Chapter 103: In Kyoto

Ashikaga Yoshimasa held a grand ceremony to announce his return to Kyoto.

Daimyo from all over the world, whether they wanted to or not, came here to celebrate the return of the shogun.

Ashikaga Yoshimasa seemed to forget for a while that the Ming army was still stationed in Kyoto. For a while, he was obsessed with constant political activities.

At this moment, he has a love-hate mind for the Ming army.

Love, if there is no such a powerful army, where would the daimyo in various places be so obedient. You must know that after Ashikaga Yoshimasa ascended to the throne, he intrigued with the major names.

This may be a birth defect of the Ashikaga shogunate, which was a family alliance respected by the Ashikaga family from the beginning. The Ashikaga family doesn't have complete control.

This is the case from the very beginning, and the generals behind can only face the end of power leaking out of their hands little by little.

Hate, Ashikaga Yoshimasa, as the de facto controller of Japan, actually did not want to have a strong army stationed near Kyoto.

But now Ashikaga Yoshimasa is powerless.

This one thing can only be suppressed in the mind.

The snow in Kyoto seems to come a little early.

Ashikaga Yoshimasa stepped on the light snow and came to a room.

Ashikaga Yoshishi is under house arrest here.

During the house arrest period, Ashikaga Yoshishi did not make any drastic moves, but read Buddhist scriptures in the room in peace.

Ashikaga Yoshimasa met Ashikaga Yoshishi, and the two brothers looked at each other for a long time.

If Ashikaga Yoshimasa has no feelings for Ashikaga Yoshimasa, it is also false, otherwise why would Ashikaga Yoshimasa choose Ashikaga Yoshimasa as his heir when he has no heir.

Ashikaga Yoshimasa was not without other options.

It's just that things have come to this day step by step, and sometimes it can only be said that the world makes people.

Ashikaga Yoshimasa didn't feel like he had done anything wrong, and Ashikaga Yoshimi didn't feel like he had done anything wrong.

After a while, Ashikaga Yoshimi said, "Is my brother here to see me off?" ”

Ashikaga Yoshimasa sighed and said, "I thought about making you a monk, but I didn't work. ”

Ashikaga Yoshimasa really thought about this matter.

It's just that Ashikaga Yoshimasa knew very well that although he returned to Kyoto, the war was not over, although the Hosokawa family was hit hard, and a lot of territory was ceded and weakened.

But at this moment, ask who is the first family in Japan, it is still the Hosokawa family, and the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff.

And Ashikaga Yoshimasa also knew that he couldn't always rely on the Ming Dynasty to fight, and he also had to rebuild his imperial family, that is, the armed forces directly under the shogunate, and he didn't want to see it again, the power in the hands of the shogun was not as good as the daimyo below.

This is also the reason why Ashikaga Yoshimasa deliberately kept the Ming army for a while.

After the withdrawal of the Ming army from Japan, whether it was the Hosokawa family who was not convinced, or the reinvigorated shogunate

flags, and the contradictions of each family.

There was no suppression by the Ming army.

All kinds of wars are going to happen.

In this situation, Ashikaga Yoshimasa must not tolerate Ashikaga Yoshika, otherwise the disunity within the Ashikaga family will be easy to be taken advantage of.

Ashikaga Yoshimi must pay for what he has done.

Ashikaga Yoshimi had long anticipated the situation he was going to face, and smiled indifferently, and there seemed to be a bit of Zen in his smile, and said: "I have been waiting for this day, but before I die, there are two things. ”

Ashikaga Yoshimasa said, "Say it. ”

Ashikaga Yoshishi said, "My family is small. ”

Ashikaga Yoshimasa said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it." ”

In the original history, Ashikaga Yoshimasa exiled Ashikaga Yoshimi and treated his daughter as a Jew.

In ancient China, Yuzi was another name for nephew, but in Japan it is similar to Yizi, who has the right to inherit and does not have to change his surname, and is regarded as a relative of his son.

The family of Ashikaga Yoshishi can be considered quite good.

Ashikaga Yoshishi said: "People are about to die, their words are also good, my brother relied on the Ming Dynasty to turn defeat into victory, but the Ming Dynasty is also a tiger, and the tiger is to eat people." ”

Ashikaga Yoshimasa said, "Don't worry, I'll pay attention." ”

Ashikaga Yoshishi said, "So please ask my brother to cut it wrong." ”

Ashikaga Yoshimasa looked at Ashikaga Yoshishi's eyes, and suddenly there was a hint of avoidance, and said to Ise Sadakin, who was beside him, "Come on." ”

Then Ashikaga Yoshimasa walked out and closed the white paper door.

But he heard the sound of the knife drawn inside, the sound of heavy breathing, and then Ashikaga Yoshimi shouted, the sound of the long knife entering the flesh, and then the sound of the long knife coming out of the sheath. A stream of blood spurted on the white paper door, rendering a large area of blood, as if it were a flame.

A moment later, Ise walked out of it.

Ashikaga Yoshimasa saw the blood stains on Isesada's body, sighed, and wanted to say something, but he didn't say it, just sighed at the first snow.

At this time, a small surname came over with the first snow, knelt in the snow, and said: "General, the Ming army has changed. ”

Ashikaga Yoshimasa was taken aback and said, "What happened?" ”

"The Ming army occupies the imperial palace."

"What?" Ashikaga Yoshimasa was taken aback.

The Imperial Palace is the palace of the Emperor of Japan.

Ashikaga Yoshimasa doesn't know, what is Wang Ying doing this for? But he knew he had to react to it.

Ashikaga Yoshimasa immediately said: "Order all ministries and ministries to dispatch immediately to the imperial palace. Remember not to clash with the Ming army. ”

Immediately Ashikaga Yoshimasa hurried away, thinking in the direction of the imperial palace.

At the moment, the snow seems to be falling a little heavier.

Wang Ying stood in front of the palace and frowned slightly.

Ashikaga Yoshimasa

Naturally, he knew that the emperor had committed the taboo of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the existence of the emperor is vague, and Wang Ying does not know.

He only knew where the emperor was, but he never came.

Wang Ying, as a general of the Ming Dynasty, could not come to meet the Japanese emperor.

At this moment, I was disappointed.

I thought the emperor of Japan was such a big name. The place where you live, even if it is not as good as a feudal palace in the Ming Dynasty, you have to talk like it.

But don't want to know what this place is?

If such a person swears that this is the palace, in Wang Ying's opinion, it is almost a deserted mansion.

All kinds of ruins and broken walls, not even guards. Empty and almost undefended.

Wang Ying didn't know that when it came to the Emperor of Japan, now the Emperor of Japan's Houtu Gomon, he can be said to be the unlucky among the unlucky eggs.

This Japanese emperor is only in his twenties.

He has only been on the throne for a few years, and the environment in which he grew up is not bad. At least the shogunate still had considerable power, and the emperor's life was still guaranteed.

But historically, after the Onin Rebellion, the shogunate lost power, let alone the emperor.

This Emperor Goto Gomon wanted to abdicate five times in his life and was displaced. stayed in the general's mansion for a long time, and what is even more pitiful is that after his death, because he had no money, he was not buried for forty-three years.

It would be a matter if Emperor Goto Gomon was born in such a poor environment from the beginning. He's not. His life was a bottomless downward line.

The ashes are also said to be buried in two places.

Even death could not stop his situation.

Now he is facing a major turning point in his life.

In the Battle of Kyoto, most of Kyoto was burned. Including the Imperial Palace.

He had to live in the General's Palace. Historically, he would have lived there for ten years.

But because of the entry of the Ming army into the city, Ashikaga Yoshimasa naturally could not let him live in the shogun's mansion, but gave him a sum of money to return to the palace.

It's just that Ashikaga Yoshimasa doesn't have any money now. And how much money to give to the emperor.

How can that little money be enough to repair the house?

So this emperor was only enough to repair the place where he and the empress lived, and as for other places, he had to give up.

So Wang Ying saw it, and they all suspected that it was the royal residence of the deserted house.

However, although Wang Ying was suspicious, he did not hesitate to lead the team into the so-called "imperial palace". Soon met the Emperor of Japan.

A man who looked to be thirty years old, dressed in clothes, looked good in good condition, but there were already signs of repair on it. I tried to pretend to be solemn, but I couldn't stop trembling on my body, but it proved everything.

Wang Ying said: "You are the emperor of Japan? ”

"Bold." An attendant gritted his teeth and said tremblingly, "How dare you be rude to the emperor." ”
