Chapter 442 The Status Quo of Japan During This Period
Guo's writing is good, not brilliant but very respectful, and the Japanese envoy is a man with half-moon hair, wearing a clean kimono, nodding and bowing when he speaks, which is very useful for the emperor and ministers of the Ming Dynasty.
But Wu Youwei became more and more angry.
The Japanese are indeed very sincere. For thousands of years, they have used this kind of sincerity to deceive generation after generation of Chinese people. They snatched things and then ran away. , as if what happened before was really the fault of some people.But people in my land of China have been educated by thousands of years of Confucian culture, which talks about "strict self-discipline, lenient treatment of others,
So the Japanese used their sincerity to make the Chinese forgive them again and again, and then they found that the behemoth next door was a very good-tempered neighbor, so they intensified their efforts and demanded endlessly.
I don't know how much of the things they paid tribute came from China?
If nothing else, just talk about Japanese satin, Japan does not produce Japanese satin weaving materials, and Song Yingxing has not yet been born, but he wrote "Tiangong Kaiwu" Volume [-] Japanese satin strips: where Japanese satin made Dongyi , Zhang and Quan Haibin followed suit.
The silk comes from Sichuan and Sichuan, and the merchant Wanli sells it to return home with Yi pepper.
The weaving method was also introduced from the Yi Kingdom. The cover material has been dyed first, and the thread is sandwiched to hide the sutra surface. After a few inches of weaving, it will be scraped into black light.
Those who traded with northern captives were delighted to see it.
It is also recorded in the "Da Qing Hui Dian" of later generations: Jiangning Weaving Bureau weaves [-] pieces of Japanese satin every year, and Suzhou and other places also weave it.
It is a very precious fabric cloud.
It shows that Japanese satin was originally a satin made in Japan, and later imitated in Zhangzhou, Quanzhou and other places in Fujian, and it is still called "Japanese satin", also known as "foreign satin M".
Where did they buy the raw materials for weaving Japanese satin from Daming?Or was it simply snatched?
After he finished reading, according to the etiquette process, the Shaoqing of Honghe Temple stepped forward, took over the letter of credence, and presented it to the lower steps of the alchemy seat. The servant, the servant has to check it calmly to see if there is anything wrong with it. After the inspection, it can be transferred to the imperial case.
Sometimes the emperor would open it and take a look, and sometimes he wouldn't even touch it.
But the things in front of him must be safe. I don't know how many times this credential has been searched by people from Honglu Temple.
Since the allusion of "Jingke Assassinating the King of Qin" came out, the size of the national books has been regulated, and the weight is about the same. It is enough to ensure that no dagger is heavy.
But just when Shaoqing of Honglu Temple was going to receive the letter of credence, a censor jumped out!
Wu Youwei recognized this person. His surname was Ma, his name was Zhongxi, his courtesy name was Tianlu, and his nickname was Dongtian. His ancestral home was Dadu.
He was a Jinshi in Chenghua for 11 years.
Historically, he was also a celebrity.
It is said that the last official to the right is the censor.
However, because he was jealous of evil, he impeached Concubine Wan Gui and the Wan family a lot, and in the end he was accused of military affairs by the court and died in prison.
This person can write poems and essays, and he has a literary name in his life. Li Mengyang, Kang Hai, and Wang Jiusi once studied under him.
Author of "Dongtian Collection".
Wu Youwei remembers him because of his name, Ma Zhongxi, which is easily called "Ma Zhongxi" or "Ma Zhongxi" by people who are not good at Mandarin....
This person, to put it bluntly, is a guy with a strong sense of justice.
I don't know where he heard about the situation in Japan, but at this moment, he suddenly jumped out and said, "No connection!"
With these three words, Shaoqing of Honglu Temple withdrew his hand in an instant, and the envoy from Japan was stunned, holding the letter of credence in both hands, in a daze.
"Why?" Emperor Xianzong finally spoke, because the civil and military and diplomatic envoys of the Manchu Dynasty were all present.
"Your Majesty, this person is not an envoy sent by the king of Japan, but a fake!" Ma Zhongxi said angrily, "Not only is he not an envoy, but he is also a traitor!"
The Yamana who came here was not very good at Chinese, and with Ma Zhongxi's angry roar, he... didn't understand it even more.
"Oh?" Emperor Xianzong was taken aback, he didn't expect this to happen, he thought Ma Yushi was dissatisfied with Japan's tribute.
But to be honest, he didn't take a fancy to these tributes from foreign countries, but he couldn't lose face.
So Japan can come, in fact, Emperor Xianzong is more proud than curious.
In fact, he also knew that for no reason, how could he come to pay tribute?
I just don't know the reason, and because I don't have a good impression of Japan.One is because Japan did not pay tribute on time after he ascended the throne for many years, and the other is because of the flood of Japanese pirates. Obviously, Emperor Xianzong felt that it was Japan’s responsibility), so Emperor Xianzong didn’t take it seriously. The vast ocean!
Japan is a country where human brains come out of dog brains, so what does it have to do with Daming?
But if it is a fake envoy paying tribute, then the problem will be big, and there will be more opinions.
Emperor Xianzong had to pay attention to this matter: "Ma Yushi, do you have evidence?"
"Return to the emperor, my minister..." Obviously, Ma Yushi has no evidence, and the censor can tell the story, but it is related to the diplomacy of the two countries, even if it is a subsidiary country, ten or eight years It is also a matter between countries.
Wu Youwei took a step forward and said loudly: "Qi Zou the emperor, I have evidence and witnesses."
The courtiers were in an uproar.
Wan An is currently working in the Ministry of Rites. The Ministry of Rites is usually a leisurely office, and he has no real power, but now he feels that the opportunity has come!
"Scholar Wu, don't talk nonsense." Wan An stood up and said righteously: "This is my first court meeting in the Ming Dynasty, and it is of great significance..."
What Wan An meant was to persuade Emperor Xianzong to calm things down!
Because Daming couldn't afford to lose face, and even attacked and wiped out Ma Zhongxi without incident, Maid Wu followed suit regardless of the occasion.
There is a minister who has the same thoughts as Wan'an to support Wan'an.
The arm is broken and folded in the sleeve, don't show your ugliness.
"You also know that the meaning is extraordinary?" This is the first time Wu Youwei saw Wan An. This adult has a Chinese character face, three long beards, bright eyes, and awe-inspiring righteousness. He just doesn't speak human words and does nothing. personnel.
This kind of person doesn't look like a traitor on the outside, but he might be cunning on the inside!
"You!" Wan An was naturally annoyed at being so slighted.
In fact, he tentatively attacked Maid Wu more than once, because he could see that although Emperor Chenghua could chat with him about some sexual topics between men, he never told him about state affairs.
But Maid Wu was able to leave a name in front of the emperor, and even gave him the position of Zuochunfang University scholar in the East Palace.
So inadvertently, Wu Youwei didn't know that he was being hated by others.
"What about me?" Wu Youwei didn't bother to talk to him, turned his head to the envoy and spoke Japanese: "What's your name?"
"Foreign minister, Shan Ming Fifteen Lang." Shan Ming Fifteen Lang was surprised that some courtiers could speak their language, and was also happy that there were people from them in Ming Dynasty who learned their mother tongue.
"How is His Majesty the Emperor of Japan?" As a result, Wu Youwei's second question was about the Emperor, not Ashikaga Yoshinaka.
Yamana Fifteen Lang was stunned: "It's still good...."
"Master Yixiu Zongchun has been appointed as the abbot of Dade Temple. It is really gratifying and congratulatory!" Wu Youwei said, "It is not bad that the Yingren Rebellion has subsided, but a mere general dares to proclaim himself the king of Japan. Do you have to give it to me?" An explanation from Daming? Anyway, I am also the suzerain country. Before you came, Mori Jiro failed, he is already dead, right?"
The more Wu Youwei said, the more surprised the mountain name Shiwulang became, and the cold sweat broke out like grass in spring.
"The name of your country should be Civilization now, right? Oh, the emperor should be Emperor Goto Mimon." Wu Youwei narrowed his eyes: "Emperor Goto Mimon is taboo, and in May of the second year of Cargill, as the Emperor of the Garden The first prince was born. His mother was the daughter of Takataka Fujiwara, the fourth son of the right Masuke. Takacho was a descendant of Takato-ryu Fujiwara, the Minister of Internal Affairs. The adopted daughter of Yaotou and Qi Xiangcheng entered the palace with the son of the Minister of Internal Affairs, Oyomi Mimon Nobumune, and was favored by the emperor to give birth to Koto Mimon."
He remembered this because of Brother Yixiu.
I was fascinated when I was a child, I was very interested in the era he lived in, and then he studied it when he was in college, and later he took the Japanese test, and when he passed the grade, he had some Japanese history. Hard work.
Yamana Fifteen Lang was going crazy: "How do you know?"
The origin of Emperor Gotomimon is not even clear about some common daimyo, because he is from the low status of the emperor's mother's family in history.
Because of the humble background of the mother's family, they couldn't suppress the generals, big names and small names everywhere, which led to the arrival of the Warring States Period.
"I also know that he is the [-]rd generation emperor who lives in the Kyoto Imperial Palace. He proposed to abdicate four times, but was persuaded by courtier Ichiyoshi Kaneyoshi and Crown Prince Katsuhito. The shogunate repeatedly refused the emperor's request to abdicate because he was worried The construction of the upper palace and the holding of the succession ceremony will bring embarrassment to the finances of troubled times." Wu Youwei reprimanded loudly: "And you, Yamana Fifteen Lang, are just a rebellious minister and thief, how dare you pretend to be a Japanese envoy? You Does the emperor know that you are coming to Daming? Such a thing is simply unheard of!
Because of the grand court meeting in the court, there is naturally a translator on the side. Wu Youwei speaks Japanese, and the translator on the side translates it into Chinese.
When Emperor Xianzong heard it, did the ruler of Japan have such a miserable life?
Of course, the general translator did not translate the word "Tianhuang" and automatically changed it to "National Lord". This caused many people in Ming Dynasty to not know that the Japanese King is called "Tianhuang".
In fact, as early as the first year of Wenzheng, there was a dispute over the succession of the shoguns in Japan. The troops of various daimyos gathered in Gyeonggi, and under the atmosphere of imminent chaos, the imperial court held a grand meeting in December.
Not long after, Masayama Yoshizuru's army invaded Kyoto, and the chaos broke out during the years of Onin and Wenming, and Goto Mimon became the last emperor in the Middle Ages to hold a grand tasting meeting.
This war caused the territory of the royal family and nobles in Kyoto to be plundered. Not only was the status of the shogunate in disarray, but the royal family also began to suffer from financial constraints. This affected successive emperors and even held the enthronement ceremony. The imperial family gradually To decline.
Not only were the ceremonial activities of the imperial court suspended, but even the emperor fled to Muromachi, the residence of Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimasa at that time.
After the war, the government was abandoned, the royal family's territory was embezzled by daimyo from all over the country, and the revenue of the imperial court dropped sharply.
Inside the imperial court, it was said that Katsumitsu Hino and Tomiko Hino, the wife of the Great Imperial Palace, were domineering and domineering, and the status of the emperor was like a puppet.
Goto Mimon expressed his willingness to abdicate several times during his lifetime, but all failed. Even after the ninth month of the ninth year of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Tu Mimon died, and the shogunate refused to pay for the funeral for a long time. 43 days, still unable to bury.
Finally, he was buried in Shencao Beiling, and part of the ashes were also placed in Banzhouyuan Mausoleum.
And Wu Youwei said everything he knew that fit this period.
For any emperor, the most taboo thing is to lose power, and the Japanese ruler not only loses power, but also has weak officials and strong officials, who don't even have the ability to protect themselves, abdicate?Under what circumstances would a country leader keep asking for abdication?
