"What are you dedicating these two giraffes to me?"

Hearing the words, the woman crawled lower and said, "I beg the governor to give us a place of refuge!"

"Refuge?"

Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Who did you offend in Japan?"

The woman said: "Don't dare to lie to the governor, the slaves did offend people in Japan, and the ones who offended were Japan's top dignitaries."

Li Yan didn't speak, he was waiting for the woman to elaborate.

The woman also understood that if she wanted to get Li Yan's protection, she had to tell Li Yan the truth.

Therefore, the woman sorted out her language and said, "I wonder if the governor can understand our Japanese upper-level power structure?"

Li Yandao: "Pick up the important ones."

The woman said: "In our Japan, the Emperor is the monarch, the supreme leader of Shintoism, and the national symbol of Japan. However, the current situation is that Japan's government affairs are all managed by the Emperor Shirakawa. The reason for this situation is that the Emperor His parents died when the emperor was very young. The emperor was brought up by his grandfather Shirakawa. A few years ago, under the auspices of Shirakawa, the emperor married Shirakawa's adopted daughter as the middle palace, and the slave family was the emperor. The female official who was personally selected by Nakamiya did not like the slave family, so she joined hands with the Onmyoji to frame the slave family as a nine-tailed fox, and said that the slave family absorbed the emperor's essence day and night, so that one day they could replace him and take over Japan. With the help of his adoptive mother, he escaped out of the capital, and later fled here."

"This is too simple, I can't understand it at all, and what's the matter with the emperor, why is there another emperor besides the emperor?" Li Yan thought.

Li Yanchong Wang Dingliu said: "Go and call Wang Zezhen."

Hearing the name "Wang Zezhen", the woman's body visibly moved, but soon returned to its previous state.

After ordering Wang Dingliu, Li Yan asked, "What's the matter with the Emperor?"

The woman explained: "After the emperor abdicated, he was called Taishang Tianhuang, referred to as Shanghuang, which is equivalent to the Taishanghuang in the Central Plains, and the emperor who became a monk in your Central Plains was called Taishang Fahuang, referred to as Fahuang. Before Baihe Fahuang, Japan was Sheguan politics, that is, the dictatorship of foreign relatives. Foreign relatives gain the greatest power in Japan by controlling the emperor. For his son, Emperor Horikawa, he himself took away the real power, lived in Shirakawa-in, relied on middle and lower-level samurai, recruited troops, established court officials, issued court announcements frequently, became the arbiter of government affairs, and finally Shirakawa-san became the supreme emperor , known as Emperor Shirakawa, has mastered the highest power in Japan."

Li Yan was still a little confused.

The woman explained to Li Yan for a while before Li Yan fully understood.

To put it simply.

The current Japanese elder brother is Emperor Shirakawa.

This is a very capable person.

When he was young, he voluntarily resigned from the throne of the emperor, and gave the throne to his eight-year-old son, Emperor Horikawa, and then quietly won the highest power in Japan.

Emperor Shirakawa first controlled his son Emperor Horikawa, and after Emperor Horikawa died, he began to control his grandson Emperor Toba.

Emperor Toba succeeded to the throne at the age of five, and now fourteen or five years have passed, that is to say, Emperor Toba has grown up and started to have his own ideas, and there are many, even wanting to regain power, Shirakawa is a little bit out of control Emperor Toba lived, so he began to think about letting Emperor Toba give up the throne to the eldest son born to Emperor Toba and the adopted daughter of Emperor Shirakawa. After all, children are easier to control than adults, and there is a voice in the Japanese imperial palace. The eldest son of Emperor Yu and the adopted daughter of the Emperor Shirakawa was actually born to the Emperor Shirakawa and the adopted daughter of the Emperor Shirakawa, which means that the grandfather put a green hat on his grandson.

And the woman is the female official of Emperor Toba. She is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is favored by Emperor Toba. He didn't want to pass his throne to his own son, not to his uncle, or to the uncle born of his grandfather and his daughter-in-law.

The adopted daughter of Emperor Shirakawa noticed this, and prescribed medicine to Emperor Toba, causing Emperor Toba to fall ill inexplicably, and the imperial physician of the imperial family could not find out the cause of the disease.

Later, the adopted daughter of Emperor Shirakawa invited the onmyoji Abe Taiqin to treat Emperor Toba.

Abe Yasukin found out that the woman was a nine-tailed fox through magic.

When the woman heard the news, she escaped from the capital and hid in the Eastern Kingdom.

After Emperor Toba woke up, he was furious and issued an order to pursue the woman to death.

The woman once heard by chance that a very powerful new force has risen on the land of Koryo, which is Li Yan's Andong Protectorate. Because Japan and Koryo are friendly countries, and the enemy of the enemy is a friend, so , the woman and their Sakabe family fled to Li Yan and the others to seek asylum.

After Li Yan sorted out all these, Wang Zezhen was also called by Wang Dingliu.

As soon as she entered, Wang Zezhen bowed and said, "Meet the governor!"

Li Yan said: "Get up, have you been to Japan recently?"

Wang Zezhen said: "Not long ago, the villain came back from Japan." - Thanks to Li Yan's blessing, Wang Zezhen got a lot of good things last time, and later he made a special trip to Japan and made a lot of money there.

Li Yan pointed to the four women and asked, "Then do you know them?"

Wang Zezhen looked at the black man and the two warriors who raised their heads one by one...

When Wang Zezhen looked at the woman, the woman who kept her head lowered suddenly said, "Wang Jun, long time no see."

Wang Zezhen was startled when she heard this voice, but quickly asked: "But Yuzao Ji?"

At this time, the woman, Tamamo Hime-kun, raised her head for the first time.

Li Yan glanced at her face, and was immediately stunned!
As gentle as jade, as beautiful as a flower, she is as beautiful as a country!

Looking at her temperament, among Li Yan's women, there is only one person who can compare with her, and that person is Li Shishi!

The difference between her and Li Shishi is that she is more charming, and the most appropriate adjective is - vixen.

Ji Jun Yuzao raised his head and said: "It is Yuzaoqian, thank you Wang Jun for telling Yuzaoqian about the governor, and giving Yuzaoqian a way out."

"Yuzaoqian?" Li Yan was shocked.

Li Yan didn't know much about Japanese history, but he knew about Tamazamo.

This is a very, very, very famous big monster in Japan.

According to legend, she is a peerless beauty transformed from a white-faced golden-haired nine-tailed fox. Because of her extensive talents and peerless beauty, she is known as the most beautiful woman in the world and the most talented woman in Japan.

There is also a legend that she is Daji. After the fall of the Shang Dynasty, she went to India and became Hua Yangtian, the concubine of the spotted-footed prince of the Mojatuo Kingdom. She then returned to China and lived an anonymous life temporarily. During the Tang Dynasty, Japan sent an envoy Jibei Zhenbei to China, and she slipped into Jibei Zhenbei's boat and went to Japan. After hundreds of years, she called herself "Tamazaoqian".
