----------

Hachiro's first time with Nobunaga ended in such a "happy" way. Hachiro followed Hideyoshi to the city, and Hachiro saw that Hideyoshi's large court clothes were already drenched with sweat.Hachiro couldn't help but imagine how Nobunaga's retainers endured decades of changing faces under his command.

Hideyoshi, who returned to the mansion, may have been too exhausted from the meeting in the castle, so he cleaned up early and went to bed. Hachiro also returned safely to Xuanzhu's side and started lunch with Kenjiro.

The next day, Nobunaga's decision on Ukita was also sent to Hideyoshi's mansion, the general idea is as follows:

1. In principle, I agree with the surrender of Ukita. As my Nobunaga's retainer, I am assigned to Hashiba Hideyoshi's Sanyodo Raiders Army as a force.

2. Now that Mitsuhide is ordered to live in seclusion, you, Hideyoshi, hurry back to Himeji and take over the mission of Sanin that Mitsuhide is in charge of, and the Tanba Legion will be dispatched to you temporarily.

3. The hostage Hachiro, I heard that Hideyoshi has adopted Hachiro as your adopted son, so I will hand it over to Hideyoshi to take care of you, and you don't need to stay in Azuchi.

4. Since you don’t want Ako and Sayo, it becomes an established fact. In addition, the whole country of Harima officially granted you Hideyoshi, plus the Nagahama territory and 32 koku.

5. Don't think that this matter is over like this. It was you who said that you can conquer Maoli more smoothly after surrendering Ukita. Now you are given 5 years to complete the Maoli strategy, including all Yin and Yang.

6. The following is not an example.

The fate of Hideyoshi and the Uki family was finally settled after receiving this ruling letter printed with Nobunaga's pressed flowers.And Hachiro found that although Nobunaga's personality is not very good, he is still very reliable in doing things. It was sent along with the ruling letter, and there was also the ability security certificate bestowed by the Oda family. Oda's retainer.

Of course, the Uki family in history belonged to the Oda family, so the Uki family could only face it alone when they betrayed the Maori and attracted the Maori conquest.It's different now, I have someone above me!The Mori family comes to fight Ukita again, and Ukita can ask Anzu for help, and the Oda family is obliged to ensure the security of the retainer's territory.

In addition to the Announcing Letter, there are also two nomination letters written by Nobutada, which express the hope that the imperial court will formally grant Ukita Naoie the official positions of Bizenshou and Misakushou, and further grant the Naoie Dazai Shoji the official position.

It turns out that Izumi Mori of the Nao family claimed to be a petty official from the six ranks.This is just like when Nobunaga claimed to be the chief keeper from the fifth rank in Owari, but later found that the name was too high, and it was not good once, so he changed his name to the chief minister from the sixth rank.

You can call it yourself, but others call it to give you face. If I don't give you face, I won't admit it.But it’s different now. Nobunaga formally requested the imperial court to bestow Misaku Shou and Bizen Shou, which is a recognition of Ukita’s control over these two countries. You must know that these two are from the top five.As for whether the court will reject Nobunaga's proposal?If you think too much, if the emperor and ministers have the courage, they will not lose their power and fall to this point.

As for the further bestowed of the fifth Dazai Shaoer, it is more of a promotion, which means that you are very powerful, and you can be given a higher official position to show your original noble status in the family.

Since Nobunaga's ruling required Hideyoshi to return to Harima immediately to prepare the Maori Raiders, Hideyoshi did not dare to delay after receiving the order. He packed up the things that day, bid farewell to his wife Ning Ning and mother Ah Zhong, and brought his retainers and Hachiro returns to Harima.

When the team passed through Kyoto, Hideyoshi decided to take Hachiro to Gongjiacho to meet the emperor and receive the official position bestowed by Nobunaga.In the Nobunaga era, it was Kikuutei Haruki, who was later known as the glorious game, who was in charge of connecting with the samurai.

This B is known for being able to give birth to daughters. In fact, during the Warring States period in Japan, the princes were quite capable of giving birth to daughters. After all, it is useless to give birth to sons, so they can only be sent to temples.But it’s different after giving birth to a daughter. She can be sold to a samurai family who needs to raise her family status as a wife. Takeda Harunobu took the daughter of the Sanjo family and suddenly gained the confidence to talk to the Hojo family.

Juting Qingji gave birth to 5 sons and 21 daughters in her life. Most of them were successful in investment. The only time she was exiled because she married her daughter to Hidetoshi. After his death, he resumed his official position as the right minister.

Hideyoshi took Hachiro to the mansion of Kiku Ting's family, and Kiku Ting ran out without shoes on. "Ah ha ha ha, I said that the magpies outside were screaming non-stop today. It turned out that Master Hashiba Chikuzen came here. Did you come here this time under the orders of His Royal Highness, or came to find me for your own affairs."

Hachiro looked at Juting Qingji's dress and smile, and thought of Wen Chouchou, who was next to Xiongba in "Fengyun", who was also cheap.

"Yes, and no, this is Hachiro, the heir of the Bizen Uki family. The Bizen Uki family has already surrendered to the lord. The lord specially bestows on Ukita the lord of the country, Bizen and Misaku, and hopes that the imperial court can elevate his rank as appropriate and grant him Dazai Shao Er official position." Hideyoshi said again and again, asking Hachiro to take the nomination letter written by Nobunaga and hand it to Kikutei Haruki.

Chrysanthemum Chrysanthemum took the letter and read it, confirmed Nobunaga's pressed flower and said with a smile, "Since Mr. Nobunaga has invited you, the imperial court will naturally accept it, and the imperial court also believes in the ability of the person recommended by Mr. Nobunaga." Look at others What he said obviously had to be accepted passively. It was said that the court believed that the person recommended by Oda Nobunaga was a capable person.

"One more thing." Hideyoshi continued, "This is the letter of nomination written by Lord Nobunaga, nominating me as Lord Harima." Hideyoshi took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Kikutei Haruki.After Kikutei Haruki quickly reviewed and confirmed that it was correct, Hideyoshi said to the outside, "Ichimatsu and Toranosuke brought the things in."

Kato Kiyomasa and Fukushima Masanori, who were waiting outside the door, came in with a bag on their shoulders and put it at the door, and asked Hideyoshi for instructions and sat in the back seat.Hideyoshi pointed to the two bags and said. "One bag contains the newly harvested rice from Harima, and I give it to Quanzhong Nayan to taste. The other bag contains a gold sentence worth 3000 kan. I hope that Quanzhong Nayan will accept it and say a few words in front of the emperor. sentence."

Or how can Hideyoshi know how to be a human being? Hideyoshi, who came from the bottom of the society, is familiar with human affairs. Akechi Mitsuhide never takes a serious look at P people. The Shibata Mori family has always looked down on Gongqing. The government gave him an official position, money?Nothing.Few other daimyos are as bold as Hideyoshi.Ju Ting Qingji looked at the two bags and smiled and couldn't see her eyes.

"This matter is easy to handle. Zhu Qishou and Yu Xi should go down to rest first, and I will notify the two of you as soon as possible." After receiving the money, Ju Ting Qing Ji naturally readily agreed to this matter. Hachiro saw Ju Ting Qing Ji shaking The fan covered his mouth, and the eyes that looked at the two bags and laughed could not see.

Hideyoshi and Hachiro saw that Kikutei Haruki agreed to the matter, so they left after chatting for a while. Since Hachiro came to Kyoto for the first time, he was full of curiosity about this center of Japan, so he asked Hideyoshi for instructions to have a visit. Hideyoshi then Masahiro Yamaguchi, who was born in Omi, was sent as a guide to accompany Hachiro on the tour.And asked Taoist to stay in Dongfu Temple.

Japanese daimyos like to stay in temples when they visit Kyoto or when there is no sister city to borrow on the way. In fact, the conditions of Japanese dormitories are too poor to accommodate daimyos, and temples are not short of money. , the environment is very good, so it was used as a hotel by many senior warriors.

Hachiro followed Xuanzhu and Qiu Shangjiu, who had been to Kyoto, to visit Kyoto. At an intersection, they saw people watching a performance around a stage. , just like a dancer in the entertainment city of later generations.

"This is the strange dance," Yamaguchi Masahiro said, "The male plays the female role, and the female plays the male role, dancing this shocking dance. Don't look at the dancers who are too tall, they look good, they are all A man." As he spoke, he curled his lips with a relentless expression.

Hachiro had never seen Qingqiwu in his previous life, but only watched animations when playing cards through Taiko 5, but he just thought it was just a strange dance.Today I actually saw it and found out that it was a sex-swapped sex dance, only to realize that I have been led astray by glory.

At the end of the song, everyone on the stage ended the performance, and took out the copper discs to ask for rewards from everyone in the audience.Coming towards Hachiro was a man playing the female role.Hachiro and others came in and took a look. They were indeed very beautiful, with a face that women would envy. Hachiro took out 10 cents and threw it on the plate. He said thank you, and then Hachiro left with a few people and went to the next one. destination.

Walking on the road, Hachiro still couldn't help asking Master Xuanzhu and Qiu Shangjiu's family, "You two were born in Izumo, which shrine has this kind of sacrificial dance?" As a result, both of them said they had never heard of it.

Hachiro already had a clear understanding in his heart after listening.That's right, the character who dances this kind of dance says that he is a goddess from a shrine in Izumo country, do you actually believe it?Goddesses dance for gods to see. What gods would watch this kind of dance?

It is said that Japanese shrines and temples have their own land, farmland, and believers. Will they lack money and need to come to Kyoto to dance?It's just that the Japanese are so simple that they believe everything they say, and even write it in a book and pass it down as a legend.

In general, there is really nothing to play in Kyoto during the Warring States Period.The overall environment is not as prosperous as the Azuchi castle town. What Hachiro doesn’t know is that this is already the appearance of Kyoto after Niwa Nagahide, the left-behind guard in Kyoto, governed. Kyoto was even more dilapidated a few years ago, and the public relied on selling paintings for a living.Every time the surrounding samurai went to Luo, they would loot the capital to use it as military resources. At that time, the capital had no title of king's capital, but it was dilapidated like a ghost town.

The next day, Kikuting Haruki notified Hideyoshi and Hachiro of the news that the official posts had been issued. Since they were only awarded low-level official positions, the emperor did not need to meet them, so the two received the official seals of the emperor and the imperial court at Juting Haruki. After receiving the permit, he left and returned to Harima.
