Ashikaga Princess
Chapter 487 Ashikaga Princess
The Hide family waited in Iwafu Castle for a few days, and Osafune Sadakin came from the east with Todo Takatora and Ueno, accompanied by 8000 troops from Satomi and Koumi.
Xiujia greeted them warmly out of politeness.But the big names in the Kanto region like Yoshinobu Satake and Haruto Yuki didn't have any good looks for Satomi Yoshiyasu.
The Xiu family asked them to go down to rest for a while, and then prepare a dinner for them in the evening to cleanse the dust, but the long boat Zhenqin followed the Xiu family to the imperial palace as if there was some secret, and said carefully to the Xiu family, "I will present a gift to the Lord." A gift that is enough to stabilize Kanto."
When Xiujia looked at him, he always felt a trace of wretchedness, and just as he was about to ask for details, he already called the warrior behind to bring in the "gift".
Xiujia did not expect that the so-called "gift" in his mouth was actually a woman.
The girl is about twenty-eight years old, but she has the posture of a banji continuing her history, her black eyebrows are beautiful and her eyes are far away; her green temples are thickly dyed with spring smoke, her fingers are like chopped onion roots, and her mouth is like vermilion; Exquisite and unparalleled in the world.
From the moment the girl came in, Hideo's eyes never left her, until she bowed down to salute Hideo, and said her name in his stern voice, "I met Toyotomi right in Xia Ashikaga." general."
"Ashikaga? Uh? Ashikaga!" Hideka was surprised by the girl's surname, and tilted her head to look at Osafune Sadakin.
Japanese women did not have a surname in ancient times. Before they got married, their servants would call her princess name, while parents generally called her baby name directly.
Only when the family is extinct and it is necessary for a woman to come out to serve as Ji Wushi and the family governor, will the surname be given to the outside world in the official address.
For example, since his father could not give birth to a son, Naotora Ii could only give him a boy's name "Master Jiro" and let him succeed as the head of the family.
But after marrying her son-in-law and adopted son Zhiqin, her name was changed to Ahu.It wasn't until after Naoki died in battle that he was forced to go out again to act as Ii Naotora.
Right now, the girl announced her name with a surname in front of it. It is obvious that there is no male in the family to inherit the family position, so this girl is allowed to inherit the position of family governor with her surname.
And as the girl announced her name, her identity was also ready to be revealed. She was officially the only heir of the Furukawa family, Shi Ji.
In history, she was asked by Hideyoshi to be married to Ashikaga Kunichao, the son of Koumi Gongfang, and realized the union of Koumi and Furukawa, and was awarded 3500 stones (400 guan) of Shimono Kilianchuan.
During the period of the Tokugawa shogunate, the Kitagawa family first became a high-ranking family, and then was promoted, and was allowed to enjoy the same status as the Shimangoku daimyo.
"Are you the Princess Ji of the Kamakura Gongfang family?" Although the identity has been roughly confirmed, the Xiu family still asked him cautiously.
The girl saluted the Hide family and admitted, "Yes, my father is the fifth-generation Kamakura Duke Ashikaga Yoshishi."
Ashikaga Ji is the daughter of Furukawa Prince Fang Ashikaga Yoshishi. There is no doubt that she is a proper nobleman.
At the moment when Furukawa Ashikaga has no male heir, if the Hide family marries her, they will have the legitimacy to rule Kanto. No wonder Osafuna Sada is so careful, and enthusiastically told himself that it is a "gift" that is enough to rule Kanto stably .
There is another very important point, many people only realize that her father is Kokata Furukawa, but forget that his mother is Jokoin, the daughter of Hojo Shiyasu!
If they can marry him in, the Hide family will not only have the legality to rule the Kanto from a legal point of view, but also have a link with the old ministers of the Hojo clan.
It is true that Hideyoshi wanted to severely punish the Hojo clan in his crusade against the Kanto. Even though the Hojo clan and its important ministers could be changed after the war, many middle and low-level warriors on this land could not be moved away.
They have been favored by the Hojo clan for several generations, and they have a natural centripetal force towards the Hojo clan. They will not be too friendly to outsiders, especially Toyotomi who destroyed Hojo.
Take Tokugawa Ieyasu's transition to Kanto as an example in history. Regardless of the samurai class, the underworld organization headed by Fumozhong is making waves in Kanto, which makes Tokugawa Ieyasu a headache.
In terms of samurai, the Tokugawa family had to rely on the Hachioji, an armed force that was not considered a samurai, to balance the hostility of the Kanto samurai towards them.
However, if the Hide family can marry Ashikaga Hime, all these problems will be solved, and the Hide family will become the inheritor of Furukawa's political legacy, and have the moral leadership over the Kanto warriors.
At the same time, because Uji's mother is from the Hojo clan, it is entirely possible to win over a group of Hojo's old officials in the name of Uji.
There is no doubt about the abilities of these old ministers. If they cannot be used for themselves, they can only be exiled to other countries as in history and eventually absorbed by the surrounding daimyo.
After all, from the standpoint of these warriors, the culprit who wants to become an official to attack the house of his former owner needs an excuse that can convince himself and others.
And Shi Ji is this excuse!
Xiujia looked at Ashikaga Jihime in front of him, his eyes shone like he was not looking at a treasure, and he forgot the time for a moment.
It wasn't until Longchuan Zhenqin in front of her reminded herself that the Xiu family realized that she was still lying on the ground, waiting for her order.
Xiujia, who sensed it, hurriedly let him lay down and explained to him: "Eh, you get up. I'm really sorry that I just suddenly thought of something and ignored you."
Before Ashikaga Jihime got up, the pleasant voice came one step ahead, "Your Highness has a lot to do every day, and it is an honor to wait for Your Highness."
Looking at Ashikaga Jihime who had already got up, Hideka was fascinated by her beauty here, completely forgetting that she just fell in love with a girl in Ninja Castle half a month ago.
Since ancient times, it has been the order of parents and the words of matchmakers.The matter of marriage is naturally discussed by the head of the house and the head of the house, which is why when the Hide family was in Ninja Castle, they hinted that Narita's marriage could be finalized after a while.
But the current Ashikaga family is Furukawa, and under the old system, she is a senior person than the Hide family. Although she is also the governor of the Kanto Ashikaga family, she is also a party!
The Xiu family didn't know how to talk about this marriage with others.
Could it be that he said directly, "Shi Ji, I like you, would you like to marry me and become my concubine, and give birth to monkeys for me?"
They are the Furukawa government!Looking for a partner is also to recruit a son-in-law and adopted son to inherit the family name, so there is no reason to become a concubine!
The Xiu family didn't speak, and Ashikaga Jihime, who was a guest, naturally couldn't speak, and the atmosphere in the hall fell into a strange embarrassment.
In the end, it was Osafune Sadain who opened up the topic and said, "Ashikaga Den came to so-called two things, one is to express the position of the Kamakura Duke's family to Guan Bai and the lord.
Although Mamoru Ryoda Kouchi (Harusuke Ryoda) and Daisuke Isshiki Miyauchi (Naomo Isshiki) participated in the Hojo Army and are now in Odawara Cage Castle, the choices made by the two of them have absolutely nothing to do with the Ashikaga family. "
Harusuke Liang Tian and Naoto Isshiki are important retainers of the Furukawa family, one is the Lord of Shimosou Kingdom Sekisu, and the other is the Furukawa Castle who took care of the Furukawa Castle in place of the Hojo clan.
Yes, after the Hojo Clan defeated Furukawa, they had already taken control of Furukawa Castle. Otherwise, the two retainers of Furukawa, Yuuki and Koyama, would not have continued to fight independently of Hojo.
The Hojo family's control of the Furukawa government is not only for his loose wife and son, but also for the help of the two biggest young men, Ryota Harusuke and Isshiki Naoto. One is in charge of internal affairs inside and the other is in charge of military affairs outside.
Although the Hojo clan is nominally the Furukawa government's assistant governor, it actually became a dog raised by the Hojo clan.
Because of dissatisfaction with the dictatorship of the two, most of the retainers in Furukawa Castle who were unwilling to surrender to the Hojo clan fled to Yuki, Satake and other families.
In this case, Noda Hirotomo became the only important minister who could fight against the two.
But he is very smart and knows that he can't stand against the two people who have the support of the Hojo family, so he is in step with the two on the surface, but secretly has been protecting the existence and majesty of the Ashikaga family.
During Hideyoshi's crusade against Hojo, Osafune Sadain defeated Shimono and Shimoso's allied forces in Ueno, which gave him hope. Then when Osafune Sadain went south, he acted as an internal agent to open the city and help him contact the Kanto princes.
Following the words of Nasafune Sadakin, Noda Hirotomo also said, "Since the Haru family, my Ashikaga family has been oppressed by the Hojo family. Hanoi and the palace have nothing to do with the power of the king, and the fact that Xiandian is alive its bitter.
The two are domineering and domineering, and many important officials in the family have been exiled by him, and the Ashikaga family has been completely evacuated by him.Even the ministers suspected that His Royal Highness Ume Chiyo Wangmaru's death was because of the poisonous hands of the two! "
As Noda Hirotomo spoke, he began to cry with snot and tears, and when Hideka, who was sitting at the top, heard that Ume Chiyo Omaru's deadly fight was finally attributed to these two guys, the corners of his eyes froze. I started to dance uncontrollably, thinking, "The show is over, it's over."
You must know that Umechiyo Omaru is the only son of Ashikaga Yoshishi, the younger brother of Ujihime, and he should have succeeded to the throne. It is much easier to control a child than an adult. They have no reason to do anything to Umechiyo Omaru .
However, Changchuan Zhenqin slammed the floor with his fist at the right time and scolded, "It's too much! It's really unreasonable to use a minister to kill the king!"
Hideka watched their singing and harmony performance, and already understood their meaning in their hearts, so they said to Hime Noda Hirotomo, Princess of Ashikaga, "I have received your intentions, and I will report the truth to Lord Guanbai. The Zuli family will not be involved, so please rest assured."
Noda Hirotomo was very satisfied with Hideka's answer, and signaled Osafune Sada with his eyes to continue talking.
After receiving the signal, Osafune Sadakin said to the Hide family, "The second thing is that I want His Highness to be a matchmaker to find a male general for the Furukawa Ashikaga family."
After that, she pointed to Ashikaga Jiji and said, "His Highness Ashikaga is the only heir of the Furukawa Ashikaga family today, but she is a woman after all, so it is inconvenient to handle affairs. After all, the Ashikaga family still needs a man to be the head of the house."
Here is an explanation. The Furukawa family is what the outside world calls the Kanto family who were expelled from Kamakura. They still call themselves Kamakura, and the Hide family also calls them Kamakura to show respect.
The Furukawa Ashikaga family mentioned by Noda Hirotomo is the Kamakura Komakata, but one will use the current Furukawa as a label when reporting the name of the family to show the difference from Kokumashi Kashi.
The Xiu family heard that they asked him to help Ashikaga Ji find a husband instead of giving her to be his wife, the Xiu family was not so interested, and said casually, "If His Highness Ashikaga has a suitable candidate for this matter, Just report it to me, and I can help make peace on your behalf."
Seeing Hideka's expression in person, Osafune Sada knew that Hideka was wrong, and he said, "It's a pity that His Highness Ashikaga can't find a suitable samurai to join the Ashikaga family.
At the Ashikagaden of the Furukawa Imperial Palace, I heard about His Highness’s victory over the Hojo Clan in Ueno, and I asked Dr. Zuomonwei (Hirotomo Noda) about your past and admired you a lot. "
Osafune Sadaon said this, then turned to look at Noda Hirotomo and asked, "You are right, Dr. Zaemon."
Noda Hongchao answered directly, "There are indeed such things. Yu Dianyang has always praised His Highness for being brave and resourceful. He is really a model of the samurai family. He also said that the person she most wants to marry in the world is Your Highness."
Hideka looked at the two old men and talked to each other, and looked at Ashikaga Jihime in front of Noda Hirotomo, but at this time Ashikaga Jihime had already buried her head in her arms, Hideka Can't see her expression.
Although I can't see her expression, for a girl who is only 15 years old and doesn't even know what love is, Xiujia knows it all.
In addition, the Xiu family already had Ju Ji as the main wife, so the Xiu family could only give up this opportunity and said, "But I already have a main wife, so I'm afraid I can only live up to His Highness Ashikaga's kindness."
Unexpectedly, Noda Hirotomo then said, "There is no need for a royal wife, my royal family requests to become His Highness's flat wife, and promises that the first child born will inherit the name of the Ashikaga family."
In fact, there is no such thing as a hira wife in Japan. The so-called hira wife in Japan is a concubine. After all, a family can only have one mistress.
But this time, Noda Hirotomo specifically emphasized this word, obviously hoping that Hideka would put Ashikaga Jihime above the concubine and below Kikuhime.
If it is necessary to divide them, Juji is equivalent to the queen, Shiji is equivalent to the imperial concubine, and the other wives are the status of the imperial concubine. They are all masters. Only concubines like Anan and Naoko are the lowest. of.
In fact, at this time, the Xiu family already wanted to agree, but the matter involved Kikuhime, the Xiu family had to discuss with Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Toyotomi Hidecho, and could not directly make the decision like Kai Ji.
Therefore, Xiujia said with a little embarrassment, "Your so-called flat wife is really unreasonable. But for the stability of Kanto, I am willing to do my best to help you propose to His Highness Kanbai and Gifu Dai Nayan. If they If you agree, there should be no problem with this matter."
Noda Hirotomo and Nasafune Sadaki, the two old foxes, saw that the Xiu family agreed to come down. After exchanging eyes with each other, they brought Shiji to salute the Xiu family and said, "Your Highness (lord) will be troubled if this is the case."
Although the horoscope of marriage has not been written yet, the Xiu family deliberately let her stay in their Honmaru Palace to rest out of the necessity of mastering the card of Ashikaga Jihime. Of course, they gave Furukawa the highest standard of courtesy.
And those old ministers in the castle who heard about Furukawa's arrival, like Utsunomiya Kunizuna, Yuki Haruto, Satake Yoshinobu and others came to the city again to pay a visit.
Although Ashikaga Jiji is just a girl, it is enough to reflect the particularity of her identity.
Especially when they saw Hideka accompanying them, these daimyos didn't dare to overstep in the slightest. Even Yoshinobu Satake, the leader of the Kanto League, could only kowtow obediently in front of this 15-year-old girl.
Everything seems to always have accidents in such a peaceful time.
As a Kanto daimyo, Satomi Yoshiyasu did not go to the city to meet him like other daimyos when he knew that Furukawa was entering the city. He even bowed slightly when he saw Ashikaga Jihime at the dinner.
Such various statements angered Xiujia, who already regarded Shi Ji as his wife, and his actions of privately attacking the superior and inferior generals instantly angered Xiujia.
He had to save face for his future wife, and at the same time, he had to take advantage of Li Jian Yikang, a slinging chicken, to establish a good reputation in front of the princes of the Kanto.
Hideka scolded Sanada Nobushige behind him in front of the Kanto princes, "How do you do things? I said before the banquet that the people participating in the banquet are all very honorable, how can you make a mistake in ranking? Why don't you advance the seats of Shimono Mori, Zuowei Mendu and others by two more seats!"
Speaking of which, the Hide family looked viciously at Satomi Yoshiyasu and Ashikaga Yorijun who was beside him and continued, "This is how the chief guard and His Royal Highness Koumijo can take their seats!"
(End of this chapter)
The Hide family waited in Iwafu Castle for a few days, and Osafune Sadakin came from the east with Todo Takatora and Ueno, accompanied by 8000 troops from Satomi and Koumi.

The girl is about twenty-eight years old, but she has the posture of a banji continuing her history, her black eyebrows are beautiful and her eyes are far away; her green temples are thickly dyed with spring smoke, her fingers are like chopped onion roots, and her mouth is like vermilion; Exquisite and unparalleled in the world.
From the moment the girl came in, Hideo's eyes never left her, until she bowed down to salute Hideo, and said her name in his stern voice, "I met Toyotomi right in Xia Ashikaga." general."

And those old ministers in the castle who heard about Furukawa's arrival, like Utsunomiya Kunizuna, Yuki Haruto, Satake Yoshinobu and others came to the city again to pay a visit.
Although Ashikaga Jiji is just a girl, it is enough to reflect the particularity of her identity.
Especially when they saw Hideka accompanying them, these daimyos didn't dare to overstep in the slightest. Even Yoshinobu Satake, the leader of the Kanto League, could only kowtow obediently in front of this 15-year-old girl.
Everything seems to always have accidents in such a peaceful time.
As a Kanto daimyo, Satomi Yoshiyasu did not go to the city to meet him like other daimyos when he knew that Furukawa was entering the city. He even bowed slightly when he saw Ashikaga Jihime at the dinner.
Such various statements angered Xiujia, who already regarded Shi Ji as his wife, and his actions of privately attacking the superior and inferior generals instantly angered Xiujia.
He had to save face for his future wife, and at the same time, he had to take advantage of Li Jian Yikang, a slinging chicken, to establish a good reputation in front of the princes of the Kanto.
Hideka scolded Sanada Nobushige behind him in front of the Kanto princes, "How do you do things? I said before the banquet that the people participating in the banquet are all very honorable, how can you make a mistake in ranking? Why don't you advance the seats of Shimono Mori, Zuowei Mendu and others by two more seats!"
Speaking of which, the Hide family looked viciously at Satomi Yoshiyasu and Ashikaga Yorijun who was beside him and continued, "This is how the chief guard and His Royal Highness Koumijo can take their seats!"
