Prince Chengren invited Zhang Huaizhi to Kyoto.
Kuroda Go was very dissatisfied. For the shogunate, this was the royal family announcing to the Ming Dynasty their family's political status in the Japanese country. Before this, they had always had contacts with the Ming Dynasty, and the Ashikaga family of the shogunate represented the Japanese country.
According to the perception of the Ming Dynasty, the Ashikaga family is the master of the Japanese country, and Prince Naruhito's invitation at this time is to break this fixed perception of the Ming Dynasty. This is challenging the bottom line of the shogunate.
Shimazu Tachihisa was also quite uncomfortable. Now that the Ming Dynasty's envoys were here, once they went to Kyoto and directly talked with the shogunate and the Japanese emperor, the political influence of Kyushu Island would immediately decline. Most importantly, he thought Relying on the envoys of the Ming Dynasty to regulate internal families will be much less effective.
When Zhang Huaizhi heard about the invitation to go to Kyoto, he was stunned for a moment and unconsciously looked back at Zhu Yi.
However, Zhang Huaizhi's not-so-big move was fully visible to the people on the opposite side.
Zhu Yi's slight nod was also clearly seen by these people.
"Since Prince Naruhito wants to invite us to Kyoto, it's hard for us to refuse. However, since we have gone to Kyoto to meet with the Japanese Emperor, we must not favor one over the other. Do you see your Japanese Ashikaga General?" Zhang Huaizhi said. .
After the translator finished translating the words, the ball was thrown to the other side.
Although Prince Naruhito's face is still full of relaxation and comfort, he is somewhat dissatisfied in his heart. This Ming Dynasty has put the Ashikaga family on the same level as the Japanese Emperor clan.
The Ming Dynasty's special envoy went to Kyoto. If he did not go to Edo, the prestige of the shogunate would be greatly reduced, and Kakuda Go immediately agreed.
This meeting lasted for half an hour. After the conversation, the only person who was unhappy was Shimazu Tachihisa.
He is a local overlord, but he seems to have no say in the decision-making of some matters at all, such as the statements of Go and Prince Naruhito.
This meeting also made many people pay attention to the majestic Zhu Yi. Everyone also realized from Zhang Huaizhi's little actions during the meeting that Zhu Yi's identity was not simple.
Especially Shimazu Tachihisa.
He found some spies who had been to Ningbo in the Ming Dynasty to investigate the Ningbo Navy and asked them to meet Zhu Yi. This time he got very important information.
This agent had met Zhu Yi and investigated him clearly when he was in Ningbo.
Born into a distinguished family.
Among the top nobles within the Ming Dynasty, they are all ranked high.
The eldest son of the previous generation Cheng Guogong, the current father of Cheng Guogong, the prince of Yuanhai County, the head of the Maritime Affairs Department, the admiral of the Ningbo Navy, the fictitious admiral of the Fujian Navy, once sailed to the East...
After Shimazu Tachihisa learned of this identity, he immediately summoned his retainers for discussion.
In order to show Prince Naruhito his goodwill in wanting to get closer, Shimazu Tachihisa informed Prince Naruhito of the secret he discovered.
Kaga Hirono, who was tasked with getting close to the Ming Dynasty envoy, also learned Zhu Yi's identity.
She was also shocked.
And her first thought was that if a person of this identity and status died on Kyushu Island, then Kyushu Island would have only one way to face war.
Yes, she wanted to kill Zhu Yi and push Kyushu Island completely against the Ming Dynasty.
But this road is the last road, because if a person of Daming's status died on Kyushu Island, the Kaga family would have no chance to cooperate with Daming.
All vassals on the entire Kyushu Island are enemies of the Ming Dynasty.
In five days, the Ming Dynasty's envoy will set off for Kyoto, and the Ming army soldiers who were left at the harbor will also go with them.
They had already set off to the outside of Tsurumaru Castle.
Shimazu Tachihisa emptied the houses in three villages for the Ming soldiers to live.
For the sake of safety, the number of armored Satsuma warriors in Tsurumaru City has also increased sharply. A team of envoys may be able to destroy you.
In the next few days, the courtyard where the envoys of the Ming Dynasty lived became extremely lively.
On the day after the meeting, Prince Naruhito and Hakuda Go delivered the gifts they prepared here, and more and more people came to visit. ŴŴŴ.BIQUGE.biz
The samurai Nori Muto on the side of Kakuda Go, Asako Nieda on the side of Prince Naruhito, and Hirono Kaga on the side of the Shimazu family.
Although there were informants from various forces outside the place where the Ming envoys lived at this time, these people who came to visit only came at night.
The samurai Nori Muto just left.
Ningtian Chaozi also arrived soon after.
Zhu Yi also knew that his identity was exposed because of Zhang Huaizhi's small actions, but he was not very nervous. The monk team was already taking action, and the more lively the place was, the more helpful it would be to them.
Before setting off to Japan.
He sent his French girlfriend Charlotte and his son, Zhu Qiu, on the ship back to France.
It is the time when the emptiness in the heart becomes unbearable.
Ningtian Chaozi is here.
She was dressed up in a kimono, as if she had wrapped herself into a gift. '
It was obvious that he was here to deliver food.
When Zhu Yi heard that Tingtian Chaozi was coming, he passed Zhang Huaizhi and met Tingtian Chaozi in the side room.
After Tingtian Chaozi knew Zhu Yi's identity, he was ready to come this time.
Although she was only eighteen years old, she had already been picked by Prince Chengren. In addition, her family's education made her not take that kind of thing seriously.
She only knew that her prince needed Ming's help, and for this, she was willing to use any means.
The Ming Dynasty had a profound cultural influence on the Japanese state, but at this time, it had little political influence on them. But the political system of the Ming Dynasty was what the Japanese emperor urgently needed at this time.
Prince Chengren couldn’t understand.
Why did the Ming Dynasty have so many generals and so many armies, but they were always safe? Why was their emperor, even though he was very young, able to control so many generals?
There are more than a dozen generals who are stationed in various places, far away from the capital, and control tens of thousands of troops. They have high positions of power, why don't they want to be like the shogun.
As for the warriors and generals of the Japanese country, as long as they had 20,000 to 30,000 people, they wanted to go it alone, and they wanted to use the Japanese emperor as a mascot and run their own government.
What part went wrong?
This is what Prince Chengren desperately wants to know.
Because he also understands that if he does not understand this matter from the root, even if he succeeds in overthrowing the Ashikaga family, there will still be existences like the Shimadzu family, the Inoue family, and the Oda family, and a new shogunate will appear...
Tingtian Chaozi, who was dressed up, knelt and sat opposite Zhu Yi.
And Zhu Yi looked at her with playful eyes...
"can you speak Chinese……"
"Hi……"
"I have received education from the Han family since I was a child, and by the time I was twelve years old, I was already proficient in Chinese..."
