Ashikaga Yoshimochi is quite caring, because he at least found a messenger who can speak Chinese, so that there will be no problems in communication.

Sometimes, though, this may not be a good thing.

"Wait a minute!" Zhu Zhanyan listened to two sentences, felt that something was not right, and stopped the envoy's statement.

And at this time, a very strange smile also appeared on Zhu Zhanyan's face.

It seems to be laughing but not laughing, but it is also a bit of crying and laughing.

"You shoguns mean to let us withdraw our troops, and also let us declare to the outside world that we are not enemies of your shogunate's regular army, and retreat in defeat."

"That's what you mean, right? Or is there something wrong with my understanding? ”

"Honorable Highness the Prince, our Ashikaga Shogun does hope that you can do this, but we will also compensate the Honorable Highness the Prince."

The messenger of the shogunate lowered his head, his body trembling uncontrollably, but he could only bite the bullet and continue.

"Before that, you might as well take a look at this list of compensation issued by our Ashikaga general, our general is very sincere."

"Oh? What sincerity is there? Zhu Zhanyan didn't know what to say for a while.

He really let Ashikaga Yoshinori give it to the whole pleasure.

"Let's declare to the outside world that we are defeated and returned, and then give some so-called compensation to fool us, what compensation can be worth the impact of the so-called defeat of our Ming army?"

"His Royal Highness!" The envoy was obviously in a hurry, because if the peace talks were not successful, then he would most likely have to send it.

"Our general is really sincere, and the previous invasion of the Ming Sea Frontier by the rogues really has nothing to do with our general, it is all spontaneously organized by some homeless people, and there is also the younger brother of our shogun."

"You may not know it, but the younger brother of our shogun, he ......"

"Stop!" Zhu Zhanyan directly stretched out his hand to stop.

"I'm not interested in the inside you, it's a war now, and it's a national war, and your honorable shogun is going to fool me like this?"

As he spoke, Zhu Zhanyan carried the compensation list with a smile.

"That's what you're compensating for? Sending a meal away? ”

"Let me ask you a question, Iwami's silver mountain can produce a million taels of silver a year, plus we don't need our own people to be miners, which means that we only need to be stationed here, and there is no other expenditure."

"I'll give you one more step, based on the fact that our Ming army can only be stationed in Iwami for twenty years, how much silver is this?"

"But how much compensation did your so-called shogun give us? And let's pay for a bad reputation of defeat? ”

"His Royal Highness!" The messenger trembled like chaff, but still had to keep his composure.

"Our shogun is really sincere, and the content on this list is only compensation for the withdrawal of your army this time, and we will pay three times as much tribute every year in the future......"

"Get out!" Zhu Zhanyan unceremoniously threw the compensation list in the face of the messenger.

"I didn't even mention this, and you dare to mention it to me?"

"Is your tribute in previous years a tribute? Every year, we take a little bit of rags in exchange for our Ming reward, we don't pursue you, but you should still deserve it? ”

"Three? What's the use of triple!? ”

"Even if it's three times, and then remove the reward that our Ming Dynasty gives you, how many sons will you give us a year?"

"World ...... His Royal Highness ...... the prince, "Zhu Zhanyan's oil and salt did not enter, which made the envoy a little overwhelmed.

"This ...... Guijun hasn't been home for more than a year, and there are also ...... Belch...... There were also some casualties......"

"At this time...... Withdrawing from the army is ...... for both of us It's all good! ”

"And ......"

"And what?" Zhu Zhanyan looked at the messenger with a smile, he thought it was quite interesting at this time.

"And we, the shogun, promise!" The messenger gritted his teeth and forced himself to compose.

"The so-called defeat is only nominal, and we will guarantee that this news will not reach anywhere but our Wa Kingdom!"

"Come on!" Zhu Zhan sneered.

"Don't pass it on? Don't be funny! ”

"Maybe after this battle, you won't dare to brush Daming's beard for a long time, but who in your country doesn't know?"

"If you don't intrude on the Ming Dynasty, will you not intrude on North Korea? What about the Kingdom of the Ryukyus? ”

"Didn't you shogun add this request to the peace talks because you wanted to stabilize your position and avoid being ousted by his younger brother after the war?"

"To what extent will this news be disseminated at that time, others don't know, do you know? Do you think I know? ”

After speaking, Zhu Zhanyan cocked Erlang's legs and looked at the messenger with contempt.

"From the content of the peace talks to the so-called compensation list, I have not seen any sincerity on the part of your shogun, if you just want to send me away like this, then I also ask you to bring a message to your shogun."

"It's good to have a dream, but there's a difference between a dream and a wishful thinking!"

"His Royal Highness!" The messenger looked completely out of proportion, and in a panic he knelt and took a few steps forward.

"If you have the conditions, you can still talk, we are very sincere......"

Bite~

The sudden turn of the situation caught everyone by surprise, and the envoy of the Japanese kingdom completed the transformation from begging for mercy on his knees to violent murderous intent in less than a breath.

It's just that he failed to break through Zhu Ling and Zhu Ping's guards.

"It's really interesting......" Zhu Zhanyan spat very disdainfully.

"Do you have to let a warrior disguise himself as a messenger, do you really think that Lao Tzu can't see it?"

"Zhu Ling! Send someone to Tamba! Let them take a good look! ”

"Yes!"

Zhu Ling immediately received the order, and he was also very brutal in his movements, he directly picked up the dagger dropped by the messenger, plunged it into the messenger's chest, and then dragged it out.

As the curtain of the tent opened, the soldiers around the tent avoided in a bit of panic.

However, there were too many people, and curiosity was a source of curiosity, and many people saw the dagger stuck in the chest of the envoy of the Japanese kingdom.

"What's that?" Tan Zhong's eyes were sharp, and he reacted quickly, so he was the first to ask.

"Zhu Ling and Zhu Ping don't seem to have this kind of dagger, right? Could it be that our Highness has done it? ”

"Isn't it? Our Highness doesn't seem to have the habit of carrying weapons with him, I remember that if it weren't for the commander of the battle array, His Royal Highness the Prince wouldn't even want to carry a saber, right? ”

"I remember ...... too" Li Bin's eyes narrowed, and a dangerous glint gleamed in the slit between his eyelids.

"His Royal Highness the Prince said that this saber is too heavy, and he doesn't like it very much......"

There are hundreds of people around, there is no shortage of sharp-eyed people, and the news naturally spreads quickly, and the 100,000 people of the Ming army can always find a few flexible brains.

Before even half an hour arrived, the envoys of the Japanese state could not negotiate, and the news of the intention to assassinate Zhu Zhanyan spread quickly throughout the army.

The morale of the Ming army is like a rainbow, and the scale of the Beijing Temple has just been built, which is unprecedented, so it can be said that every soldier of the Ming army has a murderous aura.

Now that I get this news again, the Ming army camp will be blown up immediately.

Zhu Zhanyan felt the noisy atmosphere created by the soldiers outside the camp tent, and the corners of his mouth rose.

The assassination is not known if this was an impulsive act by the envoy who knew that he would die if the peace talks failed, or if it was an order given to him by Ashikaga Yoshinori.

Either way, it's not a smart choice.

Not to mention the Ming army that killed hundreds of thousands of enemies in the Wa Kingdom, even if it was replaced by the most ordinary army, after learning that the supreme general had been assassinated, it would be excited, and the morale would rise by more than one level.

What's more, these Ming troops who are now on Wadao are comparable to ordinary armies?

——

Ying Tianfu, Chang'an Street.

A mansion usually has different effects because of the different plaques at the door, and this mansion in front of you is.

Jiefu.

Today's Xie Mansion is a little different from usual, because Xie Jin is in charge of the compilation and revision of the Yongle Canon, so he is still quite busy, and he can be regarded as the busiest group of people in the Ming Dynasty.

And today, Xie Jin not only did not go out, but also gathered a lot of people at home.

Huang Huai, Hu Yan, Jin Youzi, as well as Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong and Yang Pu, who were later called the three Yangs of the cabinet, are all there.

Except for Hu Guang, who resigned and returned to his hometown, all the scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion of the Yongle Dynasty have arrived.

"Let's have my say." Xie Jin, as the host, sat down after pouring tea for everyone in turn, and was the first to speak.

"The momentum of the Han Dynasty is growing day by day, and now it has brought back grain with a yield several times that of rice and wheat per mu, not to mention that it is in full swing, but it already has the momentum of being comparable to His Royal Highness the Prince, and even faintly surpasses."

"The king of Han is in the line, the king of Han himself is close to the generals, far away from our Wenchen, the prince of the Han is a warlike and murderous person, if the king of Han ascends to the throne, what will be the result for our Wenchen, I don't need to repeat it."

"Now, it is the time when the prince of the Han Dynasty is conquering the Wa Kingdom, and I got the news a few days ago that the prince of the Han Dynasty has built a Jingguan in Shinji Lake in the Wa Kingdom, and the number of people has reached a terrifying 300,000 people, and it is even very likely to be more."

"I think it's an opportunity for us."

After Xie Jin finished speaking, he glanced at the other five people, hoping to get some support that was at least verbal.

However, to his disappointment, no one spoke first.

In fact, Xie Jin didn't know that if it weren't for Zhu Zhanyan, he would have been in prison at this time.

Xie Jin's experience in the Yongle Dynasty was not so smooth.

In the fifth year of Yongle, Xie Jin was demoted to the right senator of the Guangxi Political Department for the crime of "unfair reading of the court examination papers".

In the sixth year of Yongle, Xie Jin was framed by Li Zhigang, and was relegated to the right senator of Jiaozhi Buzheng on the charge of "participating in the struggle between princes", and supervised Huazhou.

In the eighth year of Yongle in history, Xie Jin entered Beijing because of an incident, and it was the emperor's northern expedition, and Xie Jin returned after meeting the crown prince.

Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, seized this opportunity, and said that he would wait until the emperor traveled, visited the prince in private, and returned directly, without the courtesy of a minister.

Zhu Di was furious, arrested Xie Jin and put him in prison, and tortured him to the extreme.

And now, Zhu Gaoxu was very happy because his son was valued by the old man in the Northern Expedition, so he did not engage in the historical one, and Xie Jin was also preserved, and even returned to the cabinet to take charge of the compilation and revision of the Yongle Canon.

As the so-called good words are hard to persuade the damned ghosts, some people are just dead, and no one can stop them.

However, Xie Jin's head is not clear, which does not mean that others are not clear either.

"I won't express my opinion on this matter." After a long silence, Jin Youzi was the first to stand up.

"I had a dispute with the prince of Han during the Northern Expedition before, but it happened that Everbright was more eye-catching than me, so Everbright was forced to resign and return to his hometown, and I was lucky to be saved."

"In this matter, I am not very easy to speak, let alone intervene, because in the case of the Northern Expedition, almost as long as it involves the prince of Han, people will think of me, just like the last time in front of His Royal Highness the Prince."

"So, in order not to be overly concerned, and for everyone's sake, I won't participate."

"Please also forgive your sins, and leave first."

After speaking, Jin Youzi didn't give Xie Jin a chance to speak, directly picked up the tea and drank it all, arched his hand to everyone, and walked away directly.

"I'm just like Youzi." If someone takes the lead, someone will naturally follow.

After Jin Youzi, Yang Rong also stood up.

"Last time, Your Majesty drove the expedition in person, let Guangda, Youzi and I go on the expedition, and the three of us all had some quarrels with the prince of Han, among which Guangda was the most eye-catching, followed by Youzi, and finally me."

"Perhaps, it is more difficult for me than Youzi, because I had an argument with the prince of Han in front of His Majesty."

"In order not to cause trouble to everyone, I will not participate, please forgive me."

After speaking, Yang Rong also took the teacup and drank it all, and turned around and left cleanly.

A total of six people were invited, and two of them ran away at the beginning, which made Xie Jin a little discouraged.

However, although there is an impact, Xie Jin's mood has not changed very much, because he has been thinking about today's small gathering for a long time.

He can not care about everything before, as long as the crown prince stabilizes his position, he, a cabinet member, and also took the lead in compiling the Yongle Grand Canon, can make him worry-free for the rest of his life.

But not anymore.

The impact of potatoes is too great, and it is an exaggeration to say that this can be said to be the reincarnation of Shennong among the people.

This can't help but make Xie Jin nervous.

"Four, we're the only ones left." Xie Jin took a deep breath and looked at Huang Huai, Hu Yan, Yang Pu and Yang Shiqi.

"What the situation is, I have already said very clearly, everyone can get to this position today is also a little capable, and we can clearly see the impact that future changes may bring to us."

"I think it may be a little difficult to ......" After Jin Youzi and Yang Rong, Huang Huai spoke thirdly.

It's just that when he opened his mouth, he brought a full atmosphere of depression.

"I went to Xia Yuanji before to try to get his support, but everyone knows that Xia Yuanji doesn't care about this."

"Later, I tried to find Zhou Xin, who was originally appointed as the head of the Han Dynasty's mansion, this person is also known to everyone, who is selfless and impartial, no matter what he does."

"Surprisingly, though, he rejected me too."

"So ......"

Huang Huai didn't continue, but sighed deeply.
