After Xia Xun and his entourage hit Kyoto, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu graciously invited the two to live in Kitayama Hall, because since Ashikaga Yoshimitsu became a monk, it has become the real political center of today's "Japan", and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's government affairs are handled there.

However, Xia Xun refused Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's request and asked to live in Kyoto Castle, on the grounds that as soon as he returned to Nichimoto for the first time, he had always been very yearning for Toei Fuso, hoping to see the local characters of his country nearby, and Kitayama was the residence of His Excellency the Shogun, which was heavily guarded and could not see too many customs and customs.

The envoys of the Ming Dynasty were so interested in the "day", as the ruler of the army, Zumi Yoshimitsu also felt that his face was bright, so he happily agreed to Xia Xun's request, and arranged them to the palace of Huā, which was the residence when he was not a monk, and now it is the residence of his son Ashikaga Yoshimori, the general of Seiyi, and his family also lived here.

When Xia Xun and his entourage came to the palace of Huā, Ashikaga Yoshimori, who had already received the news, immediately greeted him in person and respectfully welcomed the return of the Great Envoy and his father. In order to control the power of the temple, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu gave up the position of the shogun to his son as early as ten years ago, and became a monk himself. However, he, a monk, is as rich as ever, and his power is firmly in his own hands, and his son Yizhi has no actual power.

Today, Yoshichi is a nineteen-year-old young man, and in terms of demeanor, he knows his father a little, but after all, he is a young man, and he is more vigorous. Xia Xun found that although this Ashikaga Yoshinori was respectful to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and them, it was very problematic, he saw that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was not as close as the average son when he saw his father, and he and Zheng He were only ceremonial respect, it can be seen from his eyes that he was different from his father, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is indeed close and admired from the heart to the Central Plains culture and characters, and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is under the surface of respect, faintly wary and a little disgusted, he is still young, This kind of "real" mentality can't be perfectly concealed, maybe ...... He didn't even think to hide it.

Xia Xun immediately paid attention to him, he was the son of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the person who would be in charge of the government of the "Japan" in the future, and whether the "Japan" could continue to be Huace, this person was very important. Xia Xun didn't know the history of Japan, if he knew that the young man in front of him, as soon as he was in power, immediately stopped trade with China, immediately stopped being a vassal, and encouraged the Kou to plunder the country, then he would now regard this young general as an opponent, but he didn't know it at the moment.

However, Xia Xun found that when Ashikaga Yoshimitsu went to meet them in Settsu Hyogo, the minister who reluctantly knelt down to greet them had a very close relationship with the young general of Zhengyi.

He immediately instructed He Tianyang to turn around and take advantage of the opportunity of "seeing the customs and ......customs of Japan" to quickly get in touch with his local spies and find out the details of this minister and the general of Zhengyi, who was not currently in power, mainly their political tendencies.

The tedious reception came to an end, Xia Xun and Zheng He were settled down, first bathed in fragrant soup, and shì waited for a change of clothes.

The two of them were each invited into a delicately designed and meticulous bath room, and then several gentle and beautiful girls were sent in to wait for the two to bathe, and after a moment of effort, they were sent out by the two. Zheng He is physically defective and does not want to be looked at, Xia Xun is worried about what kind of ugliness, physiological reactions are sometimes involuntary, he is a man who is light and strong this year, and he has let a few young girls who are light and beautiful come and go on him...... "He doesn't want to be a pillar of optimism in front of a woman who is not his own woman."

After a brief bath, a change of crown clothes, and then they were invited into the banquet hall, which was decorated with huā, and began to dine with Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and the ministers, and enjoy the song and dance of the "day", and when it was all over, Xia Xun and Zheng He, who were slightly drunk, were invited into an elegantly furnished room. The style of the room is very elegant, and the whole lattice wood wall softens the sunlight and spills over the whole room, which is very bright.

On the wall, there are several paintings and calligraphy with elegant colors such as pine, bamboo, plum and crane, as well as several calligraphy panels of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing in Chinese characters. There is a long line of cases on the floor, and there are pomp balls next to them...... In the middle of several cases, there are blooming fresh huā, and the thin and smooth porcelain cups of the Dingyao are filled with pale green sè and fragrant tea.

Everyone sat down in turn, and Xia Xun and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu sat on the middle of the pu ball, just facing each other. On the left and right are ministers and deputy envoys of both sides. Xia Xun first briefly informed the other party of the Ming Emperor's agreement to reopen trade, and Zheng He stated some detailed matters, and the clerk wrote the side to record the minutes of the negotiations between the two sides.

In fact, these contents have been sent back by Zua and Hitomi before returning to China, and the people on Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's side already know about it, but this point must be officially confirmed by the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, so the content of this stage is only a process of statement, and there is no disagreement between the two sides.

When all this is over, it is time to talk about joining forces to chop the gods, and at this time, the ministers of the public samurai family under the self-sufficient Yoshimitsu have all come out of the gods who are serious about their actions.

"Regarding the matter of joining forces to encircle and suppress the pirates, since the pirates of Inu Mingma only returned to their extermination in the [Japan] through the egg, we need your support to secretly join forces!"

Xia Xun said loudly: "Pirates are not good for the Ming Dynasty, and it is not good for Japan, especially now that we have established trade relations, they have become our common enemy!" His Majesty the Emperor was very pleased with the fact that His Majesty had allowed the Ming Fleet to borrow the harbor wharf of the Japanese to anchor, rest, and replenish supplies, and to send the Japanese army to assist us in stopping the war. ”

"Your Excellency, since the two countries and the two armies are jointly suppressing the bandits, I want to know, who is in charge, who is secondary, who will decide, and who will command?"

It was the general who was reluctant to bow down in Settsu Hyogo, Xia Xun glanced at him and asked, "This is ......?"

The man put his hands on his knees, shook his head heavily, and said, "The contemptible general is under the command of the general, and he is in charge of the position. ”

"Sure enough, he is one of the three leaders, and he is the head of the three leaders, the most powerful number one general under Ashikaga Yoshimitsu."

Xia Xun quickly searched for the information he already had about this righteous general, and replied: "The pirates are now stealing on the island of Japan, whether they are breaking through, escaping, or escaping ashore, they will involve many aspects, and the bandits should naturally be based on the Japanese capital, and His Majesty the King should be in charge of the overall situation. Not entering......

Xia Xun's tone changed, and he said: "However, this is a war, there are always some emergencies and uncertain things that are not in our grasp in the war, and if you blindly wait for instructions and orders, the fighter will be delayed." Therefore, officials who are unable to command in time should be given full power and cheapness, according to what we say there, this is called, the general is outside, and the king's order is not subject to it!.

In the case of his country's official visit to Japan to discuss the issue of joint banditry, it is inconvenient to go back and forth, and it can take several months for a piece of news to be transmitted. Therefore, after His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty made basic requirements for me, he authorized me to do things cheaply. ”

He looked at General Si Bō and said, "Lord Guan is a person who has led troops and fought in battles, and he should know that the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is impossible to grasp everything in advance, so I think that the plan and coordinated operation of the bandit should be made by His Majesty the Ancient King to make the highest decision, but in terms of specific implementation, in order to better combat the bandits, the army should be given full autonomy." Why did the national prince go all the way to the East? We are here to reconcile and seek common ground while reserving differences! ”

Si Bō Yifang faintly felt that something was wrong, they had always been accustomed to giving Daming a hat, giving a high hat, in exchange for many practical benefits, but in front of him, this auxiliary prince seemed to be the same as them, he was also buttoning a high hat for them, and giving His Excellency the general a high hat to control the overall situation, and the actual autonomy was still in the hands of the Daming Water Master.

The so-called situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and if they are given full autonomy, isn't it just to let them do whatever they want? They want to fight at sea, yes; If you want to go ashore to chase down the bandits, you can; It's okay to react in any way when the battle is about to go, anyway, it's 'going to be the king's order to be outside', no matter what leaks they poke or what they do, as long as these two angels sit down with His Excellency the General afterwards and 'reconcile in the middle and seek to reside differences, how can this be?

Just as he was about to object, Ashikaga Yoshi's eyes flashed slightly, and he already smiled and said, "I agree!" ”

"This righteous general is hostile to us!"

"This Ashikaga Yoshimitsu has a very eccentric attitude!"

The two sides held talks on many aspects of the suppression of bandits, some of which were finalized on the spot, and some of which needed further communication.

Nearly in the evening, both sides were a little tired, and at Xia Xun's initiative, the negotiations were suspended, and the two sides rested, and then the talks ended.

As soon as they returned to the residence where they were completely stationed and defended by their own people, Xia Xun and Zheng He coincidentally expressed their opinions to each other.

Zheng Heqi said: "What's strange about Ashikaga Yoshimitsu? ”

Xia Xun shook his head and said, "It's just a feeling, a very strange feeling."

I sat across from him, and I didn't ignore his demeanor, including every look, and I felt ...... It's as if he's deliberately pampering us. ”

"Pampering us?"

"Yes, indulge us and the Sbō Yi will go toe-to-toe."

Zheng He was stunned, and said with a smile: "No, the prince of the country is afraid that he is suspicious, if he is a courtier of the [Ri] Ben, he may even betray the lord to seek glory." But he is the monarch of the Japanese capital, how can he, as a monarch, betray his own interests and betray his loyal courtiers? ”

Xia Xun smiled and said, "How does my father-in-law know what he wants to sell and not fight for?" And how do you know that what the righteous general has done is to be determined to be loyal to him? ”

Xia Xun said with a deep gaze: "He Tianyang, go shopping, go, and when he comes back, maybe he will bring the answer we want." ”。 I've slept less in the past two days, and I have a terrible headache, so I'll go and rest, and the two watches are over today. I owe a change on the first day of the new year, and when I wake up, I will give it to you, and ask for monthly tickets and recommended tickets to support! @。
