Pillars of the Wu family

Chapter 26 Butterfly Wings

() "Masaki has worked hard. My family appointed you as the leader of the public. You are allowed to rest for three days before performing your duties." Kira Manmatsumaru is very satisfied with the efficiency of Masaki Hattori, and it is indeed helpful to fetch Muramamaru quietly With a real skill, in terms of this ability, even a hundred horse warriors are not as good as him alone.

"I have something else to report." Hattori Masaki raised his head and glanced at Xiao Xing who was serving outside the door, and Kira Manmatsumaru immediately dismissed Xiao Xing, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Your servant...caused a catastrophe in Kanto, and Mr. Furukawa died."

"What? Mr. Furukawa is dead?" Kira Manmatsumaru jumped up and shouted, "You mean Ashikaga Haruhi died? How did he die? Did you kill him? What did you do? Tell me clear!"

"No! I have absolutely no such rebellious thoughts." Masaki Hattori was also in a hurry, and he knelt on the ground with his head touching the ground, unable to get up. He kept explaining, "I follow the instructions of the owner of the museum to attack at night." The Furukawa Imperial Palace first set fire to the south side of the Qulun, and then caused riots in the west side of the Qulun. Taking the opportunity to drive Mr. Furukawa out of the castle tower, the ministers took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the castle tower and get Muramemaru to evacuate. Everything went well, right? It was a mistake, and it was not until the next day that the ministers learned that Mr. Furukawa accidentally fell into the well and drowned."

"..." Kira Manmatsumaru's expression at this time was indescribable, he wanted to laugh but couldn't, he wanted to cry but couldn't cry, he fell down on the tatami and stared at Masaki Hattori, "You mean the death of Mr. It doesn't matter, he didn't walk well and fell into the well and drowned himself?"

"It's absolutely true! This subject is willing to swear to the gods and Buddhas! Every word, every word that this subject says is true!" Masaki Hattori said again: "The next day there was a chaos in the Furukawa Imperial Palace, and the news of Mr. Furukawa's death came out. Mr. Furukawa The old man of the Fang family, Tian Takasuke, announced that someone killed Mr. Furukawa that night."

"Don't pant when you talk in the future, and finish it in one breath, okay?" Kira Manmatsumaru's tense nerves instantly relaxed, "How could such an accident happen? That unlucky Mr. Furukawa drowned just like that? This is too coincidental gone?"

"I don't know, because it was a moonless night, and I only heard crying faintly. Because the mission was urgent, I didn't go to investigate and retreated. It was probably at that time that Mr. Furukawa stumbled and fell into the well! "Although I don't know what a "big breath" is, I still understand the second half of the sentence. <Yin and her son Umechiyo Omaru were arrested and hanged to death, and then Takasuke Kashita elected Ashikaga Fuji as the new Furukawa lord, and on the same day, he announced the Kanto Crusade with the heads of Yoshichunin and Umechiyo Omaru order, calling on the Kanto warriors to crusade Hojo Shiyasu. "

"What's going on here? There's really no problem with you here? Why did Ashikaga Haru's death go to the Hojo family? The Furukawa family killed the Hojo family's daughter and grandson again. It's all about it! "Kirliang Wansongwan felt that he was messed up again, and was eager to ask the ins and outs: "Go on, what happened next?" The people of the country seemed to be frightened. In short, there was no movement before the minister came back. On the seventh night after the death of Mr. Furukawa, there was a big earthquake. Countless houses collapsed and civilians were killed and injured. Some people say that this is the ghost of His Royal Highness Ashikaga Haru It was causing trouble, and then there were rumors of the Great Earthquake in the seventh year of the Ming Dynasty. "Masaki Hattori said while carefully observing the movement of Kira Manmatsumaru.

"Keep talking! What rumor?"

"A monster is born, a big earthquake!"

"Na... Nani? There are still such rumors? Why has the family never heard of it?" Kira Wansongmaru asked himself after reading a lot of books, but he had never heard of such a thing. Kansuke Yamamoto has always paid little attention to things other than military strategy, art of war, and political strategy, and Okochi Nobusada is a fanatical fan of Kyoto culture. Neither of the two teachers took folklore seriously. , he naturally doesn't know anything as a master student.

"Because in the seventh year of the Ming Dynasty, there was a legend about the presence of Nue in the Eastern Kingdom. According to legend, Nue once ate up all the people in a village. It seems that the ghost of His Royal Highness Furukawa put the demon into Kanto." Let me explain the ins and outs clearly. Nue is a famous monster in ancient Japan. In "The Tale of the Heike", it is a big monster that makes the emperor feel uneasy. For this reason, there is also a legend about the three Larimasa Nae's retreat. .

Now that it was Ye who haunted the Eastern Kingdom, the nature of the matter changed completely. It has been more than [-] years since the Great Earthquake in the Ming Dynasty. , obviously someone is making trouble in the dark, this rumor is intertwined with Furukawa's crusade order, and the target is directed at the Hojo family.

"Odawara Castle, known as the strongest city in the East, also suffered huge losses in this earthquake. Most of the houses in Odawara Castle were damaged, and even many residences of the Hojo family collapsed. The spirit is dying."

"Hiss! So ruthless? This is the old life of Hojo Ujiyasu!" Kira Manmatsumaru gasped. Wraiths are very famous. There were many famous wraiths in the Heian period, such as Sugawara, the god of learning. Daozhen's predecessor was the famous wraith who ravaged the Heian Dynasty for more than 100 years.

Another well-known Resentment Lingping Jiangmen is also very famous. He is called the first ancestor of the Japanese samurai and also planted the root of disaster for the samurai to rebel against the imperial court. So after Ping Jiangmen's head was sent to Kyoto, the imperial court issued the order to "show the head" for the first time.

"Exposing the head" has become a routine intimidation method after the eradication of traitors in the Warring States period, but it has never happened in the Heian period. Exposing the head of the deceased to the public is regarded as a blasphemy against the deceased. For a rebellious person like Ping Jiangmen, the imperial court can use this method to deter the person with a bad heart.

Therefore, when the imperial court announced that the head of the traitor Ping Jiangmen would be hung in front of the prison gate in Qitiaoheyuan to show the public, all the people in the court were angry about it. There were many rumors, such as hearing Ping Jiangmen's wild laughter and roaring in the middle of the night.

A man named Fujiroku Sokon came and turned the head of the door to the east, and then sang a waka: "The fatal wound on the forehead of the gate was given by Tawara Fujita." Therefore, Ping Jiangmen's head suddenly roared: "I want to join my body, and I will fight with you when I go back!"

Then this rotten head shouted "My body!", and flew into the sky towards Kanto, because this incident caused a storm in the city of Kyoto, and everyone was worried that this resentful spirit would not give up. There was a wave of huge turmoil, and there was no new news from the Kanto later, which allowed the court to settle down.

With these two large vengeful spirits as a foreshadowing, Furukawa's vengeful spirits will not be much less powerful. The first seven after death will trigger the Great Kanto Earthquake, and then the "demon life" is the rhythm that will kill the Hojo family. !Who would stand on Hojo Shiyasu's side, there must be something wrong with his head, needless to say about the next thing, there must be troubles in Kanto again.

However, there is another question that makes Kira Manmatsumaru very interested: "Did you take Hattori ninja and do nothing, watching Kanto cause turmoil all the time?"

"The subordinates brought ninjas and also contributed to the spread of rumors. From Hitachi in the east to Ueno in the west, the ninjas of the subordinates are trying their best to spread rumors..." Masaaki Hattori told the rumors he fabricated one by one, such as Hojo Shiyasu wanted to kill Ashikaga Haruji, there are many unreliable rumors that he himself is Kanto Gongfang.

Of course, there are also some level rumors, for example, Hojo Ushiyasu wants to learn from the former Hojo family to kill all the Genji samurai in Kanto, and supports Umechiyo Omaru to be the Kanto official, and he himself wants to learn from the former Hojo family to take power and unify the ten kingdoms of Kanto Yunyun, this is actually not a rumor. The Hojo family married their daughter to the Ashikaga Haru clan, and after the Kawagoe Ye War, they forced the Ashikaga Haru clan to abolish the Ashikaga Fuji clan, who was born to the deceased Mrs. Kota. .

Moreover, the Hojo family has been working hard in Kyoto since Hojo Utsuna changed the word Ise to Hojo, hoping to get a better name from the shogunate to rule the Kanto. He came up with the idea of ​​being the leader of the Kanto. In the past few years, he has presented gifts to the public in Kyoto. He has always wanted to seek the position of the leader of the Kanto. However, the shogunate is not stupid, and has never agreed to the Hojo family's attempt.

The plan to seize the Guandong leader was widely spread in the Kanto. Hojo Shiyasu didn't think it was a bad idea at the beginning. He always thought it was a good opportunity to intimidate the Kanto samurai family. Who would have thought that there would be such a bad thing as the death of the Kanto Kungfu? , coupled with the coincidence of the Great Kanto Earthquake, combined with these half-truths and half-false rumors hit the nail on the head. It won't drop.
