In late July, Sheng Yong's memorial finally entered Beijing.
However, there was no surprise news like the Big Silver Mine, and there was surprise.
Muromachi-den general Ashikaga Yoshihisa was assassinated and died. The Ming Dynasty court was most likely to have to re-enthrone a man named Ashikaga Yoshitsugu as the king of Japan, with additional conditions attached.
In addition to a group of Japanese, there were also Ming official Liu Ming and the escorts of the official army.
They were taking a boat in Hakata Bay and coming to the capital from the sea, so they entered the city from the outer Jinchuan Gate and headed towards the southeastern imperial city.
On several bridges south of the Imperial College, it was the bustling afternoon, and pedestrians were bustling on the bridge.People were all attracted by the team and watched from the road.
In the crowd, Du Erlang, the governor of Jinyiwei North, was about to go to the imperial city to give his sister an old stool.
There were two Japanese in the team carrying a small wooden house, which was very strange; the Japanese who were riding a horse with a stick in front were also dressed differently than those of the Ming sages.No wonder people are watching strange things.
Although Du Erlang is a nobleman, he has not read many books and has never performed such scenes in the play, even he finds it very strange.
At this time, Du Erlang was not wearing an official uniform, but was wearing a cloth robe and carrying an old short stool in his hand, as if he was a commoner.
He asked the man next to him: What are those people carrying?
The man shook his head and gestured: The box is not like this, and the coffin should be longer, I don’t know.
Another man with a goatee on his mouth and shaking a paper fan said actively: They are Japanese.The one who rides a horse and holds a stick is wearing Tang Dynasty clothing and Japanese swords. Today, the North Korean and Annan countries are educated in the Ming Dynasty clothing, and only Japanese people wear this way.What was carried in the middle was a sedan chair, not a coffin, but a living person inside.
Du Erlang immediately smiled and said: Sir, I have good insight.
Goatbeard was very proud and shook the fan calmly.
The man next to him said: It’s actually a sedan chair, how frustrating the people riding in the sedan chair!
Goatee said: Only Japanese with status can sit.The person holding the staff in front may be an envoy, and most of the person riding in the sedan chair is a woman.
After the group passed by, everyone saw clearly and dispersed.Du Erlang followed him because he also went to the imperial city.
When we arrived outside Hongwu Gate, we saw a civil servant, a military general, and a eunuch standing at the door to greet us.Du Erlang was not in a hurry, so he waited behind first.
The Japanese envoy in the team had dismounted and stood there and bowed to the greeting officials.
The official also bowed and returned the ceremony and reported himself to the official of the Ministry of Rites.
They simply answered each other in Chinese, roughly asking whether the envoy was healthy or not.
Then the officials of the Ministry of Rites asked the envoys to stay at the Imperial City Huitong Hall. After three days of rest, the Honglu Temple set up a banquet to entertain the envoys.
The general asked the envoy to unravel the sword, which was kept by the Hongwu Gate defenders and returned when they left the capital.
Civil servant Liu Ming suddenly asked the eunuch who came: How can Qiu Yuezhi settle down?
The eunuch said: There is no arrangement in the palace, so I will stay in Huitong Hall for a while.
Those people entered Hongwu Gate one after another, and Du Erlang did not disturb their etiquette, and then he carried the stool to Hongwu Gate.
He did not show the seal, and the general guarding the gate recognized him, came up to exchange greetings, and let Du Erlang in.
Du Erlang walked north along Qianbulang, crossed the Wulong Bridge, entered Chengtianmen and Duanmen, and arrived at the Meridianmen.
The Meridian Gate is the territory where the Jinyiwei is in charge of the vigilance. All the soldiers of the Jinyiwei on duty come to greet him and asked Du Erlang what he was holding a stool.
Du Erlang did not answer.At this time, the eunuch on duty at the Wumen Gate came over and asked: Is the Marquis going to enter the palace?
Does my outfit seem to be going to the palace?Du Erlang said, let’s do some private matters today, and this bench will be picked up by the people from Shufei Palace later.I'm worried about keeping it for my father-in-law.
The eunuch looked at the bench curiously and said: What is the point of this thing?
Du Erlang said: My father-in-law doesn’t need to pay attention. You can check whether there are any illegal things hidden, just follow the rules.
The eunuch bowed and said: Don't worry, I can't lose it.
Du Erlang then said goodbye with his fists and turned around and left the Meridian Gate.He walked for a while, then looked back at the direction of the palace, and thought to himself: My elder sister wants multiple companions again, she is still a Japanese woman.
...In Rouyi Hall, Zhu Gaoxu already knew that a Japanese woman had come to the capital. He couldn't help but ponder: Qiuyue Kaori, this name really looks like a stage name.
Miao Jin next to him immediately stopped writing, raised her head, and said: North Korea gave her beauty, is Japan so happy now?
Zhu Gaoxu said: Since you are the emperor of the Sect Master, things like this are inevitable.Sometimes I'm very irritable.
Disgust!Miao Jin made a sound from the tip of her tongue, with a little ridicule and doubt.
There are always a few women in the palace who are often not very respectful, and Miaojin is one of them.
However, Zhu Gaoxu didn't care and still looked disregarded.
Zhu Gaoxu said seriously: I am really a little embarrassed this time, I won’t lie to you.
He thought for a moment that the Ming Dynasty court had dealt with Japan for so long, and he had never heard of a profession like ninja; perhaps ninja had not appeared yet.
But Zhu Gaoxu was still a little inexplicably prepared.
Miao Jin was skeptical and looked at Zhu Gaoxu's expression quietly, then shook his head gently.
Zhu Gaoxu said: It is said that during the Taizu period, there were assassins in the Japanese mission, and they participated in the Hu Weiyong rebellion case, which made Taizu angry.This matter has been too long and cannot be confirmed for the authenticity, but it is a fact that the shogun is now stabbed.The Japanese shogun was the most powerful person there, and he killed him as soon as he said he could. It seems that it is a tradition for the Japanese to use assassins?
Miao Jin smiled and said: The Master must be careful.
Somehow, my courage has become less and less in recent years.Zhu Gaoxu said, but no matter how many women there are, they cannot be compared with you.
Miao Jin raised her almond eyes, then she glanced slightly away and said softly: The queen is the one who should be in charge of this matter. Why did you spend so much effort in explaining in front of me?
It’s not because you are in your heart.Zhu Gaoxu said seriously.
Miao Jin gave him a blank look and said nothing.
Come!Zhu Gaoxu shouted outside.
The eunuch Cao Fu trotted into the door and bowed with a smile and said: What are the emperor’s instructions?
Zhu Gaoxu picked up the memorial in his hand and sent it to the cabinet first.
He had already made plans in his heart: Ashikaga Yoshiji died even if he died. No matter who is the shogun in Japan, he would be able to make trouble for those famous names; as long as it does not affect the Ming army's occupation of the Great Silver Mine, everything else can be put aside.
Cao Fu stepped forward and took it with both hands and said: I obey the order... Emperor, how to arrange the Japanese woman Qiu Yuezhi.
Zhu Gaoxu said: Let all those who come from Japan live in Huitong Hall first.
Yes, I will do it immediately.Cao Fu took a few steps back and then turned and left.
It was getting late, and Zhu Gaoxu left the somewhat messy files and memorials on the table and walked to the bookshelf in the northwest corner.
The main hall is very spacious. Zhu Gaoxu recently asked someone to add some new furniture, put on a few chairs and a mahogany tea table.
He lifted a kettle from next to the charcoal stove, tried to find that there was still water inside, and placed it on the stove.People also sit on stools to rest.
Miaojin turned around and said: Do you want me to make tea?
Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said: No need.I am either a variety of etiquette and anatomy every day, or reading memorials and books, and doing something else occasionally is good.He paused and said, "Fortunately, Miao Jin often stayed here, and his life became more fun."
Miao Jin walked over and said: The emperor often lives in the Rouyi Hall, why don’t he ask other concubines to take turns to serve?
Zhu Gaoxu did not answer after hearing this.
The water in the kettle should have been hot water at first, and it opened soon.He lifted the kettle and poured water into the purple clay pot.There are various tea sets and cups of all sizes on several tables, which are the utensils of Kung Fu tea.
Miao Jin sighed lightly and said: I am indifferent by nature and I am most reluctant to compete for favor.
After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu quickly understood the general idea and nodded: If Miaojin had this intention, I would follow you.
She nodded slightly.
Zhu Gaoxu tinkered casually for a while, then handed it over with a small white porcelain cup filled with tea, and said: Be careful to be hot.
Miaojin smiled, gently held her fingers, and said: I often feel that Gao Xu doesn't look like an emperor.
Zhu Gaoxu said: Only people who are close to you will feel this way.
Miaojin took a sip of Chaozhou tea.
Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said: He is worthy of being a lady from the scholarly family.
Miao Jin casually said: Don’t Gao Xu like to drink Yunnan tea?
Zhu Gaoxu said: I don’t care. I used to be a vassal in Yunnan and just followed the customs of the countryside.
Miaojin put down the cup and said: Gao Xu was originally a man who was riding on the battlefield, but now he is trapped in the palace.I just realized that you seem to feel the dullness of life?
Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said: Now I am in the capital, which is more in line with my identity.In Sheng Yong's memorial, there is a sentence "Ti Qing Outline", which is very interesting.There were more than 1,400 counties in the Ming Dynasty. If I often wandered outside, my role would be a drop in the bucket. There were countless injustice and countless sufferings in the world. If the emperor personally did the specific incident, he would definitely go in the opposite direction.Only by working from the high-level design of the system can the emperor fulfill his duties to the greatest extent.
He continued to smile and said: Besides, there is nothing wrong with the palace, and there is a lot of beauty.
Miao Jin's expression gradually regained a little respect, and she whispered: The emperor's uncle once said that you act erratic, but I feel quite calm.
Zhu Gaoxu said quietly: If it weren't for the death of his father, the eldest uncle would have been buried as soon as his mother died.He can eat and drink well and live until now, and I don’t feel sorry for him.
At this time, drums came from outside, and the hour of You had arrived.Zhu Gaoxu slapped his hands on the thigh and stood up.
Miao Jin bent her knees and said: The emperor will return to the Ganqing Palace first, and I will leave afterwards.
Zhu Gaoxu felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward at this moment. He thought to himself: It will be Miaojin's turn to sleep in the future, so that he can come to Rouyi Palace or Dongnuan Pavilion.
However, there was no surprise news like the Big Silver Mine, and there was surprise.
Muromachi-den general Ashikaga Yoshihisa was assassinated and died. The Ming Dynasty court was most likely to have to re-enthrone a man named Ashikaga Yoshitsugu as the king of Japan, with additional conditions attached.
