At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 523 Mr. Talent
To be honest, Sun Changhe was not used to this kneeling posture.

It's okay to kneel, you are the king and I am the minister, and kneeling on you is also considered a courtesy of the king and the minister.

You can sit if you want. I am an envoy of the Ming Dynasty, I am also a well-known Confucian master, and I am your guest of honor. Give me a seat to show how much you value me.

However, kneeling is not kneeling, sitting is not sitting, it is very uncomfortable.

Emperor Yanren didn't notice Sun Changhe's discomfort, but said with eager eyes: "Sir, you are a talented person, I want to ask you for advice!"

Sun Changhe suddenly bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, don't call yourself me, you should call me Zhen."

Emperor Hikohito was stunned for a moment, looked at Ichiyo Kaneyoshi, and asked, "Why?"

Yiyi Jianliang explained: "The emperor of the Ming Dynasty called himself Zhen, which is a kind of etiquette and a symbol of imperial power."

"I see!"

Emperor Hikohito's eyes flashed with a strange light. Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, the Wa Kingdom has always been a subsidiary state of the Central Plains Dynasty, and has always played the role of a younger brother.

What an honor to call myself me?

The emperor of Ming Dynasty can do it, why can't I?
"Okay, I... I will ask you to teach me etiquette."

Hearing Emperor Hikohito's change of words, Ichijo Kaneko's heart was completely cold. If you dare to call yourself Zhen, it means that you no longer recognize that you are a vassal state of Ming Dynasty, but are on par with it.

My Majesty the Emperor, how dare you look at how much you weigh and what level you are, and be the same as others?

Only one Shi Heng led hundreds of people, and he subdued the entire Japanese government. Now you dare to take the initiative to do things, do you think you have a long life?
"Your Majesty, it's not appropriate to call him that..."

He is an honest man, and when he thought of the imminent consequences, he hurried to persuade him.

Emperor Hikohito's face became a little ugly, and he asked, "What's wrong?"

"If the Emperor Ming knows, he will think that His Majesty is overstepping. I'm afraid..."

"One piece, my brother, don't worry!"

Sun Changhe suddenly said: "Wa Kingdom and Ming Dynasty have the same origin, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty can call himself Zhen, why can't His Majesty the Emperor?"

Yiyi Jianliang frowned tightly, and said: "Since the Hongwu Dynasty to the present, the Wa Kingdom has always been a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, if the rules are broken..."

"Rules are made by people, and they are also used to break. Emperor Hongwu was born as a commoner, so he also became the Ninth Five-Year King?"

"But……"

"One thing, my brother, don't underestimate yourself. I think His Majesty the Emperor has the appearance of being the ruler of the world. The position of Datong is originally for the virtuous. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty has lost his virtue. One will fade away and the other will grow. He will discipline the world for at least ten years. Change of owner!"

These words stunned Jianliang for a moment, why does it feel like a dream, this guy can't be fooling people, right?
However, Sun Changhe was calm and relaxed. He didn't know that verbal disputes were his best skills, and when he first started exerting his strength, he depressed a Jianliang.

Emperor Hikohito couldn't help laughing and said: "Sir, you are really a great talent, I... I have been taught!"

Sun Changhe bowed his fists and said: "His Majesty the Emperor is the king of ten thousand chariots, such trivial skills as old people are nothing to worry about."

Emperor Yanren was even more excited when he heard the words, and said: "How can I win the position of Datong, please enlighten me, sir!"

Sun Changhe smiled secretively, and then said: "As the saying goes, if the name is not correct, the words will not go well. If you want to become a princess in the world, you first need to have a resounding country name. Please forgive me for saying it bluntly, the word Japanese is not suitable."

Yiyi Jianliang said: "The name of the country of Wa originated from the Han Dynasty. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, our country paid tribute to the Central Plains, and Emperor Wu of the Han personally gave it the name Wa."

Sun Changhe smiled disapprovingly, and said: "The Japanese character has the meaning of small and vulgar in Chinese. If His Majesty the Emperor rules the world, how can this name be so powerful?"

Emperor Hikohito nodded, and said, "In my opinion, what should I change it to?"

Sun Changhe pondered for a while, and then said: "This is the place where the sun rises in the East China Sea. The Book of Mountains and Seas records that there are hibiscus trees in the East China Sea. The tree is thousands of feet long and has a circumference of more than a thousand. The two trunks have the same root and are more dependent on each other. This is where the sun comes from. "

"The word Fusang means the place where the sun rises. It is better to change the name to Fusang Empire."

Emperor Hikohito's eyes lit up, and he murmured: "Fuso, the place where the sun rises...well, it will be called the Fuso Empire, Ichijo Kaneyo, and an edict will be issued tomorrow, and the name will be changed to the Fuso Empire!"

Ichiyo Kaneyo was surprised: "Your Majesty, do you think about it again..."

"Don't think about it, I like this name!"

"According to what I see, it is still necessary to call all guardian daimyos to discuss together before..."

"I mean, what right do they have to intervene?"

Emperor Hikohito suddenly lowered his face, and his tone of voice became cold.

Ichijo Kaneyo had no choice but to look at Ashikaga Yoshimasa, hoping that he could persuade him.

Unexpectedly, Ashikaga Yoshimasa nodded and said: "Fuso Empire, what a name, congratulations to His Majesty the Emperor!"

Only then did Emperor Hikohito smile again, and said, "It's all thanks to Mr., who is the greatest contributor to the empire!"

Sun Changhe kowtowed again: "Thank you Your Majesty for your grace, I am ashamed to be an old man!"

Ichijo Kaneyoshi's heart is cold at this time, in just one day, he has become the biggest hero!
He is a little suspicious of life now. Is it a good thing or a bad thing to bring Confucian scholars across the ocean to come here?
Emperor Hikohito continued: "After the empire is renamed, it is necessary to formulate new etiquette laws first. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Sun Changhe was calm on the surface, but waves were already rising in his heart.

Enacting court etiquette means that one has entered the center of power.

This is the dream he dreamed of in the Ming Dynasty, but he couldn't satisfy it!
"Your Majesty, what is etiquette?"

"Please teach me, sir!"

"Etiquette and law are the foundation of governing the country. Regardless of the right time and place, my Fusang Empire is a hundred times better than the Central Plains, but it has been a vassal of the Central Plains Dynasty for thousands of years. The biggest problem is that the ritual system is not complete and the legal system is not good."

Emperor Hikohito's eyes were filled with anticipation, waiting for him to continue speaking.

Sun Changhe remained calm, and continued: "Your Majesty is the ruler of a country, and his subordinates are ministers, and the ministers are headed by the prime minister. Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, the left and right prime ministers have led all officials to work together, and the world can enjoy long-term peace and stability."

Emperor Hikohito hurriedly said: "We also have one, Kaneshi Kaneyoshi, he is also very capable."

"If the name is not correct, the words will not go well. The word Guanbai is taken from the meaning of statement in the Central Plains. To put it in a more popular way, it is a messenger. How can you lead the officials?"

"Then Mr. means..."

"Your Majesty should set up the right and left prime ministers to rectify the names of all officials. This is one of them."

Emperor Hikohito frowned and thought for a moment, then quickly made up his mind and said: "In this case, I will issue an edict tomorrow to enshrine Ichigo Kaneyoshi as Prime Minister of the Left and Mr. as Prime Minister of the Right to govern the empire together!"

Sun Changhe was overjoyed in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it, and continued: "I didn't come here this time for fame and fortune, thank you Your Majesty for your kindness!"

"Sir, don't refuse, the position of the right prime minister is none other than Mr.!"

Sun Changhe showed embarrassment, and said: "If Your Majesty insists on this, it will appear that the old man will not know how to advance or retreat if he refuses again. Thank Your Majesty in advance!"

Emperor Hikohito waved his hand and said, "It's my good fortune to have you help me so much, sir, please continue to explain the etiquette."

Sun Changhe nodded slightly, and said: "The etiquette and law of the country are important matters. I dare not be good at it. It's just that I have learned a lot from studying for decades. If there is something wrong with this statement today, I hope your majesty will not blame it."

"Speaking!"

"First, change the name of the country to Fusang and formulate a calendar. I have already mentioned it, so I won't repeat it."

"Secondly, the Ministry of Rites should be set up under the empire to promote the Four Books and Five Classics, and teach the world to understand the etiquette of rulers, ministers, fathers and sons."

"Thirdly, I heard along the way that Fusang has different languages, different weights and measures, and different gods they believe in. If things go on like this, it may not be the blessing of the community. Different gods are under unified management."

Emperor Hikohito kept nodding his head. Hearing this, he hesitated a little, and asked, "There are great language differences in this country. How to determine the elegant words is a problem."

"Your Majesty might as well promote Chinese."

"Chinese……"

Emperor Hikohito became more hesitant, hesitating in his heart.

Sun Changhe explained: "Today's Han people are not from the Central Plains, but Zhou people from the Guanlong area. They drove away the merchants and entered the Central Plains. They became the Han people today. Although your majesty is from Fusang, the king of Fusang Why not take over the Central Plains?"

"The rites of sages and sages are all written in Chinese. Your Majesty may wish to establish Chinese language as an elegant language and issue an edict to promote it so that the way of etiquette can be widely spread."

Seeing that Emperor Hikohito remained silent, Sun Changhe continued: "I will give you an example. The guardian daimyos in Fusang, who have an army in their hands, are often ambitious and even disrespectful to His Majesty. The only way to promote etiquette is to order Officials who have learned the etiquette go to various places to monitor, these talents dare not make mistakes, and the world can enjoy long-term peace and stability."

Emperor Hikohito was still hesitating, but when he heard Sun Changhe mentioning famous names from various places, his eyes immediately became determined.

"Sir, you are right. Etiquette is the foundation of a country, and it must be promoted immediately!"

Yiyi Jianliang said: "Your Majesty, the current situation of our country is like this. If you want to change, you should do it slowly. There is no rush!"

But Sun Changhe said: "Those who have perseverance can achieve things. Your Majesty has the will to change the course. Although it is difficult, it is the long-term way for the Fusang Kingdom. As long as the determination is made, why not?"

Yiyi Jianliang still shook his head and said: "This matter concerns the country, please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Faced with the different opinions of the new left and right prime ministers, Emperor Hikohito couldn't help standing up and kept pacing back and forth.

Unconsciously, he imagined the gestures of those daimyos and those extremely respectful Confucian scholars in his mind.

In comparison, it's a world of difference.

He doesn't want to see his power challenged, he wants to obey!
Only by constantly upgrading the power in your hands can you be daunting and become the real king of a country!
"I've decided!"

Emperor Hikohito closed his eyes slightly, and said: "The two prime ministers will start to formulate a new law immediately and promulgate it to the world!"

Yiyi Jianliang was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, if the guardian daimyos in various places do not support the new law, what should we do?"

"It's easy!"

Sun Changhe said indifferently: "Those who resist the decree and are disrespectful will be killed without mercy!"

Emperor Hikohito's expression turned serious, and said: "Sir, you are right, those who do not follow will be killed without mercy!"

Seeing the killing intent flashing in his eyes, Sun Changhe felt ecstasy in his heart.

After looking forward to it for 50 years, it finally came to fruition.

Daming's dog emperor doesn't want me, so what?

In Fusang Kingdom, I can also step into the room and become a high-ranking Prime Minister of the Right.

The time has come to show off my skills. From now on, the world will remember my name, Sun Changhe!
The conversation ended late at night, and Kaneyoshi left with a dark face, while Sun Changhe followed Ashikaga Yoshimasa out of the palace and came to a brothel.

Seeing the gorgeous Fusang woman, his heart was agitated.

It is good to be a superior person, no matter where you go, there are people to serve you.

However, Ashikaga Yoshimasa led him to the room, but closed the door behind his back, showing no intention of leaving.

Sun Changhe soon realized that something was wrong, and asked, "Your Majesty Ashikaga, do you have something to say?"

"It's nothing, let's have a drink or two with my husband."

There was prepared sake on the low table, Ashikaga Yoshimasa knelt down and poured two glasses of wine.

Sun Changhe had no choice but to kneel and sit opposite him, and asked again: "Your Excellency Ashikaga speaks Chinese well."

"is it?"

Ashikaga Yoshimasa raised his wine glass and said indifferently: "Compared to His Majesty's Chinese, how is it?"

Sun Changhe was startled, knowing that these words must have deep meaning.

Before coming here, he had already figured out the situation, the actual control of the Wa country was actually in the hands of the young man in front of him.

The Ashikaga family controls Kyoto, which also controls the emperor.

This situation is somewhat similar to Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms period.

The difference is that the local daimyos do not have the strength to separatize one side, and they have to obey the emperor's orders.

Therefore, the Ashikaga family cannot be blatantly replaced.

The name of the emperor, like the emperor in the Central Plains, is a myth of himself to strengthen the rule.

The emperor of the Central Plains said that he was the real dragon emperor, while the emperor of the Wa country claimed to be the descendant of the Rizhao God, so he was called the emperor, which sounds very tall.

In fact, there is no absolute dominance. Without the consent of the Ashikaga shogunate, the emperor's edict would not be able to get out of Kyoto.

Sun Changhe thought about it quickly, and then said: "Of course, His Excellency Ashikaga's Chinese is better."

Ashikaga Yoshimasa showed a smile on his face, and said: "Mr. Jing... No, he is the right prime minister of the Fuso Empire, please!"

"Please!"

Sun Changhe picked up his wine glass and drank it down in one gulp!

Ashikaga Yoshimasa filled the two cups with wine again, and said, "What do You Cheng think about the current situation?"

Sun Changhe pondered for a moment, and said: "I just said that the old man has said that the great people in the world belong to the virtuous."

Ashikaga Yoshimasa's eyes sparkled, and he asked again: "What is virtue?"

Sun Changhe was still silent first, and then said: "The world is not a world of one person, but a world of people in the world. Therefore, destiny is impermanent, and only family members have virtue."

Ashikaga Yoshimasa seemed to have got the answer, and continued to ask: "If the superior has no virtue, what should I do?"

Sun Changhe's face changed, and after a long time, he said: "The poem says: Yin Zhi has not lost his teacher, but he is worthy of God. The rituals are supervised by Yin, and life is not easy. If you win the way, you will win the country, and if you lose the crowd, you will lose the country. That's why a gentleman should first be cautious about virtue."

Ashikaga Yoshimasa finished listening silently, and then raised his glass: "Please!"

"Please!"

Sun Changhe smiled calmly and drank it down again.
