Hirohito Hiroichi stared at Chiba Sora fiercely for a long time, but finally suppressed his anger.
Because what Qianye Kong said was all right. It was he, the incompetent emperor, who asked her to go to the Ming army camp. Moreover, he did have the idea of letting her sleep with Zhang Wuji so as to persuade him to reduce some war reparations.
Your own queen listened to you and now comes to blame others. The emperor has behaved like this, and even Hirohito himself feels ashamed.
…
After taking two breaths and calming down, Hirohito Hiroichi slowly said: "Well, what happened before is all in the past. I don't want to mention it again. Then Queen, can you tell me what you did during the two days you went to the Ming army camp?"
After Hirohito finished speaking, he felt something was wrong, and then quickly added: "I am not asking about the private matters between you and Zhang Wuji, but about the preferential conditions you have obtained for our great Japan."
Qianye Kong smiled and said, "So this is what Your Majesty wants to ask about."
"Zhang Wuji said that if he wants to withdraw his troops, he needs 15 million taels of gold and 200 million taels of silver. If you can come up with this money, he will withdraw his troops."
When Hirohito heard this, he could not believe his ears: "What did you say?"
Qianye Kong smiled and said, "I believe Your Majesty should have heard what I said clearly. Zhang Wuji's condition for withdrawing his troops is 15 million taels of gold and 200 million taels of silver."
After confirming Chiba Sora's words, Hirohito Hiroichi laughed out loud: "Hahahaha..."
"Queen, you are not kidding me, are you?"
"You slept with Zhang Wuji for two days, but how come the war reparations doubled?"
"Could it be that the two of you have already colluded with each other? Or, have you completely switched sides to him?"
After hearing this, Qianye Kong's smile suddenly froze for a moment, but in just a moment she returned to her original appearance.
"Your Majesty, you are joking. If I say that I did not slept with Zhang Wuji, I am afraid you will not believe it, because after all, I stayed in the Ming army camp for two days."
"On the issue of war reparations, I have really done my best."
"After all, of the four conditions Zhang Wuji proposed earlier, the last three were completely waived."
Hirohito said, "But even if I search the whole of Japan, I can't come up with so much gold and silver. Did Zhang Wuji say that I can use other things to pay off the debt?"
Chiba Sora could clearly feel that the "other thing" in Hirohito Hiroichi's mouth was referring to himself.
"Your Majesty, there are not many things in this world that can last forever. Real gold and silver is one of them, but it is different for women. Today I am the most beautiful woman in Japan, but how can I still be the most beautiful woman in Japan ten years later?"
"Besides, there are so many beautiful women around Zhang Wuji, and there are so many who are as pretty as me."
"Even the former Empress of the Yuan Dynasty is now just one of his many women. She has been an empress, a queen, and a queen mother. Her status is much more noble than mine. If he really had any feelings for me, why would he let me come back?"
Hirohito was speechless when he heard this: "But after all, you stayed with him in the Ming army camp for two days."
Qianye Kong was also speechless: "I already said, I didn't sleep with him."
Hirohito Hiroichi's eyes became even colder: "If you can't even climb onto Zhang Wuji's bed, it only means that you are even more..."
After saying this, Hirohito may have felt a little ashamed, so he didn't say anything further.
But Qianye Kong continued his words and said: "Even more what? Even more incompetent?"
"I really don't deny this point, but I'm not the only incompetent one. There are so many generals and marshals in Japan. If there was only one capable one, we wouldn't be in this situation now."
"Your Majesty, I'm tired. Please let me go for now, considering that I'm on a diplomatic mission. I'll take a shower and go to bed first. We can talk about it later if there's anything else."
…
Chiba Sora didn't give Hirohito Hiroichi another chance to speak and walked straight to his own bedroom.
Hirohito was so angry that his teeth were itching, but he didn't know what to say because he didn't know what to say.
Before Qianye Kong came back, although he felt ashamed in his heart, he also hoped that she could accompany Zhang Wuji well, fight for her dignity, and strive for conditions for Japan to receive less war reparations. However, the final result was that the war reparations were not reduced at all, but almost increased several times.
"Pass the order and have all the officials, big and small, come to the Amaterasu Palace to discuss matters."
In the end, Hirohito Koichi had no choice but to start discussing matters again, because apart from this kind of thing, he didn't know what else he could do.
…
Half an hour later, those Japanese officials who were still sleeping with their beautiful concubines were forced to be called to the Amaterasu Hall again by Hirohito Hiroichi.
"Everyone, I have talked with Zhang Wuji again. I have used my authority to reduce three of the four conditions he proposed at the beginning."
"Now, all we need is war reparations to make the Ming army withdraw."
"It's just that the amount of war reparations has increased slightly."
"Fifteen million taels of gold and two hundred million taels of silver."
Hirohito Koichi also gritted his teeth when he said this amount, but the next moment the Amaterasu Hall was in an uproar.
"Fifteen million taels of gold, two hundred million taels of silver!"
"This is the first time I've heard of such a number in my life. I'm afraid there may not even be 200 million flies in our great Japan."
…
There was an immediate uproar in the Amaterasu Hall. After all, this number was too frightening. At the beginning, the amount of war reparations was only 5 million taels of gold and 50 million taels of silver, but now, the amount of gold has tripled, and the amount of silver has quadrupled. This number is no longer within the comprehension of normal people.
After the Japanese nobles and ministers in the Amaterasu Hall argued for a long time, Hirohito's side cleared their throats and said, "Everyone, I think this price is a bit too much, but it seems that we don't have much room for bargaining."
"If you have anything to say, just say it."
Everyone was silent for a moment, and then someone shouted loudly: "Shame, such a shame."
"It may take decades of tax revenue from Japan to raise this much money."
"What's more, after receiving the tax, do our own soldiers and ministers have to fight? The Ming Dynasty put forward such conditions, which clearly shows that it wants to destroy the national destiny of our Great Japan for a hundred years. If such conditions can be agreed, how can we face our ancestors?"
