Muromachitan finally agreed to the peace agreement. Both sides decided to sign a treaty in the Yamacai country in the "Kinai" area and hold a ceremony to enthrone the king of Japan.

The Ming Dynasty seemed to have decided to do this, and they were prepared. The Ming Dynasty envoy Liu Ming claimed that he had to wait a few days and send someone back to Hakata Bay to invite the "Send the Japanese Envoy" Zhou Quan to hold the ceremony. Because the Japanese gold book and seal are all in the hands of the eunuch Zhou Quan.

After some arrangements, the two sides took their men to Yamaki Kingdom one after another. Yamaki Kingdom is located in the south of Kyoto, and the ceremony is located in front of Ishiki Hachiman Temple.

Outside the temple, a camp-like place was surrounded by silk cloth. There was a platform directly above, and the general Ashikaga Yoshiki, who was located on the platform. At the bottom, the officials of the Ming delegation, the Japanese Kyomuromachida Temple, were ranked on the left and right.

In addition, the Japanese guards and the Ming army were wearing ceremonial soldiers in their dresses, and were also in the camps on the spot. The signing of the treaty was in full view of the public; the title of this treaty was named as the "Shancheng Peace Treaty".

After the drum beat, Japanese officials knelt and bowed to the general, while the Ming delegation only stood and bowed to the upper position according to their etiquette.

Then a Japanese man wearing a flowery and satin robe and a tall hat walked to the side of the platform and began to read out the contents of the treaty in both Chinese and Japanese languages.

The substantive content has been discussed, but the words on paper are very tactful.

The document first describes the friendly past between the two countries. In the Tang Dynasty, Japan sent envoys to Tang and fought side by side with the Tang army during the Anshi Rebellion. Japan has paid tribute and trade many times in the past dynasties. Therefore, it is necessary for the two countries to continue the etiquette of the monarch and his subjects and live in harmony.

However, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, misunderstandings and estrangements have arisen between the two sides regarding the Japanese pirates and the killing of the Ming envoys. These conflicts are all because there are treacherous ministers in Muromachi Temple, which confuses the Ashikaga family. Therefore, as long as those people are arrested and punished according to the law, the two countries can still repair their relationship, turn wars into jade, and further intimate exchanges.

The Ming Dynasty officials were allowed to build a "Envoy City" in Hakata Bay. Yu Ishimi and Izumo Kingdom garrisoned the troops. The Japanese Kōmuromachi Temple and local governments were guarded, and the title of emperor and their reigns were not allowed to be mentioned in foreign documents. The Japanese official name of the Japanese king enthroned by the Ming court was signed...

After reading the treaty, they were sent to Ashikaga Yoshiki, and the envoys of the Ming Dynasty inspected and read it, and then signed and printed them.

On the Ming Dynasty mission, a civil servant was watching Ashikaga Yoshiki on the stage while painting on the spot.

The atmosphere seemed to be condensed at this time. The crowds on both sides were very abide by the rules and no one was making noise, but the huge camp seemed very deserted. Ashikaga Yoshika felt the tension of shame, anger, but patient from the crowd of officials and samurai. Especially those middle and lower-level samurai, their expressions were very serious.

After the contract was signed, no celebration program was arranged on the spot. Only some guards brought wine and everyone drank together.

The signing ceremony was soon completed, and Ashikaga Yoshitsuka got up and left. Half an hour later, the envoy of the Ming Kingdom would go to another place to hold the ceremony of canonizing the "King of Japan".

There were very few people in the canonization ceremony, and only the generals from Ashikaga Yoshiki and Muromachi Temple needed to participate, so they still didn't take much time.

After Ashikaga Yoshikata attended, he immediately returned to Sanjoba Mansion, Kyoto with his entourage. As for the reception of the Ming Dynasty delegation and farewell, Ashikaga Yoshikata had no interest in paying attention to it.

According to the agreement between all parties and Ashikaga Yoshiki, Yoshiki now only needs to wait for a while before they can announce their abdication; and the governors of each family support Yoshiki's younger brother, Ashikaga Yoshiki of Akiriya, at Yamagaki's Ishiki Hachimangu Temple, to support Yoshiki's younger brother, Ashikaga Yoshiki's Akiriya's Akira Inn, as the new general of the Conquering Yi.

For several days, Yoshiji spent his days in depressed mood. Sometimes he felt that he had never been to the Shancheng Kingdom, and what had happened recently was just a false dream.

Sanjo Mansions, and even the entire Kyoto, were indeed very calm, and it seemed that nothing had happened. It was not the wind or the sails, the only turbulent one was just Yoshiji's heart. He felt that things might not be that simple and would end.

At this moment, the nearby servant reported that Tomokashi Mancheng, the retainer of the Ashikashi family, had an urgent matter to ask for a meeting. Yoshiki immediately ordered Tomokashi Mancheng to come to see him.

After waiting for a while, Fuka Mancheng walked in with an anxious look on his face and hurriedly knelt down under the main hall to greet him.

Tomokazu Mancheng said: "The lord's brother Yoshitsuki suddenly left Kyoto and galloped towards Kanto."

"How can he leave?" Ashikaga Yoshiji's heart skipped a beat.

Sure enough, the rebellion that should come will always come, but it seems to come too quickly. Ashikaga Yoshiki secretly planned that Yoshitsuki went to Kanto, so was the person who intended to rebel?

The powerful protection of Kinki region, Hosokawa, Spo, and others have reached a consensus with Ashikaga Yoshiji, and they should support Muromachitan to quell the rebellion? After all, at this time the "mortal court" (Kyoto) is in turmoil, and it is not a good thing to effectively protect these controls and hinder Kinki.

And the most

The reason why Li Yi was heartbroken was his half-brother Yi Si, who actually put personal grudges first in the face of national difficulties!

The former general Ashikaga Yoshima initially had no legitimate son, and the sons were all born to the side of the sect; so at first he chose Yoshima as his heir. Unexpectedly, Ashikaga Yoshima's wife later gave birth to a legitimate son, Yoshizuki. Ashikaga Yoshima once introduced Yoshima to the emperor, and seemed to have the intention to change the heirs.

But at that time, Yoshihisa Ashikaga had already grasped the real power of the Muromachi Temple's guards, and it was quite difficult to change the heirs; and Yoshihisa Ashikaga suddenly died, and Yoshihisa Ashikaga gained the power of the general of the throne. This incident led to rumors that Yoshiki killed his father; and due to years of heir disputes, Yoshiki Ashikaga and his younger brother Yoshiki also had a very bad relationship.

But no matter what, the two are brothers after all; at this difficulty, Yoshiji should not ignore the country and cause unnecessary civil strife!

At this time, Fuka Mancheng said in a voice: "Someone..." He said this, turned his head and looked at it, looking embarrassed, "There is an important person in Luoyang who has betrayed it."

Ashikaga Yoshiji said: "Who?"

Tomokazu Mancheng wanted to speak but stopped, and then crawled forward without authorization. Seeing this, Yoshiji Ashikazu frowned and felt unhappy.

"Ah!" Suddenly Tomokazu Mancheng jumped up and rushed straight to Ashikaga Yoshiji.

Ashikaga Yoshiji was anxious and his face pale in an instant. In an instant, all he could do was fear in his heart, because he had never expected the situation in advance! Ashikaga Yoshiji was already worried that he would be in danger of his life, but he did not doubt this retainer who served him.

Yoshiki reached out to his waist and wanted to draw his sword; but in the flash, he instinctively judged that Tomokashi Mancheng would first shoot the sword. Of course, Yoshiki could not hesitate at all, immediately rolled on the ground and grabbed a wooden table with both hands.

"Click!" With a loud bang, the Japanese knife stabbed through the wooden case directly, and the blade almost stabbed Yiji's face.

The knife was stuck in the wood, and it took some effort to pull it out. Ashikaga Yoshiki, the general of the Conquering Yi, was also a samurai who had been practicing "sword skills" since childhood. He immediately responded correctly. He sent the wooden case forward, which could offset the strength of Fukaman's sword drawing.

Then Ashikaga Yoshikazu let go of the wooden table and reached out to draw his sword.

"Brush! Brush!" The light of the knife flashed in the air. In an instant, Tokushi Manzen had already given up the long knife, the short knife first, and stabbed Ashikaga Yoshiji's throat with one knife!

Ashikaga Yoshiki felt a chill in his throat, opened his mouth wide, staring at Tomokashi Mancheng. The knife on his waist had just been pulled out halfway, and his movements could no longer continue. His strength seemed to start to pull away from his body instantly, and his whole body was stiff for a moment.

Why?

Tokushi Mancheng is a member of the Ashikaga family. What benefits can he get by assassinating | Killing his lord? Who is the behind-the-scenes commander?

Ashikaga Yoshiji's heart was filled with confusion like a fog, but he could no longer say a word. The "fog vapor" in front of him became thicker and thicker, and the person fell down with a "thump".

A word came from his ears, which was a voice that made him die with his eyes: "Heaven punishes the traitor!"

...At this time, the guards outside the door rushed into the main hall. Some people pulled out their Japanese swords and carefully surrounded Furumancheng's side. Some people held the handle of the knife and stared at Furumancheng, and immediately attacked when they were about to use the knife.

"Dang!" Unexpectedly, Fuka Mancheng suddenly threw the short knife in his hand on the ground. He said, "Although I offend you, I will be loyal to the country. Do you want to be his party? "

Suddenly, a samurai shouted "ah", held the knife in both hands, and rushed towards Toshima Mancheng.

"Stop!" A general roared.

The samurai who held the knife stood there, still staring at Tokushi Mancheng.

The military general behind said: "Fuzuman is bound to achieve success, arrest him first and hand him over to the custody to convict."

When Fusumancheng heard this, a smile seemed to appear on his face that was not easy to detect, and he was relieved. The guards surrounded him one after another, and someone used a knife to lift the short knife on the ground, and then suddenly rushed forward and pressed Fusumancheng to the ground.

Not long after, more people came to the main hall. They saw the general's body and talked a lot. Then two women came, and they knelt down on the ground and cried. One of them pulled out the short sword in his arms and wanted to kill Fuku Mancheng with his hand. Everyone grabbed it to avoid bleeding again.

At this time, Muromachi Temple administrator urgently needed to come forward and preside over the court for the time being. However, someone said: "After the ceremony of Yamacai Kingdom, the three governors of Hayama, Hosokawa and Spo did not return to 'Luoyang'. I heard that they had returned to the throne country!"

Yoshinori Chisong (one of the four responsibilities) returned to Luoyang. Chisong received the news and rushed to Sanjo's mansion. When he saw the general lying in a pool of blood, he immediately sighed to the sky, showing a sad and sympathetic look on his face.
