Chapter 485: A king is not a king, a minister is not a minister

Kojiro Tamoto's voice echoed in front of the army, and for a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Kojiro Tamoto's embarrassed figure.

Jiudu Yunsai, who was chasing him behind Kojiro Tianyuan, and even Takeshi Aoiwa, who came on behalf of the shogunate, couldn't help but change their expressions when they saw Kojiro Tianyuan speak.

I saw Jiudu Yunzhai's figure flickering, and the next moment he appeared next to Tian Yuan Kojiro, and a long knife in his hand stabbed at Tian Yuan Kojiro.

Although Kojiro Tagen said that he was quite cultivated, he was much worse than a Koga-ryu ninja like Jiudu Yunsai, and if it weren't for the guards sent by the emperor along the way, I am afraid he would have been killed a long time ago.

Seeing that Tian Yuan Kojiro was about to be assassinated by Jiudu Yunzhai on the spot, he only heard a ding, and the long knife in Jiudu Yunzhai's hand was blocked by a sword.

Qi Hu's figure appeared in front of Kojiro Tamoto, and the sword blocked the blow of the Nine Degrees of Yunzhai.

Jiudu Yunzhai's eyes shrank, but as soon as he fought, Jiudu Yunzhai noticed that Qi Hu's cultivation was a little stronger than him, and instinctively made a defensive posture.

At this moment, a look of disappointment flashed in Qingyan Wuzhi's eyes and he said: "His Royal Highness King Wu of the Ming Dynasty is above, and Qingyan Wuzhi would like to meet His Royal Highness King Wu on behalf of General Ashikaga!" His Royal Highness Chitose, Chitose, Chitose. ”

Jiudu Yunzhai put away his sword and stood, but his eyes were staring at Qi Hu.

Qi Hu glanced at Jiudu Yunzhai lightly and said with a little disdain: "Your Highness also dares to use a knife in front of him!" ”

In the current situation, even a fool can see a thing or two, such as Tian Yuan Kojiro is obviously representing the emperor, and the person who is chasing and killing Tian Yuan Kojiro is obviously another force in Dongying.

Regarding the situation in Dongying, even if the generals didn't know about it before, they naturally understood it after being in Dongying for so long.

The emperor represented orthodoxy, while the shogunate hollowed out the emperor's real power, and the two were interdependent and at war.

On weekdays, even if there is an open and secret battle between the two sides, it is impossible to rise to such a level, but it is only to blame that Chu Yi led a large army to appear in Dongying, which made the emperor see the hope of regaining power, and also caused the shogun to be jealous.

I only heard Chu Yi say lightly: "Bring them over!" ”

Tian Yuan Kojiro let out a sigh of relief, a heart finally let go, in Tian Yuan Kojiro's opinion, since Chu Yi is willing to see him, then he is considered to have succeeded more than half of this time, and then as long as he says to move Chu Yi, then he can give an account to the emperor.

Thinking that the emperor was back in power, and he was the first person under the emperor's throne, and when the time came, the power was in his hands, and for a while, Kojiro Tagen thought of the wonderful place, and he couldn't even help showing a little longing on his face.

Qingyan Wuzhi's expression was solemn, and he signaled Jiudu Yunzhai to rein in a little, and strode forward to walk towards Chu Yi with Tian Yuan Kojiro.

The look on Tian Yuan's Kojiro's face was in the eyes of Qingyan Wuzhi, the two can be said to be old rivals, and they know each other's thoughts very well.

Although he couldn't guess the specific thoughts of Tagen Kojiro, just looking at Tagen Kojiro's expression, Qingyan Wuzhi could also guess a few points, and couldn't help but snort coldly.

Tian Yuan Kojiro naturally heard the cold snort of Qingyan Wuzhi, but he didn't pay attention to it at all.

When he got closer, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes when Tian Yuan Kojiro saw Chu Yi who was surrounded by everyone in the middle, obviously surprised by Chu Yi's age.

It's really Chu Yi who looks too young, at first glance he looks like a teenager who has nothing to do.

Not only Tian Yuan Kojiro, but even Qingyan Wuzhi was stunned when he saw Chu Yi, but fortunately, the two of them were also high-ranking figures in Dongying, and they had strong control over their emotions, so their expressions remained unchanged and bowed respectfully to Chu Yi.

Chu Yi looked at Tian Yuan Kojiro and Qingyan Wuzhi, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly: "The two of you came, I don't know what happened?" ”

Tian Yuan Kojiro suddenly raised his head and said to Chu Yi: "His Royal Highness King Wu is above, in Shimoda Yuan Kojiro, I came here on the orders of His Majesty the Emperor, and I sincerely ask His Highness to read that my Dongying is a country that is not to be conquered by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, His Majesty admires the Great Emperor for a long time, and I implore His Royal Highness to help our Emperor eliminate the ministers and regain control of the world, and His Majesty is willing to cultivate peace with the Great Emperor forever and ......

At this moment, Qingyan Wuzhi laughed on the side, and said while laughing: "Ridiculous, really ridiculous!" ”

Everyone's eyes fell on Qingyan Wuzhi, Chu Yi looked at Qingyan Wuzhi with interest and said, "This messenger, why are you laughing?" ”

Qingyan Wuzhi, who successfully attracted attention to himself, looked straight, and bowed to Chu Yida: "In Xiaqingyan Wuzhi, I came on the order of my general, and I would like to respect the Son of Heaven as the Lord, and I implore the Son of Heaven to enshrine the general of my family as the king of the Kingdom of Wa and guard Dongying for the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Lu Dazhu and other generals widened their eyes, looked at Tian Yuan Kojiro and Qingyan Wuzhi, and only heard Lu Dazhu sneer: "If I want to occupy Dongying, why should I wait, Urna Tian Yuan Kojiro, listen well, let your emperor present his credentials earlier, go out of the city and surrender, don't do anything daydreaming." ”

Tian Yuan Kojiro's expression changed greatly when Qingyan Wuzhi spoke, and when Lu Dazhu spoke, his expression became more and more difficult to look at, and he subconsciously looked at Chu Yi.

But when he saw Chu Yi's indifferent expression and looking at him with a smile, Tian Yuan Kojiro's heart couldn't help but sink.

It was like a drowning man grasping the last straw, only to hear Tian Yuan Kojiro say loudly to Chu Yi: "His Royal Highness King Wu, my Dongying is a country that Taizu does not list, if you destroy Dongying, where will Taizu and the Great Son of Heaven be ......?"

Obviously, Tian Yuan Kojiro saw that Chu Yi and the others had a very heavy heart to destroy Dongying, so they could only make one last fight, and they only hoped that Chu Yi and the others could have some scruples.

After all, Tian Yuan Kojiro is also a Huaxia Tong, and he knows the culture of Chinese officialdom very well, and he knows what the ancestral training of Ming Taizu means to the great tomorrow and even the civil and military.

When the generals heard this, their expressions suddenly became very ugly, Dongying is a country listed by Taizu that is not to be conquered, this is indeed a fact, and now it is pointed out by Tian Yuan Kojiro, these generals who are bent on making military achievements to destroy the country are strange if they can be happy.

Chu Yi just shook his head slowly, looked at Tian Yuan Kojiro condescendingly and said, "Tian Yuan Kojiro, do you have any misunderstanding of the ancestral teachings left by Taizu in the past?" ”

Hearing Chu Yi's words, Tian Yuan Kojiro couldn't help but be stunned, obviously he didn't quite understand what Chu Yi meant by this?

Not only Tian Yuan Kojiro, but also Yu Dayou, Lu Dazhu and other generals also showed doubts.

Chu Yi's gaze swept over everyone, and finally smiled at Zhai Luan and said: "General Zhai, you are the top talent of my former Ming Dynasty, you should know the intention of the country that Taizu listed not to be levied, why don't you give everyone a look!" ”

Zhai Luan was stunned for a moment, feeling that everyone's eyes fell on him, Zhai Luan sighed lightly, and slowly said in front of everyone's eyes: "You all know that Taizu listed the countries that were not to be levied, but I don't know why Taizu listed these countries that were not levied!" ”

Lu Dazhu was curious: "Oh, could it be that Taizu has other intentions?" ”

Zhai Luan nodded slowly and said: "Yes, the reason why Taizu listed the surrounding countries as non-conquest countries is not really to prohibit the future generations of emperors from conquering these countries, but to warn future generations of emperors not to do that kind of reckless military thing!" ”

Saying that, Zhai Luan's eyes flashed with essence and said: "The so-called non-conquest is not a real non-conquest, but to warn future generations!" ”

When the generals heard this, they suddenly showed a look of surprise, Yu Dayou nodded and said: "It turns out that the reason why Emperor Taizu listed the countries that are not to be conquered is because of such intentions, no wonder Emperor Wenzong would have made several expeditions, but the civil and military forces did not object. ”

Chu Yi listened to Yu Dayou's muttering and couldn't help but shake his head secretly, Yu Dayou was still too tender after all, and he didn't experience too many storms in the officialdom.

Tian Yuan Kojiro listened to Zhai Luan's words, and his face suddenly turned extremely pale. He came this time, the biggest source of confidence is the ancestral precept left by Ming Taizu, Dongying is the country of the Ming Dynasty, I thought that as long as he showed the slightest intention of respecting the Ming Dynasty as the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, Chu Yi would help the emperor regain power, but he never thought that the other party really had the intention of swallowing Dongying.

As if he was crazy, Tian Yuan Kojiro laughed, and said to Qingyan Wuzhi on the side while laughing: "Qingyan Wuzhi, do you hear it, Dongying is finished, Dongying is finished, Dongying is finished......"

Qingyan Wuzhi ignored the crazy Tian Yuan Kojiro, and said to Chu Yi respectfully: "Your Royal Highness Mingjian, my general is willing to respect Emperor Ming as the Son of Heaven, and I only wish Emperor Ming to entitle my general as the king of the Ming Kingdom as the Ming Emperor to guard Dongying, and live forever as a vassal of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"Arrogance, in the land of Dongying, we will take it with the swords and guns in our hands, and we have officials to shepherd and guard the people for the Son of Heaven, why wait!"

Zhai Luan broke off his drink, completely breaking Qingyan Wuzhi's thoughts.

Taking a deep breath, Qingyan Wuzhi said to Jiudu Yunzhai: "Jiudu Yunzhai, quickly kill General Yuming, and General Ran is ready to fight to the death!" ”

While speaking, Qingyan Wuzhi pulled out his katana, and in the surprised eyes of the generals, a knife stabbed into his abdomen, and then twisted violently, and between the blood shoots, Qingyan Wuzhi actually committed suicide!

Chu Yi glanced at Qingyan Wuzhi and said, "It's also a bit bloody!" ”

The madman-like Tian Yuan Kojiro suddenly seemed to be choked by the neck, with a look of fear on his face, as if he felt Chu Yi's gaze on him, and saw Tian Yuan Kojiro stumbling back, waving his hand and shaking his head again and again: "Don't, don't kill me, don't kill me, I'm willing to surrender, I'm willing to surrender......"

Compared with the decisiveness and loyalty of Aoyan Wuzhi, the unbearable performance of Kojiro Tagen is obviously more shameful.

Jiudu Yunzhai's figure disappeared in front of him in a flash, and Qi Hu's body moved and was about to chase and kill Jiudu Yunzhai, only to hear Chu Yi speak: "Qi Hu, let him go!" ”

Qi Hu's figure was stunned, and the next moment he appeared beside Chu Yi and stood behind him.

I only heard Chu Yi say: "The army is open!" ”

I saw the army roll up the smoke and dust again, and went straight to Kyoto.

A touch of blush gradually spread from the center of Tian Yuan Kojiro's eyebrows, and a famous soldier walked past Tian Yuan Kojiro, and the next moment he saw Tian Yuan Kojiro's body fall down with a pop.

Kyoto

As the center of Toei's politics and culture, Kyoto can be said to be the largest city in Toei, but also the wealthiest city under the management of successive shogunates.

But at this moment, such a city was in a panic and chaos.

The city is inhabited by almost half of the powerful people in Dongying, and with the relationship between these people, they naturally got the news that the Ming soldiers and horses went straight to Kyoto early.

It's just that since the founding of the country, except for the former Mengyuan Emperor, there has been no external threat, and no one has been able to break through Kyoto.

Therefore, even if they got the news, these magnates didn't care too much, they didn't think that the Ming soldiers and horses could really attack the city or even break through Kyoto, which had never fallen.

But at this time, the huge Kyoto was surrounded by a large army, and tens of thousands of soldiers suddenly killed, completely sealing the four gates of Kyoto, and even giving these magnates time to escape from the city.

The city of Kyoto was completely besieged, and at the same time, the city of Kyoto was also in chaos.

Needless to say, the two largest forces in Kyoto, one is the emperor, the other is the shogunate, relatively speaking, the shogunate is the strongest, and among the more than 10,000 defenders in Kyoto, the shogunate controls as much as eighty percent, and the remaining two tenths, almost one percent is occupied by the emperor's family, and the remaining one percent is occupied by a part of the city's neutral magnates.

More than 10,000 soldiers and horses defended Kyoto Castle, even if it was a local daimyo Shangru, it would take a fierce battle to break through Kyoto, but when looking at the tens of thousands of soldiers outside the city, with high morale, who could be called elite daimyo, both the shogun and the emperor's officials were silent.

With a bang, in the Kyoto Imperial Palace, Emperor Go-Kashiwahara smashed a vase with a hideous face, and at the same time viciously kicked a singer to the ground and roared: "Damn, really hateful, God-damned Chu Yi eunuch, dare to do bad things, I am a descendant of Amaterasu......"

The roar rang out, and the attendants outside lowered their heads one by one, with a look of fear on their faces, for fear that one of them would accidentally provoke the emperor and be beaten to death.

At this moment, a commotion came, and then I saw a figure followed by a team of soldiers and horses coming straight into the Spring Festival, not the shogun, who is Ashikaga Yoshinoki?

Toyoshima Ichiro, the Minister of the Left Guard, couldn't help but change his expression when he saw Ashikaga Yoshinoki leading his troops coming, and hurriedly led people to meet him and wanted to stop Ashikaga Yoshinoki, and shouted in his mouth: "Ashikaga Yoshinoki, you are so bold, An dares to lead the army to invade the Kyoto Imperial Palace, you still have Amaterasu in your eyes, but there is also His Majesty the Emperor!" ”
