Chapter 773: Three years of longevity, the request of Morino Kiyoshi, a big shot in Kyoto
"What! The eighth shogun Ashikaga Yoshimasa is seriously ill? Ashikaga Yoshimasa brought Ashikaga Yoshimasa to Luo?!"
"How could the position of shogun fall back into the hands of Ashikaga Yoshiki?"
In the tea room, after hearing such shocking news, Takeda Nobuhiro and his son Mitsuhiro Uizaki looked at each other and were speechless for a moment.
The Onin Rebellion lasted for ten years, and the world was also in chaos for ten years. Although the Ezo region was not affected, many horrific wars that challenged the authority of the shogunate were heard. This war was extremely destructive, although it was essentially a shogunate.
, a three-way power struggle between the Hosokawa family and the Yamana family, but in the eyes of the world, it was the general Ashikaga Yoshimasa who fought a civil war over the inheritance of his son Ashikaga Yoshinaga and his younger brother Ashikaga Yoshihiro!
Finally, Ashikaga Yoshihiro was defeated and expelled, peace was restored in Kyoto, and the position of shogun was passed into the hands of Ashikaga Yoshinaga. In the past few years, Ashikaga Yoshinaga led his army to conquer various places, and also restored some authority of the shogunate...
The result came suddenly. The ninth shogun Ashikaga Yoshimasa, who was only 25 years old, died suddenly during the expedition. And just eight months later, the eighth shogun Ashikaga Yoshimasa was seriously ill and died...
"Ashikaga Yoshiki brought his son Yoshiki to Luo..."
Takeda Nobuhiro's expression changed, and he pondered for a long time. Then, he looked solemn again and asked.
"Morino Kiyoshi, if General Ashikaga Yoshimasa dies, who will succeed him?"
"According to the laws of the samurai family, Ashikaga Yoshisai will be the successor as shogun, and Ashikaga Yoshisai will be regarded as the Grand Imperial Palace and actually control the shogunate."
Morino Kiyoshi answered directly without thinking. He had thought about this question many times, and the big shot behind the scenes also reminded him before leaving.
"Mr. Nobuhiro, you know that during the Onin Rebellion, Commander Hosokawa stood with the Yisheng lineage, and now the Yishu lineage has returned..."
"The hostility between Governor Hosokawa and Yoshimi's family, coupled with Yoshimasa's wife, Mrs. Tomiko..."
Nobuhiro Takeda looked heavy and sighed with emotion.
"The seeds of civil strife have been planted... From now on, the shogunate will be troubled again!"
"yes!..."
Morino sighed quietly. This is the conflict between the general family and the steward family. It is irreconcilable. From now on, Kyoto will be in trouble! And as a big businessman in Kyoto, how can he struggle and survive in such a whirlpool of power?
Coming down?
The two of them were silent for a long time, and both knew the power of it. There were constant internal strife in the shogunate, frequent changes of generals, leaders fighting with each other, and the authority of the shogunate was constantly declining. And the once sensational cases of subordinates overcoming superiors were becoming more and more common. Experiences like theirs
With the rich characters, we can already vaguely feel that an era of endless chaos is gradually beginning!...
After a while, Morino Kiyoshi changed the topic, with a slight smile on his face and sincere eyes.
"People of the Tang Dynasty once said, 'So in troubled times, traces disappear, and green forests are lost without doing anything.'... Mr. Nobuyoshi, you have established a foundation in Ezo, far away from troubles, and it has become increasingly prosperous and stable, and can be passed on to future generations, but...
It’s so enviable!..."
"Ha! The general's family is full of troubles, and the mission of 'conquering the barbarians' can only allow us and other warriors to work hard for it..."
Takeda Nobhiro shook his head with a smile, ambition hidden in his words. He pondered for a while, but then he talked about the Tang sentence just now.
“This metaphor of ‘troubled times’ is quite vivid, but I don’t know where it comes from?”
"Oh, this is the Song Dynasty's "Beimeng Suoyan". I bought it from Tang Ship. The text is quite interesting. I still have a copy on the ship. If Mr. Xin Guang is interested, I will send someone to deliver it later."
"Ha! The Northland is desolate. It would be great if I could have a few Tang books to read through!"
Takeda Nobuhiro nodded readily and secretly paid attention to the word "Tangbune". He was thoughtful and asked with a smile.
"Morino Kiyoshi, my old friend, you came here this time to inform me of important events in Kyoto... Is there anything you can do that I can help you with?"
After going round and round, we finally came to the topic. The great businessman Morino Kiyoshi's mood perked up. He bowed respectfully, bowed his head, and made a sincere request.
"Mr. Xinguang, I do have something to ask for when I come here this time!"
"It doesn't matter! As fellow villagers, we have known each other for many years. No matter what it is, let's talk and hear it!"
"Hi!"
The big businessman Morino Qing lowered his figure and spoke softly.
"Over the years, I have made a living in Kyoto. Under the protection of the Tendai Sect Nan Eizan Myoho Court, I was lucky enough to open a rice house in the Shichijo rice field in Kyoto..."

Hearing this, Takeda Nobuhiro raised his eyebrows, his thoughts were spinning, and he was very unpredictable.
The amount of information in this sentence is actually huge. First of all, rice is the most important staple food in Japan. "Rice trading" has no worries about buying and selling, and it can collect money stably. It is the best money-making industry in the world! And it can be opened in the Kyoto rice market. The people in Miwu are all big businessmen at the top level, with extremely powerful connections and means. Because if you do such a profitable livelihood industry in Kyoto without the protection of the big shots in Kyoto, you will be seeking death and you will definitely not be able to continue. of!
The Shichijo rice field mentioned by Morino Kiyoshi is the rice base in the lower part of Kyoto. Not far from it is the Rengeoin main hall. This Buddhist temple was founded by Emperor Goshirakawa and built by Taira Kiyomori. It has a special status and is mostly built by The royal nobles presided over the Buddhist hall, which is solemn and gorgeous in style. There are thirty-three sections of space between the beams and pillars, also known as "Sanjusangendo". Later in the Edo period, the "Sanjusangendo Long Shot Festival" was famous. It was held in this Buddhist hall. And this Buddhist hall belongs to the "Tiandai Sect Miao Court".
"Morino Kiyoshi, you and I have known each other for many years, and I have always treated each other with sincerity! You have a relationship like Miao Court behind your back, but you have never told me about it. It is really hard to hide it from me!"
Takeda Nobuhiro's thoughts were spinning, anger appeared on his face, and his words were much heavier. In fact, he and Morino Kiyoshi had known each other for many years, and they had already made speculations about the background of the other party.
The other party's name is "Qing", which symbolizes the "sincerity" in Buddhism. Such a name is not something that ordinary businessmen can give. It must be the name given by a certain eminent monk in the Buddhist temple. At this time in Heguo, Gods and Buddhas were harmonious, and Buddhism prospered. Mahayana Buddhism was closely integrated with the upper class, and various Buddhist sects had great influence, especially in the Kinki area. The strength of the Tendai Sect was the first among the Buddhist sects. The field can naturally be easily affected.
At this time, the situation in Kyoto was changing, and Morino Qing came from a thousand miles away to ask for something. He must have been ordered by the big shot in the Miao Court behind him...
After sorting it out, Takeda Nobuhiro had some guesses about Morino Kiyoshi's purpose. He was pretending to be angry at this time, just to take the initiative in the subsequent conversation so as to gain more benefits!
"...Xinguang Gong, you and I have known each other for many years, and we are sincere friends! I will not hide it from you. In the Miao Court, there are important figures from the public and military families. They seem to be respected, but in fact they are a bottomless whirlpool. And my rice
Although I have made a little profit from this business, most of it has to be dedicated to the adults...I didn't mention it before, I am completely sincere and don't want you to get involved!..."
Seeing Takeda Nobuhiro's anger, Morino Kiyoshi suddenly understood. He fell on the floor, touched his head to the ground, and finally told his purpose.
"The situation in Kyoto has changed beyond everyone's expectation! Within a year, the ninth general died suddenly, the eighth general was seriously ill, and the tenth general is about to succeed..."
"Several generals before and after were in conflict, even drawing swords to fight, which spread throughout the world... The big shots in the Wonderful Court could not detach themselves from the outside. They stood on the wrong footing and were under the dangerous wall..."
"There have always been trade exchanges between the Ezo land and the mountains of the mainland, and even went as far as the far north through Katai and the Thousand Islands... You are famous, Lord Nobuyoshi, and you have received tribute from various tribes in Ezo... I am here to
I came here this time because I was entrusted by someone and could not refuse, so I wanted to ask Duke Xinguang for some tribute gifts that are rare in the world..."
