After Zhao Shirong heard Wei Zhongxian's summons, she was stunned for a moment. She had been in Ming Dynasty for more than a year. She also believed that Zhu Houzhao should have known about her existence for a long time, but there was a tacit understanding between the two parties, pretending. Tsukuru just didn't see it.

Moreover, Zhao Shirong did not do anything against Zhu Houzhao in Ming Dynasty. At most, he only collected some information, which was within Zhu Houzhao's tolerance.

I just don’t know why Zhu Houzhao broke this tacit understanding at this time and called him over. Could it be that something big happened in the Southern Song Dynasty?
There is a possibility that Zhu Houzhao fell in love with him and wanted to attack him, but Zhao Shirong felt that Zhu Houzhao would not do this.

And if he really did this, he seemed to have no chance to refuse, and for the Southern Song Dynasty, this was also good.

This can be regarded as a marriage in disguise. It can be seen from the birth of Zhu Houzhao's Princess Changping some time ago that Zhu Houzhao still attaches great importance to children. If a prince can be born to Zhu Houzhao, it will bring more benefits.

Despite having many thoughts in his heart, Zhao Shirong followed Wei Zhongxian to Zhu Houzhao.

Looking at Zhu Houzhao, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, Zhao Shirong couldn't help but sigh in his heart. As a person who came to Ming Dynasty to investigate and collect intelligence, Zhao Shirong knew Zhu Houzhao relatively well.

Even she had to admit that many of Zhu Houzhao's reforms were of great help to the country.

But those policies could not be carried out in the Southern Song Dynasty. After all, in the Song Dynasty, the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats shared the world. If they wanted to carry out such reforms, they did not know whether the New Deal could be carried out by then. The emperor would probably die.
After all, the power in the hands of scholar-bureaucrats can indeed affect the imperial power!
It was precisely because of these policies of the Ming Dynasty that the countries that had a relatively good relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty actually had different paths.

"Princess Zhao's time during my Ming Dynasty was wonderful!" Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly to Master Zhao and said in a gentle tone.

"Thank you, His Majesty the Ming Emperor, everything is well!" Zhao Shirong said neither humble nor overbearing.

After Zhu Houzhao motioned Zhao Shirong to sit down, he slowly said to Zhao Shirong: "My Skynet got a piece of information some time ago, which should be of some importance to you in the Southern Song Dynasty!"

Zhao Shirong's eyes flickered slightly and she stared at Zhu Houzhao closely. She was curious about what information Zhu Houzhao was talking about.

After all, for Zhu Houzhao, ordinary information is not worth calling him over, right?
"Is there any action from Dayuan?" Zhao Shirong asked softly.

"This matter is indeed related to Dayuan, but Dayuan did not do it himself!
Dayuan is looking for foreign aid! "Zhu Houzhao said with meaning.

At this moment, Zhao Shirong also fell silent, and she kept thinking in her heart.

Dayuan would look for foreign aid. This was not unacceptable to Zhao Shirong. However, there seemed to be no powerful country in the Central Plains that could help Dayuan, right?
Ordinary small countries cannot participate in the wars of these countries now, and the relationship between Dayuan is not very good.

Almost no country would be willing to cooperate with Dayuan.

Soon, Zhao Shirong thought of a possibility, her face changed slightly and asked: "Is it Japan?"

"Princess Zhao is indeed talented! She even guessed this!" Zhu Houzhao glanced at Zhao Shirong with satisfaction, and continued: "The information I got here is that the Yuan Dynasty colluded with Japan to attack the Ming Dynasty, the two Song Dynasties and the Han Dynasty invading coastlines."

Zhao Shirong also fell into silence when he heard this. If it were from other countries, Zhao Shirong would definitely think it was a joke.

But these words were spoken by Zhu Houzhao, and the target was Japan, so Zhao Shirong still believed them.

After all, even Zhao Shirong knew about Japan's wolfish ambitions.

In recent years, Japanese warriors have come to several countries to carry out various challenges, and even want to stir up turmoil in several countries.

Such wolfish ambition is obvious. Moreover, in the first year of Zhengde, the Shuiyue Dazong cooperated with the Tianming Sect in an attempt to overthrow the Ming Dynasty, and then they also took the opportunity to attack Goguryeo.

As a result, such a plan was ruined by Zhu Houzhao.

But now, it seems that it is not difficult to understand that they want to invade the Ming, Song and Han Dynasties.

After all, Japan's ambitions are well known to the world.

"What does Your Majesty want us to do?" Zhao Shirong was 80% convinced at this moment, and she asked Zhu Houzhao.

Zhao Shirong did not think that the advisers around Zhu Houzhao were all fools. It was impossible for the other party to fail to see that they were now invisible rivals between the Southern Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty.

It should be impossible for the other party to tell them.

After all, if they in the Southern Song Dynasty knew about this, they would not be able to tell Zhu Houzhao and remind him.

"I just feel that the war within China can be fought to the death, but if it is those guys outside who want to use this to cause trouble, I will never allow it!" Zhu Houzhao said pointedly.

Zhao Shirong was silent when she heard this. At this time, she didn't know whether to say that Zhu Houzhao was in a good situation or that Zhu Houzhao was too naive.

However, it seems good to have such an emperor.

"Thank you Emperor Ming!" Zhao Shirong stood up and saluted Zhu Houzhao: "No matter what the Song Dynasty said, Zhao Shirong will keep this favor in mind."

As for whether Zhu Houzhao wanted to use this to delay the Southern Song Dynasty and make the Southern Song Dynasty focus on the coastal areas and slow down the offensive, Zhao Shirong did not doubt it.

Since it is an army coming from the sea, it does not require the use of the main army of the Southern Song Dynasty. It only needs to arrange some troops to defend at the coastal defense. This is still no problem, and the military strength involved is not particularly large.

For the Southern Song Dynasty, it would not affect the plan.

Zhao Shirong understood this, and so did Zhu Houzhao, so Zhao Shirong still believed Zhu Houzhao's words.

"You're welcome!" Zhu Houzhao waved his hand: "I'm just giving you a reminder. As for whether you believe it or not, it has nothing to do with me.

If you really feel sorry for yourself, just capture a few more slaves for me!
The slaves of Dayuan are good, and similarly, the slaves of Japan are actually no problem. "

"If they really come to invade our Song Dynasty, if there are slaves in this battle, our Song Dynasty is willing to give some to the Ming Dynasty." Zhao Shirong was not stingy and said directly.

Compared with being attacked by Japan, if they are prepared, Japan should not pose any threat to them.

This is Zhao Shirong's opinion. In this era, except for Zhu Houzhao, probably not many people really care about Japan.

I only know that they are ambitious and not weak in strength, but I don’t know the specifics. (End of chapter)
