King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

Hey!
That's what I said.

This made Zhu Gaochi particularly speechless.

What the hell?
what's the situation?
The second brother said all the good and bad things about the relationship.

Whatever he says or does is wrong?

It can be said that Zhu Gaochi was disgusted enough.

"Okay, okay..."

"Second brother, you are right. You said it very well."

"You are the smartest!"

"Everyone else is a fool."

"Okay?"

"Are you satisfied?"

Zhu Gaochi was very unhappy and glared at him fiercely, saying something sarcastic.

In fact, how could he, the crown prince, not understand what the second brother said?
But why is he like this?

Isn’t it simple?

It is easy to destroy Japan, but who can say that it is 100% possible to kill all the Japanese?
Who can guarantee 100% that nothing will slip through the net?
Even if everyone is killed, there won't be any fish that slip through the net.

But if Japan gets these things, who can tell how many casualties it will bring to the Ming Dynasty and how many Ming soldiers will die?
This is why he is so serious.

to be honest.

Everything is for the sake of the Ming Dynasty and even the country and people of the Ming Dynasty.

See this situation.

Zhu Gaoxu did not dare to laugh or speak any more, and then hurriedly said to comfort him:
"Hey hey..."

"Boss, that's enough, that's enough!"

"Don't be nervous, don't think too much."

"I know you are worried, don't worry..."

"It's not like we don't know about the Japanese's channels."

"Now that we know this, we just need to take proper precautions."

"It's not a big problem."

"Don't worry, don't worry..."

at this point.

What else could Zhu Gaochi say?
What's the point?
The person is not his, so can he really force Liu Fang back and issue new orders?
to this end.

He could only accept it and didn't bother to pay any attention to Zhu Gaoxu.

Then, Zhu Gaochi turned around quickly without any hesitation and walked out of the yard with big strides.

no way.

He was really worried that if he didn't leave and continued to argue with the second brother here, he might really be pissed off to death by this bastard.

……

Envoy Post.

Ashikaga Yoshimochi's room.

Lying on the comfortable and soft couch, Ashikaga Yoshimochi half-closed his eyes, stirring the lid of the cup in his hand with his right hand from time to time, and tea spilled out from time to time, but he was still unaware of it, and no one knew what he was thinking about.

"Dong dong dong..."

Just then.

A crisp knock on the door woke up Ashikaga Yoshimochi who was in a daze.

His thoughts were instantly collected, and his leaning body slowly straightened up. He glanced towards the tightly closed door and said in a deep voice:
"Come in."

Receive the promise.

A figure pushed open the door and walked in calmly with a slight smile on his face.

The person coming is not someone else.

It was Nakata, the confidant of Ashikaga Yoshimochi, who was brought along on this diplomatic mission to the Ming Dynasty.

Nakata entered and saw Ashikaga Yoshimochi leisurely enjoying a cup of hot tea. He bowed to him with an extremely respectful expression:
"I greet Master Ashikaga."

Ashikaga Yoshimochi, who had half-closed his eyes, suddenly opened them, raised his head slightly, and asked directly:

"Say it!"

"What's the matter?"

Nakata's expression became solemn upon hearing this, and he did not dare to hesitate at all. He reached out from his pocket and took out an envelope sealed with beeswax. He handed it over with both hands with great respect and replied:
"grown ups……"

"Anzi has replied."

"This contains the information that Anzi just passed on, and it is exactly what we need right now."

Seeing the letter presented in front of him, Ashikaga Yoshimochi's pupils shrank, an unconcealable smile flashed across his face, and he nodded with satisfaction.

He then ignored him and reached out to pick up the letter on the table. He carefully looked at the letter in his hand for a long time. After making sure that there was nothing unusual about the letter, he gently removed the beeswax on top, opened the letter, took out the letter inside, and carefully looked at the contents.

As the content comes into view.

Ashikaga Yoshimochi's tightly furrowed brows relaxed at a speed visible to the naked eye. The smile that had been dormant for a while finally appeared on his face, and he laughed out loud:

"Ha ha ha ha………"

"Yeah!"

"Well done, this is a very good job."

As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, waved at Nakata, raised the letter in his hand, and said:
"Just double the reward you promised that person!"

"You proceed to do this."

After hearing this.

Nakata nodded heavily without any hesitation and said:

"Ok."

"I will give the order right away."

Say it.

He pretended to walk out.

However, before Nakata took two steps, he suddenly seemed to have thought of something, his expression suddenly became extremely solemn, and he said in a deep voice:

"grown ups……"

"I have something to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."

Ashikaga Yoshimochi was startled when he heard this, and slowly raised his head, glanced at him with interest, nodded at him and said:

"What's the matter?"

"tell me the story."

Nakata paused, sorted out his thoughts briefly, and said faintly:

"grown ups."

"Just now, after we finished our meeting."

"Ye Mai Tian said in front of everyone that he wanted to go to the Han Palace to meet the King of Han, saying that he wanted to test the King of Han's attitude."

"The royal family has always regarded our family as a thorn in their side."

"I am worried."

Having said this, Nakata paused deliberately, with a hint of embarrassment on his face.

See this.

Ashikaga Yoshimochi waved his hand and said:

"okay."

"Say whatever is on your mind. I know your loyalty better than anyone else."

"Even if I was wrong, I will forgive you."

Get a definite answer.

Nakata no longer had any reservations and simply continued:
"Your Honor."

"This act of buying Tiantian by Ye always feels to me as if it were deliberate."

"I am worried that he might be following some orders from the royal family."

"He tried to use the opportunity of buying farmland from the wild to seek help from the Ming Dynasty court."

"This will be detrimental to your family."

"This matter is of great importance, you must be on guard!"

As he spoke, Nakata paused, a gloom flashed across his face, and he stretched out his hand to his neck and continued:
"grown ups."

"Do you want to find a suitable opportunity to buy the farmland and the royal family?"

The rest of the words were not finished. However, judging from his actions and tone, Ashikaga Yoshimochi knew what he meant.

After a brief silence, Ashikaga Yoshimochi couldn't help but laugh. He waved his hand at Nakata, who looked serious, then shook his head slightly and said:

"okay."

“No need to be like this.”

"Don't worry. Although I don't know the real purpose of Ye Mai's visit to the Hanwang Mansion."

"But you can put your worries aside."

"This is something that is simply impossible to happen."

"If the Ming Dynasty knew about the value of our existence, not to mention that we would be wiped out in the blink of an eye, and the royal family that rules Japan, do you think it would be any better?"

"Do you really think that the royal families of the Ming Dynasty and the Central Plains are all kind-hearted and soft-hearted?"

"A man is innocent if he holds a jade in his possession."

"The royal family is not stupid. They know this better than anyone else."

"In the power struggle between the shogunate and the imperial family, each side knows the other's bottom line. No matter how they fight, they will always leave a glimmer of hope for the other side and will never kill them all."

"And cooperate with Ming Dynasty."

"It is like trying to get the skin of a tiger, which is harmful but not beneficial at all."

"The result will only be self-destruction."

"Choose the lesser of two options. Between death and life, anyone who is not a fool knows how to choose."

"so."

"Don't waste too much time on wild farmland."

"Just do what we should do and achieve our goals."

"Whether it's buying farmland or royal conspiracy, just ignore it."

This statement.

Have to admit.

Ashikaga Yoshimochi's analysis was quite reasonable and weighed the pros and cons of all parties.

But he had planned and accounted for everything, but he had never thought of this in his dreams.

The so-called secret was actually no longer a secret to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty had already begun planning for the entire Japan.

at the same time.

Even if he racked his brains, he would still find it hard to imagine that a person named Ye Mai Tianjia could be a spy sent by the Ming Dynasty to Japan.

The reason why Ye Maitian went to the Hanwang Mansion was not to communicate with the Ming royal family, nor was it to have any conspiracy with the Japanese royal family. Instead, he used it as an excuse to pass on all the information he had learned about Japan over the years, as well as their previous plans in the envoy station.

Everything was placed directly in front of Zhu Gaoxu and the Crown Prince.

Their so-called meticulous plans were instantly full of loopholes and no longer had any secrecy at all.

After he calms down.

Ashikaga Yoshimochi didn't want to say anything more, so he waved his hand and ordered him to leave:
"okay."

"If nothing happens."

"Just get to work."

Nakata bowed slightly and said, "Yes!"

Then, he strode out the door.

After seeing the figure disappear at the door, he looked around the silent room. Ashikaga Yoshimochi's originally indifferent expression instantly withdrew, replaced by a serious look, his relaxed brows were tightly locked, his eyes narrowed, and he muttered to himself in a low voice, hating secretly:
"Having said that."

"But what exactly are these wild buyers, farmland, and the royal family's bastards selling?"

"What conspiracy theories and tricks are you trying to play again?"

"They are really not easy to deal with."

"It is precisely because of this group of bastards who have been dragging Japan backwards, and they don't know the existence of people who are motivated."

"If not."

"Why is our country so poor?"

After a long while, he came to his senses and shouted at the door:
"Here comes someone."

"Tell Lord Yemai to come back and come directly to my room. I have something important to discuss with him."

at the same time.

In the palace of the King of Han.

Ji Gang, the commander-in-chief of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, entered the pavilion.

"I pay my respects to His Majesty the Prince of Han."

Zhu Gaoxu, who had half-closed his eyes and was thinking about something on the soft couch, opened his eyes and waved his hand at him:

"No gift."

Ji Gang stood aside obediently, not asking what happened.

After a brief silence, Zhu Gaoxu simply sorted out his thoughts, stretched out his hand and knocked on a piece of paper on the table that recorded the lives of dozens of people, and said faintly:

"Look at the name of the person recorded above."

"And the situations of the families of these people."

Ji Gang hunched over slightly, reached out and picked up the list on the table. After seeing the names, positions, and other information of the people on it, he was slightly startled, his face full of doubt, and asked:

"My lord."

"This is?"

"Do we need to capture all these people?"

After hearing this.

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said:
"No, no."

"For the names on the paper, I hope the Royal Guards will work harder during this period to provide effective secret protection for these people and their families."

"If anyone has bad intentions towards them, it would be best to arrest them directly."

"Of course. I hope you can capture as many people alive as possible."

Ji Gang was stunned when he heard this, as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight, and he just stood there in a daze.

What the hell?
Protect these people and their families?

No, are you kidding?
Moreover, he more or less knew the identities of the people on the list.

Are they just a group of craftsmen in a weapons workshop?
Is such a lowly identity worthy of the Jinyiwei’s high-profile protection?

Moreover.

Given these people's identities, who would attack them and their families?

I'm afraid they're all mentally ill, right?

Thinking of this, Ji Gang came back to his senses, with a hint of doubt on his face, and subconsciously asked:
"My lord."

"This, this, this"

The words have not yet fallen.

Ji Gang instantly felt a chill running through his body as a stern and murderous gaze fell on him.

As a result, the person who originally wanted to ask Ji Gang a question could not help but hold back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

"Do whatever you are told to do."

"Don't underestimate these people."

"Perhaps in your eyes, they are worthless, pariahs, and their lives may not be worth mentioning."

"How could you know that the person you look down upon is actually a rare treasure in the eyes of some thieves."

"I am not afraid to tell you. This is a death order."

"If anything happens to these people on the list or their families, don't blame me for being rude to you."

"I think you know my character to some extent."

"Don't think that just because you are the old man's close minister or the emperor's lackey, I won't dare to do anything to you."

"Believe me, if I mess this up."

"I can't guarantee what I will do if I go crazy."

"Understand?"

This statement came out.

Ji Gang's body suddenly trembled, and a piercing chill went up from his tailbone to his crown. Countless goose bumps appeared on his body, and the contempt for the people on the list disappeared in an instant. He did not dare to hesitate and quickly responded:

"promise!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty."

"I will definitely be fully alert and will never let you down." (End of this chapter)
