Chapter One Thousand Five Hundred and Seventy-Two: Public Opinion Wins Gold
"Shameless, just like one." Someone was so angry that he slammed the table.
Some people looked at the man with suspicion, "You guys are not making this up, are you?"
"Believe it or not." The man had already said it freely, and he didn't care whether others believed it or not. In fact, he heard it from other people's mouths, and some of it was made up by his own imagination. But he didn't care, no one could point it out anyway.
What's wrong with him? As long as he insists that's the case, who can do anything to him?
"That's right, it sounds too fake. One woman can handle a dozen people? This is simply impossible."
"That's not necessarily true. Maybe it's impossible for people from the Ming Dynasty, but I'm not from the Ming Dynasty."
The things between men and women are always the most exciting. Some people rationally think that men are talking nonsense, but there are also people who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic and pursue them.
Anyway, in the end, isn’t it all just fun? Who can take it seriously?
"But I have also heard that the Japanese princess often holds poetry gatherings or invites people to have banquets. If there is no such thing, what do you think she is in such a hurry for? Right? Hahaha" ??
As soon as these words came out, they were immediately recognized by many people. Anyway, it is not illegal to echo, but this sentence greatly meets their expectations, "Extremely, extremely yes."
"I heard that Mr. Chen Shuchen is also invited?"
"Bah! I didn't expect to look sanctimonious, but secretly become a Japanese girl's guest. It's so shameless!"
"Yes, shameless, simply shameless!"
No one knows whether he is shameless or not. What everyone is probably thinking more about is, "Why isn't this person me?"
When they thought of the stunning beauty of the Japanese princess, everyone showed greedy expressions.
As the saying goes, since you can't get it, then destroy her.
However, within a few days, the rosy news about the Japanese princess became more and more outrageous. Later, it was no longer a matter of the Japanese princess holding poetry gatherings and banquets, but a matter of the Japanese princess serving people and wooing courtiers with evil intentions.
In Yuci's house, Komatsu Lingzi was dressed in a plain white Ming Dynasty lady's dress. Standing in front of the table, she had a graceful figure. A ray of sunlight shone through the window on the side of her face, and the fine down on her face seemed to be covering her face.
A layer of hazy brilliance appeared, making her even more otherworldly.
"Are you ready for tomorrow's banquet?" Komatsu Reiko asked with a smile while flipping through the messages she had received from relevant sources these days.
These days, she can be said to be extremely prosperous. She spent a lot of money on her and immediately attracted a lot of people.
Through conversations with taxi scholars and officials, Komatsu Lingzi felt that even without relying on Han Du, she could easily get Ming to mediate.
Hosokawa Noriyuki has also been very happy during this time. He nodded with a smile and said, "Don't worry, Master. My subordinates went to tell you in person. They also met with all the adults. They personally promised to come to the banquet. At the same time, they were recommended by Mr. Chen."
, my subordinates also met Mr. Qi, the Minister of War, and Mr. Qi also promised to come back for the banquet."
"That's good." Komatsu Reiko felt relieved, "This is the most critical time for us to come to the Ming Dynasty. As long as Qi Tai, Minister of the Ministry of War, can persuade the Ming Emperor to go out and mediate, then the matter will be settled."
"That's right." Hosokawa Mochizuki sighed happily. "Although Han Du is in a high and powerful position, he can't cover the sky with one hand. Qitai is his opponent. Even if Han Du is disgusted, he will not do anything.
Help us if you are hesitant. He is the Minister of War. Even if he cannot persuade the Ming Emperor to mediate, as long as the Ming Navy can be withdrawn, the Japanese country can take a breather and recover."
Komatsu Reiko also had the same idea, so she paid special attention to Qi Tai. Then she reminded him, "Go and carefully check the dishes you need for tomorrow's banquet. Make sure everything is perfect and leave a good impression on Qi Tai!"
"Yes, I will go right away." Hosokawa Noriyuki immediately nodded and bowed.
After Hosokawa Noriyuki went out, Komatsu Reiko raised her head and looked towards
He glanced in the direction of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion and said coldly, "Handu, if you want to trap Japan to death, how can you help me? I was really stupid back then, and I even thought of asking you for help. Just wait.
Without your help, I can break the siege of Japan. Haha, who gives you so many enemies and still holds a high position? Ha ha ha."
A horrifying laughter came from the house, causing the maids guarding around the house to suddenly feel a chill all over their bodies.
The next day, Komatsu Lingzi changed into a lady's dress early in the mansion and sat quietly in the lobby waiting. She found that compared to the most beautiful uniforms in her eyes, the ones that were most attractive to the Ming Dynasty officials were the Ming Dynasty's clothes.
Ladies' clothes.
But seeing that the time was approaching, no one came yet.
Komatsu Reiko couldn't help but feel tense, and then relaxed again, comforting herself and saying, "It doesn't matter, maybe it's just a little delayed, just wait a little longer."
As time passed by, Komatsu Reiko became more and more anxious.
When the appointed time arrives,
There was no sign of anyone. Komatsu Reiko couldn't sit still anymore and shouted sharply, "Hosokawa Mochiyuki!"
"My subordinate is here." Hosokawa Noriyuki was no longer as happy as he was yesterday. He was curled up in fear. He didn't know what was going on.
Just now, Noriyuki Hosokawa noticed something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out. In order to make sure nothing went wrong, he personally met each one and personally promised that he would definitely come. Why didn't anyone come now?
"What on earth is going on?" Komatsu Reiko suddenly waved her hand angrily, knocking over the dishes in front of her and breaking them on the floor.
Hosokawa Mokiyuki immediately raised his head, and in just a few breaths, a large amount of cold sweat broke out on his clean forehead. "Master, there must have been something unexpected. Please give me some time and let me go."
Check it out."
"Go quickly!" Komatsu Reiko stared.
"Yes." Hosokawa Mochizuki hurriedly bowed his back and left the lobby as if he had been granted amnesty.
After Hosokawa Mokiyuki left, Komatsu Reiko grabbed another bowl and threw it to the ground, venting the anger in her heart.
Hosokawa Noriyuki directly went to Qitai's house, but yesterday when he didn't know him, the housekeeper was still willing to inform him. When he saw him today, he didn't even give him a chance to speak, and he hurriedly avoided it. Even
He forced himself forward to ask, but the guards stopped him and refused to give him any chance.
After being frustrated at the gate of Qitai Mansion, Hosokawa Mochiyuki left unwillingly and went to find other officials. Contrary to the welcome he received yesterday, most officials were unwilling to see him today. He didn't know why he just
After one night, there were such huge changes.
I was walking down the road dejectedly, and when I passed by a wine shop, I overheard something.
"Have you heard that the Japanese princess is very hungry?"
After only listening to half of the sentence, a look of anger suddenly appeared in Hosokawa Mochizuki's eyes. If it weren't for Zai Daming here, he would have rushed in without hesitation and would never have left those people in the wine shop alive.
If you dare to slander a noble lady like your master, even those who hear it will die!
However, in order to find out what was going on, Hosokawa walked into the wine shop without saying a word and pointed twice casually.
The waiter saw the guest and was about to ask him what he wanted to eat when he saw the other person pointing at the wine and the signboard.
The waiter immediately understood and said with a smile, "My lord, please take a seat first. The food and drinks will be here soon."
After saying that, he enthusiastically led Hosokawa Noriyuki to an empty table and sat down.
After listening for a while, Hosokawa Noriyuki understood why none of the officials who promised him to come to the banquet yesterday came today.
After finding out the reason, Hosokawa Mokiyuki could no longer sit still. After throwing down a piece of banknote, he stood up and left.
The waiter came out with a tray. There was a bottle of wine and two dishes on the tray.
"Sir, the food and drinks are here."
When the waiter raised his head, he realized that there was no one around the table. "Huh? This guest officer
Woolen cloth?"
The people next to me looked at each other. Everyone was eating just now and didn't pay much attention to the people next to them.
The waiter's expression changed. If this man really left, who would he sell his food and wine to? If he couldn't find anyone, he might have to bite the bullet and buy the food and wine in the end.
After walking a few steps quickly to the table, the waiter breathed a sigh of relief when he saw an eye-catching treasure note quietly placed on it.
Picking up the treasure note, the waiter muttered, "I asked for food and drinks and then left without eating. What a weirdo. Also, I left without even asking for change."
"Master!" Hosokawa Mochichi ran all the way to the house and went straight to Komatsu Reiko.
Komatsu Reiko's expression was cold, as if her expression had never changed since Hosokawa Noriyuki left just now.
Hearing this, Reiko Komatsu slowly turned his head to look at Hosokawa Mochiyuki, and asked in a cold voice, "Have you investigated clearly now?"
How long had Hosokawa Mochiyuki been away? If it could be found out so easily, it wouldn't have made her feel miserable for so long.
Komatsu Reiko thought that Hosokawa Mochiyuki did not investigate carefully, so she was rude to him. Although Hosokawa Mochiyuki had been with her for many years, if he dared to deceive her, she would not hesitate to execute him.
Noriyuki Hosokawa nodded solemnly, and then told the story one by one about the encounters he received at various officials' houses, as well as the news he heard slandering her in the wine shop.
Finally, Noriyuki Hosokawa reminded, "Master, someone is deliberately slandering us. I'm afraid those officials also chose to avoid it after hearing the news."
A hint of resentment flashed in Komatsu Reiko's eyes, and she suddenly looked at Hosokawa Mokiyuki and asked, "Do you know who is spreading rumors?"
"My subordinates rushed back to report to the master before they had time to investigate."
"Then go look for him and dig three feet into the ground to find this person!" Komatsu Reiko said angrily with veins popping up on her forehead.
