Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 538

As night fell.

The people who came to this wedding were all old acquaintances.

Fujiwara no Michitsuna and Fujiwara no Yukinari, two acquaintances, had some idea of ​​this.

The three Taira brothers and the two Fujiwara brothers, Hiroyama and Hiromi, also anticipated this.

Not to mention Minamoto no Yorihira.

Meeting with old acquaintances, I felt completely at ease chatting with them.

However, upon meeting Kagura's father, Katsumi, Kousaka Kyosuke was still somewhat unsettled.

Katsumi's father was the former emperor, Emperor Kazan, not Emperor Daigo in history, but the historical trajectory is very similar to that of Minamoto no Hiromasa.

He voluntarily relinquished his royal status to become a subject, was granted the surname "Yuan," and was appointed as the Junior Fourth Rank, Lower Grade, and then took up the post of Grand Assistant Minister of the Central Secretariat.

He can be described as a former prince with real power.

Compared to other princes and princesses who are ignored, their treatment is really good.

This is naturally also due to his voluntary relinquishment of royal status.

According to the traditions of that time.

After Emperor Murakami, the throne was passed down in turn to his two sons, Emperor Reizei and Emperor En'yū, and their descendants.

The current emperor is Emperor Ichijo, the only son of Emperor Enyo.

The previous emperor was Emperor Kazan, the eldest son of Emperor Reizei.

This Emperor Kazan was the father of Katsumin.

Although he acted eccentrically, he was actually full of vigor. When he first came to power, he planned to work with his maternal family to promote reform policies, broaden the channels for public opinion, and encourage middle-class nobles to participate in politics.

They even issued a decree to the manor...

This greatly displeased Fujiwara no Kenie, the head of the Fujiwara clan at the time, who was also Michinaga's father.

They directly devised a scheme to persuade Emperor Kazan to become a monk.

And that led to Emperor Ichijo's ascension to the throne.

Even so, Emperor Kazan's children still have the right of succession.

However, the first to back out was his current father-in-law, Kemin.

This enabled him to wield real power upon entering the civil service. According to Fujiwara no Michitsuna, Kaneie had wanted Katsuaki to head the court nobles in the Ministry of Ceremonies, but he refused.

This father-in-law is indeed very sensible.

After all, the position of Minister of Ceremonial Affairs can only be held by a prince according to tradition.

It seems like things are not going well for the former prince who has already been demoted to a commoner.

So, Kaneya is a really cunning guy.

Forget it, he was the father of the Taoist priest, and he's been dead for who knows how many years. Let's not talk about it anymore.

"...How is Kagura?"

After the "revealing" ceremony ended, Katsumi, watching Kagura being led into the bridal chamber by her maids, slowly asked Kousaka Kyosuke.

Behind him stood Minamoto no Hiromasa like a straight pillar, his expression also very serious.

Kyosuke Kosaka suddenly felt like a criminal being interrogated.

Thinking about how well-behaved, cute, obedient, and sensible Kagura was, he quickly realized that there was a reason why his father and brother doted on her so much.

If your daughter is too cute, or your younger sister is too cute, then you definitely have to spoil her even more.

If you encounter a daughter-obsessed person and a sister-obsessed person, you can only bite the bullet and go for it.

A few people not far from Kyosuke Kosaka watched the show with smiles.

They drank and chatted.

Minamoto no Yorimitsu often drank with Fujiwara no Yukinari.

The former drank more, the latter drank less.

Sensing something amiss, Fujiwara no Michitsuna recalled some information and understood the situation.

"No wonder we haven't seen Kyosuke on the streets today, I see..."

He chuckled to himself.

Fujiwara Michitsuna continued to watch Kousaka Kyosuke's current predicament.

This is hilarious.

Worth a look.

There won't be much time to have fun after this.

The political situation at court and the security of the capital are enough to give anyone a headache.

Two quarters of an hour later.

It was an extremely rare occasion for Kousaka Kyosuke to enter the Shinboku (new bedroom) and meet Kagura.

At his previous weddings, Kousaka Kyosuke would drink with Fujiwara Yukinari, Fujiwara Michitsuna, and others until dawn.

This time, thanks to the involvement of Katsumi and Minamoto no Hiromasa, Kousaka Kyosuke was able to easily arrive at the bridal chamber.

Fortunately, both father and son were of good standing, and with the help of their daughter Makoto, they were able to properly entertain their guests.

So, Kyosuke Kousaka and Kagura happily slept together.

I don't know how long it took before I fell asleep.

Kyosuke Kosaka felt as if he had entered a cold and desolate world.

A mysterious figure surrounded by purple snake shadows spoke with great interest: "You're not looking for me through this witch? Then try fighting and struggling alongside other interesting little creatures in the dream I've woven..."

The mysterious sound, sometimes near, sometimes far, slowly faded away.

When Kyosuke Kousaka looked up again, he found himself in a crowd of at least several hundred people.

With his face lowered and constantly shifting in subtle emotions, he glanced around and, finding no other familiar faces besides his two brothers-in-law, and especially no partner present, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief…

The previous backup plan still works for the partners.

Only Kagura... is missing.

"I can only use the limits of human strength..." Kyosuke Kousaka murmured.

They didn't seem to notice that many people were gradually focusing their attention on Ayanokoji and Hikigaya, their two brothers-in-law.

"Compare to penguins!!"

A low growl, barely containing suppressed anger, broke the slightly noisy atmosphere.

It was a thin, tall man who spoke.

Hikigaya silently looked at his classmates who had almost surrounded him.

I deeply feel how much malice the so-called gods have towards me.

"Hachi." The sudden presence of his wives brought Hachiman back to his senses.

His previously somewhat helpless gaze suddenly turned cold.

"Go away."

"you……"

Those who wanted to say something finally shut their mouths.

He is Yamato.

Before I knew it, I had come into this world.

He was told by the supreme deity that this was a trial world he had created.

If you win here, you will gain power.

The power to trample everyone underfoot!

He wants it!

He was also very clear about it.

It is not advisable to antagonize Hachiman at this time.

He needs to win over the people around him.

However, when Yamato turned to look at his other classmates and alumni, they had already hidden far away.

"He's the one who betrayed Ye Shan."

"traitor!"

"He's the one who killed the Minister of Revenue!"
