The Nakain House is located in the town of Nakain between Rokujo Main Road and Muromachi Koji, not far from Nakain Town, and Rokujo Town, another branch of the Kuga family, the Rokujo family, also lives here, and the location of Shimokyo on Rokujo Oji is not very good, although the theory of going to and off Kyoto in this era is not recognized by the imperial court and the shogunate, but it also reflects the direct perception of the townspeople about the prosperity of Kyoto to a certain extent.

In particular, the Kamogawa River, which runs through the eastern part of Kyoto, meets Rokujo Main Road, is the most unlucky place in Kyoto, and its name is Rokujo River Source.

From ancient times to the present day on the small river beach at the source of the six rivers, I don't know how many heroes and fierce generals are buried here, the source of the Heiji Rebellion, Fujiwara trust, the source of the Hei Noh Sect, Fujiwara Tadashi and other generation of famous generals, Nochen has been sentenced here, after these losers were executed, the head will be hung on the three bridges to show the head, so that the passing pedestrians and business travelers to watch and set an example.

Before Kira Manmatsu Maru entered Kyoto, he had already sent Ma Hui to the house of the middle courtyard to deliver the letter, so as soon as the convoy reached the six main roads, he was greeted by the retainers of the house of the middle courtyard, and at this time, the main gate of the house in the middle courtyard was opened, and a young man stood in front of the door and waited.

"His Highness Kira! Please come with me! It's been a long time since the family governor was made to work for the public! The young man was very quick to arrive, without too much red tape, and directly led Kira Manmatsumu into the courtyard, and Kira Manmatsumu whispered to Ah Ju to be optimistic about Katsuhime and walk in alone.

As soon as he entered the big room, he saw a white-faced middle-aged man on the main seat, wearing a black hunting coat printed with the six-flower gentian Chejia pattern, wearing a black hat on his head, and the powder on his face was not heavy, at least he could see a little bit of the middle-aged man's appearance, and he could vaguely see his mother's appearance between his eyebrows.

"Wan Songmaru, come to my uncle's side! The last time I saw you, you were only so old, eight years have passed, Ai Ji is gone, leaving only poor you, is this the gods and Buddhas punishing my middle courtyard family? "The enthusiastic middle-aged man's name is Zhongyuan Tongwei, the current head of the Zhongyuan family is also Kira Saburo's own uncle, and at the beginning of last year, he was appointed to the three pillars of the family, and his family is slightly inferior to the minister of the Qinghua family, and his status in the Genji family is only a little worse than that of the Zong family.

Because it's just a family banquet, Kira Manmatsu Maru had the opportunity to meet his uncle Fang Yutai, Fang Yutai is the former governor of the Sanjo West family, the daughter of the two right ministers Sanjo Nishikojo, when Kira Manmatsumaru's mother was very young, he married into the middle courtyard family as the main wife, and Fang Yutai also had a close friend with Kira Manmatsumaru's mother, so she was also very enthusiastic about the arrival of Kira Manmatsumaru, and the young man sitting next to Fang Yutai was the son of his uncle's family, his cousin Zhongyuan Tongmi.

The middle court looks like he is fourteen or fifteen years old, and he is also wearing a black hunting suit, although he is only five or six years older than Kira Manmatsumaru, but he is very early, at the age of eleven, he was crowned with a crown and forbidden color palace, as the son-in-law of the minister's family, he will be five lower attendants, and then five upper, five lower, and five upper, and at the beginning of this year, he has been promoted to four lower right guard major generals, and the promotion speed is simply staggering.

Of course, this is really outrageous in the eyes of outsiders, but in fact it is not the fastest, the minister's family also has a son-in-law who began to talk about the five officials as soon as he was born, and the Tsinghua family and the higher regent family are even more frequent, and it is not uncommon for them to be promoted to three in their teens, this kind of promotion speed is like riding a rocket, compared to those hard-working samurai who can only stand up to the fake official of so-and-so for a lifetime, it is really sad to die.

Kira Manmatsu Pill is not much better, there is currently no Yuan Service and no official position underage, although he also has the privilege of ascending to the palace, but this really can't be compared with his cousin Zhongyuan Tongmi, Kira Manmatsu Maru visited his uncle, uncle and cousin as usual, and then said in a proper manner: "My official title has been changed to Kira Saburo, this is a gift from His Royal Highness the Princess, and His Royal Highness also said that I should be Kira Saburo." ”

"Kira Kamizaburo? Is this what His Royal Highness means? This, this is simply ......" Zhongyuan Tongwei was surprised by his new name, as the in-law of the Kira family, the governor of the Zhongyuan family naturally knew where the code was, but it seemed that his expression was not so happy, and even a little angry.

The middle courtyard Tongmi, who had always been like a puppet, seemed to come to life at once, moved slightly a few times and looked at him carefully, as if he had something to say to his relative who came from afar, but he hesitated and approached his mouth.

The gloomy face of the middle courtyard Tong whispered a few words with Fang Yutai, and then said, "Wan Songmaru! Listen to me, staying in Kyoto and not going anywhere is better than going to Jishoji Temple and Sakamoto! ”

Of course, Kira Manmatsu Pill couldn't stay here, but it wasn't good to hurt his relatives, so he just casually found an excuse and said: "But uncle, there are still some retinues in Sakamoto, Jiangzhou, so ......"

Zhongyuan Tongwei seemed to have expected it, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then he smiled heartily: "Then bring it together, my Zhongyuan family still has some manor properties in Yamashiro Country, and there is another income in Sakai Town, so there is no problem in supporting dozens of people." ”

"Not a few dozens, but more than two thousand." Kira Manmatsumaru said a little speechlessly.

"What? More than two thousand people. "This time, the middle court was almost overheaded, fortunately, Fang Yutai was next to it, and there was no big scandal, but the faces of the two of them were ugly, and he could barely do it to feed dozens of more people, but more than 2,000 people tied up more than three ministers in the court and couldn't get together so much food.

"Wan Songmaru, you're too disrespectful, why did Shangluo bring so many people? Do you still want to fight together? Fang Yutai helped her husband to calm him down, and complained in a blaming tone.

"Uncle, aunt Mingjian, my Kira family was greatly promoted by His Royal Highness the Prince, and served as the head of the public for generations, and now the Shogunate is in trouble, and it is the time for my Kira Saburo to rise up and help the Shogunate! His Royal Highness the former Duke gave me the name of Saburo as a reward, and my Saburo couldn't retreat at this time. ”

"Manmatsu Maru...... You! Zhongyuan Tongwei trembled with anger, he really didn't expect this little nephew who was only a few years old to be so stubborn, the expression on his face was sunny and white for a while, and he tried his best to endure the anger that was about to erupt.

"Wan Songmaru, your uncle and I are for your own good, how can you talk to us like that!" Fang Yutai was very angry, she was obviously very beautiful and cute, but she was stubborn and terrible, and it was very dangerous for her and her husband to come to Kyoto with thousands of people at such a young age.

"Tell me! Who taught you to do this? Who is this so vicious? This is to kill you, kill the Kira family! Zhongyuan Tong roared angrily, Ai Ji is the sister of his mother's compatriots, and the relationship between the two brothers and sisters has been very good since childhood, but Ai Ji has left him forever, as the only blood left by his sister, he has great enthusiasm, and even plans to adopt him as an adopted son.

But before these words came out, he ushered in such a big blow, someone wanted to kill Ai Ji's child, how could he not make this powerful man angry, he had already decided that someone was instigating him, in his eyes a child who was less than ten years old knew something, if no one instigated him, he would never be able to do this kind of thing.

He believed that Kira Manmatsumu must not know the inside story at such a young age, so he persuaded bitterly: "Do you know who His Royal Highness's enemy is?" It's Miyoshi Chikuzen Guard! Sanzhu has entered Luo this summer.,The former leader Hosokawa Harumoto forcibly captured the Imperial Palace and absconded with the public to Sakamoto.,The new leader is the Hosokawa clan that Mitsuki supports.,Can you fight Mitsuki with your ability? It's going to kill you! ”

"Father! I don't think so! The middle court Tongmiku suddenly blew up at Kira Manmatsumu, and said loudly: "Manmatsu Maru is right!" Now that the imperial court is collapsing, and the shogunate building is about to collapse, it is the time when loyal and righteous people loyal to the imperial court and the shogunate need to stand up, so ......"

"Shut up!" The middle court generally interrupted his son rudely, "What do you young people know? The army of Sanzhu is unstoppable, and the three good Dao Sects can't be stopped, and you can't stop it either! None of the people who fought against Mitsuki were unharmed! Did you know? ”

"But ......"

"Nothing! Tongmi, you should go to study the "Ancient and Modern Songs", and check your schoolwork tomorrow, so don't hurry up! Fang Yutai hurriedly gave his son a look, and the latter could only get up and leave with a look of chagrin.

"Your uncle and I want you to stay, and all the entourage in Sakamoto will be dismissed! Those warriors can't stop Sanzuki, and the peasant soldiers you recruited can't stop either, so don't go back, so I'll order my subordinates to inform your disciples to disperse. Fang Yutai stood up, as if he really wanted to do this.

"Nope! My retinue is not a peasant soldier, it is 1,500 Mikawa elites, uncle don't have to worry, Sanzhu will not go too far with His Royal Highness, and support the new leader to serve as the leader himself, isn't this exactly what Sanzhu means to compromise? His Royal Highness is lacking force at this time, and with the support of my Mikawa samurai, Mitsuki will definitely consider it seriously. ”

"Fifteen hundred elite...... Can you afford to raise so many people? Do you know what you're doing right now? Yes! It's really annoying to me! Zhongyuan was so angry that he almost threw his head up, and a group of maids hurriedly supported the governor, and after a while he gasped and said, "Forget it!" I can't control it, what do you want to do! ”

Kira Manmatsumu felt a little guilty, and seeing that his aunt's face was very ugly, he blamed himself and said, "Uncle, uncle, please don't be angry!" I, Wan Songmaru, am not a person who doesn't know what to do, and I must remember the kindness of the two, but I have my own reasons, please understand!

"Tell me, where did you hear that you just said that Mitsuki intends to achieve peace?" Once he stopped dwelling on the question of going and staying, the Intermediate People's Court regained the minister's keen political sense.

Kira Manmatsumu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and followed his topic and said: "Supporting the Hosokawa clan as the new ruler and appointing himself as the leader of the throne all shows that the Miyoshi family does not intend to completely turn their faces, and harmony must be achieved, and without the support of the general, it is not justified for Mitsuki to rule." ”

"But Sanzhu still wants to scare the public side, and then take the initiative to reach harmony! Do you think His Royal Highness will agree? "The Intermediate Court has surprising political acumen and raises questions that even Kira Manmatsumu can't justify for a while.

Then the Intermediate Court Tongwei asked a more acute question: "The people of are waiting and seeing, whether the three tsuki are unstoppable and let the general give in again, or the general will bear the pressure and let the three tsuki give in, this process is very dangerous, are you sure you want to stand on the side of His Royal Highness?" ”

Realizing that this uncle who loved him was not an ordinary minister, and he couldn't convince him without some real materials, so Kira Manmatsumaru could only throw out his belly manuscript: "Yes, I, Kira Saburo, have decided to recover the family business, and I must overcome the mountain of Mitsuki!" Mitsuki's army is besieging Itami Castle in Settsu and determined to take Settsu Province in one fell swoop, and the Imperial Palace and His Royal Highness are busy building Nakao Castle. ”

"If you know! Do it for yourself! Zhongyuan Tongwei was silent for a moment, then got up and left the big wide room.

Note: The source of the six rivers is very famous, Ishida Sancheng was beheaded here, usually everyone thinks that it is a very remote place, in fact, it is not the case, unlike Shangjing was occupied by nobles and wealthy merchants, Xiajing is a dense area where Kyoto townspeople live, every time the source of the six rivers beheaded the capital, there will be many townspeople and passing merchants and onlookers, just like the ancient Chinese Caishikou execution ground is a truth, there is no onlookers if the population is not dense, and there is no onlookers to set an example.
