Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 295
"From Dongying Kingdom... what is it?" Hearing the long string of names that this guy reported like the names of dishes, the three Zhu brothers were a little confused for a while.Zhu Su wanted to call him Pingshen, but for a while, he didn't know what to call him.

Fortunately, Gao Qitong knew the way of it, and explained in a low voice: "Your Highness, the 'Fujiwara family' mentioned by this person is his surname. 'Eagle Division' is his family name, and 'Shao Nayan' is His official position in the Japanese country of Japan, 'Xinping' is the name of this person."

"You can call it 'Fujiwara Shinpei' or 'Eagle Division Shinpei'."

"...Then just report your name and it will be over. You have talked so long." Zhu Xi muttered in a low voice, and Zhu Su and Zhu Di nodded secretly, and they also felt the same.

"Fujiwara Shinpei, right?" Zhu Su patted the folding fan in his hand, while looking at this so-called "high-ranking envoy of the Japanese country".Although this person is short in stature like other Japanese pirates, he is thin and thin, with pale skin, and his teeth are stained black as if he had no teeth.It really doesn't look like going to sea to plunder to make a living.The white robe on his body may be wrinkled and dirty because of being captured, but if someone needs to draw a sword to fight frequently, he will definitely not wear such a robe that is not conducive to action.

"You said that you are the Japanese envoy to Ming Dynasty? Do you have credentials?" Zhu Su asked.

"This... His Royal Highness Shangguo, please report. The servants do have the credentials, but...but when they were robbed by the Oitian thieves, the credentials were also included..." Fujiwara Shinpei's eyes wandered.

Zhu Su frowned slightly. At this moment, Yao Guangxiao, who had been standing behind him, whispered something to Zhu Su.Zhu Su laughed angrily after hearing this: "The thief is so brave. How dare you deceive me!"

"The suspect army that Da Jingtian left outside the city was led by you, right? If you were really his prisoner, why did he let you lead the army?"

Fujiwara Shinpei trembled, quickly lowered his head and kowtowed heavily to Zhu Su: "Your Highness, spare your life, Your Highness, spare your life! This subject is not lying! Although this subject is not an envoy, he is indeed an official under the Emperor! I am from the Fujiwara family They are all in important positions, and that lord knows about the official system of our country, so he must be clear about it!"

"Furthermore! Although I am not an envoy, I do know where the family members of the Japanese pirates and the looted property are hidden! I am willing to lead the Master of Ming Dynasty to collect the treasure!"

"He's right." Gao Qi nodded. "Your Highness, the surname Fujiwara is indeed a common surname in the Japanese court. His family has held high positions in the Japanese country for generations. Among the Japanese envoys to China in the past dynasties, there are also many surnamed Fujiwara."

"If that's the case, why do you pretend to be an envoy as an official of the Japanese court? And why are you colluding with the Ojingida clan?" Zhu Su didn't have much interest in the so-called Japanese pirates' property.How many treasures can there be if you are alone overseas?
Fujiwara Shinpei made a flattering smile: "Please forgive me, Your Highness Shangguo. At that time, the general was going to kill his subordinates, and the subordinates had to pretend to be envoys..." He said and looked at Cao Yuan, who was glaring at him from the other side .

"As for why he fell under Ojingda's subordinates, it still needs to start from the encounter with traitors in our country a few years ago..."

Immediately afterwards, this Fujiwara Shinpei explained how he fell into the hands of Mr. Oida, and explained clearly to Zhu Su and the others.It turned out that a few years ago, the "Northern and Southern Dynasties" of the Wa Kingdom split, and the power minister Ashikaga Takashi invaded Kyoto, forcing the Emperor to flee south and establishing himself as the shogun.On that day, a fire broke out in Kyoto, and most of the courtiers loyal to the emperor chose to flee from Beijing to avoid being killed by Ashikaga Takashi.

"The minister escaped from Kyoto at that time. After hiding for some time, he wanted to take a sea boat to the south to meet the emperor of our country, but he didn't want to meet the depraved Oida family."

"Fortunately, the Ojinga family was born as a samurai, and he still has a certain respect for our Fujiwara family. Although he won't let me leave, he doesn't dare to kill me... Therefore, the subordinates had no choice but to commit themselves to this thieves, in order to One life..." Speaking of the pain, Fujiwara Shinpei burst into tears.

It was also the first time for Gao Qi to hear that the Wa kingdom had split into north and south, so he couldn't tell whether what he said was true or false.Zhu Su changed his mind, and said in surprise, "You said, you are a close minister of Emperor Go-Daigo?"

"How does Your Highness know the name of the emperor of our country!" Fujiwara Shinpei was surprised.

Not only Fujiwara Shinpei, but also everyone present were inexplicably surprised.Zhu Di asked strangely: "Isn't the king of the Wa Kingdom Huailiang? What is this King Houdaigo?"

In the fourth year of Hongwu, the envoys of the Japanese State condemned the envoys to write the letter, using the name "Huailiang", so Zhu Di asked this question.

"Then Huailiang is just a prince of the Wa Kingdom, who used the name of the King of the Wa Kingdom to fool us. Not only that, but that Ashikaga Takashi also pretended to be the king of the Wa Kingdom. In the final analysis, he just wanted to use my Ming Dynasty's tributary system to defraud us. .” Zhu Su explained.

"What! How dare you lie to me, Daming!" Zhu Di was furious. "Crazy against a small country! This king will conquer it himself!"

Zhu Suxin said that there would be a chance, but he persuaded him: "Fourth brother, don't be impulsive. I am a country of great etiquette. I have to convince people with virtue. Do you understand with virtue?" Turning his head and asking Fujiwara Shinpei: "You Japanese The current emperor...is called Emperor Changqing? The one in the north is called Emperor Guangyan, right?"

"What kind of bullshit the emperor... What a big tone!" Zhu Xi was also aggrieved when he heard it.

"Yes, yes." Seeing that Zhu Di and Zhu Xi were angry, the so-called Fujiwara Shinpei didn't dare to say more, for fear that the two of them would turn their anger on him.He smiled obsequiously at Zhu Su and said, "Your Highness is so knowledgeable that he even knows the affairs of my foreign country so clearly."

He didn't expect Zhu Su to know the situation of the Wa country so well, and he wanted to speak out to coax him, but now he dared not speak up.

Zhu Suxin said that he knows himself and the enemy, and he doesn't know much about the history of the Wa Kingdom, but the opportunity missed by Da Ming in the early Ming Dynasty is generally clear.And now it’s not just me, Lao Zhu has also known about the civil strife in the Wa country for a long time, and he likes to look at the picture of Kunyu Wanguo hanging on the Jinshen Hall, and staring at the gold, mountains and silver in the Wa country on the map. Mine is drooling!

Ever since he presented Lao Zhu with the strategy of suppressing the Japanese that day, he and Lao Zhu have been thinking about whether there is any chance for Da Ming to meddle in the internal affairs of Japan in a legitimate way... At this time, a close minister of the Japanese Emperor was caught, Zhu Su could only sigh with emotion that just as he dozed off, God sent him a pillow.

"Maybe the king understands it." Zhu Su coughed and stood up. "Fujiwara Shinpei, although you have lied to me as an envoy to deceive this king, but because you are an official of the Japanese kingdom and are willing to lead my master of the Ming Dynasty to collect the Japanese pirates' hidden funds, this king has decided to spare you a life."

"Thank you, Your Highness! Thank you, Your Highness!" Fujiwara Shinpei was overjoyed.

"Cao Yuan, find him a place to live. You don't need to restrict his movements, but you must always 'guard' him when he goes in and out on weekdays." Zhu Su ordered.

"Yes!" Cao Yuan cupped his fists and accepted the order.
