Xinshun 1730

Chapter 452 Blessed

After leading someone to pull the door in, Liu Yu saw Japanese King Zhaoren for the first time.

After looking at it for a while, it was a young man who was just 20 years old.

Because it was considered a private banquet, it was only held in the room, not in the hall.

If it is in the hall, the banquet seating will be quite formal, which will inevitably involve some issues of dignity, etiquette, and dignity.

The hall is long from north to south and narrow from east to west.

For example, if it is in the hall, the position on the north side must be vacant according to the identities of Liu Yu and Zhao Baiquan.If Zhaoren held a banquet in the hall, and he faced south, the two of them could just walk away, and it would be a big trouble if they sat down.

But if the north seat is vacant, it means that Zhaoren has admitted that he is not qualified to sit in the north seat.

We haven't finished talking yet, so we decided to choose a small indoor banquet to avoid wrangling.

The room is long from east to west and narrow from north to south.

Only guests and hosts were divided, Zhaoren sat on the north side, Liu Yu sat on the west side, Lin Xinchong, Guan Baiyi and Jianxiang, the head of the university, were on the south side, and Zhao Baiquan, who came with Liu Yu, and Songping Huizhen were on the east side.

Interpreters are on the sidelines, so they are not qualified to eat and drink.

There was nothing delicious on the table, and there was no appetite when looking at it, so Zhaoren took advantage of the topic and said: "I have heard that Liu Jun's home of Zhongming Ding Shi, the wine and food are delicious. Japan is also a small country, poor and hard-pressed, and it is really mediocre. The people are poor and have a lot of money. The theory of silver is mostly rumors."

"During Kuichou's reign, it happened that Liu Jun traveled to Edo and talked about currency with the general Ji Zong. After the reform, new gold was exchanged for old gold to solve Liu Jun's so-called 'deflation'. However, the people still have no money."

"As a last resort, General Ji Zongnai issued an order to prohibit folks from using burials to bury money, and to ban folks from using silver hairpins. Sometimes people say that life is hard, but after death, even the money for straw sandals in a coffin is gone."

He did not use the Japanese era name, but the Ganzhi calendar, in order to avoid some disputes during the meeting.

Crying poorly very skillfully.

Liu Yu pretended to be stupid, as if he didn't understand that Zhaoren was deliberately avoiding the issue of the year, and said with a smile: "Ah, the year of Kuichou. According to what you said, that's 18 years of insurance."

"I have little talent and learning, but I don't know where the word "Xiangbao" comes from?"

Zhaoren's face changed slightly, and Jianxiang saw Liu Yu's question, so he had no choice but to answer, "From the "Book of Zhou". Said: You are here to enjoy your great life and protect all nations. Take what you enjoy and protect it."

Liu Yu smiled and said, "That's interesting."

After finishing speaking, he asked Zhao Baiquan again: "Brother Zhao reads more history books, have you ever heard of this?"

The two of them hadn't discussed this matter before, but Zhao Baiquan could say that he was also a person who passed the imperial examination, and Jingshi Ziji came here as soon as he opened his mouth.

After listening to Yiyi Jianxiang's source, he thought it was wrong to say Japan's era name while in North Korea.

But thinking about the source of this sentence, and then thinking about the political situation in Japan, I wondered whether Eagle Sobo was using this as an excuse?Still really don't understand? Ask again?
This is interesting to talk about.

Seeing that Liu Yu was still looking full of knowledge, he said, "This is what Tuoba Kuo, Emperor Gong of the Western Wei Dynasty, said when Zen was located in Yu Wenjue, Emperor Xiaomin of the Later Zhou Dynasty. It is to make Da Zongbo hold the book and give way."

"This sentence is the speech of the Zen position."

Deliberately emphasizing the word abdication, Liu Yu slapped his head and said: "I seem to have heard that the first year of Xiangbao is the year when Ji Zong took office as a general. Who took this title? It seems that that day The idea of ​​the person discussing the year is very interesting."

After saying those words, Zhaoren, Ichijo Kaneka, and Matsudaira Teruzhen's expressions all became extremely ugly.

At that time, the Yuan was changed from Zhengde to Xiangbao, because the Tokugawa family, the eight-year-old child of the shogun, died, and the Tokugawa family became extinct.

The family is extinct and can only be found from the Yusan family in the side branch.When the Yuan Dynasty was changed, there might actually be such a meaning of "Tuoba Kuo Zen position Yu Wenjue", but this is definitely a matter of the Tokugawa family of the shogunate, but it has nothing to do with the emperor's abdication.

This matter has no influence in Japan, but this question is asked by people from Dashun, so it inevitably has the meaning of instigating the relationship between the public and the military.

Using this as the year name, does it imply that the Tokugawa family is followed by Tuoba Kuo, and Zen is located in Yu Wenjue?
Or is it said that Emperor Nakagomon was Tuoba Kuo, and Dangzen was located in the "Duke of Zhou" Tokugawa shogunate?
Zhaoren hadn't thought about this before, now his face was ugly, the wine in his hand poured slightly, and he was very dissatisfied, wondering if Dashun wanted to instigate civil strife in Japan?

Matsudaira Teruzhen is still here, and if it gets to Tokugawa Yoshimune's ears, some doubts will inevitably arise.

Just as he was about to say something, he looked at Lin Xinchong from the south and said, "Mr. Liu is thinking too much. The year name is actually changed because of the succession of the general's family."

"There is also a precedent for this. In the past, when Liao minister Han Derang died, Liao Shengzong remembered his great achievements and changed Yuan to Yuan the next year; in Southern Liao Song, Shi Miyuan punished Han Tuozhou and changed Yuan to Jiading; Shi Miyuan died and Lizong changed Yuan to Duanping."

"This is not unprecedented."

"If you look at the history books, it is not uncommon for heroes to die and change their Yuan."

Zhaoren's heart relaxed, and he secretly thought that it was you who made use of the topic, and here you can also see the tricks, so he said: "Yes. To cherish the story, the later master Liu Chan also has the saying that "the government is governed by the Ge family, and the sacrifice is for the widows". "

"Japan has its own national conditions. The difference between public and military is not the same as that of a big country. Not to mention Japan, even North Korea. The Yangban system is not the same as the imperial examinations of a big country."

"Changing yuan to enjoy insurance has no deep meaning."

Zhaoren did not want to cause conflicts within Japan at this time, and at this time, Zhu Zixue had just taken root in Japan, and the righteousness of respecting the king and returning to power had not yet been extended.

He himself knew that he was a shrine, he had to do what he was supposed to do, and despite Dashun's instigation, he absolutely could not create internal cracks at this juncture.

The most important thing is that he has no power at all.

Without power, if you want to seize power, the end result is that you can only be a puppet.

They are all puppet, what's the difference between Da Shun Dang, the southwestern feudal clans, or the Tokugawa Clan?

In fact, Liu Yu didn't want to instigate the relationship between the shogunate and the Japanese king at all, but just wanted to disgust the other party, and by the way, change the topic of Zhaoren crying poor.

After listening to Zhaoren and Lin Xinchong's explanation, Liu Yu said with a smile: "So that's the case. I don't read much, so I can't help guessing randomly. It's just a secret about the palace, and it's just a fun to talk about."

After finishing speaking, he said solemnly: "But the issue of the year name is not a trivial matter. I heard that the Dutch were in Hirado, because they used the Western Jesus to date the year, and even closed their business offices and moved to Nagasaki."

"In the future, if Japan pays tribute to the vassal, the year name will also need to be changed."

It's just a sentence, which directly leads the topic to whether to pay tribute or not, but it only uses "if" as an assumption.

Zhaoren didn't strive for these things either, and suddenly thought of something, the way of mind can be used.

"Should all the vassals of the Celestial Dynasty change their Yuan and use the title of the Celestial Dynasty? Japan has never been a vassal, but I don't know about it."

Liu Yu glanced at Zhao Baiquan, Zhao Baiquan thought that Liu Yu was going to force Japan to negotiate terms, so he said firmly, "Of course."

Zhaoren thought that this is what you said all by yourself, so he pretended to be surprised and said: "But when I was young, I remembered that An Nanguo sent an elephant, and that elephant was named a fourth-rank doctor at that time. According to An Nanguo's credentials, , but it says the title of 'Yongqing', not Taixing. Could it be that Annan was a vassal of the Celestial Dynasty?"

He deliberately didn't open which pot to mention which pot, but avoided directly talking about whether Japan paid tribute, but took advantage of Zhao Baiquan's too full of words, and led the question to Annan.

It means that if Vietnam uses its own year name, is it counted as a vassal or not?
If Vietnam can use its own era name, why can't Japan use its own era name in the future?

If Japan uses the reign name of Dashun, will Dashun also go to conquer Vietnam?Talking so full, when the time comes to bite Vietnam, I really want to pay tribute, go to sue, anyway, I am not afraid of Vietnam attacking Japan.

At that time, misfortune will be diverted to the south, and since the Celestial Dynasty will come to fight Japan because of the Ryukyu shit, why will it favor one another and not go to Vietnam?
However, Vietnam is full of miasma, and the former Ming finally retreated in Vietnam. If they also go to war, it will definitely be able to contain Dashun's national power.

Confining Dashun's national strength, military power, and energy, Japan can quietly develop.

Zhao Baiquan was at a loss for words for a moment, knowing that he had made a slip of the tongue, but he heard Liu Yu say: "If there is such a thing, I will ask about it. But there may be something hidden."

"For example, if you pay tribute to Ryukyu every year, for more than a hundred years, you don't know that the Satsuma clan controls its state affairs. Vietnam is far away in the south of the sky, and there may be some unspeakable secrets, and I don't know."

"If it weren't for the emperor's intelligence, how would he know about the Ryukyu matter? The holy emperor is aware of the details, and although he will not indulge in arrogance, he will not wrong the vassal."

Bringing the topic back to the Ryukyu Kingdom, the atmosphere in the banquet suddenly became extremely strange.

It wasn't a tense confrontation, nor was it a smile to let go, but the topic was dead at once, and no one could continue the conversation.

Zhao Baiquan couldn't pick it up, he was still thinking about how to do it, how did Dashun not even have a serious vassal now?

North Korea recognizes the maharaja, Ryukyu deceives fools, Vietnam has reign titles, and the Western Regions are downgraded to internal vassals instead of external vassals. Now it really has become a celestial dynasty without real vassals.

Zhao Ren and others were thinking about how to drive Liu Yu's rhythm.

Originally thinking that the rhythm of today's banquet was a deliberate show of weakness, he begged Liu Yu to ask for less money, and only begged Dashun to feel that Japan has completely lost his temper, and not to keep an eye on it too closely in the future.

I never thought that from the very beginning, those who were poor and short of money in Japan were ordered not to put money for the soles of their shoes in the coffin.However, Liu Yu directly changed the subject, focusing on the conflict between the public and military, and whether the title of the year is a metaphor for the Zen position.

After finally grasping the flaw of Vietnam's reign title, Liu Yu mentioned Ryukyu.

Zhaoren knew in his heart that if there was an argument today, Liu Yu might be offended.After a moment of silence, he had no choice but to say: "The profit makes the mind faint, and the profit makes the mind faint. These four words are most suitable for the affairs of the Satsuma domain."

"Japan is a small country, but the country is poor and the people are poor. In Kagoshima, there are volcanoes and tsunamis from time to time, and the people are struggling to find food. They have no food and clothing, so they have to live on the sea."

"Your country is also a big country, with a vast land and abundant resources. At that time, Toyotomi Hideyoshi fought against Ming Dynasty, and the trade was cut off. Japan envied your country's products and had nowhere to get them. They had to borrow the way of Ryukyu to get your silk. .”

Liu Yu laughed loudly and said, "That's a good point! No, I have also considered it, thinking that the Heavenly Empire has a vast land and rich resources, and everything is available. Japan is poor, so I decided to let Japan open trade."

"Exchanging what is needed is also for the sake of the Japanese people. If the Japanese people want to wear silk cloth, there is nowhere to produce it. After the switch, the heavens will provide it; if the Japanese people want to eat sugar, there is no place to grow sugarcane in Japan. Just switch, buy and sell sucrose..."

"The businessmen of Dashun have come, and the Japanese people will be blessed! Isn't it the people's well-being that they are looking for when they live alone overseas? Come, let's raise our glasses to celebrate together, and make a toast to the blessings of the Japanese people."
