Bright Spring

Family governor Ouchi Shengjian was unwilling to be an enemy of the Ming Dynasty, and even advocated restoring the policy of the former general, continuing to conduct exploration and trade with Daming, and using the ports of Zhoufang and Chikuqian under his control to open up trade and get rich.But the Ouchi family could not violate the will of Muromachiden, let alone be hostile to all guardian daimyos, so they chose to obey Muromachiden's orders.

Therefore, the Ouchi family was only responsible for securing the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, and the rest of the matter was left to the people of the Muromachi Hall.

Yao Fang finished reading what Ouchi Sheng wrote, and felt an unknown fire in her heart.After all Ouchi

Sheng Jian's retainer Mao Li Zhenchang not only deceived Qian Xili and others, but also said a lot of good things, which turned out to be all hypocritical lies!

Such a deceitful deception made Yao Fang suspicious of Ouchi Katsuki, a Japanese.But Yao Fang thinks about it, she has been fine for so long, it seems that Da Nei Sheng does not want to betray herself.

So why is Ouchi taking the risk?Yao Fang couldn't believe it at this time, and the reason was the so-called friendship of meeting by chance.Yao Fang quickly remembered the 200 million copper coins she had promised.

Yao Fang has lived here for a long time, and it stands to reason that the limelight has passed. The longer Yao Fang stays here, the greater the risk of Da Nei Sheng. Why does Da Nei Sheng not think of a way to send Yao Fang away?I guess it's still a question of how to pay.

Ouchi Katsuki is also very calm, he has never said anything clearly, and is still blurring the superficial friendship and sincerity between the two.

At this time, Yao Fang felt a little lucky. He didn't mention his relationship with the Daming royal family, but only said that he was a wealthy businessman;

But Qian Xili should know Yao Fang's identity, and I don't know if Qian Xili confessed now.

Both of them were quiet for a while, and occasionally looked at each other, but they didn't understand each other's mind.Communication through writing still seems to be separated by a layer, and it is impossible to observe the timely emotions of the other party while speaking.

Some people from Ouchi Katsukasuya County and Hakata Port came to the court, who probably have judicial and police powers). I am afraid that they are here to arrest you. Kasuya County has become more and more dangerous.

General Yao Fang Da Nei has saved my life, and I can't bear to be involved.If you can't leave this place, please give me a knife to kill yourself, otherwise I will be disturbed if you are implicated.

Katsuo Ouchi, I'm looking for a ship in the sea. It's best to take you to North Korea. Going to Tsushima Island is easy to be reported.You must not rush.

If Yao Fang finds a ship to North Korea, General Ouchi will send a confidant to follow.I know officials sent by Daming in North Korea, so I can borrow money first and give it to your people to bring it back, so as not to find a way to thank General Ouchi in the future.

When Da Neisheng saw the words written by Yao Fang, his eyes seemed to show a gleam of joy.Seeing this, Yao Fang breathed a sigh of relief.

Damn, he knew earlier that it was only because of the 200 million Wen, why did he suffer so long here? Two million Wen, that is, two thousand guan, whether it is Shen Xu's business gang or Yao Fang's Marquis family property, it is easy to raise money.

Ouchi Katsu, I will find a ship to North Korea as soon as possible.

After finishing writing, he stood up and bowed, "Farewell."

Yao Fang clasped her fists and said, "General Da Nei, please don't send me far away."

After sending away Da Nei Sheng, Yao Fang has great expectations.Because after many contacts with people in Japan, he found that their attitudes were very hypocritical, for example, they were very respectful just now, and they might say bad things behind their backs when they turned around; but in terms of specific affairs, they seemed to be more trustworthy.

Yao Fang shook his head, finding it hard to reason, he just wanted to get out of this place as soon as possible.

When the eunuch Zhou Quan advised him many times, Yao Fang should have followed the eunuch's advice.But who would have thought that Muromachiden would do such a thing?If it could be predicted, even Qian Xili would not come.

Chapter 794 A Smart Break

Those in charge of apprehending Yao Fang are members of Chisong's family, the head of the waiter.

The capital attaches so much importance to this fish that escaped the net, because they interrogated Yao Fang's identity: he is the son of the Marquis of the Ming Dynasty and the eldest brother of the Xianfei Concubine of the Ming Dynasty.In addition to the information obtained from the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, the "monk spies" arrested in temples in Kyushu and other places also corroborated Yao Fang's identity.

As early as the period of the former general Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the samurai had already effectively controlled the power of temples and shrines; so Muromachiden discovered earlier that some Han monks had come to the temple.Not long ago, under the order of His Royal Highness Muromachi, the waiter had arrested all those people and the Han Chinese monks who were suspected of being spies.

Most of the officials in the capital believed that this Yao Fang was a relative of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he might be in charge of leading spies; as long as Yao Fang was caught, he should be able to get a lot of news...

The real power minister at the center of the Muromachi Hall is divided among several major samurai families.In addition to the three leaders who assist General Zhengyi, there are "four positions" in charge of finance, torture, documents, and litigation, which are appointed by the four families in turn.The Akamatsu family now leads the official position of the waiter, which belongs to one of the "four positions".

The Akamatsu family attached great importance to Yao Fang's affairs, and he led the crowd to stay near Hakata Port for at least a month.A group of people first secretly investigated, and then publicly interrogated the relevant people.

Before Yao Fang's "disappearance", all the local military officials who visited and gave gifts were repeatedly questioned by the officials of the court.But Chisong gradually discovered that none of those people seemed to have any relationship with Yao Fang.

The search turned up nothing, and a long time passed.The Chisong family had to guess that Yao Fang might have escaped.

Akamatsu Yoshinori, then the "head" of the servants and the governor of the Akamatsu family, heard the unfortunate news and decided to tell the general Ashikaga Yoshichi the result.So he took the guard of honor with his entourage and rushed to the general's residence.

The reason why Muromachi Hall has this name is that the former general who unified the Southern and Northern Dynasties lived in the "Flower Palace", also known as Muromachi Hall; therefore, Muromachi Hall refers to the actual power center of Japan.However, the new general, Ashikaga Yoshichi, has now moved away from the Hana no Yusho and lives in the large courtyard of Nijobo;

When Chi Songyi came to Ertiaofang, he found that there were already several ministers of the samurai family waiting outside the main hall, and the general was obviously not at the mansion.

The retainers of the Ashikaga family received Akamatsu Yoshinori and behaved very politely.After all, the Akamatsu family is not only a powerful guardian among the nations, but also made great contributions to the Ashikaga family, especially when they put down the "Mingde Rebellion".

Chi Songyi asked, "Where did the general go?"

The retainer only said that the general was not at the house, and then took out the things the general wrote when he left home.

Chi Songyi took it, and seeing that it was written in Chinese characters, he bent down and read it carefully in Chinese: "Autumn desolation, long letter, beautiful woman sings, and the path has no medium to go to Yuanyin. Honor, disgrace, sorrow and joy are the current affairs, and the grace of the king is shallow." Fang Shen."

When he read it for the first time, Akamatsu Yoshimi already remembered that this poem was written by the monk Yixiu. It is very well written and very famous.But he still re-read it a second time before handing it back to the retainers of the Ashikaga family.

At this time, Akamatsu Yoshinori had roughly guessed the general's intentions.It's just that Chisong needs to meditate again before he can fully understand the general's deep meaning.So he sat down on his knees in the waiting room outside the main hall, closed his eyes and began to comprehend the Zen machine.

Yixiu was not originally called Yixiu. He took the Taoist title of "Yixiu" after he went to Xijin Temple to pay homage to Master Qianweng as his teacher. It was about two years ago.Ikkyu's original identity was the son of the current emperor, but because of court battles, he was sent to a temple by his mother for education.

Although Yixiu has lived in the temple for many years, his emperor's father still has feelings for him.General Ashikaga Yoshichi personally paid a visit to Monk Ikkyu this time, and he may be expressing his favor to the Emperor from various aspects.

The emperor itself has no power, but there are many forces in the country that support the emperor, including those ministers of the Kamakura government and some members of the samurai family.

Moreover, there was a little misunderstanding about the relationship between General Yoshichi and the current Emperor.

The reason is that the former general Ashikaga Yoshimitsu liked his son and brother Ashikaga Yoshimitsu; Yoshimitsu once introduced his youngest son to the emperor, meaning that he wanted to change the qualifications of the successor of the Muromachi Hall.But after Ashikaga Yoshimitsu died violently, the eldest son Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, who had real power, still became the general who conquered the barbarians.

Chi Songyi thought for a long time, thinking: Facing the threat of the Ming Dynasty, General Yoshichi used his actions and transcribed poems to express the difficulty of decision-making.

"The general is here." Someone outside said, interrupting Akamatsu Yoshinori's "meditation".

So Chi Songyi walked out of the waiting room with other ministers of the samurai family, walked north from different corridors, and came to the main hall.It was only then that Chisongyi realized that the people from the Ouchi family had also come.

In a large room, there is a large screen.General Yoshichi knelt down in front of the screen, his posture very upright.All the people who entered the audience were from martial arts families from all over the world. Everyone kneeled and sat under the general in an order of top and bottom, and then bowed to the superior.

Ashikaga Yoshichi was a man of less than 30 years old, probably about the same age as Emperor Zhu Gaoxu of the Ming Dynasty.Yoshimogi first looked at Akamatsu.So Akamatsu reported in detail the fruitless search for Ming spies in Hakata Port.

Akamatsu had already explained in detail the efforts he had made in his narration, so General Gimochi did not blame him.The general then looked at the Ouchi family.

Although the Ouchi family has been weakened, it is still a strong guardian of the West Country; and the threat of the Ming Dynasty is likely to be the first to threaten the territory guarded by the Ouchi family.

The vassals that Ouchi Sheng met bowed, and said in Kyoto dialect: "The governor still wants to persuade the general. Perhaps it is a better way to negotiate with Ming. But if the general and the guardians of the various countries are determined to fight, the governor promised that the generals of the Ouchi family will It is incumbent upon you to charge forward for the general."

Gigi didn't speak, but nodded slightly.

The Da Nei family said again: "The new king of the Ming Dynasty, after Emperor Wude ascended the throne, pursued the national policy of using troops abroad. Conquering Mongolia in the north and attacking Annan in the south, if our country angers Emperor Wude, it is very likely to invite foreign aggressors. Taking advantage of the opportunity to wipe out the Japanese pirates, occupying Tsushima Island and building more fortresses, there are already signs of invading our country; otherwise, why would the Ming Dynasty want to defend the isolated island?"

At this time, Shiba Yoshishige, who had just won the position of governor of the Shiba family, immediately raised his objection: "If there is a little trouble in the Ming Dynasty, our country will kneel down and ask for peace, it will appear that the Muromachi Temple is weak and incompetent! It will damage the reputation of the general and the country. Not a good thing."

Ouchi said: "Guanling (Shiba Yoshishige), please calm your anger. Akamatsutou (the head of the waiter) can testify, judging from the interrogation of the Ming people, Emperor Taketoku wanted to attack Japan for the sake of Ishimiko. Silver mines. All kinds of news and signs are definitely not groundless."

"Ha!" Shiba Yishige sneered, "Iwami State-owned Silver Mine, why didn't I know?"
