Kyoto, Kujo Motori Residence.
In the early morning of the next day, Kujoujitong personally delivered the invitations to the ministers. Since there was really no money at home, the money and food could only be used by the Kujo family members, so the Kujo family did not have maids with nicknames.
As one of the Five Photographic Families, the Kujo family was poor, but it still had a good reputation among the ministers.
With Kujo Jitong coming forward, things would be much easier to handle. As soon as a group of ministers heard that the high-ranking dignitaries from Beijing were inviting them to a banquet, they immediately agreed, and then quickly called their family members to get ready. There were not many opportunities for the whole family to have a full meal. See.
Other ministers, such as Sanjo Nishigongjo and Shang Xian who persuaded the temple to be built, were quite resistant at first.
Because they borrowed money from Kyogoku Takamasa last time, they were worried that Kyogoku Takamasa was here to ask for money, so none of them wanted to go. But when they heard that Kyogoku Gaomasa came to Luo this time to propose marriage to his son, everyone began to get excited again.
I have a lot of daughters, what if I can sell them at a good price this time? If you can find a good husband's family this time, it will be a very good thing! Although the Kyogoku family is now in decline, it has recently been favored by the new leader, Hosokawa Harumoto, and it will only be a matter of time before it becomes prosperous again.
If you can marry your daughter to the Kyogoku family at this time, you can receive a wave of gifts and establish an in-law relationship with the Kyogoku family. When the Kyogoku family becomes prosperous in the future, you will also benefit from it.
To take a step back, even if the Kyogoku family cannot turn around, he has only lost a daughter.
Am I, the Duke of Kyoto, in need of a daughter?
no!
Soon, a group of ministers came hand in hand and gathered at Jiutiao Guitong Residence. And because some of the ministers brought too many family members, the courtyard of Jiutiao Jitong Residence was already full of people.
As a last resort, Kujo Onomichi came forward to borrow the mansion from his next door neighbor, Right Minister Sanjo Mika.
Sanjou Mika naturally agreed.
Soon, the families of the ministers were placed alone in the Sanjo Mika residence, while the other ministers were already sitting around the courtyard, waiting for the meal.
"I am greatly honored to have all of you gathered here today!" After the banquet started, Kyogoku Takahiro, as the inviter, stood up without hesitation, "I have all of you gathered here today mainly because I have something to ask for!"
"It has been a year since Inuko Sakyou entered the Yuan Dynasty. He also fought with Hosokawa Guanlingdian in Xia Shangluo last time. He also captured Hosokawa Takakuni during the battle and was praised by Guanlingdian!"
"Today I want to ask you to marry a princess to my family, but I don't know if there is a princess of the right age in your family who is willing to marry me?"
Kyogoku Takahiro first praised how outstanding his son was, and then proposed a marriage proposal. If any of the ministers sitting below were interested, they would naturally take the initiative.
Sure enough, as soon as Jingji Gaoguang finished speaking, some people couldn't sit still.
"Although I live in Kyoto, I have heard the name of Kyogoku Sakyo Shinyakshasaburo. Such a samurai must be a good husband for my daughter! If Musashi keeps the palace and does not give up, I am willing to marry my daughter into the Kyogoku family!" Nakayama Takahiro, the head of the Nakayama family! He spoke first.
Nakayama Takauchi is currently serving as Lieutenant General Sakonoe, and he can only be said to be average among the ministers of Kyoto. Moreover, the family status of the Zhongshan family is the "Habayashi family", ranking below the Sheguan family, the Qinghua family and the Minister family, and can only be regarded as average.
For example, if compared according to the title of Duke Bozinan, the Zhongshan family can only be regarded as "viscount". In Kyoto, a place where ministers are everywhere and there are as many samurai as dogs, the Nakayama family is somewhat inconspicuous.
Someone quit before Nakayama Takaharu sat down, "Lieutenant General Sakonoe will take the initiative, but Lieutenant General Sakonoe's daughter has just turned one year old, and we just went to have New Year's wine last month! Shogang It seems a little inappropriate for a one-year-old daughter to marry Sakyo Jin, right?"
"I have another adopted daughter"
"It's ridiculous!" Before Zhongshan Xiaoqian could finish his words, the minister who had just spoken interrupted him, "The Kyogoku family is the leader of the samurai family and the backbone of the shogunate. All the princes here are here when the ancestors of the Kyogoku family were serving as ministers in the palace. Receive its favor!”
"Today Musashi Mamoru came to propose marriage. Do you want to marry your adopted daughter to Sakyo Jin?"
At this time, Zhongshan Xiaoqin was a little bit embarrassed. The other party was just saying what he said, so it would be a bit shameless for him to force it. As for speaking out to refute and fight with each other, Zhongshan Xiaoqin didn't dare, because the other party was the head of a family and a house owner.
At this time, Ichibo Fangdong was just twenty-two years old and had already held three important positions. Moreover, the father of Ichibo Fangdong was his predecessor Guanbai, and he had a high prestige. (Ichibo Fudichi is the son-in-law and adopted son of Toli Ichibo. According to the original seniority, Toli Ichibo is the grandfather of Ichibo Fudo and the brother of Ichibo Fudo.)
In fact, Ichibo Bomichi took up the post of Lieutenant General Sakonoe at the age of nine. Speaking of which, Lieutenant General Sakonoe currently served by Takauchi Nakayama is just a leftover from Ichibo Bomichi's play.
"My lord, although I don't have a daughter of the right age, I would like to recommend the daughter of Imanodegawa Gonada Natsu! It is said that this girl is very smart, and her reputation is widely spread in Kyoto! And her age is also suitable for Sakyo Shin, so she is undoubtedly a good match. !”
"I just don't know if Gondai Nagonden has this intention as well." As he said that, Ichijo Bomichi turned his attention to Imadegawa Kimihiko opposite.
Imadegawa Kimihiko had a smile on his face, but in his heart he was thinking mmp! I only have this precious daughter, and I am still waiting for the day when I can arrange to give it to Emperor Go-Nara! Emperor Go-Nara still has no queen (empress), and his wife, Eiko Banri Kojiji, died before Emperor Go-Nara ascended the throne.
It has been six years since Emperor Go-Nara ascended the throne, but he has not yet established a queen. The ministers in Kyoto who have daughters are keeping an eye on him! How could Imadegawa Kimihiko be willing to marry his daughter to the Kyogoku family!
"I really want to get married to the Kyogoku family, but my daughter already has another engagement arrangement, which is quite a pity!"
The Jinchuan family belongs to the Tsinghua family, and their family status is second only to the Sheguan family. Kyogoku Takahiro has never thought about trying to capture big names like the Guan family and the Tsinghua family. At most, his target is only the Minister's family and the Habayashi family.
Originally, Kyogoku Takahiro was a little excited when Nakayama Takauchi spoke, but when he heard that Nakayama Takauchi's daughter had just turned one year old, he had no choice but to forget it. As for adopted daughters, they are all just deceiving those country bumpkin names in Kanto and Kyushu. Just marry a maid and say she is an adopted daughter. Only the devil will be fooled!
The water here is deep!
By the way, in fact, many ministers make money by marrying their daughters to wealthy people in Kanto, Kyushu and other places.
For those rural lords and people in the country, it is naturally a great honor to marry the daughter of a noble minister, so they often will not refuse such a marriage, and they are willing to give it even if the gift is large.
After all, among a group of country bumpkins, it would be extremely shameful to say that his wife was the daughter of a Kyoto official.
For example, Sanada Masayuki, his wife said to others that she was the adopted daughter of Kikuttei Haruyuki, but in fact she was just a maid of the Kikuttei family. At that time, Takeda Nobutora's daughter Kikuyomito married Kikuttei Haruyuki as his wife. Based on this relationship, the Takeda family and the Kikuttei family had a very close relationship.
Later, Sanada Masayuki spent a lot of money to marry a daughter of the Kikuttei family, but he was tricked by Kikuttei Haruki, who randomly married a maid and said she was an adopted daughter. Here, Sanada Masayuki is smiling because he married the daughter of a minister, and over there, Kikutei Haruki is happy because a maid sold for a high price.
Zhou Yu hits Huang Gai, and everyone is willing to hit and others are willing to suffer!
"Can you all listen to what I have to say?"
At this moment, a young minister sitting next to Ichibo Fangdong stood up.
