Pillars of the Wu family

Chapter 59 Uncle's Wisdom

() The Nakain family is located in Nakain-cho between Rokujo-oji and Muromachi-koji, not far from Nakain-cho is Rokujo-cho, where another branch of the Kuga family also lives, Rokujo-daji is located in Shimokyo The location is not very good. Although the theory of upper and lower capitals in this era is not recognized by the imperial court and the shogunate, it also reflects to a certain extent the residents' direct perception of the prosperity of Kyoto.

In particular, the place where the Kamo River that runs through the east of Kyoto meets the six main roads is the most unlucky place in Kyoto, and its name is the source of the six rivers.

From ancient times to the present, on the small river beach at the source of Liutiao River, I do not know how many heroes and fierce generals have been buried here. Minamoto Yoshihei and Fujiwara Nobuyuki from the Heiji Rebellion, Hei Nengzong and Fujiwara Tadakiyo from the Genpei War, etc., Nengchen successively Here, after the execution of these losers, the heads of these losers will be hung on the three bridges in the sun, so that passing pedestrians and business travelers can watch and make an example.

Before Kira Manmatsumaru entered Kyoto, he had already dispatched horses to the Nakain family to deliver the letter, so as soon as the convoy reached Liujo Dalu, they were greeted by the Nakain family's retainers. People stand in front of the door and wait.

"His Royal Highness Kira! Please follow me! The governor of the family has been waiting for a long time!" The young man was very agile, without too much red tape, and directly led Kira Wansongmaru into the courtyard, and Kira Wansongmaru whispered. Ju looked up to Sheng Ji and went in alone.

As soon as he entered the Daguang room, he saw a white-faced middle-aged man on the main seat, wearing a black hunting suit with the six-flower gentian car family pattern, and a black hat on his head. The powder on his face was not heavy, at least It can also let him see the appearance of a middle-aged man, and he can vaguely see the appearance of his mother between the eyebrows.

"Wan Songwan, come to Uncle! The last time I saw you, you were only so old. Eight years later, Ai Ji left, leaving only poor you. This is God and Buddha punishing my middle school family Is it?" The enthusiastic middle-aged man is named Zhongyuan Tongwei. The current head of the Zhongyuan family is also the uncle of Saburo Kira. Among Genji's ministers, his status is only a little worse than that of the Zongjia Jiu my family.

Because it was only a family banquet, Kira Manmatsumaru had the opportunity to meet his aunt Yoshio Dai, who was the former governor of the Sanjo Nishi family and the daughter of the second right minister, Sanjo Nishikojo. When she was Jiji, she married into the family of the middle courtyard and became the first wife. Back then, Yoyotai was a close friend of Kira Mansongmaru's mother, so she also seemed very enthusiastic about Kira Mansongmaru's arrival, sitting next to Yoyotai The young man next to him is the legitimate son of his uncle's family, and his cousin is in the middle court.

Zhongyuan Tongyi looks about fourteen or fifteen years old, and he is also wearing a black hunting suit. Although he is only five or six years older than Kira Wansongmaru, he started taking Yuanfu very early. As soon as the son of a minister's family came up, he had five servants, and then he was promoted to the top five, the five bottoms, and the top five. At the beginning of this year, he was promoted to the four bottom guards. It's amazing.

Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, this is indeed an outrageous rate of promotion, but it is not actually the fastest. There are also ministers in the family who have their first sons who have just been born. This happens frequently, and it is not uncommon to be promoted to the third position in your teens. This kind of promotion speed is like riding a rocket. Compared with those hard-working warriors, they can only be proud of the fake officials guarded by so-and-so for the rest of their lives. Yang Yang was so sad that he was urged to death.

Kira Wansongmaru is not much better either, currently he has no Yuanfu, no official position and minors, although he also has the privilege of being promoted to the palace, but this is really not comparable to his cousin, the middle court, Kira Wansongmaru paid a visit to his uncle as usual, and his aunt also A cousin said politely, "My official title has been changed to Saburo Kira. This is a gift from His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness also asked me to be Saburo Kira."

"Kira Kamisaburo? Is this the meaning of His Royal Highness Gongfang? This, this is simply..." Zhongyuan Tongwei was surprised by his new name. I don't know where the scriptures came from, but it doesn't look like his expression is so happy, and there are even some angry colors.

Zhong Yuantong, who had always been like a puppet, seemed to come to life, moved slightly and looked at him carefully, as if he had something to say to his relative who came from afar, but he hesitated and moved his mouth closer.

The seyin-faced Zhongyuan Tongwei talked to Fang Yutai in a low voice, and then said: "Wan Songmaru! Listen to me, stay in Kyoto and don't go anywhere, it's better than going to Cizhao Temple and Sakamoto!"

Of course, Kira Wansongmaru can't stay here, but it's not good to hurt relatives, so he just found an excuse and said: "But uncle, there are still some followers in Sakamoto, Jiangzhou, so..."

Zhongyuan Tongwei seemed to have expected it, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and then he said with a hearty smile: "Then bring them together, my family in the middle courtyard still has some manor property in Yamashiro country, and there is another income in Sakai Town to support several people. Ten people are fine."

"Not dozens of people, but more than 2000 people." Kira Wansongmaru said a little speechlessly.

"What? There are more than 2000 people." This time, Tongwei of the middle court almost fell over. Fortunately, Fang Yutai was right next to him, so he didn't make a big fool of himself. It's just that the couple's faces were ugly, and they had to support dozens of people. He can barely do it, but these 2000 people can't get enough food even if they tie up more than three ministers in the court.

"Wan Songwan, you are too outrageous. Why did Shangluo bring so many people? Do you still want to fight together?" Fang Yutai complained in a reproachful tone, supporting her husband to help him.

"Uncle, Aunt Mingjian, my Kira family has been greatly favored by His Royal Highness, and has been the leader of the public for generations. Now that the public is in trouble and the shogunate is dusty, it is the time when I, Saburo Kira, rose up to help the shogunate! His Royal Highness formerly gave me The title of Saburo is a compliment, and I, Saburo, can't retreat at this time."

"Wan Songwan...you!" Zhongyuan Tongwei was so angry that his hands were shaking. He really didn't expect this little nephew, who was only a few years old, to be so stubborn. anger.

"Wan Songmaru, your uncle and I are here for your own good, how could you talk to us like that!" Fang Yutai was very angry. The child who was obviously very beautiful and lovely was stubborn and terrible. At such a young age, he brought thousands of people Coming to Kyoto seemed dangerous to her and her husband.

"Tell me! Who taught you to do this? Who is so vicious? This is to kill you, to kill Kira's family!" Zhongyuan Tongwei roared angrily, Ai Ji is his sister of a compatriot , The relationship between the siblings has been very good since childhood, but Ai Ji left him forever. As the only flesh and blood left by his sister, he has great enthusiasm and even plans to adopt him as an adopted son.

But before these words came out, there was such a big blow. Someone wanted to kill Ai Ji's child. How could this Quan Da Nayan not be angry? He already believed that someone was instigating him. What does a ten-year-old child know, if no one instigates him to do such a thing.

He believed that Kira Wansongmaru must not understand the inside story at such a young age, so he persuaded earnestly: "Do you know who the enemy of His Royal Highness is? It is Miyoshi Chikuqian! Sanzhu has entered Luo this summer, and the former supervisor Harumoto Hosokawa The imperial palace and the public were kidnapped and fled to Sakamoto, and the new leader is Hosokawa Tsuna who was supported by Sanzhu, can you beat Sanzhu with your ability? This is to kill you!"

"Father! I don't think so!" Zhongyuan Tongming suddenly blinked at Kira Wansongwan, and said loudly: "Wan Songwan is right! Today, the court's rituals and music are collapsing, and the shogunate building is about to collapse. It is precisely the loyalty to When loyal people from the imperial court and shogunate stand up, so..."

"Shut up!" Tong Wei of the middle court interrupted his son roughly, "What do you young people know? Sanzhu's army is unstoppable, Sanhao Daozong San can't stop it, and neither can you! No one who confronts Sanzhu will be safe! Do you know that?"

"But……"

"It's nothing! Tongji, you should go to study "Anthology of Wakata", and you have to check your homework tomorrow, so hurry up!" Fang Yutai quickly gave her son a wink, and the latter could only He got up and left with a look of regret.

"Your uncle and I want you to stay, and all the entourage in Sakamoto will be disbanded! Those Kinki samurai can't stop Sanzhu, and the farmers and soldiers you recruited can't stop either. Wan Songmaru don't go back, I'll give you an order Someone told your diners to disperse." Fang Yutai stood up as if she really wanted to do so.

"No! My entourage is not peasants and soldiers, but [-] Sanhe elites. Uncle, don't worry, Sanzhu will not be too unreasonable to His Royal Highness, and support the new leader himself as the leader. Isn't that just Sanzhu Do you mean to compromise? His Royal Highness is lacking force at this time, with the support of my Samurai Samurai, Sanzhu will definitely consider it seriously."

"[-] elites... Can you afford to support so many people? Do you know what you are doing now? Ah! I'm so angry!" Zhongyuan Tong was so angry that he almost threw his head up, and a group of maids He frantically supported the governor, and after a while he panted and said, "Forget it! I can't control it anymore, you can do whatever you want!"

Kira Wansongmaru was a little guilty, seeing his aunt's face was very ugly, he blamed himself and said: "Master Uncle, please don't be angry, Mrs. Aunt! I, Wan Songmaru, am not a person who doesn't know good and evil, I will definitely remember the kindness of you two, It's just that I have my own reasons, please understand!

"Tell me, you just said that Sanzhu intends to reach a rapprochement, where did you hear it?" Once the question of whether to go or stay is no longer entangled, the middle court has regained the government's keen political sense.

Kira Manmatsumaru breathed a sigh of relief secretly, and followed his topic and said: "Support Hosokawa Utsuna as the new leader and appoint himself as the leader of the leader. All this shows that the Miyoshi family does not intend to completely turn their backs. Harmony must be achieved. No The shogun’s support of Sanzhu’s rule of Kinki is not justified.”

"But Sanzhu still wants to frighten the public party, and then take the initiative to reach peace! Do you think His Highness the public party will agree?" The middle court Tongwei has surprising political acumen, and the questions he raised are also very sharp. Even Kira Wansongmaru couldn't justify for a while.

Then Tongwei of the Intermediate Court raised a more pointed question: "All the people in Kinki are waiting to see whether Sanzhu's unstoppable force made the general submit again, or the general overcame the oppression and made Sanzhu give in. This process is very dangerous. Are you sure you want to Are you on the side of His Royal Highness?"

Realizing that this uncle who loves him is not an ordinary public official, he cannot be persuaded without some real materials, so Kira Wansongmaru can only throw out his own manuscript: "Yes, I, Saburo Kira, decided to restore the family business, It is necessary to overcome the mountain of Sanzhu! The army of Sanzhu surrounded Itami Castle in Settsu and was determined to take Settsu Kingdom in one fell swoop. The Ogosho and His Highness Gongfang are also busy building Nakao Castle. Once both sides are ready, the battle will begin It will explode, and the victory or defeat of this battle will determine who will take the further initiative."

"It's good that you know! Do it for yourself!" Tongwei of the middle court was silent for a moment, then got up and left the room.

Note: Liujo Heyuan is very famous. Ishida Sancheng was beheaded here. People usually think that it is a remote place, but it is not the case. Unlike Shangjing, which is occupied by nobles and wealthy merchants, Xiajing is a densely populated area where residents of Kyoto live. Every time There will be many townspeople and passing business travelers onlookers at Liutiao Heyuan, just like the Caishikou Execution Ground in ancient China. If it is not densely populated, there will be no onlookers. Without onlookers, the purpose of imitating others will not be achieved.
