As soon as he walked out of the Imperial Palace, he was not ready to leave immediately. Cizhao Temple is one of the famous two pavilions in Kyoto. Last time, he came and left in a hurry and didn't even have time to take a look. It would be a loss if he didn't take a look around. In the end, he still
He wasn't even halfway around when he was stopped by someone at Diaoqiuting. The person who stopped him was none other than Naoze Michizan.
"Just a moment after I left the Tsuneo Imperial Palace, Suminose-dono came after me. It seems that Suminose-dono is also a caring person!" Kira Mansumaru held fish food in his hand and threw fish food into the fish pond from time to time. Dozens of fish were in the pond.
The koi are all wide, fat and well-developed. They really live more comfortably than people of this era.
"His Majesty Kira is joking. As the Imperial Physician of the Imperial Palace, I should know the Imperial Palace's itinerary." Naoze Michizan is a middle-aged man in his forties. He is dressed in cleanly starched clerical uniforms and has a shiny bald head, especially his two trousers.
His thick and black eyebrows are very conspicuous, and his smile is very pleasing. He is indeed a lovable guy.
"Tell me, what do you have to say to me, Qu Naose-den?"
"Does His Highness Kira know the detailed condition of the Imperial Palace?" Michizan Qunaose asked cautiously.
"Well, this is the most anticipated question of the Imperial Palace, right? His Highness has already said it."
"I see, since His Highness Kira already knows, I can rest assured." Qu Naoze Michizan breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the incomprehensible expression on Kira Mansomaru's face, and hurriedly left.
"What does this guy mean? What do you mean you can rest assured?" Kira Manshomaru shook his head and sprinkled the fish food in his hands, clapped his hands and slowly walked towards the door.
Kira Manshomaru was ordered to escort the Grand Imperial Palace, which went to Sakamoto Imperial Palace for training. He was accompanied by nearly a hundred shogunate retainers from Sakamoto. In this team, he met Hosokawa Fujitaka for the first time, a famous figure.
He was just a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old. As a member of the shogunate, he was assigned to the safety of the Sakamoto garrison. In fact, it was no different from a vacation.
While Kira Mansomaru was still worried about the future, something special also happened in the land called Echigo Country at the far end of Hokuriku.
In the assessment room of Kasugayama Castle in Echigo Province, Nagao Kagetora is in the center. On the left and right rows are Nagao Kagenobu, Nagao Fujikage, Honjo Minoru, Nakajo Fujisaki, Kakizaki Keie, Naoe Mioka, and Saito.
Asanobu, Hojo Takahiro, Ohkuma Asahide and others, there is a sect among these people, including the Seven Hands Team who initially followed Kagetora. It can be said that Nagao Kagetora relied on the main force to defeat his brother Harukage.
At this time, Nagao Kagetora was holding a letter in his left hand and a strange-shaped wine glass in his right hand. He was drinking heavily from time to time. Next to him, there was a young man sitting on his knees holding a wine flask and adding wine to him from time to time.
"My lord has already drank three bottles of sake, it's better not to drink any more." Honjo Mino persuaded with a worried look on his face.
"Huh? There's no need to worry, Meizuo. I'm still very confident in my ability to drink. Let's read what this letter says... Nowadays, the country is in chaos and all industries are withering. The imperial court and the shogunate are in danger of declining. This is the time when heroes rise up to help the shogunate and put an end to the chaos.
It's an opportunity for the Kou to go down in history... However, the leader of the Echigo Kingdom, Uesugi-den, has no heirs, and the chaos in the country is aroused by wealthy families. This must be a brave and enterprising hero who can pay off the paradise of Echigo... Therefore, Nagao-den is the only one of the lords of Echigo.
select."
"What does this mean? Is that young man from the Kira family trying to persuade his lord to conquer his superiors?" Hojo Takahiro chewed his teeth and showed disdain.
Kakizaki Keike stroked his beard on his chin and said with a surprised look on his face: "Huh? Is this really something written by His Highness Kira himself? It couldn't be someone else's ghostwriting to fool people, right?"
Naoe Mingoka frowned and thought, and after a while he shook his head and said: "It doesn't make sense, that is a mud seal with the Ashikaga Nibiki clan's crest printed on it, and the person who sent the letter did come from Mikawa Country. If it was just the Kira family
It is completely impossible for a member of the sect or a retainer to write a letter to the lord, I really don’t understand it!”
"Your Highness Kira is a member of the royal family of the shogunate, and his status is extremely noble, but why did he write to the lord?" Honjo Minoru frowned and thought.
"I don't know, maybe it's related to the Nagao family!" Saito said, scratching his head.
"Don't worry about it for now and continue to listen to the lord's reading." Nagao Kagenobu knocked on the floor to restore calm in the assessment room. He is the governor of the Nagao family in Suyoshi, the younger brother of Tora Gozen, the uncle of Nagao Kagetora, and also the elder.
The famous fierce general of the O family loved his nephew very much, so his words held great weight.
"The chaos in Echigo was due to the fact that the lord of the country had no heir, and the guardian faction and the guardian sect were fighting against each other. Nagao Danzhengden only needs to be recognized by Uesugi, and he can obtain the position of lord of the country...rebuild the internal affairs, build water conservancy, and support the farming industry.
When the people's hearts are greatly stabilized, and the people's hearts are stabilized, the prestige will be increased, and then supplemented by the establishment of laws and regulations, strict military preparations, and the righteousness of the shogunate to attack the disobedient people, and in the future, troops will be sent to Luoluo to protect the shogunate, and they will definitely become a general of ZTE." Nagao Kagetora flicked the letter.
Fold it and put it away again.
As Nagao Kagetora's teacher, Honjo Minoru sits opposite Nagao Kagenobu, with Nagao Kagetora close to him. In fact, he is also exercising the power of the elder of the family. This powerful generation glances around his colleagues and takes the lead.
Ask: "What does His Highness Kira really want?"
Nagao Fujikage tugged on his messy goatee and said slowly: "It's to revitalize the shogunate, right? The meaning of this has been made clear. It's just that I am far away from Kyoto. How can I rely on the Hokuriku samurai to go to Luo to support the shogunate?
What an innocent Highness you are!”
"Hahaha..." A group of old men burst into laughter. Nagao Kagetora, who was sitting in the main seat, watched the performance of the retainers with a blank face, drinking one cup after another. The young man next to him was holding a wine flask and adding wine in fear.
, from time to time, I would receive the needle-pricking glances from several important ministers.
"Sending my Eastern Kingdom samurai to Kyoto to help the shogunate? From my point of view, Fuji, exchanging clever words for the deaths of tens of thousands of Echigo's soldiers, Lord Kira Oyagata really made a good calculation!" All the ministers present here said.
Zhongjio Tengzi, the only one from the Yangbei clan, also continued.
"No matter what he thinks, as long as it is beneficial to Echigo, we will do it. If it is not beneficial, we will not do it!" Hojo Takahiro was impatient with this kind of conversation, so he interrupted him rudely.
Kakizaki Keike suddenly said: "Hey, why does Bizen Mamoru look so bad? Could it be that he is sick?"
"Okuma Bizenden must be busy with government affairs and not have any rest," Nagao Fujikage said with a laugh.
"Huh? Why did I see that Bizen Mamoru's face was fine just now? Did he get sick so soon?" Saito said to Nobu in amusement.
"Ahem...yeah, I had a bit of cold yesterday, and I'm much better now." Daxiong Chaoxiu also had to hide it.
Nagao Kagetora seemed to turn a blind eye to all this. He held the letter in one hand and a wine glass in the other hand and drank from time to time. After drinking several glasses of wine, he suddenly felt dizzy and then returned to normal.
"What did that feel like just now?" Nagao Kagetora pondered for a moment, watched the wine in the wine glass being refilled, and opened his mouth to drink again.
Dang Dang Dang...
"It's time so soon! Let's end today's evaluation meeting here!" Nagao Kagetora put down his wine glass, stood up and walked out of the evaluation room without any attachment.
"My lord, did you go to meditate and chant sutras again?"
"Yes! My lord is a devout monk of the Soto Sect. Before every expedition, he must bathe and fast for three days to pray for victory."
"By the way, Master Tianshi Guangyu is retiring recently. I heard that he is going to Kakizaki and Izumi to serve as the abbot of Surangama Temple built outside Kakizaki City. I will go to the master to listen to Buddhist teachings some other day. Is it okay for Izumi to do so?
Reject!"
"Hahaha! It's easy to talk! I welcome everyone who wants to go!"
