My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 339 False and True

In a separate interrogation room, Zhu Zhanhe asked someone to prepare a table of meals. Ge Cheng Erlang sat at the table, gorging himself unceremoniously. He hadn't eaten since he was arrested, and he was very hungry.

Zhu Zhanhe sat opposite Ge Cheng Erlang, secretly thinking about what the other party said.

In order to survive, Ge Cheng Erlang told all the information he knew about Kyushu, and also made a suggestion to Zhu Zhanhe.

Although the war between the Southern and Northern Dynasties in Japan was over, Kyushu was the headquarters of the Southern Dynasties, and many people still had their hearts towards the Southern Dynasties. There were still many old aristocratic forces in the Southern Dynasties who were secretly operating in an attempt to overthrow the Ashikaga shogunate.

Especially after the death of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, his son Ashikaga Yoshimitsu became a general. Many people are saying that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was preparing to arrange the abolition of the emperor himself, which intensified the contradiction between the old nobles and the shogunate in the Southern Dynasty.

Even in some areas that were originally loyal to the Southern Dynasty, they raised troops one after another and resisted the order of the shogunate. The dispute between the Northern and Southern Dynasties, which was finally resolved, seemed to be split again.

And Ge Chengerlang's suggestion was to let Daming send troops in the name of supporting the Southern Dynasty, and put out a puppet as a counter, saying that the royal family of the Southern Dynasty asked Daming for help, and as the suzerain of the Wa Kingdom, Daming had the obligation to resolve the disputes within the Wa Kingdom.

Under the banner of supporting the Southern Dynasties, it can greatly reduce the rejection of Ming Dynasty within the Wa Kingdom, so that Zhu Zhanhe and the others can take Kyushu more smoothly.

"If you want to use the banner of supporting the Southern Dynasty, you must choose a suitable puppet. Do you have a suitable candidate in mind?"

Zhu Zhanhe saw that Ge Chengerlang had almost eaten, so he asked him.

"Yes, what do you think of me?"

Ge Cheng Erlang wiped the oil from his mouth and said with a serious expression.

"You? Don't tell me, you are from the royal family of the Southern Dynasty?"

Zhu Zhanhe looked at Ge Chengerlang with a bit of disgust, this guy is the leader of the Japanese pirates, and his background is not high, so he definitely has nothing to do with the royal family of the Japanese country.

"My son, there are so many heirs of the emperor, especially the imperial family of the Southern Dynasty. After the war, many people were separated. For example, the two sons of Emperor Go-Daigo have not been found until now, so the identity of the imperial family is actually a matter of one sentence. If you say that I am the Japanese royal family, then I am the royal family, and I dare to call myself the royal family, and I have my own reasons."

Ge Chengerlang smiled complacently at the end, as if he had any other support?
"What reason do you have?"

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanhe asked curiously again.

"When I was a pirate, many Japanese people went to seek refuge, and even some desperate nobles chose to go to sea. Among these people, one was the son of Prince Huailiang, and his name was Kuanhe. , about the same age as me!"

Gecheng Erlang said again.

"Then where is Kuanhe now?"

Zhu Zhanhe asked immediately.

"Dead, I killed it with my own hands, and threw the body into the sea to feed the sharks."

Ge Chengerlang replied with a hey smile.

At the beginning, that Kuanhe fled overseas, relying on his royal status, he wanted to seize the power in the hands of Ge Cheng Erlang, but Ge Cheng Erlang killed him without hesitation, and all the people around him were also killed.

"It's a good idea to send troops to Kyushu in the name of Prince Huailiang's son, but do you have any evidence to prove that you are the son of Prince Huailiang?"

Zhu Zhanhe asked again, if there is a proof, it will be more trustworthy.

"I don't have one, but you do, my son!"

Unexpectedly, Ge Cheng Erlang pointed at Zhu Zhanhe and said with a smile.

"I have?"

Zhu Zhanhe was taken aback, not understanding what the other party meant?
"My son, think about it. At the beginning, Emperor Taizu wrote a letter to Prince Huailiang, and I heard that he gave him a seal. As far as I know, these things have long since disappeared in the chaos of war, so as long as you make another A seal, say that it was given to Prince Huailiang by Emperor Taizu back then, and I, Prince Huailiang's son, took it away, and then asked Daming for help, wouldn't it be seamless?"

Ge Chengerlang confided all his plans, and it must be said that he was really quick-witted, and he came up with such a thorough plan in a short period of time.

"You really have a way. You can forge a piece of evidence without evidence."

After hearing this, Zhu Zhanhe also had to praise, although the seal was forged, others couldn't tell the real from the fake, because the seal was originally a reward from Ming Dynasty, and now it is just a replacement for him, even if the Japanese still have the real one. Yes, but as long as Zhu Zhanhe says a word, the truth can become false, and the false becomes true instead.

"Thank you for your praise, the villain has nothing but to serve Daming, make up for the mistakes he made before, and at the same time save the villain's life!"

Gecheng Erlang replied sincerely again.

Regarding Ge Cheng Erlang's words, Zhu Zhanhe didn't believe a single word. Maybe he was trying to save his life now, but when he has strength in the future, he will definitely betray Daming.

But these are not important, what is important is that Ge Cheng Erlang is indeed useful to him now, and his method is also very feasible.

It is not difficult to pretend to be the royal family of the Wa Kingdom. As Gecheng Erlang said, the royal family has a large population, coupled with the war, it is not easy to distinguish. For example, the famous monk Ikyu in the history of the Wa Kingdom is said to be the illegitimate son of Emperor Komatsu.

Speaking of Monk Yixiu, Zhu Zhanhe suddenly thought that Yixiu seems to be in his 20s now. His original name was Zhou Jian, but later he changed his name to Yixiu Zongchun. Maybe we will see him again in the future.

"You rest here first, I need to think about your proposal before I can make a decision!"

Finally, Zhu Zhanhe pondered for a while before opening his mouth.

"Yes, the villain is here waiting for the good news of the son!"

Ge Cheng Erlang nodded immediately.

Although Zhu Zhanhe didn't agree on the spot, Ge Chengerlang had already seen that Zhu Zhanhe was actually very moved, and his plan was very feasible, so Zhu Zhanhe would definitely agree to his plan in the end.

In fact, Ge Chengerlang guessed right, Zhu Zhanhe was really tempted, if he could really enter Kyushu in the name of Prince Huailiang's son, at least he would have a moral advantage, and the Japanese would be more accepting of them.

After all, the area of ​​Kyushu is not small, almost as large as two or three state capitals, and there are many residents on the island. It is impossible for Zhu Zhanhe to kill everyone, so if he wants to rule Kyushu in the future, he will have a moral advantage. More convenient.

Of course, it is impossible for Zhu Zhanhe to decide on such a big matter by himself, so he immediately went to Zhang Fu and the others to ask for their opinions.
