Chapter 188: Yamashina Yanji
Kyoto. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The war between Miyoshi and Tayama and the Rokkaku Coalition did not seem to have affected this area, and the civilians continued to live their daily lives at a slow pace. Perhaps, they already liked the war in? Or maybe they don't think the war will affect them at all.
"People are always so forgetful...... How long has it been since the Onin Rebellion? Have they forgotten what happened back then? Standing on a street in Shimokyo, Oda Yoshinobu sighed as he watched the residents of Kyoto go about their lives at a relatively slow pace.
Sometimes, he really felt that the people of Kyoto were completely different from the people of other regions, and the rhythm of life was as if they were living in a time of peace.
"My lord, in all recorded history, Kyoto was hit by war only during the Onin War. But almost a hundred years have passed since that battle. Li Huamei shook her head helplessly and said, she didn't understand why her father-in-law suddenly became so sentimental. Hawkers, she must not have known that otaku are sentimental creatures, otherwise she wouldn't be so confused.
"Hehe, it's also ~ nearly a hundred years, enough to smooth everything......" Oda Yoshinobu sighed when he heard this. In a hundred years, what can exist in people's minds for a hundred years? Hardly ...... Because no one lives for a hundred years.
In fact, the average life expectancy of people in this era is only 4 or 50 years old, and from the Onin Rebellion to the present, there have been four emperors alone, not to mention commoners. Moreover, in this era when there is no film and television, and books are luxuries, it is obvious that it is difficult to tell the horrors of that time to the juniors only by word of mouth.
Shaking his head, Oda Yoshinobu suddenly thought to himself, "What do I think these are for?" What the hell do you care about me? After muttering a few words, Oda Yoshinobu led people to go to Shangjing.
Since the establishment of the Muromachi shogunate in 1338, Japan's political center has moved from Kamakura to Kyoto, although the emperor and ministers have always lived there. During this time, Kyoto was redivided into two parts, Kamikyo and Shimokyo, and these two so-called Kyoto actually have the same meaning as wards. Xiajing was a place where industrial, commercial and civilian people lived, and Shangjing was naturally the place where the emperor and many ministers lived. And Ashikaga Yoshiteru's palace is naturally also in Kamikyo.
"Huh?" As soon as he walked to the door of Ashikaga Yoshiteru's palace, Oda Yoshinobu's brows furrowed, because the gate of Ashikaga Yoshiteru's palace was closed, and at this time, it was daytime! As far as he knew, the gate of Ashikaga Yoshiteru's palace had never been closed during the day. Even if Ashikaga Yoshiteru is not there, there will be a small surname guarding the door to entertain the samurai who come to visit.
"What's going on?" Oda Yoshinobu turned to look at Li Huamei and Lilu helplessly, but obviously, the two of them couldn't answer Oda Yoshinobu's question.
"Why don't we wait a minute? Maybe His Royal Highness the General is out? Li Huamei proposed such a solution that is not a solution.
"That's all it can be." Responding depressedly, Oda Yoshinobu found a place to sit down without any image.
Seeing this, although Li Huamei and the others wanted to say something, UQE also knew that Oda Yoshinobu could not listen to it, so he could only stand aside obediently and cover it a little. After all, this is the place where the minister lives, and it can be said that any passer-by may be more than five high-ranking officials.
Hawkers, although since the creation of the Kamakura shogunate in the Minamoto Yoritomo Dynasty, the imperial court has completely lost its real power, even if the prestige of the shogunate is now sunset, it is tens of millions of times stronger than the imperial court. But even so, no one would underestimate the role of the imperial court. Because no matter what, the imperial court represents the emperor, and to despise the imperial court is to despise the emperor.
Ha? The emperor has no soldiers, no power and no money, so why dump him? Tsk, really angered the emperor, believe it or not, send you more than a dozen letters of appointment to the enemy in minutes? While that's all the Emperor can do, the nations around you are looking forward to dividing up your realm once and for all.
You must know that in this era, the most important thing is the shogunate's crusade order, and the other is the enemy designated by the imperial court. Any one of them will attract the peeps of the wolves. Because this is the most righteous name, and once the enemy is designated or the crusade is issued, the loyalty of the retainers will also be shaken.
This is also why Oda Nobunaga heard that Oda Yoshinobu was going to Kyoto, so he asked him to come to Ashikaga Yoshiki to see if he could ask for a crusade order.
Time passed bit by bit, and I don't know how long it has been, Ashikaga Yoshiteru still hasn't returned, or Ashikaga Yoshiteru's palace is completely unattended. This made Oda Yoshinobu lose his patience, well~ He is not a very patient person.
"Forget it, let's go back and rest first! What's the matter if you wait like this! Oda Yoshinobu said unhappily.
"It's fine." Li Huamei and the two girls nodded in response.
Just as they were about to leave, a man dressed as a minister came slowly, "This samurai, please stay." The visitor said loudly.
Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu looked at the minister suspiciously, but still asked very respectfully, "I don't know what advice this lord has." Although Oda Yoshinobu has always been very arrogant in the eyes of others, strictly speaking, he just doesn't care about the world's eyes, and he still does quite well where he should be polite.
For example, now, he doesn't want something wrong with him and leave a bad impression on the minister in front of him. After all, in his heart, the ministers are all very broken mouths and grudges. Although he himself is not afraid, if he causes any trouble for the Oda family, it will not be easy to handle. Although for the minister in front of him, Oda Yoshinobu is not so annoying.
Well, mainly because this minister didn't want to be like the guys Oda Yoshinobu met before, his face was white, and he shaved off his eyebrows to make two nondescript black spots, and he spoke in a weird tone. That kind of person, to be honest, Oda Yoshinobu really can't stand it, it's even more painful than the eunuchs in Huaxia.
But the minister in front of him is obviously much more normal, with a normal face and a rather majestic appearance, especially the voice, which sounds quite straightforward.
Slowly walking in front of Oda Yoshinobu, the minister chuckled and said, "I'm Gonchu Nayan Yamasha Yanji, but your Excellency is a member of the Owari Oda family?" ”
"Exactly, in the Shimota Oda family, Oda Yoshinobu, I have met Lord Gonaka Nayan." Oda Yoshinobu said respectfully. There is nothing strange about his identity being recognized, after all, the back of his samurai uniform is embroidered with a large Oda family crest.
Well, in this era, samurai would embroider their own family crest somewhere in their clothing to indicate their status, but no one has ever embroidered such a large family crest on the back like Oda Yoshinobu. Tsk, maybe Naruto has seen too much?
Hearing the name Oda Yoshinobu, Yamashina Yanji's eyes suddenly lit up, "It turned out to be Oda-sama, even if I have lived in Kyoto for a long time, I have heard of your honor's brave name, and when I saw it today, he is indeed an excellent samurai!" Yamashina laughed and admired.
"Hehe, it's all a false name, a false name~" Oda Yoshinobu said with a respectful smile, at this time, he also remembered Yamashina Yanji. This is also normal, after all, whether it is Taiko or the Shinno series, Yamashina Yanji, Kikutei Haruki and Konoe Maehisa are all characters who must appear, and they are also characters that players often need to deal with. Even if you are not familiar with them, the name has an impression.
"Oda-sama, Ashikaga Shogun is not in Kyoto at this time. If there is nothing else important, why don't you go to my palace and sit down? Yamako Yanji said with a smile.
"The Lord in the right is so gracious, how dare you push it down?" Oda Yoshinobu replied respectfully. Then he turned to Li Huamei and the two daughters and said, "You go back first, you don't have to wait for me for dinner." ”
"Hmm." Li Huamei and the two daughters responded obediently, and then left with the Death Gods.
"Hehe, Lord Oda is so blessed~ Two beautiful women with a beautiful national color, one of them is still a Southern Barbarian~" Yamashina Yanji said with a smile that all men understand.
"Hehe, they are also retainers in the concubine room, but the black-haired one is not a native~" Oda Yoshinobu replied with a smile.
"Oh? That's ......," Yamashina asked, after hearing this.
"She is the military general of the Ming Kingdom."
"What?! No wonder she looks so outstanding, it turns out that she is the daughter of a warrior of the Ming Kingdom. Yamashina Yanji said in shock, and after speaking, there was obvious jealousy on his face. Because in the eyes of these ministers, the status of women in the Ming Kingdom is definitely above the women of their own country, and the daughters of the military generals of the Ming Kingdom have a higher status than the daughters of ordinary ministers.
Hawkers,This is also something that can't be helped.,Who made Japan worship Chinese culture very much since ancient times? If you can marry the daughter of the noble class of the Ming Kingdom, then you will definitely be able to get more literature and art about China from her, and her status in the circle of the secretary of state will not be too high.
For Yamashina Yanji's jealousy, Oda Yoshinobu is very useful. However, Yamashina Yanji is worthy of being a member of the power, and after sighing a few words, he revealed the matter and returned to his palace with Oda Yoshinobu.
The appearance of the palace is almost exactly the same, so when he arrived at the place, Oda Yoshinobu didn't care, and directly followed Yamashina Yan inside. It's just that along the way, the surrounding environment shocked Oda Yoshinobu. However, Oda Yoshinobu was not shocked by how extravagant and luxurious it was, but by its simplicity.
Yes, it's simple, of course, it's compared to the standard of the secretary of Oda's faith. Owari also has a minister, and although Oda Yoshinobu rarely touches them because he doesn't like them, he occasionally follows Oda Nobunaga to their mansion and sees unusually luxurious decorations and furnishings.
But what about Yamashina Yanji's palace? There are ordinary courtyards, and there are not even rockeries and ponds that are standard in ordinary samurai mansions. Walking into the palace, you can see dilapidated homes everywhere. This is the royal palace of the right to speak! Oda Yoshinobu really couldn't think of any reason to explain this.
"Hehe, my imperial palace is a little shabby, and I hope Lord Oda won't be too surprised~" Yamashina Yanji saw Oda Yoshinobu's shocked expression and said with a chuckle.
"Ah, no, no, it's just that it's really strange in the next place, why does Quan Nayan ......" Oda Yoshinobu said at the end, but he didn't know how to speak.
"Alas, this is also something that can't be helped, there have been wars and chaos over the years, and there are hardly many samurai who really take the imperial court seriously. The annual donations are also getting smaller and smaller, and after ensuring the life of His Majesty the Emperor, there is basically not much left for us......" Yamashina sighed helplessly.
Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu was silent, because he really didn't know what to say. After all, he was a samurai himself, and he had never taken the court seriously. And he always thought that it was useless to send money to the imperial court.
However, Yamashina Yanji doesn't seem to be going to say anything more about this matter with Oda Yoshinobu, after all, this is a historical issue, even if he does, what can he do? Over the years, Yamashina Jiyan has visited many famous artists, and he has long seen through it.
So, he just sighed a couple of sentences and brought the topic to the main topic.
"Oda-sama, I don't know what happened to you visiting Ashikaga Shogun this time? If it's a political matter, in fact, the imperial court can also help you. To tell the truth, Ashikaga General had already gone to Sakamoto Castle a few days ago because of the war between the Miyoshi family, Tayama and Rokkaku. Yamako Yanji said with a smile.
"......I see," Oda Yoshinobu thought to himself when he heard this. He was not surprised at all that Ashikaga Yoshiteru went to Sakamoto Castle for refuge, after all, this has almost become the norm for Ashikaga Yoshiteru. And Yamashina Yanji's words can be regarded as letting Oda Yoshinobu understand why this person who has nothing to do in the power will invite him to his home as a guest.
The doubts were solved, and Oda Yoshinobu suddenly smiled, "Actually, it's not a big deal, but you should know that the family is crusading against Mino's traitor Saito Ryuko, so I want to ask His Royal Highness the General for a crusade order." However, it would be great if the imperial court was willing to designate the Saito family as an enemy. ”
"This ......" Yamashina Yan's face suddenly darkened when he heard this, and he said with some pity, "I'm really sorry, with the current situation of the Oda family, ......."
Yamashina Yanji didn't say everything, but Oda Yoshinobu could also hear it, it was nothing more than that his status was too low and the court didn't look down on it? Sometimes Oda Yoshinobu is really strange, obviously the imperial court is so poor that he can't open the pot, but many times he still suffers with that boring face. If he is the emperor, who are you? As long as you give money, whether it is an enemy or an official position, you can sell it at will, and you can't lose anything anyway.
Tsk, what a naïve guy.
