The tribute from Japan has been handed over to Chu.
It seems that they drained half of the national treasury to come up with such good things.
But it was still useless. Even if they presented these tributes to Emperor Chu, they still could not see Emperor Chu.
In the ryokan, Saburo Inoue and Twenty-Four Onitsuka could not sit still.
Even if Zhongyuan was dissatisfied with them because the Japanese country did not pay tribute, so many rare treasures from the world were presented to them. After all, they were considered valuable treasures, and the emperor didn't even want to see them?
But when Saburo Inoue wanted to meet him, only a verbal instruction from the Emperor of Chu came from the Taiji Palace: Your actions are all the responsibility of the Anding County Marquis, and any wishes should be forwarded to me by the Anding County Marquis.
The meaning is very clear, a small country still wants to have a glimpse of the beauty of the sky?
wishful thinking!
I don’t want to look at you at all!
…
Emperor Chu's disgust for the Japanese country was getting deeper and deeper, especially last night, when this disgust reached its peak.
After the Chu State destroyed the grassland, the country's prestige was far-reaching. Many people from the subject countries donated princes and noble daughters to the harem, and these royal ladies were made into maids by the Emperor of Chu and were trained by specially trained personnel.
At the same time, the meaning of the harem to these people is very clear. If you stay, you can only be a palace maid. If you want to leave, leave as soon as possible. In your small country, you will still be noble ladies, but you will have to bear the travel expenses.
None of these women left, even if they were to be palace maids in Chu State, they were willing to do so.
But everyone is ambitious. Men will rely on various resources and connections to climb up, and the same goes for women.
Naturally, the best way for women in the harem to climb up the ladder is to please the emperor and make him favor them.
However, none of the concubines in the harem were favored by the Emperor of Chu. There were even a lot of concubines who had been in the harem for several years and were still in perfect condition. Naturally, these palace ladies could not take the ordinary path if they wanted to gain the favor of the Emperor of Chu.
If you can't take the ordinary route, then use some other method, such as meeting the Emperor of Chu on the road where the Emperor of Chu often visits the lucky people.
So they took out their gold and silver jewelry and bribed the aunt in charge. They had the opportunity to put on heavy makeup, pretend to meet each other, or dance. As long as they could attract His Majesty's attention, their chance would come.
Not to mention, there have been two successful ones these days. The daughter of the king of the vassal country can be sent to the suzerain country to serve the emperor. Naturally, she has a beautiful face. The Emperor of Chu has been in a good mood these days, and he is really in a good mood.
indivual.
And these two were lucky enough to succeed precisely because they wore traditional costumes of their country and danced their country's dance, allowing Emperor Chu to experience a wave of exotic customs.
What kind of women don’t exist in the emperor’s harem?
If you don't take some tricks and let the emperor experience new tricks that he has never seen before, how can he be tempted by you?
Wearing their own clothes and dancing their own dances to attract the emperor, these people saw the opportunity. They put on their own clothes and ambush in advance in the places where the Emperor of Chu often frequented. They even communicated secretly and arranged their shifts. Today, the Jurchens,
Tomorrow Goguryeo will not be the same every day, and so on.
Naturally, the Japanese country also sent several noble girls over.
Last night when Emperor Chu went to the Queen's Palace, he met a man who was wrapped in clothes that looked like sheets. He had a pale face, and when the palace lantern was shining on him, he was even more eye-catching. He was also dancing a weird dance.
It's like a dancing master.
Emperor Chu was so frightened that he almost thought the palace was haunted. In an instant, he waved his hand to summon the palace guards, and fired a row of rockets at them.
After I finished shooting, I took a closer look and realized that the girl the good guy shot to death with his rocket was actually a woman sent by the Japanese country.
Originally, when Emperor Chu saw so many things offered by the Japanese country, he already thought that he would meet them even if it was just a formality. However, after what happened last night, Emperor Chu's disgust towards the Japanese country directly increased by several levels, and
All the Japanese women in the palace were driven out of the palace.
It's not your fault that you are a cultural ground, but it's your fault that you wear it in the middle of the night and scare people, and it's the emperor who scares you...
The King Xian's opinion is that if you feel disgusted, just throw it to Xu Qing.
The Emperor of Chu didn't know why King Xian now left everything to Xu Qing. The key was that he didn't pay him any wages.
What's wrong?
As an emperor, he could hardly bear to look down upon his brother's actions.

In the post house
Onizuka Twenty-Four looked at Saburo Inoue and asked, "Your Excellency, His Majesty the Emperor refuses to receive us, what should we do?"
Saburo Inoue said, "Didn't you hear what His Majesty the Emperor said? The Marquis of Anding County will be fully responsible for our affairs. Fortunately, this envoy was wise and established a relationship with the Marquis of Anding County in advance. Otherwise, we would have to go out again this time.
Returned in vain."
Onizuka Twenty-Four gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't we just change the country's name? Our country has come to court from generation to generation, but why does His Majesty the Emperor turn a blind eye? Isn't it intentional to make fun of our country?"
Inoue Saburo shook his head and said: "How can you and I know His Majesty the Emperor's holy will?"
Although the Japanese mission was angry, there was nothing they could do.
There is no way, this place has such virtue, the spirit of Bushido, if you must be loyal to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will not make mistakes, and if you make mistakes, it can only be their fault.
The Emperor of Chu is now their king's majesty, a destiny that is beyond the reach of ordinary people like them. It must be their own problem if they don't want to see them. Even if they don't have the guts to say that it is the Emperor of Chu's problem.
Onizuka Twenty-four said: "Now that the Marquis of Anding County doesn't show up at all on weekdays, we can't even see the face of the chief official of Honglu Temple. How should we deal with ourselves?"
Yes, it was agreed that the Marquis of Anding County would be fully responsible, but what about the actual situation?
Will Anding County take care of them?
Just leave them here to dry, okay?
Inoue Saburo said: "Since the Marquis of Anding County does not see us, we will take the initiative to see him. Later, you will go to the Marquis of Anding's Mansion in person, send an invitation, and tell him that we will host a banquet for Anding at the Ramadan Building in the capital.
County Marquis."
Onizuka Twenty-four couldn't help but frowned and said: "We have come all the way and have not even had a cleansing banquet. Why do we still have to spend money to entertain the Marquis of Anding County?"
Yeah, this is like what?
You traveled thousands of miles to deliver gifts, have you finished delivering them?
Even the meals are all yours.
No, more appropriately, you have to buy vegetables and rice, cook for others at their homes, and then give them food money.
All in all, they were going to be very aggrieved on this trip.
Inoue Saburo said: "It's not easy to entertain the Marquis of Anding County. Will the Marquis of Anding County convey our country's wishes to His Majesty the Emperor? If we have entertained the Marquis of Anding County, then I can ask him to say a few good words for our country in His Majesty's ears.
"Isn't it just a matter of His Majesty the Emperor to change the name of the country?"
