On a small hillside in Hengqin, Wei Yunshan had stopped here for some time, and it seemed that it had obviously been more than an hour. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

His arrival was entirely accidental.

Although Jinyiwei began to plant nails in Japan as early as the opportunity for the expeditionary company to tentatively carry out Sino-Japanese trade, it was still a big problem for intelligence work to achieve results in a short period of time.

Therefore, this time Wei Yunshan personally went out because Tokugawa Yoshinao and Yagyu Shibei came here with a samurai regiment.

Sharp weapons make people vigilant, and no one can help but stand on end until they know where the blade is heading.

In addition to intelligence work, Jinyiwei's recent priority is to eliminate all dangers to the safety of His Majesty the Emperor. Two extremely threatening samurai regiments appeared, and naturally they quickly dispatched men.

Fortunately, what makes people feel relaxed is that whether it is Yagyu Shibei Sanyan or Tokugawa Yoshinao, their purpose is not Zhu Cihong.

The discovery was a relief, but it was quickly ...... Wei Yunshan, who has rich experience in intelligence work, caught the anomaly.

"Keep an eye on Yagyu Shibei!"

……

Another sunny day came, and Zhu Cihong rarely slept lazily. And up and down the palace, naturally no one dared to disturb Zhu Cihong, but it was warmed and warmed up early, until Zhu Cihong ran out of breakfast on the tatami mats, which made the chefs breathe a sigh of relief.

Emperor Masahito of Gomizuo seemed to be very proud, he looked at Xingzi, who was a little pale, and seemed to know the reason why Zhu Cihong was lying in bed.

Of course, it's not what Masahito thinks......

Zhu Cihong just didn't sleep too early.

There was no arrangement for the new day, and Zhu Cihong completely gave up the lecture of Confucianism, and directly arranged for Yang Renyuan, an accompanying Chinese scholar, to serve as Shaoren's teacher.

On the day of July 11, perhaps the only important event was that Zhu Cihong held a ceremony for Shaoren to worship Yang Renyuan, a scholar from the Middle School, as his teacher.

Yang Renyuan is Chongzhen's 12-year imperial history, because he once impeached Dongchang and his official fortune was blocked, Zhu Cihong did not like to speak of officials after he ascended the throne, and the imperial history was originally a noble minister, but his promotion was a beat slower than others.

However, this Yang Renyuan is not the kind of person who can only spray people and can't do things, he has a good learning ability, and he has a lot of understanding of the customs and geographical figures of East Asian countries. After Chen Zhenhui visited the Foreign Minister, she took him over and recommended him to the Zhongshu House to show her attention, and only waited for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to be officially established, and then transferred to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

In the past three hundred years, there have only been six in the Ming Dynasty, and new names such as the Minister of National Defense have appeared one after another, and there is no new one. Therefore, there was a lot of discussion in the DPRK and China about Zhu Cihong's opening of a new Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but Zhu Cihong didn't want to quarrel, so he simply waited for a while, lest it be too radical and not end well.

Yang Renyuan felt extremely excited about this new task, as a role model and a teacher for the young, which was something that all Confucian disciples regarded as honorable. Not to mention that it is the master of a country who is taught, and the sense of accomplishment and future influence are naturally leveraged.

Zhu Cihong worked hard, and provoked Yang Ren to make a grand wish again and again, to teach Shaoren with his heart.

Zhengren was only really tempted by Zhu Cihong, and he was extremely excited, and made a wish to promise that the Ming merchants would enter Japan without any obstruction.

Zhu Cihong didn't say much about this, he came to Kyoto, and naturally many businessmen followed.

His Majesty the Emperor's convoy will not be free of tax bandits, and it is the best time to do business. What's more, they have a lot of money in their hands, and they are the uncles of Party A, so naturally everything goes wrong.

If there is no accident, many businessmen close to the emperor will receive a lot of orders and make a fortune.

Of course, for Ming Shang, they are also very profitable.

Kyoto is surrounded by abundant products and low prices, so as the first Ming merchants to settle in, it is natural that they can get the lowest price and buy the most goods.

Leaving aside these details, Zhu Cihong walked around Kyoto a few times, and it was time to say goodbye to Kyoto.

He was going to the Sensoji Temple to meet with religious figures in Japan. Then, the next step was to go to the Confucian Temple in Ueno Ninyooka to preach that Japanese students were going to China to study and take the exam. He also met with the famous Japanese educator Hayashi Luoshan.

On July 16, Zhu arrived at Sensoji Temple in Edo.

This is the oldest temple in Tokyo. Legend has it that 1,000 years ago, in the 36th year of Emperor Suiko, two fishermen fished in the Miyado River and fished up a 5.5-centimeter-high statue of the Golden Kannon.

Later, Sensoji Temple was unlucky and was repeatedly destroyed by fires, but in the Edo period, it was fortunate to be favored by Tokugawa Ieyasu and rebuilt, making Sensoji the largest temple and the favorite amusement spot of the Edo people.

When Zhu Cihong arrived here, he naturally attracted a grand reception from the whole temple.

All the way into the Wind and Thunder God Gate, after nearly fifty zhang of stone-paved avenue, Zhu Cihong finally saw the legendary Guanyin statue.

"It's a pity...... There is no Kusanagi sword......" Zhu Cihong muttered in his heart.

He didn't know that the place where the Kusanagi sword was enshrined was actually Atsuta Jingu.

Walking around Sensoji Temple, Zhu Cihong was basically just an enthusiastic tourist, and the conversation did not involve political speeches. Even if there is a problem that comes with bad intentions, there are also Wang Fuzhi and Chen Zhenhui who followed to block it. Although one of them will always be asked to negotiate by the high-ranking officials of the shogunate, there will always be one who will stay with Zhu Cihong.

For the religious circles in Japan, Zhu Cihong does not have much affection, a group of guys who forbid the people not to eat meat...... Let Zhu Cihong be able to faint out of his mouth for many days, how can he be in the mood to engage in any religious exchanges?

Of course, Zhu Cihong also knew that although there were many forces in the Japanese religious circles, they had gradually become less important since the Edo period.

Today, the shogunate banned Christianity and made it mandatory for all Japanese to practice Buddhism. Although it seems to strengthen religion, it is not much different. According to the practice of the shogunate, each family was asked to determine their sect and then register it at a nearby temple. As a result, under the Tan family system, monks were effectively no longer able to engage in activities other than funerals.

Unlike the populace, the shogunate encouraged the samurai to study Zhuzi, which was one of the schools of Confucianism.

During this era, Zhuzixue developed rapidly in Japan, penetrating into the townspeople, that is, the industrial and commercial residents of the city, and also had a large market among the upper class.

But Zhu Zixue is an anti-religious force that interferes in government affairs.

The result of all this is the decline in the strength of Japan's religious circles, and for Japanese religious figures, Zhu Cihong really has nothing to talk about except for playing.

Where to talk about...... In the ancestral temple of Ueno Shinooka.
