As the New Year approaches, Hosokawa Nobumoto decides to hold a New Year's party at Nijo Castle and brings his family to him.

"Father! What is a house? "Senakamaru lay on the couch and listened to his father tell him some interesting bedtime stories.

"Yagata is actually an honorific title for the residences of nobles such as the public family and the samurai. Later, starting with the Muromachi shogunate, the shogun gave a kind of honorary title to some famous families or samurai family heads with outstanding achievements. At the top of the house number are the public name and the imperial name, which can only be owned by the direct blood relatives of the royal family and the shogun. "Hosokawa Nobumoto is like a loving father, and in this way, he brings us closer to each other.

"The Yagata was founded in the early days of the Muromachi shogunate, and was mainly a member of the Ashikaga clan, a powerful guardian of the daimyō, guardian of the dai, and the lords of the countrymen who helped the Ashikaga clan ascend to the throne of shogun.

There are a total of 21 houses in Muromachi, which are divided into:

Three families: Spo Takee family, Hosokawa Kyozhao family, Hatakeyama Kongo family.

Companions: Yamana Tajima Guardian House, Isshiki, Hatakeyama Takumi Writer, Hosokawa Sanshu House, Akamatsu, Kyogoku, Ouchi.

Kunichi: Spo Onokie, Hosokawa Kami/Shimowazumi Guardian Family, Yamana Hakuki Guardian Family, Yamana Iwami Guardian Family, Toki, Takeda Doushu Family, Imagawa Suruga Guardian Family, Rokkaku, Tomigashi.

Quasi-national holders: Hosokawa Oshu family, Kyogoku California family. ”

"Wow! That said... My Hosokawa Kyozhao family is at the top, right? Clever Pill couldn't help but clap his hands happily when he heard that his family was so high.

"Of course! But ah, when the Ashikaga shogun's family was extinct, the three families who were qualified to inherit the shogun's family were the three families of Kira, Shibukawa, and Ishibashi, who were known as the royal family, and their first head of the family chased five generations upwards, and they were the same ancestor as the Ashikaga clan. ”

"Huh? Why is that? My Hosokawa family should be the closest branch of the Ashikaga clan, why are they the three of them? Smart Pill pouted, a little dissatisfied, in terms of strength and influence, how could it not be the turn of these three.

"The setting of this royal family is actually after the twenty-one house shape. Due to the early death of the fifth shogun Ashikaga Yoshigami and his own uncle, Ashikaga Yoshikyo, through political struggle, defeated the Ashikaga clan of Kamakura Prefecture (Yoshimi's father received the Yuko, who enjoyed the right of inheritance) and seized the position of the sixth shogun. This is why the two shogunates did not live in harmony for generations in the future. ”

"So that's the case, no wonder they are born from the same root, but why are they in a hurry." Clever Pill suddenly realized, I see.

In order to deliberately exclude the inheritance qualifications of the Spo clan and the Kamakura Prefecture, Yoshikyo began to look through the genealogy and cite the scriptures...... To the effect that there are not many sons of his ancestor Ashikaga Yoshiji (the third generation of the head of the Ashikaga family), the eldest son is the chief of the Kira clan, and the second son is the heir Ashikaga Yasuji (the fourth generation of the head of the family). ”

"The original main room of the Ashikaga Yasushi clan was the daughter of the Nakoshi clan, and because the Kanmoto riot (a palace riot) involved the Nakoshi clan, the main room was replaced by a girl from the Hojo family, that is, Ashikaga Raishi's mother. And this Hojo family is the genuine Hojo family that Hojo Sakumo pretended to be, and its family crest is the three-scale pattern, and it will die with the Kamakura shogunate in the future. ”

"So... Now this Hojo family is an impostor? One of the enemies of the family? Clever Pill blinked and became interested in the forces around him.

"That's right, so marrying your sister is to block the westward advance of the Tsugawa family and buy time for the family to eliminate the Hojo family." In this way, Hosokawa Nobumoto made Smart Pill integrate into housekeeping faster and better.

"Got it." The smart pill is also a little thorough, and Hosokawa Nobumoto continues to tell the story of the Muromachi shogunate...

"This Ashikaga Yorishi is the great-grandfather of the Ashikaga Honji, the first general of the Muromachi Shogunate, because he is a son-in-law, so his eldest brother established a branch of the Shibo clan and named the Shiba clan, and the second brother established the Shibukawa clan and named Shibukawa Yoshiken."

And the eldest son of the Spo family is Ishibashi Yoshitoshi. After Ashikaga Yori, Ashikaga descendants were either single-lineage, rebellion, or ordination, so in this case, the closest collateral lineage were: Spo, Kira, Shibukawa, Ishibashi, and Kamakura. ”

"Then, after excluding Spo and Kamakura, there were only three left, and in this way, the Kira clan became the first in the order, and there was a nursery rhyme of 'no heir Kiratsu'." When Hosokawa Nobugen said this, he remembered the second half of the sentence 'Kira no heir Imagawa Ji', in fact, there was no such statement in this era, and it was all made up by later generations.

"Humph! According to what he said, it would be better to start directly with the head of the Ashikaga clan, Minamoto Yoshiyasu (Ashikaga Yoshiyasu), then my Hosokawa family will be at the top! Senimaru said angrily, he actually had an inexplicable sense of pride in being the Hosokawa clan. This is also because now that the Hosokawa family has grown, if it is like the declining Renki family, it is estimated that they will not even have the confidence to say this.

"Hehe... It's the same whether it's in line or not, the so-called power comes out of the barrel of a gun, and since it's not our turn, we will directly shoot it down. Hosokawa Nobumoto smiled, those so-called ranking successions are all, and the Ashikaga clan of the Muromachi shogunate has not relied on overthrowing the Kamakura shogunate Kawachi Genji to ascend to the throne of the general of the Seiyi.

"Father-sama, since Muromachi is a twenty-one house, what is the matter with the Kanto Yayatata?" Relying on the form of the story, it successfully aroused the interest of Smart Maru.

"The Utsunomiya family, the Oda family, the Koyama family, the Satake family, the Chiba family, the Naganuma family, the Nasu family, and the Yuki family, the eight Kanto daimyos, were given the 'Yagata number' by Ashikaga Mitsukan because of their long-term support for the Kamakura Princess, known as the 'Kanto Hachiyagataka'. But in fact, it's just using the title of Yagata to buy people's hearts and help him fight against the Kanto Governor. It was from that time that the house shape was not worth much. Hosokawa Nobumoto shook his head, his own house-shaped family style was several streets away from their Kanto house-shaped.

"Father! When the children found out, they gave them iron cannons and called them in the shape of a house, which was to win people's hearts! "Clever Pill suddenly realized that he had learned a little more.

"Good... How clever! Worthy of being my son! Hosokawa Nobumoto praised two sentences, children need to be affirmed.

"Hee-hee..."Senimaru was also very happy, and his heart was full of joy.

"This annual meeting, you can also attend, sit next to me. You're almost twelve years old, and it's time for you to see and see the court. "Hosokawa Nobumoto is now ready to start building up the prestige of the smart pill.

"Well, the kids will try." Clever Pill said, gradually falling asleep, I don't know if in the dream, he is a generation of overlords who gallop the field with a sword and expand the territory, or a generation of heroes who talk and laugh and guide the country.
