The Kyoto Wao Imperial Palace can also be called an imperial palace.

It is said to be a royal palace, but in fact, it is impossible to take it at all, and the place where any daimyo lives in the Wa Kingdom is larger and more luxurious than the royal palace where the Wa king lives.

There is no way, the king of the Japanese at this time is really poor, and he really has no sense of existence and influence.

Neither in fact nor in name, the Wa King did not have any power in his hands, and the shogunate issued a special law in which it was clearly stipulated that the Wa King had only one power, that is, he could choose his own era name, and other than that, the Wa King did not have any power.

The shogunate did not have a bird king, and the daimyo in various places did not have a bird king at all, and this phenomenon has been going on for hundreds of years.

It has been like this for hundreds of years, so the current king of the Japanese is poor, let alone building a palace, even if he can't repair it, he can't even take out a few hundred dollars.

This is not an exaggeration, secondly, after the death of the current Emperor Dogomon in the thirteenth year of Hongji, because the shogunate was not sure to pay the funeral expenses, the bones of this sad Goto Gomon Emperor were placed in the palace for a full forty-three days and could not be buried, and finally had to be hastily buried in Fukakusa Kitake.

Emperor Go-Kashiwahara, the son of Emperor Goto Goto, ascended the throne to hold a ceremony, but he also had no money, so he kept delaying and delaying until he was fifty-eight years old.

From here, you can know how miserable the Wa King of this era is.

Although he is still nominally the monarch of the Wa Kingdom, he does not even look like a monarch at all, even if he has no power in his hands, he does not even have money, he has no money for hundreds of burials, and poverty is not enough to describe.

At this time, the elderly Emperor Goto Gomon was lying on the hospital bed, he was about to die, and it was in October of the thirteenth year of Koji that he died.

"Would you like to drink some porridge?"

Emperor Go-Kashiwahara was very filial to serve by his side, personally holding a bowl of porridge in his hand, and waiting for Emperor Goto Gomon to drink porridge.

Don't be surprised, at this time, it was already good that the Wa King could afford to drink porridge, at least he didn't starve to death, and the shogunate would still give this little money and food, after all, if the emperor's family really starved to death, the shogunate would have no way to explain to the Wa country.

"Is there any money for my burial after I'm gone?"

Emperor Houtu Gomon shook his head slightly, looked at the dilapidated palace, there was nothing decent in the entire palace, I heard that the mirror on the Ming side was very good, and he had asked the shogunate for one many times, and then there has been no news so far.

He knew that he was dying, and he was probably going to leave soon, and the only thing he was worried about now was that he didn't have enough money to bury himself.

Therefore, like the emperors of previous dynasties, when he knew that he was dying, he began to prepare for the period after him in advance, asking for money from the shogunate and from the daimyo in various places, which was actually no different from a beggar.

Emperor Go-Kashiwahara shook his head slightly, he had already made requests to the shogunate more than once, but he was in vain, and as for the letters written to the daimyo in various places, there was no return.

"Alas~"

Emperor Goto Omon sighed heavily, and then lay down on the bed.

He doesn't have any power in his hands, not even money, and the emperor's sincerity is incomparable.

"I heard that the Ming army has already reached Hyogo-no-Tsu, the Ouchi family in the Chugoku region, the Uesugi family in the Kanto region, and the Otomo family in Kyushu have all been wiped out by the Ming army, and it is estimated that the Ming army may soon be killed from Hyogo no Tsu to Kyoto and Muromachi."

Emperor Go-Kashiwahara thought about it and told him about the major events that are happening on the side of the Wa Kingdom now.

"It's really fast~"

"The Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty is the real Son of Heaven, holding the sun and the moon in his hands, rich all over the world, I heard that the palace of the Son of Heaven is bigger than our entire Kyoto."

Emperor Goto Gomon sighed, and then said enviously.

It's already come to this point, he doesn't care if the Ming army will come to Kyoto, he is now very envious of the Ming Emperor, that is the real monarch, compared to the Emperor of the Great Tomorrow, what kind of monarch is their emperor.

"Yes, now there are newspapers from the Ming Dynasty, I heard that the Qianqing Palace where the Great Tomorrow lives is resplendent and luxurious, and the windows are all made of glass, and at night, the lights can illuminate the entire capital."

Emperor Go-Kashiwahara nodded and said, his eyes were also full of envy.

"Alas~"

While talking and talking, Emperor Goto Gomon couldn't help but sigh again, people are more popular than people.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, the shogun has sent someone~"

At this moment, someone walked over softly and said.

"The shogun sent someone?"

When Emperor Goto Gomon heard this, he immediately came to his senses, and the shogunate had been too lazy to pay attention to them, but now he took the initiative to send someone over.

"Help me up and change my clothes~"

Emperor Goto Gomon struggled to his feet and commanded beside him.

Soon, Emperor Goto Gomon, dressed in his own clothes, received an envoy from the shogunate.

"I've seen His Majesty the Emperor~"

Yin Shizhong looked at the Emperor of Houtu Yumen, bowed slightly, and saluted.

"Free gift ~ give a seat!"

Emperor Goto Gomon frowned slightly, because Yin Shi Tadashi was obviously disrespectful to himself in terms of etiquette, but he was helpless, because he knew that the Yin Shi Tadashi in front of him was now one of the real rulers of the shogunate, and whether he could get the cost of the burial depended on the other party's face.

"Your Majesty Xie~"

Yin Shizhong sat down with a big grin.

"Your Majesty's complexion doesn't seem to be very good?"

Yin Shi Zhongcheng looked at Emperor Houtu Yumen and said knowingly.

The emperor is looking for them to ask for funeral expenses, obviously knowing that his life is short, and you are still knowingly asking now, isn't this deliberately angry with the Emperor of the Goto Palace.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's an old problem, it's not in the way~"

Emperor Goto Gomon was full of smiles, and he didn't seem to be a little angry because of this, but Emperor Go-Kashiwahara on the side frowned tightly, and his eyes looked at Yin Shi's loyalty, obviously angry.

"That's good~That's good~"

When Yin Shizhong heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

After that, if Emperor Tugomon was too poor to attend the peace talks in person, then the shogunate would have no way to explain to the Ming side.

"I came here this time, first, the general came to visit Your Majesty, and the general knew that His Majesty was in good health, so he also ordered me to bring five Korean ginseng, five hundred pieces of money, and ten pieces of cloth."

Yin Shizhong thought about it and said directly, it is important to do business, and I don't have time to talk nonsense with this old man.

"This ....."

When Emperor Goto Gomon heard this, he was immediately pleasantly surprised.

Did this shogun take the wrong medicine, but he actually gave ginseng, money and cloth, what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?

You must know that in the previous time, he sent people to them again and again to ask for funeral expenses, but the shogunate ignored it, and now not only gave the money, but also gave ginseng and cloth, this sun is hitting the west and coming out?

"Please also convey to me your gratitude to the general~"

Emperor Houtu Yumen didn't know what to say for a while, happiness came a little suddenly, and at the same time, it also made him secretly vigilant here, this is nothing to do, it's either a traitor or a thief, there must be something.

"Hmm~"

Yin Shizhong nodded slightly, but he couldn't help but want to say in his heart, thank that puppet to thank me, I gave it to you, but I can't say it, at least on the surface, he is still a courtier of the shogun.

"The second thing is to bother Your Majesty to personally go to Hyogo no Tsu, our shogunate and the Ming Dynasty peace talks, the Ming Dynasty people have clearly pointed out that you must personally participate in the peace talks Your Majesty, they are willing to negotiate peace with us."

Then Yin Shizhong also said the purpose of his trip, he actually came to invite the emperor to participate in the peace talks.

Because I knew that the emperor's body was not good, I gave a few ginseng to Emperor Goto Gomon to hang his life, so that people would die on the road before they arrived at Hyogo, and it would be difficult to do it then.

After all, the emperor is dead and wants to be buried, and the new emperor is going to build a big hall again, and it will take a while to come and go, and then the Ming Dynasty people will be impatient to wait, maybe they will be killed directly in Kyoto and Muromachi, and the shogunate will be finished.

"What?"

"Go to Hyogo no Tsu and talk to Akikazu?"

When Emperor Goto Gomon and Emperor Go-Kashiwahara heard this, they were immediately stunned.

They never dreamed that when they would show their presence in matters with the people of the Ming Dynasty, you must know that this is just a matter between the Ming Dynasty and the shogunate, and between the daimyo in various places, and now it is actually involved in them.

"Yes, this is the request of the Ming people, and His Majesty must personally go and talk to the Ming people."

"Of course, all of us, as courtiers, will be done, Your Majesty just needs to go over and attend."

Yin Shi nodded solemnly, and then the second half of the sentence was also to remind the Emperor of Houtu Yumen, don't think that the people of the Ming Dynasty value you, you really treat yourself as a root, you just go to show your face, everything still has to listen to the shogunate.

"I see~"

Emperor Goto immediately understood something when he heard this, and then thought about it and said, "I don't know when I will leave?" ”

He didn't hesitate at all, there was no doubt that he was definitely going, the opportunity to show his face in front of Mingren, this must go.

Now they don't have any sense of existence and influence, it's rare for the Ming people to ask him to go, then he must go, and he must brush up on a good sense of existence.

Let the shogunate, let the daimyo everywhere, and let the whole country know about his existence.

"The sooner the better~"

Yin Shizhong nodded with satisfaction and said directly.

"Then please wait a minute, I'll pack up and go."

Emperor Goto Gomon nodded, thought for a moment and said.

"Good~"

Yin Shizhong nodded and agreed.

Emperor Goto Gomon returned to the place where he lived with the support of Emperor Go-Kashiwahara, and there were no outsiders, and he couldn't help but say excitedly: "The Ming people actually asked me to go to the peace talks in person, or the emperor of the Ming Dynasty attached importance to us, after all, I am the monarch of the Wa Kingdom, representing the entire Wa Kingdom." ”

At this moment, he felt his presence, his presence as a monarch.

The shogunate and the Ming Dynasty people to negotiate peace, the Ming Dynasty people actually want to go in person, there is no doubt that this is disgusted that the shogunate can not represent the Wa country, in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, this shogunate is a chaotic minister and thief, and the only one who can really represent the Wa country is the emperor of his Houtu Gomon.

"Father, this is a good opportunity, maybe we can restore some of our power with the help of the hands of the Ming people."

Emperor Go-Kashiwahara was also very excited, and negotiated with the Akito, which was a big event, and it was a good opportunity for them to brush up their sense of existence.

And looking at this, the people of the Ming Dynasty only recognized them as kings, and maybe they could really use the people of the Ming Dynasty to fight for some power for themselves.

Not to mention anything else, at least you have to be able to have some meat for dinner in the future, and people who drink porridge every day are skinny and almost starved to death.

"It's unrealistic~ The shogunate won't allow us to hold power."

Emperor Goto Gomon shook his head slightly, he was well aware of his situation, and if he seized power, maybe the shogunate might kill him.

"The shogunate has already taken care of itself, and this time the Hyogo no Tsu fiasco, the shogunate can be said to be even worse, and the daimyo everywhere have long been dissatisfied with the shogunate."

Emperor Go-Kashiwahara was more optimistic, as if he saw hope, the hope of restoring their power.

"Let's take a look first~"

Emperor Goto Gomon thought about it and nodded slightly.

This time, I finally had the opportunity to show my face and show my presence, and maybe some of the daimyo from all over the world would come to show their loyalty to them, and then there would be a chance to grasp some power.

Thinking of this, Emperor Goto's face became more ruddy, and his whole spirit was much better.

"Someone will go and boil the ginseng sent by the shogunate, and after drinking the ginseng soup, I will set off."

Then he also said to Emperor Go-Kashiwahara.

"Yes~"

Emperor Go-Kashiwahara nodded, and hurriedly began to order people to get busy.

The whole person is also quite excited, this kind of nominal monarch, they have been enough, for hundreds of years, they have no trace of power, and now they even have to beg for funeral expenses, and even the last trace of dignity of the monarch is gone.

Finally, Ming people pay attention to them and value them, this is their opportunity, their opportunity to show their sense of existence, as long as they grasp this opportunity, maybe they can fight for some power for themselves.

They have also seen the situation of the Wa Kingdom, and now it is also a bit of a trend of competing for the deer, and the shogunate is declining day by day.

Now, with the participation of the Ming people, if they can make good use of the fact that they are the nominal monarch of the Wa Kingdom, and take advantage of the fact that the emperor has accepted the canonization of the Emperor of the Central Plains, maybe they can regain the power of the Wa Kingdom, become the real monarch of the Wa Kingdom, and become the same as the Great Tomorrow Son, who holds the world in his hands and is rich from all over the world.
