Kira Yoshitoshi called several ministers to the castle tower to praise them one by one. Talking about the great changes in the castle town, Kira Yoshitoshi was very happy and said: "This is all the credit of His Highness Fujitaka! If I were to do it, I'm afraid it would take a long time." "Have done twice the result with half the effort!" "It's all thanks to His Highness Sakamoto's blessing! The successive victories have established the reputation of our shogunate, and the residents of Sakamoto Castle Town are all happy, and we have been able to successfully reorganize the internal affairs of the castle town." Hosokawa Fujitaka humbly gave the credit. Pushing it onto Kira Yoshitoki made him feel very happy. In fact, everyone present knows that this credit has little to do with Kira Yoshitoki. It has been less than a month since the Fukakusa battle in early August. There was no reputation for protection in the previous month or so. It was all thanks to Hosokawa Fujitaka and Matsui. Thanks to the unremitting efforts of Yu Xian, Odate Harutada, Ninagawa Okinaga, Ina Tadaye and others. "I have already informed His Highness Gongfang that you will be transferred to be our court officials. His Highness Gongfang has also agreed. From now on we will be a family! Hahaha" Ji Liangyi took a quick glance and noticed the expressions on several people's faces. Stiff, he said with a smile: "As the governor of the family, I also want to reward you for your loyalty to the public Well! Let me reward each of you with a hundred guanwen!" "Thank you, Master, for your kindness!" Ina Tadashi was the first to bow. Bowing down, he was the one with the least mental burden. The other four people looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They could only bend down and bow in turn: "I will thank you for your grace, Master!" They also knew it well. Kira Yoshitoki had no good intentions in arranging them to do various things in Sakamoto Castle. Originally, they had many ways to refuse the Kira family's request to become an official. Even Hosokawa Fujitaka had already thought of ways to escape as soon as possible, but it was a pity. No one expected that Kira Yoshi could defeat the Miyoshi family, kill Ichikumi Tokawa, Fuyu Noguchi, and capture Miyoshi Choitsu alive. Now they were embarrassed. Not to mention that if they brought it up again, some people would say that they didn't appreciate the compliments. Ashikaga Yoshito would not be able to agree. When they were praying for a miracle, the most worrying thing came. Kira Yoshitoki found When His Highness wanted to leave them as retainers, they immediately became direct ministers of the shogunate and downgraded to associate ministers of the shogunate. The gap was huge, and we can't blame them for their unwillingness. "You must think that this family is going too far, right?" Kira Yoshihide sighed, feeling the need to speak clearly, "You also know the situation in the shogunate. Yamashiro Kingdom has just been recaptured, and the government, the imperial court, and the temple's imperial palace I just got it. After collecting the annual tribute from the autumn harvest, life will be much better, but it will only be slightly better. The war will continue in the future. The shogunate needs money and food, and the family needs talents. If you have been thinking about running back to the shogunate Being a nobleman will not only help the shogunate, but will also damage the family's foundation in Sakamoto. Sakamoto is the only source of wealth for the family and the only support for the strong army of the shogunate. No matter what, there can be no mistakes in Sakamoto City. You are all high-ranking officials of the shogunate. Talent, regardless of family background or ability and knowledge, are of the highest level. If you refuse to help my family protect the shogunate for your own selfish reasons, how long can the shogunate support you in the future? " "I understand! From today on, we will do our best to be loyal to the owner, and leave Sakamoto's affairs to me!" Several people lowered their heads in shame, it seems that this sincere advice is still effective. "Well! I hope you can put aside your own prejudices, don't care about the difference between direct ministers and accompanying ministers, and don't feel that you are shorter than your former colleagues. We are all for the shogunate and the great cause of the martial arts of my Genji family. If you are a diligent and loyal person, If you still have to suffer ridicule, what will the world think of us as a famous family? If you want to understand these issues, we will work hard to serve you! " "Yes! "Resign!" Hosokawa Fujitaka and others were on pins and needles after being told that they wanted to rush out to do things now. When they got up and left, their movements seemed very hasty. Looking at their leaving figures, Kira Yoshiki sighed softly: "Don't blame me. , It is really forced by the world. If we don't go against the current, we will only end up with the destruction of our family and the country. We are taking a dangerous road in Huashan. If we don't win, we will die! " Solve the problems of several capable ministers in the shogunate! , Kira Yoshishi was finally able to lie down and rest. The spirit that had been tense for several months suddenly relaxed, and he slept as if he had no bones. When he woke up in a daze, he realized that the sky seemed much darker. "Hmm! What's wrong with me?" Just as I was about to sit up, I realized that my whole body was sore, my head was dizzy, and my whole body couldn't muster any strength. "Your Highness! Don't move! You are sick. The fever just subsided last night." "Is it Aju? Why am I sick? I am obviously fine, how can I suddenly become sick?" Kira Yoshi was a little confused. His body was always weak. It's quite good. He has almost never been sick since he was a child. Apart from being lazy in his cultivation, his physical fitness is absolutely stable and comparable to that of most people of his age in this era. This is also why heA place I have always been proud of. "His Highness was very sick due to the cold. He fell asleep for a whole day before waking up. Fortunately, His Highness Mori Naose, who has some medical skills, prescribed a medicine for His Highness, and you were able to recover so quickly." Aju looked worried. Looking at him. "That's it! It must be because I am exhausted!" A child who was originally over nine years old suddenly had a heavy burden on him that made him unable to breathe. He spent every day calculating how to revive the family business and planning. How to plan a territory to feed and drink thousands of mouths, and also have to worry about the shogunate and deal with the troubleless Ashikaga Yoshito. You can imagine how much pressure he has been under in the past year. Aju stuffed the fluffy blanket for him and said with concern: "Your Highness, just lie down and recuperate. He will recover in just a few days! His Highness Kansuke has also come to see you. He hopes that His Highness will resume his art of war training after recovery." His Highness Kansuke said that no matter what, his body has not yet matured, and training is the only way to strengthen his body. " "Uh, do you still need to practice? Okay!" I'll just do it! With a worried look on Kiku's face, Kira Yoshi suddenly lost his mind. Kiku had played with him since he was a child, and she was the closest person to him besides his mother. Even Shengji didn't necessarily understand him better than Kiku. Kira Yoshiki was unable to refuse Kiku's request. Kira Yoshitoshi just spent the last few days of August lying on the bed. Summer was coming to an end and the autumn harvest was coming to an end. The crisp autumn air was a good day for outdoor activities. How much cultivation did he have to spend lying in the castle tower without leaving the door? On that day, Kira Yoshi felt that his health was well, so he proposed to go outside for a walk. "Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I went to Sakamoto Imperial Palace to visit Katsuhime. Why don't Aku accompany me to see Katsuhime!" Kira Yoshitsune put aside this reason and took Aku and twenty people who were nearby. At the imperial palace not far from Sakamoto Castle, as soon as they arrived at the gate of the imperial palace, Yoshitoki Kira and his group of more than 20 people were stopped. The leading men dressed as samurai politely told him that this was the shogunate's imperial palace and outsiders were not allowed to enter. The younger member of the Kira family stepped forward and shouted: "Hey! Look clearly, this is the royal flag of the Ashikaga family! Are you responsible for stopping His Highness Sakamoto?" "Sorry! Sorry!" Several samurai quickly stepped aside, The troops of the Kira family were allowed to pass. Kira Yoshitsune took a brief look at their family crests and guessed that they were from Yamashiro. Ashikaga Yoshitš has been active in the past few months, recruiting several people from Yamashiro who originally belonged to the shogunate. It's not that difficult to be a martial artist in the public domain. "What happened?" Several samurai ran out of the imperial palace. The clothes they wore were made of slightly different materials than those guarding the mountain castle outside the imperial palace. When the leader saw Kiragi, he quickly bowed and saluted: "Nobita Fujita meets His Highness Sakamoto!"
