Masain successfully sold his daughter, and he couldn't help but secretly thank the shogunate, or the poor Japanese royal family.

There is no way, because of poverty, the Japanese royal family has now developed to the point where a prince becomes a monk and a prince will never marry for life.

It is precisely because of this that when the current king of the Japanese king Xingzi was already seventeen years old, he had not gotten married and had no betrothal even for his husband's family, which was considered a cheaper Emperor Chongzhen's eldest son.

However, Zhu Ciying was not grateful, and after the banquet, it broke out: "The daughter of the Japanese king is already seventeen years old, five years older than her son!"

Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "Didn't you hear the saying among the people? A girl with a senior holds a gold brick?"

Zhu Ciying sneered: "So, according to the father's words, wouldn't the son minister have to add two more silver bricks after holding the gold bricks?"

Emperor Chongzhen was immediately choked by Zhu Ciying's words, and said in anger: "So what if it's two gold bricks!? Do you still want to object to the marriage I pointed out to you?"

Zhu Ciying was stunned and said in a little disappointed manner: "I don't dare. But my son doesn't like the Japanese girl, nor do I want the concubine to be a Japanese girl. That person is neither human nor ghost, so he is as good as my Han girl!"

Emperor Chongzhen narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly: "Damn it, have you run out secretly again? Have you seen a Japanese woman?"

Zhu Cihuang felt a sense of silence and knelt down and said, "Qi Zuo, the son of the son has gone out, but he did not run out secretly, but brought the Jinyiwei and the eunuch with him, and no one stopped the son of the son."

Going out openly and not going out secretly. This reason is very good and powerful. Emperor Chongzhen was speechless. He just cursed a bastard hatefully and stopped pursuing it: "The incident of your private outing is revealed, but you must marry this daughter of the Japanese king.

As for what you are worried about, there is no need to. I have ordered people to arrange corresponding personnel, including the maids who serve and the nanny who trains them. When you finish the ceremony and get married, I think this Xingzi is as good as my Ming Dynasty woman."

After saying that, a strange look appeared on Emperor Chongzhen's face and said, "To be honest, this Japanese woman is quite similar to the women on the grassland. After getting married, he focused on his husband's family."

Zhu Ciying was also a little excited: "What if my Ming Dynasty used troops to the Japanese?"

Emperor Chongzhen said: "Of course she will help you sort out your armor, prepare your swords and handle your home affairs."

Zhu Ciying curled her lips and said, "It's like my mother thinking about how to cheat my grandfather?"

But after all, Xingzi is the daughter of the King of Japan. She will be really willing to do so after being the king of the Japanese country for so long? If she does something bad in it, how should the son-in-law deal with it?"

Emperor Chongzhen said meaningfully: "What's the difficulty? If you really like her, you won't teach her to get in touch with these things.

If you have no feelings for her, what's the difficulty of setting up a Guisi Hall?

I tell you that the Tian family is not really ruthless, but all feelings must give way to the word "world"! If you can't do this, I'm afraid you won't even do the Liao King well!"

When Zhu Ciying heard this, he said dissatisfiedly: "Father, this is the only one who teaches me. Have you ever been ruthless? My son always heard that Wei Zhongxian was like this and that people said that Master Wen Ge was like this. I didn't see you doing anything to them. Instead, Wei Zhongxian can now maintain his old age, and Wen Ge was still the chief assistant of the dynasty?"

Emperor Chongzhen sneered: "That's because they are sensible!

Your uncle left Wei Zhongxian to me, originally trying to let him clean up the disobedient officials in the court and make money for me. To put it bluntly, Wei Zhongxian is a vicious dog that relies on his master's power to bite people.

However, the biggest difference between me and your uncle is that I know one thing - only reputation and tools cannot be faked!

I have the righteousness of the world, the soldiers and horses in the world, and the largest money house in the world. Whether it is reputation or tools, they are in my own hands. Naturally, Wei Zhongxian can accomplish things without him. This is also the biggest difference between me and your uncle.

In other words, if Wei Zhongxian is good, he can live. If I want him to die, he will definitely not be able to survive tomorrow. I can find the corresponding personnel to replace him at any time.

So, what you must remember is that only names and tools cannot be faked, that is the reason.”

Zhu Ciying bowed and said, "My son has written it down."

Emperor Chongzhen shook his head and said, "Not only do you need to remember, but when you really become the King of Liao, you will find that there are still many things in this world that will cause you to have a headache.

Not only civil and military officials, but also the people. If the people are safe, the country will be safe. If the people are in chaos, the country will be in chaos. This has always been the case in the world. Kings of all dynasties actually understand it, but it is difficult to do it."

Zhu Ciying bowed and said, "Please give me advice?"

Emperor Chongzhen said: "The emperor serves as the herdsmen of heaven, but all officials serve as the herdsmen of heaven. I will ask you, is it the herdsmen of heaven or the herdsmen of heaven?"

Emperor Chongzhen's words made Zhu Cihuang, who was only twelve years old, fall into deep thought.

There were many great scholars in the palace who taught the emperor and the prince to read. The most common ones said was that the emperor ruled over all officials and controlled all the people.

But in fact, Zhu Cihuang and Zhu Cihuang believed this sentence or not.

In addition to their studies in the palace, Zhu Cixuan and Zhu Cixuan also had to go to the young army to receive training. They spent a lot of time outside the palace - it seemed that the people's evaluation of their own emperor's father was infinitely high, but their views on the officials were different.

Through the opinions of the people, Zhu Cixuan and Zhu Cixuan easily came to a conclusion.

All officials will not be honest in doing things according to the will of their fathers, and will change them many times.

Two people who grew up in this environment in the palace are not stupid. They all buried in their hearts when they see and hear, but they won't say it out loud, just slowly observing all of this.

Now that he heard Emperor Chongzhen suddenly ask such a question, Zhu Cihuang felt a little confused and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

After pondering for a while, Zhu Ciying said, "My son is outside the palace, especially when he left the palace and went to Myanmar last time, he has seen many things. Local officials do not seem to do their business completely according to the will of his father?

The sons believe that the father must know this, because they cannot hide it from the spies of Jinyiwei and the East Factory, but they don’t know why the father ignored it?"

Emperor Chongzhen said: "Water is clear, there is no fish, and people are too observant, there is no disciple. Nothing is outside of ancient and modern times. Of course, I know that the officials below are making small moves, and that they are greedy for money on their backs.

But you have to know how many people can shepherd the so-called emperor serves as the herders of heaven? The real government of the world depends on these officials, especially the officials and minor officials at the bottom. The so-called emperor serves as the herders of heaven, and the officials serves as the herders of heaven, are actually the herders of the officials and the emperor serves as the herders of heaven.

If all officials want to do their jobs honestly, they must give them benefits. Otherwise, who will become this official? Who will do the job for the king and herdsmen?

Therefore, I know what they are doing, but I will ignore some minor things that are not very important and help them gain some benefits. Even if they have implemented six or seven of the ten deeds, the world will be as stable as Mount Tai.

Even if you think it is darker, such corrupt officials must exist - when necessary, hand them over to calm the public anger. Do you understand that the people are resentful of officials rather than kings?”

After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen continued, "I ask you again, the king of Japan is known as the same generation as the world. Do you know the reason?"

Zhu Ciying tentatively said: "In the foolish opinion of a son, there are probably two reasons?

First, the people of Japan are ignorant and the people are not yet wise, and they all regard their king as gods, so they have a saying that they have been a world of eternal sects.

The second is that the shogunate of Japan has changed its power, and its power is in the hands of the shogunate. The lord of the country is only the lord of the name and the shogunate generals has no threat, so he was kept?"

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "Yes, it is precisely because the king of the country is only the nominal king. The people think that everything is done by the shogunate and has nothing to do with the king of the country. Most of them think that their king has been wronged.

It is precisely because of this that the people naturally turned to the king of that country, believing that all the mistakes were made by the shogunate.

Little do they know that the shogunate and the lord of that country are one, and the two depend on each other, just maintaining a balance.

This time Zhengren asked to marry Xingzi to you, just to break this balance and regain the power that originally belonged to the king of that country."

Zhu Ciying said curiously: "What about the opinions of the father?"

Emperor Chongzhen said: "What do you have to do with me? What do you have to do with the Ming Dynasty?

Even if Masahito did not favor your daughter to you, I would still show my support for Masahito. Only in this way can Masahito and his supporters have the confidence to fight the Tokugawa Shogunate. Only in this way will Japan become in chaos in the future and fall into the dispute between the royal power and the shogunate. It is my Ming Dynasty who will benefit."

Zhu Ciying fell into silence for a moment. After a long time, she asked tentatively: "These should be the emperor's minds to govern the world. Is it too much for the father to tell his sons to say this?"

Emperor Chongzhen laughed and said, "I have told you a long time ago that you will be the King of Liao, or may be changed to the King of Japan in the future. If you don't understand these emperors' minds, how to govern the feudal state? How to govern the subjects?

It is said that the king will win the world immediately and dismount the horse to rule the world. You have seen how I won the world immediately. I teach you now, but how to govern the world, how to shepherd the officials and control the people is also what the lord of a country must know."

The little flame that had just risen was extinguished - I was really thinking too much, and my father was in full swing, and I really didn't have the chance to peek at that position.

After all, Zhu Ciying is only twelve years old. Although she is a little scheming, she cannot do the same acting skills as Emperor Chongzhen. At least, she has not mastered the skill of the face-paralyzing actor.

Seeing Zhu Cihuang's disappointed expression, Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile again: "You must remember, what I give you is yours. If I don't give you, you can't rob it.

Be your King of Liao, don’t let me down, and don’t let your mother be frightened, do you understand?”

After being beaten by Emperor Chongzhen again, Zhu Cihuang's heart trembled and bowed respectfully and said: "Yes, my son must remember his father's teachings and dare not forget them."

Seeing that the beating was almost done, Emperor Chongzhen continued, "After going back, go find your mother and your grandfather, and ask your grandfather to prepare people for you. Since the Essay Island is Xingzi's dowry, it is naturally the fief of your King of Liao, how can it be controlled by those barbarians?"

...

After returning to the residence arranged by Chen Hao, Tokugawa Ie-kwang immediately found Masain: "It's okay for the prince of the Ming Kingdom to be betrothed, why should he use the dowry of the Ekima Island?"

Listening to Tokugawa Iemitsu's questioning tone, Masahito's face turned dark: "Does this king still need the general to teach me how to do things?"

Tokugawa Iemitsu sneered: "The Essian slaves on the Essian Island were originally captured by me in Japan and sold to the Ming Dynasty. Now the king directly sent the Essian Island out. Is the Essian slaves on the island still my turn to sell them in Japan?

What's more, how big is the land of the Hokkien? You actually gave it out directly as a dowry, and my Japanese territory suddenly decreased by one quarter!"

Zhengren sneered and said, "So what? Xingzi is my daughter! I am the king of Japan!"

Kazuko Tokugawa, who was kneeling beside him, wanted to persuade him but did not dare. Seeing Tokugawa Iemitsu's face getting darker and darker, Kazuko Tokugawa became more and more anxious.

After a while of silence, Tokugawa Iemitsu said coldly: "I hope the king can be like this in the future!"

Zhengren sneered, "How? Xingzi's husband is the eldest son of the Ming Dynasty. No matter how dissatisfied you, do you dare to touch the slightest part of this king and Xingzi!"

Tokugawa Iemitsu simply stood up and left with his sleeves: "I hope the king doesn't regret it!"

After Tokugawa Ie-kwang left, Masain collapsed softly on the couch, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and ordered Tokugawa Kazuko, "I am tired, prepare to sleep."

Tokugawa Kazuko got up to prepare the bed. What happened in the house just now was soon sent to the shore of Emperor Chongzhen.

After Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he signaled Wang Chengen to hand over the information to Zhu Cihuang again, and said with a smile: "What did you see?"

Zhu Ciying frowned and said, "Father forgives the crime, but the sons don't see anything?"

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "Fake it! All of this should be a scene performed by Tokugawa Iemitsu and Masatogen in a temporary manner!"

Zhu Ciying asked with a confused look on her face: "Please give me advice?"

Pointing to the information in Zhu Ciying's hands, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "Even if Masatori intends to turn against Tokugawa Ikawa, would he be stupid enough to be at this time and place? If you really think they are all idiots, then it can only prove that you are idiots!"
