Pillars of the Wu family

In the busy 20 years of Tianwen, the new year is approaching, and it is another year of the Zhengdan court meeting. But this time is different, the shogunate has won successive victories and completely regained the lost Yamashiro country, and it is the first time since the Mingyu coup that the shogunate really took control of the Yamashiro country. Power, all the imperial court and the shogunate in the entire mountain city were brought back. What's more, it just happened to catch up with the autumn harvest, and a large amount of money and grain entered the account, which made the court and the shogunate very satisfied.

Since the decline of the shogunate during the Onin Rebellion, the life of the court has become more and more difficult. After the coup of Ming Dynasty, the reputation of the shogunate was lost, and the court also lived in poverty for decades. There are many jokes about the emperor selling paintings and ministers selling vegetables in Kyoto. In [-], until now, Kujo Tetsutsu still lived as an ascetic in Settsu because of bankruptcy. Yoshishi Kira regained the lost imperial material for the court and the shogunate.

This year's Dachao was held very grandly. Not only the daimyos in Kinai sent donations one after another, but also remote samurai families in remote countries such as Kyushu Shimadzu and Mutsu southern part also sent gifts. Usually, these daimyos always interrupted every now and then. In [-], it was hard to speak against the shogunate if the daimyos didn't come to court to offer gifts, and it was useless to say anything without the right to speak.

Kira Yoshitoshi was very particular about his attire when he was the top five. At this time, he was wearing a formal court attire, and the crimson robes of the five were extremely bright. Tokiyuki Yamamoto went as an important escort of the family. Also attending the court meeting was Nakajo Tokihide. As one of the most powerful Fenggong members of the shogunate, he has been appointed as a judge, which is also the Nakajo family's job.

In the past few months, Nakajo Tokihide has also been active in Kyoto with Yoshitoki Kira, but his character is different. He participated in the administration of the shogunate in the shogunate, and replaced the Kira family as a communication between the shogunate and Sakamoto. It didn't take long for Ashikaga Yoshito to be summoned alone, and it was obvious that Ashikaga Yoshito had a plan to poach someone, but Nakajo Tokihide was unmoved by the public's hints and solicitations, which made Ashikaga Yoshito very annoyed.

At the beginning of the new year, the imperial court and the shogunate jointly issued an edict prohibiting burials in temples and other matters. It is reasonable to prohibit burials in Japan due to the scarcity of land. Ashikaga Yoshito is taking this opportunity to announce the return of the shogunate, and to open the The active era of the shogunate government.

At the same time, another force not belonging to Japan entered Kyoto for the first time. Francisco de Xavier, a Portuguese Jesuit missionary, was officially translated as Saint Francis Xavier in the Ming Dynasty. Kyushu came to Kyoto in order to seek missionary permission from the imperial court and the shogunate.

Xavier arrived in Sakaicho at the beginning of December, lived in Sakaicho for more than half a month under the warm hospitality of Sakaicho merchants Hibiya Rakuen and Konishi Takashi, and then rushed to Kyoto before the coming of the first month. He was active in Kyoto, and his activities really played a role. Under the money of the merchants in Sakai Town, Xavier visited the emperor and the general successively.

It happened that Kira Yoshitoshi happened to come to meet Ashikaga Yoshito during his time. As a historical celebrity, meeting ancient sages was also quite refreshing. Of course, he didn't intend to provoke this religion that was more troublesome than Ichizo, so he could only sit back and watch this preacher The doctor left disappointed.

The missionary right requested by Xavier was not allowed by the imperial court and the shogunate. The national missionary permission and the establishment of parishes of the Nanman religion are simply nonsense in this transition known as the kingdom of God. Some Nanman temples were built. At first, many farmers thought it was a new sect of Buddhism and accepted baptism.

Later, some people gradually discovered that the Nanban Temple was not the same thing at all. They denounced the gods and Buddhas as false gods and heretics, which immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the farmers. Later, I found that the teachings of the Nanban missionaries were very different from the Japanese religion, so I stopped asking.

In the Middle Ages, Japan was a traditional Buddhist country. It also accepted the ideas of Taoism and Confucianism. It belonged to a typical oriental cultural society. Nanbanism was destined to be suppressed and excluded here. Missionaries will be unlucky, if they really get in touch with them, maybe they will get some not-so-good honors, but Portuguese businessmen still want to get in touch.

"I heard that the Portuguese gave Otomo's family a cannon. It is said that this cannon is so powerful that it was named 'National Beng' by Otomogi Town. It would be great if the Portuguese could also give him one." Kirayoshi thought to himself. Otomo's family's wealth, as far as he knows, the Portuguese's artillery is mediocre, and the rising Spain is a more powerful country.

Since the introduction of iron cannons to Kyushu in the 12th year of Tianwen, Portuguese businessmen have come and gone to Kyushu more and more frequently. In recent years, they have begun to settle down in Hirado and Nagasaki, and built Nanban temples and hospitals, which are not part of Japan. The power is driving this era forward.

"The Nanban merchants in Kyushu and the red deer in Owari seem to have a deep connection. The legend of the seven seas must also come from there!" For some reason, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis, as if the train of the times was running at high speed. Moving forward, can he adapt to this new era?

Ashikaga Yoshito was very active at the Zhengdan court meeting, and all the officials of the shogunate can understand the smugness of the shogunate. Although there is still some distance from the expulsion of Sanzhu that he made, he has already taken the first substantial step. This step is also an important step for the shogunate to restore its authority.

Ashikaga Yoshito's childhood was gray. Not long after he was born, he caught up with his father Ashikaga Yoshiharu and Hosokawa Harumoto. He followed his father to hide in Sakamoto and Kuchiki lived a wandering life when he was young. Count him The number of escapes is really a history of blood and tears.

In the 11th year of Astronomy, he ran against Hosokawa Harumoto and fled to Sakamoto. In the 12th year of Astronomy, the two sides returned to Kyoto in harmony. In the 15th year of Astronomy, he fled to Sakamoto due to the turmoil in Gyeonggi. He was able to return to Kyoto because of the suppression of Kizawa Nagamasa. He Zhan fled to Sakamoto again, accepted his father's transfer to serve as the general who conquered the barbarians, and followed his father back to Cizhao Temple.

Tianwen was at odds with Harumoto Hosokawa again in 16 years, fled to Sakamoto for a few weeks and then reconciled with Harumoto Hosokawa, returned to Kyoto again, and finally became harmonious with Harumoto Hosokawa, Tianwen 18 Nian Sanhao Changqing has risen again. He fought a battle at Jiangkou and scared the general to Sakamoto. How can the world treat such a cowardly general who can run?

Ashikaga Yoshito could not tolerate the decline of the shogunate, and it was for this reason that he wanted to recapture Kyoto. After a series of escapes and repeated escapes, Ashikaga Yoshito returned to Kyoto and never allowed himself to escape back to Sakamoto. For someone who is more important than life, in his opinion, a general who has no face is better off alive than dead.

Living in Kyoto is indeed a thousand times better than Sakamoto in Omi’s countryside. The goodness does not lie in material improvement, but in spiritual satisfaction. Living a chic life without white people every day finally made him realize that Ashikaga at Luyuanyuan Some impressions of Yoshimitsu, the magnificent Kinkakuji Temple in Beishan is the portrayal of that glorious era.

When the name of the Ashikaga family was announced at the Zhengdan court meeting, the eyes of all kinds of samurai who came to the shogunate to donate money to see him changed. Kira Yoshishi treated him even more differently, he looked at Kira Yoshishi with a creepy feeling, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Yoshiki Kira became famous during his time, and his outstanding performance in the Kinki battle last year immediately swept across Japan like a [-]th gale. It records the prestige of Yoshitoshi Kira, and Yoshiki Kira became the hottest topic this year, and Yoshiki Kira was completely popular, and countless people came to visit him just to see the appearance of this legendary general .

In addition to the normal contacts with the court ministers and the famous families of the shogunate, some wandering warriors who were depressed and frustrated also came to the door one after another. It is a pity that these wanderers were either not clean, or they had conflicts with the main family and were exiled. It's just that morality is not good, this kind of person Ji Liangyi would not touch it casually.

It took more than ten days for the lively Zhengdan Dynasty to end. Yoshishi Kira only stayed in Kyoto for five days. In addition to donating [-] kan and [-] kan respectively to the shogunate and the court as usual, he also gave his relatives the middle court It is also worth mentioning that Yoshitoki Kira sent a gift to Katsuhime Ashikaga. In addition to the costumes and accessories worn by girls, daily necessities such as rouge and gouache, various snacks and special products, etc. The cost was equivalent to five hundred kan, and even Konoe Haruji ran over to thank him for being rich and powerful.

"I, Qing's heir, thank Yishi for his great love on behalf of Ah Sheng. I really feel sorry for letting Yishi spend so much money!"

"His Highness Haruji is too modest! These are just some things I, Yoshitoki, can do for Shenghime as an elder brother." On the surface, Yoshitoki Kira still talked with Konoe Qingji in a friendly voice, but in fact he was scolding in his heart. Opened: "I'm going to see my sister, what are you doing here to join in the fun, and you even bring Sheng Ji to thank me, I'll wipe it!"
