I am the king of the dead

Chapter 820 Either Don't Kneel, Or Kneel To The End

Is Yuan Bin's words arrogant?

In fact, no, because on the ground of Japan, Yuan Bin really has the final say on whether this place is chaotic or not.

Has Yuan Bin lost his obedience?No, because this is the main purpose of His Majesty's canonization of Yuan Bin as Shanye Gongfang.

A Wa country controlled by the people of Ming is more in the interests of Ming.

Yuan Bin silently watched the group of scholars heading towards the official building, shook his head and said, "Let's get ready to meet the Emperor of Japan again."

The actual rulers of the Wa Kingdom were daimyos and guardians from all over the country; in the official documents, the ruler was the Muromachi Shogunate of the Wa Kingdom, the Great General Ashikaga Yoshimasa who conquered barbarians; but the supreme ruler in name was the Emperor Back Garden.

Among the documents of the Wa Kingdom, the two Chinese characters of "Tianzi" are used to call the Emperor. It is obvious that the wolf ambition of the Wa Daihua is exposed. king.

It was after the subjugation of the Southern Song Dynasty that the Wa Kingdom was renamed the Son of Heaven.

The reason why the situation in the Wa Kingdom is so complicated is because of the traditional art skills and historical origins of the Wa Kingdom.

Yuan Bin has been active in Japan for so many years, and he has long been familiar with it.

After a lot of communication, the current Emperor of the Wa Kingdom finally decided to come to Sakai City to meet Yuan Bin, who had been identified as a Daming native.

This meeting is of great significance, because in the past dynasties, during the canonization of the Wa Kingdom by the Central Plains Dynasty, the emperor of the Wa Kingdom has never appeared in front of the envoys, and the regent Guanbai or the shogunate have always come forward.

And this negotiation has been in preparation for a long time.

The main reason for this meeting is that the political environment of the Wa Kingdom has been completely corrupted. The guardian daimyos are transforming into Warring States daimyos. There was a majestic wind force, that is, the wave of falling curtain, and the wind of falling curtain is getting stronger and stronger.

Everyone in the Wa Kingdom desperately hoped that the Wa Kingdom would return to its original appearance, and there was even a force that respected the emperor and begged for traitors, pushing the Emperor of the Back Garden to come forward to govern.

But this time, the Zunhuang faction pushed the emperor to go out of Kyoto and come to the Shouge of Honmaru Palace in Sakai City to meet with Mr. Yamano Yuan.

The demands of Emperor Hikohito of the Back Garden are:
I hope that Yamano Yuan Gongfang will completely replace the Muromachi Shogunate and become the official ruler of the Wa Kingdom, so that the Wa Kingdom can restore political stability and give everyone a chance to breathe;

It is hoped that Shanye Gongfang can send troops to pacify dissatisfied landlords from all sides, wipe out those famous landlords who caused a civil uprising, put an end to the chaos and clean up the world, restore the peaceful world of Japan, and let the light of the sun and the moon shine everywhere at home and abroad;

I hope to become brothers with Yuan Bin. In this way, Yuan Bin's son can be taken over by Emperor Hikoren of the Back Garden to succeed him, and then after the death of the Emperor of the Back Garden, he can succeed to the position of Emperor.

Youzi literally means the son of a brother, that is, nephew or niece. The reason why you don't call it that way is because "The Analects of Confucius Advanced" says: "Hui also treats the father of Jude, but not the son of Jude."

Youzi, which is equivalent to his own son, has the meaning of heir in the country of Wa.

In short, this time the Emperor of the Back Garden rarely came out to participate in politics, and the event of meeting with the biggest power lord on the ground of the Wa country aroused the eager attention of all parties.

"What is Ashikaga Yoshimasa doing?" Li Bing said with a solemn expression. It was a life-and-death meeting involving the Muromachi shogunate. The general of the Muromachi shogunate should respond.

Yuan Bin said with a complex expression: "Ashikaga Yoshimasa was so addicted to saru music and banquets that he couldn't help himself, and he left all the state affairs to Ise Sadakin and Ji Qiong Zhenrui to hear."

"Ise Zhenqin and Ji Qiong Zhenrui are also interesting. After you sang, I went on stage, and it was a good show. The famous people from all over the world were very dissatisfied with Ise Zhenqin, and Yise Zhenqin just went downhill. Replaced with Ji Qiong Zhenrui as the deacon of the government office."

"As a result, Ji Qiong Zhenrui has been working for more than a month, and there are more objections. This Ise Zhenqin has become the deacon of the government again."

Li Bing pondered for a long time and said, "Is it possible that Ashikaga Yoshimasa deliberately showed his ugliness to numb our vigilance towards him, and then hid in the dark to bite us?"

"If it were someone else, I might think so, but with Ashikaga Yoshimasa, that's really not possible." Yuan Bin's complexion became more complicated.

On the battlefield, underestimating the opponent is a big taboo for military strategists, and it is a mistake that anyone who leads troops in battle must avoid. A lion fights a rabbit with all his strength, this is a truth that even His Majesty understands.

Yuan Bin also didn't want to underestimate Ashikaga Yoshimasa, but Ashikaga Yoshimasa despises himself, and now the situation in Japan has reached the point where the emperor is out of the palace to meet Yuan Bin in Sakai City, instead of Yuan Bin going to Luo, this Ashikaga Yoshimasa is still there While having fun, he was still playing the trick of changing the "government office deacon" in the court.

The main energy of Ashikaga Yoshimasa is still manipulating power, which is too similar to Emperor Jianwen.

In the fourth year of Jianwen, Xu Huizu defeated Zhu Di, the king of Yan, in Qimeishan, and beheaded Li Bin. As a result, it was rumored in the capital of Nanya that the Yan army had retreated, and Emperor Jianwen recalled Xu Huizu.

It eventually led to the battle of Lingbi, Jianwen Lord was defeated, Yan Wang's army went south to enter the capital, Yan Wang became the emperor, and became the only successful case of a vassal rebellion in all dynasties.

Why did Jian Wenjun recall Xu Huizu?In the final analysis, it was still the civil servants in the court who were worried about the political manipulation of Wu Xun leading the troops outside and having too much power.

During the war, if you are still obsessed with political struggles, the war will inevitably fail.

"Isn't it possible that you are trying your best?" Li Bing was still a little worried.

"Even if he is trying his best, as long as we don't neglect our defenses, we will be fine." Yue Qian said, "If you can't get it on the battlefield, everything you do will be futile."

Yue Qian experienced all the games in the battle of the capital, and also failed in the battle of the capital first, which led to having to return the Supreme Emperor Jili King back to the capital.

The outcome of the battlefield determines the distribution of benefits.

King Yan's ascension to the throne was not achieved by King Yan pretending to be crazy in the Yan Mansion. It was King Yan who defeated Lord Jianwen's army time and time again, and finally won the throne.

"That's true. Let's get ready to meet the emperor of the back garden." Li Bing nodded in agreement with Yue Qian's words. This is the Wa country, a purgatory on earth, where hordes of warlords swarm. Here, big fists are the biggest reason.

In the early morning of the next day, when the sky was getting dark, Yuan Bin changed into the python suit given by His Majesty, and sat in the Palace Guard Pavilion, waiting for the Emperor in the back garden to come to meet him.

And beside him was a question book, on which were written the conditions of Shanye Gongfang.

This is the second time Yuan Bin has met Emperor Yanren of the Back Garden. The last time was when Yuan Bin went to Kyoto to find a souvenir for His Majesty, and took away the second of the three artifacts from the imperial palace of the Japanese kingdom. When mourning, things become more important.

This is the second meeting now.

Then Emperor Yanren of the Back Garden followed Ji Duo step by step to the Honmaru, looking at the densely-covered arrow towers, thinking about how Yuan Bin captured this indestructible Honmaru in the first place overnight.

Compared with the dilapidated state of the imperial city of Kyoto, the shrine pavilion of Honmaru in Sakai Castle is resplendent.

Hikohito walked up the steps step by step, stood in front of the door and thought for a long time. He had persuaded Ashikaga Yoshimasa to take state affairs seriously, but Ashikaga Yoshimasa not only did not listen to his advice, but refused his summons. As a result, the Zunhuang faction decided to try to replace the shogun.

Many daimyos got the news that he, the emperor, was coming to Sakai Castle, but Ashikaga Yoshimasa disappointed again, and Ashikaga Yoshimasa did not do anything to stop him.

Before coming to Sakai Castle, Hikohito still had the last illusion about Ashikaga Yoshimasa. At least the survival of the Muromachi Shogunate should be very important to Ashikaga Yoshimasa.

But obviously, Ashikaga Yoshimasa did not take any countermeasures.

After thinking about what he was here for, Yan Ren stepped into the gate of Dian Shou Pavilion.

"Yuan Gongfang is famous for his bravery. Even in the imperial city of Kyoto, there are two people. When we saw each other today, they are really extraordinary." Yanren came to the hall, walked a few steps with a smile on his face, and slapped Yuan Bin. Say hello.

Yuan Bin remained silent, putting aside Yan Ren's enthusiasm.

Because Li Bing was the angel of Ming Dynasty, Yan Ren should first greet the envoy of Ming Dynasty before Yuan Bin spoke.

Yuan Bin actually knew what Yan Ren was thinking. Yan Ren didn't greet the Da Ming Angel because he wanted to ignore Yuan Bin's status as a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, and then negotiated with Shan Ye Yuan Gongfang under the framework of the Wa Kingdom, and locked the two parties in the negotiation as the Emperor of the Wa Kingdom and the Wa Kingdom. Negotiations between the princes maintained the previous political system of the Wa Kingdom, and the shogunate regency maintained a trace of decency.

But Yuan Bin just didn't show him face, and he insisted on waiting until Yan Ren greeted the envoy of Ming Dynasty before speaking.

There was silence in the Dian Shou Pavilion for a while, but as soon as they met, Shanye Yuan Gongfang had already started to put pressure on him.

At this moment, Yan Ren wanted to rush out of the door. The emperor sect behind him didn't know what kind of evil spirit he was going to face.

"I've seen the envoy of Ming Dynasty." Yanren had no choice but to salute Li Bing.

Li Bing raised his head halfway, and looked at Yan Ren silently. At this time, Yan Ren still refused to kneel down. Will not speak.

What's more, this is a king of a vassal state called "Son of Heaven".

Can the word Tianzi be used casually?
In the first year of Jingtai, the Ming Dynasty sent an envoy to North Korea to confer the title of King of Korea. Li Hongwei, the heir of the Joseon King, refused to kneel down to meet the angel, because North Korea felt that Daming was in the orthodox 14th year, and he was beaten by tiles. of deterrence.

The envoys of the Ming Dynasty left the meeting angrily, and returned to the Ming Dynasty with the canonized edict. Then there was a dispute between the envoys of the Joseon Dynasty and Hu Wei, Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, over the annotations of the feudal rites in the Fengtian Hall.

And "Fan Guoyi Notes" was edited by Hu Wei himself, and Hu Shangshu couldn't be more clear about the terms and conditions in it.

What happened to Prince Li Hongwei?Because of the delay in obtaining the canonization of Ming Dynasty, the situation inside and outside the court was unstable, so Li Yu, the fourth uncle of Shouyang Maharaja and Wang Shizi, took his place.

This seems to be arguing for courtesy, but in fact it is for profit.

It was the Zunhuang faction who led Yanren to the palace guarding the pavilion to discuss matters. This was a game of interests at the beginning. In this regard, it is absolutely impossible for Li Bing to give in.

While Yanren was still hesitating, Li Bing stood up suddenly, ready to leave, and seeing Li Bing stand up, Yuan Bin also stood up.

Since you are unwilling to let go of your face, then don't talk about it.

The pressure once again came to Yanren's side. Yanren had no choice but tossed his sleeves quickly, knelt down slowly, and shouted loudly: "Yanren, the head of Wende Academy after the Japanese Kingdom, greeted the envoy of Ming Dynasty, long live your majesty, long live, long live age."

Yan Ren's kneeling ceremony was not to kneel down to envoys, but to kneel down to the Ming emperor, which was also the rule in Fan Guoyi Notes.

Yanren's self-proclaim is also very interesting. He calls himself the head of Wende, not the emperor. The Japanese people also know very well. In front of the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, whenever they say those two words, Daming has to give up even if he is too lazy to fight the Japanese country. Do everything possible to sweep the Japanese domestic and foreign, Liting.

Li Bing represented the will of the Ming emperor.As an emperor, Zhu Qiyu didn't like others to kneel, but as a courtier, he needed people to kneel down to salute His Majesty.

Li Bing finally sat down satisfied, and Yuan Bin also sat down, and this unfair negotiation began.

During the negotiation process, Yanren had to keep kneeling like this.

"I have an inscription book here, which is our condition. It is called "Seventeen Articles of Prohibited China and Public Laws". If the later Master Wende is willing to agree, and the later Master Wende asks, I can also agree." Yuan Bin handed the title book in his hand to Yanren.

Yan Ren knelt on the ground and opened the seventeen items. After reading it, he was dumbfounded.

Yuan Bin said slowly: "The first one is to prohibit all the pronouns for the word "Tianzi" in all documents.

"I have a few history books compiled by your Japanese country in my hand, and they all use the word "Tianzi" in them. If these are sent back to Daming, His Majesty can only send the Daming navy to ask you, who is the Son of Heaven?"

In fact, His Majesty already knew that the clerks of the Wa Kingdom referred to the Emperor as the Son of Heaven, but His Majesty didn't care much about it. His Majesty only cared about Wa Yin for the Wa Kingdom.

Your Majesty may not care, but the ministers cannot.

If these few documents written by the Japanese government were sent back to Daming, even the most appeaseable and most unwilling to start a war, the literati and inkmen in the court would have to call out the Japanese pirates for arrogance and treason.

Even if His Majesty is too lazy to deal with the Wa Kingdom, he has to prepare the navy to plan carefully and completely wipe out the Wa Kingdom.

Emperor Zhaozong of the Northern Yuan Dynasty claimed to be the Son of Heaven. Zhu Yuanzhang and Emperor Zhaozong fought for nearly 20 years, but in the end they did not destroy Emperor Zhaozong's title. Ting.

"No matter what the outcome of the meeting is, this article must be implemented, otherwise, no one can guarantee what will happen." Li Bing added: "This is a prerequisite for negotiations."

The first of these is the abolition of the Japanese royal family that has continued to this day.

Yan Ren never expected that Yuan Bin's first rule would be so harsh, and the pressure doubled.

Yuan Bin said extremely indifferently: "Either you don't kneel, or you kneel to the end. Since you want to choose war, I can fight for you."

　After the Southern Song Dynasty, in all Japanese historical materials, the emperor was called the emperor, which is obviously a kind of arrogance.Ask for a monthly ticket, woohoo! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
