Pillars of the Wu family

Yoshiki Kira called several ministers to the castle tower to praise them one by one. Speaking of the great improvement of the castle town, Yoshiki Kira said happily: "This is all thanks to His Highness Fujitaka! Get twice the result with half the effort!"

"It's all thanks to His Majesty Sakamoto's blessing! Successive victories have built up the prestige of our shogunate, and the residents of Sakamoto Castle Town are all rejoicing. I have been able to smoothly rectify the castle town's internal affairs after I have done my best." Hosokawa Fujitaka very modestly pushed the credit to Kira Yoshi It made him feel very happy.

In fact, everyone present knows that this credit has little to do with Yoshito Kira. It has been less than a month since the Battle of Fukakusa in early August. There was no prestige in the previous month. It was all thanks to Hosokawa Fujitaka and Matsui The unremitting efforts of Yuxian, Odate Harutada, Ninagawa's parents, Ina Tadaka and others.

"My family has informed His Highness Gongfang to transfer you to be our subordinates, and His Highness Gongfang has already agreed, and we will be a family from now on! Hehehe..." Ji Liangyi glanced at them and found the expressions of several people. Stiff, and then smiled and said: "As the governor of the family, I also want to reward the loyalty of the lords... Well! I will reward each of you with a hundred guanwen!"

"Thank you, Lord Master, for your kindness!" Ina Tadashi's family took the lead in bowing down, he was the one with the least mental burden, and the other four looked at each other with wry smiles, and they could only bow down one by one and said, "I thank you Lord Hall Master." grace!"

The few of them are also well aware that they didn't have any good intentions in arranging them to do various things in Sakamoto Castle during Kirayoshi's time. Originally, they also had many ways to refuse the Kira family's request to become an official, even like Hosokawa Fujitaka. The way to get out as soon as possible, but it's a pity that no one can beat Miyoshi's family when Kirayoshi is counted, and also kill Juhe Kazumura, Noguchi Fuyucho, and capture Miyoshi Changyi alive.

This time they were embarrassed. Let alone someone saying that they don’t know how to praise, Ashikaga Yoshito could not agree. When they were praying for a miracle, the most worrying thing came. His Royal Highness Gongfang wanted to leave them as retainers, and they would directly become direct ministers of the shogunate and downgrade to accompanying ministers of the shogunate. The gap was huge, and they couldn't be blamed for their reluctance.

"You guys must think that this is too much for our family?" Yoshitoki Kira sighed, feeling the need to speak clearly, "You also know the situation of the shogunate. The Yamashiro Kingdom has just been taken back, and the government, the imperial court, and the imperial repositories of the temples have also As soon as you get it, life will be much better after collecting the annual tribute of the autumn harvest, but it will only be a little better. The war will continue in the future. The shogunate needs money and food, and the family needs talents. Qinggui can neither help the shogunate, but also destroy the family's foundation in Sakamoto.

Sakamoto is the only source of income for the family, and the only support for the powerful army of the shogunate. No matter what happens in Sakamoto Castle, there will be no mistakes. Selfishly refusing to assist the family to protect the shogunate, how will the shogunate help it in the future?How long can I support my hands? "

"I understand! From today onwards, I will try my best to be loyal to the owner of the museum, and leave Sakamoto's affairs to me!" Several people lowered their heads in shame, it seems that this earnest advice is still effective .

"Well! I hope you can let go of your prejudices, don't care about the difference between direct ministers and accompanying ministers, and don't feel that you are shorter than your former colleagues. We are all for the shogunate and for the great cause of my Genji's samurai. If a diligent and loyal person You still have to be ridiculed, so what should the world think of our Wu family? What kind of face do we have to be called a famous family? If you want to understand these problems, you should work hard to serve the family! The family will always watch you!"

"Yes! I'm resigning!" Hosokawa Fujitaka and others were said to be on pins and needles. They wished they could rush out to do things now. When they got up and left, their movements seemed very hasty. Looking at their leaving backs, Kira Yoshihime sighed softly. : "Don't blame my family. It's really forced by the world. If you don't go against the current, you can only end up in ruins. My family is taking a dangerous road in Huashan. If you don't win, you will die! If you don't thrive, you will perish!"

Solving the head and tail problems of several shogunate ministers, Yoshitoki Kira was finally able to lie down and rest. The spirit that had been tense for several months suddenly relaxed, and the whole person fell asleep as if he had no bones. At that time, I realized that the sky seemed to be much darker.

"Hmm! What's wrong with me?" Just when I was about to sit up, I found my whole body was sore, my head was dizzy and my whole body couldn't lift a bit of strength.

"Your Highness! Don't move! You are sick and your fever just passed last night."

"Is it Aju? Why did I get sick? I was fine, why did I suddenly get sick?" Ji Liangyi was a little ignorant at the time. In addition to being lazy, his physical fitness is absolutely stable compared to most of his peers in this era, which is what he has always been proud of.

"Your Highness is very sick from the wind and cold, and you only woke up after being lethargic for a day. Fortunately, His Highness Qu Naose Shouzhen, who has some medical skills, prescribed a medicine for His Highness, so you can recover so quickly." Aju looked worried. looking at him.

"That's right! It should be because of my exhaustion!" Originally, a child who was more than nine years old suddenly had a heavy burden on him, and he was out of breath. Every day, he calculated how to restore the family business and planned how to Planning out a territory to feed thousands of mouths, and worrying about dealing with the inconvenient Ashikaga Yoshito for the shogunate, one can imagine how much pressure he has been under in the past year.

Aju stuffed the shivering blanket for him, and said with concern: "His Royal Highness rests peacefully and recuperates, as long as he recuperates for a few days, he will recover! His Highness Kansuke has also visited you, and he hopes that His Highness can resume military training after recovery." His Highness Kansuke said that no matter how His Highness’s body has not yet matured, practice is the only way to strengthen his body.”

"Uh, do you still want to practice? Okay! I'll just practice!" Seeing Aju's worried expression, Ji Liangyi suddenly lost his mind. Aju played with him since he was a child, except for his mother. The closest person, even Shengji, doesn't necessarily know him better than Aju, and Aju is powerless to refuse Ji Liangyi's request.

Yoshitoshi Kira just spent the last few days of August lying on the couch. The summer is coming to an end and the autumn harvest is coming to an end. One day, Kira Yoshitoshi felt that his health had recovered, so he proposed to go outside for a walk.

"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I visited Katsuhime at the Sakamoto Imperial Palace, why not Aju accompany me to see Katsuhime!" Yoshiki Kira left this reason behind, and took Aju and twenty people to Sakamoto. The imperial palace not far from the city, just arrived at the gate of the imperial palace, Kira Yoshishi and his group of twenty or so people were stopped, and the leader of several people dressed as samurai told him very politely that this was the imperial palace of the shogunate, and outsiders were not allowed to enter.

The little surname of the Kira family stepped forward and shouted: "Hey! See clearly that this is the imperial flag of the Kamiso Ashikaga family! Stop His Highness Sakamoto, can you bear it?"

"Sorry! Sorry!" Several samurai hurriedly stepped aside and let the people of Kira's family pass by. Yoshitomi Kira glanced at their family crests and guessed that they came from Fenggong from Yamashiro, Ashikaga Yoshito these few months There was no lack of action, and it was not too difficult to win over a few samurai who originally belonged to the shogunate from the Yamashiro country.

"What happened?" Several samurai ran out from the palace. The materials of their clothes were slightly different from those of the guards outside the palace. When the leader saw Kirayoshi, he quickly bowed and saluted: "Nobita Fujita is meeting His Highness Sakamoto!"
