different warring states of japan

Chapter 1081 The Narita family is humiliated

There are three torii gates in front of Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine, which is called Wakamiya Road.

The main road extends from the Uighama coast all the way to Hegang Hachimangu, with a total length of two kilometers. Uesugi Terotora led all the Kanto samurai to set off from here to see Hachiman, and then complete the succession ceremony.

With the help of the samurai performer, Tian Tianqing had already entered the Hachiman Palace to communicate with the priests and prepare for the ceremony.

As the lord of the Kanto region, Yoshishi Ashikaga, and Yoshigin Shiba as the witness of General Ashikaga's family, the two also arrived at the upper palace first to wait.

There were more than [-] well-known families in the Kanto region who participated in this meeting, and together with thousands of horsemen under each family's command, they had a family background.Led by Uesugi Terutora, they walked up the path and entered the palace.

Shiba Yoshigin looked at the majestic Uesugi Terotora in the distance before going to the palace, riding a big southern horse and walking in front of the queue.

Although the pocket version of Yu Jie was half a head shorter than the others, everyone lowered their heads deeply, only her raised her chin high.

Seeing this strange scene, Yoshigin couldn't help but smile, today may be the most glorious moment in Uesugi Terutoro's life, short and tall.

As a representative of the shogunate, Yoshihiro stood quietly aside, watching the most important political activities in the Kanto system, being careful not to interfere with the interference.

The ancients said that the major affairs of the country are only killing and grass. .If you say it wrong, it is a major event of the country, and it is in the sacrificial and military affairs.

The deep-rooted ancestor worship in the Chinese culture is the biggest difference from other great civilizations relying on religion to establish the legitimacy of the regime.

The civilizations in East Asia within the cultural radiation circle of the Celestial Dynasty also tend to this.

Worshiping ancestors is one of the most important jobs of the rulers, telling the ruling class where they came from and why they are united.

And the god-making culture of Shintoism in Japan pushes this feature to the extreme.

The target of the sacrifice is both the ancestors and the gods.There are ancestor worship and religious beliefs, which further strengthen the ruler's justice and divinity.

There are many volcanoes in Japan. The mountains in the center of the island run through the entire Honshu Island. Numerous active volcanoes and extinct volcanoes separate the plains into fragments.

For farming peoples, plains are land, population, food, and strength.No plain can be wide enough to suppress the entire Japanese archipelago and become the core.

Faced with countless broken small plains, the rulers were unable to maintain the cost of centralizing power, and had to delegate power to local governments, which led to the growth of local power.

Whether it is the emperor's court or the shogunate of the samurai family, the center has never had enough power to restrict the place, and can only rely on ancestors, religion, blood, and family status to maintain the upper and lower order.

In the world of samurai, the shogun is just an arbiter, not a dictator, and it is a skill that must be mastered to fight one faction.

Relying on a group of people, branches of relatives, vassal vassals, and outsiders, the ruler carefully guards his own limited power.

The Kamakura shogunate collapsed, Ashikaga Takashi rose in Kanto, was defeated in Kyoto, went to Kyushu West to regroup, and finally seized the world.

The Ashikaga shogunate has never really controlled the samurai's Longxing land, Guan Bazhou.

The Kamakura Ashikaga family originated from the first Ashikaga shogun, the daughter of Ashikaga Takashi, who enfeoffed the ten kingdoms of the Kanto region and ruled the eight states of Kanto and Izukai.

In order to enhance the Kanto samurai's recognition of the Kanto system, successive Kwantung generals and Kanto leaders will hold succession ceremonies at Tsuruoka Hachimangu, a holy place for the samurai.

The Guanbazhou samurai family is proud. The rulers of almost every place have been famous samurai families for hundreds of years.If you want to rule this group of samurai with noble blood and family character, you must be nobler than them.

Therefore, this tradition has been carried out for two hundred years.

No matter how turbulent the land of Guanbazhou is and the wars continue, the succession ceremony of the past dynasties has not been interrupted.What has been maintained together is the status and inferiority within the Kanto system.

Yoshiyin looked at the majestic Kanto general Ashikaga Yoshishi in the upper palace.This is good for blood politics. No matter what kind of useless you are, your lower limit is determined by birth.

The dragon begets the dragon, the phoenix begets the phoenix, and the mouse's daughter can make holes.

Yiyin's ability to come to this day relies on the exaggerated effects of the system's plug-ins, as well as its own blood.

How strong can a person be?Can I not eat?Not going to the bathroom?Do not you sleep?
People are fragile, and there are always times when they are tired and slack. Only then can there be mutual dependence and the reason for the birth of human society.

The samurai society has its own rules of operation, and if there is no ability to overthrow the rules and rebuild, then make good use of the rules to survive.

Yiyin was able to get to his current position in four years because he made full use of the rules of the samurai society to seek benefits for himself.

Relying on system cheats, gender advantages, and bloodlines, he has come to this day with trepidation.Looking back now, it was a fluke.

While he was spreading his thoughts and thinking wildly, most of the ceremony had been completed.

Harusuke Koda presided over the ceremony, and Yoshishi Ashikaga agreed to admit that Terotora Uesugi officially inherited the position of Kanto leader.

Just when the ceremony was about to be completed and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, an accident happened suddenly.

Uesugi Terutora, who paid homage to the Hachiman God and inherited the leadership of Kanto, walked out of the upper palace, and all the samurai waiting outside the palace dismounted and saluted him.

Thousands of people dismounted to pay their respects, but only one person stayed on the horse.Uesugi Terutoro looked dissatisfied, that person was Narita Choyasu, who dared to look at him at the same level.

Uesugi Terutoro remembered the quarrel between the two at Odawara Castle, and anger rushed to his forehead.

Echigo's army went south, destroying the Hojo family, and now the Kanto samurai are afraid of Uesugi Terutora, Tsuruoka Hachiman Shrine is the most dazzling moment in her life.

Even Hojo Genan, the envoy of the Hojo family, bowed to the ground to salute, and Narita Changtai, a bastard, dared not get off his horse.

It's the other way around!

Uesugi Terutoro pointed at her, and said to the Nagao group of guards beside him.

"Go, pull her down for me!"

Several Banners let out a cheer, rushed down the steps to Narita Changtai, didn't listen to her explanation, beat and pulled her off the horse.

Seeing Narita Changyasu in a panic, Uesugi Terotora laughed out loud, with an arrogant and domineering expression.

"Climb over here!"

Narita Choyasu refused to crawl, but Nagao and his disciples had a way, stabbing her ass with the scabbard, forcing her to come in front of Uesugi Terotora.

Seeing her in such a mess, Uesugi Terotora was still angry, and slapped her head that had just been lifted up to explain, and directly slapped the black hat she wore to see the shrine in full dress.

When the black hat fell to the ground, His Royal Highness and all the warriors were shocked.This is paying homage to the Hachiman God, and slapped his ancestors in the face. This humiliation is enough for Narita Changtai to go crazy.

Yoshihiro was stunned as he watched from the sidelines, Uesugi Terutora, a rich second generation, what kind of madman is this!If you don't ask about things, you will humiliate people to this point.

All of this happened within a few breaths, and everyone froze on the spot, digesting the sudden accident.

Yiyin was still in a daze, but Tian Qingsuke quickly walked up to him, his face was pale, his lips trembled, and he said anxiously in a low voice.

"Imperial Office, please persuade Your Highness Uesugi to stop fighting."

Yiyin's heart shuddered, and he said in a deep voice.

"what happened?"

The situation was urgent, and Harusuke Koda didn't dare to be too wordy, so he explained it directly.

"Ninjo Narita's family is a branch of Fujiwara Shifu. His ancestors met Hachiman Tainiang and exchanged salutes on horseback. The descendants enjoy the privilege of seeing the emperor."

Yiyin's pupils shrank, secretly thinking that it was not good.

Shifu Fujiwara was born in the Kita family of Fujiwara, and his three daughters were Kane Fujiwara, who founded the politics of Sheguan.

Although the emperor and ministers had been slaughtered by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the Fujiwara clan had a long history, and some members of the clan had long been integrated into the Samurai group.There are many famous descendants of the Fujiwara clan in the various countries.

The ancestor of Narita Nagatasu should have the same status as the ancestor of Hanoi Genji, Hachiman Tainiang Genyoshi's family, and was granted the privilege of imperial immunity by Genji.

Uesugi Terutoro didn't know about this, and when her violent temper came up, she didn't give Narita Changyasu a chance to explain, and this caused a catastrophe!
Terutora Uesugi was born in the Nagao family in Fuchu, one of the Hachihei clan in Bando, a branch of the Nagao family who developed the Echigo country, and a descendant of the Sanjo Nagao family.

The Fuchu Nagao family belongs to the distant branch, and the family status is lower than that of the Yamauchi Uesugi family's close ministers, the Ueno Sosha Shirai two Nagao, and the Shimono country Ashikaga Nagao family.

Teruhu Uesugi was able to lead the army to the south with great righteousness, and was supported by the Kanto samurai family. Her name came from the governor of the Uesugi family in the mountain, and the adoptive mother Uesugi Xianzheng.

After finally going through the complete set of procedures, he became the recognized leader of the Kanto samurai family.Who knew that this fool would cause trouble at this time.

There are many famous families in Kanto, and etiquette is the most important. This is why Uesugi Terotora must hold a ceremony at Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine in order to gain their support.

But this guy didn't even know the privilege of imperial immunity of the Narita family in Shinobi, and humiliated Narita Changyasu face to face during the ceremony.

Speaking to Xiaoli, this is Yuan Zhi's ignorance, and the Nagao family in Fuchu doesn't understand etiquette.Speaking to Dali, she is blatantly trampling on the official etiquette of the Wu family of the Kanto system.

All Kanto samurai looked at Uesugi Terutora with horrified, puzzled, and sad eyes. This guy was still complacent, completely unaware of the seriousness of the accident.

Shiba Yoshigin looked at Ashikaga Yoshiji in the hall, and saw her calmly watching the chaos outside the hall, and felt sick in his heart.

Since his ascension to the throne, this Kanto general has been held in the hands of Yasushi Hojo, and now he has been reduced to a puppet of Terutora Uesugi, which really disgraces the Kamakura Ashikaga family.

Seeing Terotora Uesugi's embarrassment, I don't know if she has other ideas in her heart?

Yoshigin didn't dare to procrastinate any longer. He didn't care about the taboo of the shogunate representative's involvement in the Kanto ceremony. He stepped forward a few steps and picked up Narita Changyasu's black hat that was slapped off by Uesugi Terotora.

Uesugi Terutora looked at him, a little stunned, not understanding why Yoshigin would intervene at this time.

The two had a tacit understanding that Yoshihiro would not interfere with the affairs of the Kanto system, and Terotora Uesugi would teach these Kanto samurai.She couldn't help frowning, feeling something was wrong in her heart.

Yiyin offered the black hat to Narita Changtai with both hands, and said sincerely.

"It's a rare opportunity to pay homage to the Hachiman God, His Highness Uesugi is so happy, I'm joking with you.

Please don't take it to heart, Mr. Narita. There will be compensation for this matter. "

The samurai family values ​​etiquette and face, and giving benefits nakedly may be understood as humiliation.But for a while, Yiyin couldn't think of a better way, so he could only buy him with a straightforward profiteering.

During the ceremony of visiting the Hachiman Shrine, Uesugi Terotora asked the subordinate Banner to dismount Narita Changtai, and was rude to the high-ranking nobles with a humble servant.

Not to mention, she asked Narita Changtai to climb up in front of him, and knocked off the black hat with a slap.This is more than humiliation, it is forcing the Narita family to rebel!
Under the watchful eyes of everyone in the Kanto Samurai family, if Narita Changtai did not go down the stairs, he would not be able to go back without rebelling, or he would choose to commit suicide.

Otherwise, she would have no face to sue her ancestors and her descendants.

The group of retainers who ate with Narita's family would also point at her nose and scold trash.The torii of Ninjo Narita's family was thrown in the latrine, will the retainers under the name of the family have food in the future?
Shiba Yoshigin returned the black hat with both hands, and humbly expressed his willingness to compensate the Narita family.

Uesugi Huihu is the governor of Uesugi's family in the mountains, and the leader of Kanto.She is the great leader of the Kanto Samurai family who is always right, she will never be wrong before today, and she will never be wrong from now on.

Narita Changyasu looked into Yoshiyin's sincere eyes, and slowly turned his gaze to his black hat, feeling his face was burning hot.

She knew that she had to swallow this breath today, as long as she dared to say a word of no now, the Imperial Daisho who softly begged her for forgiveness in front of her would immediately turn against her.

Echigo's army is in full swing, fighting the Hojo family is fighting, and fighting the Narita family is also fighting.Anyway, whoever refuses to accept Uesugi Terutora as the leader of the Kanto, just one word, hit.

This is political correctness that must be carried through to the end, and Narita Changyasu has no choice but to succumb.

The Narita family has small arms and legs, what right do they have to refuse?Shiba Yoshiyin has already given enough face, if she doesn't know good from bad, the Narita family business will be in danger of being overthrown immediately.

Narita Changyasu took the black hat silently, walked back to the queue with a numb expression, and saluted like everyone else.

Although she didn't say anything, she was obedient and kowtowed, but her behavior made the other Kwantung Wu family feel sad for the death of the rabbit and the fox.

Narita Changtai's face was stiff, her hands were tightly clenched, and her nails pierced her palms. The pain made her remember today firmly.

Her heart was churning with anger, with the Hanyu leader in the past, and today's event in the future, Uesugi Terutoro didn't take the Narita family seriously at all, humiliating wantonly.

Not far away, Hojo Genan, who participated in the ceremony, buried his head deeply.She didn't dare to raise her head, because it was inconvenient for others to see the uncontrollable ecstasy on her face.

She has been secretly provoking and instigating these days, but although the Kanto Wu family is dissatisfied with Uesugi Terutoro, they dare not make fun of their own family business.

How can everyone not understand what the Hojo family is thinking?
Sano's joint battle not only defeated Hojo's elite, but also frightened the Kanto samurai.Frightened by the majesty of Echigo's army, even if he is dissatisfied with Terutora Uesugi, no one wants to be the first bird.

Hojo Huan'an had already given up his mind, who knew that there would be an accident during the worship ceremony, and God helped me.

Seeing that Shiba Yoshigin treated Narita Changyasu so courteously, Uesugi Terutor already understood that he must have missed something.

Yiyin turned his back to everyone and gave her a hard look.Uesugi Terutora desperately wanted to save face, snorted and pretended not to see it.

Harusuke Kota wiped the sweat from his brow, and hurriedly proceeded to the next step of the ceremony.As for the consequences of this accident, she has no time to think about it.
