A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Chapter 411 14. Taro Yamauchi inherits the family business

Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty and a group of brothers conquered the world. After becoming emperor, the group of people remained the same as they were in the mixed society. Shusun Tong helped him formulate a system of etiquette, and he started to behave accordingly.

Liu Bang couldn't help but sigh, only now did he feel the joy of being an emperor!

Some things are completely incomprehensible to modern people, but the sense of ritual is there. You may feel empty-headed or gimmicky, but there must be a reason.

When drinking this tea, Xiao Pingtai, who has only had a full meal for a few years, can only say the cliché that after all the hardships, there will be endless aftertaste. Looking at the others, although the old god is there on the surface, Xiao Pingtai estimates that they feel the same way as Xiao Pingtai.

But this environment and the sense of ritual are indeed different. I feel like I am a "high-class person" and have a "literary and artistic style" while sitting. In layman's terms, this is a fresh and refined way of pretending.

No wonder this tea ceremony became so popular in the end. It is indeed a good way to reflect your identity.

People with no money and no time can't play at all!

There are no Aston Martins to buy for you at this time. No matter how luxurious the house is, it is just like the Golden Tea Room and the Golden Pavilion Temple. It's not as cool as a few people drinking tea from a broken bowl. That style is really good.

After several people have finished a circle of tea, they must blow the tea bowl, tea can, flower arrangement, and incense burner according to the rules to show their level of artistic appreciation. It should have been to use some famous items to better drive up the value of the famous items. But now the tea sets used by monk Shaocheng are ordinary, and they can't boast much.

Each of them gave a few false compliments, and the tea party was successfully concluded.

Since then, Yamauchi Yoshiharu has temporarily lived behind the temple of Shoryakuji Temple and controlled the major events of the Yamauchi clan. As for the small matters, they were all left to the chief planner and important ministers in the mountain to discuss and deal with them.

He himself knew very well that all he had to do was prepare the Dinghai Shenzhen, and he could no longer be as meticulous as before, asking about every detail. Appropriately delegate power to a group of people and important ministers to win over people's hearts.

Uncle Tsunari came to the mountain as a minister from the Third Palace. Although he came to take refuge, his identity was here. Now that Yamauchi Yoshiharu is back, his colleagues who serve as the three counselors always visit each other.

Apart from anything else, there is probably no one in the mountain who can compare to Uncle Tsunley in terms of bragging skills. The two met late, and Yamauchi Yoshiharu immediately invited Uncle Tsunari to be his royal guard. To put it bluntly, I am a diner. I support you to relieve your boredom, not as a retainer.

In addition, Uncle Tsunato has been in Kyoto for more than 40 years and has a bright eye. Yamauchi Yoshiharu is very interested and makes him happy. Yamauchi Yoshiharu showed a slight hint of fatigue and said goodbye. You can't even learn this skill.

Everything is centered around Yamauchi Yoshiharu!

After ten days of calm, a message came from Kitahata University in Hamamatsu. Ogasawara Nagamasa had brought back the coffin of Yamauchi Yoshikatsu. As for others, the weather is really hot and it rained some time ago. I couldn't find a good board, and even the lime couldn't stop the smell, so I had to cremate it and put it back in a spiritual urn.

Only Yamauchi Yoshikatsu used iron mesh pine boards from North Korea, which were extremely airtight, so there wasn’t much of a problem. After bringing it back to Yamauchi, it can be left to the Yamauchi family to handle.

Although everyone in Yamauchi knew the news of Yamauchi Yoshikatsu's death in the battle in Kyoto early, but now that the coffin has been pulled back, what needs to be done still needs to be done.

When Imagawa died, there were no fewer than eight thousand monks chanting sutras. The Yamauchi family could not afford to be left behind. From south to north, they invited all the monks and novices they could, and gathered more than five thousand people.

After the coffin of Yamauchi Yoshikatsu arrived at the Yamauchi mansion, a large-scale water and land ceremony was held. Only then did Yamauchi Taro know that his father had died in the war. Even the three-year-old child cried so much that he almost convulsed.

Terutora Uesugi also came to Yamauchi in person again. The nearby daimyo sent people to express their condolences, and the funeral was extremely grand. On the day when he was buried at Songli Temple, there were no less than 40,000 to 50,000 people watching the ceremony, which shows how popular the Yamauchi clan was among the people.

People are dead, but the living must continue to work hard to live. Yamauchi Taro Reimae succeeded to the throne and officially served as the governor of the Shinshu Yamauchi clan as the eldest son of Yamauchi Yoshikatsu, Ashikaga Yoshiaki's son, and Uesugi Teruyuki's eldest son.

The samurai retainers under the umbrella of the Yamauchi clan and the noble families of the country all expressed their allegiance to him. Of course, they were more loyal to Yamauchi Yoshiharu who held Taro Yamauchi.

Yamauchi Yoshiharu naturally served as Yamauchi Taro's proxy, that is, his guardian, temporarily taking over the power of the Yamauchi clan on his behalf. The Yamauchi family business was handed over smoothly without any danger, although it was only on the surface.

Mrs. Nagao and Mrs. Kiso also became monks together. They are not ordinary women from the samurai family, and they may remarry. As the wife and concubine of Yamauchi Yoshikatsu, the only way to become a monk is now available.

Of course, although they became monks, they actually still lived in the city. One had to take care of Taro Yamauchi, and the other had to take care of Kotaro Kiso (who was succeeded by Kiso Yoshimasa). It can only be said to be a gesture, to be widowed for their husbands.

On this trip, Ogasawara Nagamasa not only transported back the coffin of Yamauchi Yoshikatsu, but also requested a posthumous gift from the imperial court. Yamauchi Yoshikatsu died in the service of Major General Shinano Mamoru, the fifth rank of the Imperial Guard. Therefore, according to the etiquette, the four senior councilors were given posthumously to show their merits.

In this way, the transaction is considered completed. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. The young Yamauchi Yoshikatsu ended his magnificent life in such a short period of time, and it came to a complete end.

Most of the other samurai who died in Kyoto were the Guards Iron Cannon Horseback of Yamauchi Yoshikatsu. The youngest was only seventeen or eighteen years old, but fortunately, he was not the only son in the family when he was selected. Otherwise, it would have been a big shock to suddenly have twenty or thirty samurai families.

In line with the loyalty of dying together, Yamauchi Yoshiharu ordered all the families of these war dead to be brought into the flag. In fact, unfortunately, they were allowed to go to Japan to continue their families.

These are all things that should be done, and no one objects to them. Funeral ceremonies were also held for them, and they were all buried in Songli Temple. There should be a lot of pension money, and it should be given generously and generously.

The three people who escaped with their lives were asked to explain clearly what they saw and everything that happened that night to their families. It was not about accountability. The remaining three people were all injured and fought hard together. of.

The main purpose is to write down this incident, record it in the documents at Yamauchi's home, and process it artistically and epically, so as to make the images of Yamauchi Yoshikatsu and Ashikaga Yoshiteru more glorious and majestic, and to make the Miyoshi trio and Matsunaga pass. The image will be infamy for eternity.

Kurosawa Yoshiki, who wrote the book, is a master of writing. Ashikaga Yoshiki stabbed hundreds of famous swords on the floor. He faced thousands of enemy troops for three hours and killed hundreds of people with his hands.

Yamauchi Yoshikatsu is even more exciting. Holding the famous sword Fujigorō Kanemitsu, he fights ten times in the enemy's formation. With more than twenty arrows in his body, he is still fighting endlessly. He is praised as the master who rushed into battle to help the danger in ancient times. However, he heard that Shinshu was guarding the mountain.
