    "Do you really want to speak up for those Han people?" The Crown Princess stared at her beloved son who was kneeling in front of her.  ¡ü Prince Nao¡¯s idea allowed her to leave Kyoto before the fall and not become Yun Xiao¡¯s prisoner.  It is exactly like this, as the only person outside the royal family.  She was publicly elected as the representative of the royal family for no other reason than that the Crown Princess had a good son, Prince Li.  These navy generals happened to be subordinates of Prince Li. In their view, following the boss's wife was also a sign of loyalty.  "Crown Princess, you know that Kyoto has fallen. Although Yokosuka is far away from Edo, it is not a paradise. There is not much food stored in Edo City now. It has to supply the navy and ensure its own rations. Counting the new ones captured this year  How long will you have enough food to eat? Do you really want to starve your mother to death again? " Aizi said that starving his mother to death was a custom among the indigenous people before the Xu family landed in Japan.  In times of famine, there was not enough food in the fields.  So there will be a public meeting within the family to expel the most useless family member.  And this person is often the mother of the family. The Japanese vividly call it the starving old mother.  Members who are expelled will be carried to the mountains, possibly out of guilt.  Before leaving home, she would get a big vegetable dumpling as her last meal.  But even this vegetable dumpling is often reserved for the youngest son by the evicted mother.  Low productivity caused this kind of human tragedy to be staged one after another, until Xu Fu led the soldiers and civilians of Great Qin to the land of Japan.  They brought farming techniques from the Central Plains, and grain output seemed to increase year by year.  Things like starving my mother to death gradually decreased or even disappeared.  However, the memory left by this kind of thing to the Japanese is indelible, because the story is so tragic, it is no exaggeration to say that it was cruel.  Aiko used this allusion to beat the imperial concubine when the army had no food to eat.  She, an old mother, will also be ruthlessly abandoned, because there are many Japanese in the navy. This is their tradition.  "Aiko. You want to say that these sailors will abandon me in the end, right? Hey I have lived for fifty years, and I am running towards sixty before my eyes. What else can I miss, but you are different  There are many things you can miss, like the beautiful Masako next to you, and Yi Qingyao who was imprisoned by the Han people. In fact, if you give up, you can give up on one thing.  You can¡¯t give up. That¡¯s your bloodline. You are a descendant of Amaterasu, and your blood is flowing through your veins. But your actions today have tarnished that nobility¡± ¡°You¡¯re wrong, the so-called bloodline.  It's an illusion. I don't know what's going on with Amaterasu. Don't you know? What you can let go of is what I can't let go of - I want to take care of my daughter, son and husband.  I want them to live until I reach your age. I want to see them live happily. I want to take their children and their children to have fun. I want to watch my descendants grow up healthily.  . Watching them form new families. Continuing the noble bloodline you mentioned, although in my opinion, this is what I want and what I will do every day.  Anyone who prevents me from realizing this good wish is my enemy" "Then your enemies should be the Han people, not me!" "You are right, the Han people are our common enemy.  So powerful, so powerful that I have no hope of defeating them. The Royal Guards are Japan's most powerful army. How can your navy compare with them in terms of military equipment and training?  What's the result? Nearly ten thousand elite royal guards have become dead souls. They are as vulnerable as chickens in front of those tigers and wolves. The city of Kyoto where you are is defeated.  Is it possible that Edo is stronger than Kyoto? "Hahaha, Kyoto is dead but my navy is alive. But my fleet can go to sea at any time.  After sailing south for a day or two, there will be an island that can be inhabited. "Ha! Princess, do you understand that when you live in the deep palace, the total number of naval troops is tens of thousands?"  The mouths together are bigger than the city gates. These mouths need food every day. What do you use to feed them? How can there be so much food for you to plunder?  Robbery? Is it possible that you want to plant seeds now? I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll all starve to death!¡± ¡°Even if we starve to death, we won¡¯t sacrifice our daughters to the Han people for mercy.¡± ¡°Okay, I won¡¯t.  I'm arguing with you. Let the generals make their own decisions. I'm going to pay a visit to the generals. Will they follow me or follow you? " "It's my place. I have the final say."  &nbspThe Crown Princess finally couldn't help it anymore and the bamboo fan in her hand fell on the lacquer table with a "snap".  The sliding door behind him opened immediately.  A Japanese general wearing bamboo armor appeared behind the Crown Princess with a bronze dagger in his hand.  Almost at the same time, the sliding door behind Aiko was also opened, and a group of Japanese soldiers holding swords and wearing bamboo armor stood neatly.  Masako screamed in shock, but Aiko's face was calm.  "It's rare for you to remain so calm at this time. Kato Yoshiaki, kill this bitch for me. She is not worthy of being a descendant of Amaterasu. Since she disdains noble blood, let her blood bleed dry and die."  ." The Crown Princess's eyes flashed with a destructive light, and she was heartbroken for this royal princess.  She decided to kill Aiko and Masako beside her.  Get rid of this traitor for the royal family, and also get rid of a disaster for yourself.  Because her words were so inciting, if she were allowed to talk to the generals, most of them would be won over by her.  The proud Crown Princess smiled, but after waiting for a long time, Kato Yoshiaki made no move.  The Crown Princess seemed a little panicked, "Kato Yoshiaki, I asked you to kill her. This is an order. From now on, she is no longer a descendant of Amaterasu. I order you as the recommended leader." Kato Yoshiaki hesitated  For a moment, he still moved, but the sword in his hand was placed on the neck of the Crown Princess.  With just one touch, the Crown Princess's wrinkled neck will be cut open.  "Kato Yoshiaki, what are you doing? Do you want to be rebellious? Amaterasu will not let you go." The Crown Princess shouted in horror.  "Crown Princess, please save it! Why do you think Kato Yoshiaki has always supported you? And why did he take the initiative to ambush you outside the door? How could I only take my daughter to your place of death? Hahaha, Kato Yoshiaki is my husband  A Qingyao tribesman. Have you forgotten? "Hmph! Kato Yoshiaki, you have sworn allegiance to my son, have you forgotten?" The imperial concubine's face suddenly turned pale as snow. She knew that as a Japanese,  Aboriginal.  Kato Yoshiaki and Ichisei Yao belong to the same family, and their relatives are relatively close.  I didn't expect that I would be tricked by the woman in front of me if I had no intention of calculating.  Kato Yoshiaki said nothing, but Aiko was happy.  "Crown Princess, I have in my hand an autographed letter from Prince Li. This letter is more useful than a mother like you. Prince Li has surrendered and you are the only one who still wants to resist." It turns out that before Aiko met the Crown Princess,  .  A close retainer has been sent to show Kato Yoshiaki a letter of surrender from Prince Li.  Kato Yoshiaki is a die-hard loyalist of Prince Rei. When he saw Prince Rei's letter, he said that he only wanted to surrender.  Then you can be forgiven, and everything in the past will not be held accountable.  That's why Kato Yoshiaki and Aiko joined forces to restrain the Crown Princess.  "When you had people take me directly into Edo Castle, I knew you had murderous intentions. You were just afraid that I had Prince Li's letter in my hand and wanted to separate me from the navy generals. If I were not prepared, how could I  Entering this dragon-tank-like Edo Castle? Princess, accept your fate! Japan is over, and Amaterasu no longer protects this land. Now the Han people have the final say. In fact, fundamentally speaking, you and I are also Han people.  It's amazing that this is just a matter of acknowledging one's ancestors. I advise you to cooperate with the general trend. Call the generals together and read Prince Li's letter in public. As for whether to surrender or not, it is better to let the generals make their own decisions.  "Aiko said with confidence.  Edo Castle was developed much later than Kyoto, and its population was not as large as that of Edo.  The output of the land is indeed limited to feed these more than 10,000 sailors. Many sailors also need to fish to make a living in addition to training.  For an army that doesn't even have enough to eat, food is the biggest temptation.  Not everyone can talk about spirit on an empty stomach, and the Crown Princess will not be hungry either.  "What benefits did the Han people promise you to make you serve them wholeheartedly?" The imperial concubine's face was a little distorted. She didn't understand why the descendants of Amaterasu turned their elbows outward.  "Benefits! As I said just now, the benefit I get is that I can be with my family and live a stable and peaceful life. This is the guarantee given to me by the Han Marquis. There is no other way for me except to believe, because I don't  If I promise, my family will die. And they will die miserably!" "What will the Han people do to me if I surrender?" The imperial concubine only felt that the situation was over and began to worry about her future.  "I don't know how the Han people will deal with you. This is the right of the Han marquis. But Prince Li's letter said that as long as he surrenders, Marquis Yun will promise not to kill anyone in vain. Many people in Kyoto surrendered, including the royal guards. Others  They were all pardoned, including Prince Zhi. Marquis Yun was very kind and allowed them to live in the palace. I saw them living better than before, and Prince Li was even a little fatter.  The prince told the Crown Princess what he saw and heard in Kyoto. Now let the old ladyIt is important to eliminate worries.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
