Yao Fang had just returned home and had no time to have a meal, so she told his bride Qin that she would rush out and go to the palace.
While Qin asked the maid to boil water, he went to the room to search for Yao Fang's decent clothes.
Yao Fang had been running around the sea for several months, her skin was roughened by the sea breeze and she had to take a shower, change clothes and clean up. After all, she was going to see the emperor.
She chose a light and breathable white gauze lining, as well as a straight robe and square flat scarf.Then he personally served Yao Fang in the shower, very attentive.
Why did the emperor summon his husband?Qin couldn't help but ask him softly.
Yao Fang said: Before, thousands of us stayed by the sea of North Korea. There were many civil and military officials in the fleet. They wanted to inquire about the news of Japan, but they all had no choice.Only I thought of a way to make friends with a Japanese warrior.
While working hard, Qin said happily: My father has been studying for so many years and finally passed the imperial examination. He has never met the emperor yet.My husband is really capable.
She thought to herself that if Yao Fang could be appreciated by the emperor and be awarded a title in the future, she could also get a wife of imperial decree, and would be respected when wearing a grand dress to visit the queen in the palace and go back to her parents' home.
She thought about the scene and was so glorious that she was extremely excited. She immediately had hope.
However, the Qin family instilled too many women's moral requirements in her. She did not dare to express her desires and still only said what she should say.
Yao Fang was well-tied and could not wear official uniforms, but she was dressed neatly and decently.He said goodbye to his father and wife, and got on the carriage and went out.
...The carriage stopped outside the Xi'an Gate of the Imperial City. After Yao Fang got off the car, he was led by an eunuch guarding the gate and went to Xihua Gate along the straight road.
After searching and interrogating, they entered Xihua Gate and arrived at the spacious brick-floor square in the palace.
White clouds floated in the clear blue sky, and the glazed tiles on the double eaves of the palace shine in the sun.
Yao Fang hadn't entered the palace for a long time. When he came here again, he felt a magnificent scene completely different from outside the palace, and he suddenly felt a little emotional.
On the other side of the Jinshui River to the north, the nearest palace group is Wuying Hall.
Yao Fang followed the eunuchs and passed the south of Wuying Hall, then crossed the Jinshui River, and continued to walk north from the wide brick floor until he arrived at Rouyi Hall.
Yao Fang walked outside the door of the main hall of Rouyi Hall and began to bow and bow: Yao Fang, a charlatan, will be ordered to meet him, long live the priest.
The voice inside said: Come in.
Yao Fang stood up and finally approached the emperor again.
In the ancient and spacious palace, the doors and windows have a good lighting, and it is clear and quiet inside. There is a large table in the middle of the hall. Zhu Gaoxu, wearing a group of dragon uniforms, sat behind the table.
It is difficult for people to get here, but Yao Fang is still easier than most people because of her family.He kowtowed in front of the table again, and Zhu Gaoxu said: No gift.
At this time, there were no palace maids and eunuchs, let alone officials in the palace.Zhu Gaoxu probably didn't want to summon Yao Fang with great fanfare.
Zhu Gaoxu said: You went out a long way and got a lot of tanning.It is a good thing to suffer a little. You can be more steady in the future and suffer less big losses.
Yao Fang suddenly felt a little kind and hurriedly said: The emperor taught me, and the grass people remember it.
Zhu Gaoxu asked again: I know you are married, and the Guo family has gone.Are you satisfied with the bride?
Yao Fang gradually relaxed a little and said: In the past, the Caomin became confused and then woke up. The Qin family and Caomin had no grudges and were humiliated, and were indeed innocent.The grass people had no other way, so they had to ask their father to propose marriage. Only in this way can they make up for their sins.Later I found out that Qin was a good woman. She often spoke about right and wrong, but she was very well-educated and spoke very nicely, which saved the troubles of the people.
Zhu Gaoxu finally showed a smile on his face and nodded with praise. He quickly asked directly: What position is the Ouchi samurai you made with?
Yao Fang said: His name is Da Neisheng, he is a guardian, or a monk.There are many feudal states in Japan, but their territory may not be as good as a county in the Ming Dynasty, and they are ruled by Guardian Daming.Protecting Daming is like a prince, with the power to arrest and ruling criminals, tax revenue, and govern government, as well as military power.Under Daming, there is also a guardian generation to manage farmers in some villages.Da Nei Sheng is a guardian generation.
In the local area, except for the Kamakura Kunstrum in Kanto and the various places, the officials of the Wu family were all samurai.
Zhu Gaoxu said: How did you make friends with this person?
Yao Fang couldn't help but smile and said: It's just to meet his preferences, to compliment him a few words, and then give him the benefits he wants.When I saw that he was a bald man, I found a Japanese-speaking person to be a translator and talked to Danai about Buddhism.They can marry and have children as monks, but in order to become officials, Da Neisheng has returned to secular life.When we talk about the similarities and differences between the Buddhists of the two countries, we have a very speculative discussion.
Ouchi Katsuki is from a samurai family and has practiced swordsmanship since he was a child, but it is actually Japanese swordsmanship.
I also said that I had worked as a military general, but because a woman was almost punished for death, she started working as a businessman.
So we used wooden swords to compete in martial arts.
Unexpectedly, the Japanese sword technique was quite sharp in the medium and short distances. I lost several games in a row and couldn't beat him at all.
Even if it is just a competition, the Japanese samurai is very competitive, and I am very happy that the Ouchi wins.I can't help but compliment him, praising his superb swordsmanship.I was too lazy to argue with him for the victory or defeat. If I really wanted to fight, I would knock him down with a firearm...
Zhu Gaoxu said: Japan has many mountains, but the place is not wide, and there are few people to fight, and firearms may not be effective.
He said, lifting up his brush and writing and drawing on the paper.
Yao Fang felt that Japan was poor and short, but seeing that Zhu Gaoxu attached great importance to his opponent, Yao Fang's expression became more serious and said: I observed that Da Neisheng's performance was drawing the sword, and it was indeed very fast.The posture of his knife was to pull it back, and he used the back of the knife to apply the scabbard. The scabbard was to attack, without any delay, and was fast and ruthless.
Zhu Gaoxu asked: How many such warriors are there for a guardian Daming?
Yao Fang shook her head and said: I didn't ask about this, but from the words, it was estimated that there were not many people who had to farm without having to do so; because most of the troops were light.Light feet are almost some poor peasants who lack food and clothing, lack training. Some people will use bamboo guns and spears, while some people will use longbows.
Zhu Gaoxu said: Don’t have any guns?
Yao Fang said: The Japanese from Hakata came to Juji County, and did not carry firearms.I don’t know if there are any muskets, but there must be no cannons. Danui Sheng talked about Japan’s lack of iron.
Zhu Gaoxu then asked: Hou Xian said in the memorial that the Ouchi clan was dissatisfied with the Muromachi shogunate. Is this matter certain?
Yao Fang said: This matter is a bit chaotic, not everyone in the Ouchi clan is dissatisfied with the shogunate.The authority of Japan's shogunate is far less than that of our Ming court, and the government orders above cannot be said in a different way; it seems that the people are always playing games.
The former family governor of the Orai clan participated in the rebellion of Kamakura Kōka and was defeated and died.
The illegitimate son of the governor of the family, Hiroshima Ouchi, was the eldest son, but surrendered to the Muromachi Shogunate in the middle; so after the shogunate quelled the rebellion, Hiroshima Ouchi became the guardian daimyo of the two territories.
The position of the family governor was inherited by the legitimate son of the former family governor and Hiroshima's younger brother, Morimi Ouchi. His mother was a powerful family, Sanjo clan.So the Oui brothers had a civil war.
In the end, the legitimate son gained the advantage of the decision with the strong support of his mother's family, and of course he was very dissatisfied with the shogunate.However, the remnants of failed forces did not have the support of the marriage clan and could only rely on the shogunate and were more inclined to Kyoto.
Zhu Gaoxu pondered: If we had occupied the heels on Tsushima Island earlier and interfered, this would have been even more chaotic.
Yao Fang was stunned for a moment and said: Caomin just tried to make it simple.In fact, before the Ouchi family participated in the Kamakura Kōka rebellion, they also participated in a war of rebellion, which was greatly benefited; it is said that their power has increased greatly and become more arrogant, and they have obtained the guardianship power of six territorial countries... Unexpectedly, the second time they were wrong, even the capable Ishimiguo was lost.
Ishimi?Zhu Gaoxu suddenly frowned, looking like he was thinking hard.
Yao Fang didn't know why, and didn't understand what's special about this place name.
Zhu Gaoxu even stood up from the chair, thinking about something a little anxiously.
After a while, he suddenly slapped his forehead, pointed at Yao Fang with a sudden enlightenment and said: Shi Jian Yinshan!I remembered, is there a large silver mine there?
Yao Fang looked confused and said in a daze: Caomin doesn’t know about this.
Never heard anyone say it?Zhu Gaoxu wondered.
Yao Fang shook her head, then nodded again and said with certainty: What the people have never heard of.
Zhu Gaoxu said: We know too little, and we still have to find a way to investigate.Not only do we need to understand the power of Japan, but we also need to figure out their terrain, roads, etc. In this way, the imperial government army can pay as little as possible and reduce military expenditures.
Today, Japan is in chaos and can't take care of itself. It is not a threat to the Ming Dynasty and seems to be very poor. Yao Fang really couldn't understand why the emperor had to intervene.
However, Yao Fang trusted Zhu Gaoxu's ability very much. He believed that the emperor's decision was right without any reason.
Yao Fang made a fist and said: The grass people have a strategy. The grass people only need to be slandered and pretend to be a monk, so they can go to Japan and do their jobs as saints.
Zhu Gaoxu glanced at him and shook his head and said: If I asked you to be ordained, why would you tell your sister?And how do you explain the Qin family you newly married?No!You can find some monks and let them go to Japan to exchange Buddhism.
Yao Fang said: Caomin met many monks at Qingshou Temple, and he will go for a trip tomorrow.
Zhu Gaoxu said: Very good.This matter is a matter of the court, and I will ask Wang Gui to allocate funds to you.
Yao Fang hurriedly clasped her fists and said: It is better to let the Caomin ask the Shen family for it. The copper coins that Japanese people like the most are the official minted copper coins in the Ming Dynasty.The Shen family opened a copper mine in Yunnan and obtained the right to mint coins licensed by the emperor. The minted "Wude Tongbao" was very useful in Japan.
Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said: OK, that's it.
While Qin asked the maid to boil water, he went to the room to search for Yao Fang's decent clothes.
Yao Fang had been running around the sea for several months, her skin was roughened by the sea breeze and she had to take a shower, change clothes and clean up. After all, she was going to see the emperor.
