The first day of the first lunar month of the lunar calendar is Zhengdan, also known as Yuan Day, which is the Lunar New Year. This is the most important festival of the year. Every year, the shogunate holds a Zhengdan court meeting. This year's Zhengdan court meeting is held at Cizhao Temple, and Kira Mansongmaru is the
The name of the family written by the imperial family, Kira Kamisuzaburo, was the first to come to the palace to congratulate the New Year, and then the former governor Hosokawa Harumoto and other shogunate came to the palace several times to congratulate the New Year.
The spacious large room in the Saga Room of the Jishoji Temple Hall was originally used as a place for Ashikaga Yoshimasa of the Higashiyama Temple to meet with retainers and handle matters. It could also be used as a venue for the official court meeting. Kira Manshomaru had the honor to sit in the first left-hand seat of the shogun.
Corresponding to him, the one sitting in the first right-hand seat is Hosokawa Harumoto. The former manager's face is not very good-looking. I don't know if he is angry because he was kicked out by the butler last year.
The Grand Imperial House Ashikaga Yoshiharu and the Imperial Palace did not attend this year's Shodan court meeting. Looking at the disappointed expressions on the faces of some shogunate courtiers who came from afar, Kira Mansomaru shook his head secretly. This was the first time that Ashikaga Yoshiharu and the Imperial Palace presided over the Shodan court meeting since he served as Prime Minister.
At the court meeting, the direct ministers of the shogunate seemed very excited, because the leader of the public, Kira Kamisuzaburo, brought more than 1,500 elites from Mikawa. The spread of this good news was like a shot in the arm for the shogunate, making the solemn court meeting
Adding a bit of fiery atmosphere.
"Dr. Yoshihide, the Rokkaku Sakyo family of Omi Rokkaku, ascends the throne!"
"Yoshihide, the official of the Minamoto court and the Sakyo family of the Rokkaku clan, pays homage to His Highness Kōkata!"
Ashikaga Yoshitō said pleasantly: "Sir Rokkaku, please rise."
In the 18th year of Tenmon, Rokkaku Sadayori retired and gave up the position of the family governor. His successor Rokkaku Yoshihide not only inherited the Rokkaku family, but also accepted Rokkaku Sadayori's political legacy, including taking over the post of Ashikaga Yoshito.
Because he can now be said to be an important minister of the Ashikaga shogun family. Compared with his grandfather Rokkaku Takayori who was driven to Mount Koka as a wild man by two generations of shoguns, he is a world away.
The people who followed the writings sang at the end of the meal: "As a gift to Dr. Liu Jiao Zuo Jing for his righteousness, he received fifty taels of gold, two hundred Yongle coins, five hundred shi of rice as tribute from Jiangzhou, and 20 shi as tribute of tea!"
"Sakyo's loyalty and sincerity to the country is a model for the martial arts!" A group of ministers quickly stood up to greet him.
There were continuous singing and greetings, and many envoys came to pay homage to the general. These envoys were all important ministers appointed by the daimyo to show off. Many daimyo came over with a shy face and still paid nothing. For example, the descendant of Hirogen Oe, the native of An Yun Kingdom, Maori Yuan.
Offer thirty guans of Yongle money to settle the matter.
This is nothing new. The Maori family is quite famous for being stingy. As early as the second year of Astronomy, Maori Gen came to the shogunate to ask for an official position. He asked to be ranked among the top five in the roll call. In the end, he only donated 70 guan.
Compared with more than ten years ago, he is now much more generous in his dealings, at least this time he gave Yongle money.
The Date family still maintains the characteristic of being close to the shogunate and gaining the status of controlling Mutsu. This New Year's court will present a hundred liang of sand gold, two famous horses, and two famous swords. In addition, Kitahata, Oda, Saito, Asakura, and Wakasa
Takeda, Tango Isshiki and other nearby daimyo also sent envoys to present a donation.
The official court meeting ended in one day, but the gift reception lasted for a long time. Some daimyo from far away countries were late due to errors in their departure time, or encountered some accidents on the road. These shogunate had always allowed it to be sent to the Date family in advance.
There are not many envoys coming, and most of them come at the right time. Now Kawakawa, Hojo, Takeda, Nagao, Shimazu, Noto Hatakeyama, Ashina and other distant country daimyo can send envoys before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
After a busy day, nearby Japanese people such as Hatano, Akai, Naito from Tanba, Asai from Kitaomi, Tsutsui from Yamato, Juichi and other Japanese people donated money. After the shogunate ministers determined that the main procedures for today were completed, the court meeting turned
It turned out to be a banquet. Rokkaku Yoshihide only entered the restaurant for a moment and then left the banquet on the grounds that he was busy with internal affairs. The governor of the Rokkaku family had just taken over Omi Country and there were many things that needed him to do. He could be a little busier.
understand.
I don't know who started it, but the topic gradually shifted to Kira Manshomaru. I was particularly surprised by his amazing gesture of donating four hundred guan Yongle money. He spewed out flattering words as if he didn't need any money.
"His Majesty Kira is indeed a young hero of the Ashikaga clan. He has shown extraordinary qualities at such a young age, which really makes us admire him!"
"Yes! Your Highness Kira, can you tell us about the scenery of Mikawa Kingdom?"
A group of ministers spoke complimentary words without knowing whether they were true or false, and in their words they did not forget to probe into the reality of the Kira family. Many ministers whom he knew, did not know, and whose names could not be named talked to him diligently, whether they were people he had known before.
Ōtate Harumi, Kuchiki Harutsuna, Ninagawa's eldest brother, Ogasawara Seishi, Omaki Kageju, Arakawa Harunobu and other close servants all gathered around.
Among the courtiers participating in the meeting were Mibuchi Harukai, Hosokawa Motonsune, Hosokawa Haruhide, Hosokawa Fujiken, Isshiki Fujinaga, Kyogoku Takayoshi, Ozu Haruto, Ninagawa Makashi, Matsui Masayuki, Yanagisawa Harumasa and others.
He was very close to this famous family from Mikawa, and among them Isshiki Fujinaga was the most enthusiastic. He kept talking about the old stories of Isshiki Township, his family's hometown in Hatzu County, Mikawa Province.
Kira Mansomaru could only deal with it casually with a reserved smile. In fact, everyone knew that each other did not care about the old things about old sesame seeds and rotten millet. The Isshiki family and the Kira family were distant relatives that could not be reached by eight poles. The family was three generations apart from the Ashikaga family.
The family is the fourth generation of the Ashikaga family. The most recent ancestors of the two families are brothers.
Moreover, they are still relatives from the Kamakura period. If we really count from the Kamakura period, less than half of the shogunate retainers sitting in Saga are close relatives of him, and less than half are distant relatives. Even if those distant relatives are no longer
Going back two hundred years, they were still close relatives even to the Genpei era. This is all nonsense.
Perhaps because he felt that he, the leading actor of the banquet, had been left out, Hosokawa Harumoto, who had been sitting across from him, suddenly asked, "Your Majesty Kira, I heard that something happened in Mikawa, can you tell me what it is like?"
Something unexpected happened?"
All the officials of the shogunate shut their mouths and looked at each other. No one dared to say anything, which immediately cooled down the lively scene. Of course, the Imagawa family's actions in Mikawa could not be hidden from the shogunate. After all, the Imagawa family was also a member of the shogunate with a surname and a surname.
There was also the deputy general Imagawa Ryotoshi, and many shogunate officials had some contacts with the Imagawa family, but no one planned to mention it at the New Year's court meeting.
"Jingzhao, today is the first time that I have presided over the Shodan court meeting, so don't talk about political affairs." Ashikaga Yoshitō interrupted the topic with a slight displeasure. Today is the first time that he has presided over the Shodan court meeting since he took office. Who dismissed him?
Whoever has a bad temper will be unlucky.
Hosokawa Harumoto frowned slightly. After waiting for a long time, he didn't see any performance from Kira Manshomaru. He sneered at the corner of his mouth and said, "Do you think everything will be fine if His Highness is protecting you? It's just that my family has never treated this.
The young master takes it seriously!"
"Why didn't His Highness Kira speak? Are you scared? It is said that the Imagawa family sent out a large army, and the Kira family also sent people to join the army. Does this mean that you are subordinate?"
"Hiss..." There was a gasp in the hall. All the ministers did not expect that Hosokawa Harumoto would attack a member of the Ashikaga family on this occasion, and he said it so ruthlessly.
Scarring people is not a habit of the shogunate. The past few decades of wandering have made the shogunate more sophisticated and sophisticated. Besides, the Kira family brought nearly two thousand troops from Mikawa, and at least half of the Hosokawa family. You Ashikaga family.
Can you say that to someone with your own flesh and blood?
Not to mention the small actions of the ministers whispering, Kira Mansomaru still had a calm expression, holding a bat fan and carefully admiring the fan, as if he was indifferent to the outside world. Ashikaga Yoshito's face was ugly, as if he was enduring the anger in his chest.
Odate Qingguang was afraid that something might happen, so he quickly smoothed things over and said: "Today is the first time that His Highness has presided over the Zhengdan court meeting. I look up to His Highness and wish my shogunate prosperity! I wish the Imperial Palace good health!"
"I am waiting to pay homage to Your Highness!" The ministers bowed their heads in obeisance. After the toast, they immediately resumed their laughter and laughter, as if what had just happened had never happened. Seeing that everyone dared to ignore him collectively, Hosokawa Harumoto's face suddenly became clear.
Shiro glared at Kira Manshomaru fiercely, then stood up and left with a flick of his sleeves.
The ministers of the shogunate looked at each other, only dared to secretly look at Hosokawa Harumoto who was gradually walking away. This Hosokawa Kyōjo has been in a bad mood for the past six months. Anyone who bumps into his brow at this time will inevitably be severely reprimanded.
There was a pause, and it took a while before anyone was bold enough to start whispering.
"What's wrong with Hosokawa Kyōjo?"
"You're not going crazy because you lost to Sanzhu, are you?"
While the ministers were discussing, one person was very angry, and that was Ashikaga Yoshitō, the shogunate. When he saw Hosokawa Harumoto walking away so rudely, he had no intention of saying hello to the shogunate and resigning.
One can imagine how angry the young public was.
"Crack!" There was a sound of shattering porcelain, and the porcelain cup in Ashikaga Yoshito's hand flew to the tatami in the center and shattered into pieces. This complete set of wine vessels imported from the Ming Dynasty was missing only one wine glass.
"Hosokawa Harumoto is despising Yu! I don't want this kind of leadership!" Ashikaga Yoshitō was losing his temper. The ministers of the shogunate could only kneel down respectfully. The important ministers of the shogunate exhorted and complained secretly. This young general is
You can have a hot temper easily. You, Harumoto Hosokawa, are also people who have been through the storms, so why are you so indifferent.
