The emperor was very excited when he heard this. This kind of secret support was much easier than fighting a war, and the losses were also different.
Ye Gucheng finally sneered: "If we are still afraid of fighting them after so long, we can only blame ourselves."
In the final analysis, what Ye Gucheng really hated was his failure to live up to expectations, but these words also made the emperor's face drop.
Ye Gucheng definitely treats Japanese people differently. This is the first time I hear Ye Gucheng talk incessantly.
When things happened in the past, Ye Gucheng would at most respond with "Yeah, ah, yes", and sometimes he would even just nod or shake his head.
Corruption within the country, and the biggest scourge caused by party unity and opposition.
Ye Gucheng's strategy can already buy the country a lot of preparation time. If it takes such a long time to clean up the internal affairs, it is really unreasonable.
Ye Gucheng actually has another way to destroy Fusang, and that is plague.
But when Ye Gucheng came up with this idea, he was also shocked. With the sanitary conditions at this time, if germ warfare is used, the consequences will be beyond one's control. It is not up to you when it will end or to what extent it will be expanded.
Ye Gucheng didn't dare to mention it. This opinion was different from others. He was afraid that the emperor would use this method without knowing the depth.
Ye Gucheng continued: "There is an important figure of the Tokugawa family in this envoy now, and Tokugawa Ieyasu sent two masters to protect him."
The emperor asked: "Who?"
Ye Gucheng said: "It's a young man who is less than twenty years old. If it weren't for the ninjas of the Iga sect and the masters of the Yagyu family who have been following him, I would have killed him long ago."
When this matter was mentioned, the emperor's face darkened again.
The emperor asked: "What should we do?"
Ye Gucheng said: "Find him alone to talk."
The emperor hesitated and asked, "Will he agree?"
Ye Gucheng said coldly: "There's no reason why he doesn't agree."
Everyone felt Ye Gucheng's coldness from the bottom of his heart.
Ye Gucheng personally went to the envoy to summon the young man named Tokugawa, accompanied by Jin Jiuling.
Shi Xing was worried and followed with Shen Weijing.
As soon as Ye Gucheng arrived at the inn where the envoys were staying, everyone in the envoys was restless. The originally ferocious Japanese pirates were like frightened kittens in front of Ye Gucheng.
Ye Gucheng pointed at the young man named Tokugawa and said, "Come here!"
The man trembled all over and stood there without moving.
Ye Gucheng's face darkened and he shouted: "Come here!"
Hattori Nobuo stepped forward, blocked Ye Gucheng and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Ye Gucheng said: "I want to kill him, can you stop me?"
Hattori Nobuo was speechless.
Ye Gucheng glared at the man and shouted: "Come here!"
The man walked towards Ye Gucheng involuntarily, but his trembling steps revealed his fear.
Standing in front of Ye Gucheng, he really couldn't control himself and couldn't calm down.
Ye Gucheng asked: "I asked you last time, is your surname Tokugawa?"
The man nodded shakily.
Ye Gucheng asked: "What's your name?"
The man trembled: "Tokugawa Hidetada."
"ah!"
Ye Gucheng secretly shouted: "The second generation general of the Edo shogunate who conquered the barbarians!"
Ye Gucheng thought that he was important, but he didn't expect that he was so important. Even Ye Gucheng's calm heart became excited.
Ye Gucheng couldn't hold back the smile on his face and said with a smile: "Our emperor invites you."
Of course, Yagyu Muneniki and Hattori Nobuo did not dare to let Tokugawa Hidetada be invited away alone. This was the heir to the Tokugawa family.
He really shouldn't have been allowed to come to the Central Plains, but he never thought that the most inappropriate thing would be the Japanese warriors killing people wantonly.
Ye Gucheng gave a cold "hum" and said, "You can come together. If we can't invite his people, I will carry his head and go back to revive him."
Shen Weijing hurried up
After explaining that it was indeed the emperor's invitation, they dared to leave with Ye Gucheng.
Shen Weijing has always been responsible for contacting the Fusang people, and they also understand that peace negotiation is the wish of both parties. They believe that their emperor will not be as ignorant as a charlatan.
Ye Gucheng pointed at Tokugawa Hidetada and said to the emperor: "This man is the son of Tokugawa Ieyasu and the heir to his status."
Even Shen Weijing was shocked.
Shen Weijing has been following Ye Gucheng. Ye Gucheng only asked his name and nothing else, and insisted on Tokugawa Hidetada's identity. He was the person who knew Fuso best, and he didn’t even know who Tokugawa Hidetada was.
If you are not the only one who understands the Japanese language and Fusang, then it will not be that important and it will not be a good thing.
But as for Shen Weijing's identity, the emperor was not qualified to speak at will without asking him.
The emperor was also overjoyed. After learning about Fusang's situation from Ye Gucheng, he also understood the importance of the young man in front of him.
The emperor said: "Continuous wars are not good for the country and the people. General Tokugawa is the mainstay of Fuso. I am willing to join hands with General Tokugawa to exchange for peace between the two countries."
Ye Gucheng frowned and said in Japanese in front of Shen Weijing who was about to translate: "Tokugawa Ieyasu's strength is no worse than Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Our Emperor is willing to help Tokugawa Ieyasu attack Toyotomi Hideyoshi."
"ah!"
Only Shen Weijing can understand Japanese: "Is what Ye Gucheng translated the emperor's words?"
Tokugawa Hidetada was also shocked, he was more direct than the Japanese. This statement was so straightforward that there would be no ambiguity, and there was no way that I could misunderstand its meaning.
Tokugawa Hidetada stammered: "This matter is not something I can decide."
Ye Gucheng didn't even translate it to the emperor, so he took the words directly and said, "You can't decide, so what's the point of keeping you?"
Tokugawa Hidetada was shocked: "He won't kill himself, right?"
Before meeting Ye Gucheng, he never believed that any Han would dare to kill him, but now he is not confident anymore.
Shen Weijing was trembling. He was confused when he saw Ye Gucheng's attitude towards the Japanese and the feedback from the Japanese along the way. Why is this happening?
Tokugawa Hidetada said tremblingly: "I can persuade my father to agree."
Ye Gucheng nodded and said to the emperor, "He agreed."
Shen Weijing was shocked. Tokugawa Hidetada's words and his agreement were completely different things.
The emperor was also suspicious. He agreed after just two sentences?
Seeing the horror on Shen Weijing's expression, he couldn't believe it even more. He asked Shen Weijing in a deep voice: "What did he say?"
Shen Weijing hated that he knew the Japanese language and was just asking for trouble. Should he tell the emperor Ye Gucheng to lie? The most important thing is that Ye Gucheng's presumptuousness makes him unsure of the relationship between Ye Gucheng and the emperor.
Shen Weijing hesitated, but the emperor's face darkened and he shouted: "Speak!"
Shen Weijing fell to his knees with a bang, not daring to hide it, and said, "He said he would go back and persuade Tokugawa Ieyasu to agree."
Ye Gucheng dared to talk nonsense in front of the emperor. This was a serious crime of deceiving the emperor.
