different warring states of japan

Chapter 1082 Hojo finally succeeded

Although Yoshihiro Shiba tried his best to make amends, this grand succession ceremony became anticlimactic.

Even Uesugi Terutoro could feel the panic of His Highness Kanto Samurai's family, and the caring people inside and outside the palace were secretly delighted.

Ashikaga Yoshishi pretended not to know inside the hall, and Hojo Genan bowed respectfully outside the hall, but the atmosphere in the audience became more and more cold and silent, and Harusuke Kota finished the rest of the process sweating.

Inside the Hachiman Palace, the main body is divided into the upper palace, the lower palace, the dance hall, and the white flag shrine.

The upper palace is dedicated to the three gods of Hachiman, and the dance hall is in front of the upper palace, which is a place for offering sacrifices and watching dances.The lower palace is the side hall of the upper palace, dedicated to the three pillar gods including the daughter of the main god of Hachiman.

The White Flag Shrine is on the innermost side, enshrining the most important royal white flag of Hanoi Genji.The main hall is painted with black paint, solemn and solemn, and it is a place to pray for victory.

The beginning of the Hanoi Genji's prosperity was the fierce battle of the Hachimana Genyoshi family in the Kanto region. They rewarded the Bando samurai family by themselves and obtained their oath of loyalty to the descendants of the Minamoto family from generation to generation.

Today, there are three royal white flags enshrined by later generations.

The first is the imperial white flag of Hachiman Tai Mu Yuanyi's family, the second is the imperial white flag of Minamoto Yoritomo, the first Kamakura shogun, and the third is the imperial white flag of the first Ashikaga shogun Ashikaga Takaji.

Two of the three Royal White Flags are enshrined in the White Flag Shrine of Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine.

And the imperial white flag of Ashikaga Takashi was enshrined in the Kyoto Imperial Palace, and now that the imperial palace was burned, most of the imperial white flag was also destroyed by the fire.

After the whole ceremony, it was getting late.Several distinguished guests stayed around the Hachiman Palace Dance Hall, and the rest of the samurai family returned to Yuigahama Coast along Wakamiya Avenue to rest after paying homage.

When the ceremony was over and everyone left, Yoshigin rushed to Uesugi Terutora's place angrily, and explained to her the privilege of immunity of the Ninjo Narita family.

Uesugi Terutoro murmured with his eyes straightened.

"A small Narita family, I didn't expect to have such a background, such a privilege."

Yi Yin said angrily.

"The descendants of many sects of the Guanbazhou Wu family have been intertwined for hundreds of years, and there are many stories in the past. This time, you are too complacent.

How much courage does Narita Choyasu have, dare to mess around while visiting the shrine?As long as you bear with it for a while and listen to her explanation, you won't make a big deal of it. "

Although Uesugi Terutoro has realized the seriousness of the matter, she is still stubborn and said.

"It's just a misunderstanding, at worst I'll give the Hanyu collar to Narita Choyasu as compensation.

How dare she not be grateful to Dade for a fertile territory in exchange for a little shame? "

Yoshihiro Shiba shook his head and said.

"I always feel that things are not so simple, and troubles are yet to come. The Guandong Wu family is proud and arrogant, and they call themselves descendants of famous families, and they value face very much.

The accident of this ceremony may have aroused their disgust. "

After the collapse of the Kamakura shogunate, the importance of the Guan Yashu samurai shrank accordingly.

If the central government is not in Kanto, the Kanto samurai will lose the shadow of privilege under the ruler's feet.They can only reminisce about the glory of their ancestors and remember the overwhelming power at the time.

This is also the confidence that the Kwantung general dared to use the land of the eight states to fight against the recent shogunate and raise troops to rebel.

The Kanto samurai really want to go back to the era of the Kamakura shogunate, the years when the Kanto samurai were superior.

The accident of visiting the shrine this time will seriously dampen their sensitive self-esteem.Terotora Uesugi's disrespect for the traditions of the Kanto, so that only the traditions are left to be proud of, what do the Guan Yashu samurai think of her?

Uesugi Terutoro said irritably as Yoshigin felt uneasy.

"Things are already like this, what else can I do? Could it be possible for me to apologize to Narita Choyasu?

impossible!She doesn't deserve it! "

Yi Yin sighed and said.

"You are the governor of the Kanto region with a noble status, so of course you can't apologize to a courtier.

Just as you said, take Hanyu to Narita Choyasu as compensation for her.I hope she can understand the truth and stop making troubles. "

The two looked at each other, then subconsciously looked away.

After that night, both sides tried their best to compromise and bridge their differences.But like a broken mirror, even if it is put together as before, the existing cracks cannot be eliminated.

The two hedgehogs who wanted to get closer deliberately approached, but they didn't dare to get too close.I am afraid that the thorns on my body will hurt the other party, and I am even more afraid of being hurt by the thorns on the other party's body.

---

Narita Changyasu returned to his temporary residence not far from the coast, and before the anger he had suppressed for a long time broke out, he welcomed the guests.

Hojo Huanan dared to come in a hurry, and the two parties sat down after paying respects.

Narita Changtai was upset, she was full of grievances and could not vent, and she also knew that Hojo Genan had ulterior motives in coming here.So, said bluntly.

"Master Hojo, if you want to say something sobering, please don't be so respectful.

I'm annoyed, but I haven't lost my mind.The situation of the Hojo family is sympathetic, but I will not take chestnuts for the Hojo family. "

Facing Narita Changyasu's vigilance, Hojo Genan smiled slightly, bowed and said.

"Master Narita misunderstood, I came here this time just to congratulate you."

Narita Changyasu's face twitched, as if Uesugi Terutoro's slap still hadn't faded away.She looked at Hojo Huanan coldly, not knowing what was buried in this guy's words, and asked.

"Where does the joy come from?"

Hojo Huanan sternly said.

"Today, Uesugi Terotora was overjoyed and was slightly rude to Narita-sama. But since the Imperial Palace came forward to make peace, there will be compensation in the future.

I think the Hanyu collar dispute will be settled.Uesugi Terutora will definitely hold his hand high and bestow this rich land to the Narita family.

Isn't this a happy event? "

Narita Changyasu froze for a moment, thinking about it.

What Hojo Genan said is right, Uesugi Terutora will definitely learn about the Narita family's imperial privileges afterwards, and will definitely compensate for this accident.

For Uesugi Terutoro, the simplest and rude solution is to give the Hanyu collar to Narita Changyasu to settle the previous dispute between the two parties.

Narita Changyasu burst into his forehead with a burst of sadness, and the anger he had suppressed for a long time finally poured out, and he couldn't help but shed two lines of hot tears.

She wiped away the tears and laughed wildly.

"Okay, what a just and strict leader of the Kanto! The Hanyu leader was brought down by me, and the one standing on the Hanyu Castle is the Narita Iehime samurai!
Why did Terotora Uesugi give me my things?Terutora Uesugi wantonly humiliated me, Narita Choyasu, and the Narita family, descendants of Fujiwara Shisuke, is that the end? "

Seeing Narita Changyasu's emotional collapse, Hojo Genan was overjoyed when he was no longer vigilant as before.

She said nonchalantly.

"People have to bow their heads under the eaves. For the sake of the continuation of the family business, Master Narita still has to take care of the overall situation.

In any case, His Highness Uesugi let go of Hanyu's collar, and the Narita family still got a benefit. "

Narita Changyasu stared and said angrily.

"Back then, the Hojo family took the Hanyu collar from the Hirota family, and today I took the Hanyu collar from the Hojo family. She Uesugi Terotora came to snatch it if she had the ability, so she pretended to be righteous, shit!"

What Narita Choyasu said made Hojo Genan a little embarrassed.

The strength of the Hojo family declined greatly, and the Narita family took the opportunity to launch an attack. The Hojo family had to withdraw from Hanyu's leadership, which was also embarrassing.

Narita Choyasu was agitated, and he didn't save face when he spoke, embarrassing the Hojo family.But Hojo Genan has been engaged in diplomacy for many years, and what he has done is to open his eyes and talk nonsense, with a thick skin.

She pretended to care.

"Master Narita is cautious. The Kwantung Allied Forces have [-] troops at their side, and His Highness Uesugi holds great power. You should be more cautious in what you say and do."

Narita Choyasu took two deep breaths and let them out slowly.This burst of venting made her calm down a little.

Looking at Hojo Genan, who pretended to be a good person, Narita Choyasu still felt a little off-putting.

When Hojo Ujiyasu implemented the new tax system in the Hojo Territory, Piri Yangqiu had to secretly dig out the foundations of various famous families, but at least she knew how to hypocritically respect local prominent families.

Now, how many days has Terotora Uesugi gained power?He has already slapped the famous family directly in the Hachiman Palace!

Narita Choyasu licked the inside of his mouth with his tongue, this slap really hurt from the outside to the inside.The anger in her heart gradually subsided, and she calmly said to Hojo Genan.

"Master Hojo, no matter how you provoke him, it's useless. As you said, Uesugi Terutora has an army of [-] troops, and I, the Narita family, cannot afford to be offended.

I have to swallow this breath today.It is not too late for a woman to take revenge for ten years, and there will be a long time to come.

I have already rebelled against the Hojo family. If I betray Uesugi Terotora again today, it will be difficult for the two powerhouses. Will there be a place for the Narita family to stand in Kanyashu in the future? "

Hojo Genan looked at her calmly and said sincerely.

"Before I came out this time, His Highness Shikang stated frankly that she did not blame anyone.

The Kanto samurai family succumbed to Uesugi Terutora's coercion, all because the Hojo family defeated the Sano leader.

The samurai family puts the family business as the most important thing, and she can understand the difficulty of each family choosing to protect their lives and submit to His Highness Uesugi. "

Narita Changyasu's eyes flickered, he didn't believe such a grandiose scene at all, and said.

"His Highness Shiyasu is tolerant, and the Narita family is very grateful. Then what is the purpose of Master Hojo coming here today?"

Hojo Huanan sternly said.

"I came here today because I personally couldn't bear what happened to Mr. Narita. I have a little suggestion for your reference."

"Please say."

"There is a cloud in the sky, the small stick will accept, the big stick will go, and you will not fall into the mother and injustice.

I think this principle is somewhat similar to Master Narita's predicament today. "

Narita Changtai was thoughtful, and motioned for her to continue, Hojo Genan said again.

"Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve.

The Narita family is being humiliated today, if Master Narita submits, he will be disrespectful to his ancestors.If you raise your troops angrily, you will be disloyal to the emperor.

His Highness Uesugi has completed the succession ceremony and has become the leader of the Kanto region recognized by the Kanto samurai family. She is already your lord. "

Narita Choyasu let out a muffled snort.

"This king who doesn't know the precepts of the ancestors and doesn't respect the tradition is also a strange person that has never been seen in the ages."

Hojo Genan shook his head.

"Your Majesty is Your Majesty. Even if you make a mistake, you, a subject, can only stay away from it. It's not good to confront it head-on."

Narita Changyasu's eyes lit up, Hojo Genan's idea is good.

If he passively accepts Uesugi Terutora's gift, he will give Narita Changyasu the Hanyu collar already occupied by the Narita family.She would be laughed to death by the Kanto Wu family, and even the retainers could not accept it.

But what if she leaves?
Narita Changyasu recognized Uesugi Terutora's Kanto leader, and recognized the king.But she couldn't bear the emperor's humiliation to the Narita family, so she kept her at a respectful distance.

In doing so, even if he recognizes Uesugi Terutora's dignity, he will not be in the predicament of destroying his own brand name.

Uesugi Terotora himself got the situation wrong and made this farce.Narita Changtai left angrily, she couldn't lead the army to attack Narita's house in Ninja City, right?Does she have the nerve?

Narita Changtai gave me face.If you take into account the retreat of the Narita family, Terutora Uesugi, the leader of the Kanto, is narrow-minded, and he should be scolded by someone pointing at his back.

Narita Changyasu lowered his head and thought, unable to make up his mind for a moment.

Terutora Uesugi attaches great importance to face, what if she feels shameless and really leads troops to attack Ninja Castle?The Narita family doesn't have the wealth of the Hojo family, so they can't bear it.

Hojo Huanan observed the words and expressions, and said intimately.

"It's not that the Narita family does not recognize His Royal Highness Uesugi's authority to govern, if a hundred thousand troops come to the door, Lord Narita will just open the door and ask for surrender.

Even if the family business suffers a little loss, it is better than accepting compensation here and becoming a laughing stock. "

Narita Changtai thought for a moment, indeed.

If she doesn't leave, Terutor Uesugi will take Hanyu to her in public tomorrow as compensation, will she accept it or not?
Terutora Uesugi gave the Kanto samurai family an explanation and admitted their mistakes in disguise, but Narita Changyasu became the clown in everyone's hearts.

Narita Changyasu was slapped in the face during his visit to Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine, and he has no temper at all. Will anyone respect the Narita family in the future?

After much deliberation, the best policy is to walk.Narita Changyasu looked at the benevolent Hojo diplomat and nun, not sure what her intentions were.

"Master Hojo, I am going out of Hojo's house, you are still willing to think about me like this, it really makes me feel ashamed."

Facing Narita Changyasu's faint temptation, Hojo Genan smiled openly.

"Master Narita, business is public, private is private. We have known each other for many years, and our friendship is not bad. How can I bear to see you in distress.

The situation in Kanto is uncertain, who knows what will happen in the future?To form more good relationships with others is also to leave a way out.

A good bird chooses a tree to live in, and a virtuous minister chooses a master to serve.I think His Royal Highness Uesugi's temper may not be the master in your heart.

Who can tell what will happen in the future?Do you think this is the truth? "

Hojo Genan hinted that there was nothing else he wanted but a good relationship, and Narita Changyasu reluctantly accepted this explanation.

Although the Hojo family is not as good as a phoenix on the ground, Narita Changyasu is still willing to give face and accept this kindness.

More friends, more roads, fewer enemies, fewer walls.The Hojo family has already been expelled from Kitamusashi, and the scourge cannot reach the territory of the Narita family. Of course, the two sides can make friends.

As soon as Narita Changyasu left with a knot in his heart, his face immediately looked better, and the two chatted happily, and they chatted for a long time before Hojo Genan bid farewell.

As soon as she left, Narita Changyasu ordered the following retainers to pack their bags, and the group returned to Katase River overnight.

A [-]-strong army was stationed on the Katase River, and there were less than a thousand middle- and high-level samurai who were qualified to pay homage to the Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine.

Narita Changyasu returned to the station in the twilight.As soon as she left, the people who followed her back passed the news back to Hojo Huanan's residence.

Hojo Huanan laughed, and she immediately started to act, visiting every family overnight.Let all dissatisfied Kanto samurai know that Narita Changtai did not bear the humiliation and returned to the army.
