I was kicked out of the house, and I was reborn and became the emperor

As soon as the words came out, the eyes of the civil and military officials in the hall suddenly changed towards Kenjiro Niino, and they glared at him angrily.

Even Fang Yi, who was usually gentle and polite, couldn't help but curl his lips, sighing inwardly that the shameless behavior of the Japanese was indeed deeply rooted.

"Does the Japanese prince want to go back on his word? It's written in black and white and there's a contract in front of him, so how can he go back on his word?" Mu Junsheng couldn't help but ask first.

Wu Minbo followed closely behind: "That's right! Since Japan has already agreed, how can we go back on our word?"

"With such perfidy, aren't you afraid that our Great Zhou cavalry will directly attack the heartland of Japan?" The ministers were indignant and spoke righteously.

Emperor Taining's face was calm, but the gloom in his eyes revealed his dissatisfaction.

Shangguan Ba ​​was silent for a while, then stepped forward and said righteously: "Prince of Japan, you have already lost in the duel, how can you go back on your word?"

"Where will this move put our Great Zhou?" After saying this, he bowed slightly to Emperor Taining and changed the subject, "However, I have something to say, and I dare to ask for your advice."

Emperor Taining nodded gently: "Duke Ningguo, please feel free to speak."

Shangguan Ba ​​responded by shouting: "The diplomatic relations between the two countries are no joke."

"The bet cannot be regretted, but our Great Zhou should not force it too much, lest we force the dog into a dead end, where something unexpected may happen..." Having said this, he stopped abruptly and glanced back.

"Duke Ningguo's words make sense!"

Zhou Zhengxuan made a timely suggestion, "If we really force Japan into a dead end, should we make them burn themselves to death in order to resist our Great Zhou, or should we make them turn against South Vietnam? The consequences will be disastrous!"

Upon hearing this, Duan Xusheng also hurriedly advised, his worry evident in his words: "Your Majesty, you must be cautious about this matter. No matter what choice Japan makes, our Great Zhou will be in a passive and disadvantageous situation."

The three people's words made everyone look different. Ningguo Gong's words seemed to make some sense. The Chu bandits were spying on the Great Zhou. Any disturbance could trigger a chain reaction. Moreover, the coastal waters of Dongying were rich and its location was special. Once it was invaded by Nanyue, the Great Zhou's flank would be wide open and attacked from both sides. The consequences were unpredictable.

But if we let it go, how can we be willing to accept the fact that the benefits that are within our grasp will be gone in a flash?

Mu Junsheng was extremely anxious, but he had nothing to say. Even Emperor Taining frowned slightly, weighing the pros and cons.

Kenjiro Niino and Ida were secretly delighted and were about to say something else when a cold voice suddenly rang out.

"All these words are just to evade the issue. Kenjiro Niino, your shamelessness is beyond my imagination."

Looking at Fang Yi's sarcastic eyes, Kenjiro Shinno felt an indescribable anger in his heart.

"Fang Yi, do you really want to push my Japanese into a desperate situation?"

"If Japan is determined to fight against the Great Zhou, or even turn against us, what can the Great Zhou do to me?"

"Who knows, this may lead to a disaster that will wipe out the entire clan and befall the Great Zhou!"

The firmness of Kenjiro Shinno's words shocked all the ministers, who were filled with reluctance and fear. Could it be that this bet would eventually fall through?

At this time, only Fang Yi remained calm, with his shoulders shrugged slightly, looking nonchalant.

"If you really don't want to fulfill it, there is still a way out!"

"My Lord, be careful with your words!" Wu Minbo was shocked and hurriedly reminded him. The emperor had not yet expressed his opinion, and any careless words at this time might give others a handle.

"My Lord, don't say such words lightly!" Shangguan Ba ​​stepped forward and said righteously.

"This matter concerns the safety of the country. How can you speak so easily, Lord?"

"If these words did not come from the Marquis, the Emperor will severely punish him for treason!"

Although Shangguan Ba's words sound pleasant, they are actually full of sharp meaning. If Fang Yi is not careful, he might fall into an irretrievable situation.

"Then according to Duke Ning's opinion, what should we do? Giving up the vassal state we have already acquired is also an act of treason and collusion with the enemy, isn't it?"

Fang Yi was full of vigor and looked Shangguan Ba ​​in the eye, showing no intention of backing down. However, Shangguan Ba ​​smiled calmly and asked:

"What do you think, Marquis Guanjun? If we force Japan into a desperate situation and force it to fight to the death with our Great Zhou, or if it turns to Dongyue and attacks Great Zhou from both sides, how should we respond then? Are we going to conduct military exercises again and just talk about war on paper?"

As soon as the words came out, everyone focused their attention on Fang Yi. Indeed, if the problem could not be properly solved, conquering Japan would be nothing but a pipe dream.

Facing the scrutiny of the crowd, Fang Yi smiled contemptuously. After looking around, his eyes were fixed on Kenjiro Niino.

"The answer is simple and clear! Today, if Japan is unwilling to submit to our Great Zhou, then it can only prepare to face the fate of national destruction!"

The country will be destroyed? When these words came out, the ministers looked at each other in dismay, and were deeply shocked. How could such harsh words be spoken so easily!

Could it be that the intention of the Marquis of Guanjun was to use all the military power of the Great Zhou to conquer Japan in one fell swoop? Although Japan was weak, it was not difficult to conquer it, but South Vietnam surrounded it. If it acted too hastily, the Great Zhou itself might suffer a devastating disaster first.

Why did the Champion Marquis, who was known for his calmness, have such a hasty thought at this moment? Everyone, including Emperor Taining, looked at Fang Yi at the same time, expecting him to give a reasonable answer.

"You...what nonsense are you talking about?" Kenjiro Niino pointed at Fang Yi with trembling fingers, but his tone could not hide his guilt.

Ida's face was gloomy, his eyes were deep, "Marquis Guanjun, do you really want to force Dongying to fight to the death with your Great Zhou?"

However, Fang Yi smiled in response to this question.

"Fight to the death? To be frank, with the power of Japan, it is probably not strong enough to compete with the Great Zhou."

Lack of weight? What does this mean?

Everyone looked at each other in shock, realizing that they had no idea what Fang Yi was thinking, as if they were in a fog.

Fang Yi's eyes swept across Kenjiro Shinno and Ida, his tone calm but sharp.

"As Japanese envoys, you talk about friendship on the surface, but in fact you are here for help, isn't that right?"

As soon as these words came out, Kenjiro Shinno and Ida's pupils shrank suddenly. Before they could react, Fang Yi continued:

"Let me guess. Before the Nanyue troops arrived, had the Japanese already secretly made a move and sent troops directly to the heart of Japan? Although they delayed the war, they also issued an ultimatum to Japan."

"The conditions they proposed are probably more than a hundred times more harsh than submitting to our Great Zhou! Therefore, the King of Dongying sent you secretly to Nanyue, seeking support under the pretext of marriage, in order to intimidate our Great Zhou and force it to give in. Kenjiro Niino, is there any deviation in what I said?"

After Fang Yi finished speaking, Kenjiro Niino stood there like a stone statue.

"You, how do you know..." He murmured, until Ida gently pulled him, and then he suddenly stopped talking.

However, his heart was in turmoil. How could Fang Yi know all these top secrets of Japan so accurately?

Were they the only two who felt shocked?

From Emperor Taining to Mu Junsheng and Shangguan Ba, all the civil and military officials in the court were shocked because of the uproar caused by these words.

South Vietnam has actually been eyeing Japan for a long time?

And this trip to Japan was actually for help?

If we really agree to the marriage, wouldn't we become Japan's pawn?

What is even more regrettable is that Kenjiro Niino's arrogance made everyone unaware of this.

On the contrary, Fang Yi had a clear insight into everything.

Guanjun Hou, you are really a prophet!
