A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

"Zhou Hao? Who is Zhou Hao?"

Xiao Pingtai didn't recognize this name at all, and it didn't match anyone in his memory.

"He is the third younger brother of Xian Dashu. After he became a monk, he took the Buddhist name Zhou Hao and served as the head of the Xiangguo Temple and other monasteries in Luoyang." [Note 1]

Koheta immediately recalled that when he went to the palace to pay homage to Ashikaga Yoshiki, his younger brothers and sisters all came out to see him. I vaguely remember that besides Monk Jueqing, there seemed to be two little boys and two little girls.

There is no need to care about the little girl. Now that Ashikaga Yoshiteru is dead, Ashikaga Teruwakamaru is also dead. Then his brothers are potential heirs, and interested people will definitely keep an eye on them just like the Yamauchi family.

Apart from Monk Jueqing, there are only two left, Monk Zhou Hao and Isshiki Fanqin (the author personally has doubts).

There are three Ashikaga Yoshisuke of Apophira Island, Ashikaga Yoshiyoshi, Ashikaga Yoshisuke, and Ashikaga Yoshito.

Generally speaking, these are the heirs to the most powerful generals in the world. The other officials won't have their turn for the time being, let alone Kira.

Now Monk Zhou Hao was suddenly attacked and died. Isshiki Norimika was adopted by someone else, and only the monk Kakukei remained in Ashikaga Yoshiharu's lineage. If he dies, Gongfang's position will most likely fall to Pingdao Gongfang's first rank.

"The old man has already gone to Yamato Xingfuku Temple. Xingfuku Temple is a famous temple in the world. There are thousands of monks, soldiers and believers. A few thieves can't threaten Monk Jueqing."

"Having said that, monk Zhou Hao's blood is stained in front of him. The traitor dared to attack and kill the official, and now he has killed his younger brother. Everyone knows Sima Zhao's intentions."

The chief planner in the mountain couldn't sit still and stood up, with his hands behind his back and a sad look on his face. He stepped on the floor again and again, his footsteps broken and heavy.

"The succession of any duke must be announced by the imperial court. The rebellious people set fire to Luo, and the emperor is shocked, so he will not issue the decree easily. I don't know if there are others, or who will take the lead."

Of course Koheita knew this period of history, but there were not so many twists and turns in history. After the three members of the Miyoshi group killed Ashikaga Yoshiteru, they quickly established Ashikaga Yoshie (Ashikaga Yoshiki), and obtained the title the following year. The court announced.

But now that Kyoto has not fallen into the hands of the three good people or Matsunaga, the prerequisites for supporting the general to enter the capital are not sufficient.

Secondly, because the shogunate accidentally grasped the strength of Luoyang Town Huoxia, there are now more than 2,000 troops in Kyoto including the remaining Feng Gong people. It is almost impossible to defend Kyoto, but there is no problem in maintaining the situation in Kyoto for the time being.

The Iga Niki clan, the Omi Kuchiki clan, the Wakasa Takeda clan, the Ise Kitahata clan, and the Tanba Hatano clan, no matter how ugly the shogunate is, reinforcements of three melons and two dates will still come to Beijing. I dare not say three to fifty thousand, but three to five thousand is a question. Not big.

However, it is difficult for the shogunate's current humble power to support a general who can secure Kyoto. Either the Miyoshi trio, or Miyoshi Yoshitsugu and the Miyoshi sect. For the time being, only these two groups can enter the capital immediately.

Next are Kii, Kawachi guarding Hatakeyama Takamasa, Minami Omi guarding Rokkaku Yoshiharu, and Echizen guarding Asakura Yoshikage. Theoretically, each of these three has no less than 20,000 troops, and they have the strength and possibility to send troops to Luoyang.

"I have reported to His Highness that it is very serious at this time and needs to be investigated carefully." Xiaoping was too unsure of the future direction.

"That's right. Brother is very resourceful and may have made a decision." The chief planner in the mountain didn't know what to do for a moment. He had just sent someone to pick up (deceive) the official to succeed him, but before he could pick him up, a candidate was killed. news.

Chief Yamauchi summoned a Toegeda samurai from the Yamauchi family, folded the letter again, attached his and Koheita's opinions to the paper, and sent it to Yamauchi Yoshiharu of Komaba.

…

The two stopped talking and continued to handle official business quietly. By noon, the matter was roughly settled. The two of them were about to leave and go home to eat, but they never thought that Isshiki Miyauchi came back first.

"A little later, His Royal Highness Hirashima has been picked up by Shinohara Awa."

Isshiki's majestic golden sword sat down in the palace. The attendant brought cold water, and he took it and drank it.

In terms of age, Isshiki Miyauchi is already in his fifties, so running around like this is a bit too much.

"Shinohara Ukyo (Ukyo Ryo)? Why did he go to pick up Hirashima? Is it Miyoshi Wakae's order?"

"I'm afraid it's not like that! The first time Miyoshi Wakae received 40,000 guan from Sakai Town, and it was difficult to distribute such a huge sum of money well. Shinohara Awa seems to be extremely dissatisfied, and has already contacted the three Miyoshis."

Isshiki also finished drinking the water in the palace, and his heavy breathing stopped.

"What about the other two Your Highnesses?" Koheta couldn't wait to ask Ashikaga Yoshimi's two remaining sons.

"We have all gone to Shengrui City, and we can't find him anywhere!" Yishi Gongnai waved his hands, looking a little frustrated.

"So Sakai Daiki's branch has been completely controlled by Miyoshi and three others!" Chief Yamauchi knocked on the support table, feeling the seriousness of the situation.

"Before noon, a message came from the Ministry of War. Monk Zhou Hao was attacked and killed! It's really hard to be so anxious..."

Xiaoheita originally thought that Miyoshi Yoshitsugi could help him up, but he didn't expect that getting such a large sum of money for him would actually harm him. The spoils were unevenly divided, and there was actually internal strife among the gangs. Not only did they lose the 20,000-strong rear army of the Awa tribe, which was the most powerful, they also lost the hearts and minds of the other four nations.

"I heard that Lord Pingdao has changed his name to Yiei. He is going to Settsu and crossing the river. He will go to Luo soon."

"We must immediately send people to Beijing to lobby the imperial ministers, just in case the imperial court is forced by the troops of the three good men."

"The troops of the three good and three people are close to Shezhou. I'm afraid they will be hard to resist." Xiaoping Tai knew the imperial court's urinal nature. Although he hated the three good and three people, they would still bow their heads if the army of the three good and three people came to Beijing. . This is the sadness of not having soldiers in hand.

"No matter what happens, there must be no more mistakes with Monk Jueqing. Send people to Beijing to discuss with the Ministry of War. Monk Jueqing must be freed."

Isshiki Miyauchi said this to Chief Accountant Yamauchi and Koheita.

[Note 1]: One more nonsense here. On a certain encyclopedia, in addition to the monk Kakukei, Ashikaga Yoshiaki, there are three younger brothers named Ashikaga Yoshiteru.

They are called Zhou Hao, Zhou Hao, and Zhou Song respectively. Each of them has a given name and a decent appearance.

Ashikaga Yoshiharu would probably laugh out loud when she found out, how could I be so good at it? The character "Hao" is the same as the character "Hao", and the character "Song" is obviously a typo of "Hao".

The historical inventors of a certain period gave Ashikaga Yoshiteruhiro two younger brothers alive. They were really powerful. At least read a dictionary when making up nonsense, it's so embarrassing.

It is not a big problem that Monk Zhou Hao is the master of Xiangguo Temple, but one theory is that he is the master of Luyuan Temple, and the other is that he is the master of Waiting Chi Temple. The writer himself has doubts, and I hope the boss can clear up the doubts.

Unfortunately, the new book was unilaterally and arbitrarily rejected by Qidian for no reason even though it was neither banned nor illegal. If the situation does not change within two to three working days, the new book will be aborted.
