"Longxi Zen Master Zongqian?"

After Yang Zhen heard the answer from this monk, who was bare-headed and wearing cassocks and had a decent appearance, he thought about it in his mind and had no impression of the name he reported.

However, Yang Zhen saw that he did understand her words and could speak Chinese reasonably, so he nodded, pointed at Emperor Mizuo and asked:

"This is your Emperor Gomizuo?"

Hearing Yang Zhen's question, Longxi Zongqian raised his head and looked at Yang Zhen, then looked at the Emperor sitting opposite him with his eyes closed and kneeling, and finally answered cautiously:

"Exactly, the Holiness, whose common name is Masahito, is the third son of Emperor Goyosei. He succeeded to the throne in the 16th year of Keicho, but abdicated in the 6th year of Kanei, converted to Buddhism, and now lives in Gomizuoin as the Taicho Emperor."

The Japanese monks called the emperor who converted to a Buddhist temple the dharma emperor.

Monk Ryukei Zongqian may have thought that Yang Zhen would be detrimental to the Emperor Gosuionin in front of him, so after identifying Masahito, he deliberately emphasized his abdication and conversion to Buddhism.

But he thought too much, and Yang Zhen had no intention of embarrassment for this dead fish that was already lying on the chopping board.

Moreover, Yang Zhen also knew that many emperors in the history of Japan would abdicate their thrones in advance to their children, and then he would either become a monk and stay in the palace, still living in the three palaces and six courtyards, or he would retreat to a certain courtyard to become the Supreme Emperor and retreat behind the scenes.

Control the government.

And this is what is called Yuanzheng in the history of the Japanese.

As for the children who are given way, most of them are young and easy to control, just puppets on strings.

For example, this is the case with Emperor Meisho kneeling in a crowd of royal ladies.

Emperor Meisho succeeded to the throne when she was more than five years old, and the throne was still empty. At that time, her father, Emperor Gomizuo, was thirty-three years old. No matter how high up she was, she could not have any autonomy.

After all, abdicating and abdicating the throne are just some of the daily political tricks of the small imperial court in Kyoto, Japan.

Yang Zhen thought of this and immediately turned his attention to the other members of the royal family kneeling behind Emperor Gomizuo.

"I heard that the current emperor is a female emperor, Zen Master Longxi. Can you recommend her to me?"

While Yang Zhen was talking, he was paying attention to the royal women behind Emperor Gomizuo. At this time, a young woman in robes seemed to realize something and hid behind her.

However, the further she stood back from others and the more she bowed her head, the more eye-catching she became.

Yang Zhen noticed her, glanced at her, and was a little disappointed, wondering if this thin, thin, white-faced young woman with Tang Dynasty makeup and broad eyebrows was the legendary Emperor Mingzheng.

As expected, it’s really just what you’re talking about.

As soon as Yang Zhen's eyes turned away from the thin white woman with broad eyebrows, he heard Zen Master Longxi Zongqian said from the side:

"Going back to the emperor, the person in the middle of the five people in the third row in front of the emperor is none other than the second daughter of the Emperor Gomizuoin, who is now the emperor. Please, please, save some dignity for the royal family and not be rude."

After Zen Master Zong Qian of Longxi said these words, he kowtowed to the ground and remained motionless.

Just over an hour ago, after the Dutch musketeers and the Dutch Uban slaves broke into the palace city, they saw the female officials in the palace and insulted them with their hands, which was so polite.

On the contrary, the soldiers of Jinhai Town led by Zhang Guogan did not invade at will after surrounding Emperor Gomizuo, Emperor Meisho and the accompanying palace ladies.

Although there were many threats, scoldings, insults and pushing and shoving, at least the accompanying women were not taken away and humiliated at will.

Therefore, Longxi Zen Master Zongqian had already made a comparison in his mind, and knew that if he wanted to keep the royal dignity, he could only turn to the Ming Dynasty general who was called the governor in front of him.

To him, the emperor today is a female emperor, with a special status. At the same time, she is young and a young woman. It is inevitable that she will attract the covetousness of those rude warriors.

Once the current female emperor is deprived of her virginity or insulted by those beast-like Dutch musketeers or servants Ubanu, then the current emperor may have no choice but to commit suicide.

When Yang Zhen heard what he said, he naturally knew what he meant immediately.

However, Zen Master Longxi obviously thought too much.

At the very least, Yang Zhen was turned off by looking at the white-faced female emperor with broad eyebrows, and it could be said that he was not interested.

Generally, normal eyebrow makeup is to trim or draw on the natural eyebrows, which is a bit weird, but at least it still has a personal look.

But for wide eyebrows, the original natural eyebrows are shaved off, and then two thick inverted eyebrows are painted on the forehead away from the eyes.

Coupled with a face that was so pale that it looked as if it had been painted with a layer of white lime, and indigo stippling deliberately painted on the corners of her mouth, the appearance of this female emperor looked like a ghost to Yang Zhen.

"Haha, who are you rude to? Are you rude to her? Master, you can rest assured!"

Yang Zhen glanced at the white-faced female emperor with broad eyebrows again, curled his lips, and looked disgusted and disdainful.

But his expression, in the eyes of Zen Master Longxi and the Japanese emperor who peeked at Yang Zhen's face, made them temporarily relieved.

Next, after Yang Zhen found out who Emperor Gomizuo and Emperor Meisho were, he was not so concerned about other people.

Soon, with the "help" of Ryuuki Zen Master Sokin, the identities of the emperor's relatives, including Emperor Gomizuo's empress, Tokugawa Kazuko, were confirmed one by one.

Among these members of the royal family, the one whose status is second only to that of Emperor Myōsho is the eight-year-old Prince Sogemiya Sōhito, the fourth son of Emperor Gomizuo and the half-brother of Emperor Myōsho.

Although Prince Sogo Sōhito is only eight years old, he is currently the oldest surviving son of Emperor Gomizuo.

Of course, in addition to Prince Sogo Sōhito, Yang Zhen also met the three-year-old Prince Hidenomiya Yoshihito, the eighth son of Emperor Gomizuo, under the "introduction" of Ryuki Zen Master Soken.

The three-year-old Prince Hidenomiya Yoshihito was held tightly in the arms of his biological mother, one of the female concubines of Emperor Gomizuo, with a pair of frightened little eyes wandering around.

Yang Zhen knew that if this incident hadn't happened today, Prince Sogo Shoin would have succeeded his half-sister, Emperor Myōsho, as the Japanese Emperor in two or three years, and become another figure in the history of the Japanese nation.

A puppet little emperor, known in history as Emperor Gokomitsu.

Prince Hidenomiya Yoshihito, who is only three years old now, will also inherit the throne of Emperor Gomitsu in a few years and become another puppet of Emperor Gomizuo, known as Emperor Gosai in history.

In this regard, Emperor Gomizuo is really a person who endures humiliation and hides his secrets. When the relationship with the Tokugawa family deteriorated, he retreated in order to advance, firmly holding on to his position of power and his descendants.

The position of the emperor.

In fact, Emperor Mizuo of the original time and space would successively produce several younger sons in the next few years. Among them, the sixteenth son born more than ten years later was later named Noble Miya Shijin.

The prince will succeed Emperor Gonishi to the throne many years later and become Emperor Reigen.

Of course, in this life, Emperor Gomizuo, who has been retiring behind the scenes all his life and also implementing the government of the house, may not have much chance.

And Yang Zhen learned through Ryukei Zen Master Zong Qian that, in addition to Emperor Gomizuo and the current Empress, Prince Sogo Sōhito and Prince Kohide Gong Ryohito, who later became emperors, all fell into his hands.

His mood was naturally quite "happy".

In one operation, a total of four emperors of the Wonu Kingdom were captured in the past, present and future. This trip was worthwhile.

However, just when Yang Zhen was secretly rejoicing, Thomas Pedel, who had been following Yang Zhen and listening carefully to the conversation between Yang Zhen and Longxi Zen Master Zongqian, suddenly stood up and said to Yang Zhen:

"Captain Yang, the palace treasury of the Kyoto Imperial Palace has now been sealed and inventoried, but my people have already searched it, and it seems there is not much gold and silver.

"And you, Governor Yang, have made an agreement with me that whoever enters the city first will be rewarded heavily, and the reward will be the future ransom of the royal family members we captured during this operation.

"Now that our military operation into Kyoto City has been completed, should we hand over these royal members to my subordinates now and let them take care of them?"

"Tang, what did you say?!"

As soon as Thomas Pedel finished speaking, Zhang Guogan, who was also following Yang Zhen, immediately became angry.

He and Thomas Peder's Dutch musketeers rushed into the palace city almost head-to-head.

Therefore, Zhang Guogan was also very aware of the empty treasury in the palace mentioned by Thomas.

But precisely because he knew it, he was very dissatisfied with Thomas's request to Yang Zhen to take over the Japanese royal family.

Although Zhang Guogan didn't know much about Yang Zhen's whole plan, he also knew that these Japanese royal family members included not only the Japanese emperor, but also the current emperor of the Japanese, as well as this prince and that prince. Just by looking at their identities, they

You know, if you catch these people, it will definitely be a rare commodity!

Since there is not much gold and silver collected in the Kyoto Imperial Palace, then the Japanese royal family with these rare items is probably the biggest meat ticket. How can they take advantage of these red-haired devils?!

Therefore, Zhang Guogan, who had long been dissatisfied with the Dutch people's self-centered approach to everything, immediately became angry when he heard Thomas Pedel's remarks.

At this time, Yang Zhen was also very annoyed.

Thomas Pedel said these words in front of the Japanese, which was equivalent to showing the divisive side of the coalition forces.

In Yang Zhen's view, now is not the time to really be done.

Due to the small strength of the coalition forces, they cannot completely control Kyoto City and its surrounding areas. At present, they are actually just taking it by surprise, entering the imperial palace and taking control of the Kyoto Imperial Palace.

Who knows whether those powerful temples outside Kyoto and the mansions of nobles and nobles in the Sakyo area will have a large number of temporarily armed soldiers and horses from King Qin coming to rescue them?

In this case, the distribution of the spoils can be postponed completely. There is no need to argue about this issue in front of so many Japanese royal families and ministers.

However, Yang Zhen was not satisfied with Zhang Guogan's performance, because such behavior further exposed the differences within the coalition forces.

After all, although the Dutch people are selfish, now is not the time to continue to make their differences public and widen.

"Zhang Guogan, shut up."

Yang Zhen first stopped Zhang Guogan, who was full of anger, to stop him from arguing further. Then he turned his head and said to Thomas Pedel:

"Don't worry, Thomas, I will definitely honor what I said. However, we'd better talk about this later."

As Yang Zhen spoke, he shook his head to Thomas Peder, implying that with so many Japanese present, this was not a good time to openly discuss the distribution of spoils.

But Thomas Pedel obviously didn't understand what Yang Zhen meant, or he knew what Yang Zhen meant, but he didn't care about the Japanese prisoners present. So as soon as Yang Zhen finished speaking, he said to Yang Zhen seriously:

"No, no, no, Governor Yang, you have to consider the suggestions of your subordinates, and I also have to consider the wishes of my subordinates. If they don't get what they want, especially what you promised, they will

Our discipline will no longer be enforced."
