Seven days later, when the emperor's new clothes were ready, he sent someone to tell Yamashina that he could prepare for Yoshicho and Masahu to come and meet him.

In the past few days, Yamako Yan has been delaying them for a long time, and everything that should be taught has already been taught, and finally he prevaricated with the need for preparation on the side of the palace.

Now that Yamashina Yanji got the news, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He immediately ran to tell Yoshicho and Masato, and told them to prepare to meet the emperor the next day.

For this reason, Zhenghu hurriedly asked people to help him bathe and incense, and also recited Buddhist scriptures for a long time. Naturally, Yoshichang should follow suit.

It's finally time to meet the emperor.,Before dawn.,Yoshicho was woken up by the small surname.,This time there is only one little surname who follows Yoshicho out.,That's Sanada Yutakaka's second son, Tokujiro.。

The earliest one to rise up was Zhenghu, and at this time Zhenghu had already dressed up as a minister, that is, he had shaved his eyebrows, his face was painted white, and his teeth were blackened.

Of course, Yoshicho is still the same as he was, after all, he doesn't like the appearance of the minister.

After dawn, Yamashina Yanji came, and he led Yoshicho and Masahu to the palace, which has been slightly renovated and is no longer as dilapidated as before.

And today I specially brought in samurai to decorate the façade, otherwise, the sons of the princess's family would play the role of guards.

Most of the pavilions and pavilions that they walked in along the way were very old, but the floors were freshly waxed, and they only arrived at the main hall where the emperor was located.

Heianjing was originally built in imitation of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty, a small version of Chang'an, and the imperial palace was also built in imitation of the imperial palace of the Tang Dynasty, of course, it also incorporated a lot of its own style.

After they arrived at the main hall, Yamashina Yanji took the lead in entering and bowed to the emperor, and then there was a roll call, and Yoshicho and Masato entered the main hall.

In the main hall, the ministers were already sitting on the left and right, and Yoshicho and Zhenghu hurriedly stepped forward to kneel and worship the emperor.

The emperor sat above, separated by a bamboo curtain, and Yoshicho raised his head slightly, only to see a vague shadow behind the bamboo curtain.

"Aiqing is flat." The emperor's voice was very gentle, "I already know the loyalty of the two Aiqing, and it is really a blessing for the court to have loyal ministers like you." ”

Zhenghu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty's words really make your subordinates sincerely afraid, these things are what ministers should do, and they should not be praised so much by Your Majesty." ”

Yichang also hurriedly said modestly: "The minister heard about His Majesty's reputation, and he unconsciously wanted to serve the court, which all depends on His Majesty's virtue."

In today's troubled times, His Majesty's kindness is still needed, and His Majesty and Danzheng Shaobi are willing to contribute to the court to cleanse the night! ”

The emperor was greatly moved when he heard this, and for many years, it was the first time he had seen such a loyal courtier since the Ouchi family, and the emperor was really moved.

He said to the waiter next to him with some excitement: "Quickly lift the curtain and let me take a good look at the two Aiqing!" ”

The waiter hurriedly stepped forward and pulled up the curtain, and Yoshicho and Masahu could see the emperor's appearance clearly.

The emperor was short, about 1.4 meters long, and his face was thin and his body was so thin that it was difficult to cover his clothes.

And after many years of suffering, plus the shogunate and the daimyo basically didn't take the emperor seriously, the emperor didn't have any domineering spirit, and his majestic face looked like an ordinary person.

Of course, this is for Yoshinaga, and the emperor is this image.

But for Zhenghu, he can see the appearance of the emperor, this is a great kindness, and his trip is worth it.

So Zhenghu left tears of emotion, and said: "Your Majesty can see His Majesty's face in this life, and I have no regrets about this trip!"

Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Your Majesty will definitely calm down this troubled world! ”

When the Emperor heard this, whether it was true or not, he was very happy, and he immediately asked the deceased to read the decree, and yesterday they had already discussed what to give.

For Yoshicho and Masato, the five positions are already top-notch, don't look at the shogun is really in charge of the entire country, but the shogun's official position in the court is not necessarily very high.

For example, Ashikaga Yoshiki is only the fourth one, so do Yoshicho and Masato dare to rise? As soon as you go up, aren't you just running for the position of the deputy shogun of the shogunate?

Therefore, in terms of official positions, the imperial court still has to take care of the feelings of the shogunate, so the official positions of Yoshicho and Masaho have not been promoted.

However, when Konoe and the others were discussing, Yamashina Yan knew a little more here, so he said some things.

Therefore, Konoe also knew that Masato and Yoshicho were dealing with Kai Takeda and Sagami Hojo, and Kai Takeda took the initiative to invade Shinano, and Hojo defeated the Kanto governor Uesugi Kenmasa, and then threatened Echigo.

For Konoe Qianjiu, it doesn't matter what Kai Takeda, or Sagami Hojo, it's not right to beat Yoshicho and Masato, and if you beat the loyal ministers of the court, then you are traitors.

Therefore, Konoe proposed a long time ago to give Masato a reason to send troops and grant Masato the title of righteousness.

As for Yoshinaga, they didn't make a decision at first, but Yamashina said that there was Hishu around Shinano, the guardian Kyogoku family was destroyed, the Koji family, the sister of the national secretary, was also in danger, and the Toki clan, the guardian of Mino, also lost the country.

The meaning of Yamashina Yanji and them is also obvious, but Yamashina Yanji continued: "If Ogasawara Daizen takes Mino and joins Minong's Toki clan to go to Luo, plus Uesugi Danzheng Shaobi, so lead troops to Shangluo, then the Miyoshi family will have to leave here."

Moreover, Doctor Dashan and Danzheng Shaobi are so loyal to the imperial court, we must help. ”

As soon as Yamashina said this, the ministers were very happy, and they suddenly felt that their emotions were agitated.

Therefore, the holy decree of the imperial court was to give the righteous chief and the political tiger the ability to independently crusade against the surrounding non-subordinate people, without the need to report to the imperial court, and at the same time gave the righteous chief and the political tiger the heavenly cup and the imperial sword.

Both Yoshinaga and Masako were excited, Yoshinaga was excited because he got what he wanted, and Masanatora was happy because he received the important rules from the emperor.

Zhenghu lowered his head, raised his hands high and took the Heavenly Cup and the Imperial Sword, and then said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Your Majesty will definitely calm down this troubled world as soon as possible, so that this day will be quiet before the Dao." ”

Yi Chang faked his attitude, and in his heart he was: Hahaha, Lao Tzu can finally expand unscrupulously!

This time the visit can be said to be a great joy, after Zhenghu returned to the courtyard, he couldn't stop laughing, and pulled Yoshicho to talk about his future thoughts.

Yoshicho could only echo him.

After the two chatted for a long time, Konoe Maehisa and Yamashina Yan came together.

Konoe Qianjiu's expression was solemn, and Yamashina Yanji looked to see if there was anyone around, and when Yamashina Yanji came back, Konoe Qianjiu approached Yoshicho and Zhenghu and said softly: "Doctor Dashan, Danzheng Shaobi, the task of the two of you is very heavy."

Now that Miyoshi Settsumori is in control of Gyeonggi, even His Royal Highness is now being oppressed by the retainers of the Miyoshi family.

Namatsu Yongxiu is really unscrupulous, and I don't know if it's the meaning of the Miyoshi family or his own will.

You two, you should understand that His Majesty the Emperor has given you the name of the Heavenly Cup Imperial Sword and the crusade against rebellion, in fact, he hopes that Dr. Daizen can take down Mino... Oh, it's to help the Toki clan restore the country.

Then the two of you can enter the Omi and Iga areas through Mino to reach King Gyeonggi Raegun. ”

Hearing this, Zhenghu looked at Yoshicho and said, "Yoshicho, Mino borders on your Shinano, and you will need to contribute at that time, but don't worry, I will definitely send troops to help." ”

Yoshicho nodded and said, "Now, it's not a question of whether you want to fight or not, but whether you can fight." Of course, this is not a prevarication, but Shinano still has Kai Takeda in the country, and it cannot be moved lightly.

Now the Triple Alliance, if you send troops to fight Kai Takeda, the Hojo and Imagawa families will also send troops, and if they join forces, it's okay, but I'm afraid that Takeda Imagawa will go all the way, and the Hojo family will go all the way.

In this way, it is necessary to face the Takeda Imagawa family alone, and Danmasa Shaobi faces the Hojo family.

If you want to break this situation, you need His Royal Highness the Kanto Governor to hand over the convening of the Kwantung countries to the political tiger, then the political tiger can gather the people of the eight countries of the Kanto region to besiege Hojo.

Let's settle the Hojo family first, so that we can crack the Triple Alliance, and thus solve the matter of my Shinano. ”

Hearing this, Zhenghu nodded and said: "In this way, it is indeed possible, as for His Royal Highness the Steward, he has decided to accept him as his adopted son and entrust the position of the Consul." Then after the next return, I will prepare to crusade against the Hojo family! ”

Yoshicho was happy in his heart, so according to the plan, he would kill Hojo first next year.

Konoe Maehisa and Yamashina Kenji were also very happy to see that Yoshicho and Masako were able to cooperate sincerely, thinking that in a few years, there would be a huge force on King Luoqin.

At that time, the prestige of the imperial court will rise, and their good days will come.

Konoe Maehisa praised Yoshicho and Masatora greatly, and then ran to the palace with Yamashina Yanji, and they were going to tell the emperor a great news.

In this way, the matter of visiting the emperor has come to an end, and Yoshicho said to Masatoka, "Masatoka, tomorrow we should also send someone to visit His Royal Highness." ”

Zhenghu nodded and said, "This is a proper gift." ”

Yoshicho asked, "Masato has already given all the money to the Emperor, but what about His Royal Highness?" ”

Zhenghu smiled calmly: "A long time ago, I have already sent people to raise money in Xia, and in this land of Gyeonggi, there are still familiar businessmen in Xia, borrow a sum first, and then pay it back when I go back." ”

Yoshicho's side originally planned that if Zhenghu had no money, he could send someone to find Tennoji House to get it, but unfortunately, Zhenghu had thought of it a long time ago.

Early the next morning, Yoshicho and Masanatora, who had cleaned up, hurried to the palace of Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru.

After the two sides met, Ashikaga Yoshito asked Yoshinaga and Masatoka about the troops in the territory.

Yoshicho knew Ashikaga Yoshito's thoughts, so he said, "More than a month ago, I fought with the Saito family in Mino, the Takeda family in Kai, and the Imagawa family in Suruga in Chikumo-gun.

Therefore, if you want to lead your troops to Gyeonggi, you must occupy Minon, otherwise, Mido Michizo, the guardian of Mino Province, will definitely not give way. ”

Ashikaga Yoshito did not blame, but asked him about the battle with Masahu and the three coalition forces, and Yoshicho said it in great detail.

After Ashikaga Yoshito and his retainers heard this, they couldn't help but sigh again and again, especially when they heard that Yoshicho's wife and concubine actually led the troops to defend Ueda Castle, which made everyone praise.

After all, the matter of Ba Yuqian is a familiar story for them, and they also admire such a woman who can fight.

Then they chatted for a while, and Yichang and Zhenghu offered gifts at the right time.

The amount of this gift money was not as much as that given to the shogunate, Masako gave 3,000 kan, and Yoshicho only gave 2,000 kan, but this is also a huge amount of money.

Ashikaga Yoshito also said this, and immediately gave the famous sword to Yoshicho and Masato, and then chatted for a while and then dispersed.

Yoshicho and Masahu left the palace without staying long, but Nobumoto Iizuna, who was beside Yoshinaga, returned to the palace behind his back.

Iizuna Nobumoto took Yoshinaga's mission to find Mibuchi Fujiei, who is currently Ashikaga Yoshito's confidant and the person the general values the most.

Mibuchi Fujiying returned to his room, only to see a person in the corner, and directly drew his knife.

Iizuna Nobumoto hurriedly said: "Sanyuan Palace, please stop, the lord below is Shinano guarding." ”

When Mibuchi Fujiei heard this, he hesitated for a moment, Yoshicho had just left, why did he send someone to meet him secretly?

So he was still a little skeptical.

Iizuna Nobugen took out a letter from his arms, put it on the ground, handed it forward for a distance, and then said: "My lord wants to talk to the Sanyuan Hall about the iron cannon, and before, my lord had people fund fifty iron cannons in the Sanyuan Palace. ”

Mibuchi Fujiei was shocked when he heard about the iron cannon, but he was also sure that this person was not sent by Matsunaga Shu.

Mibuchi Fujiei put away his saber, then picked up the letter on the ground, walked to the main guard and sat down, and then read the letter.

After reading the letter, Mibuchi Fuji Hidecai said: "Ogasawara Shinano Mamoru is really a pillar of the samurai family, and he still looked down on Shinano Mamoru before he went down. ”

Iizuna Nobuyuan hurriedly said: "My lord said that he doesn't value a false name very much, and the most important thing is to be able to help His Royal Highness." ”

Mibuchi Fujiei nodded and said: "Please rest assured Ogasawara Shinano, His Highness will never forget his contribution, and when the Miyoshi family is driven away in the future, the position of this leader must be left to Ogasawara Shinano." ”

Izuna Xinyuan hurriedly shook his head and said: "Sanyuan Hall is serious, my lord is doing this for the sake of righteousness, not for official position.

Sanyuan Palace, a new batch of iron cannons has arrived in Sakai Port, when the time comes, please send someone to hand over the Sanyuan Palace, this time in the iron cannons, there are new big iron cannons, extremely powerful, I hope that the Sanyuan Hall will be protected, don't let Matsunaga Xiu find out.

It is inconvenient to stay here for too long, and if it is discovered by the people of the Miyoshi family, it will be detrimental to His Royal Highness. ”

Mibuchi Fujiei nodded and personally sent Iizuna Nobugen away.
