Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Minister of the Interior, the Elder Genji, and ......

The news of the surrender of the Maori family spread so quickly that the world was shaken.

It's a strange state of mind.

In advance, most people felt that Maori Huiyuan was absolutely inferior in the face of a tie, and most of them were going to be defeated, and who would think that they could win would be suspected of having a normal brain.

But when the dust really settles, there are still many people who will be full of emotion and even wail in pain.

Tieshou Fanxiu privately believes that this kind of luck for things that cannot be resisted is one of the inferior roots of human beings, and self-deception can always make the heart feel a little more comfortable, but facing the reality is very painful, and only a few hard-hearted heroes can overcome it.

But to put it another way, perseverance in the face of tragic circumstances seems to be a respectable quality, and unremitting efforts may occasionally achieve seemingly hopeless results, such as Yamanaka Yukimori, who repeatedly failed and finally miraculously revived the Niko family with the help of nobles.

The truth of the world can always be explained on both sides, what a tangling!

Fortunately, since the death of Go-Daigo, the "great tengu", the imperial court has always faced reality and kept its sanity for hundreds of years, and has no intention of pursuing dreams and fighting hard. Even if a few royal families or ministers suddenly want to do something, they will be immediately stopped by their colleagues.

On the way back from the western country, Heide Honshu had just walked from Harima to Settsu, and there were still four or five days to go from Kyoto, and there were already lower-level officials with a team of banners to come to the meeting, and there were many monks, merchants, scholars, craftsmen, and the like who accompanied him, apparently taking the opportunity to come to build relationships or ask for rewards.

Every day that followed, there were new "greeters", and the rank was getting higher and higher, from five attendants, to four senators, and then to three Zhongyan, but the number of people in the team gradually decreased. Because the scene is big, I don't dare to mix it with two brushes.

Finally, when they sat down to rest in the western suburbs of Kyoto, it was the turn of Ichijo Naiki, who was the minister of the interior at the time, to welcome him, and the members who participated included the senior monk of the Shingon sect, the senior monk of the Shingon sect, who was born in the imperial family and replaced Enryakuji Temple as the successor of the Tendai Throne, and Satomura Shoba, who was recognized as the first person in the world of Japanese songs.

In this formation, idlers and others are cheeky and haunted, which is tantamount to being bored.

Even those who have serious things to ask for, including Takeda Katsuyori and Tokugawa Ieyasu, have to be at the back.

A Neiji is very straightforward in words and deeds according to the standard of a minister, and after greeting him for less than a quarter of an hour, he got to the point, that is, he himself is about to be promoted to the left minister, and the vacant position of the minister of the interior has obvious meaning.

At the same time, in order to ensure that the official position matches the class, it is necessary to at least "follow the two positions". In fact, the ministers decided to give the "positive two" directly.

By the way, Yoshimitsu Hirate was transferred from "from the fifth to the middle affairs of the great minister" to "from the fifth to the main five, the criminal department of the junior assistant, and Omi Mamoru". This is in response to Fan Xiu's request, deliberately letting his son follow his own line, creating a sense of ritual in the inheritance process.

From "the three powerful ministers and the left guards generals" to the "two internal ministers and left guards generals" is a very critical process, and it is not a simple increase in officials and knights.

First of all, Quan Da Nayan and the Minister of the Interior belong to the ranks of "Taizheng Officials" and have the right to lead the imperial court, but the former is the head of the "Deputy Officials" and the latter is the last of the "Governors".

The legal order system learned the term "fourth-class official" from the Tang Dynasty, from top to bottom, they are the prefect, the deputy official (or the judge), the judge, and the presiding officer.

The prefect has the power to make decisions at his discretion, while the deputy governor has the power to assist in the ruling.

In these years, only symbolism remains, and the samurai and ordinary people everywhere don't care at all, but there is still a clear distinction in the hearts of the ministers.

More importantly, he surpassed Ashikaga Yoshiaki in all directions and became the only and highest-ranking samurai among the countries of Fuso, rather than a tie.

Coupled with last year's reshuffle, it can be said that the people of Kyoto have thoroughly recognized and accepted the arrival of a new era.

In the future, if Hirate Honhide and Ashikaga Yoshiaki met again, the position of the shogunate was that the former should pay tribute to the latter, but according to the imperial court system, the opposite was true, and the latter needed to pay tribute to the former. Although the title of "Seiyi Shogun" is actually hereditary, after all, it is only valid if the appointment is nominally accepted by the Imperial Decree, and when the rules of the shogunate and the rules of the imperial court are at odds, it is obvious that the imperial court should still be the main one.

This is a significant event.

On the other hand, according to traditional practice, the title of "Genji Elder" should be held by the highest official among all Genji descendants in the world, and is responsible for all kinds of work that has no purpose but is full of sacredness, such as worshipping ancestors, gathering clansmen, mediating disputes, and electing clans.

It is accompanied by the honorary positions of Chunhe and Scholarship. Due to the long history and poor preservation of historical materials, no one can accurately describe what this thing does, and there is a great deal of controversy in the academic community. For outsiders, it tastes better when eaten anyway.

Now that the official position of Hitetsu is in this position, it is recognized as a descendant of Nitta Yoshishige and a descendant of Masako Hachijing Genji. Although there are doubts about the records of five generations in the genealogy, it is generally believed to be "caused by turmoil during the war" and not "arbitrarily compiled by climbing dragons and phoenixes".

He claimed to be like this when he was a teenager and held the completed pedigree, not when he was too powerful to take out the emergency when he needed a name, and his credibility was stronger than that of Hou Hojo and Tokugawa.

Originally, this thing was supposed to be monopolized by the Ashikaga family like the "Seiyi Shogun", but because the Muromachi shogunate was too unstable, it was often driven out of Kyoto in embarrassment.

Although I am only responsible for the ceremonial work, the vacancies that have accumulated over the years are quite a headache, and there must be a fill! As a result, for nearly fifty years, this title fell on the head of the Kuga family, the minister from Genji.

It just so happened that not long after the death of the previous generation of "Genji Elders" Kuga Tongjian, his son Kuga Tongtun was very knowledgeable about current affairs and decisively said that he would not continue to do it, and asked the imperial court to "invite another master", which is not modest......

It doesn't matter if he's modest or not.

In short, the banner of "Genji Elder and Chunhe, Scholarship and Scholarship Academy" is about to be happily inserted in the head of the equal hand Honxiu.

It's all come to this, is the most critical "General Zhengyi" also a matter of course?

This is a difficult problem for an inner base.

After all, Ashikaga Yoshiaki was still alive, and he went to the Shimazu family to continue his activities, rather than being interned in some other worldly place. It would be a little embarrassing if the imperial court let someone else serve as a general now.

The ministers mean to control this guy first, or just ...... Then it's better.

Of course, Pingshou Fanxiu is not willing to carry a cauldron on his back for some reason, and considering from all aspects, he is not in a hurry to open now, but feels that there is nothing wrong with waiting.

He instead made two requests instead.

The first is that since it is inconvenient for the general to conquer for the time being, let's first ask a "general of the town guard" who has been abandoned for many years to make the transition.

The second is that as a descendant of the Nitta clan, I hope to rehabilitate the big hero of the clan, Nitta Yoshisada.

Then, Ichijo Neiki, who was about to be promoted to the left minister, his face turned green.

According to the first article, it should not be agreed. The position of "General of the Town Guard" is very reminiscent of unpleasant things due to some historical baggage, and it is very troublesome to move out.

But after listening to the second one, I felt that the first one was not a bird thing.

The act of rehabilitating Nitta Yoshisada can be ...... But it's terrifying.

This man died as a "loyal servant of the Southern Dynasty", and once rehabilitated, he had to be recognized—at least partially recognized as a legitimate member of the Southern Dynasty. It would amount to a denial – at least a partial denial of the legitimacy of the existing regime.

Rather than this, it is better to simply kick away Ashikaga Yoshiaki and give out the tablet of the general of Zhengyi!
