Chapter 167: Shangluo
Although Yoshiboshi was very interested in Higashimonkei and was very envious of the guns and guns owned by Higashimonkei, Higashimonkei only thought he was a relatively smart child, and after amusing him for a while, he advised him to return to Owari as soon as possible, so as not to worry his relatives. Master Ji refused to go back like this, and continued to rely on the side of Dongmen' Qing and asked him to teach him how to fire an iron cannon.
Since Nanban's intrusion into Owari was interpreted as a "misunderstanding" by ***, Kaizhen regained its calm. The Saito family and the Oda family were very sincere in their affection for Yoshi-mashiro, and the Hosokawa family saw that the Higashi'mon Kei handled the matter properly, and put the matter of inviting him to meet in Kamiraka on the agenda.
In the days leading up to departure, Qinghuaxiang was busy inside and outside.
Yu Buzhi had to discuss with Imai Munehisa and Qianzongyi about opening three joint accounts, and also had to count the new payments in Jiezhen, both of which were complicated, coupled with the unfamiliar environment, and many affairs needed to be developed from scratch, so he was so busy that he couldn't rest day and night, and the east 'gate' saw that he only slept for one or two hours a day for three or four consecutive days, and knew that it was not a way to go on like this, so he sent someone to Hirado to transfer Cui Guangnan to help.
Tang Xiuji was ordered to determine the new shipping lane. This time, Andrew and his second husband set out from Hirado, bypassed Kyushu Island from the south, crossed Shikoku Island, bumped into Ise Bay on the way, and ran to Ise Bay. When Andrew set out, Higashimen had already arranged for the boatmen in the fleet to be followed, so after arriving at Jiezhen this time, the boatmen drew the sea routes one by one, and together with the Japanese map that Higashimen Kei borrowed from Imai Munehisa, he put together a new route map. According to the navigation chart, Keikasho's ships could travel from Hirado to Kaizhen and Owari without passing through the strait between Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu. Tang Hideyoshi even thought that since the route from Hirado to Jiezhen and Owari had been decided, as long as the route between China and Hirado was revised in the middle of the route, a direct route from Quanzhou and Shuangyu to Jiezhen and Owari could be established.
These two major events were just on track, and Hosokawa Harumoto's third invitation arrived again, and the east 'gate' celebration was not good to push again, and he set off on the same day.
Japanese culture is deeply influenced by the Tang Dynasty culture, and the intention of imitating the two capitals of the Tang Dynasty is very obvious when building Kyoto, because Kyoto is divided into two parts, Luoyang in the east, and Chang'an in the west, and the Japanese are also happy to call Tokyo in Luoyang, and Chang'an in Xijing. During the Kamakura shogunate, the small Chang'an declined, leaving only the small Luoyang as the Kyoto of Japan, so the daimyo went to Kyoto, and it was often said: "Shangluo".
Before leaving, the Ji Master who was still stranded in the Jiezhen came to send, these days the East 'Gate' Qing has taught him to use the iron cannon, and established a friendship in the process of teaching and learning, Ji Master mourned the East 'Gate' Qing asked him to send himself a 'door' iron cannon, and the East 'Gate' Qing said: "I don't have much iron cannon now, and I am in a hurry to use it around me, and besides, you have not yet served the yuan, and after you have the yuan service, I will send you ten 'doors' iron cannons to congratulate you." ”
Master Kichipo said, "There is no evidence! ”
Dongmen' Qing smiled: "Others are empty words, but I am a word that is difficult to chase!" ”
Master Ji said, "Then you must not forget! If you forget it when you go back, I will personally lead the army to China to get it! ”
Dong'men Qing laughed and said, "If you have this courage, I will personally lead the fleet and send the iron cannon to Owari Province!" ”
Because Yu Buqi and Tang Xiuji had important matters and couldn't leave, Dongmenqing only brought Anthony, Li Chengtai and his second husband this time. The second husband had made a lot of merit in this expedition, and learned to shoot a gun on the ship, and the person gradually became calm, so Dong'men Qing promoted him to the post of the new captain of the guard with Li Chengtai, and said: "Your current name is too immoral, and you don't have a surname. Why don't I give you a surname, and then change your name? The second husband was naturally happy, so he changed his surname to Zhao, his name was Chengwu, and ordered Li Rongjiu to lead the sword team, Li Chengtai to lead the bow and arrow team, and Zhao Chengwu to lead the musket team, with ten people in each team, plus Anthony and other thirty-six people, with the retainers of the Hosokawa family to march towards Xiaoluoyang.
This time in Shangluo, the East 'Gate' Keiichi changed the image of a businessman when he was in Jiezhen, changed into Confucian clothes, and 'spent' a lot of money to buy four famous Muchinoku horses, pulled the cart presented by Imai Munehisa, and went to Xiaoluoyang in a beautiful way. Along the way, there were constantly Japanese monks blocking the road to ask the law, and the east 'gate' Qing replied casually, not falling behind. Although his foundation is good, after all, he is still young, and he is not concentrating on learning, and what he has learned is shallow, and it is a little difficult to debate with senior monks in the same cultural system. But fortunately, the breadth of his knowledge at this time is rare in Japan, and he has room to advance and retreat by making up for his shortcomings in addition to knowledge. In addition, he has the endorsement of people like Lin Xiyi and people like Li Yanzhi, even if some senior monks see that the cultivation is short, they also admire the academic system where he is located. Therefore, all those who ask the Dharma return with enlightenment and joy.
The road from the boundary to Beijing is not far away, but the east 'gate' celebration has walked for ten days, to Hosokawa's house, and participated in two 'flower' meetings, three tea parties, there are witty anecdotes spread out in the field, the monks and celebrities are very impressed by his knowledge, knowledge, taste, cultivation, if the east 'gate' celebration of Japan's martial name was laid in the 'fat' front of the war, then this Kyoto trip has become an important opportunity for his literary fame.
Of course, people are not perfect, and people who blow 'Mao' and find faults can always find something to make fun of in this almost perfect Chinese son who is both civil and military. For example, at a 'flower' meeting on the second day of arriving at Hosokawa's house, the princes and wealthy families took out their treasured calligraphy and paintings for the East 'Gate' celebration to appreciate, and most of the calligraphy and paintings appreciated after his comments. Then another dealer took out the collection to ask for a review of the East Gate, and a well-known painter took out his own transformation to recommend himself - that is to be sold. The east 'gate' Qing picked nine pieces, the quantity and price were given money, and the ministers at the meeting praised the son of the east 'gate' for his vision, and the price was fair! To the tenth, the east 'gate' Qingyi asked the origin, it was the handwriting of the contemporary Japanese emperor Zhiren, thinking that Zhiren was the lord of Japan, and he couldn't be lazy, and saw that this word was written seriously, not perfunctory, so he came out of a hundred times, and the guests at the meeting met, no *** Qing Hao, painters and dealers all snickered, dark clouds: "I don't want this Chinese son to have a horse stumbling." ”
Dongmenqing noticed that everyone's expressions were different, and said in his heart: "Did I do something wrong?" Because he said to Hosokawa Harumoto: "I have never seen the handwriting of the lord of your country. Could this calligraphy and painting be a fake? ”
Hosokawa Harumoto smiled: "It's not a fake, it's indeed genuine." ”
Dongmen' Qing was even more puzzled when he heard this, and he didn't know why he was being teased, and thought: "Could it be that I bid too low?" Well, yes, if it is in the Ming Dynasty, if you can get today's handwritten calligraphy and painting, even if it is a thousand words, it is not an exaggeration. Although the king of Japan cannot be compared with my great son, as the head of a country, I only give a hundred times, which is probably still rash. But it's also strange how the dealer seems to be happy. ”
After the meeting, I returned to my residence, and before I entered the 'door', I was blocked by a large group of people, all holding scrolls and calligraphy and paintings in my hands, shouting that I wanted to sell them to the son of the East 'Gate', and the East 'Gate' Qing sent people to ask, only to know that these people were holding Zhiren's handwritten books in their hands! They all shouted: "The son of the East 'Gate'! Buy mine! This one of mine is so much better than the one you just bought at the 'Flowers' party! And it's only eighty times! "I'm better at this! Just seventy! "I'm only going to have fifty strokes!" "I'm forty!"
When Dongmen' Qing heard this, he realized in his heart that his bid at the 'flower' meeting was not low, but high, so he was ridiculed, and he didn't buy a single one, and blasted the people who were besieging him away, and said to Li Chengtai after returning to the house: "Although I know that the king of Japan has been set aside, I heard that he is still very respected in the country." But I didn't expect to fall so far! ”
At night, someone knocked on the 'door' to sell paintings, and the east 'door' Qing had already slept, Li Chengtai went to answer, and said impatiently: "Don't buy it!" Don't buy it! Our son-in-law goes out 100 times a day to give your emperor face, and you really treat our son-in-law as a 'fat' sheep? ”
Came to the human: "Since the prince of the East 'Gate' is willing to give us the emperor's face, why don't you give it again?" This is a picture that the emperor has just written. ”
Li Chengtai said: "He wrote it at the 'door', and our son-in-law didn't buy it!" ”
They kept begging, and then they began to cry.
Li Chengtai frowned and said, "What are you crying about!" If you can't sell calligraphy and paintings, you have to cry? Is it really weird? ”
Come to the human: "This time it's a help!" Let's ask the East Gate to buy it. ”
When Qing heard it inside, he put on his clothes and came out to ask what was going on, Li Chengtai said in a few words, and the person who came knelt down and said, "The son of the East Gate, please buy this painting." As he spoke, he unfolded the words, and sure enough, the ink was fragrant, and it seemed that it had not been written for a long time.
Dongmen' Qing smiled and said: "Your king is really leisurely, don't you have nothing to write and sell every day?" ”
The man cried, "No. In fact, Princess Ruozi was seriously ill, and the emperor heard that the prince of the East 'Gate' liked his calligraphy and paintings, so he specially wrote one, hoping that the Prince of the East 'Gate' would accept it with a smile. ”
The east 'gate' Qing returned the word 'handover' to him, and said: "The handwriting is not much more expensive." I bought one during the day, so you can take this one with you. ”
The person who came put the words on the table, refused to take them away, and said, "I have to take some money back to treat Princess Ruozi if I say anything." East 'Gate' Child, please buy it. It's really not good, give me some hard-earned money. ”
Dongmen' Qing heard that he was pitiful, so he took the words and looked at them carefully, and saw that it was written: "Pain through the heart and liver, what can I do!" The grief is deep, but what can I do! I felt choked on the paper, and I didn't know what to say. "The interception is a sentence from Wang Xizhi's "Funeral 'Chaos' Post", and the words are also copying its artistic conception. I only saw Zhiren's words during the celebration of the East 'Gate', and said in my heart: "It doesn't look like a fake." Thinking that he was the lord of a country, he was reduced to a 'daughter' who was sick and had no money for medical treatment, and he felt pity in his heart, so he said to Li Chengtai: "Take a few dollars and send him away." ”
