Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 508, the excited Japanese king
Kyoto Wawang Imperial Palace can also be called the royal palace.

It is said to be a royal palace, but in fact it is not worth it at all. The place where any daimyo lives in the country of Wa is bigger and more luxurious than the palace where the king of Wa lives.

There is no way, the Japanese king at this time is really poor, and really has no sense of existence and influence.

Whether it is in fact or in name, the King of Wa does not have any power in his hands. The shogunate has specially issued a law, which clearly stipulates that the King of Wa has only one power, that is, he can choose his own year name, except In addition, the Japanese king has no power.

The shogunate is not a Japanese king, and the famous names in various places are not a Japanese king at all. This phenomenon has been going on for hundreds of years.

This has been the case for hundreds of years, so the current king of Japan is so poor that he can't even build a palace, let alone repair it, and can't even get a few hundred coins.

This is not an exaggeration. Secondly, in the thirteenth year of Hongzhi, after the death of the current Japanese Empress Domimon, because the shogunate did not necessarily pay the funeral expenses, the bones of this sad Emperor Gotomimon were placed in the palace for a full four weeks. After thirteen days, he was still unable to bury him, so he had to be buried hastily in the deep grass Beiling.

Emperor Gotsumimon's son, Emperor Gokashihara, wanted to hold a grand ceremony when he ascended the throne. He also had no money. Only Baiguanqian managed to hold a grand ceremony.

From here, we can know how miserable the Japanese king of this era is.

Although he is still the monarch of the Wa Kingdom in name, he doesn't even look like a monarch at all. It's fine if he doesn't have power in his hands, he doesn't even have money, and he doesn't have money for hundreds of burials.

At this time, the aged Goto Mimon Emperor was lying on the hospital bed. He was almost dying. According to history, he died in October of the thirteenth year of Hongzhi.

"Shall I have some porridge?"

Emperor Go Kashiwahara served him very filially, holding a bowl of porridge in his hand, and served Emperor Goto Mimon to drink the porridge.

Don’t be surprised, it’s good that the Japanese king can afford porridge at this time, at least he didn’t starve to death, and the shogunate will still give the money and food. explain.

"Is there any money for the burial after I left?"

Emperor Goto Mimon shook his head slightly, looked at the dilapidated imperial palace, there was not a single decent thing in the entire imperial palace, I heard that the mirrors on Daming's side are very good, and he has asked the shogunate to buy one many times , and there has been no news so far.

He knew that he was going to die soon, and he probably would leave soon. The only thing he was worried about now was that he didn't have enough money to bury himself.

So, like the previous emperors, when he knew that he was about to die, he began to prepare for the period behind him in advance. Asking money from the shogunate and daimyo from all over the world is actually no different from a beggar.

Emperor Go Kashiwahara shook his head slightly. He had made requests to the shogunate more than once, but nothing came of it. As for the letters to the daimyos, they never returned.

"Ah~"

Emperor Goto Mimon sighed heavily, and then lay down on the bed.

Without any power in his hands, not even money, the emperor is really useless.

"I heard that the Ming army has reached Hyogo Tsu. The Ouchi family in China, the Uesugi family in the Kanto area, and the Otomo family in Kyushu have all been wiped out by the Ming army. It is estimated that the Ming army may soon leave Hyogo. Notsu has come to Kyoto and Muromachi."

After thinking about it for a while, Emperor Go Kashiwabara also told about the major events happening on the Wa country.

"The speed is really fast~"

"The emperor of Ming Dynasty is the real emperor. He holds the sun, the moon and the universe in his hands, and is rich in the world. I heard that the emperor's palace of Ming Dynasty is bigger than our entire capital."

Emperor Goto Mimon sighed, and then said enviously.

It's already reached this point, he doesn't care if the Ming army will come to the capital, he is very envious of the emperor of Ming Dynasty, that is the real monarch, compared with the son of Ming Dynasty, their emperor is considered What a monarch.

"Yes, there are newspapers from Daming now. I heard that the Qianqing Palace where the Son of Heaven lives is resplendent and extravagant. The windows are all made of glass. At night, lighting up the lamps can illuminate the whole place. Beijing."

Emperor Gobashihara nodded and said, his eyes were full of envy.

"Ah~"

While talking and talking, Emperor Goto Mimon couldn't help sighing again, people are more angry than people.

"Your Majesty, the shogun has sent someone~"

At this moment, someone came over gently and said.

"Has the shogun sent someone over?"

When Emperor Goto Mimon heard this, he immediately regained his energy. The shogunate has been ignoring them all the time, but now he sent someone over on his own initiative.

"Help me up and change clothes~"

Emperor Goto Mimon struggled to get up, and gave instructions to those around him.

Soon, Emperor Gotu Mimon, who put on his own clothes, received envoys from the shogunate.

"I have seen His Majesty the Emperor~"

Yin Shi Zhongzhen looked at Emperor Gotu Mimon, bowed slightly and saluted.

"Free gift ~ give me a seat!"

Emperor Goto Mimon frowned slightly, because Yin Shi Zhongzhen was obviously disrespectful to him in terms of etiquette, but he was helpless, because he knew that Yin Shi Zhongzhen in front of him was now one of the real power holders of the shogunate. The cost depends on the face of the other party.

"Thank you, Your Majesty~"

Yin Shizhongzhen sat down carelessly.

"Your Majesty doesn't look very well?"

Yin Shi Zhongzhen looked at Emperor Gotu Mimon, and asked knowingly.

The emperor asked them for the funeral expenses, obviously he knew that his life was not long, and you are still asking the question knowingly, isn't this deliberately angry with Emperor Tsuchimimon.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's an old problem, it's okay~"

Emperor Gotsumimon smiled all over his face, and he didn't seem to be a little angry because of this incident. On the contrary, Emperor Gokashihara frowned tightly, looking at Yin Shizhongzhen with both eyes, obviously angry.

"That's good~ that's good~"

When Yin Shizhongzhen heard this, he was slightly relieved.

If Empress Tsuchimikado is too ill to attend the peace talks in person, then the shogunate will have no way to explain to Daming.

"I'm here this time. Firstly, the general came to visit His Majesty. The General knew that His Majesty had an infection, so he ordered me to bring five pieces of Korean ginseng, five hundred guan coins, and ten pieces of cloth."

Yin Shizhongzhen thought about it for a while and said directly, it is important to do business, and there is no time to chat with this old man.

"This….."

When Emperor Goto Mimon heard this, he was overjoyed immediately.

Did the shogun take the wrong medicine, and he was giving away ginseng, money and cloth? What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?

You must know that in the past, he sent people to ask them for funeral expenses over and over again, but the shogunate didn't respond to them. Now not only did he give the money, but he even gave people ginseng and cloth. The sun came out from the west up?

"Please also convey your thanks to the general~"

Emperor Goto Mimon didn't know what to say for a while, the happiness came a bit suddenly, and at the same time, it also made him secretly vigilant here, there must be something wrong with this place.

"Hmm~"

Yin Shizhongzhen nodded slightly, but he couldn't help but want to say in his heart, thanking that puppet is better than thanking me, I gave it to you, but he can't say it, at least he is still a shogun on the surface of courtiers.

"The second thing is to trouble your majesty to go to Hyogotsu in person. Our shogunate has peace talks with the Ming Dynasty. The people of the Ming Dynasty clearly pointed out that you must participate in the peace talks with your majesty in person before they are willing to negotiate with us. Wa peace talks."

Then Yin Shi Zhongzhen also stated the purpose of his trip. In fact, he came here to invite the emperor to participate in the peace talks.

Knowing that the emperor's health is failing, so I gave a few ginseng to Emperor Goto Mimon to hang his life, don't die on the road before reaching Hyogotsu, then it will be difficult to handle .

After all, the emperor will be buried when he dies, and the new emperor will build a palace. It will take some time to go back and forth. By then, the people of the Ming Dynasty will get impatient, and they may directly kill Kyoto and Muromachi. The shogunate is finished.

"what?"

"Go to Hyogo Tsu and Akito for peace talks?"

Emperor Goto Mimon and Gokashibara were stunned when they heard this.

They never dreamed that when they had a sense of presence in matters with the people of the Ming Dynasty, they must know that this was just a matter between the Ming people and the shogunate, and between the daimyos of various places, and now they are involved body came.

"Yes, this is Mingren's request. His Majesty must personally go and negotiate peace with Mingren."

"Of course, we, the courtiers, will take care of everything. Your Majesty just needs to go and attend."

Yin Shizhongzhen nodded solemnly, and the second half of the sentence was also a reminder to Emperor Goto Mimon, don't think that people in the Ming Dynasty value you, you really treat yourself as a green onion, you are just showing your face, everything is still Listen to the shogunate.

"That's it~"

Emperor Goto Mimon immediately understood something when he heard it, and then thought for a while and said, "I don't know when to leave?"

He didn't hesitate at all, he was going without a doubt, the opportunity to show his face in front of Ming people, he had to go.

Now they don't have any sense of presence or influence. It's rare for Mingren to ask him to go, then he must go, and he must have a good sense of presence.

Let the shogunate, daimyos from all over the country, and everyone in Wa country know of his existence.

"The sooner the better~"

Yin Shizhongzhen nodded in satisfaction and said directly.

"Then wait a minute, I'll pack up and go."

Emperor Goto Mimon nodded, thought for a while and said.

"Good~"

Yin Shizhongzhen nodded in agreement.

With the support of Emperor Gobawara, Emperor Goto Mimon returned to the place where he lived. Without outsiders, he couldn't help but excitedly said: "The Ming people want me to go to the peace talks in person, or the emperor of the Ming Dynasty values ​​us. , After all, I am the monarch of the Wa Kingdom, representing the entire Wa Kingdom."

At this moment, he felt his own existence, his presence as a monarch.

The peace talks between the shogunate and the people of the Ming Dynasty, the people of the Ming Dynasty actually wanted to go in person. There is no doubt that this is because the shogunate cannot represent the country of Japan. In the eyes of the people of the Ming Dynasty, the shogunate is a traitor and can truly represent the country of Japan The only one left is Emperor Goto Mimon.

"Father, this is a good opportunity. Maybe we can use the hands of wise people to restore part of our power."

Emperor Go Kashiwahara was also very excited, negotiating with Mingren, this is a big event, it is a good opportunity for them to gain their sense of presence.

And looking at it like this, the people of the Ming Dynasty only recognized them as the King of Wo, and maybe they could really use the people of the Ming Dynasty to gain some power for themselves.

Among other things, at least there must be some meat for eating in the future. People who drink porridge every day are skinny and almost starved to death.

"This is unrealistic~ The shogunate will not allow us to hold power."

Emperor Goto Mimon shook his head slightly. He was very clear about his situation. Once he gained power, he might be killed by the shogunate.

"The shogunate is already too busy to take care of itself. This time, the fiasco of Hyogotsu made the shogunate even worse. The big names from all over the world have long been dissatisfied with the shogunate."

Emperor Gobashihara was more optimistic. He seemed to see hope, the hope that they would restore power.

"Let's take a look first~"

Emperor Gotu Mimon thought about it and nodded slightly.

This time, after finally having the opportunity to show their face and show their presence, maybe some of the big names from all over the world will show their loyalty to themselves, and then they will have the opportunity to gain some power.

Thinking of this, Emperor Goto Mimon's complexion became more rosy, and his spirit improved a lot.

"Order someone to boil the ginseng soup sent by the shogunate. After drinking the ginseng soup, I will set off."

Then he also said to Emperor Go Kashiwahara.

"Yes~"

Emperor Go Kashiwahara nodded, and hurriedly ordered people to get busy.

The whole person is also quite excited. They have had enough of this kind of nominal monarch. For hundreds of years, they have no power. Now they even have to beg for the funeral fee, and they don't even have the last bit of dignity of the monarch. up.

It's hard for people to pay attention to them. This is their opportunity, an opportunity for them to show their presence. As long as they grasp this opportunity well, they may be able to win some power for themselves.

They have also seen the situation in the Wa Kingdom, and now there is a tendency for the heroes to compete for the throne. The shogunate is in decline, and it is already declining.

Now with the participation of the Ming people, if they can make good use of the fact that they are the nominal monarch of the Wa Kingdom, and make good use of the fact that the Emperor has accepted the canonization of the Central Plains emperor, maybe they can regain control of the power of the Wa Kingdom and become the real king of the Wa Kingdom. The monarch, like the son of heaven, has the world in his hands and is rich in the world.

　There is no exaggeration, the king of Japan in this era is really hard-working~
