Ji Liang Yishi glanced sideways slightly: "Those who come are guests, Shinjiuro has arrived, let's have a banquet!" But he was a humble gentleman, who treated the people who had strayed into the synagogue with courtesy, and lightly buckled the table with folding fans, and a dozen or so beautiful wandering women, holding food boxes and fish, went to the hall with food boxes and fish, and removed the cold meals for everyone in turn, rearranged the cloth food, and the female music in the hall played the sheng and sang the white dance.

In addition to Gao Shisheng being served by Yashiro, Nagata Sheng and others also have wandering girls to serve as companions.

Taking the opportunity of raising a glass and drinking, Gao Shisheng found that the people of Mikawa Country on the opposite side had been looking at each other, obviously wanting to give him, an uninvited guest of the Imagawa family, a little color, and his mind was racing: "Looking at the posture of these people, they must want to insult me for fun, it is nothing more than verbal ridicule, to break my face, it is always difficult to beat people in front of the Yagata Hall - even if you do it, you are not afraid, only Aoki Daizen himself can knock them all to the ground!" ’

There are many people in the Three Rivers Country opposite, and Gao Shisheng only knows three wealthy families.

They are the Okochi clan who challenged him before, the young lord of the Nakajo family, Nakajo Hidetaka, who sat diagonally opposite him, and the son of the Sakurai Matsudaira family, Matsudaira Nobuyasu, who was at the bottom, should be his own younger brother according to his generation.

Most of the samurai here are vassals of the Tojo Kira family, in other words, that is to say, Kira Yoshitoki, who has long since succeeded his brother Kira Yoshiyasu, who was detained in Sunfu, and sat on the throne of the Tojo family.

In order to further confirm the speculation in his heart, he respectfully asked: "In Xia Lonely, I only know Nakajo Cainu and Matsudaira Sabu Yun, but I don't know that the rest of you are the martial arts in Mikawa?" ”

Kira Yoshitoki raised his glass and drank lightly, and Okochi Kunitsuna understood and replied on his behalf: "In the next is Okochi Tajima Mamoru Kunitsuna, this is the second son of the Ashisuke Suzuki clan, this is the servant of Ogasawara Bichumomo, and this is the beloved son-in-law of Hosokawa Danaka, Yamaoka Zenjiro............"

One by one, the names came out of the mouth of Okochi Kunitsuna, and these Mikawa people were all very well-known, either the sons of the powerful people of the country, or the genealogy of the Tojo family. Gao Shisheng became more and more convinced that there must be signs of division within the Mikawa Kira clan, otherwise how could they all be genealogies and vassals of the Tojo family, and were sent to Sunfu to act as hostages with them.

The Wanxing of the Mikawa Kira family has a place bordering Pingshan Township, but unfortunately others are soft-spoken and can't come forward to get a piece of the pie, but when he visits Asahina Gunshou tomorrow morning, he can tell the news and let his uncle profit from it.

No matter what he thought in his heart, whenever Okochi Sadazuna introduced a person, Gao Shisheng would stand up and exchange salutes with the other party, and the samurai who came to the banquet were all the horses of Kira Yoshishi, the henchmen who would control the Tojo family in the future, and now they were all wiped out and all of them were sent to Sunfu Castle, which shows how fierce the struggle was.

After the introduction, Okochi Sadatsuna stretched out his hand and pointed to the Nagata Mori clan and others who were sitting on the right side, and asked, "I don't know if these people are all from the Yuanjiang family?" ”

Gao Shisheng was calm: "These are the young monarch Sheng of the Yuanjiang wealthy merchant Nagata family, Kashima Shindangliu exempted from the sword master Aoki Fu Thief, the Pingshan Village errand Hayato Hasegawa, Ono Tadaaki ......"

"The retinue you brought can go to the other courtyard for a while." When Okochi Sadatsuna heard half of it, he unceremoniously interrupted.

It's not that he's arrogant and rude, it's just that these people are from too humble backgrounds, and among these people, only Aoki Daizen, a swordsman who has been exempted from Kashima's new dangliu, is still qualified to drink with the escorts, and the others are either businessmen or commoners, which is really not worth mentioning.

Aoki Daizen and Hasegawa Hayato were furious, seeing that the other party despised their own house so much, they were about to get up and have a seizure, Gao Shisheng motioned for a few people to sit down, and said calmly: "All of you here are my friends, I don't know what Ma Shou said and followed?" ”

"As a son of a martial artist, he is a friend of the common people." Okochi Kunitsuna was aggressive and aggressive: "Dare to ask what Shinkuro's official career is?" ”

"The main hall of Mengjun Mansion will not be abandoned, and will be promoted as the eight great officials of the Right Guard Mansion in the following table, acting for the people of a township." Master Gao respectfully bowed in the direction of Junfu City, very solemnly, and replied: "My friends and you are both serving the public of Junfu, and I have never seen any distinction between high and low. ”

He doesn't pay much attention to the official career and fame at all, not to mention that he is the acting official of the Imagawa family, and he is not a down-and-out minister who begs everywhere for the official position of the imperial court, as long as the Imagawa family is still a million-stone daimyo in Tokaido, his status as a direct minister of the Shoifu will only be far more noble than that of the wealthy family of the Mikawa country.

"The right guard is a good man!" Okochi Kunitsuna became more and more annoyed, and when he asked Yoshiyoshi Kirayoshi, he said: "Your Highness, since they are all lowly servants, Kunitsuna dares to ask, summon the flag to come, and drive them all out!" ”

"Really?"

Okochi Kunitsuna got the order and immediately wanted to call someone.

Kira Yoshishi's tone changed, and he said: "I look at the friends of Shinkuro who are burly and strong, all of them are very human, and they are all warriors, how can they not sit and drink together with the main hall, as Shinkuro said, there is no high or low today, only samurai who serve the palace of Sun. "He is about to go to the Imagawa family as a hostage, and if the news of driving out the people of Sunfu is spread, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no small people who will use the excuse to make trouble and slander his own family with rumors.

He didn't want to be like his brother Kira Yoshiyasu, and end up in an unknown situation. In any case, it cannot be shown that there is an attitude of resisting subordination to the Imagawa family.

"Your Highness, it is really degrading to sit with him and detract from the dignity of his own family and the prestige of the shogunate!" Okochi Kunitsuna still wanted to admonish, but when he saw Kira Yoshishi's stern gaze, he couldn't help but retreat back to his original position in a huff.

…………

The hall was brightly lit, and the wandering girl had already laid out the wine and food, and Kira Yoshishi raised a glass to persuade the wine in order to ease the antagonistic atmosphere. Everyone in the hall drank to the full, and after drinking, they all showed the bottom of the cup to show that they had finished drinking, which was a rule of the banquet and showed respect for the toaster.

Only Takao Oiran sat still, always smiling, this was her 'first meeting' with Kira Yoshishi, according to the rules Oiran neither talked to the guests, nor did she eat and drink, but just sat quietly on the main seat, observing the identity of the visitor, whether it was worth seeing her for the second time.

One of the main criteria for examination is the financial resources of the guests, and Kira Yoshitoki can't stay in Saku Castle for a long time, so tonight, he will hold such a grand banquet and arrange many geisha performances to please Takao Oiran, so that he can directly become the guest of the other party tonight.

Okochi Kunitsuna refused to give up, pointing at Gao Shisheng and persuading: "As a guest, how can you drink only one cup, and drink it again." ”

He is just a retainer, where is he qualified to persuade the master to drink, obviously he wants to take the opportunity to make trouble, Gao Shisheng does not argue, let the side Yashiro fill it for himself, and drink it all with a smile, and then drop the wine glass, the mouth of the cup is down, the bottom of the cup is up, and he shook it twice, implying that he will not drink more until now, and the meaning of refusal is very obvious.

Okochi Kunitsuna pretended not to understand, and shook his head again and again: "Shinkuro didn't drink enough!" Not enough! Directly ordered the wandering girl at the Nagata Mori's table next to him: "And it's full for Shinkuro, and have another drink!" The wandering girl didn't dare to refuse, seeing that Gao Shisheng did not show a gloomy face, she was bold, lifted the white porcelain wine jug to fill the wine glass, and then took it up and persuaded him to drink.

'Common name' can only be called by relatives and friends and people whose status is higher than their own, and it is a great disrespect to be called by outsiders, if Gao Shisheng does not have an official position, he can indeed be called by his common name, but he has already claimed his official position, how can he still call him by his name. As the master of this room, Kira Yoshishi is also a house-shaped hall, and it is not enough to call Gao Shisheng's common name. What is Okochi Kunizuna? is just a retainer of the people of the Mikawa country, Gao Shisheng is a direct minister of the Imagawa clan, and he is a famous family in the Kanto region, and he was called by him in front of so many people.

The guests here all drank a cup, and Gao Shisheng drank it twice for the first time, which was already enough for the other party, so what is it to drink it a third time? It is important to know that drinking is also a kind of humiliation to people.

Nagata Sheng and the others were unscathed, they were all Gao Shisheng's subordinates, and they were very dissatisfied when they saw that the master was being made so difficult.

Gao Shisheng took the wine glass as if nothing happened, and said with a smile: "Wine and food, how can I not drink the three lords, not to mention that I should thank the ancestors of the Great Hanoi clan for the gift of the city, the famous family of the East China Sea, I would like to use this wine to wish Wuyun prosperity!" "Anyway, drink it all.

Originally the castle of the Kira family in Enoe Province, the castle was managed by the Okochi family of the Hiroshi family. In the 'Onin Rebellion', he was besieged by Gao Shisheng's grandfather, Gao Shiping, the former governor of the Yuanjiang Gao clan, and forced Okochi Kunitsuna's grandfather Nobunada to retreat from the castle with two strategies: earth attack and water cut.

When Okochi Guogang heard this, he was angry, and the loss of the city of drinking horses has always been the most humiliating defeat of his family in recent years, and he was taken to the banquet by the enemy, and made fun of it in public, he suddenly felt that the eyes of the people around him were ambiguous, and he was angry, pointing at Gao Shisheng and scolding angrily: "After waiting for the remnants of the Gao family's ministers and the rebellious ministers and thieves, His Royal Highness the House Princes allowed you to accompany the last seat, which is already a grace, and does not repent of the old sins, but shamelessly makes a big statement here!" ”

Going back to the roots, the feud between the Gao family and the Kira family is far more than a drinking horse city. At the beginning, the 'Kanai Disturbance' was the opposition between Ashikaga Naoyoshi and Takashi Nao, and within the Ashikaga Shogunate of the Northern Dynasty, it was divided into Naoyoshi faction and Shizhi faction. Later, the contradiction worsened, and it developed into "Guanying Disturbance", also known as "Guanying Chaos". In the 4th year of the Northern Dynasty Shohei / the 5th year of the Southern Dynasty Sadawa (1349), the Takashiro Naochi faction attacked Ashikaga Naoyoshi.

The vice-shogun, Ashikaga Naoyoshi, fled to the residence of his brother and the shogunate official Ashikaga Takashi for refuge, but Takashi led a large army to surround the residence of the Ashikaga Takayoshi and asked the Takashi to order Naoyoshi to retire. Ashikaga Naoyoshi was forced to become a monk, and his legal name was Huiyuan.

With the connivance of the Ashikaga clan, Gao Shizhi once endangered Ashikaga Naoyoshi's personal safety, and was finally forced to defect to the Southern Dynasty, and at that time, the Kira Sadake was the daimyo of the Naoyoshi faction, and was therefore liquidated by the Shizhi faction.

Although the Kira clan has always been a powerful member of the Ashikaga shogunate, and even served as the general of Tokaido, the Kira clan had a rebellion to follow Ashikaga Naoyoshi and defect to the Southern Dynasty.

Taihei in the world, the Muromachi shogunate was divided and rewarded, not to mention the three management and four positions of the Kira clan, even the original Kira Sada's family served as the Oshu detective, but they were not able to keep it, and they were reappointed by the shogunate to the hereditary Osaki clan, the same clan of the Spo clan, but as a branch of the Kira clan, Imagawa Ryōjun, but he was a Kyushu explorer, and he stabilized the clan in the official career.

In retaliation, the Takashi brothers launched a rebellion, and in the end, behind the killing of Uesugi Kenneng, there was also the Kira clan.

These old things of Chen buckwheat and rotten millet also came up with a statement, which only made Gao Shisheng feel that the other party was really shallow and ignorant, and he really couldn't stand the qualifications of the Donghai Wang clan of the Dakochi family.

"It is recorded in detail in the "Respect and Inferiority Lineage" that my Yuanjiang Gao clan is a high-ranking Musashi Shou Shigeru lineage of the Kanto deacon, and the widow of the senior master, the high-level Beizhong Shoushi Qiu family has long been separated, and even contributed a lot in the rebellion against the high master, so he was appointed as the Kanto deacon by the Imperial Office of the Imperial Palace, responsible for supervising the public administration and the leader, and the king knew in the past." The Dharma name of the Ashikaga clan is 'Eijiin Temple, Ninzan Myoyoshi Daiju'.

Gao Shisheng has a good temper, always smiling, and speaking softly. He is not angry, it does not mean that no one else is angry, Okochi Kunisuna still wants to scold again, and suddenly he hears a shout, and a samurai rises up on the right seat.

The sound was extremely loud.

The people of the Three Rivers Country were listening to Gao Shisheng and Okochi Sadazuna with full attention, and they were caught off guard, and they were suddenly frightened by him, and they all turned their eyes to take a look. Takao Oiran was also frightened, and even more frightened several timid wandering girls with earth-colored faces, weak hands, chopsticks, and wine glasses fell to the ground one after another, 'crackling', and making a sound.

But seeing that the man was not tall, with a thin face, gloomy eyebrows, standing with a sword, standing among many brave warriors, not only did he not look thin, but he had a majestic bearing, just like Yuanyu Yueli, not angry and self-imposing. There is no one else, but it is Kashima Sword Hero Aoki Daizen.

Kira Yoshitoki was amazed and said, "True samurai! He asked Gao Shisheng, "This person is the new swordsman of Kashima?" ”

"Exactly!"

Aoki Dashan sneered, pointed at Okochi Kunitsuna and scolded angrily: "Dead slave! My family is a famous family in Kanto, a loyal minister for generations, and a pillar of the shogunate, who do you mean by a rebellious minister and thief? You still claim to be knowledgeable! If it weren't for the courtesy of the Kira Yagata public, how could my lord condescend to be a slave like you! ”

"Do you think that if my family repeatedly tolerates offense, it is weak? It is the respect for the Ashikaga Renzhi of the Kira family, the introduction of the shogunate, and the identity of the Imagawa clan, which is the reason why my family admires humility! Dead slaves! I don't know Huai'en, but I am entangled, is the dog fighting human power the integrity of your Sanhe samurai! Ridiculous! ”

Aoki Daizen is not good at words, these words were taught by Ono Tadaaki next to him, and he didn't expect to be more domineering.
