Tokugawa Yorifusa came here because of the evil he had done with Aunt Kasuga... When the country is in trouble, it depends on Nagajun, and it is best to have a smart Nagajun. Tokugawa Ietsuna is obviously not good. He is only 10 years old and so stupid. How can he become a general?
If there are no three of Ietsuna, Nagamatsu (Tokugawa Shigetsuna) and Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, then the next shogun will have to be chosen from Tokugawa Mitsusada, the successor of the Kishu domain and Tokugawa Mitsuyoshi, the lord of the Owari domain. One person... Both of them are in their twenties, sixty-six or seventeen years old, and they are physically strong and smart. They also have children, so there is no need to worry about heirs. Among them, Mitsuyoshi was outstanding in martial arts, proficient in the art of war, and trained the Owari Domain army quite well.
Guangzhen, on the other hand, was good at governing the country. He followed his father Yori Xuan to govern Jizhou and made quite a lot of achievements. Moreover, Kishu has always produced iron artillery mercenaries, so the strength of the Kishu vassal army is not weak.
If these two people are allowed to take over the shogun's family, it would be better than letting Tokugawa Ietsuna take over!
But the big mistake has already been made. Tokugawa Yorifou regrets it to no avail. He can only think about persuading the general who grew up with Iemitsu to abolish Ietsuna's right of inheritance before Iemitsu dies. The general must agree, otherwise there is no way it can be done. Because the veterans Masayuki Nakabo and Matsudaira Nobutsuna who controlled the Bangata Army were both diehard loyalists of Iemitsu, they would not agree at all to allow the Akijuns of Kishu and Owari to take over the Tokugawa clan while Iemitsu still had heirs alive.
But when Tokugawa Yorifou saw Masamitsu, who was seriously ill and was about to die, and heard his first words, he knew that he could not tell Iemitsu about the heir.
"Yarifusa, I just met Kami-sama..." Tokugawa Iemitsu said, "Kami-sama came to my dream!"
"Kami-kun..." Tokugawa Yorifou was stunned, Kami-kun is his father! At this time, if you want to ask Yumeya, you should go to him or Yorinobu of Kishu Domain, how could you go to Iemitsu? Iemitsu is almost dead, so what's the use of looking for him?
"What did Kami-kun say?" Yorifou had to follow Iemitsu's words and ask, just in case Kami-kun said something like "Ie Tsuna is too stupid to be the heir, but Mitsukuni is extremely smart and can be the next general"... ....Then the Tokugawa family will be saved.
"I pray to God for 50 years of life!" Tokugawa Iemitsu said.
"Kami-kun has agreed?" Tokugawa Yorifou looked at Tokugawa Iemitsu. Seeing the dead look on his face, he guessed that Kami-kun has not agreed... But if Iemitsu can also recover, then he will pay more respects to him in the future. This biological father must worship at least three times a day!
"Before he could personally agree, I was shaken awake!" Tokugawa Iemitsu gritted his teeth and said, "But I saw the god had already nodded..."
Is that a promise?
Tokugawa Yorifu saw Tokugawa Iemitsu's face actually turning rosy, and thought: Is it really that effective? I have to go to Tosho Shrine to pay my respects and kowtow a few more times!
"Well, then you should take a good rest," Tokugawa Yorifusa said, "and don't worry too much about state affairs."
Tokugawa Iemitsu nodded and said to Yorifu: "Yarifu, you came just in time. I have something to ask you to do... maybe we can avoid the upcoming war."
"Oh? What does His Highness want me to do?" Tokugawa Yorifusa asked.
"You go to Kyoto immediately and convince Gosuiweiuin and the Empress Taishang to ask Kobuin and the two young princes to come to Japan to visit their relatives in the name of the Empress Taishang being seriously ill and missing her daughter and grandson."
Tokugawa Yorifusa took a breath: "Your Highness, you want to detain Kobuin and her sons?"
"It cannot be considered a seizure..." Tokugawa Iemitsu said, "Kobuin was originally the Supreme Emperor of Japan, and the two sons she gave birth to were also princes of Japan and had the right to inherit the throne of the Emperor. , you can ask His Majesty the Emperor to appoint one of them as the crown prince."
Tokugawa Iemitsu knew that he was likely to die, so he tried every possible means to delay the war from breaking out...even if he made Zhu Cijiong and the son of Emperor Kobuin the crown prince!
Anyway, today's emperor is only 19 years old this year, and he still has more than 30 years to live to be as old as his father!
After such a long time, Ie Tsuna can always grow up, right?
"Your Highness Kōkata..." Tokugawa Yorifou frowned even more tightly, "His Majesty the Emperor and the Emperor Gomizuoin will not agree!"
Tokugawa Iemitsu snorted coldly: "If you don't agree, I'll kill you!"
Kill the emperor!
The elders and middle-aged people present were all shocked.
"Hai!" Tokugawa Yorifou gritted his teeth and took over the task of killing the emperor - he was not afraid of the emperor. He was Tokugawa Ieyasu's biological son, and all three of his brothers were He was raised by Ieyasu himself, so fierce!
Moreover, Ieyasu had his last words, requiring him to obey any orders from the general... including, of course, killing the emperor!
After receiving Tokugawa Iemitsu's order, Tokugawa Yorifou left Edo Castle, took a group of retainers and Tokugawa Iemitsu's warrant, and went to Kyoto non-stop to convey Tokugawa Iemitsu's order.
Then Emperor Mizuoin had already become a fox, and of course he knew that Tokugawa Yoribo was a master he could not afford to offend - Tokugawa Iemitsu dispatched one of the three imperial families, the deputy shogunate of the Tokugawa shogunate (Tokugawa Iemitsu) In Ieyasu's last words, Tokugawa Yorifou designated the head of the Mito family as his deputy general. If he continues to contradict and confront Tokugawa Yorifu, he will really die soon...
So Emperor Hou Shuiweiyuan immediately persuaded his son Shaoren and his wife Hezi. One of them issued an order and the other pretended to be sick. Then Gomizuoin found the left minister Nijo Mitsuhei and asked him to quickly send an envoy to North Korea to invite Kobuin back to Japan.
At the same time, Tokugawa Iemitsu, who was critically ill, also began to make his final struggle. He had people announce that he had recovered, and also sent Kagemusha to pretend to be himself and show his face in front of the big shots gathered in Edo to deceive Xingbuin and Zhu Cijiong who were far away in North Korea.
But just before Nijo Guangping rushed to Busanpo Castle, Zhu Youjian's imperial edict also arrived.
In the imperial edict, Zhu Youjian clearly told Zhu Cijiong that Tokugawa Iemitsu would die soon, and asked him and Emperor Kobuin to prepare for war immediately!
We must take advantage of the transition of power in the Tokugawa shogunate to invade Kyoto, Japan, and elevate Kobuin to the throne of emperor once again!
And in the imperial edict, Zhu Youjian also pointed out a path to victory for his son!
"Iemitsu is dying!"
In the small palace in Busan Castle, the Ming Dynasty King Zhu Cijiong, who is now in his 20s and looks a bit more heroic, put down the imperial edict in his hand and said that he had just met Nijo Mitsuhei three days ago and was still worried about the health of his mother and son. Xingzi said: "It seems that your father was ordered by the shogunate to deceive you into going to Japan..."
Xingwuyuan's face was also a little ugly, "Husband, is the news about father reliable?"
"Of course!" Zhu Cijiong said, "And we also got reliable news that Tokugawa Iemitsu was seriously ill... How come he recovered in the blink of an eye? There must be a conspiracy in this!"
"Husband," Kobuin thought for a while, "Why don't we go to Japan to visit the Queen Mother and raid Osaka, then go straight to Kyoto, take control of the court in one fell swoop, and then declare the Tokugawa family as enemies of the court!"
"No," Zhu Cijiong said, "We can't rush to send troops now. We have to be prepared. We can't place our hopes on taking risks. And you can't take risks yourself."
"But how should we prepare?" Xingwuyuan Emperor asked, "We don't have much money left..."
"Go and borrow!" Zhu Cijiong looked at his wife, "This time you have to take action yourself and go to Shanghai to borrow money from my brother!"
