Chapter 2927: King of Japan

Nan Yan blinked: "Then, what's the second message?"
Zhu Feng said: "The second message is-he wants to befriend the Great Yan Dynasty."
"what?"
This "message" surprised Nan Yan. She said: "He wrote a letter praising the emperor, which can also be said to be diplomatic rhetoric. Besides, this letter also euphemistically stated that the Japanese pirates have nothing to do with them, but where did the emperor see that he wanted to have diplomatic relations with the Great Yan Dynasty. it is good?"
Zhu Feng said: "In the letter, he called himself a "Chen"."
"what?!"
This shocked Nan Yan.
Even if she heard the name Adachi Yoshio for the first time today, and even if she didn't know much about the situation in Japan, the truth should be universal if one servant does not serve two masters.
Since this Adachi Yoshio was a general of the emperor, that is, a courtier, it was natural that he could not be a courtier to anyone else.
However, he called himself a "Chen" in the letter he submitted to Zhu Feng.
This, I am afraid, is more important than the previously disclosed information that harassing the Japanese pirates on the southeast coast has nothing to do with them.
Nan Yan said: "The emperor, he, what does he mean?"
Zhu Feng smiled lightly: "I also want to know what he means."
"..."
"Or, let's think about it together."
When Nan Yan heard this, he was full of spirits, and he made two cups of tea specially and sent them to Zhu Feng's hand. He also held a cup of warm fingertips in his hand.
Zhu Fengxian said: "A person must do one thing to his own benefit. To be a minister to me will not do any good to his status as a general."
"Not only is it bad, it's bad,"
Nan Yan went on to say: "One servant does not serve the second master. As an important person in Japan, he will be regarded as a traitor to the emperor of other countries."
Zhu Feng nodded after hearing these words.
"It makes sense."
"So, what kind of interest is there, compared to this, everything else can make him careless?"
"..."
Having said this, Zhu Feng frowned, and suddenly picked up Adachi Yoshio's letter, opened it and read it again.
Nan Yan looked at him and asked softly, "What did the emperor see?"
Zhu Feng's eyes were still fixed on the few lines on the paper, and he slowly said, "Although this person's letter is simple, there is no traitorous or sneaky expression in the words."
"..."
"For a person in this position, xinxing is more important than means."
"Oh……?"
"So if he doesn't have the desire to betray the country and seek glory, then I'm afraid he has another mind."
"What's your mind?"
"Plan for the benefit of this country."
"Domestic interests?"
Nan Yan widened his eyes and looked at Zhu Feng's letter in his hand, and suddenly understood what he came to know: "The emperor meant that although he wrote this letter as a traitor to his country, it is not for Japan. The country is good."
"Not bad."
Zhu Feng nodded, but there was a sneer in his eyes: "I sent people to re-travel the Northwest Silk Road and open the coastal defenses of the southeast coast in order to rebuild the tributary system. He did exactly what I wanted."
Nan Yan was even more strange: "The emperor said he wanted to pay tribute to the Great Yan Dynasty?"
"Even if he doesn't want to, if he asks me, I have to make him think."
Nan Yan was even more confused in his mind.
He said: "The emperor does not hesitate to bear the charge of traitorous and prosperous. What exactly does he demand? Why on earth should he pay tribute to the emperor?"
Zhu Feng said: "You remember what I told you just now, even if Japan is so small, there are many hills in the country, and even in some places, his general can't control it."
"Yes."
"As the supreme ruler of secular power, as long as he is a normal person, will he want to uniformly subdue these forces?"
"of course?"
Speaking of this, Nan Yan bounced off his chair suddenly: "Does he want to use the deterrent force of the Great Yan Dynasty to unify Japan?"
Zhu Feng smiled faintly: "Lean with a big tree with his back, everyone would think so."
Nan Yan took a deep breath, held on to the arm of the chair, and sat back slowly.
"So it's like this..."
She was a little bit emotional, as if she didn't know what to say, she was quiet for a while and then whispered: "In order to complete the reunification of this country, pay tribute to another big country, this..."
Zhu Feng looked at her and smiled and said, "You have a hard time accepting?"
Nan Yan hesitated for a long time, and said softly, "It's unimaginable."
Zhu Feng chuckled and said slowly: "Although there are great difficulties, a country would rather be too big to manage than too small to have nothing to do, otherwise many things will be involuntary."
"..."
"Sometimes, it's not just a country, it's just the same as a person."
Nan Yan nodded gently.
"Concubine understands."
After speaking, she raised her head to look at Zhu Feng again: "If Adachi Yoshio has such a mind, how does the emperor plan to respond?"
Zhu Feng said: "My thoughts have just been said."
"just?"
Nan Yan thought about it for a while and immediately understood: "The emperor wants to rebuild the countries and countries in the past, so he will accept his tribute.
Zhu Feng nodded and said, "But, this is the benefit we give him."
Nan Yan couldn't help but smile.
It is an advantage to claim tribute to other countries. It sounds a bit weird, but such strange things are probably not uncommon in the exchanges between countries.
Nan Yan said, "The emperor won't give him benefits in vain, will he?"
"of course,"
Zhu Feng said: "There must be faith between countries, but not just faith. The Great Yan Dynasty is a big country, but it is not taken advantage of."
Nan Yan asked, "What price will the emperor make him pay?"
With a smile at the corner of Zhu Feng's mouth, he said: "What is the problem we are facing now, let them solve it, it will be fine."
"what!"
Nan Yan suddenly realized it, and came over and stared at Zhu Feng with bright eyes: "The emperor meant to let this Yoshio Adachi deal with the Japanese pirates as his Japanese general?"
"Yes, if he can deal with these Japanese pirates, he will be meritorious to the dynasty, and I will naturally accept his tribute.
Nan Yan said with a smile: "That's great. We don't have to spend a single pawn, just let them fight. Not only can we weaken their strength, but we can also get a tribute from the country. This is a solution to two birds with one stone."
Zhu Feng collected the two letters, put them back in the box, and said slowly: "I will make an order tomorrow."
"..."
"At that time, it will be up to this Adachi Yoshio to see if he has the skills. If he can really wipe out the Japanese pirates, I will enshrine him as a'Japanese King'!"
Nan Yan was stunned: "Huh?"
