Night, Geumbokgung Palace.

"Is Wen Jun asleep?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Alright, you all go down!"

Zhu Yunwen retreated from everyone, first went to the cradle to look at his son, gently touched his tender face, his heart was full of softness, at this moment, Zhu Yunwen felt that all the hard work was worth it.

"Your Majesty," Concubine Xu Miaojin moved lightly, sitting gently beside Zhu Yunwen, looking at her child, with the brilliance of motherhood on her face: "Our child looks good!" ”

"Of course, I'm not ugly, my concubine is even more beautiful in the world, and Wen Jun is of course good-looking!"

"No, in the concubine's heart, Your Majesty is the most handsome man in the world, and you are the concubine's heaven."

"Hehe," Zhu Yunwen smiled, stretched out his hand and grabbed Xu Miaojin's shoulder, Xu Miaojin leaned on his shoulder, but his face was a little shy: "Your Majesty, the child is here!" ”

"Oh," Zhu Yunwen reacted, looked at it fixedly, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Wen Jun slept very soundly." ”

Having said that, Zhu Yunwen still stood up and helped Xu Miaojin: "Come, Miaojin, I will help you over!" ”

"The concubine doesn't dare!"

"It's okay, there are no outsiders here, you only give birth for five days, you need to be healthy and recuperate, I am your husband, and you can still do such a small thing as support."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is so kind to your concubines!" As she spoke, Xu Miaojin's eyes were a little moist.

"Alright, alright!"

helped Xu Miaojin to the bed and let her lie down, and Zhu Yunwen also went to bed and stayed by her side.

"Miaojin, I heard that after the birth, your brother only came once?"

"Yes, it was the day Wen Jun was born, and he hasn't been here since."

"Alas," Zhu Yunwen shook his head: "Your brother is good at everything, but he is too careful!" ”

"Hehe," Xu Miaojin smiled, but did not speak.

......

Listening to Xu Miaojin's even breathing, looking at her pale and tired face, Zhu Yunwen felt a little heartbroken, he knew that this was because Wen Jun often cried at night, Xu Miaojin insisted on letting the child sleep with her, so that she would know anything about the child as soon as possible, but this also affected her rest, Queen Ma Hui sympathized with her and avoided Xu Miaojin's daily visit to Kunning Palace, but, alas, ......

Just thinking about it, I heard the cry of "wow" from the cradle, Xu Miaojin woke up instantly, sat up and looked at the cradle, and the maid and nurse who served also quickly ran in, and after careful inspection, it was found that the child peed, and the eunuchs and palace maids immediately got busy, changing diapers, changing bedding, and wiping the child's body, and the entire Jinfu Palace immediately became lively.

......

Following.

"Wei Guogong, you stay!"

After discussing the military situation, Zhu Yunwen left Xu Huizu behind and said, "Have you gone to see Concubine Chen recently?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Wechen has just taken office, there are a lot of things, the affairs of the Wa Kingdom are not over, there is an accident here in Annan again, Wechen is studying countermeasures, so I didn't care about it for a while, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"

"Well," Zhu Yunwen was silent for a while, and said: "Miaojin is alone in the palace, she is still a little lonely, if you have time, go and see her more, if you really can't leave, you can let the Duchess of Wei enter the palace and walk around!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Let Xu Qin enter the attendant room, I think this kid is still good!"

"Thank you, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!"

Xu Huizu knelt on the ground and thanked him for his gratitude.

"Let's go down!"

......

Wakoku, Kyoto, Muromachi shogunate.

"Uesugi, how is the situation of military recruitment in various places??"

"Returning to Your Excellency, it is difficult to recruit and transfer in the Kansai area, and the local guards are not only reluctant to send troops, but also ask the shogunate to send reinforcements; The Kanto region was still going well, and the northeastern prefectures of Mutsu and Dewa had already been ordered to be mobilized, and the other feudal states had already begun to assemble, and according to optimistic estimates, the number of troops gathered near Kyoto in a month could reach 100,000. ”

When he said "100,000 people", Uesugi Kenta's tone raised a little, and he seemed to be a little excited.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu nodded: "Uesugi-kun, you have worked hard, in addition to the army, you should also pay attention to the food and grass, this war will last for a long time, the Ming country is a big country, and the country is coming, we must be prepared for a long-term war of resistance." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency."

"Is Spooyi back?"

"Not yet, he went to Shikoku, it should have been seven or eight days!"

"Oh," Ashikaga Yoshimitsu patted his head lightly, he remembered that after the Ming army cut off the Shimonoseki Strait, Spo Yoshishige immediately went to Shimonoseki to inspect, one was on his own orders to learn about the latest battle situation, and the other was worried about his father's situation. In Yiman's heart, Yizhong's ability is limited, but he is steady in doing things and is more filial to others, so it is very suitable to perform this task.

But I don't know if it was under the influence of An Yun's guardian Yamauchi Man, after Spo Yoshirei returned to the shogunate, he actually suggested to Yoshimitsu to give up Kyushu and negotiate peace with the Ming Kingdom, which made Yoshimitsu very angry, because the premise of the Ming State peace was to go to the Ming Kingdom to accept the guilt, which was unacceptable to Yoshimitsu.

However, General Spoyi was far away in Kyushu, and his life and death were uncertain, and Yoshimitsu could not deal with Yoshishige at this time, so he reluctantly suppressed his anger and sent Yoshishige to Shikoku to investigate the situation in Kyushu......

Thinking of Yoshige, thinking of Shikoku, Yoshimitsu sighed secretly in his heart, if Kyushu is not defended, then Shikoku will not be protected, if Shikoku is lost, then Kyoto will directly face the threat of the Ming army, is it really going to be moved?

......

When Yoshimitsu was thinking about the next step, Hosokawa Yorimoto suddenly walked in hurriedly from outside, and when he got closer, he glanced at Uesugi Kentashi with some hesitation, and then approached Yoshimitsu, his voice was extremely low, as if he was afraid of being heard: "Your Excellency, Shibukawa has returned and brought news from Kyushu!" ”

Shibukawa? Which Shibukawa? Kyushu?

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu immediately stood up and looked at Hosokawa Yorimoto with a somewhat nervous expression: "Where are they?" What is the situation in Kyushu? ”

"Go down, all of you! Uesugi stays! ”

After everyone withdrew, Hosokawa breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The situation is not good, Kyushu is likely to have been lost!" ”

"Ahh What about Shibukawa? Where is he? ”

"It's right outside!"

"Let him in right away!"

Hosokawa said yes and walked out, and after a short time, he brought in two people, one was Shibukawa Mitsuyori and the other was Shiba Yoshishige.

Si Boyi was fine, neatly dressed, but his expression was melancholy, and he seemed to be a little preoccupied.

Shibukawa Mitsuyori looked frightened, and as soon as he came in, he threw himself at the feet of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and cried: "Your Excellency, Shibukawa is incompetent, Kyushu is finished!" ”

"What the hell is going on? You get up and speak! Ashikaga Yoshimitsu suppressed his emotions and asked softly.

Shibukawa Mitsuyori seemed to be frightened, and his speech was a little upside down, but the people here were all highly intelligent people, so with brain supplements, he roughly understood the situation in Kyushu.

However, Shibukawa Mitsuyori didn't know much, all he knew was that the Ming army landed on Kagoshima, and outside Kagoshima Castle, the two armies faced each other, and their own side was defeated, so they had to retreat to Dazaifu.

On the way to retreat, he encountered a rout from Dazaifu, saying that Dazaifu had fallen, and he had to flee to Bunzen and Bungo, and finally smuggled across the Bunzen Waterway under the blockade of the Ming army, arrived at Shikoku Island, and met Shiba Yoshishige.

As for the situation of Ashikaga Yoshimori, Yoshisho Spo, Imagawa Sadayo and others, Shibukawa said that he did not know at all.

After listening, Ashikaga Yoshiman gritted his teeth, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out, what a waste, all the way to defeat, all the way to run, but in the end he survived and ran back, and the life and death of others are unknown.

But Ashikaga Yoshimitsu knew in his heart that this was all caused by himself, and it was a well-known thing that Shibukawa Mitsuyori was not capable enough, but Kyushu, as the base of the Southern Dynasty in the past, was separated from Honshu by the Shimonoseki Strait, and the exploration of governing Kyushu could only be used with people with relatively poor ability and could not deter the daimyo of Kyushu, like Imagawa Sadayo, which was the most unsettling.

Looking at the crying Shibukawa Mitsuyori, the anger in Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's heart was difficult to contain: "Come on, take Shibukawa Mitsuyori down, whip forty lashes, and then put him in prison, and no one is allowed to contact him!" ”

"Your Excellency, spare your life! Spare your life! ”

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu waved his hand and ignored it.

Shibukawa Mitsuyori's voice faded away, and everyone looked at each other, but no one took the initiative to speak.

After a long time, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu spoke: "Everyone, how should we deal with the current situation?" ”

Hearing that Spoyoshi will be uncertain about his life and death, Hosokawa Yorimoto has mixed feelings in his heart, the former Kangli coup, it was this person who forced Ashikaga Yoshimitsu to remove his brother and stepfather Hosokawa Yoriyuki from the position of manager, since then, the Hosokawa family began to decline, but now hearing the news, Hosokawa Yorimoto is not happy, because, this kind of thing, perhaps, in the near future, will also happen to the Hosokawa family......

"Your Excellency, I think that if what Shibukawa said is true, then Kyushu will soon fall into the hands of the Ming army, and our army will not be able to stop it at all, then there are two problems now, one question is, the Ming army occupies Kyushu, will it stop, or will it continue to attack Shikoku and Honshu? The second question is, what is the life and death of the general and the general in charge? We all need to figure out these questions! ”

The first to speak was Uesugi Kenda, who was the governor of the Kanto region, and most of the Spo family's territories were in the Kanto region, so there was some incense.

"Well, what about you?"

"What Uesugi-kun said is very true, but we can't just wait for news from Kyushu, we should also step up the mobilization of troops to guard against the attack of the Ming army, otherwise once the Ming army continues to attack, our army will be caught off guard."

"Well, Yoshige, what about you?"

"Returning to Your Excellency, what the two adults said is very true, but what the humble post is worried about is the life and death of his father, so the humble post is willing to send an envoy to Kyushu to find out the movements of the Ming army, and by the way, inquire about the news of the general and his father!"

"Shhhh

Hearing Spo Yoshishige's words, everyone couldn't help but hiss, no matter who it was, they didn't expect that Spo Yoshishige would say such a thing, sending an envoy to Kyushu is indeed the best way to understand the situation in Kyushu, but it is also the most dangerous.

Originally, everyone thought that Mingren was the most reasonable, and even if he suffered a loss, he would greet him with a smile, and he would not lose the dignity of a big country. But this brazen invasion of the Ming army completely subverted everyone's thinking, and everyone was not sure about the Ming army.

"Yizhong, have you thought about it? Do you really want to go? ”

For a long time, Ashikaga Yoshiman said in a deep voice.

"Yes, my father's life and death are uncertain, and I dare not be an only child!"

"Okay, I will appoint you as the envoy of this minister, go to Kyushu, and find out the truth of the Ming army!" Ashikaga Yoshimitsu paused, walked down and patted Yoshishige Spo's shoulder, and said, "You have to pay more attention to safety, don't be reluctant, you must come back alive!" ”

"Your Excellency, you know what to do!"

"Your Excellency, this ......"

Uesugi Ken wanted to be persuaded, but was stopped by Yoshimitsu waving his hand, so he could only keep silent
