Emperor Xingzi was stunned and could not speak.
I happily married the rich and handsome Prince of Ming Dynasty. I thought I could live a happy married life, but unexpectedly I got caught in an imperial rebellion!
If this matter goes to the emperor, then that ruthless man Tokugawa Iemitsu must not be killed?
"No, no, no..." Emperor Koiko finally came to his senses and shook his head repeatedly, "It is impossible for the imperial rebellion to succeed. The Tokugawa shogunate is very powerful, and the elder of the imperial family is not me. It’s my father, the Grand High Priest of Mizuoin. Even if someone wants to rebel, it’s him. Why don’t you go and discuss it with my father?”
This is also a cheating and dutiful daughter! I wonder if Emperor Gomizuo will be so angry that his life will be shortened if he knows about this?
"He can't do it!" Zhu Cijiong waved his hand and said, "He is not a rebel at all...and he is too old to learn the ability to rebel!"
The ability to rebel? Emperor Xingzi thought to himself: I can’t do it either!
Zhu Cijiong looked at the frightened Emperor who turned pale, and said with a smile: "Xingzi, you are still young. You can still study if you don't want to rebel!"
"Xiang, who should I learn from?" Xingzi asked in a trembling voice.
"Me!" Zhu Cijiong slapped his chest, "I know how to rebel!"
"You, you..." Emperor Xingzi was very happy with Zhu Cijiong, "How do you know about rebellion? If you oppose the Tokugawa shogunate, it is not called rebellion. If you oppose your father, then you oppose your brother. It's rebellion! Do you dare?"
Zhu Cijiong smiled and said: "Xingzi, I don't dare to rebel... But it's not because I'm timid that I dare not rebel. It's because I really know how to rebel, so I know there is no possibility of success, so I don't dare to rebel."
That's right, he is Prince Zhu San! Don’t dare to rebel? How is it possible... There was a time in my previous life when all those who rebelled were named Prince Zhu!
He went on to say: "My father established the front army at the age of sixteen. At the age of seventeen, he went to the battlefield to kill the enemy. He defeated the northern captives, pacified the eastern slaves, destroyed the western bandits, attacked Burma, and swept the western regions. He was truly invincible. If you don't take anything, you will be invincible. If I go to rebel against him, wouldn't I be asking for my own death?"
"What about your eldest brother? He hasn't fought in a war, has he?" Emperor Xingzi was not good at all. He actually blamed Zhu Cixiang for the disaster.
"Although my eldest brother doesn't have the chance to kill the enemy on the battlefield, he is not ignorant of soldiers." Zhu Cijiong explained, "He also came from the Youth Guards Corps and the Tent Guards Corps... and he is also very good at managing money. I My father often said that he was the richest man in the world and could amass billions of dollars without the people knowing his suffering. This man who knew how to fight and was the richest man could not be defeated by anyone. Anyone who rebelled against him would also be dead. "
The Third Prince Zhu really knows how to rebel best!
He didn't rebel against Zhu Youjian and Zhu Cihong because he really understood. He knew that the rebellion would not be successful and would cost his life.
Emperor Koiko was really interested when he heard what this little brother who knew a lot about rebellion said, so he asked, "Tell me, what is the key to a successful rebellion?"
"Of course you have to become a real samurai!" Zhu Cijiong said, "In Japanese history, since the rise of the samurai family, all those who succeeded in rebellion were samurai, and they were samurai who could really fight!
In the history of China, in the past dynasties, those who raised troops to rebel became great entrepreneurs, either warriors or rogues. The only person who truly rose from humble beginnings to become a world leader was Emperor Taizu Gao of the Ming Dynasty.
However, although Emperor Gao, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, came from a rough background, he was a genius. He became self-taught in just a few years and became familiar with the method of using military force to win. "
Not to mention, Prince Zhu San really got to the point. The key to the success or failure of the rebellion is not whether it can be fought? It will be very difficult for those who cannot fight to rebel. It is very likely that they will be suppressed as soon as they are suppressed!
Zhu Cijiong looked at Emperor Koiko and said seriously: "Both Emperor Go-Toba and Emperor Go-Daigo are not samurai, and they also want to deprive the samurai of their benefits by resisting the shogunate. They want to share the world with the ministers, which is not feasible. Therefore, their efforts to revitalize the imperial industry ended up in vain.
Xingzi, if you want to succeed, you must become a daughter of the Wu family. What you want to fight for is the position of the leader of the samurai, not to restore the situation where the emperor and the ministers share the world.
Because in Japan, the only people who can share the world are samurai! "
"But..." Emperor Xingzi smiled bitterly. In fact, she just wanted to live a good life with Zhu Cijiong, and did not want to share the world with the samurai.
"But the samurai all support the Tokugawa shogunate," Koiko said. "Shogun Iemitsu's reputation and authority are extremely strong, and it is impossible to oppose him."
"But we can wait!" Zhu Cijiong said with a smile, "Didn't your great-grandfather Tokugawa Ieyasu survive the death of a lot of heroes of his generation and gain the world by living a long life? We are still very young now, and Iemitsu this year He is over 40 years old... If nothing happens, we will be able to survive him. Once he dies, who else in the Tokugawa family can stand up to you and me?"
Xingzi now understood that her fiancé was a little careerist who wanted to get involved in the Japanese imperial power!
Of course, since Zhu Cijiong married Emperor Xingzi, he had the right to get involved in the imperial power of Japan. Xingzi is not disgusted with this matter. She is the emperor. How can the emperor really hate power?
"So..." Xingzi asked thoughtfully, "How should I become a warrior?"
"Of course it starts with choosing the posthumous title after abdication."
In ancient China, posthumous titles were always added after death... The supreme Chinese emperor generally had no right to decide his own posthumous title. But the Japanese emperor can give himself a posthumous title when he abdicates.
This is one of the few "great powers" left to the emperor by the Tokugawa shogunate.
Now that Emperor Koiko is about to abdicate, of course he has to choose a posthumous title.
Zhu Cijiong hopes that Xingzi can make good use of this power.
"Xingzi, please choose Xingwu as your posthumous name!" Zhu Cijiong said to Xingzi, "Your name has the word "Xing" in it, and you are the granddaughter of the Wu family, and your husband is also a Ming warrior... so After you abdicated the throne, you became a samurai wife, and you had to follow your husband to Korea, which is still in war, and you had to go to battle with your husband!"
"Nani? Going into battle together?" Emperor Xingzi was a little nervous, "Your Majesty, you want to take me to the battlefield?"
"Yes!" Zhu Cijiong nodded, "As soon as we return to North Korea, we will go out to attack the remnants of slave thieves entrenched in the northeast of North Korea... You are my wife, and you should go out with me to prevent me from being lonely on the battlefield!"
"Hai..." Emperor Xingzi's cheeks turned red again, and he immediately said, "The king needs Xingzi to accompany him. Xingzi should not be afraid of dangers and live and die together!"
"So you must become a warrior woman!" Zhu Cijiong said with a smile, "With this identity, coupled with experience in battle, plus my elder brother's money, you will definitely be able to make more Japanese samurai become your retainers!
When Tokugawa Iemitsu died of illness and the shogunate fell into chaos... he landed his army in Osaka, Japan, and then invaded Kyoto, forcing your brother to abdicate and allowing you to regain the throne as emperor. At that time, most of the southwestern feudal lords who are dissatisfied with the Tokugawa shogunate will support us, and we can have an east-west war with the Tokugawa shogunate! "
Xingzi breathed out, nodded and said: "Okay, I listen to you...but it's getting late now, shouldn't we take a rest?"
"Of course," Zhu Cijiong said with a smile, "otherwise, why would I invite you here so late at night?"
