"I met His Majesty the Emperor at Shimo-Enryakuji (Yamamoto and Rokuro)." Monk Honjong and Yamamoto saluted the emperor very respectfully, knowing that although the emperor has long since become a kind of mascot-like existence, some orthodox samurai, middle and lower class samurai and ordinary people still respect the emperor very much.

"Okay, okay, are you the retainers of the Koji family?" After seeing the two of them, the emperor said excitedly.

"In the next is the retainer of the Kuroda family, the head of the Koji family, the Kuroda family instead of the main family Koji family this time to Luo, specially to the emperor and the imperial court to present 20 gold small judgments, 300 silver small judgments, Yongle money 200 yuan, grain 500 stones, for the daily use of the imperial court." The general monk said respectfully.

"Okay, the Kotera family and the Kuroda family are doing a good job, and they are both great loyal ministers! I decided to seal the ......" When the emperor heard this series of figures, his eyebrows fluttered, and he couldn't control his emotions at all, and he was ready to reward official positions on the spot, and in addition to official positions, it is estimated that His Majesty the Emperor can only reward calligraphy and paintings.

"Your Majesty, please deliberate before making a decision." Konoe saw that the Emperor of Shokin-cho was about to give a reward on the spot, and immediately opened his mouth to stop it. Of course, he didn't do it to spoil the Kuroda family's good deeds, he accepted the Kuroda family's donation, so he wanted to fight for the Kuroda family's greatest interests, he was a righteous person, otherwise he wouldn't have become the most nourishing minister in Kyoto, or he wouldn't have become Sekihaku.

After being reminded by Konoe for a long time, the emperor also knew that he was too eager, so he immediately sat down and said: "The Kotera family and the Kuroda family are loyal ministers of the world and are loyal ministers of the world, but the matter of the reward, the widow still needs to have a careful discussion with the Zhongqing family, and later the emperor will issue a decree to give a reward, and the two of them will turn around first and wait for the news." ”

Seeing that Konoe nodded for a long time, the total monk knew that there was no problem with this matter, so he took Yamamoto and Rokuro to retire.

"Master Quanzong, why did Konoe prevent His Majesty the Emperor from rewarding him with an official position on the spot?"

"First, the money needs to be distributed among the ministers, and they need time to deliberate; Second, Konoe Maehisa will fight for the rights of his family, and the rewards announced on the spot may not be suitable for his family. Okay, the court is over, and now it's time to meet the general. ”

"Master, ah, master, wait for me." When Yamamoto and Rokuro were still reminiscing about the meaning of the whole sect's words, the monks of the whole sect had already gone far away.

The next day, the two came to the Nijo Imperial Palace with gifts and met with the shogun, Ashikaga Yoshiteru.

"At Shimo-Enryakuji Temple, I met the Grand Shogun Seiyi."

"I heard that you are here to give money and food?" Ashikaga Yoshiteru sat at the top, his eyes were sharp, his face was resolute, and he was worthy of being a sword general.

"Exactly, the Kuroda family offered twenty gold sentences, three hundred silver sentences, five famous knives, ten abdominal scrolls, and five hundred stones of grain." The whole sect monk said respectfully.

"Oh! You guys are so generous! Go ahead! What is the purpose of the Kuroda family? "Ashikaga Yoshiki is more direct, he knows the truth that nothing is not to go to the Three Treasures Hall, the Kuroda family not only pays tribute in the name of the Kotera family, but also gives so much money, it must be something to ask for.

"The general already knows, so I have the courage to say it, and I hope that the general will grant the head of the family, the governor of the Koji clan, the position of guardian of the country of Harima." The whole monk looked at Ashikaga Yoshiki and said.

"Is that so? The position of guardian of Harima Country is in the hands of the Niko family! This request is indeed a bit difficult to do," Ashikaga Yoshiki said with a sad face, after all, the Izumo family would occasionally reward their own general with some money.

"The Kuroda family promises that as long as the adults are still the general of the expedition, the Kuroda family will give 300 silver judgments every year." Seeing that Ashikaga Yoshiteru had already moved, the monk immediately increased his chips, and then waited for the general to decide.

"Three hundred silver a year!" Ashikaga Yoshiteru had already agreed in his heart. is currently controlled by the Miyoshi family, and it is flying and domineering, and he must strengthen the power of the shogun's family, and the annual judgment of three hundred silver is enough for himself to raise a dozen more fifty and dozens of ashigaru. As long as you are strong, you can get some land, and then you still have to look at the faces of the samurai in these places.

At this time, Hosokawa Fujitaka, who was sitting on the side, said: "If the Kuroda family can add some equipment and weapons, I think the military lord will hand over the position of Harima Country Guardian to the Kodera family even if he offends the Niko family." ”

Anyway, it hasn't reached the bottom line of the family, and you can hand over the general's family with a few items, how can it be earned, the monk of the whole sect immediately said: "What this lord said is reasonable, it is the negligence of the family, and the family will offer fifty pairs of bamboo armor, three hundred spears, and twenty katanas, I don't know what the general thinks." ”

Hearing that the Kuroda family was still willing to increase the chips, Ashikaga Yoshiteru nodded to Hosokawa Fujitaka, meaning that you did it, which makes me feel very satisfied.

"In this case, I feel the loyalty of the Kodera family and the Kuroda family, so I appointed the Kodera clan as the guardian of Harima Province, and the Kuroda family as the guardian of Nishi-Harima Province, what does the master think?"

"Lord Shogun, the Kotera family and the Kuroda family are grateful, and they will continue to serve the shogun's family in the future."

"Okay, you guys get out of the way!" Ashikaga Yoshiteru waved his hand, signaling that the two could go.

"Yes, Lord Shogun" Jeonmune and Yamamoto Yorokuro thanked each other and left.

After the two left, Ashikaga Yoshiteru shouted to Hosokawa Fujitaka.

"Hey!"

"I will work for this general in the future."

"Death for the general." Hosokawa Fujitaka responded loudly.

At this time, a young man sitting at the end had a strange light in his eyes.

Monk Zenzong and Yamamoto and Rokuro stayed in Kyoto's Sanzenin Temple for three days, and during these three days, the two of them visited almost all the ministers in Kyoto, and more or less gave some money, so that all the ministers were satisfied.

On the second day of the three days, two young men came to Sanzen-in Temple and specially sent a name post to meet the people of the Kuroda family.

No one has come to visit the Kuroda family yet, so for the sake of paying attention, the monks of the whole sect, Yamamoto Yorokuro, Sasaki Nagahide and Nagaya Takasa are divided into two sides, the people who come are two tall young people, they are brothers, the elder brother Mibu Kyojiro is twenty-five years old, and the younger brother Mibu Kyoshiro is sixteen years old, the two are the same height, and their appearance is seven or eight percent similar, and they all look like they are very good, but the elder brother is more mature, and the mature is not like a person in his twenties, giving people the feeling that he is an older elder, And the younger brother has a hint of immaturity and jerkyness.

"In Shimomibu Kyojiro (壬bu Kyoshiro), I have seen all of you" The two of them bowed to the four of them first.
