In the early morning, He Guangyi got up from the gentle countryside.
The sky outside the window is blue, and the scattered gardens, rockeries and flowing water in the sight are pleasing to the eye. When the wind blows, the wind bells hanging under the eaves jingle.
Everything in front of him is so similar to the Ming Dynasty, but it is fundamentally different from the Ming Dynasty. Before entering the Japanese country, He Guangyi thought that it was similar to Goryeo, with low city-states and thatched houses everywhere, just like a remote country.
state.
But deep inside, I discovered that the land of Japan was actually quiet and elegant. Especially the city of the Yamana family, which was built on a mountain, surrounded by a moat, and had gray stone and blue tiles. Compared with the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty,
Not to mention more concessions.
Every building here seemed familiar to him, like something from the Ming Dynasty, but not like the Ming Dynasty. To be precise, it looked more like the surviving ancient buildings of the Han and Tang Dynasties in the Shanxi Province of the Ming Dynasty.
The etiquette is also similar to that of the Ming Dynasty, but it is completely different from the Ming Dynasty. They kneel down, do not bow but bow desperately. In the writings of the Japanese, Han Chinese writings can be seen everywhere, but the words are not expressive, which makes people confused.
"Master! You're awake!"
The white arms wrapped around her, revealing Xie Yaner's shy face among her black hair, "I'm waiting for you to get up!"
He Guangyi smiled and grabbed the catkin of the other party, "You just broke the melon, you can rest!"
Hearing this, Xie Yaner was too shy to look into his eyes, and then slowly leaned on his shoulder.
"Hey!" He Guangyi sighed in his heart.
He doesn’t have to take in Xie Jinzhong’s daughter, but he really can’t help it!
Their fleet docked at the port, and the head of the Yamana family, together with his family elders and hundreds of warriors, greeted him ceremoniously. When he waved the imperial envoy banner of the Ming Dynasty, the head of the Yamana family kowtowed with some unexpected piety.
Then the other party held a grand banquet for the sudden arrival of the envoy. Of course, the banquet included singing girls to add to the fun.
Suddenly, He Guangyi shuddered when he thought of those singing girls with pale faces.
"Then who the hell is a human? Is that a female ghost from the underworld?"
The killers who came to Japan with him had already turned green-eyed. They were shouting when they were on the boat, and even if they encountered a female ghost, they would dare to attack her first.
But at the banquet at that time, those pale and eyebrowless faces were exposed from behind the fans. He Guangyi clearly saw that several of his brothers were almost frightened. If he hadn't been calm enough to yell, I'm afraid the brothers would have been beaten on the spot.
knife.
"This place is a good place, with beautiful scenery! But the food is a bit lacking, and so are the women!" He Guangyi thought in his heart.
Women can tolerate it even if they are not good, but the food they eat really makes people suffer indescribably.
The clear soup is watery, just like washing intestines. It's not even a fist-sized rice bowl, and the meat is completely missing. At most, I can get some fish fillets dipped in soy sauce, or else it's soy sauce mixed with rice.
At this time, He Guangyi missed the food in the capital very much. No matter how many streets or food stalls there were, the food would be delicacies.
Xiaolongbaozi with tofu, mutton soup with sesame seed cakes, roast duck and braised chicken. Shandong cuisine with pork belly, Huaiyang cuisine with lion head...
As I thought about it, my stomach started to growl as if in protest.
"You're worthless!" He Guangyi scolded himself secretly, "You have a heavy responsibility and you actually want to eat? It's a killing!"
"Everyone, something has been bothering me for a long time!" Tokihiro Yamana said.
The Yamana clan was originally a powerful vassal of the Japanese state. At its peak, among the sixty-six princes of the Japanese state, eleven were directly vassalized and directly subordinate to them. The family has a long history, and all members of the family have been ministers of the Japanese state for generations, and they have great authority.
However, after Ashikaga Yoshimitsu unified the north and south of Japan and established the shogunate, the Yamana family aroused fear and was constantly suppressed by the shogunate. Then, the Yamana family raised a flag of justice to resist the shogunate, but unfortunately they were defeated. The previous generation of the family leader, Uji Kiyoshi, died in the war, so the Yamana family had to
They bowed their heads to the shogunate.
But the Yamano family had never really obeyed the shogunate. Not only them, but also many daimyo princes in the Japanese country were implicitly hostile to the shogunate.
When the head of the family spoke, the core members of the family bowed their heads and listened.
The older generation's family member, Lao Shanna Shigemura, said, "Is the head of the family thinking about the envoy from the Ming Dynasty?"
"The one who knows me is my uncle!" Tokihiro Yamana said, "Envoys from the Ming Dynasty came suddenly, under the pretext of wanting to meet Ashikaga Yoshimitsu. However, they could obviously disembark from other places, so why did they have to
Are you coming to pass through the territory of my mountain master?"
"Furthermore, during the banquet a few days ago, the Ming Dynasty envoy showed that he was quite dissatisfied with the shogunate. He always used words to test our relationship with the shogunate. Is there another agenda?"
