Chapter 485: The monarch is not a monarch, and the minister is not a minister
Tian Yuan Kojiro's voice echoed in front of the army, and for a moment everyone's eyes fell on Tian Yuan Kojiro's embarrassed figure.
Behind Tian Yuan Kojiro, Kudu Unsai who was chasing him and even Qingyan Wuzhi, who came on behalf of the shogunate, could not help but change their expressions when they saw Tian Yuan Kojiro speak.
Jiudu Yunzhai suddenly appeared beside Tian Yuan Kojiro, stabbing Tian Yuan Kojiro fiercely with a long knife in his hand.
Although Tian Yuan Kojiro is said to be quite skilled, he is far inferior to Koga-ryu ninjas like Kudo Unsai. If he had not been accompanied by guards sent by the Emperor along the way, he would have been killed long ago.
.
Seeing that Tian Yuan Kojiro was about to be stabbed to death by Jiudu Yunzhai, there was only a ding sound, and the long knife in Jiudu Yunzai's hand was blocked by a sword.
Qi Hu's figure appeared in front of Tian Yuan Kojiro, and his sword blocked Jiudu Yunzhai's blow.
Jiudu Yunzhai's eyes shrank. Just after a fight, Jiudu Yunzhai realized that Qi Hu's cultivation was much stronger than his, and he instinctively took a defensive posture.
At this moment, a look of disappointment flashed in Qingyan Wuzhi's eyes and he said: "His Royal Highness King Wu of Ming Dynasty is above. On behalf of General Ashikaga, Qingyan Wuzhi would like to pay homage to His Highness King Wu! Your Highness is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand thousand years old."
Jiudu Yunzhai put away his sword and stood up, but his eyes were fixed on Qi Hu.
Qi Hu glanced at Jiudu Yunzhai lightly and said with a bit of disdain: "You dare to use the knife in front of His Highness!"
Even a fool can figure out the situation in front of him. For example, Tian Yuan Kojiro obviously represents the emperor, and the person who is chasing Tian Yuan Kojiro is obviously another Japanese force.
Regarding the situation in Japan, even if the generals did not know it before, they naturally knew what they should know after being in Japan for so long.
The emperor represents orthodoxy, while the shogunate empties the emperor's real power. The two are interdependent and constantly fighting.
Even if the two sides were fighting openly and secretly on weekdays, it could not reach this level. It was only because Chu Yi led an army to Japan that the emperor saw hope of regaining power, and it also aroused the fear of the shogun.
All Chu Yi heard was: "Bring them here!"
Tian Yuan Kojiro took a long breath and finally felt relieved. In Tian Yuan Kojiro's view, since Chu Yi is willing to see him, then he has succeeded more than half of the time. As long as he persuades Chu Yi, then
Then he can make a report to the emperor.
Thinking of the Emperor regaining power, and he being the first person under the Emperor's throne, and having the power at that time, Tian Geng Kojiro suddenly thought of the beauty, and even couldn't help showing a look of longing on his face.
Qingyan Wuzhi looked solemn, signaled Jiudu Yunzhai to calm down a little, and strode forward towards Chu Yixing with Tian Yuan Kojiro.
The expression on Tian Yuan Kojiro's face showed in Qingyan Wu Zhi's eyes that the two could be said to be old enemies, and they knew each other's thoughts very well.
Although he couldn't guess Tian Yuan Kojiro's specific thoughts, just by looking at Tian Yuan Kojiro's expression, Qingyan Wuzhi could guess a little bit, and he couldn't help but snorted.
Tian Yuan Kojiro naturally heard Qingyan Wuzhi's cold snort, but he didn't take it to heart at all.
When they got closer, Tian Yuan Kojiro saw a trace of surprise in his eyes when he saw Chu Yi surrounded by everyone. He was obviously shocked by Chu Yi's age.
It's true that Chu Yi looks too young. At first glance, he looks like a young man who has nothing to do.
Not only Tian Yuan Kojiro, but even Qingyan Wu Zhi was stunned when he saw Chu Yi. Fortunately, both of them were high-ranking figures in Japan and had strong control over their own emotions, so their expressions did not change.
, bowed respectfully to Chu Yi.
Chu Yi looked at Tian Yuan Kojiro and Qingyan Wuzhi, with a slight curl of the corner of his mouth and said: "You two are here, and you don't know why?"
Tian Yuan Kojiro suddenly raised his head and said to Chu Yi: "His Royal Highness King Wu is above, and below is Tian Yuan Kojiro. We are here on the order of His Majesty the Emperor. I would like to ask Your Highness to remember that Japan is a country listed as unconquerable by Taizu of the Ming Dynasty. His Majesty the Emperor admires our country."
The Emperor of Tomorrow has been around for a long time. I sincerely ask Your Highness to help our Emperor eliminate his enemies and regain control of the world. Your Majesty is willing to establish eternal peace with the Emperor of Tomorrow..."
At this moment, Qingyan Wuzhi laughed loudly from the side, and said while laughing: "It's ridiculous, it's really ridiculous!"
Everyone's eyes fell on Qingyan Wuzhi. Chu Yi looked at Qingyan Wuzhi with interest and said, "Why is this envoy laughing?"
Qingyan Wuzhi, who successfully attracted attention to himself, straightened his expression, bowed to Chu Yi and said: "I am Qingyan Wuzhi, I have come here on the order of my general. I would like to respect the Great Emperor of Tomorrow as my master, and I sincerely ask the Great Emperor of Tomorrow to come.
I decree that my general will be crowned the King of Japan and guard Japan for the Ming Dynasty!"
Lu Dazhu and other generals opened their eyes wide and looked at Tian Yuan Kojiro and Qingyan Wuzhi. They only heard Lu Dazhu sneer and said: "If our Ming Dynasty wants to occupy Japan, why should we wait? Tian Yuan Kojiro, listen up, let your emperor
Present your credentials as early as possible, leave the city and surrender, and stop daydreaming."
Tian Yuan Kojiro's expression changed drastically when Qingyan Wuzhi spoke. When Lu Dazhu spoke, his expression became more and more ugly, and he subconsciously looked towards Chu Yi.
But when he saw Chu Yi looking at him with a calm expression, half-smiling but not smiling, Tian Yuan Kojiro's heart couldn't help but sink.
Just like a drowning man grasping the last life-saving straw, Tian Yuan Kojiro loudly said to Chu Yi: "Your Highness King Wu, Japan is a country that Taizu listed as unconquerable. If you wait to destroy Japan,
Where will the Taizu be placed, and where will the Emperor of Tomorrow be placed..."
Obviously Tian Yuan Kojiro saw that Chu Yi and others were serious about destroying Japan, so he had no choice but to make a last ditch effort, hoping to make Chu Yi and others have some scruples.
After all, Tian Yuan Kojiro was also familiar with China. He was well aware of the culture of Chinese officialdom, and he also knew what the ancestral precepts of Ming Taizu meant to the emperors of the Ming Dynasty and even the civil and military affairs.
When the generals heard this, their expressions suddenly became very ugly. Japan was a country listed by Taizu as a country not to be conquered. This was indeed a fact. Now Tian Yuan Kojiro pointed out that these generals who only wanted to achieve military exploits to destroy the country must be
It's strange to be happy.
Chu Yi just shook his head slowly, looked down at Tian Yuan Kojiro and said: "Tian Yuan Kojiro, do you have any misunderstandings about the ancestral precepts left by Taizu in the past?"
Hearing Chu Yi's words, Tian Yuan Kojiro couldn't help but be stunned. Apparently he didn't quite understand what Chu Yi meant.
Not only Tian Yuan Kojiro, but also Yu Dayou, Lu Dazhu and other generals also showed doubts.
Chu Yi glanced at everyone, and finally smiled at Zhai Luan and said: "General Zhai, you are the number one scholar in the Ming Dynasty in the past. You should know the purpose of Taizu's list of countries that cannot be conquered. Why don't you give it to everyone?
Let’s do it all at once!”
Zhai Luan was stunned for a moment, feeling that everyone's eyes were on him. Zhai Luan sighed softly and faced the eyes of everyone and slowly said: "You all know that the country that Taizu listed as unconquerable was
I don’t know why Taizu listed these countries that are not to be conquered!”
Lu Dazhu asked curiously: "Oh, could it be that Taizu had other intentions?"
Zhai Luan nodded slowly and said: "Yes, the reason why Taizu listed the surrounding countries as non-conquerable countries was not to prevent future emperors from conquering these countries. His intention was to warn future emperors not to engage in such militaristic behavior!"
As he spoke, Zhai Luan's eyes flashed and he said: "The so-called no conquest is not the real no conquest, but just to warn future generations!"
All the generals suddenly looked surprised when they heard this. Yu Dayou nodded and said: "It turns out that the reason why Emperor Taizu listed the countries not to be conquered was because of this intention. No wonder Emperor Wenzong would conquer Jiaozhi several times, but the civil and military officials did not.
be opposed to."
Chu Yi couldn't help but secretly shake his head after hearing Yu Dayou's mutterings. After all, Yu Dayou was still too young and had not experienced too many turmoils in the officialdom. When Emperor Wenzong conquered Jiaozhi, it was not that there was no civil and military opposition, but that those civil and military personnel were afraid of being killed by Emperor Wenzong.
, otherwise, given the urinary nature of those literati, I really think they would not dare to use chicken feathers as arrows.
After hearing Zhai Luan's words, Tian Yuan Kojiro's face suddenly turned extremely pale. The biggest source of confidence for him to come this time was the ancestral precepts left by the Ming Taizu. Japan was a country that the Ming Dynasty did not conquer. He thought that as long as he showed a little
If Chu Yi wishes to respect the Ming Dynasty as the supreme kingdom of heaven, he will help the emperor regain his power, but he never thought that the other party would really want to swallow up Japan.
As if he was crazy, Tian Yuan Kojiro laughed loudly, and while laughing, he said to Qingyan Wuzhi: "Qingyan Wuzhi, did you hear that, Japan is over, Japan is over..."
Qingyan Wuzhi ignored the crazy Tian Yuan Kojiro, and said to Chu Yi with great respect: "Your Highness Mingjian, my general is willing to respect Emperor Ming as the emperor. I only hope that Emperor Ming will confer on my general, the king of Japan, to guard Japan as Emperor Ming, and to be the Ming Dynasty forever."
His vassal!"
"Arrogant, we will take the land of Japan with our swords and guns, and we will have officials to guard the people on behalf of the emperor, so why wait for you!"
Taking a deep breath, Qingyan Wuzhi said to Jiudu Yunzhai: "Jiudu Yunzhai, rush out and report to General Ming, and General Ming will be prepared to fight to the death!"
While speaking, Qingyan Wuzhi pulled out his samurai sword, and amid the surprised gazes of all the generals, he stabbed his own stomach with the knife. Then he twisted violently, and as blood spurted out, Qingyan Wuzhi actually committed suicide!
Chu Yi glanced at Qingyan Wuzhi and said, "It's a bit bloody!"
The madman-like Tian Yuan Kojiro suddenly seemed to be strangled by the neck, with a look of fear on his face. He seemed to feel Chu Yi's eyes on him, and saw Tian Yuan Kojiro staggering back, waving his hands and shaking his head: "No, no.
Kill me, don’t kill me, I am willing to surrender, I am willing to surrender..."
Compared with Qingyan Wuzhi's determination and loyalty, Tian Yuan Kojiro's miserable performance is obviously more shameful.
Jiudu Yunzhai disappeared from sight in a flash, and Qi Hu moved and was about to chase Jiudu Yunzhai, when Chu Yi said: "Qi Hu, let him go!"
Qi Hu paused, and the next moment he appeared next to Chu Yi, standing behind him.
Chu Yi could only be heard saying: "The army is marching!"
I saw the army once again billowing smoke and heading straight for Kyoto.
A flash of bright red gradually spread from Tian Geng Kojiro's eyebrows. A famous soldier walked past Tian Geng Kojiro. The next moment, Tian Geng Kojiro's body swayed and fell down with a thud.
Kyoto
As the political and cultural center of Japan, under the management of successive shogunates, Kyoto can be said to be the largest city in Japan, and it can also be said to be the richest city.
But at this moment, such a city was plunged into panic and chaos.
Almost half of Japan's powerful people live in the city. With the connections of these people, they naturally got the news early that the Ming soldiers and horses were heading straight for Kyoto.
It's just that since the founding of Japan, apart from the Mongolian invasion in the past, Japan has never suffered any external threats, and no one has been able to conquer Kyoto.
Therefore, even after receiving the news, these dignitaries did not pay too much attention. They did not believe that the Ming Dynasty soldiers and horses could really attack the city or even attack Kyoto, which had never fallen.
But at this moment, the huge Kyoto was surrounded by a huge army. Tens of thousands of soldiers suddenly arrived and completely sealed the four gates of Kyoto, even giving these dignitaries no chance to escape from the city.
There is no time.
The city of Kyoto was completely surrounded, and at the same time, the city of Kyoto was also plunged into chaos.
Needless to say, there are two largest forces in Kyoto. One is the emperor's line, and the other is the shogunate. Relatively speaking, the shogunate is the strongest. Among the nearly 10,000 defenders in Kyoto, the shogunate is the leader.
It controls 80% of the city, and the remaining 20%, almost 10%, is owned by the emperor's family. As for the remaining 10%, it is occupied by a part of the neutral dignitaries in the city.
With more than 10,000 troops defending the city of Kyoto, even the local daimyo Shangluo would have to fight fiercely to break through Kyoto. However, when looking at the tens of thousands of daimyo's heavenly soldiers with high morale and high morale outside the city, it would take a fierce battle to break through Kyoto.
, both the shogun and the emperor's officials were silent.
With a bang, in the Kyoto Imperial Palace, Emperor Gokashiwara smashed a vase to pieces with a ferocious expression. At the same time, he viciously kicked a singer to the ground and roared: "Damn it, it's really abominable, you damn Chu Yi eunuch."
, How dare you ruin my important affairs, I am a descendant of Amaterasu..."
The roaring sound spread out, and all the attendants outside lowered their heads with panic on their faces, fearing that they might accidentally anger the emperor and be beaten to death.
At this moment, there was a burst of noise, and then a figure was seen coming straight into the spring palace followed by a group of soldiers. If it wasn't the shogun, who was Ashikaga Yoshitaka?
Sakonoe Minister Toshima Ichiro couldn't help but change his expression when he saw Ashikaga Yoshiue leading his troops. He quickly led people to meet him and tried to stop Ashikaga Yoshiue. He shouted: "Ashikaga Yoshiue, you are so bold. How dare you lead the army?"
The army broke into the Kyoto Imperial Palace without authorization, but you still have Amaterasu and His Majesty the Emperor in your eyes!"
