Chapter 532: Kanto Governor
The two slowly came to another room and saw that the clumsy armor was enshrined on the top, which was the head of the eight leaders of the Genji clan of Genji in Kawachi, which had been passed down from generation to generation in Genji, and the Hachiman Taro Minamoto Yoshina wore this large armor in the Ishishimizu Hachiman Palace, which was passed down from the Genyi family to the Minamoto Yorito, and gradually became the highest symbol of the identity of the pillars of the Genji.
Ashikaga Yoshitoki walked over and bowed down respectfully, folded his hands and recited the name of the Great Bodhisattva of Nan Mu Hachiman, and after a while said, "What my brother said is very reasonable, the people's hearts are not such a simple thing as violent conquest!" If you want to train fierce dogs, you must first put a halter on the fierce dogs, and you can't let them bite people at will before they are tamed. ”
Konoe frowned for a long time and said, "It's not wrong to say that, but ...... Does Yishi really have time to do this? It's not quite right, is it? With the duties of the Kanto Princess, it is not possible to establish a royal family system, which will make His Royal Highness the Shogunate even more suspicious of righteousness! ”
"Even if you don't do anything, Your Highness the General won't trust Yu! Although people's hearts are unpredictable, the nature of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages will not change after all. "Ashikaga Yoshitoki firmly believes that extraordinary people do extraordinary things, and his kindness to Ashikaga Yoshiteru should have been repaid a long time ago, and this time the shogunate was similar to a reluctant promise to raise his family, and this process was not very pleasant, but he still had to accept this affection.
The argument between Konoe and Ashikaga Yoshitoki was fruitless, and the two of them expounded their ideas from different angles, using fashionable terms to fully exchange each other's opinions, and in popular terms, chickens and ducks to talk about their own opinions. In the end, neither of them could convince the other to change their minds. Fortunately, Konoe didn't intend to achieve certain goals for a long time. If you can't talk about it, then don't talk about it.
Ashikaga Yoshitoki admired Konoe very much, and in another time and space, he was circling around for the mess of the Muromachi shogunate, and once ran to Kanto to cheer for Uesugi Kenshin as the Kanto governor, all he did was to hope that the dragon of Echigo could sweep the Kanto Kamiraku Gongwei shogunate as soon as possible to support the general.
It is rare for the reigning Guan Bai to leave Beijing, and it is even more unheard of to leave the country of Kinai and go to a distant country, which is also something that has never been done by successive ministers of Guan Bai Zuo from ancient times to the present, and it can be said that his actions are a precedent.
What Guan Bai has to do is to sit in Kyoto and handle the government for the imperial court, even if Guan Bai sits there without saying a word, as long as the people are there, it can play a role in stabilizing people's hearts. Guan Bai not only requires that the identity must be from the Five Regent family, but also requires extraordinary political foresight and excellent skill, and the Five Regent family is the five families who take turns to serve as Guan Bai, rather than one family monopolizing the government.
If a certain level of Guan Bai is not good, it is a matter of being slowed down in minutes, those Guan Bai who only served for a year or even a few months were replaced because of various reasons for political loss, under normal circumstances, it is normal for a family governor from a five-year family to be a governor for two or three years, and it is not surprising that he has a stable position for ten years or eight years.
Of course, it wasn't himself who was so bold in front of Konoe, if he had a desire for power for his own selfishness, he could have stayed in Kyoto and continued to play happily with Ashikaga Yoshiteru, anyway, General Kenhao was very young with him, and he must have lived for twenty or thirty years, and he didn't need to try to go to such a dangerous place in Kanto.
As a result, the dragon of Echigo was not very powerful. Playing a messy strategy to lose a good deck of cards, the red-eyed Uesugi Kenshin refused to admit defeat and pulled Kanto out again and again. Konoe was disappointed to see this gentleman for a long time, so he had to return to Kyoto in frustration to guard the family business in a daze.
Ashikaga Yoshitoki doesn't want his righteous brother to live happily and go on smoothly in his career in the court, after all, the in-law relationship between the two is entangled in several layers, and the relatives are stacked with the offensive and defensive alliance that has long been the core of interests, and this alliance is probably the level of the blood alliance, which is the so-called both glory and loss.
This is just like Uesugi Teruto, who was entangled in an interest group at the beginning, and used the deep interest group connections and a serious illness accident to greatly reduce his ambitions, and only then succeeded in forcing the always tough Echigo Dragon to retreat to the level of subordination, this is a gambling adventure that cannot afford to lose, both sides are winners if the bet wins, and Echigo may fall into chaos if he loses the bet.
Simply Ashikaga Yoshitoki is still relatively powerful, from the bottom to Echigo to now only nine years of hard work, in just nine years to expand the territory of Echigo Province to have Echigo Province, Echichugoku Province, Ueno Province, Musashi Province, Shimoshi Province, Shimono Province, Shimono Province, Hitachi Province Domination, Shinano Province, Sagami Province Domination of most of the country, Kaga Province, Dewa Province half of the country of the huge territory.
It was no problem to be a general of Zhengyi immediately two hundred years ago, but because he still had a grace of knowing the grace of Ashikaga Yoshiki above his head, he had no face to stab Ashikaga Yoshiki in turn and then set himself up as the general of Zhengyi, which would only open a mess for his descendants, just like at the beginning of Li Shimin's Xuanwumen mutiny, his children learned to rebel one by one, and this precedent cannot be opened at will.
The inauguration ceremony of the Kanto governor was held after a three-day break in Kamakura, which was much worse than the big scene when Ashikaga Yoshitoki ascended the throne, and this was because Ashikaga Yoshitoki only wanted to take over the Kanto government smoothly, and did not plan to put any big words to stimulate the shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru, otherwise the standard of the shogun would only need to add more ceremonies and declarations to the world.
Ashikaga Yoshitoki deliberately vaguely stated the purpose of the enthronement ceremony, did not make any promises of expansion or hegemony in front of the people of the Kwantung Kingdom, and also did not mention the role of the shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru at the enthronement ceremony.
The enthronement ceremony of the Kanto Governor held on the same day was presided over by Ashikaga Yoshitoki, and he, the newly baked Edo Prince, automatically received the position of Tsuruoka Hachimangu Bebetsu, and it was only fitting that he presided over the succession ceremony of the Kanto Governor as the Kanto Prince, and the day before, Uesugi Terutora received the latest appointment from Konoe Maehisa, and the official Dansho Daibi remained unchanged and promoted the official rank to the fourth position.
Uesugi Terutora performed very well in this enthronement ceremony of the Kanto governor, and after a few days of surprise training by the ministers, he was able to complete all the etiquette during the ceremony. Ashikaga Yoshitoki deliberately observed the line of Asaga on the right. Narita Nagata Nagata standing in an inconspicuous corner. Take a closer look to see if his every move is as outrageous as the legend suggests.
He vaguely remembered that at the inauguration ceremony of the Kanto Princesses three days ago, he did not see any samurai who dared to sit on horses and salute, or that it was impossible to enter the Tsuruoka Hachiman Palace on horseback at all, as long as he stepped into the approach of the Tsuruoka Hachiman Palace, he had to dismount and walk, except for the Imperial Highness of the Nijo Imperial Palace in Kyoto, the samurai of the world who dared to pose in front of Ashikaga Yoshitoki had not yet been born.
The process of Uesugi Terutora's enthronement ceremony was not complicated, and when he met Hachiman Bodhisattva and then met Ashikaga Yoshi, he pledged allegiance to the Edo Princesses and guarded the gate of the Kanto Warriors for a period of time. During this period, no samurai dared to say a word, and Ashikaga Yoshitoki looked closely and found that Narita Nagata had no intention of making a statement, so that the preparation for him to sharpen his sword was wasted.
The Narita clan came from the Yokoyama Party, one of the seven parties of Musashi, and the Yokoyama Party, from the pedigree point of view, had a complex kinship with the Nakajo family, and the first time it was recorded in historical records was that Narita Taro was on the side of Minamoto Yoshitomo in "The Tale of Homoto", and then in the Kamakura period's "Azuma Mirror", it is recorded that when Minamoto Yoritomo fought against the Oshu Fujiwara clan, Narita Shichiro helped Tsunade to join the army and made meritorious achievements and was rewarded with territory.
Generally speaking, it is a royal family of the Kamakura shogunate, this is the lackey of the hardcore Hojo Tokumune family, and when the Kamakura shogunate collapsed, it was also unlucky with their master, and his skills were confiscated and became a penniless ronin. If it weren't for the emergence of a prosperous ancestor in the Muromachi period to earn back the family business, the Narita clan would have been completely finished.
It's such an inconspicuous little family. It is said that during the three-year battle of the first nine years later, an unknown ancestor of this family had a deep friendship with the Hachiman Taro Minamoto Yoshika, so from the Minamoto Yoshika family to the Kamakura Shogunate and the Muromachi Shogunate, successive shogunate rulers gave the Narita clan the privilege of saluting on horses, and over time it became a tradition.
There is also a theory that the Narita family, who was born in the Musashi Seven Party, faked the name of the Fujiwara family, and it is the same as the Yamauchi Uesugi family, so the ancestor of the Narita family, who was "noble-born", once received the permission of the Hachiman Taro Minamoto Yoshiya, and you don't have to dismount to meet anyone in the Tsuruoka Hachiman Palace, anyway, I'm very good, and I see anyone who is amazing.
This is a story full of loopholes.,Hachiman Taro Genyoshi's family went to have a deep friendship with a bullshit Musashi Seven Party inconspicuous Shu clan.,It can only show that the person who made up this story doesn't even have basic common sense.,Ashikaga Yoshitoki clearly remembers that in the first nine years and three years after the battle,The main force used is the main force is the Bando Hachihei clan.,It's true that the Musashi Seven Party also participated.,But the status of these families is obviously worse than 108,000 miles.。
When Taira Taketsuna, the leader of the Chichibu Party, one of the Banto Yahei clans, received the first imperial white flag from the Minamoto Yoshiya as a vanguard general, the Musashi Seven were just big soldiers who trekked with the big army, and as for a fake samurai from the "Fujiwara North Family" who couldn't even get out his own family tree, it was too difficult to pretend to be an elephant in front of the Genyi family.
There are thousands of branches of the Fujiwara North family, and most of them can't even eat enough, if the Minamoto family sees a samurai from the Fujiwara North family, they feel that it is not "noble", and it would be too nonsense to have to give some privileges, Tsuruoka Hachiman Palace is a family society that Minamoto Yoriyoshi persuaded from Ishimizu Hachiman Palace, which is equivalent to the intention of the Bodhi Temple set up by Kawachi Genji in Kanto, so that a low-born and incompetent samurai clan can not get off the horse in Tsuruoka Hachiman Palace, and how idiotic must the person who made up this nonsense story be.
At the enthronement ceremony of the Kanto governor, Narita Nagata was really honest like a loyal dog, kneeling on the ground the whole time and not even raising his head, the lord of the Musashi people was originally the Ogiya Uesugi family, and he had never heard of the Narita family rushing to the Uesugi family in Ogiya and even the deeds of the Uesugi family in the Kanto Yamauchi family, and there was no record of even the wild history.
……
The combination of Ashikaga Yoshitoki of Edo and Uesugi Terutora of Kanto is amazing, the two brothers have completed a major leap in their lives in just three days, and the huge pressure seems to be on the shoulders of the Hojo clan, and more and more information shows that Ashikaga Yoshitoki has done a very thorough job of suppressing the Kanto, even if the Wind Demon Ninja sent by the Hojo family went around stirring up trouble and fanning the flames, they failed to cause the large-scale riots they wanted.
Most of the people in Sagami Province could not continue to share the weal and woe with the Hojo family, and they defected from the Hojo clan government and joined the Kanto Princess, and the defection of the people of Sagami Province also meant that in Odawara Castle, some of the troops from the Sagami people would also be let go, and if they were not let go, there were only two solutions, either kill these people with a knife and not let them "collaborate with the enemy", or they could be disarmed and placed under house arrest until the war was won.
No matter which way you choose, you need to face the crisis that people's hearts are going to be messed up, and the defenders in the small pastoral city will inevitably fall into the embarrassing situation of shaking the morale of the army, and then the townspeople in the city will be in a commotion, even if the pacification measures are properly and the monitoring of the Wind Demon Ninja can ensure that there is no big chaos, but when the first link of this chain reaction is opened, it means that the dominoes behind will also collapse.
It was a time of alternating moonlight and sunset, and it didn't take long for the sun to set and plunge the entire castle into a deathly silence, and if it weren't for the majestic cityline that drew a sinuous arc, no one would have thought that this was a city of tens of thousands of people, and the quiet and deserted was the latest assessment of what was once the most vibrant city in Tokaido.
Since the Hojo Phantom Ann brought the news back to Odawara Castle, the atmosphere in the whole city has become more and more treacherous and uneasy, and the samurai in the city have gathered together in twos and threes to whisper about the changes in Kanto, no matter how the Hojo family blocks the news, there will always be rumors infiltrating the inside, and the wind demon ninja tried to arrest some criminals, but the more they caught, the more chaotic the public opinion in the castle town became, and in the end, the prison was filled or failed to suppress public opinion, but caused the rumors to spread more and more outrageous.
As many low-level samurai also participated in the spread of rumors, and there was an uncontrollable trend in public opinion later, Hojo Shiyasu had to come forward again to appease the restless crowd with his personal prestige, but personal prestige and credit are not unlimited overdrafts, and one day when Hojo Shiyasu's words will no longer be bought, the Hojo family will really be finished. (To be continued......)
PS: Bow and thank the book friend Jia Fei for the reward of the bareback ride, and the scheduled four more outbreaks tomorrow have been prepared.
PS: The story of Narita Nagata Nagata is definitely made up by later generations, and it can be said that the Genyi family gave privileges and exemptions, and it can only be said that some Edo samurai have a clumsy IQ, and they probably can't come from a background and can't access the historical documents of that class, and the compilation of historical materials depends on the brain.
