On the second day, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi held the imperial edict and led the delegation to protect the Ming Navy after four days and nights of sailing, and finally landed in the Mito vassal. Both powerful officials behind him were rewarded by the emperor, so they were also very happy. They didn't know how tokugawa Tsunayoshi's depression. Anyway, they were all scattered with everyone, and it seemed that there was more prospects to follow the Ming Emperor.

Tokugawa and his group did not return to Edo first, but instead went directly to Kyoto with thousands of Ming soldiers who were guarding him. There, a major event that caused a sensation in the entire Japan would break out.

Along the way, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi was always wandering. He knew very well what this edict brought, and he didn't know where the shogunate would go, but he had no choice. Even if he didn't read the edict, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty took out his signature and sealed "Exhortation" and could still divide Tokugawa Tsunayoshi into the opposition between the Emperor and the Divine Cult. If that's the case, it would be better to ride under the Ming Dynasty to enjoy the cool air.

The Ming army accompanied by the three thousand was Liu Guoxuan, the general of the Nanyang Navy Battalion. His mission was to monitor Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, and on the other hand, he prevented changes in Kyoto. Tokugawa Tsunayoshi had a new understanding of the combat effectiveness of the three thousand Ming army along the way. Compared with their bird guns, the fire of muskets was simply in the sky and in the underground. Tokugawa Tsunayoshi was relieved that the Ming army had such strong strength, and he was also relieved.

Not far from Mito to Kyoto, a huge group of people passed through several Daming vassals and did not arouse the alertness of the various vassals. This is the main island of Japan. Most of the Daming vassals are pro-shogunate. General Tokugawa arrived. Although he did not know what the Ming army followed had intended, he did not make any rude actions.

A few days later, Tokugawa and his party finally arrived in Kyoto. Kyoto was caught off guard against these Ming troops with live ammunition, and had a bad premonition about the general's sudden visit. When entering the city, the two sides had a conflict. The left and right soldiers of the Kyoto garrison did not allow the Ming army to enter the city. How could Liu Guoxuan refuse so easily? He insisted on entering the city on the grounds that Japan was the vassal state's sect leader and had the right to lead troops to protect the troops. The three thousand Ming troops set up a formation at the hem of Kyoto City, pointing directly at the gun barrel, which was very meaningless to enter the city if they could not enter the city peacefully. Tokugawa Tsunayoshi took the form of the general of the expedition to ask the Minister of the Taizheng to come out and reply.

The position of the Minister of Taizheng was equivalent to that of the three Dukes of the Ming Dynasty. Although he had no real power, he had a high status, but it was not helpful. Liu Guoxuan even prepared to order people to open fire. The guards who guarded Kyoto seemed to feel that the Ming army was not in good intentions and came out in full bloom. Tokugawa Tsunayoshi was finally angry and furious. It was not until the emperor in the city issued an edict that the guards let them go.

Emperor Lingyuan felt strong uneasy. What was the purpose of General Tokugawa bringing the Ming army? Just to announce an order of Emperor Ming? He didn't believe that he was not a fool. In the eyes of many internal officials in Kyoto, he was really an enlightened emperor. It is precisely because of this that the emperor's wisdom and General Gou's stupidity formed a sharp contrast, and the call for Emperor Returning to the Masa became increasingly fierce. It was because of this that the smart Emperor Lingyuan felt uneasy. The shogunate holding great power definitely did not want the emperor's reputation to rise.

After weighing the pros and cons, Emperor Lingyuan issued an edict to ask the general to bring the Ming army into the city. What should come will always come. Once the Ming Dynasty and the Emperor formed some form of alliance, the five military guards in Kyoto could not resist it.

"Okay, go and see what the general and the Ming army meant." Emperor Lingyuan clenched his fists and wiped a samurai sword on the couch. This was a shaved sword. It was combined with Yata Mirror and Yasaka Yoshikoyu into three artifacts, which were symbols of the Japanese royal family.

"Shad grass, shaved grass, after today, who will you fall into the hands of anyone?" Ling Yuan reluctantly placed the sword in front of the shrine and bowed three times.

Matsuno Pavilion is the main place for the Japanese royal family to worship gods and diplomatic etiquette. At this time, two monks of the divine religion were praying in front of the collapse. Emperor Lingyuan was wearing a white plain silk robe in the field of the divine affairs and sat cross-legged on the couch. The two boys stood on both sides with chrysanthemums and precious swords.

A monk from the Divine Cult suddenly stopped singing and reminded with a low eyebrows: "Your Highness, they are here."

Emperor Lingyuan nodded, staring at the pavilion door in a daze. Then there was a thud. The wooden floor was trembling with heavy military boots. His steps were rapid and steady. Finally, the footsteps became more and more and more, and it seemed messy.

"The time has come to determine the fate of the Kingdom of God." Emperor Lingyuan felt a sadness in his heart. The fate of the Kingdom of God will always be handed over to others' hands. Amaterasu's descendants enjoy the respectful land at the same time. They also became generals and powerful land puppets. Will the royal family of all generations be interrupted from now on? Since it is not, why did General Tokugawa come with so many soldiers?

A figure appeared in the gate of the Matsuno Pavilion. Two, three, and four... General Chuan was wearing a samurai suit and a mask. There was no expression. On his side was a Ming general, who was also surrounded by armor. He was like a great enemy. Behind them were countless generals, local soldiers and Ming soldiers. Then some were guards of the Emperor's Temple. They drew out their samurai swords and followed the two generals and hundreds of guards with alertness.

.

"Get back!" Emperor Lingyuan shouted solemnly at the outer temple of the temple. A hundred temples looked at each other, put away their samurai swords, retreated a few feet, and was on guard from afar.

"General Tokugawa, is this general?" Emperor Lingyuan seemed very calm, and his eyes were attracted by the Ming Dynasty general beside Tokugawa Tsunayoshi.

"Your Highness!" Tokugawa Tsunayoshi was wearing a mask and could not see the expression on his face. He seemed to hesitate for a moment, and finally bowed his knees and gave a samurai salute to Emperor Lingyuan: "This is Lord Liu Guoxuan, the general of the Navy of the Ming Dynasty."

Emperor Lingyuan nodded at Liu Guoxuan: "General Liu."

Liu Guoxuan's hand holding the hilt of the knife never let go, and nodded to Emperor Lingyuan for a greeting.

"General." Emperor Lingyuan's sharp eyes stared at Tokugawa Tsunayoshi's bronze mask, as if he wanted to see Tokugawa Tsunayoshi's face carefully: "What are you and General Liu leading troops into the Shrine?"

Tokugawa Tsunayoshi remained silent and pressed his right hand on the hilt of the samurai knife around his waist. Liu Guoxuan said expressionlessly: "Run the will of Emperor Daming."

"Does the letter of the country be delivered?" Emperor Lingyuan's mouth twitched: "Please present the letter of the emperor of the Sunset."

Tokugawa Tsunayoshi finally spoke: "Your Highness, it is the will of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty."

Emperor Lingyuan looked at Tokugawa Tsuyoshi, wishing to split the Japanese traitor into two halves with one sword. He knew that the Emperor's lineage would be cut off at this moment. If the Emperor Ming Dynasty had been for friendship, he would never be so rude, and the shogun would not have brought a knife to the palace. The so-called emperor's will is just the mercy of the victor. Will he want the descendants of Amaterasu to issue abdication edict? Or take away the title of Emperor and submit to the surrender?

Emperor Lingyuan sneered, but deep down he was as cold as a cellar. He might be the last emperor.

"Your Highness, please kneel down and accept the order!" Tokugawa Tsunayoshi was urging.

Emperor Lingyuan did not move, and the entire Songzhi Pavilion seemed to be still. Only the breathing of countless people was heard, some were delicate and some were heavy.

"Bastard!" A samurai behind Emperor Lingyuan was furious and pulled out the samurai sword and rushed towards Tokugawa Tsunayoshi.

"Bang bang... The machine pulled the machine and made a strong explosion, hitting the warrior's face. The warrior hung his knife weakly and his burly body fell down.

"Hi!" There were bursts of rapid footsteps behind the screen of Matsuno Pavilion, and many samurai flashed out of the screen with bird flakes and samurai swords. Behind the screen was the back door of Matsuno Pavilion, and there was a corridor that could be reached directly.

The soldiers brought by Tokugawa Tsunayoshi and Liu Guoxuan also quickly raised their weapons. The entire Matsuno Pavilion was tense, and Tokugawa Tsunayoshi shouted angrily: "Bastard, retreat!"

Neither the samurai nor the Kyoto military guards moved, and looked at Emperor Lingyuan in a hushed manner. At this time, gunshots came from outside the palace, and someone screamed shrillly. The Matsuno Pavilion was still very quiet. Everyone raised their ears and listened to the sounds outside the palace.

After a while, a few messy steps were getting closer and closer, and then the noisy wooden boards stomped by the spurs of military boots rattled. A warrior with blood rushed in, kneeling at the entrance of the hall with tears and blood: "Your Highness, escape quickly!" The warrior twitched for a few times and did not move.

More Ming troops stepped on Japanese samurai, and Bingwei's bodies walked in and stood outside the pavilion without moving.

Tokugawa Tsunayoshi laughed: "Please accept the order."

Emperor Lingyuan raised his hand, and all resistance was futile. The Kyoto's Bingwei was no match for the Ming army at all, not to mention that even the shogun had become the enemy of the royal family: "Get back!"

This sentence was said to the samurai and Bingwei behind him. The samurai and Bingwei retreated unwillingly. In the wide Matsu Pavilion, there were only the Emperor, General, Liu Guoxuan, and two monks from the Divine Sect and Ming Bing.

Liu Guoxuan whispered to the Ming soldiers behind him, and the Ming soldiers who entered the pavilion also retreated to the door of Matsuzhi Pavilion. Emperor Lingyuan on the couch finally stood up, and the wooden clogs stepped on the wooden board to make a sound of Titicaca. The chanting of the two monks became more and more rapid. Finally, Emperor Lingyuan bent his knees and knelt at Liu Guoxuan's feet. Emperor Lingyuan stretched his arms, drew half an arc with his arms, and finally supported him to the ground. Emperor Lingyuan bowed three times, and said unwillingly with humiliation: "The minister, Emperor Lingyuan, greeted the Emperor of Ming, and asked the Emperor of Ming to decree."

"No! You can't be called the Emperor!" Tokugawa Tsunayoshi said this sentence almost with a grim smile. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty had already granted him the King of Japan, and the Emperor of Japan was granted the King of Japan.

The monk finally stopped singing and opened his eyes in surprise to look at Tokugawa Tsunayoshi.

"Yes, I will receive the order!"

Liu Guoxuan took a long box from a soldier and handed it to Tokugawa Tsunayoshi: "Your Highness, you can recite it."

Tokugawa Tsunayoshi respectfully took over the imperial edict and read it out: "The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun, and the imperial edict said:...
Chapter completed!
