After Hirohito Hiroichi took action against his own family and dealt with his two useless princes, he finally came to the topic of today, which was how to deal with Zhang Wuji.
Regarding this issue that they had been discussing for several months, the ministers and Japanese nobles present were still looking at each other in confusion. What could they say? Although the Sixth Uncle and the Eighth Uncle said nonsense about attack and defense, in the final analysis, if they wanted to confront Zhang Wuji head-on, they could only use those nonsense to fool Hirohito Hongyi.
…
An hour later, the sky had already darkened.
Another fruitless day, with lots of noise and fuss, but in the end no one said anything decent.
But Hirohito Hiroichi was puzzled because the little Zhuge Abe Saburo didn't say a word.
Therefore, after dismissing everyone, Hirohito only kept Abe.
"Abe-kun, is there anything you're not comfortable saying?"
Seeing that only he, Hirohito Koichi, and a few personal guards were left in the Amaterasu Hall, Saburo Abe no longer hid his identity.
"Your Majesty, if it really doesn't work, let's negotiate."
Upon hearing this, Hirohito smiled bitterly and said, "No wonder Abe-kun didn't say a word before. Things like peace talks really can't be said openly."
"Then tell me, how much will it cost us to negotiate?"
Saburo Abe said: "As long as we don't cede territory or pay compensation, as long as the Hirohito family remains the master of Japan, then everything can be negotiated. Let's send Zhang Wuji away first. As long as we send him away, what can he do in the future even if we don't acknowledge our responsibility? Even if he sends troops to attack again, the most he can do is end up like this."
Hirohito smiled and said, "Abe-kun, if you were Zhang Wuji, would you be willing to negotiate? Zhang Wuji is a capable man. The situation has become like this. If he wants something, he can just go and get it himself. Why would I have to give it to him?"
After hearing this, Saburo Abe smiled bitterly and said, "That's true. If I were Zhang Wuji, I would naturally not want to negotiate. But, what else can we do now besides negotiation? Apart from negotiation, the only thing left is to fight Zhang Wuji to the death."
Hirohito thought for a moment and said: "Tokugawa Hideyoshi disobeyed orders some time ago and led his troops to retreat without authorization. Now, can we find a way to contact him and let him take the initiative to attack Zhang Wuji's camp? If he can succeed, I will attack him from both sides and perhaps we can defeat Zhang Wuji."
Saburo Abe said: "This is indeed a good idea. Unfortunately, we have been under siege for a while. The Ming army's siege of the city is watertight. It should not be easy to contact Tokugawa Hideyoshi."
Hirohito said: "It is indeed not an easy task, but no matter how difficult it is, it is still easier than defeating Zhang Wuji, right?"
Saburo Abe said: "That's true, but I'm just afraid that the success rate is not high, and Tokugawa Hideyoshi will send out the few troops we have outside."
Hirohito smiled bitterly: "Tokyo is gone, what's the use of Tokugawa Hideyoshi's tens of thousands of troops? Could it be that he and his troops are more important than me and the 150,000 troops in Tokyo?"
"When he retreated without permission, didn't we plan to use him as an external aid?"
"Today's matter ends here. I will find a few ninjas in the palace to see if they can break through the blockade of the Ming army. If they can break through the blockade of the Ming army, we will try to find the location of Tokugawa Hideyoshi."
…
Nothing went smoothly for Hirohito Kōichi. In today's battle, his soldiers killed 20,000 of his own civilians, leaving Hirohito in no mood to even turn over the cards at night.
However, Zhang Wuji's situation was a different story.
At night, in the Ming army camp, when the bonfire was burning into the sky, Gong Yu finally arrived here.
To be honest, Zhang Wuji actually wanted to ride his horse to greet them ten miles away, but none of Zhao Linger, Zhao Min, Zhou Zhiruo and the others agreed to it.
In the end, at the strong request of the women, Zhang Wuji just waited for Gong Yu in his own camp.
"Gong Yu, I pay my respects to His Majesty, to the Queen, and to all the sisters."
After Gong Yu entered the big tent, she knelt down without saying a word, bowed deeply and kowtowed several times in one breath, which made Zhang Wuji and the women present a little at a loss.
Seeing this, Zhang Wuji no longer cared about anything. He quickly helped Gong Yu up and said, "Yu'er, we are family. Why do you have to be like this?"
The tears in Gong Yu's eyes suddenly flowed down.
This time, Zhang Wuji was even more at a loss: "Yu'er, you, have you suffered any injustice?"
"You tell me, I will take charge of the matter. Who in this world dares to bully my woman, Zhang Wuji?"
Gong Yu wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, no one bullied me. I just felt that I did not listen to you and led the troops here in person. What I did was really reckless. But Yu'er just missed you so much and just wanted to see you."
All the women present were stunned on the spot.
Zhao Min smiled and said, "Have you seen it? I said she was the smartest one, and we were still thinking about how to deal with her. Now look, a few tears have fallen, and I am embarrassed to say anything harsh."
Zhou Zhiruo also said: "That's right, she cried at the right time. I didn't even say anything unpleasant, but I was choked by her tears."
Zhang Wuji glared at Zhao Min and Zhou Zhiruo and said, "You two shut up. Didn't you see Yu'er is crying? If you keep saying those sarcastic words, I'll punish you two."
Zhao Min and Zhou Zhiruo were speechless after hearing this.
Zhang Wuji helped Zhao Min up, but at this moment, Zhao Linger said, "Sister Yu'er, are you pregnant again?"
Gong Yu has a slim figure, so her pregnancy is not obvious, but Zhao Linger still can't hide this from her eyes.
Gong Yu wiped the tears from her eyes and said: "I'm sorry to make you laugh, sister, I, I am indeed pregnant with your majesty's child again."
Zhang Wuji originally supported Gong Yu, but after hearing that she was pregnant again, he became serious: "Nonsense, if you are pregnant, why did you come here? How can you be so ignorant of the seriousness of the matter?"
After hearing Zhang Wuji's accusation, Gong Yu could no longer control the tears in her eyes.
"Woo woo woo woo..."
"Your Majesty, I don't want to either. I don't want to get pregnant at this time, but there is nothing I can do. Just before, when our first batch of soldiers landed in Yamaguchi Prefecture, I only accompanied you a few times before that. But after those few times, I got pregnant again."
"Woo woo woo woo..."
