Chapter 35: The Great Battle in Kyoto (1)

Kyoto, the place where the heirs of the gods of Toei are said to have been founded, is also the main background for various gods and monsters. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Kyoto City is rich in historical sites and is one of the most important towns of Toei traditional culture.

The city is said to have been modeled after Chang'an Castle, the capital of the Eastern Tsuchi-mae Dynasty, and the passage from Rajomon Gate to the north in Kyoto is Suzaku Street, which is 74 meters wide and is about 4 kilometers away from Heijonomiya Suzaku Gate.

There are side ditches on the left and right of Suzaku Street, and trees such as willows and locust trees are planted along the road, forming a tree-lined road.

Although Kyoto's urban area is very large, its population is only about 200,000, so the city is underdeveloped and has large areas of farmland.

Even so, Kyoto's dignitaries and nobles were among the strongest to buy, so it's no wonder why a treasure exhibition was held here during the war.

With the shogun's reward and His Majesty's annual distribution of the Emperor's salary, the ministers had no rights, but they lived freely.

There are naturally all kinds of desires to have a good life, whether it is Dongying or the earth's foot basin, it seems that these rich nouveau riche always like some stimulant drugs, and generally speaking, their lifespan will not even live to be forty years old.

However, the luxurious life of these nobles has nothing to do with His Majesty the Emperor......

In the early hours of the morning, Kyoto was quiet after another night of partying, and an unusually solemn meeting was being held in a very ordinary looking bathhouse.

The neatly placed interior of the bathhouse is hung with various royal decorations, which are pleasing to the eye, and the wheezing of men and women can be heard from time to time.

Since a large amount of the space was turned into a hot pool, the bathhouse owner's family had to squeeze into a small room if they wanted to have a meeting.

A large silk screen depicting the royal coat of arms of sixteen chrysanthemums stands abruptly in the center of the room, and this thing alone occupies a third of the room.

Under the screen, there is a beautifully patterned bronze ancient mirror and an ancient style sword, the environment looks very cold, but the royal majesty cannot be left behind.

A middle-aged man wearing a sixteen-petal chrysanthemum emblem dress with ancient jade hanging from his chest was lying on a low table and constantly writing something, and the books spread out in front of him were all shocking red letters.

Beside him, there were several young men and women, all dressed in royal attire, who were supposed to be served by the maids, but unfortunately they didn't have time to take care of these at this time.

After about ten minutes, the middle-aged man stopped, carefully reviewed the book, and had to sigh, "Hey, it doesn't look like I have made much money this year, and the debt has still not been paid off......"

"What! Dad, he obviously entertained so many dignitaries and nobles, and even the ghosts in Xiyi didn't let go, how could he not make money? ”

"That's right, Kyoko and I sometimes don't even have time to eat, and we dance seven festival dances a day, is there a mistake?"

Listening to the complaints of his children, the middle-aged man could only cry out in vain, "I have calculated many times, and I really didn't make much, and I didn't make much pocket money for the New Year...... It's only a hundred at most! ”

“…… We are royal descendants! Nobunaga, this guy doesn't respect you too much, father! ”

"What if you don't respect it? Even if I were Emperor Tokusho, the problem was that the so-called monarchy did not exist in Toei for a long time. ”

This is the family of the supreme ruler of Toei, the son of the gods of Takamagahara, and the emperor who should have glorified the eternal world, but now they are the family of the impoverished bathhouse owner.

It's ridiculous to say, as the emperor, except for the original light source, no shogun has ever respected them.

Ensuring a safe and prosperous life as long as you are not allowed to leave Kyoto is the treatment of the royal family.

Originally, it didn't matter, the problem was that the shoguns of the past generations always felt that the imperial family was going to mischievous and tried every means to attack the monarchy.

First of all, the Grange outside Kyoto was all taken away and auctioned to the generals, and there was no way to oppose this, so I had to endure it.

Next, the Imperial Family's commercial shops in Kyoto, except for the bathhouse where Emperor Tokusho was staying, were all taken away or set on fire.

This is miserable enough, and as a result, you have to deal with the fortune of hundreds of officials, and there is no other way but to sell the palace, antiques and even the royal princess.

In the generation of Emperor Tokusho, he had to borrow money to get by, and the only imperial palace was rented out as a history museum, and the queen had to bring a maid as a docent.

And he can only bring the children to this imperial bath and become the owner of the bathhouse with the highest status in the world.

Emperor Tokusho, who had a sad face, was still thinking about how to celebrate the New Year, but the side door was pushed open, "Boss! Someone from Edo! ”

"Someone's coming? Is it a New Year's gift? ”

"This ...... It is said that they came to deliver food, and it is said that the treasure exhibition held by the ministers consumed a lot of food......"

“…… Damn! ”

As soon as he heard that it was actually found by the ministers, Emperor Tokusho knew that he had no points, and he didn't know what was going on this year.

The sad days of the emperor's family continued, and Fujido, the anti-bone boy, carried grain and grass into Kyoto City, but they looked a little embarrassed.

The minister who received the news had already sent someone to greet him, "Thank you for your hard work, Lord Fujido...... What do you look like, getting into trouble along the way? ”

Fujido was angry when he heard this, and he pressed 500 stone of grain, but he actually encountered three waves of thieves, four waves of mobs, and hungry ninjas and wanderers who rushed to rob along the way, which was really angry!

Even if two thousand more pieces of waste wood come, it will not be enough for the evil army to cut down, and the problem is that there have been several sudden heavy rains in a row, which makes the march extremely difficult, and it feels even more uncomfortable than fighting.

"Don't talk nonsense here! Hurry up and take me in to rest! ”

"Yes, yes...... Please go this way, please ......"

Of course, the minister did not dare to disobey this general, this was the leader of the evil army, which angered him, and no one in Kyoto could control him.

After entering Kyoto Castle, Fujido looked unhappy, but as a military general, he had already begun to look at the castle defense here.

To his delight, Kyoto may have been peaceful for too long, and there are not many patrols and defenses who are willing to work, but the chengguan who maintain law and order seems to have some combat effectiveness.

With this good mood, I walked all the way through Kabumachi, Treasure Hall, and the trade area, only to see a group of transport ships flying lily flags at the port!

Could it be that Nobunaga discovered his whereabouts?

Fuji Tang directly grabbed the minister who led the way, and asked quietly, "How can there be Xiyi's soldiers and warships here?" ”

“…… You're talking about Citigroup, huh? They came from Edo to do business, and they brought a lot of weapons and ammunition to sell! ”

"Huh?"
