A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

After Yamauchi Yoshiji was buried in Shoryakuji Temple, the Bodhi Temple of the Yamauchi clan, the Yamauchi clan calmed down again.

The nine-member Yamauchi Council of Ministers held their first meeting. The ministers who were originally guarding various places had come back to attend the funeral, and they all happened to be in the mansion.

Because the Yamauchi clan has been working hard for many years to centralize power among the daimyo, and although they will discuss matters with important ministers, the person in charge is always Yamauchi Yoshiharu, and everyone is a little confused when he suddenly takes over Yamauchi's power.

The nine people sat in the hall, waiting quietly for Yamauchi Taro to enter. No matter how young Taro Yamauchi is, he is still the nominal decision-maker and will not change because of the need for consecutive sentences for important ministers.

After a while, Murakami Yoshimitsu walked in first and shouted "Your Highness is here!"

Then, as the imperial commander, he quietly knelt down to the side and back of the main couch, holding a sword that was taller than Yamauchi Taro. Then, together with everyone, we waited for the arrival of Yamauchi Taro.

Xiao Pingtai also pushed the small book case forward. Since the Lianjian public discussion could not allow irrelevant personnel to participate, Xiao Pingtai could only be temporarily appointed as the right writer to record the records.

This right-hand writer is not on the same level as Yamauchi, who serves as the head of the Lianpanzhong writers, and his power is naturally far different. Who is it that Koheita and Hosokawa Zainyu are the youngest, and Zainyu's literary skills are inferior to Xiaoheita's, so it is natural that Xiaoheita became the secretary.

After waiting for a minute, Suzhini took Yamauchi Taro's hand and entered the hall. Everyone bowed together and saluted the two.

Although everyone always had some profound feelings about Suzyni coming, no one would say anything. Shouguini from Suruga next door helped her husband and son, and assisted three generations of family heads. No one rejects, resists, cooperates with or refuses Suzyni's participation in politics.

Generally speaking, we just wait and see. After all, this is Yamauchi Taro's biological mother, and her brother is also the Kanto Commander Uesugi Terutora, so he has a very strong backing.

"Everyone, please get up." Shuzhini said softly, and then sat Taro Yamauchi in front of her.

Everyone stood up one after another, but they saw an incredible scene! Uesugi Terutora, who came to express condolences, not only entered the palace, but also held the hand of Yamauchi Taro in a grand manner, sat next to Yamauchi Taro, and accepted the worship of Yamauchi's retainers!

"What's wrong with your highness?" Chief Accountant Yamauchi immediately asked, what's going on when the head of our Uesugi family not only attended the meeting of our Yamauchi family, but also accepted the worship of Yamauchi's retainers!

"My brother is Taro's uncle and the commander of the Kanto Kingdom in charge of the Eastern Kingdom. It would not be rude to come to watch!"

Terutora Uesugi didn't speak, but Hidetoshi answered for him. Yes, Taro Yamauchi, who succeeded Yamauchi Yoshikatsu as the guardian of Shinano, was indeed a subordinate of the Kanto Governor within the framework of the shogunate.

But now the shogunate has been attacked and killed, and the new general has not been announced. The authority of the shogunate had been swept away long ago and could no longer be swept away, and the system of the shogunate collapsed.

Don't you, the commander of Guandong, have to rely on the sword and gun in your hand to speak! If you don't have troops, who will blame you? Hojo's Naotori, you? Takeda Harunobu, are you there?

What's more, Yamauchi Taro is the most distinguished dismounted person in the world except for generals. All samurai (except Ashikaga) must dismount and salute when they see him. This was written by Ashikaga Yoshiteru himself and announced to the whole country.

If you talk about the decency of the shogunate, it should be Terutora Uesugi who bows down to Taro Yamauchi!

"But this is a matter of the Yamauchi clan after all. How can a non-Yamauchi minister get in?" Isshiki also argued with his reason. He is still the head of the Yamauchi clan and cannot accept this happening.

"Taro is still young, and both his father and ancestors are dead. If he is a child, if he doesn't rely on me as his mother, who will he rely on!"

"Naturally, we rely on Zhongpu to serve as retainers. Prime Minister Yu Lin has left behind so many loyal and brave ministers. How can we not protect His Highness?"

"The genealogical retainer? The Miyoshi family is not the genealogical retainer of the Hosokawa family? Didn't Miyoshi serve loyally and bravely to Hosokawa Kyōjo?"

"This,... there are only a few people who can repair and usurp the three good things..."

………

Koheta shook her head after hearing this. Hidetoshi was naturally a person with strong opinions, but how could she have imagined that Yamauchi Yoshiji would announce a consensus of important ministers before his death.

How could a mother allow her beloved son to suffer loss? The power of the Yamauchi family should belong to Taro Yamauchi! Small matters in daily life are handled by the clan members and retainers, while major matters should be decided by Taro or her.

She was not seizing power for herself, she was just doing it for her son, but by acting like this, she immediately became hostile to the retainers.

"I'm just here to listen. I won't interfere in the proceedings or make decisions." Seeing that his sister was about to quarrel with the retainers, Uesugi Teruhora expressed his stance first.

But what's the point of expressing a stance? It's no longer appropriate for Uesugi Teruhu's people to appear here. No matter what, the retainers will definitely be hostile to this.

Naturally, the originally planned discussion could not be carried out at all, and only Shujini hugged Yamauchi Taro and argued with the retainers. But she is the mother of Yamauchi Taro, scolding another mother in front of her son? Unless you have made up your mind to kill Taro Yamauchi, who would dare?

The corpse of Yi Zhi in the mountain is not yet cold, but his power is still there. Everyone here is still a loyal minister.

"Since it is difficult to discuss matters today, it is better to postpone it." Izumo Yamauchi, who had kept his eyes closed, slowly spoke.

Suzyni's confidence comes from being Taro's biological mother, and secondly from being the leader's sister. Her reliance was Uesugi Teru, but Uesugi Teru was in a mess in Echigo Kanto and could not leave the country for a long time.

Izumo Yamauchi didn't want to offend Terutora Uesugi, so he simply used a drag technique to delay Uesugi Terutora's return to the country for as long as one day. After that, it will be an internal conflict within the mountain, no matter how noisy it is, it doesn’t matter.

As soon as Izumo finished speaking, the others reacted quickly, saluted to Taro Yamauchi and Terutora Uesugi, turned around and left.

Suzyni was left sulking there with a bulging belly and an angry look on her face.

Xiao Pingtai packed up his pen, ink, paper and inkstone, but he had no choice but to leave. After all, I am a judge of the public, and I always have to be in step with everyone.

"Koheita, please wait a moment, I will go down to the city with you." Uesugi Teruhora stood up and called out to Koheita.

Koheta hesitated for a moment. It was not a good idea to be alone with Uesugi Teruhu at this time, but he couldn't think of a reason to refuse.

After having people take Suchini and Yamauchi Taro away, Koheita gave some instructions to Murakami Yoshimitsu. Suchini was going to give birth in two months, so it was best to ask a doctor to look at her to avoid danger.

Then Koheita and Uesugi Teruhora left together. The two walked from the inside to the outside of the temple, put on their shoes, and walked slowly down the ramp without saying a word.

Just like this, we walked all the way to the bottom of the castle, and the Otemon Gate was right in front of us. Koheita glanced at Uesugi Terutora subconsciously.

"Xiao Ping Tai, do you think I'm coveting Yamauchi?"
