Before leaving Japan, Zhu Zhanzhen planned to go to Kyoto first. He had not yet met the new emperor.
After all, Emperor Chongguang Nian was a misguided person and had no heirs, so he found an adopted son in the Emperor Nian's clan. The child became the new Emperor Nian at the age of eight, and was known as the Emperor Nian in the Back Garden.
When Zhu Zhanchen heard this name at first, he thought it was a joke, but he didn't expect it to be true. The Japanese people's name was really random.
Zhu Zhanzhen was walking around Kyoto on a tall horse, which was really majestic. The people in Kyoto were also very curious about this prince from the Ming Dynasty. The streets were crowded with people. They were worried about danger and dispersed some of them.
In order to welcome Zhu Zhanzong, Kyoto prepared a grand celebration. Ashikaga Yoshitaka entertained Zhu Zhansheng as a host. The guests were all Japanese nobles who got delicious food from the silver mine sharing.
These people all regard Zhu Zhanyi as the God of Wealth. In less than a year since Zhu Zhanyi arrived in Japan, the total wealth of these people has more than doubled, and it is expected that it will still be there next year.
There will be more. I make money every day when I open my eyes and lie in bed. If I don’t thank you, who would I thank?
When the banquet was in full swing, the new emperor was invited in.
He was a fair and tender child who looked timid and could not even speak a word when meeting the big shot in this room.
Emperor Nian in the Back Garden was originally the adopted son of Emperor Chongguang Nian, but he obviously didn't cultivate his adopted son well, and even basically let him go.
Zhu Zhanzhen's eyes fell on the beautiful woman behind Huang Huang in the back garden.
She was wearing traditional Japanese clothes, which was very solemn. The feeling of sadness between her brows could not be imitated by ordinary people. She was fair and thin, and her collarbone could be faintly seen on her slender and smooth neck. She seemed to have a sense of brokenness rushing through her body.
She is the adoptive mother of Emperor Nian in the Back Garden, the concubine of Emperor Nian of Guang, Wan Chai Pier, bronzeware.
Her name is Hino Kyoko, and she is also the sister of Hino Kotaro. If you talk about this family, you have heard of sisters, or even mother and daughter, but you never thought there are brothers and sisters. Japanese people have been playing tricks since ancient times.
Zhu Zhanzhen was now a little curious, saying that Emperor Guang Nian had gone astray, so the biggest gap between people in this Princess Nian was whether it existed or not.
Zhu Zhanzhen laughed at himself, wondering whether he had stayed in Japan for a long time and his thinking had been eroded, so he actually had such strange thoughts.
After drinking and eating, Ashikaga Yoshitsune smelled of wine, and his face was flushed. He pulled Zhu Zhanxi and said some harmless words, that we are as close as brothers and we will continue to cooperate in the future.
Zhu Zhanzhen responded as usual. At this time, Hino Kyoko came over with the emperor from the back garden to toast.
Ashikaga Yoshitsune was a little dissatisfied when he saw her, and casually said a few words to send the two of them back to their own actions. As the nominal supreme being in Japan, Emperor Nian was getting less and less respected.
Zhu Zhanzhen asked curiously: "General Ashikaga? Why are you so impatient with the little emperor? Is there something wrong?"
"Well, your highness doesn't know something. The Hino family is a big family in Japan. It is related by marriage to our shogunate, the emperor's family and some nobles. Its network of relationships is very broad and its connections are prosperous. However, in recent years, it has become too arrogant and domineering.
, when I was appointed as general, the Hino family was opposed to it, and later they were opposed to the Zhurihe Group and the division of the silver mines."
It should be quite a headache for Ashikaga Yoshitaka to take the lead in opposing such a large and intricate family. If most people had not benefited, Ashikaga Yoshitaka would not have been able to promote cooperation with Zhu Zhanxing so easily.
This is also the reason why Ashikaga Yoshitaka has a bad attitude towards the Hino family. No one was invited to attend such a grand gathering today. There is even news that the Hino family is now preparing to rebel against the shogunate of Ashikaga Yoshitaka and wants to conduct a thorough investigation.
Sudden deaths of Emperor Mimitsu and Ashikaga Yoshimochi.
People don't mention this, they are enjoying themselves, but you just hold on to it, are you being ignorant?
Just as the two were talking, the door to the living room was opened, and several people poured in aggressively.
The leader is a short and stocky Japanese man. He is over 1.5 meters tall today but has a relatively strong build. He is wearing a Japanese warrior uniform and is decorated with a lot of precious gold ornaments. The men following him are also wearing Japanese samurai uniforms.
Similar clothes, bearing the emblem of their family.
The sudden arrival of the uninvited guest made everyone nervous. Yang Lu and Alia were at the side with guards, but they immediately stepped forward to protect Zhu Zhanyi.
Ashikaga Yoshitsune was furious: "Hinomura, what are you doing?"
Hinomura is the head of the Hino family and the father of Hino Kyoko and Hino Kotaro. His seniority and status are very high in Japan.
Hinomura smiled boldly, picked up the wine glass on the nearest table, and strode up to Zhu Zhanzhen: "Haha, I'm just meeting the legendary Ming Sea King. Come on, I'll give you a toast to the Ming Sea King.
"
He raised his glass, but because of the force, the wine spilled a little.
But the wine glass was just hanging in the air with no one answering, which was a little embarrassing.
Zhu Zhanyi saw that his intention was to propose a toast, but he was speaking in Japanese, so Zhu Zhanyi could not understand him.
Although Zhu Zhanchang had observed Japanese teaching by many Japanese teachers, he said that the vocabulary he mastered was limited to simple daily application vocabulary such as Yide and Si Guoyin. Zhu Zhanchang did not understand his gibbering for a long time.
Ashikaga Yoshitsune and others communicated with Zhu Zhanzhen in Chinese.
Zhu Zhanxi left Hinomura, who was a little embarrassed, and turned to Ashikaga Yoshitsune, who had to translate Hinomura's words to Zhu Zhanshen.
After hearing this, Zhu Zhanzhen still ignored Hinomura who was holding the wine glass, but asked: "Does this Hinomura have any position in Japan?"
Ashikaga Yoshitsune explained that he was probably equivalent to the former Minister of War, but he had already become an official, and there were still many people in his family serving in the court.
Since you have no position and are against me, why should I give you face and drink with you.
The only thing you need to worry about is whether this is a coup, but seeing that there are only five people on the other side, and there are soldiers from Japan and Ming Dynasty outside, there is no such worry.
Zhu Zhanzhen said to Ashikaga Yoshitaka: "I am the prince of the Ming Dynasty. If you Japanese people without official status want to toast me, then I can't drink cup by cup from the streets and alleys."
The words are written casually, but with full contempt. In short, it is one sentence, you are not worthy of toasting me.
Ashikaga Yoshitsune translated Zhu Zhanzhen's words to Hinomura with a smile on his face.
Don't look at the little old man from Hino Village. He has a hot temper. He thinks Zhu Zhanzhen is humiliating himself.
"Baga." Hinomura threw the wine glass and was about to draw his sword.
Zhu Zhanchen understood this sentence without needing to translate it.
Hinomura is famous for his bad temper. When Ashikaga Yoshimichi was in power, there were often quarrels, a stubborn old man with a hot temper.
The subordinate behind him had some brains and stopped Hinomura before he could draw his sword.
Zhu Zhanzhen was the most gentle and easy-going person. According to the Bible, Jesus said: "If someone slaps you on your right cheek, then his whole family will be taken away."
Yes, Jesus said that.
As Zhu Zhanzhen stood up, Yang Feng and Aliya held weapons in hand and prepared to fight.
"Yang Feng, Alya, catch that old man. Anyone who dares to stop him will be killed without mercy."
"yes."
After giving the order, Yang Feng and Alya rushed forward with their men. Their martial arts were extraordinary, and the other party's subordinates did not dare to attack easily.
There were also people blocking the front. Aliya raised the knife and brought it down without any hesitation. The blade of the knife passed across one person's neck, blood spurted out, and he killed them immediately.
This is the Kyoto Imperial Palace in Japan. Zhu Zhanzhen killed someone in public, which shocked other Japanese nobles.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Zhu Zhanzhen had naturally thought about daring to attack the people of Hino Village. First of all, Ashikaga Yoshitsune, as a general, and the Hino family currently have a bad relationship. The Hino family was also offended because of their opposition to the Zhu Rihe Group and the Fenyin Mine.
There are many Japanese nobles, and everyone here has benefited from following Zhu Zhanzhen.
As for Emperor Nian, an eight-year-old child is currently hiding by holding on to his mother's corner.
After a while, Yang Feng and Alya led people to capture Hinomura firmly. Although Hinomura continued to struggle, he was unable to recover.
He originally wanted to cause trouble today by relying on his old man, but he didn't expect that Zhu Zhanzhen would not give him any face. With his status, even Ashikaga Yoshinori would have to give him some face. The current Ashikaga Yoshitaka is even worse. He basically
He spoke to Ashikaga Yoshitaka as an elder.
But I didn't expect that the iron plate was mentioned today. Zhu Zhanzhen didn't play his cards according to the routine, and had no intention of respecting his elders. He didn't tell anyone that he couldn't get off the stage, and he directly ordered others to take action.
Foreign monks do not recite local sutras.
Why does Zhu Zhanzhen want to give you face? Does your family have a strong family in Japan? What does it have to do with me? If I beat you, how can you go to Zhu Gaochi to complain?
Zhu Zhanzhen walked up to Hinomura, who was being held tightly, and was condescending, mainly because of the huge height difference.
"What did you mean by Baga just now?"
"Rude Ming Dynasty, Ashikaga Yoshitaka you bitch, look at how this Ming Dynasty dares to attack me in our Japanese land in front of the emperor and you, a general. Sooner or later you will be annexed by the Ming Dynasty, Japan
Sooner or later it will be destroyed by your hands." Hinomura roared at Ashikaga Yoshitaka.
"What is he talking about?" Zhu Zhanzhen still didn't understand and looked at Ashikaga Yoshitaka.
Ashikaga Yoshitsune's face twitched in embarrassment. The real translator was afraid that Zhu Zhanzhen might really take action. He had seen His Highness's temper before, and he would not suffer at all.
He secretly scolded Hinomura for being ignorant. Even if a group of people bullied Zhu Zhanzhen today, what's the point? Do you have the guts to go to sea and bully other people's steam warship fleet?
Ashikaga Yoshitsune could only say with a smile: "Hinomura knew that he was wrong, and he was just apologizing to His Highness."
"He apologized for such a long time?"
Ashikaga Yoshitsune's face twitched and he was very embarrassed: "The apology is more sincere."
Of course Zhu Zhanzhen knew that he would not accept the apology and said: "General Ashikaga, this guy disrespected me and brought people and weapons in front of me. Now I suspect that he wants to assassinate me. General Ashikaga, what do you think we should do now?"
.”
Ashikaga Yoshimochi was a little embarrassed, but after weighing it, he said: "Your Highness, I will first order someone to take Hinomura down and imprison him as a punishment. He is too old to be imprisoned, so he should be put in solitary confinement first."
It was obvious that Ashikaga Yoshitaka did not want to offend Hinomura. His status in Japan was indeed very high. Zhu Zhanzhen did not make things difficult for him. He asked Yang Feng and Aliyah to let go and asked Ashikaga Yoshitaka's subordinates to take him down and imprison him.
Along the way, Hinomura was still cursing.
Zhu Zhanzhen pointed to the corpse on the ground and said, "What should we do? It's rare to have a gathering with the general and Emperor Nian today. I was in high spirits, but it was disappointing."
"The Hino family has ruined His Highness's interest. Naturally, the Hino family will ask the Hino family to compensate themselves. It is disrespectful to let His Highness see blood. I will order the Hino family to come to the door in person and bring gifts to apologize."
The banquet had almost ended here. Zhu Zhanzhen stood up and said to Emperor Nian in the back garden: "Your Excellency, Emperor Nian, I will take my leave now. Your Excellency, the Queen Mother, we will see you another day."
…
Zhu Zhanzhen returned to the palace where he was staying. Ashikaga Yoshitsune had prepared it for him, and when he learned that Zhu Zhanzhen was going back to the Ming Dynasty, he also prepared a lot of gifts for Zhu Zhanzhen. He had made money, so he naturally wanted to reward him.
Meet Zhu Zhanyi.
Zhu Zhanzhen counted the gifts given to him by Ashikaga Yoshitaka and other Japanese nobles in the yard, and piled them all up in the yard. It can be said that he gained a lot.
"Your Highness, this is some kind of chewing wine from Japan." Aliya was holding a jar of wine while counting the gifts.
"Throw it away, what's so good about saliva? Why do you keep giving me this thing? Do I look like someone who drinks this kind of thing?" Zhu Zhanzhen's face was full of disgust.
At night, Zhu Zhanzhen looked up at the moon in the yard. After being away for a year, he was finally going back.
"Your Highness, someone is visiting."
"Oh? Who is there at night?" Zhu Zhanzhen did not expect that someone would come at night.
Xiaosheng said with some embarrassment: "Your Highness, she is the Empress Dowager of Japan."
Zhu Zhanzhen was shocked, why is it her, what is the plot, the Japanese widow visits the Ming Dynasty prince at night?
Xiaosheng invited her in and took off her black robe. As expected, it was the Empress Dowager of Japan, Hino Kyoko.
"Hino Kyoko has met His Highness the Sea King of the Ming Dynasty."
"Your Excellency, the Empress Dowager, you don't need to be polite. What do you mean by your late night visit?" The two were alone in a room. Zhu Zhanzhen was not afraid of the other party's assassination. With their identities here, the two sides were not in a fight to the death, and Hino Kyoko
With such a delicate body, how could he not be able to defeat a tall man of 1.8 meters?
Hino Kyoko bowed slightly and said, "Your Highness, the main reason I came here is to apologize to Your Majesty for my father's reckless behavior today. I hope Your Majesty will not blame you."
You have to show your sincerity when apologizing. Obviously, her empty apology is not sincere enough. But since the identity of the other party is here, Zhu Zhanzhen did not intend to pursue it and said: "As you get older, there are some extreme behaviors. I hope
Next, Her Majesty the Queen Mother can regulate your father's words and deeds to avoid affecting the relationship between our two countries."
Hino Kyoko knelt down respectfully and continued: "There is one more thing that your Highness must agree to."
"Please tell me."
"I hope His Highness the Sea King of the Ming Dynasty can adopt Quan Zi as his adopted son."
Hino Kyoko's words really frightened Zhu Zhanzhen. What are you doing, do you accept me as your father?
