Just when Takigawa Tokimasu was about to activate his taunting talent, he was quietly pulled back by his friend Shima Tokikatsu beside him. He gave him a wink that seemed to say, look at the expressions around you before you speak. Only then did this guy realize
Kira Yoshi's face looked very unhappy, and he immediately shrank back like a little quail. The awkward atmosphere seemed to be contagious, and it didn't take long for even several people involved to realize that something was not right.
Saito Asanobu opened his mouth wide and made an expression of sudden realization: "There are probably many roads... there are such twists and turns of the story, so the Kiso family is actually just the Kiso family that was separated from the Ueno Numada family? Why not just let the Kiso family
Isn’t it enough for everyone to make a statement? For example, Fujiwara court minister Kiso Iyo Mori Masaru, I believe you can also accept it!"
Numata Toutai reacted very quickly and immediately changed his mind and said: "That makes sense! Why don't we just do it like this?"
What he meant by asking was to give the two families on the opposite side a step down, because Numata Youtai realized that his speech seemed to make the governor very unhappy, and he immediately regretted whether it was too reckless to interrupt like this, so he took advantage of Saito to deliver the letter.
Ladder should quickly distance himself from the relationship and try to act more like a peacemaker rather than a troublemaker.
However, Uematsu Yoshitoyo and Ogasawara Tosukisai seemed to have taken a bullet. Both of them glared at Numata Goyasu and yelled at the same time: "No! This matter must not be let go like this!"
"Hey! Why bother!" Naoe Keizuna hurriedly persuaded: "Why are the two fellow ministers so stiff? The matter of the Kiso clan's false leadership will not be concluded for a while, so it is better to put it aside and wait for the investigation by the people.
After collecting the evidence, how about leaving it to His Highness to make a final decision?"
Ogasawara Dongxuesai shouted: "Yamato Mamoru's words seem to be too indulgent to this thief! I believe that this is the time to severely punish this thief who pretends to be a leader to set an example. We must not tolerate and condone this thief to give him time to respond.
ah!"
"Dou Xuesai is right! Let's discuss this matter again!" Sanada Yukitaka glanced at this ungrateful guy coldly. Then he smiled and said to Matsu Yoshitoyo: "The Kiso family's problems can be dealt with slowly in the future.
With His Highness Kōkata’s wisdom, he will definitely give the Kiso family a proper explanation, so please come to the Shozorenden and be at ease.”
At least Yoshitoyo Uematsu knew that he couldn't make such a fuss at this time. If it continued, it would only make things worse for the Kiso family, not better. So he bowed his head and said, "I am willing to listen to His Highness's decision! I believe that I will be the best choice for you."
Your fairness and wisdom, His Highness will definitely restore the innocence of my Kiso family!"
"Innocent! If the Kiso family is innocent, there will be no dirtier samurai family in the world!" Ogasawara Tosukisai angrily expressed his dissatisfaction with Kamatsu Yoshitoyo's sophistry. We can't blame him for being so impatient and taking this step. It's all because he sees it.
By the time Numata Toutai stepped forward, victory was already certain, but suddenly the situation reversed and turned into an unresolved ending. This was a major blow to his painstaking planning.
Unwilling to let the overcooked duck of the Kiso family fly away, and even more unwilling to borrow a knife to kill people in a plot to kill the Kiso family and then profit from it, Ogasawara Dosukisai forcibly said: "His Majesty Kōkata clearly shows this person!
I will definitely gather samurai to seek self-reliance when I return. I know the temperament of the Kiso family very well, and I also know that the private soldiers hidden by Kiso Iyo Moriyoshi Masaru are there..."
Nagano Yasumasa, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly stood up and shouted: "Shut up! The assessment room is a place where military and national affairs are discussed. How can you be allowed to confuse the public with your monstrous words! Who do you think His Highness and the gentlemen here are?
!Why don’t you retreat quickly!”
"This...this..." Ogasawara Dosukisai was stunned by the scolding. Only then did he realize that everyone looked at him with such terrible expressions. He screamed in pain, but he was only focused on implementing his own plan.
, but he forgot about all the samurai present, and when he turned around and carefully glanced at Kiragi who was sitting in the main seat, his face was expressionless and gloomy at best. At worst, his face was livid, as if someone owed him dozens of dollars.
Wan Guanwen Yongle looks like money.
Obviously, his performance was ruined by him. Kira Yoshitsune was no longer as friendly towards him as he used to be. The eyes of the retainers present looked at him with the word "disgust" written in them. Even his regular friends
Everyone lowered their heads to avoid the glances directed at him. He knew that he was a mixed bag in Kasugayama Castle.
There is really no cure for a bad reputation. With a pragmatic household governor like Kira Yoshitomo, his slogan of leaving no idlers in the house is enough to send him, a retainer who is a sinecure and causes trouble randomly, into the eighteenth level of hell.
.Today's situation is doomed that not only will he be unable to realize his ambition to replace the Kiso family and become the lord of Kiso Valley, but he will also have to tie up his own destiny and future. At the very least, he will end up with a hopeless career, and he will not dare to go in a serious direction.
think.
The evaluation meeting was disrupted by this Ogasawara Dosukisai, and the next few topics were just reviewed and approved. Kira Yoshitoki was in a bad mood and never said a word in the subsequent topics.
After all, the family members also felt that it was boring, as if they were sleepwalking through this embarrassing evaluation meeting.
Returning to the castle tower, Kira Yoshitsune summoned several senior officials of the family and ordered in a cold voice: "Kiso Yoshimasa will definitely rebel after this trouble! Keep an eye on the Kiso family, and kill them immediately if you find anything unusual.
All the lords of the Kiso Valley! Capture all the Kiso clan and escort them to Sado Island immediately without trial."
"Does His Highness Kōkata mean that the Kiso family will definitely rebel?" Matsui Yuzhen asked a little strangely: "That's probably not the case! I feel that the attitude of the Kiso family is quite sincere, compared to that guy who doesn't know how to advance or retreat.
It's much better, and he was forced to deal with it instead of taking the initiative to stir up trouble. It's not easy to be so restrained when the family is insulted."
Yukitaka Sanada pinched his beard and shook his head and said: "Matsui-den only knows one thing but not the other. Even though the Ogasawara-dong Snow Studio is bad in all kinds of ways, there is one thing that is right at last, that is, Kiso Yoshimasa will definitely do something good."
Action, whether you come to Kasugayama Castle to apologize and admit your mistakes in person, or start an army to rebel, you have to choose one of the two. Compared to bowing your head, admitting your mistakes, and leaving your reputation to His Highness for decision, you still have to adopt a fierce attitude of resistance and sacrifice at all costs.
It is more cost-effective to prove one's innocence through a rebellious gesture."
Matsui Yuxian retorted with some disapproval: "This is even more strange. Why are there only two options: apologise, admit mistakes, and raise an army to rebel? Wouldn't it be better if the Kiso family was innocent. In that case, we only need to send envoys to investigate and collect evidence.
, and then publish the news to confirm that the Kiso family has been framed. This will be a happy outcome for everyone!"
Honda Tokimasa suddenly said: "But what if you really weren't framed?"
Matsui Yuxian looked around and found that everyone had expressions of deep approval, and said with some disbelief: "Is it true that the Kiso family is just like what Ogasawara Dongxue Sai said? The Kiso family is a descendant of the Numata family."
Is it a family that was brought out by the disciples? I think this is incredible!"
Namioka Tobo said: "It is very likely that he claimed it falsely, because when I was conquering Shinano, I checked the information in Ina County several times and found many records on the mansions that showed that the lord of Kiso Valley was named Fujiwara Iyo.
I left a note on Mamoru’s monogram, but I don’t know when it suddenly became Minamoto Iyo Mamoru’s monogram. It must have been at some point a hundred years ago that it suddenly became the name of the Kiso family!”
"So if he claimed it falsely, there shouldn't be too many problems, right? Wouldn't it be solved as long as he bows his head and admits his mistake? Just like the method Naoe Yamatomomo mentioned at the evaluation meeting." Matsui Yukan looked at Nao
Jiang Jingzuna, the latter also nodded to him and said: "I don't think we will start fighting like this! After all, the Kiso family has no room to retreat. Even if it is a false leader, it only needs to be stepped down and changed to the courtier's surname.
You can let it go."
Honda chuckled softly and said slowly: "Things will not be that simple. I think some of you still haven't figured out the cause and effect relationship... I would like to ask you, if you are a member of the Dongliang family branch of the Kawachi Genji family, you can do it locally.
It has been running rampant for hundreds of years. Suddenly one day it was revealed that the ancestor was actually taking the name of a famous family.
I wonder which samurai could sit at home calmly and calmly in the face of almost insulting accusations, endure the huge humiliation, swallow this breath, change all his names and family names, and wipe out all the ancestors' memorial tablets in the Bodhi Temple at home?
How about destroying all the references to family background in the documents at home, replacing them with a new courtier’s surname, changing their appearance, and continuing to live?”
There are three things that the Wu family attaches great importance to. They are land knowledge and practice, family lineage inheritance, and family name promotion. Land and food are the foundation of the Wu family and must not be lacking. Anyone who cannot get along with his territory knowledge and practice is his life and death enemy. Family lineage inheritance involves
There have been too many disputes to count, starting with the famous case of Minamoto no Yoshitsuna's injustice. Even the Emperor Sotoku was forced to abdicate by Toba-in.
This was one of the four famous resentful spirits. After he failed to launch the Baoyuan Rebellion that shocked the world, he was completely deposed and exiled to the Sanuki Kingdom. Then he angrily wrote the eight characters "Take the emperor for the people, take the people for the emperor"
, after his death, Kyoto fell into a wave of supernatural events, and then the world was in chaos and the imperial court collapsed. Less than thirty years after his death, the Kamakura shogunate appeared and completely ended the imperial court's rule over the world.
Afterwards, the disputes in the family inheritance became even more numerous. After the death of Minamoto Yoritomo, the dispute between his legitimate son Minamoto Yoriie and his biological mother, Hojo Masako, led to the bizarre incident of his younger brother Minamoto Minatomo becoming a general and being assassinated by his nephew, Monk Akatsuki.
Soya was once challenged by the Megoshi clan, which was a branch of the family. During the founding period of the Ashikaga Shogun family, there was also a dispute between the brothers Ashikaga Takauji and Ashikaga Naoyoshi.
There are also the Eiko Rebellion that led to hundreds of years of turmoil in Kanto, the famous Onito Rebellion, and the Meitu Coup that shocked the world, as well as the ridiculous Ezhou Duke Ashikaga Yoshiharu and Sakai Duke Ashikaga Yoshiki thirty years ago.
The confrontation between the shoguns in the next period was all because the samurai families who controlled the world had problems in their family inheritance, so that the world fell into turmoil, which directly led to the decline of the Muromachi shogunate.
The last one is the promotion of family names. Military names are accumulated by a little military merit. Although it is impossible to have the scene where Genji in Kawachi was respected by all the martial arts families in the world, there is still no problem in getting into a famous family recognized by the shogunate. For example
The Echizen Asakura clan, whose family lineage is unknown, is a role model for many samurai families.
This new famous samurai family emerged during the Onin Rebellion. Before that, it was just a vassal of the Kai clan, the guardian of the third-in-command Shiba clan in Echizen country. Its origin and status were probably similar to those of the Oda family. Kasukabe courtiers and Jibu courtiers
It's also a half-measure. Although the family name can be ranked last, its importance is not much lower than the other two.
The situation encountered by the pretended Kiso family is different, but one thing is similar, that is, being a famous family enjoys many benefits that they have never enjoyed before. The pretended claimant has enjoyed countless honors and various courtesy for nearly a hundred years, such as
It is said that during the Onin Rebellion, the eighth shogun Ashikaga Yoshimasa issued a royal instruction to Ogasawara Masahide, the guardian of Shinano, who was affiliated with the Eastern Army, and asked him to attack the Mino guardians Toki Nariyori and Saito Myotsubaki of the Western Army.
Ogasawara Masahide appointed Matsuo Ogasawara Sadaiki, a member of the clan, to go to Minami-Shinano to contact the Kiso clan, and called it "Kiso-den" in the letter to discuss the dispatch of troops from Minami-Shinano. After that, the Kiso clan enjoyed the benefits and everything went smoothly, even though
It was when Takeda Shingen was running rampant in Shinano, the Tiger of Kai was still willing to marry a daughter to Kiso Yoshimasa, and classified the Kiso family as a royal family with special treatment, so that their clan could not follow the Kiso family.
The little lord of the valley has really come to the larger stage of Kai Shinano.
Although the Takeda family fell off the altar not long afterward due to the decline of the Takeda family, the Ashikaga family who came later also treated the Kiso family with great courtesy. Kira Yoshitoki personally acknowledged his identity as a member of the Minamoto clan, although not as good as his Ashikaga family members.
Being so prominent can lead to the status of a clan, but having the Ashikaga family's personal commitment is a golden sign, and it is even more satisfying than rewarding the Kiso family with land tomoyo.
From this, the small family in a quiet corner of the Kiso Valley in Ina County has stepped up two steps to become the famous Minamoto clan in the Eastern Kingdom. It is conceivable that if the Ashikaga family of Kamizuki can achieve higher achievements in the future, the Kiso family can also rely on the Kawachi Minamoto family.
The reputation of the clan will gradually increase in the future, and it will gradually become a world-famous martial arts family.
But everything was ruined in the hands of this Ogasawara Dosukisai. The family's reputation was torn apart to reveal the bloody and cruel reality. How could the family governor Kiso Yoshimasa endure this tone and pretend not to care about anything, and then ran away?
When he went to Kasugayama Castle to face Kiragi, he bowed his head and admitted his mistake, saying that he had no idea about the deeds his ancestors had done and asked for forgiveness?
"It is conceivable that this Kiso Iyomaru Yoshimasa has no way out. He cannot bow his head and admit defeat, let alone admit that his family is a false leader. It is even more likely that he will refuse the investigation of the followers. Once Kiso Iyomaru is investigated and verified
The family is indeed a false claimant. I believe that these Shinano people who have been deceived for nearly a hundred years and the angry Kiso Valley residents will tear the Kiso family into pieces." Honda Tokimasa's voice was like a dark wind blowing in winter.
, causing the young warriors present to shudder.
ps: The Kiso family is another big liar, with the same nature as the Tokugawa family. In comparison, the former is slightly more reliable than the latter. The difference is about fifty steps to a hundred steps.
