Chapter 161: Dongshan Imperial Palace (II)

……，……

The tea ceremony is a water mill for self-cultivation and self-cultivation, and if you want to make progress, it is not something that can be done in a short time, but also you must really calm down. In other words, at least for a short time, I won't reactivate him, and I won't let him go to Kanto, if he wants to be reused, he will have to rein in his edge and change his heart and style.

As I expected, after receiving the tea bowl I had given me, Keisemasa understood the meaning of my warning, and immediately gave the bow and arrow for hunting to Katsugano Shushin. After that, he began to restrain his flamboyant style, tried to live as simple as possible, and never hunted with great fanfare.

I know it's going to be uncomfortable for him, but his xìng character really needs to be honed like this.

Leisure time always passes quickly, and before you know it, summer and early autumn are passing away, and the autumn leaves in Kyoto are gradually showing a colorful style. On this sunny day and autumn sè is abundant, both the ministers and the townspeople have left their homes to wander around the mountains and temples, especially the few autumn foliage spots such as Kurama-dera Temple, Kiyomizudera Temple, and even Arashiyama a little further away, which are almost surrounded by crowds, and I have specially opened most of the area of Rokaenji Temple for the townspeople to enjoy and see.

Of course, Rokuenji Temple has been given by me to Zhou Jingfu as an apartment, and the Hoshodo Hall, where Zhou Jing himself lives, the Great Shoin where Akiko lives, and the Golden Pavilion where Ashikaga Yoshimitsu Bodhi is placed, are naturally not open to the public. This is a bit of a shame for the townspeople, because the best spots in Kyoto to see the autumn leaves are the Rokaenji Golden Pavilion and the Mirror Lake Pond next to the Golden Pavilion.

At this moment, I am sitting in the water pavilion by the pool, looking at the colorful autumn leaves on the opposite side. The red leaves of the forest, reflected in the clear water of the Golden Pavilion and the blue sky, make it even more gorgeous like brocade. Occasionally, a breeze blows, and the scenery moves with the water, which is like a rainbow and a dream.

"This is really a supreme beauty," I said to Zhou Jing with a smile, "No wonder you have moved to the water pavilion here for a while, and even I look a little envious...... On the side of the Higashiyama Imperial Palace, there are no such gorgeous autumn leaves. ”

"Yes," Zhou Jing played with the song note in his hand, and smiled and owed, "Mingzi came over occasionally, and when he saw such a scene, he also said to me with emotion, thank you very much for your father's kindness." ”

"Akiko is going to give birth soon, right?" I thought about it for a while, and seriously instructed Zhou Jing, "At this time, she should be allowed to recuperate in peace, but there can't be any mistakes." 5???? Read the latest chapter of this book As for the autumn leaves, I read it every year. ”

"With the mother of the straight tiger watching, there will be no problem." Zhou Jing replied.

"Yes." I nodded, sighed slightly, and couldn't help but think of Xiao Xia, when Zhou Jing's long NV Zhu Ji was born, Xiao Xia was by her side to take care of her. At that time, I was busy fighting Hideyoshi in Imabari Castle, and I didn't think there was anything, but now that people are idle, I feel a little lonely. Especially during this period of time, Naohu has been living in Shikaen Temple to take care of Akiko, and Senjuhime, Kaizu and Mingjin are married to Jingzheng, Xiuxing and the adopted son of Kamikawa Keirokuro Jingzhen respectively, and the palace is a lot empty all of a sudden, which makes me a little unbearable and quiet. Otherwise, I wouldn't have left the Imperial Palace to come to Kyoto, and if I just wanted to see the autumn leaves, Kiyomizu-ji Temple near the Imperial Palace would not be much inferior to Shikaen-ji Temple.

"Mother is not here, and Naoto's mother is here too, so my father feels lonely, right?" Zhou Jing found my emotions very thoughtfully, "I heard Mitsu and Sister Akitsu say that you used to like the NV at home the most...... So, if Akiko gives birth to an NV child this time, how about raising it for you? ”

"Really? That's a good idea," I smiled and nodded, "so be it, if it's really a nv, I'll give her a name and take care of her with your Naohu mother." ”

……，……

It seems that God heard these words of me and Zhou Jing, and at the end of the month, Mingzi gave birth and gave birth to an NV child. Mingzi was slightly disappointed, because he didn't give birth to Zhou Jing's eldest son, but Zhou Jing and she were still young, so there was no need to be too anxious. After that, according to the agreement, Zhou Jing gave me the child Jiāo and asked me to name her.

"It's called Natsu," I said, thinking about it.

"Xia Jin? It's late autumn ......" Zhou Jing didn't understand.

"It can't be the same as your sister and sister, it's also called Qiujin and Dongjin, right?" There was a hint of depression in my tone, "Moreover, your mother was not born in winter, and she is not called Xiaoxia." ”

The reason why Konatsu is called Konatsu is that her grandfather told her to remember what happened that summer, when my titular father, Kishira Nobunao, was raided and killed by the Motoyama family on the Niyodo River, and that I was nominally forced to be sent to a monastery as an infant. In other words, as soon as she was born, she was tasked with assisting the young master of the Kira family.

"That's right." Zhou Jing nodded, understanding what I meant. The name Xia Jin is obviously in honor of Xiao Xia, who has passed away. 5???? Read the latest chapters of the book

So the child's name was decided.

Immediately afterwards, good news came from the Kanto side, the Hojo family saw that Satomi Yoshiyori committed suicide, Satake Yoshishige surrendered, and Satomi Yoshishige supported by the shogunate, the rest of the Kanto clans, and the Tohoku daimyo who had besieged the Satake family participated in the Odawara Castle raid, and finally lost the confidence to resist, and the head of the hermit family, Hojo Clan, who held real power, committed suicide, and the head of the family, the Hojo clan, surrendered to the castle, and together with Satomi Yoshishige, he was transferred to the Yama Yīn Boqi Kingdom, each receiving about 100,000 stone territory.

I'm very much in favor of this approach. The Hojo family originated in Izu Province, and the Satomi family originated in Anbo Province, and their initial territories were very small, but they gradually encroached on the Kanto region and built up a huge power. Needless to say, before the Satomi family conquered Odawara in history, they got the territory of Hideyoshi Andu, including Anbo, Shimoshigoku and the southern part of Kamitsu Province, and the total stone was more than the Satake family's Hitachi 540,000 stone, and it was the second largest force in the Kanto region at that time after the Hojo family, but the appeal of the head of the family at that time was not great (Satomi Yoshishige, who was forced to become a monk, was the lineage, and his mother was the NV of the Ashikaga Haruka clan of the Furukawa Gongkata), so after Yoshiyori's death, his son Yoshiyasu was quickly confiscated by Hideyoshi. Now they have been transferred to Shan Yiīn, and each of them has received 100,000 stone from the Shogunate, which not only shows the leniency of the shogunate, but also cuts off the foundation of their development.

The original Hojo family and the Satomi family were old enemies for a long time. Hojo Yasu exiled Ashikaga Haruki, who married his half-sister, and supported his nephew Ashikaga Yoshiji as a puppet, gradually encroaching on Kanto; Satomi Yoshiyao supported the Ashikaga Harushi and married the nv son of the Harumi clan for his son-in-law Yoshihiro, and gave birth to his grandson Satomi Ume Maru Yoshishige. It wasn't until Satomi Yoshiyori usurped the family business and forced Umeomaru to become a fellow traveler of the Hojo family that the two families took this opportunity to officially reconcile. However, now that Satomi has been able to inherit the family business, he will definitely be wary of each other and contain each other with the Hojo clan......

The triumph of the army is naturally another lively. Unlike in the past, this time the protagonist was Shinkei, and I never gave him all this great honor, so that he could accumulate great prestige and prepare for the relocation of the shogunate center.

At the same time as the celebration banquet was held in Shiseiyuan, I also held a banquet at the Higashiyama Imperial Palace to entertain my royal companions. The people who are eligible to participate, in addition to the aforementioned Hosokawa Shinyuki, Takenaka Shigeji, and Wasuka Masakatsu, there are also new Otomo Yoshitomi, Oda Nobubo, Nagano Fujitotsu and Takigawa Ichiyoshi, all of them are famous people, and several of them have also led several ** forces, but now they have all unloaded their family business and held idle positions in Kyoto that accepted from the three powers.

"Yiyi, hard work. Your deeds in Kanto have been reported to me by the public authorities, and it can really be said that you have turned your hands into clouds and covered your hands for rain, and I am very impressed when I hear it. I raised the bowl and saluted Takigawa Kazuki first.

Takigawa Yiyi hurriedly raised his bowl and responded: "The reason why I don't dare to make my subordinates can play with ease is because of the majesty of the Taizheng Gong and the Gongfang Palace, as well as the 300,000 troops behind him as a support, I really don't dare to take credit." ”

"Now everyone is an idler, and they all lead the position of the minister of the imperial court, so there is no need to talk about the courtier's court," I smiled and took a sip of sake, "It's a pity that Shichengyuan is missing you, one of the best heroes, and I'm afraid the banquet will be much inferior." ”

"Yes" Wasuka Masakatsu also laughed, "It's true that I'm old, and I rarely went on expeditions in the early years, but His Royal Highness Yiyi has made such a contribution in Kanto this time, and it is a promising time, why should he suddenly retire?" ”

"Speaking of age, Zai is also sixty years old, no younger than your Royal Highness Zhengsheng" Takigawa Kazuyi sighed, "It's just that His Royal Highness Zhengsheng followed the Taizheng to determine the four kingdoms fairly, and assisted the Gongfang Palace to integrate Kyushu...... Fortunately, this time, relying on the trust of the Taizheng Gong, he was able to become one of the commanders, and as the vanguard to pacify the eastern country, even the second son inherited the 100,000 stone family business of the Yuki family, and now it is time to retire after success. ”

"His Royal Highness Yiyi said this, and it should really be embarrassing to be here," Nagano Fujitsu said, but his face was full of smiles, "Speaking of meritorious deeds, compared to everyone here, it is beyond the reach of the dust."

"There is no need to mention anything about the merits now, and the Luàn world has finally been pacified, which is something worth celebrating. In the future, isn't it also a rare day for you to travel to the forest and be accompanied by chūn cherry blossoms and autumn leaves, summer lotus and winter snow? ”

"Tai Zhenggong said this very much." Shinyuki Hosokawa raised the bowl in agreement. For most of the past six months, he has lived in Kyoto very well, and has specially renovated the old residence of the Hosokawa Kyozhao family, the annex and the Bodhi Temple, apparently preparing to spend the rest of his life here.

"Hmm," I nodded, "in the middle of next month, Prince Seihito will hold a banquet in the Gui Palace to celebrate the completion of the palace.

"The prince invited, and we deserve to congratulate him." Yoshinori Otomo also agreed.

"Tai Zheng Gong, Your Highnesses, I'm afraid I won't be able to attend," Shigeharu Takenaka lowered his head and owed to me and the rest of the people, "I'm really sorry"

"What, is it because you're not in good health?" I asked with concern.

"The body is fine, but the Gongfang Hall asked me for help and asked me to assist him in presiding over the survey of the territories of the great names in the Northeast as a counselor." Shigeharu Takenaka replied.

I nodded slightly. When I was in Mie Castle, I was the first to take the position of Kanding, Castle Town, and Temple, and Shigeharu Takenaka served as the Kanding Commissioner, and participated in presiding over the family's previous large and small feudal matters, and he has always been responsible for teaching Shinkei, which can be said to be the teacher of Shinkyo, and now Shinkyo is asking him for help, which is a matter of course, and he is naturally inconvenient to refuse.

However, can Shigeji Takenaka's body still support it? In real history, he died more than five years ago, although since following me, I have always taken care of him, let him stay in the center of the house in Mie Castle, but later, with the development of the family and the rise of Shinkage, he had to follow most of Japan, and his health is obviously not as good as before.

You have been too busy in the past two years, and your health is not very good, can you still be so tired? I frowned slightly, "The northeast is remote, not to mention compared to Kinai and Shikoku, even compared to Kanto, it is also an authentic bitter cold place, and the matter of surveying the land is mainly in the winter before the opening of Chūn." ”

"Taimasa, please rest assured, I'm just a consultant's counselor, and I know how to take care of myself," Shigeharu Takenaka smiled, "Moreover, Inuko Shigegen is eleven years old, and although he has a heavy role to serve as an afterthought, he is also a little relieved in Xia, and now that he is going to Kanto, he can just take care of it nearby." ”

Chongju is Takenaka Shigeju, his younger brother, who is currently serving as the elder of the 20,000 stone pen head and the head of the family in the domain. When Takenaka Shigeji skillfully captured Inabayama Castle, it was thanks to the heavy moment pretending to be sick who served as a hostage in the city, and later he went out to Saito's house to Kita-Omi and gave his own Bodhi mountain castle Jiāo to Chongju, so Shige as a wealthy family of Mino, has been under Nobunaga and Nobutada, and during the Battle of Sister River, Asai family's Endo Naokori disguised himself as a samurai of the Oda family to raid Nobunaga, that is, he was recognized and killed by Shigeju. It wasn't until the Honnoji Incident and Nobunaga returned to heaven together that he and his retainers abandoned the territory of Mino Province and defected to the Kira family as the elder brother of the old minister.

Hearing him say this, I can't persuade him anymore. In addition to his deep relationship with Shinkyo, Shigegen Takenaka's age is indeed too young.

"The disposition of the Hojo family and the Satomi family, did Shinkyo ask for your opinion?" I thought about it for a moment and suddenly asked about it.

"Taimasa Gong is still so wise," Shigeharu Takenaka smiled slightly, "I have indeed received a letter of inquiry from the Gongfang Palace. ”

"Then I'll have to take your side," I sighed and nodded, "knowing a son is better than a father." It seems that even with the accumulation of Kyushu land inspection, in the face of the newly surrendered Tohoku daimyos, in the face of the intricate relationships and territorial disputes between the daimyos, Xinjing is still a little lacking in confidence."
