    At the Edo Castle Imperial Palace, dozens of Kanto ministers gathered together. They were here to witness the surrender of the former Kanto overlord, the Hojo family, for the first time. Seeing so many familiar faces appearing in the Imperial Palace, Hojo  Ushimasa always felt a little awkward in his heart. Being surrounded by former enemies and defeated generals was probably one of the most painful things.  Wearing a silver-white hunting coat with a black hat on his head, he walked slowly over as if he were a minister on a leisurely trip. When the Hojo father and son saw that this man was tall, majestic, and looked at the world with power, they knew that this was Kanto Lord Ashikaga Yoshi.  Toki himself quickly bowed and said respectfully: "Dr. Hojo Sakyo (Sagami Mamoru), please see His Highness Kokata." Ashikaga Yoshitoki walked to his seat and sat down cross-legged, and said with a cheerful face: "No need to be polite! I am very happy.  I can see the two His Highnesses here because I feel that they are both Kyoto samurai. There must be something extraordinary about them. Today I see the two His Highnesses with extraordinary temperament and extraordinary achievements that ordinary samurai can't compare with. I can persuade the two His Highnesses to surrender today.  It is a great blessing for the Kanto Ashikaga family." Hojo Ujiyasu bowed and replied seriously: "I dare not take it as a compliment from His Highness." "It should be said that Hojo Kamisukeden and Hojo Anboshouden should be together with the two highnesses.  Let's meet." Ashikaga Yoshitoki took out his folding fan and knocked on the table. Within a moment, he saw Hojo Tsunari and Hojo Ujikuni leading him to the Imperial Palace. It was a different feeling for father and son to meet brothers. Hojo Ujikuni looked happy.  And when he looked at Ashikaga Yoshi gratefully, he seemed to be celebrating this long-lost feeling of surviving the disaster.  The small reunion was just an appetizer, and Ashikaga Yoshitoki immediately proposed it to Hojo Ujiyasu.  I hope that he will take on the important task of being the elder of the Ashikaga family tree. This proposal is also in accordance with the rules set by Ashikaga Yoshitoki.  Basically, every time a martial artist is conquered, a position will be assigned based on his territorial background and abilities.  In the Ashikaga family, where the position is not hereditary.  It is not an exaggeration to reward newly surrendered powerful warriors with family elders.  However, Hojo Ujiyasu still seemed to have a estrangement in his heart, and was not willing to serve the Kanto Lord in front of him, so he declined on the grounds that he was old and feeble and was too weak to be used. Ashikaga Yoshitoki also reassured him in a reasonable way that he should not be discouraged and let him go first.  It＊s okay to take good care of your body and then work for it.  It always takes a lot of courage to rashly invite your former enemies to be your heirlooms. Of course, it also takes a lot of courage for the other party to succeed. This rejection was not beyond Ashikaga Yoshitoki's expectations, and it was not because of Hojo Ujiyasu's poor health.  Big secret.  The Hojo clan inherited severe hypertension, which was an almost impossible problem to face in ancient times when there was a lack of treatment for chronic diseases such as hypertension.  Cao Cao, Li Shimin, Li Zhi and other wise emperors all died of high blood pressure. It is conceivable that Hojo Ujiyasu was helpless in the face of this genetic disease. Once he reached the age of forty, his health became worse than before. Before he retired as the governor of the family,  During the year, he could only work for half a day and rest for half a day. Later, after the defeat in the high mountain battle, he strengthened his belief in retiring.  Let him continue to serve as the elder of the clan, not to mention how upset he is. Even the elder of the clan may not be able to support his body even with the heavy workload. Forcibly appointing him will only make the Hojo Ujiyasu, who is struggling to persist, die in a few years. This  Not living up to Ashikaga Yoshitoki's expectations, he hoped the Sagami Lion would live a few more years.  At least he could calm down Sagami Izu's Hojo legacy.  "Since the family elder cannot take on the role, it is better to step back and take on the role of the remaining imperial minister and companions!" The honorary position of imperial minister and companions.  He doesn't hold real power and doesn't need to worry about the family business of the Ashikaga family. He only needs to accompany Ashikaga Yoshitoki to eat and chat and exchange some opinions. It's probably the same thing as an expert evaluation team without taking responsibility. This time Hojo  Shi was too healthy to refuse and happily agreed.  After arranging the position of Hojo Ujiyasu, he turned to the current family governor Hojo Ushimasa. Ashikaga Yoshitoki said to him: "Hojo Sagami is a young and promising guardian with a bright future. Serving as Yu's family elder can make the samurai at home feel at ease. Yu is now more  What I am concerned about is the issue of Miao characters raised by many retainers in charge of Kanto. I wonder what Sagami Shoden thinks about the issue of Miao characters. " "Please forgive me, Your Highness, I really have nothing to say about the Miao characters," Hojo Ushimasa said in embarrassment.  Through the ridicule and ridicule insinuated from the corners, the Sagami Hojo clan is also called the Go-Hojo clan. This Hojo clan is obviously not a branch of the Hojo Tokuso family of the Kamakura shogunate.  He has been ridiculed by the Kanto warriors ever since.  Ashikaga Yoshitoki was well aware of the depth of the contradiction in this, and said with a smile: "There are two proposals for Sagami Mamoru to choose from. The first is to restore the Miao family name Ise clan. The Ise clan comes from the Ise Taira clan and the Ise clan.  The Hojo clan comes from the same sect, and there is absolutely no problem in restoring the original Miao character to the original Miao clan. Secondly, if you continue to use the current Miao character, the Hojo clan, I can give you the Hojo clan's high recognition. "The Hojo clan is very contradictory, and the Ise clan is.  Their family＊s ancestral lineageThe name, Ise Shinkuro, who entered Sounan Souzui in his prime, is the ancestor of the Hojo family, Hojo Soun. After all, the Ise family is also a hereditary samurai family who serves as the deacon of the shogunate, and its status in the shogunate is second only to the third-in-command leader.  , even stronger than the four positions since the end of the Yingren Rebellion.  However, the Hojo clan can only be regarded as a branch of the Bitchu Ise clan. It is not qualified to inherit a branch of the clan. It is better to continue to use the previous Miao character. Whether it is based on personal psychology or practical interests, it is more cost-effective to continue to use it.  Miao and Hojo are the best choices. After all, they have worked hard for decades to create the name of Sagami Hojo. The brand effect has been generated and grown into a towering tree. At this time, it is absolutely necessary to suddenly cut down this big tree.  unwise.  Hojo Ushimasa said firmly: "I have decided to keep the name of the Hojo clan." "Are you sure you won't regret it?" "I will never regret it!" The young Kanto Lord smiled silently and applauded Hojo Ushimasa's persistence.  The new council members all applauded when they saw the official, so we also clapped our hands as a sign of appreciation. The young Satake Yishige's eyes widened and he didn't understand what kind of drama this was, and the experienced Koyama Takato also couldn't figure out what was going on.  reason.  Yuuki Haruto seemed to be thinking of something but not sure. Hoga Couture and Oseki Takamasu didn't dare to draw any conclusions yet as they didn't know Kanto's temperament yet. Utsunomiya Hirotsuna and Nasuzu Yoshimitsu were busy looking at each other to communicate.  Eye-killing technique.  He didn't even notice that the small changes in the hall involved many invisible things.  "In that case, how about I decide to give Ujimasa the title of "King of Ujimasa"?" Hojo Umasa was stunned and felt slightly puzzled.  This word of greeting is not a big deal, so why should it be so solemn? He hurriedly bowed and said: "Thank you, His Highness, for your grace!"  Sagami Mamoru must think carefully about using the character "Tong", Ashikaga Yoshitoki smiled like a cunning fox.  Hojo Ushimasa subconsciously sensed that something was wrong. He turned around and saw his father, Hojo Ujiyasu, winking at him quietly, meaning to tell him not to agree even if he refused vaguely. However, when the matter came to a close, he did not dare to fool the Kanto public.  After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said: "Please give me your grace." Ashikaga Yoshitoki said proudly: "Then give the remaining character 'Toki' to the Hojo family! From now on, your name will be Hojo Sagami Tokimasa!" "  Ah!" Hojo Umasa fell down and almost fainted from fright. At this moment, he understood why his father kept giving him winks to tell him not to agree. He had no intention of giving the word "righteousness" as a pass, even if he used it.  "Toki" is a common character, and he did not use "Hojo Tokishi" as a new name according to the rules. Instead, he was a strange example like Uesugi Teruhora, who abandoned his common character "Kage" and retained the character "Tiger" instead.  Ashikaga Yoshitoki disapproved of Kojima: "Don't be afraid! If I'm not afraid of the Tokisei Palace, what else should I be afraid of? It doesn't matter if he happens to have the same name as a deceased historical figure of the Hojo family. What he did cannot represent the Sagami Hojo family.  Words and deeds, isn't it? So your descendants will carry forward the word "Shi" and put it as the title of the descendant! " "Of course you are not afraid, but I am really scared to death."  Hojo Tokimasa was so frightened that his legs and feet were weak and he didn't know what to do. Everyone in the Hojo family looked pale.  Hojo Tokimasa was a powerful minister since the establishment of the Kamakura shogunate. In his later years, he once wanted to support a puppet general to realize his dream of dictatorship.  Abandoned by his daughter Hojo Masako and son Hojo Yoshitoki, he eventually ended up being exiled to Izu Country and died.  The all-powerful Kamakura Hojo clan hundreds of years ago has long been wiped out. Today, the Sagami Hojo clan comes from the Ise clan who was born in Kyoto. They also changed their name to Hojo and used the Hojo three-scale flag. However, the Hojo clan has never said anything about themselves and Kamakura.  The relationship between the Kura-Hojo family made a simple distinction between the two Hojo clans in the samurai group of the Eight Kingdoms of Kanto. The Hojo clan in power in the Kamakura period was called the former Hojo clan, and the one in Sagami Odawara Castle today is called the Houjo clan.  Hojo clan.  In fact, there is no direct blood relationship between the two Hojo clans. If you insist on saying that there are many connections, there is still something. The Ise clan, the predecessor of the Hojo clan, was the first class of the Kanbu Taira clan, and he happened to be Ise Taira.  The branch founded by Taira Taira, the direct descendant of the Taira family, is the direct descendant of Taira Kiyomori, the mainstay of the Taira family.  As a branch clan, the Ise clan has no reputation. It was just an inconspicuous clan during the period when the Taira Kiyoshi reigned supreme. It was precisely because of not raising its eyebrows that it was able to survive the storms of the 150 years from the end of the Genpei period to the end of the Kamakura period.  In the last years of Kamakura, he gradually got close to the Ashikaga family and became a confidant by virtue of his status as the guardian of the Kamakura Kingdom.  Ashikaga Takauji＊s father, Ashikaga Sadashi, and Ise Sadatsugu were relatives. With this relationship, Ise Sadatsugu became the royal bureaucrat of the Muromachi shogunate, and thus stood out among several Taira families and became the Muromachi leader.The famous Taira family in the 19th century, the Bitchu shogunate who was born in the Ise heyday (Hojo Soun), was also a powerful lineage of the Ise family and became the shogunate Shinji clan responsible for diplomatic affairs.  The former deacon of the political office, Ise Sadataka, is the nephew of Hojo Soun. Ise Sadataka's father, Ise Sadatatsu, is the nephew of Hojo Soun and the brother of Hojo Utsuna. When the direct line of the Ise family died, he came from Bichu.  Ise Sadataka, the adoptive son of the Mori family, is the leader of the family, and it can be seen from this that the status of the Hojo family is quite good.  In addition, Hojo Ujitsuna's change of Miao character to Hojo also has something to do with the former Hojo. His wife, Hojo Ujiyasu's mother, Yosuin, has an extraordinary origin. His father, Yokoe Hojo Sagami Mamoru, is one of several branches of the former Hojo clan.  The Hojo family successfully survived the turmoil in the late Kamakura years, so the Hojo family changed its name to Miao with the meaning of a son-in-law and an adopted son. However, this story was never announced to the public, and was only revealed later.  The Hojo clan knew this was happening.  Ashikaga Yoshitoki suddenly proposed that the former Hojo clan's official character "Toki" be given as the new common character for the latter Hojo clan, which shocked everyone in the Hojo family into cold sweats. It was nothing more than the Hojo clan who was so frightened that his body became weak and did not dare to move.  I probably feel that Lord Kanto has already plotted against the Hojo family every step of the way.  Everyone in the Kanto country watching the excitement was smiling.  He rubbed his palms together excitedly and was even happier than celebrating the New Year. He had never seen the Hojo family in such a miserable state before this good thing happened to them.  Hojo Ujiyasu hesitated several times, but when his thoughts changed, he couldn't help but think to himself: "What your Highness K身kata means by this is worth thinking about! It doesn't seem like a simple choice of a name that is the same as the ancients, nor is it just to scare me, the Hojo clan.  With the current situation of the Kant身 Gongfang unifying Kant身, there should be no need to target my Hojo family! "It's not a particularly big deal to have the same name. There are many families where descendants have deliberately adopted the names used by their ancestors.  The most famous Ida Cyclops is named after his ancestor.  Umechiyo Omaru, who died young, was the good-for-nothing Ashikaga Yoshiji. He also took the name of Ashikaga Kamisaburo Yoshiji, the third generation pillar of the Ashikaga clan.  There are even more perverted samurai who love two names and insist on using them. For example, the Iyo Kono clan is an extreme example. The father and son use the names Kono T身nao and Kono T身nobu back and forth. The names of the grandfather and grandson are exactly the same, and they can continue to do so.  The name remains the same for several generations, so the only way to tell the difference is to look at age and official position.  Ashikaga Yoshitoki had a bad taste. Of course, he did not simply want to scare the Hojo family. His dream was to recreate the samurai style of the Kamakura period, but he could not imitate the bloody and chaotic Kamakura samurai customs seriously.  After all, times have changed and a more civilized and advanced system must be used to manage Kanto. Necessary tactics are an indispensable link.  Using the Hojo family and giving the Hojo family a new character is one of the links in Ashikaga Yoshitoki's plan.  Not to mention that the Hojo family has always been on the fringes of the shogunate's ministerial system. More than 90% of the family's ministers are samurai who followed Hojo Soun from Kyoto, such as the Ise clan who was born in the family, the Matsuda clan, Tominaga clan, and Ogasawara who were relatives of the ministers.  The same is true for the Daidoji clan and the Daidoji clan.  The powerful descendants of Yamato Seito and others are also Kyoto samurai who have come to Sagami Country in the past twenty years. They have a natural affection and attraction for Ashikaga Yoshitoki, who came from the shogunate. They are all immigrants and have settled in Kanto, and there are more than sixty people in total.  Years ago, the local indigenous Kanto samurai were constantly bullied, which also made this group of outsiders from Kyoto stick together very closely. The loyalty of the Hojo retainers has always been the most united among the Kanto samurai family and even the samurai families in the world. Shimazu relied on blood to support  The family is not necessarily better.  "His Majesty Kakata wants to warn me not to imitate the Kamakura Hojo family in seeking power and usurping the throne! But by changing the name of our family so suddenly, is it just to defeat our family?" Hojo Ushimasa looked at him with confusion and confusion.  , hoping to get an accurate answer from His Highness, lest he always have a knot in his heart that cannot be solved.  Ashikaga Yoshitoki did not want to frighten the Hojo clan, and said with a kind smile: "I have no intention of targeting Sagami Morden. This is my first meeting with Sakyo Dafuden and Sagami Morden. I admire the two of them very much.  Respect, the original meaning of the word "Sagami Shoden" is just like the meaning of the name itself. I believe that the two highnesses will get the answer they want after thinking carefully. "There may be many ways, so there is indeed an inside story!"  "Hojo Ujiyasu's mind changed, and he suddenly felt enlightened, and said: "I was thinking that His Highness K身kata's intention just now must not be that simple. Maybe this is both a spur and an encouragement to me, Hojo!  Will it fully restore the prestige that the Miao character itself bears? " Ashikaga Yoshitoki nodded and said: "The Kamakura Hojo family was originally a powerful imperial family, and was a relative of the Kawachi Minamoto family.  The shogun made a big mistake in governing the world. The shogun Jueji committed a heinous crime in fighting for the power of the shogunate. The members of our Minamoto clan samurai familyIt is natural to exterminate them.  Now I want to authorize the Sagami Shrine to restore the Hojo clan's Miao characters, shoulder the heavy responsibility of reviving the Hojo clan's family business, and take over the sins they committed. From today on, I must always take out "Azuma Mirror", read more, reflect frequently, and always be vigilant about myself and those around me.  The samurai family can no longer take the road of no return like the Kamakura Hojo clan.  "Perhaps he felt that it was immoral to scare the hard-working Hojo clan, so before the end of the banquet that day, he gave Hojo Tokimasa a famous sword and a pair of large armors, including a Trakena horse and a Kiso horse.  At the end of the banquet, he summoned Hojo Tokimasa alone and told him personally that he did not need to bear too much burden on the new name.  As the Duke of Kanto is by no means an unreasonable and mediocre ruler, he would choose to give the Hojo clan the opportunity to restore the name of their ancestors because they value their clan's rare loyalty and bravery. Perhaps the Hojo clan, which was famous all over the world in the past, can regain its reputation in his hands.  Revival. A heart-to-heart conversation finally wiped away the knot in Hojo Tokimasa's heart, allowing him to sit down as governor with peace of mind. Ashikaga Yoshitoki gave him more preferential treatment than expected, including the six prefectures in the central part of Sagami Province.  All were assigned to the Hojo Tokisei, so that the Sagami Hojo clan's territory was increased from the initial promise of 100,000 koku in the Sagami half country to 140,000 koku in the Sagami half country. Ashikaga Yoshitoki also offered very preferential treatment to the surrendered Hojo clan.  The people of Nissagami and Izu who were willing to follow the Hojo clan were allowed to transfer to Higashi-Sagami, and the more than 70,000 koku of Izu and the 50,000 koku of Nissaga became the royal materials of the Ashikaga family. It was a win-win situation that everyone was happy with.  Bureau. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
