Not long after, Tokugawa Hidetada walked into the pragmatic study. The interior was elegantly furnished, just like the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, with unfathomable details everywhere. Hidetada raised his eyes and saw a tall man wearing a red silk silk python robe.
He was sipping the tea leisurely and leisurely, as if he had no idea who was coming.
Wearing a python robe, eight feet tall, with a clear face and a slight beard... There is no doubt that the person in front of him is the Grand Tutor of the Ming Dynasty, the Grand Scholar of Zhongji Palace, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, the pragmatic Hou Gao of Nanning, who is also the "Japanese"
Imperial Pavilion".
Hidetada's heart trembled, and he knew that the other party had deliberately done this to show his aloofness. He immediately stepped forward respectfully to pay homage, and his voice was calm and humble: "In a small country on a deserted island in the East China Sea, Japan's Tokugawa Hidetada visited the Imperial Palace.
Pavilion, I sincerely wish you good luck and good fortune to the imperial pavilion."
Gao pragmatic nodded slightly, his eyes were gentle but seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts: "Xiuzhong came all the way, thank you for your hard work. When I saw him today, he was really heroic and worthy of his father's reputation."
Xiuzhong hurriedly said humbly: "Yuge is flattering you. Xiuzhong is just a warrior. How can Yuge be famous all over the world, and his wisdom is as deep as the sea. When it comes to outstanding people in the world, he is not the second person. Meeting Yuge today is really a tribute to Xiuzhong in his three lifetimes.
fortunate."
Speaking of which, in terms of image alone, Gao Pingshi's praise of Tokugawa Hidetada is just polite. After all, his father, Tokugawa Ieyasu, is a short and fat man. No matter how much his image of Tokugawa Hidetada is "optimized" through maternal lineage, after all, it will not be the same at all.
Now that it's there, how strong can it be?
But that is not the case for Gao Pragmatic. For generations, his family has been a typical image of northern scribes - short in stature but with an elegance in appearance, which is the best image needed for officialdom. He is a person who makes people think "this" at a glance.
This kind of "a gentleman must be correct" is very confusing.
The two sat opposite each other, and there was no sound for a while, except for the strong breeze blowing through the window, which brought a bit of coolness.
After a while, Gao Pingxi sighed heavily and broke the silence: "I heard that Mr. Ieyasu is in good health recently. This is Yi Qianfu's blessing and a blessing for Japan."
Xiuzhong of the Ming Dynasty was moved in his heart. He knew that his pragmatic words were by no means targeted, but he had no way of judging what was going on. He could only reply cautiously: "My father often said that the Imperial Palace has been very kind to you in Japan. Now you are a great minister."
If you can bathe in it, you will naturally enjoy long life."
After hearing this, Hidetada of the Ming Dynasty immediately expressed his position: "The imperial court is narrow and benevolent, and they must be grateful. You, Toyotomi Hide, deeply agree with this matter that does not help stabilize the situation in Japan, and will definitely support it with all its strength."
Xiuzhong of the Ming Dynasty heard that there was nothing wrong with the low-level truth, and said: "Xiao Ming's fleet is a frequent visitor to the Japanese waters, and it is also the glory that you look up to."
"The blessing of prestige"? Does this mean that no one is honest in his heart, but the prestige of being photographed in the "Royal Pavilion" is too heavy, so do you dare to express it in words?
The reason is very complicated. Yan'er's status is stable. As a member of the Yuqi family, only ordinary status can guarantee us. We can also obtain political treatment that is lower than that of our territory through that ordinary status.
So the great Ming Dynasty Hidetada said: "Yi Qian Zhengze and the Tokugawa family are both talented people in Japan. The latter's reward seems to be insufficient. My father has been thinking hard about making up for it recently. Now that there is no official order from the imperial cabinet, Xu Shao can do nothing."
It's even worse. My father must have been very happy before the news was spread back to Edo. As for Yi Qian and Ida, being able to gain the respect of the imperial palace, I believe that the seven of them will be deeply grateful and repay their gratitude forever."
To put it more clearly, the Yi Qian family are not only top ministers like the Qishei family, but also the "pillars of the military family", so the combination of civil and military affairs is not "the integration of public and military affairs". Correspondingly, Toyotomi Hide's Edo shogunate is relatively simple, not at all
The questionable "Pillar of the Wu Family".
"Appeasement is important, but what I want to see more is actual results." Low's pragmatic tone gradually turned serious, and he said solemnly: "Xiao Ming has no shirkable responsibility for the stability of Japan's current situation. If Japan does not have
People are full of ambition and try to stir up trouble again. The Xiaoming court will definitely sit back and watch.
So Gao pragmatically nodded and continued: "Elsewhere, Yi Qian Zhengze and the Tokugawa family clan, Xiao Ming will forget our contributions, and so will you. The contributions and rewards must also match."
Thanks to book friends "Yun Fu Yue Yu", "The Most Beautiful Chen Meilin on the Internet", and "You Need POI" for their monthly support, thank you!
Gao pragmatically looked at the great Ming Dynasty Hidetada, suddenly smiled, and said: "That's not bad." Then he told me about the appointments and "problems" that he and Shimazu Tadashi had discussed later. That's right.
Low pragmatism actually sold Shimazu Tadahashi. He only said that it was his own decision and did not mention the Shimadzu family.
Today's Japan is relatively ordinary. There was no Tokugawa Kōki under the Edo shogunate. But when Kawahide Tadayoshi was alive, that kind of power was undoubtedly in my hands. After all, the characteristics of Tokugawa Kōki are
"The public and military are integrated". The "military" outside does not refer to the military power, in other words, it is not the shogunate.
Whether Ou's leadership is bad or Oshu's investigation is a matter of fact, it is a job set up during the Muromachi shogunate period. Logically speaking, it should be under the control of the shogunate - it is not Edo that has the final say.
Illustrated retribution for all times? You never count on the Japanese for that kind of thing. It's okay to be wrong, since their nature is not to be intimidating but to be kind, so it's not right for you to maintain deterrence.
Gao Pragmatic nodded. Now that we have finished talking about other people's affairs, it is our turn to show ourselves to Toyotomi.
Low pragmatism was a denial. Instead, he tapped his fingers on the table and changed the subject: "The land of Japan has not been called 'Japan' since ancient times. You think, the land of the rising sun, there should be no sunrise. Hidetada, he
What do you think?"
Xiu Zhong of the Ming Dynasty felt guilty, and quickly responded humbly: "My father has always acted according to the will of the imperial palace. As a family of the former general, the Yu Qi family has no vassal responsibility, so it is human nature for my father to be cautious."
Without those, my strength will only be weaker than that of Kawahide Tadayoshi. It is not like the fusion of Hideyoshi, who was at the peak of his strength in history, and Ieyasu, who was at the peak of his strength - there is neither land nor population, nor trade routes nor minerals.
.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! There is no harm in going too far. No matter how clever his old fox is, the gap in strength will eventually be an abyss that can be overcome. And since he is stupid, he naturally knows how to be careful.
It is to cross the red line in your heart, and only dare to seek less benefits for your children, grandchildren, and previous generations within that red line.
No wonder Japanese history books say that although Hidetada was special in fighting, his ability to govern was still poor, and he was considered a qualified shogunate of the Edo shogunate. Looking at what I just said, Shigeta Tasatsu had the power to appoint Toyotomi Masanori and Yi Qianfuzong.
When it fell into the hands of the Edo shogunate, it was left to Yi Qian Gongyi of Kosaka.
Without those, Yan'er wouldn't have enough strength to stay firmly on Japan's side.
The great Ming Dynasty Hidetada immediately expressed his position: "Toyotomi Hide's loyalty to Xiao Ming and Yuge is like the sunshine of Japan, eternal and changing."
Gao pragmatically nodded and said: "Xiao Ming and Japan are separated by a narrow strip of water, and there has been no contact since ancient times. Nowadays, Xiao Ming's fleet frequently travels between the two countries, conveying trade and friendship."
"But do you know how many percent of Japan's people are as grateful as Toyotomi Hide?" Gao Pragmatic raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes like a torch, as if penetrating the heart of Ming Dynasty Hidetada: "Hidetada, Japan has been quiet recently.
?”
Gao Yuanfu stood up, walked to the window, looked at the scenery inside, and said hurriedly: "Xiao Ming and Japan are inseparable. Xiao Ming hopes that Japan will remain stable, and he also hopes that Japan's minor celebrities can be sincerely convinced and enjoy peace. Hidetada
, does he understand what you mean?"
Hidetada Ming pondered for a moment and said: "Mouri Terumoto and Shimosugi Kagekatsu were severely punished before the war. It is true that there are no rumors that we have no concern for the territory before the war, but please worry about the imperial palace, and Toyotomi Hide will try our best to appease them."
Gao pragmatic turned around, looked fiercely into the eyes of Ming Hidetada, and said: "This is bad. Xiao Ming's expectations for Japan, please leave it to Toyotomi Hide."
Gao Gao's pragmatic eyes flashed, and his tone was low: "However, although the sea area is vast, there must be disorder. Especially where Xiao Ming's ship goes, if there are no Japanese ships that follow the channel and are disordered, it may cause necessary storms and waves.
."
----------
The Mori family and the Shimosugi family have been punished, and now each only has more than 800,000 koku left. Toyotomi Hide really can't pat his chest and guarantee that he can beat the two families. Regarding this, is there any pragmatism?
Believe me, I just need Yi Qian Xiuzhong to express that attitude.
Toyotomi Hide naturally has no considerations of his own interests. Ieyasu, an old fox, has always been a fuel-efficient lamp. I have always acted according to the dishes. Historically, dealing with Hideyoshi was one way, and dealing with Hideyori was another way. Now I will deal with it.
Naturally, I have to change my clothes.
Xiuzhong of the Ming Dynasty felt a chill in his heart, knowing that he was inquiring about the movements of the minor names, so he replied: "The sea of Japan and the clear rivers all rely on the grace of Yuge's prestigious name."
Hidetaka immediately said: "Since the imperial court wishes to adjust the positions of the seven people, forgive Hidetaka for being bold. On behalf of my father, please ask the imperial palace to make it clear. Only in this way can the shogunate break the order."
Yi Qian Xiuzhong stood up, bowed deeply, and entered and exited the study. I knew in my heart that although there was a direct threat in the previous conversation, it was full of the will and power of the imperial palace. If Toyotomi Hideru wants to continue under my protection,
To prosper, you need to be an obedient chess piece under my chessboard.
Gao Pragmatic smiled slightly, seeming to be very satisfied with the answer, but he said casually: "Ieyasu seems to have no deep meaning in the arrangement of the 'Go Seven Family'. Haha, Ieyasu is far-sighted and admirable.
ah."
The Ming Dynasty Hidetada was obviously aware of the matter about Gao Pragmatic's plan to give us two questions about Ou Yu Guan Ling and Ozhou, but I might be able to guess a little. In that case, I would seize the right to appoint him first, which shows his politics.
Sensitivity is indeed wrong.
Moreover, what Xiuzhong of the Ming Dynasty said just now is false. At that time, the "Seven Imperial Families of the Ming Dynasty" were all members of the acting sect.
As Ming Dynasty Xiu Zhong came forward, Gao Pragmatic returned to the desk. I knew that the conversation had not achieved the expected effect.
Xiuzhong of the Ming Dynasty bowed deeply: "Xiu Zhong must have been entrusted by the Imperial Palace."
Of course, of course, in the final analysis, Yan'er can only inherit the Edo shogunate in the future, and I can also obtain the inheritance of the Tokugawa family, as well as the various crystal buildings that he will give me sooner or later - that is, Kyoka's business empire in Japan.
Hidetaka of the Ming Dynasty was startled, but then he understood the profound meaning of the low-level truth and replied cautiously: "Although Japan is big, it is also willing to follow Xiao Ming's light and shine on the seven seas and four wastes."
I took a deep breath to calm down my uneasy mood, and then I realized that my front and back were already soaked through.
Otherwise, you Xiao Ming, with millions of armored men and swords pointed at the same point, thousands of sails covering the sea, blocking the East Ocean. Thousands of Japanese corpses will be floating around, blood will flow in the pestle, lives will be ruined, and everything will come to an end... This is not what you want to see, and Mr. Ieyasu must be the same.
However."
In fact, it's just us. The nicknames given by Ieyasu to our vassals are not nicknames like "Seven Heavenly Kings of the Ming Dynasty". We also need to protect the interests and status of Yan'er. The principle is the same as that of a clan.
It sounds quite mean.
Since I stood up, Ming Dynasty Xiuzhong naturally also stood up and said seriously: "Xiuzhong understands. Yi Qianfu will, as always, do his best to realize Yuge's will in Japan."
Hidetaka of the Ming Dynasty felt tight in his heart, knowing that his pragmatic words were a blow to Yi Qianfu, and he hurriedly said: "Hidetaka understands that Toyotomi Hidetaka will guide Japanese ships and actually go against Xiao Ming's waterway, which will cause storms and waves."
If you know the bottom line, you can continue to fight. It's okay for General Tianling to leave 1.7 million shi. Anyway, Kawahide Tadayori will also have more than 1 million in the future, and the total will be enough to intimidate little names everywhere.
.
He smiled pragmatically and waved his hand to signal Hidetaka of the Ming Dynasty to come forward: "Hidetada, Hidetaka of the Ming Dynasty has understood his expectations for Toyotomi Hide. Go ahead. May your friendship, like the water of the East China Sea, never dry up."
Gao Pragmatic smiled slightly and seemed not to be satisfied with the answer: "Although the Haiyan River is clear, the undercurrents on the seabed are also unpredictable. You heard about Maori, Xiashan and other nicknames, and it seems that you are not satisfied with your next visit.
,Does Xiuzhong know about this?"
That was not the threat of Hong Guoguo. Yi Qian Hidetaka could naturally feel the weight of the humble words and immediately responded: "Toyotomi Hide will do his best to fulfill the will of the imperial pavilion. If it is not necessary, Toyotomi Hide will do his best."
If you come forward, no matter what means you use, you will ensure gross profit, and the Shiasugi family is committed to Xiao Ming."
Gao Pragmatic smiled slightly, and I knew that Ming Dynasty Hidetaka had not understood what I meant: "You have no intention of making appropriate adjustments to the positions of Yi Qian Zhengze and Tokugawa Family Clan to show recognition of our merits."
Xiu Zhong of the Ming Dynasty was moved in his heart. I knew that it was pragmatic and meant that the rewards for those two nicknames needed to be adjusted. Although my father later did not approve of our low pragmatic rewards, now that the imperial pavilion has changed his mind,
Yi Qianfu could only do as he was told - otherwise, what else could he do?
Xiuzhong of the Ming Dynasty, who had always had a careless and down-to-earth look, was very happy when he saw me smiling. I knew that the adjustment was probably to improve our political status, but that didn't matter, as long as it was to let Yi Qianfu out of his pocket.
Taking out territory to reward us is a good thing for Toyotomi Hide, and it may even be a bad opportunity to consolidate his power.
Gao Pragmatic nodded heavily and said in a slightly urgent tone: "Xiao Ming has always valued peace with Japan. However, to make money from peace, both parties need to work in the same direction."
