Jinyi Night Walk

The "female royal carriage" trembled along the boulevard. In the narrow space inside the carriage, only Xia Xun and Haruhi Ju were kneeling across from each other. There was a small window with bamboo curtains on the side, and streams of light came in. The flickering light and flickering reflected on Kasuga Ju's bright and charming face, making it even more suffocating.

"It's really rude to invite Your Excellency in such a place again!

"I think Madam must have a reason for doing this as a last resort?

"Yes! I'm visiting Your Excellency in such a secret, because... I want to get Your Excellency's help?

"Oh? What kind of help does Madam want?"

Bureau Kasuga gave Xia Xun a heavy nod, and said solemnly: "I hope that Daming can support my son Yisi to become a general!"

Xia Xun's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked, "Is this... the general's intention, or Mrs. Kasuga Bureau's intention?

Bureau Kasuga pursed his lips, and said: "The general loves Yisi very much, and he intends to make him his heir, but there are many troubles in the operation. As for asking your Excellency for help, it is Kasuga Bureau's personal intention. The conversation between Your Excellency and Yisi Conversation, I already know, I think... As your Excellency is an angel, these words will not be spoken casually, I can understand it as: Do you intend to help us?,

Xia Xun said sternly: "The general admires the culture of the Celestial Dynasty, and is willing to serve as a vassal. This is a good thing for both countries. However, Yi Chi, the heir of Your Excellency the General, seems to have a deep hostility towards my Ming Dynasty. According to my understanding, the people gathered under him The daimyos around me are all the same people. I don’t want the relationship I’ve single-handedly facilitated to be ruined one day, so... as you said, if possible, I’m willing to help you.”

Kasuga Bureau immediately asked: "Excuse me, sir, is this your personal intention, or His Majesty's intention?

Xia Xun said: "You can think that it is my personal meaning now. But if you can show enough sincerity, then it is my Emperor Ming's meaning!"

Kasuga Bureau paused and said: "Understood! My son is the general's youngest son, and he had no chance to become a general since the general had already established an heir.

But the general likes him very much, intentionally... At this time, even if my son doesn't want to be an enemy of his elder brother, he will become his inevitable enemy.I did this to protect myself...

Xia Xun interrupted her unceremoniously, and said: "If Madam is only doing it for self-protection, then there is no need for us to talk any further.

Bureau Kasuga raised his eyes in surprise, and Xia Shi said, "I'm not interested in who is right or wrong between the two brothers Yoshichi and Yoshitsuru. Frankly speaking, the only reason why I am determined to support His Highness Yoshizu is because His Highness Yoshichi treats me so well. Full of hostility. Promoting Sino-Japanese trade and friendly exchanges is the wish of General Ashikaga Yoshimitsu in Japan, and it is Yang's effort in Daming. I don't want my hard work to be ruined. However, if you want to persuade Our emperor supports His Highness Yisi, not only need you to show enough sincerity, but also let us see hope!,

Bureau Kasuga gritted his teeth and said, "Your Excellency, if we are sure, we won't try to use your help!

Xia Xun shook his head and said, "You have misunderstood me. The hope I said does not mean that you already have an advantage over the other party in terms of strength. I mean determination! If you want to do it, do it to the end. , just holding the idea of ​​accumulating strength to protect yourself, no matter how powerful you are, with the blessing of God Amaterasu, it is impossible to succeed.,

Xia Xun said solemnly: "From the moment you decide to start fighting, the fight is no longer about success or failure, but life and death! If you succeed, you will live, if you lose, you will die! There is no third way to go. Either you don't fight, or you fight. Fight to the death, do you understand?

The expression on Kasuga Bureau's beautiful cheeks changed several times. After thinking for a long time, he lowered his head respectfully and said, "Thanks to your advice, I understand!

Xia Xun said: "Okay, then, now, Madam, please tell me frankly, since Your Excellency the General is also interested in His Royal Highness, what difficulties do you have to solve?"

Kasuga Bureau said: "On the one hand, the righteous heir is still young, and the general is old. The general intends to pass on the righteous heir, but he has no idea whether he will live to the adulthood of the righteous heir, so he cannot be abolished rashly now. The general position of Yoshichi. After all, Yoshichi is also his son. Even if he cannot inherit his policies, the Ashikaga family will always be in power. If you rashly appoint a young son without guaranteeing the transfer of power, it will be easy to be controlled by the daimyo , becomes a puppet.,

Xia Xun nodded and said, "Is there anything else?

Kasuga Bureau said: "There is another problem, that is, General Shiboyi is in charge of Yoshimoji, and General Shiboyi is the most powerful daimyo under the general's command. He has the most territories and troops, and the general cannot ignore him. Attitude.,

Xia Xun said: "As far as I know, Guanling Hosokawa supports you?

The leader of the Kasuga Bureau said: "Yes, the general succeeded at the age of 11. Today, it is all thanks to the support of the Hosokawa family. But Hosokawa Yorimoto suffered a big defeat when he attacked the Southern Dynasty, and Shibo Yoshi will replace him as the general. , but won the victory, and the momentum was booming. We took the opportunity to squeeze out the Hosokawa family and replace them, becoming the most powerful force under the general's command. Now, relying on the support of the Hosokawa family alone, we are not enough to compete with General Shiboyi. ,

In fact, behind the decline of the Hosokawa family, there is the shadow of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu himself. He began to serve as a general at the age of 11. He was still a child at that time. , the greatest help at the time has become his greatest resistance. He needs to get rid of Hosokawa's shadow and establish his own authority.

It was he who planned behind the scenes that Spoel replaced Hosokawa as the head of the three leaders.It's just that from time to time, and now, the big-tailed Siboyi will become the biggest obstacle for him to carry out his political views and inherit power. Now he needs to support the Hosokawa family and suppress the Sipo family.However, if the teacher comes from an unknown name, it will inevitably lead to strong opposition from the big names. At first they took the opportunity of the Hosokawa family to take advantage of the big defeat of the Hosokawa family, but now they can't find a strong excuse. The embarrassment of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu right here.

Hearing this, Xia Shi basically understood the meaning of the Kasuga Bureau, and he even had some doubts. The private meeting of the Kasuga Bureau today was acquiesced by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, just like Zhu Yuan wanted to make Zhu Gaoxu the crown prince, so he indulged Some small actions of Zhu Gaoxu are the same: "Politics...

Xia Xun sighed secretly, and asked, "Then what is the opinion of Tian Shan, one of the three leaders?"

Kasuga Bureau said angrily: "The Tianshan family's power is relatively weak, so they refuse to make a choice easily. The old man Tianshan Jiguo is as cunning as a fox!"

"Is that so...

Xia Xun pinched his chin and thought for a while, then said: "I understand, I will report the completely different attitudes of the two highnesses Yisi and Yiji towards me, and report to His Majesty Huangping. I believe His Majesty will make a wise choice. Help you in every way.

Bureau Kasuga was overjoyed and asked happily, "Da Ming, how can you help me?

Xia Xun said with a half-smile: "Your Excellency General, the title of king was conferred by my Emperor Ming. If his heir wants to inherit power, he should be recognized by my Emperor Ming, so it is in line with the law and title. If the righteous heir Your Highness can visit my Daming from time to time, and get the appreciation and recognition of my Emperor Ming. Will this make the famous people who are pro-Ming gather around His Highness Yisi?

I heard that the General has brought His Highness Yoshinori to court banquets many times, with the purpose of gaining the Emperor's approval?Is the attitude of my Ming emperor stronger than that of the emperor?Furthermore, as soon as the tribute trade is opened, the actual benefits are there. Whoever gets the survey and cooperation will have the opportunity to make money. You can make a list of the big names who have different attitudes towards our Ming Dynasty. Some people can get the survey and cooperation, and some If you don't get it, will there be more daimyos and guardians who stand by your side?

Of course, there can be more direct means, military assistance!However, this is the last resort, and it is also a last resort. I think that no matter whether it is Your Excellency the General or Madam, you are unwilling to use this method to determine the ownership of the General. If you really want to go this far, at least It was when the general's lifespan had expired, and His Royal Highness Yisi had not yet obtained power in a clear and orderly manner. ,

Bureau Kasuga bowed down respectfully: "I assure you, Your Excellency, if the righteous heir becomes a general, he will definitely stick to his father's policy, and will always be friendly with Daming, and will always be a minister of Daming!"

always welcome

A politician's promise is less reliable than a prodigal son's pledge of eternal love. Xia Shi would rather hold the initiative firmly in her own hands than rely on a promise.

But judging from the expression on his face, he believed it. He looked happily at Kasuga Bureau, lowered his voice, and said quietly: "These things I said need to be decided by the Emperor Ming, and right now, we actually have to can do some things

Right now there are only the two of them, a lonely man and a widow, squeezed into such a small sedan chair, this sentence seems a bit ambiguous.Fortunately, Bureau Kasuga was much more enthusiastic about her son's future and power than men and women, so she didn't misunderstand. Her eyes lit up, and she immediately asked, "What do you mean?"

Xia Xun said: "Using troops is the next strategy. All other measures are to strengthen your strength and suppress General Shibo. In fact, we can also start from the side of General Sibo to weaken his strength." , draw the salary from the bottom of the pot, or the goal can be achieved without bloodshed, wouldn't everyone be happy?

Kasuga Bureau's breath became short of breath, and he couldn't wait to ask: "So, what should we do?

Xia Xun smiled mysteriously: "There is a chance now...
