Pillars of the Wu family

Chapter 524 The General’s Ambition Reduction

In the casual glance just now, he had already seen through Konoe's previous calculations. This righteous brother quietly stood by Kira Yoshitoki's side, indicating that the political situation around him seemed to be developing in an unknown direction. But Ashikaga Yoshiki can't underestimate Konoe Maeku, because this righteous brother is an important reliance for him to firmly grasp the court context, and as a political ally, he needs the compatibility of ideas rather than confrontation.

Kirayoshi wants to replace him as the Kanto government, and it has almost become known to everyone. Even if the news from Kyoto is a few months behind, they still know the same at this moment. The sporadic information sent from Kanto can be judged as the Kira family The battle was very fierce, especially the war concerning the ownership of Kanto, which usually lasted for several years to more than ten years before the winner could be determined.

如享德之『乱』从享德三年(1455年)爆发直至文明14年(1483年)前后历时整整18年,间歇四年之后爆发的长享之『乱』从长享元年(1487年)爆发直到永正二年(1505年)结束又经历18年,左一个18年右一个18年,这就是整整两代武士的青春华年浪费站休止的战斗中,频繁的大『乱』也耗尽关东武士最后一丝忠诚和耐心。

However, the birth of Kira Yoshitoshi made everything different. This miraculous man seems to have a unique charm. He can always handle messy things in an orderly manner, and he can always use poor things The land is fertile and fertile, and he has brought inexplicable confidence to many people after victory after victory, as if he is saying to the world with his actions: "Look! I went to the Ashikaga family and succeeded again!"

Konoe also knew a long time ago that it is very difficult to completely trust Ashikaga Yoshiki, but there are some things that he has to do even if he knows it is difficult. Ashikaga Yoshiki could not give him the future of pacifying the world, but Kira Yoshitoki could give it and it is being implemented. This is an important reason why Konoe chose to support Kira Yoshitoki a long time ago.

Ashikaga Yoshiki's indifference did not break his confidence, Konoe Maeku still persevered in explaining: "This is the best opportunity for the shogunate at present, seizing this opportunity will only be beneficial to the shogunate and not harmful. As for whether Yishi will pose a threat to the general's family, there should be no problem! Yihui's influence on him should not worry about more changes."

"It's a pity that Yu's son-in-law is still dead... The death is so bizarre, who is behind the scenes?" Ashikaga Yoshiki raised his brows and looked at Konoe Maeku suspiciously, wanting to learn from this righteous brother. Even a trace of guilt and panic could be seen in his eyes, but all these efforts ended in failure, and Konoe showed a guilty conscience from the beginning to the end.

Konoe could feel Ashikaga Yoshiki's suspicion and suspicion a long time ago, and he also clearly knew that what this dear brother Yoshiki suspected was either someone else, or his other brother Yoshiki Kira was playing tricks in it.This suspicion may have been deeply buried in Yoshiki Ashikaga's mind long ago. Who told Yoshiki Yoshiki to add a word to the descendants of Yoshiki Ashikaga?

Knowing that Ashikaga Yoshiki was suspicious of his other younger brother, Konoe had no way to defend Yoshiki Kira for committing crimes, so he could only talk about it and said: "I believe Yoshiki can guess that Miyoshi's family is here." Make trouble! Miyoshi Changqing and the minions of Miyoshi's family are all over Kinai and are arrogant. [

In addition, its subordinate navy also has many servants around the Seto Inland Sea on Shikoku Island. The origin of Izumo A country is unknown, but he can get on the line of Nijo Imperial Palace by virtue of his pursuit of buying daily necessities.Thinking about it, he was planning to attack Yihui, and this time would be three years ahead, and three years ago, only the dormant Miyoshi family had the most strength to do it! "

"It seems that there is only such a reasonable possibility, but Mr. Yu feels that something is wrong. Could it be that Yu is really making a fuss?" Ashikaga Yoshiki still looked uneasy, and it was not the same as when he was still thinking about Kira Yoshi. The suspicion was questioned, and the Kira family fought continuously in the past few years.Either running to Deba or running to Hokuriku to expand and busy.

It is probably unreliable to convince him that Kira Yoshishi hid so deeply and was full of bad intentions to attack his wife Kenko Konoe, because if he wants to attack, he definitely does not target his disciples. An accident caused him, the general, to "accidentally die" before giving birth to his son. He believed that the Kira family must have a similar method to deal with him. It was a coincidence that he found an Izumo Akuni of unknown origin to dance a dance and sneak into the Nijo Imperial Palace. too high.

The implementation of the plan in three years is even more procrastinating. Looking at it from this point of view, you will feel that this is indeed not what Kira Yoshitomo ordered.Instead of blindly attacking his wife Hyunko Konoe, this is also the most unlikely thing to happen.

The relationship between Kira Yoshitoki and Konoe Maeku is very good. He himself is also a special samurai who respects women very much. It has never been heard that he has done cruel and vicious behavior to any woman. Konoe Ken Zizi and Ji Liangyi had known each other as early as when he was wearing a black hat ceremony in Yuanfu. Both of them were related by some kinship, and they were also aristocrats in a camp that supported the shogunate, so they got along very well.

On behalf of her husband and brother-in-law, Kenko Konoe would occasionally greet her briefly when they ran into each other in the imperial palace.In this era, this is considered a model of getting along well. Compared with Ashikaga Yoshiki who is merciless when he throws things and gets angry when he gets angry, Konoe Kenko has a variety of female advantages such as beauty, gentleness and kindness. A strange woman full of intellectual beauty, I have never heard of anyone who would be full of resentment towards her.At least Kirayoshi was not such a person.

And more importantly, Kenko Konoe and Konoe's Judah Nagao Tohime are righteous sisters, and Tora was the wife of Kira Yoshishi. Konoe Zehime, the in-law, is the direct sister of Konoe and Kenko Konoe, and until now Kirayoshi still sends some books, woolen coats, felt hats, gloves, and thick-soled felt boots as gifts every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival of the first lunar month.

Kira Yoshishi was very careful not to use animal skin products to destroy Zun Shanxiu's "Sexual Refuge and Five Precepts", so every time he gave a fleece "wool" fabric as a gift, and each gift was measured according to the tailor in Kyoto. Made in the standard size, she absolutely does not leave a chance for her to give away at will, and dozens of sets are given away every time.

As time goes by, the noble women who come and go to the Illuminati Academy gradually know that this young owner is the former "qngren" of the very popular Kirayoshi, and gradually more and more people get close, although it will break Zun Shanxiu's "nature" 』Purity and ease of practice.But it also made her gradually understand that the cute little boy in the past has gradually become a famous general who shocked the world.

Tiger Hime also likes to send some small gifts from Kyoto very much. For example, many gifts are sent from Echigo on time every year according to the festival customs of Kyoto, as small as some small spinning tools invented by Kira Yoshiki. Small toys, hand-sewn There are various high-end products such as baby clothes and clothes made of gold, silver, jewelry, silk and tea as gifts.

Through this uninterrupted gift-giving method, the Kira Yoshitoki couple gradually formed a consensus in the aristocratic circle in Kyoto that Kira Yoshitoki was very easy to get along with.He treats people with sincerity and enthusiasm and never cares about personal gains and losses. This can be interpreted as a fool who has been taken advantage of, or it can be interpreted as being generous and donating money. In short, the imperial court has always had a very positive attitude towards Yoshitomo Kira.

In the past few years, Ashikaga Yoshiki has often heard the term "madam diplomacy" from Konoe Kenko. He was a little curious and wanted to insinuate, but was fooled by the vigilant wife.In desperation, Ashikaga Yoshiki also acted like Liang Shangjunzi, but what he stole was not the money and books but the letterhead between his wife and Hu Ji.

After seeing the letters exchanged between these women, he realized that his brain capacity was a bit insufficient. This writing method is even more unorthodox than the use of pseudonyms. It is basically composed of some pseudonyms and various inverted piles superimposed into strange word order writing. The private letter is somewhat similar to the old way of keeping secrets on letterheads. After pondering for a long time, he can barely understand the general part. It seems to be about strange questions such as what to eat to not gain weight, how to make up and what clothes to wear.

"In this way, the "possibility" of coming to Yishi is actually the smallest. Then only Miyoshi Changqing and his minions have the ability and patience to prepare for an unsuccessful murder! From this point of view, it is indeed not Yishi , but the possibility of him exerting influence cannot be ruled out." Ashikaga Yoshiki was still talking hard, but in fact, he secretly crossed Yoshitoki Yoshitoki off the list of suspects in his heart.

When Ashikaga Yoshiki became a general, he hated the Miyoshi family extremely. As the Kyoto shogunate gradually gained a foothold and gradually regained some governance power, he was praised by the raging public opinion in the world as the master of the shogunate ZTE, which made him long for Miyoshi. Qing's hostility has also been reduced from a deadly enmity to a hateful level, but after the misjudgment of the Luozhong joint battle and the premature death of his son, it seems that he is going to hate Miyoshi Changqing again. [

As a great general who conquered barbarians who aimed to revitalize the shogunate.The number one enemy he has to face is still the Miyoshi family, the overlord of Kinai, but because his short-sighted behavior completely angered the Kira family and the Rokkaku family who fought for him in the Luozhonghe War, the willingness of these two families to continue to defend Kyoto is very low. But as the shogun, Ashikaga Yoshiki couldn't bow his head and admit his mistakes to the two retainers, even if he knew he made a mistake, he would still bear it for his own face.

This is to save face and suffer. The general's dignity does not allow him to do degrading behavior. The general cannot be at fault, so the one who is at fault must be the subordinates.Either the subject was at fault or the subject misunderstood the general's intentions. In short, he didn't realize it when the Luozhong joint battle was over.

Ashikaga Yoshiki is not stupid if he doesn't kill, let alone a stupid general.He is not only proficient in swordsmanship but also very familiar with diplomatic strategy. Military strategy is almost zero due to the lack of excellent teachers when he was growing up.

Ashikaga Yoshiharu himself is not considered a successful general, and the overall level of military strategy, intelligence, and political strategy is not very high. The only impression left to the world is that Jiangzhou Daiki and Sakai Daiki compete for the general throne, and Ashikaga Yoshiharu is best at Sprint talent is the only magic weapon to survive the turmoil in Kyoto.

With such a not-so-successful father as a base, one can imagine how much Ashikaga Yoshiki can learn. As for the long-term construction of Nakao Castle, it is not very useful in the military sense. When the shogunate loses Kyoto It is too meaningful to defend Nakao Castle when retreating, so from this point, it can be seen that Ashikaga Yoshiharu's military strategy is still very watery.

The only thing that can be said to be right is to adopt Ashikaga Katsuhime as the adopted daughter of the Ashikaga family to marry Konoe Kueku, and then the three of them established an iron triangle of righteous brothers through complicated relationships, and each other's wives have They have a close relationship, and each other appreciates their talents very much. This is something Ashikaga Yoshiki used to be proud of.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that Kira Yoshitoshi's positive influence on him is far greater than the negative influence. Anyway, he is also a younger brother of the same family who knows how old he was and grew up.I single-handedly promoted him to the name of the Ashikaga family, which makes Yoshitoki Kira naturally bear a layer of Ashikaga Yoshiki's imprint, and wherever he goes, people will think of how he promoted him to become a Lianzhizhong .

Thinking about this reason can also explain the attitude of Jinwei, even if he is ambitious now, so what, as Jinwei said just now, even if he is given the Guandong Gongfang, he can't do anything, at most It's all so-called the upside-down chaos in the Kanto Playhouse.Those people in the Kanto Kingdom have experienced hundreds of years of chaos and become very unscrupulous and barbaric. In the eyes of Ashikaga Yoshiki, this is a group of hateful "villains". he.

He can be sure that Kira Yoshitoki will never have any unreasonable thoughts about the shogunate. At least as long as Ashikaga Yoshiki is still alive, he will never have to worry about the possibility of being usurped by Lianzhizhong. As for his descendants in the end Whether it has this ability to hold the Guandong Gongfang.Whether it will evolve into a "Ming Dynasty Coup" or cause an "Eternal Rebellion" depends on their fortune.

Ashikaga Yoshiki paused for a moment and said: "It's not impossible for the Guandong government to consider it, but there must be a major premise before it can be given to him. I want him to stay in the Kanto honestly and not leave without authorization. The war in Kaga country will stop." The Echizen country cannot be invaded in the same place. Hida Kunyu will give him Hida to protect the Hida Mountains with peace of mind. Tokaido is divided into Izu country and Suruga country, and the east belongs to the Kirayoshi era. The west is the shogunate Straight leaders cannot attack each other."

"So, has Yoshiki already figured it out?" Konoe said happily a long time ago, "That's good! I will persuade Yoshitoki to make more contributions to the shogunate..."

Ashikaga Yoshiki waved his hand and said, "Give it to him! But what Yu wants to emphasize is that the oath must be strictly abided by. Without Yu's order, you must never step out of this boundary!"

……

When Kirayoshi returned to Edo Castle and did not rest for a few days, he accompanied several wives to visit Edo Castle, which was about to be moved, and saw that there were piles of building materials everywhere on this barren wasteland, and nearly [-] civilians With a bowl on the head and a wooden hammer in his hand, he slammed the wooden piles non-stop, and the huge stone rollers rolled back and forth on this wasteland to level the land repeatedly.

On both sides of this wasteland is a torrential river, and in the distance to the south is a blue sea.Several ladies lifted up the veils on the bonnets to look carefully for a while, then put down the veils and chatted together in a low voice. They don't like this noisy and messy construction site. If it weren't for the husband's strong request to come and take a look around won't be here.

Tiger Princess pouted and complained: "Your Highness! Is this the Edo Castle you mentioned? It looks like a mess everywhere. It seems that it is not as good as Naoetsu Town at all. Echigo is more comfortable."

Sandalwood's hot body came close, and she said softly: "Sister is right, I have only been here for a few months. There are many small rashes on my arms, so uncomfortable!"

The other wives also expressed discomfort. A Quan began to worry about his baby daughter Yukihime who was only a few months old, and Yoshino also began to think about his baby son Yoshichiyo.Seeing that the whole family was going to be anticlimactic when they came out, Kira Yoshishi shrugged and said, "Then let's go back now! Anyway, there is really nothing to see right now."

Although the castle town of Edo was not built, the Edo Imperial Palace was demolished and rebuilt early. However, compared with the Kasuga Imperial Palace, the Edo Imperial Palace is still relatively simple, and there are less than [-] tiled houses for maids and maids. A large open space is left for development near the imperial palace. This is the new imperial palace that Kira Yoshishishi plans to start construction in the near future.

However, the main structure of Edo Castle, including the magnificent seven-story castle tower and the four five-story tower blueprints, has not yet been implemented. None of these goals can be achieved in two or three years. Kirayoshi did not build Ando in three years. Cheng's ambitions and plans, after all, he is not a man of the world and he does not want to be a man of the world.

A few days later, part of the buildings in Edo Castle were completed and put into use, and one of the largest halls served as a temporary Ohiroma. Kira Yoshishiki held the first major appraisal in Edo Castle. All kinds of reports are made on the relocation of the city, and all aspects such as labor, materials, storage and management must be explained one by one.

Yoshishi Kira never tires of asking the followers. When he finds a statement that feels wrong, he will go to the bottom of it until he finds out which link is wrong. If there is a gap in the system, he will quickly propose new remedial measures to improve the system. If there is a problem with the executor, the relevant responsibilities of the executor should be investigated. Whether to write an application to summarize the mistakes, or to suspend the post for self-reflection, or to resign and return to the countryside to work in agriculture or even more severe punishment is a matter of judgment for the general public. He does not need to "intervene" in the specifics link.

This is the process of gradually forming a complete set of administrative institutions. A sound system and self-correction capabilities can reduce many unnecessary troubles in the management of Kira Yoshitoki. There is probably nothing more satisfying than being a hands-off shopkeeper.
