Chapter 62 The Famous Men of the World
At the gathering of celebrities and gentlemen, someone asked to chant poems to pay tribute to "Da Nan Gong", at the beginning Okubo did not remember who Da Nan Gong was, but Yoshida Jufang and Miyabe Dingzang chanted two masterpieces of Lai Shanyang in a row, and Okubo reacted slowly to remember who this person was.
Da Nan Gong is the Nanmu Zhengcheng of the Northern and Southern Dynasties - this and the end of the Warring States period Sanada Nobu Shige, Genpei fought with the source of the Yoshitsune, and called the three end of the road heroes, but the world mostly called Nan Zhengcheng or Nan Gong, it is rare that Yoshida actually thought of this person as soon as he heard "Da Nan Gong".
Since Kusunoki is becoming "Great Kusuna", then this self-proclaimed "East Lake" must be Mito Liangda's East Lake Mr. Fujita Toranosuke, Mito Doctrine has an unusual respect for Kusunok, no wonder he has such a question.
Ever since he learned from Mr. Tanan and Oguri that Tokugawa Saiaki was appointed as a coastal defense hanger, Okubo asked his father to help collect information about Mito, so he knew something about Fujita East Lake.
After Yoshida and Miyabe finished chanting the poem, the people next to him urged Okubo to continue, so he didn't have time to think too much, so he had to chant a poem as well:
"The diligent testament is full of tears, and thousands of names are here.
Flowers and flowers bloom at the Sakurai Station, and the fragrance still amuses the old Nanshan. ”
When everyone heard it, they applauded, not that this poem overwhelmed Lai's two masterpieces, but that this poem had never been heard, and it was obviously a new work.
Won the lottery, Okubo was in his heart, just now he felt that this topic was wrong, there was a suspicion of criticizing the shogunate, but someone urged him to hurry up and chant the poem, this chanting was over, he became more and more uneasy.
Kusunoki Masanari was a hero who stood up to assist the small imperial court in Kyoto in times of crisis, a great contributor to the overthrow of the Kamakura shogunate (1192-1333), and later died in battle against the establishment of the Muromachi shogunate (1336-1573), and spent his life against the samurai, that is, the shogun Seiyi, and this topic probably has ulterior motives.
Mito theory has always had the saying of respecting the king, after Qi Zhao succeeded to the head of the family, Mito scholars often criticized the shogunate for disrespecting the imperial court, I thought that Qi Zhao's comeback would be more restrained, but as a right and left hand Fujita Donghu at the gathering of celebrities and gentlemen with the title of "Da Nan Gong", no matter whether there is another deep meaning in this, but he should not invite trouble for Naoxiu.
Thinking of this, Okubo said aloud: "This poem was written by a servant, and there is another clumsy work below, please correct it." ”
"The achievements of his life are like cherry blossoms, and his husband is generous and self-conscious.
Woohoo loyal ministers what is the foot, Wanchuan into the sea to the east. ”
This poem ended, the audience was silent, even the people who played chess and chatted a little farther turned to look at it, Okubo was stunned at the time, this poem was temporarily held out by him, he knew what level he was, he couldn't say anything neat at all, and the current scene showed that he must have made a horse foot again, what a bad luck!
This time, in order to draw a line with Kusunoki, the rebel of the samurai, Okubo hastily wrote a poem:
"If the merits of a lifetime are like floating cherry blossoms, the husband is generous and self-defeating" means "it doesn't matter what you have done in your life, just count what the manly husband has done";
"Woohoo loyal ministers are not enough, Wanchuan enters the sea and the east of the head", this sentence and the previous sentence have the same meaning, "It is nothing what others say, and in the end not everyone wants to go east" - Edo is in the Kanto, this sentence is to the Tokugawa family to slap the horse, wash the feet and hold the boots, which means that you can be heroic, and in the end you don't have to go to Edo to worship, the implication is that the Tokugawa shogunate and the first generation of the family Yasuko are the real victors.
However, the era in which Kusunoki is located has been almost 500 years since this time, although there are still folk legends, but after all, the age is very old, and the recent stir-fry of Nanmu is the originator of Mito Learning, Tokugawa Mitsuku, which is called the one called the Mito Yellow Gate - Mito Tokugawa is the second generation of the head of the Mito Tokugawa family, the official position is the power of Nayan, the Fuso court likes to emulate China, and the corresponding official name of Nayan in the Tang Dynasty is "Yellow Gate", so Guang Yuan is called "Mito Yellow Gate".
In the third year of Genroku (1690), Tokugawa Mitsuki rebuilt the tomb of Kusunoki Masanari in Minatogawa, and the inscription is "Woo Hu Tadashi Kusuno's Tomb", Okubo's family was poor when he was young, and in this life at the age of 14 he was lured by Naohide to study orchids, so he didn't know much about this old thing, he only heard people say "Woo Hu Tadashi Nanko", but he didn't know that it came from Mito's second generation head Koku.
"Woohoo loyal ministers, what is the foot", Okubo pouted the ancestor of the Mito doctrine with a single stroke, so everyone present quieted down, look at it quickly, the big scene that has been looking forward to is coming, Fujita Higashi has been in the limelight in recent years, see how he deals with this stunned boy who came to the door.
Fujita Donghu was punished with Qi Zhao in 1844, and was confiscated from Tian Lu's mansion, and was not allowed to go out of the house in "confinement", but with Qi Zhao's "caution" in 1846, Fujita returned to the feudal government in 1849, and since then he has been campaigning for Qi Zhao's return to the shogunate, although Fujita is popular
, but talking too much will inevitably offend people, so there are many people here who want to see him lively.
Fujita has always been outspoken, bold and generous, but it is normal for a younger generation to ridicule the second-generation head of the family in a poem and say that he is wrong, and the lord humiliates his ministers to death, and it is normal to draw a knife and cut people on the spot.
At this time, I saw the importance of the intermediary, Okubo was brought by Sakuma Zoyama, Sakuma naturally wanted to come forward to reconcile, he hurriedly saluted Fujita Higashiko, and then said:
"Wanchuan enters the sea and is in the east. Virtue and meritorious service are immortal, and they are perfect for the teacher, except for the Mito Yellow Gate, who can deserve it. ”
Confucianism has three immortal sayings, "There is virtue in the Tai, followed by meritorious service, followed by speech, although it has not been abandoned for a long time, this is called immortal." ”
Sakuma, as an old Jianghu, directly identified Okubo's "Wanchuan into the sea to the east of the head of the sea" as admiring Tokugawa Mitsuku, which means that Mitsuki sighed Nanmu "woohoo loyalty", but the world has forgotten, "Woohoo loyalty", Mito is located in the east There is a more bullish person, that is, Mito Huangmen!
Sakuma's statement is very interesting, from the point of view of the three immortals, Tokugawa Mitsuki is indeed stronger than Kusunoki Masanari - Kusunoki was finally defeated and died, and I have heard that there are any doctrines and writings in circulation, at best, it is "virtue", and "meritorious service" is somewhat reluctant.
And Mito Huangmen in folklore similar to the Chinese Bao Zheng, often micro service private visits to punish corrupt officials, really according to the legend calculation, he rectified hundreds of shogunate acting officials, according to the number of acting officials up and down for decades, that virtue and meritorious service are "unmistakable".
This must be called a statement, the classic of the Mito doctrine, "The History of the Great Fuso", was organized and compiled by Koku, and this statement is also worthy of its name.
Besides, "for the teacher to be a perfect person", how nice this is said, the elder Guang Yu routinely persuaded the general at that time, it is not an exaggeration to call it the emperor, and it is not wrong to say it for the sake of the prime minister, and you have rectified hundreds of shogunate acting officials, you say that he does not point fingers at the shogunate's governance, who believes it, it is a little worse for the general, the world was relatively peaceful at that time, at most, it was to pacify some peasants, but a few hundred people in Fusang can be called a joint war, which is not completely unreasonable.
"Virtue and meritorious service are immortal, and the teacher is a perfect person", this evaluation spread, Mito has a great light on his face, and according to Sakuma's statement, Okubo is not a denial of the "Woohoo Loyal Minister" statement, but for Mito Huangmen grievances - people only praise Nanmu but ignore the light of Kunanmu, plus Sakuma also gave himself a salute before speaking, Fujita Higashiko thought of this, the flesh on his face did not jump, and his eyebrows and eyes were stretched.
At this time, the owner Yasui Xixuan also came out to turn around - everyone is willing to come to the Anjing Mansion, just because the old man is lenient, this group of celebrities are all majestic, who has not a little temper, and when they quarrel and fight each other, only Yasui, a good man, can persuade everyone.
"The future is terrifying, but there is no end to learning, and Okubo will still have to ask his seniors for advice in the future." This sentence not only affirmed Okubo, but also quietly praised Fujita Higashi and everyone present, and sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy.
In fact, Yasui disagrees with Sakuma's explanation, and the east of the head is to praise the Mito Yellow Gate, and there is Sendai to the east of Mito, and there is still Ezo in the east of Sendai, not to mention that there is a poem in the Ministry of Du Gong, "The nest father turns around and refuses to live, and the east will enter the sea with the smoke", "Yao let the world let it, (the nest father) does not accept, live in seclusion in Liaocheng, and live by herding", maybe Okubo This young man is satirizing everyone's fame and fortune too much, of course, everyone is not blind, this young man is mostly complimenting the Tokugawa family, but I love to think about how to drop?
Yasui is a Confucian scholar, focusing on the evidence, and has long been dissatisfied with the history of Mito Learning, but Fujita East Lake is indeed an alternative, East Lake is known for being straightforward and generous, and he is personable, and the orchid scholar Sakuma is like a mountain, although the remarks are different from everyone, but often the current affairs are inspired, and there are no celebrities here who do not like to spray people, so although the doctrine is different, but everyone is like-minded with each other, so he came forward to reconcile.
Speaking of which, this is also a big strange thing at the end of the shogunate.
The "History of the Great Fuso", the foundation of the Mito Doctrine, is really a nonsense and dare to write anything, and any folklore, strange theories, private notes, and personal speculations have been compiled in a grand manner, so the Mito Doctrine has no market among scholars, except for the Mito Domain, it is circulated among the lower-level samurai and wealthy farmers, and these people do not pay attention to any rationality, and it is enough to be cool - of course, many people use the "Emperor" of the Mito Doctrine as a banner, as for whether to study it deeply and believe it in their hearts is another matter.
Mito Buddhism belongs to the national school, which denies Confucianism, Buddhism and Orchidism, and admires Fuso's native harmony and Shinto, but because of the high personality charm of Fujita Higashiko and Toda Tadakei, these people actually had a very good relationship with many Confucian scholars and Lan scholars at that time, and had very close contacts, which was also a strange phenomenon at that time.
There are people in the Hereafter
I think that this may be because most scholars at that time criticized the shogunate, so they hated the same enemy and sympathized with each other - the governance of the Tokugawa shogunate was too strange, only the gate lord theory, basically according to the birth of the appointment and dismissal of military posts, this birth fell at the end of the line is too hateful, the head of the university of the official school Changhei Spring is hereditary of the Lin family, and the various positions of the shogunate are also distributed according to the family lineage, scholars, low-level samurai and wealthy farmers can not have opinions. So before the shogunate was completed, everyone agreed to "don't fight among themselves."
Anyway, after the owner Yasui came forward, everyone laughed, and this turmoil passed.
Okubo escaped death and quickly slipped aside, and after a while, Yoshida and Miyabe also came back in disgrace - both of them were newcomers, and no celebrities, including Fujita Higashiko, were willing to answer them.
Yoshida is an open person, and he feels that being snubbed is the reason for his lack of fame, but Miyabe Dingzang can't help it - he feels that Okubo has offended Fujita Higashiko, and he is here with Okubo, so he suffers from the hanging. Miyabe was a student of Kumamoto Domain, and he was familiar with Kokuology and Shinto, so he was more knowledgeable than Okubo.
If you really want to do it, one of the palace can beat Okubo three, but on paper, the ten palace can't catch up with Okubo, so this meeting is good-looking: Chinese culture and Shinto, Okubo has nine out of ten tricks - one clue, and the palace department doesn't know much about Lanxue, so the two have to talk about the art of war.
Fuso's art of war includes individual fighting and military strength, and individual fighting requires hands, and this is definitely not appropriate for a party, so the two talked about military strength. The Kumamoto Domain is the Nagasaki Imperial Domain, and the White Lord Shrine is the Northland Barrier - Naohide is self-proclaimed, although neither has fought any battles, but when it comes to it, both sides are the head of the road, and after a while, there was a circle of people listening to the debate between the two.
As a celebrity, of course, you have to pay attention to the situation, and the recent limelight is the "Shogunate" - the shogunate has promoted so many people and issued a "trial decree", so it is natural to find a reason, and I dare not say that the rice boat is coming, so I can only play the banner of the Shoi, saying that everything is to prevent the harassment of Western countries.
Since the limelight is in the limelight, naturally celebrities are concerned about this matter, and look at the foaming mouth of the Okubo and Miyabe air-to-air talk, but they can't tell the difference, so some people pounce on the two to talk about Odaiba - this is good, everyone has seen it on the spot, and there is a reference for whether it is right or wrong.
Odaiba now has a new trick, Shinagawa Odaiba is basically completed, and you can't change it if you want to, but isn't it still under construction on both sides of the Uraga waterway, after Mr. Tanan let go, the remaining eight coastal defense hangers all pounced, changing the original plan of Egawa beyond recognition.
Okubo is Egawa's "disciple", Fujita Higashi is Qi Zhao's henchman, the previous plan is Egawa's handwriting, and the current plan has Qi Zhao's praise, okay, this one who proposed to comment on Odaiba is not a big deal to see the excitement.
But eat a trench and grow a wisdom, Okubo has been on the market once today, so he refuses to enter the palace no matter what, but there must be an explanation, so he stretched out his hands to Miyabe Dingzang to see, what kind of hands is this, there are scars everywhere on the skin, and there are many calluses on the hands - the white master foundation is a start-up, and Naohide is on the field in person, so Okubo often practices it, especially in the first two years, the materials are not complete, so everyone has chilblains on their hands, and Okubo was born in warm Kagoshima and is not properly maintained, so his hands are scarred.
Miyabe's status in the Higo Hosokawa family is not high, just a few dozen stone of the art of war, but he has not made his hands like this after years of martial arts, but he wondered, what does this mean, show me your hand, and say that I want to compete on the spot?
"Okubo is dull and shallow, and although he does it on weekdays, he is actually just labor, and this debate is lost."
Okubo surrendered, and the excitement naturally couldn't stand it, so the onlookers dispersed in a hurry, but someone kindly persuaded Okubo when he left, "Those who are in power are open to speech, appoint virtuous people, and reconcile yin and yang." 'Calluses on the hands and feet, black faces, servitude to envoys, dare not ask desires', twice the work is half the result. ”
This person is persuading Okubo, "Don't do everything by yourself, isn't it good to work together." This is a good word, so Okubo had to thank him solemnly - but he didn't think so, you said lightly, how can things be so easy to do.
Originally, Okubo was quite worried about the future of the White Lord's Office, and there were not many people in the remote area, but Naohide treated him as a national soldier, obeyed his words and treated him well, so he could only try his best to help.
Therefore, this time he came to Edo on the official duty, Okubo had great expectations in his heart, and even wanted to transfer Naohide out of the northern land through contact - the shogunate has the hope of the world, and there must be many capable people, Edo is the head of the three capitals, and naturally Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. But after two months, he was a little disappointed, there were a lot of constraints within the shogunate, and the celebrities of the people were also suspected of empty talk, which was not as good as the white master, at least thriving, smiling, these can not be seen in Edo, the rice boat will be in the future, what will the world become?
