Jule Banquet, Hideyoshi's Political Show
Chapter 415 Jule Banquet, Hideyoshi's Political Show
Facts have proved that the arrangement Hideka made when he came to Kyoto is very important, because since Tenzheng came to Kyoto to get married in December 15, Hideka has not been able to return to Okayama.
The most important reason is that Hideyoshi intends to use the emperor to re-establish his authority, and intends to invite the emperor to visit Juledai on April 4th. For this reason, he invited all the famous people in the world to come to Juledi to welcome the emperor.
The scope of Hideyoshi's invitation this time is very large, and daimyos from Kyushu to the Ou region in the northeast have been invited all over the place.
In the west of Kanto, it is easy to understand that reason has already surrendered under Hideyoshi's iron hoof, and in the east of Kanto, Hideyoshi believes that the legal rationality of his rule is the same as the "Ou Yu Sonothing" issued to the Ou daimyo at the end of last year (1587). make".
Ou Yu's daimyo may be intimidated by Hideyoshi's power, even if he could not come in person, he sent his trusted retainers to show his respect for Hideyoshi.
However, in this case, there is a different kind who turned a deaf ear to Hideyoshi's invitation, that is, the general Zhixing of nearly 6 million shi in the command of Sagami, Izu, Ueno, Musashi, Shangso, Shimoso, Liuguo, Shimono, and Hitachi Hojo's.
Just like when Hideyoshi invited Hojo Ujimasa, Ujinao and his son to come to his Guanbai Xusheng two years ago, Hojo responded indifferently to Hideyoshi's invitation.
As a great master, he neither gave a positive answer nor a negative answer to the diplomatic behavior of other countries, and Hideyoshi was displeased by his superior appearance.
Of course, Hideyoshi doesn't have so much free time to take care of the Hojo clan now, the most important thing for him now is to perform the play well before the emperor's performance. After the emperor's performance is over, Hideyoshi will naturally question the Hojo clan.
April 4th is a specially selected auspicious day for the zodiac. For this day, Hideyoshi named Toyotomi Hideji as the general manager, and asked Wu Bong to cooperate with Hideji to preside over this matter.
Because Hideyoshi was handed over to Hideo by him before he discovered the ability of Nagatsu Masaka, and was responsible for succeeding Maeda Gen to preside over the construction of Okayama Castle.
Therefore, the Changshu Zhengjia did not become one of the five orders to manage finances and taxes as in history, and his position was filled by Miyabe Jijun.
Miyabe Tsuijun was one of Toyotomi Hideji's former adoptive fathers. He took good care of Hideji when he was the same year, so he helped Hideji a lot in this matter.
Hideyoshi was very concerned about this "performance". As early as a month before, Hideyoshi had ordered people to publicize the event, and invited all the people in the world, rich or poor, old friends, to watch the ceremony.
His purpose is to tell the world that there are people through this big show, and to promote his right to rule from top to bottom.
As the adopted son of the Hide family, the Hide family, an important member of the Toyotomi family, was also assigned a task in this matter. Toyotomi Hideji went to the Hideo mansion to discuss this matter with the Hide family, and asked the Hide family to wear samurai uniforms. Riding on a horse, holding high the royal imperial flag and following the emperor's chariot and horse.
At first, Xiujia thought that his ears were not good, and he was mistaken. Why is this work so similar to the work that his banner-holders do.
There was even a moment when Xiujia felt that Xiuci was deliberately making things difficult for him.
It wasn't until Xiujia heard that Xiuchang needed to lead a bullock cart for the emperor that he really believed that it was really an extremely honorable thing as Xiuji said.
The Xiu family accepted this job, and apologized for the rudeness just now, and sighed inwardly, "I still suffered from being uneducated."
On April 4th, Hideyoshi came to the Imperial Palace early in the morning with all the famous names in the world, and told Toyotomi Hideji to make all preparations.
When the time came, Emperor Hou Yangcheng walked out of the Imperial Palace in formal attire and a dove-colored coat.
I don't know whose idea it was, but red carpet was used to pave the floor from the south hall to the long bridge. Hideyoshi followed the emperor and personally lifted the hem of his coat.
The official position of the Hideo family is General Ukonoe. As the head of the samurai family, he only followed Hideyoshi. In front of the Hideo family were a few people such as Tokugawa Ieyasu and Toyotomi Hidecho.
To be honest, the Xiu family has followed Hideyoshi for so many years, and they have never seen Hideyoshi being so humble.
Hideyoshi, who came from later generations and broke old ideas, couldn't understand Hideyoshi's attitude towards the emperor. He was actually the No. 1 in power, but he still had to bow down to a teenage boy in front of the old, young, women and children.
That's right, the current Emperor Goyosei was born in 2 and 1571. He is just 18 years old this year. He is the grandson of the previous emperor Masamachi, who was supported by Hideyoshi after the abdication of the Masamachi .
Judging from this script, Hideyoshi's proper setting of Dong Zhuo should be Gao Cheng's script no matter how bad it is.
But it was such a man who was doing strenuous work and had no respect for the emperor, but humblely held the back skirt of the emperor's clothes in front of the people of the world.
Outside the palace, Hideyoshi sent Emperor Goyosei into an ox cart, and he took Hidecho and Tokugawa Ieyasu and other civil servants in a car or a sedan chair, while Hideyoshi led warriors on horseback and surrounded the emperor's chariot to Jule Go first.
Juledi was originally built next to the Imperial Palace, and the walking distance is only 10 minutes, but perhaps to keep the queues apart, the team had to go around the Imperial Palace for a week before going to Juledi.
Yes, because there were too many daimyos participating in this event, and they more or less brought their retainers to participate, so the line was very long, and of course this also highlighted the grandeur of the event.
After Emperor Goyosari came to Juledi, Hideyoshi ordered a large banquet. During the banquet, Emperor Goyosari personally gave Hideyoshi a wine glass and poured wine for him, which gave Hideyoshi enough face.
It is important to know that the emperor has passed through mythology in the Japanese folk. The emperor would not receive foreign ministers in ordinary times. Even the tone of the emperor's speech needs special training to speak the unique "crane sound".
Take Hideyoshi’s visits in the past as an example. When they were first entrusted with the post of Beiqian Shou, Hideka just entered the Imperial Palace and visited far away through the curtain. During the whole process, Hideyoshi and the minister played duets, and did not hear a word from the emperor. It even made Xiujia suspect the illusion that the emperor was no longer in it.
But later, after he was appointed Lieutenant General of Right Guard, he finally got half a step up to the palace and heard the emperor's "crane sound". It wasn't until he was promoted to General of Right Guard that he was able to hear the emperor's praise for himself.
However, it is such a mythical lord who gathered in the main hall of Juledi with all the ministers and warriors, regardless of their rank, to drink with the officials and personally pour wine for Hideyoshi.
You must know that because there are not enough seats in the hall, there are still a large number of samurai sitting on the ground outside the hall, including the two second fools of Hideyoshi's family, Masanori Fukushima and Kiyomasa Kato.
Hideyoshi, as the three right guard generals, is a proper high-ranking official of the palace, and must accompany Hideyoshi by the emperor's side, so the whole process seems very restrained, and they dare not go beyond the distance at all.
To be honest, Xiujia felt very boring.
But in the courtyard outside the hall separated by a wall, the daimyo who are not qualified to go to the hall meditate without any rules, singing songs that evolved from nasty jokes and drinking wine in groups of three or four.
Hideya didn't believe that Hideyoshi, who attached so much importance to this matter, would not understand that this was a very rude gesture.
Therefore, Hideyoshi, as a bystander, why Hideyoshi showed extreme humility to the emperor in front of the common people, but made a series of arrogance in places where only daimyo appeared.
Did you think it was over?
The banquet lasted for a long time, from dawn to dusk. Seeing that it was getting late, the emperor's valet asked Kanbai Hideyoshi for instructions to let the emperor return to the imperial palace to rest.
As a result, Hideyoshi yelled furiously with the strength of alcohol, "When you are so happy, are you alienating the relationship between me and His Majesty the Emperor?" After that, someone dragged the loyal servant out.
The sudden scolding in the hall scared the officials in the hall, including the emperor himself.
Even the musicians who had been playing stopped, and Hideyoshi scolded angrily, "Why, don't you all know how to play music? You don't know how to play, so let me play."
After finishing speaking, he let the attendant take a shamisen from the hand of the musician and started playing. The sound quality is naturally unflattering.
Everyone dared not speak out against Hideyoshi, but the Emperor shook his head at Hideyoshi's performance. Seeing this, Hideyoshi handed over the shamisen to the Emperor and asked him for instruction.
As a person who was kept in the imperial palace, the life of this so-called "co-lord of the world" was extremely monotonous, so every emperor learned many skills to pass the time.
Early in the Warring States period, when Kyoto was in ruins, there are records of the emperor selling his own paintings to make money.
After Hideyoshi said that, he pushed the shamisen forward, and Emperor Goyosei was at a loss in front of everyone.
The honor of being the emperor told him that he could no longer back down, but he was afraid of Hideyoshi's power, and his grandfather was "requested" to abdicate by Hideyoshi.
He looked down the imperial steps, wanting to seek help from His Highness's ministers, but the internal struggle including the Xiu family deliberately avoided his gaze.
After scanning around and not seeing a single loyal minister, Emperor Goyousei reluctantly took the shamisen from Hideyoshi and played it in front of everyone.
Regardless of Emperor Goyosei's status as a musician, but only from the perspective of music, he really played well, which attracted a burst of applause from inside and outside the hall.
Yes, after hearing that the Emperor himself played the string instrument, the daimyos outside the temple gathered together as if they had agreed to witness the Emperor's "performance" with their own eyes.
After the performance of a piece of music was over, Hideyoshi patted the watch and said to Tomita Kazuhiro who was in charge of recording the matter behind him, "Record it, the emperor was very happy at the feast of Juyuedi, and personally played a piece for all the ministers. Celebrate peace in the world."
The dog-legged Tomita Kazushiro bowed slightly and responded, "Kayi."
However, Emperor Goyosei in the hall turned pale with fright when he heard that Hideyoshi was going to record the matter in history. He didn't know how he would face the ancestors under the nine springs in the future.
Now he can only hope that Hideyoshi's arrangement will end soon, so that he can return to the imperial palace quickly and avoid this unruly villain.
However, things backfired, and Hideyoshi's goal was not achieved. He turned to the ministers and said, "Everyone, it is our samurai's honor to get the emperor's approval. How can we not think of repaying such a king who is willing to be respectful and virtuous?
Therefore, I suggest that on this special day, you all write an oath in front of the emperor, promising to always end up in the imperial court, and vowing never to betray. "
I don't know who shouted at this moment, "Not only to be loyal to the court, but also to be loyal to His Highness Guan Bai. After all, His Highness Guan Bai is the guardian of the world on behalf of the Emperor."
Another person said, "We just need to finally close His Majesty Bai. After all, His Highness Guan Bai belongs to His Majesty the Emperor. If we finally close His Highness Bai, it is equivalent to finally ending His Majesty the Emperor."
Although this logic became more and more strange the more you heard it, how could the Hideo family who had followed Hideyoshi for many years fail to understand the real situation at the moment, and these big names who spoke were probably entrusted by Hideyoshi before.
The atmosphere was set in place, Hideyoshi first reprimanded the daimyo who obviously overstepped behind, Hideyoshi found out that the person who came came did not know him.
Then Hideyoshi confessed to the emperor, saying that he was not strict in his control, and said that he would lead the world's famous names to write an oath, and he would be loyal to the emperor after the deposit.
Then Mitsunari Ishida came from outside the hall holding a tray, first went to Hideyoshi and Hideyoshi signed it, followed by Hidecho Toyotomi, Hideie, Terumoto Mori, Kekatsu Uesugi, Toshiie Maeda and others.
In addition to the above-mentioned big names, there are also big names such as Otomo Yoshitomo, Kyo Goji, Chomune Gabu Shinkin, Kobayakawa Takakage, etc. who signed on it.
Because the time was so fast that Hideyoshi had no time to read the specific content of this statement, it was probably to be loyal to Hideyoshi forever, and cooperate with Hideyoshi's words of loyalty to the emperor.
After signing the affidavit, Hideyoshi was still not finished, he turned around in front of the emperor and said to the daimyo below, "Everyone here, including me, is the emperor's servant, and it is right to be loyal to the emperor.
But there are still many of you who are my subjects, and have followed me all the way to the present, and I ask you to promise me in front of His Majesty the Emperor that you will always be loyal to me and my children. "
After finishing speaking, he turned to Emperor Houyangcheng and said, "Please His Majesty the Emperor to be a witness."
Look at Hideyoshi's clear-headed appearance, it doesn't look like he just used alcohol to drive away the emperor's servants, and forced the emperor to play the piano.
As soon as Hideyoshi finished speaking, Hidecho led Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu and other daimyos to bow to Hideyoshi, even Oda Hidenobu, who just turned 10 years old, bowed to Hideyoshi.
Hideyo who fell to the ground couldn't see all the situation present, but judging from what he saw from the corner of his eye and the expressions of Hideyoshi and the Emperor, the whole hall should be the same as before, and they all fell down to Hideyoshi, expressing I surrendered to Hideyoshi.
Through a seemingly peaceful banquet, Hideyoshi established in the eyes of the people that his ruling authority comes from the emperor, and he is the impression of orthodox rule of the world.
However, he stepped on the emperor's face on the ground in front of all the big names, telling these lords who have the right to speak in their respective territories that he is the ruler of the world, and let them figure out who they should be loyal to.
Regardless of whether these daimyos (especially Mori and Uesugi) really surrendered to Hideyoshi, Hideyoshi's goal of shaking the mountain and shaking the tiger has been achieved.
Hideyoshi nodded in satisfaction when he saw the surrender of the officials, and on behalf of the Guanbai court presented three pieces of thousand-character text and famous paintings to the emperor, and a hundred catties of agarwood, and presented two famous paintings and a tiger skin to Prince Bangfang (royal family) as an apology.
At the same time, on behalf of the Kanbai court, Hideyoshi presented 300 koku of the imperial property to the abdicated Emperor Masamachi, 500 koku of the imperial property to Prince Chihito (the younger brother of Emperor Goyosari), and allocated [-] koku of land from Omi Takashima County. Branch minister.
In addition, Hideyoshi also allocated different financial resources to the ministers who participated in the meeting according to their grades, and used the above methods as an apology.
Originally, the ministers and the royal family were very angry at Hideyoshi's various behaviors today, but Ju Ledi dared not speak out because he was frightened here, and planned to discuss it after going back.
As a result, Hideyoshi gave too much, and the ministers really suffered. They succumbed to Hideyoshi's series of silver bullets, and some ministers even wrote poems for Hideyoshi.
The scene of Emperor Houyangcheng's tour of Jule was unprecedentedly grand, showing the arrival of a peaceful and prosperous age to outsiders.
Hideyoshi consolidated his ruling foundation through a series of small actions, established power in front of the lord, and consolidated his position in the court.
Even letting Guanbai himself have a feeling of being under the emperor, but detached from the emperor's existence, it can be said that the political effect is remarkable.
