    At the beginning of the first month of the twelfth year of Eiroku (1569), the light snowfall for many days gradually stopped. Ashikaga Yoshitoki came to visit Konoe Kenko at Goshohana-no-in. He would come here to visit his sister-in-law almost every few days.  Reminiscent of the unparalleled elegance he had seen many years ago, Konoe Kenko now looks more mature, with a permanent sadness on his face that makes people feel pity.  Ever since the Eiroku Great Rebellion broke out, Konoe Kenko had traveled to Kanto. During this period, he had suffered a lot. Secondly, the annihilation of her husband and aunt almost killed this woman. She had a high fever as soon as she arrived in Edo.  Unable to afford the illness, Teruko and Junko were so frightened that they cried loudly and begged for help from their mother whenever they met.  Nagata Tokumoto personally diagnosed and treated her, and it took a lot of effort to bring her back from the brink of death. When Mr. Shikamaru Zen quietly told Ashikaga Yoshi, the cold poison accumulated in Konoe Kenko's body had not been cleared away, and her excessive worries over the years had further intensified.  Due to her condition, there was almost no chance of recovery from this sudden blow. Konoe Kenko spent nearly three months in the hospital bed. It was only recently that she got out of bed to try to recover, but her brows never relaxed again.  Today is the customary follow-up day. Nagata Tokumoto checked Konoe Kenko's pulse for a moment, and then prescribed a few warm prescriptions and handed them over. He warned, "Odaishoden is in strong health, and his condition is recovering much faster than expected.  It's better. It is expected to be cured in another two months. However, you need to pay attention to maintenance in the future. Whether the root of the disease will fall depends entirely on warmth. During this period, you can soak in hot springs appropriately, which will help to expel cold symptoms.  "Thank you for your hard work, sir. My sister-in-law was saved thanks to his wonderful hands." Nagata Tokumoto stood up and said, "It is my duty as a doctor to save lives and heal the wounded. This is what I should do. I don't dare to take His Highness' praise as an example."  , I would also like to thank His Highness K¨­kata for moving the Ashikaga School to Edo, so that more doctors can be trained to help patients. This is a good deed of immeasurable merit!" Watching Nagata Tokumoto slowly leave, he turned around and looked back.  Konoe Kenko looked gloomy, and Ashikaga Yoshitoki sighed quietly: "The general's suffering is a tragedy for the shogunate. It is also a shame for my samurai family. This is not a family feud or a temporary grudge. Please believe that my sister-in-law will be the best when I am a shogunate."  I will recover this blood debt, give justice to my sworn brother, and give my Ashikaga family a peaceful and peaceful land." Konoe Kenko was wearing simple mourning clothes, with a sad expression.  Seeing the two daughters, one old and one young, playing in the courtyard, I couldn't help but burst into tears and cried: "If I hadn't cared about the two young children being alone, I would have drowned myself in the river early and died, and I would have sinned this life."  " Ashikaga Yoshishi said awkwardly: "Sister-in-law, please don't say that. The two princesses cannot leave their mother, and the shogunate cannot lose a kind-hearted minister, and the sister-in-law must not have the thought of committing suicide.  It is your sister-in-law's duty to try your best to live a better life and keep your enemies awake at night." Konoe Kenko wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, pulled herself together and said, "I understand, thank you Yoshitsune for taking the time to come see me.  This widowed woman has given me so many things that I can¡¯t even use them all. Please bring them back when you are ready.¡± ¡°Hey, this is not a special favor given to my sister-in-law, it¡¯s just given according to Hu Ji¡¯s daily equipment.  With the same treatment, it is very hard for the sister-in-law to take care of the two princesses. These mundane things such as gold and silver utensils are nothing. As long as the sister-in-law and the princesses are healthy, these are not a problem. " The time to return to the imperial palace is approaching.  At noon, I had a meal with a few companions in the Imperial Palace to discuss the just-concluded Oshu Ichiku pacification.  The Oshu Crusade Army, under the command of Mogami Yoshimitsu, easily crushed the Hao Oku Ikku that had affected several counties. As they marched north, countless small and medium-sized wealthy families were annihilated, and more and more people from the country joined the Crusade Army.  This is a war that is either friend or enemy, life or death. In order to establish the influence of Oshu, the Kanto Shogunate raised the banner of the peace order high and swept away any Oshu people who tried to resist the edict.  As the vanguard of the Oshu Crusade in the first town, the Oshu nationalist Oura Nobu was very active. He took the initiative to expose the southern clan leader Ishikawa Takanobu and secretly instigated and funded the Oshu Ichiku riot.  And as the first line to capture Ishikawa Castle and obtain Ishikawa Takanobu's head.  A general likes to win a decisive victory. With such a shrewd and capable local man assisting him, Mogami Yoshimitsu's mouth was so happy that he was so happy. So when the battle achievements were tallied up, he reported the results to Ashikaga Yoshitoki, and attached the letter of Oura's departure from the Nanbu family.  Moreover, Ashikaga Yoshitoki agreed to his request without thinking too much about the Tsugaru clan's request, and a new and powerful daimyo was born in Oshu, Tsugaru nobunobu.  The Nanbu clan was once again implicated. Northern Nobuai, Minami Nagagi, Higashi Masakatsu and other clans were successively punished by having their titles reduced and reprimanded. The current governor of the Nanbu clan, Nanbu Nobunao, was also punished. His biological father, Ishikawa Takanobu, instigated a conspiracy and as a result  How could the legitimate son of the bandit leader be exempted from his fault alone?  Mogami Yoshimitsu took Nanbu Nobunao to Edo Castle for questioning. This thorny problem was posed.In the face of the uprising, it seems inappropriate not to deal with it. Dealing with it is likely to trigger a new wave of rebellion in the southern families. It is better not to fight at this juncture, or to try not to fight, not to mention that it is the distant Mutsu country.  Ashikaga Yoshitoki's attitude is very simple. Nanbu Nobunaga cannot and is not suitable to handle. The best way is for the governor to stay in Edo Castle as a close minister of the shogunate. The Nanbu territory is left to the family elders to manage themselves, and the Kanto shogunate will  The acting officials appointed by the association will serve as supervisors. If the genealogical family members are found to have behaved inappropriately, they will be punished as appropriate.  This approach is very similar to the way Imagawa Yoshimoto treats the people of the Toe country. He sends his own samurai to serve as family elders who serve the people of the country, and uses his special status to secretly control the household affairs. For example, the Ii family was torn apart by Ono Michio.  Ashikaga Yoshitoki felt that this approach was too harsh, so he chose a compromise method, similar to the meaning of appointing acting officials to supervise and implement in the late Tokugawa period.  The afternoon evaluation meeting didn't last long. Just when the meeting was about to end, the valet came in and delivered the news. Konoe Maekaku brought his family to Edo. Ashikaga Yoshitoki hurriedly left his government affairs behind and headed to Edo.  Minato greeted him, but he didn't expect to find that Konoe Maekaku's carriage and horses had just entered the palace as soon as he left the palace.  "Brother! I miss you so much after not seeing each other for so many years!" When he saw the elegant and elegant Konoe Maekuya growing a beard and transforming into a majestic and mature middle-aged man, Ashikaga Yoshitoki laughed and said, "I haven't seen any change in my brother after being pampered for several years.  Sure enough, the water and soil of Kyoto are better for nourishing people! " "Hey! In my opinion, this Edo Castle is also a rare paradise! When I first arrived at Edo Port, I thought I was going back to Sakai Town, such a big city.  Was it built in the past few years by Yoshitoki?" Konoe Maekaku looked at the spacious garden-style palace in amazement. Even in winter, he could see green trees. He admired: "Even the emperor's interior is probably not as big as yours.  One-tenth of this imperial palace!" The two brothers had not seen each other for many years and were about to join hands, but they didn't expect a soft voice from behind: "Brother! It's so rude to pretend not to see Sheng Ji!  "Oh! Look at my memory. How could I forget Shengji!" He turned around with a smile and saw an elegant and demure lady holding two children on each side.  The children stepped out of the carriage. The three girls, three boys, and four children were the children raised by Konoe Maekyu and Ashikaga Katsuhime over the years. The eldest daughter, Maeko, had grown into a slim and beautiful girl, and the youngest brother was still a little boy who had just turned one year old.  baby.  Ashikaga Yoshitoki was surprised and said: "We haven't seen each other for so many years, and Katsuhime has become more and more beautiful. I almost can't recognize the little girl I used to be!" "I still remember when I was a child, Katsuhime liked to pester my brother to tell fairy tales.  Ji told all these fairy tales to the children, and they admire you as an uncle!" Ashikaga Katsuhime hugged her youngest son and said, "Call uncle uncle cluck!"  The little baby reached out to pull Ashikaga Yoshitoki's beard, which made him frown and make the children laugh.  The eldest daughter, Konoe Maeko, performed a ladylike ceremony: "Meet my uncle." "You are the little princess of the Konoe family, Maeko! You are so beautiful, just like your mother when she was a teenager." Ashikaga Yoshitoki smiled slightly,  Said: "We will be a family from now on. I will take you to see your future husband Jinoumaru later. He is already a mighty little samurai!" Konoe Maeko lowered her head shyly and huddled behind her mother.  Not daring to raise his head, Ashikaga Katsuhime said with a smile: "Brother, you must be too anxious! You frightened me, and your Jinoumaru has no wife!" "Don't be frightened, Jinoumaru's wife is  Blessed by the God of Liberty!" With a smile, the group of people meandered into the heart of the imperial palace. Along the way, the guards could not forget to admire the beauty of the garden-style imperial palace.  The scenery is as beautiful as the ruins of Mount Hiei Gate near Kyoto. Ashikaga Yoshitoki arranged a private courtyard for this family, which is no less than the Konoe Residence in Kyoto and has complete facilities.  That night, a welcome banquet was held to entertain Maeseki Haku Konoe Maekyu. At the banquet, Konoe Maekyu announced the appointment of the imperial court in a high-profile manner, which immediately caused a huge sensation. Kitahata Sobo said with a smile: "The two Ukonoe generals and right horses  Liao Yujian, doesn¡¯t it mean that His Highness Gongfang has taken the orthodox path of being promoted to generals in the past dynasties? His arrangements in the imperial court are indeed not in vain!¡± Ben Duoshi was clenching his fists, excited!  He said: "Of course it was not in vain. His Highness Gongfang is wise and powerful. He has worked hard in Kyoto for twenty years and spread out no less than 800,000 guanwen. Most of the ministers in Kyoto have inherited His Highness's favors, and some have been involved in the past.  Hakudon is a sworn brother, and the former inner palace is an uncle, and his connections are all over the capital. How can he be compared to Ashikaga Yoshiaki who has no foundation?" For a while, the Kanto samurai were talking about it, and many young samurai couldn't help it.  Dreaming about a better future.  However, at this time Uesugi KenshinHowever, he suddenly coughed and silenced the ministers, and said slowly: "What is more important is the hint from His Majesty the Emperor. You should know the significance of General Youda to our Kanto samurai. The former Kanto samurai received the General Youda during the Jianjiu period."  Who is Mr. Lai Chao of Yuan? "The warriors raised their fists and shouted: "Wrong! It's not just General Zhengyi!  The pillar of the military family!" Uesugi Kenshin turned around, bowed his head and said, "Please raise an army to attack the evil general Ashikaga Yoshiaki of Kyoto! Give me the pure land of Kawachi Genji!" "Please give the order, Your Majesty!  We are willing to die for His Highness, Sanada Yukitaka, Hojo Tokimasa, Satake Yoshige, Mogami Yoshimitsu, Date Terumune, Yuki Haruto and other samurai knelt on the ground one by one, looking at the high position with expectant faces.  The monarch who has been silent for a long time, as long as he gives an order, the Kanto warriors will rise up.  But at this moment, Ashikaga Yoshitoki hesitated. He glanced at the familiar faces in the hall and sighed: "I understand your intentions. Oda Nobunaga's intention to break the alliance has been confirmed, and the changes in Kyoto have made things right."  It's a good time to take action. If you send troops at this time, you can catch them unawares, but the backup plan I prepared will not be used!" Hojo Ujiyasu frowned and asked, "My Lord, what kind of backup plan is it?"  I have enough reason to raise an army, but the stupid Ashikaga Yoshiaki will take the wrong step. What awaits him will be a series of fatal consequences. The time left for you is running out! " Ashikaga Yoshitoki is not here!  Giving them a chance to ask questions, he continued: "Yu is going to announce a major initiative at this time to recruit the Kanto imperial family!" The popular Oshu Feng Yun'er believed it, and suddenly said in surprise: "The imperial family! Your Highness still wants to  Are you insisting on rebuilding the Imperial Family? " Former Furukawa Family Genealogy Elder, Kada Harusuke said distressedly: "Yes! His Highness has said many times that the Imperial Family must be rebuilt, but how to rebuild it after all?  After many years of system, there is still a big difference between the public servants and the imperial family." The discussion below was raging, and various voices reached the ears of the few warriors, and the elders of the family were also communicating with each other.  Reflecting on his own opinion, when his voice gradually became quieter, Ashikaga Yoshihide added: "There are four core members of the Kanto royal family, the first is the Bando Hachihei clan, the second is the Fuji clan, among which the Hidego clan is the leader, and the third is the Hidego clan.  Genji clan, the fourth clan of courtiers." Uesugi Kenshin opened his eyes and said calmly: "The Bando Hachihira clan! We really want to rebuild the Bando Hachihira clan! The Kanto samurai want to reestablish order.  Is the clan about to rise again? "The branches of the Bando Hachihei clan are spread throughout Kanto and even the whole world. For example, the first-class bloodlines of the Miura Party and the Chichibu Party are mainly concentrated in Musashi and Sagami, and the Chiba Party is mainly in the Fusui Peninsula and Kamakura.  The party was in Ueno and Echigo, the Grand Party was in Hitachi Province, not to mention the destruction of Hojo, Toi, and the decline of Kumagaya, which made actual calculations very troublesome.
