Fushimi Castle, the famous castle that defined the "Azuchi-Momoyama period" together with Azuchi Castle, is another symbol of the Toyotomi regime after Osaka Castle. Fushimi Castle was originally located at the foot of Mt. Shigetsu and was originally part of Jurakudi, and was a representative building of the "dual politics" of Hideyoshi and Hideji, and after Hideji's exile and Jurakudi was demolished, Hideyoshi expanded it on a large scale, and Fushimi Castle during this period was called "Shigetsu Mountain Fushimi Castle".

However, with the Great Fushimi Earthquake, this magnificent castle was destroyed, and Hideyoshi followed Takatora's advice and rebuilt the main part of the castle at Mt. Kihata, one kilometer northeast of Mt. Shigetsu, which was historically known as "Mt. Kihata Fushimi Castle".

As for the name "Momoyama Castle", it is due to the fact that people planted peach trees on the ruins of Fushimi Castle during the Genroku period (1688 to 1703), and Fushimi Castle at this time was also called "Momoyama Fushimi Castle".

According to the popular theory in the Edo period, the Great Fushimi Earthquake occurred due to the unjust spirits of Hideji and others, and it was called "a sign of the decline of the Toyotomi family" in later generations, and it also provided an excuse for Tokugawa Ieyasu to seize the world: "God wants to destroy the Toyotomi family, not my Ieyasu."

Of course, at this time, Fushimi Castle had a new look, a scene of singing and dancing, and naturally no one dared to connect this natural disaster with last year's man-made disaster, coupled with the visit of the Ming envoy, it added a few good signs to this new city.

Upon arrival in Fushimi, the Ming delegation was welcomed to the post house for a short rest, and the next morning they went to Onomaru to participate in the canonization ceremony.

As a sign of his attention, as soon as the mission left the post house, Hideyoshi ordered Mori Terumoto to lead the daimyo from all over the country to wait in a queue at the city gate. In less than half an hour, Yang Fangheng and others arrived at the Dashoumen under the leadership of the Li family and Xiubao, Yang Fangheng, as the envoy, walked side by side with the Li family in Jinji Zhongjing's clothes, and Shen Weijing also wore a peacock supplement suit, holding a gold seal, and followed closely.

After yesterday's incident, Yang Fangheng felt a little helpless and sad about the loss of power, but now seeing such a grand welcome lineup from the Japanese side, he sighed in his heart "Old Tree in Spring": "Shen Weijing, Shen Weijing, no matter how arrogant you are, the old man is still the envoy of the mission after all." ”

Surrounded by hundreds of officials, everyone followed Maori Huiyuan into the main hall, and then the major names took their seats in turn, and their demeanor and demeanor varied.

At this moment, the small surnames on both sides shouted in unison, "His Royal Highness Taiko has arrived", and slowly opened the curtain on the hall, Hideyoshi wore a dark purple sewn armpit robe and slowly walked out from behind the scenes, and a team of close attendants followed him with a saber in hand, in recent years, Hideyoshi's body is not as good as before, the shape is like a withered tree, and it is even rumored that he often wakes up in the middle of the night, and is incontinent, even so, at this moment, he can still feel the indelible ambition from his eyes.

I saw him standing in the hall, looking at Yang Fangheng and the others with blazing eyes, and asked with displeasure: "Since you are here to ask for peace, why don't you kneel?" ”

Although Shen Weijing said that he had contact with many big names, but this was the first time he saw Hideyoshi, this villain was already a little weak-hearted, and now when he heard Hideyoshi's sharp questioning, he immediately panicked, and knelt down with a "poof". Yang Fangheng was also at a loss when he saw this, although he was a little hesitant, but thinking of Shen Weijing's sentence "Everything is arranged by me", he had no choice but to kneel down.

The president thought that something was going wrong, and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, but when he saw Shen Weijing and Yang Fangheng so familiar with current affairs, he was also temporarily relieved. Although Hideyoshi didn't understand the reason, he was in a good mood when he saw that the envoy was so obedient, and said with a hearty smile: "Sure enough, he is the envoy of a great country, and it is really hard for you to come from afar this time." ”

Shen Weijing was already out of order, and he couldn't say anything else except nodding his head vigorously and saying "hi hi" and "not hard". Seeing this scene, Yang Fangheng secretly "puffed" and thought: "Didn't you say 'leave everything to you' What is this now?!" Although he was unwilling, he had no choice but to follow Shen Weijing's appearance and nod in agreement.

Seeing that Yang Fangheng was so respectful, the president also accepted it when he saw it, and shouted loudly: "Please start saluting!" ”

Hearing the president's words, Shen Weijing finally calmed down, hurriedly got up, and presented the gold seal and crown dress to Hideyoshi, and the entourage behind him also gave the prepared dresses to the other daimyos, and this "canonization" farce finally started without danger.

Sure enough, Ieyasu, Toshi, and Hideho were given bullfighting suits; Huiyuan, Xiujia and Longjing were presented with flying fish suits; Asano Nagamasa and Maeda Genyi were presented with python suits; Sancheng and Changsheng were given unicorn clothes, no way, who called the previous ones and Hideyoshi are not related, and the official positions are above the two.

In the evening of the next day, Hideyoshi set up a banquet at Nishinomaru to warmly entertain Yang Fangheng and Shen Weijing. Hideyoshi sat in the center of the head, according to the historical records, he wore a seven-fold soap wrinkled yarn leather crown, a plain white gauze red collar and a black text in the middle, and a five-chapter juandi yarn leather dress, wearing a front and back clothes with pigment, a red and white plain belt around the waist, wearing a red and white silk silk on his feet, and a green jade pendant on his waist, completely dressed as a county king of the Ming Dynasty, but in Hideyoshi's eyes, this was the head of the Ming Dynasty emperor.

Yang Fangheng and Shen Weijing sat on the right side of the lower head, and seven people, including Ieyasu, Li Jia and Hideho, wore various colors of crown clothes given by the Ming Dynasty and sat on the left side of the lower head. The rest of the daimyo were not qualified to sit in the hall and could only dine in the south rafters, while the lower daimyo sat in the veranda outside the hall to eat, and then again, it was a great honor to be able to participate in this grand event, so how could they care where they sit.

Yang Fangheng saw that Hideyoshi and the others were all dressed in the Ming Dynasty, as if he was in the court, and finally felt a little relieved and proud in his heart. After the banquet began, according to the number of rites, Hideyoshi's musician played the elegant music of the Ming Dynasty.

But before Yang Fangheng could listen to it, the music was stopped by Toyotomi Hideyoshi: "It is to welcome guests from afar, and to play the music of my country." So the sound of drums and flutes in the hall was loud, and the Noh beat began. Hearing the "folk music", the originally sleepy daimyo couldn't help but cheer and dance, but instead put Yang Fangheng and others aside, and Xiubao looked at the people of the mission who didn't know why and smiled dumbly, this is the portrayal of "Yangchun Baixue" and "Lower Riba People".

At noon, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and everyone returned to Hanada Villa, and finally it was time to read the edict, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was surrounded by three senior monks of Xiangguoji Temple Luyuan Temple who were extremely proficient in Chinese, namely Xixiao Chengcheng, Xuanpu Lingsan and Wei Ke Yongzhe, and finally the task of translating fell to Xixiao Chengcheng.

The president was disrupted by this "sudden attack", and the translator was not his son-in-law Zong Yizhi, nor was he his friend Jing Zhe Xuansu, what should I do? Seeing Shen Weijing's trusting gaze, the governor could only sell his old face and whisper to Xi Xiaocheng: "If Taige knows the content of the edict, he will definitely be furious, and please be 'tactful' when you read it, don't read those 'harsh' contents." ”

However, Cheng was loyal to Hideyoshi, and refused to agree to the president's request at all, and translated aloud according to the original text:

"Fengtian carries the emperor's system: Shengren Guangyun, where the sky is covered by the earth, do not respect relatives; The emperor ordered the general Pu, and the sunrise at the corner of the sea, recklessly. In the past, my emperor and ancestor gave birth to many people. Turtle New Dragon Chapter, far away to the domain of Fusang; Zhenmin big seal, the mountain of Rongshi Zhenguo. With the rise of the waves, the occasional wind occupies the separation. When it is prosperous, it is advisable to praise the chapter.

Toyotomi Hirahideyoshi, rising sea state, knowing and respecting China. Xi Chi is an envoy, and he admires the same. Knocking on the north for thousands of miles, willing to ask for attachment. Love is firm in deference, and grace is in tenderness.

Zitfur was the king of Japan and gave him a decree. Yu play! Long Benzhi Han, wearing a crown on the surface of the sea, wearing a popular uniform, solidifying the feudal guard in the sky, Erqi Nian should be repaired by his ministers, and he should follow the restraints; Grateful for the emperor's grace, there is no substitute for sincerity. Only obey the words, and always respect the voice teaching. Oh yes! ”

"The King of Japan?!" Hideyoshi's voice was gloomy, his fists were clenched, and his muscles were exposed, and as soon as he finished reading it, he hurriedly stepped forward, snatched the edict, threw it on the ground with the crown and clothes on his body, and roared angrily: "I want the king to be the king, why should I wait for the canonization?!" ”

Xiubao understands that this big lie has finally been exposed, and the next thing is up to him.
