Chapter 257: The Five Regents
Zhuang Yi originally thought that the family inheritance ceremony was just a ceremony within Sakurasaki's family, but when he arrived at the venue, he was really stunned by the crowd. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The venue is located at the back of the mountain occupied by the Sakurasaki Ancient House, and at the top of the mountain, it is a Japanese-style building with a main hall and a few side rooms, and not far from it is the maple forest where the Yaryosaki ancient well is located. The main hall is quite large, with flower baskets and congratulatory gifts standing in front of the hall, Sakurasaki May accompanied Sakurasaki Takako to stand at the door to greet the guests one by one, and Sakurasaki Takashi also stood next to Sakurasaki May.
Zhuang Yi was near the side room, looking at the guests who seemed to have a lot of potential to enter the venue, although he was not familiar with Nihong's royal relatives and nobles and celebrities, but he was introduced. Not far from them, two people were whispering about the identities of these guests, and Zhuang Yi could hear them word for word.
In front of them are some Nihong stars and celebrities from all walks of life, and a few people Zhuang Yi has seen on TV, all of them are directors of Nihong's famous enterprises, and everyone is wearing a suit or dress, which is particularly formal.
Zhuang Yi even saw some business people from China. After all, Sakurasaki's family has developed in the business world, in addition to the business of the awakening world, there are also some investments in the IT industry and the cultural media industry, although almost all of these investments are taken care of by Sakurasaki's family, especially Sakurasaki's family, but in Nihong, the family business of the division is to a certain extent, and there is still a share of the family.
Then Zhuang Yi unexpectedly saw a few acquaintances, Qiao Yibai and Qiao Zhendong of Qiaoshan International, followed by Qiao Feifei.
Since that day, Wanheng Marine Aquarium has seen Qiao Feifei in the form of a squid. Never seen again. The little girl followed her brother and second uncle step by step, and there were no more messy decorations and tattoos on her body, although her hair was still permed. But it's a relatively refreshing brown pear blossom head, which looks much calmer and more well-behaved than before, and it is estimated that there will be no more "forbidden room cultivation/desire" and the like.
Qiao Feifei seemed to be very familiar with this inheritance ceremony of the Sakurasaki family, looking left and right, when his eyes glanced at Zhuang Yi's side, Zhuang Yi lowered his head, he didn't have a beard or a disguise now. Although standing in the dark, it is still necessary to guard against it.
After the business people. Among them were some political officials and parliamentarians, and Zhuang Yi saw Yuji Yamamoto, head of the Kyoto branch of the Special High Office who had been ordered to "invite" Qi Shaoxing to leave the country a few days ago, and he was also wearing a suit and respectfully following behind a middle-aged man who had been in touch for about 50 years. Dare to love this is Daisuke Ono, the director of the Special High Hall.
After the group of people from the extra-high hall entered the venue, another group of people came on the bluestone road of the maple forest, dressed in kimonos, led by two people in their forties, with a peaceful smile on their faces, and their bearing and demeanor did not look like people from the business or political circles.
Zhuang Yi was guessing the identities of these people, and the two people not far away began to talk again.
"Look, the representatives sent by the Nihong Imperial Family this time are Prince Motohito of Dewa Palace and Prince Toshihito of Mutsu Palace." The taller and stronger of the two.
It turned out that this person was a representative of the royal family, and Zhuang Yi couldn't help but look at the next two princes. As far as he knew. The Nihong royal family is now Emperor Heiren, and has three sons and one daughter, the crown prince Anren. The two princes, Motohito Dehamamiya and Toshihito Mutsunomiya, and the princess is Prince Sasanhito of Izumiya.
"What do you think of Takako Sakurasaki and Sakurasaki May's mood right now?" The tall man asked.
"What's the mood?" The short and thin man said.
Crown Prince Anren didn't show his face. It seems that Sakurasaki's status among the five families has probably fallen again and again, and now it has fallen to the end. ”
Regarding the matter of the Five Sets, Zhuang Yi has already heard Sakurasaki Chiyo popularize. The Five Families were originally a product of the Kamakura Shogunate Minamoto Yori Dynasty, and the Household Families were the high-ranking families of the Nihong family. The five regent families in the official history are the Konoe clan, the Kujo clan, the Takaji clan, the Nijo clan, and the Ichijo clan. The Five Senses in the Nihong Awakening Realm obviously have different meanings, referring to the five awakened families hidden behind the Nihong royal family - the Ji clan, the Kujo clan, the Takaji clan, the Sakurasaki clan, and the Kazama clan.
Almost all of these families have been passed down for more than a thousand years. They are behind the scenes that have influenced the history of Nyon in some way.
Among the Goshi, the Kujo clan and the Takashi clan were once active in the foreground of history, and they became a solid force in supporting Minamoto Yoritomo during the Kamakura shogunate. The Kazama family has a short history of only 1,000 years. With a heritage of more than 2,000 years, the Sakurasaki family used to be a powerful family of awakened people, especially in the Heian period, but now the talent is withering and its strength is gradually weakening.
Zhuang Yi felt incredible, it was the Ji family who ranked first among the five families. The surname Ji is clearly the eight ancient surnames of Huaxia, when did he go to Nihong.
However, Sakurasaki Chiyo said that the Ji family really came from China, and it has been passed down from the Jomon era of Nihong to the present, and the recorded family history is tens of thousands of years, and it is an ancient family with many secrets. Importantly, the Ji clan is the only family that has the Wushu bloodline in Nihong today.
In the past, there were many branches of the Ji family, and Onmyoji such as Abe Qingming were also branches of this witch family, but now the witch bloodline of these branches is broken, and only the Ji family continues to pass on a single line.
"That's right." The short and thin man said, "Over the years, the inheritance ceremony of the head of the Ji family, the emperor will attend no matter what, but it is the Ji family who has the only witch bloodline of Nihong, and it is estimated that the people of the other families dare not have any opinions." At the succession ceremony of the head of the Kujo family and the Takaji family, although Emperor Hirahito did not attend, at least he sent Crown Prince Yasuhito, hey, it turned out that only the prince came to Sakurasaki's house. If I were Takako Sakurasaki, I would be so angry that I would blow up my lungs. ”
Sakurasaki Takako is over sixty years old, but she looks like a woman in her forties and fifties, her skin is very white, which is probably the reason for refining too much corpse qi, and the whole person is as gloomy and pale as a dead person. Zhuang Yi listened to the words of the short and thin man, and really took a closer look at Sakura Sakura's face, but unfortunately, the old man is the old man, and his joy and anger are almost invisible.
In comparison, the Sakura Sakura in the rear is much worse in May, and his face is a little blue.
"Auntie! Aren't you angry! ”
After inviting the two princes of Dewa Palace and Mutsu Palace into the venue, Sakurasaki May looked at no one around, gritted her teeth and said to Sakurasaki Takako.
"Angry? What can anger change? Sakurasaki Takako said, "The family is in decline, and this kind of treatment is normal." So I hope that after you take over as the head of the family, you will be able to carry forward my Sakurasaki family. In May, your qualifications are still shallow, your ability is not enough, and your temperament is not stable, I originally planned to cultivate you for a while, but my body, I'm afraid it won't last long. Sakurasaki's family, after I left, there were only three of you brothers and sisters left, and I have seen the fight between you and Chiyo for more than ten years, and I have been turning a blind eye, and that's because you didn't make a big deal. But no matter what kind of grievances and infighting, it can't be at the expense of the interests of the Sakurasaki family! Did you hear me clearly? ”
"Clear." Sakurasaki Mayo. To be continued
