Outside the Japanese city of Kyoto, two distinct teams slowly stepped forward.
On the Ming Dynasty side, the armor was distinctive. First there were the tall and powerful captains in brocade uniforms wearing flying fish uniforms, and then there were the infantrymen whose faces were wrapped in iron armor.
In the Japanese kingdom of Japan, the samurai also wore gorgeous armor and family heirloom swords, and the ministers and nobles were all dressed in gorgeous clothes.
It seemed that the two sides were evenly matched in terms of momentum, but when they came face to face, the Japanese Zhou Ren discovered why they were both so tall. Before they could reach him, the shadow of the other side had already tilted over, giving people a mountain-like pressure.
Bang bang, suddenly two cannons rang out.
The tall Jin Yiwei honor guard generally divided into two rows, bowed and raised their hands, "Welcome to the capital!"
"Hahaha!" A burst of hearty laughter came. The handsome He Guangyi slowly came out of the carriage, flicked his cloak, and said with a smile to the Japanese side, "General Lao Ashikaga Yoshimitsu came in person, and He received it
Ashamed!"
Although he didn't know who Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was, he saw that the other party's ministers in fine attire were surrounded by a man of extraordinary temperament, so he figured it would be him.
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu bowed slightly and said with a gentle smile, "What did you say, Your Majesty the Angel? I am honored to be able to welcome you!" After saying that, he stepped forward and saluted He Guangyi again, "Thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty, you have come all the way.
.”
"This person is not easy to fool!" He Guangyi thought to himself.
When he came over, he did not address the title of King of Japan conferred by the Ming Dynasty on Ashikaga Yoshimitsu. Instead, he addressed him as a general. This was obviously an understatement and was inconsistent with etiquette.
Not only was the opponent not angry at all, but he also defeated He Guangyi's army with a backhand.
Since you don't call me the King of Japan, I won't call you the Imperial Envoy of the Great Kingdom, let alone give you state gifts.
After turning away from these thoughts, He Guangyi took a step forward, took the other person's hand, and said affectionately, "I have long heard that Ashikaga General is extraordinary in appearance and is the most handsome man in Japan. When I see him today, he is indeed well-deserved!"
This made Ashikaga Yoshimitsu feel a little uncomfortable. He had just heard what He Guangyi called him. He knew that the other party was not good, so he thought of many ways to deal with it. But the other party feinted and praised his appearance.
He didn't know that although He Guangyi, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, was not as eloquent as Li Jinglong, he knew what it meant to avoid the important and take advantage of the light, and what it meant to take care of things slowly.
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu smiled awkwardly, withdrew his hand and found that his palm was stained with some of the other person's sweat. He rubbed it quietly in his sleeve and said, "Your Excellency, please allow me to introduce you. This is my eldest son.
Ashikaga Yoshimochi!"
"Your Excellency!" Ashikaga Yoshimochi was less than twenty, an age that showed his sharpness.
"A talented person with good looks will be a formidable young man!" He Guangyi exclaimed in admiration and looked up and down, "If we follow the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, this person will be the heir to Ashikaga Shogun!" After saying that, he looked at the other person again and said with a smile, "Do you have a name?"
Without waiting for the other party to speak, he immediately regretted and apologized, "I'm sorry, I was negligent. The country of Japan didn't even say anything!"
Biaozi is a rite of passage for an adult Chinese man, and the Biaozi will accompany him throughout his life. In China, calling someone by their first name is disrespectful and very rude, especially for people with status.
Therefore, even during the Three Kingdoms period, when Ma Chao had a bloody feud, he only scolded Cao Mengde for killing my whole family, not Cao Cao.
Ashikaga Yoshimichi was mature beyond his years, and said with a smile, "This is a small country, but the etiquette of the Celestial Empire is not as great as that of the Celestial Empire. I have no words, which makes you laugh!"
"Not impatient, not impatient, not humble, not silent!" He Guangyi sighed again, "I have seen many talented young people, but it is rare to be as good as your noble master. Ashikaga General, I have a saying in the Ming Dynasty, which is to give birth to a child like this.
Sun Zhongmou. Today I borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha. If you have a son, you should uphold the righteousness!"
The words were nice, but when they came out of He Guangyi's mouth at the moment, they sounded a bit unpleasant.
"Master Ashikaga, do you have the intention to study in the Ming Dynasty?" He Guangyi said with concern, "The sage read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles. The Ming Dynasty and Japan are father-son vassals. The matter of study tours has a long history, and there is history to learn from it. Master
I am willing to travel to the Ming Dynasty to study. A certain general will tell the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and build a mansion for him and hire famous teachers!"
These words are harboring evil intentions. Ashikaga Yoshitari agrees, and it doesn't mean he doesn't.
"Thank you so much, Your Excellency!" Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, a cunning old man, said with a smile, "It's just that the dog is useless, and he went to the Ming Dynasty to become a laughing stock!"
"Tsk, tsk, what a pity!" He Guangyi shook his head, took off the jade pendant from his waist, and said with a smile, "This is the first time we met, and I didn't prepare a gift in a hurry. Don't take it personally, sir!"
After saying that, he handed over the jade pendant and looked at the other person sincerely.
Ashikaga Yoshimochi was even more difficult to do, and looked at his father.
"This Ming envoy is so rude!"
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was furious and furious. He was the king of Japan conferred by Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty, and his eldest son would be the future king of Japan. Although the envoy in front of him had a respected status, his status was much lower than that of his father and son.
When you see them as a father and son, you should use courteous courtesy, but not only is it disrespectful, but it also makes insinuations everywhere. According to the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, only the elders will give meeting gifts to the younger ones when they see them.
In fact, he didn't know that if he got angry, what was Guangyi's intention? It would be best to draw the knife on the spot, thus committing the crime of disrespecting the heaven.
But Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is an old fox after all, so he smiled and said, "Since it is a gift from Your Majesty the Angel of Heaven, just accept it!"
"Arigado Dog Aunt Four!" Ashikaga Yoshimochi took it with respectful hands.
At this time, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu gave a broad introduction, "This is the writer of my shogunate, who is responsible for the interpretation of Yukojiden!"
"How many names are there!" He Guangyi complained in his heart, "You are a good person, why don't you give me a surname and a name? What are you doing with all those names? If your family doesn't have a surname, you can just copy the surnames of hundreds of Ming dynasties!"
"
He was scolded by his innermost being, but he still smiled and greeted the other party politely.
Later, He Guangyi went out of the city to greet the Japanese ministers one by one. After calming down his temper, he felt like a spring breeze.
The person turned around, and He Guangyi suddenly pretended to be confused, "Huh?"
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu said, "Your Excellency...?"
"I heard that there is a great man and hero in Japan, why don't you see him?" He Guangyi asked.
"What do you mean?"
"Your Excellency Yoshihiro Ouchi!" He Guangyi said, "I heard that he and you, the general, are the two great artifacts of the country in Dongying, and they can be called the pillars of the country!"
Hearing this, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu secretly gritted his teeth.
Ouchi Yoshihiro is his ally, but not his subordinate. Moreover, the Ouchi family is now somewhat invincible, which is giving him a headache. At this moment, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty publicly separated him and Ouchi Yoshihiro in front of everyone.
What's the point of comparing them?
However, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu still held it back and said with a smile, "Your Excellency has come all the way, so you will follow me into the city first and rest in a humble house. Later, I will prepare a banquet to welcome you!"
He Guangyi said with a smile, "Don't worry about it now. A certain person is an envoy of the Ming Dynasty. When he arrives in Kyoto, he will naturally meet the Japanese monarch first!"
Suddenly, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu couldn't bear it anymore, "What do you mean? I am the lord of the country!"
He professed himself to the Ming Dynasty in exchange for the title of king. After obtaining the title, he forced the current emperor to recognize his wife as his godmother, and secretly asked his second son Yiji to change his surname, with the intention of replacing the emperor with his second son.
He Guangyi's words directly stung the taboo in his heart and poked at his hidden ambition.
"You? Lord of the country?" He Guangyi laughed and said, "Your title of king was conferred by the Ming Dynasty Emperor, but the real lord of Japan is Emperor Komatsu, right?" He Guangyi paused, "Although the title of the emperor is
He is suspected of being disrespectful to the Ming Dynasty by using his name, but after all, he is the true lord of Japan, and a certain Ming minister should pay homage to him!"
