Chapter Thirty-Three: The Forefoot Makes the Hind Foot Kou (I)
After spending a sleepless night in the Xiahui Hotel in Okayama City, Chen Keyuan was bent on completing the orders entrusted by Governor Hu, and then immediately returned to his homeland, not daring to stay in the Wa Kingdom, for fear of following the example of Jiang. He didn't know that there were already many self-proclaimed cynics and corrupt officials who were all waiting for his return, the former used a kind of high in the mountain to pretend to stand high on the high platform of truth to guide the country, thinking that the envoy to the Japanese country was a messenger, just like the angry youth of later generations, and the latter thought that the Japanese country had gold and silver mountains and was contaminated with wealth after a trip back and forth, just waiting for his return to ruin his reputation and take away his family wealth.
The next morning, Miyahara was coming, and there were more than ten people who came with him, and their attitudes all became more attentive, which made Chen Keyuan more vigilant, and the two guards who came with him looked arrogant.
These two guards were the brocade guards sent by Governor Hu, and there were more than ten people when they originally set off, but they encountered wind and waves on the way, and they were chased and killed by the East Asian One Piece Group during their stay in Hirado, and there were only two people left when they arrived at Tokuoyama Port.
Miyahara is very strange, why this envoy always has a hint of cringe in his temperament, and he didn't feel that he looked at it twice, and he couldn't ask directly at that time, and his doubts existed in his heart, and his face was still courteous, so he put a sedan chair and invited the three of them to go.
Chen Ke was willing to ride in a sedan chair, and the two guards rode horses, not directly to Okayama City. Chen Keyuan's face was slightly puzzled, and he opened the curtain directly, and asked the guards of the Date family who followed, "Aren't you going to Okayama City?" Where is this going? β
Followed in the sedan chair was Hattori Masanari, a descendant of the Qin people, because the upper echelons of the public family were proud to speak Tang Yin, so he learned Tang Yin at a very young age, but with an obvious Wu accent in his words, he replied: "My lord has prepared a cherry blossom viewing banquet for the envoy in the Vajra Wheel Temple. β
Chen Keyuan was slightly surprised, he never thought that a young man with shaved hair and a uniform would be able to speak Wu. Although there are some awkward words, it is much better than others, and I don't think I asked: "Your ancestor is a Ming person." There is a slight hint of inquiry in the words, if the answer is really Mingren, then he has no intention of talking, you must know that most of the Mingren who stay in the Wa Kingdom are Wako. Talking to a son or grandson of a Japanese coward is suspected of being a Japanese cohort, and it is too late for him to avoid suspicion.
Hattori Zhengcheng respectfully bent down and bowed his head and saluted: "The junior minister Qin Zhengcheng, the ancestor is a descendant of the Wu people in the Qin era Dongdu, more than 1,700 years ago, the minister can speak this Wu language or his father forced him, thinking that the ancestral sound is immutable." β
Chen Keyuan never thought that a descendant with the blood of the Qin people would still remember the immutable truth of the ancestral voice, and he was in awe, but he didn't know that Hattori Masanari's words were taught to him by his lord himself, and even if it was a name, it was temporarily changed.
Hattori Masari's respectful attitude, familiar Wu Yin, and extremely touching story. Looking at the young man in front of him with a mature mind that was not commensurate with his age, Chen Keyuan was very surprised that he had calmed down, and asked, "It is rumored that Dazai Daer is only twenty-six years old, I don't know where he comes from?" β
Anyone who first hears of Date Masahiro's achievements has such doubts. If a Japanese person inquires, Hattori Masanari is afraid that he will have to cut it with a knife, thinking that he is humiliating his master. No one in the Wa Kingdom knew who knew about Date Mashiro's humble family, and asking a question about a retainer loyal to Date in person would immediately lead to a dispute. Hattori Masanari glanced up at Chen Keyuan. The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, thinking that the other party did not know the actual situation of the Wa Kingdom. He replied: "My lord is a descendant of Fujiwara Yamagaku, at the age of eighteen, he felt that the world was chaotic and the people were miserable, and he made a grand wish for peace, only two samurai and more than 30 soldiers around him, starting from the end of the micro, after seven years of hard work, it has now grown to 100,000 soldiers. β
If ordinary people heard Hattori Masanari say this, they thought that he was boasting that Chen Keyuan had stayed in the country for three years. Since setting foot in Okayama Port, I have also heard a lot about this Dazai Daiji from the people of his subordinates and townspeople, and it can be said that it is quite legendary. Looking at the reverent expression on Hattori Masanari's face when he talked about Dazai, it didn't seem to be fake, Chen Keyuan had a little more exploration of this young man who had one of the six points in the world, even in the Ming Kingdom. Such a person who started from the end of the micro can be regarded as a hero.
Chen Keyuan did not have the idea of continuing to talk about it, and looked forward to the upcoming negotiations.
Kongolunin Temple is actually not far from Okayama Castle, to the temple gate tall torii gate towering, there are several torii gates have not yet been erected, busy craftsmen have long since retreated, Kongolunin Temple is the old temple expansion, but the south courtyard has a large area of cherry blossoms left by the original owner of the cherry blossoms blooming.
Zhengheng is discussing tea with the new host of the Vajra Wheel Academy, and also his diplomatic monk Zhu Yun Huixin, and today he is also enjoying the cherry blossoms with the Ming envoy Date Masahiro, Noyama Masato, Ishikawa Hisada, Miyahara Masashige, plus Zhu Yun Huixin. Noyama Masaasa and Ishikawa Hisataka went to meet the envoy, and Miyahara was leading the envoy to arrive, while the remaining two waited while enjoying the cherry blossoms.
Zhu Yun Huixin was originally a diplomatic monk of Maori Yuan, and later under the pull of Zhengheng, to be precise, since Maori Yuan died, the Maori family was unable to resist the strategy of the Date family, and he abandoned Maori to join the Date family under the judgment of the situation.
Zhengheng also treated this close person of the Maori Yuan Dynasty favorably, and the presiding officer of the Vajra Wheel Temple of the Rinzai Zen Buddhism was entrusted to him, and his status in the Rinzai Zen Buddhism was increasing day by day.
Zheng Heng took a sip of tea and said, "Zen Master, I don't know where Hui Qiong is practicing now?" "Hui Qiong is Hui Qiong of Anguo Temple, since three years ago after the envoy and the mountain city, he separated from his teacher Zhu Yun Huixin, wandering in other countries, in order to seek the Buddha in his heart.
Zhu Yunhui said worriedly: "The apprentice did not bring a letter in the first two years, so that the poor monk was very worried, thinking that there was an accident, and he never thought that a letter was suddenly handed over three months ago. β
Kuaikawa Shaoxi is a senior monk of the Rinzai sect, born in the famous Mino Toki clan. The practice of the method of inheriting the life of the heir Renxiu Zongshou was born in the 43rd generation of Myoshin Temple, and later entered the Mino Chongfu Temple to live. Due to his involvement in the dispute between Mino Saito's father and son, Saito Yoshiryu provoked a Zen rebellion after killing his father, and supported DaryΕ«ji Temple to become the main mountain of Mino of the Rinzai sect Myoshinji sect. Kuaikawa Shaoxi was defeated and expelled. Now the order of Kyoto Tofukuji Temple, the history of Saito Yoshiryu two years after the death of the return to Japan, five years later to Takeda Shingen to serve as the presiding officer of Yamanashi Erinji Temple, 23 years later chanted "Anzen does not have to be a landscape, extinguish the fire in the heart from the cool" died in the fire.
Zhengheng never thought that Anguo Temple Huiqiong would worship under the door of Kuaichuan Shaoxi, this Zen master of the Rinzai sect who left a strong mark in history. In later generations, the teacher of the same clan, who once said, "I wish to be born twenty years early, and achieve the hegemony of Nobunaga", Toraya Sooyi, studied under Kuaikawa Shaoxi.
Zhengheng nodded and said: "Zen Master Kuaikawa Shaoxi is a senior monk of the Rinzai sect Miaoshinji sect, and now that the war in Kyoto has broken out again, if Zen Master Kuaikawa Shaoxi is willing to come to Okayama to build a temple of the Miaoshinji sect, you can take a boat from Wakasa to Tango Province, and my family will soon move into Tango." β
The Tango Isshiki clan has been fighting with the Wakasa Takeda clan for a long time, and the fighting between the small Tango domestic guardians and guardian generations and wealthy clans, plus the Wakasa Takeda clan comes to raid from time to time. As a result, the various forces in Tango are fighting endlessly.
Zhu Yunhui is worried about the upcoming Kyoto War, you must know that now Ishiyama Honganji has accumulated enough strength, and other sects are also accumulating strength, once it breaks out, it will be even more fierce than the Onin Rebellion, Kyoto is afraid that it will be destroyed again, and the temples near Kyoto are afraid that they will be destroyed in the war.
Only apprentice Mo Ruoshi, Zhu Yunhui knows the character of his apprentice. Knowing that he was afraid that he would die with the temple, he said, "I'm afraid this matter will not be easy." However, the poor monk will still do his best, but I don't know what His Highness's attitude was in this Kyoto War, and whether he participated in the war? β
Nowadays, a situation has gradually formed in Kinai, where the western army led by Ishiyama Honganji Temple and the eastern army led by the Tendai sect are contending, and both factions are trying to attract various forces to join in, whether it is the temple family or the samurai family.
Once the pull is done. It's time for war. Both the Eastern Army and the Western Army were quite jealous of the Date family, which monopolized one of the six parts of the world, and at the same time sent envoys to win over, and whoever would get the support of the Date family would have a greater chance of winning.
Except for themselves. No one has a good impression of the Ishiyama Honganji Temple, even Zen Buddhism is not willing to be with him, and he joined the Eastern Army led by the Tiantai Sect early, Zhu Yun Huixin will certainly not be an exception, there are many people who ask him to ask Zhengheng for a choice, Zhengheng is mostly concerned about him, and has not expressed his position, which is also one of the reasons why the conflict has not broken out for a long time, and Ishiyama Honganji is also afraid that it will be taken to the nest under the dispatch of the nest. You must know that since the Miyoshi family separated, the Awaji Navy Antaku Fuyasu died, and part of the Ataka Navy followed Miyoshi Minoru to Awa, and the other part was under the command of the Date family, and together with Awaji Island, it has also been included in the rule of the Date family.
Zheng Heng's face was calm, and he said: "Morally, I am inclined to the Eastern Army, but logically I want to choose the Western Army." At the same time, whether I choose the Eastern Army or the Western Army, a major battle that I have never seen before will break out in Kinai, and there will be thousands of casualties, which is the real reason why I can't make up my mind. Now I can only drag it out, and if I delay it for a day, the people will have a day of peace, and if it is delayed for a while, there will be a moment of peace, and it will be delayed until the day when the eastern and western armies have to stop fighting and compromise. "If things are as they say, then it would be fine. Originally, the Great War in Ki was fueled by political balances, where would they compromise the opportunity for a truce, he just wanted the Eastern Army and the Western Army to accumulate more strength, and held it until it had to break out, and then it would be violent.
Zhu Yunhui listened to Zhengheng's words, nodded slightly, and indeed as Zhengheng said, choosing the Eastern Army, I am afraid that the Western Army will first disturb Date before fighting with the Eastern Army, and the Eastern Army will probably watch from the wall with peace of mind, so there are two kinds of morality and reasonableness.
Similarly, Zhu Yunhui knows that now it is like suppuration in Jinai, and it will not be good if the pus is not squeezed out, and the more time passes, the more pus will be, and when the time comes, not only will it not be good, but it will spread, but he can't say that Zhengheng's wish is wrong.
Zhengheng saw that Zhu Yunhui's heart fell into painful contemplation, so he stopped speaking, looked up at the cherry blossoms that were fluttering one after another, and thought of the war in Jinnei, hey, the Eastern Army, the Western Army, and the Date family didn't know who to choose, and it couldn't be delayed for a long time.
Ishikawa Hissataka hurried over and said, "The envoy is here." "Everyone listened to Zhengheng yesterday and exposed the identity of the envoy, not only did they not snub the envoy in the slightest, but they became more earnest, it was really the reputation of that person, the strongman who trapped the One Piece King of East Asia.
Zheng Heng got up and looked over, and saw a man dressed in a variegated disc collar shirt, wearing a four-belt scarf, with an ordinary appearance and a thin figure, except for the sharp eyes, he couldn't see anything special, but when he thought that he could travel thousands of miles to the east to the country, and he was trusted by someone, of course, it couldn't be an ordinary character.
Zhengheng arched his hand and said loudly: "The person who came is Chen Keyuan, Chen Jingxiu, a certain Fujiwara Zhengheng has been waiting for a long time, please take a seat, and enjoy the cherry blossoms and tea with me." β
Chen Keyuan was taken aback, it was better to meet than to meet, and he was stunned when he heard that the master he was going to meet was a young man who was only twenty-six years old. The appearance of the political balance is not bad, and the temperament tempered by the unbelievable encounters and the experiences of the two lives is not comparable to the idle princes.
What surprised Chen Keyuan even more was that Zheng Heng could speak fluent Beizhili official dialect, although he had some awkward accents, he was more proficient than some students from all over the country who had studied for two or three years, coupled with the tranquility of being pampered and humiliated, he couldn't help but take a few more looks.
Chen Keyuan replied: "I want to do what I want." With that, he sat down on the tatami mat at the invitation of Zhengheng.
Zheng Heng was slightly stunned when he saw him sitting so calmly, and said in surprise: "This person should have stayed in the Wa Kingdom for a long time!" But as if inadvertently, he asked, "I don't know what the envoy came to do at the behest of Governor Hu?" β
Chen Keyuan looked back in astonishment, he was the envoy of the Zhu Ming Dynasty to the outside world, and he never revealed that he was the envoy sent by Governor Hu, but he never thought that something was wrong, so people could see it, and smiled embarrassedly: "I don't know what Lord Dazai means?" β
Zhengheng saw that Chen Ke was willing to reveal his identity, so he also played a haha and stopped talking about it, he just wanted to beat him up, and he showed his deeds in shock, but he didn't talk back, but it was not good to force it.
Zheng Heng pointed to the sky and said, "What do you think of today's weather?" The gloomy gray sky of early spring is called 'Sakura Yin', which is also very charming. (To be continued.) )
