"Lord Taige, Goryeo envoy Zheng Mengzhou is already waiting for your summons outside the palace..."
Ishida Mitsunari "seated" the seat next to Toyotomi Hideyoshi's left, and reminded him softly...
But Toyotomi Hideyoshi just glanced at him and laughed...
"Of course I remember this messenger, but... I... am not in a hurry to see him. Today, I will let him wait outside the palace for a day... I will send him to see me tomorrow..."
"Hai!"
As one of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's most trusted ministers, Ishida Mitsunari, almost as soon as he bowed to receive the order, he already guessed the meaning of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's actions, so without further words, he directly sent an order to summon the next Japanese daimyo.
……www.81zw.????m
At this time, Zheng Mengzhou, who was sitting in a side room, waiting to be summoned, heard the hurried footsteps of the Japanese attendants, but these footsteps always just passed by him, without any intention of stopping, and then they came.
The sound of the door, a soft whisper, and then the footsteps in the corridor changed from one person to two people walking in parallel, and finally drifted away, quietly...
Maybe...it's not my turn yet...
Wait a little longer.
Zheng Mengzhou lowered his head, picked up the tea bowl in front of him, took a sip, and then his brows twisted into twists!
"It's so bitter... Do Japanese people drink tea? Isn't this a waste of things?" Zheng Mengzhou complained in Korean while putting the tea bowl back on the table in front of him and continued to wait patiently for the attendant.
Summon.
But he is destined to be disappointed...
Beside this long and narrow corridor, there are dozens of small partitions made of wooden boards, and in each small partition, there is a daimyo or envoy who has been summoned. Zheng Mengzhou is one of these waiting to be summoned.
one of the messengers.
He is also the only one who has been waiting for a whole day but has never been summoned...
"His Royal Highness Taige has a lot of things to do today. I'm afraid I won't be able to spare time to receive the envoy. Sir the envoy... please forgive me..." the attendant said while kneeling on the ground and bowing sincerely, which also made him feel depressed.
Zheng Mengzhou was so angry that he had no way to vent his anger, so he had to stand up without saying a word and return angrily.
But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he returned to the hotel, he received a new summons order. This also made Zheng Mengzhou, who was a little resentful just now, feel a little more balanced. He simply put away his complaints and waited for tomorrow.
's summons.
As a result, the next day...
It's like being treated like a monkey
Another day of sitting around and waiting for nothing...
"What do you mean, Lord Taige!? Such contempt for the envoys of other countries, is there any courtesy, integrity, and friendship between the two countries? This is state-to-state relations! How can it be treated as child's play! This happens again and again, and again and again.
The playful messenger!!”
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty the Envoy... Your Highness Taige has a lot of things to do today, and I'm afraid I won't be able to spare time to receive the Envoy..."
He still knelt down politely and said the same words. Zheng Mengzhou, who was so angry that his face turned red. Facing the Japanese attendants who looked calm, he had no choice but to kick over the low table in front of him and walk away.
go……
And in the hotel, a new summons order was neatly placed in his room...
Zheng Mengzhou looked at this wooden token and wished he could just poke it out!
But for Wang Ling and Goryeo, he finally suppressed his anger and slept in his clothes...
The third day...
Zheng Mengzhou was already a little numb...
When he saw the attendant again, he stood up and left without saying a word before he could finish his words.
Then, the fourth time...
The fifth time...
Every summons is a day of waiting, and every time you return disappointed, you will receive a new edict.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi...this is groping for the opponent's bottom line!
But what he never expected was that Dr. Fengshan's bottom line was like a tiger's butt, impossible to touch...
When Zheng Mengzhou entered the castle for the sixth time, his back was extremely straight. That was because he had a short stick pinned under his loose robe. Naturally, this short stick was not used for knocking.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi's head has a more terrifying meaning...
He was led to the cubicle by the attendant again, and sat at the low table in the compartment again. When the door was closed by the attendant, Zheng Mengzhou quickly stood up, took off his outer robe, and took out the short stick from his waist.
, he wrapped his robe up, poured it on the prepared fire oil, took out the fire twister, blew on it, and then threw it up!
A simple torch is now formed!
As for Japanese-style castles, which are mostly made of pine wood, the biggest fear...is fire!
"Click!"
Zheng Mengzhou held the torch, opened the door of the compartment, and walked straight to the corridor. He did not know where Toyotomi Hideyoshi was, let alone how to go upstairs in this maze-like castle. He simply
As he walked, he shouted in Japanese: "Where is Mr. Taige!!! I am the Korean envoy!! I want to see Mr. Taige——!!!"
The bursts of loud shouts quickly attracted the attention of the attendants, and they all ran towards the direction of the sound, but they all froze in place...
"Hurry up and call the warriors in the palace!! Someone is going to set a fire!!"
"No! That's the envoy from Goryeo. His Highness Taige specifically told him that no matter what he does, you can't hurt him in the slightest!"
"But he is going to set a fire!! Aren't you afraid of the safety of His Highness!??"
"I...I...I'll go to His Highness Tai Ge to report this matter! You guys stop him here first!!"
An attendant shouted, then turned around and ran towards the stairs. At this time, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was sitting in the top floor hall of the castle summoning the daimyo from all over the country who had been ordered to come...
But at this time, Zheng Mengzhou was obviously crazy. Facing the attendants who were blocking his way, he communicated for a few words, but the conversation was fruitless. He simply didn't bother to say anything anymore. He directly raised the torch and pointed it at a few people.
A sharp jab frightened all the attendants, but they were unable to do anything to him. It was not until one of the attendants brought two large buckets of water that the situation was instantly reversed...
Zheng Mengzhou protected the torch, turned around and ran away, shouting as he ran: "I want to see Lord Taige!! I am an envoy!! I want to see Lord Taige!!!"
Several attendants simply carried two buckets of water and chased him in the corridor. Several others took advantage of their familiarity with the terrain to surround him. In the end, everyone finally forced Zheng Mengzhou into a corner...
"Don't come here!!! Come here again! I will really start a fire!! This paper window! This wooden beam!! It's just a lick!! You can't put it out with your little water! Stand back! Get back all of them!"
After!!!" Zheng Mengzhou threatened everyone while raising the torch in his hand and slowly approaching the paper window next to him...
But this group of attendants did not accept this trick at all. They still approached slowly holding the barrel, pretending to splash...
After all, there are several huge water tanks on each floor of the castle, which are filled with clean water specially used to extinguish fires. Even if it is ignited in a corner, as long as the fire is extinguished in time, the fire can be completely controlled!
"Don't come any closer!! Come any closer to me for being more serious!! I'm being more serious..."
"No need...Your Majesty the Envoy, His Highness Taige has agreed to summon you..."
A clear voice came from behind the attendant. Everyone heard the sound and hurriedly bowed their waists to make way for a passage. A handsome-looking young man walked over slowly, bowed slightly to Zheng Mengzhou, then turned aside and said seriously
Made a "please" gesture...
"You, who are you! Can you believe what you say!??" Zheng Mengzhou was afraid that the other party would delay the attack, so he still leaned sideways and protected the torch in the corner.
"I...Ishida Mitsunari..."
The young man was still half-hunched over, making a "please" gesture, and the expression on his face remained unchanged at all, as if it were made of clay...
On the contrary, Zheng Meng immediately smiled when he heard the name on Monday, and threw the torch into the attendant's bucket. With a crisp sound, the torch was quickly extinguished...
