Warring States Eagle

History, Emperor Nara died in the third year of Hongzhi (1557), and the body of Emperor Nara was placed in the Kuroto Imperial Palace for two and a half months before the funeral could be held. %乐%read%novel.２３x.com It is precisely because of this that the newly succeeded Emperor Masakimachi officially succeeded to the throne after the funeral ceremony was held, and it was already 1558 at this time.After succeeding to the throne, the imperial palace and the shogunate officially announced that on February 1558, 2, the year name was changed from the original "Hongzhi" to "Yonglu".

Only this time, because of the timely funding provided by the Luo family, the funeral of Emperor Go Nara was successfully held at the beginning of October 1557, and at the end of December 1557, the Emperor Masakimachi who officially succeeded to the throne was also held. The grand succession ceremony, so January 12, 1558 was set as the beginning of the "Yonglu First Year", more than two months earlier than in history.

In March of the first year of Yongroku, after completely inheriting the throne of the emperor, Emperor Masakimachi quickly gave back to the Luo family.On March 1558th, the first year of Yongroku ([-]), the envoy of Emperor Masakimachi visited the Luo family again.At this time, the territory of the Luo family in the West Country of Honshu Island has been completely pacified, and the local area is preparing for spring plowing, and Masaragi, who has been away from the state for a while, has returned to the state of Hizen.

In the school city of Hizen country, Masaragi personally received the envoy this time.According to the reports from the personnel from Kyoto who entered Xuefu City one step ahead of time, it can be said that the people under the Emperor's command fought to be the envoys to Luo's family this time.Jing Gaoji's previous mission, because he hoped that the Luo family and the Maori family, who were in the midst of a struggle, would negotiate a peace, was obviously a matter of offending the Luo family.So no one was willing to take up the post of messenger at that time.In the end, everyone had no choice but to recommend Jing Gokichi, who had to bite the bullet and come to mediate the peace talks, as the envoy.The results seem unlikely to succeed.Moreover, the errand that was easy to offend the Luo family was successfully completed by Jing Gaoji, and he also got a lot of benefits, which naturally made everyone envious.

Now this time, they came here to benefit the Luo family, and naturally they would get more benefits from the Luo family, so it's no wonder that everyone didn't fight over their heads.After a lot of scrambling, in the end, the guard with a strong enough background and many connections got the good job a long time ago.As the five-camera family (camera, the highest position of the imperial court of the emperor. It can be promoted through the official positions of Dai Nayan, right minister, left minister, etc., and finally become a high-ranking family such as regent and Guanbai. The five-camera refers to the near The descendants of the Wei family, the Jou family, the Takashi family, the Nijo family, and the Ichi family), Konoe’s long-term Waka and Liange talents are very good, and the level of calligraphy, equestrianism, and eagle hunting is even more outstanding. A famous celebrity.At this time, Jinwei had been the official left minister a long time ago, and was promoted to Guan Bai, the highest position in the court, soon after.

And as far as Masara knew, soon after, Echigo's Nagao Keigora (later Uesugi Kenshin) went to Luo, and Konoe Maeku and Nagao Keigora were in love with each other and signed a blood letter as an alliance.Form an alliance.Since Konoe had assumed the position of Kanbaku a long time ago, he went to Echigo in the 3rd year of Eiroku (1560).He contributed a lot to the Raiders of Nagao Jinghu's Ueno Kingdom and Shimoso Kingdom in the Kanto pacification war.It is worthy of being a Warring States Duke full of action.The Luo family will naturally try their best to curry favor with such a hot-blooded minister of the capital, maybe they will need his help in the future.

After meeting with Konoe at the Daming Mansion in Xuefu City, Konoe, who was an envoy, immediately held a reward ceremony:

"I recently heard that there is a warrior from the Western Kingdom, the Luo family, who is loyal, brave, benevolent and righteous..." In the Dahiro room of the daimyo's mansion, Konoe Qianjiu sat at the head seat, and the retainers of the Luo family in the academy lined up on both sides.Zhengliang himself was kneeling in the hall, bowing to Konoe Maejiu, as if he was listening respectfully to the 'Heaven's Voice'.

Konoe Maekumoto was also very solemnly dressed, and he read the last sentence with an unusually solemn expression: "... I am conferring the duties of the imperial concubine, and I hope that you will be loyal and not disappoint me!"

"My lord, thank the emperor for his grace!" After giving the gift, Zheng Liang passed the imperial decree of Jinwei Qian Jiushou.

What is the Royal Companion?In fact, it corresponds to the highest family status of the public official, and it is one of the family status of the shogunate.The family status of the shogunate is roughly divided into three categories: the imperial family, the pedigree family members since Takashi, who can accompany the general to eat meals; The guardian, but not the person who served as the imperial companion and the leader.

As for the royal companions, they are the highest level of the shogunate family, and they can have meals with the general.With the family recognition of the emperor and the shogunate, Zheng Liang can serve as the shogun in the future.

What made Zheng Liang feel strange was that Konoe came here a long time ago to represent the emperor's side, but he was rewarded with the family status of the shogunate side, which seemed unsuitable.Could it be that Ashikaga Yoshiki was handed over to Konoe, who represented the emperor this time, because he was unable to officially send an envoy because he lived in Kuchiki Valley in Omi at this time.

But why did Ashikaga Yoshiki suddenly do this?One must know that the Luo family had previously ordered Shenglong Yiyi who was stationed in the Kyoto area to operate at full capacity, hoping to obtain the family status of the royal companions, but Ashikaga Yoshiki has never let go.Now at this time, he actually joined forces with the emperor to reward the family status that the Luo family needed?

Zheng Liang immediately thought of a previous piece of information that Shenglong had sent, which mentioned that Miyoshi Changqing and his son seemed to be forcing Ashikaga Yoshiki to reward them with royal companions.From this point of view, Ashikaga Yoshiki rewarded himself with the royal companions before Miyoshi Changqing and his son. On the one hand, he deliberately made Miyoshi Changqing and his son ugly, and on the other hand, he deliberately compared the Luo family represented by Masara with the Miyoshi family. Deliberately implying to Miyoshi Changqing and his son that their father and son are actually not as good as Masaragi!Thinking about it this way, Ashikaga Yoshiki's move was really ruthless. It was to prevent the Luo family from becoming friendly with the Miyoshi family in the future, and even intentionally caused the Luo family to confront the Miyoshi family.

However, Ashikaga Yoshiki's chess piece is actually redundant. At this time, under the leadership of the four Miyoshi Changqing brothers, the Miyoshi family has successively touched Awaji, Awa, and Sanuki. It is expanding its power in Yamashiro, Yamato, Iga, Hanoi, Izumi, Settsu and Kii, and tends to control Kinki and Shikoku.In this way, if Zhengliang plans to go to Luo in the future, no matter which path he takes, he will meet the Miyoshi family who are in their heyday.However, the attitude of the Miyoshi family to control Kyoto at this time and the internal system of the Luo family at this time are obviously incompatible, so the two families will fight a big battle no matter what, so Ashikaga Yoshiki took great pains to provoke Luo. The relationship between the family and the Miyoshi family is nothing but futility. (To be continued..)
