King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 163 You don't want the Okamoto family to be destroyed either!

In today's Eastern world, no matter what the upper echelons of various countries and alliances think, most of the people below respect the emperor.

After decades of publicity and absolute military suppression, in the hearts of the people of all countries, the emperor of Ming Dynasty is close to a god.

God is morally perfect, and if God has a problem with that, it must be a problem with the discoverer.

In this incident, Okamoto Hideto or the Japanese may become the "person who discovered the problem."

This also means that no matter how things go, the Okamoto family will receive a certain degree of hatred in other countries and even in their own country.

So this question, we must be careful!

"Also ask the father-in-law to give pointers!"

Hideto Okamoto's expression was serious, and he thought of a lot for a while.

Wang Qing put down his teacup, crossed his legs and said with a smile: "I heard...some of your vassals in Japan refuse to accept your general's rule, and some even use the banner of "respecting the king and begging for rape"!"

Although the Okamoto family is the master in Japan today, the feudal lords from all over the country also have great independence. Some of them are indeed very ambitious and dream of replacing the Okamoto family.

But even if this is the truth, Okamoto Hideto will not admit it. This is an act of self-exposing his shortcomings, and speaking out will weaken his momentum.

"This matter... I have never heard of it!"

Hearing the translator's report, Wang Qing's smile became brighter: "It doesn't matter if you've heard it, or you don't know it... It's always troublesome for them to make trouble!"

"However, if you and others are ignorant of the general situation and arouse the suspicion of the master, those people will be able to win the Holy Household...it will not be a good thing for your Okamoto family!"

Fiddled with the lid of the teacup, Wang Qing said slowly: "Speaking of...because your Okamoto family has something to do with Japanese pirates, the court is still discussing whether to send troops to punish them!"

"Tell me... all these things are piled up together, what is the current situation of your Okamoto family?"

If the emperor accuses the Okamoto family of being traitors and then dispatches troops to fight against them, Japan will definitely be moved.

Not to mention the outcome of the battle, at least it will shake the foundation of the Okamoto family's rule. If the local powerful vassal revolts again at this time, the Okamoto family may be destroyed in an instant.

Of course, if he really wanted to do this, Da Ming would have to pay a price, and it would be a heavy price.

At this time, I have to mention that Zhu Xianming's previous "military and military" experience gave him a great ability to deter foreign countries.

At least Hideto Okamoto believes that if the emperor is really angry, the other party is very likely to attack Japan.

Even if it is only [-]% of the hands-on, the Okamoto family dare not bet, and at least they have to wait until the domestic integration is completed and the Okamoto family dominates.

Looking at Hideto Okamoto who was thinking, Wang Qing said word by word: "Master Okamoto...you don't want the Okamoto family to be destroyed either!"

Hideto Okamoto was stunned for a moment, after Wang Qing's set of combined punches, he was completely stunned at the moment.

He is not the head of the family, and he does not have the right to gamble, which means that he must act conservatively.

The most important thing is that this time he came here at the order of the Patriarch, originally to explain the matter of Okamoto Masahide, hoping to obtain Daming's forgiveness.

As Wang Qing said, after the Ming sent envoys to warn, the local powerful vassals did change, and even the emperor expressed dissatisfaction with the Okamoto family.

So for Hideto Okamoto, he came here to seek peace, to show to the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty that the shogunate is absolutely loyal to His Majesty the Emperor.

It's just that the backlog of anger and humiliation in the past few days made them be lured by the Zasaks, and they almost did something unwise.

Suddenly awakened at this moment, Hideto Okamoto felt a chill running down his back, and secretly sighed that he was too impulsive, and almost failed his brother's trust.

"Thank you, father-in-law, for your guidance...I am very grateful!" Okamoto Hideto stood up and bowed solemnly to Wang Qing.

Wang Qing smiled all over his face and said, "It's a good thing if you can figure it out!"

Okamoto Hidetoshi will also be here, and he immediately ordered the left and right: "Bring some of our specialties and give them to the father-in-law as a thank you gift!"

Wang Qing waved his hand: "Don't think about it, I'm not here to receive gifts!"

"Eunuch's kindness, how can we not thank you? It's just a small gift, if Eunuch doesn't accept it, how can we feel at ease!"

"Then...how embarrassing!"

At this time, the interpreter replied directly: "The father-in-law does not accept, we are embarrassed!"

Sighing, Wang Qing reluctantly said: "Forget it, I'll accept the things, lest you worry too much!"

The little eunuch followed others to get things, while Wang Qing stayed in the living room, discussing tomorrow's affairs with Okamoto Hideto.

Of course, Okamoto Hideto took the opportunity to inquire about the emperor's views on Japan. Of course Wang Qing was vague about this, because he didn't know what the emperor was thinking.

The two talked for a while, and Wang Qing left after achieving his goal.

After getting into the carriage, he couldn't help asking the little eunuch what special products the Japanese gave.

"Reporting to Eunuch, it's a box of gold... It's hundreds of taels to say the least!"

Hundreds of taels of gold are worth at least 1000 taels of silver, so the Japanese can be considered generous if they tip them out easily.

…………

"Brother Six, why are you here!"

On the school field outside the Longwu Hall, Zhu Jinghong held a strong bow and looked at Zhu Jingyuan behind him full of doubts.

Zhu Jingyuan froze for a moment, and then said: "Thirteenth brother, what do you mean... so I can't come here?"

Zhu Jinghong said with a smile: "This place is no different from Jixian Pavilion. They are all rough people with guns and sticks. You will be upset after seeing it!"

At the moment, there are more than 20 people practicing with Zhu Jinghong on the school field, so his words are suspected of "provoking".

Of course, Zhu Jingyuan didn't think too much about it, because he didn't like warriors instinctively, so he naturally didn't think of a few words of excuse at this moment.

"Thirteenth brother, the Ministry of Criminal Justice will hold an interrogation tomorrow, are you ready?"

"Why... the Ministry of Criminal Justice still ask me for a confession?"

Hearing the discussion of the case, the accompanying guards also stopped, and some of them had fought that day, and they also wanted to know the final result.

"It might be... After all, this matter is of great importance. The envoys of various countries are filled with righteous indignation, and the imperial court must be cautious!"

Zhu Jingyuan spoke clearly and clearly, but it was a pity that Zhu Jinghong couldn't be frightened. After the face-to-face, he actually didn't panic.

Of course, now that Zhu Jingyuan is making alarmist remarks, Zhu Jinghong is also willing to act with him.

So with a look of embarrassment on his face, he asked, "Then what should I do?"

"I am also worried about this matter. I have ordered someone to say hello to the Ministry of Punishment. I think it should be of some use. There will be no questioning of you!"

In fact, Zhu Jingyuan also knew from the beginning that this matter was nothing at all.

Today he just happened to think of it, so he stopped by to "threat" and sell Zhu Jinghong as a favor.

"Really?"

Seeing Zhu Jinghong took the bait, Zhu Jingyuan was very happy, as if he picked up money on the road.

"It's natural, you're in trouble...how can you sit idly by and ignore it as a brother!"

"Yesterday, I begged my father for you, and I was almost scolded by his old man!"

If Zhu Jinghong hadn't been a time traveler, he might really be grateful to Zhu Jingyuan just by relying on the one-sided head of his predecessor.

This guy really knows how to act, and he has a way of winning people's hearts. It's no wonder that there are many fans in the court.

What surprised Zhu Jinghong was that the prince hadn't moved in the past few days, so he really didn't care about his younger brother?
"Then thank you four...six brothers!"

Damn, he almost got it wrong...Zhu Jinghong couldn't help complaining to himself.

He blurted out that he wanted to call the fourth brother. It can be seen that the trip to Jinling made the two of them have a deep bond, and it is a long way to go to win the old thirteen... Zhu Jingyuan secretly sighed.
