Chapter 272 Status
Yagyu Motokazu's good mood did not last long.
The day after he returned to the manor, all the people came to visit him in a constant stream according to his status and wealth.
Yagyu Tomokazu wanted to see him, and he used the same trick again to hide in the retreat room, but these people came too big. Even if he didn't care, his family couldn't ignore him.
The first person to come to the door was Emperor Chengping.
Emperor Seihei did not come alone. The long convoy consisted of seven Nissan PRINCE Royal and other guards and entourages, with a total of as many as seventeen.
There were police cars leading the way in front and behind the convoy, which attracted pedestrians on the road to take photos and bow.
In 1967, in order to express his attitude of supporting the state-owned manufacturing industry, Emperor Shibu of Japan specially adopted Nissan's PRINCE Royal as the royal car. This was the first time that the Japanese royal family adopted cars produced in Japan as the royal car.
This Nissan PRINCE Royal was produced between 1967 and 1972, and only seven units were produced in total, each PRINCE Royal can take 8 people.
In other words, these seven historical Nissan PRINCE Royals are all royal vehicles of the Japanese royal family. Therefore, when these seven classic cars are dispatched together, it means that the Emperor and his family are traveling together, which is very rare in Japan.
Yagyu Motoka does not live in a vacuum. Even if he thinks he can be rampant, he sometimes can only bow his head in front of his parents.
So, now Yagyu Tomokazu is standing behind his father Yagyu Kazushima, standing outside the gate of the manor to welcome the visit of the Japanese Emperor.
"See Your Majesty the Emperor." As Emperor Hira got out of the car, Yagyu Washima suddenly fell to his knees and met with the samurai etiquette. Although Yagyu Washima had never been a samurai for a day, it could not resist the heart of a samurai. Yagyu Washima, who had the greatest honor to meet the Emperor, was so excited that he could not help himself when he saw the Emperor surrendering to the emperor. When he met the Queen of England several times, he was so excited that he could not see him.
In fact, in this era, the traditional kneeling etiquette of worshiping the Emperor was no longer used, and most people could just bow ninety degrees to the Emperor.
However, some people who regard themselves as samurai, such as members of the Swordsman Association, will adopt such a traditional kneeling ceremony when meeting the emperor. That is because in Japanese Bushido tradition, the emperor is the highest loyalty target of samurai.
Seeing his father kneeling in front, even though Yayoi Tomokazu was a little reluctant, he had to be prepared to kneel down. Although he could be outspoken for a lifetime and dominate the world, he didn't want to bring such a mighty look to his home.
However, before he was about to bend his knees, he glared at the emperor with a little unhesitant expression.
——————————
Emperor Seihei came this time to bridge the conflict rather than trigger the conflict. Seeing Yagyu Motoka's father, Kazushima Yagami, take the initiative to worship him with samurai etiquette, it was a great surprise. As for the god and demon on earth, Emperor Seihei asked himself that he really didn't have that big face!
Emperor Chengping was the one who issued the edict of "never interfering in politics". If the Japanese royal family was really regarded as a god by all Japanese people, what else would he have to issue the edict of "never interfering in politics"?
In the past two hundred years, the power of the Japanese royal family has actually declined long ago - since the decline of the samurai power, the Japanese royal family, which represents the supreme leader of the samurai power, has also declined.
For those who are truly powerful in Japan, if you are the royal family, you are the royal family; if you are the royal family, you are just a leader of a higher-prominent religion (Shitoism).
This cruel truth is a fact that every high-ranking person must understand - strength can determine status, and everything else is just a decoration.
It’s not that these makeups are useless, otherwise there would be no such thing as ‘soft power’. However, when face to face and head-on, only hard power is reliable.
Now, Emperor Seihei is opposite Yagyu Motoka!
————————————
Yagyu and Shima didn't see their son's eyes, but Emperor Chenghei was not blind.
"Ah, please come up quickly!" (Get the relationship closer first)
Emperor Sekihei took two steps in three steps, pulled up Yagyu Kashima and before Yagyu was kneeling down, he quickly announced loudly: "Everyone is exempted from gifts. Today I am not as the emperor, but as a friend. There is no need to bow or bow, hahaha--"
While speaking, Emperor Seunghei laughed with an extremely pleasant expression.
"See Your Majesty the Emperor—"
"Ha, it's Masako. She is indeed young and beautiful, and she is well-deserved! You are even younger and more beautiful than Li! This is Sakura that Li often mentions. Li is here today."
——The following will be eliminated by introducing each other and politely lyrics.
——————————
"Yuanhe Palace, I'll come here in person this time and I want to communicate with you some things."
"I dare not call you that." Yagyu Motoka said with a smile.
There were three people sitting in Yagyu Washima's study, namely Emperor Seihei, Yagyu Washima and Yagyu Tomoka, and Emperor Seihei and Yagyu Washima had serious expressions. As for Yagyu Tomoka, he did not show any impatient expressions, but he was already respectful to his father Yagyu Washima, Emperor Seihei.
My mother, Masako Minamida, went to receive the Japanese queen Michiko Hachida, but she was not here.
Japanese men will not let women be present when discussing important matters. Although the Yagyu family has the highest status, Masako Minamida, the real major event is still decided by Yagyu Kazushima.
Today, Yagyu Kazushima, as the head of the family, naturally has the right to participate in this "high-end talks" that were nothing he had done about.
As for the title of "Dian", not everyone can take responsibility. Strictly speaking, only those living in palaces can be called "Dian", such as the Emperor and the Royal Family.
Of course, the main building of the Japanese shrine is also called the "main hall".
"You are our Japan's greatest pride in the past century, there is no doubt about this!" Emperor Chengping set the tone for the talks first.
"But what you did during this period has made Goguryeo, Japan, and even the entire AFC very uneasy."
"Yuanhe Palace, you are no longer a mortal. On behalf of the Japanese government and the 210 million people of Japan, please do not interfere in human affairs at will! Especially please do not kill people at will!"
Emperor Seunghei stood up, slammed his palms into his chest, folded his hands together, and bowed deeply to Yagyu Motokawa.
This is not a ritual for mortals, but a ritual to go to the temple and worship the gods!
"Your Majesty Seunghei, please don't do this!" Yagyu and Shima quickly supported Emperor Seunghei.
Emperor Seihei is already sixty this year, and Yanagi and Shima look only in their twenties. He stood aside and supported Emperor Seihei, just like Emperor Seihei's son.
"Your Majesty Chengping, I can promise not to kill anyone anymore. However, my family's personal safety must be fully guaranteed. If any situation that endangers my family's safety occurs, today's commitment will no longer be effective."
Under the strong gesture of my father, Yagyu Tomokazu had to stand up, bow to Emperor Seunghye, and said solemnly.
"Okay, okay, thank you, Yagyu Temple. I feel relieved with you. Starting today, your family's security level is equivalent to that of the Japanese royal family. Of course, I heard that you are organizing your own security personnel, and Japan can provide you with special security funds."
After saying this, Emperor Sekihei turned around, held Yagyu Washima's hands to support him, and said sincerely to Yagyu Washima: "Watami, we will have more contacts in the future, is it okay?"
As the saying goes, "The persimmon must be picked and pinched." Yanyu Motoho no longer dares to make any decisions, but Yanyu Motoho's father, Yayu Motoho, obviously has a traditional samurai plot, which is a great breakthrough - looking at what Yanyu Motoho and did in Goguryeo, it is a superb god and demon who is in the world. Who knows how long he can stay in the world?
As a Japanese royal family, Emperor Seihei felt it was necessary to establish a family relationship with the Yagyu family. I heard that Yagyu Tomokazu's younger brother was not married yet, right? His granddaughter is fifteen years old, so everyone can make friends first.
You know, it is not easy for a princess of the Japanese royal family to get married with a good match.
However, this is not the meaning of solicitation. In this world, who dares to say that he will recruit Yagyu Moto-he? This is just a relationship in which the two families are relatively equal and attract each other to support each other.
"Yuanhe Palace, there is another thing, I want to get your forgiveness."
"Speaking."
"When you want to buy a ticket to Goguryeo, I asked everyone not to sell you tickets."
"Oh? Why?"
Emperor Sekipei smiled bitterly, and of course he was not the only one behind the scenes who refused to sell it to Yagyu Moto and the ship tickets, but even the emperor had to take the blame. Not to mention how many benefits the companies had brought to him in order to make him take the blame, the consequences of the swordsman's killing in Japan alone could not accept it as the Japanese emperor.
In addition, Yagyu and Shima act like a samurai who is loyal to the Emperor, Emperor Seihei felt that he could still take the blame.
"Yuanhe Temple, you underestimated your influence in Japan. At that time, as the highest representative of Japanese Kendo, if you really wanted you to go to Goguryeo to seek revenge, no matter what the result was, it would be a heavy loss to the Japanese Kendo world."
Emperor Chengping didn't continue to say the following words - who knew that you were so strong that you could even kill the regular army head-on and even split the mountains.
"It was my decision to not provide support to you at that time. This incident made Oshima Hui feel very guilty. At that time, I heard that you were going to Goguryeo to take revenge. Oshima Hui insisted on going to help you in her private capacity, but I also detained it."
"Please don't blame her."
Emperor Chengping bowed his head and apologized.
In fact, the number of times the Japanese emperor bowed his head was only a handful of times in history.
It is not because of right or wrong, but whether the other party has the right to make them bow their heads. This is the cold real world, not the passionate middle school anime.

"His Royale Lailani, why have you been here for the past few days and never come out for a walk?" On the lawn inside the manor, Sakura Kobayashi, His Royale Li and Lailani were sitting under a big parasol and drinking afternoon tea.
"I either attend cocktail parties or dinners all day, or shoot various advertisements and movies. This is a rare holiday for me. Why do I have to cause trouble?"
"His Highness Lailani is really free and easy. Sakuradian, do you think so?"
"Ah!? Your Highness Li, what are you calling me?"
"Sakura Palace, from now on, you will be called the "Dian".
"—Is it because of Yuanhe?" Kobayashi asked slightly stunned.
"Yes, your Yuanhe Temple has become a saint, and now it is a human god secretly recognized by many countries. Our Shintoism is troubled by what kind of god number should you give your Yuanhe? Do you have any suggestions?"
"————————” Hearing this news, Sakura Kobayashi was a little confused.
——————————————
Since even the Japanese Emperor has come, although there are endless big figures behind him, they can't scare Yagyu and the Shima couple.
In addition to being behind his father, Yagyu Motoka nodded to express forgiveness, permission, smile, and express-
In short, although his father Yayoi Kazushima is a rising star in the Japanese business world, it is really a bit weak when facing these gigantic giants without Yayoi Moto and behind him. After all, the people who come to the manor these days are all big names that he was out of reach before.
It can be said that after half a month, Yagyu and Shima have known all famous Japanese powerful figures.
Just accepting the "mere gifts from these big names, but not respects" from these big names, the assets of the Yagyu family increased by more than ten times.
In just over a dozen days, through a series of dazzling operations such as stock exchange, investment, consulting, and sponsorship, Yagyu, Shima and Masako Minamida suddenly discovered that they had become members of the board of directors of more than 50 large trading companies in Japan.
Such complex operations have even exceeded Yagyu and Shima's vision - the result is obviously so absurd, but every step of the operation is reasonable, reasonable, legal, and able to withstand the strictest legal scrutiny.
Now, Qing Water Purification Company has become a commercial giant with a registered capital soaring to 300 billion yen and has acquired 29 mineral water production, sewage treatment, tap water treatment, and biomaterial manufacturing with complete upstream and downstream industrial chains and reasonable expansion of business fields.
At the same time, his shares have become only 15% of the entire company.
Of course, these shares were not diluted, but were turned into stocks of other companies through stock exchanges.
Let me put it this way, according to Yagyu Kazushima's previous understanding of business, he has now become a big shot in the front line of the Japanese business world.
But in fact, at this time, Yagyu and Shima discovered that all kinds of business giants in Japan are fake. If someone can follow the context behind these assets, the entire Japanese economy can actually be summarized into the hands of no more than ten forces.
Of course, the forces mentioned here do not refer to family forces, but a consortium between some industry giants. There are also competition, fighting and elimination within them, but overall, these giants still have a certain understanding of each other.
Large merchants/finanists of this size blend with each other through financial means, forming a net of heaven and earth, covering the entire Japan.
They are the real ceiling of Japanese upper class society, the upper class society in upper class. Without their recognition, no one can join this circle that dominates Japan.
Even Emperor Chenghei is just a relatively important member in this circle, and he can't even be said to be the most important ones.
Now, due to the existence of Yagyu Moto and this bug, the Yagyu family is finally qualified to see the existence of this big net in a hazy dim way.
