"No, no, I can't kick anymore." The uncle waved his hand and took the package containing the bonus of 3 yuan from a guy next to him.

"Young man, take your 500 wen." The uncle took out a small package from the package and handed it to Yu Qiuping. Yu Qiuping took the package, opened it, took out a string of 100 yuan from it, and handed it back to the uncle. "The registration fee will be returned to you first."

"Eh, you're out of sight." The uncle frowned dissatisfiedly, "Just now I said that I wouldn't charge you if you played well, but you also agreed." ”

"Uh..." Yu Qiuping thought about it for a while, and it seemed that there was indeed such a thing, "That's okay, do what you say." ”

"Young man, your defense is really good," at this time, several companions around the uncle praised Yu Qiuping while changing their clothes. "The most important thing is to be aware of the position, to be physically strong, and not to be greedy," the uncle added. "There were a couple of feints that didn't fool you, and you didn't force a tackle, which made your defense more solid."

"However, it is a little too conservative," the uncle touched his beardless chin, "sometimes you have to be a little more proactive." ”

"There's no way, it's an old problem," Yu Qiuping laughed, "I've been quite cowardly since I was a child, and I didn't dare to take risks." ”

"Without further ado, how about you have a meal to celebrate our victory." The uncle patted Yu Qiuping on the shoulder and led the group towards the center of Junfu City, "There's a ramen shop I like very much, and there is Mingguo noodles in it, you must like it." ”

In Japan at that time, the diet from the samurai daimyo to the common people was very simple. Often a bowl of millet porridge, a few pieces of pickled radish or pickled cucumber is the diet of ordinary farmers. The samurai also added fish and miso soup to their diet, as well as fresh vegetables, and the most enviable was the rice that only the samurai could afford. Since the Emperor of Japan had previously issued a ban on meat, meat such as pork and beef was considered unclean. So among the upper classes who can afford to consume meat, there is not much meat consumption. And the people in the lower classes naturally have no ability to eat meat. At this time, ramen is already considered a relatively luxurious enjoyment.

After walking to the noodle shop, Yu Qiuping found that his pendant was not hanging around his neck, and it was estimated that it had fallen on the venue. He hurried back to look for it, and finally found the autumn leaf pendant that had fallen into the soil next to the shelf where he had put his clothes. After carefully inspecting it and finding that there was no damage, Yu Qiuping wiped the dust off it with his hands and hung it back around his neck.

When Yu Qiuping returned to the ramen shop, his Suzhou noodles had already been served. The uncle and his companions did not move the chopsticks very carefully, but waited for Yu Qiuping to come back and eat together.

"I'm sorry, I've been waiting for a long time, why don't you eat it first, the noodles won't taste good when they're cold." Yu Qiuping moved away from his chair and sat down, nodding his head to several other people and apologizing.

"Haha, this is Suruga, one of the best places in Japan for etiquette." A middle-aged man sitting on Yu Qiuping's left hand side said, "How can there be a reason to move chopsticks before the guests arrive." ”

"Oh? Well, I'm a newcomer, and I don't know much about these rules. Yu Qiuping swallowed a mouthful of noodles and asked, "Is this how Suruga has been since ancient times?" ”

"That's not true, the customs of the sixty-six countries in the world are different. Generally speaking, the customs and manners of wealthy places are a little better," the middle-aged man continued, "Like the region, our Suruga in Tokaido, or the Zhoubo and Nagato of the Ouchi family, or the Echizen family of the Asakura family, the etiquette is very exquisite. ”

"But ah, our Suruga was originally considered the Kanto soil bun in the eyes of the people," the uncle took over, "It was only after the Imagawa family began to pay attention to etiquette and culture that it became what it is now." ”

"Having said that, what kind of existence is the Imagawa family," Yu Qiuping saw that this businessman uncle seemed to be well-informed, and wanted to take the opportunity to understand the background of the current era. "This Suruga is ruled by the Imagawa family, right?"

"Hmm... That's a long story," the uncle swallowed the food in his mouth, put the chopsticks on the plate, and introduced to Yu Qiuping: "The Imagawa family was originally a branch of the Ashikaga family, the current shogun of the shogunate, and the bloodline is noble. There is a saying that the heir of the imperial palace can be inherited, and the heir of Kira is Imagawa. Patriarch Imagawa Fan Kuni was awarded the guardianship of Suruga and Enoe for meritorious service, but it was later withdrawn for political reasons. When the shogunate and the Kanto region were opposed, the Imagawa family repeatedly stood firmly on the side of the shogunate and invaded the Kanto region as a vanguard, so it was deeply appreciated by the shogunate. The Imagawa family was also given the honor of 'Deputy General of Seiyi', and the surname Imagawa was also awarded the title of 'One Miao Zi in the World'. Seeing that Yu Qiuping seemed a little puzzling, the uncle explained, "The so-called 'Tianxia Yimiao character' means that except for the Imagawa family, its Shu clan is not allowed to use the surname of Imagawa." For example, the current head of Imagawa Jibu Yoshimoto," the uncle smiled slightly, "Before he inherits the position of family governor, he cannot use the surname Imagawa, but is called Meiyue Chengfang." ”

"In this way, there are only a few people in the world who can be called Imagawa! That's a real honor. Yu Qiuping couldn't help but sigh, "As long as you hear the word Imagawa, it must be the descendant of the Imagawa family." ”

"That's right," the uncle nodded, "The people who are called Imagawa now are the only ones besides the head of the family, and the children of the head of the house." When the eldest son succeeds to the throne of the family, his brothers change their surnames. For example, the former Toe Imagawa family changed their surname to Sena. ”

"Where did you just go? The Guardian of Enoe was confiscated, right," the uncle clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention, and continued, "Later, when the Onin War broke out, Lord Imagawa Yoshitada-sama tried to invade Enoe several times to restore his territory, but unfortunately he was ambushed and shrouded in horse. The heir of the Imagawa family, who later became the Imagawa clan, was still young, and was temporarily regent by Oga Fanmitsu. When he came of age, the Imagawa clan regained power in his family with the help of Hojo Sakumo-sama of the Hojo clan, and began to concentrate his efforts on conquering Toe. ”

In the fifth year of Eishō (1508), the shogunate once again granted the Imagawa family the official position of guardian of Enoe, and the Imagawa family naturally brought Suruga under their rule. In this strategy, the Asahina family and the Okabe family made outstanding achievements, and they were relied on by the former lord Imagawa clan as a retainer, becoming the two pillars of the Imagawa family. ”

"Then, the lord established the famous "Imagawa Kana Catalogue" and established the order in the territory with a detailed division of the country." The uncle saw that Yu Qiuping's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's wrong?" Looks excited. ”

"No, I just think this Imagawa clan is really powerful," Yu Qiuping said with a smile.

"Oh?" A smile crossed the corner of the uncle's mouth, "I said before that when he fought in the south and the north to pacify Yuanjiang, you didn't have any special admiration, why were you so excited after hearing the "Imagawa Kana Catalog"?" ”

"I think it's far less important to attack a city and a country than a detailed legal system," Yu Qiuping, a history student, was deeply touched by this, "Law is the cornerstone of a regime's stability." ”

"Go on." The uncle motioned for him to continue.

"I think the law is very important to society and to the country. Mencius said that there can be no square circle without rules," Yu Qiuping explained, "and the law can not only regulate the social order, but also limit the rights of the ruler while protecting the rights of the individual, so that they do not perverse the law." If everything in a country could have a uniform set of yardsticks called laws, injustice and privilege could be eliminated to the greatest extent. As the saying goes, we don't suffer from a small number but suffer from inequality, and this is the truth. As long as the law is well enforced, order in the country and society will be maintained. ”

"But yes, we Han people have always paid not enough attention to the law," Yu Qiuping frowned, tapping the edge of the bowl with his chopsticks, "Our history books always praise the rule of man rather than the rule of law." We sing the praises of virtuous kings like the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors, and praise the famous ministers who are noble and bright, but we do not pay attention to a set of laws that can truly benefit future generations. The king's export into the constitution is above the law, and the introduction of rites into the law often mixes the Confucian ethics into the law, and the status of the law is not taken seriously. Yu Qiuping sighed, "It is difficult for the country to have long-term stability, the prosperity and decline are all dependent on the ruler, and the virtuous monarch is naturally good and good, once the ruling class is mediocre and incompetent, the entire dynasty will fall into crisis." ”

"Therefore, the Central Plains has a catastrophe for 300 years, and the cycle of chaos is precisely because there is no set of immutable and immutable just laws to maintain social stability." Yu Qiuping let out a sigh, "That's why I attach so much importance to the law." This Imagawa clan must have also realized the importance of the law, so he admired him very much. ”

"That's a good point." "Good boy, knowledgeable." Several companions around shouted hello, which made Yu Qiuping embarrassed for a while.

"How old are you?" the uncle asked suddenly.

"Seventeen." Yu Qiuping reported his false age.

A different color flashed in the uncle's eyes, "Yuqiu, you are very insightful, it is really not easy for you to have such a deep understanding at your age, it is really from the Ming Kingdom, it is extraordinary." ”

"The cycle of chaos, the cycle of chaos," the uncle turned his head and did not look at Yu Qiuping again, but muttered a few words about the cycle of chaos. After being stunned for a while, and realizing that it seemed to be a little cold, he chuckled and continued, "Then let's continue to talk about the Imagawa family." A hundred years after the Imagawa clan, the Imagawa family experienced several changes of family governors, and finally Imagawa Jibe Yoshimoto succeeded the family governor. Not only did he consolidate his power internally, but he also formed a Triple Alliance with Sagami-Hojo in the east and Kai Takeda in the northeast, and took control of all of Mikawa by controlling the Matsudaira clan, a wealthy Mikawa clan, and further invaded southeastern Owari and began a war with the Oda family. The uncle paused slightly when he said this, as if he was thinking about something.
