In September of the twentieth year of astronomy, it was already the autumn harvest season. Leaders from all over the country have thrown themselves into the autumn harvest.

At the Ouchi Pavilion at the Zhoubo Pass, Yoshitaka Ouchi was sitting in the main hall, enjoying the songs and dances in the courtyard with great interest. It is said that this song and dance was once popular in the Kyoto area from the castle to every village. People call it the "Incredible Dance" or "Merry Dance". It is said that at first, villagers gathered in Hachiman Village to dance. After that, it quickly became popular in other villages. Lookouts are erected, fires are lit, drummers and trumpeters stand in the center, and dancers form a circle. At first, the dancers were mainly young men and women, and soon they were joined by men, women and children. By August and September, almost all the villages are immersed in frenzied dancing, and the dancers are dressed in dazzling silk satin.

Seeing the people reveling all night long, the samurai were also affected and unconsciously enjoyed it. Later, people began to have wild sex at will, regardless of the occasion, and even fornicated in broad daylight. At this time, this dance was brought to the Ouchi Pavilion by Nijo Yinfang and was welcomed by Yoshitaka Ouchi.

"War is boring. One will be a success! It's better to sing and dance while you're alive. ”

"Yes, only the dancers know how to enjoy it." Hearing Yoshitaka Ouchi's impromptu exclamation, the down-and-out ministers around him also echoed.

"What's the point of this dance? Unreasonable. It's just that in the midst of the praise around him, Mori Moto, who was sitting on the other side of the Fuji, had no interest in this kind of dance, and if he hadn't been forcibly invited by Yoshitaka Ouchi, he wouldn't have appeared here at all. To be honest, Mori has recently been dissatisfied with Yoshitaka Ouchi's absurd behavior. Is this still the ambitious Western country exploration topic Ouchi Suke at the beginning?

"My lord, it's because I dance during the day. Come and see it at night. When people can't see each other's faces clearly. Adults can't help but get involved. A minister next to him introduced.

"Oh!" I saw that my own self-talk was heard by the person next to me. Mao Liyuan quickly closed his mouth, although he looked down on these down-and-out ministers very much in his heart, but being able to befriend them could also increase his reputation a lot, so Mao Liyuan did not intend to debate with them about the quality of these dances, but immediately pretended to watch the dances with great interest. After seeing Mao Liyuan's words, several ministers on the side began to study these dances carefully, and they couldn't help but have a great change in their impression of Maori Yuan.

"Huh?" At this moment, Mao Liyuan suddenly found that Ryosen Takatsu hurriedly ran to Ouchi Yoshitaka and whispered, and the latter stood up with a bang after listening to Lengquan Takatsu's report. Then hurried to the backyard. Seeing such a situation, Mao Liyuan first frowned and thought for a while, and then his eyes turned as if he had thought of something, so he immediately apologized to the people around him and said, "Everyone, I'm really sorry, I have an urgent matter to see Lord Ouchisuke, and I am not with you." After saying that, he saluted the people around him again and then got up and left. It's just that the direction he went was not the backyard where Yoshitaka Ouchi was, but in the direction of the gate of the Ouchi Pavilion.

"What a person without Yaxing!" The ministers around him, who had just changed his impression of Maori Yuan, immediately said.

Mao Liyuan, who had not gone far, naturally heard the words of these ministers, but after he scolded "stupid" in his heart. Without changing his face, he quickened the pace of leaving.

Just as Mori Yuan was leaving in a hurry, Yoshitaka Ouchi was hesitating in a secret room in the backyard.

"What you said is true?"

"My lord. It's true, the detective of this family has already seen Tao Longfang leading thousands of people from the Jucheng Futian Ruoshan Castle to come here. Cold Spring Longfeng anxiously confirmed.

"Impossible." At this time, Yoshitaka Ouchi still didn't believe that Tao Longfang would rebel. In fact, before today, Sagara Takeren and Qingjing Takashi had successively told him that there were signs of rebellion in Tao Longfang, so Ouchi Yoshitaka immediately sent someone to reprimand Tao Longfang and asked him if he wanted to rebel, but Tao Longfang actually did not have a rebellion at this time, so after coming and going, Ouchi Yoshitaka did not take the report of Tao Longfang's rebellion seriously.

Why did Yoshitaka Ouchi treat Tao Takabo with direct questioning? This is mainly because the relationship between Yoshitaka Ouchi and Tao Takafang is not simple. It can be said that when they were young, they came from the "way".

"Zhongdao" is homosexuality, but it is not exactly the same as homosexuality, and the "Zhongdao" in the Japanese language is also called "Ruozhong Dao", or "Ruodao", which refers to the same-sex relationship between the master and the beautiful boy (generally the son of a boy or a retainer, if it means young in the Japanese language), so you don't expect a beard, and you can get the master's memory or something. "All the ways" were introduced to Japan with Buddhism, and the earliest practitioners were still monks, because monks were to abide by the precepts, and those who were not close to women were called "female prisoners" when they were close to women. However, Comrade monks also have needs, and they also want to have sex, they can't be "female prisoners", they can be "male prisoners". So a group of monks stood at the gate of the temple, and when they saw a beautiful boy on the street, they led them to the temple with a smile, "Children, do you want to eat lollipops?" ”

As soon as this wind opened, it quickly spread to the aristocratic and ministerial class, and by the way, it infected the samurai class, and as a result, it was out of control in the Middle Ages of the Wa Kingdom. In the Muromachi Warring States period, it was especially popular with the samurai class, and historically, such as the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimochi and Ashikaga Yoshikyo, they were more or less lovers of the way, and these samurai were especially fond of the way, not only for sexual orientation considerations, but also for political purposes.

As we all know, the samurai were originally formed according to blood relations, but later with the growth of power, they gradually became a geographical kingdom, and the supreme ruler of this kingdom was called the daimyo, and the base of the daimyo's rule was called the retainers. The retainers are inseparable from the support of the daimyo, and correspondingly, the daimyo cannot do without the support of the retainers. So, if the daimyo wants to form a cohesive and combative group with his retainers, what better way to act as a lubricant than sex? Therefore, in order to cultivate loyal retainers, many daimyo decided to start with dolls, first select smart and beautiful young men from among the descendants of the retainers, and put them by their own side, provide them with a "full-time complete service", and cultivate the relationship between master and servant, and also teach them the knowledge of marching and fighting wars and handling government affairs. Such teenagers, generally called "kossa", took care of the daimyo's diet and daily life when they were still young, and served as the daimyo's personal guards when they went to battle. When the "small surname" becomes the "old surname", he will be sent by the daimyo, no, he will be sent to serve as an army general, administrative bureaucrat, etc., and act as the backbone of the daimyo.

When he was still young and beautiful, Tao Longfang was also a small surname of Ouchi Yoshitaka, and Tao Longfang even had a deep attachment to Ouchi Yoshitaka (it is estimated that this is also the reason why Tao Longfang hated Sagara Takeren, because his beloved things were snatched away by Sagara Takeshi, and he was snubbed, so he hated from love). It's a pity that Tao Longfang is now thirty years old, and he has long been old, and he definitely can't do anything with Ouchi Yoshitaka, but Ouchi Yoshitaka still misses Tao Longfang, although he wants to take the opportunity to cut the rights of their families, but he has no intention of exterminating them, so after receiving the report that Tao Longfang was going to rebel, Ouchi Yoshitaka not only did not secretly investigate, but also sent someone to directly question Tao Longfang. It is estimated that Tao Longfang really had such an idea in his heart, and under the repeated persecution of Yoshitaka Ouchi so directly, he simply really put it into action.

"Lord, hurry up and mobilize the army to meet the attack, the rebels will soon be killed here!" Seeing that Yoshitaka Ouchi was still hesitating there, Ryozumi Takatsu shouted loudly.

Leng Quan Takaho's loud shout immediately brought Ouchi Yoshitaka back to his senses, his eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "Yes, the order, end the banquet immediately, let all the people who participate in the banquet gather, and at the same time mobilize the army to fight together against the traitor Tao Longfang." ”

In Ouchi Yoshitaka's view, Tao Longfang's rebellion deeply hurt his heart, and he also firmly believed that with the strength of Ouchi Pavilion at this time, it was completely possible to extinguish Tao Long's rebellion. It's just that the confident Yoshitaka Ouchi knows there again, and today's banquet is already the last banquet in his life.
