Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 510

Tokugawa Jiaqi finally realized the subtlety of the two idioms "retreating from a dilemma" and "riding a tiger".

Those envoys of the Protestant faction supported Tokugawa Iezari's usurpation of the throne and self-reliance, and those wives, concubines, and children of Tokugawa Iezari also supported him in usurping the throne and self-reliance, and Guang Gejianren must now want to abolish Tokugawa. The shogunate and Tokugawa Jiaqi have also been unable to retreat.

After pondering secretly for a while, Tokugawa Jiaqi, whose face was cloudy and uncertain, finally made up his mind, and said through gritted teeth: "Return to the imperial court, and say that the shogunate agrees to resume the long-interrupted Daitasho Festival, and to resume the Aoi Festival."

The so-called Dachang Sacrifice is actually the "Jianzuo Dachang Sacrifice", which is an important part of the enthronement ceremony of Tianhuang in the Wa Kingdom. There is only one emperor in a generation, and it is particularly grand in the eyes of the Japanese slaves. Transcripts and rumors, only a very small number of high-ranking nobles, such as Guan Bai and Regent, can obtain relevant outlines in advance, but the core links can only be carried out by Tian Huang himself, and how Tian Huang himself obtains relevant knowledge and how to practice It is a very secret matter, which is not known to outsiders at all, and has never been opened to the outside world.

In the history of Japan, the Dachang Festival gradually declined after the Heian period. It was resumed together with court ceremonies such as the canonization of the prince during the Higashiyama Tianhuang period, and was interrupted shortly thereafter. Huang enlisted the support of the then shogun Tokugawa Yoshimune and revived again.

As for the Aoi Festival, it is a sacrificial activity held at the Kamo Shrine in Atago County, Yamashiro State. It was originally called the Kamo Festival. The rituals of Shigamo Mizu Shrine (Shimogamo Shrine) and Kamobelei Shrine (Kamigamo Shrine) originated in the fifth year of Qinming Tianhuang.

When the Kamo Festival is held, the official team that transmits the decree and offerings from the shrines of Xiagamo and Kamigamo will depart from the Kyoto Imperial Palace in the morning, pass Shimogamo Shrine, and arrive at Kamigamo Shrine in the afternoon. Afterwards, there will be live performances such as dancing and galloping on horseback.

For the Tim Huangs of the past dynasties of the Wa Kingdom, the Dachang Festival can be regarded as a grand ceremony to erect Tian Huang's majesty and mystery, and the Sunflower Festival is a good opportunity to win the hearts of the people.

It is a pity that the Datasai Festival, which is very important to the Japanese Timbers, was a waste of money and useless for the shogunate. Therefore, it was interrupted for a long time after the Sakuracho Timbers. At that time, the Great Tasting Festival could not be held.

The equally important Sunflower Festival has also been suspended for a long time, and the reason for the interruption is the same as the Dachang Festival, which is a waste of money and useless.

Laboring people naturally refers to the need to use a lot of manpower to do the preparatory work and the aftermath work. This is indifferent to the Edo shogunate and the Tokugawa family. Anyway, the Chinese in the Wa country have never regarded those untouchables as human beings. Pass.

Only the matter of hurting money is absolutely unacceptable to the Edo shogunate—it is the shogunate who pays the money, but Tim Huang is the one who holds the Momoji Festival and the Dachang Festival. This is equivalent to spending the money of the shogunate and raising money Adding Huang's name, the Edo shogunate is naturally unwilling to be the kind of complainer who spends money and threatens others.

Now Tokugawa Jiaqi suddenly proposed to restore the Dachang Festival and the Aoi Festival, so naturally he planned to use the Aoi Festival to lure Guang Gejianren out of the palace.

In other words, as long as Guangge Jianren agrees to restore the Sunflower Festival, he must appear at the gate of the Japanese palace. At that time, whether it is Guangge Jianren who invites Chen Yan, the Ming ambassador to Wa, or Tokugawa Jiaqi, Chen Yan will appear in Wa The entrance of the palace will appear in front of Guanggejianren and Tokugawa Iezari, and it will naturally be Watanabe Youemon's turn to play the rest.

Watanabe Youemon and Matsushita naturally understood the truth of this one night, and they threw rainbow farts such as "the general is wise" and "the general strategizes" at the Tokugawa family as if they didn't want money.

Tokugawa Jiaqi couldn't help but feel a little ecstatic - being a shogun is already so fun, if it is the combination of the Wa Kingdom Tim Huang and the shogun, wouldn't it be so cool to death?

But at this time, Guanggejianren was worried.

Chen Yan left the table after leaving the table in the palace of the Japanese king, "People must rely on themselves", which is actually equivalent to not even eating food, and not even giving Guangge Jianren even a little bit of face, by the way. Then he slapped hard.

If it's just a slap for not giving face, it's really nothing. After all, the short-skinned man has always been thick-skinned. The problem is that he didn't give Guangge Jianren a clear statement before leaving, neither saying he supported Guanggejianren nor Speaking of supporting Tokugawa Iezai, he didn't even show any tendency to favor anyone, which made Guang Gejian very uncomfortable.

As for the nonsense that Guangge Jianren said to Yuan Zhengyi and other dispatched envoys before, it was just "chatting to comfort everyone". Now that all the dispatches have left, Guangge Jianren naturally There is no need to pretend to be strategizing for others to see.

Guangge Jianren raised his hand and frowned, and sighed to the fourth prince, Kuangong Huiren: "Huiren, if this matter can be successful, I will let the Japanese Kingdom Tianhuang be relinquished to you, if not If it succeeds, I'm afraid that the Tianhuang lineage of the Japanese kingdom will be extinct."

Kuan Gong Huiren also frowned slightly, but the reason for Kuan Gong Huiren's frowning was different from that of Guangge Jianren.

Guangge Jianren frowned because the Tianhuang lineage of the Wa Kingdom was likely to be cut off from him, and the entire Wa Kingdom was at risk of changing its surname to Tokugawa in the future.

And Kuan Gonghuiren frowned because Guanggejianren used the word "zhen".

Kuan Gong Huiren has always liked the culture of the Central Plains Tangkou, and is also committed to promoting the restoration of the Wa Kingdom to the imperial court model-the so-called imperial court model is naturally the implementation of the Great Court Model like the Central Plains Tangkou to gather the power of the shogunate.

For this reason, Guangge Jianren sent Kuangong Huiren to Daming International Student College to study early, and Kuangong Huiren did live up to Guanggejianren's expectations, not only learned a lot of messy knowledge, but also He also recruited a lot of down-screen envoys for Guanggejianren.

However, it was also the experience of studying abroad in Daming that Kuan Gong Huiren had some understanding of Daming and knew what would be taboo.

After looking around, Kuan Gong Huiren simply said in a low voice: "Father is drunk from drinking, the so-called Tian Huang is just the old calendar from decades ago, but the current father is canonized by His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty himself. How can the Heavenly King of the Wa Kingdom call himself Tian Huang again? Today, my son can hide from his father and king, but if the father and king make such wild words again in the future, won’t it mean that the entire Wa Kingdom will be destroyed?"

Guangge Jianren glanced at Kuangong Huiren with a bewildered expression, and after Kuangong Huiren nodded heavily, Guangge Jianren waved his hand directly, gesturing all the dwarfs present to leave the palace, There was not even a single guard left behind.

Kuan Gong Huiren breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice: "If your father wants to discuss some confidential matter, it's best not to let anyone serve you by your side, otherwise the news will definitely be leaked."

Guangge Jianren pointed to the direction outside the main hall, and said with a confused face: "Do you know what you are talking about? Those people who just quit are all native Japanese. This Japanese country is loyal to Huang, so will it betray me?"

Asked by Guangge and Jianren, Kuangong Huiren fell into entanglement and silence, and did not speak until a while later: "Father should know that there are Jinyiwei and Dongchang in Ming Dynasty, both of which were famous back then. Hehe, who can guarantee that our conversation will not be known by their spies?"

"Especially these Japanese people you mentioned—they are Japanese people, yes, but how much temptation can they resist? Money is not rare in the Ming Dynasty. Although the treasury can't print it casually, at least it is not bad for the budget to buy a few spies. "

"If the news about you claiming to be Zhen was spread, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty might laugh it off, and he might also think that you have disobedience."

"The former is easy to say, but if it's the latter, I'm afraid that the Ming Fleet on Kyushu Island will immediately cut off all the shipping routes of our country, and the army of the Ming Dynasty will soon reach the mainland of the country."

"If that time really comes, I'm afraid it's not just our family's Tian Huang lineage that will be extinct, but the entire Wa Kingdom!"

Guanggejianren fell silent for a moment.

Guanggejianren can distrust anyone, Chen Yan, Tokugawa Iezari, or even Prince Kinko Nakamiya, the daughter of Kanamiya Huiren's mother Dana Persuading Xiusi Jingzi, but Guangge Jianren would never doubt Kuangong Huiren.

Because of Kuan Gong Huiren's three older brothers, the first prince Liren and the second prince Jun Gong all died of premature age, and the third prince Wen Ren also died. Only Kuan Gong Huiren was able to grow up healthily and was canonized as Kuan Gong. Prince, the proper next Wa Kingdom Tim Huang.

In other words, unless Kanomiya Huiren has lived enough and wants to be slaughtered by the Tokugawa family, otherwise, the interests of Guangge Jianren and Kanomiya Huiren are exactly the same, no matter who else is killing the shogunate In terms of betrayal, Kuan Gong Huiren is the one who is least likely to betray.

In addition, Kanomiya Huiren's vision has always been relied on by Guangge Jianren - when Tokugawa Ieqi had just sold the Wa Kingdom to Ming Dynasty, Kanomiya Huiren pointed out that Tokugawa Ieqi was not reliable and asked Requirements for studying abroad in Daming.

But after being silent for a while, Guanggejianren let out a chuckle, forced a smile uglier than crying, and said, "So what? Don't say that the emperor of the country doesn't care about the Wa country. Life and death, even Chen Yan, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, didn't care about the life and death of the Wa Kingdom, the Tokugawa family..."

However, Kuan Gong Huiren suddenly shouted: "Father! As I said just now, you are the king of the Wa Kingdom personally conferred by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. Even if you are to be deposed for various reasons, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty must issue an order That's fine, if the Tokugawa family wants to abolish the establishment, I'm afraid it's not just the face of our country that will be hit."

Guangge Jianren snorted coldly and said: "Then what? The emissaries of the Edo Shogunate Shogunate have already begun to move around, and the Tokugawa family has also been cornered by them. If he doesn't want to get rid of me, I will We will definitely get rid of him, and there is no room for relaxation between the imperial court and the shogunate."

"No, there is still a turning point." Kuangong Huiren bowed and said: "Now what you need to do most is to give full power to the Ming Dynasty in Kyushu Island, which is already in Kyoto, in the name of the Emperor Ming's personal appointment as the king of the Wa Kingdom. The ambassador asked for help, directly exposing Tokugawa Iezari's desire to usurp the throne."

"In addition, you should also send a memorial to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, tell His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty exactly what happened, and ask His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty to be the master of our country and the people."

Guanggejiren doubted: "Then what? Or is this enough?"

Kanomiya Huiren thought about it secretly and replied: "If it's just to dissuade the Tokugawa family from wanting to usurp the throne, then these are enough. If the father still wants to take this opportunity to suppress or abolish the shogunate, Of course, these are not enough.”

Guangge Jianren suddenly became interested - just now, after studying with so many envoys for a long time, he failed to find a fart, but now Kuan Gong Huiren solved the problem in just a few words?
Guanggejianren asked repeatedly: "Tell me, what else do I need to do?"

Kanomiya Huiren sneered and said, "Naturally, I will find a way to appear in front of the Ming envoy with Tokugawa Jiaqi. If the Ming ambassador to Japan still cares about the face of the Ming emperor, then he will definitely suppress Tokugawa against you. Jiaqi, if he leans towards Tokugawa Jiaqi, then the problem will be easier."

Guangge Jianren hummed, frowned and said, "How can it be easier?"

Kuan Gong Huiren still had a sneer on his face, and even his voice was a bit chilly: "If the envoys of the Ming Dynasty in Japan don't care about the reputation of the Emperor Ming, it means that they must have different intentions, as long as the father is willing to spend money. , it shouldn’t be difficult to win over a bright envoy, right?”

"Besides, father should have someone prepare an ambush in advance. Once the Ming ambassador to Japan expresses his support for Tokugawa Ieqi, then let someone kill Tokugawa Ieqi immediately."

"After the death of the Tokugawa family, the father is still His Majesty the king of Japan, and he can even use the hands of the Edo shogunate to kill that envoy."

……

As the saying goes, people hurt the tiger's mind, and people also hurt the tiger's mind.

Tokugawa Jiaqi wanted to usurp the throne and stand on his own, and Guang Gejianren also wanted to kill the shogunate, so as to completely control the power of the entire Wa country.

In such a situation where dry wood meets raging fire and wild princesses meet hooligans, the plan to hold the sunflower festival at the expense of the Edo shogunate was quickly approved, and the time was directly set to a few days later, and Chen Yan, the Ming ambassador to Japan, also agreed will be invited.

But while waiting for Chen Yan to arrive, Tokugawa Iezai would always unconsciously reach out and touch the samurai sword hanging from his waist, and then look at Guangge Jianren with unkind eyes.

As the saying goes, with a sharp knife in hand, you can kill yourself!
