Chapter 351: Smart is mistaken by smart
"Hmph, regardless of whether the Japanese want to invade the Ming Dynasty is true or not, but as a member of the Ming Dynasty, you, North Korea, deceived the superior country when something happened, what do you want to do?"
Just when Jin Yingnan was using the excuse of "a refugee at sea", Pan Sheng, who took the position of first assistant because Zhang Siwei returned to his hometown to be the father of Ding You, took the little fat man's words and stood up and questioned Jin Yingnan sternly.
"Returning to what Mr. Fu said, how dare the lower country deceive the upper country! It is because the news is too absurd, so the lower country accidentally ignored it and forgot to inform the upper country. It was definitely not the lower country's intention!"
At this time, Jin Yingnan could only insist that the Japanese invasion of the Ming Dynasty was just a ridiculous rumor, hoping to reduce the punishment of the Ming Dynasty.
In fact, Jin Yingnan was not deceiving the Ming Dynasty in that the Japanese country would not really send troops.
Because the vast majority of people in the entire Bangzi country, from the country's leader Li Huan to the Manchu officials, simply did not believe that Toyotomi Hideyoshi and the Japanese government had the guts to really invade the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, his "sincere" sophistry actually had a lot of effect.
At least, he could see the disbelief in the news of the Japanese invasion on the faces of Little Fatty, the emperor, and Pan Sheng, the chief minister of the cabinet.
"Tell Li Hao when I get back that if something like this happens again, I will definitely not forgive you lightly!"
In the end, with Jin Yingnan's 'sincere' explanation, the little fat man reluctantly forgave Bangziguo's deception this time.
…
But what Jin Yingnan didn't know was that shortly after the disbandment of the dynasty, when he was still rejoicing for his success in passing the test, he had previously harshly reprimanded his chief assistant Pan Sheng in the main hall, but at this moment he was unexpectedly fighting for the stick.
The country is begging for mercy!
"Your Majesty, although Li Hao concealed the Japanese invasion, if they dare to team up with the Japanese to invade our Ming Dynasty, I'm afraid they don't have the courage, right?"
Looking at the request for help that had just been sent from Ryukyu, the vassal country in his hand, the first assistant Pan Sheng couldn't help but frown.
It turned out that not long after the disbandment of the dynasty, Ryukyu, a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty not far from Japan, also sent a letter asking for help, saying that Japan had forced Ryukyu and North Korea to coordinate with it to send troops to attack the Ming Dynasty.
"Haha, it doesn't matter whether they have the courage or not. The important thing is that at this time, they are still concealing the fact that they sent people to secretly send envoys to the Japanese country!"
In response to Pan Sheng's 'please', the little fat man just sneered and waved his hand.
"Then why was Your Majesty in the court before..."
Pan Sheng was immediately puzzled by the fact that the little fat man knew Jin Yingnan was lying but still 'understood' his behavior.
'Otherwise, how can we teach these rats a lesson at both ends of the stick!'
Facing Pan Sheng's questions, the little fat man couldn't help but murmur to himself.
It turned out that the reason for this was just that the little fat man was cooperating with Wang Bing and Bangzi in acting to distract their attention and make them less energetic to prepare for war.
Although they didn't have this awareness in the first place, they were not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. After all, in Wang Bing's plan, the Bangzi Country was also a key part of his development of the "Beidacang" in Liaodong.
…
"Jin Yingnan, see for yourself! I treat you with sincerity, but you think I am easy to fool, right?"
In the Jinluan Hall, the 'extremely angry' little fat man raised his hand, and with a soft 'snap' sound, a memorial was thrown from the dragon table in front of Jin Yingnan, who was kneeling down.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, this... this is slander, slander!"
Jin Yingnan picked up the request for help from the Ryukyu Kingdom, glanced at it, and quickly fell to the ground to cry out his injustice again.
"Unjustly accused? Huh! What grudge does the Ryukyu Kingdom have against your country? Why do they want to wrongly accuse you?"
Unlike the fool he was the day before, this time, the little fat man seemed very 'sober'.
"No wonder someone suggested that I send a large army to kill all the officials and nobles of your country, and then ambush the army to ambush the Japanese country!"
Finally, the little fat man, who was so angry, scolded Jin Yingnan fiercely.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, my country has been wronged! That is just the arrogance of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. The Japanese country is only a small country, how dare..."
In order to eliminate the suspicion that North Korea colluded with the Japanese to invade the Ming Dynasty, Jin Yingnan could not care whether the Japanese really wanted to invade the Ming Dynasty at this time, and could only insist that it was just Toyotomi Hideyoshi's wild words.
"Hmph, if I hadn't known that those were just lies made by Mr. Toyotomi, how could I have allowed you to bark like crazy here? If you come, give me a beating with a stick and drive you out of the capital!"
Before Jin Yingnan could continue to quibble, with the wave of the little fat man, the golden melon warrior in front of the palace waved the 'gourd stick' in his hand and beat Jin Yingnan out of the palace.
"Your Majesty, I'm going to this country, I'm going to this country...it's unfair!"
Since it became a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, no envoy from the Bangzi Kingdom has ever been treated like a "golden melon" like Jin Yingnan.
…
"It's over, it's over! If tomorrow's soldiers arrive..."
When he saw Jin Yingnan returning in embarrassment, Li He, the king of Korea, was immediately frightened and his face turned pale. He fell down on the throne with his eyes blank and kept mumbling to himself.
"This... what should I do? I regret it!"
Like Li Huan, Li Shanhai, who was in charge of political affairs, finally realized that he had gotten into a big trouble, and his body went limp and he collapsed.
Faced with this severe situation, officials from the various parties in the southeast, northwest and northwest who usually would argue over trivial matters were now like eggplants beaten by frost.
"Soldiers will block it, water will cover it with soil! If the Ming Dynasty really sends troops, the worst we can do is lead the Japanese..."
It is said that the method was forced. After seeing that everyone from the great king Li Huan to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were in mourning, some people could not help but get angry and actually planned to lure the Japanese ashore to fight against the Ming Dynasty.
"Come here, take this guy who talks nonsense, has no king and no father, and kill him!"
Before the man could finish his cruel words, Liu Chenglong, who was Zuo Yizheng, was awakened by the cruel words of subjugating the country and destroying his species, and he quickly shouted loudly to the sergeants on duty outside the palace.
"Your Highness, judging from the news brought back by Master Jin, there may be room for redemption in this matter!"
Chenglong, who was awakened by the bold remarks of the previous man, suddenly narrowed his eyes at this moment, reminding Li Hao of the last words of the Ming Emperor, 'If I don't know clearly, it was just the lies of Toyotomi's old man.
Words come.
"As long as we send envoys again to sincerely apologize and repent to the Ming Dynasty, this matter should be resolved satisfactorily. After all, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty only cares about us not reporting the news about Japan in time!"
"Yes, yes, yes, Liu Aiqing is right! As long as we sincerely admit our mistakes and repent, we will definitely gain the Emperor Ming's forgiveness!"
After hearing Li Chenglong's analysis, Li Hao calmed down a little and began to think about who to send as an envoy to the Ming Dynasty.
And just when the Bangzi Kingdom was putting out the fire because of the little cleverness it had played earlier, both the Japanese Kingdom and the Ming Dynasty were already ready for war.
On the contrary, it is the important 'springboard' of Bangzi Country, because at this time, he is busy going to the Ming Dynasty to put out the fire, how can he have the energy to care about preparing for war or not?
