Chapter 2061 The Wu family cannot choose the public family
Yoshigan once held the sword given by Ashikaga Yoshiteru and killed everyone in the conservative and traditional Kanto. He bowed down to all samurai in the name of justice.
Later, Ashikaga Yoshiteru was killed by Miyoshi and three others in Nijo Castle. Before his death, he asked Takada Yukino to take the gold seal out and gave it to Shiba Yoshigan.
After Yoshigan Shiba and Oda Nobunaga joined forces to support Ashikaga Yoshiaki in going to Raku, he helped Ashikaga Yoshiaki ascend to the throne of Ashikaga Shogun by virtue of the golden seal of the sword, and gained great political prestige.
As the absolute spiritual leader of the conservative Wu family, Shiba Yiyin has been a saint for so many years. Even if he is pretending to be a saint, he has now become a real saint.
Even if Hashiba Hideyoshi could conquer Shikoku Kyushu and force the Mori family of the Western Kingdom to surrender, his strength would be infinitely close to that of Shiba Yoshigan.
But in terms of reputation, Hashiba Hideyoshi's humble background as a servant made it impossible for Hideyoshi to catch up with Yoshigan Shiba, whose holy name is spread throughout the world.
Now Kuroda Takataka has made big news, allowing Hideyoshi Hashiba to see another possibility.
I have a low background, so I may never be able to make the martial arts family in the world think highly of me from the bottom of their hearts. No matter what I do, I will never be able to catch up with the nobility and holiness of Sibo Yiyin.
But thinking about it conversely, I don't have to go up, I can also pour dirty water on Sibo Yiyin, pull him down and be despised by the martial arts all over the world with me, the effect is actually the same.
It would be really wonderful if the Shibagashi group really wiped out the blood of Kyoto, killed General Ashikaga, and killed the shogunate administrators and government officials.
The bloody change of dynasties will make the world's martial arts clearly see the ferocity behind the mask of Shiba Yiyin Renyi, and will be frightened by the ruthlessness of the new powerful. Political trust will be like a cracked mirror, which is difficult to repair if it is broken.
Hashiba Hideyoshi couldn't help but show a hint of excitement on his face, and he pretended to be reserved and said to Kuroda Takataka.
"You go ahead and do it, and I will let the Jiahe people fully cooperate with you.
By the way, before Ashikaga Yoshiaki returns to Beijing, I hope she can adopt me as her adopted daughter. You can go and do it. It doesn't matter how much it costs, I just want one result."
Kuroda Takaka's eyes flashed, he looked at Hashiba Hideyoshi, whose face was flushed, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
This master of his own is really arrogant and inferior. Under his indifferent expression, he is extremely concerned about his humble background.
Hashiba Hideyoshi's status was too low, but if he could be adopted by the general as his adopted daughter, he would have climbed to the top of the direct line of the Genji family in Kawachi.
It's like Tokugawa Ieyasu found the ancestors of the Nitta clan, a famous Genji family in Kawachi, from nowhere to put gold on his face.
Even if everyone knows this is nonsense, they still have to follow it. This is the reality.
The society of the island country is strict and strict, and there is a distinction between high and low. This is the cultural atmosphere. You have to bite the bullet and give yourself a high-ranking ancestor in order to rule the territory legitimately.
Furthermore, Ashikaga Yoshiaki's return to Beijing this time may be a disaster.
This girl has no children yet. If she really dies in Kyoto, Hideyoshi Hashiba can still promote himself and inherit the Ashikaga Shogun family.
Regardless of whether others recognize it or not, Hideyoshi Hashiba was so shameless that he relied on the Ashikaga family.
But Takataka Kuroda felt that Hideyoshi Hideyoshi's ideas were too beautiful, and raising a daughter was simply impossible.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki himself did not have enough status, and he transformed from a retired nun into an Ashikaga shogun, and is still criticized today.
Her obsession with identity is deeply rooted in her bones. This is not only her personal stubbornness, but also a political means for her to maintain her identity.
Isn't it a joke for everyone in the world to let Ashikaga Yoshiaki recognize an adopted daughter who was born as a servant? Ashikaga Yoshiaki's already shaky reputation is probably going to collapse even faster.
So this matter is not about money. No matter how much Hideyoshi kneels down and licks him, the poor and embarrassed man will never nod his head and give in.
Instead of wasting time on Ashikaga Yoshiaki, Hideyoshi Hashiba might as well think of other ways.
In the flash of lightning, Kuroda Takataka only thought for a moment, and the guilty and sensitive Hideyoshi Hashiba coughed, his tone vaguely unhappy.
"What? Isn't it possible?"
Kuroda Takaka bowed.
"Hey, I'll try my best, sir."
Kuroda Takaka knew that the result would definitely disappoint Hideyoshi Hashiba, but she couldn't say it now.
Although Hashiba Hideyoshi imitated Oda Nobunaga's magnanimity, he was wise and decisive in dealing with others, and he was even more considerate towards his allies and subordinates, and was praised by everyone.
But in fact, Hashiba Hideyoshi is a guy with extremely low self-esteem, and Kuroda Takataka can see clearly.
For such a person, you must not touch her reverse scales, otherwise she will become angry and kill your whole family.
The most important thing now is to make every effort to promote the cooperation between the general and the shogunate and allow Ashikaga Yoshiaki to return to Kyoto.
As for Hashiba Hideyoshi's unrealistic fantasy of adopting a daughter, Kuroda Takataka could only think of other solutions. The identity issue always had to be resolved.
In this barren island country, the social environment is so harsh, and the small mountain doctrine of staying together for warmth is a necessary condition for survival. Blood ties, hometown party, and family status are natural small hills.
Hideyoshi Hashiba was also considered a native of Owari, but because of his humble background, he could not be regarded as the leader of the Owari family.
The real leaders of the Owari samurai are Oda Nobunaga, Shibata Katsuie, and Hashiba Hideyoshi, no matter how hard they try, they can't really convince the Owari samurai.
She could only rely on her husband's relatives and the Omi-Harima samurai family who had conquered the land in recent years to form her own team. Such a ruling base was unstable.
Hideyoshi Hashiba urgently needed a high-ranking family figure to unite the emerging Hashiba ruling group and stabilize his own power.
For this reason, Hashiba Hideyoshi was willing to bow his head and become a cheap adopted daughter to the family of the outdated Ashikaga Shogun, and worship that stupid Ashikaga Yoshiaki.
But Kuroda Takaka is 100% sure that the olive branch offered by Hideyoshi Hashiba will be knocked down by Ashikaga Yoshiaki.
Two generations of the Wu family have been in power for four hundred years, and the traditional concept of family lineage and family status of the Wu family has penetrated into the marrow of the ruling class.
The adopted daughter system is indeed a way for the samurai family to improve their family status. Unfortunately, Ashikaga Yoshiaki succeeded to the Ashikaga Shogun due to inherent deficiencies, which prevented her from bringing in Hideyoshi Hashiba as foreign aid.
But on the other hand, Hideyoshi Hashiba's choices for improving his family status were not limited to the Ashikaga Shogun family.
It may be better to find a poor family that is weak enough and urgently needs outside help to continue the family name, rather than Ashikaga Yoshiaki who can only cling to the family lineage as a life-saving straw.
Tokugawa Ieyasu was very smart. The Nitta family she found once competed with the Ashikaga family for the world. After the failure, all the direct descendants of the clan were killed by the Ashikaga family, and the orthodoxy was cut off.
She only needs to casually identify a missing and escaped legitimate daughter as her ancestor to enhance her own identity without hindering anyone's interests.
Even the Satomi family, known as the Nitta common family, would not take a second look at Tokugawa Ieyasu, a guy who pretended to be an ancestor. The two sides were in conflict with each other and each worshiped his own ancestor.
Hideyoshi Hashiba was born a servant, which is a fact known to all the samurai families in the world. She insists on finding a famous samurai family to match her family status, and she will only be laughed at by the samurai family. It is indeed shameless for a lowly person.
This is the idea of licking the dog but not getting it. The more you get involved, the less seriously people will take you.
In fact, Hideyoshi Hashiba could completely change his thinking and look at this issue from another angle.
In the society of the island country, the Kawachi Genji is the highest-ranking member of the samurai family, and is naturally extremely noble. However, as long as you step out of the circle of the samurai family, there are blood traditions that can be as noble as the Kawachi Genji.
For example, Gongqing's photoshoot home.
The Shoseki family, also known as the Goshoseki family, are the five direct descendants of the Fujiwara family, namely the Konoe family, the Ichijo family, the Nijo family, the Kujo family, and the Takashi family.
The word "regent" comes from the word "regent", because Fujiwara's ancestors married their sons to the emperor for generations, and served as guanbai as relatives, taking charge of the emperor's court. It was called regent politics in history, so it was called the regent family.
Before the rise of the samurai family, the core of the political struggle in the island country was the power struggle between the emperor and the Fujiwara clan.
As the family with the highest status among public ministers, the Wushe family can be promoted to the highest rank in the Sheguan system through official positions such as Da Nayan, Right Minister, and Left Minister.
Guan Bai is the highest rank among the public, and his status is equivalent to that of the general who established a government in the military family, that is, the shogun.
In fact, neither Guan Bai nor General Zhengyi were originally officials within the system of laws and regulations set by the emperor's court, but external officials dispatched temporarily.
The expansion of power of both parties is not the result that the emperor wants to see, but is the product of the failure of the emperor's power struggle.
The regent that Fujiwara served as was eventually transformed into Guan Bai, who ruled the world for the emperor and became the highest-ranking official in the family.
Kawachi Genji used the general to conquer the barbarians as a springboard to establish the samurai shogunate and became the shogun. Finally, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the third generation general of the Ashikaga shogunate, overthrew the emperor's court and became the pinnacle of the samurai family structure.
In Kuroda Takaka's view, Hashiba Hideyoshi should not flatter the samurai family, because this will only make the samurai family look down on Hashiba Hideyoshi's background.
Hideyoshi Hashiba should break out of the small circle of the samurai family and pursue a public family background. This is the best strategy.
But now, there was exactly an opportunity right in front of Hashiba Hideyoshi.
When the third shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu overthrew the emperor's court and the Shinto religion, he did not kill all the blood of the emperor's ministers.
The Minamoto clan of the samurai family itself was the place where the emperor's blood descended. The Fujiwara clan ruled the island country for hundreds of years with the politics of regents, and naturally countless descendants flowed into the place.
These powerful local daimyo lords and minor lords of the Fujiwara clan are inextricably linked to the newly rising local samurai family, and have long been the ministers of the samurai clan.
If we really want to set off a political storm and beat the five remaining local Gosei families into blackmail, I'm afraid it will cause panic among the people under the Ashikaga Shogunate.
Therefore, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu only massacred the emperor's ministers in the center of Kyoto and stopped after removing the basis of the central government and Shintoism.
For local shrines, government ministers and other local officials of the emperor's court, we should still be open-minded and grant them samurai status and allow them to change their appearance.
Tokugawa Ieyasu's ancestor may have been a priest, while Ii Naomasa's ancestor was Fujiwara Kitie.
Therefore, it is not uncommon for priests and ministers of the Wu family to become ministers. Hideyoshi Hideyoshi can borrow the family status of the ministers to improve his family status.
On the Shikoku Island that Hashiba Hideyoshi was conquering, there existed a remnant of such a noble family of ministers. They were in a state of decline and were in urgent need of external assistance.
The Tosa Ichichi family is a branch of the Ichichi family, one of the five Shogun families. They were forced to leave Kyoto due to the failure of the political struggle and ran to their own manor in Tosa country to avoid trouble.
This famous Fujiwara clan, which was originally far away from the center and would only be slowly marginalized, unexpectedly avoided the disaster of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's overthrow of the Emperor's court and took root in Tosa Kingdom.
The Tosa Ichijo family extended a helping hand when the Chosogabe family was almost destroyed and helped the Chosogabe family to rebuild their family business, but they did not want to suffer retribution.
After the rise of Kunichikan's son Nagasogabe Motochin, he attempted to unify the Tosa Kingdom and almost destroyed the Tosa Ichichi family. The governor of the Tosa Ichichi family had no choice but to live in seclusion on Tojima in the Seto Inland Sea.
If Hashiba Hideyoshi really wanted to have a decent family background, instead of kneeling down to Ashikaga Yoshiaki, a fool who values family integrity above all else, he might as well try the desperate Tosa Ichijo family.
Kuroda Takataka glanced at Hashiba Hideyoshi, thought to himself, and prepared to give advice to the disappointed Hashiba Hideyoshi after Ashikaga Yoshiaki rejected Hashiba Hideyoshi's olive branch.
The Ichijo family is the family with the highest family status among the public. It is the direct descendant of the Kujo family of the Fujiwara Kita family's Shokan style. Its family status is second only to the Konoe family of the Goshaku family. It is of the same rank as the Kujo family and higher than the Nijo family and the Takaji family.
Although the Tosa Ichichi family is a descendant of the Ichiichi family, the emperor and his ministers have been destroyed for 150 years. Today, the Tosa Ichichi family continues the lineage of the Ichiichi family, and it is natural for them to claim to be direct descendants.
Just like after the Minamoto Yoritomo line was extinct, the Ashikaga family became the Kawachi Minamoto family who was most likely to become the direct descendant. They were feared by the former Hojo family who ruled the Kamakura shogunate and had to marry the Hojo prince.
The ancestor of the Shiba family was born to Kazutsu's husband, so he is considered to be the closest branch of the Ashikaga family after Ashikaga Miao.
Yoshigan Shiba was born into a noble family, and once the Ashikaga family had no successors, he would naturally have the right to establish a new family and become the shogun.
Instead of competing with him for the position of supreme leader of the samurai family, Hideyoshi Hashiba might as well try Guan Bai, the supreme leader of the public family.
If the Tosa Ichijo family is willing to accept Hashiba Hideyoshi as his adopted daughter, Hashiba Hideyoshi can try to make the Tosa Ichijo family a direct descendant again, and let Seki Haku, the supreme leader of the public family, reappear in the world.
The public system has been in decline for two hundred years, and the resistance Hashiba Hideyoshi now faces is far less than the difficulty of struggling in the Wu family circle.
Takako Kuroda was so confident that he smiled slightly, which made Hideyoshi Hashiba's heart beat a little faster.
Looking at the crippled military commander who was so gloomy that his smile looked sinister, Hashiba Hideyoshi missed the passing of Takenaka Shigeharu even more.
Hashiba Hideyoshi didn't know what Kuroda Takaka was thinking, but she really didn't like her subordinates to make decisions for her casually.
She is not the soft-hearted man that Shiba Yiyin is. She is a woman who wants to be a world leader. How can she be ordered around by her subordinates?
The two people had different thoughts, and the scene became cold for a while. As the saying goes, the friendship between villains is beneficial, and the friendship between gentlemen is righteousness. The ancients will not deceive me.
This pair of monarchs and ministers, who seem to be inseparable but seem to be inseparable, can still be united sincerely for the time being, but I don't know how long this can last for the time being.
