Chapter 350: Changes in Kyoto! Ning Wang Zhu Quan Has Such a Bad Temper!

Latest website:

Kyoto.

This thousand-year-old capital has always been the capital of Japan.

Since the construction of Kyoto coincided with the climax of Japan's activities in sending envoys to the Tang Dynasty, it is natural that the layout of the new capital should be based on the example of the Chinese capital.

Its original design was modeled after Chang'an and Luoyang during the Sui and Tang Dynasties in China.

At that time, the Tang Dynasty made Chang'an, the capital of Xijing, and Luoyang, the capital of Tokyo, the capitals. Similarly, the western half of Xinjing (right Jing) was called "Chang'an", while the eastern half (left Jing) was called "Luoyang".

Between the pseudo-Chang'an and the pseudo-Luoyang is the imperial palace of the Japanese state!

The entire building complex is arranged in a rectangular shape, with Zhuque Road running from north to south as the axis, and is divided into east and west capitals. Tokyo is modeled after Luoyang, and Xijing is modeled after Chang'an City, with the imperial palace in the middle.

At this moment, the Pseudo-Suzaku Street was filled with people.

Even late at night, the people of Kyoto, Japan, could not contain their enthusiasm.

They all wanted to see with their own eyes how powerful and domineering the Ming envoy who came to visit this time was!

Daming!

The powerful dynasty that controls Middle-earth!

Because of the insistence of Ashikaga Yoshimochi, the fourth shogunate, he unilaterally cut off the joint trade between Japan and the Ming Dynasty in the ninth year of Yongle. As a result, the people of Japan were unable to obtain the handmade products of the Ming Dynasty, which brought great inconvenience to the people's lives.

In addition, at this time, Emperor Go Kameyama of the Southern Dynasty went to Yoshino to protest against the shogunate and the court for violating the provisions of the Meitoku Peace Treaty on the establishment of two unifications, and established Prince Shihito as the crown prince. Kitahata Manmasa, a supporter of the Southern Dynasty, also actively responded and launched a rebellion. , resulting in a great reduction in the prestige of the shogunate.

At this juncture, the two sides in the war finally reached a reconciliation under the mediation of Prince Ueno.

Emperor Kameyama Hōtō of the Southern Dynasties took this opportunity to propose sending envoys to the Ming Dynasty to restore the joint trade between the two countries.

Ashikaga Yoshimochi simply borrowed the donkey to get off the slope and reluctantly agreed to this condition.

But they didn't expect that Ming Dynasty would send a delegation to visit!

Moreover, this Ming Dynasty envoy was none other than Zheng He, who was in charge of the invincible fleet!

Whether it was out of reverence for the Ming Dynasty or the terrifying strength of Zheng He's fleet, the Japanese side treated the Ming Dynasty mission with dignity.

Not only did the head of the Hosokawa family, Hosokawa Mangen, be dispatched to escort him throughout the whole journey, but he also held talks between the two countries at the Japanese Imperial Palace.

If this were normal times, how could these envoys of the Ming Dynasty be treated like this!

Zheng He and Zhu Quan were riding tall horses and walking on Zhuque Street.

Zhu Quan seemed to have thought of something funny, and said meaningfully: "Zheng He, I didn't expect that this Japanese country also has Chang'an and Luoyang. It really suits my king's wishes!"

Zheng He looked at him deeply and did not answer.

Damn it, this Ning Wang Zhu Quan is really a lunatic!

Even a fool can see your wolfish ambition, so you don't even try to cover it up?

Besides, the Japanese country hasn’t been conquered yet, so why are you making reservations?

"You dare to arrogantly claim the title of emperor even though you are in such a small place. You are really a frog in the well. It is so pitiful and ridiculous!"

When Zhu Quan was feeling proud, he seemed to have thought of something, and sighed secretly, with a look of disdain on his face.

Hosokawa Manyuan was frightened when he heard this, and wished he could cover the mouth of Prince Mingning!

In order to cooperate with the Ming army's actions tonight, he has made too many arrangements, so there is absolutely no room for mistakes!

If the plan succeeds, the future shogun will be from the Hosokawa clan!

But if tonight's plan fails, the Hosokawa clan will be killed to the point of annihilation, and will be nailed to the pillar of shame of Japan!

Therefore, at this moment, Hosokawa Mangen was extremely nervous.

But then he thought of the arrangements of the Ming army, and Hosokawa Mangen suddenly became full of confidence again.

Tonight, Kyoto is going to change!

Under the leadership of Hosokawa Mangen, the Ming Dynasty delegation entered the Japanese palace.

But after seeing the magnificence of the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese imperial palace seemed a bit like a tiger rather than a dog, and it seemed very ridiculous.

This Japanese imperial palace has green tile roofs, white walls and brown copper pillars. The main hall is the center of the entire palace.

The main activities and diplomatic etiquette of the Japanese royal family were all held in the main hall, and this banquet was also held in this main hall.

When King Ning Zhu Quan and his envoy Zheng He entered the main hall, Emperor Goguyama of the Southern Dynasty of Japan, Emperor Gokomatsu of the Northern Dynasty of Japan, as well as the shogunate Ashikaga Yoshimichi, the shogunate Sukuro Hatakeyama Mitsuki, Shiba Yoshitsune, etc. were all here.

When everyone saw Zheng He, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, their expressions instantly became tense.

The shadow of a famous tree, this Zheng He is not a good person!

However, there was a man in front of Zheng He, wearing a Taoist priest uniform. He looked like a Chinese Taoist priest!

Zheng He and his party were led by others to take their seats, and the banquet was about to begin.

However, when King Ning Zhu Quan walked to his seat, he frowned and was reluctant to take his seat.

After all, he, Zhu Quan, was also the seventeenth son of Taizu of the Ming Dynasty. He was a nobleman of the Ming Dynasty. How could he be so far behind?

In front of the two emperors, that's fine. After all, this is their territory, and the emperor is their nominal supreme leader. It's acceptable to give some face to these two ridiculous emperors from small countries.

As for the position of Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimichi in front of him, Zhu Quan didn't want to say anything. After all, this guy was the powerful official who controlled the actual power of the Japanese country. His real status was probably higher than those two emperor mascots!

But what the hell do you mean by letting old guys like Nahatakeyama Mitsuke and Shiba Yishou sit in front of you?

Several bullshit elders of the shogunate were treated like domestic slaves in the Ming Dynasty. How could they be more noble than themselves, the princes of the Ming Dynasty?

Prince Ning got angry, kicked the desk over, and started to get angry.

Ashikaga Yoshimochi and others were stunned on the spot and stood there at a loss.

Is this Damn Prince of Ming Dynasty so arrogant and domineering?

The talks between the two countries have not yet started. What do you mean by kicking the table?

"idiot!"

Hatakeyama Manjia and Shiba Yishang were furious, stood up and glared at Ning Wang Zhu Quan.

When Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the third shogunate of the shogunate, passed away, Ashikaga Yoshimichi assumed real power. In the name of "Minamoto Yoshimochi, the Crown Prince of Japan", he sent an envoy to report his father's death to the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty sent his lieutenant-general Zhou Quan to express his condolences and consecrated Ashikaga Yoshitomichi as the "King of Japan". However, Ashikaga Yoshinori's declaration of vassalage to the Ming Dynasty aroused strong dissatisfaction among the shogunate elders such as Yoshinori Shiba, the leader of the shogunate.

These shogunate elders have always believed in creeds such as "Since the founding of the country, everything has been done by listening to the gods" and "The spiritual gods have told people: Our country has never professed vassalage to foreign countries since ancient times." They believe that the Japanese Empire is sacred and powerful, and there is no need to submit to it. Then what kind of Ming Dynasty professed it!

What's more, the arrogant Mongolian Empire forced the Empire of Japan to surrender and even sent an expeditionary force to attack, but the heroic warriors of the Empire of Japan defeated the entire army and did not dare to attack again!

Could a mere Ming Dynasty be as good as the Mongol Empire that was at its peak?

Under pressure from the shogunate elders such as Hatakeyama Mitsuru and Shiba Yishang, Ashikaga Yoshimichi finally unilaterally cut off Japan's joint trade with the Ming Dynasty.

With this idea in mind, Hatakeyama Mitsuru and Shiba Yishang looked down on the envoys of the Ming Dynasty.

At this moment, seeing Ning Wang and Zhu Quan directly turning against each other, they no longer pretended to be anything, and also expressed their anger.

The two emperor mascots were trembling with fear. Ashikaga Yoshimichi's face was livid and he looked at Hosokawa Mitsubishi angrily.

That ferocious look seemed to be asking the shogunate leader, what exactly did you bring back?

Hosokawa Manyuan felt miserable at the moment and looked at Prince Ning Zhu Quan with helplessness.

My uncle, even if you want to attack, you must be polite first and then attack, right?

How can you just kick the table like this?

It's fine now, I can't even pretend anymore!

Ning Wang Zhu Quan seemed not to notice the tense atmosphere at the scene. He looked at Zheng He with a smile and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I can't bear to eat with these barbarian fools!"

"Then what the prince means..." Zheng He shrugged indifferently.

Since you are directly making trouble, then stop pretending!

"Well, let's go ahead and kill them all except these two mascots!"

Ning Wang Zhu Quan ordered coldly, and then pointed at the Hatakeyama Manjia and Shiba Yishang.

"These two old guys are here to stay. If they dare to insult me ​​in public, I will punish them!"

No matter how stupid Ashikaga Yoshimochi and others were, they saw that something was wrong at this moment, and immediately shouted at the guards to enter.

However, what they did not expect was that the guards who entered the main hall, wearing Japanese costumes, were all Han Chinese!

Before Ashikaga Yoshimochi could react, he was knocked to the ground by two soldiers, and several of his teeth were lost.

The dignified shogun never thought that a coup would happen in his hometown of Kyoto, a Japanese country!

The faces of Hatakeyama Mitsuke and Shiba Yishang were pale, and even though they were firmly restrained by the soldiers, they continued to roar angrily.

Hosokawa Mangen stepped forward and gave each of them a big blow.

"Hey, old guy, didn't you expect that?"

"Hosokawa, you despicable beast, how dare you commit treason?"

Seeing this situation, Ashikaga Yoshimichi still didn't understand that it was the Hosokawa clan who had betrayed the Japanese Empire and secretly assisted these Ming troops to sneak into the palace!

Hosokawa is also one of the three leaders, and now he is the head of the three leaders on duty!

Hosokawa Mangen was responsible for the reception of the Ming Dynasty envoys, and he was responsible for all matters!

Therefore, if he wants to support the Ming army and sneak into Kyoto and even the imperial palace, it will not be too easy!

This damn beast, how dare he surrender to the enemy and treason!

Why?

Hosokawa Mangen looked at Ashikaga Yomochi expressionlessly and kicked him hard.

"You, the Ashikaga clan, treat me, the Hosokawa clan, as a domestic slave. Why can't I surrender to the Celestial Empire?"

"What else is 'treason'? It's just that I, the Hosokawa clan, control the shogunate and play around with these two mascots of the emperor!"

Seeing that his own army was in control of the overall situation, Hosokawa Mangen finally took off his disguise and let out an intoxicating laugh like a night owl.

Wu Xuanzheng, the naval general of the Ming Dynasty, took advantage of the night and led the elite Ming army, led by the Hosokawa clan, to massacre the core members of the shogunate, especially the Ashikaga clan.

As long as all the Ashikaga clan are killed, he, the Hosokawa clan, can take over the shogunate with the support of the Ming army, and he, Hosokawa Mitsurugi, will be the new shogun!

In the end, he, the Hosokawa family, won this huge gamble in life!

It’s no wonder that when he was in the Ming Dynasty, he knelt down and licked the bastard Prince of the Ming Dynasty like that!

Zheng He and Zhu Quan both stepped forward and looked at the two emperor mascots with frightened faces, and they both showed kind smiles.

"Two mascots, you are both the emperor, who will write the imperial edict?"
