Chapter 353: The Wicked Emperor of the Japanese Country
The sea, the gathering place of hundreds of rivers, has a mind that embraces all things. All dirty and pure things are the same to it. The sea has a very powerful self-purification ability. Under the agitation of the waves, the blood of the Japanese is quickly washed away.
, the calm sea in front of me is as if there has never been a war.
But there are still Japanese desperate howls on the debris floating on the sea...
Cai Boyi returned to the high bridge. Xia Song was leisurely tasting tea. Cai Boyi glanced at the tea bag with the Cai Ji logo and curled his lips disdainfully. Recently, Xia Song, an old man, has become more and more inappropriate with the goods on the ship.
Something's happened.
Sitting on the seat next to him, Cai Boli poured himself a cup of hot tea, which was considered a rarity at sea.
"Old man, do you think there will be more Japanese chasing after you?"
Xia Song said proudly: "Wherever Master Wang goes, the enemy chiefs are invincible!"
Cai Boyi pointed outside the cabin: "There are still corpses floating on the sea. Is this called being invincible? Have we gone too far? After all, sending troops to occupy the silver mines is considered to be a direct robbery..."
Xia Song shook the yellow paper in his hand and sneered: "What kind of robbery is this? I have in my hand an edict from the Japanese emperor!"
The corners of Cai Bo's mouth twitched, and the dark red mark on the bright yellow edict looked particularly ferocious. He, Cai Bo, never imagined that in front of the Japanese emperor, the old man Xia Song actually dared to directly threaten the Japanese emperor and use his own blood as a red seal. This
Even my daring self cannot do it.
"After all, he is the emperor of the Japanese country, and he is respected as the emperor by the people of the Japanese country..."
Before Cai Boyi could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xia Song: "What kind of emperor is he worthy of?! In a small country, a small country with few people, how can the title of sitting in a well and looking at the world be taken seriously? I didn't tear up his credentials on the spot. That's enough.
You are so polite, you actually call yourself the Emperor of the Land of the Rising Sun. The officials of the Song Dynasty were the masters of the Kingdom of Heaven, but he actually became the Emperor of the Land of the Setting Sun. It is really unreasonable!"
Cai Boyi shook his head helplessly. He was a businessman, and the nature of a businessman is to be friendly and make money. However, Xia Song's series of diplomatic actions made him very passive: "It was your rude actions that caused the death and injury of our Song Dynasty soldiers."
There are dozens of people, otherwise we wouldn’t be in such a mess!”
Xia Song suddenly drank: "They died for the glory of the Song Dynasty, and they also gave a shock to the Japanese country. Mr. Cai, remember, you can never give in in front of the foreign countries at any time. The more they give in, the more unbridled they will be."
, All within the four seas are the king's land, and outside the eight wastelands are also the subjects, and everyone in the world worships and obeys!"
Cai Boyi nodded slightly. He could feel Xia Song's persistence in the dignity of the Song Dynasty. This was the persistence of a scholar-bureaucrat.
Looking at the edict confirming the imperial seal of the Japanese emperor, Cai Boyi suddenly felt much better. The three silver mines were transferred to the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty only paid for the long-term transportation of goods to the Japanese royal family. This was simply worse than
The robbers were ruthless.
The main reason why the fleet was attacked was because the words of the Japanese emperor were not that effective in the Japanese country. A minister actually controlled the government. In such a country, what kind of superiority could there be?
Xia Song looked down upon Fujiwara Michinaga, the powerful minister of Guanbai. Even though his power was equal to that of the emperor, Xia Song still looked down on him. The mission of scholar-bureaucrats is to assist the king. This has been a Confucian thought for thousands of years.
, is also etiquette.
If you don't know etiquette, how are you different from animals?
A noble minister can actually say the words "This world is my world, just like the full moon", he should be punished for his crime!
What is even more difficult for Xia Song to understand is that Fujiwara Michichiro, the powerful Minister of Guanbai, is actually a relative of a foreigner. He has three daughters in a family and all three daughters are queens. Such a person would have been firmly regarded in the Song Dynasty.
In Japan, no power will be given to him at all, but in Japan he has become the official in charge of government affairs!
Thinking of Guan Bai's title Xia Song, he laughed inexplicably. Cai Boqi asked strangely: "Old man, why are you laughing?"
"I suddenly remembered a joke, Mr. Cai, you are the consort, do you know the origin of Guan Bai in the Japanese country?"
Cai Boli thought for a while and said: "This kid has been reading with officials since he was a child. He has dabbled in many historical books, but he has never heard of the word Guan Bai."
Xia Song laughed loudly and said: "You must have never heard of it. The word "Guan Bai" is actually used in a sentence. The Japanese took it out of context. The "Book of Han" says: "Everything must be done before Guan Bai Guang"
, and then report to the emperor. The word "Guanbai" actually means "report," but it is used by the Japanese as a title for the prime minister. It is really a big joke in the world!"
Cai Boyi suddenly realized that no wonder he had never heard of such a strange name. It turned out that the Japanese took it out of context. This sentence was also the Hanshu pointing out that the regent Huo Guang had the power to abolish the emperor. The Japanese government and the opposition were really ignorant!
"Then when we return to Song Dynasty, we can tell this joke in front of Mr. Ding!"
Xia Chang puffed out the tea party and pointed at Cai Bo and said angrily: "If you dare to say this in front of me, I will definitely not spare you. You and I can just joke about it again. After all, the Japanese country is a Song Dynasty country.
Is it the etiquette of a superior state for the king and his ministers of a foreign country to enjoy themselves?"
Cai Boyi rolled his eyes: "You still threaten the emperors of other countries!"
Xia Song shook his head slightly and said: "This is different..." He looked at the quiet surroundings, turned to Cai Boqi and whispered: "Actually, the Emperor of Japan was planning to agree, and these three silver mines are just a deposit. If it comes to fruition,
There is also a gold mine..."
"What?!"
Cai Boqi screamed and jumped up. What's the deposit, and why is there a gold mine? Is there something he doesn't know about, or is there some agreement between Xia Song and the Japanese emperor?
Xia Song glanced at Cai Boqi: "Even the most cowardly emperor is still an emperor. How could the Japanese emperor endure the humiliation of his subordinates? What's more, Fujiwara Michio has done what Ihuo did! It's not like you haven't seen the Japanese Guan Bai,
They are simply acting as herdsmen on behalf of the emperor. This is disrespectful!
We can meet the Japanese emperor mainly because of his status as an envoy of the Song Dynasty! It is pitiful to say that the emperor of the Japanese country would be imprisoned and restricted his freedom. What kind of peace era is this? It is simply a big joke.
Let’s hand over the credential of the Japanese emperor to the officials and let’s see how the officials decide whether to help the Japanese emperor or to let the Japanese fend for themselves!”
After reading the last letter of the emperor's credentials, Cai Boqi sneered: "Although the rhetoric above is gorgeous, it is too arrogant..."
Xia Song smiled and said: "This is the guilty conscience of the Japanese emperor. The more arrogant he is, the more guilty he is, trying to use noble rhetoric to elevate his status. What kind of Japanese military do you see?"
Cai Boli thought for a while and thought: "The so-called sergeants are just ordinary farmers wearing armor, but it cannot be ignored that the Japanese country does have some elite warriors. Their knives are sharp and their armor is thick and should be difficult to deal with, but they are very few in number.
"
Xia Song nodded slightly: "During this period, you and I will write down in detail what we saw and heard in the Japanese country and submit it to the officials. As for whether to save or abandon it, it will be decided by His Majesty! But those three silver mines are
It cannot be thrown away under any circumstances.”
Cai Boqi stumbled and almost fell out. Just now, this old man acted like he was serving the country and the people, but suddenly he turned into a stingy iron rooster. You obviously took over someone else's silver mine, so if you don't do something, wouldn't it be equivalent to cheating?
Xia Song looked at Cai Boyi's expression and muttered: "A gentleman bullies his opponent..."
