Dominate Marvel

On the first day of April, there was a great court meeting in Qianqing Palace.

The Japanese and Japanese envoys were also included in the meeting.

Tokugawa Mitsutomo learned early in the morning that Daxia Zi was going to see him at the court meeting today, and he became even more uneasy. I have ignored him for so long, and now I suddenly want to see him, which means that the result is about to come out.

Whether it was good or bad, Tokugawa Mitsutomo didn't know.

The Great Xia Dynasty Meeting was based on a half-month system, once on the first day of the month and on the fifteenth day of the month. The time for the court meeting starts from Chen hour.

Compared with the previous Shenzhou dynasties, Daxia was much more comfortable in this regard.

For example, in the former Ming Dynasty, large and small court meetings were held almost every day, and officials would get up after the third watch and prepare to go to court in the dark.

Ying Yi hated this deeply.

No matter how frequent and diligent the meetings are, if they can't solve the problem, what's the use?

Normally, officials from various ministries and departments go to the ministries and departments to do things by themselves according to the time. Many small things can be solved in the ministries and departments. No matter how bad it is, Yi Ge can always do it, right? There is no need to bring everything to the court to argue.

If Yi Ge can't solve it or make a decision, it's not too late to come to the court to discuss it.

At the end of Mao Shi, the palace door was already wide open. Court officials in groups of three or three entered the Forbidden City one after another in sedan chairs or cars. Tokugawa Mitsutomo and his deputy also followed in. He was cautious all the way, his ears perked up, hoping to get some information.

But nothing was found.

When the bell rang loudly, all the officials went to the palace. Before the emperor arrived, they all took their seats and waited, whispering to each other.

Zheng Yunzhi, the heavenly official of Yige, and Sun Wen, the local official, were sitting at the front, whispering.

Zheng Yunzhi said: "Today is the first day of the lunar month. I'm afraid Chaozhou has already started fighting."

Sun Wen said with a smile: "Your Majesty is determined to wander around Yingzhou. The date has been decided, so naturally he will do whatever he wants."

The two of them talked and glanced at Tokugawa Mitsutomo at the end.

"In this ignorance, the country will be destroyed and the family will be destroyed. Well, there is really not so much morality in worldly affairs and between countries." Huang Zongxi, a minister of the Ministry of Rites not far away, sighed repeatedly: "Your Majesty has gone too far in this matter. It’s far-fetched and will leave clues for future generations.”

Zheng Yunzhi and others all laughed after hearing this.

Zheng Yunzhi said: "Master Huang is familiar with the scriptures and got the word 'benevolence and righteousness'. However, saints also have internal and external distinctions. The saint's benevolence and righteousness are internal and not external. The enemy's benevolence and righteousness cannot be tolerated unless they are transformed from the outside. Within, we have become the people of Daxia. Otherwise, how can we be benevolent and righteous?"

"Your Majesty is always more outspoken." Huang Zongxi said: "It's not me who doesn't know the inside and outside of benevolence and righteousness. In fact, it is to defeat him through war, which is not the way of a saint."

Sun Wen laughed and said: "Master Huang, what you said is wrong. Your Majesty's attack on the Japanese was not without reason. Daxia inherited the Han Dynasty from the previous dynasty, and the things left by the previous dynasty were also the things left by the ancestors. Why not solve them? What about Yingzhou? As for the Japanese, first there was the Japanese Rebellion in the Southeast, and then there was the Wanli Chaozhou War. Although the previous dynasty barely won a victory, our Xia people and officers suffered a lot from it after all. The previous dynasty was incompetent and could only passively endure it. Returning the favor, your Majesty now acts with great righteousness and avenges the nation. The sage said: How to repay kindness? Repay kindness with kindness. Why repay grievances? Repay grievances with straightness."

Huang Zongxi just sighed again and again.

The revanchism of the Gongyang faction, which had long been annihilated in weakness, is now resurrected. I don’t know if it’s good or bad.

Gongyang Chunqiu was also a Confucian sect. From this point of view, there was indeed a reason for Daxia's expedition to the Japanese. Song Xianggong restored the vengeance of the ninth generation, which was a great disaster in the Spring and Autumn Period. The saints have said that all hatreds from nine generations ago must be avenged. The damage caused by the Japanese country to China only lasted a hundred years. How can we forget it?

If you forget, you will forget your ancestors. If you can forget the hurt your ancestors suffered, are you still human?

He also heard Zheng Yunzhi say: "Don't talk about revenge for the ancestors. Just say that the troops sent against the Japanese now are not without reason. The Japanese want to open the sea, but they are unwilling to pay the price and continue to pester. This is not making fun of the majesty of Daxia. ?How not to teach him a lesson?"

Huang Zongxi was speechless.

The bells rang, but everyone was silent.

Ying Yi, dressed in a luxurious and majestic imperial crown, turned out in obedience. All the ministers stood up and bowed: "Hail, Your Majesty!"

Ying Yi flicked his sleeves and said, "Sit down flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Ying Yi sat on the dragon chair and said, "Today is the first day of the fourth month of the lunar month. If you have anything important to do, please report it as soon as possible."

Then I saw the director of the Zanhua Painting Department of the Military Aircraft Mansion on the right came out directly and said: "Your Majesty, the Japanese country is teasing Daxia by opening the sea and damaging your Majesty's majesty. Please send troops to attack it!"

The sexton was dressed in a military uniform, stiff and upright, as strong as his tone.

As soon as these words came out, Tokugawa Mitsutomo and the two at the end were struck by lightning, and they were confused and didn't know where they were.

Then he heard Ying Yi say: "Where is Huang Qing from the Ministry of Rites?"

"I'm here." Huang Zongxi stood up and said.

"Is there any conclusion on the negotiations with the Japanese country?"

"No." Huang Zongxi sighed secretly and said seriously: "The Japanese country refused to cede Tsushima Island as a place for mutual trade."

Ying Yi nodded slightly: "Banning the sea is an imperial strategy. The Japanese country wants me to open the sea. They ignore the imperial strategy and are unwilling to pay the price. Huang Qing, the military aircraft office is teasing me with it and damaging the majesty of Daxia and sending troops to attack it. You What do you think?"

Huang Zongxi paused for a moment and bowed: "But please ask for your Majesty's Holy Judgment."

Ying Yi nodded slightly and said: "I inherited the fire of Yanhuang, inherited the great rule of the previous dynasty, stabilized the world, and pacified all the people. At the time when the empire was first established, a small country called Chuo'er provoked and teased me, causing great loss to my face. The Japanese country, The country of Yingzhou has had exchanges with Shenzhou since the Han Dynasty. It is a vassal and has benefited from Shenzhou endlessly. However, it has repeatedly peeked at Shenzhou, and it is a wolf's ambition. I will not talk about it for a long time, just talk about the Japanese rebellion along the coast and the Wanli Dynasty dispute in the previous dynasty. All of them have caused the blood and death of my people in Xia. This is especially true for Duke Xiang's revenge for the ninth generation. I feel the same pain for my ancestors, and I must avenge this."

"Your Majesty, prepare a decree."

The female official waiting under the steps of the Majesty stepped out and said: "Your Majesty."

"The Japanese country's arrogant ambitions have harmed the people of our ancestors, and this revenge must be avenged. They also regard Daxia's sea ban strategy as child's play..."

"Emperor! Emperor!"

At this time, Tokugawa Mitsutomo finally came to his senses. With a miserable look on his face, he fell out and said loudly: "The emperor is above me. The Japanese country has no intention of offending. Please be aware of it!"

He also said: "Emperor, the Japanese rebellion in China was caused by pirates along the coast. The chief culprit in the Wanli Chaozhou dispute, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, also died. Why should the Emperor implicate future generations? The sage talks about benevolence and righteousness. Son of Heaven, the Japanese country has been looking forward to Daxia's benevolence and righteousness for a long time!"

Ying Yi looked at him expressionlessly, and the mighty and substantial Wia swept across the Qianqing Palace. Tokugawa Mitsuyo was speechless anymore.

"How dare you quibble in front of me? Where are the guards in front of the palace?"

Then some soldiers came to the temple.

"Shoot the Japanese envoy out."

"Here!"

Amid the screams, the second Japanese envoy was driven out of Qianqing Palace. Ying Yi accepted the emperor's power and said: "The Japanese country has been a vassal state of China since ancient times, but it is ambitious and must be defeated. Send me an edict to order the Liaodong Theater and Shandong Naval Theater to immediately send troops to pacify the Japanese in March. If the Japanese are not peaceful, don't come back to see me. .”
