Jinyi Night Walk

After Xia Xun and his party arrived in Kyoto, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu kindly invited them to live in Beishan Temple, because since Ashikaga Yoshimitsu became a monk, it has become the real political center of Japan today, and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's government affairs are all dealt with there.

However, Xia Xun declined Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's request and asked to live in the city of Kyoto. The reason was that it was the first time he returned to [Japan], and he had always yearned for Dongying Fuso. He hoped to see the local people of [Japan] nearby. The third is the mansion of His Excellency the General, which is heavily guarded and cannot see too many local customs.

The envoys of the Ming Dynasty were so interested in [Japan]. As the ruler, Yoshimitsu Zuyue felt that his face was radiant, so he happily agreed to Xia Xun's request and arranged them to the Imperial Palace of Hua. It was his residence when he was not a monk, and now it is the residence of his son, General Ashikaga Yoshichi, and his family members also live here.

When Xia Xun and his party came to the Imperial Palace of Hua, Ashikaga Yoshichi, who had already received the news, immediately went out to greet him in person, respectfully welcoming the return of the Great Angel and his father.In order to control the power of the temple, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu gave up the position of the general who conquered Yi to his son ten years ago, and became a monk himself.However, he is a monk who is drunk and wealthy, and everything is the same as before, and the power is firmly in his own hands. His son Yichi has no actual power.

Today, Yoshichi is a 19-year-old youth. In terms of demeanor, he is somewhat acquainted with his father, but after all, he is a young man with more vigor.Xia Xun found that although this Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's attitude towards Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and them was respectful, it was very problematic. When he saw Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, he was not as close as a normal son when he saw his father. It's just respect in etiquette. It can be seen from his eyes that he is different from his father. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is really close to and admires the culture and characters of the Central Plains from the bottom of his heart, but Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's superficial respect is below , with faint guard and a little disgust, he is still young, this kind of [true] state of mind cannot be perfectly concealed, maybe...he has never thought of concealing it.

Xia Xun immediately paid attention to him. He is the son of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the person who will be in charge of Japan's political power in the future, and whether Japan's policy towards China can continue, this person is very important.Xia Xun doesn't know the history of Japan. If he knew that this young man in front of him would immediately suspend trade with China, stop calling himself a vassal, and encourage bandits to plunder the country of "China" as soon as he was in power, then He now regards this young general as his opponent, but he doesn't know it yet.

However, Xia Xun found out that when Ashikaga Yoshimitsu went to Settsu Hyogo to meet them, the minister who reluctantly knelt down to greet them had a very close relationship with the young general Zheng Yi. After the two met, they chatted and laughed happily. The vigilance in my heart has increased again.

Many problems could not be discovered at the negotiating table. He immediately instructed He Tianyang to take advantage of the opportunity of "experience [Japanese] customs and customs..." to quickly get in touch with his local spies and find out about this minister. And the details of the general who conquered barbarians who is not in power right now are mainly their political leanings.

The tedious reception came to an end, Xia Xun and Zheng He were settled down, first bathed in fragrant soup, and then changed their clothes.

〖Japanese〗 people are very particular about bathing. The two of them were each invited into an exquisitely designed and meticulously designed bathroom, and then several gentle and beautiful girls were sent in to wait for them to take a bath. The two sent out.Zheng He has a [limb] defect and doesn't want to be seen by others, while Xia Xun is worried about Lu's ugly appearance, and his physiological reactions sometimes do not follow his will. He is a young and strong man, let A few young and beautiful girls are mopping around on him..." He didn't want to stand upright in front of a woman who was not his own.

The two simply took a shower, changed into the crown clothes, and were invited into the banquet hall decorated with colorful decorations, and began to dine with Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and the ministers and enjoy Japanese songs and dances, etc. It was all over, and Xia Xun and Zheng He, who were slightly drunk, were invited into an elegantly furnished room.The style of the room is very simple and elegant. The entire lattice wooden wall softens the sunlight, which fills the whole room and is very bright.

On the wall, there are several paintings and calligraphy with elegant colors, such as pine, bamboo, plum and crane, as well as several pictures of flamboyant and phoenix dancing written in Chinese characters.There is a long table on the floor, and there are cattails next to it... In the middle of the table are fresh flowers in bloom, and the Ding kiln porcelain cups that are as thin as paper and as moist as jade are filled with light green, Fragrant tea.

Everyone sat down one by one, and Xia Xun and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu sat on the futon in the middle, facing each other.On the left and right are the ministers and deputy envoys of both sides.Xia Xun's party first briefed the other party on the emperor's agreement to reopen the trade, and Zheng He stated some details, while the clerk wrote down the minutes of the negotiations between the two parties.

In fact, Zu'a and Feifu had already sent people to report these contents before they returned to China, and people from Ashikaga Yoshimitsu already knew about them, but this must be officially confirmed by the envoys of Ming Dynasty, so the contents of this stage It was just a statement process, and the two parties did not have any objections.

When all this is over, we will talk about the joint chopping. At this time, the ministers of the public samurai family below Zi Ashikaga Yoshimitsu all showed expressions of seriousness.

"About the joint efforts to encircle and suppress pirates, since the pirates of Inu Mingma only respond to their suppression in [Japan] Japan, we need your support and cooperation!"

Xia Xun said in a loud voice: "Pirates are not good for Daming, and it is not good for [Japan], especially now that we have established trade relations, they have become our common enemy! Your Excellency allows the Daming Fleet to borrow the seaport of [Japan] The dock is moored, rested, supplemented with supplies, and dispatched [Japanese] troops to help us fight the bandits together, His Majesty the Emperor is very pleased with this.”

"Your Excellency, since the two countries and the two armies are jointly suppressing the bandits, I would like to know who is in charge, who is in charge, who will decide, and who will command?"

It was the general who was unwilling to kneel down in Settsu Hyogo who spoke. Xia Xun glanced at him and asked, "This is..."

The man rested his hands on his knees, paused his head heavily, and said: "I am a righteous general, under the command of the general, he is in charge."

"Sure enough, he is one of the three leaders, and the leader of the three leaders, the most powerful general under Ashikaga Yoshimitsu."

Xia Xun quickly searched for the information he already had about this righteous general, and replied, "The pirates are now occupying Japanese islands. In many respects, bandits should naturally focus on [Japan], with His Majesty the King leading the overall situation. If you don’t enter...

Xia Xun's words changed, and he said again: "However, this is a war. In a war, there are always some emergencies and uncertain things that are not under control. If you just wait for instructions and orders, the fighter plane will be destroyed." Delayed. Therefore, officials who are unable to approach and command in time should be given full power to do it cheaply. According to our saying, this is called, the general is outside, and the emperor's order is not accepted!.

Taking the issue of our country’s official trip to Japan to discuss the joint killing of bandits as an example, it is inconvenient to go back and forth, and it takes several months for a piece of news to be communicated. How can this be done?So after my Emperor Ming made basic demands on me, he authorized me to do things cheaply. "

He looked at General Si Bo, and said again: "Master Guan Ling is a person who has led soldiers and fought in battle. He should know that the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is impossible to grasp everything in advance. Therefore, I think that the bandit suppression plan and coordinated operations , His Majesty the ancient king should make the highest decision, but in terms of specific implementation, in order to better combat the bandits, the bandit suppression army should be given full autonomy. Why did the country’s princes travel thousands of miles to Dongying? We are here to mediate and seek common ground while reserving differences Yes!"

Si Bo Yirong faintly felt that something was wrong. They had always been used to giving Daming a hat, a high hat, in exchange for many practical benefits. Your Excellency puts on a high hat of being in charge of the overall situation, but the actual autonomy is still in the hands of the Daming Navy.

The so-called battlefield situation is changing rapidly, so giving them full autonomy is not just letting them do whatever they want?If they want to fight at sea, that's fine; if they want to go ashore to chase down bandits, that's fine; it's okay to react in any way before the battle, anyway, it's "the fate of the foreign king will be accepted", no matter what mistakes they make or what they do As for the matter, as long as these two angels sit down with His Excellency the General afterwards to reconcile and seek reconciliation, it will be fine. How is this possible?

Shi Boyi was about to express his objection, but Ashikaga's eyes flashed slightly, and he smiled and said: "I agree!"

"This righteous general Sibo is hostile to us!"

"This Ashikaga Yoshimitsu has a very strange attitude!"

The two sides negotiated many aspects of the bandit suppression issue, some aspects were finalized on the spot, and some aspects needed further communication. Generally speaking, the results of this afternoon's negotiations were quite substantial.

Towards the evening, both sides were a little tired. At Xia Xun's suggestion, the negotiation was suspended and the two sides had a rest, and the meeting ended.

As soon as they returned to the residence where their own people were stationed and defended, Xia Xun and Zheng He expressed their opinions to each other at the same time.

Zheng He wondered, "What's weird about Ashikaga Yoshimitsu?"

Xia Xun shook his head and said, "It's just a feeling, a very strange feeling.

I was sitting opposite him, and I never ignored his demeanor and behavior, including every look in his eyes. I felt... as if he was deliberately pampering us. "

"Pamper us?"

"Yes, indulge us and Si Boyi will confront each other."

Zheng He was stunned, and said with a smile: "No, the Duke is probably suspicious. If he is a subject of [Japan], he may betray his master for glory. But he is the monarch of [Japan], how can he have a body?" For the monarch, who sold his own interests and his loyal subjects?"

Xia Xun smiled and said: "How does the father-in-law know that he is going to sell something instead of gaining something? And how do you know that the actions of General Si Bo can be judged as loyalty to him?"

Xia Xun said with deep eyes: "He Tianyang, went shopping, went, and when he comes back, maybe he will bring the [answer] we want.".I haven't slept much in the past two days, and I have a severe headache. I'm going to take a rest. Today's two shifts are over.I owe a change on the first day of junior high school, and I will post it when I wake up, asking for monthly tickets and recommendation tickets for support! @.
