Saving face?

What kind of face can be given to the mere Japanese country?

Zhu Zhanji's side Zhao Wang sneered, and just wanted to speak, but was stopped by Zhu Zhanji beside him, Zhu Zhanji looked at his third uncle and smiled, and said, "Third brother, don't be excited, listen carefully to what they want to do?" ”

King Zhao's face instantly fell, he glanced at Zhu Zhanji coldly and said, "You go and command, I won't speak." ”

Zhu Zhanji smiled, did not pay attention to King Zhao, but continued to look at the Japanese spies kneeling there, and then continued: "Your general, is it Ashikaga Yoshitomo? ”

"If you want to invite me over, you can do it, but you are far from enough qualifications, go and ask Ashikaga Yoshinori to come over in person, otherwise you won't talk."

Hearing this, the spies glanced at each other, and then there was a slight change in their eyes.

Why? Because in Zhu Zhanji's eyes and words, they heard Zhu Zhanji's strong disdain for the Japanese State.

The Wa State is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and he is the ruler of our country at Ashikaga Yoshitoshi, but the Ming general in front of him has such an arrogant attitude, which makes them spies extremely unhappy in their hearts.

There's just no way.

The general had already warned them before he came, he must not anger the general of the Ming Dynasty, he could only talk to them calmly, and if the Ming Dynasty had any excessive conditions, he would have to go through him before making a decision.

Therefore, although those spies were angry in their hearts, they dared not speak out.

And they were originally afraid in their hearts, but when they raised their heads and saw Zhu Zhanji's oppressive eyes, their hearts chuckled, and they didn't dare to have any more dissatisfaction in an instant.

The sense of oppression that this young man gave them actually had a feeling of the Emperor Yongle.

Although they hadn't seen the Yongle Emperor, let alone what the Yongle Emperor looked like, they felt that they were almost the same as this young man just by imagining it!

"Okay, since the general is powerful, then let's go back and inform our general."

With that, the spies turned their heads and quickly rushed towards Ashikaga Yoshinori.

Soon they crossed the railing and came to Ashikaga Yoshimochi's face, at this time Ashikaga Yoshinori was standing at the front of the army, staring at the Ming army in front of him, when he saw these spies walking towards him, Ashikaga Yoshinori instinctively felt a little more nervous in his heart, and then asked: "How is it?" Would he like to come over? ”

The spies knelt down and then repeated Zhu Zhanji's words.

Ashikaga Yoshimori's face was slightly gloomy after listening.

In fact, he also has dissatisfaction in his heart, because after all, he is the ruler of the Wa Kingdom, and he belongs to the level of the king in terms of identity, and Da Ming is just a general, but such a person has to go over to meet him in person, doesn't that completely ignore his Wa Kingdom?

So Ashikaga Yoshimori was very angry in his heart, he had an urge to get angry, but he didn't know where to send this fire.

Forcibly tell yourself that you can't be impulsive, absolutely not impulsive.

After Ashikaga Yoshimori took a deep breath and suppressed the fire in his heart, he looked at the spies and said, "You go and tell him first, and I'll pack up and go to meet him immediately." ”

The spies nodded, and then immediately went in the direction of Zhu Zhanji to report the news.

Ashikaga Yoshinori stayed where he was, thinking for a moment, and then immediately turned around and returned to the barracks.

After muttering in the barracks for a while, he mounted his horse again and quickly galloped in the direction where Zhu Zhanji was.

This time Ashikaga Yoshinori was full of sincerity.

Why?

Because of Ashikaga Yoshinori, this time he took off all the armor and sabers on his body.

And he walked alone to the front of the Ming army.

So when he came, even Zhu Zhanji saw Ashikaga Yoshishi going to the meeting with a single sword, and he was not wearing any defensive armor, Zhu Zhanji showed a look of surprise, he didn't expect this Ashikaga Yoshiji to be so violent.

However, this is also Ashikaga Yoshimochi in order to express his full trust in Daming and express that he is harmless to humans and animals.

Ashikaga Yoshiji got off the horse, and then walked in front of Zhu Zhanji, he stood in front of Zhu Zhanji, arched his hand towards Zhu Zhanji, and said: "This general of the Ming Dynasty, I am the general of the Wa Kingdom, Ashikaga Yoshito. ”

"You want me to greet you in person, and now that I'm here, can you ask the general to follow me into the big tent of the Japanese kingdom to talk?"

After saying that, Ashikaga Yoshishi bowed down and gave Zhu Zhanji a salute.

In fact, this courtesy is very high, but his behavior made Zhu Zhanji's pupils shrink.

No wonder this great general dared to pay tribute to the Li Dynasty, it turned out that he was not only fierce, but also careful and picturesque, and knew how to forbear.

Just because of his humility and putting his posture to the lowest, Zhu Zhanji began to be jealous of him.

Zhu Zhanji has never been afraid of fools, let alone a reckless man like King Han, but what he is afraid of is this kind of person who has one thing on the surface and one thing in his heart.

Looking at Ashikaga Yoshimori, Zhu Zhanji's face showed a hint of a smile, and he said: "General, do you know that my Ming Dynasty came to ask for guilt, and you dare to come to me without wearing armor?" ”

"Aren't you afraid that I will shoot you with an arrow?"

Ashikaga Yoshimochi smiled and said: "I believe that the Ming Kingdom has the strength to crush my Japanese Kingdom, so I don't care to do such a despicable thing, not to mention that if the general wants my life, it should be above board, how can he play such a small trick?" ”

Zhu Zhanji saw that his words were high-sounding, and he became a little more vigilant in his heart.

He smiled, stared at Ashikaga Yoshinori and said, "You invited me over, is there anything wrong?" ”

Ashikaga Yoshinori smiled and said, "I hope to get Daming's understanding, so I want to invite you over to discuss." ”

Zhu Zhanji fell silent.

And beside him was still standing, Princess Boryeong.

When Princess Boryeong saw Ashikaga Yoshimori, there was a strong hatred in her eyes.

It is the man in front of her who destroyed her homeland, trampled on her land, and made her people and people deeply poisoned by the war.

So Princess Boryeong developed an extreme hatred for him.

She really wanted to shoot the other party directly at this time.

But Princess Baoning also knew that once she did this, it would be disrespectful to the Ming Dynasty and disrespectful to the King of Han.

So even though Princess Boryeong had a deep hatred, she forcibly endured it.

It's just that the leisurely gaze staring at Ashikaga Yoshimochi makes Ashikaga Yoshimochi feel very uncomfortable.

Ashikaga Yoshinori looked at Zhu Zhanji with a smile and said, "General, please rest assured, our Wa Kingdom has absolutely no other meaning, just as a vassal country, to invite the Ming Dynasty to the Kingdom." ”

When he said this, Zhu Zhanji had to go.

Because he used the name of the Ming Dynasty and the name of the subject country to invite the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Zhanji was promoted to the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, and he had to go.

Zhu Zhanji nodded, and then said, "Okay, then I'll go to your barracks to have fun." ”

After that, Zhu Zhanji got off the horse.

He turned his head to look at his third uncle, and then said in a low voice: "The third uncle's enemy is current, we must not be sloppy, in order to fight for more benefits for Daming, I plan to go with him, but if I don't come out after a few hours, if you feel that something is wrong, immediately pull the red-clothed cannon and fire the cannon inside." ”

Zhu Gaosui also knew that at this time, he couldn't drop the chain for Zhu Zhanji.

Because once the chain is dropped, it will damage the dignity of the Ming Dynasty and the interests of the Ming Dynasty.

King Zhao nodded and sneered, "Big nephew, do you still know how to call me third uncle." ”

"Call me Uncle Sheng when you want me, and call my third brother when you don't want me."

"Go, go, if you don't come out within four hours, I'll shoot it!"

Zhu Zhanji was relieved, he nodded and said, "Okay." ”
