Everyone in the room was looking at Su Ruojin, waiting for her answer.
It seems that Xiao Yanchu had already told everyone what happened in the shogunate.
Su Ruojin felt somewhat helpless. This was her first time in Yamato, so how could they be so sure that she would know the reason?
but......
She certainly knew.
"Yamato is a peculiar country. They have an emperor, and the people of Yamato have always believed that the emperor is the son of heaven. Only with an emperor can Yamato be protected and enjoy peace for ten thousand years. This is the same principle as the emperors of the other countries in the Nine Provinces being the Sons of Heaven."
The Shogun was originally a general who fought for the emperor to conquer the country and protect the land, just like the general of the Great Chu.
However, the general of Yamato held military power and gradually sidelined the emperor, effectively controlling Yamato, turning the emperor into a figurehead.
The shogun's wife, also known as the shogun's wife, had to come from a noble family.
The so-called "courts" refer to the court nobles and their families under the emperor. They can also be simply understood as the civil officials of Yamato, who were also supporters of the emperor.
These people were essentially a constraint on the general, so the general had to marry a woman from the government.
However, after the Shogun gained real power, the Shogun's wife, who married into the Shogunate, was not well received.
After all, a general represents military officers and is somewhat confrontational with the government.
In fact, to prevent the children born to the shogun's wife from inheriting the shogun's position and overthrowing the shogunate's status, most shoguns did not allow their wives to have children.
In a cruel way, even if a general's wife became pregnant, she would be forced to abort the child, so the general's children were usually born to a concubine.
Yanluo's eyes widened in disbelief. This Yamato was so bizarre; they actually didn't allow their principal wife to have children.
Su Ruojin continued, "The other woman in that room today should be Deyi Kangren's favored concubine, and the one who gave birth to his son."
Otherwise, he would not have had the opportunity to serve Deyi Kangren.
"The Ooku is the inner palace of the shogunate, and they are in charge of all matters of the shogunate."
Most of the women who served as "Otoshi-yori" came from samurai families, forming an opposition with the court nobles. In reality, their status in the shogunate was higher than that of the less favored "Odai-sho" (official residence), and even higher than that of all the court noble women in the shogunate.
Tokuyoshi Shingo was able to become a senior official in the shogunate. Given his age, he should be considered an uncle of Tokuyoshi Yasuhito. His position in the shogunate was far beyond that of a mere magistrate. It's not surprising that he would dare to attack the magistrate.
After Su Ruojin said this, everyone understood.
"This Yamato is indeed vastly different from Kyushu," Xiao Yanchu remarked.
Su Muyao was stunned, especially when she saw that the women of the Yamato government were wearing thick layers of powder on their faces and had their teeth painted black. She found it unbelievable.
"Big sister, this is your first time in Yamato too. How do you know so much? You're amazing," Su Muyao said sincerely.
The eldest sister is a goddess.
Someone told her that Su Ruojin could fly, and Su Muyao didn't doubt it.
Wasn't the wooden bird something the older sister made?
Well......
Su Ruojin and Xiao Yanchu exchanged a glance; Mu Yao had hit the nail on the head.
Xiao Yanchu picked up the conversation: "That's what Musashi and the other guy said in prison."
Su Muyao nodded, not thinking much of it.
Su Ziyang's eyes seemed thoughtful. He had read the interrogation records, but Xiao Jin hadn't asked about these things.
However, he wouldn't press the matter; no matter what happened to Xiao Jin, she was still his sister.
