Warring States Eagle

The royal companion is the highest level of the shogunate family, and can have meals with the general.

Historically, the powerful families who have served as the imperial companions include the Hatakeyama family (the first governor of the Hatakeyama family, Hatakeyama Miki to the sixth generation governor Yoshimoto, has been appointed as the imperial companions of the Muromachi shogunate), the Takeda family (Takeda Harunobu’s father, Takeda Nobutora, served Ashikaga Yoshiki as an imperial companion since the sixth year of Yonglu), Saito family (Saito Yoshitaka once served), Mori family (Ashikaga Yoshiki was appointed to attract famous names from all over the world after he took office) for the Mori family) and the Miyoshi family.When the Miyoshi family was in the dictatorship of Kyoto, Miyoshi Changqing and his son served as imperial companions (this time it was not a voluntary appointment by the court shogunate, but was forcibly obtained by Miyoshi General), which shows the high position and weight of the Miyoshi family in the court and the shogunate at that time up.

Similar to the imperial companions, the service positions representing the daimyo's family status also include the country's masters (the Ashikaga family has higher meritorious service and is the guardian of a big country, but they are not held by the imperial companions and leaders), the foreign Congregation (the branch of the state's supporters), Yugongzhong (retainers of genealogy since Zunshi, who can eat with the general).Among them, the one with the highest family status is naturally accompanied by the royal family.

Don't underestimate these official positions that enhance the family's character.This era is an era that pays attention to the noble and humble blood relationship, and the level of family status also represents the noble and humble blood relationship to a certain extent.

Take Takahisa Shimadzu as an example. Historically, after the unification of Satsuma, many retainers in the family still had gossip about his origin, and then doubted his legitimacy as the successor of the family governor (that is, he suspected that his blood was not noble enough. , not enough to match the position of the Shimadzu family governor), and later he obtained the position of repair doctor through the Konoe Tsuke family.He was finally officially recognized as the governor of the Shimadzu family.Therefore, the higher the official position the family governor can obtain, the higher the family status of the clan where the family governor belongs.The retainers under his command will respect the clan more and more.

years ago.The Luo family has worked through the operation, allowing the shogunate and the court to recognize the family tree of the Luo family, and the Luo family has also been gilded as a descendant of Genji, and the family status has also been recognized.Now that Zhong Yumen Xuanxiu suddenly mentioned the position of royal companion who can improve the Luo family's family status again, Zheng Liang was naturally interested.

"Before the next trip, my father once said that he strongly supported Mr. Xiuxiu to take up this position." Seeing that Zheng Liang was really interested.Zhongyumen Xuanxiu immediately struck while the iron was hot and said.

"Then I will have the great help of Nayan, the labor authority, and I will be responsible for all the money and food during the period." Since the family has taken the initiative to hint that they will help him win the position of raising his family status, Zheng Liang naturally can't be stingy , so he immediately expressed his opinion.Sitting on the side, this time the Luo family, who accompanied the imperial shogunate's envoy back to Kyushu, followed a Shenglong rule and immediately saluted Zhengliang to express his understanding.

"I also understand the difficulties of the imperial court. I will be more respectful to the imperial court in the future." While expressing his strong support for Zhong Yumen Xuanxiu and others to help Luo Shi love to win a higher official position, Zheng Liang continued.This is tantamount to bribing the court envoy Jinwei in disguise for a long time.Since support must be fully and in place, this Minister of Internal Affairs who has a lot of influence within the court naturally cannot be left behind. [

"Hehe, it's good that the repair doctor can understand!" Sure enough, after hearing Zheng Liang's initiative to mention himself, Jin Wei immediately smiled.Then the voice changed and took the opportunity to speak. "Actually, there is another purpose for coming here this time."

"Oh?"

"I heard that Mr. Repairer's wife and family are not very full. Zhong Yumen Xuanxiu happens to have a 14-year-old daughter who can be sent to Mr. Repairer to serve him."

"Eh!" Zheng Liang thought that the other party had something important to do, but when he heard such a sentence, he immediately froze.Then he immediately said: "This is inconvenient, I'm afraid I'm not worthy of your lord's daughter."

Just kidding, the wife and room are not full?There are already seven women in Zhengliang's backyard, including Togo Ju, Matsumiko, Tsuru, Butterfly, Hatano Yui, Sagara Risa, and Taijiu Ling. This does not include Nohime, Aso Nozomi who has an ambiguous relationship with Zhengliang, and only husband and wife. Otomosong, whose name is actually husband and wife.Just these women are enough for him to have a headache, if more people come in, Zheng Liang will really be overwhelmed.

"It's very convenient, it's worthy, and I always take my concubine with me when I go out. You shouldn't refuse, Mr. Repairman!" Xuanxiu Zhongyumen, the father of the rightful master, seemed to be afraid that his daughter would not be sold, and hurried Said.

"My lord, this is a good thing!" Without waiting for Zhengliang to continue to take off, Togo Heiji, Yamamoto Kansuke, Ichijo Shenglong and other retainers of the Luo family sitting beside him congratulated on their own initiative.From their point of view, the fact that the lord of the family can marry the daughter of the Duke of Kyoto is itself a symbol of noble status, so they naturally agreed with it.So under the persuasion of everyone, Zheng Liang had no choice but to agree to the marriage.Perhaps for this woman, who Zhengliang has not met yet, even if she was sent to the Luo family as goods and tools, while taking on the tool of maintaining the relationship between the Zhongyumen family and the Luo family, it also relieved the pressure on the Zhongyumen family. family expenses, but at least it can ensure a stable and happy life in the future.

"I don't know if the repair doctor knows the name of Tokai's 'Number One Kyutori of the Tokaido'?" After successfully becoming in-laws with the Luo family, Nobuhide Nakamimon looked very happy, and said to Zheng Liang with a smile.

"Of course, Yoshimoto-sama, the Daisuke of Imagawa Jibu, who dominates Suruga, Tone, and Mikawa, has been famous for a long time!" Zheng Liang said immediately.As long as those who have played games, almost no one knows about this elegant daimyo who loves Noh, Waka and other things, and is both civil and military, but died in the hands of Nobunaga.

"I'm afraid the repair doctor doesn't know? My younger sister is the mother of Imagawa Yoshimoto's chief assistant Yoshimoto-sama." Nakamimon Nobuhide said a little proudly.

"Oh?" When Xuanxiu Zhongyumen mentioned this, Zheng Liang immediately remembered.Isn’t the younger sister of Nobuhide Nakamimon the same Shoukini who married into the Imagawa family at the age of 1508 in the fifth year of Yongzheng (19).After that, Shou Guini lived with the Imagawa family for eighteen years, and gave birth to four sons for the Imagawa family (the eldest son, Imagawa Shihui, the second son, Imagawa Hikoro, the fifth son, Imagawa Yoshimoto, and the sixth son. rich).Now it seems that Zhengliang has a relationship with Zhongyumen Xuanxiu through marriage.He even got involved with Imagawa Yoshimoto.It's just that Zheng Liang's seniority seems a bit low!

"It's the same as Mr. Xiu. Mr. Yoshimoto, the chief assistant of Imagawa Jibu, is also a loyal man with the court in his heart! He is also wholeheartedly preparing to go to Luo to share the court's worries!" Zhong Yumen Xuanxiu said again.

Zhongyumen Xuanxiu said so.Zheng Liang suddenly came to his senses, Zhong Yumen's family played a good game of chess.They have established in-law relationships with the Imagawa family and the Luo family respectively. In the future, no matter which family succeeds in going to Luo, the Zhongyumen family will be the one that benefits the most.No wonder they tried so hard to encourage Luo's family to go to Los Angeles.It's just that the Imagawa family will not formally join Luo family until at least ten years later, and Nobunaga has disturbed them along the way. As for the Luo family?This is not yet determined.If the Luo family went to Luo earlier than the Imagawa family, what kind of changes would this bring to history?

"The loyal heart of Yoshimoto, the chief assistant of Imagawa's ruling department, to help the emperor and the people, to wipe out violence and eradicate evil, is really commendable!" Since the in-laws.Zhengliang naturally did not hesitate to praise.

"My lord Xiuxiu, besides confirming the marriage between my daughter and my lord according to my father's orders, I also have another request when I come here this time," Zhong Yumen Xuanxiu said. [

"Oh?" Zhengliang is now a little bit far away from the two guys, Konoe Maeku and Nakagomon Nobuhide as soon as possible. There are too many requests, a bit like a beggar who keeps coming to the door for help, and people avoid them. less than.

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Repairman." Zhong Yumen Xuanxiu first saluted Xiang, then clapped his hands, and the attendants in the corridor immediately left knowingly.After a while, a child who looked to be only eight years old was brought.

"Master Repairer, this is Hikoshichiro, the second son of Imagawa Jibu Daisuke Yoshimoto. Our family hopes to foster him in Luo's home as a minor surname under the command of Master Repairer." Nobuhide Nakamimon looked at the child.Then said.

"Oh? Is this?" No matter how you look at it, Imagawa meant to take the initiative to form an alliance with the Luo family.This child has assumed the role of hostage, but if there is such a thing as taking the initiative to send hostages, since it is an alliance, it is natural for the two parties to sit down and discuss before sending each other hostages, so Zheng Liang immediately asked doubtfully.

"That's right, that's exactly what my sister and Imagawa Jibu's assistant Yoshimoto-sama mean." Seemingly understanding Zhengliang's question, Nakamimon Nobuhide replied immediately.

"In that case, let's keep it as my surname." Zheng Liang immediately agreed.In my heart, I couldn't help but feel admiration for the means Shou Guini used in this matter.

Obviously, the news of the friendship between the Nakayumen family and the Luo family has been sent back to the Imagawa family.Since the Imagawa family and the Luo family are located in the east and the west of the capital respectively, there is no direct conflict of interest, but on the contrary, they have interests in the capital that can be allied.In addition, the Luo family is already a daimyo of a million stones, and it is naturally a good thing for the Imagawa family, who are daimyos of the same level, to form an alliance with them.And behind the alliance of the Imagawa family and the Yuluo family this time, it is naturally inseparable from the operation of the Zhongyumen family and Shou Guini during this period.

At the same time, Shou Guini also formed an alliance with the Luo family this time, and cleverly made his potential opponent of his grandson Yan Goro (also known as Imagawa Shima) (it was later known by Masaragi that as the second son Yan Qilang, he was very smart since he was a child) , it is said that because of this, he was appreciated by Ohara Yuki, and it can be said that his performance is more suitable as the successor of the family governor than the Imagawa clan), the second son of Imagawa Yoshimoto from the concubine was directly transferred away as an alliance hostage, maintaining the stability of the family .

The Imagawa family implements the traditional son-in-law protection strategy, that is, in order to ensure that the son-in-law succeeds the family governor smoothly and avoid civil strife, except for the son-in-law of the family governor, the other sons of the family governor have to choose to become monks or leave the territory to make a living elsewhere.And after experiencing the Hanakura Rebellion, the Imagawa family has long avoided such things.But if at this time the second son Yan Qilang, who performed better, was sent to become a monk or sent away from the territory, it would obviously cause dissatisfaction among some retainers, so Shou Guini took this opportunity to send Yan Qilang to the Luo family as an alliance hostage.

Hikoshichiro can be said to be both a hostage and a hot potato for the Imagawa family, but for the Luo family, they can accept him without hesitation. Anyway, the worst thing is to have an extra mouthful of food.It's just that Shou Guini's hand is really beautiful.

In this meeting with Zhengliang, both Jinwei Qianjiu and Zhongyumen Xuanxiu have gained something, and the Luo family has also gained a little bit, and both parties are very happy.After the meeting, Maeji Konoe and Nobuhide Nakagomon, at the invitation of Masara, decided to temporarily visit Luo's house before returning to Kyoto.
