Chapter 284 Total Baikui (Twenty-five) Light and Dark
When Tokugawa Ieyasu said these words, Narita Kai raised his eyebrows slightly, shook his head and said, "This is a bad statement from Zuofu."
"Ah, I'm sorry for my rudeness." Tokugawa Ieyasu immediately understood what Kaibi-hime meant, bowed and apologized: "Misaki-don, Ieyasu is rude."
Ji Feiji then smiled slightly, nodded and said, "It's inconvenient for me to come here. I'll have a detailed discussion with Zuofu later. I'm sorry."
Tokugawa Ieyasu also knew that Kaibihime's identity was sensitive, so he hurriedly said: "Misaki-dono's words are serious, Ieyasu spared me." Then he glanced behind Honda Masanobu, who immediately waved his hand and ordered: "Hatamoto people, spread out to protect Misaki-den.
superior."
There may be a few nouns that need to be explained here, namely the three names for Kafei that just appeared here.
At first, Tokugawa Ieyasu called her "Princess". In fact, this "Princess" is a translation problem between Chinese and Japanese. In fact, the princess in Japanese is "Hime". In later generations, many two-dimensional girls like to call themselves "Ximei".
It means "princess" in Japanese.
"Hime" in Japanese mostly refers to the daughter of a daimyo, a wealthy family, or a branch of a city lord. In Chinese, the equivalent is called a princess - but the "princess" here is different from the royal "princess" because the official title of the Japanese royal princess is
It is the "prince in law". Therefore, the "gong" of this "princess" may be more equivalent to "duke", and the full meaning is the daughter of a duke.
To call "a certain princess" specifically, one or two characters from the princess's name, or her place of birth, plus "hime" are usually used to distinguish it. Kaibi-hime naturally belongs to the former, otherwise she should be called "Ninjo-hime"
"Yes.
However, after a princess gets married, she often has a new title. There are usually several kinds of names. Here we only talk about the "Misaki-den" and "Misaki-jo" that appeared earlier.
"So-and-so Hall" and "So-and-so Hall" are obviously honorific titles. In Japan, to be called "Dian", one must be very powerful. And not only women, men can also be called "
"Temple", which shows a sense of majesty.
In other words, "a certain concubine" only means bloodline and relatively high family status, but it is hard to say how powerful the princess is. But if it is a "certain palace", don't think too much, she must be powerful, and
Generally speaking, "some palace" means that she has her own palace in "some" place.
For example, Yododen is because Chacha has a palace in Yodogawa. Then, "Misaki-den" is naturally because Kaibi has a palace in Misaki Castle.
Indeed, there is. Although Gao Pingshi has never been to Misaki, or even to Japan at all, he originally built Misaki Castle as a bridgehead in Japan, so he approved the Kanto Fleet's request to build him a castle in Misaki Castle.
However, he actually had villas everywhere and there was no shortage of this one, so he gave this villa to Kaiji.
Because Gao was pragmatic and lazy - in fact, he forgot, he didn't name this villa anyway, so in Japan it was named after Misaki, and Kaibi became "Misaki-den".
So what is "Misaki Shangjo"? In fact, "Shang Shang" is also an honorific title, but compared to the unisex "dian", "Shang Shang" is an honorific title for a noble woman, which is equivalent to calling someone so-and-so for a man.
grown ups.
It was the first time Tokugawa Ieyasu called Kai-hime princess. As he said, he was so surprised that he didn't pay attention. He subconsciously called out the title that he remembered most. In fact, Kai-hime was already married at this time, so although this title was correct,
But it still shouldn't be called that.
So he changed his name to "Misaki-den", which is a unisex honorific that mainly reflects Kaiji's power at this time - representing Gao Pragmatic and his Kanto fleet stationed in Japan.
Honda Masanobu calls Kaihime "Misaki-sama", as I said just now, which is equivalent to the female version of "Misaki-sama". This also acknowledges Kaihime's power, but downplays her power because of her high pragmatism.
Get this.
The subtle differences also need to be carefully appreciated, which can explain the difference in the mood of the parties involved.
Kaiji didn't care how Ieyasu's banner members tried to protect her. She nodded slightly to Tokugawa Ieyasu and then turned back to the sedan chair. However, when someone around her opened the curtain of the sedan chair for her, she paused for a moment and nodded.
He left a sentence without replying: "Ishida Jibu Shaofu not long ago called everyone to a meeting to discuss whether to get rid of the Zuofu tonight..."
Tokugawa Ieyasu's hand holding the fan suddenly tightened, and all the retainers behind him became even more nervous. Naomasa Ii and others even subconsciously reached out and held down the handle of the knife.
However, Princess Kai's words came again: "But Zuofu doesn't have to worry too much, they couldn't reach a consensus."
Ieyasu was about to ask more questions, but he saw that Kabihime had already returned to the sedan chair. It would be rude to ask questions at this time, so he hesitated. But he was worried about being rude, but Honda Masanobu was not.
Honda Masanobu didn't care whether Kaiji could see it or not, he went out and bowed to the sedan chair and asked: "Please Misaki, please tell me, will it be dangerous for our lord to go to the Dainagon mansion during this trip?"
Kaiji's clear voice came from the sedan: "Don't worry, Ishida Harubu Shaosuke has no intention of doing such a foolish thing."
Honda Masanobu breathed a sigh of relief and was about to express his thanks when suddenly he heard Kaiji chuckle again and said: "However, he thinks very highly of himself and likes others to feel incomprehensible towards him, so he might do something
You will know this is a teasing move, but you don’t need to worry too much.”
Tokugawa Ieyasu couldn't help but frown, while Honda Masanobu was silent for a moment thoughtfully, and respectfully thanked him: "Thank you Misaki for your advice. I know how to do it."
This time, there was no sound in the female sedan.
"I'm relieved that Zuofu has arrived safely. In order to deceive others, Misaki just pretended to be a maid from Kodai-in, and I had to pretend to be a maid from Kodai-in." Todo Takatora chuckled and said, "I've been here all morning.
I've been patrolling the streets and alleys, but no suspicious people have been found yet. Just in case, I'm going to Maeda-sama's house all the way. I've made careful arrangements, so please feel free to go there."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Naturally, Takatora's smiling appearance was to reassure Ieyasu's entourage. He finished speaking in one breath and led the way without looking at how everyone reacted. Ieyasu was calm, but
He nodded slightly and sat back in the sedan.
When Taikaku was still alive, Ieyasu and Takatora had a friendship. Takatora was a foresighted man, and he and Ieyasu had a romantic relationship. At that time, Takatora was ordered by Hideyoshi to build a mansion for Ieyasu in Uchino Julechi. From then on,
From the beginning, he was convinced that Ieyasu would become the person in power after Hideyoshi...until he became a prisoner of Gao Pragmatic in North Korea.
After seeing the charisma of the Ming Dynasty's "Guan Bai", Gao Hu felt that Japan was really too small, and only a place like the Tang Dynasty, with its beautiful people, could produce such flawless characters.
Takatora Toudo was determined at that time that since Mr. Takakaku had made arrangements for Japan, it would be useless no matter who objected, including Tokugawa Ieyasu. As for later, when he learned that Ieyasu had also negotiated terms with Mr. Takakaku, he became even more
Congratulations on my foresight.
At this time, Tokugawa Ieyasu had also made up his mind. The world had been in chaos for decades, with civil wars and foreign wars, countless people had died, countless families had been separated, and families had been destroyed. Japan should not continue like this.
For the sake of peace and tranquility for the world, I, Tokugawa Ieyasu, will end the troubled times no matter what difficulties we encounter, even if the condition is surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, and I will not hesitate to inherit the Tokugawa family name as a highly pragmatic bastard.
In fact, when he saw the defeat of the Zheng Dynasty and Gao Pragmatic quietly expanded his power, Ieyasu's idea was deeply rooted in his heart and became his mission. Without this state of mind, he would not have taken such a big risk.
Come and pay tribute to the Li family.
Japan can no longer afford to fight. If it continues to be ignorant, once the Ming army really attacks in a big way, the kamikaze will not be able to save Japan a second time. And by that time, Toyotomi and Tokugawa will all disappear, even the emperor
He Gongjia may also disappear into history.
This was something Ieyasu could not imagine. In order to avoid such a tragedy, he would rather let the highly pragmatic concubine become a general who conquered the barbarians with the name of Tokugawa in the future.
When Ieyasu arrived at Maeda House, brothers Toshinaga and Toshimasa were already waiting in front of the gate. Ieyasu got off the sedan chair and walked towards the gate of Maeda House. A ray of sunlight shone through, making the clean gravel road in front of him shine brightly.
Thousands of emotions flooded into Ieyasu's heart. He did not want to ignore his friendship. If so, his "mission" would have huge flaws. As he walked to the gate, Ieyasu's feeling became even stronger.
Ieyasu was sitting at the gate dragging his sick body. He was probably afraid of the cold. He was sitting on a tiger skin, and his body looked even thinner and withered. Seeing the former tiger general so haggard, Ieyasu felt that life was cruel, and he almost burst into tears.
, sighed: "Danayan, in fact, you don't have to force yourself at all."
These words were completely heartfelt surprise and comfort. However, Lijia did not answer, but hurriedly bowed to the ground and saluted, then stood up, staggered to the polished steps, and said with a strong breath: "Welcome.
.My rotten bones are seriously ill and I cannot go out to greet you. I hope Zuofu will forgive me."
Ieyasu suddenly realized that Toshiie had seen two things clearly: firstly, his time was running out; secondly, the general trend of the world had been decided. He had a thorough understanding of the world's situation, and because of this, the loyal and upright Toshiie was even more tragic.
Ieyasu stretched out his hand to help Toshiie up and helped him walk inside. Toshinaga followed Ieyasu with a calm face and walked towards the academy that had been cleaned up long ago. But from Tosimasa, a hint of murderous aura could be vaguely felt. Perhaps, Toshinaga
Nagano deliberately followed Ieyasu out of concern for his reckless younger brother.
Can the two sons understand the father's sad state of mind? Today's Toshiya is especially outspoken. As soon as he arrives at the academy, he has the wine that has been prepared brought to Ieyasu: "Zuofu, this is the last time you and I will drink in this life.
, is the wine of eternal farewell.”
Toshiie suddenly said such a sentence, even Ieyasu was a little at a loss. He could handle the pleasantries and comfort the other person, but Toshiie expressed his feelings directly from the beginning and did not hide anything.
"Zuofu, my whole life, I have been under the weight of armor." Li Jia completely abandoned all the pretense required by a superior and became a sincere person. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, held the pot in person, and said with a smile:
"The heavy armor can be taken off, but the heavy burden on the shoulders cannot be taken off."
"Danayan is right, this is your fate and mine."
"That's why Zhuo Jing asked me to leave everything to the Buddha."
Ieyasu nodded vigorously: "Everything has its own destiny, and what your ladyship said is absolutely true."
"However, I rebuked Zhuojing."
"oh?"
"I reprimanded her and said, if we believe in 'Tali's original wish', then how can we, the warriors, get along with themselves?"
Ieyasu smiled, patted his knees and said, "Yes, there are shades of 'Tali'."
"Yes. Zhuojing also said that just reciting the Buddha's name is not enough, but..." The Li family glanced at Li Chang and Li Zheng who were sitting next to them, and sighed softly: "I think Zuofu has also seen that there are still some people who are not practicing enough.
Ah. These people superficially believe that life depends on others, so they gradually lose their courage as the years go by. How can this be done?"
"yes."
"So, I told Zhuo Jing that warriors are not ordinary people. They have taken refuge in my Buddha from the beginning, and then each set up a dharma, shed blood and killed people. These are warriors, so don't be afraid of going to hell...I will go to hell too.
There are countless people in my family who have gone to hell first... Therefore, when I get to the underworld, I will gather them together and lead them to attack the underworld."
Ieyasu couldn't help but glance at Toshinaga and Tosumasa. Toshinaga was sitting upright with a smile on his face. But Tosumasa didn't seem to understand his father's words, and was a little dazed and confused.
Ieyasu picked up the wine that Toshiie poured himself, drank it down in one gulp, and then slowly said: "It's the same with Ieyasu, when I close my eyes, I will say the same thing to...Hidetada."
"Then I'm relieved." Toshiya nodded and sighed: "Kaga's grandpa, Edo's grandpa... the one the young master calls the dearest, there are only you and me in this world... after I die
, the young master and my children were all entrusted to Zuofu."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Ieyasu is silent.
These unabashed words were a request from a dying man and a true confession from an old man who was far away from vanity and fighting, which made Ieyasu feel even heavier.
In the past, although the Toshi family often said, "The young master is entrusted to you," he never said that he would entrust his son to Ieyasu. This can be seen that the Toshi family did not admit that Ieyasu was "a man of the world after Taige".
.But today, Li Jia frankly expressed his true thoughts.
The Toshi family does not want to live up to Taiko's last wish, but at the same time he is worried about the future of the family. He hopes that both of them can rely on Ieyasu's power to maintain peace forever. This must be the last wish of the Toshi family, and he is convinced that Ieyasu can understand his thoughts.
Ieyasu knew that things were not as simple as the Toshi family thought. The Tokugawa family could not be true "people of the world" - they were just mantises, and the oriole of the Ming Dynasty behind them was the final winner. This could no longer be changed.
But at this time, Ieyasu could only pretend to accept it happily, drank the wine in one gulp, and said with emotion: "Since Dai Nagon is so honest, Ieyasu promises you that as long as I live, I will definitely live up to Dai Nagon's entrustment.
"
I am alive and I will try my best, but if I am no longer here... Danayan, it would not mean that I have broken my trust in you!
"I can't thank you enough. So, please Zuofu, please give me this cup of farewell wine!" Toshiya picked up the wine pot again, and Ieyasu drank it calmly. Toshimasa beside him had a complicated expression. He probably thought that his father was groveling.
In fact, he was in great pain inside, so he also felt pain.
Ieyasu saw that in the open outside room, the elders of the Toshi family and his entourage had begun to drink. Hosokawa Yusai was sitting at the top, and the loud voices of Arima Hoin, Shinjo Hoin, Toudo Takatora and others were mixed in with the noise of the young military commanders.
.
As he listened, Ieyasu couldn't help but hold his breath and concentrate, trying to find Mitsunari's voice among these voices. How great it would be if Mitsunari was here to talk, laugh and drink with everyone! If this could be done, everything in the world would go as the family wishes.
It's a pity that Misaki-den has said before that Mitsunari was still discussing how to get rid of him not long ago, and when he meets Toshiya this time, Mitsunari may do something unexpected... I just don't know what he will do?
Just as Ieyasu was thinking of this, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps, and at the same time Asano Yukinaga shouted loudly: "Everyone, a weirdo is here."
"Weird? Who is it?" The person asking the question was Nagamasa, Yukinaga's father.
"Zhibu. It's the young assistant of the Zhibu. He knew that we were all here, but he still pretended not to know and came to visit Da Nayan."
Ieyasu sighed, someone had probably invited Sancheng to the outside.
"Blow him out!" someone shouted loudly. Then, someone shouted again: "Chop him into pieces!" someone responded in a low voice.
The harmonious atmosphere was broken in an instant, and there was a murderous atmosphere outside. Toshinaga, who looked nervous, saluted Ieyasu: "Please forgive me for leaving the table temporarily!" Then he hurried to the corridor.
Ieyasu had a gloomy face and stroked his beard vigorously. If it weren't for the benefit in front of him, he would have done something else, but at this time he could only endure it. Fortunately, since the benefit was gone, nothing should happen. Otherwise, if he was in Maeda
A dispute between the government and Sancheng is tantamount to throwing sparks into a powder magazine.
Although almost all of the people gathered here are people who are interested in Ieyasu, there are also many people who hope that Mitsunari and Gomori will take over the power. Once the two sides get into chaos, things will be bad - at least in Fushimi Castle at this time.
, Ieyasu has no strength advantage.
However, he immediately flashed the beautiful image of Kaiji in his mind, and thought to himself: Misaki-don will never come alone. Could it be that she is prepared? But this does not seem to be the case...
However, she could actually know that Sancheng had just convened a meeting to discuss killing me. Who knows how much power she still has lurking in the dark? Alas, how many people in Japan today have quietly taken refuge with that old man?
"Da Nagon, it seems that the Chief of Staff of the Administrative Department has arrived." Ieyasu said loudly and deliberately, "Can you please ask Toudou-sama to go and have a look? I'm afraid the Administrative Department has come to see Ieyasu for something." Obviously, he was hinting to Toudou to go and check.
.
"No. It has become a routine for the administrative department to come to visit me every day." Toshiya said. However, Todo Takatora had already understood and said goodbye and left the outside.
Ieyasu breathed a sigh of relief - Takatora knew that he didn't like to cause trouble and would handle it properly. At this time, Asano Yukinaga's loud voice came in from the outside again: "This suspicious guy must have come to find out what is true. He
I just want to see who is gathering here."
"Haha... Those gathered here today are all people who are hated by the administration." The person who laughed seemed to be Masanori Fukushima, who sneered: "Maybe he will launch a sneak attack..."
"This is fun! That fox has never left the palace since it lost the big tree in Taige."
Ieyasu glanced at Toshiie as if nothing had happened. The "protective house" that outsiders refer to is of course Maeda House, but how will Toshiie react at this time?
The Li family seemed not to have heard, and only said to Li Zheng: "Li Zheng, you propose a toast to Zuofu."
"Yes. Sir Zuofu, please give me your respect." Ieyasu was very surprised to hear Toshimasa being so serious, but he still handed over the wine glass and asked lightly: "The nephew has a good relationship with the young assistant of the administrative department, right?"
Li Zheng shook his head vigorously and said, "My nephew doesn't like him and doesn't talk to him much."
"Oh, what about your brother?"
"Brother has the same thoughts as my father, and he is very insidious when it comes to running a department!" Li Zheng said disdainfully, and took the wine glass at the same time.
Hearing what he said, Ieyasu became even more curious: even though he was not welcome, Mitsunari came frequently; in addition, as soon as Toshinaga heard about Mitsunari's arrival, his face suddenly changed, he got up and left, and Takatora, who went to investigate, did not come back...
…
The conversation outside continued. "Jibu, Miyabe, and Fukuhara, these traitors, one day I have to show them some color!"
"Hmph! Taige's funeral is over too. We'll have to fight sooner or later anyway, so it's better to strike first."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Yes, yes, once the fox is aware of it, he will play tricks. You see, he spends time here every day is proof. Fortunately,
Da Nayan understands justice well and cannot be fooled by that fox, otherwise he will incite Da Nayan with sweet words and confiscate our territory - this guy has never had a good heart!"
"Chief Accountant, please be extra careful. Konishi-chan's Uto and your Kumamoto are both in Higo."
Ieyasu sighed, having a headache. The factions blamed each other, which naturally made the wounds of the split deeper. This was inevitable. But once you act excessively and want to get rid of the other party without asking about right and wrong, you are buying trouble.
. Now, this sign has appeared, and the Li family has become a bargaining chip for both parties.
"The purpose of governing the department is definitely not just your house." Another positive voice said: "Mouri Terumoto is also his prey, and recently there are people in the Uesugi Mansion who are using their words frequently... If you don't be careful, you will definitely get bitten.
."
"In this case, we have to support..." The voice of someone unknown suddenly disappeared at the end of the sentence.
Ieyasu thought, it's really strange. Although he tried hard to avoid meaningless fights, as long as the other party made any movement, the quiet sea would always stir up turbulent waves... Perhaps, this is a sin that people can never escape.
Ieyasu is not worried that he will fail. Even if Ishida Mitsunari can win over everyone he wants to win over, Ieyasu also knows that he has a chance to win - the support of Mr. Takakaku is the guarantee of victory.
Just as Ieyasu was thinking about this, footsteps came from outside, and then he heard Todo Takatora's cough. Takatora did not come to report to Ieyasu, but loudly said to everyone: "The young assistant of the administrative department has gone back. He has no other intention."
, I only asked Mr. Li Chang a few words and then left."
"Oh, he didn't ask who exactly was gathered here?"
"He knew that even if he asked, Mr. Li Chang would not answer. So he exchanged a few words and went back home."
"Hahaha!" Xing Chang smiled and said with some disdain: "Maybe he feels embarrassed, don't you think so? If he doesn't come today, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape here in the future. This fox is here to explore the way.
Yes, hahaha."
Ieyasu couldn't help but look away from Toshiie. Toshiie was covered in withered bones and looked so miserable. Regardless of whether he was sentimental or ruthless, it was difficult for him to do anything under the attack of everyone.
However, although it is impossible for the Toshi family to do anything anymore, what about the distinguished guest at the Todo residence? There is no way that Misaki-don came to Fushimi from Sakai Town just to have a few indifferent gossips with him.
——Although those words can prove part of her strength.
She must have a more important motive, but what exactly is it?
