Chapter 836: Making something out of nothing, creating a card out of thin air

Hai Zhongshi is completely different from Hai Rui. Hai Zhongshi recognizes integrity as a virtue, but what is the use of integrity? The family was barely covered with nothing, and had nothing to leave anything for future generations, and it didn't even leave anything for the Ming Dynasty. It only left a monument in history.

In Hai Zhongshi's eyes, Hai Rui's moral nobleness is useless at all!

The contradiction between Hai Rui and Hai Zhongshi is not only a family conflict, but also reflects the structural contradiction between public and private when history turns.

Hai Rui insisted on the "public" is an idealized moral law and a moral noble;

The "private" pursued by the sea is a realistic choice driven by economic rationality and is driven by interests.

Who is right and who is wrong? It seems that there will be different answers from different standpoints.

Zhu Yijun doesn't like Hai Zhongshi and doesn't want to leave Hai Rui's legacy to this unfilial son. His father was bedridden for a long time. Hai Zhongshi takes advantage of Hai Rui's reputation and reputation to go around. Some yamen choose to turn a blind eye because of Hai Rui's great influence.

According to Xu Jue Rang Fanzi's visit, Hai Zhongshi was very close to Li Dan, Quanzhou Prefecture.

Li Dan, this Quanzhou Prefecture, was a famous merchant in the Ming Dynasty. He mainly deals in betel nut, Siamese rice, cotton, cotton cloth and other goods, which are all white goods.

In the past, Li Dan wanted to smuggle white goods, because the Ming Dynasty declared the goods too slowly and was full of personal pockets, which resulted in the actual tax rate far higher than the nominal tax rate, or even higher than the private market, which was expensive and troublesome, so many businessmen chose private markets.

Li Dan is indeed doing legal business now, but with the relationship between Hai Zhongshi, who knows whether Li Dan will do some illegal business? For example, opiates, ayahuasca, raw silk and other objects that the court strictly ordered.

Zhu Yijun chose to let the Qiongzhou Haishi choose a child with both moral character to come to Beijing. In this way, Hai Zhongshi and the newly inherited Hai Ruiye's children could not corrupt Hai Rui's reputation.

Hai Zhongshi was deprived of the inheritance of his family property by the emperor because of his destruction of Hai Rui's reputation. All the yamen also knew that the emperor did not allow others to corrupt Hai Rui's reputation, and using Hai Rui's reputation for money would not be convenient.

Hai Rui's reputation and morality are one of the most precious treasures of the Ming Dynasty, the concrete manifestation of the loyalty and kindness of the Han Dynasty, and the greatest mystery of the ancient land of the Central Plains.

The matter of Wang Qiansheng's transfer to the Censorate General Constitution was finally lost. The cabinet voted two to two, Zhang Juzheng and Shen Li opposed it, and Wang Chonggu and Zhang Xueyan agreed.

Zhang Juzheng opposed Wang Qian's role in several positions. Wang Qian could only receive one. If Wang Qian was willing to accept Yanxinglou, then it would be impossible to obtain the Censorate. Zhang Xueyan recognized Wang Qian's ability and felt that he could also receive the Censorate.

Shen Li believed that Wang Qian's virtue was a loss and could not convince the public. After all, the identity of a juren was indeed caused by cheating.

Wang Chonggu's approval was very surprising. Originally, Wang Qian had to avoid suspicion when he was promoted, but Wang Chonggu still posted a floating ticket under the flag of picking the wise but not avoiding his relatives.

The cabinet disagrees, so it was decided to go to the ministry's discussion. The Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites did not agree with Wang Qiansheng's transfer. In the end, the promotion of Wang Qian to the Constitution of the Censorate failed.

Of course, Wang Qian did not make the cabinet ministers, court officials and capital officials so ugly, nor did he make His Majesty embarrassed. He persisted for less than a day, gave up the luxury of promotion and resignation, and took the initiative to submit a refusal, so that everyone could step down and not argue endlessly about this matter.

In summary, in one sentence, he is not that important.

The affairs of the Constitution of the Censorate have entered the process of court promotion.

The cabinet quickly drafted three candidates and gave them to the emperor Zhu Pi. "I discovered an interesting thing. The ministers in the eyes of the cabinet ministers, the ministers in the eyes of me, and the ministers in the eyes of Jinyiwei and Dongchang Fanzi are completely three." Zhu Yijun checked the resumes of the three people and came to a conclusion.

Different perspectives on the problem will lead to different conclusions.

For example, the recommended first person is Xin Zixiu, the governor of Baoding. In the eyes of ministers, Xin Zixiu is definitely the best candidate. Xin Zixiu and Hai Rui are good friends. The two parties have frequent letters and correspondence. The person who can be recognized by Hai Rui is naturally not a slander.

But in the eyes of the factory guards, Xin Zixiu is very inappropriate and looks a bit unclean because he has a good relationship with all parties, has maintained close relationships with Qingliu, and has frequent contacts with wealthy families. The family said that Xin Zixiu is attached to the power and destroying the law, which is already a very serious accusation;

In the eyes of the emperor, Xin Zixiu cannot do the work of exorcising the power. The reason for not being able to do is Xin Zixiu. He is a good person and is the director of the Consortium of the Censorate. This is a more appropriate job of offending people.

Zhu Yijun looked at it for a long time and chose Lu Guangzu as the left censor, and asked Xin Zixiu to become the right censor.

Lu Guangzu, a person who really wants to make progress.

Lu Guangzu was a Jinshi in the 26th year of Jiajing and was on the same list as Zhang Juzheng. Lu Guangzu had a deep foundation and had a deep relationship with the Jin Party and the Zhang Party.

When Zhang Juzheng's father passed away, Lu Guangzu was also in the mood for his worries. The emperor asked Lu Guangzu to return to the court to serve and share some firepower against the robbery for Zhang Juzheng.

Lu Guangzu did not say anything, cursed a humble scholar in the Nanya who refused to let him recover. He happily returned to Beijing to serve as a minister of Dali Temple.

For the past eleven years, Lu Guangzu has never caused trouble for the emperor. The emperor wants to kill people and behead him. He can urge Wang Chonggu to give His Majesty a blank post to his Majesty, so that His Majesty can kill people reasonably, legally and in line with the process, rather than creating a yellow paper unjust case.

Lu Guangzu had very good reasons. His Majesty was very wise. He believed in His Majesty's self-control ability.

To oppose the blank cart post, we must first oppose His Majesty's wiseness, which has fallen into a logical circle where the emperor cannot make mistakes, which has caused a group of scholars and officials to call Lu Guangzu a vocal worm.

Overall, in the eyes of the ministers, Lu Guangzu was capable enough, but he was too flattering and was not suitable to be the Director of the Constitution in the Qinggui Yuan, the Qinggui Office. However, Daming did not have any suitable candidates at the moment. If there were, Hai Rui would not recommend Wang Qian in an extraordinary way.

The Ming Dynasty had to skip a group of people. From the 26th year of Jiajing to the 41st year of Jiajing, these people were not loyal enough and were not loyal to the emperor, the court, the dynasty and the people. The risks and potential threats of bringing these people to power are extremely great.

The appointment of Emperor Ming Dynasty surprised the cabinet, but the cabinet quickly passed the new appointment unanimously. After the discussion between the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites, there was no objection, so the matter was settled.

The Ministry of Rites did not object, nor could it be objected. Shen Li, the Shangguan and the cabinet master of the Ministry of Rites, have gone from bones to flattery. The eldest brother did not laugh at the second brother and opposed it on the grounds of Lu Guangzu's flattery. So would Shen Li also want to impeach it?

In this way, Lu Guangzu became the new Constitutional Constitution of the Censorate.

On the last day of May 16, the Ming Dynasty's opening inspection was held, that is, the Wine Festival. Before May had entered, the entire capital became lively in late April, and even the fragrance of wine was floating in the air.

At the same time, merchant ships departing from Songjiang Prefecture in early April also arrived at the Nagasaki Governor's Office. A large number of goods flowed to Japan, and represented countless Japanese slaves and Japanese women flowed to the Ming Dynasty and Nanyang.

In April, the trade winds changed, hundreds of boats competed for the current, and thousands of sails passed by. The busy sea trade in the Ming Dynasty began again. This kind of busyness could not even stop the manic and frequent Western Pacific hurricanes.

The Ming Dynasty sent the Japanese envoy Gao Qiyu, who had never been out of the welcoming hall during this period and had been negotiating peace talks with Toyoto Hideyoshi in Kyoto.

Any peace negotiation is protracted and will definitely be accompanied by each other's tests and confrontations to determine each other's strength. Generally speaking, what you cannot get on the battlefield can never be imagined at the negotiating table.

The exchanges between countries are based entirely on interests, not benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness. If you do not understand this, you will not be able to enter the Honglu Temple as a Han envoy in the Ming Dynasty.

Military victory can be effectively controlled. For example, during the negotiations, Toyotomi Hideyoshi would not seek a short-term control but was driven into the sea by the Ming Dynasty; Toyotomi Hideyoshi would not seek the ownership of Tsushima Island during the negotiations, because the Ming army actually occupied Tsushima Island.

This is the basic principle of general negotiations and the principle of effective control. Whoever takes over will belong to his family. Throughout history, there is no exception.

Of course, there are also accidents, such as betrayal. If the Ming Dynasty directly sold North Korea to Japan, the North Koreans would cry and call their parents, and Japan would probably wake up from laughing in their dreams.

This is possible. After all, Zhao Nanxing and others felt that the Ming Dynasty entered the war to the DPRK to fight was a time of tyranny, a time when the world was invaded and the world was in danger.

For example, Sima Guang advocated exchanging land for peace, and spent the last time of his life returning all the land that Wang Anshi had opened on the Xihe River to Xixia. The situation in Xixia, which was originally in danger, immediately stabilized.

The expansion of territory requires military victory, which seems to be a correct nonsense like having to have water in a fire hydrant.

But the Xixia people obtained four extremely important places in the military failure, Mizhizhai, which controlled the Wuding River Basin; Jialuzhai, an important ferry on the west bank of the Yellow River, which guarded the east defense line; Futuzhai, which controlled the Dali River passage; Anjiangzhai, which controlled the core camp fort of the Huanqing Road Defense Zone;

Xixia resurrected her soul from the verge of dying.

So Zhu Yijun was very alert to Zhao Nanxing and others. Even the fame of Jinshi had to be specially crossed out their names to prevent them from gaining power. These lowly scholars have no ability to do things, and bad things are easy.

Zhu Yijun has always killed the rude Confucian attitude, but he really has no excuse to kill. If he finds that one is exiled, it is best not to return to the court. "Da Honglu, isn't it a bit too much for us to do this?" After reading the negotiation conditions, Li Chengli felt that Gao Qiyu was no longer talking, but was making a fuss.

Gao Qiyu made something out of nothing and made a card out of thin air, asking Toyotomi Hideyoshi to go to the Ming Dynasty to see Your Majesty before he could obtain the title from the Ming Dynasty.

The reason was very sufficient. The Ming Dynasty was deceived by Oda Nobunaga and enthroned him as the king of Japan. After he gained a foothold, he immediately planned a major rebellion to invade Korea.

If Toyotomi Hideyoshi wants to obtain the title of the Ming Dynasty court, he will go to the Ming Dynasty capital to pay a visit. Otherwise, the Ming Dynasty will enthrone Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi will invade Korea again. How will the Ming Dynasty respond?

Everyone knows that when Toyotomi Hideyoshi goes to the Ming Dynasty, he will only die without a place to bury him. His Majesty never cherishes his reputation, and he doesn't care about the life or death of the Japanese.

If Toyotomi Hideyoshi can't go, he has to pay the price.

Gao Qiyu launched a creation out of nothing and took out a void card, which made Toyotomi Hideyoshi tired of dealing with it.

"Is it too much?" Gao Qiyu shook his head and said, "I didn't move their Japanese king to the Ming Dynasty. I was already very subtle and made the Japanese king sink into the sea on the way. I was too much. What's too much?"

Gao Qiyu's words surprised Li Chengli, and then he felt relieved. Gao Qiyu was a scholar, and it was natural for scholars to be so vicious.

The King of Japanese mentioned by Gao Qiyu is actually the emperor of Japan, also known as Yamashiro.

Before establishing the Nagasaki Governor's Office, the Ming Dynasty had zero understanding of the system and the role of the emperor in Japan. It was believed that the emperor of Japan was the monarch of Yamaki Kingdom, and the Muromachi shogun who was enthroned by the Ming Dynasty was the supreme ruler of Japan.

But after a very in-depth understanding, the establishment of the Nagasaki Governor's Office was clear that Yamachi-kun, the King of the Japanese, and the Emperor were actually one person, and the Emperor was the supreme ruler of Japan.

On the couch lying on the side, there was a guy who was so arrogant and called the emperor!

Since I learned that King of Wa and Yamashiro regard themselves as emperors in Japan, all the scholars and officials of the Ming Dynasty were like stinging. After checking the rituals, the Ministry of Rites found that at least since the Sui Dynasty, the King of Japanese had already begun to call himself emperor. For example, during the reign of Emperor Yang of Sui, there was a Japanese envoy named Ono Meizi (male, whose Chinese name was Su Yingao), who secretly wrote in his letter to the letter "Emperor East is respectful to Emperor Baixi".

Moving the King of the Japanese to the Ming Dynasty and then letting the King of the Japanese to sink into the sea was Gao Qiyu's previous plan, but considering the difficulty of implementation, he planned to talk about the situation.

Gao Qiyu looked at Kyoto outside the window and said with a frown: "The situation in Japan is very bad now. North Korea has lost 80,000 troops. The domestic population is lost, land abandoned, the gap between the rich and the poor has become more and more extreme, and the Pure Land is rampant."

"On the one hand, Japan is in a prosperous and prosperous state, and these port cities have never seemed to be affected by these wars; on the other hand, it is extremely poor. The narrow conflicts in many places that should have eased with population loss have not been eased."

"Differences, divisions, oppositions and eliminations, Japan is eliminating Japan."

"Your Majesty asks, Oda Nobunaga has self-destructed? I don't know, but probably it is."

Li Chengli asked curiously: "If the Great Honglu is the prime minister of Japan, is there any good way?"

Gao Qiyu nodded and said: "Yes, one, invade Korea and the Ming Dynasty again, and win it in the battle. In this way, all internal conflicts in Japan will be greatly alleviated with the victory of the war. After all, external expansion has obtained enough population, land, and wealth;"

"Second, close the country and live your life behind closed doors."

These are two prescriptions that Gao Qiyu prescribed to Japan. It is difficult to invade, and the Ming Dynasty's weapons and training formed a huge generation gap. This is a good idea to keep the country in a closed door.

As long as one of these two methods is successful, Japan can completely get rid of these difficult situations and be reborn from the ashes.

But if it cannot be implemented, the Ming Dynasty did not allow Japan to stay in the country. In addition to mining the silver mines in Japan, the Ming Dynasty also had to mine human mines and close the country. How could the Ming Dynasty mine human mines?

The cheap and inferior firearms, textiles, porcelain, tea, pen, ink, paper and inkstones of the Ming Dynasty poured into Japan, and this was the journey;

The Japanese daimyo provided enough silver. If the silver was insufficient, they would provide Japanese slaves and Japanese girls to exchange for these goods. These Japanese slaves and Japanese girls would be transported to the plantations in Nanyang, which was the middle way;

The plantations produced agricultural products such as sugar, rubber, tobacco, palm oil, and mineral raw materials such as gold, silver, copper and iron, and returned to the Ming Dynasty, which was the journey.

The triangular trade cycle of departure, middle and return has been completely established.

Even if the Emperor of Ming Dynasty discovered his conscience that he had closed the Nagasaki Governor's Office and allowed Japan to close the country, Japan could not close the country. It had formed a circular trade route, and it was difficult for His Majesty to destroy it. This was driven by the power of profit.

Even if the law does not allow it, someone will do it secretly.

The widespread brokerage compradors in Japan have accelerated the cycle of trade in this triangle.

These brokerage compradors and the daimyos behind them are the biggest consumers of the Ming merchants' journey, and are one of the reasons why the Japanese slaves and Japanese girls were born in Zhongcheng. Japan is really too miserable, so hard that it would rather be a slave or a Nanyang sister than escape from this hell.

There are four reasons for the emergence of Japanese slaves, namely war, punishment, superstition, and famine. The Japanese brokerage compradors expanded the impact of these four reasons.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi could not refuse the Ming Dynasty's request at all. He could neither win military force nor the Ming Dynasty cooperated with him. He recovered the lost territory of Takama Island in the event of military failure, and he could not keep the country in a closed door. He now needs the Ming Dynasty's enthronement to stabilize his position.

How to obtain the title of the Ming Dynasty without going to the Ming Dynasty became Toyotomi Hideyoshi's top problem.

Gao Qiyu said to Li Chengli: "When you are famine, when you are at the end of your journey, you will mortgage yourself to exchange for food. Especially the traditional Japanese family concept, which has not been completely disintegrated by the Pure Land Buddhism, makes this phenomenon more common."

"When the family is facing crisis, a member of the family will stand up and sell himself to the person with the highest bidder, willing to go anywhere or accept any identity. Only in this way can they bring their parents to the one who has the highest bidder. Only in this way can they be willing to go anywhere or accept any identity. Only in this way can they bring their parents or other relatives were rescued from danger. "

" And these Japanese slaves born with the belief of sacrifice believed that all their sacrifices were worth it because their parents, wives and children obtained food."

"But when Japan collapsed completely, selling the food it received would usually return to the pockets of the meat eaters in various ways. This sacrifice became meaningless, which undoubtedly accelerated the spread of the Pure Land religion in Japan."

"The meat eaters of Japan's shogunate, ministers, daimyo, comprador economy can see clearly that they stand much higher than the poor man and have a very clear understanding of the problem, but they do not stop it. Instead, they indulge in this kind of thing because they have to maintain their status and gain benefits at the same time."

"So, in addition to invading North Korea again and closing abroad, Japan actually has another way out, that is, if kings, princes, generals and ministers are willing to have a sect, rise up."

Gao Qiyu prescribed the third prescription, rise up, this is the only feasible way for Japan to be able to rebirth. The eggs are broken from the inside and usher in a new life.

The only one who can save himself is himself, which is the lesson learned from thousands of years of history.

"Hiss, Great Honglu, what if the Japanese really rise up?" Li Chengli immediately became alert. He sympathized with the experience of the Japanese, but he did not intend to interfere with the business of Japanese slaves. Li Chengli was even more alert to the birth of a united, new and more consensus-based Japanese country!

This is not in the interests of the Ming Dynasty.

"Isn't this the meaning of the existence of Toyotomi Hideyoshi?" Gao Qiyu's mouth brought a dark smile.

Li Chengli couldn't help but tremble, and immediately stood up and said, "I'll go to inspect the defense of Yingen Hall!"

"What are you going? Come back and have a chat!" Gao Qiyu said hurriedly when he saw Li Chengli leaving. "Your Majesty said: Don't let us martial artists learn bad things from you scholars!" Li Chengli left hurriedly without looking back, and made up his mind that if he could not talk to Gao Qiyu, he would not speak.

He couldn't quite understand why Gao Qiyu recognized Toyotomi Hideyoshi's rule, and Gao Qiyu even planned to seek a king's title for Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

When Li Chengli understood Gao Qiyu's plan and even his bones were trembling, His Majesty was right, these scholars read too many books.

Sustaining Toyotomi Hideyoshi's rule in Japan was to completely lock down the path of Japan's resurrection through revival, leaving Japan in a semi-colonial and semi-feudal purgatory.

What made Li Chengli's scalp most numb was that during the entire peace talks, Gao Qiyu always stood at the moral commanding heights and he did not do anything bad. "Oh, just chat a few more." Gao Qiyu smiled and continued to deal with various pond newspapers. He wanted to find clues from the pond newspapers and grasp the overall direction of peace talks.

Gao Qiyu looked at the Tangbao in front of him, looked surprised, and then smiled. In terms of the current situation, all Toyotomi Hideyoshi could do was to cut his flesh and promise the conditions for Emperor Ming to station troops in the mine.

As the monsoon changed in April, the Ming navy immediately became extremely active, and the Ming army's attack began.

And the Ming army attacked everywhere without any hidden dangers, because the Japanese pirates on Tsuma Island had completely turned into Japanese slaves and sent to Nagasaki.

The Koreans hated the Japanese pirates to the core. Now the Koreans have very good skills. It only takes three minutes to pick a pair of bells. Even the Ming army did not need to take action to catch people. The Korean army led by Lee Sun-chen arrested people all over the mountains.

The person who grabs the knife just keeps the knife, and the others lift the Japanese onto the fixing frame and fix it.

The knife-grabbing man pulled his pants, slashed his knife, squeezed his bell, twisted his bell a few times, and then cut off the bells and fell down accordingly. He tied a knot, applied some iodine, and cut it out for three days. He pushed it gently and said that he would be the next one. It was forbidden to eat water for three days, and a brand new Japanese slave who had no secular desires would leave the factory.

A knife grabber can knock five hundred times a day, and the operation of assembly lines has a survival rate of more than 98%. There are also times when there are mistakes, but no one cares.

This efficiency allowed the Ming Dynasty to complete the cleaning of Tsushima Island as soon as possible, and then migrated to Dingkou from Shandong and North Korea respectively, leading Japanese slaves to reclaim land, build roads and build ports on Tsushima Island.

Shen Li, Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, advocated: The Han people are not as rich as the vast desert and thousands of borders, but they are still a barbarian field. The speed of the kingdom of the Horse Island is even faster than that of Suiyuan.

Every time the Japanese slaves went to Womagang through Guihua City and went to the Xianbei Leaf prairie to plant potatoes, the Sanniangzi would organize border residents, Hu people, and ten thousand households from the past to see the Japanese slaves' migration.

The third lady repeatedly told these ten thousand households: No matter what, don’t be a thief, don’t anger Your Majesty, look at these Japanese slaves! The Ming Dynasty had some methods for Wang Huasuiyuan, but the reason why he did not do it was because His Majesty was good!

On April 24, 16th year of Wanli, Nagato City controlled by the Japanese daimyo Mori Hiromoto was attacked by the Ming army and fell the next day.

According to the frontline battle report, on the same day, tens of thousands of divine fire crows soared into the sky and fell into Changmen City, exploding with a bang.

The Japanese had never seen such a scene before. They shouted at Tianhuo and fled from Nagato.

Maori Huiyuan was already the best-preserved daimyo after invading North Korea. He did not survive for a day in the hands of the Ming army.

Qi Jiguang was also very surprised at the power of the Divine Fire Flying Crow. He was actually not particularly interested in this kind of firearm with a long range but relatively small power. This batch of Divine Fire Flying Crow was also sent to the front line by the Gewu Academy for verification and testing, mainly to verify stability.

The power of this thing, as Qi Jiguang expected, was actually very ordinary. The explosion was sprinkled with phosphorus, which ignited all the wooden buildings in Changmen City, which made it seem too loud.

This thing hit morale beyond everyone's expectations, including the Japanese.

The fall of Changmen City completely destroyed the Japanese's determination to resist to the death, and the entire Japanese country was completely in panic.

Before the Japanese resist, they must think about a question: How many Divine Fire Flying Crows were there in the Ming Dynasty?

"Great Master, Toyotomi Hideyoshi sent an envoy to hand over the letter of surrender." Admiral Huang Bin walked into Gao Qiyu's room with a smile on his face and placed a book of surrender in front of Gao Qiyu. Regarding the mining rights that the Ming Dynasty was most concerned about, Toyotomi Hideyoshi agreed to the Ming Dynasty's garrison.

Gao Qiyu picked up the surrender book, read it for a long time, and said with a smile: "It's very interesting. Now it's probably not enough to hand over the mining rights. Toyotomi Hideyoshi has to hand over all the Japanese kings."

Gao Qiyu's lion spoke up, continued to create chips and put extreme pressure on them, and exchanged as much benefits as possible. Toyotomi Hideyoshi was born in an extremely humble family and was a poor farmer. In order to establish authority and obtain the status of Taigao Guanbai, Toyotomi Hideyoshi had great respect for the Emperor and was treated very well in exchange for Toyotomi's surname.

It is impossible for Toyotomi Hideyoshi to hand over the Emperor to the Ming Dynasty, so this is another extreme pressure.

"What do the Great Honglu want this time?" Huang Bin asked curiously.

Gao Qiyu said with great certainty: "Of course it is a fee to help the military. The Ming garrison helps them defend the mines. It is not natural for them to pay military salaries?"

The Ming Dynasty wanted this emperor to be useless, wasted food, and had future troubles. It would be better to have real benefits. Even if Toyotomi Hideyoshi respected the King of the Japanese Emperor, it was out of need. He did not take the King of the Japanese seriously. He put a little pressure on the extreme and tried to get more benefits. This was the purpose of Gao Qiyu's trip.

He was unwilling to stay in such an uncivilized place. What kind of emperor is he? He wanted to go back to become Ming Gong and make progress.
