Iwami Castle Inn.

Li Jin heard Suzuki Shigehide's question, and said with a smile:

"We don't know anything about this letter."

"As for how this letter came here, we can't even know."

"Your Wajima is not a big place, but there are two imperial courts. One is Emperor Daigo, who holds the three artifacts of your Amaterasu in his hands. ”

"There is another one, which is the Muromachi Shogunate formed by your Ashikaga family, and the emperor is just your puppet."

"No matter how you look at it, none of your Ashikaga families have Emperor Daigo's right."

"We, the Ming Dynasty, are the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, so we naturally came here to set things right, and we are here to uphold justice because of the miasma on your island."

Li Jin's words, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and Suzuki Shigemu's faces sank.

In any case, Emperor Daigo is a veritable emperor with three artifacts in his hands, and no matter how powerful the Muromachi shogunate is, it is not justifiable.

"Besides, your Northern Dynasty doesn't seem to be very welcoming to our Ming Dynasty, and you don't even have any sincerity at all."

Li Jin changed his words and suddenly said:

"Emperor Daigo, you are much more sincere than you, before we arrived on Wajima, Emperor Daigo promised to lease Iwami Province to us Daming!"

"Your Ashikaga family verbally asked for our Ming support, but it was a dime, and it was clear that we were wronged by the Ming Dynasty."

"For this situation, who do we not hit you?"

"We can also be sincere."

Shigehide Suzuki seemed to be enlightened, and immediately said loudly:

"We are even willing to lease the entire Saikaido to you, and we only hope that you can help us to exterminate the puppet dynasty."

"Emperor Daigo is nothing more than a deposed emperor of the former dynasty who took advantage of the chaos to escape, and his existence has seriously affected the peace of Wajima."

"A few years ago, the Ming Dynasty was established, and it was our Ashikaga family that sent a delegation to the Ming Dynasty to meet His Majesty the Ming Emperor, which shows that our Ashikaga family has always been committed to the Ming Dynasty."

"But the puppet dynasty has no intention of paying tribute to the Ming Dynasty, for so many years, the puppet dynasty has been disturbing the peace of Wajima, causing the people to live in poverty, I implore you to make us the masters."

Li Jin was about to laugh after hearing this, Saikaido is the Shikoku Island of Wajima, and the Satsuma Port that Li Jin misses is in Saikaido.

If you occupy the island of Hokaido, you will really have a nail in the heart of Wajima, and you can launch a devastating blow to Wajima at any time.

Just when Li Jin was happy, he suddenly noticed that a gaze was looking at him, and turned his head to look.

I found that the young man who followed Shigehide Suzuki was actually looking at him without blinking.

Li Jin didn't feel a little funny, and asked:

"What's this name?"

"This is the grandson of the head of our Ashikaga family, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu."

Shigehide Suzuki hurriedly replied, and then motioned for Ashikaga Yoshimitsu to salute Lee.

"Yoshimitsu has seen the envoys of the Celestial Empire."

"You're Ashikaga Yoshimitsu?"

Li Jin's voice suddenly rose, as if he had heard a terrible name, startling both Shigemu Suzuki and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.

I didn't understand why Li Jin was so excited, but Li Jin began to look up and down at this young man named Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.

Bald head, round face, mustache, medium height, nothing outstanding, only surprisingly bright eyes, showing the extraordinaryness of young people.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is not as famous in history as Oda Nobunaga or Toyotomi Hideyoshi, but this does not mean that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is not as great as these two people.

As long as you have watched the cartoon of the monk Ikkyu, you should know that there is a general in the monk Ikkyu, and that general is Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.

In history, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu can be said to have left a strong mark.

The division of the Northern and Southern Dynasties of Wajima ended at the hands of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and the Ashikaga family, who were originally suppressed by the Southern Dynasty, were breathless.

After Ashikaga Yoshimitsu ascended to the position of the general of the expedition, he fought in the south and the north, won many battles, and finally reversed the situation.

forced the emperor of the Southern Dynasty to send someone to sue for peace, and finally sacrificed the three artifacts of Amaterasu and abdicated to make way for Xian.

In the end, the Northern and Southern Dynasties reconciled, and the Muromachi shogunate held power under the leadership of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and completely pushed the Ashikaga family to the top.

In addition, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu also attached great importance to maritime trade, and the trade with the Ming Dynasty made Ashikaga Yoshinaga very profitable.

During the Yongle period, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu even sent envoys to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and was finally named the king of Wajima by Zhu Di, who was unknown.

All kinds of phenomena show that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu wanted to take the opportunity to abolish the emperor's throne and then establish himself as king, no longer satisfied with just a mere general.

If Ashikaga Yoshimitsu succeeds in usurping the throne, then the emperor system, which has been inherited from Wajima for thousands of years, will become history completely.

Unfortunately, in the end, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu died of a serious illness and failed to become the king of his dreams.

However, the Muromachi shogunate ruled by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu did last for more than a hundred years, and finally perished at the hands of Oda Nobunaga.

This is enough to show that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is extraordinary.

"I am indeed Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, do you know me?"

Li Jin shook his head with a smile and said:

"I don't know, just ask."

For people like Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, Li Jin is naturally very wary in his heart.

As the saying goes, his peach is my arsenic, his hero, my enemy.

Li Jin was even thinking in his heart, how to kill this Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu saw that Li Jin was still smiling, but for some reason, he felt a little creepy, and his hairs stood upside down.

"You said that you can lease Saikaido to us Daming, are you serious?"

Li Jin didn't have time to deal with this Ashikaga Yoshimitsu for the time being, so he would better talk about the actual benefits first.

"My lord, it's true."

Seeing that Li Jin seemed to be very interested in Saikaido, Shigehide Suzuki couldn't help but be overjoyed and said:

"As long as the adults can help us destroy the rebel dynasty, we will never break our word."

Li Jin sneered in his heart, it seems that this Ashikaga family really doesn't cry when they don't see the coffin, and they are still playing with their hearts and minds to this day.

Destroy the puppet dynasty before leasing the West Sea Road to the Ming Dynasty?

This is really taking Da Ming for a fool!

However, Li Jin was silent on his face, and still said with a smile:

"In that case, then you go back and wait first, I need to ask the emperor for instructions."

"If the emperor agrees to your request, Lord Ben will definitely help you exterminate the puppet dynasty."

"In that case, thank you, sir."

Suzuki Shigehide looked a little happy, took out a few gold leaves from his sleeve and handed them to Li Jin, and whispered:

"There is Lord Lao, if the matter is done, the ministers will also have a heavy gift to thank you."

Li Jin gently checked it, and sure enough, he was as stingy as ever, and said casually:

"Then you should step back first."

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu seemed to remember something, and hurriedly said:

"My lord, I don't know if you can let us go to the street and stay in the post house every day, it's really depressing."

Li Jin was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile:

"Now that the army is in chaos, Iwami Castle has not been completely settled, and it is safer for the envoy to stay in the post house."

"When I come next time, I'll be able to wander around the streets at will, and don't go out now."

Seeing Li Jin's refusal, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu wanted to say more, but was stopped by Suzuki Shigehide, so he had no choice but to bow down, and then slowly left the living room.

After leaving the meeting room, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu directly asserted:

"This Ming envoy will not agree to our request at all."

Shigehide Suzuki frowned and asked:

"Why? Aren't the conditions of Saikaido tempting enough? ”

"If he wants to agree to our proposal, he won't even refuse to let us out."

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu said earnestly:

"Someone must have offered more tempting terms than ours."

Shigehide Suzuki's heart jumped, and he instantly remembered Emperor Daigo.

But now that he has returned to the post station from the meeting room, even if he wants to go out, he has no chance, so he has no choice but to go back and think of a way first, and wait for Daming's reply.

And just after the two left, at the screen behind Li Jin, a person came out, with a gloomy face, and it was Emperor Daigo's favorite minister, Takami Jiro.
