Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 761

Emperor Go-En'yū, who was in his twenties, could no longer be described as being in his prime, but rather as being in the prime of his youth.

However, under the influence of the shogunate, he had to pass the throne to his young son who was only six years old.

The reason is simple. Young people in their twenties have their own thoughts, and children are easier to control.

After all, the emperor was the apparent supreme ruler of the Japanese pirates. If he really wanted to do something, it would definitely cause trouble for the shogunate.

Once we know the identity of this young man, then what he just did will make sense.

"No wonder he deliberately targeted Hosokawa Sawato during the fight for the oiran just now. He's bullying the smaller ones when he can't beat the bigger ones!"

Thinking of this, Wei Wu couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

The Japanese pirate royal family was determined to take back power from the shogunate. The two sides could be said to be natural enemies, but they could not overturn the table.

After all, the military power is in the hands of the shogunate, and they do not have the strength. At most, they only have a slight advantage in status.

There was nothing he could do about the shogunate and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, but Go-Entsu would not give face to Hosokawa Sawato, the shogunate regent.

Just as Wei Wu expected, as soon as Hosokawa Sawato finished speaking, Emperor Go-Enryū immediately spoke:

"Why, if you, Hosokawa Sawato, can come here to have fun, then am I not qualified to do so?"

After hearing Emperor Go-Enryū's blunt words, Hosokawa Sawato's face suddenly turned gloomy.

It’s a pity that he is an official, and Hou Yuanrong is the emperor, and his status can suppress him.

At the same time, when they heard Emperor Go-en-yō admit his identity, the surrounding Japanese pirates all came to their senses.

Some of them were nervous, some were in awe, and they all knelt down to pay their respects to Emperor Hou Yuanrong.

If Wei Wu hadn't been sitting right here, the bastard would have almost lost control and would have instinctively saluted the other party.

However, what surprised Wei Wu was that the courtesan's attitude was completely different from that of the others.

Although she also bowed, she was kneeling when she entered the private room, so the bowing action was not obvious.

The key point is that when facing Emperor Hou Yuanrong, she simply turned sideways and bowed slightly, and then returned to her original posture.

This attitude is like "I'm just polite to you, not because I really respect you."

Although the status of courtesans was quite high among the Japanese pirates, it depended on the person and was only applicable to merchants and samurai.

Whenever encountering powerful officials, this status is meaningless, let alone the Japanese pirate emperor.

In other words, the attitude of the courtesan in front of him was not based on her identity as a courtesan, nor on how high her status was.

But this is her attitude. Even when Hosokawa Sawato came over to threaten her just now, she didn't show any fear.

In Wei Wu's opinion, there are only two possibilities for this situation. One is that she had a noble status before becoming the top courtesan.

But this is unlikely. In this small territory of the Japanese pirates, no matter how noble one's status is, can it be higher than the emperor's father, the previous emperor?

After ruling out this possibility, Wei Wu could only think of one thing: the courtesan considered herself noble and performed the ceremony just to avoid trouble.

Judging from her attitude just now, whether it was towards Hosokawa Sawato or Emperor Go-En'yū, she was a bit like Wei Wu and the others.

They simply believed deep down that they were superior to these Japanese pirates, but the problem was that Wei Wu and the others had a reason for this mentality.

This is the profound cultural heritage of China, which gives them super strong cultural confidence, but why is this the reason for this courtesan?

Of course there is another possibility, but this thought only flashed through Wei Wu's mind.

That is, this courtesan had the intention to die, but if she really had this intention, she would not have lived until now and would have ended her life long ago.

"Forget it, why think about it? What does this courtesan have to do with me? Leave it to Shen Lin! It's more interesting to watch the show now."

Wei Wudingtian was just a little curious about this courtesan and didn't take it too seriously.

After putting the question aside, he turned to look outside the private room, and at this moment Hosokawa Sawato also spoke.

"Of course the Emperor can come. In that case, I won't disturb His Excellency's entertainment."

After saying that, Hosokawa Sawato turned around and left with his men, but he did not leave the teahouse, but returned to his private room.

He thought very clearly about today's matter. I can't afford to offend you, but can't I avoid you?

Your status as the emperor is higher than mine, but at most you can just humiliate me a few words. You can't do anything to me if I want to leave.

The facts proved to be true. When Emperor Go-En'yō saw Hosokawa Sawato turning around and leaving, he neither stopped him nor chased after him.

The conflict between Wei Wu and Hosokawa Sawato, which was about to break out into a fight, was resolved with the intervention of Emperor Go-En'yū.

After Hosokawa Sawato left, Emperor Go-En'yū did not stay any longer.

But before leaving, he looked at Wei Wu again, and this time their eyes no longer met briefly.

Wei Wu could see that there was deep meaning in his eyes, but he couldn't read what it meant.

Wei Wu personally has always despised this kind of witty behavior. He can do it, but others can't.

So when he saw the look in Emperor Hou Yuanrong's eyes, he just smiled slightly and didn't even take it to heart, pretending not to see it.

Because the possible dispute was resolved, the atmosphere in the private room instantly improved after Emperor Hou Yuanrong and his men left.

According to Wei Wu's previous request, Inuyang Gouzhong arranged the courtesan to sit next to Shen Lin.

The result was that such a simple arrangement made Shen Lin's body stiff as if the computer had crashed.

Even his rough old face couldn't resist the blush. Yes, he actually blushed.

Seeing this scene, all his teammates started to make a fuss.

"Wow! Captain, I never thought you'd have this day. How come your face is so smooth~hey~!"

"Yeah, yeah! I didn't expect our captain would blush sometimes. This is new. The sun is rising from the west!"

"How can you say that about the captain? Even a monkey's butt can turn red, so how can our captain be any worse?"

Shen Lin couldn't stand his brothers' teasing, so he used the excuse of going to the bathroom, hurriedly got up, opened the door and walked out.

Just as he closed the door and turned around, he saw a man walking out of Hosokawa Sawato's private room.

Unexpectedly, after their eyes met, the man turned around and went back into the private room.
