"Brother, you said that Yuanfu means sharing your father's worries and serving the family." In the thirteenth year of astronomy, in April, on the seawall outside the Bungo Mansion, Hachiro, who was only twelve years old but had just been urgently subdued, and had changed his name from Otomo Haruei to Ouchi Yoshicho, said to his half-brother Otomo Yoshijin (that is, Otomo Sorin) who was standing aside.

"Hmm. Yes, after the Yuan service, he will become a man in the family, share his father's worries, serve the family, strive to start the battle as soon as possible, establish meritorious deeds, and convince the retainers. Otomo Yoshijin replied.

At this time, Otomo Yoshijin's expression was like an older brother who was caring for his younger brother, and he looked quite kind. But who would have thought that a few years later, when Ouchi Yoshicho inherited the Ouchi family, this kind brother took advantage of the opportunity of Tao Takafang to kill Ouchi Yoshitaka and set up Ouchi Yoshicho as a puppet, and directly sent troops to capture Chikuzen. And when the Taolongfang was killed by a surprise attack by the Mori Moto, and the soldiers pointed directly at the isolated Ouchi Yoshicho, Otomo Yoshijin ignored Ouchi Yoshicho's request for help and chose to watch from the sidelines, watching Ouchi Yoshicho commit suicide because of the continuous surrender of his retainers to the Mori family.

"Well, what's wrong with you today?" Finally sensing Ouchi Yoshicho's confusion, Otomo Yoshijin hurriedly asked.

"So now my father should send me to the other side of the sea?" Ouchi Yoshicho bowed his head and said. For a teenager who has just lost his mother and is now facing the separation of many relatives such as his father and brother, such an arrangement is indeed a bit cruel.

It's a pity that for Otomo Yoshijin at this time, these things have gradually become redundant. In him, he gradually became more rude and unreasonable. Reckless. Indulgence of the heart. Under the appearance of not listening to people's advice, in fact, there is a hidden true side. He also has his ambitions.

Regarding Ouchi Yoshicho's confusion, Otomo Yoshijin only said lightly: "That is my mother's former home, and it is also your home, and you will definitely become an excellent successor to your uncle." Besides, the family is facing the threat of the eagle in Hizen, and you are now a figure that concerns whether the family can deal with the Luo family with all its might. ”

If Otomo Yoshikan were here, he would definitely be surprised by Otomo Yoshijin's words at this time. These words are beyond the scope of what Otomo Yoshijin should say when he is only fourteen years old. A word from him. Insight into the key to Yoshicho Ouchi becoming the son of the Ouchi family this time.

After Otomo Yoshijin said this, Ouchi Yoshicho still looked a little confused, so he continued to ask, "But, why does Uncle Kikuchi keep going against my father?" Isn't he supposed to support his family? ”

Otomo Yoshijin was speechless about this question. He probably thought that Hachiro had followed the same path as his uncle and had gone to another family. But why would they repeat the same story? Is Uncle Kikuchi right? But why did he betray his relatives and family?

In this way, the two brothers, who were confused and confused, were finally about to separate. April of the thirteenth year of astronomy. Otomo Yoshijin watched his younger brother Ouchi Yoshicho board a boat bound for Ouchi's house. Maybe Otomo Yoshijin has already decided in his heart at this time. It will be a long time before I see Yoshicho Ouchi again. However, the time to get together again was actually very short, only a year. Only a year later, when the two brothers reunited, Otomo Yoshijin's situation was gradually falling into trouble.

Ouchi Yoshitaka was determined to accept Otomo Haruei as a child, and Masara had already known about it a few months ago through the guest general Duanmu Kiyomasa who lived in Ouchi's house. He also knew that Naito Xingsheng, a major minister of the Ouchi family, and others had made great efforts in this matter.

"It seems that the overall course of history has not changed much because of my appearance." Masahiro couldn't help but think. The reason why Masara expressed such feelings was because not long ago, he also received an express report from An Yi, and even if Masara made changes to the configuration of their retainers, Mao Li Yuan and his son still returned to An Yi safely.

Whether the Ouchi family accepted Ouchi Yoshinaga as a son, or the two fathers and sons escaped from Izumo, none of these historical events have changed, and history continues to follow the trajectory.

"Maori Yuan, this guy is really tough!" After getting the news, Masahiro couldn't help but sigh.

Of course, during this period of time, in addition to receiving the news that the Ouchi family will accept Otomo Haruei as a son and that the two fathers and sons are not dead, these two are not too good for the Luo family, there are still some things to be happy about.

First of all, it's about genealogy. Although the shogun Ashikaga Yoshiharu was driven out of Kyoto, the emperor who represented the imperial court was still in Kyoto, and the imperial court was naturally very happy about the 1,000 guan tax of the "imperial material land" provided by the Luo family every year. So, after a Shenglong sent a few more handfuls of the Luo family's hard-earned money, the imperial court was very "enthusiastic" to confirm the genealogy of the Luo family. Since then, Masarashi has been from the same source as the Ashikaga family.

While confirming the family tree, the imperial court also gave Masato the official position of "Hizen Mamoru again", and Masahiro's original official position "Saemon Second Lieutenant" was given to Masahiro's sister-in-law, Tang Wangmaru, who was less than two years old.

Seeing this official position, Zhengliang suddenly became crying and laughing. Previously, the official position "Dazai Shoku" given to Masayo by the imperial court, although it has been regarded as a local official position, but from the previous rank of the imperial court, it belongs to the official position of the main five. And the official position of this "Hizen Shou" is from the rank of five. There is a difference between the two official positions under the rank of the top five.

At the beginning, Masarashi received the official position of "Saemon Second Lieutenant", which was an official position from the seventh. There are eight and six ranks different from "Dazai Shoku" and "Hizen Mamoru respectively". In other words, Masalai first rose from the position of "Saemon Second Lieutenant" to "Dazai Shoku", and then at the same time obtained the slightly lower rank "Hizen Mamoru".

What's even more speechless is that "Dazai Shoku", "Hizen Mamoru" and "Saemon Second Lieutenant" are all official positions that belong to the imperial court. The "Hizen Guardian" and "Chikugo Guardian" were the positions set up by the shogun.

In the past, the official positions of the imperial court and the shogunate were set up separately, mainly to strengthen local control, but as the control of the imperial court and the shogunate existed in name only, these official positions became a favorable price for the imperial court and the shogunate to collect donations from all over the country.

In addition to the good news from Kyoto, due to the news that the Luo family sent supplies to Kyoto and Masayo obtained the official position of Dazai Shoku, the reputation of the Luo family was gradually known by people in other regions, which also prompted some celebrities and ronins to come to the Luo family to a certain extent.

The first to come to the Luo family was Koshizo and the National Friendly Guard. These two people are the same people Masara met when he went to Kyoto.

Michizo Naose, formerly known as Masamori Horibe, was one of the three most famous physicians during the Warring States period. According to historical records, he was ordained at Sokokuji Temple in Kyoto in his early years. Later, he went to Kanto to study under the famous teacher Tashiro Miyoshi (one of the three great physicians of the Warring States), and after returning to Kyoto, he returned to Kyoto and devoted himself to the study of Chinese medicine and the diagnosis and treatment of patients. He later treated the shogun's Ashikaga Yoshiteru, and enjoyed great fame in Kyoto. Harumoto Hosokawa, Miyoshi Nagakei, Matsunaga Hide, and others have also been treated by him. He established a hospital in Kyoto under the name of Kaidiin. In 1574, he completed his work "Kaidiji", and in the same year, he treated the illness of Emperor Shokincho and presented the "Kaidiji" to the emperor, which became even more famous. Even when Oda Nobunaga went to Beijing, he was asked to see a doctor.

After meeting this future famous physician in Kyoto, Masarashi lured him to settle in the Roche family in exchange for providing him with cold medicine he had brought from his previous life for him to study. But at that time, because the Luo family was not yet famous in the world, and Kyushu was located in a remote place, he did not agree immediately.

During this time, as the reputation of the Luo family grew, coupled with the strong persuasion of his friend Sakai Mao merchant Yuda Nobuyasu and the Luo family's father-in-law, he finally brought all his family to join the Luo family.

For the arrival of Michizo Qu Naase, Masara was very happy. He was immediately sent to Tadakoji Temple at the foot of Notaka Mountain, Matsuura-gun, Hizen. Zhongxiao Temple is a temple built when the Luo family just rose, as the clan temple of the Luo family, it will be added almost every year, at this time, this temple has become the largest area in the Luo family's territory, the temple with the most monks.

After the monks here are studying for a period of time, they will be sent to temples and even shrines in various parts of the territory to be presiding officers or priests according to the temple and shrine degree of the territory. In order to better control the religious culture in the territory, the Luo family has begun to gradually cultivate the power of the temples and shrines of the Luo family. Masarashi even thought about establishing an institution dedicated to the management of temples and shrines, but the only suitable position for the position of the administrator of this institution, Shoki Kuaikawa and Master Genji, rejected Masarashi's kindness. They prefer a life of unfettered Buddhist practice. So Zhengliang had to give up for the time being.

This temple of the Luo family, in addition to cultivating the Luo family's relatives to believe in Buddhism, is also a medical research place and a physician training base for the Luo family. Masara has deposited all the medicine books obtained from the local area and the Ming Kingdom here. And the current presiding officer of this temple is the master of Luo's military physician Ming Feng Xiuzheng, Master Xuanzhi.

Master Xuanzhi here, except for occasionally teaching some monks and people who are willing to study medicine, he is obsessed with medicine himself, and rarely asks about other things, so this is a paradise for studying medicine. It's only fitting that Michizo Kojinaase could not be arranged here.

Of course, Masato also fulfilled his original promise, not only providing the best research environment and a good fortune for Qu Naase Michizo, but also giving the box of expired "cold medicine" to Qu Naase Michizo Research. As for what he can research, Masahiro doesn't care. Anyway, even if he took those expired medicines, he would have diarrhea at most. (To be continued......)
