"Of course, but the most recent one dates back to the time of Prince Tadafusa three hundred years ago, and the reasons are very complicated. Before that, most of the people who returned to the imperial throne were the children of Emperor Uta's brothers. How easy is it for others to return?" "But now? I think this is the only way," Jiu Xiu said: "If Xiangguo is allowed to return to the imperial family as a direct descendant of the Genji family, then the power of the shogunate will be the power of the imperial court, and the blessing of the shogunate will be the blessing of the imperial family, and the crisis will be relieved. There is a precedent for the posthumous gift of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu as the "Royal Emperor of Rokuonin". These are just false names, so what if they are given to him. This move can resolve the troubles that have plagued the imperial family for thousands of years. Your Majesty, please consider it carefully. " "You are right. It makes sense." Emperor Gohanashan nodded slightly, "But even if I am willing, will the Prime Minister be willing? Returning to the imperial family will create a barrier with other samurai families. This must be Besides, under what name can we return?" "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much, Prime Minister? Before he became the elder of the Genji clan, he started his business with the help of the Toyotomi clan. At that time, he was different from other martial arts families. Now that it has opened, why do you care about this? As for what name it will be, this needs to be discussed by the ministers, so I can't say more. " "It makes sense." Emperor Gohanashan thought it was true, so he invited Guan Baiju Pavilion Qingji to discuss it overnight. After long discussions, it was considered that Hideho was born in the same year as Emperor Gokayama. In order to have a closer relationship and to better comply with God's will, Kikuttei Haruyuki and Tsuchimikado Hishu and others suggested that he should be recognized as the emperor's younger brother and included in the "Masachimachi Emperor-" ¡ªPrince Chengren" lineage. Hou Huashan thought about it for a long time, and finally agreed to the idea after everyone persuaded him. On April 12, Emperor Gohanayama returned to Japan, and Hideho held a grand farewell ceremony. Looking at the newly renovated and extraordinary new imperial palace, Emperor Gohanayama was deeply moved. Three days later, the official prince was announced. Hideho declined three times, but finally accepted the order, and officially changed his name to Hidehito on the 18th. His sons also changed their names to Xianren, Manren, Qingren, Xingren, Takahito (Hidetora), and Qingren respectively. , Xiaoren. Emperor Gohanayama gave Fushimi Palace the reward and the palace name "Fushimi Palace", which was Prince Fushimi Palace Hohito. Hideho finally returned to the imperial family as a direct descendant of the Genji family. Since then, he still served as a prince and minister of Taizheng. However, after petitioning the court for approval, he gave up the position of General of the Conquest of Yi to his legitimate son, Prince Manren. At the same time, Emperor Gohanayama was invited to marry Mitsuruto's legitimate daughter, Prince Sadakouchi, as his royal wife, and the Emperor happily agreed. The next month, Emperor G¨kayama followed the advice of Onny¨ry¨ and sought the opinions of Fushimi Palace and the shogunate, and decided to change the title to "Kaikai" the following year. Hideho donated 40,000 koku from Yamashiro as the emperor's palace. From March to August of the first year of Kaikai (1623), Uesugi Kagekatsu and Kuroda Nagamasa passed away one after another. They all made a smooth transition in accordance with the shogunate system such as "The Laws of the Samurai" and "Tianen Order". They were regarded as examples of daimyo outside and were well received. received the shogunate's commendation. In June of the second year of Kaikai (1624), due to the impact of typhoons and heavy rains, Takamatsu Domain Lord Fukushima Masanori applied to the shogunate to repair Takamatsu Castle, and at the same time made emergency repairs to the damaged parts without authorization. However, the shogunate believed that he violated the "Samurai Laws" by repairing it without authorization before the application was approved. Fukushima Masanori hurried to Koriyama to apologize to the shogunate and said that he would destroy the parts that were modified without authorization. But afterwards, the shogunate sent a special person to conduct a secret investigation and found that he had not destroyed the unauthorized repairs as it was. They believed that he had ignored the authority of the court and the shogunate, and decided to confiscate all the 454,000 shi he had from China and the United States. Fukushima Masanori was so frightened that he went to Osaka and Wakayama several times to seek help from Kodaiin and Hideyori. The two of them missed their old relationship, especially Hideyori, who didn't care too much about the betrayal back then, but jointly asked Hideho to reduce the punishment. Hideho finally decided to transfer Fukushima Masanori to the two counties of Chikuzen Yesu and Theodore for 54,000 koku, and removed him from the post of judge of the Military and Health Department. A few months later, Kodaiin died of illness at the age of seventy-seven. After consulting Hideyori, Hideyoshi buried him with Toyotomi Hideyoshi. In April of the following year, Hidemoto Mouri, Hideho's brother-in-law and lord of the Hiroshima domain, died of illness. Since he had no heirs, the family fell into crisis. In order to protect the Mouri family, Hideho's sister Daizenin asked Hideho to adopt a son to inherit the Hiroshima domain. In the end, Hideho decided to adopt the second son of Prince Takahito into the Mori family. In June, he went from Shima Kiyosaki to Hiroshima to serve him as Motori Gentora, and the Mori family name was also upgraded from foreign to genealogical. In the late autumn of this year, Emperor Wanli, who reigned for fifty-three years, passed away, and the Ming Empire, a warship reborn from the ashes, was handed over to Emperor Taichang. It can be said that King Fu cleared the biggest obstacle for Emperor Taichang to finally ascend the throne, and the one who played a key role was Hideho. Although I don¡¯t know what Emperor Wanli talked with him that night, judging from the subsequent development, it was undoubtedly beneficial to Emperor Taichang Jianzuo. In addition, Emperor Wanli¡¯s attitude towards Xiubao later made him pay special attention to his relationship with Xiubao. Knowing that Wanli died and the new emperor ascended the throne, Hideho went to Beijing in personThe master paid tribute and congratulated him, and asked Prince Manren to succeed him as the king of Japan. Emperor Taichang immediately agreed and gave him the name Zhu Dunyi. Hideho lived in the capital for more than three months and was highly trusted by the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty. During this period, he frequently went in and out of the capital under imperial orders and visited princes and ministers, which further strengthened the ties between the two countries. In June of the fourth year of Kaiyuan (1626), Juting Qingji became an official because of old age and weak strength. The position of Guanbai was vacant. Hideho directly asked Hideyori to be Guanbai. Hideyori refused to give up, but Hideho felt that this was the wish of Hideyoshi, Yodohime and even Ishida Mitsunari and others, so he persuaded him many times and finally forced him to agree. Of course, there is a relationship between Hideho and the shogunate, but more importantly, Hideho's identity and status in the shogunate are now different from those in the past. It is advantageous to send a Guanbai with a false reputation not only as a favor, but also to earn a good reputation. harmless. This was the first time in 30 years since Hidetoshi dismissed Guanbai in the fourth year of Bunroku (1595), and the Toyotomi family once again took over the post of Guanbai. Hideyoshi's old ministers finally got what they wanted, and Hideyori became the governor of the family. The throne was given to his legitimate son Hidemitsu. Soon, Hideho, who became a prince, resigned from the post of Taizheng Minister and gave it to Konoe Suikiki, the grandson of Kikutei Seikiki (adopted into the Konoe family). In the following years, Hideho focused on improving the authority of the imperial court headed by Fushimigu Shrine, and Prince Mitsuhito also intended to replace the authority of the shogunate with the authority of the imperial court, striving to achieve true integration from form to substance. Although Emperor Gohanayama and other royal families were pleased with this, many ministers were uneasy because of Hideho's increasing control over them. Now, Emperor Gokayama, who is nearly 50 years old, has no heirs, which makes them even more worried about whether Hideho will interfere with the succession of the throne. In October of the ninth year of Kaikai (1631), Emperor Gohanayama went on a boat ride at Fushimi Imperial Palace at the invitation of Hideho. He accidentally slipped and fell into the lake. Although he was rescued in time and came ashore, the water choked his lungs. In addition, he was frightened and frightened, and caught cold in autumn. Cause pneumonia. Despite careful diagnosis and treatment by famous doctors, his condition continued to go from bad to worse, and he was even unable to speak after more than a month. In this regard, all parties have their own calculations. The first to attack were the ministers. They quoted the old imperial rules and asked Emperor Gohanayama to select a descendant of the clan as his heir as soon as possible and establish him as the Eastern Palace. However, Hideho expressed his doubts about Gongsei's approach to Emperor Gohanayama. Emperor Gohanayama himself believed that his health was not as bad as they thought and he could still cope with daily affairs, so he rejected Gongsei's proposal. He also entrusted Hideho to issue an edict to everyone, believing that the imperial family's problems should be solved by the imperial family, and no ministers or daimyo could participate. This undoubtedly caused dissatisfaction among the ministers.
