The people of Mikawa, like all the people of this era, have a gene of being rebellious against their lords deep in their bones. Even the always submissive people have many secretive calculations. For example, the Okochi family in Nishi Mikawa is a local snake. If it hadn't always been If you are loyal to the Kira family, you may have become a powerful person or even a guardian. The Okouchi clan is not only deeply entrenched in Nishi Mikawa, but also has deep connections with Higashi Mikawa, Ene and even Owari. The ancestors of the Okouchi family also served as the head of the Yinma Village in the territory of the Yue River Kingdom for the Kira family. This Yinma Village was later converted into Yinma Castle by the Imagawa family, also known as Yinma Castle and Hima Castle. More than ten years later, It was rebuilt into Hamamatsu Castle by a certain tanuki because the Okouchi family was a famous wealthy family in Mikawa. Moreover, their family is famous for producing educated people from generation to generation. This group of rough men in the Mikawa countryside are most in awe of the educated people. Moreover, unlike the Kira family, the Okouchi family often appears in Mikawa country and is more approachable than the Kira family, which lives in seclusion. , the reputation is naturally higher. For Chinese people, the Kira family is unattainable. Just like the Buddha statues in the temple, the Okouchi family is the real samurai family. Not to mention the former King of Wraiths and the current God of Learning Sugawara Michizane, there are not many among the famous samurai families today who can be called intellectuals. Most samurai families don¡¯t know much about Sinology and can write limericks. It is even rarer that someone can do it. There is a legend in Tokaido that a wise man's wise words can make evil people put down their butcher swords and change their ways, and ordinary warriors can't even hold a sword. So these Mikawa local tyrants Don't dare to mess with this Okouchi family governor who is well versed in poetry. These rumors were also passed to the ears of Kira Mansomaru as rumors, but he did not take it seriously at the time. The Kira family's collection of books was even more abundant, even more than the collection of the Okawachi family. More than ten times more, it was given by emperors, ministers, His Royal Highnesses, gifts from merchants of the Ming Dynasty, and purchased from Sakai Town. He felt that it was not inferior to the culture. "Looks like I'm still wrong! This was the troubled times of the Warring States Period. The institutional system relied on the prestige and personal charm of the family governor to maintain the family name. It either relied too much on the monarch or relied too much on the powerful officials to determine the future of the family. Even if there is no crisis in the Imagawa family, can this family really continue to pass on safely? " Kira Manshomaru asked himself, continuing to stay at home is really not a good choice. The lineage in the Kira family is too strong and too stable. , don¡¯t dream of innovation when they are here, not to mention that he does not have the courage to despise authority and trample on traditional systems like Oda Nobunaga. So what if Imagawa Yoshimoto is killed? With a little turtle in front of him and a big family behind him, his life will only become more miserable. "But what can we do if we don't innovate! If we don't become a Sengoku daimyo, we will definitely be abandoned. If I want to always be a subordinate, why should I go to Kyoto to seek refuge with His Highness K¨kata? The nearby Suruga Imagawa family and Owari Oda family are not Is it more appropriate? Whether it is to steal Mikawa after the death of Imagawa Yoshimoto, or to conquer the world with the Oda family, the title of subordinate is always indispensable. How will this help the reputation of my Kira family? After losing the clear name of the family, who will Are you still afraid of my Kira family?" Kira Manshomaru's eyes flickered with rays of light, and he seemed to understand Yamamoto Kansuke's final intention: "Master must also be aware of the chronic illness in the family, but he never reminded him of it. Am I allowed to awaken on my own? In this chaotic world of the Warring States Period, should I fight for hegemony bravely or go with the flow and surrender? If I choose to be hegemony, then Kyoto will be my first stop. It¡¯s more appropriate than going to Kyoto!¡± Some people don¡¯t know what respect means. Even if they sit back, they keep talking like a swarm of buzzing wasps, while the Kira family retainers are quietly wiping the cold sweat on their foreheads. I secretly thought that fortunately those reckless men from the Three Rivers Country were sitting far away. It would be terrible if these reckless men really collided with the imperial driver. Only then did someone with a keen mind realize that Kira Mansomaru, the governor of the house, was sitting there motionless. He neither screamed nor looked panicked. He looked like a passerby who had nothing to do with him, quietly Looking at the commotion of a group of Chinese people, he was as indifferent as watching a monkey show. "Can such a house governor really be a coward?" Apart from some reckless men who don't know it yet, some people with relatively bright minds have already begun to think about this not-so-complex issue. No matter at home or abroad, the ancients always There is a bit of superstitious thinking, believing that only those who are not afraid of danger can become masters. Obviously, the same is true for the Kira family. The retainers of the Kira family also discovered this strange phenomenon. No one in the family had ever dared to draw a sword at the evaluation meeting before. This was also the first unexpected incident that the Kira family encountered. As the family governor, Kira Mansomaru remained calm. It was a little surprising that many of the retainers just now didn't even think of taking care of him, the underage governor. Just now it was as noisy as a wet market,Then it became deathly quiet. Except for a few Sanhe farmers who stretched their heads to look left and right, most people sat motionless. The assessment room was so quiet that even a pin dropped. You can hear it all the way to the ground. After sitting for a while, Kira Manshomaru gently unfolded the folding fan, revealing a folding fan painted with cherry blossoms in bloom. On it was Rukonin's own calligraphy, which was a famous line from the singing saint Ji Kanyuki: "The mountain cherry blossoms are blooming. The haze is misty, and the fragrance is hidden in the misty sky; the sentiment is most faintly visible, and even a glance is moving. "Strictly speaking, this is a bat fan, which was given to Ryumenji Temple, the second generation head of the Kira family in Saijo, by Luen-in. A precious thing left by the Kira Toshi clan. Originally, Kira Toshi clan served as the chief of the shogunate. Later, this position was abolished by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu. The Kira Toshi clan subsequently moved to the position of the head of the warriors, which was the predecessor of the Fengguo chief. This bat fan was the favorite of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu at that time. The fan was painted by Kano, the royal painter of the Imperial family, and had poems and postscripts written by Rokuonin himself. He often held this fan on important occasions, and it was regarded as a symbol of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu. Mitsuru felt a little sorry for the Kira family, so he gave this bat fan to the Kira family. Later, this bat shirt also became the status symbol of the Kira family governor. Only the Kira family governor can hold this fan and represents the Kira family. status. When this bat fan was opened, it immediately attracted everyone's attention. As the royal family of the Ashikaga Shogun, the Kira family has been given countless treasures by the emperor and Kohoden in the past generations, and this bat fan is also one of the more famous ones. Because this folding fan was a royal possession of the Kira family governors in the past dynasties, people in the Mikawa country also knew it to some extent. Legend has it that before the Onin Rebellion, the governor Hosokawa Katsumoto wanted to buy 200 taels of gold but was unable to get it. The governors of the Kira family in the past generations carried this fan to everyone regardless of winter or summer. It was not only meant to show off, but also to scare the rich people like Mikawa The meaning of recklessness. In a pure Kyoto accent, Kira Mansomaru murmured unhurriedly: "This family follows the rules of the family. From generation to generation, the family governor has to go to Luo to serve His Highness the Lord. This is the law of the shogunate. Don't you know? Serve the Lord. Your Highness is an incomparable honor for our family. Since all the ministers have arrived, we hereby announce that the day of going to Luo will be August 28th, and the acting officer of Saijo will be Nobutada. " Kirara Manshomaru carried out the ancestors. The banner of law suddenly silenced everyone's voices. It is an ancestral rule for Shang Kira to serve His Highness Gongfang from generation to generation. This truth is known to the rural farmers in Xisanhe, and there is no reason for them to obstruct it. "Yes!" At this point, Nobuzada Ohuchi had nothing to say, so he could only bow his head and acquiesce in the matter. A Chinese citizen asked with ulterior motives: "Master, you don't have to leave in such a hurry to serve His Highness, right? The master has not yet served, so it won't be too late to wait for a few years, right?" A retainer of the Kira family He immediately retorted: "Idiot! It's precisely because of this! The master of the hall wants to go to Kyoto! In this land of three rivers, who else can preside over the Yuanfu for the master of the hall? Is it you, a village man?"
