Genzaburo's Motofu ceremony has finally arrived, no, to be exact, it should be called Oda Katsunaga.

Since returning from the last assessment room, this young master has been in a state of excitement, greeting people when he walks on the road, and does not care whether the other party is a master or a servant, and occasionally sees a dog, he will come forward to talk.

Because the matter of giving him a long name can not be announced until the Yuanfu ceremony, his family usually calls him Yuan Saburo, which makes this young master very unhappy, and when he is unhappy, it is also the most unlucky time for Long Shaocong.

These days, Long Shaocong has been dragged by him to the princess's courtyard, in the name of visiting his sister, in fact, he went to peek at Meizi, and intentionally revealed his father's name, and boasted about himself, but in exchange for Meizi's white eyes, Yuan Saburo didn't care, every time he looked very useful, and laughed cheaply.

Long Shaocong saw it in his eyes, and really wanted to go up and kick him, but in view of the identity of the master and servant, he still endured it, not to mention that he still had the opportunity to see Princess Xiuzi every day, and the two of them were always in love with each other, and they were sweet in their hearts.

In addition, Yuan Saburo also forced Long Shaocong to call himself Shengchang Young Master in private, calling one sentence on the left and one sentence on the right, but he always looked like he was nostrils facing the sky and underbeaten, feeling that he would be able to defeat his father in the future, and boasted that one day he would lead Long Shaocong to charge into battle, and it was not a meritorious ......

For these children's words, of course, Long Shaocong was only joking, but when he saw the excited appearance of the young master in front of him, he was worried, because with a little memory of later generations and a simple understanding of the history of Japan's Warring States Period, this Katsucho young master seemed to have a short life, and he would die with his father Oda Nobunaga and brother Oda Nobutada in the Kyoto Honnoji Incident two years later.

At this time, the excited Genzaburo was wearing a brown dress, kneeling there, making a serious expression strongly, and his eyes were full of brilliance. Long Shaocong can see that Genzaburo is full of hope for the future, and if he tells him the truth at the moment, the other party will not only not believe it, but will also give rise to many unnecessary incidents.

In private, Long Shaocong cursed more than once, lamenting that his fate was not good, since he crossed over, he was either a lowly farmer, or he was chased and killed by a big demon, and finally came to run, thinking that he could be a blessing in disguise and spend the rest of his life smoothly, but who wanted to follow a short-lived master.

Long Shaocong even thought about whether he was looking for a chance to leave and find another master, in his memory, the final winner of Japan's Warring States was Tokugawa Ieyasu, but at this time, he didn't know where this person was, and in the troubled times, there was a possibility of death at any time, even if he followed a master who finally became a great cause, it was also "a will become famous and withered", who can guarantee that he will not die on the battlefield?

Therefore, Long Shaocong finally chose a conservative approach, away from the land of right and wrong, and living in peace is the safest place, as for the mission and responsibility that the master once talked about, Long Shaocong listened to it at the time and was still enthusiastic for a while, but then he never remembered it, because he thought he was a little person, in this magnificent era, he was always irrelevant, but he completely ignored one point, fate sometimes likes to fall on the little people, so that you can avoid it.

At this time, the sound of drum music sounded, and the Yuan costume officially began, first a god wearing a single crown and a white mask, leading three witches to pray there, the god shook slowly, his mouth vibrated with words, and he hummed a lot of nonsense as if he was singing, Long Shaocong heard the gist of it: Amaterasu, Grace Born Soul, this son is blessed, Tianshou Lu Yongchang, Yuan Fu is in the first battle, and the glory is long......

After the blessing ceremony, another monk wearing a green robe and holding a razor came up, Long Shaocong saw it, and he was puzzled, could it be the son of the thief Bald Tsutsui Shunqing, and he still had to shave his ordination and become a monk?

Unfortunately, he only guessed half right, and the following was indeed a shaving ceremony, but instead of becoming a monk, he only shaved off the front hair, leaving the temples and the back of the head, shaving all the hair on his forehead, and then erecting a braid forward.

In Long Shaocong's opinion, this funny head shape is quite similar to the Manchu banner man, who shaved the front half of the top of his head and then combed back a long braid. However, the difference is that there is still hair on both sides of the front top of Genzaburo, and the bald head only extends inward from the middle, forming an oval, quite like an egg that has been opened in front, so Long Shaocong immediately gave it a name, called "egg head".

In fact, this hairstyle is a fixed head shape for adult men in ancient Japan, and it is called "Tsukiyo head". However, it is said that this hairstyle was only because child prostitution was prevalent in Japan at that time, and men shaved their hair ugly, completely for the sake of the same sex, and not to have the idea of non-separation.

Regardless of the truth or falsity of this statement for the time being, in Long Shaocong's view, after Yuan Saburo performed the "shaving" ceremony, his appearance was greatly reduced, and he was originally a young man with a delicate face and good facial features, but now it is like painting his facial features on a rotten egg, pretending to be.

The next "crown ceremony" was originally a simple matter of putting a hat on the head to show the child's adulthood, but it was put here after some cumbersome benefits, first the sound of drums, and then an old man with a shrill voice shouted: "Please crown the hat......"

When he first heard this, Long Shaocong really doubted whether this person was a eunuch. After the voice, one of the attendants brought out a tray with a regular black squire hat on it.

At this time, a fat man sitting in the front row on the right side, wearing a gorgeous court dress and a fair face, immediately stood up and reached out to take the crown hat, but just as he was about to touch the hat, a big hand with rough pores suddenly stretched out behind him, and he picked up the crown hat one step ahead.

The fat man in the gorgeous court dress was the lord of Nakayan from Kyoto - Shima Fan Turtle, he saw that someone was so rude, he was very angry, suddenly turned around, found that it was actually a black "wall", and when he looked up, he saw that the other party was a tall and burly foreigner wearing a black robe.

At this moment, this foreigner was holding a crown hat, hanging a hooked nose, his eyes were looking directly, and he did not look down at him at all.

The fat man saw that the height gap was so large, and his face was obviously timid. Originally, after the imperial court learned that Oda Nobunaga's five sons would be subdued, they assigned Onmyoji Apei Tokushige to preside over the "crown ceremony", but Antai Tokushige returned to Kyoto ahead of schedule after dealing with a major event.

Since then, this fat man has picked up a big bargain, and as a "black hat pro", he was sent to preside over the "crown ceremony" on behalf of Ampei Demao.

When he learned the news, Shimafan Kamei immediately set off, day and night, and rushed to Azuchi Castle the night before yesterday, and after visiting Oda Nobunaga for the first time, he closed the door to thank the guests, bathed and changed clothes, and concentrated on preparing for the "crown ceremony" at the Motofu ceremony, in order to leave a good impression on Oda Nobunaga and lean on this big tree.

But who knows, a foreigner was killed halfway, and the crown and hat were snatched away by outsiders in advance, and he was unwilling in his heart, but in the face of Fang Kuiwei's size, he didn't dare to go up and grab it, so he had to set his eyes on Oda Nobunaga, hoping that this hero would come forward and give justice to the host.

But what he didn't expect was that Oda Nobunaga didn't even look at him, and after nodding and smiling at the foreigner, he didn't say anything more. The foreigner was even more unceremonious, and he didn't pay attention to any etiquette, he directly put the crown and hat on Genzaburo's head, then took out the holy water, sprinkled it for a while, and then began to convey the words of the Lord Jesus with the Bible in his hand......

All of this was obviously colluded before, and Daofan Turtle knew that he was being tricked, but there was nothing he could do, so he had to sit back in his place again.

Long Shaocong saw the whole process, and couldn't help but be ashamed of this strange scene, thinking that where is this crown ceremony, it has become a baptism of the Christian church. By this time, the priest had finished praying and, after his companion had said "Amen", he returned to his seat.

The Yuan service ceremony finally came to the last moment - to give the name, the old man with a sharp voice just now, slowly stepped forward again, unfolded a side of Huang Ling, Yin and Yang suddenly recited a bunch of flattering words, Long Shaocong felt like the holy decree of the ancient emperor of the Celestial Dynasty below, and the opening chapter was: God bless, keep the family of ten thousand generations, and the emperor Zuo will be for a thousand years...... Today, the right minister, Nobunaga Gong's five sons, are wise and intelligent, and are young and weak...... Now the name Oda Katsucho......

As soon as the words fell, the drums were all famous, and he had been kneeling there, and the sad Genzaburo was finally officially promoted to Oda Katsunaga, and under the leadership of his father, he stood up and saluted all the distinguished guests and adults......

At this time, the banquet has just officially begun, if according to the formal Yuan dress ceremony, it will be over here, but this Nobunaga Duke likes to be different, in addition to inviting foreign priests to wear crowns for his son, he also moved the ceremony that should have been held indoors to the edge of Lake Biwa, although the sky is getting cooler, but the red sun is hanging in the sky, the clouds are clear and refreshing, and the lake is shining, which is a beautiful scene, adding a heavy beauty to the Yuan dress ceremony......

This unconventional approach naturally attracted the opposition of a group of literati and scholars, but they also dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, so they had to bite the bullet and participate in the Yuan Dress Ceremony from the beginning, but in the end, the banquet appeared, smelling the sake in the bottle, these people also instantly faded their displeased looks, and the expression of flattery to Oda Nobunaga was pasted back on their faces.

Long Shaocong naturally raised his hands in favor of this arrangement, originally with his identity, he should behave in a proper manner and stand on both sides, but he understood these rules, and when the bitter Yuan dress ceremony was over, he swaggered into the banquet hall, but instead of tasting sake, he went straight to the opposite group of foreign priests.

As early as when the Yuan service ceremony was carried out, Long Shaocong noticed the group of foreigners who stood out from the crowd, and even more noticed the red wine in front of them, and at the beginning of the banquet, he went straight to the red wine.

When the group of foreigners saw a teenager take the initiative to enter their camp, they immediately showed great enthusiasm, and shook hands with Long Shaocong to greet each other, but what surprised them even more was still behind.

Through conversation, Long Shaocong learned that the other party was a Portuguese missionary, and the person who presided over the "crown ceremony" for Oda Katsucho just now, named Paul, traveled thousands of miles to the East to spread the gospel of the Lord, in fact, the real purpose was to lay a front station for colonization.

Since Long Shaocong only had some contact with Portuguese in the later world Chinese college, not a major course, so he could only communicate with the other party reluctantly, fortunately, the other party has lived in Japan for a long time and knows some simple Japanese, so it is not difficult to communicate.

In this way, a young man of the Celestial Empire wearing a samurai costume held European red wine in Japan and had a cordial conversation with the other party in Portuguese and Japanese, effectively promoting bilateral relations, conducting in-depth discussions on certain international hotspot issues, reaching a final understanding, and calling on all parties concerned to earnestly fulfill their commitments and prohibit the use of force......

Long Shaocong learned that because of the unusual appearance and language barrier of this group of Portuguese, they have been isolated in Japan, if it were not for Oda Nobunaga for political needs, to crack down on Buddhist forces, allow them to preach openly, and establish churches, I am afraid they would not even have a foothold, so these people are very grateful to Nobugato, and when they heard that they were invited to participate in today's Yuan Dress ceremony, they made full preparations, not only changed into a new dress, but also brought red wine, fresh milk, pizza, steak and other delicious ......

Unfortunately, most of the Japanese ministers and samurai were seriously xenophobic, and they were constrained by traditional concepts, so they could not accept these new things at all for a while, and would rather sit at their own small table and eat small fish and two pickles two fingers wide than go to the table of this group of missionaries and taste the delicious food.

This is cheap Long Shaocong, he accepted the other party's toast while tasting the European flavor, and really felt that this was the happiest day after he traveled through Japan. But just as he was silent in the mellow aroma of red wine, they heard a violent voice coming from each other: A group of overseas savages, who do not respect etiquette, have come to our country to show off their military power and spread paganism......

This remark made Long Shaocong startled, and the wine glass in his hand almost fell to the ground, and at the same time, the others were also stunned by this sudden "thunderbolt", and the originally lively scene immediately quieted down.

Although Paul did not fully understand the meaning of Dao Fangui's words, judging from the other party's expression, he guessed that it was aimed at himself, and just wanted to step forward to theorize, but heard a voice say: "The widow dog is doing a great gift today, thanks to your hard work, come to give the widow this thin face." ”

When everyone heard the voice, they found that it was Oda Nobunaga who spoke, and he was still dressed funny today, dressed in European-style clothes, with a sword at his waist and a folding fan in his hand. ”

Shima Fanzhong Nayan has always regarded himself as a nobleman, and in his heart he looked down on Oda Nobunaga, a prince who relied on conquest and blood to dominate one side, and when he saw the other party asking himself, he was taken by Nobunaga's majesty, and he didn't dare not answer, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "If you want to serve the world, you must naturally respect the gods, respect the royal way, pay attention to etiquette, spread benevolence and righteousness, put an end to killing, and have the blessing of the god Amaterasu to protect the longevity of the country." ”

"Hmph......" Oda Nobunaga heard this, his face was cold, and he said: "The widow became famous in a battle from the barrel narrow, entered Beijing from Shangluo, restored the dignity of the emperor, and conquered all kinds of ministers, relying not on the blessing of the gods, pedantic etiquette, but strength!" ”

Before anyone present could compose himself at his words, he saw Nobunaga wave his hand, and the attendant carried a round ball, and he was about to ask if anyone knew it, but he heard the next voice coming: Globe.
