Wanli Xinming

Chapter 285 The Temple of Light

Autumn in Kyoto is colorful, especially on Ziyun Mountain.Although it will take another month for the maple leaves to turn red, the Jinjie Guangming Temple in September has already rendered the people who appreciate autumn intoxicated.

However, no one in Guangming Temple today appreciates the picturesque autumn colors.After a month of preparations, the Guangmingji meeting called by Emperor Shochin was held on September 12, 26th year of Tensho—the emperor himself was sitting behind a screen.

In front of the screen, Prime Minister Akira Nijo first touched the small bun on the top of his head, and then put his body down on the folded seat completely:
"Every martial family! Since the ancestors of the gods were in Kashihara, the descendants of the great gods have been called emperors for hundreds of generations. It is because of the arrival of the ship from Hirado. The emperor came to order the imperial court to abolish the name of the emperor, and want to destroy our roots. Today, I invite you to come. Let’s take a look at the details together, in order to.” Speaking of this, Erjo Zhaoliang’s throat choked, and he was speechless.

Yuba Hideyoshi glanced at Oda Nobuyoshi and Shibata Katsuya beside him; he looked at Oda Nobuo and Tokugawa Ieyasu beside him.The head of the Oda clan after the Honno Temple Incident is here today.

In addition to these top martial clan forces, there are also a few scattered forces such as the Changzong Ibu Motokin and the Shimadzu clan that have not been unified by the Oda clan's forces - they can participate in the meeting of the Guangming Temple, but Hideyoshi Hideyoshi did not expect.

Nijo Akira's voice fell for a long time, but the leader of the three factions that were inextricably fought after Oda Nobunaga's death remained silent.They brought elite soldiers from their respective nests to the capital to participate in the meeting of the Guangming Temple. They did not want to be politically passive, but in order to have only a few bare officials left, the poor emperor who was already begging for food would fight against the [-] Ming army that was marching towards Kyoto. ——The martial family present here does not have such a high level of consciousness.

Akira Nijo was still prostrate there, and the heavy breathing of the Emperor Mashinachi behind the screen indicated that His Majesty's illness was as heavy as his heart.

A Neiji of the Tosa family saw that all the warriors did not speak, so he wanted to speak up, and the front guard, who was sitting at the head of the crowd, said generously:

"In Japan and China, the following is a fool's errand. If the small matters are big, there will be some, and if the ministers serve the king, they will not be."

"Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, our country has been very small, and the great Muhan has been sealed. This is not a taboo! The Sui Emperor of China wrote to me: The emperor asked the Japanese emperor to say goodbye. This is enough to prove the words of the neighboring countries. Go. Occasionally send an envoy to write a letter, or go away because of the ceremony."

Speaking of this, Konwei Qianjiu's voice suddenly rose an octave: "With the strength of Yuan, he went on an expedition across the sea, and was destroyed at one time. Ming Cheng's ancestral tree monument, Shou'an, was the mountain of the town, and he named Ashikaga Yoshimitsu as king, but he didn't know it. He is his general. Although the righteous man claims to be a subject and pays tribute, it is a pirate in Japan—now Wanli is a sly boy who exaggerates himself and regards Japan as a vassal state, so he will ask him, in fact, when did Japan ever belong to the Ming Kingdom?”

This generous statement was justified and well-founded, but the pretty wink was shown to the blind, and all the martial artists in the audience knew that reasoning could not explain it to the Ming army who was advancing.What was left for Konoe for a long time was still an embarrassing silence.

The Shimadzu family of Satsuma Domain is in Kyushu with Ling Yun Yixu and Wei She, and is tortured to death by Ling Yunyi's various logistical supply requirements.Therefore, the head of the family, Yoshihisa Shimazu, did not come to the meeting and sent his younger brother, Yoshihiro Shimazu, as the representative of the head of the family.Seeing that all the martial artists were silent, he hurriedly asked: "I don't know if the Ming army is here. Apart from questioning His Majesty, do you have any other requirements? Also, since he is coming to issue the decree, why did he take a long way to go to Kyushu first?"

After speaking, Nijo Zhaoliang, who had been lying on the folded seat like a toad, finally got a voice from the Wu family, and hurriedly straightened up and replied: "His Royal Highness, why did the Ming army land in Kyushu, I don't know the reason. As for your question. One question, I couldn’t confirm it before the Ming Emperor’s edict was issued. But what I said today was said by the imperial envoy Ling Yunyi and the city lord Matsuura Zhenxin after the Ming army entered Hirado. He also said—”

Yuchai Hideyoshi finally spoke up and interjected, "What did he say?"

Ertiao Zhaoliang said: "Ling Yunyi said, 'In the fourth year of the Hongwu Dynasty, Japan sent an envoy to pay tribute to the monk ancestor. Seven years later, he came back, but he was rejected without a letter. When he came back in 35 years, he ordered the tribute period to be ten years One tribute. The division between Japan and the Daming vassals is settled.'”

When Erjo Zhaoliang said this, he took out the letter from Matsuura Town to him and read: "Afterwards, Chengzu's successor ascended to the great treasure, Japan or two or three years, or five or six years. , the Swallow Rewards are generous. The imperial court treats Japan well!'"

"'In the second year of Jiajing, when the Japanese sent their ministers to hold the righteous virtues, they were able to join the Ningbo Ship Division. The messenger Song Suqing, Zong She, Qian Dao and others slandered each other. Zong She killed Song Suqing with swords and guns. Burning and looting, Ningbo was slaughtered!'"

"'After that, Japanese Japanese pirates violated the border for many years, and the Chinese fat was burned and looted. "

He let out a long breath, and Erjo Zhaoliang lay there like a toad again, not daring to look at the faces of everyone present.

The Wu family present were stunned when they heard Erjo Zhaoliang's retelling of Ling Yunyi's words.After a long time, the guard's heart was broken, and he almost roared: "In the past, the Ouchi family and the Hosokawa family committed crimes, why should your majesty be responsible?! Those who plundered China were all pirates and ronin, your majesty. Why have you ever enjoyed a piece of paper? Great God, open your eyes! Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Konoe Qianlong, a diplomat who was fighting between the lords of the Warring States Period, did not know whether he was really as loyal to the monarch as he had shown, but the sound of his roar was already accompanied by a cry, which made the public and Wu families in the audience feel close.

The Emperor Masakin-cho behind the screen did not make a sound, and his breathing was no longer heavy, and the ministers could not hear it clearly.Ichigo, worried that something was wrong with him, glanced behind the screen with his head, and then retracted his head again - it seemed that the Emperor was not a problem.

Yuchai Hideyoshi made a snort in his nose, as if to express contempt for Konoe's long-awaited performance.He said coldly, "I don't know if Your Majesty doesn't give him an explanation. What does Ling Yunyi want to do?"

Erjo Zhaoliang's prostrate body moved again, lying there and buzzing: "The Matsuura family also asked Ling Yunyi, and he said he would bring troops to the capital. Anyway, he is also here to issue a decree to His Majesty."

A flush appeared on Yuchai Hideyoshi's face, and the two mustaches that looked like commas were slightly raised, and he said loudly: "It turns out that Ling Yunyi traveled all the way to Japan to go to Luo, which is really ridiculous, haha, Ha ha!"

Ling Yunyi's coming to Shangluo was indeed the biggest joke in Japan after the Warring States History began, and there was a wry smile on the faces of the warriors present.Ikeda Hengxing saw that his ally was a little out of tune, and couldn't help but reminded: "Sir, the Ming army destroyed Burma in the first battle, and Mang Yinglong's head is in a different place - it is not a match."

Hashiba Hideyoshi straightened his monkey-like body, and proudly said: "Warriors present here, the combined forces are at least 50. If 50 is against [-], is there any reason to lose?"

Niwa Nagahide sighed after hearing the words: "Who will join forces? Who is the leader of the alliance?" One sentence made Yuchai Hideyoshi speechless.Immediately, his eyes turned red, staring at Shibata Katsuya and Tokugawa Ieyasu, as if he was going to eat them.

Tokugawa Ieyasu lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking.Shibata Katsuya retorted: "Master Kinoshita has a prosperous martial arts, and owns the land of fifteen countries, why not raise troops to fight the Ming army to the death? I can swear in front of Your Majesty that when you fight against the Ming army, you will not take any part of you. Cheap."

When Yuchai Hideyoshi heard Shibata Katsuya calling him Kinoshita, his eyes seemed to spew out fire. If his eyes could be turned into reality, Shibata Katsuya would have already become a pile of ashes.

Niyu Changxiu suddenly burst into tears and said, "If Lord Nobunaga is still alive, how can Ming prisoners deceive me? Lord Nobunaga has already set the storage seat, and it is His Highness Xinzhong. Since His Highness Xinzhong and His Highness the Three Masters have passed away, His Highness Xiujie is still alive. Of course, I am the co-owner."

Yuchai Hideyoshi interrupted him and said, "You don't need to say anything more, Mr. Changxiu, you have already spoken to the end at the Cheongju meeting." Tokugawa Ieyasu, who had been counting ants with his head down, said, "In the battle of Xiaomushan, you and I have yet to win or lose. The points, His Highness Nobuo also has unfinished intentions - what do you say today?"

Tokugawa Ieyasu raised his head with tears in his eyes, which surprised Hideyoshi Hideyoshi.I heard Tokugawa Ieyasu choked and said: "Your Majesty is our master, and now he is humiliated and captured by the Ming Dynasty, how can the Tokugawa family harm the state affairs for selfishness? If the Senator is willing to take the lead to resist the Ming army, I would like to take Yu Yiwan as a pledge. Obey your orders!"

After saying these words, Yuchai Hideyoshi was speechless and froze for a while.All the martial artists in the room sucked in a breath of cold air, Tokugawa Ieyasu's words can be said to be earth-shattering! [Note 1]
Yuchai Hideyoshi involuntarily looked down the steps outside the house, looking for the figure of Kuroda Takataka in the entourage, and then remembered that Kuroda Takataka, who had been in bad health after the assassination, was left at the Omi guard house by him. Judge Tokugawa Ieyasu's intentions for yourself.

Shibata Katsuya's face changed, and he glanced at Oda Shintaka.Seeing that Oda Nobuyoshi was still in a dazed state, he opened his mouth and was speechless.Shibata Katsuya also lowered his head and made a quick calculation in his heart.

Nijo Zhaoliang, who had been lying on the toad, didn't know when to straighten up, and praised loudly: "His Royal Highness Tokugawa is worthy of being a model of the warrior family, His Majesty's loyalty to the monarch must be sincerely admired, Your Highness Shibata, what do you think?"

Oda Nobuyoshi finally regained his senses at this time, and hurriedly stopped Shibata Katsuya's words and said: "We have only five countries in our territory, and it is difficult to defend the territory, so I dare not be brave - I only wish His Royal Highness Yuchai a prosperous and prosperous martial arts and success!"

Before Yuchai Hideyoshi could refute it, Shimazu Yoshihiro, who was extremely anxious in his heart, said quickly, "If His Royal Highness Yuchai joins the various armies, the Shimadzu family is also willing to attach his tail!"

　[Note 1]: Tokugawa Ieyasu surrendered to Hideyoshi Hideyoshi due to strategic considerations in December of the year of the battle of Komaki Nagatore.
