Pillars of the Wu family

"Let's not mention the unclear pedigree, just say that the Bando Hachihei clan under Yu's wife will be incorporated into the imperial family. It is not against the bloodline of the Hojo Party to inherit Zongyou from the Hojo Shizheng who was born in the Iseheira clan. The Chichibu Party has Oyamada , Kasai, Edo, Takayama, Johoji and other samurai families; Miura Party has Masaki, Wada, Numata, Nakajo and other samurai families; Chiba Party has Fang Soheira clan; Kamakura Party has Nagao Clan; Ozawa Party has Echigo The Hira family and the Hitaru Hira family, the Toi party has Toi Masashibu and Miyabe Jirun, and the Kumagai party has branches in Anyun and Omi."

"These source streams are too scattered, how to calculate them all the time?"

Ashikaga Yoshitoki also said: "I don't care about those who are not under the jurisdiction. The editors who belong to Dongguo compile the catalog, and those who cheat are eliminated. They are selected and selected as the reserve team. Unify the colors, and the outstanding warriors of the eight families will think of me as the help of the Kwantung General's Mansion."

"Is the Fujiwara branch also compiled in this way? How to deal with it if it is adopted?"

"The adoptive ones choose according to their own wishes. Refer to Genji Hatakeyama. You can change from Hirashi Hatakeyama to Genji Hatakeyama. Refer to Fujiwara's Watari and Kokubun. They can be adopted by the Chiba clan and return to the pure Hachira family. Refer to Fujiwara's Satake, who neither changed his surname nor continued, can be treated as a Genji and can be counted as a first-class Fujiwara clan."

Yoshigetsu Satake listened to the general reveal his family's background with a weeping face. His ancestor was the son of the Uesugi family, the governor of the Kanto region. However, in the past hundred years, the one-door collar system has collapsed too quickly, and basically no one cares whether you are a cat or a dog. As long as you are good enough to push your son over, you can attack the big tail wolf.

Satake Yoshishige's family can openly call themselves the descendants of Seiwa Genji Yoshimitsu.In fact, he is not a descendant of Yuan Yiguang at all.Not even a little bit of patrilineal blood relationship.If it were any other samurai, they might recognize him as a member of the royal family, but Ashikaga Yoshitoki couldn't rub the sand in his eyes.

It's like Ashikaga Yoshimasa compiled "Knowledge of Zhujiamon" because he didn't want to be disturbed by messy people seeking relatives. All messy people claim to be relatives of the Ashikaga family, and even claim to be the general's Luo Yin. How much courage is needed for this And how stupid, just take no family legends, no pedigree, and no historical records at all, and run to find relatives. If this can be done, the cost of recognizing relatives is too low.

Ashikaga Yoshitoki said: "Everyone, make corresponding preparations as soon as possible. The first batch of imperial family members will be reported in the near future, and I will use it!"

Fortunately, the family members of Jinwei's family were entertained by Hu Ji in the side hall. A long time ago, the old man Jinwei didn't care about the change of the banquet. It was already midnight when the banquet was over. , Konoe pulled Ashikaga Yoshito a long time ago and asked, "Is Xianzi doing well in Edo?"

Walking out of the hall, I was shocked by the cold night wind blowing in front of me, and my head immediately became clearer. I rubbed my temples and said: "Sister-in-law is doing well, Princess Huizi and Princess Junzi are very healthy, lively and lovely children. Recognize the two princesses as adopted daughters!"

Konoe asked a long time ago: "I plan to get Junko engaged to my second son. I don't know what you think?"

"It's ok! It's good to be happy, happy to be happy, kiss to be good to kiss! Huizi, I am planning to entrust my brother to find a suitable marriage!"

"How is Hino Terusuke?"

"The governor of the Hino family?" Ashikaga Yoshitoki pondered for a moment, then said, "We'll see the situation at that time!"

……

On the 12th of the first month of the 1569th year of Yonglu (28).The Tsuruoka Hachiman Palace is decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the ministers gathered here. Today, the ceremony of the Yuanfu ceremony of Ashikaga Zhenwangmaru, the son of the Kwantung General’s family, will be held here. Miyabetsu, right general Ashikaga Yoshitoki and Konoe Maeku sit side by side.

The melodious Kagura came from behind the main hall, and in the main hall, Konoe Maeku and Ashikaga Yoshitoki were sitting cross-legged in black court clothes, and the samurai from the Kantohoku region were also standing in the hall in gorgeous clothes. If you can't fit it, look out and see that the corridors, other rooms, and even the open space of the square are full of people. They are quietly waiting for this great moment to come.

The sun rose high, and the ceremonial officer sang: "The auspicious time has come! Respectfully invite Zhen Wang Wan Dian to enter the hall!"

Ashikaga Jinwangmaru is dressed in a gorgeous straight, walking slowly behind the ceremonial officer. Nagao Kiheiji, who is in Yuanfu in advance, and Nagao Yashiro, as Ashikaga Jinwangmaru's companion, will follow closely behind and guard, Nagao Kiheiji Miao Inherited the Kajiwara Clan, also a powerful branch of the Kamakura Party, and changed its name to Kajihara Kagekatsu.

Following Ashikaga Jinwangmaru, there is also the second son of Mitsui Toraka. After the eldest son Mitsui Takanori became a powerful eunuch, he was ordered to identify Fujido Takatora who inherited the Fujido clan's Miao character, Ina Tadaji, the eldest son of the Ina Tadaka family, and Matsui Yasuyuki Matsui, the eldest son of Zhengzhi, was also among them, and the samurai along the way where they passed bowed down one by one.

The tedious ceremony began with the singing ceremony. Yoshikage Nagao cut off the forehead bangs for Ashikaga Jinomaru and combed her hair in a high bun. Konoe Maeku picked up the Liwu hat and walked up to crown him slowly, and then took the pen Dip the ink and write a large Thai character, and whisper: "The Master said: A gentleman is beneficial but not wasteful, labors but not complaining, desires but not greedy, Tai is not arrogant, mighty but not violent, Tai is your name, Please Ruodian remember the four words "Thai but not arrogant!"

The little boy who gave up his childhood name respectfully took the copybook, turned around to face hundreds of pairs of eyes, and said loudly, "From today onwards, my name is Ashikaga Sosaburo Yoshiyasu!"

The samurai kneeling on the ground in the corridor outside the hall burst into an uproar, and Sanada Yoshiyuki also said with a look of surprise: "It turned out to be a Thai character! This is a tribute to the Ashikaga pillar!"

"Then my son-in-law, won't he be called Hojo Yasuki in the Yuanfu?" Hojo Shizheng smiled wryly: "This tribute will bring misery to my Hojo family."

Yuuki Qingchao smiled and said: "Hojo Yasuki is pretty good too! 300 years ago, Hojo Yasuki bestowed a word of worship on Chikoji Temple (Ashikashi Yasushi), and 300 years later, the Shaoden gave it to Sagami Shouden's son-in-law. It's fate to bow to the leader with one word!"

The companions in the hall were also very surprised. The Ashikaga Yasushi was the pillar of the four generations of the Ashikaga family in the Kamakura period.Succeeding from his father Ashikaga Yoshiji's service as Mikawa guardian.Among his descendants, there are many branch veins, such as the famous Spode family and Yise family.Has a great influence in the pillars of the Ashikaga family, and Hojo Yasuki is even more powerful. The three generations of the Hojo family of the Kamakura shogunate were in power, and the initiator of the Chengjiu Rebellion, personally changed the Kamakura shogunate. The embarrassing situation in the East, with outstanding achievements and extraordinary influence in the Kamakura period.

The deeper the allusion, the more I feel that Ashikaga Yoshitoki has deep intentions. Since the Muromachi shogunate, the rule of generations of family governors in Kyoto's Yuanfu has been broken. In the past, the general presided over the Yuanfu ceremony himself.And according to the rules, the ceremony of bestowing the last word "yi" was also abandoned, and it was changed to Ashikaga Yoshitoki and Konoe Maeku presided over the Yuanfu ceremony, which indicated that Ashikaga Yoshitoki had determined to break with the shogunate.

"Ashikaga Yoshiyasu!" Uesugi Kenshin, as the deputy guest, was sitting first in Konoe for a long time and had the honor to witness the fall of his predecessor Guan Bai. He stared at the big "Tai" and laughed: "What a Tai!" Words, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, the world is peaceful, and the Zhiguang Temple can feel at ease in the Paradise of Elysium!"

"Shaodian Yuanfu! Is the next step..." Sanada Kotaka suddenly stopped, looking back at the samurai outside the hall, there was a violent commotion.An envoy with a helmet on his back and two banners on his back came rushing forward with an edict in his hands, and the warriors watched the envoy's movements in horror.Because they knew that it was a special action only if they held the emperor's edict in their hands.

"When the courtiers of the Yuan court were serving the two right guard generals and the right Maliao imperial supervisor Ashikaga Yoshihide, they disregarded the imperial court's decrees and violated the etiquette of the monarchs and ministers, and plundered orders in various countries to make the people torment the people. If the enemy does not escape, Heaven will punish the evil party, and all the soldiers of the Eastern Kingdom will be recruited. All the armies of the Eastern Kingdom will be conscripted, and the rewards for meritorious deeds will be rewarded according to the request. Three days."

"God's punishment! Facing the enemy!" Jin Wei stood up angrily a long time ago, his eyes widened and said: "This is the decree to punish the enemy! It turned out to be a decree to punish the enemy!"

The complexion of the samurai in the Hachiman Shrine changed suddenly, and Yoshiyasu Ashikaga stood in the hall at a loss, when he heard Haruki Imadegawa and Kokyo Tokudaiji terrified: "The enemy! The enemy! How could it be!"

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! The Emperor has just been promoted by His Royal Highness, how could he issue a decree to punish the enemy! This is not in line with common sense!" After a quick glance, his face was ashen-colored, and he said in a daze, "It's really written by the emperor's imperial pen... the enemy!"

Ashikaga Yoshiaki was trembling with anger, and said with a sneer: "To the enemy! My Yoshitoki will also face the enemy one day! Ashikaga Yoshiaki is really ruthless!"

"The announcement from the Imperial Court in Zhengqin Town is here!" Another envoy came rushing in, holding the decree high in his hand, and this envoy raised his head and felt that the atmosphere in the hall was not right.

The emissary didn't know the situation, so he was stunned for a while and then read aloud: "The courtiers of the source, the three powerful officials, said Ashikaga Yoshiaki, disregarded the court's decrees and killed brothers and mothers, which violated the etiquette of human relations and is a shame for all generations , support the royal family to abolish the establishment, and after a hundred generations, the chaos is so severe that things are like killing the king. If you are the enemy of the court, you will not escape the heaven and punish the murderous party. Let the fate be in the way of heaven, and you can send troops to the capital as early as possible. Those who treat each other from the right general and the people of the Eastern Kingdom, those who can visit Luo soon, will be ordered to go to Luo.

Today Izu, Shomo, Musashi, Anfang, Kamiso, Shimoso, Hitachi, Shinano, Ueno, Shimono, Mutsu, Izuha, Echigo, Etchu, Kaga, Hida and other countries, Higashi right-handed generals can send letters, The reasons for the relatives of the same family, the parents of the family they admire, and the book-like form, the reason for the attack on Bandong from Kyoto, there is a rumor that the right general has the imperial power, and he is standing. Yonglu 12 On the fifth day of the first lunar month of the year, Ashikaga Right General Yishi. "

Jinwei said in surprise a long time ago: "Another edict to rule against the enemy?"

On the left is a decree to rule against the enemy, and on the right is a decree to rule against the enemy, and the warriors' eyes turned dark and they fell into chaos. Beiban shook his head in disbelief and said, "This situation seems wrong! The Emperor Omachi has abdicated as the Supreme Emperor! How could he send an order to the court to punish usurpers and abolish the establishment...Wait! Abolish the establishment? The Emperor has been abolished as the Supreme Emperor?"

"The emperor has been abolished!" Hojo Ujiyasu opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Ashikaga Yoshiaki is really daring, isn't he afraid of heaven's punishment?"

Ashikaga Yoshitoki took over the decree and said coldly: "Hasn't the divine punishment already come? The decree to rule against the enemy! God's punishment, the decree against the enemy! Support the new emperor to issue the decree to rule against the enemy, but he doesn't want the emperor to also issue the decree It is obvious that the decree announced by the court is more effective than the usurped emperor! Yoshiaki Ashikaga's rebellion is asking for death!"

Manipulating the imperial power and abolishing the emperor has often happened since ancient times. The earliest Soga controlled the abolition of the emperor and then was exterminated. In Kiyomori, Emperor Shirakawa supported Emperor Antoku after the abolition of Emperor Shirakawa. In the Kamakura period, the Johisa rebellion led the Hojo family to take power, and they simply created two lines to take turns serving as emperor. The emperor was forced to retreat Yoshino is an example.

In the late Heian period, the power of the emperor was higher than that of the emperor. One paper court declared half the sky, and the emperor Shirakawa, the emperor Toba, the emperor Goshirakawa, and the emperor Gotoba performed the administration of the court to the extreme. One emperor can change several emperors in a few years. Its power is simply incomprehensible, but after all, it was an old thing many years ago. The term "emperor" was no longer popular in the Muromachi era, and it was not new when the emperor died. There is no chance for the emperor to take power.

Masaki Hattori came to Ashikaga Yoshitoki quietly, and said in a low voice: "Hinata Shouden's secret letter, at the Shodan Grand Court Meeting on the first day of the first lunar month, Ashikaga Yoshiaki launched a mutiny to support Prince Chengren as the enthroned and crowned emperor. , the Emperor Masakimachi was confined in the chapter tower and could not leave the house, and was rescued by Hattori Hochoden desperately, and fled to the Sakamoto Castle with the Emperor Masakimachi... At this moment, Usayama Castle has been surrounded by the shogunate army. !"

"What!" Ashikaga Yoshitoki couldn't sit still any longer, and said angrily, "Masakimachi escaped from Kyoto and took refuge in Sakamoto! Ashikaga Yoshiaki really dared to lead an army to attack his family's territory, he is going to be lawless!"

The Kanto samurai were stunned by a series of upheavals and their legs trembled, but when they saw Ashikaga Yoshitoshi, they suddenly stood up, walked to the front of the main hall and shouted: "Send me an order, the samurai assigned by the Kanto General's Mansion, recruit for military service Bring your weapons and go to the front of the Hachiman Palace before March [-]th to participate in the battle, and raise volunteer soldiers to attack the enemy of the court, and you must not violate it!"

A proclamation of [-] li speeding up and running in all directions, the Kanto was shocked and the world was shaken, the world-famous Kanto General, and the two right generals Ashikaga Yoshitoki turned against each other!This is really a big piece of news, followed by the Ashikaga Yoshitoki decree, and the Emperor Masaki was abolished, and Ouchi was imprisoned for Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and he fled to Sakamoto Castle news. (To be continued..)

ps: The two imperial edicts against the enemy are not nonsense. The first one is from the Southern and Northern Dynasties era, Emperor Go-Daigo’s imperial edict against the enemy, and the second one is more than 100 years earlier, the Chengjiu Rebellion.
