At the end of autumn, outside Sakai Port, on a merchant ship in the Seto Inland Sea, a middle-aged woman dressed as a merchant was busy writing in her cabin.
Qian Shikui of Jinyiwei Primary School would like to write the title, because the Dafa has not been carried out, the treacherous plot is blazing, the internal response is endless, and the external changes are reincarnated.
Just as Yoshihiro Shiba and Miyuki Uesugi expected, Qian Shikui was indeed an intelligence spy directly affiliated with the Kinyiwei. He was ordered by the Holy Spirit to sneak into the mission and go to the island country to find out the truth about this diplomatic negotiation.
The war on the peninsula reached a stalemate, but Shen Weijing maneuvered in both directions on the diplomatic battlefield and achieved great success.
This made Emperor Wanli have to wonder, could things that were not available on the battlefield be easily obtained outside the battlefield?
When His Majesty the Emperor has questions, it is natural for Jin Yiwei to come forward to find out the truth.
The results of the investigation also confirmed Emperor Wanli's guess that the so-called diplomatic victory was all a lie!
Hideyoshi Ichijo made seven demands.
1. Marry Emperor Ming’s son.
2. Develop prospecting and joint trade.
Third, the military attachés of the two countries pledged their eternal alliance.
Fourth, the four northern provinces were returned to the peninsula, and the four southern provinces were ceded to Ichijo Hideyoshi.
5. The peninsula sends a princess to the island country as a hostage.
6. Return the captured second prince of the peninsula and other peninsula officials.
7. The monarchs and ministers of the peninsula will never rebel against the island country.
Shen Weijing dared to accept all of this outrageous condition.
Shi Xing, Shen Weijing's benefactor after his death, even wrote to Emperor Wanli, saying that Ichijo Hideyoshi was willing to accept the canonization of the Celestial Empire.
It promised that a legion would quickly evacuate the peninsula and Tsushima after being granted the title, that it would only grant the title but not ask for tribute, and that it would not invade the peninsula after it was reconciled.
The gap between the conditions before and after is so big that it is jaw-dropping. It would not be an exaggeration to call it a lie.
After Qian Shikui found out, he waited for an opportunity to return to China, but when he was looking for a way home in Sakai Port, he made new gains.
The official trade between the Chinese Empire and the island country has been closed for many years, and the Chinese court does not know much about the internal situation of the island country. It only knows that the rise of Ichijo Hideyoshi ended the troubled times of the island country.
This is how Shi Xing wrote to Emperor Wanli to confer Ichijo Hideyoshi as the king of the island country.
But in fact, Ichijo Hideyoshi was not the leader of the island country, she was just a traitor.
The envoy of the real ruler of the island country took the initiative to find Qian Shikui, which made Qian Shikui both surprised and worried.
If what the visitor said is true, it means that the line of orthodox island kings once canonized by Emperor Yongle are still ruling this island country.
Then Emperor Wanli could ask the king of the vassal island country to send troops to attack the rebellious Ichijo Hideyoshi, and the stalemate in the war on the peninsula could be broken and the Chinese army could defeat the enemy without fighting.
And after contacting Qian Shikui, the real ruler of the island country, she is about to become rich!
But if this matter is false...then Qian Shikui will become the second Shen Weijing, bullying the emperor and ignoring superiors. At the very least, he will be a queen who wants to kill, and will drag down the whole family.
The most terrible thing is that the king's seal given by Emperor Yongle to the ruler of the island country was crushed in a thunderstorm. Without this token, Qian Shikui was very embarrassed and couldn't believe it.
Finally, Qian Shikui decided to venture deep into the island country, visited the Nara Basin, and saw with his own eyes the orthodox ruler of the island country.
Thinking of this, Qian Shikui couldn't help but pause the pen in his hand and swallowed subconsciously.
He is so beautiful.
Unexpectedly, the ruler of the island country turned out to be a man, and he was as beautiful as a flower, comparable to the beauty of Xi Shi Diao Chan.
It is said that he is already over thirty years old, but he still looks like a teenager, so young that Qian Shikui cannot believe it.
Qian Shikui looked at a small box in the corner of the cabin. It was filled with gold. After Tianchao landed, the gold would be sent to her hometown.
As the saying goes, people die for money and birds die for food.
The ruler of the island country seems to be very sincere. He just wants to regain the canonization of the Celestial Empire, become a vassal, and guard the waters outside the East China Sea for the Celestial Empire.
Qian Shikui was dazzled by beauty and wealth, and decided to take a gamble. As long as all this was true, she would gain both fame and fortune, and her future would be boundless.
After writing the memorial, Qian Shikui put down his writing brush, as if he had been relieved of a huge burden.
Now that you have made your choice, there is no need to worry or fear. It is nothing more than waiting for the result.
But at this moment, when she thought of the ruler of the island country who was as beautiful as a fairy, she was inevitably distracted.
At that time, the young king of the island country was very close to her, and he was asking for something. If she had some small unreasonable thoughts, I don't know if she would be able to get what she wanted.
Thinking about it now, she was still too timid at that time. If she could sleep with such a beautiful woman, it would be worth her death.
Qian Shikui sighed and chanted.
"Death under the peonies, being a ghost is also romantic."
Qian Shikui did not expect that it was her admiration for the island country's ruler's peerless appearance in her secret memorial that aroused Emperor Wanli's interest.
After that, Emperor Wanli sent many missions to the island country. He even paid special attention to painting portraits of the island country's rulers and sent them back to the Celestial Dynasty for His Majesty the Emperor to appreciate.
This led to the famous painting "Bishamonten's Eternal Colors" that was jointly regarded as a national treasure by the island countries of the Celestial Dynasty in later generations.
———
Qian Shikui, with her immense wealth and great expectations for a bright future, boarded the merchant ship prepared for her by Yiyin and returned to China as quickly as possible.
At the same time, Yiyin also ordered the mothers of the gods from all over the country to come together for the first time. The leaders of the gods' groups gathered in Duowen Mountain City, which attracted the attention of the martial arts all over the world.
To the outside world, Yiyin uses the matter of looking after children as a cover on the grounds of sharing a family relationship.
But internally, after formally expressing its determination to Emperor Wanli of the Celestial Dynasty through Qian Shikui, Yiyin also needed to unify its thoughts within the Kamin Group and prepare for the final battle with Ichijo Hideyoshi.
Just as Miyuki worried, the excessive consumption of the Ming army on the peninsula would make the Ming Dynasty's treasury empty and the Liaodong army weak, causing the Manchu and Mongolian forces that had been suppressed by the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years to be ready to move.
Therefore, after Ichijo Hideyoshi had become a serious threat to the Celestial Empire and Yoshinobu gained a huge bargaining chip worth the united front, the time was ripe to take action against Ichijo Hideyoshi.
But from the perspective of the Spokane Group, now is definitely not the best time to take action.
The war on the peninsula continues to consume Hideyoshi's military strength, prestige, and economy. The longer it drags on, the more beneficial it will be to the Shibagashi group.
Therefore, if Yoshigan wanted to take immediate action against Ichijo Hideyoshi, he not only had to wait for the response from Emperor Wanli, but also needed the full support of the Divine Group.
And this time the gathering of mothers of divine descendants who share a family relationship is to cover up this purpose.
It has been seventeen years since Yiyin debuted. Counting from the time he first entered the battle at the age of fifteen, he has grown from immature to mature. Looking back on the past, he is already confused.
Nowadays, Shiba's divine power has been established, and the only obstacle left to his ambition to conquer the world is Ichijo Hideyoshi.
Regardless of whether it was for the sake of the Celestial Empire or for himself, Yoshigan had no hesitation and must use all his strength to kill Ichijo Hideyoshi and unify the island country.
