Chapter 64 Prosecution
On the morning of January 12, in the lobby of Tianshou Pavilion, Junfucheng.
Before Imakawa Yoshimoto arrived, Yu Qiuhei appeared keenly, and there was an additional middle-aged man sitting next to Mie-noon Ryu. From the look of Taehyung's glaring at him, it was not difficult to guess that this was Fujita Nakaan who betrayed the Asahina family.
Yu Qiuhei looked at Okabe Motonobu and others sitting there proudly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Imakawa Yoshimoto had just arrived. Before the dinner end, Lianlong asked Fujita Nakaanyan to be the first to jump out, and knelt down to Imakawa Yoshimoto, and kowtowed three times.
"The Asahina family has the trust of the main hall, and I hope the main hall will punish it!" The words from Asahina Taehyung made the Okabe faction at a loss. They had prepared various ways to refute the quibbling of the main hall yesterday, but Asahina Taehyung admitted his mistake when he came on. What is this?
"Oh? Asahina, you continue talking." Imakawa Yoshimoto raised his eyebrows and asked afterwards.
"I looked through the file yesterday and the Asabina family did reclaim 20,000 stones of land. Because of the busy business, I feel deeply ashamed. All the things that Lord said at the end of the year are true," said Taehyung of Asabina.
"Is this big thing possible for Lord Asahina to get through with a busy business?" Okabe Motonobu asked.
"Master Okabe is right." Yu Qiuhei immediately continued, "The Asahina family's behavior is indeed not tolerated."
Yu Qiuhei's words once again made everyone present confused. What does this mean? Is it a rebellion in front of the formation? However, Okabe Motonobu glanced at Asahina Taehyung, and saw that the latter was not surprised at all, and immediately understood that it was a double act. Yu Qiuhei saw that Asahina Taehyung was secretly laughing, without any surprise, and secretly scolded the person for being too poor in acting.
"Wuqiu thinks, how should I deal with the Asahina family?" Imakawa Yoshimoto seemed to see the clues and asked with a smile.
"Reporting to the main hall, the Asahina family's move has a bad influence, and has set a bad example for the entire Tonjiang and even the Great Kawa family. It is not enough to punish the Asahina family just by punishing the Asahina family." Yu Qiuhei said lightly, "I'm brave enough to ask the main hall to send a Memorial Fu team to thoroughly investigate whether the number of lords in the three and three countries of Junyuan have been concealed. Those who conceal their reports will confiscate the excess land."
Yu Qiuping's seemingly relaxed words suddenly ignited the audience.
"Fool." After hearing Yu Qiuhei's words, Okabe Motoshi smiled contemptuously, "This is offending everyone."
As expected, although the people of the Aobi Nai group came out to support Yu Qiuping, the people who were originally neutral stood up to obstruct the prosecution. They were exhausted and caused conflicts, giving foreigners opportunities to take advantage of various reasons to obstruct the prosecution. The Aobi Nai group suddenly fell into a dilemma of being surrounded by enemies. The conservative Lao Chen was silent at this moment and no longer supported Yu Qiuping. This was far from what Yu Qiuping expected.
"Mr. Yuqiu's words are a bit too erratic." I Naoping said accusing him, "Mr. Yuqiu is new to him, and he is afraid he doesn't understand. How much manpower and material resources are needed to conduct inspections at one time, and it is easy to intensify conflicts among the people. He proposed the inspections across the country in such a rash manner!" These words all imply that Yuqiuping is a young boy who knows nothing, and his words are naturally not convincing.
"Is it inconvenient to be the country all the time to obstruct the bottom of the country?" Seme Yoshihiro fought back.
Everyone argued with each other, but it was obvious that the opponents were more powerful and the number was more. Almost except for the Atsuhina group, all the retainers were criticizing Yu Qiuping's policy of prosecuting the territory, and there was no such situation as Yu Qiuping expected and everyone was scared.
Yuqiehei looked at Senatoshi Tsuna at a loss and sought help from the latter. However, Senatoshi Tsunatoshi just smiled and signaled Yuqiehei not to worry, which made Yuqiehei even more confused. Senatoshi Tsunatoshi so he glanced to the right with his eyes. Yuqiehei looked along there, and Imagawa Yoshimoto looked at the people who came out to oppose the prosecution area with a smile.
The retainers noticed that Imakawa Yoshimoto was always looking at them without saying a word and stopped discussing. As the discussion became less and less, the last few people were not speaking out.
"Everyone seems to be unwilling to investigate the land." Imakawa Yoshimoto said playfully. "But some people deliberately conceal the land?"
"How dare you?" Okabe Motonobu leaned over and said, "It only takes a lot of manpower and material resources to inspect the land, which can easily cause dissatisfaction among the people in the territory. I hope the family will think twice about the main hall."
"Oh? The Okabe family means that there is no hidden one acre of extra land?" Imakawa Yoshimoto asked.
"This... I can't guarantee it." A few drops of cold sweat appeared on Okabe Motoshi's forehead, "It may be at home..."
"Maybe there was some negligence because of busy affairs, this is also normal." Senashi Tsubasa spoke, which was exactly the same as the explanation given by Asahina Taehyung. If Okabe Motoshi responded at this moment, it would be like being tied to Asahina Taehyung and could no longer attack Asahina Taehyung. But if he refused to agree, he might face the prosecution.
In desperation, Okabe Motonobu had to answer: "What Lord Sena said is."
"There is no way to do this. You are all pillars of the country, so it is naturally impossible to do everything by yourself." Imakawa Yoshimoto smiled, "It is normal that there is no land in the territory that has not been counted. Do you agree?"
Imakawa Yoshimoto's words were like a smile. Standing on the stance of helping his retainers speak, it was actually to make everyone admit that they had concealed the land. But at this time, if they did not agree, it meant not being afraid of the family supervision and inspection land. If all the retainers objected together like they did just now, the family supervision was indeed helpless. But at this time, who can guarantee that the people around them will be in the same mind as they did?
As a result, the retainers all sued and agreed with Imakawa Yoshimoto's words, waiting for the coming punishment.
"However, the land inspection is indeed a waste of money." Imakawa Yoshimoto changed his tone, and everyone suddenly raised their heads and felt that things had turned around. "It would be better for each company to go back to check the files and return the excess land, so I won't interfere much." Imakawa Yoshimoto took this measure, not requiring a forced land inspection, but let each retainer spit out a piece of fat. This is a bit similar. When bargaining, you must first give a very low price, and then force the other party to complete the transaction at a moderate price.
The retainers obeyed the orders under the policy of Imakawa Yoshimoto's carrots and sticks, and did not arouse too much dissatisfaction. After all, Imakawa Yoshimoto finally compromised with them. Everyone knew in their hearts that although the hidden land would not be paid, at least half of it would have to be vomited out. Whoever handed over too little was caught by Imakawa Yoshimoto's negative example, would be in trouble.
"The Asahina family voluntarily admits their mistakes, so they will not give too much investigation. Just return to the excess land." However, the Asahina family, who is the target of public criticism, still had to bleed hard once. However, it was already a form of forgiveness to not hold the head or retainer accountable, and revoking the status of the old man of the Bito family.
"Thank you, the family for the supervision of the main hall!" Asahina Taehyung hurriedly thanked him, "The Asahina family will definitely not forget Moehn and continue to devote their loyalty to the Imagawa family!"
After everything was successfully over, Yu Qiuhei appeared, and the struggle between the two factions seemed to be controlled by Imakawa Yoshimoto. Both factions were both defeated. Imakawa Yoshimoto reaped the benefits of the fisherman, greatly strengthened the strength of the family and weakened the retainers. His proposal was actually to set a step for Imakawa Yoshimoto's plan. In return, the Asabina family did not receive any more investigation. Part of the found land was classified as direct by Imakawa Yoshimoto, and some of the samurai warriors who were conferred the fisherman. As new lords, they monitored the lords of various local areas.
After Adaetachi and others rushed back to Jun Mansion, the matter was resolved in an acceptable way. They personally thanked Yu Qiuping, but the latter was not happy. His own action plan did not achieve the expected results at all. Instead, he became a villain and offended all his colleagues.
"Is it because I value the authority of the family governor too seriously and think that the family governor is a one-on-one existence, just like the emperor of China?" Yu Qiuping thought about it later.
In fact, in Japan, most families have no arbitrary power. Strong retainers will have strong constraints on the lord, and all matters that the retainers jointly oppose will not be able to implement. Otherwise, it is very likely that the retainers will support another heir. The reason why the family governor can dominate the overall situation is largely due to his own authority. The direct-governor's own direct-governor's strength will not be too compatible with too many retainers, and the checks and balances between them are very delicate. If the family governor is against the rebellion and is opposed by the retainers, and the family governor loses authority, the powerful ministers will undermine the family governor and even further usurp power. For example, the joint meeting of the important ministers of the Asai family controls the power. Saito Daozo, Ukita Nao family and others have successfully expelled the main family and usurp the power successfully.
This situation is similar to the feudal hierarchy in the medieval European era.
Five days later, Fujita Nakaan was now led to the death of hang himself in Macheng. There is no official explanation.
Yu Qiuping couldn't understand such a situation at all. He felt like a chess piece on the political chessboard, being played with by someone to applaud.
Who is playing chess? What is the purpose?
Is it still too tender?
Almost at the same time, the Imakawa family was in the base of the Meku Group in Junfu City. Imakawa Yoshimoto looked at the information sent from various places, silently frowned.
"Master, what's the problem?" asked the ninja leader in a low voice.
"It's hard to say." Imakawa Yoshimoto was silent for a while and sighed, "That traitor has not revealed his head for a long time. I thought he would definitely be able to expose his tail this time."
"The people on the list I gave you will continue to strengthen surveillance." Imakawa Yoshimoto said in a deep voice.
After saying the order, Imakawa Yoshimoto was about to get up and leave. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something again.
"By the way, see if there are any merchant ships that have suffered shipwrecks near the coastline of our territory this year."
Yuqiu's life experience feels unusual.
