After entering Kyoto, Tofuku Gate and Emperor Kiyonaga also said goodbye to Toyotomi Kaoru and Tokugawa Chihito, and said that they would visit Tokugawa Chihito tomorrow to visit Nijo Castle and then return to the palace.

Toyotomi Kaoru and his party returned to Nijo Castle. Shang Yi and Ali Sandra also held a banquet in Nijo Castle to welcome Tokugawa Chihime. Of course, Honda Katsuhime and Tokugawa Tsuna were also enthusiastically recruited in the side hall. Several daimyos and wives, including Mori Hirotsuka, Katsushima Katsushima, Arima Tadara, etc., were responsible for receiving them.

Of course, after meeting Shang Yi, Tokugawa Chihiko certainly did not dare to regard himself as Shang Yi's mother-in-law. After all, no matter how much Shang Yi favored Tokugawa Kaoru, Tokugawa Kaoru's status in Shang Yi's harem is indeed not high. This is a fact. In fact, Tokugawa Chihiko is just a Zhaojie now, and he is not even a concubine. Therefore, after meeting Shang Yi, Tokugawa Chihiko also greeted Shang Yi as a monk. He put his hands together and recited the Buddha's name, saying: "Minnie has seen Your Majesty. Ahn is really grateful to him for being favored and cared for by Your Majesty." In fact, this is better, because the identity of a monk is transcendent and there is no need to give a big gift.

Shang Yi also owed his body and said, "Master, please be polite. Master, come from Edo all the way, thank you all the hard work." He ordered people to hold a banquet. Because Tokugawa Chihime is now a monk, Shang Yi also made a special order to prepare vegetarian rice for Tokugawa Chihime.

However, Tokugawa Chihime was born in a wealthy family after all, and both husbands were famous in Japan, so they naturally had a noble look and were very decent in language and behavior. Moreover, when Tokugawa Chihime was young, she was famous for her beauty. Although she is now middle-aged, she still remains as elegant as she was back then and looks more mature. In addition, she has become a monk for nearly ten years, and she has a transcendent and secular temperament. If she had hair now, she would never be inferior to Toyotomi Kaoru.

When Tokugawa Chihime remarried Honda Tadake, the incident of Naomo Sakazaki, the lord of Tsuno-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no

After everyone said a few words, Tokugawa Chihito said to Shang Yi: "Your Majesty, it is said that Pomni is a monk and should not be a pervert. But now it is related to Pomni's family, so I beg your Majesty to let the Tokugawa tribe go."

Shang Yi smiled and said, "Master, please don't worry. In fact, it was difficult to tell who is right and who is wrong in Toyotomi and Tokugawa families back then. Since Ah Kun also agreed not to pursue the Tokugawa family anymore, I can also guarantee that as long as the Tokugawa family can be settled in Japan in the future and no longer have any unfair thoughts, there will be no problem."

Hearing Shang Yi's personal promise, Tokugawa Chihito was finally completely relieved, so he saluted Shang Yi and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." Then he turned to Toyotomi Kaoru and said, "Thank you, Ah Xun."

Of course, Toyotomi Kaoru also knew that Shang Yi gave this favor to him so that he could establish a good relationship with his mother, so he hurriedly said: "Mother, I have not been able to be filial to my mother over the years. Even if I do some compensation for my mother, these things will be."

Tokugawa Chihiko also sighed and said, "Ah Xun, don't say that. You have indeed suffered a lot over the years. If you want to say sorry, it is also the Tokugawa family who is sorry for you. It is me, who is the mother, who has not fulfilled her mother's responsibilities."

At this time, Shang Yi said: "Okay, there is no need to mention the past. It is also a good thing for you, mother and daughter to reunite with each other. You should be happy. Let them all go through the past."

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Although the Chinese army had already gained an absolute advantage in Japan after the Sekigahara War, there were nearly 100 daimyos in the area east of Kofu, and nearly half of them did not surrender to the Chinese army. Among them were daimyos who were waiting and watching like Ida Takasun and Uesugi Takashi, as well as a large number of daimyos who were loyal to the Tokugawa Shogunate and were ready to fight against the Chinese army. Therefore, if conquered by force, it would take at least one or two months to conquer the city and land.

However, after the surrender of the Tokugawa Shogunate, Daming, who was on the verge of sight, really felt that the general trend had indeed gone. Daming, who was loyal to the Tokugawa Shogunate, also lost his position to continue to resist the Chinese army, so they all rushed to Kyoto and surrendered to the Chinese army. Therefore, after only more than ten days, most of the remaining Damings rushed to Kyoto to surrender. There were only three small vassals in the Hokkaido area. They ignored this and were completely resigned to fate. However, at this time, 206 Damings had gathered in Kyoto.

However, Ida Tsunazo and Uesugi Takashi, who had been swaying between the shogunate and the Shogunate, attempting to get everything and get everything in the best, came to this point and finally gave up completely. They knew that the general situation was gone and could not be changed. They did not have the courage to learn from the three small Hokkaido clans and ignored the Chinese army. They had to follow Shang Yi's request and only brought ten followers to Kyoto to apologize to the Chinese army. Of course, they were left to fate.

The Chinese army also treated these daimyos separately. Those daimyos who turned to the Tokugawa Shogunate and became enemies with the Chinese army, or daimyos who had always maintained a neutral attitude were also allowed to enter Kyoto and arrange to live in inns. Relatively speaking, the food and accommodation conditions were not bad. The daimyos, led by Ida Tsunazo and Uesugi Takashi, were swaying between the shogunate and the reversed shogunate, were sent to live together and restrict freedom, and the diet was much worse, which also expressed the attitude of the Chinese army.

These daimyos were also very regretful and blamed Ida Tsunazo and Uesugi Tsunazo, because most daimyos adopted this swaying attitude after listening to their words. Otherwise, at least half of them would have been to the depressed side. At this time, Ida Tsunazo and Uesugi Tsunazo and Uesugi Tsunazo even regretted their intestines. But at this point, there was nothing else to say, so they had to pretend to be deaf and mute and not say a word about all the questions.

On September 15, the Deputy Foreign Minister Zhang Yuan, two Foreign Ministers Li Zhi and Chen Huan, who were sent from China, also arrived in Kyoto, so they did not wait for the three Hokkaido little vassal daimyos, and immediately began the process of reshuffling Japan.

On September 16th, Emperor Shaoren summoned all 206 daimyos in the palace and officially announced that he would remove the positions of Tokugawa Ietsugu Sectar General and Left Minister, and also dismiss all officials of the Tokugawa Shogunate who served in the royal family. Because the Tokugawa Shogunate's family and the old and middle-aged officials generally held some middle- and senior official positions in the royal family. Although they were just empty titles, they also seemed noble.

Of course, there will be rewards if there is punishment. Later, Shaoren also appointed Ono Temple among the Toyotomi Shemen as the Danayan, and helped Emon, Naito Masatomoto as the Nakayan, Ishida Yoshizuki and Takasaka Gengoro as the Shaonayan, and these five people are the backbone of the Toyotomi Shemen. In addition, the left and right ministers, Inner Ministers, Mori Hirotsuka, Katsushima, and Arima Tadara, these eight people are now the highest ruling officials in Japan in the famous discussion, and also named Mizuno Kyuro, Yamamoto Ten Bingwei as the left and right guard generals, that is, the emperor's chief general of the waiting guard. Of course, they are also void now, because the emperor has any army now, and the other twenty main Toyotomi, the other twenty main Toyotomi, also have rewards.

After the seal was completed, 206 daimyos also bowed to the emperor and thanked him. Shaoren also ordered eight ruling officials to resolve the re-election of all daimyos in Japan, which was actually a new power re-dividing of Japan. In addition, formal negotiations with the Chinese messengers to establish relations between the two countries, diplomatic rituals, trade, tariffs and other issues, and sign a treaty.

Shang Yi did not participate in these things. Anyway, as long as he followed his script, it didn't matter whether he was present or not. Forget this face to Shaoren. He just lived in Nijo City. When he was fine, he would look at the cherry blossoms and climbed to the Shoutian Pavilion to enjoy the scenery of Kyoto. He wouldn't just study the situation in the South China Sea with Alisandra and Sekijin, while Toyotomi Kaoru talked with his mother and sister every day, and sometimes he would also travel around Kyoto.

During this period, Emperor Shaoren finally found some feeling of becoming the emperor, because more than 200 daimyos gathered in Kyoto at the same time to worship him. This has never happened even after the Emperor lost power.

This was the first time that the four generals of Tokugawa Shogunate, Tokugawa Ietsunobu, and all the retainers, knelt in front of them in fear and fear, allowing them to dismiss their positions. Shaoren also felt that only at this moment could he be truly the emperor of Japan, and at the same time, he felt from the heart that when the Chinese army came to Japan, it would be more beneficial to him than to hold back.

Although the Chinese army forcibly robbed Shao Ren's jade seal and issued orders under Shao Ren's famous proposal, which made Shao Ren very angry at one time, but now Shao Ren is relieved. After all, it was a special period, and it is inevitable that the Chinese army will do something extraordinary.

Moreover, after Shang Yi came to Kyoto, he was polite and respectful to Shaoren. He did not rely on the power of the Celestial Kingdom to be arrogant and took great care of Shaoren's image very much, and did not embarrass Shaoren. Because he maintained Shaoren's authority in front of Japanese names, he also asked them to visit Shaoren, which gave Shaoren enough face. This was much better than the Tokugawa shogunate, so Shaoren's attitude towards the Chinese army was greatly improved. Because he was sincerely admired Shang Yi, he was indeed humble and indeed tolerant. Therefore, Shaoren's heart also changed. He believed that it was a good thing for the Chinese army to come to Japan. Maybe the Emperor could take the opportunity to increase some political power.

But on the next day, Shao Ren's illusory beauty was shattered by the iron reality.
