty.
Besides being a beauty, she is also a big trouble.
After thinking for a moment, Zhu Biao could only say politely, "I am very pleased that your princess has traveled thousands of miles to come to Ming Dynasty. What do you think of Ming Dynasty?"
Komatsu Reiko bowed slightly with a calm expression, "The Ming Dynasty is rich in natural treasures, outstanding people, and far superior to the Japanese. This trip has opened Komatsu Reiko's eyes."
"Oh~ That's good." Zhu Biao said casually, thinking about how to send Xiaosong Lingzi away.
But before Zhu Biao could think about it, Komatsu Lingzi continued, "I have admired the Ming Dynasty for a long time. I wonder if I can stay in the Ming Dynasty and have a good appreciation of it?"
"Ah ~ this." Although Zhu Biao expected that Komatsu Reiko revealed his identity because he ordered the Japanese delegation to be driven back to Japan, he still did not expect Komatsu Reiko to be so direct.
