flatterers

According to Hōtoku-ki.

"We are very pleased to meet you.
We think you will be tired.
Be ready for banquet of welcome."
　
Several influential people of the Utsu family territory.
They said to Kinjiro.
(They were people under the Utsu family dominion，not samurai.)

When Kinjiro has been appointed，they welcomed Kinjiro at the territory border.

"Thank you.
However，I am in a hurry.

But Kinjiro ignore it and he left there immediately.

"They came here expressly to see you.
I think this is an act of courtesy is lacking."
　
Travel companions of Kinjiro.　
After a few moments he said to Kinjiro.
　
"No problem.
They are flatterer.　

I came for reform.
They also know it of course.
　
Persons who approaching first to me.　
It's those who have some intention.　

Probably they are have a vested interests.　
I does not depend on such a thing.
I will push through strict reform.
There is a need to show it first."
　
After this，Kinjiro was not able to get their cooperation.
This would be of course.
　
And Kinjiro also probably wanted it for radical reform.

Flatterers tried to adhesion to Kinjiro.
This would be true.

"Hopefully, we will can water down the reform."
Probably,they would was also such intended.

Well，things which they were trying to protect by its act.　
It would have been right to life of the people under the Utsu family dominion.

Because they have suffered from every reform until now.

Their lives.
It had deteriorated at after every reform.
