On October 15th, Hosokawa Harumoto was actually invited out by Ashikaga Yoshit身. He thought that the young general had changed his mind and reused him. When he heard that Miyoshi Chokei was still seriously injured, the shogunate prepared to send troops to attack Akutagawa without Miyoshi Chokei. Shancheng, he immediately took over the post of general with full confidence, promising to fulfill His Highness's great trust. He didn't even ask what Kira Yoshitoshi was doing, or how the Hosokawa clan who had driven him away agreed to cooperate with him, so he took two thousand troops of the Hosokawa family and released two thousand people from Yamashiro country. The crowd gathered together, and invited his brother-in-law Rokkaku Yoshiken to help with five thousand troops, and they marched all the way to Akutagawa Mountain Castle. At the beginning of another round of fierce battles in Kinai, the imperial court's pardon quietly arrived in early November. Two people came over, namely, the samurai family's eldest son, Gonagonon Hirohashi Kunimitsu, and Lieutenant General Ukonoe Kwon Chimeiin Jigui. Coming to Sakamoto Castle with the imperial edict, Kira Yoshishi warmly entertained the imperial envoy. After the guests and hosts had a good time, Hirohashi Kunimitsu announced the latest appointment of the imperial court. Hirohashi Kunimitsu coughed twice, took out the imperial pardon and read it loudly: "Shangqing Hirohashi Houtanayan Kunimitsu announced the decree on November 3, the 19th year of Tianwen, that Zuobei Sagenyoshi should be appointed as an attendant, and Zuo Rentou Youkonei "Lieutenant General Fujiwara Motoki." "Original Yoshitoki received the order!" Kira Yoshitoki accepted the appointment lightly without blinking an eye. The new official position of the five senior attendants is Kira Yoshitoki. Hirohashi Kunimitsu and Chimeiin Jigui smiled and congratulated: "Congratulations to Your Highness Kira! You have made great contributions to the imperial court. His Majesty the Emperor and the Manchu ministers are all happy. If His Majesty Kira is not still young, the official promotion set by the imperial court The laws are strict, and it is not a problem to rank among the four officials based on His Highness Kira's achievements! "" Your Highnesses are overly praised!" Kira Yishi chatted with the two ministers for a while, and the two of them stood up and left very knowingly! . In addition to Kira Yoshitoki's promotion, Yamamoto Tokiyuki was also promoted to the rank of Sado Mamoru under the rank of Shosho6. Naito Masashige was also promoted to the rank of Shoshichi Shimozaemon second lieutenant and Takikawa Masushige for his contribution to the death of Juga Ichino. Masashichi is the second lieutenant of Uemon, Kuuki Shigetaka is the unification of all the naval forces. Masashichi is the junior captain of Zuohei, Watanabe Takatsuna is the senior captain of Zuohei, and Kato Kyoumei is the senior captain of Zuohei. second lieutenant. As a famous family member, Nakajo Hidetaka's starting point was naturally higher than theirs. With his leadership in the Fukakusa battle and his outstanding performance in the Nakaoyama battle, he successfully inherited the Nakajo family's duties and was awarded the title of the fifth subordinate. Deha Mamoru, the Nakajo family has not received the official title of Dewa Mamoru from the imperial court for nearly a hundred years. This time he was granted the title due to meritorious service, which is a complete meritorious service. In addition, Takashima Nanato also received some small official positions of the eighth position, which is better than nothing. For example, Yamazaki Ieyoshi, the official of the eighth position, Suiyu, who stayed in the last line, everyone who has made meritorious service has received a reward. This can be regarded as a reward for the imperial court. Praise to Kira Yoshitoshi for restoring the shogunate and protecting Kyoto. Afterwards, Kira Yoshitomo was very aware of current affairs and donated 500 kanmon to the imperial court. For this donation, Hirohashi Kunimitsu even rushed to Sakamoto Castle to express his gratitude. He was even happier than when he had been warmly entertained by Kira Yoshitomo many times before. The imperial court's The ministers are very poor, but their moral integrity has always been good. After the rewards from the imperial court were given out, the rewards from the shogunate also came. In order to thank Ashikaga Yoshit身 for taking back the royal palace of the Yamashiro Kingdom, he was given a lot of shogunate services, and he was assigned to the chief minister. , the Sakamoto Imperial Palace police station, also specially built a Kita Omi guardian, directly separated Omi country to give him a guardian, and was also allowed to use the three privileges of "chrysanthemum pattern, felt saddle cover, and white umbrella bag". It was a helpless move to only give this. Kira Yoshitoki already had the privilege of using the red-handled umbrella and the umbrella with the famous nobles, and he himself had the privilege of using the five-seven paulownia pattern. Only the felt saddle cover and the white umbrella bag could be used by guardians. The Kira family has never had one before, and by obtaining these two privileges this time, he will become the true master of the country. Another chrysanthemum pattern, like the five-seven-tonne pattern, is also a privilege bestowed by the emperor on meritorious officials. However, there are not many samurai families who possess both the chrysanthemum pattern and the five-seven-tonne pattern. Anyone who obtains both patterns at the same time is a famous samurai family. Kira Yoshitoki can possess both at the same time. It also shows how much Ashikaga Yoshito values ??him. In the final analysis, these are just cosmetic things, but the next one is different. The name of the Ashikaga family is allowed to be used in regular places. From today on, it will officially appear in the official activities of the shogunate. From now on, regular court meetings, festivals, The imperial capital called the above-mentioned Ashikaga family the Kira family, which meant that his family was directly moved from the imperial family to the public family of the Ashikaga family. Since this was mentioned last time, when it was officially issued to Kira Yoshi in the form of a royal teaching letter, it was equivalent to publicly telling the world that he, Kira Yoshi, was a member of my Ashikaga family, and it was also explaining that Ashikaga Yoshito How much he admired him, he regarded him as the only person in his clan who could save the shogunate, a famous general who resurrected the Muromachi shogunate. Along with the imperial teaching letter, Ashikaga Yoshit身 also sent a pair of horse seals.?The big flag and the horse seal are written with the eight characters "Ashikaga Kamisaburo Yoshitoki" in handwriting. It seems that the handwriting must be Ashikaga Yoshito's ink. Ashikaga Yoshito not only loves the art of war and swordsmanship, but also has high attainments in Sinology. He likes it when he has nothing to do. He wrote Tang poems and chanted Japanese songs, and I also saw a lot of his calligraphy treasures Ji Liangyi. Speaking of which, the traditional Chinese characters written by Ashikaga Yoshito are even better than those he wrote himself. The lower regular letters are lively and lively, while the large regular letters are strong and straight. They were obviously taught by famous teachers. In comparison, Kira Yoshitoki's handwriting is only okay. Not to mention a self-contained master, he is still far away from the calligraphy level of Ashikaga Yoshito. Then the other large flag is the same Ashikaga Nibiki family crest as the Ashikaga clan. This is different from the Ashikaga Nibiki ry身 used by the Kira family. Although the branch family and the main family use the same family crest, the branch family still has the same family crest. Use different color combinations, line thicknesses, and various variations to express the difference between yourself and the clan. This time, he directly took out the black and white Ashikaga fubiry身. On the white flag, there were two black horizontal bars in a black circle, forming the royal crest of the Ashikaga family. Such a high-level gift was completely beyond his expectation. Unexpected. The family crest and flag were not quite beyond his expectation, but the six words "Joseph Saburo Yoshitoki" were written on the big flag in a superfluous way. It was like setting him on the fire. Once the news came out, It's sure to cause an uproar. The envoy of the shogunate did not explain anything in particular, but when he saw these two things, Kira Yoshitoki was almost frightened to death. He secretly cursed "f*ck" in his heart. Taking out these things at this time would only harm him. Maybe Ashikaga Yoshitoki is. It was out of good intentions, but he still wanted to say: "He is really not a worry-free guy." Yamamoto Tokiyuki came and raised his eyebrows when he saw the horse seal picture, admiring Kira Yoshitoki's new horse seal. He curled his lips and turned around, then said seriously: "This handwriting is vigorous and powerful, it was written by a famous artist."
