Chapter 89 12. The World Situation Changes Quietly

Kobayata led Aji through the streets of Omi, and the closer they got to Kyoto, the more they felt the atmosphere was different. Children in the villages and towns along the way sang that Kanto Kanrei Uesugi Danmasa had quelled the unrest in the east and was about to lead troops to Kyoto to support the shogunate and end the chaos in the world.

Based on Kobayata's understanding of the current situation, the fact that Kanto was completely over more than a month ago was now known to everyone in Kyoto. The speed at which this news spread showed that Uesugi Masatora had capable people under his command.

It was only at this time that it was discovered that Uesugi Masatora was by no means a truly perfect person who valued justice. When Kanto was redistributed before, he placed his own people everywhere, supported the nameless Koyomi Yoshizumi, and suppressed the nameless Ashikaga Yoshiuji.

He even used his brother-in-law Yamanouchi Yoshikatsu to divide and control the Hachioji domain of Koshuguchi. The two major Musashi people were pulled into one faction (Ota) and fought against the other faction (Narita). The whole resettlement process was either because there were capable people behind the scenes or because Uesugi Masatora himself had extremely high political wisdom.

Kotahira was also looking forward to whether Uesugi Masatora would go to Kyoto via Hokuriku Road or Tokaido. The butts of the Yangbei generals in his backyard had not been cleaned up yet, but now the momentum of Kyoto had been built.

Entering Kyoto, the atmosphere became even more heated. It turned out that Uesugi Masatora went to Kyoto without stopping and asked the shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru (Yoshito changed his name) to issue an imperial edict to completely clarify the position of Kanto Kanrei (actually Kamakura steward), and then granted him the guardianship of the eight states of Kanto, completely subduing the local people so that he could select samurai to go to Kyoto. In addition, due to his great contribution to stabilizing the eastern country, Uesugi Masatora was given the general's name Hui, and changed his name to Uesugi Terutora.

On the other hand, Uesugi Terutora offered money to the court and was promoted to the rank of Junior Fourth Rank Lower Dansho Dabi, and agreed that if he went to Kyoto, he would be promoted to the rank of Third Rank Dansho Yin Hyobu-kyo, which seemed to be a happy scene.

When Kobayata arrived at the Yamauchi residence, he learned that two days ago, Yamauchi Yoshikatsu was promoted to the rank of Junior Fifth Rank Samatou, and went home happily to marry his wife.

Oh, man! He doesn't even know what his wife looks like, but he is so happy about her, after all, it's a pattern!

When Kobayata thought about it, he could move his position as Dansho, and he happened to have money and connections. He could also make connections and inquire about the recent wind direction in Kyoto.

After resting for a night at the Yamauchi residence, Kobayata changed into the Nishijin woven fabric (which appeared in history in advance) made in Kyoto, which was straight and gorgeous, and it was very suitable for his status as a famous samurai. Aki led the horse in front and leisurely went to his cheap uncle's house.

In the past two years, the Yamauchi clan has become more and more prosperous, and the Zixiaolu clan, which has risen with the east wind, has also become more and more prosperous. The uncle and nephew of Koyata came to Kyoto to visit this cheap family, which made them a lot of money. The gate that was originally prone to collapse was replaced with a new lacquer door.

This time, Koyata came to Zixiaolu's house and saw that they were getting better and better. Aji went up to knock on the door, and the old servant opened the door, but his face was obviously rounder, and it seemed that he had eaten well recently.

When the old servant saw that it was Koyata, he immediately looked flattering, saying that you are here, and nodded and bowed to welcome Koyata in. There was a burst of laughter in the courtyard.

"Are there guests today?"

"Yes, the owner invited a few friends to the house, and the lotus in the pond is in full bloom."

"Oh~, did I disturb you?"

"No, no, you are going back to your own home, how can you say it's disturbing." The old servant quickly asked a maid to run to report the news that Koyata had arrived.

When Koyata arrived at the pavilion, his uncle stood up to greet him without caring about other people's eyes, and his grandfather nodded to him repeatedly.

Koyata saw that his uncle Tsunayoshi was getting happier and happier. The maid was obviously newly bought, and the house had been renovated. The gauze robe on his body fluttered lightly in the wind, which was obviously made of good material.

Koyata greeted the two elders, and then took the initiative to introduce himself as the general of Shinano Yamanouchi clan, the iron cannon magistrate, the 5,125-kan mon name master of Hachioji, Musashi Tama County, and the family of Tansho Shonada Tsuna of Zikoji.

The several nobles present all smiled in a way that you couldn't tell what they were thinking. They were the heads of Karahashi, Manri Koji, and Anyangji family. Anyway, they were all salted fish, so Koyata just laughed and dealt with them.

Their tea party was almost over, and they sat for a while before getting up and saying goodbye. On the surface, Kobayata remained calm, but secretly asked Akichi to give 20 taels of gold to each noble's family to establish a good relationship. Anyway, for Kobayata, who earns less than 2,000 kanmon a year, it is just a drizzle.

After everyone left, Uncle Tsunayoshi asked Kobayata what he came for. Kobayata first asked about the situation in Kyoto. As a result, he heard two extremely good news. Last year, the Kawachi Hatakeyama clan raised three armies to attack the Miyoshi clan, and as a result, Awa Miyoshi Yoshitaka died in the battle of Kumeda. The son of Hosokawa Masayuki, the guardian of Awa Province, Hosokawa Mototaka, and the son of Miyoshi Yoshitaka, Miyoshi Nagaharu, were both young, and Awa was already in turmoil.

On the other hand, Sogo Ikkawa, the younger brother of Miyoshi Nagayoshi, the adopted son of Sogo Noriharu of Sanuki, fell off his horse and hit his head, and he also died. The guardians of Sanuki, the Kanishi clan, and the guardians of the Kagawa clan, rose up at once, marched through Settsu and Harima, entered Tamba, and overthrew the guardian of Tamba, Naito Munekatsu (the younger brother of Matsunaga Hisahide, Matsunaga Tsuneyori). The Awa Sanuki and Tamba Three Kingdoms of the Miyoshi clan were unstable and could not threaten Kyoto for a while.

Moreover, the Miyoshi and Hatakeyama fought each other and both suffered losses. The important retainer of the Hatakeyama clan, the Kii Yugawa clan, was also severely damaged, and the disputes in Kyoto were all settled down at once. Now there is news that Uesugi Terutora is preparing to go to Kyoto with a strong army, and the dawn of peace in the world seems to have appeared.

Kobayata learned that the story of Uesugi Terutora began to spread in Kyoto almost at the same time as the Kanto truce. What a good move. Kobayata applauded him in his heart, clapping, clapping, clapping, I underestimated you.

Then he asked Aji to take out 40 taels of gold and specifically asked for the appointment of Ren Danzheng Dachu. The extra amount would be considered as activity funds for the two of you.

The two of them looked like it was completely okay and you could rest assured that I would do the job. I guarantee that the process will be completed in one or two days.

Kobayata actually had some ideas. He asked the two cheap elders in Kyoto to write news about Kyoto every month. No matter how big or small, they would send someone to Yamanouchi every month. If there was a major event that shook the world, someone would be sent back immediately. However, it seemed that his identity was not needed yet. He would think about it after he could guard one side.

He said goodbye like this, and the two of them were very enthusiastic and sent him to the door. Kobayata asked them not to send him off, and the old servant also led the horse out of the corner gate and handed it to Aji. Kobayata looked and thought, oh, you even brushed his fur, what a thoughtful service.

Just as Xiao Pingtai was about to mount his horse, someone suddenly shouted from the next street corner: "Don't run, I'll break your legs if you run again!"

Then a figure who didn't notice Xiao Pingtai at the door because he turned his head to look back, bumped into Xiao Pingtai, and the point was that this person was taller than Xiao Pingtai and almost knocked Xiao Pingtai over.

"You little brat, I told you to run." The person who chased out saw that the runner had been intercepted by someone, and hurried over to catch him.

The five updates today are over, and there will be five more updates tomorrow.
