Out of Edo Castle, Naohide let out a sigh of relief. Logically speaking, the canonization of the flag is a major event, and the performer should first teach the martial arts etiquette to the people who are going to be promoted, and if you pay more attention to it, it is the "Gao family" who comes forward to conduct etiquette training.

The Gao family is a kind of flag. For various reasons, some daimyo lost their territories, and in order to buy people's hearts, the shogunate canonized the descendants of the "famous families" with a long history and "noble bloodline" as the "Gao family", and was in charge of the shogunate's ceremonies and ceremonies. The Gao family's fortune is generally not high, and the stone height is generally only 500 to 3,000 stones, but the status is very high, which is related to the Gao family's right to master etiquette.

The three core of Confucianism are "etiquette", "virtue rule", and "benevolence", and the ritual system includes rituals, and "faux pas" was a major event in the Edo period, and in the early days of the shogunate, there were even daimyo who were confiscated because of "rudeness" and "expelled from the country", and as for samurai, there were many unlucky ghosts who were forced to apologize for their seppuku because of "rudeness".

The "Ako Forty-Seven Righteous Warriors" in the three major revenge events of Fuso was caused by the fact that Asano Nagaju, the daimyo of the Ako Domain, was pitted by Takajia Kira Uenosuke: Kira did not teach Asano etiquette, which led to the rudeness of the Daimyo Asano when receiving the imperial envoy, and as a result, Asano drew a knife and slashed Takaya Kira in shame, and because of the "rudeness" of the murder in the main hall, Asano was ordered by the shogunate to apologize and confiscate the territory, and the Ako Domain was removed. After that, there was an incident in which forty-seven righteous men took revenge and killed the entire family of the Gao family, Kira, and Uenosuke.

Where did Naohide know what etiquette, and the shogunate didn't send anyone to teach him, if it wasn't for the "Zhixing Form" in his hand and successfully leaving Edo Castle, he would have suspected that someone was deliberately framing him.

There must be a story in this, and it is estimated that the answer can only be found in Oguri Tadashun. In addition, Oguri is only a general's personal guard, how can he issue the will, he is not qualified enough, is he promoted? I don't understand, I don't understand, I don't understand.

The identity of the flag book is not ordinary.

The samurai directly under the shogunate had only two identities in a broad sense, the flag and the royal family, which can be simply compared to the establishment staff and contract workers, and the flag is the one with a formal establishment.

The privileges of the samurai were Miao characters with swords, "slashing the imperial exemption" and exemption from excesses and miscellaneous taxes and conscription—of course, military service was a sure thing.

Flagbooks, which are more advanced than the status of the imperial family, have exclusive privileges mainly focused on two points: the hereditary status granted by the Zhixing certificate and the right to "Gomei" - Gomemi means that the flag can apply to meet the shogun in person, or write a letter to the honorable shogun, to make it clear, the flag is the shogun's direct subordinate, and theoretically from a political point of view, the identity of the flag and the daimyo is the same.

But in fact, only high-level banners can be treated in the same way as daimyos, and middle- and lower-level banners, especially those below 200 stones, are more of a status glory and political privileges, and do not have the right to directly visit the general. In fact, in the middle and late Tokugawa shogunate, only flags of more than 500 koku were eligible to pay homage to the shogun, and these banners also had an unofficial title called "Naosen".

The royal family genealogy is generally about 200 stones, which is higher than the 30-stone flag book of Naoxiu and the 41-stone flag book of Shenghaizhou, so where is the privilege of the flag book?

In addition to the difference between the establishment and the contract worker, simply put, the flag is an official, and the imperial family is an official, and many positions in the shogunate position "service" can only be held by the flag book, or the flag can be the chief official.

In the future 1860, during the shogunate's first overseas diplomatic activity after the closure of the country, "Hamin Maru's visit to the United States", Katsu Kaishu and Saburo Nakajima, the genealogy of the Imperial Family, helped in a dispute - it is said that it was the head of the crew (captain) of the Shogunate that competed for the Hamin Maru, and Katsu Kaishu won easily, which fully reflects the crushing of the status of the Imperial Family.

When the Tokugawa shogunate was established, it was known as "80,000 Banners swept the world", and the traditional bluff of Fuso, according to a later shogunate document, in 1722 there were about 5,000 people in the banner, and about 17,000 people in the high-ranking imperial family, the imperial family genealogy, controlled more than ten times the low-level imperial family members who worked for the shogunate.

At the end of the Edo period, it is said that the shogunate at that time had about 13,000 flagbooks and more than 70,000 imperial family members.

It's the first year of Honghua (1844), and it is estimated that the number of flag books is about seven or eight thousand - the Edo period has been peaceful for a long time, and after 1722, the big body flag and others have found a flag position for the second son, third son, and youngest son, who dares to fart? In fact, a considerable part of the economic pressure of the shogunate in the late Edo period came from the increase in the number of samurai due to the expansion of numbers, which is very similar to the phenomenon of "redundant soldiers", "redundant officials", and "redundant government" in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Naohide doesn't care about the future of the shogunate now, and the Hori family has become a flag book, which will be beneficial to Naohide's future development. Although Naohide can't kick his feet horizontally and vertically in Edo, but on general occasions, Naohide is also a character, at least the next time he goes to Tosa Kochi to see Yoshida Toyo, if this stupid bird doesn't greet him under the porch and dares to sit in the living room, etc., Naohide will dare to spray him in the face - considering Yoshida's violent temper, it's okay to spray his face in person, but Naohide ran to Kochi Castle to complain, and the daimyo Yamauchi Toyoshi had to ask Yoshida to apologize to Naohide in person.

Naohide hummed a small tune and returned to Shinjuku-cho with something, and the two students were waiting for news in Horiya Yashiki. Naohide was called to Edo Castle, because I don't know the reason, the Takemae family and the Nakamura family are worried, Takemae Taro is Naohide's uncle, Nakamura Shonichi Naohide's father-in-law (father-in-law), Toranosuke and Gakujiro are official students who have visited the teacher, Naohide does something and can't run away from both of them - of course, both of them are just worried but not too afraid, because Naohide is usually not a person who provokes right and wrong, and I really am not that kind of person.

The two students saw that Naoxiu came back humming a small tune, no longer the unlucky appearance of the frozen noodles two days ago, judging that it might be a good thing to be fine, the two of them hurriedly stepped forward to help Naohide get something. After taking off the clogs and entering the house, Gakujiro poured tea, Toranosuke pulled the brazier, and Naohide saw the pitiful look of the two students, so he slowly took a sip of tea.

"Bang bell~", with a cold wind, Yingzi rushed in, "How, how's it?" ”

This time Zhixiu is honest, Yingzi is the future wife who received the marriage letter and the bride price "acceptance", for the sake of safety, she must explain honestly, and Yingzi seems to be very anxious, so it's better not to take the initiative to die.

"It's a good thing, it's a good thing, except for the knot (marriage), it's better than anything else", Yingzi's hand was cold, and Naohide hurriedly changed his hands and clenched it.

Yingzi blushed first, and then glanced at Naoxiu, who looked at Dale.

"Cough cough cough", Yingzi withdrew his hand, the two students who had no eyesight to see on the side were too much of an eyesore, and the atmosphere was very conservative these days, and the cheering and pulling hands could only be done in private.

Naohide hurriedly drove the two students away, asked them to invite their respective fathers to discuss the matter, and asked Toranosuke to take Katsugoro and Hayato to Takemae's house first to stay for two days.

After everyone is gone, Naoxiu continues to play the role of a warm baby. During this period, Yingzi asked Naoxiu what good things had happened, "In short, we must tie it up as soon as possible", and Naoxiu deviated from the topic in a few words.

Nakamura Shoichi arrived quickly, and the small warehouse he was in had already been on holiday; Taro Takemae is in the Oban group in charge of guarding, and the more festivals become, the busier it becomes, so only Nakamura is here for the time being. Naohide sent two students home to help, accompanied Nakamura to drink tea and chat, and Eiko went home to bring Naohide the lunch that had been prepared earlier.

Nakamura heard Gakujiro say that Naohide came back with a saber and new clothes, and his mood stabilized, and it was estimated that Naohide had done something good and was rewarded. But Naohide has been studying everywhere for the past two years, and I don't know what the award is for, Naohide doesn't say, Nakamura is usually proud of his cultivation, and it is inconvenient to ask in order to maintain the image of a master, so the two began to chat.

Uncle Taro Takemae couldn't rest assured, so he asked for leave in the afternoon and ran back early, and when he entered the house, Nakamura and Naohide were elated, drinking wine and eating side dishes, relieved, scolded and asked Yingzi to hurry up and serve the wine.

When Yingzi was done, Naoxiu invited her to sit down, and then she said the matter completely, during which she naturally omitted her various ugliness.

Yesterday, Naohide froze for a day, and when he came back, he shivered and only said that Abe Isemoru gave him a fan, and it was a very glorious thing for the old man to give a fan, but this year is special, the upper echelons of the shogunate are in turmoil, and Takemae and Nakamura are afraid that Naohide will be involved - there are not too many things that will happen to the gods fighting and the little ghosts.

Rumors say that Abe Isemoru and the chief elder Mizuno have a conflict, and the two are at odds with each other: Mizuno Shikibe Shosuke was dismissed last year, and it is said that when the official was reinstated this year, Abe Isemori made it clear that he was against it - there were too many Edo samurai, and rumors about the upper echelons were endless, and rumors were a major feature of Edo Ichijing.

And this year, the two adults of the old Naka Doi and the Edo Minami-cho Torii have been dismissed.,It's said to be the result of Mizuno-sama's efforts.,At this point in time,It's good to be honest with your little arms and legs.,Don't jump out and jump.。

Hearing that Naoxiu had become a flag book, Uncle Takemae laughed loudly, laughed and laughed and actually cried, "I really want my hard-working sister and brother-in-law to see it with their own eyes"; Father-in-law Nakamura was silent, Yingzi hurried to his ear and muttered a few words, he also began to smile, and then finally began to pat his thigh and laugh, the son-in-law became a flag book, and the puppy looked at the stars, and he never dreamed of it.

Uncle Takemae accompanied Naoxiu to incense his parents and ancestors, and offered the long knife of the reward, and the three heads of the family began to look at the Zhixing form over and over again, and finally Yingzi persuaded him, "Zhixingzhi is too precious and should be put away", and the three of them gave up.

"Zhixiu can have today, it is all the help of relatives and friends", and when everyone's excited emotions slowly calmed down, Zhixiu solemnly saluted everyone present, even Yingzi did not let go, everyone hurriedly returned the salute, the gift of the old man Qiben is rare.

"The future is on hold for the time being, and there are currently several major things that need the help of the two uncles", Naoxiu is still quite vigilant about the improvement of his family's personality, and it will be a disaster if he doesn't handle it well.

Naohide thinks the main things at the moment are:

The first is to quickly figure out how this flag came about, and who to thank - the Thanksgiving Chart is the vision, at least express gratitude first, so as not to turn good feelings into bad feelings, help to become resistance, and car accidents on the spot.

The second is that the New Year is coming soon, and the first month is the time to visit the castle, and after the New Year, I will definitely enter Edo Castle again, and participate in such a major event as the samurai landing for the first time.

The third is that Zhixiu has become a flag book, what should I do with Fenggong (work) in the future? Who is the new boss? Speaking of which, Naohide complained, this shogunate is the same as a big company in the previous life, and it is extremely unfriendly to new employees, and the people above think you should know what to do, MMP, I'm a new employee, how do I know what to do? Won't you ask? Whoever you ask, always tell me who to ask first.

Fourth, the identity has changed, and how to deal with the relationship with former relatives and friends. Zhixiu has met a lot of people in recent years, as a new flag, it is better to be cautious, "if it is near, it is not inferior, and if it is far away, it is difficult to find people, and it is rare to see people who can see others' good, and the wind evaluation is very important, and the IQ can not be under East Asian culture, and the EQ must be full, otherwise you will run into a wall everywhere and be troubled in vain.

Takemae and Nakamura listened to it and felt that Naohide was really young and old, and the prosperity of the Hori family was just around the corner; Yingzi listened to the colorful eyes, and felt that she was really right, she had a good vision and good means, this husband was looking for a good job, Yingzi croaked.

After discussing for a long time, "the misfortune and blessing are relied on, and the blessing and misfortune are lurking", the three agreed that they need to be cautious, listed a number of entries, prepared a few, and planned a few, in fact, it is to block the news first and then quickly inquire about the news, and the gift should be given as soon as possible.

Today is the 22nd day of the wax month, and before I saw Mr. Egawa Tanan and Oguri Tadashunden, I moved more and made more mistakes, moved less and made fewer mistakes, and it was not bad to move, and after unifying my thoughts, I was only going to secretly inform the other two people of the four masters of Zaoya to the neighbors, relatives and friends, and keep it a secret from the others.

Zhixiu took the initiative to add another one, and after the first month of Yingziyuan, he hurried to "tie the knot" (get married), and the ceremony was simple to handle, so as not to have too many dreams at night. Yingzi was greatly moved when she heard it, "Sure enough, I have a good vision"; Nakamura Masakashi said, "Reading is really useful, I read poetry and books to see people accurately,"; Taro Takemae thought to himself, "It's good to find someone who knows how to follow your feet, a new family, and it's safe."

The overall situation has been decided, and everyone goes back to their own homes, leaving only Yingzi to help Naoxiu clean up the mess.
