At the beginning of May, entering the middle of summer, the tie hand showed off in triumph and returned to Kyoto, tens of thousands of troops swaggered through the city, showing off their might, circling outside Luozhongluo, and the formation was endless. After the flocks of flags, cavalry, pikemen, archers, iron artillery, chariots, large cylinders, and other military branches were divided into categories, marching one by one, mighty and endless.

Kano Eitoku, Hasegawa and other uncles were invited to the scene and recorded this great occasion with their brushes.

All parties in Beijing and China warmly celebrated and welcomed them.

The Yamanko Yanjing, who strongly advocated for the imperial court to allow the tie to cut off the Lan luxury servant, was the time when the spring breeze was proud, and the development of the matter proved that his previous judgment was correct, the investment was accurate, and he won a good favor for the royal ministers. There was already talk in the court about letting him be promoted to "accept words from the two powers".

The left minister Kujo and filial piety, the minister of the interior, Ichijo Neiji, and the power of the great Nayan Xiyuan Temple Shichao, these three prominent young ministers with few high-ranking positions, put forward a small request-

It is hoped that financial support will be received to restore the old court festival etiquette, which has been suspended for many years, and hold three "heavenly trials" such as sumo wrestling, archery, and horse racing.

Depending on the size, it is estimated that it will cost between 2,000 and 10,000 yuan.

As for Tie Tsunohide, because he has the rank of "Left Guards Lieutenant General", he happens to be at the threshold and is qualified to replace His Majesty and serve as a referee in various competitions. This is an opportunity to be in the limelight.

It's not a lot of money.

And the circumvention of the shogunate is particularly subtle.

Hinote was very interested, and asked if it was possible to add other competitions such as swords, long handles, and even iron cannons - which made the ministers sweat profusely when they heard this, and quickly explained that today's sumo, archery, and horseback riding competitions, after years of evolution, have become more and more important in etiquette, and the elements of competition are becoming thinner, so it is not suitable to add content.

That makes sense.

He didn't have any special attachment to this, so he easily agreed.

According to sacred and ancient traditions, the festival was supposed to be held on the seventh day of the seventh month, and now in May, it is time to start preparing for it.

After reaching an agreement, Kujo Kanetaka conveyed the proposal of his biological father Nijo Harura (then Sekihaku) to let the three low-level ministers of Shirakawa, Gotsuji, and Nishikoji become vassals of the Hirate clan while retaining their original status, and become a bridge of communication as "two subordinates".

This is a welcome acceptance.

Tieshou Honshu couldn't help but praise Nijo Harara's "far-sightedness, the pillar of the country".

After receiving the minister, it was the monk's turn to come forward.

The Rinzai sect, the Pure Land Shinshu sect, and the Shingon sect have all maintained a harmonious relationship with the Heite family. Now, the monks of the Nichiren sect, the Hosho sect, and the Soto sect have also expressed their friendship.

Even Chezhi Dan tentatively inquired about missionary matters through the Nanban merchants. The Portuguese and Dutch, who did not understand the local conditions, used many strange titles of all kinds to raise their heads, such as "Vice King of Fuso", "Protector of the Land of the Sunrise", "Imperial Palace", "Marshal of the Guards", and so on.

It looks like it can't help but make people laugh, but it also shows the prestige and fairness that are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people from the side.

Foreigners do not have any messy historical baggage in their hearts, but are the most sensitive to the question of "who says it counts", and their evaluation is often more objective.

The most important event in the religious world is that the head of the Tiantai Suzerain, who had a close friendship with Konoe Maehisa and Takeda Shingen, and was haunted by the arson incident on Mt. Eei, Prince Jue Shu Ho, an old man, died without illness and unfortunately passed away.

The minds of the disciples began to come alive.

Some "dovish" monks, such as the Sanzenin Temple branch of Enryakuji Temple, Myowon, etc., indirectly came to the door, seeking a complete reconciliation and an opportunity to rebuild the mountain gate.

However, the temples of the Tendai sect outside of Kyoto, such as the Mizuma Temple in Settsu, which has the qualification of "Bege Honzan", are vaguely expressed in private that they are competing for the status of "Tendai Lord".

This becomes a card that can be played at a critical moment for the tie player.

The affairs of the temple and society are always a part of the civil affairs of Fuso, and there are too many things to pay attention to in various historical sources, so it is necessary to be cautious in handling them.

In contrast, it is more pleasant to deal with merchants.

Heite Honshu was the first to support the three major imperial merchants, "Tamgoshiya", "Harutaya", and "Sankaya", and laid a network along the Seto Inland Sea to promote the policies of "food stamps", "stamp duty", and "auctions". Later, he thought that the imperial merchants lacked a sense of distress and became increasingly inefficient, so they introduced Kaimachi merchants led by Tsuda Munekichi and Hasegawa Munehito to divide the profits.

Tsuda Muneki's sister and niece successively became the wife of the side room, and the younger one was born Lin'er, so the status and power have the momentum of coming forward, and in a few years, the influence is to sweep the countries, obtain countless privileges, and at the same time enshrine the military funds in the amount of 100,000 yuan, which strongly supported the wars.

Now the circle has expanded even further.

In the Hokuriku direction, the Michikawa family of Kawafunaya and the Nakajima family of HDB houses were appointed as officials in charge of Wakasa Bay and Toyama Bay because they were responsible for the sea transportation business during the Uesugi raid.

This is a decision that does not affect any vested interests.

In addition, after the wealthy merchants in Kyoto and Omi were implicated in Oda Nobunaga's rebellion, four new merchants gradually emerged.

They are the "Chaya" that is closely related to the Tokugawa family and is engaged in the clothing business, the "Yamagataya" who is proficient in civil engineering with Aoi Oda recently, the "Kakukuraya" who is recommended by Hosokawa Fujitaka, and the "Hashimotoya", a family of goldsmiths introduced by Yukinaga Konishi.

After these people paid the gifts, they were granted the concession of "allowing them to hold themselves, but not to transfer them in any form", which was equivalent to half of the status of royal merchants.

In disguise, it actually has a slight impact on the interests of the townspeople.

But because of this, he also got the friendship of the old royal merchants such as "Yuyue House", "Spring Field House" and "Sanlu House".

That's how interesting the situation is.

Heide gradually abandoned the method of co-signing with Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and began to issue various orders with his own seal, including the appointment and dismissal of acting officials, the security of the territory, the prohibition of temples, and the management rights of merchants.

It is particularly important that the remnants of the "Honnoji Three" who are required to be strictly investigated in various localities, especially the two first offenders, Shibata Katsuie and Kinoshita Hideyoshi, will not be neglected.

The two "guests" who "caught" back after half pushing and half got ingenious treatment.

Takigawa Kazuki was appointed as the "tea head" and specialized in managing the tea party, and had the opportunity to talk and laugh with Sen no Rikyu, Obayashi Sotao and others, and taste the tea. For him, a samurai who has always liked vassal elegance, it should be a very good job.

Takenaka Shigeji was appointed as a "strategist" to take on the "important tasks" of supernatural aspects such as yin and yang, stargazing, divination, and feng shui, and also popularized the knowledge of rituals and rituals. This is due to the fact that he has always been in poor health, and he has been specially arranged to work in an idle position that is conducive to his health.

Visitors are bustling, decrees are issued frequently, and the situation seems to have reached the point where passers-by are aware of it.

No one dares to talk nonsense about this kind of thing, but even if you think about it, you will subconsciously feel flustered and terrible.

In the face of some rumors, Hiratite Tohideto deliberately emphasized that although Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the general of Seiyi, was too sick to serve as a director, he had already given birth to a legitimate male heir, even if he was only three years old, his status was unquestionable. Even if there is any unfortunate accident in the future, the Muromachi shogunate will have a successor and will not allow others to snoop.

In this way, it seems that the number of Ashikaga gas still exists.

In what direction are people's hearts and luck developing?
