Zhang Yangquan turned his head and was about to let Qin Lingsi out when he suddenly heard a creak, the door of the wooden cabinet was pulled shut, and Qin Lingsi disappeared again.
Zhang Yangquan hurried over and said, "Why are you hiding in there again?"
"Brother-in-law, just talk to Geng Si and pretend I don't exist!" A voice came from the cabinet.
Zhang Yangquan was about to speak again, but footsteps sounded from behind, but it was Geng Si who walked in, cupping his hands and saying, "My lord, Geng Si, pays homage to your Majesty!"
Zhang Yangquan had no choice but to turn around, go back to the desk and sit down, saying: "General Geng, what can I do?"
Geng Si's face was extremely solemn and he said: "Your Majesty, news just came from Chizhou that Tianwan's army raided our army in Chizhou!"
Zhang Yangquan stood up suddenly and said with a change of expression: "Are they going to war without declaring it?"
Geng Si hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, General Fu has already repelled them!"
Zhang Yangquan's face was uncertain. After a long silence, he asked: "Is it Zhao Pusheng who attacked Chizhou?"
Geng Sidao: "It's this person!"
"How many people are attacking?"
"Thirty thousand people!"
"Is there any excuse for sending troops?"
Geng Si showed an angry look on his face and said: "This is the most infuriating thing. What did Zhao Pusheng say that Peng Yingyu entrusted him with a dream, saying that Chizhou Road was dead and the army was finished, so let us evacuate!
Zhang Yangquan said in a deep voice: "This matter is definitely not that simple. Please step aside first, I want to think about it carefully."
Geng Si retreated.
With a creaking sound, Qin Lingsi opened the door of the wooden cabinet.
She knew something serious had happened, so she left Zhang Yangquan quietly and left the study quietly.
Zhang Yangquan suddenly stopped her.
"Little sister, what do you think about this matter?"
Qin Lingsi's eyes lit up, she walked over quickly, rolled her eyes twice, and said with a smile: "If the Tianwan Army really wants to start a full-scale war with us, they will never fight so recklessly. There must be something weird behind this!
”
Zhang Yangquan said: "That makes sense!"
Qin Lingsi was even more excited after receiving the praise, and hurriedly said: "Brother-in-law, didn't you always say that Xu Shouhui and Ni Wenjun were going to have an internal fight? Do you think this time it would be related to this matter?"
Zhang Yangquan's eyes flashed and he said: "You are right to remind me that Tian Wanjun's weird behavior is probably related to the internal struggle!"
Qin Lingsi smiled and said: "I can't tell you too much! Brother-in-law, I won't disturb you anymore!" She turned around and left the study.
Zhang Yangquan stood up and paced back and forth in the room.
Suddenly, he walked to the wooden cabinet and opened the wooden door.
It's very empty inside, and there are even two small stools.
Zhang Yangquan got in, sat on a stool, and then closed the wooden door. The surroundings suddenly fell into darkness.
A weak light shines in from the two small holes in the cabinet door. Through the small holes, you can see the study clearly.
I don’t know why, but this dark and narrow environment actually gives people a strange sense of security.
Zhang Yangquan smiled and shook his head, stood up, opened the door and left the wooden cabinet, and slowly walked out of the study.
"Your Majesty, do you want to move the wooden cabinet out?" Yang Sanqiang asked.
Zhang Yangquan waved his hand and said: "Stay."
It was now past You hour, and the food had been prepared in the back hall. Qin Lingjun sent someone over to invite him to have a meal.
When they arrived at the back hall, Shen Qianqian was also there.
Although Shen Qianqian often came to the palace, Qin Lingjun seemed to have some kind of tacit understanding with her. He only allowed her to stay for lunch, but never invited her to stay for dinner.
There is indeed a difference between dinner and lunch in the palace. Everyone eats their own lunch, but only dinner is eaten together.
Today is the first time she has appeared on the royal palace dinner table.
Zhang Yangquan couldn't help but look at her one more time. Shen Qianqian lowered his eyes, his face was rosy, and he seemed to understand the meaning of the meal.
Zhang Yangquan didn’t say much.
He has always respected Qin Lingjun and left all the affairs of the palace and back house to her.
So I walked silently to the north of the dining table and sat down.
The dining table in the palace is rectangular. The north and south sides are very short and can only seat one person. The east and west sides are very long, so three people can sit there without being crowded.
In the past, when Zhang Yangquan was sitting in the north, the Qin sisters were sitting on his left and right sides respectively. Now that there is one more person, the atmosphere suddenly becomes a little strange.
Qin Lingsi, who talks a lot during meals every day, was especially quiet today, sitting there silently without saying a word.
Qin Lingsi actually doesn't hate Shen Qianqian, and even has a good impression of her.
However, for some reason, when she thought that Shen Qianqian would become a member of the family in the future, she would feel a strange and awkward feeling in her heart, and she always felt that she could no longer be as carefree as before.
Qin Lingjun noticed the subtle relationship between the two and winked at Zhang Yangquan, asking him to ease the embarrassing situation at hand.
Zhang Yangquan had no choice but to cough and said with a smile: "Do you know about Malage?"
Qin Lingsi and Shen Qianqian both looked over immediately.
Zhang Yangquan smiled and said: "That place is located in the Western Regions. There used to be a powerful dynasty called the Persian Empire. Now it has been divided into many tribes. The leader of one tribe is a Han Chinese named Chen!"
Qin Lingsi was surprised: "How could he go to a place like that and become the leader of a foreign tribe?"
Zhang Yangquan said: "Then I don't know. This is recorded in a book called Dao Yi Zhi Lue..." He told a few interesting anecdotes from Dao Yi Zhi Lue.
The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly relaxed. Qin Lingsi kept asking questions, and Shen Qianqian would occasionally speak out.
After Zhang Yangquan finished explaining the situation in Australia, Shen Qianqian suddenly said: "Your Majesty, do you still remember Liu Ju?"
Zhang Yangquan said: "Of course I remember, Chang Yuchun was his subordinate before!"
Qin Lingsi snorted: "This bastard wanted to come and beat us before, and then he took refuge with Zhang Mingjian. Now that Zhang Mingjian is dead, is he not dead yet?"
Shen Qianqian covered her mouth and smiled, and said: "Not only is he not dead, he is still thriving in the Japanese country!"
Qin Lingsi asked in shock: "Why did he escape to Japan?"
Shen Qianqian said: "I heard that after he betrayed Fang Guozhen, he encountered a Japanese ship at sea, so he followed him to Japan!"
Qin Lingsi suddenly said: "Ah, I remembered that Chang Yuchun also stayed with him in the Japanese country!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Qin Lingjun asked strangely: "He is Han, right? General Chang is no longer with him. How can he continue to stay in Japan?"
Shen Qianqian said: "It's strange to say that Liu Ju suddenly seemed to have an enlightenment. He offered advice to the guardian of Hizen Kingdom many times and helped Hizen Kingdom expand a lot of territory. The guardian valued him very much. Not only did he make him the city lord, but he also Marry your daughter to him!"
Qin Lingsi snorted: "I don't believe that bald man can suddenly become enlightened. There must be someone around him who can help him with ideas!"
Shen Qianqian echoed: "It's very possible!"
Zhang Yangquan suddenly said: "I heard from Brother Chang that the Japanese country is now divided into the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and there are two emperors and Miss Qianqian. Do you know the details?"
Shen Qianqian clicked her chin: "This started more than ten years ago."
The Qin sisters were very interested. They put down their chopsticks and listened attentively.
Shen Qianqian said slowly: "The king of Japan at that time was called 'Emperor Go-Daigo'. He was originally a very accomplished emperor. As soon as he became emperor, he wanted to get rid of his status as a puppet emperor!"
Qin Ling wondered: "Could it be that he, like Han Qing'er, was a child when he succeeded to the throne?"
Shen Qianqian shook his head and said: "No, he was already an adult when he succeeded to the throne."
"Then how did he become a puppet?"
Zhang Yangquan said: "The Japanese country is now under the rule of the shogunate, and the emperor has become a decoration. If I remember correctly, this is the period of the Kamakura shogunate, right?"
Shen Qianqian glanced at him and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you even know the affairs of Japan! But you remember wrongly, the Kamakura shogunate has been destroyed, and now is the period of the Muromachi shogunate."
Qin Ling thought: "What exactly is the shogunate you are talking about? Is it more powerful than the king?"
Zhang Yangquan said: "The shogunate is similar to the combination of the Zhongshu Sheng and the Privy Council, and it can make decisions on its own regardless of political and military matters, without having to ask the monarch at all!"
Qin Lingsi was speechless and said: "How could the king of Japan tolerate this situation?"
Qin Lingjun said calmly: "This is normal. When the monarch is weak and the minister is strong, it is useless for the monarch to resist!"
Shen Qianqian said softly: "So after the shogunate was established, the Japanese kings wanted to overthrow the shogunate and take back their power. After Emperor Go-Daigo succeeded to the throne, he launched a total of three actions to overthrow the shogunate!"
Qin Lingsi asked quickly: "Did he succeed?"
Shen Qianqian smiled and said: "The first two times failed. When the shogunate fell for the third time, a general named 'Ashikaga Takaji' betrayed the shogunate, and the shogunate was finally eliminated by Emperor Go-Daigo!"
Qin Lingjun wondered: "Since he succeeded, why did another Muromachi shogunate appear?"
Shen Qianqian sighed softly.
"After Go-Daigo took control of the military, he began to pursue pleasure, and his rewards and punishments were unknown. All his ministers were very dissatisfied. As a result, a man named Ashikaga Takauji betrayed him, deposed him, established a puppet emperor, and established the Muromachi Shogunate!"
Qin Ling thought blankly and said: "Are this Ashikaga Takashi and the previous Ashikaga Takaji brothers?"
Shen Qianqian smiled and said: "They are the same person. The person who established the Muromachi shogunate was Ashikaga Takashi, the man who betrayed the Kamakura shogunate!"
Qin Lingsi touched her chin: "I think Ashikaga Takauji betrayed him because he wanted to become the shogunate boss himself!"
Shen Qianqian smiled and said: "It's very possible!"
Zhang Yangquan suddenly said: "In this case, it should be the Muromachi shogunate who unified the Japanese country. How could the Northern and Southern Dynasties appear?"
Shen Qianqian said: "It's just because Emperor Go-Daigo quietly escaped from Kyoto with the three artifacts of Japan and opened the Southern Dynasty in Yoshino Castle in the south of Japan to confront the Muromachi shogunate and the puppet emperor in the north!"
Zhang Yangquan nodded.
He suddenly remembered that it was the confrontation between the Japanese and the Southern and Northern Dynasties that led to the proliferation of rogues, and eventually the formation of Japanese pirates, invading the coastal areas south of the Yangtze River.
The Japanese live in desolate places on islands. As long as they are strong, they will have wild ambitions and peek into the Central Plains.
Instead of worrying about it in the future, it is better to take action first and wipe out the Japanese country to avoid future troubles.
Of course, this matter cannot be rushed.
At the moment, we must focus on Jiangnan. After occupying Jiangnan, it will not be too late to destroy the Japanese.
