Chapter 687 Selling sons and daughters, who gets the advantage and who loses?

The King of Gomizuo, formerly known as Gomizuo Emperor, is now known as Gomizuo Prince Masahito, also known as Masahito, is the third prince of Gomizuo Emperor. His mother is the daughter of Ogue. He belongs to the 108th emperor in the emperor's genealogy of Japan.

The relationship between Masato and Tokugawa Iemitsu is a bit complicated.

Yu Gong, Masatoen was the king of Japan, and Tokugawa Iemitsu was the general of the Shogunate's conquest, and was a relationship between the monarch and the subject.

In private, Masahito's wife Tokugawa Kazuko is Tokugawa Iemitsu's sister, Tokugawa Iemitsu's brother-in-law.

The problem is that in the sixth year of Kiyoei, that is, the second year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, Tokugawa Iemitsu actually sent his wet nurse, Kasuhiko, to meet the emperor. Because Kasuhiko had no official position, he went to meet the emperor. He was considered a great humiliation by Gomizuo, and felt that the shogunate did not take his authority seriously. In addition, he was forced to take the title of Emperor Huang to be the king of Japan. Masatori simply passed the throne to Prince Hiroko Nai, who was less than seven years old, and he became the Supreme Regent.

However, no matter how frustrated he was, Zhengren still had to come to Kyushu Island to pay homage to the Ming Emperor.

Masatogen also knew very well that the only possibility that he would not come was that the lineage of emperors would end in his hands.

Tokugawa Iemitsu could not show mercy because the current king was his niece, and the Ming Dynasty could not be spared from the conquest because the king of the Japanese was only seven years old.

Zhengren saw how big the gap between the two countries is now, so Zhengren came to Kyushu Island with his nose pinched.

After lifting the curtain and looking at the Governor's Office of Kyushu Island not far away, a strange feeling suddenly arose in Masato's heart.

The dignified Japanese Emperor is not as good as a governor's palace, which makes the Emperor's family, which is known as the eternal one, feel...

After sighing deeply, Zhengren said, "Now, all our hopes can only be placed on Xingzi."

Kazuko Nakamiya Tokugawa reached out and held Masatohito's hand and sighed: "How can a girl, Xingzi, support such a big country? You don't know what kind of personality your brother is."

Masatori said with a gloomy face: "Tokugawa Iemitsu can ignore me or act recklessly in Japan, but, does he dare to offend the Ming Dynasty?"

Kazuko Tokugawa gasped and said, "What do you want to do? Hikaru is just a child! She is only seven years old!"

Zhengren still had a cold face and almost gritted his teeth, saying, "Of course I know she is only seven years old, and I never thought of giving her to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

However, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty still had a son, which was not possible. The Ming Dynasty would also have royal families in various palaces, and they would always have children of princes of appropriate age. Since Xingzi was born in the royal family, he should sacrifice for the royal family!"

Tokugawa Kazuko's expression changed drastically. If it weren't for the limited carriage that was too small, I was afraid that Tokugawa Kazuko would have stood up in shock: "You are playing with fire! Of course, my brother can't afford to offend Daming, but what kind of good person would Daming be? What is Kyushu Island now? Can't you see?"

Masato Ren's face showed a ruthless look, and his face became a little distorted: "How bad can it be? Now he is the king, and he will be the king in the future, but Xingzi and her children will be the real master of Japan!"

Tokugawa Kazuko suddenly collapsed in her seat and murmured: "It's crazy, it's crazy. My brother is crazy, you are crazy too! You are pushing Japan to a place of doom!"

Zhengren snorted coldly and scolded: "Women's opinion! If Bujing Xingzi married the son of the Ming emperor or other royal family, would they consider it for me?

All the authority is in the hands of the shogunate. Although I am the one who deposed the decree, but if Xingzi's edict is not passed by your brother, can he leave the palace without passing through the imperial edict?"

...

Along the way, until Masatohito and his wife's vehicles entered the Governor's Office, Masatohito did not say a word, leaving only Tokugawa and Koba to mutter something.

Emperor Chongzhen didn’t know whether Zhengren could eat Shandong cuisine, nor did he have any interest in knowing that as long as he liked it, he would do whatever he liked. Who would care about Zhengren’s like or not?

As soon as the authentic Shandong cuisine was served, Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "Zhengren, Aiqing, might as well try this Shandong cuisine. Even in my Ming Dynasty, this Shandong cuisine can be served. Not to mention, this banquet was a chef and ingredients specially found from Shandong. You must taste it well."

Upon hearing this, Zhengren immediately bowed respectfully: "I, thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

Chen Hao quietly curled his lips far away from him - no one wants to be shameless!

Emperor Chongzhen means that I am here. If you have the ability to see me, you must know that you will be able to follow me and be obedient. The benefits are bound to be without you.

Zhengren said that he was very well-behaved and knew very well, as long as you are happy, boss, you are happy.

This kind of confrontation between words has never been popular with the son of today, nor do I know what crazy he was doing today, but he actually criticized Zhengren.

But that's fine, it's better to knock it out than to knock people off and slash people on the spot?

Emperor Chongzhen was very happy to eat an authentic Shandong cuisine banquet - he was tired of eating the big and small shrimps on the sea, but it was still easy to eat Shandong cuisine.

But if it is Zhengren, the banquet tastes a little ignorant.

Until the leftovers were removed, Zhengren first thanked Emperor Chongzhen for the banquet, and then said, "I asked Your Majesty, I have a ruthless request. I don't know if I should say it or not?"

This time, Emperor Chongzhen showed great pride: "What is your request? Just say it as soon as possible."

Zhengren said: "I am telling you that my daughter Xingzi is seven years old and has not yet decided on a marriage. I am thinking about it myself, asking Your Majesty to make the decision for me and choose a good concubine for Xingzi. I am willing to use the entire Kingdom of Japan as the dowry!"

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Zhengren with a confused look on his face - this operation is quite sexy!

Emperor Chongzhen only thought about this request from Zhengren and understood his intention.

The Western barbarians are so good at finding a powerful husband that there are such statements like European grandmothers.

But for Eastern civilization, this kind of slutty operation has never been very popular.

The country that my ancestors have worked so hard to conquer was taken away by outsiders so easily, and I still have the face to meet my ancestors after my death?

It is precisely because of this that basically no emperor or prince would do this. He would rather let his son marry some powerful wives from his parents' home than find a husband for his daughter to inherit all this - unless he was married into a marriage.

However, under normal circumstances, who would choose to marry into a wife who could have a meal or get a wife?

After all, marriage into a family is nothing in the future. In the current Ming Dynasty, it would be a life-threatening event.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, son-in-law had no human rights, and from time to time, you can see the sayings of recruiting son-in-law to be exiled.

Even in the Song Dynasty, after the social status of the son-in-law was greatly improved, it was more like "son-in-law repairing the generation" and "son-in-law care for the elderly". The children born must be followed by the woman's surname, and the man also has no real status.

Now Zhengren suddenly proposed to find a husband for his seven-year-old daughter, and to use the entire Japanese as the dowry, probably for his son.

After sneering in his heart, Emperor Chongzhen narrowed his eyes and said, "It's Zhengren's request. I have just considered it for a while and found that there are many suitable candidates, but there is one problem?"

Zhengren bowed again and said, "I dare to ask Your Majesty, I wonder what is the difficulty?"

Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "Even if you take the eldest son of the emperor as an example, your knowledge and talents are first-class. Even if you are old, you are just like Xingzi. You can be said to be a first-class good match.

But the eldest son of the emperor is the King of Liao after all, so how can he marry into Japan? It is believed that it is difficult for the right candidates among other royal families to accept the saying of marrying into Japan, so it is difficult to do so."

Zhengren, who had long thought of all this, gritted his teeth and bowed down again and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not ask the prince to marry into a small country. After Xingzi becomes an adult, I will let Xingzi give way. If Xingzi can marry into the Tian family, I am willing to use the land of Essay as a dowry!"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he sneered in his heart and said lightly: "Since that's the case, I will make an appointment with you. I will write an edict. I heard that the king of the Japanese king, Xing's son Wen Liang and Xianshu, was suitable for the family, so I pointed out that the eldest son of the emperor was the concubine."

Isn’t Zhengren’s goal the eldest son?

As long as Xingzi accused her of marriage to her eldest son, then the current king of the Japanese king and the later princess of the Liao king will naturally have strong words - even if it is a small voice, after being amplified by the Liao king as the background, who dares not take it seriously in the entire Japanese kingdom?

Didn't you see Tokugawa Iemitsu's face look as ugly as eating a fly?

As for the eldest son of the emperor - just selling a son, Emperor Chongzhen did not have any psychological pressure when he did such a thing.

The only thing that hurts is that he originally belonged to Zhengren's father generation, and his eldest son married Zhengren's daughter as the princess. Isn't Zhengren the same generation as him?

I sold my son to exchange for the Hokkaido, which is later in life. This wave should be a good loss.

However, I was reduced to a generation after a lifetime and became a peer of the old man Zhengren. Who was the one who got the advantage and who suffered the loss?

And Tokugawa Iemitsu, who was sitting in the lobby, was indeed as uncomfortable as eating a fly, but he had to go with the others: "I am going to congratulate the eldest prince, and congratulate His Highness Masatoen."

After all the calculations, Tokugawa Iemitsu didn't count as decisive as Masato could play - he took the Hokkien Island that was not in Japan as a dowry and betrothed the seven-year-old Hiko to the eldest son of the Ming Dynasty!

Theoretically, it would be his freedom to betroth the person Masato of the Ming Dynasty to whom he betrothed, even if he betrothed to the eldest son of the Ming Dynasty, it would not have much impact on Japan today.

At least, there will not be any big impact before Xingzi becomes an adult. This time is still seven years, which is enough to operate it yourself.

The problem is that, with the temperament of the Ming Emperor, would he sit down and watch the past seven years pass? What would he think about Japan?

Moreover, the Ming Dynasty might have sat there and controlled Japan and made Xingzi a puppet? It is unlikely to think about it!

When Xingzi controls the right to speak, wouldn’t it be like letting Masain, a bastard, control the right to speak? What else will the shogunate do in Japan? Is there any place to speak for himself?

However, after a long time of development, Tokugawa Iemitsu did not come up with any good solutions. He had almost come up with one or two ways to break the deadlock, and then he was denied by himself.

Because Tokugawa Iemitsu discovered that no matter what solution he came up with, he could hardly avoid the level of Hikako.

If Xingzi was just a simple king of Japan, it would be easy to say that he could even take ruthless measures with his own brother, what is a mere niece?

But the identity of Princess Liao was enough to make the shogunate breathless - even if he wanted to take a ruthless move to get rid of Xingzi, he would have almost no chance!

Not to mention what kind of protection Zhengren, who put all his hopes on Xingzi, would take for Xingzi, the Ming Dynasty would send corresponding personnel to Japan.

It is service, protection, and surveillance.

It can be foreseeable that among these people sent by the Ming Dynasty, there must be all kinds of people, including members of the factory guards.

It would be easier to get rid of Xingzi under the hands of the factory guards without leaking the news.

After a headache for a while, Tokugawa Iemitsu did not think of any good idea - he had a daughter named Chiyohime, who was about the same age as Hitoko. He could have taken this opportunity to ask to marry the King of Liao as his concubine to be a concubine.

However, the problem is that when Chiyohime was one year old, that is, the eleventh year of Chongzhen, she had already engaged in a engagement with Tokugawa Mitsutomo, the heir of Ohashi Tokugawa family, and she was married in the twelfth year of Chongzhen...

Thinking of this, Tokugawa Iemitsu couldn't help but secretly regret why his daughter got married so early? Wouldn't it be better to be late?

As for the other adopted daughters, Tokugawa's family really didn't take them seriously.

No matter how many adopted daughters there are, their identity is far worse than Chiyohime, and they are even worse than Hikari. I hope they can restrain Hikari? Stop dreaming. The difference in identity is enough to suppress them!

As expected by Tokugawa Iemitsu, Emperor Chongzhen picked up the wine glass and drank it, and then spoke: "Since Xingzi has been designated as the Princess of Liao, he will be supported by the Ming Dynasty's treasury. The twenty-four yamen and factory guards will also send corresponding personnel back."

Zhengren was even more happy when he heard this, and immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, your Majesty, thank you for your kindness!"

Now it was stable. I sold my daughter and the Ekima Island that was not in Japan at all. The exchange was for Ming Dynasty's full support for Xingzi, which was equivalent to full support for himself. Now, let's see how that guy Tokugawa Ieguru fights with him!

Tokugawa Iemitsu felt even more uncomfortable.
