This time, those who came to offer gifts to the Holy Han Empire were envoys from the Gaoshan Kingdom, which has the largest land area among the Fuso Islands. The Gaoshan Country owns Gaoshan Island, the second largest island among the Fuso Islands. The one that is even larger than Gaoshan Island is Fuso Island.
, but there are dozens of countries on Fuso Island, which is not as peaceful as Gaoshan Island. Therefore, Gaoshan Country is also the richest country among Fuso Island.
Different from the Holy Han Empire, the Takayama Kingdom adopted a queen system, but the queen was only a nominal ruler, and the real person in power was Sato Johito, the great general of the Takayama Kingdom.
The general is an official position with real power and can be appointed according to family tradition, but often the so-called appointment is when the new general kills the former general and the queen is forced to recognize it.
The queen system is a family tradition. Before the queen dies, she will pass the throne to a designated unmarried princess who will succeed the new queen. In October last year, the former queen of Takayama Kingdom suddenly died of illness. Surrounded by the general Sato Kamito
Next, Princess Zhixun, who was only eleven years old, became the new queen.
Queen Zixun also recognized Sato Johito as her godfather. It was obvious that she was a new nominal ruler. In order to show her orthodoxy, Sato Johito sent Ashishi Kohachiro as an envoy to pay tribute to the Holy Han Empire, hoping to be canonized by the empire and become
The legitimate queen.
On this tribute trip, in addition to gold, silver, jewels and rare herbs, Shimizu Kohachiro also brought two princesses, one fourteen and one sixteen, both losers in the battle for the throne, as gifts.
, their destiny is to be given to the Holy Han Emperor as beautiful concubines.
They heard that the new emperor of the Holy Han Empire was only in his thirties and in his prime. Who would have thought that after they arrived in Donghai County, they learned that Emperor Dade of the Holy Han Empire had died of illness and that the successor was the twelve-year-old Emperor Yongding.
.
The envoy from the Gaoshan Kingdom was confused. We were waiting for the marriage here, but we didn't expect that your emperor was dead. The envoy then asked if the two princesses could be married to the new emperor. Guan Xiang told them: "First of all,
, our emperor of the Holy Han Empire will never marry someone from another country.
As queens, your two princesses can only be the emperor's beauties, similar to low-grade concubines, but the emperor is not allowed to expand the harem before marrying a wife as a queen. So you can give the two princesses to
Go to the palace and be a maid for a while."
Kohachirou, the envoy from Takayama Kingdom, shook his head like a rattle and said in skilled Chinese: "Impossible, impossible. After all, we are sending two princesses. Although they cannot become queens or imperial concubines, they cannot
Becoming a palace maid, if I do this, I can only commit suicide to apologize to Her Majesty the Queen."
Guan Xiang smiled bitterly and said: "But the reality is like this, you have not caught up with the good times."
Ashishita Kohachiro rolled his eyes and asked: "Who is the most powerful person in the Holy Han Empire now?"
Guan Xiang replied proudly: "Of course it is the head of my family, the king of Hejian County, the general marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, the ghost general Zhang Xiaowu. He nominally commands the world's soldiers and horses, and actually controls the four northern states, with twenty armored men."
Ten thousand, two million soldiers were called up."
After Ashite Kohachiro heard this, he was so frightened that he swallowed his saliva. The entire Takayama Kingdom only had six thousand soldiers. This was already the most powerful Fuso Kingdom. He didn't expect it to be incomparable to the empires on the mainland.
When Ashita Kohachiro saw Zhang Xiaowu, he was immediately frightened by Zhang Xiaowu and knelt on the ground trembling. In addition to being a messenger, Ashita Kohachiro was also a samurai. He was extremely sensitive to people who had also killed people. He even saw the fighting pair in Zhang Xiaowu's eyes.
and the desire to kill.
"This is a terrible person, a man from hell." In combination with hearing, Xiaoba Lang became more cautious and knew about Zhang Xiaowu's problems.
Zhang Xiaowu was curious about the Fusang Islands, so he asked for it, and even compared Japan in Japan. Of course, the Fuson Islands seemed to be more fragmented.
The entire Fusang Lie State has more than 500 islands, and the largest island is the narrow and long Fusang Island. The second largest island is Takayama Island. The remaining islands are different in size.
In addition, the constant earthquake has caused the Fusang civilization for thousands of years, and there have been hundreds of countries with surnames.
Fuson Island's attacks cannot be unified, so Takayama Kingdom of Takayama Island becomes the empire that is most likely to unify the Fusan Islands. However, Takayama also has its natural disadvantage.
It is because Takayama country has enjoyed peace for too long, and everyone does not want to break the domestic peace.
Several generals before Sato Uen Ren were all ambitious people who wanted to conquer the unified hippot, but hardly lived 40 years old, either being assassinated, or died on the way to the conquest.
After Ren served as the general, he adopted the defense that was almost a retreat. He sent the nickname "Old Turtle".
Zhang Xiaowu also asked the Queen's system of Takayama, especially how women passed on to the generation. As we all know, men can be emperors in the three palaces and sixth courtyard, but women?
Xiaoba Lang said that the Queen of Takayama has no queen, but there is a princess.
In March each year, the general will choose ten 18 -year -old unmarried teenagers in the poor family to enter the palace as a male pet. They win the love of the queen through various talents, and then they can be selected by the queen to become the princess.
Sleeping, and once the queen is pregnant, the princess must be killed. Therefore, entering the palace often means to give birth, so that children without nobles are willing to be the princess, and the general can only choose "life" in poor people who can't survive poor.
juvenile.
At that time, if the queen gave birth to a baby boy, the baby boy would be executed immediately. If the baby girl was born, the baby girl would be lucky to stay as the princess.
When the princess grows up, some will be married to the ministers in the hearts of the people, and some will be left by the queen as the crown prince. The queen will pass the throne to the crown prince before dying.
Reward to others.
"Very good, very good." Zhang Xiaowu listened with a smile and listened to the Han dialect of his feet, saying, "Guan 骧, entertain him well, you can talk about the cooperation between the two countries these days."
Xiaoba Lang took his head respectfully, and then faded slowly, and he didn't even dare to carry Zhang Xiaowu, showing sufficient respect and respect, which caused Zhang Xiaowu to laugh at him: "Look, compare people, we seem to be ritual -
- But he is too polite, I look tired. "
Everyone laughed at Ruan Qingwen: "There is a reason for him to do so. He originally tribute to us four strange treasures. Now there are only three left, because there is a god -female fruit tree with ten years of flowering and ten years.
Long dead ... "
Zhang Xiaowu stood up and said anxiously: "What? Ten years of flowering, ten years of results, the goddess tree?!" Ruan Qingwen nodded, Zhang Xiaowu was too excited and shouted, "Bring him back, bring me back, bring it with
Come back! Bring back the hip mulberry messenger! I still have to ask him. "
