"Xuan~ The envoy of the Japanese Kingdom comes to see you!"
After receiving the advice from the officials of the Huitong Pavilion, Hosokawa Mokiyuki gave Chen Di a generous gift. Chen Di quickly found an opportunity to remind Zhu Biao that the Japanese envoy had learned the etiquette and was ready to meet him.
Zhu Biao then remembered the incident of the Japanese envoy, and quickly arranged to summon the Japanese envoy at the court meeting the next day.
When Hosokawa Mochichi stepped into the Fengtian Hall, he was shocked by the supreme power center of the Ming Dynasty, but he did not have time to take a closer look. While keeping the etiquette requirements in mind, his eyes quickly scanned among the ministers, trying to find Xu Chengfei from Jeolla Province.
The ministers all turned around at this time, wanting to see what the Japanese envoy who had refused to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty for many years looked like.
But at this glance, all the officials frowned and felt deeply disappointed. Originally, everyone thought that the Japanese country had some confidence in being able to refuse to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and the envoys they sent had to be impressive.
But the messenger in front of him was short and hunched over, looking like a villain with sinister eyebrows and rat eyes.
When everyone was disappointed, Hosokawa Noriyuki didn't find the person he was looking for, and there was a look of disappointment in his eyes. Even when he met the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, he was a little absent-minded and just followed the instructions of the officials of the Ministry of Rites.
"What? You said there is no such person?"
Today is the day when Hosokawa Mochiyuki meets the Ming Emperor, and it is also the time to truly see who Xu Chengfei is. As a result, Komatsu Reiko waited expectantly for a long time in Huitong Hall, and unexpectedly waited for this news.
Hosokawa Mochizuki nodded with an ugly expression. After a pause, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Master, is it possible that that person is a liar? He is not a nobleman of the Ming Dynasty at all?"
Komatsu Lingzi looked heavy, glanced at him, and said in a cold tone: "You mean I misjudged you? Was I slept in vain?"
"Subordinate... I don't dare!" Hosokawa Noriyuki quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
Only then did Komatsu Reiko look away from him and let him go for the time being. Then he stood up and walked around the room: "That person has nobility, and he is definitely not an ordinary person. It is said that the Qi of residence nourishes the body. How can an ordinary person have such dignified nobility?"
Komatsu Reiko was unwilling to admit defeat, and neither was she. If she admitted that she had misjudged the person, wouldn't it be just like what she said, that her rich body was wasted in vain? This is something that Komatsu Reiko, who has always been arrogant and arrogant, would not accept it no matter what.
Hosokawa Mochiyuki did not dare to continue arguing with his master on this matter, so he asked: "Master, there is no such person among the dignitaries of the Ming Dynasty. How can we find him?"
Komatsu Reiko was silent. At this point, she had no idea.
Seeing that she looked embarrassed and didn't speak, Hosokawa Mokiyuki quickly bowed and bowed wisely: "Master must be tired after waiting all day. I will leave now."
Komatsu Reiko looked at his back and didn't call out to him until Hosokawa Noriyuki went out and closed the door. After the door was closed, Komatsu Reiko suddenly punched the table with a pink fist. Perhaps because of the severe pain in her hand, her face was extremely distorted.
The Japanese country not only came to surrender, but also paid tribute, which made Zhu Biao very happy. Not only did he give a large amount of property in return, but he also gave Hosokawa Mochiyuki two months to fully appreciate the treasures of the Ming Dynasty.
Because he couldn't find anyone, Komatsu Reiko was so angry that he didn't go out for several days. Of course, she did not give up her search for Xu Chengfei, but she could not find him even in the court. Finding someone in a capital city with millions of people was no different from finding a needle in a haystack.
No matter how hard I searched, I found nothing.
However, during this period, Komatsu Reiko was not idle. After all, her main purpose of coming to the Ming Dynasty was to speak for the Japanese country, so that the Ming Dynasty could uphold justice and stop the war between the north and the south of the Japanese country.
Therefore, Hosokawa Mochiyuki used Chen Di as a breakthrough in this short period of time to lobby many officials. As the sister of Hosokawa Mochiyuki, Komatsu Reiko got to know many ministers of the DPRK and China.
Seafood restaurant.
On this day, Komatsu Reiko followed Hosokawa Mokiyuki and came here again to entertain several court ministers.
This is the fifth time that Chen Di has introduced the ministers of the DPRK and China to them, and both of them attach great importance to it. The reason why Chen Di is so active is of course because Hosokawa Mochiyuki gives him more generous gifts every time.
"Come on, come on, I would like to introduce you to you." Chen Di walked in and saw the two of them waiting in the private room for a long time. He not only nodded slightly, but also felt very satisfied.
So without beating around the bush, he stepped aside to reveal the person behind him.
"This is Mr. Qi Taiqi, the Minister of the Ministry of War. Mr. Qi is the Minister of the Ministry of War. What you want to ask for is just a matter of words to Mr. Qi."
"The foreign minister pays homage to Mr. Qi." Hosokawa Noriyuki and Komatsu Reiko hurriedly bowed down.
The reason why Qi Tai condescended to be condescending was naturally for a purpose. The moment he saw Lingzi Komatsu, two gleams of light could not help but appear in his old eyes, and he kept looking up and down at Lingzi Komatsu.
Come and try it quickly. 】
Komatsu Reiko already has the appearance of the character, and because she is a Japanese, she is born with a small and exquisite temperament that makes me pity her.
It is this temperament that has great appeal to Qitai.
Xiaosong Lingzi was keenly aware that Qi Tai's eyes were lingering on her chest and waist, and she couldn't help but sneer in her heart. With such determination, the important minister of the Ming Dynasty was simply useless, even compared to the original Xu Chengfei. They are all too far apart. At least, Xu Chengfei was just stunned when he saw her, and then he didn't pay much attention to her. How can Qi Tai be like this, at such an old age, he still looks like a hungry ghost in lust.
No, it’s an old man who is a pervert!
However, after learning that Qi Tai was the Minister of the Ministry of War, Komatsu Reiko not only did not show the slightest disgust, but instead cast a flirtatious look at Qi Tai, deliberately luring him to take the bait.
Qi Tai was so excited when he saw that such a stunning beauty took the initiative to tease him, as if he was thirty or forty years younger and returned to the time when he was young.
He quickly said: "Hahaha, your envoy is really a talented person. Even your envoy's girl is so bright, charming and lovable!"
Chen Di remained calm on the sidelines, and he only knew that Qitai had this hobby. He did not invite Qi Tai, but Qi Tai came to him and asked him to introduce the Japanese envoy.
The more Chen Di introduced important officials to the Japanese envoys, the more benefits he would get from them. Since Qi Tai took the initiative to invite him, he naturally would not refuse, so today's banquet was held.
"Master Qi, you have given me too much praise. I am very grateful to you for being able to honor me today. Your Excellency, please take a seat!"
"Easy to say, easy to say..." Qitai's eyes never left Xiaosong Lingzi, looking impatient.
Although Komatsu Reiko knew the importance of Qitai, she was still a young woman after all. Facing such an aggressive gaze, she still felt a little uncomfortable after a long time and couldn't help but tilt her head to one side.
Unexpectedly, just like this, she saw Xu Chengfei, who had been thinking about it all night, walking up the stairs step by step.
Komatsu Lingzi suddenly turned around and looked at Xu Chengfei carefully, but due to the position, she could only see his side face, so she was still not sure.
Qitai's claws, which were like withered tree bark, silently moved toward Xiaosong Lingzi's shoulder.
"ah!"
The moment Komatsu Reiko was touched, she stood up in shock.
Qitai's face suddenly darkened, and his eyes became sharp.
But before he could speak, Xiaosong Lingzi asked without noticing: "Master Qi, who is that person?"
Qitai glanced out the door subconsciously, and happened to see Han Du walking up the stairs. His face suddenly became extremely gloomy, and he had no intention of taking advantage of Xiaosong Lingzi.
He snorted coldly: "That's Han Du, the Duke of Ming Dynasty, my mortal enemy."
After hearing his master's words, Noriyuki Hosokawa subconsciously looked outside, and saw a familiar figure. A huge surprise suddenly appeared in my heart. I turned around to talk to the owner, but was stopped by Komatsu Reiko's look.
Hosokawa Mochiyuki suddenly realized that this was not the place to discuss this matter at all, and quickly lowered his head to avoid being seen with an abnormal look on his face.
Komatsu Reiko smiled slightly, sat back, and said with blinking eyes: "Since he is your lord's mortal enemy, he didn't come here on purpose because he knew you were here, right?"
Qitai chuckled, thinking that this woman wanted to take advantage of him. He shook his head and said: "This seafood restaurant is his property, why can't he come? If he wanted to find me, he would have come in directly. How could he go to the opposite side?"
"That's it. Thank you for clarifying your doubts. I'd like to give you a drink, little girl." Xiaosong Lingzi has experienced too much. Even though she just made Qi Tai a little unhappy, she gave Qi Tai a compliment with words of admiration. The coaxing is comfortable.
In the subsequent conversation, Komatsu Lingzi never asked anything about Han Du, which made Qitai and Chen Di mistakenly think that she was just on a whim.
After seeing off Chen Di and Qitai, Komatsu Reiko took Hosokawa Mokiyuki back to the Huitong Hall.
"Master, it turns out that he used a false name, and his real name is Han Du." Hosokawa Noriyuki was very happy to be able to find Han Du.
The same is true for Komatsu Lingzi. Her smile is like a flower, and her eyes reveal a meaningless look, "The Duke of Daming Town, what a great name!"
"Master, would you like your subordinates to come to your door now? Since he is the Duke of the Kingdom, his role will be even greater." Hosokawa Mokiyuki couldn't help but rub his hands a few times without even thinking about it.
"No." Komatsu Lingzi shook his head firmly, "Since he is the Duke of Ming Dynasty, it is very likely that he planned the bloody battles between the north and the south that Ming Dynasty provoked. If we ask him to mediate, it will be counterproductive. "
