Chapter 724: Back to Beijing
Kyoto, the seat of the centralized power of the imperial court. Pity... Now the samurai are in power. The real center of centralization is Nijo Castle, not far from the Imperial Palace!
Today, it's full of lights and joy...
"Hang high! Hang high again! "Sprinkle water! Hurry up! Yagatataden is coming back soon! "The servants inside and outside the gate are busy nervously.
The four main mothers of Oda Inu, Mochizuki Yuki, Ii Naotora and Oda City stood in the courtyard, waiting for Hosokawa Nobumoto's return.
"Oh... Oh... Fly... Hahaha..."In the wild, a girl about ten years old ran back and forth, holding a small kite in her hand.
"Princess Sakura... Princess Sakura... Stop playing... Stop playing, Yagata Hall is coming back soon, hurry up and go back! "A few maids ran behind, so anxious that they were sweating profusely, today is the day when Hosokawa Yagata comes back, how can you not wait at home, what kind of system is this.
"I won't! I don't! Hum! He doesn't come back a few times a year, and this time Sakura ignored him! Hum! Hosokawa Sakura played with her temperament, but she didn't go back, broke free from the entanglement of the maids, and ran away again.
"Princess Sakura... Princess Sakura! Come back soon! Oh, what can I do, if the house hall knows, it will have to peel the skin of the villains! You're coming back! "One runs in front, and a group chases behind. caught up and didn't dare to forcibly pull it away, one by one timid, sad faces.
"Hasn't Sakura come back yet?" Oda dog willow eyebrows upside down, very dissatisfied, what day is today? This kid is messing around again!
"Back... Back to Mrs. ... Small... The villains don't listen to Sakura... Princess Sakura..."One of the maids below trembled, trembling with fright.
"Rubbish!" The Oda dog scolded coquettishly, and he couldn't even bring anyone back.
"Sister, don't worry, Sakura is just playing with a child's temper, just coax." Oda Ichichi accosted the maid and motioned for the maid to step aside, and the latter bowed gratefully. Then, he turned back to an older girl and said, "Ah Chu, go, bring your sister back." ”
"Yes." Asai Chu was very well-behaved, and then, like a little adult, he ran out of the door and went to find Hosokawa Sakura.
"Hey... It's still a good job... I don't know what's wrong with this girl Sakura, she wasn't so stubborn when she was a child, why did she become more rebellious the more she took care of her personality? Oda Inu sighed, Hosokawa Sakura is getting more and more difficult to manage, and it is like two people when she was a child.
"Hehe... Probably... Is it because you know that she is about to get married? Or is this adolescent rebellion? Wasn't Murakaimaru the same when he was a child? It's still competing with Smart Pill for dominance. Ii Naotora laughed beside him, and glanced at Hosokawa Murakaimaru who was standing guard in the courtyard.
"Mother! Don't open which pot is not opened, it's a grand occasion, and you want to call me Lord Murakaimaru! Adults know what? I'm the captain of the guard! On duty! The village guild stood there with a snort, and now he was tasked with protecting the stability of his family.
"Yes, yes, yes... My guard... My lord... Hehe..."Jing Yi Naohu covered her mouth and smiled happily, in fact, she knew that this was Murakai Maru who was angry, after all, she saw that several of her brothers had gone to the battlefield to make great contributions, but she left him at home.
"Actually, the family is so stable, thanks to the merits of the Murakaimaru-sama." Mochizuki stroked her belly, her face full of happiness. The doctor said that in a few days, she would give birth.
"Hey, hey... It's still Xue A-Niang who understands things. "Murakaimaru is a little more balanced at this time.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Suddenly, there was the sound of a gong striking in the distance.
"Coming, coming, hurry up and get ready!" Oda Inu and the others hurriedly combed their makeup, and Hosokawa Nobumoto returned.
Clang! Clang! Clang! The gong opens the road, the loess clean street, the clear water scatters the road, and a team of people from the suburbs of Kyoto comes to the momentum!
First, rows of ashigaru stepped onto the streets of Kyoto, brightly dressed and lined with spears, shining brightly in the sun.
Immediately followed by a hundred iron cannons, a ninja dressed in black, exuding a faint and cold aura.
Further back, there was an invincible team of blue helmets and blue armor, just like royal guards, walking proudly on the streets, exuding a thick murderous aura, so that the townspeople who knelt down on both sides did not dare to look up.
Eventually, a dozen tall horses surrounded Nobumoto Hosokawa and stepped onto the streets of Kyoto. I saw Hosokawa Nobumoto wearing a golden top, with two famous knives diagonally inserted in his waist, and the BMW horse "Wind" under the seat.
The "Wind" is also very spiritual, and it cries loudly and moves forward proudly. Surrounded by a mighty stream of servants, holding a banner with the Hosokawa family's family crest embroidered on it: Matsukasa Ling.
"Oh my God!" The townspeople knelt on the ground and trembled, and put their heads on the ground, this pomp, this formation, is even more bullish than the royal family!
The group soon arrived at the door of the Nijo Imperial Palace, and Oda immediately came out with his family and servants to kneel down to greet him.
Nijo Castle, also known as Nijo Imperial Palace, was the imperial palace of the shogun built by Oda Nobunaga for Ashikaga Yoshiaki.
The entire imperial palace is square, 400 meters from east, west, north and south, with a double bori (moat), a three-story arrow turret, and a stone wall, surrounded by a stone wall and a moat.
In the castle, there are Honmaru Goden, Nimaru Goden, Karamon, Kuro Shoin, Hakushoin, Inner House (courtyard), a castle tower located in a corner of the castle, and other outbuildings.
The Honmaru Palace and the Ninomaru Palace are the main buildings of Nijo Castle and are at the center of the composition of the Nijo Castle space. One of the Ninomaru gardens is a wandering water garden, with a clear water surface and clear springs, and there are three small islands in the middle of the pond, and a three-stage cascading waterfall is arranged in the center of the pool.
The surrounding area of the water garden is planted with all kinds of trees and plants that are high and low, and the combination is so good, the water surface, plants and lake stones are contrasting with each other, and the courtyard style is relatively rough, with a certain sense of strength, but for the treatment and arrangement of some local water stones and plants, there is no lack of delicate and rigorous collocation methods, which have a harmonious echo with the surrounding buildings.
The palace buildings of the Ninomaru Palace are beautiful and large-scale, and the greenery in the garden is well matched with the buildings. The walls and doors of the palace are painted with paintings by Kano Ichichi, a famous imperial painter of the shogunate, and the "Eagle Standing Pine Tree" and "Watching the Lion of the Eight Directions" are both masterpieces of the Kano school.
The interiors, decorations, and details of the palace buildings are extremely meticulous, luxurious, and properly handled. The eaves and cornices are inlaid with pure gold foil as embellishments, and the bright gold and dark architectural wood elements reflect each other to show the luxury of the mansion.
It is worth mentioning that when it was newly built, Hosokawa Nobumoto also dedicated the famous stone "Fujito" of the Hosokawa clan's ancestors, placed it in the imperial palace, and wrapped it in brocade silk, which means to calm evil spirits.
Today, Ashikaga and Oda are a thing of the past, and the ancestral heirloom "Fujido" and the Nijo Imperial Palace are returned to their original owners!
