Chapter 874: In a Day of Peace (5)
A man who has unified the world but has never opened? No matter what way it looks, it will attract doubts from others. It's like Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who finally went to Luo, and the first thing he did was to succeed to the post of general of Seiyi.
Of course, it's not that there are no similar people, just like Hideyoshi Hashiba in history, although many people say that he didn't open because he didn't have enough personality to open it, but according to the journal of the Library, it was actually Hideyoshi Hashiba who didn't want to be it.
But in any case, taking the post of Shogun to open the shogunate was a way of ruling that the imperial court, samurai, and common people had long been accustomed to. And now, Oda Nobunaga has repeatedly shirked this matter, and in Oda Yoshinobu's view, there is no reason not to arouse the suspicion of others.
"Hehe, there is, but the court just thinks that I want to serve as Guan Bai at the same time as the general of Zhengyi, but I don't suspect other things." Oda Nobunaga sneered.
"Oh? This reason is quite useful, since the Kamakura shogunate, the shogun did not belong to the imperial court, although he was able to rule the world, but it was more of an unrelated system with the imperial court. If you become both the general and the general of Sekibai, then you can rule the ministers while ruling the samurai. I'm afraid that even if the family has pacified the world now, the imperial court will not compromise easily, right? Oda Yoshinobu said with a sudden burst of light when he heard this.
The refusal to be an excuse to become the general of the Shogun is what the Oda family needs most at the moment. After all, a few years ago, it can be said that the world has not been completely calmed, but what about a few more years? The world has completely entered the era of peace, can it still be refused?
Although the replacement of the emperor may sound exaggerated and difficult for ordinary people to believe, there is no shortage of wise people in this world, and if it is guessed and evidence is gathered, it will inevitably be a bloody storm.
After all, this kind of thing is not without precedent, and judging from the time of the Pingshomen, it is not without support.
Hearing Oda Yoshinobu's words, Oda Nobunaga nodded, and then shook his head again, "This reason can indeed be used as an excuse, but it can't last long. After all, the family's control of the world has basically been completed, even if the court is unwilling, I am afraid that they will make compromises. ”
In the face of absolute force, the so-called system is nothing more than a joke. Even if Oda Nobunaga really wanted to serve as the general of Sekihaku and Zhengyi, would the imperial court dare not give it? You must know that to this day, all the income of the imperial court still depends on the donation of the Oda family.
"Hmm...... So, the speed of rumors has to be accelerated? Oda Yoshinobu groaned when he heard this, "But this kind of rumor can't be accelerated too much at all." ”
"That's your business, with your idea of having more than the stars in the sky, you'll definitely have an idea." Oda Nobunaga lightly spat out a smoke ring and said with a nonchalant expression.
"Cut." When Oda Yoshinobu heard this, he didn't say much, because in his opinion, there was really no one else who could do this kind of thing except him. After all, everyone else has the limitations of the times. It's as if before Oda Yoshinobu proposed to change his ancestors, Oda Nobunaga wouldn't have thought about this place at all.
Time passed little by little, and I don't know when it began, a rumor slowly spread that many of the ancestors of the Japanese fled from the Central Plains to develop.
At first, everyone just thought it was a joke, after all, in this era, there are no so-called archaeologists at all, the only ones who are responsible for compiling history books. However, although they conducted research and research in the compilation of historical records, most of them were also biased in favor of the Japanese emperor.
"Oh? This is very interesting, maybe my ancestors were still nobles in the Central Plains thousands of years ago~" Oda Nobunaga laughed when he heard the news during an evaluation.
"Lord, in fact, this may not be, now in Kyushu, there are still some people who believe that they are the descendants of that Xu Fu. It just so happens that today's history books need to be recompiled, so why don't you send someone to study it? Yoshinobu Oda suggested.
In this regard, Oda Nobunaga naturally did not refuse, and although the Seven Great Elders, the Seven Middle Elders, did not support it, they did not oppose it. After all, the compilation of history books is a completely thankless task in their eyes, and as long as they are not responsible for this kind of thing, they will not pay attention to it.
When Emperor Shokincho heard the news, he was also a little interested. At present, the history books of Japan are basically compiled by the imperial courts of previous dynasties, and it is naturally impossible for Emperor Shokincho not to know about the Central Plains fleeing to Japan. In fact, the emperors of the past generations have always been very welcoming to these refugees, not only will provide them with food, clothing, and housing, but also give them official work by those who are able, after all, most of the time they will bring all kinds of advanced technology and knowledge with them.
Therefore, after knowing that Oda Yoshinobu wanted to investigate the matter, Emperor Shokincho strongly supported him. After all, if it is really investigated who are the descendants of the nobles of the Central Plains, doesn't that prove that the Japanese state and the emperor at that time were more powerful?
"Look, the ancestor of XXX is a nobleman of the XX Dynasty, and finally under the influence of Emperor XX, he began to serve His Majesty the Emperor." Emperor Shokin-cho seems to have thought of the possible dialogue among the people at that time.
In the third year of Tensho, Shimazo performed a ceremony for his eldest son, Fearless Pill, "Fearless Pill, from today onwards, you will be a true samurai!" I'll name you Shima Katsu Takeshi! His father's real name is Shima Qingxing, and his alias is Shima Katsumo. However, the name was changed because of the relationship between the lord. Then, the name Shima Katsu will be handed over to you! I hope you don't live up to the name! ”
"Yes!"
In the 4th year of Tensho, Oda Yoshinobu's fifth son, Goro Motofu, was named Kitada Gukatsu, perhaps because the previous Taro and others were named Masato Ashi and other women were quite resentful, so this time Oda Yoshinobu finally struggled to think of a new word in his brain.
In the 5th year of Tensho, Oda Yoshinobu's son, Matsudaira Ieyasu's second son, Yoshimaru Motofu, was named Matsudaira Hideyasu.
In the same year, Manfukumaru, the son of Asai Nagamasa, and Ryuomaru, the second son of the Imagawa clan, Oda Yoshinobu named them Asai Naganobu and Imagawa Tadashi respectively, and adopted them as retainers.
"In a blink of an eye, five years have passed since the unification of the world." Oda Yoshinobu sat in front of Oda Nobunaga and sighed.
"Yes, it's been 5 years, and it's time...... Oda Nobunaga replied, and then looked at Oda Yoshinobu with a serious expression.
"Really?" Oda Yoshinobu muttered when he heard this, and his eyes looked past Oda Nobunaga to the distant horizon.
