The officials of the Edo Imperial Palace were sitting in the spacious hall. There were no less than five hundred good warriors sitting in the three camps of east, west and south. Each warrior was a well-known martial artist who was famous in Kanto. Just one meeting was enough. We can see the governors of the Sagami Hojo clan, the Hitachi Satake clan, the Oshu Ashina clan, and the Dewa Mogami clan, and the grandeur of their battles attracted the attention of the world's tycoons. As usual, daily government affairs were discussed throughout the morning, and then turned to political discussions at noon. Hosokawa Fujitaka, chief of the Yuren clan, said: "According to the latest intelligence, the Takeda family should fight a big war in Mikawa Kingdom in the near future. , This is the first large-scale operation against Mikawa Kingdom since the seventh year of Eiroku, and it may cause greater turmoil in Tokaido." Yukitaka Sanada chuckled: "Takeda Daisen's recent actions are indeed not small, since March last year. The transfers to Mikawa Junior High School became more and more frequent. Suzuki, Tominaga, Shitara, Suganuma, and Oppei from the Higashi Mikawa Kingdom surrendered one after another. The Chubu clan members Matsudaira Ieji, Matsudaira Masahisa, and Sakai Tadanobu switched to the camp under the transfer of the Takeda family. The Tian family's dominance over the Mikawa Kingdom is gradually weakening. It seems that Takeda Daisen is determined to unify the Mikawa Kingdom to pave the way for the revival of the Kai Takeda clan. "When it comes to familiarity with Takeda Shingen, there is probably no samurai here who is more authoritative than Yukitaka Sanada. The aura of Shinano's wisest general is by no means a mere boast. His achievements as a general under the Takeda family for more than ten years are enough to dazzle many people's eyes. Since joining the Kanto Ashikaga family, he has traveled across Kanto and Oshu, and his reputation is only Under Uesugi Kenshin and Yamamoto Tokiyuki, he gradually gained the capital to compete with Hojo Ujiyasu and Takeda Shingen. "For some reason, when I heard about Takeda Daisen's transfer of Mikawa, I found it very interesting. The Mikawa samurai here must understand this feeling!" Kitahata Soufang squinted his eyes as if he was thinking about interesting things, and time flew by in the past. The young man has transformed into a handsome man in his thirties, and his confident and unrestrained temperament is unforgettable. There are often those with admiration in their hearts casting infatuated eyes. Since the deaths of Kitada Tomabaku and Kitada Tomafusa, the Ise Kitahata family has only one surviving son whose whereabouts are unknown. Ashikaga Yoshitoki took the opportunity to apply to the imperial court for the title of successor to the Kitahata family, the current head of the Namioka Kitahata family, Kitahata Sobobo. , at this moment, he, the three counselors and the right Konoe Lieutenant General, has become a well-deserved and dignified minister and governor of aristocratic families. At that time, Honda was very angry with some poor relatives in Mikawa's hometown. He said with a cold face: "One of the common foods in my Honda family has never changed. I am so devoted to loyalty to Tokugawa Ieyasu and his poor family, but I don't care how much that fool has done in these years." Being rebellious, being so ignorant of the general trend, not knowing how to advance or retreat, and not knowing loyalty, is simply hopelessly stupid! " Matsudaira Ieyasu still stubbornly changed his name to Tokugawa Ieyasu, so he was not a branch of the Kawachi Genji Yoshikuni Stream, a branch of the Nitta Clan, a branch of the Kawa clan. clan, but the Tokugawa clan of an unknown tributary of the Fujiwara Kita family. Anyway, the official life of the court minister was not very satisfactory. Even if he pretended to be a fake, no one could say anything about him. Before the Muromachi shogunate was over, it was a very dangerous act to pretend to take over the Nitta clan tributary of the Kawachi Genji clan. The Nitta clan had the Nitta party in Echigo, Yura Shigege in Ueno who defeated the Kamiwamatsu clan, and the Yamana clan and Kanto Ha in Saikuni. Both the Okuari Satomi clan and the Kinai Odate clan have serious genealogies and detailed records, and there is no room for a fake like him to forcefully claim an unfounded ancestor. In the eyes of Honda Tokimasa, the Honda clan is completely hopeless, including Honda Heihachiro Tadakatsu, Honda Hikosaburo Hirotaka, Honda Sakuzaemon Jujiji, Honda Hikohachiro Chuaji, and Heihachiro's biological uncle Honda Higo Be loyal and true. In addition, there are dozens of junior members of the Honda family, all of whom are die-hard loyal ministers of Tokugawa Ieyasu. Moreover, it is mindless loyalty. He only recognizes Tokugawa Ieyasu and the Matsudaira Tokugawa family. He doesn¡¯t care about other matters such as the Kawachi Genji family or the shogunate¡¯s laws. It doesn¡¯t matter even if the shogunate points out a crusade order. It¡¯s so stupid and He was also loyal and admired by those who admired him, but Honda Tokimasa was not very happy. Not only the Hondo family is in this situation, Shitara Sadachi, Suzuki Shigeji and others also have helpless expressions. Since they left Sanhe Country, they have been separated from each other, and their influence on the clan has gradually diminished over time. If they had not been prosperous in Kanto for more than ten years, they might have been forgotten in the corner by the clan. . Saito picked his ears at Nobu, suddenly laughed and said: "Are we still worried that Mikawa's people are ignorant of current affairs? A single edict can probably make Oda Kamisuke and Takeda Daizen waste their efforts. If they are not convinced, they will fight. Those bastards." Hosokawa Fujitaka disagreed with him: "The key is what if we can't leave Kanto? His Royal Highness's imperial teachings are not fake. It's just that the ordinary samurai family doesn't abide by the law. The master is now in Kanto. The official order of Bando's 100,000 soldiers shocked the world, and every word and action attracted the attention of the world. At this time, we must not destroy the prestige accumulated over more than ten years for a small gain!" Ashikaga Shinohmaru, who was attending the meeting, listened curiously! The elders of the Pudai family kept talking to each other. His uncle UesugiXinxin always held the rosary and meditated without saying a word. His assistant Yukitaka Sanada kept secrets. His academic teacher Nanguangfang Tenkai smiled and said nothing. The uncommon assistant Yamamoto Michiki even did not attend the meeting. It is said that he visited famous mountains and rivers every day to teach his adopted son Yamamoto Heitaro. Heitaro would occasionally come to the imperial palace to accompany him to learn knowledge. His father, Numata Yumitsu, was not only the guardian of the Kaga Han Kingdom, but also a high disciple of Yamamoto Dao's ghost sect. As the legitimate son, he was adopted into the Yamamoto family to inherit the clan. From now on, the Yamamoto family will change from the Seiwa Genji Mansei clan to the Yoshino clan and become the Saka clan. Fortunately, the Higashi Hachihei clan and the Numata clan of the Sanura clan have very similar family crests. The Yamamoto family has the left samba pattern and the Numata family has the right samba pattern. It is easy to change them. Ashikaga Jinohmaru didn't quite understand the meaning of the argument, and the clear childish voice said murderously: "My uncle said that Mikawa Country is the hometown where the Ashikaga family rose. Our Ashikaga family has lived in Mikawa Country for generations since Kamakura, why should we let a bunch of outsiders do it?" How dare you, a Mikawa native, not listen to orders?" The minister was stunned by the young master's words, but when he heard Ashikaga Yoshi, he took out his folding fan and knocked on the tatami, laughing: "How dare you test the sharpness of my Genji sword? This is my Kirin!" The ministers leaned over and were shocked, showing surprise. However, Uesugi Kenshin cleverly praised: "Young Palace is a brave and courageous Genpei samurai!" The spirit of bravery is the blessing of my Kanto shogunate!" Ashikaga Yoshitoki stroked Ashikaga Shinohmaru's little head and said lovingly: "Being brave is the virtue of a samurai, but we must remember that the way to govern is to be gentle. Those who are too strong are easy to break, but those who are kind and soft are undefeated. The best thing is like water. Water benefits all things without fighting. This is the virtue of humility! The weakest thing in the world is water, but it is as soft as water, but water can penetrate stones. It can be seen that the virtue of water is the closest to the road of governing the world. The majestic road has no disadvantages, and water has no disadvantages. "The virtue of water is that it is weak and uncontested, but it can affect the flow of the road. Leaders should not care about temporary gains and losses, but should learn the behavior of water when they don't know how to deal with it. If water flows to a lower place, it will not seek temporary benefits, but it can quietly flow to all directions to nourish all things and wash away the filth. When it is quiet, it will be like water. There are no unfathomable waves in the ancient well of Pinghu, which is ten miles away. When angry, it is like a violent wave sweeping in thousands of miles away. The wrath of divine power shocks thousands of people and bows to them. This is the way of a king. Ashikaga Shinohmaru nodded ignorantly, and gradually recalled the earnest teachings of his teachers from his father's teachings. Each of the samurai who gathered the essence of millions of people in the Eastern Kingdom had extraordinary wisdom, which was imperceptible in such a favorable educational environment. It affects the values ????of young children. After a few words of education for the legitimate son, he said: "The Takeda family wants to seize the land of Three Rivers and One Country, so there is no need to worry about it. If Takeda Ozen wants to conquer it, just let him conquer it. It will also teach the Oda family a lesson so that my in-laws and ally Oda Kamisuke will know his disobedience." This family is not going to end well. If you think Mikawa Kingdom is so easy to win, let him know that you have to be careful about indigestion if you want to win Mikawa Kingdom." The once-a-month evaluation lasted until the evening and ended in a hurry. Ashikaga Jinoumaru was still there in the afternoon. He left early when there were classes, and only a few dozen important ministers remained until the evening. Ashikaga Yoshitoki left a record for the ministers to have dinner in the side hall, and then held a secret meeting in the quiet room of the Imperial Palace. This was similar to The closed-door meeting discussed important matters that were not suitable for public announcement, and it was inevitable to make a summary after the big evaluation meeting. Hosokawa Fujitaka was worried and lamented: "Your Majesty, you have learned a lesson. Nowadays, the chaos in Kyoto is gradually causing the people to be uneasy and commercial unrest. There is a run on gold certificates in many houses in Kyoto, Sakamoto, and Sakai Town. This situation seems to be caused by mountain rain." It is unclear whether the upcoming turmoil will cause greater turmoil in the three places. "It is true what the Ministry of War has said, but it is still unknown whether the Mihaoshi family will support the new general." The intention is becoming more and more obvious. As the situation develops, no matter what His Majesty the General's decision is, it will inevitably lead to a catastrophic disaster" Honda Toki smiled with a strange expression on his face, and his eyes flashed, as if something was brewing. With some shady plots. Kitahata Tatefang held his chin with one hand and thought for a moment, saying: "It is said that during the turmoil in Kyoto, there was an intention to abolish the shogunate in Miyoshi's family. If Miyoshi Chokei's anger did not still have conscience and reason, His Highness the shogun of Nijo Imperial Palace must have been Higashikari Sakamoto has already taken refuge" Hojo Tokimasa's expression changed, and he asked pretending to be puzzled: "Now Miyoshi has died of illness in the repair hall, and the young head of the Miyoshi family has a difficult background and cannot serve the people. What kind of impact does Xiongwei's ambition have on our Kanto Ashikaga family?" All the ministers either sighed or smiled and said nothing. Only Takeda Nobutora, the imperial minister, suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Ashikaga Yoshi with bright eyes. At that time, he said: "Your Majesty, do you want to fight for your direct heir? Do you want to complete the two-hundred-year ambition like the Kanto Imperial Palace? Do you want to do something rebellious?" In an instant, the faces of the important ministers present changed.??, looking at the veteran who was over seventy years old with surprise, he saw that the old man, who was often silent and dazed, had white hair and beard like frost, but he had a rosy complexion and clear and bright eyes, as if he was not over seventy years old. He is an old man, but he is a brave and fearless battlefield general in his forties. "Why bother!" Toki Yoriun and Takeda Nobutora both belong to the royal family, are both governors of famous families in the Genji sect, and are the guardian daimyo of the Muromachi shogunate. At the same time, they were expelled from power by the family members who conspired with each other. It was so miserable that it made the sad listener cry, but Takeda Nobutora still maintained the toughness and stubbornness of a general, which was something Toki Nobuyuki, who could only draw an eagle, could not do. The Kitahata Tower waved his feather fan and said loudly: "Takeda Keishuden's words are serious! Keishuden was once guarded by Kai. You should know that at the beginning of the Warring States Period, the powerful samurai family bullied the weak and ran rampant. They arbitrarily abolished and established the shogunate and interfered with their private rights. The order of the shogunate has brought disaster to the country and the people, and now the troubled times have gradually begun to destroy the country! Now, His Highness K¨kata rises in response to the troubled times. He is originally a member of the Genji Shosaku family. His family is distinguished and his family is respected by the world. He does not accept being weak at his young age. The shogunate took the risk and went to Kyoto to suppress the chaos and eradicate evil spirits at the end of Tianwen. He was then ordered to rebel against Echigo and pacify the evil spirits. In more than ten years, he entered Kanto and attacked Yuao. He marched thousands of miles and fought in all directions. He was invincible wherever he went. The heroes of the land bowed their heads and the common people supported them. I wonder if there is anyone in the modern samurai family who can compare? " Takeda Nobutora remained silent, Toki Raiun was dumbfounded, Hojo Ujiyasu was thoughtful, Uesugi Kenshin smiled happily, and Sanada Yukitaka nodded. Hojo Tokimasa was shocked, Satake Yoshitaka bowed his head in awe, and the ministers looked at Ashikaga Yoshitaka with admiration or reverence, as cool and carefree as they saw, unfazed by honor or disgrace. Hojo Uji Yasushitsu exclaimed: "This is the greatest hero in the world!" This was not over yet. Kitahata Tobobo said again: "Your Highness K¨kata is a wise king! He built a thousand towns and mansions in the desolate countryside of Musashi and moved tens of thousands of people there. In just a few springs and Autumn Period, a prosperous foundation was established that would not be easy for a hundred years. The prosperity of the Kanto Pearl could not be erased by the passage of time. The tree is humble, and rewards and punishments are clearly divided. Kindness and power are given. In just a few years, the people from the Kanto warrior family to the townspeople and farmers are convinced and awed. In a few years, everything goes smoothly and all industries prosper. At this point, the world gradually becomes prosperous. This benevolent and virtuous king created The foundation that has been lost for thousands of years has been admired by the world forever. If you encounter a virtuous king and don't call him out? When the general is in danger of suffering, why can't His Highness, who is sitting on a hundred thousand tigers, aspire to the throne? " This article is so murderous. The words were like a message of crusade against all directions. The shocked samurai trembled and suddenly realized. When they looked at Ashikaga Yoshitoki, their eyes became erratic. As early as many years ago, many Genedai retainers were vaguely aware of Ashikaga Yoshitoki's ambitions. Extraordinary, the move to take over the Kanto Ashikaga family further confirmed the burning ambition. When reciting the imperial book in Edo Castle, winter thunder fell from the sky and shook the surroundings. It was more like gods and Buddhas showing the world their irreversible destiny.
