While everyone in Japan feels that they have suffered a loss, there is a group of people who have been reused.

Kuga Yoritsu, who fired the first shot against the Ming Dynasty before, was directly appointed by the emperor as the Zuoben Bureau, similar to the Ming Dynasty's supervision of the imperial history, and was responsible for inspecting the official position of hundreds of officials' words and deeds.

Yoshihiro Ouchi also went from being a wanted criminal that everyone shouted at to becoming the left minister after the prime minister.

A discerning person can see at a glance that Yoshihiro Ouchi is a tool used by Emperor Kanhito to contain Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.

The reason why Emperor Kanhito arranged this way was not because of a whim, but because Ashikaga Yoshimitsu had always been at odds with Yoshihiro Ouchi.

Therefore, he arranged for Yoshihiro Ouchi to be the left minister, just to let him directly enter the cabinet that was about to be formed.

Yoshihiro Ouchi also understood his own value very well and strongly supported all the reforms of the emperor.

Within 10 days of taking office, he arrested dozens of disobedient officials and put them all in prison.

For a time, there was a lot of noise in Kyoto, Japan, and everyone was in danger.

In particular, those officials who were close to the Ming Dynasty suffered serious persecution, and many were even tortured to death.

Some of the officials who were not affected either succumbed to Emperor Kanhito's new policy, or ran to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu to cry and beg him to stand up and take charge of the situation again.

More radical officials directly persuaded Ashikaga Yoshimitsu to replace the emperor.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu listened to the cries of these people, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

Seeing this, a scripture heir couldn't help but persuade again.

"General, why don't you obey everyone's wishes and replace the fool who doesn't know anything but shouts slogans!"

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu scolded when he heard this.

"Yaga!"

"How can you say such a great rebellion?"

"I, Ashikaga, also come from the emperor's lineage, and I swear to protect the emperor's dignity to the death!"

When Ichijo saw Ashikaga Yoshimitsu say this, he couldn't help but feel unjust for him.

"General, you are loyal to the emperor, but people have always been worried about you."

"Look at Yoshihiro Ouchi's face, he takes soldiers to arrest people on the street all day long, and it is said that more than 100 people have died in his hands!"

"If this continues, Japan will be in complete chaos!"

Speaking of Ouchi Yoshihiro, Ashikaga Yoshihiro's face unabashedly leaked a look of disdain and displeasure.

"Don't worry, this is a villain, General Ben can kill him with just one word!"

When the people around heard this, they all made a big fuss.

"The general is wise!"

"Please uphold justice, punish the traitors, and return peace to Japan!"

The next day, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu wore a katana and armor to the temple.

His sudden behavior not only frightened the civil officials, but also frightened the emperor.

"Why did Ashikaga Shogun go to the temple in armor, but did something happen?"

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu heard this, but just replied lightly.

"Your Majesty, are we going to give Da Ming a letter of state, explaining the reasons why we didn't leave?"

"This ......"

As soon as Ashikaga Yoshimitsu said this, both those who supported and opposed the emperor fell silent.

Japan has shouted the slogan of driving the Ming people out of Japan, and now they are afraid of offending the Ming Dynasty, and they want to explain to the Ming in person why they ran?

No matter how you look at it, it's a joke, but for Ganren and Xicheng, who have been in Daming for a few years, this is not funny at all.

Because according to the comparison of strength, it is really necessary for them to apologize and give Da Ming a step.

Otherwise, the Ming Dynasty will be annoyed, and they will fight at all costs, and it will be Japan that suffers in the end.

Emperor Kanhito agreed to the matter only after a brief hesitation.

"Yes!"

"I'm going to draft a letter to explain to Da Ming the reason for secretly leaving."

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu spoke again.

"Your Majesty, Wechen has already thought of a reason for you."

"You can reply to Daming like this, saying that you are in a hurry to return to China just to deal with the riots in the country and arrest the rebellious Yoshihiro Ouchi, Jiuga Laitong and others who offended Daming."

"In order to gain the trust of the Ming Dynasty, Wechen suggests that you send their heads and letters together."

Yoshihiro Ouchi, who was sitting in the position of the emperor's hand, was blown up when he heard this, and he knew that this was the result, and he might as well stay in North Korea and be a person with no name and no surname.

Yoshihiro Ouchi is worthy of being a hero, even if he learned that he was about to be sold, he still asked Ashikaga Yoshimitsu very calmly.

"Dare to ask General Ashikaga, even if His Majesty can give my head to Daming, but you drove away Daming's garrison in Kyoto and sent troops to besiege Iwami Castle, these two things are always true, right?"

"And after you entered the city, you wantonly looted the shops of the Ming people, and slaughtered the natives who worked for the Ming people, which is also true, right?"

"If the Ming Emperor blames him for these things, I'm afraid that just my Ouchi Yoshihiro's head can't calm his anger, and I have to add the general's head!"

As soon as Yoshihiro Ouchi said this, everyone looked at Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and looked forward to how he responded.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was also very depressed by Yoshihiro Ouchi's rebellion, he never thought that Yoshihiro Ouchi, a reckless man, would have such a sharp side and be able to say such heart-wrenching words in such a short time.

But what kind of person is Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, he almost became the emperor!

"General Ben naturally has something to say!"

"First of all, General Ben did not kill the Ming soldiers, nor did he kill a Ming businessman."

"Secondly, General Ben did not make it clear that he wanted to drive the Ming people out, and it was they who evacuated from Kyoto themselves."

"In the end, whatever General Ben did, he did was at the behest of His Majesty the Emperor."

"When you say this, don't you want His Majesty the Emperor to go to Daming to ask for guilt?"

Yoshihiro Ouchi hurriedly bowed his head to confess his guilt.

"Wechen has no disrespect for His Majesty the Emperor, it's all a crime added to General Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's desire, please see from His Majesty the Emperor!"

Emperor Kanhito nodded his head in knowledge when he heard this, and then looked at Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and asked.

"Ashikaga General, now is the time for us to employ people, so we don't have to do this kind of thing where the enemy is quick and the relatives are painful."

"Yoshihiro Ouchi will never be handed over to the Ming Dynasty, if we want Japan to rise and work hard, we need a person of insight like Yoshihiro Ouchi."

"Let's think of some other way to eliminate the anger of the Ming Dynasty, such as giving them more gold and silver every year......"

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu suddenly felt a chill in his heart when he heard this, he could see that the emperor's reform of the government was fake, and it was true for him, a general.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Your Majesty is dictatorial, there is no need to discuss such a trivial matter with your subordinates, and your subordinates will leave first."

After Ashikaga Yoshimitsu said this, he left with his entourage, not caring about the faces of the others.

After he left, Yoshihiro Ouchi took the lead in speaking out.

"It's too arrogant!"

"I didn't take His Majesty the Emperor seriously at all!"

"If Your Majesty does not give up, Weichen is willing to take the initiative to ask for Ying and offer Ashikaga Yoshimitsu to His Majesty!"

Emperor Ganhito scolded on the spot when he heard this.

"Shut up!"

"Ashikaga Shogun has made great contributions to the country, how can he be insulted like this!"

"If you say that like this again, I'll be unkind to you!"

Emperor Kanhito said righteous words in the court, but after retiring from the court, he called Ouchi Yoshihiro to the secret room.

"Yoshihiro Ouchi, how sure are you if you assassinate Ashikaga Yoshimitsu?"

"Back to Your Majesty, if Wechen wants to assassinate Ashikaga General, Wechen is at least nine points sure!"

"What?"

Emperor Kanhito thought that Yoshihiro Ouchi was just talking and playing, but Na Cheng thought that this guy had such a big grasp.

"Tell me more!"

"Yes!"

"Wechen and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu have long been at odds, therefore, Wechen has long privately cultivated dead soldiers, and arranged his own people around Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and now Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's favorite concubine is the killer he secretly cultivated......"

"I see......"

After Emperor Kanhito finished talking with Yoshihiro Ouchi, he ordered someone to call in Kuga Yoritsu and ask him about the attitude of his clan.

Although he was expelled from the public family by the Kyoto public family because of his opposition to the Ming Dynasty, his parents, brothers and relatives are all in the public circle and have a strong influence on the entire circle.

"Back to Your Majesty, the public family is divided into two factions. One faction worships the Ming Dynasty and thinks that Japan should serve the Ming Dynasty with all its heart. The other faction, like Weichen, feels that if we want Japan to be strong, we must get rid of the control of the Ming Dynasty! ”

The emperor's face was full of confusion when he heard this.

"How many people are there in each of the two factions?"

"Back to Your Majesty, half to half, the younger ones basically have the same ideas as Weichen, and the older ones firmly support the Ming Dynasty and are not optimistic about our current national policy."

Hearing this, the Emperor nodded and said.

"I know, I ask you another question, if Ashikaga Yoshimitsu suddenly dies, will the public support me, or will they support Ashikaga Yoshimitsu?"

For a long time, I relied on the words of the firm word.

"Naturally, I support Your Majesty!"

"The public family has always been unaccustomed to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, this is a thing known to the world!"

"Although the public family is now estranged from His Majesty because of His Majesty's reforms, after all, they have been guarding His Majesty's side for generations, and they will definitely stand with His Majesty when they encounter major matters of right and wrong."

"Oooh oh ......"

"Since you say that, then I know what to do."

Xiangguoji Deer Garden.

Although Ashikaga Yoshimitsu gave up becoming a monk, he still chose to live in the temple.

This is partly because of his belief in Buddhism, and partly because of the extraordinary influence that temples have in Japan.

Living in a temple is basically enough to ensure adequate security.

On this day, he recruited his favorite concubine Ikejiri Hall to sleep, but unexpectedly, after a night of wind and rain, he couldn't afford to fall ill the next day.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu knew that his life was short, so he urgently summoned the three leaders and handed over the matter after his death.

"After I die, I must go to Da Ming and show my loyalty to Da Ming......"

"Immediately force the emperor to hold a children's hall and let Ashikaga Yoshitsugu gain a firm foothold in the court......"

"In the end, you will obey Ashikaga Yoshinori and assist him as faithfully as you did to me......"

The three leaders of the three pipes, Sibo, Hosokawa, and Hatakeyama, nodded heavily when they heard this, and then went separately to prepare.

Spo directly led the team into the palace and expressed Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's wishes to Emperor Kanhito.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, my general wants to hold a Tong Palace, please give your permission!"

When the emperor heard this, he was first shocked, and then delighted.

The Tongden Shojo has been held only a handful of times in the entire history of Japan, and if it is not currently held, it may only be held once in history.

Generally speaking, the Tong Palace is the old minister's deathbed to support the orphan, that is, to let his heirs take over in advance before he dies.

Now Ashikaga Yoshimitsu suddenly made this request, which may prove that his life is short.

But as soon as the smile on the emperor's face rippled, he felt the cold gaze of the two Dao Sen, and his neck hurt when he saw it.

"Your Majesty, please pay attention to the meter!"

Emperor Kanhito immediately realized that something was wrong and hurriedly restrained the smile on his face, but his heart was already turbulent.

Yoshihiro Ouchi really succeeded!

"Please tell Ashikaga Shogun, I will immediately order someone to prepare, and ...... in three days"

Spo interrupted Emperor Kanhito before he could finish speaking.

"No way!"

"Prepare today!"

"Prepare now, it's going to be held at noon!"

"This ......"

Emperor Kanhito said with a look of embarrassment.

"Your Excellency Si Bo doesn't know that the Hundred Officials will be summoned at the Tong Palace, and a lot of items must be prepared......

Spo only responded coldly to Ganren's statement.

"It's all simple!"

"If you can gather a few, what is the use of things!"

When Emperor Kanhito saw the other party say this, he could only agree to it.

"Good!"

"General Spoo go and prepare, I will fully cooperate!"

Under the vigorous promotion of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the ceremony at the Tong Hall took only two hours from preparation to end.

Ashikaga Yoshitsugu successfully sought the position of three senators in the Tong Palace, and became the top of the public family in one fell swoop.

On the other hand, Ashikaga Yoshinori was also holding a succession ceremony, taking over the position of general that had been passed down for several generations, officially replacing his father Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and becoming the supreme leader of the Japanese army.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu died in a disturbing wail after seeing that his two sons were arranged, at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve.

Emperor Kanhito held a very grand funeral for Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and gave him the honorific title of Tenzan Doriku in Rokuenin.

After dealing with Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's funeral, Emperor Kanhito returned to the palace and formed a cabinet, and made Ashikaga Yoshinori the first assistant to the cabinet and Yoshihiro Ouchi to serve as the second assistant to the cabinet.

As for the full imitation of the Ming official system, Emperor Kanhito suspended the execution.

In the name of the emperor, he only sent an official letter to the guardian of the Ming Dynasty, saying that the first imperial examination would be held in a month, and calling on the talented people of the Ming Dynasty to participate.

However, on the day of the exam, Emperor Kanhito was surprised to find that ninety percent of the young people who came to take the exam were children of public families, and very few were actually born in commoners.

It was only then that he realized how difficult it was to fully emulate the Ming Dynasty.

Because Japan doesn't have the foundation of the Ming Dynasty at all, there are not so many scholars at all!

Emperor Kanhito held the imperial examination with his nose pinched and personally served as the chief examiner.

Although the significance of the imperial examination has expired, Emperor Kanhito still used this imperial examination as the basis for the ranking of each family, and in this way, he broke the hereditary system of the public family for thousands of years, which can be regarded as a great improvement.

After the imperial examination, although some families were dissatisfied, more families took advantage of the imperial examination and instead supported the emperor's new policy.

After all, the more prestigious the position, the smaller the number.

The imperial examination broke the hereditary status of official positions, thus giving the lower princes more room to rise, and they were certainly happy to support it.

If it follows normal development, the hereditary family of the Japanese clan will become an internal involution of the public family after the addition of the imperial examination.

In this way, all public families will depend on the emperor and become the emperor's most loyal supporters.

If Emperor Kanhito had been given 20 years, he might not have been able to achieve the great rejuvenation of Japan.

However, just before Emperor Kanhito's ass was hot, he heard a bad news that shocked everyone.

"Your Majesty, Great ...... Da Ming beats ...... It's coming......"
