However, the trade relations between China and Japan will still slowly recover, but Shang Yi will leave Japan at this time.
Before leaving Japan, Toyotomi Kaoru also proposed to his mother that he would take her to China to raise her, but as Shang Yi expected, Tokugawa Chihime did not want to leave Japan, so she declined Toyotomi Kaoru's request, but Tokugawa Qianji also promised that if conditions are suitable in the future, she will live in China for a period of time.
In fact, Toyotomi Kaoru was mentally prepared for her mother's rejection, just because she also knew that after parting with her mother this time, there would not be many opportunities to see her again, so she hoped that her mother would live in China, and she would not have agreed to it before. It was possible to live in China for a period of time, which would have already achieved his goal. Of course, Kaoru Toyotomi also knew that his mother was still worried about the situation of the Tokugawa clan, and would wait and see for a while to see if the Tokugawa clan was withdrawn. Whether the feudal vassal can be stabilized or not, now is indeed not a good time to take my mother to China.
Fortunately, Tokugawa Chihime became a monk in Edo, and Edo is now under the direct jurisdiction of the Toyotomi shogunate. Therefore, Toyotomi Kaoru also asked the acting minister of the Toyotomi shogunate to take good care of her mother's daily life, and at the same time, she also learned from Toyotomi. The shogunate used 10,000 koku from its annual income as mother's annual living expenses. After the demise of the Tokugawa shogunate, the 10,000 koku that Tokugawa Chiki received from the Tokugawa shogunate each year was no longer available. Toyotomi Kaoru naturally had to pay for her mother's living expenses. The income of the Toyotomi shogunate was used for mother's living expenses.
Tokugawa Chihime did not refuse the living expenses, but she did not ask for that much, leaving only 600 koku. After all, this much was enough for her to live alone, which was almost the income of a middle-level samurai.
In terms of official business, Shang Yi also wanted to say goodbye to the Japanese Emperor Shao Ren and other daimyo. But at this time, news came from the palace that Shao Ren fell ill.
It turns out that Shao Ren was a person with a relatively tough personality, but he was forced to sign an unequal treaty with China, and watched as China gradually took control of Japan through the enfeoffment of daimyo. However, China is a more powerful country than the Tokugawa shogunate. For such a powerful existence, Shaoren also felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart. Therefore, the more Shaoren thought about it, the more angry he became, and he fell ill all of a sudden.
Therefore, when Shang Yi left Japan, he personally went to the palace to check on Shao Ren's condition. Of course, after seeing Shao Ren's condition, Shang Yi also showed great concern, and at the same time, he asked his accompanying imperial doctor to treat Shao Ren. Diagnose pulse.
After feeling his pulse, the imperial doctor said that Shao Ren's illness was caused by excessive anxiety and excessive liver fire. As long as he calmed down and rested for a period of time, everything would be fine. Therefore, Shang Yi repeatedly urged Shao Ren to be patient. I need to take good care of my health. After I recover, I would like to invite Shao Ren to visit China and make further contributions to the friendship between China and Japan.
As a result, after Shang Yi left the palace, Shao Ren's illness worsened again and he vomited blood that night. On the next day, he could only ask the Supreme Emperor Zheng Ren to come forward for him and see off Shang Yi and others. From then on, Shao Ren Jinja had been suffering from illness, with good and bad spells. It took two years, but he finally became ill and died in 1654. He was succeeded by his younger brother, Yoshihito, the eighth prince of Emperor Gomizuo. At that time, the Chinese Empire was still Special envoys were sent to Japan to pay homage, and they brought Shang Yi's greetings. More than 20 small Southeast Asian countries, including those that had been conquered by the Chinese Empire at that time, also sent envoys to Japan to pay homage. Therefore, Shao Ren's funeral It was done very beautifully.
Of course, this happened two years later. Shang Yi still doesn’t know. After saying goodbye to everyone in Japan, he boarded the ship and set off. He first arrived at Kyushu Island for inspection, and then made a special trip to the Rinkai Pavilion by the Shimonoseki Strait to rest for a night. Of course
Soaked in the hot spring again.
The lord of the Choshu Domain, Mouri Hirotsuna, saw that Shogi loved the Rinkai Pavilion very much. Although the Rinkai Pavilion was on Honshu Island, he simply transferred the Rinkai Pavilion and some nearby land to China. After all, this time the Choshu Domain
The fiefdom suddenly increased by 200,000 shi, Maoli Guang
Tsuna is very grateful to China. On the other hand, although Mouri Hirotsuna also knows that China has cut off Kyushu, the Choshu clan is now tied to China, so it is still necessary to try to maintain a good relationship with China.
A few acres of land, of course, is not a problem.
Faced with Mouri Hirotsuna's kindness, Shang Yi of course happily accepted it, and at the same time decided to rename Linkai Pavilion to Chunfan Tower as a residence of Kyushu Island on Honshu Island.
The next day, Shang Yi and his party crossed the Shimonoseki Strait and arrived at Kyushu Island. At this time, the major figures in Kyushu Island were busy cleaning up their properties and moving out of Kyushu one after another to settle in their new fiefdoms.
The Ninth Army of the Chinese Army also evacuated from other parts of Japan and stationed on Kyushu Island, taking over the management of various places on Kyushu Island and establishing local administrative agencies.
Shang Yi stayed on Kyushu Island for three days and made arrangements for the garrison and administrative affairs of Kyushu Island. At the same time, the food, materials, gold and silver money, etc. obtained by the Chinese army from all over Japan were also transported to Kyushu Island for storage.
During this period, Shang Yi
I received letters from China again, this time they were all happy. At the end of September and the beginning of October, Ye Yaoyao and Zi Linglong both gave birth to a boy. After the birth, both mother and child were safe. Of course, the cabinet minister also invited me again.
Shang Yi returned home as soon as possible.
After receiving the news, Shang Yi was also very happy. After all, he had two more children. Counting that he now had four sons and three daughters, the number of children was quite large. Then Shang Yi immediately issued an order to the country to let
Domestic dispatch cargo ships as soon as possible to carry materials, money, silver and other items, and order them to enter
He was responsible for escorting him, because this was the result of Guan Shi's war. But at the same time, Shang Yi also informed the cabinet that he would first go to Nanyang for inspection before returning to China. Therefore, he asked the cabinet to worry more about domestic affairs.
, and after Ye Yaoyao gave birth, she took her to take charge of the country's affairs.
In fact, it is a very normal thing for the emperor to inspect the land. It has happened in all dynasties. In many cases, it is also a symbol of the emperor going to various places to observe the people's sentiments and customs and to fulfill the emperor's responsibilities. However, the cabinet received a reply from Shang Yi.
After receiving the order, I also knew that Shang Yi was not going to patrol Nanyang at all.
Instead, he planned to go to Luzon to participate in the battle against the Netherlands, so he found such an excuse. But now Shang Yi is outside. He doesn't want to come back. People in the country can't do anything about him, and the members of the cabinet are also a little funny.
In past dynasties, it has been said that when generals are away, the king does not grant orders, but now it is the reverse.
However, after the Congress learned that Shang Yi planned to tour Nanyang, some members immediately submitted a bill asking the cabinet to once again urge the emperor to return to the country to rule as soon as possible. Moreover, this bill was passed almost unanimously, including all departments of the cabinet, privately
Everyone thinks that
After the cabinet received this resolution, they all smiled bitterly. What was the use of urging Shang Yi? He just didn't want to come back. What could anyone do? However, the resolution of the Congress had to be implemented. Therefore, the cabinet meeting adjourned and Wang Fuzhi He and Li Yan also brought the resolution of the Congress to the palace to see Queen Ye Yaojia. Because Ye Yaojia is now acting as the agent of state affairs, such things should naturally be made known to her, and they must be approved by her before they can be officially implemented. , after all, Ye Yaoqi still has the power to exercise veto power as an agent.
After reading the resolution of the Congress, Ye Yaoyao couldn't help but laugh and said: "You two adults are so desperate. Since this is the resolution of the Congress, of course I will not stop it, and I will not stop it again. I would like to add a small amount and ask the emperor to return to the country as soon as possible."
After Wang Fuzhi and Li Yan heard this, they both breathed a sigh of relief. Ye Yaoyao is indeed a very politically intelligent person. In fact, even if Shang Yi is not in the country now, with the current structure, the domestic administrative agencies can still operate normally. Although it is definitely not a good thing for a king of a country to be absent from the country for a long time, Shang Yi has only been out for more than three months, which is not a long time. However, the prime minister and the queen must also make a gesture at this time. Come here, domestic officials should be properly explained to the Congress, otherwise the work behind the cabinet will be difficult to carry out.
Ye Yaojiao obviously understood this, so he not only approved the resolution of the Congress, but also personally added a note to persuade Shang Yi to return to the country. This would make sense to Congress and other officials. As for Shang Yi seeing it After the resignation of the cabinet, whether he is willing to come back or not is none of the cabinet's business. Anyway, the cabinet has fulfilled its obligations.
At this time, Ye Yaojiu said again: "Master Wang, Master Li, although it is still a big deal to persuade the emperor to return to the country, but even if the emperor returns to the country immediately after becoming estranged, it will not happen overnight. The emperor is not in the country now, and All state affairs are entrusted to the cabinet. Both of you are old ministers who have followed the emperor for many years. At this time, you should do your best to manage the state affairs well. You must not neglect government affairs just because the emperor is not in the court."
Wang Fuzhi and Li Yan hurriedly said: "Please don't worry, Madam. I will definitely do my duty and not let the country go to waste."
Ye Yaojiao nodded and said: "Actually, I can rest assured of the loyalty and integrity of the two adults. However, officials from various cabinet departments and the National Assembly, although it is still a major matter to persuade the emperor to return to the country as soon as possible, but All work must not be delayed, so you two adults should supervise other officials and not slack off, and all work must not be neglected, otherwise we may not be able to face the emperor when he returns."
Ye Yaojia's worry is not unreasonable. This situation happened in the Ming Dynasty. The emperor did nothing, and the ministers put all their energy into dissuading the emperor from doing nothing. In the end, they failed to do anything, and finally made political affairs a mess.
The king's husband said: "My dear, please rest assured. I will do my best to supervise all officials and will never miss the government affairs.
