After Yoshino Eiichi arrived in Kyoto, he was directly arranged by Hongroji Temple at the Japanese Embassy.

Due to the interruption of exchanges between the Japanese State and the Ming Dynasty for many years, the Japanese embassy has long been abandoned.

Although after the victory of Yunzhongwei, Qi Jingtong had brought back the news that the Emperor of the Wa Kingdom was going to personally bring the letter of state to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Hongzhi had already issued an order to Honglu Temple at this time to let them clean up first, but after all, it was abandoned for many years, and after cleaning up for more than a month, he also emptied the piles of debris, and some of the collapsed places were still under repair when Yoshino Rong and his party arrived.

On top of this matter, Daming has tried his best to do his best to be a good landlord, who let the exchange between the Wa Kingdom and Daming be interrupted for so long, and it is not to blame Daming for such a situation.

There is no way, and Yoshino Eiichi can only live in the embassy that is still being renovated.

Yoshino Eiichi lived in the embassy, and although there were officials from Honglu Temple who delivered meals on time every day, the officials on the Ming side who officially contacted them also appeared.

After being cold for three whole days, the envoys around Yoshino Eiichi were finally a little dissatisfied, and complained: "What does the Ming mean by this, Your Majesty the Emperor, you personally came to submit the credentials to them, and you are willing to cultivate the good fortune of Qin and Jin with them forever, this has been three days, but they have not sent a single official official, and they are still clanging every day, and they are so noisy that they can't sleep well." ”

As soon as Yoshino Rong raised his hand, he slapped the envoy next to him in the face, and scolded: "Stupid thing, I don't know if there is a saying in the Ming Dynasty that the wall has ears?" You haven't seen the treasure ship of the Ming Dynasty, if your words are heard by the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that these people will have no return, and it is not impossible for the Ming Dynasty to send the treasure ship to the country again. ”

After the envoy was slapped in the face, he looked like he had been taught, and said in hindsight: "Yes, what His Majesty the Emperor said is extremely true, and his subordinates should die." ”

Yoshino Eiyi's guess was right, their every move in the embassy was watched, and as soon as their conversation ended, a small official reported the situation to Xie Zhi, who was still in Jundu Mountain.

After listening to Yoshino Eiichi's answer, Xie Zhizi was quite satisfied, smiled slightly, sent the little official away, and ordered: "Continue to pay attention to the movements of Yoshino Eiichi and others, what they said and did, all of them were written down as they were. ”

After listening to Xie Zhi's order to retreat, Xie Zhi said with a smile: "Your Highness, the time to hang Yoshino Eiichi is almost enough, let's go meet someone tonight." ”

Zhu Houzhao didn't disagree, and responded: "See you when you see it." ”

Zhu Houzhao deliberately taught himself the Japanese language when he was victorious, and now he has reached the point of mastery.

In the evening, Zhu Houzhao had dinner at the Metropolitan Procuratorate of the Fifth Army.

After dinner, the two went to the Japanese embassy together.

In order to ensure the safety of the embassies of various countries, Honglu Temple will also have soldiers on duty in these places to guard the safety.

Naturally, Honglu Temple's arrangement of soldiers to protect the safety is only one thing, and on the other hand, it is also necessary to monitor the every move of these envoys at all times.

It can't be above the realm of the Ming Dynasty, what did these envoys do, but the Ming side didn't know, right?

After entering the Japanese Embassy, Xie Zhi and Zhu Houzhao went directly to find Yoshino Eiichi.

At this time, Yoshino Eiichi and the others had just had dinner, and when they heard that the envoy sent by the Great Ming had arrived, they immediately greeted them.

After seeing Yoshino Eiichi come out, Xie Zhi reported his identity, and then introduced to Zhu Houzhao: "This is my Ming Dynasty Prince." ”

After the introduction, Xie Zhicai asked in hindsight: "I forgot, Your Excellency can't understand what a certain person said, right?" Translate, find a translator! ”

Xie Zhi shouted a few times, and Yoshino Eiichi explained with a smile on his face: "In order to visit His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I have studied Chinese for a long time, and although I am not proficient, I can also use it for daily communication. ”

It seems that this Yoshino Eichi really put his mind into it.

Saying that, Yoshino Eiichi said again: "The name of Yunzhonghou is like thunder, I heard that Yunzhongwei was cultivated by Yunzhonghou, and when Qi commanded the envoy to rescue the Japanese country from fire and water, he still served as the commander of Yunzhongwei, right?" It's just that in the past few days of going down to the Ming Dynasty, I heard that the Marquis of Yunzhong stepped down as the commander of the Yunzhongwei and was promoted to the Imperial History of the Zuodu of the Five Armies. ”

Xie Zhi smiled and said: "Your Excellency can understand that these can also be said to be a breast distance, the matter of receiving Your Excellency Your Majesty has been handed over to a certain and His Royal Highness, Your Excellency should not be in a hurry to compliment a certain person, or please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who has seen me Ming first, right?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's ability is not inferior to a certain one. ”

Xie Zhi can gag with Zhu Houzhao in private, but in this scene, it is necessary to praise Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao has the ability, which is better than Xie Zhiyou's ability to give Da Ming a long face.

Xie Zhi spoke, and Yoshino Eiichi immediately saluted Zhu Houzhao and said, "I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince below." ”

Although it is not a bow ceremony, it is also a gift for the younger generations below.

If Yoshino Eiichi's etiquette was for Emperor Hongzhi, then everything would not be said, but his etiquette was given to Zhu Houzhao, who was still in the position of the prince, which was unexpected.

Zhu Houzhao didn't even think of it, and only after a while did he say: "It doesn't have to be like this, it doesn't have to be like this..."

Zhu Houzhao's voice fell, and Yoshino Eiichi immediately said: "In the next book, I came here just to submit the credentials to His Majesty the Ming Emperor, so that the two countries will be friendly for generations, but in the next Ming Dynasty to see the strength of the Ming Dynasty, I wish the generations and the Ming Dynasty to be ministers, and forever inherit the name of the next year, I hope that His Royal Highness the Prince, the Marquis of Yunzhong can present the wish of the Emperor to His Majesty the Ming Emperor." ”

This thing was something that Xie Zhi and Zhu Houzhao didn't expect.

The two of them looked at each other and put away the surprise on their faces, and Xie Zhi said: "This will be forwarded by a certain person, you can live in the embassy with peace of mind, and wait for the news." ”

Xie Zhi promised, Yoshino Eiichi looked very happy at the very least, and invited: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Marquis Yunzhong, come in and sit." ”

Everything that should be said has already been said, Zhu Houzhao directly rejected Yoshino Eiichi's invitation, and said: "If you don't go in the palace, the palace still has something to do." ”

Zhu Houzhao didn't go in, and Xie Zhi didn't go in with him, and then Zhu Houzhao also waved his hand and refused: "So-and-so won't go in either, so-and-so still has something to do." ”

After rejecting Eiichi Yoshino, the two left the Japanese embassy together.

As soon as he came out of the embassy, Zhu Houzhao said: "Yoshino Eiichi is not a simple person. ”

Zhu Houzhao's evaluation, Xie Zhi also agreed.

Yoshino Eiichi was able to help end the civil strife in the cloud in one month, and he sorted out the chaos of the war for many years, and he definitely had a skill.

Since he has a skill, he must not be easily surrendered, and his heart can be willing to pay tribute like the Ming Dynasty, not to show weakness and accumulate strength, so what is it?

Xie Zhi echoed: "Yoshino Eichi is not simple, those who can bend and stretch are definitely not mortals, but with the strength of the Ming Dynasty today, it is not enough to be afraid of a mere Yoshino Eiichi." ”

The Ming Dynasty has been developing rapidly in the hands of Zhu Houzhao for at least fifty years, and the Wa Kingdom will not be able to catch up even if it is a rocket, and it is in vain for Yoshino Rong to have other thoughts again and again.

After a while, Zhu Houzhao expressed his opinion on this matter and said, "No matter what Yoshino Eiichi thinks, since he is willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, we can also promise him any loss." ”

Do you still need to think about this question? Of course, it is a direct promise!

Xie Zhiying said: "That's natural, but although I agreed, I can't do without vigilance, as long as the vigilance is always there, Eiichi Yoshino just has an idea, so what?" ”

After meeting Yoshino Eichi, Xie Zhi instructed the officials of Honglu Temple who were proficient in the Japanese language to take the people who came here to take a look around in the capital first.

These people are here, even if they are used as tourism, they have to go around.

As soon as Yoshino Ei has someone to hang out, Xie Zhi is here to save trouble, and he doesn't need to worry about them, so he can concentrate on his own business.

Since he was in charge of the Five Armies Metropolitan Procuratorate, since the death of the princess of Chongqing, Zhou Xian needs Ding Wei to keep filial piety, Xie Zhi only knows that it is not so easy to be the chief official of a yamen.

Every day, the following imperial history sends impeachment memos, and he needs to sort out these memorabilia and then report them.

Not only that, but also consider how the following impeachment needs to be resolved, so that Emperor Hongji can quickly reply when he asks.
