Chapter 44: The Rank of the Ancestors

Yoshimitsu Hirate, who had the first opportunity to perform, was very active in "escorting" Ashikaga Yoshiaki to Kyoto.

Along the way, this young second-generation person behaved very decently, coping with ease, neither humble nor arrogant, humble and polite, and thoughtful - no matter how much it was true, everyone said so anyway.

On the other hand, the dignified general Ashikaga Yoshiaki, his words and deeds are extremely embarrassing, and it is difficult to explain in words.

The two are in stark contrast.

From Hanoi to Kyoto, the brigade of men and horses was mighty, like a swarm of ants, hesitated, and traveled for three or four days, but it had not yet arrived.

At this time, unexpectedly, he received an envoy from the imperial court, expressing his welcome to the shogunate's return to "Guiraku", and said, "When I heard that Oda Bomb was killed in battle, Kinai was greatly frightened, but fortunately, there was a righteous warrior from Noshu, Takenaka, to re-govern and protect the territory and the people." Presumably it must have been Ashikaga Nakayan, or the Hirate Punishment Department sent him, right? It's so reassuring. ”

Hirate Yoshimitsu was greatly surprised by this, and hurriedly quickened his pace and rushed to Kyoto, only to see Shigeharu Takenaka waiting with Yamashina Yanjing outside the western suburbs to greet him.

Yamashina may have really not known what was happening on the front line, and really thought that Takenaka Shigeharu came after receiving the order of a tie after "setting things right", and praised again and again that there were many thieves and people were panicked in the past few days, thanks to this person who came quickly and guarded the palace gate and the mansion of high-ranking officials, preventing the occurrence of vicious incidents.

Yoshimitsu Hirate is young after all, and he doesn't know how to react immediately.

First, the incident happened suddenly, secondly, the vigilance has long been lost in the surrounding touting in the past few days, and thirdly, he had a master-apprentice relationship with that person, and he didn't want to make it ugly...... In short, I was stunned.

Takenaka recuperated his sick body, and stood respectfully to the side to greet him, flawless.

It happened that Ashikaga Yoshiaki didn't know if he was really confused or fake, so he ran out with a big belly and said: "Although Takechuden has had some contact with the Oda Rebellion, it is not deeply involved, and it still belongs to loyal ministers!" ”

Yoshimitsu Hirate suddenly became quite passive,

However, he was also in a hurry, and hurriedly put on a smiling expression and said softly: "My father once said that even if the Oda party has thousands of mistakes, the merits of helping the shogunate in the past are indelible, please rest assured." ”

In this way, because the tie did not lead the team in person, and the second generation was inexperienced, he didn't think about it well enough, so he was taken advantage of this opportunity by Shigeharu Takenaka to show the role of turning his merits into crimes. Although he only helped the royal family and the secretary of state guard the gate for a few days, in this special period, it was very conspicuous and gained a lot of goodwill.

The army continued to enter the city, met with the ministers of the high family, contacted powerful people in religious and cultural circles, issued various prohibitions, and declared a state of peace in Kyoto.

Then, according to the old practice of Ouchi Yoshiko, Miyoshi Chokei and others, after receiving a donation, the imperial court immediately honored the treatment that had been promised in the past, but was delayed because of the Oda rebellion.

It can even be said that it is not cashed out in full, but overcashed.

Yoshimitsu, the son-in-law of the Pingshou family, was awarded the title of "From the fifth position, the great minister of central affairs" was awarded the title of "from the fifth position, the great minister of central affairs".

The pen is a public, and the tie Xiuyi with great achievements is allowed to follow the five, and the Yamato Shou.

This is tantamount to acquiescing in its possession of the Yamato One Kingdom, not just the western half of the country that was snatched from Matsunaga. The head snake Tsutsui Shunkei, as a wing of Oda, is located in the defeated army sequence, and there is no right to question this.

Conscientious and loyal to the old minister Kawada Changqin, who has been loyal for fifteen years, is appointed to the sixth position, and Awaji is guarded.

Although Awaji is a small island country, it is the area where the Hirate family currently lives, so it is clear that Kawada Naga has a high degree of trust from the central government, and this is also compensation for his dismissal as "acting official of Shikoku".

One of the former "three good threes", Iwanari Tomoto, Ren Zheng is on the sixth, and Hanoi is suke.

It is also an indication of the possession of a country in Hanoi. The post of Kawachi Shou has not been established for many years due to historical reasons, so he chose Kawachi Suke. Of course, the general, who tried to digest North Hanoi as his direct subordinate, would have opinions, but he was not in good shape and had no time to take care of it.

The three retainers represent the faction of the relatives, the original faction, and the faction of the generals, all of whom have received the honor of official positions, fully demonstrating the special status of the Pingshou family.

As for the head of the house himself......

Yamashina Yanjing took the initiative to say: "The imperial court will grant the Lord of the Criminal Department from the four positions, as well as the corresponding official titles. ”

After listening, it was inconvenient for Yoshimitsu Hirate himself to speak. Because his wife, Miss Saori of Honganji, worshiped the other party as his father-in-law, so the other party is the elder.

Instead, he sent Hu Zai Zongyi as an envoy and said: "The Lord of the Criminal Department has made great achievements this time, and he should be promoted to the Senate." ”

Although the so-called Senate is also an official rank that can be held from four positions, its actual status is tied with three or more high-ranking ministers, and it is an honor that is extremely difficult for ordinary samurai to approach.

Yamashina Yanjing expressed his embarrassment and replied: "Generally speaking, only those who have served as Tibetan heads for a long time, left and right Daiben or Shibu Daisuke, and those with more seniority, will be transferred to the Senate, and the Lord of the Criminal Department does not have to be too careless now." ”

Seeing this, Hu Zai Zongyi immediately picked up the topic and said, "Then how about letting the Lord of the Criminal Department take the role of Daisuke of the Shibu Department first?" ”

Although Yamashina Yanjing was respectful, he still cautiously refused: "Shikibu Daisuke is already in office, and it will take a certain amount of effort to transfer, and I am afraid that it will be ...... in a short time."

Then Hu Zai Zongyi seemed to have made a great concession before he said with a cold face: "That's it." Genkoin, the ancestor of the criminal department, has served as a lieutenant general of the left guard, the governor of the left guard, and the left guard sa, so this time, please ask the imperial court to choose a suitable official position from the Konoe Mansion, the Emon Mansion, and the Bing Guard Mansion. ”

Yamashina Yanjing felt that there was nothing wrong with this, and readily agreed.

But when he looked back, he realized that something was wrong.

When I said "Genkoin, the ancestor of the criminal department", I didn't think carefully about who I was talking about. When I got home, I pondered for a long time before I reacted, and it was Nitta Yoshisada who was talking about!

Hundreds of years ago, this person once overthrew the Kamakura shogunate with the ancestor of the Ashikaga clan, Ashikaga Son, and later broke up and competed with him for the position of "pillar of the samurai". It can be said that this person is the number one opponent of the Muromachi shogunate, and has always been labeled as a "Korean enemy" and a "traitor".

Hirate Hoshu used to claim to be a descendant of the Nitta clan, but he didn't deliberately publicize it on a large scale, so it didn't matter. But now blatantly asking for the official position that Nitta Yoshisada once held, what does this mean?

Don't dare to think, don't dare to think.

……

It will take a while to study and decide on the prize of the Tie family, so the others will have to wait. It can't be said that the general has not been sealed, and the soldiers will be rewarded first, right?

During this period, Hosokawa Fujitaka was the leader, and Haritada Odate, Kiyonobu Ueno and others replaced Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who was increasingly unable to govern, and rebuilt the shogunate framework.

Due to the loss of a large number of members in the turmoil, the organizers of the new shogunate unanimously agreed on the intention of "recruiting talents", and as for what kind of people were considered talents, everyone agreed that it was best for the people of the Pingshou Punishment Department, who were highly respected and respectful, to decide.

Then, the rewards and punishments of Tokugawa, Chosamune, Araki, as well as Takenaka, Oda, Kuroda and others are also waiting for his old man to decide.

As the heir of the lineage, Yoshimitsu Hirate only used some vague words to deal with all the people who came to him, indicating that he had no decision-making power.

The news of the victory of the Western Army spread, and the figures on all sides also moved.

Except for Asai Nagamasa, who has been pretending to be dead and silent since fleeing back in embarrassment.

First of all, Echizen, who reacted the fastest, Asakura Keiken, who supported the Western Army, instantly gained momentum, and Asakura Keikagami, who supported the Eastern Army, was in chaos without a fight. The former sent people to Kyoto in the hope of recognition of his status, while the latter fled into the mountains and forests without a trace.

On the Ise side, Kitabatake Gukyo, who was suppressed by Oda, finally saw the opportunity to raise his eyebrows, and personally came to Beijing to congratulate the Heite family, obviously with some expectations.

Due to the lack of information due to transportation, the news was not very sensitive, so it took a few days for an envoy to be dispatched, focusing on the determination to "eradicate the traitor Asai Nagamasa".

A large number of merchants and monks in the Gyeonggi region, who had helped Nobunaga, feared being implicated, and either came to sue for peace with gifts or absconded to remote areas.

As for Takeda, Uesugi, Hojo, Otomo, Shimazu, etc., it was just that I heard that Kyoto had changed people again, and sent someone over to greet them politely. They can't reach the whip and can't influence the center.

At the center of the world's attention, Hirate Honhide stayed on the battlefield for a long time, ignoring what was going on outside the window, and was bent on finding Nobunaga's body.

It took ten days of hard work, and finally through various clues, the results of half a day of screening in the filthy bone pile, but what was found was a headless corpse, and I could only barely speculate from the details that it was very likely to belong to the general of the Eastern Army.

It is suspected that Shibata, Kinoshita, Akechi and others took Nobunaga's head away and hid it.

Heite immediately announced to the world that whoever could bring back Oda's head so that it could rest in peace, all sins could be forgiven. The innocent will be rewarded with 1,000 koku, and if he is a samurai, he will be rewarded with 500 koku.

It is hoped that in this way, the three fugitives will be reined in and voluntarily surrendered. Or tempting their minions to turn against the water, and attracting villagers to actively engage in "warrior hunting".

At the same time, the headless corpse existed in the cellar of Dao Minh Temple in Hanoi and was temporarily sealed.

Heide Honsu personally supervised the matter and ordered that notices be posted in all streets and temples in Gyeonggi so that passers-by could clearly see the news.

Then he traveled from Hanoi to Kyoto in the eyes of everyone's expectation, and presided over the overall situation.

What arrangements will the imperial court have, how will the shogunate react, whether the meritorious princes will be rewarded satisfactorily, how will the criminal ministers be dealt with, and should those who abscond and resist immediately pursue...... It's all up to someone to decide.

After all, Yoshimitsu Hirate only went to Kyoto in advance to mix qualifications, and no one expected him to take the lead now.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki's opinion was also important. But he seems to have a bit of a problem with his spirit, and only today he said that "only by killing all Oda can I solve the hatred in my heart", and tomorrow he will say "let them make meritorious contributions to crusade against other chaotic parties", and even sometimes he even said, "I understand, everything is a plot of ties!" "That's nonsense.

Especially in the last sentence, Hosokawa Fujitaka, Odate Harutada, Ueno Kiyonobu and others agreed that the shogun was crazy to say so.
