A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Seeing Aji's unseen look on the world, Xiao Pingtai felt that it was necessary for him to continue to open his eyes, lest he wander around Kyoto every day and not know if he was deceived or sold.

But for the time being, Xiao Pingtai still wanted to discuss the matter of buying an official position first, so she took Aji with her, and then asked him to carry two pieces of silk cloth, put some chess pieces and gold on his back, and ride slowly to Zixiaolu Mansion.

Along the way, Aji's little eyes were looking around, pointing and asking questions when he saw something he hadn't seen before. Xiaoping hit him on the head and he kept chattering. The important thing is that he spoke with a wild accent. It quickly became difficult for people to understand, and Xiaoping was very annoyed.

After finally arriving at Zixiaolu Mansion, the house seemed to be a little dilapidated. But it was more of a feeling in my heart. After all, in the dilapidated Kyoto, every building was given an old and dull color.

Asking Aji to go up and call the door, it was the old servant who opened the door. When he saw Aji's short and wild child appearance, he was about to scold him. As a result, when he saw Aji behind him, he looked like a dog, he was well-dressed and elegantly dressed, with a big head on his crotch. His face with the Three-Character Sutra reaching his mouth immediately turned 800 degrees, and he quickly opened the door and welcomed Xiao Pingtai in. His attitude changed so quickly that even if he didn't win an Oscar, he would be sorry for his face.

Under the guidance of the old servant, he first handed the horse to other servants, and then washed his feet with water. Then he took Aji to the hall and entered the mansion.

It was just ten o'clock in the morning, and two adults from Zixiaolu were playing chess on the porch. Going to court? That doesn't exist, think too much. Office duty? What do you expect from Mr. Zhong Nayan and Mr. Major General?

Theoretically, one of these two people is Xiaopingtai's grandfather, and the other is his uncle. However, after hearing the old servant's report and following the direction of the old servant's finger to see Mrs. Xiaoping, they didn't care about playing chess. As soon as the chessboard was touched, two people carrying gauze robes ran over to greet Mrs. Xiaoping.

Xiao Pingtai bowed his head and greeted them, then dragged Aji, who was still looking blindly, into the house. A few people sat down on the corridor in the courtyard, and the old servant brought tea. The weather was already very hot, so they didn't go indoors. They talked outside while there was a bit of wind in the courtyard.

When the two cheap elders saw that Xiao Pingtai looked well-developed, they didn't hold it in their hands and took the initiative to ask Xiao Pingtai how he was doing now. "My good nephew is now in a high position?"

Xiaoheita also said very calmly: "It's just that I was elected to the banner and was appointed as Uchida County Representative. It doesn't mean anything, it doesn't mean anything."

When the two people heard this, they looked as if they were right in letting you come to our house in the first place. Then he talked politely about Kyoto's recent scenery and customs. Xiaoping was satisfied, so he took the initiative to ask for an official position.

"Uncle, although my nephew has little prestige now, he still needs an official position to increase his reputation. I wonder if my uncle would like to petition the Holy Emperor on my behalf to grant him a good position?"

"Of course it is possible, of course it is possible. I would have known that my beloved nephew is so handsome and has a majestic appearance in the world. His appearance is known to everyone and is heard in the world."

Oh my God, Xiaopingtai doesn’t know how to honor himself, but others don’t know it, so he doesn’t know it himself. These two people have tried their best to get some money. They are like old sows wearing bras, and they say one thing after another.

Just because you were so shameless and told lies, you two wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state. If you are still a minister in Kyoto, go to Ichijodani of the Asakura clan, Nakamura of the Ichijo clan, and Sunfu of the Imagawa clan. At least you will have enough food and clothing.

Of course, the mountain pass of the Ouchi clan was unreachable. A few years ago, Yoshitaka Ouchi was attacked and killed by Tao Qingxian, the unparalleled general of the Western Kingdom, at Daning Temple. Yamaguchi Town, once praised by European missionaries as a prosperous population, clean and orderly streets, and a metropolis in the East with a population of more than 50,000, has been burned to the ground.

The two cheap elders praised Xiao Pingtai without blushing and then asked Xiao Pingtai what his goal was. "If you love your nephew, do you really want to belong to someone? The Zixiaolu family is a famous Fujiwara family. Starting from the official position, there are only five people. According to the rules of seniority, one or three people are bound to have one, and even two people are not impossible."

Koheita didn't care, Uncle Tsunayoshi was the sixth captain of Zaemon. It's okay to get a six-digit one yourself, but I don't want to be like Uncle Tsuna. "It doesn't need to be too high, just a six-year-old is enough. As for what position, does my uncle have any recommendations?"

So the two people started to make plans, "For foreign officials, you can choose between Xiaguoshou or Zhongjie (if Sashou, Uenojie). For the capital, you can choose less Shaoshi or Zhuliaoshuyun."

As long as gold and copper coins are given to five people, in theory, they can buy them for the first time they are appointed to official positions. For example, the two future shoguns Ashikaga Yoshie and Ashikaga Yoshiaki, both of them started their official careers as horse heads of five people. The only difference is that one has a left horse head and the other has a right horse head.

Xiao Ping Tai waved his hand, he couldn't use that high position, and the higher the position, the more expensive it would be. There was no need to spend money blindly, "You only need to hold a high-ranking and beautiful position, even if you are a cold Cao Cao in the Bingting Hall." (To clarify, The Qingliu position is a position with high status and no specific practical work. The Bingtang Lengcao is the kind of position that is in charge of teaching and etiquette, and no one cares about it, but the etiquette is the most beautiful, so it is also a beautiful position.)

"Since my beloved nephew has a request, can he be dismissed from his official position? Or a university position? Oriental Palace position?"

"Let's change the official position (the university position happens to be the head of Kitahata University, the immediate boss, and the east palace position happens to be the official post of Hosokawa Saimei, the son of the family's elder, Hosokawa Harugu doctor. Sainayo is responsible for selecting the female officials in the palace to enter the palace, so she belongs to the east palace position), The other two positions are slightly inconvenient.”

Then in the end I decided to play Zheng Shaozhong, Xiaoping knew all the rules. Naturally, I asked them how much money they would need for the activity. “I don’t know how much it will cost? It’s okay to just tell them.”

As soon as the two men made eye contact, Uncle Tsunari said, "Just say twenty guan." When Xiaopingta heard the price, he was so cheap that he rubbed his hands together.

The two people saw Xiao Ping rubbing his hands and thought that Xiao Ping was too expensive. They praised him repeatedly: "It's still negotiable, it's still negotiable." This is a rare opportunity to make some money. If you make less, you will make less. You can't let it go. .

Xiaoping was so embarrassed. He said no, no, no, and then asked Aji to take out two pieces of silk cloth made of fine Koshu silk. The smooth material and brilliant colors made the two of them unable to take their eyes away.

Before Xiao Pingtai could say anything, the two of them said: "Although the silk cloth is expensive, it's still not good enough, but it's okay."

Xiao Pingtai laughed out loud, "This is a gift for you two to visit and accommodate."

In addition, he took out twenty taels of gold from his arms and gave them to them, "I will definitely not be short of what you two need. How can I let my uncle spend more money for my nephew?"

The two people were so happy that they almost laughed together. They patted Xiao Pingtai's hand and said that it would be wrapped up in them and that they would come to play often in the future.

So Xiao Pingtai was honored with the post of Tan Zhenggong, and was able to be respected as Dan Zhenggong.
