On the first day of October in the ninth year of astronomy, this day was already the third day of the siege of Yuansheng City, and the offensive and defensive sides were still facing each other, and there was no overly fierce battle.

On the morning of this day, Masara was judging with the two brothers, Ichino Ichino, who had just arrived, and Ichiruka, the leader of the Black Eagle of the Ninja Army. At this time, the attendant Kuna hurriedly walked in and reported: "Your Highness, a small morning boat has come from the east bank of the Kamigawa River, and the people on the ship claim to be the messengers of the Ishihara family, and they have come to ask to see Your Highness. ”

"Oh?" Masato glanced at the two retainers below, and was very surprised in his heart, but he didn't expect that the detective who had infiltrated the other party's territory had not yet sent back the news, but the other party had sent an envoy first.

"Let the envoy of the other party come to meet him" Masarashi couldn't guess the other party's intention for a while, so he simply decided to meet the other party's envoy and listen to the latter's intention......

When Guna Tong came with two of them, Masahiro also deliberately arranged a performance.

In the military tent of the Luo family under Yuansheng City, three girls knelt side by side in a corner of the military tent, two of them played the pipa from China, and the last one sang in harmony:

Mt. Yoshino snow prudent,

Say goodbye to Jun Jue,

Nine turns of the intestines day and night,

The phase is only in a dream.

The happy times are gone,

The joys of the past are no longer coming,

Spring silk candles turn into ashes,

This hatred lasts forever.

The three women were originally purchased by a merchant in Kyushu, and they didn't want to be captured by pirates during a voyage, so they were sold to the lord of Yuansheng Castle several times. Two days ago, the troops of the Luo family swept through the towns around Yuansheng City, and rescued these women in a small village belonging to the city lord of Yuansheng City. Now they are singing a song called "Dance of Silence". Speaking of this song, I have to involve a famous beauty in the Japanese period, Jing Gozen.

Jing Yuzen is famous for being a peerless dancer, and her background is not noble. Jing Yuqian's mother is a white beat called Zen Master Ichi, and Jing Yuqian learned dance from his mother since he was a child. She is gifted and intelligent, not only dancing beautifully, but also excellent dancing skills. When she was about 14 years old, she danced to pray for rain at Shenquanen. Perhaps it was her perfect dance that moved the heavens, and the rain poured down, and from then on. She is known for being a peerless dancer.

At the age of 15, she met Minamoto Yoshitsune, the younger brother of Minamoto Yoritomo, who had eliminated the Heike triumph at Tanoura. Shortly after she became Minamoto Yoshijing's beloved concubine, Gen Yoshijing was hunted down by her brother Minamoto Yoritomo on suspicion of rebellion. She also fled with Yoshitsune to Mt. Yoshino, which is forbidden for women to enter and exit, and she and Yoshitsune broke up with tears. Captured by Lai Chao's soldiers.

Shizu's appearance in Genpei's Rise and Fall is when he returned to Kyoto in triumph after the victory at the Battle of Tanpo (April 24, 1185), when Yoshitsune and Shizune were living a sweet and happy love life. On November 3 of the same year, Yoshitsune escaped from Kyoto, and Shijing was also together. After Ottoura was hit by the wind, Shizune and Yoshitsune spent the night at Tennoji Temple. Later, Kyoto issued an order to search for Yoshitsune, and they fled to the snowy Mt. Yoshino. Later, Yoshitsune felt that it was dangerous to take a woman to walk in the snow, so he decided to let her go to the place of his mother, Alum Zenni. He gave her a great deal of silver and gold, and sent servants to escort her out of the mountain. Unexpectedly, the money was robbed by the servants on the way down the mountain, and Jing had to return to Kita-Shirakawa's mother alone.

Soon after Shizune was summoned and interrogated by the authorities (Rokuboro), on March 1, 1186, the mother and daughter were sent to Kamakura and subjected to harsh interrogation, but she never confessed the whereabouts of Yoshitsune, and the shogunate was unable to obtain clues. Lai Chao was very dissatisfied with this, but he was helpless. Soon. A sacrificial ceremony is held at Hachimangu Shrine in Kamakura. Yorito's wife, Masako Hojo, and her eldest daughter, Daihime, asked her to perform. Jing repeatedly insisted that it was invalid, and after the last day, he danced in the Ruoguan Hall of the Hachijo Palace in Tsuruoka on April 8. She puts on the costume of "white beat" and dances fearlessly in front of her husband's enemies, led by Yorichao. At that time, she was famous for her lyrics while dancing and singing. The song she sang was a sad longing for the people she loved, and this song is the song that several women are singing today. …,

In front of the public, Jing sang and danced to express her longing for her lover, which undoubtedly meant a rebellion against the Lai Dynasty. And it doesn't match the atmosphere of the festival. Of course, Jing Yuqian knew that this was the case and deliberately did so. Minamoto Yoritomo was really enraged. In the end, it was under the persuasion of Hojo Masako, the wife of Minamoto Yoritomo, that he finally withdrew.

Jing Yu was pregnant with the child of Yoshitsune. Lai Chao has an order: If it is a baby girl, it will not be beheaded. But if it is born a boy, kill it immediately. Masako and Shizuki both hope to have a girl, and this year is on July 29. Jing really gave birth to a son for Yoshijing, but the child was abandoned on the beach. Due to Masako's sympathy, Shizune left Kamakura on September 16 and returned to Kyoto. After returning to Kyoto, he missed Yoshitsune, who fled to Hiraizumi, Oshu, day and night.

One day, she and her maiden Koto went back and forth to the Jibashi Bridge in Shimo-Soda Shimobenomi-mura (present-day Sowa-cho, Ibaraki Prefecture), and heard that her lover Yoshitsune committed suicide in defeat at the mansion in Kikikawa in April of the fifth year of Bunji (1189), and before he died, he first killed his wife Gomae and then his eldest daughter, Kamezuru Gozen. Jing Yuqian was very sad, and wandered on the bridge and cried.

Soon, in order to mourn the dead of Yoshitsune, he cut his hair and became a nun at the local Takayanagi Temple, and prayed for her husband Yoshitsune and her murdered child, living a desolate life. He died on September 15 of the same year at the age of 22. The maid Kotomi buried her at Takayanagi Temple.

It can be said that this woman is like a dazzling meteor flying in the dark night sky, she showed an instantaneous dazzling brilliance on the stage of history, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. However, her song for her lover has survived.

Just as Zhengliang was immersed in the recollection of the origin of this song, the close attendant Guna walked to the door of the military tent with two people: "Your Highness, the guests have been brought." ”

Zhengliang waved his hand and let the women retreat, and then said to the outside of the tent: "Please come in!" ”

As soon as the words fell, under the leadership of Su Natong, a middle-aged man walked in with a young man who looked very strong, "Foreign Minister Ishihara Household Officers and Guards Greet Your Highness", the middle-aged man bowed to Masayo on the throne and saluted. The young man behind him also bowed slightly, which was considered a salute.

"Hehehe, Lord Gongwei, you don't need to be polite, please sit" Zhengliang pointed to the two positions that had been prepared a long time ago, and motioned for the two to sit down.

After the two of them sat down on their knees, Masahiro continued: "Hehe, what did Master Gonggongwei think of the song just now? ”

Officer Jianwei didn't expect that Zhengliang didn't talk about business but talked about other things first, and it was also the elegant thing he was not good at, and the wording that was originally prepared for Lu couldn't be stated for a while, which seemed a little embarrassing, and he had to respond hesitantly: "The foreign minister doesn't know dance music at all, but it sounds very moving." ”

"Ha Lu Haha, Lord Kan Guardie is really straightforward" Zheng Liang first laughed at Ha Lu Ha Da Lu, and then his expression suddenly changed, staring at Guan Soldier Wei and asking, "So, Lord Guan and Soldier Wei, can you tell me why you are here today?" ”

"This..."The official guard was completely dazed by Masaliang's fickle expression and the sudden change in topic, and his words were choked for a while, and after a long while, he bowed down and said, "Your Highness Masaliang, this time the foreign minister came to reconcile with the Luo family on the order of the head of the family. ”

"The order of the head of the house?" Zhengliang smiled, and while continuing to stare at the official guard with sharp eyes, he said lightly, "Your lord is still a guest of the Huzi family, right?" Among them, the word "guest" deliberately accentuates the tone.

The real purpose of Masarashi's remarks was to test the reality of the other party, especially to confirm whether the civil strife in the Yomiko family was still continuing.

Sure enough, after hearing Zhengliang's words, his expression was obviously a little panicked. Seeing this, Zhengliang secretly calmed down, the other party is really still in civil strife, it seems that this time the negotiation can be a little stronger, thinking of this, Zhengliang did not wait for the other party's big words, and continued: "Hehe, Lord Guanwei don't have to be surprised by this. The family also has acquaintances in the Huzi family, and they are very clear about the situation there. Having said that, Lord Kanbei, what do you think of the morale of your family? ”…,

"This?" The guards had just stabilized their panicked minds, and they were immediately confused by Masaara's sudden words, so they had to reply casually, "Your morale is indeed very high. ”

"Oh? Does the same opinion go from Master Kan and Soldier Guard? Masato pretended to be surprised.

In fact, before Masarashi asked the question just now, he was sure that the other party would answer like this. Why? Because after learning of the arrival of the Ishihara family's envoy, Masara immediately arranged for the troops outside the military tent to be trained, and he had to deliberately show his momentum, both to intimidate the defenders in Yuansheng Castle and to give the other party a dismount. At the same time, he found a few singers to perform in the tent just now, fully revealing the self-confidence of the Yuansheng City captured by the Luo family.

"In that case, when do you think the Luo family will be able to capture Yuansheng City?" Masato asked.

"His Highness Masashi... Well? Hum? Your Highness, what do you mean by this? As he was about to answer, he suddenly realized the meaning of Zhengliang's words, and immediately stood up and said angrily to Zhengliang.

This sudden move made Su Na, who was standing behind Zhengliang, pull out his sword with a "Cheng" sound and glared angrily at the officers and soldiers, and Yinuo, who had been sitting under Zhengliang and listened, also stood up and stared at the officers and soldiers. At the same time, the cloaked guards outside the tent also ran in when they heard the noise.

"Ha Lu Ha Ha, you all stand down" Zheng Liang Ha Lu Ha smiled, waved his hand, signaled that everyone did not need to be nervous, and then said to Kan Kan Wei, "There is no need to be angry. I just want to tell my lord that since my family is determined to win Yuansheng City, how can I 'reconcile'? ”

"Humph!" The officer snorted coldly, sat down again, and continued, "His Royal Highness Zhengliang seems to be a bit too deceitful. ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? Masarashi asked, puzzled.

"Your Highness Zhengliang, we are here with sincerity this time," the sturdy young man who had not spoken at this time suddenly spoke.

"You are?" Masato couldn't help but ask suspiciously. Masaro had always thought that this young man was just a samurai who was guarding the guards, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"In front of Shimohi, the execution of the Fujisaburo clan of the execution of the Hiki Yamada Palace," the young man bowed and said. (To be continued......)
