Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the seemingly unintentional glance just now, I had already seen through Konoe Maekyu's inner calculation. This sworn brother quietly stood on Kira Yoshitoki's side, indicating that the political situation around him seemed to be developing in an unknown direction.  However, Ashikaga Yoshiteru cannot underestimate and neglect Konoe Maekyu, because this sworn brother is an important support for him to firmly grasp the context of the imperial court. As a political ally, he needs the compatibility of ideas rather than opposition.  It has almost become known to everyone that Kira Yoshi wants to replace him as the Kanto Crown Prince. Even if the news obtained in Kyoto is delayed by a few months, he will still know almost the same. The sporadic information sent from Kanto can be used to judge the Kira family.  The wars were very fierce, especially the wars involving the ownership of Kanto, which usually lasted from several years to more than ten years before the winner could be decided.  For example, the Xiangde Rebellion broke out from the third year of Xiangde (1455) to the fourteenth year of civilization (1483) and lasted for eighteen years. The Changxiang Rebellion that broke out after a four-year break lasted from the first year of Changxiang (1487).  The outbreak lasted until the end of the second year of Yongsheng (1505) and then went on for another eighteen years, one eighteen years on the left and one eighteen years on the right. This was the youthful years of two whole generations of samurai who were wasted in endless battles and frequent chaos.  The last bit of loyalty and patience of the Kanto samurai.  But the emergence of Kira Yoshitoki made everything different. This miraculous man seemed to have a unique charm. He could always deal with a mess of things in order, and he could always manage the barren and useless land.  Fertile and abundant, he brings victory after victory to many people with inexplicable confidence, as if he is saying to the world with his actions: "Look! I have succeeded again in the Ashikaga family!" Konoe Maekyu also knows that it is important to have Ashikaga Yoshiteru's complete trust.  It was very difficult, but there were some things that he had to do even if he knew they were very difficult. In his heart, he always had firm support for the Ashikaga Shogunate and ardent expectations for pacifying the troubled times. Ashikaga Yoshiki could not give him the means to pacify the world.  In the future, Kira Yoshitoki can give these and is putting them into practice. This is an important reason why Konoe Maekyu chose to support Kira Yoshitoki.  Ashikaga Yoshiteru's indifferent response did not destroy his confidence. Konoe Maekaku still persisted in explaining: "This is the best opportunity for the shogunate at the moment. Seizing this opportunity will only be good for the shogunate and not harmful.  As for whether Yishi will pose a threat to the general's family, there should be no problem! With Yihui's influence on him, there should be no need to worry about more changes. " "It's a pity that Yu's legitimate son is still dead dead.  It's so bizarre, who is the mastermind behind this?" Ashikaga Yoshiki looked at Konoe Maekyu suspiciously, trying to see even a hint of guilt and panic in this sworn brother's eyes, but  All these efforts ended in failure, and Konoe Maekaku showed a clear conscience from beginning to end.  Konoe could feel Ashikaga Yoshiteru's suspicion and suspicion. He also knew clearly that this close sworn brother suspected none other than his other sworn brother, Yoshitoki Kira, who was behind the scenes.  This suspicion may have been deeply buried in Ashikaga Yoshiteru's mind for a long time. Who knew that Kira Yoshihide had to add a superfluous statement about Ashikaga Yoshiteru's direct descendants? Now that I think about it, it feels a bit artificial.  Knowing that Ashikaga Yoshiteru was suspicious of his other adoptive brother, Konoe Maekaku was unable to defend Kira Yoshiki's innocence, so he could only ignore the topic and said: "I believe Yoshiteru can guess that it is the Miyoshi family."  You are causing trouble! Miyoshi Nagakei and the Miyoshi family have arrogant minions all over the country. In addition, their navy also has many servants around the Seto Inland Sea. The origin of Izumo Aguo is unknown, but he can rely on his execution to buy daily necessities.  It seems that they are deliberately planning to attack Yihui, and this time has to be pushed forward three years. Three years ago, only the dormant Miyoshi family was probably the most powerful!  There is only such a reasonable possibility, but Mr. Yu feels that something is wrong. Is it really Yu who made the fuss?" Ashikaga Yoshiki still looked uneasy, as he still had doubts about Kira Yoshitoki's suspicions.  The Nianji Liang family fought one after another without stopping.  He was busy either running to Deyu or Hokuriku and expanding everywhere.  It would be unreliable to make him believe that Kira Yoshishi had hidden so much and was full of bad intentions to attack his wife, Konoe Kenko, because if he wanted to attack, it would definitely not be against his own disciples, and he might create  An accident caused him, the general, to "accidentally die" before giving birth to his legitimate son. He believed that the Kira family must have a similar method to deal with him. The chance of finding an Izumo Akun with unknown origins and unknown origins to dance and sneak into the Nijo Imperial Palace was too high.  It takes three years to implement the plan even more procrastinating and boring. From this point of view, you will feel that this is indeed not what Kira Yoshitoki ordered. When the Kira family uses strategies, they often prefer to connect each link closely to form a system.  Rather than blindly attack his wife, Kenko Konoe, which is also the most unlikely thing to happen.    Yoshitoki Kira has a very good relationship with Maekyu Konoe. He himself is also a special samurai who respects women very much. I have never heard of him committing cruel and vicious acts towards any woman. Kenko Konoe  I got acquainted with Kira Yoshitoki as early as the black hat ceremony in his Yuanfu. Both of them are related by some affinity and they are both public and military aristocrats in the same camp that supports the shogunate. They have always gotten along very well.  On behalf of her husband and adopted brother, Konoe Kenko would occasionally say a few greetings when they bumped into each other in the imperial palace.  In this era, this person can be regarded as a model of getting along well with each other. Compared with Ashikaga Yoshiteru, who often throws things and has a bad temper and is merciless when he gets angry, Konoe Kenko combines many female advantages such as beauty, gentleness and kindness, and is full of intelligence.  This beautiful and strange woman has never heard of anyone being resentful towards her.  At least Kira Yoshitoki is not such a person.  And more importantly, Konoe Kenko and Nagao Torahime, the Jewish daughter of the Konoe family, are sworn sisters. Torahime is the wife of Kira Yoshitoki. It goes without saying that the Konoe family first established a relationship with Kira Yoshitoki.  Konoe Zeuhime's in-law is the direct sister of Konoe Maekyu and Konoe Kenko. Even now in Kiragi's time, she still sends some books, fleece jackets, felt hats, gloves, and thick-soled felt boots as gifts every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival.  Kira Yoshitomo was very careful to avoid using animal skin products to damage the Three Refuges and Five Precepts of respecting the beauty of mountains, so he always gave velvet fabrics as gifts, and each gift was made according to the standard size measured by a Kyoto tailor.  , she would never give her a chance to give them away at will, and would give away dozens of sets each time.  As time goes by, the aristocratic women who come and go to the Institute of Light gradually come to know that this young dean is the former "qingren" of the popular Kira Yoshi, and gradually more and more people get close to him, although it will break the pure nature of Zunshan Xiu.  Free practice.  But it also made her gradually understand that the cute little boy in the past had gradually become a famous general who shocked the world.  And Torahime also likes to send some small gifts to Kyoto. For example, according to Kyoto's festival customs, many gifts are sent from Echigo on time every year, ranging from small spinning tools to small toys invented by Kira Yoshitoki and hand-sewn ones.  Various high-end products such as baby clothes and gold, silver, jewelry, silk, and tea were given as gifts.  Through this continuous gift-giving method, Kira Yoshitoki and his wife gradually formed a consensus among the aristocratic circles in Kyoto that Kira Yoshitoki is very easy to get along with.  He treats people with sincerity and enthusiasm and never cares about personal gains and losses. This can be interpreted as a fool who takes advantage of others, or it can be interpreted as being generous and generous. In short, the court has always had a very positive attitude towards Kira Yoshitoki.  In the past few years, Ashikaga Yoshiteru has often heard the term "lady diplomacy" from Konoe Kenko. A few times he was a little curious and wanted to make some insinuations, but he was fooled by the vigilant wife with a few words.  In desperation, Ashikaga Yoshiki also did the same thing as a noble man, but what he stole was not money and books but letters between his wife and Torahime.  After reading the letter exchanges between these women, he realized that his brain capacity was a bit insufficient. This writing method was even more unconventional than the use of kana. It was basically written with kana and various inversions superimposed into a strange word order.  The private message was a bit similar to the older way of keeping confidential letters. After pondering for a long time, he could barely understand the general part, which seemed to be about strange issues such as what to eat so as not to gain weight, how to put on makeup and what clothes to wear.  "In this way, the possibility of Yoshitoki is the smallest. Then only Miyoshi Changqing and his minions have the ability and patience to prepare a less successful murder operation! From this point of view, it is indeed not Yoshitoki, but  The possibility that he exerted influence cannot be ruled out." Ashikaga Yoshiteru was still speaking harshly, but in his heart he and everyone secretly crossed Kira Yoshitoki off the list of suspects.  When Ashikaga Yoshiteru became the shogun, he hated the Miyoshi family extremely. As the Kyoto shogunate gradually gained a firm foothold and gradually took back some of its governance power, he was praised by the world's fierce public opinion as the master of the resurgence of the shogunate, which made him have a long-term hatred of the Miyoshi family.  Qing's hostility has also been reduced from a mortal enemy to a hateful level. However, after the misjudgment of the Luozhong War and the death of his legitimate son, it seems that he will once again hate Miyoshi Changqing.  As a general who aims to revitalize the shogunate, he conquers barbarians.  The number one enemy he has to face is still the Kinai overlord Miyoshi family, but because of his short-sighted behavior, he completely angered the Kira family and the Rokkaku family who fought for him in the Luochu war, making these two families very unwilling to continue to defend Kyoto.  But Ashikaga Yoshiteru, as the shogun, could not bow his head and admit his mistakes to the two retainers. Even if he knew that he had made a mistake, he had to carry it for his own sake.  This is to save face and suffer. The general's dignity does not allow him to behave degradingly. The general cannot make mistakes, so the ones who are at fault must be his subordinates.  Either I was at fault or I misunderstood the general's intention. In short, I didn't realize it when the battle in Luozhong just ended. When he figured it out and tried to find the steps, he found out.This matter has long been settled.  Ashikaga Yoshiteru is neither stupid nor stupid, let alone a stupid general.  Not only is he proficient in swordsmanship, but he is also very familiar with diplomatic strategies. Military strategies are almost zero due to the lack of excellent teachers when he was growing up. Most of the political strategies were obtained by looking through the notes left by his father and referring to his own thinking, as well as making insinuations with the ministers.  Ashikaga Yoshiharu himself is not a successful general, and his overall level of military, intellectual, and political strategy is not very high. The only impression left to the world is that Daiki Eshu and Daiki Sakai compete for the throne of shogun, and what Ashikaga Yoshiharu is best at  Sprinting talent is the only way to survive the turmoil in Kyoto.  With such a less-successful father as a foundation, you can imagine how much Ashikaga Yoshiteru can learn. As for the Nakao Castle that took a long time to build, it was not very useful in a military sense. When the shogunate lost Kyoto and retreated,  It no longer makes much sense to defend Nakao Castle, so from this point we can see that Ashikaga Yoshiharu's military strategy is still very weak.  The only thing that can be said to be done right is to adopt Ashikaga Katsuhime as the adopted daughter of the Ashikaga family and marry Konoe Maekyu. Then the three of them established an iron triangle of sworn brothers through complicated relationships, and each other's wives have wives.  They have a close relationship and both of them appreciate their respective talents. This is something that Ashikaga Yoshiki was once proud of.  The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Kira Yoshi had a much more positive influence on him than a negative influence. After all, he knew the ins and outs of the same race and watched him grow up from his age.  He was promoted to the Ashikaga clan by himself, so Kira Yoshitoki naturally carried the imprint of Ashikaga Yoshiteru on his body. Wherever he went, people would be reminded of how he had promoted him to become a member of the Rianjizu clan.  .  If you think about this, you can explain Konoe Maekyu's attitude. Even if he is ambitious now, what will happen? Just as Konoe Maekyu said just now, even if you give him Kanto Lord, he will not be able to do anything. At most,  It doesn't matter if the whole family in Kanto is turned upside down.  The people of the Kanto Kingdom have experienced hundreds of years of chaos and have become very unruly and barbaric. In the eyes of Ashikaga Yoshiteru, they are a group of hateful "evil parties". Kira Yoshitoki can do whatever he wants to deal with them.  He can be sure that Kira Yoshitoki will never have any ill intentions towards the shogunate. At least as long as Ashikaga Yoshiteru is still alive, he will never have to worry about the possibility of being usurped by Lian Zhizhong. As for whether his descendants will have any  This ability can suppress Kanto Gongfang.  Whether it will evolve into a "Minghui coup" or cause "eternal chaos" depends on their fate.  Ashikaga Yoshiki paused for a moment and said: "It is not impossible for the Kanto government to consider it, but there must be a major prerequisite before it can be given to him. If I want him to stay in Kanto honestly and not leave without authorization, the war in Kaga country will stop."  Don't invade Echizen Country where you are. Hida Province will protect Hida Mountain safely. The Tokaido Road divides Izu Country and Suruga Country, and the east is under the jurisdiction of Kiragi and the shogunate.  Direct leaders cannot attack each other. " "So, has Yoshiki figured it out?" Konoe Maekyu said happily: "That's good! I will convince Yoshitoki to make more contributions to the shogunate  ¡­¡± Ashikaga Yoshiki waved his hand and said: ¡°Give it to him! But Yu wants to emphasize that the oath must be strictly observed. You must not step out of this limit without Yu¡¯s order!¡± ¡­ Just when Kira Yoshiki returned to Edo!  After a few days of rest in the city, I accompanied a few ladies to visit the Edo Castle that they were about to move to. I saw piles of building materials everywhere on this bare wasteland. Nearly 10,000 civilians wore bowls on their heads and held wooden hammers, shouting.  The trumpets kept pounding the wooden piles, and the huge stone rollers rolled back and forth on this wasteland to level the land repeatedly.  On both sides of this wasteland are surging rivers, and in the distance to the south is a blue sea.  Several ladies raised their veils and looked carefully for a while, then put down their veils out of boredom and gathered together to talk quietly. They didn't like this noisy and messy construction site. If their husbands hadn't strongly requested to come and take a look around, they would never have appeared there.  here.  Torahime pouted her lips and complained: "Your Highness! Is this the Edo Castle you are talking about? Everything is in chaos. It seems that it is not as good as Naoetsu Town at all. Echigo is more comfortable." Sandalwood is hot  She leaned close to her and said softly: "Sister is right, I have only been here a few months. I already have so many small rashes on my arms. It feels so uncomfortable!" The other ladies also expressed their discomfort, A Quan  He began to worry about his precious daughter Yukihime, who was only a few months old, and Yoshino also began to miss his precious son Yoshichiyo.  Seeing that the whole family was about to go out for a walk, Kira Yoshihi shrugged and said: "Then let's go back now! Anyway, there is really nothing to see at the moment." Although the Edo Castle Town was not built, the demolished and rebuilt Edo  The Imperial Palace has been completed early, but the current Edo Imperial Palace is still relatively simple compared to the Kasuga Imperial Palace.There are less than twenty renovated houses for maids and servants, leaving a large open space near the imperial palace that has yet to be developed. This is the new imperial palace building that Yoshitoki Kira plans to start building in the near future.  The main structure of Edo Castle, including the magnificent seven-story castle tower and the blueprint for four five-story castle towers, has not yet been implemented. None of these goals can be achieved in two or three years. Kira Yoshitoshi did not have three years to build Azuchi.  Cheng's ambitions and plans, after all, he is not a man of the world and does not want to be a man of the world.  A few days later, some buildings in Edo Castle were completed and put into use. One of the largest halls served as a temporary large hall. Kira Yoshitsune held the first major appraisal in Edo Castle. The meeting mainly focused on the Kira family.  Various reports should be made on urban relocation, and all aspects from labor, materials, warehousing and management must be explained one by one.  Kira Yoshishi never tires of asking questions from followers. If he finds that a provision does not feel right, he will investigate to the end until he finds out which link is the problem. If there are flaws or gaps in the system, he will quickly propose new remedial measures to improve the system.  When an adherent has a problem, the executive officer will be held accountable. Whether he should write a petition summarizing the mistake, suspend his duties to reflect, or resign and return to his hometown to farm, or even a more severe punishment is a matter for public judgment, and he does not need to intervene in the specific links.  This is the process in which a complete implementation organization is gradually taking shape. A complete system and self-correction capabilities can reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles for Kira Yoshitoki's management. There is probably nothing more satisfying than being a hands-off shopkeeper.
