Pillars of the Wu family

() The people of Sanhe, like all the people of this era, have the gene of rebellion against the lord imprinted in their bones. Even the genealogists who have always been obedient have many private calculations in it. For example, the Dahe Nei family is a local snake in Xisanhe. If they had not been loyal to the Kira family all the time, they would have become powerful or even guardian generations. The Okochi clan not only had a deep connection in Xisanhe, but also had deep ties to Dongsanhe, Yuanjiang and even Owari.

The ancestors of the Okochi family also served as the head of Yinjianzhuang, the territory of the Kira family in Yuanjiang. It was rebuilt into Hamamatsu Castle by a civet cat, because the Okochi family was a famous wealthy family in Mikawa.

Moreover, their family has been famous for giving birth to cultural people for generations. The reckless people in the Sanhe countryside are most in awe of cultural people, and the Okochi family is different from the Kira family. They often show up in Mihe country, and it is easier to get close to the reclusive Kira family. , Naturally, the reputation is also a bit higher. For Chinese people, the Kira family is unattainable, just like the Buddha statues in the temple, the Okochi family is the real samurai family.

Not to mention the great man Sugawara Michizane, the former king of resentful spirits and the current god of learning, there are not many famous samurai families who can be called cultural people. It is even rarer that people can do it. There is a legend in Tōkaidō that a witty remark by a cultured person can make a wicked man put down his butcher knife and reform himself, and can make ordinary warriors unable to even hold a sword. So these local tyrants of Mikawa We don't dare to offend this Dahanoi family governor who is proficient in poetry and prose.

These rumors were once spread to Kira Manmatsumaru's ears as anecdotes, but he didn't take them seriously at that time. The books in the Kira family's collection are extremely rich, even more than those in the Okochi family's collection. More than a dozen times, there are gifts from successive emperors, ministers, and His Royal Highness Gongfang, gifts from Ming merchants, and purchases from Sakai Town. He feels that it is not inferior to culture.

"It seems that I am still wrong! This is the troubled times of the Warring States Period, relying on the prestige of the family governor and personal charm to maintain the system of the family name, either relying too much on the monarch or relying too much on the genealogy of powerful ministers, relying entirely on their character and ability to determine the future of the family Going forward, even without the crisis of the Imagawa family, can the main family really pass on safely?"

Kira Manmatsumaru asked himself, staying at home is really not a good choice. The genealogists in Kira's family are too strong and stable. With them, don't try to innovate, not to mention that he doesn't have Oda Nobunaga So what can Imagawa Yoshimoto do if he despises authority and tramples on the courage of the traditional system?There is a little turtle in the front, and a big spectrum in the back, his life will only be more depressed.

"But so what if you don't innovate! If you don't become a daimyo in the Warring States period, you will definitely be abandoned. If you want to be a servant all the time, why should I go to Kyoto to join His Royal Highness? The Suruga Imagawa family and the Owari Oda family are nearby. Is it more appropriate? Whether it is to steal Mikawa after Imakawa Yoshimoto's death, or follow the Oda family to conquer the world, the status of a servant is always indispensable. How will this help the reputation of my Kira family? Will you still be afraid of my Kira family?"

In the eyes of Kira Wansongmaru, rays of light appeared and disappeared, and he seemed to understand Yamamoto Kansuke's final intention: "The master must also understand the chronic illness in the family, but he never reminded me, let me realize it myself In this chaotic world of the Warring States Period, whether to go forward and fight for supremacy, or to follow the tide and bow down to surrender, if I choose to dominate, then Kyoto is the first stop, if I choose to surrender, Sanhe is more suitable than going to Kyoto!"

Some people don't know what respect is. Even when they sit back, they still keep talking, like a swarm of buzzing wasps. The retainers of Kira's family are quietly wiping off the cold sweat from their foreheads, thinking to themselves that it's a good thing those three rivers The Chinese reckless people sit far away, it would be a big deal if these reckless people really bumped into the imperial driver.

It was only at this moment that people with keen minds noticed that Kira Wansongmaru, who was the governor of the house, had been sitting there without moving. Quietly watching the commotion of a group of Chinese people, it was as indifferent as watching a monkey show.

"Could such a family governor really be a coward?" Except for some reckless people who don't know it, some people who are quite smart have already begun to think about this not-so-complicated question. There is a bit of superstitious thinking that people who are not afraid of danger can become masters, and obviously the same is true of the Kira family.

The retainers of the Kira family also noticed this strange phenomenon. Before, no one in the family dared to draw their swords at the evaluation meeting. This was the first accident that the Kira family encountered. It's a little surprising that many retainers didn't expect to take care of him, the underage governor, at all.

It was as noisy as a vegetable market just now, but it suddenly turned into deathly silence. Except for a few Sanhe farmers poking their heads out to look left and right, most of the people sat still obediently. It was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop to the ground.

After sitting for a while, Kira Manmatsumaru gently unfolded the folding fan, revealing the fan surface painted with cherry blossoms in full bloom. On it was Luyuanin's own calligraphy, which came from the famous line of the song sage Ji Guanzhi: "The mountain cherry blossoms are blooming. The rosy clouds are dense, and the fragrance is hidden between the rosy clouds at the bottom of the fog; the most affectionate is faintly seen, and even a glance is touching."

Strictly speaking, this is a bat fan. It is a precious thing preserved by the Luyuan-in Temple to the second-generation family governor of the Saijo Kira family. This position was abolished by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and Kira Toshishi subsequently changed to the head of the warrior, which was the predecessor of the leader of Fenggong.

This bat fan was a favorite of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu back then. The fan was painted by Kano Shi, the imperial painter of the Imperial Palace, and the poems and postscripts were written by Luyuanin himself. He often appeared with this fan on important occasions, as Ashikaga Yoshimitsu. Man also felt a little sorry for the Kira family, so he gave this bat fan to the Kira family, and then this bat shirt became the status symbol of the Kira family governor. Only the Kira family governor can hold this fan, and it represents the Kira family. name.

When the bat fan was opened, it immediately attracted everyone's attention. As the royal family of the Ashikaga shogun, the Kira family has countless treasures bestowed by the emperor and Gongfangdian in the past, and this bat fan is also one of the more famous ones. Because this folding fan was owned by the family governor of the Kira family in the past dynasties, the people of Sanhe country also know a little bit about it.

Legend has it that before the Onin Rebellion, Katsumoto Yu Hosokawa, the leader of the governor, bought it for 200 taels of gold and could not get it. The governors of the Kira family in all generations held this fan regardless of winter and summer. It is not only intended to show off, but also to deter the local tyrants like Mikawa. means.

With a pure Kyoto accent, Jiliang Wansongwan whispered unhurriedly: "The family follows the family rules, and the governors of all generations must go to Luo to serve His Royal Highness. This is the law of the shogunate. Don't you know? Serve the public Your Highness is a matter of great honor to our family, since all the officials have come here, I hereby announce that the date of Shangluo will be on August 28th, and Xinzhen will act as the acting official of Xitiaoling."

Kira Wansongmaru raised the banner of the ancestor's law, which suddenly silenced everyone's voice. It is the ancestor's regulation that Kami Kira served His Royal Highness Gongfang from generation to generation. The reason is that the rural farmers in Xisanhe know what they have The reason is very obstructive.

"Yes!" At this point, Okochi Nobuzhen had nothing to say, so he could only bow his head and acquiesce in acquiescence.

A Chinese questioned with ulterior motives: "Master Yuguan! You don't have to rush to serve His Royal Highness? The master of the hall has not yet served, so it will not be too late to wait a few years?"

The retainers of Kira's family immediately retorted: "Idiot! It is because of this! The owner of the hall is going to Kyoto! In this land of three rivers, who else can host the Yuanfu for the owner of the hall? Could it be you, a villager? "
