Is Yuan Bin's words arrogant?

In fact, no, because on the ground of Japan, Yuan Bin really has the final say whether the place is chaotic or not.

Has Yuan Bin lost his sense of obedience? No, because this is the main purpose of His Majesty’s canonization of Yuan Bin as the Duke of Shanye.

A Japanese country controlled by Ming people would be more in line with the interests of Ming Dynasty.

Yuan Bin silently watched the group of scholars heading towards the official residence, shook his head and said, "Let's get ready to meet the Emperor of Japan again."

The actual rulers of the Japanese country were the daimyo and guardian dais of various places; in the official documents, the rulers were the Muromachi shogunate of the Japanese country and Ashikaga Yoshimasa, the general who conquered barbarians; but the nominal supreme ruler was the Emperor of the Back Garden.

In the official documents of the Japanese state, the two Chinese characters for "Tianzi" are used to refer to the emperor, which is clearly revealed. However, before the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty and the Battle of Yashan, the official titles of the emperor in the official documents of the Japanese state were all Japanese.

king.

It was after the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty that the Japanese state was renamed the Son of Heaven.

The reason why the situation in Japan is so complicated is because of the traditional arts and historical origins of Japan, which are used by the lower levels to overcome the superiors.

Yuan Bin has been active in the Japanese country for so many years, and he has long been accustomed to strange things.

After a lot of communication, the current Emperor of Japan's Back Garden finally decided to come to Jiecheng to meet Yuan Bin, who was confirmed to be a Ming Dynasty man.

This meeting is of extremely important significance, because in all the previous dynasties and the Central Plains dynasty's canonization of the Japanese country, the Japanese emperor never came to see the envoys. It was always the regent Guan Bai or the shogunate who came forward.

This negotiation has been in preparation for a long time.

The main reason for this meeting was that the political environment of the Japanese country was completely corrupted. The guardian daimyo was transforming into a warring states daimyo. The daimyo from all over the country were fighting against each other, and the people were in dire straits. In addition, the Ming Dynasty established a shipping department in the Japanese country. For various reasons, the Japanese country had recently appeared.

There is a majestic wind force, which is the wave of curtain collapse, and the force of the curtain collapse is getting stronger and stronger.

The Japanese people, from top to bottom, eagerly hoped that Japan could return to its original state. There was even a force that respected the emperor and sought treason, pushing the Emperor of the Back Garden to intervene in political affairs.

This time, the Emperor Zun Faction worked hard to help the emperor leave Kyoto and come to the border city of Honmaru Palace to hold a meeting with Mr. Yuan Gong of Yamano.

The demands of the Back Garden Emperor Hikohito are:

I hope that Mr. Yamano Yuan Gong will completely replace the Muromachi Shogunate and become the official ruler of the Japanese country, so that the political stability of the Japanese country can be restored and everyone can have a chance to breathe;

It is hoped that the Lord of the Mountains and Wilds can send troops to quell the disobedient landowners of all parties, wipe out those landowners who provoked a civil uprising, put an end to the rebellion, and finally bring peace to the world, restore the peace and tranquility of the Japanese country, and let the light of the sun and moon shine both at home and abroad;

I hope that I can become brothers with Yuan Bin, so that Yuan Bin's son can be adopted by the Emperor of the Garden, Hikohito, as his successor, and then succeed to the throne of the Emperor after the death of the Emperor of the Garden.

Youzi literally means the son of a brother, that is, a nephew or niece. The reason why it is not called this is because "The Analects of Confucius: Advances" says: Hui also regards Yu as the father of Yu, but Yu does not regard Yu as the son.

Youzi is equivalent to one's own son, and also has the meaning of heir in the Japanese country.

In short, this time the Emperor of the Back Garden rarely came out to participate in politics and met with the largest power holder in Japan, which aroused the keen attention of all parties.

"What is Ashikaga Yoshimasa doing?" Li Bing said with a solemn expression. It was a life-and-death meeting involving the Muromachi shogunate. The general of the Muromachi shogunate should have reacted.

Yuan Bin said with a complex expression: "Ashikaga Yoshimasa was addicted to Sarenaku and banquets and could not extricate himself. He handed over all state affairs to Yin Shizhen and Ji Qiongzhenxin."

"The two Yin Shi Zhenqin and Ji Qiong Zhenxin are also interesting. You sang and I went on stage, and they put on a good show. The famous people from all over the country were extremely dissatisfied with Yin Shi Zhenqin, so Yin Shi Zhenqin just walked down the slope.

He was replaced by Ji Qiong Zhenxin, the deacon of the political office."

"As a result, after Ji Qiong Zhenxin worked for more than a month, there was more opposition, and Yin Shizhen became the deacon of the political office again."

Li Bing thought about it for a long time and said: "Is it possible that Ashikaga Yoshimasa is deliberately showing off his appearance to paralyze our vigilance against him, and then hide in the dark to bite us?"

"If it were anyone else, I might think so, but with Ashikaga Yoshimasa, there is really no such possibility." Yuan Bin's expression became more complicated.

On the battlefield, it is a taboo for military strategists to underestimate their opponents. It is a mistake that anyone who leads troops in war must avoid. A lion fights a rabbit with all his strength. This is a truth that even His Majesty understands.

Yuan Bin did not want to underestimate Ashikaga Yoshimasa, but Ashikaga Yoshimasa despised himself. Now the situation in the Japanese country has reached the point where the emperor leaves the palace and goes to the border city to see Yuan Bin instead of Yuan Bin going to Luo. Ashikaga Yoshimasa is still here

While having fun, he also played the trick of changing the "deacon of the political office" in the court.

Ashikaga Yoshimasa's main energy was still manipulating power, which was very similar to Emperor Kenbun.

In the fourth year of Jianwen, Xu Huizu defeated the Yan king Zhu Di at Qimei Mountain and beheaded Li Bin. As a result, it was rumored in Nanya Kyoto that the Yan army had retreated and had retreated. Emperor Jianwen recalled Xu Huizu, which made He Fu and Ping An in Lingbi unable to survive alone.

In the end, it led to the Battle of Lingbi, where Lord Jianwen was defeated. King Yan's army marched southward to the capital, and King Yan became the emperor, becoming the only successful example of a vassal king's rebellion in all dynasties.

Why did King Jianwen recall Xu Huizu? After all, he was still a civil servant in the court, and he was worried about political manipulation by Wu Xun who led the troops outside and had too much power.

During the war, if you are still addicted to political struggles and cannot extricate yourself, the war will inevitably fail.

"Isn't it possible that he is trying his luck?" Li Bing was still a little worried.

"Even if he is trying his best, as long as we don't neglect our precautions, it will be fine." Yue Qian said: "Whatever you can't get on the battlefield is in vain."

Yue Qian experienced all the games in the Battle of the Capital, and his first failure in the Battle of the Capital forced him to return the throne to the Supreme Emperor Jili King and return to the capital.

Victory or defeat on the battlefield determines the distribution of benefits.

King Yan ascended the throne as emperor, not because King Yan pretended to be crazy and acted stupidly in the Yan Mansion, but because King Yan defeated Lord Jianwen's army time and time again, and finally got the throne.

"That's true. Let's prepare to meet the Emperor of the Back Garden." Li Bing nodded and acknowledged Yue Qian's words. This is the Japanese country, a purgatory on earth, a Japanese country where heroes are swarming. Here, the biggest reason is to have a big fist.

In the early morning of the next day, when the sky was dark, Yuan Bin put on the python suit given by His Majesty and sat in the palace guard pavilion, waiting for the emperor to come to meet him in the back garden.

And there was a question book next to him, with the conditions of Yamano Gongfang written on it.

This was the second time Yuan Bin met the Emperor Yanren of the Back Garden. The last time was when Yuan Bin went to Kyoto to find souvenirs for His Majesty and took away two of the three artifacts from the palace of the Japanese country. At that time, Yanren became more and more famous.

The more you mourn, the more important things become.

Now is the second time we meet.

Then Emperor Yanren of the Back Garden followed Ji Duo step by step to the Honmaru. Looking at the densely packed archery towers, he was thinking about this indestructible Honmaru and how Yuan Bin captured it overnight.

Compared with the dilapidation of the Imperial City of Kyoto, the denshou pavilion of Kaijo Honmaru is magnificent.

Hikohito walked up the steps step by step and stood in front of the door and thought for a long time. He had repeatedly advised Ashikaga Yoshimasa to take state affairs seriously, but Ashikaga Yoshimasa not only did not listen to his advice, but refused his summons. This was finally

This led to the emperor-zun faction deciding to try to replace the shogun.

Many daimyo received news that he, the emperor, was coming to the border city, but Ashikaga Yoshimasa once again disappointed people, and Ashikaga Yoshimasa did not do anything to stop him.

Before coming to the boundary city, Hikohito still had the last illusion about Ashikaga Yoshimasa. At least the survival of the Muromachi shogunate should be very important to Ashikaga Yoshimasa.

But obviously, Ashikaga Yoshimasa did not take any countermeasures.

Yanren, who had figured out what he was here to do, stepped into the gate of the palace guard pavilion.

"Yuan Gongfang has a reputation for bravery, even in the imperial city of Kyoto, there are two people. When I saw him today, he was indeed extraordinary." Yan Ren came to the palace, walked a few steps with a smile, and greeted Yuan Bin.

Say hello.

Yuan Bin remained silent, ignoring Yan Ren's enthusiasm.

Because Li Bing is the angel of the Ming Dynasty, Yan Ren should first greet the envoy of the Ming Dynasty before Yuan Bin speaks. This is the rule in the vassal ritual note. The rules are the rules and cannot be changed.

In fact, Yuan Bin knew what Yan Ren was thinking. Yan Ren did not say hello to the Ming Dynasty Angel because he wanted to ignore Yuan Bin's identity as a Ming Dynasty scholar, and then negotiated with Yamano Gongfang within the framework of the Japanese Empire, locking the two parties in the negotiation as the Japanese Emperor and the Japanese Emperor.

Negotiations between princes maintained the previous political system of the Japanese state, and the shogunate regent maintained a trace of dignity.

But Yuan Bin refused to give him dignity and would not speak until Yan Ren met the Ming envoy.

There was some silence in the palace guard's pavilion for a while. As soon as they met, Shanye Yuan Gongfang started to put pressure on him.

At this time, Yanren wanted to rush out of the door. The Emperor Zun faction behind him had no idea what kind of evil spirit he was going to face.

"I have met the envoy of the Ming Dynasty." Yanren had no choice but to salute Li Bing.

Li Bing partially raised his head and looked at Yanren silently. At this time, Yanren still refused to kneel down. The vassal ritual note clearly stipulates the etiquette for the vassal king to meet the Ming envoys. Angels who do not kneel down

Can't speak.

What's more, this is a vassal king who arrogantly calls himself the "Son of Heaven".

Can the word emperor be used casually?

In the first year of Jingtai, the Ming Dynasty sent envoys to North Korea to confer the title of King of North Korea. The prince of North Korea, Li Hongwei, refused to kneel down to greet the angel because North Korea felt that the Ming Dynasty had been beaten to pieces by bricks and tiles in the 14th year of Zhengtai. The Ming Dynasty no longer had the invincibility it had in the past.

Deterrence in the world.

The envoys of the Ming Dynasty left the meeting in anger and returned to the Ming Dynasty with the canonization edict. Then there was a dispute between the envoys of the North Korea and the Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, Hu Ming, about the ritual notes of the vassal state in the Fengtian Palace.

The "Notes on the Regulations of the Domain" was compiled by Hu Hui himself, and Hu Shangshu couldn't be more clear about the clauses in it.

What happened to the crown prince Li Hongwei later? Because he could not be canonized by the Ming Dynasty for a long time, and the situation inside and outside the court was unstable, the Shouyang prince Li Yao, the fourth uncle of the crown prince, took his place.

This fight seems to be about etiquette, but in fact, the fight is about profit.

It was the Emperor Zun faction who brought Yan Ren to the palace for a meeting. This was a game of interests. In this regard, Li Bing would never give in.

While Yanren was still hesitating, Li Bing suddenly stood up and was about to leave. When Yuan Bin saw Li Bing standing up, he also stood up.

If you don't want to lose face, then don't talk about it.

The pressure came to Yanren again. Yanren had no choice but to throw away his sleeves, slowly knelt down, and shouted loudly: "Yanren, the master of the Wende Academy of the Japanese Empire, comes to see the envoy of the Ming Dynasty. Long live your majesty, long live, long live."

age."

Yanren's kneeling ceremony was not to kneel to the envoy, but to the Ming Emperor. This was also the rule in the vassal ritual notes.

Yanren's self-proclaimed title is also very interesting. He calls himself the head of Hou Wende Academy instead of the emperor. The Japanese people also know very well that in front of the Ming envoys, whenever he says those two words, the Ming Dynasty will surrender even if they are too lazy to fight against the Japanese.

We used all our national strength to clear out the Japanese at home and abroad.

Li Bing represents the will of the Ming Emperor. As an emperor, Zhu Qiyu doesn't like others to kneel, but as a minister, he needs people to kneel down to salute his majesty.
