Pillars of the Wu family

The officials of the Edo Imperial Palace and the Changyu Imperial Palace sat upright in the large hall. There were no less than five hundred good warriors in the three camps of east, west and south. You can see the family governors of the Sagami Hojo clan, Higashizu Satake clan, Oshu Ashina clan, and Dewa Mogami clan. The heyday of their formation attracts the attention of all the heroes in the world.

As usual, the entire morning was spent discussing the handling of daily government affairs, and after noon, it was turned into political discussions. The chief judge of the imperial court, Hosokawa Fujitaka, said: "According to the latest information, the Takeda family should fight a big battle in the Mihe country in the near future. , This is the first large-scale action against the Three Rivers since the seven years of Yonglu, and it may cause greater turmoil in the East China Sea."

Sanada Yutaka chuckled: "Takeda Ozen's recent actions are indeed not small. Since March last year, the adjustments to Mikawa Junior High School have become more frequent. Suzuki, Tominaga, Shitara, Suganuma, Opping, and Higashi Mikawa have surrendered one after another. Central China's Matsudaira Under the control of the Takeda family, Masahisa Matsudaira and Tadaka Sakai switched to the camp, and the Oda family’s dominance over the Mikawa Kingdom gradually weakened. It seems that Takeda Daizen is determined to unify the Mikawa Kingdom and establish an opportunity for the rejuvenation of the Kai Takeda Clan.”

When it comes to familiarity with Takeda Shingen, there is probably no samurai present who is more authoritative than Sanada Yutaka. The aura of Shinano's number one wise general is by no means a reputation that comes from bragging. He has made enough achievements in serving as a general under the Takeda family for more than ten years Awakening the eyes of many people, since he joined the Kanto Ashikaga family, he has traveled across Kanto Oshu, and his reputation is only under Uesugi Kenshin and Yamamoto Tokiyuki, and gradually has the capital to compete with Hojo Ujiyasu and Takeda Shingen.

"For some reason, I found it very interesting to hear that Takeda Taizen had adjusted Mikawa, and the Mikawa samurai here must understand this feeling!" Beibata Shoubo squinted his eyes as if he was thinking about something interesting.Time flies, the handsome boy of the past has transformed into a handsome man over thirty years old.Gu Pan's confident and unrestrained temperament is deeply memorable.There are often Xiao surnames who are full of admiration and cast infatuated eyes.

Since the death of Kita Kokyo and Kita Kobo, the Ise Kitabata family has only one widow whose whereabouts are unknown. Ashikaga Yoshitoki took the opportunity to apply to the imperial court for the current head of the Namioka Kitabata family, Kitabata Shoubo, to inherit the title of the head of the Kitabata family. At this moment, he, the three councilors and Lieutenant General of the Right Guard, has become a well-deserved governor of a dignified family of ministers and ministers.

For a while, Ben was pissed off by a few poor relatives in Sanhe's hometown, and he groaned coldly: "Everyone in my Ben's family is obsessed with ancient times, and they are all devoted to being loyal to Tokugawa Ieyasu, who settled down in that shabby household, and don't care how much that stupid man has done all these years." Rebellious things, so ignorant of the general situation, advance and retreat, and loyalty. It is simply stupid and hopeless!"

Matsudaira Ieyasu still stubbornly changed his name to Tokugawa Ieyasu, so it was not the Seratian clan of the Shintian clan branch of the Hanoi Genji Yoshikuni branch, but the Tokugawa clan of an unknown branch of the Fujiwara Kita family. Even if he is fake, no one can say what he is.

Before the Muromachi shogunate is finished, it is very dangerous to pretend to be a tributary of the Hanoi Genji Nitta clan. The Nitta clan has the Nitta Party in Echigo, Ueno has Yura Chengshige of the Shimogami Iwamatsu clan, Xiguo has the Yamana clan, Kanto Yu Both the Okuyu Satomi family and the Kinai U Odate family have serious genealogy and detailed information records, and he, a counterfeit, is not allowed to force an unfounded ancestor.

In the eyes of Honda Toki, the Honda Clan is completely hopeless, Honda Heihachiro Tadakatsu, Honda Hikozaburo Hiroko, Honda Sakuzaemon Shigeji, Honda Hikohachiro Tadashi, and Heihachiro's uncle Honda Higo Shou Zhongzheng, plus a group of dozens of juniors from the Honda family are all loyal loyal ministers of Tokugawa Ieyasu.

And it's mindless loyalty.Just recognize Tokugawa Ieyasu and the name of the Matsudaira Tokugawa family, and the others don't care about whether he is Genji Hanoi or the laws of the shogunate.It doesn't matter even if the shogunate orders a subjugation order, such stupidity and loyalty are admired by those who see it, but Honda is not very happy.

This is not only the case in the Honda family, but Shile Sadatsu, Suzuki Shigeji and others also showed helpless expressions. Since they left Mikawa Kingdom, they have separated from each other, and their influence on the clan has gradually diminished over time. In the past ten years or so, the wind and water in the Kanto have flourished, and they may have been forgotten by the clan long ago in a corner.

Saito Chaonobu picked his ears, and suddenly laughed loudly: "Are I still worried that the people of Mikawa and the rest of the country are ignorant of current affairs? Probably a piece of imperial edict can make Oda Kami Sosuke and Takeda Daizen waste their efforts. Those bastards."

Hosokawa Fujitaka disagreed with him: "The key is that we can't leave Kanto. What should we do? His Highness Gongfang's imperial teacher is not fake. It's just that ordinary samurai do not abide by the law. The Lord is now the Kanto Gongfang order Bando ten Tens of thousands of soldiers are so powerful that everyone looks at them with every word and deed, and at this time, we must not spoil the prestige accumulated over the past ten years for a small profit!"

Ashikaga Jinomaru, who was present at the meeting, listened curiously to the conversation of the elders of the Fushiro family. His uncle Uesugi Kenshin always held a rosary and practiced Zen without saying a word. Tianhai smiled and said nothing, and the uncommon assistant Michiki Yamamoto was even exempted from attending the meeting.

It is said that he travels to the famous mountains and rivers every day to teach his adopted son Heitaro Yamamoto. Heitaro occasionally comes to the imperial palace to accompany him to learn knowledge. After being adopted to the Yamamoto family to inherit the family, the Yamamoto family will change from the Qinghe Genji Manzhengliu Yoshino clan to the Bando Hachihei Miura party-Numata clan. Fortunately, the family lines of the two families are also very similar, and the Yamamoto family is the third from the left. Bawen and Numata's family are right sambawen, which is convenient to change.

Ashikaga Zhenwangmaru didn't quite understand the meaning of the debate, and said in a clear and murderous voice: "Uncle said that the Mikawa country is the hometown of the Ashikaga family's rise. My Ashikaga family has lived in Mikawa country for generations since Kamakura. Why should a group of outsiders Do you dare to disobey the orders of the people of Mihe Township? Do you dare to test the sharpness of my Genji Taisao?"

The important official Pudai was stunned by the young master's words, but when he heard Ashikaga Yoshihide, he drew out his folding fan and tapped on the tatami, and said with a big laugh, "How dare you test the sharpness of my Genji Tachi, this is my unicorn!"

The officials leaned over and showed surprise, but Uesugi Kenshin praised him wittily: "The Shaoden's bravery and courage are quite similar to Genpei's samurai bravery. This is the blessing of my Kanto shogunate!"

Ashikaga Yoshitoki stroked Ashikaga Jinomaru's small head.Said lovingly: "Braveness is the virtue of a warrior. But you must remember that the way to govern the world is to be gentle. Those who are too rigid are easy to break, and those who are kind and soft are invincible. The best kindness is like water. Water is good and beneficial to all things without fighting. The virtue of modesty! The weakest thing in the world is water, but it is as weak as water, but it can drip through rocks. From this we can see that the virtue of water is the closest to the way of governing the world.

The high virtue of water is that it is weak and uncontested, but it can affect the flow of the road. Those in power should not care about temporary gains and losses. It flows quietly to all directions to nourish all things and cleanse the filth. When it is quiet, it is like an ancient well in Pinghu, ten miles away, without waves and unfathomable.This is the way of kings.

Ashikaga Zhenwangmaru nodded ignorantly, and gradually recalled the earnest teachings of the teachers from his father's teachings.Each of the samurai who gathers the essence of millions of people in the Eastern Kingdom has extraordinary wisdom, and in such a good educational environment, they subtly influence the values ​​​​of young children.

He educated his son-in-law a few words, and said: "The Takeda family wants to seize the land of three rivers and one country. It's not a problem. If Takeda Dashan wants to fight, let him take it down. It's better to teach the Oda family a lesson so that my in-law and ally Oda Kami Sosuke knows how to disobey. This family will not end well, thinking that the Three Rivers Kingdom is so easy to take, let him know that taking the Three Rivers Kingdom should be careful of indigestion."

The once-a-month evaluation lasted until the evening and ended in a hurry. Ashikaga Jinwangmaru left early in the afternoon when there was still a course in the afternoon. Only a few dozen important ministers remained until the evening. After dinner in the hall, a secret meeting was held in the quiet room of the Chang Yusuo. This kind of closed-door meeting discussed some important matters that should not be widely announced, and it was inevitable to make a summary after the big evaluation meeting.

Hosokawa Fujitaka was worried, and lamented: "Your Highness, the public, the chaos in Kyoto has caused the people to be uneasy and commercially turbulent. The multi-money houses in Kyoto, Sakamoto, and Sakaimachi have run on gold certificates. This situation seems to be a mountain rain. It is still unknown whether the upcoming turmoil will cause greater turmoil in the three places."

"What the Palace of the Ministry of War said is true. Whether Miyoshi's family is in conflict or not is still unknown, but the intention to support a new general is becoming more and more obvious. If the situation continues, no matter what the general's decision is, it will inevitably lead to a catastrophe. ..." Ben had a smile on his face for a long time, his expression was treacherous, and his eyes were shining brightly, as if some shady scheme was brewing.

Beibata's house rested its chin on one hand and pondered for a moment: "It is said that as early as the turmoil in Kyoto, Miyoshi's family had the intention to abolish the general. If it wasn't for Miyoshi's conscience and reason remaining in Changqing's anger, His Royal Highness the General of the Nijo Imperial Palace must have Higashikari Sakamoto has already taken refuge..."

Hojo Shizheng's expression changed, and he pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Now Miyoshi repairs the hall and died of illness. What kind of impact does it have?"

All the ministers clapped their hands and sighed or laughed without saying a word, but the royal companions Takeda Nobutora suddenly opened their tiger eyes, stared at Ashikaga Yoshishi with piercing eyes, and said: "His Royal Highness wants to fight for succession? Do you want to complete the Kanto?" The ambition of the imperial court for 200 years? Do you want to do rebellious things?"

In an instant, the complexions of the important ministers present changed rapidly, and they looked at the veteran over 40 years old in amazement. Seeing the often silent and dazed old man with white hair and beard like frost, but with a ruddy complexion and clear and bright eyes in his old age, it seemed as if He is not an old man over seventy years old, but a brave and fearless general in his forties.

"What the hell is going on here!" Toki Laiyun and Takeda Nobutora belonged to the royal companions, both were governors of the famous Genji family, and both were guardian daimyos of the Muromachi shogunate. It can be said to be miserable and make people cry when they ask the sad listener, but Takeda Nobutora still maintains the rigidity and stubbornness of being a general, which is something that Toki Laiyun, who can only draw eagles, cannot do.

Beibata Sallow House waved a feather fan and said loudly: "Takeda Jingzhaoden's words are serious! Jingzhaoden was once the guardian of Kai. You should know that at the beginning of the warring states, it was a powerful and powerful warrior who bullied the weak and abused the shogunate. The order of the shogunate has harmed the country and the people, and the troubled times are gradually rising, and the country will not be able to survive!

Now, there is His Royal Highness Gongfang who rose up in response to the troubled times. Originally, he belonged to Genji Zhengsaku's family. His family background is distinguished and noble, and the world admires him. Sweeping away evil spirits, and then ordered to go to Echigo to fight against the rebellion and pacify the gangsters. For more than ten years, he entered the Kanto, attacked Yuao, marched thousands of miles and fought in all directions, and he was always at a disadvantage. Who can compare? "

Takeda Nobutora remained silent, Toki Laiyun was stunned, Hojo Uchiyasu was thoughtful, Uesugi Kenshin smiled happily, Sanada Yutaka nodded, Hojo Shizheng was shaken, Satake Yoshinaka bowed his head in awe, and all the officials looked up in admiration or admiration. When holding Ashikaga Yoshishi, he was as unrestrained and unrestrained as he had seen.

Hojo's Kang Chijie praised: "This is the number one hero in the world!"

This is not over yet, Beibata's house replied: "His Royal Highness is also a sage king! In the barren suburbs of Musashi, he erected a luxurious mansion in Senmachi and moved thousands of people to live in it. However, after a few springs and autumns, he established a prosperous foundation that was not easy for a century. The Kanto Pearl, which cannot be erased by the passage of time, is so prosperous that the warriors of the Eastern Kingdom are fascinated by the family to invest in it, so the customs of the Kanto have changed accordingly.

Since then, legislation has been established to establish dignity and inferiority, and rewards and punishments have been clearly distinguished, and grace and power have been given together. However, within a few years, everyone from the Kanto samurai family to the townspeople and farmers have been convinced and awed. The king creates a foundation that has never been seen for thousands of years, and is admired by the world forever. How can I ask if you meet a virtuous king and don't vote for him?In troubled times, the general is in danger of suffering. Why can't His Royal Highness aspire to the big position with a hundred thousand tigers? "

This murderous speech is like a call to crusade against the Quartet. The trembling warriors suddenly realized that they shook their bodies, and then looked at Ashikaga Yoshitoki with erratic eyes. Many genealogy retainers had vaguely noticed it many years ago. Ashikaga Yoshitoki's ambition is extraordinary, and raising his family into the Kanto Ashikaga family further confirmed his burning ambition.

When reading the imperial scriptures in Edo Castle, the winter thunder from the sky shook the world, more like the gods and Buddhas were showing the irreversible destiny to the world. (To be continued..)
