Chapter 304 Who is the hypocrite? (1)
Yoshiji Ashikaga and his men stood nervously in the hall of a room where Duke Cao's mansion entered the courtyard.
From time to time, he looked out. The invisible courtyard of the mansion, which was like a monster's huge abyss mouth, made him feel inexplicably panicked.
Because from the beginning of his coming in, an idiom emerged in his mind, feeling ashamed of himself.
Compared with the residence of the Duke of Ming Dynasty, the residence of the general of the shogunate was like a thatched hut. It was not about the structure and scale of the building, but lacked the temperament of the Duke of Cao State.
Especially when he looked out, he could see a magnificent hall at a glance. Various ferocious beasts were squatting on the thick roof, which was daunting.
The Li family's doorman who was by his side looked at the careful appearance of these Japanese people, and he couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous in his heart.
"You are all so scared by the Duke's Mansion. If you enter the Forbidden City, won't you be scared to pee your pants?"
The doorman complained in his heart, pointed to the hall outside and spoke, "Do you know where that is?"
"I haven't asked for advice yet!" Ashikaga Yoshihisa hurriedly asked.
"That is the enchanting hall for our old master and the old master!" said the doorman proudly.
Ashikaga Yoshiji was stunned. Words like the old master and the old master seemed to be a little profound for him.
Fortunately, the concierge continued to explain, "It's our master, Duke Cao's grandfather and father!"
"Oh!" Ashikaga Yoshichi suddenly realized, "I heard that Mr. Cao is a hereditary duke, so his grandfather and father are also dukes..."
"It's the prince!" The doorman corrected with a righteous look, "Our old man is the elder brother-in-law of the Emperor. He protected the only male man in the Supreme Emperor's family in the chaos. He traveled through mountains and rivers to find the Emperor and his family reunited..."
"Oh..." Ashikaga Yoshichi sighed again, "Loyalty and courage!"
"That's it!" the concierge said proudly, "Our old man is the nephew of the Supreme Emperor. He was raised by the Supreme Emperor and Empress Gu Ci Gao since he was a child. He fought on the battlefield as a teenager and charged forward. Is our old man famous for fighting in the south and north? Do you know the Shangdu City of the Tartars?"
As he spoke, without waiting for Ashikaga Yoshiji to speak, he continued, "The old man captured it. It was the summer resort of Emperor Yuan of all generations. Our old man burned him clean with fire and robbed him... and killed him without leaving any armor!"
"Yoxi!" Ashikaga Yoshika sighed, "A real hero!"
"The two old men in our family were dukes when they were alive. This duke is not an ordinary duke, but a duke." It is rare to meet a man who did not know the inheritance of Duke Cao. The concierge was spitting out loud. "After his death, he was even posthumously named the prince. The old men were the prince of Longxi, and the old men were the prince of Qiyang. Moreover, since the old men began to count three generations, they were all posthumously named the prince."
The concierge stretched out his finger, "If you count this way, our Li family has produced five princes in a row. Throughout history, this kind of grace cannot be achieved even in thousands of years, not to mention thousands of years ahead!"
"As soon as this country is dead!" Ashikaga Yoshihiko and the Japanese envoys behind him all widened their eyes and opened their mouths. In their opinion, it was incredible that such foreign surnames were named kings and had been successively granted five generations of people.
"Who is dead?" the concierge glared, "Why do you scold me if you speak well?"
"No, no!" Ashikaga Yoshihisa said quickly, "We are sighing that the Duke Cao's mansion is indeed the number one wealthy family in the Ming Dynasty. It is so powerful!"
"That's it!" said the concierge proudly, "Tell you, you are here in the right place. Don't talk about you, envoys from various vassals to Beijing, who wouldn't come to visit our master first!"
"May I ask!" Ashikaga Yoshihisa asked again, "Since Duke Cao's ancestors have been posthumously granted the title of the princes for five generations, what are the names of those people?"
"This..." The concierge was stunned, he didn't dare to say this.
Li Jinglong's grandfather was Li Zhen, and Li Zhen's father was Li Fu. Li Fu's father was Li Liuer, and Li Liu Er's father was Li Wuer... In fact, Li Zhen's real name was not Li Fu, but Li Qisan.
In fact, Li Zhen was named after her identity...
His gatekeeper was a retirement errand given by the head of the family after the retirement of the Li family. He said anything else casually, but he really didn't dare to speak the owner's name. Besides, these names cannot be called. The King of Longxi, who was posthumously named Li Qisan?
At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside.
Ashikaga Yoshika was refreshed and cheered up.
Unexpectedly, the second-door housekeeper of Duke Cao, who came in, was the manager who was responsible for receiving guests and seeing off guests.
"Dear Japanese envoys!" The second housekeeper bowed first, and then said kindly, "Our master said, it's too late to see the guests!"
"Ah?" Ashikaga Yoshiji was stunned. He waited for a long time and actually waited for two words, but he disappeared!
"Please inform me again!" Ashikaga Yoshihisa quickly said, "We are coming from Japan thousands of miles away, admiring the style of Duke Cao, and come to see you!"
"These little sluts know nothing!" The butler of the second gate thought to his heart, "You can see our master as long as you want?"
But the other party was an envoy of one country after all, and the steward of the second sect could not be rude, and said, "Our grandfather said, "If you have anything to do, go to the vassal court tomorrow and do business. Our grandfather also said that as an important minister of the Ming Dynasty, it is not convenient for him to meet with the envoys of foreign countries in private. Please come back!"
How dare Ashikaga Yoshiji? He had already heard clearly before he went to the Ming Dynasty that the most vocal person in the Ming Dynasty was this Duke Cao. Logically speaking, his envoys of a country did not have to be so humble, but he knew that he was responsible for the fate of the Ashikaga Shogunate after the future, so he had to endure humiliation no matter what.
In other words, as long as the Ming Dynasty could not interfere with the Japanese civil war, what would it be if he died here?
"I'm sorry to report it!" Ashikaga Yoshichi said loudly, "If I can't see Duke Cao, I won't leave!"
"Why are you cheating?" The butler of the second party asked, "Our master has said that you will go in the yamen tomorrow!"
~~
The sound of their speech reached outside.
Li Jinglong stood in the shadow of the eaves and listened sincerely.
Behind him is his son, Li Qi, who is about to become a ritual of the Wang family in Jin Dynasty.
"Father, really no see you?" Li Qi asked.
Li Jinglong continued to listen to the words from the hall and laughed in a low voice, "Son, do you see anything?" As he said that, he paused and said, "These Japanese envoys can really bend and stretch! I remember that when our Ming envoys sent to Japan, some prince Huailiang there was directly slaughtering him. But now, they are like pugs!"
Li Qi smiled and said, "They beg you, my father!"
"I'm wrong, not begging your father, they are begging for our Ming Dynasty!" Li Jinglong smiled, "They are afraid of our Ming Dynasty!" As he said, he sneered, "When I didn't ask for us, I was talking and he looked like you were fighting. Now I begged for us, and the envoys of a country were humble to our concierge and housekeeper, haha!"
Li Qi was silent for a moment, "It's shameless!"
