Chapter 329 The Real Noble

This is no longer a step down.

But for fear that the Ryukyu King could not find the steps, he quickly bent down and made a step, fearing that the Ryukyu King would fall to his death.

Angels cannot convict the King of Ryukyu, and Zhao Baiquan doesn't want Liu Yu to go too far - go directly to the vassals to arrest the county king. Since Liu Yu is now in heaven, he will definitely be rewarded but not punished. Wouldn't that encourage all the generals to learn from Liu? Yu?
Anyway, you can make meritorious service in war, and you can become a prince and become a prime minister if you are good at it, so you can't fight hard?It is even possible that the chieftain did not rebel and forced him to rebel, and the loyal vassals forced him to rebel.

This Dashun is really about to die by force...

Liu Yu could probably guess what Zhao Baiquan was thinking, and said in his heart that it's really kind of you to give this step.

Kneeling on the ground, Shang Jing did not dare to raise his head, the first thing he thought of was not Tianchao, but his own brother, this was the greatest threat.The emperor will protect the vassal's land and will not take Ryukyu by force, but his younger brother has a very good relationship with the previous angel.

Thinking of this, he immediately raised his head and knocked heavily on the ground.

When he kowtowed, when his head touched the ground, he quickly wiped away bloodstains, until the blood flowed out and wet his eyes, and then he cried to Longting: "I am guilty! I am guilty! I am guilty! Don’t you think about the enmity of your ancestors and the hatred of your family and country day and night?”

"However, the Japanese guards are very strict, and the minister can only imitate Goujian's story and endure the humiliation to seek opportunities."

When he was crying, Cai Wenpu, an old minister behind him, secretly sighed, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense. It's not like you don't have a chance. Our country sent people to study in the Imperial College and Imperial Hospital.If you say that, don't you add crime to crime?
Deputy envoy Zhao Baiquan also felt that the Ryukyu King's words were too nonsense, and it was okay to give them a step, but he couldn't play the emperor's envoy as a fool, at least he had to be careful when making up lies.I still bear the responsibility. After returning, the emperor asked me, why do you believe such an obvious lie, and you don’t have to mess around in the future.

"King of Zhongshan, even though the Japanese are under strict surveillance, the Cao bandits were so brutal in the past, and they still had the act of offering clothes to the emperor. Although the Japanese are intimidating, Ryukyu also sends many Confucian students to the Imperial Academy to study. Could it be that these people are learning from the Imperial Academy the principles of loyalty to the emperor? I don’t know anything about Ryukyu? Is it possible that Zhongshan King can’t secretly tell them to report Ryukyu to the emperor? Or is it that the people from Ryukyu who go to the Imperial College to study are all chosen by the Japanese?”

These words were just admonishing King Zhongshan, but to Cai Wenpu, who had studied in the Imperial College, he heard them all scolding him.

Thinking about what Zhao Baiquan said just now about having no king and no father, this is really an unacceptable humiliation for a Confucian scholar who has read a lot of poetry and books.

Thinking about the wrath of the Celestial Dynasty this time, it was obviously prepared, Cai Wenpu let out a long sigh.

Thinking about the words of the sages, the righteousness of loyalty to the emperor, and the heart of the king, the king, the old minister can only help you for the last time.

He suddenly raised his gray head, exerted all his strength, and slammed into the ground.

He is begging for death, not acting.

He was also nearly seventy years old, and his brain burst immediately after the impact, and he died on the spot.

When the scene was in chaos, Shang Jing looked at Cai Wenpu's head in a pool of blood and knew that it was impossible for him to come back to life, so he said without hesitation: "When I was the son of the prince in the past, Cai Wenpu went to Beijing to study at the Guozijian, and the minister's secret envoy told him Son of Heaven, tell me about the misfortune of the Japanese."

Speaking of this, the dozens of lives of Cai Wenpu's family and children flashed through his mind, but he didn't care about so many.

"This time the angels came to Xiaobang, the heavenly soldiers lined up, and the majestic, I thought that the heavenly court came to uphold justice for the ministers. Cai Wenpu asked the ministers to be patient, and said that he had secretly reported this matter to the heavens when he was in the Imperial College. It is embarrassing. Could it be that there was nothing like this? Or maybe he had an affair with the Japanese, concealed it and refused to report it, but came to deceive me and reported it to Heaven?"

Liu Yu sniffed the smell of blood in the air, and silently gave Shang Jing a thumbs up in his heart, thinking that he was indeed a nobleman, and the basic skills of being a nobleman were very solid.

He didn't tell the truth, just listened to Shang Jing's nonchalant nonsense, now the only witness is dead, so it's up to you?
Zhao Baiquan didn't have a deep understanding of the situation in Ryukyu, and he didn't know if it was true or not, but he knew that he should believe it at this time.

Facts are no reason to believe.

But the steps are still not enough, he said again: "King Zhongshan, if you really have the heart, can't you send someone to take a small boat to the Celestial Dynasty?"

"The angels don't know that the Sazhou Japanese are very strict. They control the tribute ships and their contents. Although the minister has the heart to protect the heavenly family, the country's small soldiers are weak. There are less than a thousand soldiers, so they are really powerless. Now that the heavenly soldiers have arrived and the angels have come, the enmity of our country and the hatred of our ancestors can be restored!"

He kowtowed to the ground a few more times, and cried: "I know that I have committed a capital crime, and I would like to invite Your Majesty Chen to face me. If I can restore the Ryukyu Ancestral Temple and the country, I will die without regret! I can't avenge my crime if I die, I'm afraid there will be nothing after death." Have a face to see the ancestors!"

After crying a few more times, fainted on the ground, and got up again, there was really the sorrow of cuckoo crying blood, and the sigh of Chang Honghuabi.

Liu Yu kept silent, listening was really boring.

Bored to the extreme, he lowered his head, watching the blood from the dead Cai Wenpu slowly gather in the distance, staring at a brick crack in the distance, thinking that he seems to have a bit of hyperlipidemia, otherwise it should have flowed to the brick crack. .

Looking at Shang Jing again, he couldn't help coughing, feeling almost over.

This time he definitely wants to arrest Shang Jing, not for the emperor's face, but for the Westerners to see: within the Chixian Shenzhou barrier, the tributary system is equivalent to the territory, and the emperor has the right to dispose of any tributary king.

Let Westerners recognize the internal legal principles of the Celestial Dynasty. In the future, it will not be possible to directly deal with the tributary countries announced by the Celestial Empire, and they have to go to the capital.The emperor of the Celestial Dynasty is the common emperor of China, Korea, Ryukyu and other countries, not the king of the Han-Fari kingdom on the map made by those missionaries.

No country in this world is qualified to be an emperor, but the Five Hegemons can still get together.Although it is not proper for the five hegemons to rule on etiquette, it is the only way to go.

If the Celestial Dynasty system wants to make a smooth transition to the Westphalian system, it is necessary to figure out what a vassal is?Is it a colony?Is it a vassal state?Or a divided country?United States?Or is it none of the four, but a transcendent and special existence with geographical meaning and unreasonable meaning?

These all need to sign treaties with the four of the future "Five Hegemons", make it clear, and be recognized by major countries.Whether it is reasonable or unreasonable, it is naturally reasonable to have the facts first and then formulate "international law".

North Korea is too "loyal", there is no excuse, and this Ryukyu just hit the muzzle of the gun, so I want to use him as a demonstration.

How can I prove that this is my son? The household registration could have been forged, but if I beat the child in front of outsiders, and the child cried and called his father, I knew it was wrong, so I should be able to prove it.

The Ryukyu King didn't know that he had to bear such a great significance, and all he thought about was how to get rid of the crime.

He didn't dare to look up at Liu Yu and Zhao Baiquan, thinking in his heart that this time he would go to the Celestial Dynasty no matter what, and come to a wave of restraint to plead guilty.

If you go to the Celestial Dynasty, you may die.

But if you stay in Ryukyu, you will definitely die.

According to the previous rules, if such a big event happened, the prince or brother should be sent to the heavenly court.But at this time, whether it is Pai Shizi or Pai Wangdi, it is very dangerous.

This moment, that moment.

The Ryukyu small country, the status of the tributary country was given by the Celestial Dynasty.In the past, when sending the prince or younger brother, the Celestial Dynasty had to abide by the rules of etiquette. Not only would it not change its mind, but it would maintain the Ryukyu king who ruled in Ryukyu. This is called etiquette.

But now, if he sends his son or younger brother, if the younger brother performs extremely well in front of the emperor and puts all the responsibility on himself, the Ryukyu king, can he still be the Ryukyu king?At that time, the emperor will deprive the Ryukyu king of Shangjing of his unfaithfulness and filial piety, and grant the prince to show off his younger brother or son in front of the emperor. Will he be ruined?

And if he went to the Celestial Dynasty, staying in Ryukyu was only a regent or supervisor in the name, as long as the emperor forgives, his throne will still be stable.

Thinking of this, he also strengthened his mind, knowing that he might die if he went to the Celestial Dynasty, but he could only take a gamble.

"Your servant failed the grace of heaven, please meet the emperor yourself, and confess your guilt. Please also ask the angel for permission!"

Just as Zhao Baiquan was about to speak, Liu Yu coughed lightly, stopping what Zhao Baiquan wanted to say.

The scene gradually quieted down, and no one made a sound, until a person came hurriedly outside and whispered a few words in Liu Yu's ear.

"My lord, we have controlled the Naha fort. The Ryukyu people did not resist. The smoke has also risen. The warships outside will arrive at about noon."

"The cannons on the fort are very old, and they are all iron, not copper. We didn't dismantle them either. It's useless."

Liu Yu nodded to indicate that he knew, and then looked down at the Ryukyu King.

At this time, the Ryukyu King also happened to look up at Liu Yu quietly, wondering what the man who came in suddenly said, and what would happen to his own fate?

Zhao Baiquan was also looking at Liu Yu, and he was responsible for the talk.But how does the Ryukyu king deal with it? Liu Yu is the envoy. He will not object to what Liu Yu does now. This matter, the Ryukyu side has done too much. , to deceive the emperor, and even a large number of foreign warriors in the court, this is not Ling Chi, that really regards the king's law as nothing.

Liu Yu took out his pocket watch to check the time. There were still three hours before noon, and he was not in a hurry.

"King Zhongshan, the emperor sent us here this time to inquire about the affairs of the Ryukyu state. You are a vassal of the Celestial Dynasty, and only the emperor has the right to deal with it. Since you have the heart to bind yourself to the capital to plead guilty, although you have the sincerity, the sincerity is only visible in the form Yu quality."

"Come on! Pen and ink!"

The pen, ink, paper and inkstone have already been prepared, but now the emperor’s Dragon Pavilion is still there, and he can’t write while sitting or standing. The person who holds the pen has to kneel on the ground, facing the empty Dragon Pavilion, which symbolizes imperial power, and spread the paper. on the ground.

"King Zhongshan, please. Where did the Japanese practice in Ryukyu? How many warriors were stationed? Where did they live? How many people in the court were loyal and how many were traitors? How many were controlled by the Japanese? How many originated from the Japanese order to be an official?"

"Although Ryukyu is far away, the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty are still within reach. The Japanese are rude, and the emperor will punish them. It will be too late when the Sixth Division moves there."

After talking to the Ryukyu King, he said again: "Shang Che, brother of King Zhongshan!"

Shocked, Shang Che hurriedly said, "Yes!"

"The last time the emperor was canonized, the angel returned to you and praised you a lot. He said that you are quite literary and have an excellent memory. It seems to be true. King Zhongshan is old, and I am afraid that some people can't remember clearly. You might as well help him recall the memory. Come, send the younger brother of King Zhongshan to the side room, and write a list."

"There are also officials above the Zijin doctor of the Ryukyu Kingdom, who also help the prince to recall memories, so as not to slip through the net. Send them away."
