Chapter 880: It's Money, It's Corrupting Me!
As one of the famous ministers of the Warring States Period, Konoe Qianjiu has been running for the imperial court all his life, and he has been working with Kikutei Qingji and others to ask the court for money and food before the major names, and he is naturally eloquent.
So,Although it's just a few words, I've already convinced Soji Tsukawa.。
"Since the waka party is going to be held, it can't be too casual! If it is allowed by the Inner Palace, please borrow the residence of the Inner Palace. How about taking out 1,000 yuan to hold a waka party that lasts for half a month? Soji Tsugawa was silent for a moment, and then suddenly spoke.
And Tsugawa Soji's words directly made a group of Konoe Maehisa almost burst into laughter!
It's the first time Konoe has seen someone who took the initiative to put his head over and let him slaughter, although the word slaughter is not very appropriate, but for a while I can't think of other words to replace it.
The so-called holding of the Waka Party naturally has the selfishness of Konoe for a long time.
Konoe was proficient in the way of waka and renga, and he always wanted to hold a large-scale waka party, but because it required a huge amount of money, Konoe was reluctant to do so. Now that Tsugawa Soji is sent to the door, if Konoe didn't know what to do for a long time, he would be in vain as the "Minister of the Interior".
If a waka party is held in the Konoe family, it will naturally be held in the name of Konoe Maehisa, which will undoubtedly give the Konoe family a wave of prestige, and more importantly, show the financial resources of the Konoe family to the ministers of Kyoto, so that everyone knows that even if there is no "support" of the family, the Konoe family is still mixing well.
Of course, although Konoe Maejiu profited from it, there was also a part of the purpose that was really for the good of the Tsugawa family.
Holding a waka party allowed Tsugawa Soji to come into contact with Kyoto's circle of ministers, which was something that some rural daimyo could wake up with a smile in their dreams. Don't look at the Tsugawa family, who are now hundreds of thousands tall and dominate Okuha, but in the eyes of others, especially this group of Kyoto ministers, they are still dirt buns and hillbillies.
If it weren't for the money, maybe others wouldn't want to deal with Tsugawa Soji. Take the previous head of Saionji Temple, he didn't plan to take the Tsukawa family in his eyes at all, just wandering around to make soy sauce. As a result, he was treated so courteously at the Tsugawa family, and Tsugawa Soji also showed the Tsukawa family's financial resources to the Saionji Chief, and also proved to the Saionji Patriarch that the Tsukawa family was not a stingy person!
In this way, the current Minister of Internal Affairs, Konoe Maehisa warmly received.
Of course, the letters of Ashikaga Yoshiharu and Asakura Takakei also played a partly role, and for Ashikaga Yoshiharu and Asakura Takakei, Konoe still had to sell face for a long time.
First of all, Ashikaga Yoshiharu's wife is the daughter of Konoe Naotsu, and she was also given a title of heir when Konoe was 4 years old. Then, the current general Ashikaga Yoshito has already made a marriage contract with Konoe Maehisa's sister, and now Ashikaga Yoshito has been subdued and succeeded to the throne of the general of Zhengyi, and it is believed that it will not be long before a marriage will be formed. Ashikaga Yoshiharu is equivalent to Konoe's ebony hat pro + uncle.
And Asakura Takakei is deeply loved by these ministers in Kyoto because of his own cultural literacy. Coupled with the cultural prosperity of Ichijo Valley Castle, many Kyoto ministers have visited the territory of the Asakura family, and they naturally have a very good impression of the Asakura family.
Then, Konoe Maehisa's other sister has also entered into a marriage contract with Asakura Takakei's son Asakura Yoshikei, and it is another strong in-law relationship.
Both in-laws wrote at the same time to ask Konoe to take care of Tsugawa Soji, of course Konoe Maehisa would not refuse, not to mention that people like Tsukawa Soji can just let Konoe Maehisa cultivate as a long-term "meal ticket" for the Konoe family! ”
"Dare to ask if the Tsugawa family is short of money?" Although he was very satisfied with Tsugawa Soji's attitude, Konoe continued to ask.
Soji Tsugawa shook his head, and a sense of pride suddenly jumped on his face, "The family lacks everything now, but it just doesn't lack money!" ”
"In that case, then I'll be blunt!" Konoe was also infected by the local tyrant atmosphere of Tsugawa Soji for a long time, and said with a straight face, "Since Dewa, you want to hold a huge waka party, so why don't you do it endlessly?" ”
"Although 1,000 yuan is enough to hold a waka meeting that lasts for half a month, its quality is just ordinary, and it can't make the participating ministers feel the beauty of Dewa! And if you are willing to take out 3,000 kan, I can guarantee that an unprecedented waka party will be held here, but the ministers attending the meeting should all be grateful for the kindness of the Tsugawa family! ”
"At that time, the name of the Tsugawa family will naturally be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it can be said that it can be counted in one fell swoop!" Konoe did not say what the other "got" was, and Konoe also believed that Soharu Tsugawa would understand.
Sure enough, Tsugawa Soji also nodded after listening to Konoe Maehisa's words, and then said with determination, "Since this is the case, then listen to the words of the Inner Palace!" Today, I will let the retainers give the three thousand guan in full, and everything after that will depend on the inner palace! ”
Soji Tsugawa is not a fool, so he naturally knows that Konoe Maehisa just wants to use the Tsugawa family's money to give Konoe Maehisa some face or something. But since it has been decided that Shangluo is here to spend money this time, let's spend it all at once!
MMP tens of thousands of stones have been sent out, and it's not bad for these three thousand! Besides, what Konoe said a long time ago also makes sense, if you want to hold the largest waka party, maybe there will be a big name of the Tsugawa family in history in the future!
At the same time, Soji Tsugawa also has an intuitive understanding of the erosive lives of the ministers! I rubbed it, I originally thought that 1000 was enough, but it turned out to be just an ordinary product! According to this calculation, usually these ministers hold a banquet casually, which is also the cost of hundreds of times, and it is really difficult for these poor ministers to be for them!
......
That night, Tsugawa Soji asked Yajima Tadabei and others to send 3,000 kan money to Konoe Maehisa's residence.
Now that he had received the money, Konoe began to get busy with his work.
For several days, Konoe had been going in and out of the mansions of the ministers of Kyoto for a long time, frequently visiting some of the ministers who were good friends, and then he announced that he would hold a grand waka party in his mansion for fifteen consecutive days after the fifth day!
As soon as this remark came out, it immediately amazed the entire Kyoto Minister's circle!
Most of the ministers were puzzled by the sudden "hao" Konoe Qianjiu, and the few people who knew the inside story had nothing but envy in their hearts.
Kyoto, Ichijo Bo Residence.
When Ichijo Fangtong finished reading the letter in his hand and invited himself to participate in the waka meeting held at Konoe Maehisa's residence, Ichijo was originally very happy, after all, as Guan Bai, the minister among the ministers, wouldn't it be very faceless if he couldn't attend such a grand event?
But in the same way, Ichijo Fangtong also wondered why Konoe was suddenly so tyrant during this time? Not only did I wear different new clothes all day long, but I also held such a grand waka party!
However, when Ichijo learned that it was the Tsugawa family who funded this waka party, Ichijo was speechless!
Do you have to compromise in front of money?
"Nope! That's not true! A Fang Tong clenched his hands into fists and shouted unwillingly, "It's money!" It's money that corrupts me........"
