Chapter 517 Peace in Kyoto, Hongwu Yanwu
Kyoto.
After a month, Yue Lin met an old acquaintance, and to his surprise, he turned out to be Hu Weiyong, the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty.
The two are sworn enemies, but now for the sake of the national interest, they have to temporarily put aside their differences and speak out unanimously.
"Hmph! The prince-in-law is really talented! He even changed his name to the pirate leader Yue Buqun!"
Hu Weiyong snorted coldly: "If you don't know, you think I, the Prince Consort of the Ming Dynasty, am a strong man!"
Yue Lin was about to retort, after all, everyone is working for the imperial court, why do you, a veteran helper, still keep doing it?
Just seeing the young master standing behind Hu Weiyong, Yue Lin chose to swallow his anger.
That man with almond-shaped eyes and willow eyebrows is none other than Hu Die!
Unexpectedly, the prime minister's daughter disguised herself as a man and secretly came to Japan.
It’s no wonder that Hu Weiyong’s menopause came early and he didn’t like anyone.
Coming to Japan this time is not a fat job.
If the agreement is settled, everyone can return to Jinling smoothly.
If the Japanese cannot accept the conditions proposed by Ming Dynasty, it will be easy for both parties to fight to the death!
It is precisely because of this that both sides have to be cautious.
Hu Weiyong was accompanied by the Third Marquis of Huaixi. This time Huaixi took the initiative to take on such an important task in order to regain the emperor's trust.
"If it weren't for me, the pirate leader, Prime Minister Hu might still be sitting on the bench in Jinling, and he wouldn't be suffering in Japan at such an old age."
Yue Lin retorted, it was not his style to sit back and wait for death and remain silent.
Hu Weiyong, who was scolded, actually calmed down a lot.
"This is the condition proposed by the emperor!"
"First, all descendants of the emperor and shogun must arrive in the Ming Dynasty!"
"Secondly, there can no longer be any private armed forces in the entire territory of Japan! Based on the true understanding, the emperor will remove all the feudal lords."
"Third, I, the Ming Dynasty, have stationed troops in Japan and will be specifically responsible for Japan's security from now on!"
"As for everyone learning Chinese, practicing Chinese rites, and reading Chinese books, it is not as important as the previous ones."
These three conditions are all aimed at Japan. It can be said that apart from retaining the name of the country, Japan is basically a province of the Ming Dynasty.
The shogun is now in his hands, and the emperor dances with him every day, so there is no threat.
What Yue Lin really cares about are the Japanese feudal lords.
They are the largest armed force in Japan.
"Prince-in-law?"
"Don't be anxious, Mr. Hu."
Yue Lin said calmly: "These conditions are not relevant to the Japanese. Each of them is quite sharp. Let me think about it."
"How should we deceive people to make it easier for the Japanese to accept it?"
Hu Weiyong sighed and said seriously: "You and I are all working for the emperor. If this matter is not done beautifully, then all the previous efforts will be wasted!"
"I also ask the prince-in-law to put aside the past grudges and work with me to complete Japan's affairs."
Yue Lin nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, Mr. Hu, personal relationships and state affairs cannot be compared at all, and I will not delay state affairs."
Seeing Yue Lin express his attitude, Hu Weiyong felt relieved.
"Forget it, I'll go see the Emperor and the Shogun first, and you stay here!"
Hu Weiyong patted Hu Die on the shoulder, his eyes not forgetting to warn his daughter not to get too close to the Ming Dynasty's consort.
In the empty room, there was a man and a woman alone, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
Yue Lin said nervously: "If you are not in Jinling to be your lady, what are you doing here?"
Hu Die's pretty face turned red and she said, "You saved my father and my brother before... they were both safe and sound, and I've always wanted to thank you."
"Later I learned that you went to Japan, and I didn't know when you would come back."
"I sneaked onto the boat while my father wasn't paying attention. Since we were already on the boat and gone far away, he could only take me with him."
As the prime minister's daughter, Hu Die also has her own difficulties.
Hu Weiyong always wanted to marry her to Chen Ying in order to maintain the shaky master-disciple relationship between the two.
Especially when he learned that Li Shanchang had been in close contact with Chen Ying recently, Hu Weiyong couldn't sit still.
Hu Die was worried that in his father's absence, Chen Ying, who was able to come in and out of the Prime Minister's Palace freely, would wait for an opportunity to attack him. It was better to take the risk and follow his father to Japan, where he could also meet Yue Lin.
"When can't I thank you? Why bother traveling thousands of miles to come here?"
"The situation in Japan is changing rapidly! Even your father and I can't guarantee that we will escape unscathed."
"The emperor wants to completely control Japan, your father and I must deal with the various feudal lords."
There was obviously a hint of blame and helplessness in Yue Lin's words.
"Are you concerned about me?"
Hu Die said happily in her heart: "Knowing that you have me in your heart, this little girl will be satisfied."
"If it were you, you would definitely have a way to deal with them! What's more, I have my father to help them."
Ah sneeze!
Hu Weiyong, who was far away next door, even sneezed.
I wonder what it feels like for the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty to be described by his daughter as a thug.
"It doesn't matter who is the culprit. I expect there will be a battle with those feudal lords."
Yue Lin pointed at his feet, "It should be in Kyoto! Your father must have expected it, so he brought the third lord of Huaixi here."
"It's a pity that our Ming Dynasty's army only has 10,000 people. The feudal lords who are looking at us outside have an army of more than 100,000 people."
"You are a weak woman. If you don't stay at home, why are you coming here to cause trouble?"
As soon as Yue Lin said this, Hu Die rushed over and got into Yue Lin's arms.
"A weak woman needs a man to protect her, and she can also warm him and give him strength!"
The Prime Minister's daughter is like a kitten, nestling in Yue Lin's arms.
The latter couldn't help but hug each other. The two had known each other for a long time and both understood their respective thoughts. However, due to Hu Weiyong, they did not get together after all.
"Prince-in-law!"
Hu Weiyong entered the room and found that the two of them were still in their original positions, but both of their faces were a little flushed, and he couldn't help but feel confused.
"Phew! Hu Xiang, it's too hot in this room. Let's go out and talk about things while enjoying the cherry blossoms!"
"That's fine! Since the prince-in-law is so elegant, then I would rather obey my orders than respect him."
The two of them placed a pot of turbid wine and started drinking by themselves.
"The emperor is easy to talk to. Anyway, he is a puppet everywhere."
"When I arrive in Ming Dynasty, my life will be better."
"On the other hand, the shogunate is a bit stubborn and would rather die here than go to the Ming Dynasty."
Hu Weiyong sneered: "Yue Lin, there is no one else now, so the truth comes straight to the point!"
"There are more than 100,000 troops stationed outside Kyoto. With only 10,000 troops, can you defeat them one by one?"
"I know what Die'er thinks about you. If you and I can leave Japan safely, I will no longer care about your affairs."
Yue Lin yawned, "Hu Dietan is really unlucky to have a father like you! If I can take you back to the Ming Dynasty, how about Prime Minister Hu resigning and going into seclusion?"
"This way we can still keep in touch. Otherwise, even if you and I return to Jinling, we will still be the great enemy of the imperial court."
