Chapter 788: Hosokawa Shogunate
Nijo Castle is magnificently decorated, and the roads are lit up on both sides.
Today is the opening ceremony of the Hosokawa family, and the day when Hosokawa Nobumoto was inaugurated as the shogun.
"My lord! The princes have been waiting in the temple for a long time. Asakura Aiomaru said respectfully outside the house.
"Hmm." Hosokawa Nobumoto, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes slightly, and his bright eyes revealed a thousand wisdoms.
He bathed and changed his clothes early in the morning, put on a black general's uniform, embroidered a huge Hosokawa Matsukasa Ryoshi family pattern on his chest, wore a black hat, and pinned a "palace cha" to his left waist, replacing the original folding fan.
With a bang, the attendant outside the room opened the door, and the sunlight poured into the room, hitting Hosokawa Nobumoto's face, revealing a healthy flush. Today he didn't follow the convention of dyeing his teeth black, smearing white powder, and shaving his eyebrows, because it would be just ugly.
Hosokawa Nobumoto got used to it a little, then casually picked up the jade "wat" on the side and got up and stood up.
In ancient times, when the minister of civil and military affairs met the king, he held the wat with both hands to record the king's order or will, and he could also write down the words to be played to the king on the wat board to prevent forgetting. The long, narrow wat board, made of jade, ivory or bamboo, depending on the grade, is a status symbol.
Wow... Hosokawa Nobumoto walked through the cloister to the main hall, Ohiroma.
"The lord has arrived!" With a singing harmony, the ministers in the palace hurriedly faced the main seat, put away their smiles, and sat upright.
Hosokawa Nobumoto walked in from one side, went straight to the main seat, shook his sleeve skirt domineeringly, and sat upright with a wat.
"Meet my lord! I wish the lord and the martial arts prosperous! Hosokawa parents are prosperous! "All the ministers brushed the ground and bowed down, and touched the ground with their heads.
Hosokawa Nobumoto looked around, a hall full of civil and military officials were present, and those who could enter the palace today were all a daimyo, so it can be said that the whole day was in the hands of everyone in this hall.
"Everyone, please." On formal occasions, Hosokawa Nobumoto still seemed slightly kinder.
"Thank you, my lord!" Everyone agreed in unison, and many people's voices trembled slightly, unable to suppress the joy in their hearts.
"Qin Wei Zhengyi general, the heavens are sacred, the new virtue is learned, when the beginning of the earthquake and departure, the fortune of Xi and tired, the rule is successful, and the people are healthy and the things are prosperous..."Tianhai (wise Guangxiu), as the celebrant officer, presided over the opening ceremony and praised the words.
This is the most lengthy and boring opening line in Hosokawa's history, but the people below don't think so. One by one, they listened to it with fascination, savoring the real words, and sometimes couldn't help but nod their heads in agreement.
"The Emperor is sealed!" The general must not only have a sword, but also a seal, and the seal of the general is given by the emperor of Shokin-cho.
When the emperor of Masakicho, who had been waiting outside the palace for a long time, heard this, he quickly tidied up his appearance and let him stand outside and wait for a long time, but he was tired. I thought in my heart that if Hosokawa Nobumoto hadn't agreed to give him the Ten Thousand Stone Imperial Statue, he wouldn't have been so compromised, and you must know that the formal sealing ceremony should be for the general to visit him, not for him to come.
Emperor Masakin-cho, the second prince of Emperor Go-Nara, his mother was the daughter of Wanli Koji Kenbo, named Fang Ren, who was made a prince in 1533. In 1557, Emperor Go-Nara passed away and ascended the throne, but the imperial family was desperately deprived of money, and it was not until Mori Motoshi and others donated money that the emperor reluctantly held the enthronement ceremony in 1560.
It can be said that he is usually very poor, half a year's ration of bran vegetables, and his clothes are all mended and mended, and today's set of clothes is the only one that has not been patched, just to wear it on this occasion.
"The Emperor is sealed?" Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't expect the emperor to be there in person, and at this moment, the emperor raised his head and walked into the hall with small square steps.
Without the instructions of the master of ceremonies, everyone didn't know how to salute, so they just looked back and watched Emperor Masakincho walk towards Hosokawa Nobumoto little by little. And Xinyuan actually sat firmly on Mount Tai, and he was not ready to get up to greet him!
"Hmm..."Emperor Masakicho looked at the strange eyes left and right, and felt awkward, he didn't look like a dignified emperor, but had a feeling that he had come to the Hajj.
Emperor Masakincho slowly came to stand nearby, looking at Hosokawa Nobumoto, who was still sitting cross-legged, his heart was angry, the guy in front of him was clearly demonstrating to himself! Thinking of this, the Emperor Huo Ran's sleeve skirt was ready to wait for the three shouts of the ministers, and hit back and forth Hosokawa Nobumoto!
Outcome... But there's no response below...
Emperor Masakincho turned around in surprise and wondered what was going on in the world? Could it be that they have completely ignored the imperial power? This is impossible, the ideological indoctrination of this thousand years has not been so easy to break.
What caught his eyes was confusion, horror, indifference, and all kinds of complicated eyes. Not only the hearts of the Emperor of Shokincho were shocked, but also the hearts of the Hosokawa ministers were shocked like a stormy wave!
The celebrant Tianhai did not make a sound of worship, and the old Yoshida Sokatsu of the pen family did not take the lead in worshipping, there was no leader, and the people behind were uneasy, and no one dared to try it because of the cold coercion of Hosokawa Nobumoto.
"The Emperor is sealed!" Amami's slightly threatening voice was like a heavy hammer, causing the Emperor of Masakincho to stumble and almost fall. Looking back at Hosokawa Nobuyuan on the main seat, the killing intent in his eyes was raging, like a fierce lion, locking his throat.
"Gollum..."Emperor Masakimachi swallowed timidly, although he was not sure that Hosokawa Nobumoto would really dare to kill the imperial family, but he was also unwilling to try it himself. After living this age, he is about to step down, he doesn't want to end up with a tragic death, and he is the first emperor in history to be killed, how shameful it is!
Thinking of this, Emperor Masakincho directly took the general's seal in the hands of the attendants on the side, took a few steps forward, and then... put it in front of Hosokawa Nobumoto.
"Well, hard work." Hosokawa Nobumoto responded lightly, as if the person in front of him was his courtier, and motioned for him to stand sideways.
Emperor Masakincho's face suddenly turned white and red for a while, he didn't want to stay here for a moment anymore, and as soon as he turned around, he quickly left the main hall as if he had fled!
This scene was imprinted in everyone's minds, and everyone's careful thoughts began to come alive.
"Go on." Hosokawa Nobumoto looked at Amami, who nodded knowingly and continued with the following ritual...
Hosokawa Nobumoto continued to enjoy the whole process, and today he deliberately provoked the imperial power, and the expressions of everyone below were all in full view, giving him a rough idea in his heart.
In later generations, many people believed that Amami, that is, Akechi Mitsuhide, was a royalist, so he launched the Honnoji Incident and killed the apostate Oda Nobunaga. But this is not the case at the root of the problem, and it is Hosokawa Nobugen who really understands Akechi Mitsuhide.
To understand a person, one must first understand his past. Needless to say, Wise Mitsuhide's background is also well-known for his orthodoxy, but Mitsuhide was once down, and when he was most depressed, he didn't have enough food, so he relied on his wife Heeko to cut off his hair and sell money to buy rice to feed the family.
It was at that time that Akechi Mitsuhide realized that in the era of the great chaos of the Warring States period, it was very difficult for young people to find a stable job, and even life was precarious.
Only by sympathy can empathy be aroused.
It was from that time that Akechi Mitsuhide secretly vowed that he must himself, or assist a person who can really bring peace to the world and a life of peace and contentment to people.
The emperor can't do it, he has nothing to show for it, and he has no real power, so after he killed Oda Nobunaga in history, he would rather establish a new shogunate himself than return to this declining imperial power.
The Ashikaga shogunate couldn't do it, so he betrayed Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who was kind to him, and destroyed the rotten shogunate with his own hands.
Oda Nobunaga couldn't do it either, and the eyes that looked at the globe from Nobunaga were full of aggressive greed. Mitsuhide knew that as long as Nobunaga was alive, this war... It never stops.
Today, Hosokawa Nobumoto is his ideal monarch, quickly unifying the world and never going on expeditions across the sea, a generation of Ming monarchs who can truly stop wars.
