Are you going back? "
After coming out of Sengen Taisha Shrine, Ginkgo, who was already a little sleepy, urged her to return.
"Okuniya hasn't gone yet." Imagawa Yoshimoto shook his head.
"Where is it?" Ginkgo yawned widely and gently rubbed her eyes with her hands.
"On the mountain." Imagawa Yoshimoto turned around and raised his hand to point to the northeast - the direction of the top of Mount Fuji.
"Huh?" Ginkgo glanced at the altitude of Mount Fuji and immediately retreated, "I refuse."
"Let's go, it's quick. If you don't be lazy, Ginkgo, you can climb up before dark." Imagawa Yoshimoto reluctantly took Ginkgo's hand, "When you come to Senma Taisha Shrine, don't go see the Oku Palace, isn’t it true that you buy a casket for a pearl? Besides, don’t you love mountain roads the most? This gives you a chance to ridicule me.”
"There's really nothing I can do..." Ginkgo couldn't resist Imagawa Yoshimoto, so she let out a long sigh and reluctantly walked towards the hiking trail at Murayama Pass.
·
Of course, it’s impossible to prevent Ginkgo from being lazy.
"I'm exhausted. Let's take a rest, sir."
"It's not even lunch yet, so let's rest during lunch."
"I'm so tired, so hot, I can't crawl anymore."
"Didn't you take a break during lunch just now?"
"I'm so sleepy. I feel sleepy after eating rice balls. Now I can't open my eyes."
"Okay, go to sleep if you feel sleepy."
Just like that, shortly after noon, Ginkgo took a nap under the big tree on the mountain road, and Imagawa Yoshimoto and others had to wait by the side with a wry smile. Just walking and stopping like this, I didn’t know how many times I rested, but finally I couldn’t climb to the top of the mountain before sunset.
Therefore, on August 3, the twelfth year of Tenmon (1543), the group had to spend the night at a hotel at the foot of Murayama Pass - this was specially prepared by Okumiya of Mount Fuji Sengen Taisha Shrine for mountaineers.
"how to say……"
However, after entering the hotel, Imagawa Yoshimoto was very dissatisfied with the environment. In front of the serving miko, Imagawa Yoshimoto did not express his disgust, but as soon as the miko left, Imagawa Yoshimoto began to complain:
"This environment is worse than the dungeon in Kawadate."
The walls were seeping with water, the tatami was extremely dirty, the table and corners were covered in dust, and the tea set hadn't been cleaned for an unknown amount of time... The only thing that was visible was the cloth mattress, which seemed to be newly replaced.
"Are you showing off your carefully organized dungeon again? I haven't heard you mention the dungeon for two days. Why don't you just live in it?" Ginkgo on the side was not picky and had already spread out a blanket. , lying on it and getting ready to sleep, "I'm so sleepy..."
Yes, the dungeon of Imagawakan is indeed the proud work of Imagawa Yoshimoto, and it is also one of his few political experiences in the past few years. Because he couldn't stand the dirty and messy environment in the dungeon, he demolished and rebuilt the entire dungeon. Under the guidance of his extreme mysophobia, he built a hotel with hygienic standards.
"There's really no other way..." But there was no other place to go halfway up the mountain, so Imagawa Yoshimoto had no choice but to make do. He hugged the quilt and found a clean place to spread it.
"It's strange. I obviously manage the palace with such meticulous care at the bottom of the mountain, but why is the Okumiya on the mountain so perfunctory and negligent?" Imagawa Yoshimoto was puzzled and unintentionally twisted his body, only to find that there was still a piece of cloth under the ball. piece of paper. He took it out and looked at it, and found a list of supplies. The person who sent out the supplies was Bengong at the foot of the mountain, and the person who signed for it was Omiya on the mountain. It read: 10 pieces of cloth.
Ha...it turns out that this only decent cloth ball was sent by me from above and below?

On August 4, the twelfth year of Tenmon (1543), after an arduous trek on the mountain road, the group finally arrived at Okumiya on the top of Mount Fuji. What caught their eyes was the huge stone torii gate. I don’t know whether it is to make the torii appear more dated, or for some other reason. This stone torii looks like it has been in disrepair for a long time. The cracks on it are clearly visible, as if a strong wind can blow it down.
After Imagawa Yoshimoto and others entered the shrine of Okumiya, they realized that this was indeed due to other reasons——
The palace administrators of the Aogong Palace did not take good care of it at all. The facilities throughout the Aogong Palace were very old and worn out. Paint peeling, defects, and decay could be seen everywhere, but they had not been replaced. If you don’t even care about the shrine, who will care about the torii gate?
But Imagawa Yoshimoto and others had already been in for a long time before they saw a miko coming up to entertain them. The level of neglect was evident.
"Is the chief minister of Okumiya here?" Before Imagawa Yoshimoto could speak, Furunoji Yutaka took the initiative to ask the miko.
"The palace minister is still resting. Please wait, guests." The miko bowed apologetically.
"Rest?" Imagawa Yoshimoto raised his head and glanced at the sky. It was clearly just after noon.
"Napping." The witch became even more embarrassed, but she still answered bravely: "Don't blame the guests. It's not good for a little girl to call the palace minister. The palace minister has given instructions not to disturb the nap during the nap, otherwise you will inevitably get beaten and scolded."
"The palace minister here is..." Naguya Shifeng frowned and asked thoughtfully.
At this moment, the miko realized that something was wrong. The reaction of the guest in front of her seemed to have a lot of background, so she quickly winked at another miko in the distance and asked her to go back to the shrine and ask the palace minister to get up. She answered awkwardly. Said: "He is the son of Fushengbu... Lord Xinyi..."
"Sir, do you have any prejudice against taking a nap?" Ginkgo on the side didn't know whether he wanted to ease the awkward atmosphere, or he was really dissatisfied with Imagawa Yoshimoto's prejudice against taking a nap, and said with a smile: "It's so hot God, if you don’t take a nap, it’s unforgivable.”
"Huh, if I can't criticize Sophora japonica, why can't I criticize Sophora mulberry?" Imagawa Yoshimoto also laughed when he heard this, "Then let's take out the resentment against you for sleeping in on others."
After actually waiting for a long time, I saw Fuji Nobuyoshi, the Okumiya Priest, slowly coming out from behind the shrine accompanied by two shrine maidens. He was dressed casually, wearing a light mandarin jacket, and even his hair was tied up casually, without the slightest look of a palace official.
"Asama Taisha Shrine Okumiya is the sacred site of Fuji Sengen Taisha Shrine, and it is the headquarters of Sengen Shrine in the world. How can you be so negligent?" When Furunoji Yutaka looked at the performance of Fuji Xinyi in front of him, there was already a hint of anger in his eyebrows. He is responsible for the household expenses, but he specializes in checking the inappropriate behavior of retainers. "Is this how the rich soldiers educate their children?"
"Fifth brother, please be patient. We are visiting privately incognito. It is normal for others not to know our identities." Imagawa Yoshimoto shook his head.
"Even if you are treating an ordinary visitor, the palace minister should go all out to treat it seriously. Isn't that what Mr. Fuji Shintsu did to the palace yesterday?" The tone of Furuno Ujiyoshi still didn't mean to give up, "Brothers People are in heaven and on earth."
"Don't get into trouble later." Imagawa Yoshimoto turned around and glanced at Furunoji Yutaka.
"I know, it's up to you." Then Furunoji Yutaka took a deep breath and curled his lips reluctantly.
·
Fuji Nobuyoshi had no intention of entertaining him well, and Imagawa Yoshimoto naturally did not intend to stay for a long time. After a few simple greetings, he left with everyone in resentment, went down the mountain and left Okumiya. However, on the way down the mountain, he met Fuji Nobutada who was hurrying up the mountain. He was also wearing the heavy attire of a palace official. He was holding the corners of his clothes with both hands and walking quickly, followed by his entourage.
"Rich Soldier Department?" Imagawa Yoshimoto asked in surprise.
"Your Highness." Fuji Nobutada hurriedly saluted after seeing Imagawa Yoshimoto, and then bowed again and said, "I must have thought that Inuko's hospitality was not good enough, right? Please atone for your sins! I am willing to be punished for Inuko!"
"Let's not talk about that for now... It's just the Rich Soldiers Department. How did you know that I would come here? This trip should be a secret visit..." Imagawa Yoshimoto asked with some embarrassment and curiosity.
"Ah, Your Highness, I'm notifying you!" Upon seeing this, Hayasaka Nao hurriedly came out and explained: "Since His Highness was assassinated in Yuanjiang not long ago, Master Yuzhai ordered me to pay close attention to His Highness's whereabouts and surrounding guards, and all travel arrangements must be made in advance. I communicated with the local lord, so I informed the Ministry of War."
"Oh...that's it." Imagawa Yoshimoto smiled sheepishly, but he didn't expect that the "incognito private visit" he imagined did not exist - the captain of the guard beside him had already greeted the local officials. Then, he turned to Fuji Nobutada: "Where did the rich soldiers come from?"
"Of course I'm in Fujinomiya Castle. After all, it's located east of the river. How dare you neglect defense? So after Futoko Yuan's service, I've entrusted them with the affairs of the palace ministers of Asama Taisha Shrine, and I concentrate on my family affairs." Fuji Nobutada. Naturally, he handed over his hand, and then apologized to Imagawa Yoshimoto again: "The eldest son, Nobutichi, is reassuring, but the second son, Nobuyoshi, has been naughty since he was a child. He must have not been well-dressed. It is really his fault that he did not teach his son properly!"
"The words of the Ministry of War are serious. Although your son Xinyi is a little lax, he is still much better than me who is lazy and lazy in politics. Moreover, your son Xintong is loyal and conscientious in his duties. He will definitely be able to revitalize the family in the future. The army does not need to worry." Imagawa Yoshimoto smiled and explained to Fuji Nobutada - after all, he had been lazy and idle for several years and he was too embarrassed to accuse others of neglecting their duties.
"Here's the troublesome part." Fuji Nobutada looked embarrassed when he heard this, and then shook his head and said: "Although Nobutong is the eldest son, he is the eldest son. Although Xinyi is the second son, he is the second son. . According to the laws of the Imagawa family, the legitimate son should inherit the family governor. Although the palms and backs of my father’s hands are full of flesh, I have to be fair: these two brothers are completely different from each other——"
"Xintong has been diligent and polite since he was a child, but Xinyi is arrogant, domineering, and not doing his job properly. Many retainers in the family are dissatisfied with him and worry that he will bring disaster to the family after inheriting the family governor. Now it seems that this is indeed the case... Your Highness You must have seen it, right? I handed over the management of the main palace and Okumiya of Sengen Taisha Shrine to the two of them respectively: Nobuyoshi was devoted to the public at all times, and ran the main palace in an orderly and prosperous way. But Shingi neglected his duties, and Okunomiya The palace is declining day by day, and many priests even asked me to remove him from the position of palace minister... and even replace the young master of the family. But after all, deposing a direct descendant and establishing a concubine is a violation of the law, and I am afraid that the master's family will be punished... Household affairs have disturbed His Highness, it is really Feel sorry."
After saying this long and somewhat transgressive statement, Fuji Nobutada looked tentatively at Imagawa Yoshimoto, ready to lean over and apologize if the latter showed displeasure. But Imagawa Yoshimoto laughed:
"Is there any reason why one must succeed to the throne just because he is the legitimate son?"
