For several days, Li Yuntian traveled in Kyoto, looking leisurely and complacent, as if he had forgotten the tense tension of Izumi County, which made the high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the Japanese Kingdom in Kyoto quite stunned.

The news that Li Yuntian had gone to Kyoto to meet Ashikaga Yoshihito had already spread in Izumi Prefecture when he left the port of Demizu, and it was now certain that the daimyo of the entire island of Kyushu already knew about it.

On the surface, it seems that this is a good opportunity for Shimazu Mingyun to attack the water county, but in fact, Li Yuntian left so seemingly recklessly, which made Shimazu Mingyun fall into an embarrassing situation, it is not to fight, it is not to fight.

The reason for this is that Li Yuntian represents the Ming Dynasty, and this time he went to Kyoto to meet Ashikaga Yoshihito, who represented the Wa Kingdom, which means that the two will discuss and coordinate the affairs of Izumi-gun, and before the result is out, Ashikaga Yoshihito is likely to be punished by the shogunate if he acts rashly.

Moreover, Li Yuntian's trip to Kyoto showed that he had no intention of waging war against the Wa Kingdom, and the capture of Izumi Prefecture was just to punish the Satsuma Domain, which attacked and disturbed the Ming Dynasty in the southern part of the Ming Dynasty, so that those daimyo on Kyushu Island would definitely not rashly follow Shimazu Mingyun to attack the Ming army and sailors in Izuzu.

Although the army of the Satsuma clan was able to fight well, Shimazu Naruto was obviously unwilling to fight with the Ming army sailors without the other daimyo in Kyushu.

Therefore, Li Yuntian concluded that Shimazu Naruto would definitely not launch an attack on Izumizu during his trip to Kyoto, so that the Ming army and naval divisions of Suijun would buy valuable time to deal with local affairs.

It was precisely because of this that Li Yuntian brought Keiko Yamaguchi with him, and in his opinion, letting Keiko Yamaguchi get acquainted with high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Kyoto would be of great benefit to his future development in the Wa Kingdom.

On this night, a luxurious mansion in Kyoto Castle.

"My lord, Matsuyama Ming has arrived!" Yamana Mototaka was discussing with several close retainers when a subordinate walked in and whispered.

"Biography!" Hearing this, Yamana nodded to the samurai, and the retainers sitting on the left and right sides of his head looked at the door.

"Xiaguan Matsuyama Ming, see Lord Youjingzhao." After a while, a young man dressed in a Japanese robe was brought in by the subordinates who had left earlier, and knelt down to Yamana Mochitoyo.

"Sit!" Yamana nodded to the young man with a smile and gestured to the seat to the left of the lower head.

"Lord Xie Youjingzhao." The young man bowed to Yamana Toyokachi, sat cross-legged and sat at the end of the row of people on the left, he was Matsuyama Ming.

Matsuyama Ming is a student sent to Daming by the Wa State, although the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the Wa State has not been very good, but because the Ming Dynasty is the top empire in the world, so the Wa State often sends students to study in the Ming Dynasty, Matsuyama Ming is one of them, and it is the most outstanding one.

Two years ago, when Matsuyama returned from studying in the Ming Dynasty, he did not choose to join the shogunate and become a retainer of the shogunate, but accepted the official position given to him by the Japanese court and became a judge of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the Japanese court.

Although Matsuyama held an idle position, he was highly regarded by high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Kyoto, including Ashikaga Yoshihito, because of his erudition and talent.

Matsuyama Ming went to Hokkaido Province more than three months ago, and was supposed to stay at home for half a year to fulfill his filial piety, but yesterday he returned to Kyoto ahead of schedule and was immediately called over by someone sent by Yamana Chitoyo.

"Judge Matsuyama, this official asked you, is that person the King of Zhongwu?" After Matsuyama Ming sat down, Yamana Chitoyo asked quietly, I am afraid that among all the people in Kyoto, except for Matsuyama Ming, no one has seen Li Yuntian's appearance.

In order to find out whether it was King Tadamu himself who came to Kyoto, Yamana Mochitoyo secretly arranged for Matsuyama to meet Li Yuntian, and he now wanted to know the result.

Since Matsuyama had a position in the Wakoku Imperial Court, Yamana Mochitoyo called Matsuyama according to his position in the Wakoku Imperial Court, which was different from those of the shogunate and the daimyo court.

"Lord Jingzhao, according to the careful observation of the lower officials, this person is the loyal king of the Ming Dynasty, he once went to the Jingshi Guozijian of the Ming Dynasty to give us a lecture, and the lower officials once asked him questions, so he was deeply impressed." Matsuyama Ming bowed to Yamana Toyochi and replied in a deep voice.

"Oh?" Yamana Chitoyo couldn't help but feel quite surprised when he heard this, and said to Matsuyama Ming with some curiosity, "King Zhongwu still teaches you?" ”

In Yamana Chitoyo's view, Li Yuntian is a military general, and the Daming Jingshi Guozijian is a civil school, and it is really interesting to let a military general teach people from the civil school.

"My lord doesn't know, King Zhongwu was born in the Ming Dynasty, and he once served as the imperial history of supervising hundreds of officials in the Ming Dynasty's Imperial Inspectorate, and later he was crowned a prince by virtue of his military exploits." Matsuyama Ming knew that Yamana Chitoyo had a limited understanding of Li Yuntian, so Yushi replied in an orderly manner.

After all, the relations between the two countries were relatively tense, and there were no official or non-governmental exchanges between the two sides, except for foreign students, so there was limited information about Li Yuntian, mainly because of his military achievements, and Li Yuntian's career was not known, and he instinctively believed that he was born in the army.

"That's what happened!" Hearing this, Shan Ming Zhifeng was taken aback, he knew something about the imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty, and knew that it was very easy to get the title of the gold list, it could be said that thousands of troops and horses had rushed across the single-plank bridge, and he never thought that Li Yuntian, who had made outstanding achievements in war, would be a civilian official.

The retainers sitting on both sides of the lower head couldn't help but glance at each other in surprise, to be honest, when they saw Li Yuntian so young, many retainers had a contempt for Li Yuntian, thinking that the reason why he was able to achieve such great military exploits was because Li Yuntian was a celebrity in front of the Ming Emperor, so he was favored by the Ming Emperor, and those beautiful victories were done by the generals below.

However, when he learned that Li Yuntian was able to pass the imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty and become a jinshi, he was really surprised in his heart, and he couldn't see that Li Yuntian still had such literary talent.

"Matsuyama, what lesson did King Zhongwu give you?" Yamana Mochitoyo was surprised, and looked at Matsuyama Ming with some curiosity, Matsuyama Ming is a figure at the level of a Japanese Jinshi, and his writing is brilliant, judging from his attitude towards Li Yuntian, he seems to have a lot of respect for Li Yuntian.

"Geography of Mountains and Rivers." Matsuyama Ming said, took out a piece of paper stacked together from his arms, and then held it in both hands and said to Yamana Chitoyo, "Originally, Xiaguan could not go to the class, but Xiaguan protested to King Zhongwu, so he was able to enter the classroom. ”

"Why don't you listen to the class?" Yamana Chitoyo motioned to the waiter on the side to take the paper in Matsuyama's hand, and asked a little puzzled.

In Yamana Chitoyo's impression, although the relationship between the Wa Kingdom and the Ming Dynasty is relatively bad, the Ming Dynasty is really good to the students of the Wa Kingdom, and the Guozijian usually gives preferential treatment to overseas students like Xiang Matsuyama Ming, so how can he not let him attend the class?

"My lord doesn't know, because there are two capitals in the Ming Dynasty, there are two Guozijian, the one in the south is called Nanjing Guozijian, and the one in the north is called Jingshi Guozijian."

Hearing this, Matsuyama Ming bowed down to Yamana Chitoyo and said, "Among them, there are no restrictions on overseas students such as Xiaguan in Nanjing Guozijian, but Jingshi Guozijian is different, and the new disciplines in it must be kept secret from Xiaguan and others. ”

"Confidentiality?" Yamana Chitoyo looked at Matsuyama Ming in surprise, he didn't expect that there would be such an anachronistic regulation in the Kyoshi Guozijian, which was inconsistent with the hospitality of the Ming Dynasty.

"Those new disciplines are not the inherent subjects of the Guozijian, but have been passed down from the Jingshi Wutang of the Ming Dynasty, and according to the interpretation of the Jingshi Guozijian, it involves military secrets, so only the Ming students themselves are taught, as well as countries with close relations with the Ming Dynasty, such as Korea and Siam."

A gloomy look appeared in Matsuyama Ming's eyes, "As far as the lower officials know, the new disciplines of the Jingshi Guozijian involve astronomy, medicine, and gunpowder, etc., and the content is extremely wonderful, and if you can learn it, it will be of great benefit to our country." ”

"It seems that King Zhongwu is really not an idle person, and we must not despise it!"

After Yamana Zhifeng figured out that the highest military academy in the Ming Dynasty, the Jingshi Lecture Martial Hall, was founded by Li Yuntian and served as the chief instructor of the Lecture Martial Arts Hall, he was surprised and solemnly admonished the retainers present, and only then did he realize that the young Li Yuntian was really not simple, and he could be described as both civil and military, no wonder he could be in a high position in the Ming Dynasty.

"This is ......" Then, Yamana Chitoyo spread out the piece of paper presented by Matsuyama and put it on the long table in front of him, and his eyes couldn't help but show a look of astonishment.

It turned out that the thing on this piece of paper was a map, with five characters written in Chinese characters, "Map of the Territory of the World", and the five continents and four oceans were briefly marked on it.

"Lord Youjingzhao, this is the pattern of the territory of the world, Xia Guan has verified with overseas students, it is very accurate, with it, you can travel the world." Matsuyama Ming bowed to Yamana Toyochi and said in a deep voice.

"I didn't expect there to be so many countries in the West." Yamana Mochitoyo was quickly attracted by the picture in front of him, and couldn't help but praise it while looking at it with great interest.

"My lord, the lower officials were quite shocked when they first learned about this matter, it's a pity that they can't learn those new disciplines, if the lower officials can learn to help the adults, the adults will definitely be like a tiger." Matsuyama Ming once again showed a regretful look on his face and said with a look of regret.

"Judge Matsuyama, in your opinion, is King Zhongwu a person worth associating?" Hearing this, Yamana raised his head and asked in a deep voice.

"King Zhongwu has a very good reputation in the Ming Dynasty, and he has always treated the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty with courtesy, and the following officials seem to be worthy of interaction." Matsuyama Ming thought about it carefully and solemnly gave a positive answer, "As far as the lower officials know, King Zhongwu has won the trust of the Empress Dowager of the Ming Dynasty, which is enough to affect the situation of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"You've been in Daming for so long, what do you think King Tadamu will think about the shogun's successor?" Yamana Chitoyo nodded when he heard this, and then stared at Matsuyama Ming and asked, this is the reason why he came to Matsuyama Ming, wanting to know whether Li Yuntian would support Ashikaga Yoshinari or Ashikaga Yoshikei on the issue of the successor of the shogun.

"My lord, according to the lower officials, if King Zhongwu knows that His Royal Highness Yicheng is the younger brother of the general, then he will definitely support His Royal Highness Yiqing, because in the Ming Dynasty, unless the emperor has no heirs, he will pass on the throne to other royal children, and if the emperor has heirs, then he usually establishes a prince as the prince."

Matsuyama Ming did not hesitate at all, and answered Yamana Chitoyo's question as soon as he opened his mouth, Daming has a perfect system on the issue of heirs, and Li Yuntian will definitely act according to that system.

Hearing this, the corners of Yamana Chitoyo's mouth couldn't help but show a smile, and a hanging heart finally let go, with Li Yuntian's support, then he overwhelmed Hosokawa Katsumoto on the issue of the shogun's heir.
