Yao Fang had just returned home and had no time to have a meal, so she told his bride Qin that she would rush out and go to the palace.

While Qin asked the maid to boil water, he went to the room to search for Yao Fang's decent clothes. Yao Fang had been running around the sea for several months, and her skin was roughened by the sea breeze, and she had to take a shower, change clothes and clean up. After all, she was going to see the emperor.

She chose a light and breathable white gauze lining, a straight robe and square flat scarf. She then personally served Yao Fang in the shower, very attentive.

"Why did the emperor summon his husband?" Qin Shi couldn't help but ask him softly.

Yao Fang said: "Before, thousands of people stayed on the beach of North Korea and Korea. There were many civil and military officials in the fleet. They wanted to inquire about the news of Japan, but they all had no choice but to do anything. Only I thought of a way to make friends with a Japanese warrior."

While working hard, Qin said happily: "My father has been studying for so many years and finally passed the imperial examination. He has never met the emperor yet. His husband is really capable."

She thought to herself that if Yao Fang could be appreciated by the emperor and was awarded a title in the future, she could also get a wife of imperial decree, put on a grand dress and go to the palace to worship the queen, and be respected when she returned to her parents' home. Thinking about the scene, she was so glorious that she was extremely excited and immediately had hope.

However, the Qin family instilled too many women's moral requirements in her, and she did not dare to express her desires and thoughts, but she still only said what she should say.

Yao Fang was well-tied and could not wear official uniforms, but she was dressed neatly and decently. He said goodbye to his father and wife, and then got on the carriage and went out.

...The carriage stopped outside the Xi'an Gate of the Imperial City. After Yao Fang got off the car, he was led by a gate-guarding eunuch and went to Xihua Gate along the straight road. After searching and interrogating, they entered Xihua Gate and arrived at the spacious brick-floor square in the palace.

White clouds floated in the clear blue sky, and the glazed tiles on the double eaves of the palace shine in the sun. Yao Fang hasn't entered the palace for a long time. When he came here again, he felt a magnificent scene completely different from outside the palace, and he immediately felt a little bit moved.

On the other side of the Jinshui River to the north, the nearest palace group is Wuying Hall. Yao Fang followed the eunuchs and passed by Wuying Hall, then crossed the Jinshui River, and continued to walk north from the wide brick floor until he arrived at Rouyi Hall.

Yao Fang walked outside the door of the main hall of Rouyi Hall and began to bow and bow: "Yao Fang, the grass man, will be ordered to meet him, long live the priest."

The voice inside said, "Come in."

Yao Fang stood up and finally approached the emperor again. In the ancient and spacious palace, the doors and windows were bright and quiet, and there was a large table in the middle of the hall. Zhu Gaoxu, wearing a group of dragon suits, sat behind the table.

It is difficult for the world to get here, but Yao Fang is still easier than most people because of her family. He kowtowed in front of the table again, and Zhu Gaoxu said, "No gift."

At this time, there were no palace maids and eunuchs, and no officials in the palace. Zhu Gaoxu probably didn't want to summon Yao Fang with great fanfare.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "You went out for a long trip and got a lot of tanning. It is a good thing to suffer a little. You can be more steady in the future and suffer less big losses."

Yao Fang suddenly felt a little kind and hurriedly said, "The emperor taught me so well, and the grass people remember it."

Zhu Gaoxu asked again: "I know you're married and the Guo family has gone. Are you satisfied with the bride?"

Yao Fang gradually relaxed a little and said, "In the past, Caomin was confused, and then he woke up. The Qin family and Caomin had no grudges and humiliation, and were indeed innocent. Caomin had no other choice but to ask his father to propose marriage. Only in this way can he make up for his sins. Later, he found out that Qin was a good woman. She often spoke in a quarrel, but she was very well-educated and spoke very nicely, which saved the troubles of Caomin."

Zhu Gaoxu finally showed a smile on his face and nodded with praise. He quickly asked directly: "What position is the Great Nei Warrior you made with?"

Yao Fang said: "His name is Da Neisheng, he is a guardian, or a monk. There are many vassal states in Japan, but their territory may not be as good as a county in the Ming Dynasty. The guardian Daming is governed by the guardian Daming. The guardian Daming is like a prince, with the power to arrest criminals, taxation, administration, and military power. There is also a guardian deed below Daming, which manages farmers in some villages. Da Neisheng is a guardian deed.

In the local area, except for Kamakura Kunst in Kanto and the various places of research, the officials of the Wu family were all samurai."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "How did you make friends with this person?"

Yao Fang couldn't help but smile and said, "It's just to meet his preferences, compliment a few words, and then give him the benefits he wants. When I saw that he was a bald man, I found a Japanese-speaking person to be a translator and talked about Buddhism with Danai. They could marry and have children as monks, but Danai Sheng had already returned to secular life in order to be an official. Let's talk about the similarities and differences between the Buddhists of the two countries, and they talked very opportunistically.

Ouchi Katsuki is from a samurai family and practices sword skills since he was a child. In fact, it is Japanese sword skills. I also said that I had worked as a general, but because a woman was almost punished for death, she became a businessman. So we used wooden sword skills to practice martial arts. Unexpectedly, the Japanese sword skills were quite sharp in the medium and short distances. I lost several games in a row and could not win him at all.

Even if it was just a competition, the Japanese warrior was very competitive, and I was very happy that Ouchi won. I would have to give him a few compliments and praise him for his superb swordsmanship. I was too lazy to argue with him. If I really wanted to fight in the formation, I would be flirting with a firearm and knock him down with one shot..."

Zhu Gaoxu said, "The country is full of mountains, the place is not wide, and there are few people, and the firearms may not be effective."

He said, lifting up his brush and writing and drawing on the paper.

Yao Fang felt that Japan was poor and short, but seeing that Zhu Gaoxu attached great importance to his opponent, Yao Fang's expression became more serious and said, "I observed that Da Nei Sheng was a show of drawing the sword, and it was indeed very fast. His posture of drawing the sword was to pull the sword back, and using the back of the knife to apply the scabbard. The scabbard was to attack, without any delay, and it was fast and ruthless."

Zhu Gaoxu asked, "How many such warriors are there for a guardian Daming?"

Yao Fang shook her head and said, "I didn't ask about this, but from the words, it was estimated that their warriors had to be without farming themselves. There were not many people; because most of the troops were light feet. Light feet were almost some poor peasants, lacking food and clothing, lacking training. Some people would use bamboo guns and spears, and some people would use long bows."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Don't have any guns-cannons?"

Yao Fang said: "The Japanese from Hakata came to Juji County, but they did not carry firearms. They didn't know whether there were or not, but they must have no cannons. Daiui Sheng talked about Japan's lack of iron."

Zhu Gaoxu then asked, "Hou Xian said in the memorial that the Ouchi clan was dissatisfied with the Muromachi shogunate. Is this matter sure?"

Yao Fang said: "This matter is a bit chaotic. Not everyone in the Ouchi clan is dissatisfied with the shogunate. The authority of the shogunate in Japan is far less than that of our Ming court, and the above government orders cannot be said; it seems that the people are always playing games.

The former family governor of the Ouchi clan participated in the rebellion of Kamakura Kōka and died in defeat. The son of the family governor, Hiroshima Ouchi, was the eldest son, but surrendered to the Muromachi shogunate in the middle of the journey. Therefore, after the shogunate quelled the rebellion, Hiroshima Ouchi became the guardian daimyo of the two territories.

The position of the family governor was inherited by the legitimate son of the former family governor, Hiromaki's younger brother, Morimi Ouchi. His mother was a powerful family, Sanjo clan. So the Ouchi brothers fought in an internal war.

In the end, the legitimate son gained the advantage of his decision with the strong support of his mother's family, and of course he was very dissatisfied with the shogunate. However, the remaining forces that failed had no support from the marriage clan, and could only rely on the shogunate and were more inclined toward Kyoto."

Zhu Gaoxu pondered: "If we had occupied the heels on Tsushima Island earlier and interfered, this would have been even more chaotic."

Yao Fang was stunned for a moment and said, "The Kusmin just tried to put it simply. In fact, before the Ouchi family participated in a war of rebellion, they also participated in a war of rebellion against the rebellion, and got great benefits. It is said that their power has increased greatly and became more arrogant, and they have obtained the guardianship power of six territories... Unexpectedly, the second time was wrong, and even the skilled Ishimiguo was lost."

"Shi Jian?" Zhu Gaoxu suddenly frowned, looking like he was thinking hard.

Yao Fang didn't know why, and didn't understand at all what's special about this place name.

Zhu Gaoxu even stood up from the chair, thinking about something a little anxiously. After a while, he suddenly slapped his forehead, looked suddenly enlightened, and pointed at Yao Fang and said, "Shi Jian Yinshan! I remembered that there is a large silver mine there?"

Yao Fang looked confused and said in a daze: "Caomin doesn't know about this."

"I have never heard of it?" Zhu Gaoxu wondered.

Yao Fang shook her head, and immediately nodded again and said with certainty: "The grass people have never heard of it."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "We know too little, and we have to find a way to investigate. We must not only understand the forces of Japan, but also figure out their terrain, roads, etc. In this way, the imperial government army can pay as little as possible and reduce military expenditures."

Today, Japan is in chaos and can't take care of itself, it does not pose any threat to the Ming Dynasty, and it seems to be very poor. Yao Fang really couldn't understand why the emperor had to intervene.

However, Yao Fang trusted Zhu Gaoxu's ability very much. He believed that the emperor's decision was right without any reason.

Yao Fang made a fist and said, "The grass people have a strategy. The grass people only need to be slandered. If they pretend to be a monk, they can go to Japan and do their jobs as saints."

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at him and shook his head and said, "If I ask you to be ordained, how can I tell your sister? And your newly married Qin family, how can I explain it? No! You can go find some monks and let them go to Japan to exchange Buddhism."

Yao Fang said: "Caomin met many monks at Qingshou Temple, so I'll go for a trip tomorrow."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "It's very good. This matter is a matter of the court. I will ask Wang Gui to allocate funds to you by the inner government."

Yao Fang hurriedly clasped her fists and said, "It's better to let the Caomin ask the Shen family for it. The Japanese people like the most are the copper coins minted by the Ming Dynasty. The Shen family opened a copper mine in Yunnan and obtained the right to mint coins licensed by the emperor. The minted "Wude Tongbao" is very useful to get it to Japan."
