Looking at the empty wooden bowl in front of him, and then at the unfinished mountain whale meat in front of the minister next door, Ichifangdong couldn't help but lick his lips.
Kyogoku Takamasa suppressed his laughter, and then said loudly: "If Lieutenant General Sakonoe is not able to enjoy the blessing, I will order someone to send another one."
"Naizousuke, go bring another bowl of meat to Lieutenant General Sakonoe!"
On the side, Hatayama Chao Xin quickly wiped his saliva and nodded.
"Wait a minute! Bring me another bowl of meat!"
"No! Two bowls!" Hanazhanin Zhongsuke shouted while chewing the cuttlefish in his hand.
As a well-known poor man among the Kyoto ministers, Hanazhanin Tadatsuki thought that he was too poor to afford food as early as more than ten years ago in the 17th year of Eisho (1520 AD), so he skipped work and ran to Wakasa to find Takeda Momitsu. Relief.
Later, it was thought that the imperial court was going to promote him to the rank of Ukonoe General, so Kazanin Tadatsuki reluctantly returned to Kyoto.
But soon, Hanazhanin Tadashi went bankrupt again. This time he was too embarrassed to go to Wakasa again. After all, you can't just focus on one sheep.
So Hanazhanin Zhongsuke ran to Echizen this time to find Asakura Takakage.
Two years of fighting in the Asakura family gave Hanashanyin Tadashi a taste of the benefits.
Nima himself was too poor to afford food in Kyoto, so he ate one meal at a time. But when he arrived at the local level, he was worshiped as an ancestor by the local lords.
At this moment, Hanazhanin Zhongsuke seemed to have opened the door to a new world, so he resigned directly and visited local daimyo everywhere.
Not only can he enjoy good food and drink in the local area, but he can also sometimes help the public to obtain official positions and earn some extra money. He leads a very comfortable life, and there are even faint signs of getting rich.
When he came to Omi this time, Hanayamain Tasuke planned to stay here because Kyogoku Takahiro, the head of the Kyogoku family, had a good impression of the Kyoto ministers. This was no secret in Kyoto.
Moreover, the Kyogoku family has developed well in the past two years, and recently it has embraced the Hosokawa family. It can be said that the future is bright, and naturally it will not be a hardship for itself. Moreover, Omi has beautiful scenery and is close to Kyoto. It is really a good place to spend the rest of your life, so Kazanin Tadatsuki has already planned to settle in Omi.
Today's meal, Hanashanyuan Zhongsuke really enjoyed it.
This meal can be said to be the best meal that Hanazhanin Tadatsuki has eaten in the past ten years, and I heard that Kyogoku Takamasa meant that he could eat whatever he wanted. Is that enough? !
Then why should I be so polite?
Soon, with Ichijo Fangdong and Hanashanyuan Tadashi taking the lead, the ministers in the palace also followed suit and made requests for additional meals.
Some wanted seafood, some wanted whale meat, and two drunkards even asked for several jars of wine.
Regarding the requests of the ministers, the high-ranking officials in Beijing did not reject them.
In fact, Kyogoku Takahiro was not so generous. The reason he did this was to make Kyogoku Takahiro feel heartbroken.
Even in the next few days, Kyogoku Gaomasa will prepare to entertain these ministers according to today's standards.
If this continues, the expenses will inevitably increase, and all the money will go to Kyogoku Takahiro's private treasury. The money in Kyogoku's warehouse is controlled by Kyogoku Takamasa.
Let Kyogoku Takahiro know that it hurts, and he will not invite these ministers to Omi again in the future.
After all, the Kyogoku family will have to spend money once if they come here, so it is better to do it all at once and let Kyogoku Gaohiro have a longer memory!
.......
The ministers were still eating and drinking, but Kyogoku Takamasa couldn't wait any longer, so he sent someone to call Kyogoku Hidetsuna to accompany him, and then ran to the training ground outside the city.
Kyogoku Takamasa didn't have the time to waste time with a group of ministers. All his thoughts were on the cavalry team.
As soon as he entered the training ground, Kyogoku Takamasa noticed that many people had gathered on the training ground. They were surrounding the pasture and staring intently at a man running a horse in the middle of the pasture.
In the middle of the pasture, I saw a tall warrior in black uniforms skillfully controlling the horse on his hip, with a lance in his hand dancing on the horse in an airtight manner.
sprint.
Riding suddenly.
Mounted shooting.
All kinds of horse fighting skills are at your fingertips, and the crowd is stunned for a while.
In particular, a group of warriors on horseback at the edge of the pasture almost knelt on the ground and worshiped.
The Kyogoku family's horse riding team has been training for several months during this period. Even though they have worked very hard, they have only scratched the surface.
If anyone in the Kyogoku family knows best how difficult it is to fight on horseback, then this group of mounted warriors has something to say.
It was precisely because they knew the difficulty that these horse-riding warriors knew how exquisite the warrior's equestrian skills and graceful posture were on the pasture.
Kasahara Kiyotsuna opened his mouth wide and looked at Baba Nobharu who was galloping on his horse. He stared at Tsunachika Kaiboku next to him with his mouth open, "Where can I find such a monster, my lord?"
"I heard from Zuobei that this person was found by Inuhachiro from Kai. He seems to be the leader of the nation in Mino?" Tsunachika Ubita looked at Baba Nobharu with a solemn expression.
Kasahara Kiyotsuna said with a wry smile: "Now it seems that this commander will abdicate in favor of someone more worthy."
"Don't be discouraged, Matasaburo. The lord will definitely entrust you with another important task." Seeing that Kasahara Kiyotsuna was a little discouraged, Tsunayomi Kaiboku on the side quickly explained.
"It's okay, I'm very self-aware!"
"The art of warfare is far inferior to Zen'emon's, and Umasuke, Uhei Sa and the others are even less comparable."
"In the military law, Zuo Bingwei and the others are much better than me."
"The talents in internal affairs, Yanrokuro and the young assistant in the palace, are much better than me."
"With the ability to command troops in turn, Mei Zuoshou is the best in the family."
"Even in terms of eloquence, I am not as good as Master Shunren and Shiro Sahebei (Yamazaki Hiroyie)." When he said this, Kasahara Kiyotsuna's face was full of loneliness.
"But I know very well that as long as I am loyal to my lord, my lord will definitely not treat me badly!" Kasahara Kiyotsuna's eyes suddenly became firm.
Uboku Tsuna nodded, then patted Kasahara Kiyosuna on the shoulder, "Don't worry, Matasaburo, you will definitely have your day!"
Nowadays, as Kyogoku Takamasa has more and more power in the family, although the head of the family is still Kyogoku Takahiro, almost all the power in the family is in the hands of Kyogoku Takamasa. Following this, the sidemen who had previously worked for Kyogoku Takamasa were also reused.
People like Akao Kiyosuna, Numata Mitsukazu and others have become the governors of a county. Kyogoku Takasho and Kyogoku Hidemasa have also become the lords of a city. Matsunagahide is now the mayor of Imahama Castle, and Kaiboku Tsunachika is the head of Imhamama Castle. The general of the guard is also responsible for the training of standing ashigaru. The Yamazaki Hiro family works under Kyogoku Hidetsuna, the foreign minister. He has been on many missions to the Hosokawa family. It can be expected that he will definitely take over Kyogoku Hidetsuna's position in the future.
Now the only people in the family who are having a slightly miserable life are Hayashi Masanobu and Hatayama Chonobu.
However, Hatayama was one of the first retainers to serve Kyogoku Gaomasa, whom Nobuka trusted, and Kasahara Kiyotsuna, a half-way monk, was naturally incomparable.
Suddenly, Kasahara Kiyotsuna began to worry about his future......
