Pillars of the Wu family

On October [-]th, Hosokawa Harumoto was really invited out by Ashikaga Yoshito. He thought that the little general would change his mind and reuse him. When he heard that Miyoshi Changqing was seriously injured, the shogunate was going to send troops to attack Akutagawa who did not have Miyoshi Changqing. In Shancheng, he immediately took over the position of general with full confidence, and promised to fulfill the great trust of His Royal Highness.

He didn't ask what Kira Yoshitoki was doing, and why the Hosokawa family who drove him away agreed to cooperate with him, so he took the two thousand troops of the Hosokawa family and released two thousand people from the Yamashiro country. The crowd gathered, and invited his brother-in-law Liujiao Yixian to help him with five thousand troops, and marched all the way to Jiechuan Mountain City.

At the beginning of another round of fierce battles in Kinai, the imperial court's amnesty came quietly in early November. Two people came here, namely, the samurai master Quan Nayan Hirohashi Guoguang, and the right guard Quan Zhimingyuan Jirui. Came to Sakamoto Castle with the court's decree. Yoshishi Kira warmly entertained the court envoy. After the guests and hosts had a good time, Hirohashi Kunimitsu announced the latest appointment of the court.

Hirohashi Kunimitsu coughed twice, took out the court's amnesty and read it aloud: "Shangqing Hirohashi Power Da Nayan Guoguang, Tianwen 19th November [-]rd, Zuobingwei Zuoyuan Yoshishi should serve as an attendant, Kurentou Youjinwei Lieutenant General Fujiwara Kiki."

"Chenyuan Yoshitoki leads the order!" Kira Yoshitoki accepted the appointment lightly without blinking an eye, and the five attendants were the new official positions of Kira Yoshitoki.

Hirohashi Guoguang and Chimeiyuan Jiguo congratulated with a smile: "Congratulations to Your Highness Kira! His Majesty the Emperor and the court ministers are all rejoicing for making great contributions to the imperial court. The law is strict, and it is not a problem to use His Highness Kira's achievements to tell the four officials!"

"Your Highnesses are too well-respected!" Ji Liangyi casually chatted with the two ministers for a while, and they got up and said goodbye with great interest.

In addition to Yoshitoki Kira's promotion, Tokiyuki Yamamoto was also appointed as the Sado guardian by the six officials, and Masashi Naito was also appointed as the second lieutenant of Xiazaemon by the seven officials and Mashige Takikawa because of his meritorious deeds to kill Juhe Yicun. Seventh Lieutenant Shimoemon, Shigetaka Kuki, the seventh captain of Shimozubei because of the unification of the naval forces, Watanabe Takatsuna, seven captains of the lower right soldier, Kato Kyoaki, seven senior captains of the left second lieutenant.

As a famous family, Hidetaka Nakajo's starting point is naturally higher than theirs. With the leadership of Fukakusa Hezhan and the outstanding performance of Nakaoyama Hezhan, he successfully inherited the Nakajo family's position, and was granted the title of five subordinates. It has been nearly a hundred years since the Nakajo family has been awarded the official post of Izuba by the imperial court. This time, it is also a consummation of merit and virtue.

In addition, Takashima Seven Heads also won some small official positions, which is better than nothing. For example, Mizusuke, the eighth official of the Yamazaki family who defended the last round, all meritorious persons will get a reward, which can be regarded as the imperial court. A tribute to Yoshito Kira for restoring the shogunate and protecting Kyoto.

Afterwards, Kira Yoshitoshi also donated [-] kanmons to the imperial court in a sense of current affairs. For this donation, Hirohashi Kunimitsu went to Sakamoto Castle to express his gratitude. The ministers are very poor, but their integrity has always been good.

The imperial court's rewards have been given out, and the shogunate's rewards have also come. Ashikaga Yoshito, in order to thank him for taking back the imperial storehouse of the Yamashiro Kingdom, gave him a lot of shogunate posts, and paid the leaders to the head of the public. Well, the Sakamoto Imperial Palace police solidarity, also made a special guard of Kita Omi, directly dismantled Omi Ikuni and gave him a guard, and was also allowed to use the three privileges of "chrysanthemum pattern, felt saddle cover, and white umbrella bag".

Giving only this is also a helpless move. Kira Yoshishi already had the privilege of using the red handle umbrella and Tuyu by the famous nobles, and he has the privilege of Wuqitong pattern. Only the felt saddle cover and the white umbrella bag can be used as guardians. The Kira family had never owned one before, and he became the real lord of the country by acquiring these two privileges this time.

The other chrysanthemum pattern is the same as the Wuqitong pattern, which is also a privilege bestowed by the emperor, but there are not many samurai who have the chrysanthemum pattern at the same time. Anyone who has obtained two imperial patterns at the same time is all famous samurai. It also shows how much Ashikaga Yoshito attaches importance to him.

In the final analysis, these are just things for face, but the next one is different. It is allowed to use the name of the Ashikaga family in formal places, and it will officially appear in the official activities of the shogunate from today. The court called the above-mentioned Ashikaga family the Kira family, which means that he directly carried his family from the royal family to the public Lianzhizhong of the Ashikaga family.

This is since the last time I mentioned this, when it was officially issued to Kira Yoshito in the form of a royal teacher, it was equivalent to publicly telling the world that he was a member of my Ashikaga family at that time, and it was also an explanation of Ashikaga Yoshito How good he is, he is the only person in the same clan who can save the shogunate, the famous general of the Muromachi shogunate.

Along with the imperial teaching book, Ashikaga Yoshito sent a pair of horse seals and a pair of large flags. On the horse seals, the eight characters "Ashikaga Kamisaburo Yoshitoki" were written in handwriting. It seems that the handwriting should be the ink of Ashikaga Yoshito, Ashikaga Yi Teng is not only interested in the art of war and swordsmanship, but also has a high attainment in Sinology. When he is free, he likes to write Tang poems and chant Japanese songs.

Speaking of which, the traditional Chinese characters written by Ashikaga Yoshito are better than those written by himself. The lower case is lively and lively, and the upper case is strong and straight. Obviously, they were taught by a famous teacher. Compared with them, the handwriting of Yoshinori Yoshitoshi can only be considered okay. Not to mention a self-contained master, even Ashikaga Yoshito's calligraphy level is still some distance away.

Then the other big banner is the Ashikaga Nihiri Ryomon, which is exactly the same as the Ashikaga clan, which is different from the Ashikaga Nihiri used by the Kira family. Although the branch family and the main family use the same family crest, the branch family will still Use the collocation of different colors, the thickness of the lines and various variations to express the difference between yourself and the clan.

This time he directly took out the black and white Ashikaga Nibiri, two black horizontal bars in a black circle on the white background flag, forming the royal family crest of the Ashikaga family, such a high-standard gift is completely beyond his expectations expected.

The family flag was not quite what he expected, but the six characters "Shangso Saburo Yoshitoki" were written on the big flag, which meant that he was going to be roasted on the fire. Once the news spread It is sure to cause an uproar.

The envoy of the shogunate did not specifically explain, but when he saw these two things, he almost scared Yoshitoki Kira to death, and cursed in his heart, "Damn it", taking out this thing at this time will only harm him, maybe Ashikaga Yoshitoki is Out of good intentions, but he still wanted to say: "It's really not a worry-free guy."

Tokiko Yamamoto came, raised his eyebrows when he saw the horse seal picture, admired Kira Yoshitoshi's new horse seal, turned around with his mouth curled up, and then said in a serious manner: "This handwritten handwriting Vigorous and powerful, it comes from the hands of a famous master."
