Pillars of the Wu family

()Taijie, this is the most important festival of the year. Every year, the shogunate will hold the Zhengdan court meeting. This year's Zhengdan court meeting will be held in Cizhao Temple. Kira Wansongmaru is the family name of the royal family, and the name of Kira Shangsanlang The first to go to the hall to congratulate the New Year, and then the former governor Harumoto Hosokawa and other shogunate went to the hall to congratulate the New Year many times.

In the Saga-mama of Cizhao Temple, the spacious Oma was originally used as the place where Ashikaga Yoshimasa met with his retainers to handle affairs at the Higashiyama Hall. Corresponding to him is Harumoto Hosokawa in the first seat on the right. This ex-manager's face is not very good-looking, and I don't know if it's because he was kicked out by the butcher last year.

Yoshiharu Ashikaga and Odaisho did not attend this year's Zhengdan court meeting. Looking at the disappointed expressions of some shogunate courtiers who came from afar, Kira Banmatsumaru shook his head secretly. At the court meeting, the direct ministers of the shogunate were still very excited, because the leader of the public, Kira Shangsaburo, brought more than [-] elites from Sanhe. The spread of this good news seemed to give the shogunate a shot in the arm. It will add a bit of fiery atmosphere to the meeting.

"Omi Rokkaku Family Rokkaku Sakyo Doctor Yoshiken ascends to the palace!"

"Yuan court official Liujiao's Zuojing doctor Yixian pays his respects to His Royal Highness Gongfang!"

Ashikaga Yoshito said pleasantly, "Mr. Liujiao, please stand up."

In the 18th year of Tianwen, Rokkaku Noyori retired to give up the position of governor. The successor Rokkaku Yoshiken not only inherited the Rokkaku family, but also accepted the political legacy of Rokkaku Noyori, including taking over the position of Ashikaga Yoshito, because He can now be said to be an important minister of the Ashikaga shogun's family. Compared with his grandfather Rokkaku Takayori who was driven by two generations of shoguns to Koga Mountain as a savage, he is really a heaven and a hell.

Guangzhong sang and said: "The hexagonal Zuojing doctor is generous, 50 taels of gold, two hundred guanwen of Yongle money, five hundred shi of Jiangzhou tribute rice, and [-] shi of tribute tea!"

"Zuo Jing's loyalty to the country is a model of the Wu family!" A group of ministers hurriedly got up and greeted him.

The continuous singing was a salute, and many envoys paid homage to the general one after another. These envoys were important ministers appointed by the daimyo to put on a show. Offer thirty Guanyongle money to settle the matter.

This is nothing new, the Maoli family is also very famous for being stingy. As early as the second year of Tianwen, Mao Liyuan asked the shogunate to ask for an official, and he wanted to get rid of the right horse from five people by name. In the end, he only donated [-] guan. Compared with more than ten years ago, he is much more generous now, at least this time he gave Yongle money.

The Date family still maintains the characteristics of being close to the shogunate and gaining the status of Mutsu. This New Year's court will offer a hundred taels of gold, two famous horses, and two famous swords. In addition, Kitabata, Oda, Saito, Asakura, and Wakasa Takeda, Tango Isse and other famous names from nearby countries also sent envoys to offer a donation.

The Zhengdan court meeting ended in one day, but the congratulatory ceremony lasted for a long time. Some daimyos from distant countries were late because of deviations in the departure time, or encountered some accidents on the road. Not many envoys came, and most of them came in time. Now, the daimyos from distant countries such as Kawa, Hojo, Takeda, Nagao, Shimadzu, Notohatakeyama, Ashina and so on can send envoys before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

After a whole day of busy work, people from nearby countries such as Hatano, Akai, Naito from Tanba, Asai from Kita Omi, Tsutsui from Yamato, and Toichi offered money. Instead, it turned into a banquet. Liujiao Yixian only ordered food for a while, and then left the table on the grounds that he was busy with internal affairs. understandable.

I don't know who started it, but the topic gradually shifted to Kira Wansongmaru, especially surprised at his amazing handwriting of four hundred guan Wen Yongle's money.

"His Highness Kira deserves to be a young hero of the Ashikaga family. I really admire him for showing extraordinary qualities at such an age!"

"Yes! Your Highness Kira, can you tell me about the scenery of Mikawa Kingdom?"

A group of vassals spoke compliments without knowing the truth or falsehood, and they did not forget to spy on the reality of Kira's family in their words. Many officials who knew, didn't know, and couldn't name them chatted attentively with him, whether they were acquainted before or not. Odate Haruki, Kuchiki Haruna, Ninagawa's elder brother, Ogasawara Tanemori, Mimaki Keshige, and Arakawa Haruno all surrounded him.

Among the courtiers attending this meeting were Haruto Mibuchi, Mototsu Hosokawa, Haruken Hosokawa, Fujiken Hosokawa, Fujinaga Ise, Kokichi Kyo, Haruto Tsutsu, Oyo Ninagawa, Masaoyuki Matsui, Haruma Yanagisawa and others. , was very close to this famous family from Mikawa, and one of them, Fujinaga, was the most enthusiastic, talking non-stop about the old stories of his family's original place in Bandou County, Mihe Country.

Kira Wansongmaru can only deal with it casually with a reserved smile. In fact, everyone knows that they don't care about the old affairs of the old sesame seeds and rotten millet. Don't come out, the family is from the four generations of the Ashikaga family, and the closest level of the first ancestors of the two families is from the brotherhood.

Moreover, in terms of relatives, they are still relatives of the Kamakura period. If it is really counted from the Kamakura period, less than half of the shogunate retainers sitting in the Saga Room are close relatives of him, and less than half are distant relatives. Going back 200 years, they were also close relatives in the Genpei era. This is all nonsense.

Perhaps because he felt that he, the hero of the banquet, was left out in the cold, Harumoto Hosokawa, who had been sitting across from him, didn't know what to think, and suddenly asked: "Your Highness Kira, I heard that something happened in Mikawa, can you tell me what it is like?" accident?"

All the ministers of the shogunate kept their mouths shut, looked at each other and no one dared to talk too much, so that the lively scene immediately cooled down. Of course, the actions of the Imagawa family in Sanhe could not be hidden from the shogunate. There was also Deputy General Imagawa Ryotoshi, and many shogunate officials had some contacts with the Imagawa family, but no one planned to mention this at the New Year's meeting.

"Jingzhao, today is Yu's first time hosting the Zhengdan court meeting, so don't talk about political affairs." Ashikaga Yoshito interrupted this topic with a little displeasure. Today is the first time he has presided over the Zhengdan court meeting since he took office. Who swept him away? Whoever has a bad temper will be unlucky.

Hosokawa Harumoto frowned slightly. After waiting for a long time, Kira Wansongmaru did not show anything. With a sneer on the corner of his mouth, he said, "Do you think everything will be fine with the protection of His Royal Highness? It's just that our family never treats this Xiao Gongfang pays attention to it!"

"Why doesn't His Highness Kira speak? Are you scared? It is said that the Imagawa family dispatched an army, and the Kira family also sent people to join the army. Does this mean subordinate?"

"Hiss..." There was a sound of breathing in the hall, and the ministers did not expect that Hosokawa Harumoto would attack a member of the Ashikaga family on this occasion, and he said it so mercilessly. Human scars are not a habit of the shogunate. Over the past few decades, the shogunate has become more smooth and sophisticated. Besides, the Kira family brought nearly [-] troops from Mikawa, and at least half of the Hosokawa family's troops, you Ashikaga family Can my relatives say that about others?

Not to mention the small gestures of the vassals whispering, Kira Manmatsumaru still looked the same, holding the bat fan and carefully admiring the fan, as if indifferent to the things outside, Ashikaga Yoshito's face was ugly, as if he was enduring the anger in his chest Daguan Qingguang was afraid of accidents, so he hurriedly smoothed things over and said: "Today is the first time His Royal Highness presided over the Zhengdan court meeting. I will respect His Royal Highness and wish my shogunate prosperity and prosperity! I wish the Great Imperial Palace good health!"

"I'll be waiting for His Royal Highness!" All the ministers bowed their heads, and immediately after the toast, the laughter and laughter resumed, as if everything just now had never happened. Seeing that everyone dared to ignore him collectively, Hosokawa Harumoto's face brightened for a while. Huibai glared at Kira Wansongmaru fiercely, then got up and left with a flick of his sleeves.

The members of the shogunate looked at each other, and only dared to secretly look at Harumoto Hosokawa who was gradually going away. This Kyozo Hosokawa has been in a bad mood for the past six months. Whoever bumps into his brow at this time will inevitably be severely reprimanded After a pause, it took a long time before the courage to start whispering.

"Kyosuke Hosokawa, what's wrong?"

"Could it be that you lost your mind to Sanzhu and lost your mind?"

When the ministers were discussing, there was one person who was very angry, and that was Ashikaga Yoshito, the prince of the shogunate. Seeing Harumoto Hosokawa leaving in such a rude manner, he had no intention of saying hello to him, the prince, and resigning. It is conceivable how much anger is in the heart of the young public.

"Crack!" There was a sound of porcelain shattering, and the porcelain cup in Ashikaga Yoshito's hand had already fallen to the tatami mat in Zhongyang and shattered into pieces. This complete set of wine vessels imported from the Ming Dynasty lacked only one wine cup.

"Hosokawa Harumoto is despising Yu! You don't need this kind of leadership!" Ashikaga Yoshito lost his temper, and the shogunate officials could only kneel down respectfully. It's enough to have a fiery temper, you Hosokawa Harumoto is also a person who has gone through a lot of wind and waves, why are you still so blunt.
