Kira Yoshitoki called several commissioners to the castle tower to praise them one by one, and when it came to the great changes in the castle town, Kira Yoshitoki was very happy and said, "This is all the credit of His Royal Highness Fujitaka!" If my family does it, I'm afraid it will be half the effort! ”

"Thanks to His Highness Sakamoto's blessing! The successive victories brought about the prestige of our shogunate, and the residents of Sakamoto Joshita Town rejoiced, and we and others were able to smoothly put the castle town in order. Hosokawa Fujitaka modestly put the credit on Yoshitoki Kira, which made him very happy.

In fact, everyone present knew that this credit had little to do with Kira Yoshitoki, and it had been less than a month since the Battle of Fukakusa in early August, and there was no prestige for more than a month before, all thanks to the unremitting efforts of Hosokawa Fujitaka, Matsui Tomokan, Odate Harutada, Ninagawa Kinaga, Ina Tadashi and others.

"Our family has already made it clear to His Royal Highness the Prince, and you have been transferred to be the official of the family, and His Royal Highness the Princely has agreed, and we will be a family in the future! Hehehe......" Ji Liangyi glanced at it for a while, and found that the expressions of several people stiffened, and said with a smile: "As the governor of the family, this family should also reward the loyalty of the kings...... Well! Let's reward each of you with 100 articles! ”

"Thank you, Lord for your grace!" The Ina Tadashi family took the lead in bowing down, he was the one with the least mental burden, the other four looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and could only bow down in turn and bowed: "I have waited to thank the hall master for his grace!" ”

A few of them also knew that Kira Yoshishi had no good intentions when he arranged for them to do all kinds of things in Sakamoto Castle, and originally they also had many ways to refrain from the Kira family's request for office, and even like Hosokawa Fujitaka, they had already thought of a way to get out as soon as possible, but it was a pity that no one calculated that they could win the Miyoshi family when they were lucky, and they also killed Shikawa Ichicun, Noguchi Dongcho, and captured Miyoshi Nagayi alive.

This time they will be embarrassed, not to mention that some people will say that they don't know how to lift, and Ashikaga Yoshito can't agree, when they pray for a miracle, the most worrying thing is still coming, Kira Yoshitoki found His Royal Highness the Shogunate to leave them as retainers, and a few of them directly became shogunate ministers and demoted to shogunate courtiers, the gap is huge, and they can't be blamed for their reluctance.

"You must think that this family is doing this too much, right?" Kira Yoshitoki sighed and felt the need to make it clear, "You also know the situation of the shogunate, the Yamashiro country has just been recaptured, and the imperial palace of the princess and the imperial court and the temple has just arrived, and the annual tribute for the autumn harvest will be much better, but it is only slightly better, and the war will continue to be fought in the future, the shogunate needs to use money and food, and the family needs to use talents, if you keep thinking about running back to the shogunate to be a nobleman, you will not be able to help the shogunate, but it will also damage the foundation of the family in Sakamoto."

Sakamoto is the only source of wealth for the family, and it is also the only support for the shogunate's strong army, no matter what, there can be no fault in Sakamoto Castle, you are all the top talents of the shogunate, regardless of family background or ability and knowledge, if you refuse to assist the family to protect the shogunate for your own selfishness, then how will the shogunate help in the future? How long can these hands be held by the family? ”

"I'll get it! From today onwards, we will do our best to be loyal to the owner, and I will leave Sakamoto's affairs to us! Several people hung their heads in shame, and it seemed that this bitter exhortation was still effective.

"Hmmm! I hope you can put aside your prejudices, don't care about the difference between direct ministers and courtiers, don't feel that you are a little shorter than your former colleagues, we are all for the shogunate, for the sake of my Genji's samurai career, if the diligent and loyal people are still ridiculed, then what should the world think of our samurai? What are our faces? If you want to understand these problems, you should work hard to serve your family! My family will always be watching you! ”

"Yes! I'm leaving! Hosokawa Fujitaka and others were said to be sitting on pins and needles, eager to rush out to do things now, and when they got up to leave, their movements seemed very hurried, looking at their departing backs, Kira Yoshishi sighed lightly: "Don't blame the family, it is really forced by the world, if you don't go upstream, you can only end up ruining the family and the country, and the family is walking a dangerous road in Huashan, and if you don't win, you will die!" If you don't prosper, you die! ”

Solving the problems of several shogunate ministers, Kira Yoshitoki was finally able to lie down and rest, and the spirit that had been tense for several months suddenly relaxed, and the whole person slept in the dark as if he had no bones, and when he woke up in a daze, he found that the sky seemed to be much darker.

"Hmm! What's wrong with me? "I just wanted to sit up and found that my whole body was sore, and my head was groggy and my whole body couldn't lift any strength.

"Your Highness! Don't move! You're sick and just got off the fever last night. ”

"Is it Aju? How am I sick? Obviously fine, how could he suddenly get sick? "Ji Liangyi is a little ignorant, his body has always been very good, he has hardly been sick since he was a child, except for being lazy in cultivation, his physical fitness is absolutely stable and stable most of his peers in this era, which is also what he has always been proud of.

"Your Highness is very sick with a cold and cold, and you only wake up after a day of sleep, but fortunately, Your Highness Mori Qu Naase has a little medical skills and prescribes a pair of medicine for His Highness, so you can get better so quickly." Ah Ju looked at him worriedly.

"That's right! I guess it's because I'm overdrawn! "Originally, a nine-year-old child, suddenly put a heavy burden on him, and every day he calculated how to revive the family business, planned how to plan a territory to feed thousands of mouths of food and drink, and had to worry about dealing with the unconscious Ashikaga Yoshito for the shogunate, this nearly a year of pressure can be imagined how great his pressure is.

Ah Ju stuffed the shaken velvet blanket for him, and said with concern: "Your Highness lies down and recuperates with peace of mind, as long as you rest for a few days, you will recover!" His Royal Highness Kansuke has also come to see you, and he wants His Highness to resume the course of training in the art of war after recovery, and His Highness Kansuke said that no matter what, His Highness's body has not yet grown, and cultivation is the only way to strengthen his body. ”

"Uh, do you still want to cultivate? All right! I'll just cultivate! As soon as he saw Aju's worried look, Kira Yoshishi suddenly lost his mind, Aju has been playing with him since he was a child, and he is the closest person except for his mother, even Katsuhime doesn't necessarily know him better than Aju, and Aju is powerless to refuse when he asks Kirayoshi.

Kira Yoshitoki spent the last few days of August lying on the couch, and the summer harvest was coming to an end, and the autumn was a good day to go outdoors.

"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've been to the Sakamoto Imperial Palace to visit Katsuhime, so why don't Aju accompany me to see Katsuhime!" Kira Yoshitoki left this reason, and pulled Aju to take twenty people to the palace not far from Sakamoto Castle, and just arrived at the gate of the palace, Kira Yoshitoki and his party of more than 20 people were stopped, and several people dressed as samurai at the head of the group told him very politely that outsiders were not allowed to enter the imperial palace of the shogunate.

The little surname of the Kira family stepped forward and shouted, "Hey! See clearly that this is the imperial flag of the Ashikaga family! Stopping His Highness Sakamoto, can you take responsibility? ”

"Sorry! I'm sorry! Several samurai hurriedly stepped aside, letting the people of the Kira family pass, Kira Yoshitoki glanced at their family crest, and guessed that they were from the Yamashiro Bun Public, Ashikaga Yoshito has not made any moves in the past few months, and it is not difficult to win over a few samurai who originally belonged to the Shogunate from the Yamashiro Country.

"What happened?" Several samurai ran out of the palace, their clothes and materials were slightly different from those of the mountain castle officials guarding outside the palace, and when the leader saw Kira Yoshito, he hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Fujita Nobita see His Royal Highness Sakamoto!" ”
