Not to mention what was going on in the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Gaochi came out of the Forbidden City and wanted to go to the Ministry of Rites to do business first. However, as soon as the driver left the Meridian Gate, he was stopped by a group of people.
"Who is it?" In the carriage, Zhu Gaochi was holding a bowl of camellia tea noodles and sucking his mouth full of sweetness. He was particularly unhappy when someone blocked his way.
What bothers him most is that others disturb him when eating, especially when eating sweets. In his opinion, sweetness is the best taste in the world. He needs to close his eyes and slowly and gently savor every moment. A lingering fragrance.
"Your Highness!" A guard walked out of the carriage and whispered, "Who is this Japanese envoy who insists on seeing you?"
"Why are you here?" Zhu Gaochi was immediately furious, "If you have something to do, go to Lili Fanyuan. What are you doing with Gu? Gu is not his father?"
He has a good temper, but it depends on who is following whom. The majestic grandson of the Ming Dynasty, the future King of Yan Qiansui, naturally has to put on the airs and dignity of a nobleman when facing these vassal envoys.
Immediately, he took another sip of the hot oil tea noodles in his hand and cursed, "Are you looking for trouble for me so early in the morning? Are you blocking me outside the palace gate? The courtiers looked at it and thought they were alone and connected with other countries?" As he said, he cursed again, " A barbarian is a barbarian and he doesn’t understand any etiquette. It’s really unreasonable!”
"Everyone give way, my eldest son has no time now. Please come and visit me another day!"
On the long street outside the Meridian Gate, a row of Japanese samurai warriors looked like uncooked dried shrimps, bending down to block the road. The leader was the Japanese envoy Ashikaga Yoshimochi.
"I have been asking to see His Highness the Crown Prince for many days, but they have all been turned away. Today I took this step out of helplessness." Ashikaga Yoshimitsu said, and suddenly shouted, "Your Highness, Crown Prince, please see me, I have something to say! "
He was also forced to have no choice but to send out treasures to several noble people of the Ming Dynasty. However, when they arrived to do things, they were vague and pushed back. It was just a summary of the causes of the Japanese Civil War. , he was asked to write it four or five times, running from the Ministry of Rites to the Lifan Court, and from the Lifan Court back to the Ministry of Rites. After struggling for a long time, he failed to explain that the emperor had not seen him, and he didn't even have an accurate letter.
Over the years, he has been played like a headless fly, wandering around in the capital.
But it was not without gain. From the Burmese envoys who were staying at the Guest House, they had learned that the Ming Dynasty and Burma had signed a peace agreement, and the two countries would no longer use military force. Ashikaga Yoshimochi became even more anxious, eager to get the Ming Dynasty to respond. They had the support of the Ashikaga Shogunate.
"See you, see you!" Zhu Gaochi snorted coldly in the carriage, "If you want to see me, you have to follow the procedures and don't understand any rules or etiquette!"
At this moment, the guards at the Meridian Gate of the Imperial City also heard the sound and rushed over.
The foreman of the guard who led the team was furious when he saw this, "You blocked the driving of our Prince of Ming Dynasty in broad daylight. What do you want to do? Come on, take it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of guards came up like wolves and tigers.
But the next second, he stopped immediately.
Zhu Gaochi popped his big head out of the carriage in surprise, and saw that opposite the carriage, several Japanese warriors were kneeling on the ground, pulling open their chests to expose their flesh. A bright knife in his hand was pointed at his belly button.
"This is?" Zhu Gaochi asked in confusion.
"If we cannot see His Highness, I will be betraying General Ashikaga's trust." Ashikaga Yoshinori shouted, "Instead of carrying shame and returning to Japan, why don't we use our lives to awaken your country's attitude towards Japan!" , shouted, "It's a black card, it's on board..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Japanese sword shining brightly in his hand was about to be pierced into his stomach.
The head guard at the Meridian Gate of the Imperial City was shocked and shouted, "Stop them!"
If an envoy from a country commits suicide and dies outside the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty, this will be the end for him as the head guard.
But who would have thought, Zhu Gaochi shouted, "Don't stop me, let them prick you!" He said, cursing, "Who are you trying to scare with death? Have you ever seen a dead person? You are a bunch of stinking bastards!"
The samurai under Ashikaga Yoshimochi were about to commit suicide but were stopped. They thought things would turn around, but they didn't expect that Zhu Gaochi opened his mouth with heart-wrenching words, and his face was full of embarrassment for a moment.
So they all gritted their teeth and shouted again, "It's a black card..."
"Okay, okay!" Zhu Gaochi finally breathed, "Okay, don't follow this black card. What is a black card?" He said, waving his hands in the carriage, "Follow Gu, and find someone in front of you who is not alone.
A place to talk!”
"Hayi!"
~~
In a medium-sized restaurant, as soon as the boy took off the door panel, he saw a chubby man who was wider than the door panel. He was holding a bowl of hot camellia noodles in his hand and sipping on it.
"This man..."
Before he finished speaking, a guard wearing a goose hat and brocade uniform and holding a sword on his waist came forward and said coldly, "The venue is reserved!" After saying that, he pushed the young man away and stood on the floor with Zhu Gaochi surrounded.
building.
Then a group of Japanese warriors also wanted to follow, but were directly stopped by Zhu Gaochi's guards.
"Come up, the leader!"
Ashikaga Yoshimochi took a deep breath and said to his men, "Just a moment, everyone!" After saying that, he straightened his clothes and followed him upstairs.
Zhu Gaochi entered the private room, first opened the window and looked at the view of the bed, then sat by the window where the warm wind blew in, and continued to sip the tea noodles in his hand.
"Your Majesty, Ashikaga Yoshimachi, has met His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Facing Ashikaga Yoshimochi's gift, Zhu Gaochi didn't even raise his eyelids, but looked at the oil tea noodles in his hand with regret, "What a pity, it's cold!"
Then he put the camellia noodles aside and said to Ashikaga Yoshimachi, "Have you eaten yet?"
Ashikaga Yoshimichi was stunned, "How can I think about eating when I'm so worried?"
"You still have the energy to make trouble with me when you haven't eaten?" Zhu Gaochi sneered, "Others are making trouble by eating too much of the five spines and six beasts. You bastards like you are still acting like monsters even if you are hungry. You Japanese people are like
Who learned this uncle's nobility? "
In his anger, he blurted out slang words from the Peiping area, full of vitriol.
Ashikaga Yoshimochi was half-informed, but he still said respectfully, "I heard that the Ming Dynasty has an agreement with Burma, but why has it been so slow to take any action against Japan? Your Highness, Japan is currently in civil strife, and there are people there every day
Died due to war..."
"What does your civil strife have to do with my Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Gaochi said disdainfully.
"You..." Ashikaga Yoshimochi gritted his teeth. He really wanted to chop this fat guy in half with a knife to see what color his heart, liver, and lungs were.
The Japanese civil war has nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty? Didn't you start it? Didn't you support the Shanming family? The Ming Dynasty just didn't send troops directly!
"Your Highness, what do you want the shogunate to do so that the Ming Dynasty can..." Ashikaga Yoshimochi risked his life and stared directly into Zhu Gaochi's eyes, "Can the Ming Dynasty stay out of the matter?"
The look in his eyes shocked Zhu Gaochi for no reason.
Suddenly I remembered an injured wild wolf I encountered when I was hunting with my father when I was a boy.
The wild wolf was dying, its eyes as silent as water. As a young man, he suddenly felt compassion and wanted to let it go.
At that time, Zhu Di said to him, "Pick up the knife and kill it!"
The young Zhu Gaochi said innocently, "Father, he looks very pitiful. Let's keep him and play with him..."
"Beasts don't deserve pity, don't look into his eyes again!"
The look in the wolf's eyes at that time was very similar to the look in Ashikaga Yoshimochi's eyes now. Both of them had a heart-stopping hatred hidden under their silent gazes.
"The wolf is very smart. It looks like a dog, and sometimes it will be close to people, but you don't know how to raise a wolf. Are you raising it? Huh, maybe one day a piece of your flesh will be lost!"
His father's words kept lingering in Zhu Gaochi's ears, and he looked at Ashikaga Yoshimochi seriously.
"In that case, let's get straight to the point and speak frankly and honestly!"
