Chapter 138 Daoyan’s pot comes from the sky

The guardian of the Hirado area, the Matsuura clan, showed an extremely friendly attitude towards the Ming delegation led by Duke Cao.

If you don't consider those pirate ships returning from full load at Hirado Port.

Li Jinglong's trip to Japan has been very smooth so far.

Whether it is the Matsuura clan, the Ouchi clan, or the Otomo clan, or the Kono clan, these hedgehog clans who are the guardian daimyo clans in western Japan, they respectfully sent the Ming delegation gifts out of the country.

The Matsuura clan had long sent envoys to inform the news that the Ming Dynasty's high-level mission came without reporting. Kuaima informed Emperor Komatsu in Kyoto, the general Ashikaga Yoshihiko in Muromachi, and the real ruler of Japan.

, Ashikaga Yoshiman located in Sakukji Temple, Manenyama, Kyoto.

Well, now Ashikaga Yoshiman usually asks others to call his Dharma name "Tianshan Daoyi".

Xiangguo Temple, Luyuan Courtyard.

The other side flowers all over the mountains form a beautiful sea of ​​flowers, and the manzhushahua reflects a shocking red color, which is quite charming and charming.

It was early autumn, but there were still flowers here, with fragrance scented.

"I once heard 'Daoyan' say a few words, which can be regarded as a rumor."

This must be the conspiracy of the Ming people!

Gu Jianmiaokuai pondered for a moment and said, "What you are worried about should have happened."

"Then let them do it."

Why has Japan been unified in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the emperor's legitimate daughter is still qualified to inherit the position of the Emperor?

Ashikaga Yoshiman stood there, staring quietly at his back until he completely disappeared from sight, and then slowly sighed.

"When I was traveling to the Ming Dynasty, I met a monk named "Daoyan" from the Ming Dynasty. He was the counselor of the vassal king. Just like the role I played for you, this man is also vicious and cruel.

Spicy, it is very likely that he suggested that the new emperor of Ming Dynasty expand into our Japan."

Gu Jian Miaokuai explained: "Yes, this is the high sect inherited by the third-ranked founding duke of the Ming Dynasty. This generation of Duke Cao was once the Emperor Jianwen when we sent an envoy to the Ming Dynasty the next year before.

General', this is the highest official position that military generals can obtain in Chinese history. At that time, Emperor Jianwen personally pushed the wheels of the Duke of Cao's chariot to send him to war. This is also a kind of supreme ritual passed down from China."

After the founder passed away, the Pure Land Sect and Niren Sect gradually split into many sects due to the orthodox struggle for ideological orthodoxism, but they were still supported by many peasant believers.

He stopped and said, "Host, I want to ask you something?"

"Amitabha."

Therefore, if the prince cannot inherit it, then as the first legitimate princess, she will become the seventh female emperor in Japanese history.

Her facial features are extremely delicate, like a work of art carved by God.

As soon as the other party spoke, Gu Jianmiao Kuai said directly.

Gu Jianmiaokuai walked on the green brick-paved tree-lined path and suddenly saw a girl standing in front of him.

Ashikaga Yoshiman looked up and looked at the beautiful face in front of him, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"When the new emperor was a vassal king, he followed several generals of the Ming Dynasty to expel the Yuan bandits north, and had a lofty prestige and deep connections in the Ming Dynasty's military."

"Abbot."

Gu Jian Miaokuai said: "The only news we know is that this Ming State mission has a very high standard and is led by Duke Cao, who has a status of only one person in the Ming State."

This old man who ended the Japanese Northern and Southern Dynasties personally had his own eyes full of unconcealed worries.

Mengcun Shushi, a high-ranking monk in Japan's Linji Sect, did not seek fame and fortune, did not enter the power rank, studied Buddhism carefully, and was a great Zen style. He was once given the title of Master of the Seven Great Kingdoms by the Japanese Emperor and was called "Seven Dynasties Emperor Master".

Jian Miaokuai is his favorite disciple.

Well, Master Mengchuang is this master of ancient swordsmanship.

"In such a situation, what can a mere Ming State mission do? How could I feel fear? What I am worried about is just the new emperor of Ming State."

Especially those watery eyes, like two bright stars, which makes people unable to look away.

"Please go to the temple to rest first. I also want to enjoy the sea of ​​flowers for a while. After the sun sets, I will come to visit the abbot."

The girl nodded slightly.

Ashikaga Yoshiman said slowly, hunched over.

Ashikaga Yoshiman's steps were steady and his expression was calm.

"Is what you want to ask about is the Ming State mission?" Gu Jianmiaokuai asked.

We must not be fooled!

Ashikaga Yoshima frowned slightly.

Ashikaga Yoshiman pursed his lips and thought for a while before asking: "You have been to the Ming Dynasty for many years. In Japan, you are the one who knows Ming Dynasty best. What is the purpose of the Ming Dynasty's mission? Matsuura

The messenger of the clan did not find out anything, and the Ming Dynasty's mission was very nervous."

"What should we do if Mingguo uses troops to our hinterland?" Gu Jianmiaokuai continued.

She is the first legitimate daughter of Emperor Houguishan of the Southern Dynasties and one of the theoretical heirs to the position of the Japanese emperor.

When Gu Jianmiaokuai heard this, he also had a sudden enlightenment on his face.

In order to survive the shogunate, Japan, which had just ended the war in the Southern and Northern Dynasties and was beaten with holes, must not go to war with the Ming Dynasty rashly.

During the Muromachi Shogunate period, due to the long confrontation between the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Buddhism also declined from its peak to its decline.

She was wearing a simple kimono, with a slim figure, and a snow-like skin. She showed a quiet and gentle temperament between her eyebrows, and was looking at him silently.

As Ashikaga Yoshimoto heard this, his originally dim eyes shone again.

"The new emperor of the Ming Dynasty was a tyrannical and bloodthirsty vassal king. He relied on force to kill the king and seized the throne. Such people were like the winners of the Yuan gangs who were the first to fight for the Khan.

Full of ambition.”

"The new emperor won the victory of this civil war. After finally completing the throne of regicide, he rewarded Duke Cao heavily, gave him the title of the head of all officials, and sent him to Japan with glory."

The ancient sword clapped together and bowed.

He paused and said again: "But no matter what, we must first find out the purpose of this Ming delegation."

"Mingguo may be waiting for us to take the initiative to be unfavorable or disrespectful to the mission, and thus make a statement as a reason to conquer us!"

This middle-aged monk was the host of the Kyoto Xiangguo Temple with the name "Gu Jian Miu Kuai". Although he didn't seem to be old, he was actually over fifty years old. In addition, he had traveled to the famous mountain temple in the Ming Dynasty to practice Zen.

Now he is the most exquisite Japanese Buddhist.

Gu Jian Miaokuai's face looked solemn: "What do you mean?"

After consciously thinking about all this, Ashikaga Yoshima said.

"Abbot, you are so kind. I am no longer a prince. Just call me your current name Xue Wuying." The woman called softly.

"In the Ming Dynasty, he no longer has an opponent, so he is likely to turn his attention to our Japan, just like the Yuan Kou."

The "Mingde Peace Treaty" clearly stipulates that the throne of the Japanese Emperor is a system of two dynasties, that is, the throne is inherited alternately by the Dajue Temple system of the Southern Dynasties and the Mingyuan system of the Northern Dynasties.

He took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Fortunately, there is abbot Ming Guotong. Thank you for your advice. I think I already understand how to treat Duke Cao."

"We in Japan have a population of tens of millions, dozens of guardian daimyos, hundreds of cities, each city has garrison troops stationed, and every village has troops available for recruitment."

The people of Daoyan sat in the temple, and the pot came from the sky.

This is because when the three artifacts were moved from the Southern Dynasty Dajue Temple to the inner Tsuji Gate where Emperor Komatsu lived in the Northern Dynasty, the two sides made an agreement, that is, the "Mingde Peace Agreement".

Ashikaga Yoshimoto's words were concise and his tone was strong.

"So, we must treat Duke Cao's mission carefully and respectfully, and we must never give the Ming people the handle!"

What was most respected during this period was the Meng Cloud National Master and the Headlight National Master who established the status of "Wushan Literature".

Ashikaga Yoshiman squatted down and picked up a Manjusa Hua.

"If what I expected was right, Mingguo must have been fully prepared. Otherwise, how could he send such a noble person to die?"

"But this does not prevent the worst-case scenario." Gu Jianmiao Kuai asked back: "Your Excellency, if the Ming Kingdom was working with our Japan like the Yuangang, where would they use troops?"

"Prince Otako ('Prince Ota' is a Japanese royal princess' title."

Ashikaga Yoshiman asked in confusion: "Since this Duke Cao is a general appointed by Emperor Jianwen, why is he now on behalf of the new emperor on his envoy?"

Ashikaga Yoshiman fell into a brief thought. He was already a dying person. Although he was no longer as talented and powerful as before in terms of appearance and temperament, this Japanese hero still has his own uniqueness.

decision.

"So I speculate that this Duke Cao and the founding ministers of Ming Dynasty did not have enough determination and will to fight against the new emperor on the battlefield."

"Plus with our strong walls, our swords, guns, arrows and war horse armor."

Ashikaga Yoshiman narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "Of course it is the southwest coastal area."

During the Kamakura Shogunate period, Zen Buddhism introduced from China was enthusiastically sought after by the shogun and the lower samurai due to its advocacy spirit, its pursuit of interest, and its simple and easy-to-practice practice method, and its influence quickly spread.

Ordinary people.

The girl in front of her was about fourteen years old, with a pretty and elegant appearance. She had a strand of black hair hanging down her ears on each cheek, making her look particularly playful and agile.

"Your Excellency, this is just my guess." Gu Jianmiao said slowly, "Compared with Ming Dynasty, our Japan is just a small place, and Ming Dynasty has far surpassed us in terms of territory and population. It is an extremely large one.
