Chapter One Thousand Five Hundred and Seventy-Four Twenty-one!
As soon as these words came out, Han Du was shocked.
I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such shameless people.
The Japanese country killed the Ming envoy, but Komatsu Reiko didn't hesitate at all and directly blamed the shogunate. It seemed as if the matter had nothing to do with her.
But, is this possible?
The Japanese country was not completely divided between the north and the south back then!
Han Du was made impetuous by Komatsu Reiko. He was silent for a long time before slowly speaking, "I remember, you were not so opposed to the North and the South back then, right?"
"No, the North and the South were already in tit-for-tat at that time, but outsiders didn't know it." Komatsu Reiko had already made up her mind to pour all the dirty water on the Ashikaga clan.
Ming Dynasty wants to regain its face? Yes, go find the Ashikaga clan.
The Ming Dynasty wants to avenge its envoys? You can also go to the Ashikaga clan.
Han Du glanced at Komatsu Reiko speechlessly and said suspiciously, "You don't still want Daming to help you destroy the Ashikaga clan, do you?"
When Komatsu Reiko heard this, her breathing suddenly became rapid. Unable to suppress the excitement in her heart, she quickly said, "The Ashikaga clan offended the Ming Dynasty, and they must be punished! If the Ming Dynasty needs the help of the Kameyama lineage, it is their duty to do so!"
"
Pa~pa~pa Seeing him and hearing his voice, Han Du couldn't help but applaud Xiaosong Lingzi.
This wishful thinking was really shrewd. First, he put all the blame on the Ashikaga clan. Anyway, no one from the Ashikaga clan came to the Ming Dynasty. What on earth is going on? Why don't you just let Reiko Komatsu say whatever you want?
Then she encouraged the Ming Dynasty to take revenge and complain, but instead put her Kameyama line aside. She was even willing to assist the Ming Dynasty if he attacked the Ashikaga clan.
If the Ming Dynasty really wiped out the Ashikaga clan, wouldn't it be a disguised form of helping her Kameyama lineage to unify the Japanese country? And the Ming Dynasty would also be grateful for her help in turn?
Emotional Komatsu Reiko wants to take advantage of all the benefits. Is there such a good thing in this world?
Han Du glanced at her coldly, then smiled and said, "What do you think of Daming?"
"Huh?" Komatsu Reiko was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "The Houguishan people have great respect for the Ming Dynasty."
Han Du waved his hand directly, interrupted her, and involuntarily raised his voice, humming: "The Ming Dynasty is the kingdom of heaven, not the officials of the Ministry of Justice who need to investigate the criminals. The Japanese country offended the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty only needs to remember the Japanese country.
As for whether it was the Ashikaga clan or you who did it, it is not important to Ming Dynasty and there is no difference."
Xiao Songling
Zi's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Han Du with a horrified face. After a while, he said in a solemn voice, "Can't the Ming Dynasty spare the Japanese country this time?"
"No." Han Du shook his head resolutely, and then said coldly, "The Timurid Empire was a hundred times more powerful than the Japanese. Even so, it did not dare to kill the Ming envoys. It trapped the Ming envoys for seven years. Just now
Make up for seven years of paying tribute and let the envoys return to the Ming Dynasty. Even so, the Ming Dynasty is not prepared to let go of the Timurid Empire. Who do you think the Japanese country is? You actually want to get forgiveness after killing the Ming envoys?"
Komatsu Lingzi has been focusing on winning over officials these days, and has not noticed what happened between the Ming Dynasty and the Timur Empire. But she knew that since Han Du dared to say it so blatantly, it must be true.
Otherwise, it was a lie that she came down to investigate. Wouldn't that damage Han Du's own face? "Da Ming, how can we let the Japanese go?" Xiaosong Lingzi put aside his cleverness and asked seriously.
Han Du remained silent, then took out a document from under the desk and placed it on the table.
Xiaosong Lingzi didn't believe that Han Du would be so kind and let the Japanese go so easily. He reached out and picked up the document, opened it bit by bit and read it.
"Article 1: The Japanese country will always surrender to the Ming Dynasty. The Japanese king must be canonized by the Ming Dynasty. Anyone who has not been canonized by the Ming Dynasty will be a false king and everyone will punish him."
Xiaosong Lingzi didn't see any problem with this. Although the Ming Dynasty had never canonized a Japanese king in the past, this was the prerogative of the Ming Dynasty suzerain. Except for big countries like the Timurid Empire, other small countries were subject to the Ming Dynasty.
Only the canonization will have sufficient authority.
However, Komatsu Lingzi still frowned. This alone led the Ming Dynasty to include the Japanese country into the Xiaofan country.
"The Ming Dynasty sent officials to assist the governance of the Japanese country"
"The Ming Dynasty sent Ming troops to help guard the security of Japan"
"The promotion of Japanese officials must be reported to the Ming Dynasty, and they can only be appointed after the Ming Dynasty agrees."
"The people of the Ming Dynasty can do business freely in the Japanese country, and the Japanese country must protect the interests of the people of the Ming Dynasty."
"The people of the Ming Dynasty are the first class of Japanese people, the Japanese royal family is the second class, the Japanese officials are the third class, and the ordinary Japanese people are the fourth class. The laws of the Japanese country cannot judge the people of the Ming Dynasty, and the people of the Ming Dynasty who break the law must be judged by the Ming Dynasty."
One by one, Komatsu Reiko's expression became uglier as she looked at them.
A total of twenty-one!
"Is this the Lord's condition?" Xiaosong Lingzi suppressed the anger in his heart and pointed at Han Du with the document.
Han Du smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Of course, if necessary in the future, Daming can add more."
"Are these not enough? Ming Dynasty still wants to increase the number?" Xiaosong Lingzi laughed in anger, and suddenly threw the document in front of Han Du. "If Japan really agrees to Ming's conditions, then I think we should simply change Japan to
Forget about becoming Ming Dynasty’s ‘Japanese Dusi’!”
"Your suggestion?" Han Du touched his chin, as if he was seriously considering it.
Under the expectant gaze of Xiaosong Lingzi, Han Du immediately smiled and said, "Your suggestion is very good. It seems that I should report it to the emperor."
"Ha!" Komatsu Lingzi suddenly turned pale, immediately turned around and walked a few steps outside.
He suddenly paused, then turned his head and said, "Since the Ming Dynasty looks down on the Japanese country so much and ignores the Japanese country's pleas, then it seems that I don't have to wait for anything anymore, but I want to tell you something."
"There is no need to say anything about surrender. Let's wait until the Ming army has won a complete victory. It will make sense to say it then." Han Du ignored the threat in Komatsu Reiko's words and said with a smile.
.
Xiaosong Lingzi turned around suddenly. She never thought that Han Du would ignore her so much. No, maybe Daming never looked at the Japanese country from the beginning to the end.
Komatsu Lingzi laughed angrily, "Okay, what a Ming Dynasty. But I still have to tell you, although the Japanese country is small, it does not lack the courage of jade! Although the Ming Dynasty is big, but it bullies the weak like this, I am afraid it will make other foreign countries feel chilled.
!When the time comes, Ming Dynasty will probably look at all its enemies, and they are all forced by Ming Dynasty!"
"You have the courage to break up? Why don't I believe this?" Han Du smiled and raised his eyebrows at Xiaosong Lingzi teasingly, "How about you ask those war slaves who were sold to the Ming Dynasty by you?
See if they have the courage to break for you."
"Uh" Komatsu Reiko's face instantly turned red with anger at these words, and she quickly turned around and left without looking back.
After Xiaosong Lingzi left, Han Du stopped the smile on his face and reached out to grab the twenty-one items on the table.
"Japanese country? Must die!"
Since Zhu Biao announced the establishment of a cabinet at the court meeting and appointed the ministers of various ministries as bachelors, the ministers of various ministries became active instantly and visited each other to make friends and build relationships.
Because although the bachelor's degree has been determined, the first assistant bachelor's degree has not yet been determined.
It is still up in the air. Who can stand out is still an unknown number. The Shofu University Scholar is in charge of the cabinet. Although his power may not be as powerful as that of the prime minister, his status is no worse than that of the prime minister. Which official does not want to ascend to the pinnacle of civil servants?
Even Zhang Yan, who had a close relationship with Qi Tai, had been lobbying everywhere to win over Qi Tai behind his back these days. The Ministry of Personnel has always been the head of the six departments, and he, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, naturally believed that he was the first to be the first assistant scholar.
The reason why Qi Tai did not go to Komatsu Reiko's appointment was because he was afraid of the rumors at this critical moment. Because he also wanted to sit on the throne of the Shofu University Scholar. As for the official department being the head of the six departments, in Qi Tai's opinion
It's simply nonsense. As early as the first year of Hongwu when Emperor Taizu Gao established the Six Ministries, there was no distinction between superior and inferior ones. That is to say, the six ministries were all equal, and he, the Minister of War, was also qualified to serve as the first assistant bachelor.
Great court meeting.
At this court meeting, all officials of the seventh rank and above in the capital came to Fengtian Hall. Officials above the fifth rank stood inside the Fengtian Hall, while officials below the fifth rank stood outside the hall.
As Wang Yue shouted loudly, Zhu Biao walked up to Danbi with a glowing face and sat down on the dragon chair.
Baiguanshan shouts long live the greetings.
"Everyone loves you Pingshen." Zhu Biao did not say it calmly as usual. Even he was a little emotional today.
Then he said, "Today is the announcement of the establishment of the cabinet. Wang Yue, please announce the decree."
"My servant obeys the decree." Wang Yue first bowed to Zhu Biao, then held out the imperial edict with both hands and stepped forward to unfold it.
"The emperor is destined to be transported by heaven, the edict says"
The imperial edict first explained the reasons for the establishment of a cabinet, indicating that it was completely different from Zhongshu Sheng and did not violate the will of Emperor Taizu Gao. Then it found examples from historical books to show that the establishment of a cabinet was necessary and was a good thing for the country.
Good things and big things that benefit the people
Then, the most exciting moment comes.
Wang Yue's melodious voice could not help but pause for a moment, and then he continued to preach, "Confess Qitai as a bachelor of Wuying Palace."
As Wang Yue's voice fell, Qitai couldn't help but his face changed. The Shouxu University Bachelor he had dreamed of was gone.
Zhang Yan on the side couldn't help but smile when he heard this. Qitai had no hope, so he would naturally be stable. For the sake of this Shouxu University Bachelor, he had recently won over countless people and made countless promises. He even had a relationship with him.
There was a rift between Qi and Tai, and the two of them had become quite estranged recently. Although they had not turned against each other, they seemed to be inseparable until death.
