Chapter 27: Difficult Assessment
I don't know if it's good or bad for the Kira family to do such a big thing, but the reward should be rewarded, after all, it's not easy for Hattori Masaaki to go all the way to Kanto to steal the village rain pill for him, and it's not his intention to poke out such a big hole, and it didn't fall to the Kira family in the end, so you can't give a reward for getting things done.
Kira Manmatsumu didn't hesitate to directly approve the reward of 200 kanwen, saying that it was a hard fee for them to take such a big risk, which made this middle-aged man who thought he would have to be punished burst into tears of excitement, and without saying a word, he knelt down and swore no money, saying that no matter what others do, he Hattori Masaaki and his descendants will always be loyal to the Kira family, and the violators will be punished by the gods and Buddhas and fall into hell.
"Speaking of allegiances in this era, it's really cheap, two hundred yuan to buy allegiance for the next life, this investment doesn't make too much!" Kira Manmatsumu really didn't feel a backache when he stood and talked, completely ignoring the fact that this huge amount of money could arm a hundred ashigaru, and could be exchanged for the allegiance of ten Mikawa samurai with excellent martial arts, and he could buy more than a hundred stone of white rice, enough for a hundred strong samurai to eat a year's rations.
He didn't lie down for a while, and the chief of Hattori, who served as the chief of the Hattori Guard, hurried over, and knew what he was coming for without asking, and sure enough, as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked about Hattori Masaaki, Kira Manmatsumaru could only admire that this brother was not a little powerful for a long time, and finally thought about it and told the ins and outs of Hattori Masaaki's trip to Kanto.
"Is that so? No wonder such strange news suddenly came out of Kanto, His Majesty has always suspected that his brother caused the trouble, it seems that this is really the case! After knowing the inside story, Hattori Baocho leaned down with a stiff face, looking very entangled in his heart.
Kira Manmatsumu can also understand his mood at this time, if someone else knows that his brother has stabbed such a big basket in Kanto, it stands to reason that he should be ready to draw a knife and unload his head, but it seems that Hattori Baochang is not so impulsive, but he was silent for a long time and said respectfully: "The safety of the Pavilion Master is very important, so my Chief Guard requests that Shiro and Goro be placed on the side of the Pavilion Master to serve on the left and right." ”
"Huh? How did you suddenly switch to the level of sending your son? Am I missing something? "This change is a bit fast, Kira Manmatsumu is a little out of rhythm, think about it carefully, there should be nothing missed, and there should be the famous Hattori Hanzo among the two boys of the Hattori family, so he nodded and said, "The family agrees with your proposal." ”
"Thank you, Lord Pavilion! Your Majesty Retires! After saying that, this Hattori Hanzo took two steps back and turned around and exited the castle tower, his movements were smooth and fast, and there was no shadow in the blink of an eye.
A few days later, a news came from Okazaki City, Taiyuan Xuezhai came to Okazaki City quietly, and sat in the Matsudaira family with less than a hundred followers before and after, and the so-called Matsudaira family civil strife burst like a bubble, until the news spread, only to notice that the five thousand Suruga people had quietly entered the eight counties, and the follow-up eight thousand Tsuruga people had also set off one after another, and the Imagawa family seemed to turn into a high-speed machine, and quickly pressed towards Mikawa Province.
From the sixth day of the eighth month to the day of the monthly assessment meeting, in the assessment room of the Honmaru, all the retainers and countrymen belonging to the Kira family gathered together, and the spacious and bright room was packed, and of course, there were also some people who originally swayed between Kira and Matsudaira, such as Kojima Sho Ina Tadaki.
Since his son Inadada's family defected to the Kira family to get a background, this old man has decisively stood in the camp of the Kira family, and he can't eat anything that is not disciplined, and the entire Hatazu County is surrounded by the Kira family, and his old man said that the pressure is huge, and he used to be attached to the name of the Matsudaira family as a pioneer, and now it is not surprising that he has switched to the camp at the right time.
The Hatto County is basically under the direct jurisdiction of the upper and lower Yoshira, and a small number of retainers and nationalists have only a small piece of territory, most of the countrymen are from Bihai County and Ota County, they are more or less related to the Matsudaira family or the Honshoji Temple of the Tsujimu, and they have always been not very deferential to the Kira family, and they often procrastinate when paying taxes.
Kira Manmatsumu wears a black hunting robe made of silk with the seal of Ashikaga Nichiji, although he does not have a moto costume and cannot wear a black hat for the time being and cannot be granted an official position, but as a member of the royal family and the Genji family of the dismounted people, the Kira family has a minor heir to the family governor for generations, and can also enjoy the privileges of ascending to the palace.
This is the reason why the Kira family has been vigorously promoted by the Gongfang Hall in the past dynasties since the Ashikaga Yoshimitsu of the Shikaen Temple, and it is also the reason why the Kira family is the highest in the Ashikaga family.
There are seventy or eighty people in the assessment room, these people come from all over the wealthy families close to the Kira family, as the governor of the Kira family, at this time Kira Manmatsu Maru is holding a folding fan in his hand and sitting quietly on the main seat like a mud tire wood sculpture, he has been sitting for half an hour, but the noise in the assessment room has not stopped.
A guy wearing a plain jacket of inferior fabric, a strange hat on his head, and a guy who looked more like a farmer shouted loudly: "Lord Yuguan really plans to go to Luo? It can't be that the Zen master of the Imagawa family's Taiyuan Xuezhai is scared to run to Kyoto, right? ”
The big mouth on the dark ugly face spewed foaming stars, so that the people who had twice dodged sideways involuntarily, but this one was still unconscious, and with a dialect full of three rivers, the retainers of the Kira family immediately frowned.
Yoshiro Sutsuyo Tsuno, a retainer of Kira, scolded: "Nakai Daizenryu, please pay attention to your words!" This is the assessment room of our family, not your country grange! Don't take the rumors of those rural villagers to your family's evaluation meeting! ”
"I'm not talking nonsense! I've heard a lot of people say that! These words have spread to Anxiang and Okazaki! Now who doesn't know that the Imagawa family's Taiyuan Xuesai Zen Master is coming to Mikawa, and the Lord of the Imperial Palace must be scared to go to Kyoto at this time! I bet that the Lord of the Imperial Pavilion is going to Luo, and the Taiyuan Zen Master will know tomorrow! ”
"Inusaburo, do you know how the old monk in Okazaki City knows about this? Didn't you go to Okazaki City to report the letter? ”
A group of people from Eita County immediately burst into laughter, and the scene of the commotion made the retainers of the Kira family angry, and several young retainers irrationally scolded them for their disrespectful behavior to the Kira family, and then both sides somehow drew their katanas, and then a white light flashed, and the dozens of bright katanas in the assessment room were all raised.
"Inuzaburo Nakai! If you don't keep your mouth shut, I'll cut off your head and hang it on the big gate! "Yamaoka Awaji Shouyao Yuan is a member of the Kira family tree, and he is also the leading general in the family, and the small assessment a few days ago did nothing because of the disadvantage of resourcefulness, but when it comes to the work of drawing a knife and cutting off the head, this is a good hand, raising the sword in his hand in the void to cut off the head of the Mikawa villager, which scared this group of people.
As one of the few samurai in the hall who did not draw his sword, the head of the Kira family, Kawachi Tajima Morunshada, finally stood up unbearably, pointed to a group of noisy samurai, and scolded: "Look at what you are all doing? When I was the evaluation of the Kira family, will it be a competition and cooperation field for your head of the village? Don't put the knife away yet! ”
"Yes!" These reckless people of the Mikawa country also came to their senses, and turned their faces to see Kira Manmatsu Maru still sitting there with a calm face, these local tyrants realized that the lord of the imperial hall was still there, and hurriedly put the knife into the sheath and sat down, Kira Manmatsumaru's face was very unsightly, and the people of Mikawa had always been unruly He also knew, but now it seems that he still underestimated the ability of this group of people to cause trouble.
ps: The Japanese pronunciation of "I" is "oh wow", I think everyone has heard it, right?
