The repair job of the imperial court official position is the department that manages the repair and construction of the palace separately from the carpentry liao, in which the repair doctor is the chief, the repair Liang is the deputy official, and the repair judge (the official hall is divided into the prefect, the deputy official, the judge, the chief official and the subordinate officials). Of course, due to the growing weakness of the imperial court and the shogunate, the fact that the imperial court gave you a position of repair did not mean that you had to manage the repair and construction of the palace, and now it was just a status symbol.

Historically, when Oda Nobunaga was in Karoku, he applied for the position of repairing Ryo for Shibata Katsuie. Later, Hideyoshi's retainer Wasuka Masakatsu was appointed as a repair doctor, and Aoyama Munekatsu was appointed as a repair ryo. And at this time next year, Shimazu Takahisa will also get the position of repair doctor through the Konoe family, and now he has been given to Masarashi by the imperial court in advance, and I don't know what Shimazu Takahisa's official position will be replaced with.

Of course, out of some kind of intention of the Imperial Shogunate, it is also possible that the same position will be awarded to Shimazu Takahisa. When the time comes, it will depend on whether Takahisa Shimazu has the courage to hold the same position as Masashi.

In terms of rank, the repair doctor belongs to the official position of the four lower ranks, which is the same rank as the official position of Dazai Daiji of Ouchi Yoshitaka. In addition, in order to avoid getting caught up in a dispute between the Luo family and the Ouchi family, the imperial court and the shogunate, as always, did not respond to the Luo family's application for the official positions of the imperial court and shogunate in Chikuzen and Bungo provinces. All of this was clearly a balancing act between the imperial court and the shogunate.

Of course, this time, the Luo family made such a rich tribute to the imperial court and the shogunate, and they did not say that it would be okay.

The Emperor is responsible for the official duties of the Imperial Court. Masara's original official positions were Dazai Shaoji (one rank lower than Dazai Daiji) on the top five ranks, and Hizen Mamoru from the bottom of the five.

In terms of the shogun's official position, Masarashi's original official position was Hizen Guardian.

This time, the imperial court finally granted the Luo family's long-applied for from the five lower Chikuhou Shou and Higo Shou to Masahiro. As for the shogunate, Chikugo Guardian and Higo Guardian were also awarded to Masarashi. For the post of Higo Guardian. Previously, the Luo family and the Otomo family had been fighting. Now the Otomo family is in decline. The Imperial Court and the Shogunate had to keep up with the times and support the Luo family instead.

As for the position of guardian in each place, both the imperial court and the shogunate simply turned a blind eye and no longer cared about it (anyway, the daimyo in each place were appointed by themselves).

In addition to adjusting the official position of Masarashi himself, the imperial court and the shogunate also knew that their move to balance the proportion of official positions in the imperial court between the Luo family and the Ouchi family (in fact, Ouchi Yoshitaka also received the post of Western Kingdom Detective) would make the Luo family dissatisfied, so they also granted some additional official positions to the people around Masarashi to appease the anger of the Luo family.

Thereinto. Masarashi's sister-in-law, Karao Maru, was promoted from the seventh rank of the second lieutenant of Saemon to the sixth rank of the second lieutenant of the Left Guard, and the original position of second lieutenant of Saemon was granted to Masahiro's second son, Song Wangmaru. Masarashi didn't know if the children of the Mitomo of Makamichi would be able to get an official position (it is estimated that there was, at least the political conscience of Masatomo Otomo Yoshijin received the official position of Chikuzen Guardian when he was six years old), but it can be seen from here that the imperial court and the shogunate did everything to get the financial support of the daimyo in various places.

After the determination of the Luo family, the old Togo Heiji of the public and family was repaired from the fifth position, the old Kinoshita Masanao of the public and the family won the military department under the sixth position, and the old Yoshida Shigemasa of the public family won the criminal department under the sixth position.

In terms of official positions, some retainers once suggested that Masashi apply for the position of Kyushu Detective, but after Masayo discussed with the important ministers, he decided to postpone his application for this position. After all, it is not appropriate for the Luo family to be too publicistic at this time. So as not to arouse the vigilance of the surrounding daimyos, and even unite to deal with the Luo family.

Generally. This time, the imperial court and the shogunate can be regarded as a bit of an official position. Of course, this time it was also hindered by some ministers who were friends with the Ouchi family and the Otomo family, and this result was also achieved thanks to the help of Konoe Maehisa, Nakagomon Nobuhide, and Kyogoku Takayoshi. This time, Kyogoku Takayoshi did not come to Kyushu because he had important business, which is also a pity. Now that there is a shortage of soldiers near Kyoto, I hope that Kyogoku Takayoshi will not be accidentally injured.

After taking a shower to wash off the dust, Konoe looked much more refreshed before the beginning. "I've kept the repairman waiting, so please forgive me." He walked into the living room, sat opposite Zhengliang and the others, and nodded slightly to apologize, "I was also relieved after taking a bath!" ”

"Your Excellency, you don't have to be polite." Zhengliang returned the salute, and then clapped his hands: "The banquet has been prepared, please dine." ”

The door of the living room was opened, and the maid bowed outside, and then came in with food, which was respectfully placed in front of several adults in the room, namely: pickled vegetables, vegetable soup, roasted divine melon, dried radish, braised sea fish, and rice.

"Shhh Although he had heard Kyogoku Takayoshi say before he came that the Luo family's banquet for the public was full of food, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, he couldn't help but be deeply shocked. And the Zhongyumen Xuanxiu beside him also had the same expression.

"Repair Doctor, this? It's too polite too. Konoe Maehisa was grateful, and picked up a little fish meat with his chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and savored it.

"It's delicious, I almost swallowed it with my tongue, and the delicate and smooth feeling is like a girl's skin." Experiencing this wonderful feeling, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but burst into tears. The life of the Kyoto court and the shogunate was hard, if it weren't for the emperor smashing pots and selling iron land, officials and paintings, it is estimated that everyone in the palace would have starved to death. As for the shogun, it was even worse, the turmoil in Kyoto in the past few years has almost made him a refugee, always fleeing and fleeing, and the hardships during the period naturally do not need to be explained. Now that he has tasted such a delicious taste in his own mouth, he is naturally overwhelmed.

When he was full of wine and food, he gently wiped his lips with a handkerchief and enjoyed the charm after eating: "Master Repair Doctor, if Lord Jinggoku Gaoji in Beijing knows the hospitality that Lu Dao has received, I am afraid he will be very jealous!" Hehehe"

After the dining table was removed, he chuckled and used a small folding fan as the main mouth, and said, "I came to Fei to play before the pass, but I only got the errand when I squeezed the Lord Kyogoku Takayoshi away!" Hehehe! ”

Masara listened to him with ease, like a joke. Obviously, he is not familiar with Kyogoku Takayoshi. also said with a smile: "I am fortunate to make friends with Lord Kyogoku Takayoshi." He is a generous man, and he will not be jealous of small things. ”

"Speaking of the previous tributes from the repair doctor, the whole palace must thank Your Excellency for your generosity! The inferior people have also received the favor of the repair doctor! Konoe Qianjiu's eyes were crooked with a smile, "After that, Quan Da said that Lord Mimon Xuanyin said every day that Master Repair was a person worth befriending. This time he was given an official position, and he also made a lot of effort in it. And this time, he also sent Lord Nobuhide of the Middle Gate to accompany him, and he came to Hizen to express his gratitude to the repair doctor. ”

"The loyalty of the repair doctor to the imperial court is really a testament to the sun and the moon!" Xuanxiu of the Middle Imperial Gate on the side also immediately saw the opportunity to speak.

"Your Excellency is really overrated!" Zhengliang straightened his waist and said with a sense of "righteousness", "It is the duty of my generation of warriors to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, and the Luo family will do their best to serve the emperor!" ”

"The Repair Doctor's loyalty. His Majesty the Emperor and his father are naturally very clear, and before leaving, His Majesty the Emperor is also looking forward to seeing the teacher of the Loyal and Diligent King of the Repair Doctor as soon as possible! Zhongyumen Xuanxiu said again.

Not again. Masara really can't understand why the imperial court and the shogunate always want the Luo family to be able to go to Luo, but even if the Luo family has the intention of going to Luo, I'm afraid it won't be easy. From a geographical point of view, if the Luo family wants to go to Luo, there are only three paths to take.

The first is to reach Sakai Town directly via the Seto Inland Sea and Banbantan, or via the two sea routes of Tosawan, Awaji Waterway, and Kii Suido in the Shikoku region, and then enter Beijing by land.

Article 2. It is from Bungo Province and lands in Shikoku via the Bungo Waterway. Then, by land, it passed through Iyo Province, Zanki Province and other places, using Shikoku as a springboard, and then entered the region.

The third route is to enter the western region of Honshu Island from Bunzen Province in northern Kyushu, and then follow the land route of Shuho Province, Aki Province, and Bigo Province to Kyoto. This is the route of the Kamiraku of Yoshitaka Ouchi's father, Yoshiko Ouchi.

On the surface, the first sea route is the quickest. However, there are a lot of potential forces along these sea routes, and once the Luo family goes to Luo, they will inevitably be blocked by these potential forces. And even if the Luo family was able to succeed in Kamirako in the end, due to the distance from Kyushu's own territory, it was easy to make the mistake that Ouchi Yoshiko made at the beginning (after staying in Kyoto for a few years, due to the distance from the territory and the lack of control over the territory, the surrounding daimyo such as the Niko family and the Otomo family continued to infringe on the Ouchi family's territory, and finally had to decide to leave Kyoto and return to Zhoufang). As a result, shortly after returning home, he fell ill and died on the way to Anyi).

As for the other two roads, it is a road full of thorns and blood, and the current Luo family is not ready to go to Luo in terms of military or internal affairs, if it is hot-headed and obeys the instigation of the imperial court and the shogunate, then the Luo family is not far from extinction.

The imperial court and the shogunate are so active in encouraging the powerful daimyo Kamira, naturally hoping that they can quickly get out of the clutches of the Hosokawa family, and now under the rule of the Hosokawa family, they live an extremely miserable life, and most of the power is almost controlled by the Hosokawa family, they have a feeling that their fate is under control, and they are very uncomfortable. Therefore, in order to break away from the demon's grasp, they have already instigated a lot of power to go up.

Of course, among the forces that do not agitate, Miyoshi is the first to be excluded. In the eyes of the imperial court and the shogunate, although the Miyoshi family is currently the best candidate for Kamiraku, and it is also the most recent candidate, but in their opinion, the Miyoshi family, like the Hosokawa family, is not a good bird, once the Miyoshi family takes control of Kyoto, they will still live the same life as before, so the last thing they want is for the Miyoshi family to enter the Kyoto area (but history proves that their hope will soon be disappointed).

Hexagonal home. It was also a good choice as a Rokkaku who had always maintained a good relationship with the Imperial Shogunate. It's just that the Roxagonal family doesn't want to have a bad relationship with the Hosokawa family and the Miyoshi family, so as to consume its strength, so although the Roxagonal family has the heart of Shangluo, they don't actually make any moves. In the eyes of the imperial court and the shogunate, from the bottom of their hearts, they actually didn't really want the Rokkaku family to go to Luo. The main reason was that the Rokkaku clan was in Omi Province, which was too close to Kyoto, which was conducive to the Rokkaku clan to strengthen its rule over its territory and the Kyoto area, but it was not conducive to the rule of the Imperial Shogunate. Once the Rokkaku family grows stronger, it is likely to be another Hosokawa family.

It is precisely because of this consideration that the Imperial Shogunate actually preferred some territories to stay away from Kyoto and not be able to establish a strong rule over Kyoto.

As the best candidate to consider based on this, it is natural to be the Echizen Hancang family. The Asakura family is a descendant of Emperor Xiaode and Kaihua, and from the perspective of blood, it can be regarded as a relative of the emperor, and the Asakura family is a powerful daimyo in Echizen Province, and it is not far from the Kyoto area, so it is naturally a candidate for the upper rank of Kamiraku.

However, the enthusiasm of the shogunate and the imperial court did not receive a positive response from the new governor of the Asakura family, Asakura Nobuyi (who later accepted the name of Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the general of the Seiyi Army, and changed his name to Asakura Yoshikei). At this time, Asakura Yanjing was intoxicated with the constant snow appreciation, flower appreciation, song parties and other wines, and he was not interested in Shangluo at all.

On the eastern side, the Takeda family is making every effort to conquer the Shinano region, while the Echigo Nagao family has just recovered from civil strife, and the new family governor Nagao Keitora is still consolidating the family's strength. As for the Imagawa family in Tokaido, they are still entangled with the Oda family in Owari. It is impossible to count on Kamiraku, the daimyo of the eastern country.

In the western country, the only ones that made the imperial court and the shogunate look at it were the Otomo family, the Ouchi family, and the Luo family.

It's just that the Otomo family is now almost disabled by the Luo family, and they have completely lost their qualifications to go to Luo. The Ouchi family is caught in a situation where they are fighting with the Niko family and the Luo family on the east and west sides respectively, and there is also a lesson from Ouchi Yoshixing, Ouchi Yoshitaka naturally doesn't care much about Kamiraku, but he hopes to make a small Kyoto under the Ouchi Pavilion in the city. The only thing left is the Luo family, the current number one overlord in Kyushu. That's why the envoys of the imperial court and the shogunate constantly encouraged the Luo family to go to Luo.

But Masashi is not a person who can be easily agitated, when he saw that the two of them began to agitate the Luo family again, Masahiro immediately said: "Your Excellency! The disadvantages are really powerless! At present, the Luo family is surrounded by enemies, and in the north, there are the embarrassed Yoshitaka Ouchi and Yoshizhen Otomo; To the south and west, pirates from the sea invade from time to time; To the southeast, there is Yoshisuke Ito, who is in collusion with the Otomo family; The four powerful countries in the east are also eyeing Kyushu; The family is also not stable under the instigation of well-intentioned people. In the last ......, "a round of crackling, I repeated the words of a Shenglong when he met the imperial envoy in Kyoto.

"I'm afraid the repairman doesn't know. Some time ago, His Majesty the Emperor and the Shogun seemed to be discussing whether to increase the number of imperial entourage. Seeing that he couldn't get a clear answer from Zhengliang, Zhongyumen Xuanxiu said suddenly.

"Oh?" Sure enough, this sentence immediately attracted the attention of Zhengliang. (To be continued......)
