Father and 3rd Shogun, Yoshimitsu And his younger brother, the 6th Shogun Yoshinori It is a general who tends to hide among the strong people, but Ashikaga Yoshimochi is doing a good job. .. Without this person, I would have entered the Warring States period earlier.
Ashikaga Yoshimochi who has built a stable government for a long time among the successive shoguns of the Muromachi Shogunate, which is super unique. Let's see what life was like.
Let's see the times when Ashikaga Yoshimochi lived
Ashikaga Yoshimochi Is the third shogun, Yoshimitsu Was born in 1386 to a woman in his concubine.
Yoshimitsu Was already reigning as a shogun of the Muromachi Shogunate.
Yoshimitsu Speaking of
- Temples and shrines
- The power of the hostile forces of the Shogunate will be reduced by provoking and subduing the hostile guardian daimyo by plunging his head into the conflict between the daimyo and the internal conflict of the guardian daimyo family.
- End the Nanbokucho era , which was divided into the Northern and Southern courts and fought.
- Aiming to restore diplomatic relations with Ming, Yoshimitsu received a gold seal with the words "King of Japan" from the people, Stable trade with the shogunate Let
We have left such achievements.
At the same time, against Yoshimitsu and the Shogunate
- The power of the hard and soft side of the hard and soft against the power of temples and shrines
- A force that has declined due to conflicts and internal conflicts between guardian daimyos
- Yoshimitsu Under the guidance of a peace treaty against the upheaval of the Northern and Southern Dynasties ( Meitoku Peace Accord ) In " Both sides The Northern Court forces that made a peace treaty with the Southern Court without being informed of the conditions such as
- Yoshimitsu Despite having signed a peace treaty with them, the Southern Court's forces against the fact that the Northern Court is not defending both sides.
- A force that opposes Japan's diplomatic relations in a way that is submissive to Ming
There was a situation in which dissatisfaction was definitely being raised among some powers even if they could not be seen openly due to the rapid progress.
The birth of Yoshimochi Ashikaga, the 4th shogun of the Muromachi Shogunate
Yoshimitsu As you can see from his achievements, he is a politician who is a politician, although he is a little forcible. The 4th Shogun Yoshimochi Yoshimitsu in the background Maybe the intention is included.
Although he had an older brother, Yoshimochi Is treated as Mr. Takashi, and was appointed as a shogun on the day he retired at the age of 9 in December 1394. As you can see from the age, Yoshimochi Is a general with only form and the real power is Yoshimitsu Continued to grasp. In addition, Yoshimitsu He has given up his general status but not to the reign of the family. These circumstances will be Yoshimochi later. And Yoshimitsu Yoshimochi is said to have been loved by Younger brother Yoshitsugu I will leave a deep scar on my relationship with.
Let's see the relationship between Ashikaga Yoshimochi's younger brother, Yoshitsugu, and his father, Yoshimitsu.
Yoshimochi Yoshitsugu My younger brother,
- Yoshimitsu The imperial court's speculation that it was trying to rebuild its finances with the foothold of making it a public house.
- Yoshimitsu's speculation to increase authority
It is said that Yoshimitsu has been treated specially because of the agreement.
* Yoshitsugu is likely to be accepted as an aristocrat because he has a good face and is good at elegant hobbies. was.
Yasuko Hino entered between the imperial court and the shogunate. .. Yasuko Is Fujiwara Kita Hino family , which is the fourth from the top in the order of public houses Originally from Yoshimitsu's room It hits.
Hino family Dainagon after working as a civilian It was a family that was able to hold the position of (basically based on the fourth-class government system established at the beginning of the 8th century, which is the deputy secretary of the Daijo-kan).
Yasuko Is junbo because the event that happened in the imperial court at that time was ominous (the emperor's parents died during the emperor's reign). She was in the spotlight when she was about to stand up.
Basically Yoshimochi Other than Yoshimitsu The sons were sent to the temples and shrines (at that time, the shogunate and the temples and shrines had a strong influence, so they tried to send the sons inside to connect the pipes), but Yoshitsugu Is repatriated Yasuko It will be a grace of. 1406, Yoshimitsu 49 years old, Yoshimochi 21 years old, Yoshitsugu I was 13 or 14 years old.
Emperor's junbo Is Yoshimitsu It is a room of Yoshimitsu , albeit indirectly. Is a position equivalent to the emperor's father Got it. These circumstances are the throne deprivation theory by Yoshimitsu. In addition to that, Yoshimitsu It seems that it has been denied recently because there was no clear word or action aimed at seizing the throne.
Yoshitsugu Yoshimitsu gave him preferential treatment because he was in the position of Yasuko's youzi. Junbo If youzi doesn't have a solid position, it won't be authoritative.
I want you to remember in such a situation.
"The reign of the family has not given up to Yoshimochi"
The fact. From the perspective of the surroundings, it is a situation that can be regarded as a doting. Yoshimitsu There may have been some who had determined the aim of, but there were many who did not.
Among those who are not
"Why don't you hand over the family to Yoshitsugu?"
"Do you want to pass on the general position to Yoshitsugu?"
What a story has come to be whispered. Yoshimochi Was quiet during Yoshimitsu's life, but Yoshimochi Yoshimitsu for And Yoshitsugu It's no wonder you want to smoke. In fact, Yoshimitsu And Yoshimochi There is still a story that he was out of touch.
In such a situation 1408 Yoshitsugu 3 days later, Yoshimitsu Takes a breath. It was a sudden death that was suspected of being assassinated because of the time and the situation.
The birth of a true shogun, Yoshimochi
4th Shogun Yoshimochi Is my father Yoshimitsu Was 23 when he died. He succeeded to the shogunate, but the reign of the family was not inherited. Yoshimochi .. Yoshimitsu However, he became critically ill immediately after he became ill, so he has no will.
It was the Kanrei Yoshiyuki Shiba who sent out a rescue boat there. was. In particular, Yoshitsugu , who received overwhelming support from the public family society. However, his solid and steady skill is Uri's Yoshisho . Continues to Yoshimochi It seems that it was good for him to inherit the family while he was in the general position.
By the way, Yoshiyuki Shiba who had been in the Kanrei for a long time. Also in his later years Yoshitsugu Guess Yoshimitsu Ming trade went to the times (financially positive) Yoshimochi with antipathy policies such as quitting Yoshimasa Shiba after his death Will gradually decline.
Also, Yoshitsugu After a while, he died young (25 years old).
Speaking of the Muromachi period, Muromachi in Kyoto Shogunate with a shogun based in Not only Kamakura-fu established for the Kanto region governance He sent a relative of the Ashikaga Shogunate to the top of the governing body (Kanto Kubō), and established a political system to assign Kanto Kanrei as an assistant.
Yoshitsugu Is alive, this Kamakura-fu Made me mess up. It is Uesugi Zenshu's turbulence. His concubinage father is Zenshu And Yoshimochi By Yoshitsugu It seems that he was forced to die because he rebelled against the restraint measures.
Uesugi Zenshu's Ran Successful suppression of leading daimyo .. The turmoil of the Muromachi period We have built a relatively stable government in Japan. On the other hand, Uesugi Zenshu's Ran Yoshimochi over the treatment of the daimyo involved (Moderate) and Kamakura Koga (Strict treatment) is in conflict. Muromachi Shogunate And Kamakura-fu Conflict will become more serious.
Yoshimochi just from these matters It can be inferred that he was careful not to overdo it while suppressing those who had too much power. Actually Yoshimochi Is a cooperative line It is evaluated as.
Yoshimochi Is said to be impatient in character, but his political method is his father's Yoshimitsu . The exact opposite. He was the type of politician who was hard to buy antipathy. It can be said that he has a disagreement with his father and has taken the opposite political stance from a repulsive spirit, but if anything, he said that he was working to control the distortion caused by the rapid reforms that his father had made. I feel that is correct.
As mentioned above, Yoshimochi Is Kamakura-fu If you build a foundation as the 4th Shogun while leaving the fire, the 5th Shogun's Yoshikazu Transfer the shogunate to (Yoshimochi's son). This was in 1423.
Was Yoshimochi the reason why Shogun Yoshinori was made a lottery general?
After he was in office as the 4th Shogun, he handed over the shogunate to his son, Yoshikazu, but he was handed over the shogunate Yoshikazu . He is naturally ill and is 19 years old ... In the current year, he will die prematurely at the young age of 17. So, Yoshimochi Is Yoshikazu He will continue to serve as a shogun after his death.
Such Yoshimochi Apparently before he died
If you die, you will decide the general, so do it yourself
He didn't appoint his next successor. This is the 6th Shogun, Yoshikyo That's why the lottery general was ridiculed.
Yoshimochi who often died prematurely Yoshikazu So Yoshimochi Yoshikazu It seems that his fondness for him was quite good, so it may be that his son's death made him lackluster. Even if I decide on a successor while the surrounding daimyo are jerky like that, Yoshimochi I also thought that it would be a source of conflict after his death. In other words
"I can't complain because it was decided by the oracle"
I tried to connect it to the proof. At that time, the power of religion was so strong that it couldn't be strongly appealed by the forces of temples and shrines.
"Then, let's draw a lottery with the names of the four younger brothers who are priests at Iwashimizu Hachimangu."
I turned to agree.
Also, Yoshimochi He seems to be a religious person himself, and his son's Yoshikazu After he died, he said, "I had a dream of having a boy," and the fortune drawn at the shrine, "The result of the birth of a boy came out."
I hated choosing a successor on the premise that "boys will not be born in the future"
It is said that there was also a reason.
Furthermore, Kamakura-fu Kamakura Koga who was getting confused with Yoshimochi at the top Mr. Mochi Seems to have been aimed at completely eliminating him from his successor. It can be said that the lottery general was born as a result of considering various things, not just one factor.
I want to read it together
Horror politics by the demon general, Ashikaga Yoshimochi Yoshimochi Ashikaga ...
What was the cause of Yoshimochi's death? ??
The above-mentioned lottery exchange took place in January 1428, Yoshimochi . Will be 44 years old.
Because of the New Year, I had many opportunities to go to shrines, the residence of Mr. Hatakeyama, the governor of the time, and temples. Yoshimochi Is it because I continued to drink with my caring work partner every day? I have a product on his ass.
If you scratch the product in the bathroom, germs may have entered the wound. The next day, I have a fever and the wound on my butt is swollen and I can't sit down.
As a result, I suffered from sepsis due to the buttock product, and after 10 days of scratching the product, I became a person who did not return.
Although the end is too sudden, it seems that his reign has been evaluated in recent years as having few wars.
