The person in charge of arresting Yao Fang was from the Chisong family, the head of the assistant director.
Kyoto attaches so much importance to this fish that missed the net because they interrogated Yao Fang's identity: she was the son of the Marquis of Ming Kingdom and the eldest brother of the Concubine of Ming Kingdom.
In addition to the news obtained from the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, the monks and spies captured in temples in Jiuzhou and other places also proved Yao Fang's identity.
As early as the period of his former general Ashikaga Yoshiman, the Takeshi had effectively controlled the power of temples and shrines; therefore, Muromachi Temple had discovered earlier that some Han monks came to the temple.
Not long ago, after receiving the order from His Royal Highness Muromachi, the attendance had arrested all the Han monks who were suspected of being raped.
Most officials in Kyoto believe that Yao Fang is a royal relative of the Ming Dynasty and may be responsible for the detailed errands of the spy; as long as you catch Yao Fang, you should get a lot of news...
The Minister of the Central Powers of Muromachi Temple is divided into several major martial families.
In addition to assisting the three-level leaders of the General Zhengyi, they are four positions that hold the power of finance, torture, documents, litigation, etc., and are appointed by the four families in turn.
Chisong now takes the official position of the servant, one of the four positions.
Chisong attached great importance to Yao Fang's affairs. He led the crowd near Bota Port and stayed for at least a month.The group first investigated secretly, and then publicly interrogated the relevant people.
Before Yao Fang disappeared, all the local military officers who visited and gave gifts were repeatedly questioned by the officials in the attendance. But Chisong gradually discovered that it seemed that none of those people could have anything to do with Yao Fang.
The search was found nothing, and time passed.The people of Chisong clan had to guess that Yao Fang might have escaped.
Yoshinosa Akamatsu, the head of the servant and the governor of the Akamatsu family, heard the unfortunate news and decided to tell the general Ashikamatsu Yoshiki.He then rushed to the general's residence with his followers.
The reason why Muromachi Temple is called this is because the former general who unified the Southern and Northern Dynasties lived in the Imperial Hall of Hana, also known as Muromachi Temple; therefore, Muromachi Temple refers to the actual power center of Japan.
However, the new general Ashikaga Yoshiji has now moved out of the Imperial House of Hanoji and lived in the large courtyard of Nijokobo; Nijokobo's mansion is located south of the Sokoji Temple and Imperial House of Hanoji.
When Akamatsu Yoshinobu came to Nijofang, he found that there were already several ministers of the Wu family waiting outside the main hall, and the general was obviously not in the mansion.
The retainer of the Ashikaga family received Yoshinosa Akamatsu and acted very politely.
After all, the Akatsuki family is not only a strong guardian among the countries, but also made great contributions to the Ashikatsu family, especially when quelling the Mingde Rebellion, it performed very well.
Yoshizo Akasong asked: Where has the general gone?
The retainer only said that the general was not in the mansion, and then took out what the general wrote when he left home.
Chi Songyi took it over and saw that the words on it were all Chinese characters, so he bent down and read it seriously in Chinese: In the autumn desert, I believe in the chanting of a beautiful woman, and there is no matchmaker on the way to the yin of the garden.The current affairs of honor, disgrace, joy and sorrow are so deep.
When I read it for the first time, Akasong Yoshikawa had already remembered that this poem was written by Monk Ikkyu. It was well written and very famous.
But he still read it aloud a second time before handing it back to the retainers of the Ashikaga family.
At this time, Yoshinori Akatsuki had probably guessed the general's intentions.
It’s just that Chisong needs to think about it again to fully understand the general’s profound meaning.
So he knelt down in the waiting room outside the hall, closed his eyes and began to meditate on the Zen.
Ikkyu was not called Ikkyu. He only took the Ikkyu Dao name after he went to Nishijin Temple to worship Master Qianweng as his teacher. It was about two years ago.
Ikkyu's initial identity was the son of the emperor. Later, due to court struggles, his mother sent him to the temple for education.
Although Ikki has lived in the temple for many years, his emperor father still has feelings for him.
The general Ashikaga Yoshihiko went to visit Monk Ikkyu in person this time, and may be showing goodwill to the emperor from all aspects.
The Emperor himself has no power, but there are many forces in China who support the Emperor, including those nobles from Kamakura Kōkata and some members of the Wu family.
Moreover, the relationship between General Yoshiki and the Emperor today was a little misunderstanding before.
The reason is that the former general Ashikaga Yoshiman likes the younger brother Ashikaga Yoshiki, Ashikaga Yoshiki's son, and Yoshiki Ashikaga Yoshiki. Yoshiman once introduced his youngest son to the Emperor, meaning that he wanted to change the heir qualifications of Muromachi Temple.
However, after Ashikaga Yoshima died suddenly, his eldest son Ashikaga Yoshiji, who had real power, still became the general of the expedition.
Yoshi Akasong thought for a long time and believed that in the face of the threat from the Ming Dynasty, General Yoshiki used his actions and copied poems to express the difficulties in making decisions.
The general has arrived.Someone outside said something, interrupting Akamatsu Yoshino's meditation.
So Chisong Yi and other Wu family ministers walked out of the waiting room, walked north from different corridors, and came to the main hall.It was only then that Akasong Yoshinobu saw that the people from the big family had also come.
In a big room, there is a large screen above.
General Yichi knelt down in front of the screen, his posture very upright.
All the people who came to see were from the martial arts families everywhere. Everyone knelt down under the general in order and then bowed to the superiors.
Ashikaga Yoshiji was a middle-aged man under 30 years old, and his age was probably similar to that of the Ming Emperor Zhu Gaoxu.
Yoshiki looked at Chisong first.
So the Achisong family reported in detail the fruitless search of the Ming spies in Hakata Port.
Akasong had already explained in detail the efforts made by the attendant in the narrative, so General Yoshiki did not blame him.The general then looked at the people from the big family.
Although the Da Nei family has been weakened, it is still a strong protection of the Western Region; and the threat from the Ming Dynasty is likely to be the first to threaten the territory protected by the Da Nei family.
The retainer of Ouchi Morik bowed and said in Kyoto dialect: The family governor still wants to advise the general, perhaps negotiations with the Ming Dynasty were a more appropriate way.But if the general decides to fight with the guardians of the countries, the governor of the family promises that the generals of the family will be unshirkable and charge for the general.
Yi Chi didn't say anything and nodded slightly.
The Danei clan also said: After the new king of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Wude ascended the throne, he pursued the national policy of using troops to the outside world.If our country angers Emperor Wude in the north and attacks Annan in the south, it is very likely that foreign offenders will be caused.Moreover, the Ming Dynasty took advantage of the opportunity to eliminate Japanese pirates to occupy Tsushima Island and build fortresses, which showed signs of invading our country; otherwise, why did the Ming Dynasty defend the isolated island?
At this time, Spobey Yoshige, who had just won the position of governor of the family, immediately raised an objection: If the Ming Dynasty had just made some trouble, our country would kneel and seek peace, which would make the Muromachi Temple weak and incompetent!It is not a good thing for the country to damage the general's reputation.
Ouchi said: Guan Ling (Spo Yoshihiro) please calm down.The Akatsumatsu (the chief of the attendant) can testify. Judging from the confessions of the Ming people, Emperor Wude wanted to attack Japan for the sake of the silver mine of Ishimi.All kinds of news and signs are by no means groundless.
ha!Spoychi sneered, "Ishikan's state-owned silver mine, why don't I know?"
The Ouchi seemed a little angry, but because the Spoh family came to the governor and his identities were different, the Ouchi said in a tone: If the Ming army really attacked in large numbers, our country would change its national policy when the war was unfavorable, and the situation would become worse.Not only will it damage the general's reputation, but the national policies and orders will be changed every day and will be untrustworthy in the world.
Spoyishige said: The people sent by the Great Inner Family are as timid as mice!Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty once sent a letter of war, threatening to attack our country. If the people in the past were so timid, they would have surrendered long ago.Why are you afraid of the soldiers coming to stop them?
Ouchi said: Guanling does not seem to understand the enemy's power.The Ming army attacked the opposing horses, were neatly clad and well-trained, and used powerful cannons and muskets.Although the Zong family is not large in number, they have elite soldiers who can fight under their command. They have forgotten the fact that they have traversed dozens of people across the Jiuzhou.However, the elite troops of Zong's family were still vulnerable when facing the Ming army, and the head of Zong's family could not bear the defeat and was touched.The enemies our country will face may be stronger than the Yuan army in the past.
Yoshichi Ashikaga finally spoke: All countries should be prepared. If the Ming army invades, they should unite to repel the enemy.
The two immediately stopped arguing, and everyone present sat down and bowed to the general.At this time, Ashikaga Yoshichi stood up and left through the side door.
Although the general did not say it clearly, Akamatsu Yoshi was present and realized that the general would not be easily deterred by Ming.The advice of the big internal family seemed to be just a futile attempt.
Apart from reporting on official duties, Akasong Yoshino didn't say a word about state affairs today, because he had his own judgment.There are many inside stories that the general cannot be willing to speak out in public.
First of all, the former general Ashikaga Yoshikawa was full of strange death, and the rumor was rumored to have died in assassination.
One of the suspicions was that Ashikaga Yoshika killed his father and maintained his throne; the second of the suspicions was that Kamakura Gongfang's ministers were behind the scenes, believing that Ashikaga Yoshiman had the ambition to usurp the throne, so he carried out assassination and eradication.
At this time, Ashikaga Yoshika did not dare to show his weak side, otherwise he might be assassinated by opposition forces.
Secondly, when Ashikaga Yoshihiko first took office, he rejected the request of the Ming Dynasty's canonization under the request of a strong protection and confidant general, and laid a national policy of not paying tribute to the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, a slight threat is a sign of changing the national policy immediately and losing authority.
In fact, General Ashikaga Yoshika is now in a difficult position and can only continue to be tough.That's why Muromachitan ordered the capture of the Ming envoys and others.
From Ashikaga Yoshiman to Yoshiki, both generations of generals were trying to weaken the guardian Daimai, who had too much strength, and wanted to enhance the prestige of Muromachi Temple.
If you are too easy to surrender to foreign enemies, your years of business will be wasted. You will never be willing to do so.
Yoshi Akamatsu believed that the general's determination might be correct.
Even if the superiors make a wrong decision, as long as they stick to the end, they may be able to safeguard the rule of the country more than swaying left and right.
Kyoto attaches so much importance to this fish that missed the net because they interrogated Yao Fang's identity: she was the son of the Marquis of Ming Kingdom and the eldest brother of the Concubine of Ming Kingdom.
