Although the palace blocked Liu Ren's lawsuit against Li Yuntian, as soon as the drums sounded, those people who were sensitive to information quickly learned the details, and they were all shocked by this, who would have imagined that the protagonist of this incident was Li Yuntian.

In the evening, lecture martial arts.

"Grandpa Guo, I have figured it out, the name of the person who beat the Dengwen drum is Liu Ren, who claims to be a cloth merchant from Jiaozhi, Ying Tianfu has checked his road guide, and the road guide is true, accusing you of abusing power for personal gain and oppressing the good, but I don't know what is written in his statement."

When Li Yuntian was frowning and not looking at an official document in his hand, a military attache of the Lecture Martial Arts Hall wearing the rank of colonel walked in quickly and said to Li Yuntian in a deep voice.

This colonel's name is Chen Muyi, Chen Ningning's cousin, when Li Yuntian was in Hukou County, Jiujiang Prefecture, Jiangxi Province, he had already begun to follow Li Yuntian, and won Li Yuntian's trust, so he was able to serve as the captain of the guard beside Li Yuntian.

"What's the news from Beizhen Fuji?" Li Yuntian couldn't help but show a sneer at the corner of his mouth when he heard this, this kind of carving insect skill simply can't be put on the table, it is difficult to use this to make him down, and then he remembered something and couldn't help asking.

"There is news from Zhongwubo, Wu Xin is not locked up in the edict of the Yamen of the Fusi of Beizhen, but in the Zuoqianhu of the Fusi of Beizhen, and even Zhongwubo cannot see him without the emperor's edict." Chen Muyi replied in a deep voice when he heard this, and the Zhongwu Bo in his mouth referred to Li Manshan, the Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town, and the Fusi of Zhenfusi.

"Oh?" Li Yuntian couldn't help but feel a little surprised, his brows furrowed slightly, he originally wanted Li Manshan to find out some information when he interrogated Wu Xin, but he didn't expect Li Manshan to even see Wu Xin's face.

Then, Li Yuntian waved his hand to Chen Muyi, and Chen Muyi bowed and retreated, leaving Li Yuntian sitting there frowning and deep in thought.

After a long time, when there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, Li Yuntian came back to his senses, and a guard came in, added some charcoal to the brazier in the house, and left.

Li Yuntian glanced at the official document in hand, got up and came to the window, opened the window, and looked at a crescent moon in the sky with an expressionless face, and a refreshing and cold wind blew from the window.

"Tribute! It seems that a major chaos is about to break out in Japan. After a cup of tea, Li Yuntian closed the window and returned to the desk, picked up the official document in front of him and looked at it, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

This official document was given to the imperial court by the political envoy of Zhejiang, and was later transferred to him by the cabinet, and usually matters related to overseas trade would be handed over to Li Yuntian to deal with.

The affairs of the Zhejiang political envoy were related to the Ningbo City Bosi, and two tributary teams from Japan sparked a conflict over the debate over the authenticity of the matter, which eventually led to a riot in Ningbo, Zhejiang.

Historically, until the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the government and the opposition in Japan still treated the Ming Dynasty as a courtesy, and the tributary trade of the Ming Dynasty was called the exploration trade in history.

The so-called exploration refers to the tributary vouchers issued by the Ming Dynasty to overseas countries, in duplicate, half for the exploration and half for the base book, which is the license for tributary trade.

Among them, the 100 roads of the Japanese brand and the 100 roads of the Japanese brand number are composed of 100 roads of the Japanese brand number and 100 roads of the original brand number, as well as 2 volumes of the Japanese brand number survey base book and 2 volumes of the base book of the original brand name.

100 Japanese numbers are surveyed, and one book is stored in the Ming Dynasty Ministry of Rites; A volume of the base book of this number was placed in the Fujian Buzheng Division, and a volume of the base book of the 100 roads of the brand number and the base book of the Japanese number was sent to Japan.

According to the regulations, each ship of tribute from the Japanese sword Daming Dynasty must be carried to the survey of the road, and after checking the bottom book stored by the Fujian Provincial Affairs Department, it will be escorted to Beijing, and then checked with the bottom book placed in the Ministry of Rites.

Ships sent to Japan by the Ming Dynasty were also allowed to import trade only after the Japanese number survey of the Ministry of Rites and the Japanese Japanese number book were checked to be correct.

Whenever the Ming Dynasty changed the Yuan, the new survey and base book were sent to Japan, and the old survey and base book that had not been used up were recovered.

According to relevant historical records, the Ming Dynasty awarded a total of 6 kinds of surveys to Japan: Yongle, Xuande, Jingtai, Chenghua, Hongzhi and Zhengde.

Only with this certificate can you be qualified to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, otherwise you can only fall into the fate of being expelled, demonstrating the prestige of the Ming Dynasty.

This tributary trade may sound simple, but it has extremely complicated rules and regulations, and there is a whole set of well-established processes to follow.

Moreover, in order to show the grace and courage of the Ming Dynasty as the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, the Ming court often purchased the "tribute" brought by the tribute envoys at a price ten times or even dozens of times higher than the market price, so it attracted a large number of overseas people to come to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute, and then there was a grand occasion of "all countries come to the court".

Since a large number of benefits can be obtained from it, a large number of fake tributary teams are fishing in troubled waters, and at this time it is necessary to check the team's survey.

Since the Yongle period, with the rise of the Ming Dynasty in various parts of Japan, the territory controlled by the Muromachi shogun has been limited to the vicinity of Gyeonggi, and not only those powerful guardian daimyos, but also those powerful medium guardian daimyo no longer obey the shogun's command.

In the seventh century, Japan entered the feudal society to learn from the Tang Dynasty's rent modulation, and founded the "Bantian system", but unfortunately the Bantian system did not last long and was replaced by the feudal manor system.

In the early days of the manor system, the aristocracy and wealthy peasants gradually took possession of the land, but on the surface these lands were owned by the state, and they were only operated by agents, and they had to sign the letter of appointment and become "famous fields".

The owners of the famous fields are the lords, and they are divided into small lords formed by small and wealthy farmers, and daimyo lords formed by nobles and local tycoons, and daimyo is the abbreviation of daimyo lords.

The so-called guardian daimyo are those who have been appointed as guardians by the shogunate.

It's a pity that due to the limited strength of the shogunate, it has not been able to control these nominally subservient guardian daimyo, and these guardian daimyo cannot control their own territory, because there are many large and small wealthy clans under them, who only nominally obey the command, and their internal affairs, military, and public security have great independence.

During the Warring States period, Japan's civil wars became more frequent, and this loose relationship between superiors and subordinates could no longer maintain the rule of the shogunate, so those guardian daimyo gradually evolved into Sengoku daimyos.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, the Warring States Daimyo generally adopted a gradual policy of controlling the small lords in the domain, gradually controlling them, and as long as those small lords expressed their obedience to the rule, they would protect the land and property they possessed, and not deprive them of their original rights, so as to reduce the friction between the Warring States Daimyo and the minor lords.

Of course, this policy of protection for the minor lords was nothing more than an expedient measure for the Sengoku daimyo to stabilize the situation at the beginning of the state, and when they gained a firm foothold, they set about weakening or depriving the small lords of their economic and military rights, and transformed the original domains of the minor lords into the direct domains of the daimyo through the guò "vassal system".

Although the management of the domain was still the responsibility of the minor lords during this period, it had become a fief for the daimyo to reward them.

After the Sengoku Daimyo incorporated the original lords in the realm into the vassal system, he began to formulate a family law, which detailed the relationship with the retainers and the laws that the retainers must follow, except for those special provisions, basically the following five points:

1. It is forbidden to buy, sell and transfer the acquired land;

2. Implement the law of primogeniture;

3. Marriage and property inheritance must be approved by the monarch;

4. Retainers are not allowed to fight with each other;

5. Anyone who violates the law shall be punished with torture such as sawing, roasting, splitting, stabbing, and chopping in a kettle, and will be connected to a clan and a village.

During the Xuande period, the real power of the shogunate had fallen into the hands of the powerful Hosokawa Katsumoto and Yamana Motoyo and other guardian Daming, and two major interest groups headed by Hosokawa Katsumoto and Yamana Mototaka gradually formed to compete for the control of the shogunate, which caused the power of the daimyo to split.

Not only that, but the power of the local lords in the various territories of the guardian daimyo was also increasing, and they intervened in the inheritance disputes of the guardian daimyo, and the power of the daimyo was also divided.

In the ninth year of Xuande, in order to obtain the huge profits of the Ming Dynasty's tribute, Hosokawa Shengyuan formed a trade team to the Ming Dynasty with Xuande Survey, led by Hosokawa Yuandao five ships and more than 700 people, and arrived in Ningbo City in July.

In fact, Hosokawa Motomichi's tribute has violated the Ming Dynasty's custom, Yongle two years stipulate that Japan pays a tribute for ten years, the ship is limited to two, and the person is limited to two hundred.

However, in the first year of Xuande, because the number of people and ships paid tribute by Japan exceeded the limit, and there were too many knives transported, it was re-stipulated that there were only 3 tribute ships, no more than 300 people, and no more than 3,000 knives, and it was not allowed to violate the ban, but in practice it was difficult to implement, after all, Japan needed the profits of this trade.

When Yamana Motoyo learned that Hosokawa Motomichi had organized a trade team for the Ming Dynasty, he immediately sent a fleet to Daming with Yongle Survey, led by Yamana Ruiyan, with a total of more than 500 people in three boats, and rushed to Ningbo City Day and Night, arriving two days later than Hosokawa Motomichi.

It stands to reason that Hosokawa Motomichi had already completed the tributary trade, and Yamana Mototaka had no choice but to return this time, because it was impossible for the Ming Dynasty to conduct two tributary trades with Japan.

It's a pity that Hosokawa Motomichi carelessly patronized with the merchants of Ningbo to do private business, and didn't have time to inspect the survey for a while, and waited until Yamana Chitoyo arrived to do this thing, and happened to meet Yamana Motoyo who also came to do business, so Ningbo City Boji verified the exploration of the two together.

Soon, during the inspection, Ningbo City found that there was a distinction between the old and the new, and Hosokawa Motomichi and Yamana Mochitoyo had a dispute over the authenticity of the survey.

If the officials of Ningbo City could handle this matter impartially at this time, then it would not have caused a subsequent conflict, because according to the regulations, the Xuande survey held by Hosokawa Motodo was effective.

It's a pity that Yamana Mototaka bribed the eunuch who was sitting in Ningbo City, which caused the situation to be sharply intensified, and then it was out of control.
