In the 21st year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty, 1423 AD, on the second day of June in the 30th year of Yingying in Japan, in summer, the sky was cloudless, and Kyoto was extremely hot.

As early as the establishment of the Muromachi shogunate, the imperial family had already expressed disgust at the reappearance of a shogunate in Japan controlled by a general who conquered the world.The Northern and Southern Dynasties were formed because the royal family was unwilling to submit to the rule of the military regime.

With a Kamakura shogunate, the imperial family has had enough of the sin of losing all power and status, how can the Muromachi shogunate be allowed to appear again?As a result, powerful forces, including the court ministers and the royal family, began to undermine the stability of the shogunate regime.

The Southern and Northern Dynasties lasted for nearly a hundred years. Why?The reason lies in the irreconcilable conflict between the shogunate and the royal family. Although the Northern and Southern Dynasties are now unified, there are still many people in the royal family and ministers who are secretly opposing the Muromachi shogunate.

It can be said that the royal Xiaocanggong family stood against the shogunate in the open, while Konoe Xingyan was a representative figure who secretly colluded with the ministers.Some things, even if everyone is clear about them, can't be shown openly.Plane Travel Guide 1471

Konoe Xingyan was born in the Konoe family, one of the five ministers of Gongqing, and it can be said that it is a new generation of outstanding people cultivated by the Konoe family after Konoe Takashi.It stands to reason that he should be the best candidate to serve as the court regent Guan Bai.

However, due to his great reputation, the shogunate guarded him extremely strictly.After Konoe Tadashi retired from the position of Sheguan, so far, there have been no Konoe family members for three consecutive terms.

Although the Konoe, Takashi, Kujo, Ichijo, and Nijo clans among the Five Photographers were all allowed to serve as regents, but no one from the Konoe family came to power in the past 20 years. I have to say that the shogunate obstructed The wrist is quite strong.

Even after the reunification of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the regent Guanbai's position was shaken, and Jinwei's actions and words were not able to come to power.Due to the continuous obstruction of the shogunate, Konoe Xingyan's resentment towards the Muromachi shogunate has almost become a universally recognized fact.

"Your Majesty, Master Manjiao, everyone, perhaps everyone has heard the news. The opportunity we have been waiting for since March has finally appeared!"

Konoe Xingyan is 41 years old this year. He has received a good education since he was a child, and he has two black mustaches, which makes him look extraordinarily elegant.A court dress similar to that of the Tang Dynasty was worn on him, as if it had grown on it.Perhaps the only thing that makes people feel regretful is that the color of the court dress is only dark scarlet.

The Japanese political system and official customs and etiquette basically copied the Tang Dynasty, and the different official uniform colors of the ministers represented their different statuses.

Among them, the positive one and the secondary one are black and purple, while the positive, secondary and third are reddish purple.The dark crimson color worn by Konoe Xingyan represents the official status of the top four or the top four.

Even regardless of Konoe's own talents in his words and deeds, just because he was born in the first two Konoe clans among the five masters, at his age, his official position should not still be the status of the fourth minister of the great treasure.

It can be seen from this that how ruthless the shogunate suppressed him, and it is no wonder that Konoe became a staunch anti-shogunate.Even from the previous shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, Konoe's actions and words have been subject to targeted suppression by the shogunate.

Therefore, seeing Konoe stand up with a red face, and everyone present, from Emperor Shousuke to Shoseki Nijo Manjia, felt a long-lost emotion in everyone's heart.

Although Nijo Manjia is the regent Guanbai of the current court, he also knows that his talents are not enough to lead the court against the shogunate, so he is happy to see Konoe's rise to power - so what if he is squeezed out?The Five Photographers are united, and the real focus for the Five Photographers is to let someone who is more capable of leading the court to reverse the situation come to power!

"Yes, Aiqing, it is because of your hard work and hard work, and the earliest strategic decision, that the current situation is possible!" Emperor Saiko Kyohito has always been in poor health, and now he is only 25 years old. It was hard to even speak.

Just after finishing these few words, his already tired face turned sallow, and he couldn't stop panting.It seems that in the future, don't expect him to speak decisively, just take it as an observer!

The Ertiao Manjia immediately stood up, nodded with a smile and said, "Your Excellency Dazang, you have worked hard! Now that the court has waited for this opportunity, what should we do?"

Konoe Xingyan smiled slightly, gently brushed the mustache on his lips, and said loudly: "This is a good opportunity, we should seize the opportunity to get in touch with the envoys of the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible, and use external forces to overthrow the rule of the Muromachi Shogunate !"

Someone next to him couldn't help but feel worried: "But none of us know the envoys of the Ming Dynasty? Besides, using the external force of the Ming Dynasty to overthrow the shogunate, wouldn't it be an act of driving tigers and wolfs away?"

"That's right! If the imperial court of the Ming Dynasty takes the opportunity to take over the Japanese political arena, what should we do? That giant on the other side of the sea is more difficult to deal with than the Muromachi Shogunate!"

"If the fox is driven away, but the wolf is ushered back in, then it is really a foolish thing not worth the candle!" Plane Travel Guide 1471

Hearing everyone's discussion, even the Erjoman family, who has always believed in Konoe's words, couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and cautiously said: "Mr. The envoy Tang Shaozhe is not a simple person. It is said that he can not only summon wind and rain, but also control thunder and electricity, very powerful!"

"That is to say! Is such a character really something we can use casually?" All the ministers present were deeply worried about this.No one expected that the Ming court would actually send him to Japan.

The strategy of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf is indeed wonderful, but if the tiger suddenly turns into a dragon, it will not be good news.

"Oh? Ladies and gentlemen, have you all heard of the power of Tang Shaozhe, the master of the Ming Dynasty?" Konoe's words were a little surprised. When did the Japanese, who rarely pay attention to foreign countries, start to be so proficient in foreign affairs?

Immediately, someone smiled wryly and shook his head: "Master Da Zangqing, if there are still people who haven't heard of this fairy master, they are really ignorant to the extreme."

"That's right! It has already spread outside, and all kinds of legendary deeds about this immortal master are currently the most popular topic in Kyoto."

"It is said that this master of the state is an existence descended from the heavens. His status in the Ming country is extremely respected, and even the emperor of the Ming country needs to perform discipleship in front of him!"

"I heard that he also took the lead in reforming the military system of the Ming Kingdom, and almost rebuilt the entire military system of the Ming Kingdom. It was under his reforms that the Ming Kingdom's army has been able to fight from east to west in recent years, defeating countless powerful enemies in a row. , the annexation of land is more than hundreds of millions of acres?"

"Some people say that he is eight feet tall, and his waist is also eight feet. With a light touch of a finger, he can be filled with a thousand-ton force. If someone dares to offend him, even if he is in the sky, he will not be able to run away."

"It seems that he also has a divine tool, which is said to be able to imprison people's souls, and act according to his wishes every day. If he doesn't follow his will, he will be refining his soul in hell. It's really miserable!"

Although he said all kinds of things, the more he heard what Jin Wei said, the more surprised he became.These news are really basically correct, at least on many of the most fundamental issues, there is no difference with the materials he has mastered.

"But... I'm sorry, but how did you find out about it? It is said that news about this person has become popular in Kyoto today, so who is the instigator?"

Looking at the surprised Konoe's words and expressions, someone immediately explained: "It's the Kaicho businessman Sokyu Imai who sent the news back to the shogunate? Don't you know that Konoe-sama is from Kaicho? Where are the rich merchants!"

"Songjiu Imai? A wealthy businessman in Kaicho? But how could he know so clearly?"

"Of course, Cangfu's house, which is the most well-informed in Kaicho, is the property of the Imai family!"

"So that's how it is!" Konoe Xingyan's face suddenly became brilliant, and he stood there and thought for a moment before finally saying: "I'm sorry! Just after thinking about it, I still feel that there is something wrong with the plan. Vulnerabilities, contacting this person now is foolproof! Perhaps the key to our success this time needs to fall on this guy!"

"Oh? I would like to hear the details, Master Dazangqing! Please don't hesitate to enlighten me, I am very grateful."

"Hehehe, this matter still needs to be dealt with, so I won't mention it for the time being. Let me explain to you first, why we can use the power of the Ming country without worrying about the embarrassment of backlash. That is because the Ming country simply does not look down on Japan. This is such a long and narrow place. People who are used to eating top-quality sushi wouldn’t want to snatch half of a hard rice ball from a beggar on the street, would they?”

"Well, speaking of it this way, it really makes some sense! The Ming Dynasty has such a huge territory that it can't manage it, so how could it involve the Japanese archipelago at this time?"

"Oh, this is hard to say! I didn't hear that in the letter of credence handed to the shogunate, the people of the Ming Dynasty asked to cede Kyushu and Shikoku to give them a place to settle down and wipe out Japanese pirates and compensate for the loss of Ninghai Town last time!"

"Hehe, that's just a common tactic in diplomatic negotiations. Pay back the money on the spot! The country of Chinese etiquette, as long as His Majesty the Emperor compliments him when the time comes, what benefits can't be recovered? Ming people, What I want is face!"

"Hi!" Plane Travel Guide 1471

"My lord, where are we going?" Yuji Higashikawa, who just came out of the shogunate, just told the driver to go to the market, but he didn't say who to look for, and how to find it in the crowd?

"Oh! Let's go find the place where the wealthy businessman Imai Sokyu lived in the town, can you find it?" Dongchuan Yuji seemed to be a little absent-minded, and was reminded by his subordinates after a long time.

"Imai Zongjiu? Oh, I remembered, is that the wealthy businessman who brought back a copy of the capital's credentials from Jiecho? Just right, the villain just knows where he is at the moment. Sir, please sit still, this speeds up!"
