Chapter 917: Clever Man
For the cunning behavior of the Maori family secretly instigating a riot in the Luo family's territory, Zhengliang is determined to retaliate. Although the governor of the Niko family, Niko Haruhisa, was sick in bed, and was asked to suspend the conflict with the Maori family at the request of the envoy of the Ishiyama Gobo sect in Osaka, but since receiving the invitation of the Luo family to jointly attack the Maori family, the Niko family has been secretly preparing to attack the Maori family.
It is precisely because of the intention to take revenge on the Maori family, so after returning to Yamaguchi Castle, after holding the ceremony of accepting the relevant official rewards of the emperor and the shogunate brought by Kyogoku Takayoshi with peace of mind, Masara directly stated to Kyogoku Takayoshi that after the ceremony, friends only talk about private matters and do not talk about official affairs, so as not to bring up the topic of peace with the Mori family (after all, if it is said explicitly, this is a bit disregard for the face of the emperor and the shogunate represented by Kyogoku Takayoshi, although the two have no rights at this time, But if the relationship with them is stiffened, it will also be suppressed in righteousness).
In order to divert Kyogoku Takayoshi's attention, Masarashi first took Kyogoku Takayoshi to visit Yamaguchi Castle. Kyogoku Takayoshi also seems to be aware that Masayoshi is deliberately not talking about peace with the Maori family (as for how the Luo family governor knew about this issue?). Naturally, the Luo family's power in Kyoto informed the family governor in advance. Kyogoku Takayoshi is very clear about this). Originally, he was a little dissatisfied with Masara's attitude towards the emperor and the shogunate, but when he thought about it, he understood it again.
Judging from what he had learned on his way to Yamaguchi Castle before, it seemed that there had been a riot in the territory of the Western Kingdom in the Luo family this time, and it seemed that there was a shadow of the Maori family in the instigation of the riot. In such cases. The Mori family even planned to let the emperor and the shogunate act as intermediaries. Promote the Luo family not to take revenge on the Maori family. Is this possible? No wonder the governor of the Luo family was annoyed and didn't even want to mention this topic.
As for the emperor and the shogunate, Emperor Go-Nara was sick in bed at this time, and those people in the palace were even preparing to select the emperor's heir, so Emperor Go-Nara at this time couldn't pay attention to this matter at all. As for the shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru. It is also because of the benefits of the Maori family that he will have this trip.
It's just that just relying on the official positions awarded by the previous imperial court and the shogunate, I hope to appease the anger of the Luo family because they can't get the nominal ownership of An Yi country, and accept the mediation between the imperial court and the shogunate, and negotiate peace with the Maori family who assassinated the Luo family? Even from the perspective of the Maori family, the Luo family had previously caused the Maori family to lose their troops in the First Battle of Itsukushima, and even invaded the territory of the Ouchi family, the suzeraint head of the Maori family, and even more hatefully, they even invaded the Maori family's sphere of influence in Aki Province and Bigo Province. Therefore, the Maori family's assassination of the Luo family is just a counterattack. But who can tell who is right and who is wrong in such a thing?
In Kyogoku Takayoshi's view, in such a situation. Whoever has the big fist is right. From the point of view of the imperial court and the shogunate, it seems that the strength of the Luo family and the Mori family is comparable. But is that really the case? At least in Kyogoku Takayoshi's opinion, the Luo family's fist was much bigger and harder, and the imperial court and the shogunate planned to mediate such a matter to restore their prestige, which was obviously wrong, and even counterproductive, at least for now, offending the Luo family. In this case, he Jingji Gaoji is too lazy to be a villain, it is better to let the Luo family arrange it, as for the affairs of the Maori family, as long as the Luo family does not take the initiative to mention it, he simply does not make a sound.
Of course, Masara didn't know that in just such a short period of time, Kyogoku Takayoshi had completely seen through the affairs of the Luo family and the Maori family. So, he took Kyogoku Takayoshi to visit the main castle of Yamaguchi Castle, Nido Castle, Arrow Warehouse, Rice Warehouse, Armory, and other places, and this arrangement can have two meanings. One implication is that Masashi did not take the Maori family seriously at all; Another meaning is that Masarashi did not hide anything from the imperial court and the shogunate, and figured out that Guò Kyogoku Takayoshi made it clear to the imperial court and the shogunate that the Luo family had decided to fight against the Mori family, and the topic of peace should not be mentioned.
When he visited a courtyard, Masayo pointed with a fan, "That's the residence of many families of the Ouchi family. ”
Kyogoku Takayoshi let out an "oh" and stopped.
"These family members of the Ouchi family have been treated very well since their family became the owner here, and the Luo family will always support these family members." Masara continued. Masarashi stated that he wanted to maintain close relations with the imperial court and the shogunate. The Yamaguchi area was home to many literati and ministers, and these scholars and ministers had various connections with the Kyoto Imperial Court and the Shogunate. More importantly, the Ouchi family has always had a deep relationship with these ministers and the imperial court and shogunate in Kyoto, and the most prominent expression is that many of the family members of these Ouchi families are related to those ministers and the imperial court and shogunate in Kyoto. It was through Guò's way of treating these family members that he expressed his goodwill to the imperial court and the shogunate, making it clear that he did not want the disagreement between the two sides to stiffen the relationship this time.
And Kyogoku Takayoshi also instantly understood what Masayoshi meant, and immediately told Masara that after returning to Kyoto, he would definitely report the situation of these family members to the emperor and shogun truthfully.
Since Kyogoku Takayoshi is so good at being a man, Masara is naturally quite happy, and after entertaining Kyogoku Takayoshi for a few days, he also sent someone to escort Kyogoku Takayoshi to the territory of the Luo family in Kyushu to play.
After sending Kyogoku Takayoshi away, Masarashi personally sat in Yamaguchi Castle, commanding various teams to quell the rebellion in the territory of the Western Province, and personally convening the heads of the Ro's house, the Interior Cabinet, and some of the heads of the merchant houses who had business relations with the Ro's family, and held a business meeting in Yamaguchi Castle. The main purpose of this business meeting was to establish a more robust internal business system of the Roche family. This time, the participants included Togo Heiji, a representative of the Cabinet of Internal Affairs, Tai Jiuling, a representative of Luo's house, Wang Hai, a businessman of the Ming Kingdom, Zuo Moyang, a businessman of the Ming Kingdom, You Jianxia, a businessman of the Ming Kingdom, Karur, a representative of Zhu Qinfeng, a representative of the Nanban businessman, and local businessmen Yudaya, Imada Nobuya, and Shimai Muneshige.
After more than ten years of development, the Luo family has established a relatively complete industrial and agricultural system, and these two systems have promoted the development of the commercial system of the Luo family's territory to a certain extent, but there have also been many problems during this period.
