Chapter One Thousand Five Hundred and Eighty Six: A Well-deserved Death
Komatsu Reiko felt a sharp pain in her heart and closed her eyes in pain. After a while, she slowly opened them.
Just in the blink of an eye, Komatsu Reiko's expression changed drastically. If she was just a little girl who dressed herself up carefully to go to an appointment, now she has become a person who holds power and can speak with a single word.
The king who determines countless lives and deaths, a queen!
"You go and prepare for returning to China first."
If the mission wants to return to the country, they must first apply to the Ming Dynasty. After the Ming Dynasty agrees, they will send troops to escort the mission away. Of course, this application is just a process. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the mission has not been blocked
There is a precedent of not being allowed to leave. Even when the Ming Dynasty and Bei Yuan were at odds with each other, the Ming Dynasty never restricted the movement of Bei Yuan's envoys.
After Komatsu Reiko finished her instructions, she took a deep breath and seemed to have made up her mind, "I'm going to meet Han Du, and I want him to tell me in person!"
"I obey," Hosokawa Noriyuki replied respectfully.
When he saw that his master had returned to his former calmness and wisdom and was no longer confused by Han Du, he felt relieved. As long as his master regained consciousness, nothing could trouble them.
Tianjie Temple.
Han Du came to the mountain gate early today, waiting for the arrival of Xiaosong Lingzi.
But by the third day of the morning, there was no sign of Komatsu Lingzi, which made Han Du slightly surprised. In the past, Komatsu Lingzi was very punctual. What happened today?
Just when Han Du was confused, he saw a special carriage climbing up the slope and walking slowly towards this side.
A smile appeared on Han Du's face. This was Xiaosong Lingzi's carriage.
Yao Yue on the side saw this and couldn't help but look at Han Du's face a few more times, and said teasingly, "It seems that the father-in-law is really interested in that Japanese girl. He hasn't even gotten off the carriage yet, father-in-law."
Is your heart filled with joy?"
Han Du looked back at Yao Yue and said with a smile, "What's wrong? Are you jealous?"
Yao Yue crossed her arms in front of her chest, squeezing the original peak to be even more majestic. She deliberately glanced aside, "Who am I? How can I be qualified to be jealous of the Duke of Zhen? Who does the Duke of Zhen have in his heart?
, that is your own business. But I still want to remind you, don’t forget that Princess Anqing is still waiting for you in the mansion."
You're already like this and you're not jealous yet?
Han Du shook his head slightly and wanted to explain, but saw that Xiaosong Lingzi's carriage had already arrived in front of him, so he had to give up.
Seeing the carriage stop, Han Du quickly stepped forward with a smile on his face, reaching out to hold Xiaosong Lingzi's hand as he walked out. Han Du had done this action several times.
times, now I can do it naturally without any hindrance.
But this time, Komatsu Lingzi did not let Han Du hold hands. Instead, she jumped out of the carriage with her horse-faced skirt in hand.
Han Du retracted his hand in embarrassment, wondering what happened to Xiaosong Lingzi today.
Xiaosong Lingzi didn't care so much, and even ignored Han Du and Yao Yue. He went straight to the mountain gate of Tianjie Temple and looked up at the mountain gate and the endless stone steps behind the mountain gate.
Yao Yue and Han Du looked at each other, neither understanding what happened to Xiao Song Lingzi.
Komatsu Lingzi looked at it in a daze and said to himself, "There are many Buddhist temples in the Japanese country. My father took me there many times when I was a child. But those Buddhist temples are far inferior to this Tianjie Temple."
Han Du stepped forward with a smile and explained, "Tianjie Temple was originally the dormitory of Emperor Wenzong of the former Yuan Dynasty when Timur lived in seclusion in Jinling. It is majestic and majestic. There are King Kong Hall, Heavenly King Hall, Zhengfo Hall, and Zuo Guanyin Hall in the temple.
Seoklunzang Hall, Sansheng Hall, Zuojialan Hall, Right Patriarch Hall, cloister, bell tower, Pilu Pavilion, Banfeng Pavilion, Huayan Tower, abbot, monk's dormitory, Zhaitang, warehouse and other buildings, the temple property field one
More than 13,000 acres are spread all over Gaochun and Lishui, with monks gathering and incense curling up. In the first year of Shunzhi, Emperor Wenzong of the Yuan Dynasty rebuilt the Jinling residence into Dalongxiang Jiqing Zen Temple. The original site was on the east side of Chaotian Palace, which was built by imperial decree.
The temple was crowned above the Five Mountains, but the power of the Five Mountains was gradually declining. In the early years of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor changed the name of Dalongxiang Jiqing Temple to Tianjie Temple, ranking it above the Five Mountains, and established the Senglu Division here to take charge of the monks and nuns all over the world."
"Regardless of the size of the temple, the number of monks, or the recognition of the imperial court, Tianjie Temple is the well-deserved number one temple in the Ming Dynasty."
After hearing this, Komatsu Reiko felt as calm as a dry well, without the slightest disturbance. She just nodded lightly, "It is indeed famous and prosperous."
When Han Du heard that Xiaosong Lingzi was so plain, he suddenly felt that what he just said was in vain.
Xiaosong Lingzi didn't care so much, glanced at Han Du, and said unfamiliarly, "The official position of the Zhenguo is high and powerful, and he is the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty. He has everything to do. I'm afraid that he would take time out to accompany me, the princess of a small Japanese country.
Is all your efforts in vain? Tell me, what kind of price does the Japanese country have to pay to make it worth having Duke Zhen Guo condescend to you like this?"
After saying that, Xiaosong Lingzi stared directly into Han Du's eyes, not missing the slightest change.
Yao Yue was shocked when she heard this, but then her expression returned to normal and she stood calmly.
Waiting to see how Han Du copes.
Han Du was stared at by Komatsu Reiko, and the smile on his face gradually faded, and he slowly regained his composure.
Seeing Han Du's expression change like this, Xiaosong Lingzi's heart couldn't help but sink straight down into the bottomless abyss!
His heart was miserable, but a smile appeared on his face, and he asked softly, "What? Duke Zhen Guo has spread his arms, aren't you going to keep pretending?"
Han Du put his hands behind his back and stood upright. The image of him humiliating himself in front of Komatsu Lingzi in the past instantly disappeared. A long-standing aura of superiority was exuded, causing the people around him to subconsciously avoid this place.
When Yao Yue saw such a change in Han Du, she immediately restrained her caution when she dared to joke with Han Du just now. She lowered her head and did not dare to be as casual as before.
Seeing the huge gap between Han Du and Han Du, Komatsu Reiko felt more confident.
Han Du smiled and said, "We are all smart people. Even if I continue to act, I can't hide it from your eyes. So is there any need to continue?"
"It turns out that you have been lying to me these days." Komatsu Reiko said calmly, as if the matter had nothing to do with her. For people like her, if they lose, they lose, and they are willing to accept defeat.
As for the pain and annoyance in the heart, showing it will only add to the laughing stock and will not do any good.
"It's not a lie, I just want you to stay in the Ming Dynasty." Han Du said seriously.
If Komatsu Lingzi had heard what Han Du said before, she would have jumped for joy. But now that she heard it, it gave her a bone-chilling chill in her heart.
"I can't figure out what you mean by leaving me in the Ming Dynasty." This is what Xiaosong Lingzi was very puzzled about. Han Du smiled and guessed that the overall situation of the Japanese country was probably decided now, so he didn't hide it from her.
, said directly, "Two months ago, the Ming Dynasty had already sent troops to the Japanese country."
Xi Xiaosong Lingzi felt as if she was suddenly enveloped in boundless fear, causing her whole body to tremble uncontrollably.
The Ming Dynasty actually used troops against Japan!
Although Komatsu Reiko was fighting endlessly between the north and the south, she also thought about whether the Ming Dynasty would send troops to the Japanese country when both sides were exhausted. However, since the Ming Dynasty had been silent, she slowly ignored this point. Now she suddenly left Han Du
Confirmed with his mouth, the fear in his heart became unbearable.
Both the north and the south of the Japanese Kingdom had already shed their last drop of blood and exhausted their last strength in the fighting over the past few years. It was precisely because they knew that the melee could not continue that Komatsu Reiko came to the Ming Dynasty, hoping to ask the Ming Dynasty to mediate.
.
Unexpectedly, Ming Dynasty not only failed to mediate, but also sent troops.
At this time, the Japanese state was at its weakest. Facing the Ming army with strong soldiers and horses, what could the Japanese state do to resist it?
"No, that's not right!" Komatsu Lingzi suddenly screamed, as if this could strengthen her inner belief, "In the past few months, the Ming Dynasty has shown no sign of mobilizing its army. How could you send troops? The army has mobilized huge numbers of people. You
It’s impossible to do it quietly!”
Facing Komatsu Lingzi's questioning, Han Du did not answer, but just smiled faintly.
Komatsu Lingzi's heart suddenly tightened, and he said as if he suddenly realized, "It's the navy, it's the navy that was dispatched by the Ming Dynasty!"
Han Du smiled slightly, nodded and confirmed her guess, and said with appreciation, "You are really smart. I just mentioned it, but you even guessed that the navy dispatched by the Ming Dynasty was the navy."
"Is this why you approached me on purpose? So, your attitude towards me these days is all fake? Why do you treat me like this?" Komatsu Reiko asked very uncomfortably.
Han Du was silent for a moment, and then said, "You are extremely smart and have an overall view. When everyone else in the Japanese country was still jealous, you were able to calmly find out the key to the problem. Fortunately, you came to Ming Dynasty without hesitation.
I want to end the melee. You are a person who can influence the situation in Japan. If you are allowed to return to Japan, I am afraid something will happen."
"Is this the reason why you lied to me?" Xiaosong Lingzi looked at Han Du with eyes full of hatred.
Han Du subconsciously avoided Komatsu Reiko's gaze, took a deep breath, and murmured to himself, "Everyone is his own master."
"Okay, each one is his own master!"
The calmness on Xiaosong Lingzi's face was gone, showing a look of pain and remorse. He reached out and took out a piece of jade. A teardrop fell on the jade. He held back his grief and forcibly cheered up and looked at Han Du. "This is my father."
The emperor gave it to me when I was a child, and I originally planned to give it to you, but now I have no need for it."
After saying that, Xiaosong Lingzi waved his hand suddenly in front of Han Du, and the jade jewel worth ten thousand gold was broken into several pieces on the stone slab.
Komatsu Lingzi stepped directly past Han Du and walked towards the carriage.
Han Du felt very heavy. He turned his back to Xiaosong Lingzi and closed his eyes. He suddenly said loudly, "It's too late. Even if you return to Japan now, it will only be of no help!"
Komatsu Reiko paused and replied in a daze, "Didn't you say that? Everyone is their own master! If it doesn't help, then let me die in Huaju Imperial Palace. I was born in Huaju Imperial Palace, and now I die in
