Chapter 465: Secret

The two armies collected their own troops, and the battle ended in a hurry.

Yoshiin is going to rest here for a day, giving Daikuma Ashidei time to clean up the interior, and then return to Tochio Castle tomorrow to face the Yangbei people.

Before it was dark, Daxiong Chaoxiu came to greet him with several banners, and Yoshiin summoned her to the shogunate.

She left the flag book outside, and she respectfully entered the shogunate, saluted Yoshiyo, and presented the imperial flag.

Yoshiin handed over the imperial flag to Yamanaka Yumori for safekeeping, and asked casually.

"Everything is done?"

Da Xiong nodded and replied.

"There were thirteen stubborn ones, all of whom were beheaded for public display, their heads hung in front of the camp, and their bodies were thrown into the wilderness to feed the dogs.

Such unscrupulous things do not deserve your protection. The rest of the people bowed their heads and obeyed orders, willing to work for the dogs and horses served by the royal platform. ”

Da Xiong Chaoxiu said murderously, but there was a flattering look on his face, which is also a skill.

Yiyin nodded.

"This time, follow me to Tochio Castle to make meritorious service to offset the sins of rebellion.

His Royal Highness Uesugi is already the governor of the Uesugi family in Yamauchi, the leader of the Kanto region, and the rightful guardian of Echigo, and he can't do things like this in the future. ”

Big Bear Chaoxiu has something to say, it seems to be in the throat, and he looks left and right.

Yiyin frowned.

"If you have something to say, it's all my trusted closeness here."

Big Bear squeaked and squeaked, but still didn't dare to speak.

"Imperial Taisho, this. . Cadre general, cadre Kanto general. ”

Yoshiyin was stunned, Daxiong Asahide was just a local tax official, what could implicate the two princes of the Ashikaga family?

Kamiizumi Nobutsuna was the most discerning and took the initiative to leave, and then the warriors of the Spo family and Naoe retreated one after another, leaving only Yamanaka Yukimori hesitant.

Yiyin smiled and said.

"Yamanakahime don't have to worry, I'll shout if there's something, you can wait outside."

Yamanaka Yumori nodded and went out as well.

She was worried that Da Xiong Chaoxiu would find an excuse to support the crowd and hurt Yiyin. The lord knew to be on guard, so she went out to wait with peace of mind.

When all the concubines were gone, Da Xiong Chaoxiu whispered to Yiyin.

"Dare to ask if the Imperial Observatory will stay longer when he comes to Echigo this time?"

Yiyin said calmly.

"His Royal Highness Uesugi has dedicated Tochio Castle to me for a temporary stay, and he will not return to Kansai for the time being."

Big Bear Chaoxiu said secretly.

The sword with the imperial platform went to the Kanto, and the more I pondered it, the more strange it became, and now it seems that the plot is very big.

Yiyin saw that she was silent, her eyes rolled wildly, and she was dissatisfied.

"You asked me to drink back just to ask about this little thing?"

Da Xiong Chaoxiu hurriedly shook his head and said.

"I don't dare, I just dare to ask, did Lord Gongfang really grant His Royal Highness Uesugi the post of Kanto Governor?"

Yiyin said strangely.

"The Uesugi family in Yamauchi was destroyed by the Hojo family, and almost all the heirs were extinct, and Lord Uesugi Kenmasa accepted His Royal Highness Uesugi Terutora as his adopted daughter, and it was right to inherit the family business.

Why, can't this Kanto governor be given the post of consul? ”

Seeing that Yiyin really didn't know anything, Da Xiong Chaoxiu was uncertain in his heart, and he didn't know whether to say it or not.

"Imperial Observatory, didn't Lord Gongfang tell you anything else?"

For her hints, Yiyin was already impatient, and said with a cross eyebrow.

"Something to say! What the hell are you trying to say!

Big Bear Chaoxiu, I can give you the opportunity to make meritorious atonements, and I can regain the grace and exterminate all of your rebellions here!

If you talk about it in a fog, just get out of here! ”

Daxiong Chaoxiu knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty in a posture of sitting down.

"Yutai's anger is not that I am making trouble, but I think you know the reason, but who knows that you don't know."

Yiyin was confused and asked.

"If you know anything you don't know, tell me what to say."

Da Xiong Chaoxiu glanced out, made sure that there was no one, looked uneasy, and said.

"The Kanto consul office has never existed."

Yiyin's eyes widened and he rose from the ground.

"Impossible! What nonsense are you talking about!

I personally accompanied Uesugi Terutora to meet the shogun at the imperial palace and received a promise to be conferred a position in the grand review! How could it not exist!

Hugh is nonsense! ”

Big Bear Chaoxiu smiled bitterly.

"The anger of the Imperial Observatory is calmed, and it is precisely because you are serious that I dare not speak out, for fear of delaying the major affairs of the shogunate."

Yiyin narrowed his eyes.

Did she treat me as an informed participant, and she didn't dare to confess for fear of ruining my plan?

Yiyin sat down slowly and said in a deep voice.

"You speak carefully, tell me everything you know.

I want to know why the Kanto consul office does not exist. ”

Seeing that he was quiet, Da Xiong Chaoxiu became more aggressive, swallowed his saliva, and said.

"The Great Bear family has served the Uesugi family in Yamauchi for generations, and although it is not a high authority, it has followed it for many years and knows some secrets.

The first general divided his daughter as the general of Kanto, the prince of Kamakura, and guarded the land of the ten countries of Kanto.

Afraid that her daughter would be thin, she followed her husband to Kanto, and since then she has branched out.

At that time, the first shogun did not set up the post of Kanto governor, and the Uesugi family came to Kanto as the head of the Kanto shogun to preside over the affairs of the family.

In the following generations, the Yamauchi Uesugi family was hereditary and became the second person in the Kanto samurai family below the Kanto shogun.

The Kanto samurai used the relationship between the shogun and the governor as an analogy to the Kanto region, and called the Yamauchi Uesugi family the Kanto governor. ”

Hearing this, Yiyin's heart was already racing.

If the Kwantung governor is a military officer, then he is a member of the guardian system and is subject to the general's rule.

If the Kanto Governor is just an honorific title, then the Yamauchi Uesugi family is the head of the Kanto Shogun, that is, the status of a retainer.

According to the rules of feudal society, the retainers of the retainers are not my retainers, and the shogun has no subordinate relationship with the Kwantung governor.

Yiyin smelled a hint of conspiracy from it and continued to listen to Daxiong Chaoxiu.

Later, the Kanto shogun rebelled against the shogunate with the power of the Ten Kingdoms of Kanto, but was forcefully suppressed by the Ashikaga shogun.

Subsequently, documents from the shogunate began to appear with the title of Kanto governor, echoing the honorific title of the Kanto samurai.

The Uesugi family did not deny this in order to elevate their own family status. A few generations later, later generations of samurai believed that the Kanto governor was a servant position.

I was able to know about this because the Okuma family hereditary Echigo guarded the Uesugi family's internal affairs, and there is a family heirloom document mentioning it. ”

At this point, Da Xiong Chaoxiu kept his mouth shut and bowed to the ground.

Yiyin was still proud when he heard this, and his brain spun rapidly.

After that, Da Xiong Chaoxiu didn't dare to say it, so he could only speculate on his own.

If the Kanto governor is not a military position, it is just that others don't know, and the Ashikaga shogun's family, the Kanto shogun's family, and the Yamauchi Uesugi family must know.

The Ashikaga shogun's family originally used documents to elevate the status of the Uesugi family in Yamanuchi, thinking that it was to provoke her family's ambitions and bury hidden dangers in the Kanto region.

Dozens of shoguns and stewards fought for the power of the shogunate for so many years, and there were countless civil strife.

If the Kanto region is out of the Kanto Domain, it will naturally compete with the Kwantung General for authority.

Then you can lead the water to the east and let the inside of the Kanto region eat the dog behind closed doors, so that they don't come to make trouble again.

The Ashikaga shogun intended to guide him, and the ten countries of the Kwantung region had already circulated this title in private, and the Kwantung shogun's family wanted to deny it, and there was no reason to severely punish him.

How can this kind of complimented honorific title refute rumors? The more forbidden it is, the faster it spreads.

The Kanto general's family has no choice, so they just don't care, the Yamauchi Uesugi family has benefited, and they snickered and won't clarify.

After a few generations, the honorific title of the Kanto governor gradually blurred, and everyone thought that it was a military position.

Yiyin's heart was cold.

In this generation, the Kwantung shogun was raised by the Hojo family, and the Uesugi family in Yamauchi exterminated the clan, and only Uesugi Kenmasa ran away.

Later, she came to Echigo to find Uesugi Terutora and tempted her with the name of the Uesugi family in Yamauchi, and asked her to fight with the Hojo family.

Afraid that Uesugi Teruhu would dislike the lack of weight, he simply added the non-existent post of Kanto governor.

The Hojo family must not have known that the Kanto consul position was fake, otherwise they would definitely come forward to clarify and not let their political opponents occupy the political high ground.

And what about the Kanto generals? She didn't tell the Hojo family about this?

Eating the offerings of the Hojo family, the son of the Hojo family who fell asleep secretly sneered and watched the Hojo family and the new Uesugi family of Uesugi Teruhu preparing to fight hard.

Both families thought that the position of the Kanto Governor was real, and the new Uesugi family had the right to manage the Kanto Plain, so it was natural to fight for a result.

Those in the know hid behind and watched the jokes, saying that maybe through this incident, Uesugi Kenmasa would be able to play the new Uesugi family into a civil strife in the future.

So what about Ashikaga Yoshiteru, why did she grant Uesugi Terutora the position of Kanto Governor? She should also know that this office does not exist!

Just now, Spo Yiyin, who took her sword and warmed her a little, gradually cooled down.

The general's family, the Kanto general's family, and the Yamauchi Uesugi family are all down, but these family governors are not simple, one is darker than the other.

If Uesugi Terutora and the Hojo family lose both, it's the best.

Assuming that Uesugi Terutora is weak and fails, the Hojo family will also have to be wary of the enemy on the other side of the Echigo Mountain Range and will not be able to expand the family business.

In case Uesugi Teruhu sits on a large scale, she only needs to look through the file and suddenly find that the position of the Kanto governor does not exist, and she will lose the legal basis for occupying the Kanto Plain.

No matter what the result is, as long as the Kanto Plain can't be stabilized, it will be the best result for Ashikaga Yoshiteru.

Yiyin's heart sank like water.

It turned out that before I left Kyoto, the Kanto strategy had already been restricted by Ashikaga Yoshiki.

She didn't know that I had the task of helping Uesugi Teruhu return a Qingming world to Kanto, and that I had to reorganize order here.

She just stood in the shoes of Ashikaga Shogun and hoped that Kanto would be chaotic forever and not be integrated by anyone to succeed.
