    In March of the 11th year of Eiroku, spring comes again. When spring comes, flowers bloom and everything revives, Kyoto turns into a beautiful giant garden. At every scenic spot, you can see the brilliant cherry blossoms blooming like clouds.  Walking on the two main roads in Kyoto, you can feel that the spring in Kyoto always carries a sweet youthful atmosphere.  The children cheered and flew around like happy birds, the elderly smiled happily and enjoyed the rare spring scenery, and the young lovers took a boat ride along the river to cruise around the beautiful Lake Biwa and the Flower City beside the lake, or went for an outing in the quiet countryside together.  Looking for traces of spring in the mountains and forests.  In the tranquil pagoda forest in Kyoto's Shuguangji Temple, there are two plainly dressed samurai, one middle and one green. From the looks of them, they should be a father and son. They are sweeping the tombs of several altars in the pagoda forest and offering sacrifices. They are Matsunaga.  Hisahide and Matsunaga, father and son, came to visit the graves of Miyoshi Changqing and Miyoshi Yoshihiro in advance.  Matsushita Nagahide knelt down in front of the altar and bowed respectfully, just like he had done when he met Miyoshi Chokei and Miyoshi Yoshihiro. He said with a complicated expression: "My lord, young master, I'm sorry, I'm Kyuhide."  He can only express his shame and regret in the form of sweeping the grave in advance. Now that the direct line of the Sanhao family has been cut off, the lord will not feel too guilty about killing Dongkangdian. " Even if the righteousness between monarch and minister has been entangled for many years!  Thoughts collided, but after all, the friendship between monarch and minister for many years has always resulted in kindness. Matsuzuki Nagahide's face said with a little sadness: "My sins are serious, I should not have offered the tonic to the young palace in the first place. I thought that the young palace  He was just suffering from a few chronic illnesses and was not serious, so he encouraged Shaodian to take more tonics so that he could have an heir as soon as possible. He didn't want to kill Shaodian by taking supplements. " Matsuzong Nagasaki comforted him: "Father, don't be too sad.  "My lord, I can definitely understand my father's good intentions. As long as his intentions are good, he will probably be forgiven if he does something wrong!" Matsunagahide said heartbrokenly: "Everyone says that I, Jiuhide, am the most treacherous official of the Miyoshi family, and I am in vain for my slander."  Toukang-den, the young prince and his lord were killed with vicious hands, and even Mikyu-den was killed by an old man who was fighting in Yamato country. I Jiuxiu refuses to accept it! It is true that I slandered and killed Tonkang-den in vain.  But this matter cannot be done by me alone. If there are no friends, it will definitely not be possible. It is nonsense to poison the young palace and kill the lord. Killing the young palace will only bring harm to me, Jiuxiu. " "The father and son are together!  He came here to visit the grave before the anniversary ceremony, just to vent the pressure in his heart. Who told him to do some shady things full-time in Sanhao's house these years?  He uses all kinds of tactics such as assassination and frame-up, and he plays the role of a feared and disgusted scavenger in Miyoshi's family. ??????????? The loyal warriors hate him, the self-proclaimed brave warriors are afraid of him, people always subconsciously hate the clawed hawks and dogs, and prefer the moral and courageous samurai to the smart and gentle Miyoshi Yoshihide.  Anzhai Dongkang, who is kind and courteous to others, is like a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard.  There are only a few people who like him. His interpersonal relationships are poor and there are almost no true friends in the system. Every colleague who interacts with him is cautious with various thoughts. In Miyoshi's family, he is also an isolated and direct minister.  Only by being isolated can Miyoshi Changqing be able to use him with confidence, and he is a pawn for Miyoshi Changqing to practice the method of trade-offs.  Matsunagahide is only a small part of this system.  He is still a relatively isolated minority in the Miyoshi family. Even if he has excellent execution ability and has made many military exploits in recent years, Yamato is very impressive. In order to integrate into the Miyoshi family system, he is willing to lower his seniority and become Miyoshi Changqing's son-in-law. He still cannot  Covering his origins as a merchant rather than a warrior.  Just like many ordinary samurai families during the Warring States Period, this is a clan with the Miyoshi family as its Miao name. The Awa Ogasawara clan, the Settsu Akutagawa clan and other clans have many human resources. Even the retainers of the generation are mostly  The imperial family members are closely related to each other, which makes it difficult for family members who are not from the Miyoshi family to get along well.  Matsunagahide is not as good as Iwanari Tomomichi among the Miyoshi trio, and the difference between him and Miyoshi Changqing's son-in-law is not small.  After all, Iwanari Tomomichi came from Kyoto Shokan and was a well-known cultural figure. He knew a lot of wealthy businessmen and cultural figures in Kyoto and Sakai Town. Both of them initially followed the official route, but their personal experiences were very different.  As Miyoshi Changqing¡¯s son-in-law, Iwanari Tomomichi knew that his ability was limited and chose to follow Miyoshi Changqing¡¯s footsteps.  His behavior was relatively stable and he was not too scrupulous. Matsunaga's ambitions were greater and he was more unwilling to be lonely. He felt that sooner or later, he would be reduced to insignificance, so he changed his career to strive for military success and become a general.  His strategy was very successful. In the past ten years, his status in the Miyoshi family has increased rapidly, which has further aroused the fear and hostility of everyone in the Miyoshi family. Kinai's cake is so big, and if he gives more to Matsunaga Hide, he will have to give less.  Sanhao family has one family and one family, and the pine is always beautiful.?The more powerful he is, the more people dislike him. Matsunaga was so ostracized in recent years that it was difficult for him to intervene in government affairs, forcing him to take the upper-level route and cling to Miyoshi Yoshihiro's lap to stabilize his position.  It is the best thing for him that Miyoshi Yoshihiro survives, because he is very familiar with Miyoshi Yoshihiro, the successor of the family governor. For more than ten years, the family elder has had a deep relationship with Miyoshi Yoshihiro, and Miyoshi Changkei also  It is more reassuring to let the legitimate son establish a deep friendship with this lonely minister. It is more reassuring to be close to a lonely minister than to be close to a powerful and prestigious generation such as Miyoshi Yixian and Anzhai Dongkang.  The sudden death of Miyoshi Yoshihide in the Battle of Kumeda was one of the biggest joys of that year. However, in fact, this incident only affected Miyoshi Chokei. It was nothing more than a major reduction in Miyoshi Chokei's ambitions. It took several years.  Time is used in a semi-retired state to smoothly help his legitimate son through the adjustment period of taking power. As long as his legitimate son is alive and healthy, Miyoshi Nagakei can abdicate and become a monk with peace of mind, live in seclusion at Nansong Temple, practice meditation, and occasionally go to Sakai Town to attend a few events  Aren't leisure activities such as tea parties and singing parties very chic and comfortable?  Matsunagahide can also follow suit. Miyoshi Yoshihiro's appointment as the family governor will definitely be inseparable from his loyal eagle dog to protect him. Now Matsunagahide is an old man in his sixties. It will not take long before he retires and replaces his legitimate son Matsuhisa.  Nagamichi came to power because of his good personal relationship with Matsuyoshi Yoshihiro and his achievements over the years.  It will not be difficult to achieve the status of an important minister and family elder in the future.  As a lone minister in the Miyoshi family tree, Matsunagahide has long been tied to the chariot of the Miyoshi family. The future of the Miyoshi family and Matsunagahide's profits are inherently related to both prosperity and loss.  The bright future he got was exchanged for Miyoshi Yoshitsugu to pursue an unknowable and uncertain future.  No matter how you look at it, this transaction looks like a loss.  The death of Miyoshi Yoshihiro was an accident. Since the turmoil in Kyoto in the sixth year of Yonglu, Miyoshi Yoshihiro lost the opportunity to marry the daughter of the general family. Miyoshi Chokei selected young, beautiful and healthy Wu family girls at home to serve as his maid.  This is actually a relatively normal situation in this era. This is how many samurai came to be who were not born into the royal family but were still direct descendants.  For example, the biological mothers of many emperors in the imperial family are female concubines rather than empresses or middle palaces.  Because the empress or the middle palace could not give birth to a child, the female concubine who was the concubine had a child. There are many examples of this from ancient times to the present. At the time of the Ashikaga family, it was the direct descendant of Ashikaga Yoshitari and Ashikaga Yoshitsune.  It is also Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's maid's room.  "Flattery to the three good righteousness is self-defeating and kills people. It's like flattering a horse in the leg."  Miyoshi Yoshihiro originally had great hopes of inheriting the family business and becoming a promising king, but unfortunately all of this was completely interrupted by Miyoshi Yoshihiro's sudden death, and all the beautiful illusions came to nothing.  The sudden death of Miyoshi Yoshihiro ended all the beautiful visions. Miyoshi Nagakei suffered from the pain of losing his only child in middle age and once lost his normal thinking ability, forcing Matsunaga Hide who was preparing to enjoy his old age to get angry straight away. The real crisis urgently made new political choices.  , supporting the relatively weak Miyoshi Yoshiki to ascend the throne.  It is barely in line with Matsunagahide's basic interests, but after taking this step, he has no way out.  Matsushita Nagahide bowed again and said: "My lord, Young Master, please forgive my Jiuhide's recklessness. It is inevitable that the Miyoshi family will fall into chaos and decline. The short-term balance and stability of the family will eventually be broken. I, Jiuxiu,  All we can do is protect ourselves for the benefit of our Matsunaga family. Whether the Miyoshi family's business can be saved depends on the achievements of the new lord." He stared at the lines of writing on the support tower and said nothing for a long time until Matsunaga passed.  Suddenly he said: "Father, someone seems to be coming, let's leave first!" After a while, several young warriors holding boxes and cages came over, looking down at the sacrifices placed in front of the offering tower.  Miyoshi Shinzaemon, the younger brother of Miyoshi Nagafusa, asked strangely: "Who were those two people just now? Why did they come here to worship at this time." "Perhaps it is as we thought, to avoid the excitement of Jiji,  Come in advance to clean up the Juguangyuan Temple." Miyoshi Masamori looked thoughtfully at the two figures leaving in a hurry, feeling that there was something familiar about the figures of the old and the young.  Miyoshi Yasutoshi and Miyoshi Masakatsu are cousins. They are close in age and get along well with each other.  Ever since the deaths of Miyoshi Yoshihiro and Anzai Fuyasu, the relationship between the two people has become closer and closer. Seeing him looking at the disappearing figures in the other corner of the tower forest in ecstasy, he whispered: "Have you noticed that Uemon Weiden has noticed it?  The two people seem to be Matsunaga Danmasa and his son. " Miyoshi Masakatsu said to himself, no wonder he looks familiar. If you look closely, the figure really looks like Matsunaga Hide's walking posture. He thought about it and asked casually: "How can you tell?  "A few days ago, Matsunaga Danzheng was wearing that outfit to meet friends in Kyoto. I must have taken advantage of this opportunity to visit friends when I came to Kyoto. "   Miyoshi Yasutoshi's reminder reminded everyone of Matsunaga's actions. Miyoshi's leader Mizumasa Tokiyoshi said: "The father and son have been very active in Kyoto in recent times. I don't know what plot Matsunaga is thinking about in the main hall." "No.  Are you going to kill the lord?" Several samurai looked at each other with expressions of disbelief, and said with some uncertainty: "Maybe it won't be so vicious, right? After all, there are many powerful samurai in the family, and there are so many pairs of eyes staring at Matsunaga.  The correct action" Miyoshi Masakatsu coughed and said, "Don't listen to the rumors in the market, it's unreasonable." "Haha, I also heard that the rumors in the market are because of Manshoinden (Ashikaga Yoshi).  The curse of Haru caused my Miyoshi family to suffer misfortune one after another. Don¡¯t you think this is ridiculous?¡± Miyoshi Yasujun grinned for a while, then noticed that several samurai looked thoughtful, and said: ¡°You can¡¯t really do that!  Do you believe this rumor? " "It's hard to say After all, the power of ghosts and gods is beyond our ability to guess. When Wansong Yuandian passed away, there seemed to be such rumors. " " Mainly.  The reason is that the deaths of Son Taroden, Settsu Shouden, and Jukoinden were too bizarre. They died one after another without any notice. By the time I learned the news, the beginning and end had been dealt with, so I was asked to wait.  Everyone is still confused about the death of the three His Highnesses.¡± Miyoshi Masakatsu knelt down in front of the altar and said seriously: ¡°The actions of the three Miyoshi people have been very strange recently. It seems that there are military mobilizations. I don¡¯t know.  What kind of conspiracy is brewing in Matsunaga Hall" PS: I bow and thank my book friend Xiao Zimu for the reward.
