Chapter 284: Chief Bai Kui (twenty-six) is good at teaching Zuo Mansion to feel at ease
When Tokugawa Ieyasu said goodbye to Maeda and his son and returned to Todo Takatora's mansion, it was already the fourth quarter of the year. The Toshi family sent Ieyasu to the gate and repeatedly told the Toshicho brothers to take strict precautions along the way.
However, as Kaihime said before, the discussions between Ishida Mitsunari and others had no results, and naturally they would not arrange any assassination or the like. Ieyasu's trip was extremely smooth, and he did not even notice a follower.
Returning to Todo House, Ieyasu was not even interested in talking to Takatora. Instead, he sent someone directly to see Kafihime, saying that he wished to visit Misaki-den.
Of course, paying a visit is a polite word. After all, Kaiji took the risk to come here to discuss something important with him, but the word "pay a visit" must be said. Of course, with the dignity of Tokugawa Ieyasu Zuofu, a man with a height of 2.5 million stone
For a super daimyo, such kind words are naturally not addressed to the mere "Misaki-den", but to the Ming Dynasty's "Guan Bai" behind her.
Not long after, Honda Masanobu came back and reported: "My lord, I have a request from Misaki-san."
"Where can I meet you Misaki-don?" Ieyasu immediately stood up and asked casually.
"In the backyard garden." Honda replied.
Ieyasu stopped, was startled, and asked curiously: "Garden?" Ieyasu's strangeness can be easily explained. It seems that such confidential matters should be discussed in a quiet secret room. If it is in the garden, then some people cannot be excluded.
Peep secretly, and then judge a lot of things from the looks, expressions and even the duration of the conversation between the two people.
Ieyasu even knew that there were many powerful ninjas in Japan who could read lips, and could understand 80% to 90% of what people said just by looking at their mouth movements - he himself controlled the Iga-ryu ninjas, so he naturally knew this.
"Misaki no Ue said that due to the solemn etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, as a woman, she cannot be alone in a secret room with the lord." Honda Masanobu said seriously: "But the lord does not have to worry about the news of the meeting being leaked. There are currently three layers of guards in the garden: the outermost layer is the flag.
Everyone, guarding Todo Mansion; the middle layer is Iga Doshin (the direct descendant group of Hattori Hanzo, the "King of Ninja" under Ieyasu, with only 200 people), guarding the outside of the garden; the inner layer is people brought by Misaki, whose origins are unknown
, but the Iga people said there are many masters among them.”
Tokugawa Ieyasu took a deep breath, nodded, and said expressionlessly: "It's not surprising. The Tang Dynasty is huge, and there will be many capable people and strangers. Besides, the Misaki-don family is quite distinguished. I have heard about some of them in the past few years.
It is said that the Narita family has absorbed some Fuma ninjas who have been dispersed."
Honda Masanobu sighed softly, nodded and said: "There are many rumors about this matter, and I have also heard about it. I even heard that this generation of Fuma Kotaro (the leader of the Fuma Ninja Group will change his name to Fuma Kotaro) has also defected to the Narita family... Of course,
The Narita family is just a cover, and the master from Ming Kingdom must be behind it. In this case, it is not surprising that there are Fuma ninjas protecting Misaki."
Ieyasu said with emotion: "When Gohojo was defeated, the Fuma people never left behind and were almost destroyed. Only a few small fish and shrimps were left. I also participated in the pursuit, but I never thought that they would rise again." He paused.
After a pause, he continued: "Go ahead and tell Iga-ryu not to quarrel with the Fuma people anymore. It's best to find some opportunities to ease the relationship with them."
Honda Masanobu also sighed, then nodded and said: "Yes, I understand."
Ieyasu said nothing and walked straight to the backyard garden.
Not long after he came to the garden, he felt that there was a ninja aura inside and outside the garden, but this aura was deliberately revealed to let him know, and he knew this very well.
There is a rockery in the garden, and there is a pavilion under the rockery. Kaiji, dressed in black and red Ming Dynasty women's clothing, is drinking tea in the pavilion. Seeing Ieyasu coming, Kaiji smiled slightly, stretched out her hand and said, "Please sit down, Zuofu."
Tokugawa Ieyasu knew that Kai-hime deliberately did not stand up to greet her. If it had been anyone else, Ieyasu would have been angry, but at this time, Kai-hime was the one he could not afford to offend, so he had no choice but to pretend that he had no grudges.
Smiling and sitting across from Kaiji.
Although Kaiji did not stand up to greet me, she took the initiative to push the other white porcelain tea cup in front of her to Ieyasu and said: "Although my master is not good at collecting tea sets, this set of tea sets was given by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.
There are eight things including tea baking, tea cage, soup bottle, teapot, tea cup, paper bag, tea wash, tea bottle, and tea stove, which is called Qilin Yakumo Scenery."
During the Warring States Period in Japan, the admiration and hype of tea sets reached an extremely exaggerated level. A set of famous tea sets were often praised as priceless treasures, and the big shots who obtained them often held tea parties to show off, which continued to elevate its status.
Ieyasu was naturally surprised when he heard that the tea set in front of him was actually a gift from the Ming Emperor. Tang porcelain has always been a treasure that Japan highly covets and admires, not to mention a gift from the emperor, you don't have to think about it to know that it is extremely valuable - this is actually
It was a misunderstanding. Zhu Yijun had given so many things to Gao Pangshi. How could they all be priceless? Of course, with such a history, they would be priceless in Japan.
Ieyasu carefully picked up the tea cup with both hands and tasted it carefully according to the rules. At this time, Kaiji said again: "This tea is not an extraordinary tea, but the famous Tiger Hill tea, which is regarded as a tribute tea to the Buddha. In addition to the emperor, this tea is also
As far as my husband is able to receive some, I dare say that apart from Zuofu, no one else in Japan is lucky enough to taste it."
Ieyasu's face became even more cautious, and even showed a look of great honor, and he said repeatedly: "This is such a blessing for three lifetimes. Misaki-don's gift today, Ieyasu will never forget it."
Ji Feiji was very satisfied with his attitude and said with a smile: "If Zuofu likes it, if Zuofu holds a tea party in the future, I will order Beiyang to provide you with a complete set of Tang tea utensils and tea leaves, which will definitely be the best in the world."
Ieyasu didn't dare to refuse, and immediately thanked him repeatedly. Looking at his appearance, he almost knelt down to thank him.
After the greetings were completed, Kafiji finally turned to the topic and said with a smile: "Today the Zuofu met with Danagon, I think we should be able to determine how long the Kaga Million Stones have left?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Ieyasu nodded seriously and said: "Yes, Danagon... his life is not long."
"Once he dies, no one in the world will be able to suppress the contradictions, and it won't be long before the weapons will rise again." Ji Feiji didn't seem to have much compassion, and just asked lightly: "But I don't know what Zuofu has in mind?"
It's here, it's finally here, Ieyasu thought.
"According to Ieyasu's wishes, Japan has been suffering from continuous wars for one hundred and fifty years since the Onin Rebellion. It has been in chaos for long enough. We should not continue to attack each other like this. It is best to stop fighting and let the
Everyone in the world can stay away from the disaster of war..."
Kaihime smiled softly, interrupted Tokugawa Ieyasu, and asked: "The Zuofu may think so, but will Ishida Harube agree?"
"There is something I don't know whether I should say it or not..." Having said that, Tokugawa Ieyasu naturally would not give Kaiji a chance to answer "I shouldn't say it", but immediately continued: "If Misaki-don can stand up and say it to me,
The whole world announced its support for the establishment of the government, and I thought that Ishida would retreat in the face of difficulties."
Yes, I think so too, but it’s a pity that I can’t do this, because that’s not what the master wants. Kaiji’s face remained unchanged, but she sighed in her heart. After all, she is also Japanese and a woman, so naturally she will not be happy to see Japan.
Once again, there were mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and mountains and rivers were shattered. Unfortunately, she couldn't make the decision in this matter. She could only act in accordance with the principles of high pragmatism and explanation.
What's more, this matter will eventually affect her son's future.
"The volcano that is about to erupt cannot be suppressed. Even if it seems to be suppressed for the time being, as long as the power of the eruption is still there, the eruption will only be delayed. After all, it is meaningless, and even..." Kaiji shook her head and said:
"If Zuofu is gone by then, wouldn't it be more difficult for the juniors to deal with it?"
This was a clear rejection. Ieyasu actually guessed that Kaihime would refuse, because he had thought about it from a highly pragmatic perspective, and what was the best way to deal with the current situation.
The conclusion is that it is best to let another large-scale civil war break out in Japan, wait until the two groups are exhausted, and then use the most tyrannical force as the backing to seize all the remaining power of Japan for his own use.
At that time, not to mention the power of Tokugawa Ieyasu, even if he teamed up with Ishida Mitsunari, he would not pose any threat to Gao Pragmatic.
It's a pity, so what if you see through it? Ishida Mitsunari will not give up. This man firmly believes that he wants to bully the young master and take over the Taige world. He may even have his own ambitions, so how can he give up?
Ieyasu even secretly guessed that there might be people around Mitsunari who had secretly taken refuge with Mr. Kokaku, deliberately fanning the flames around Mitsunari and provoking a war between him and himself.
If not, why would the meeting held by Mitsunari today discuss the matter of assassinating himself? You must know that in the eyes of others, even if you die, the Tokugawa family will not have no successors, and Kanto will definitely raise troops to take revenge!
Doing this will only provoke a war immediately. Ishida Mitsunari is not a fool, how could he not see this? However, he still discussed this matter, which means that someone must have jumped out to express his firm support for him to do this. He was
With such encouragement, I thought I could preemptively strike even if a war broke out.
At that time, he was already dead. Hidetada not only lacked prestige, but also had not shown any outstanding commanding ability before. Of course, Ishida Mitsunari believed that he had a chance to win.
In this case, no matter how much I want to shake hands with Ishida Mitsunari and make peace, it is meaningless, right? There must be people planted by Mr. Gaoge around him to push him to raise troops, and I am someone he hates deeply, so it is impossible.
What can I do if I can remind him?
That's all, if you want to fight, let's fight! I just hope that this battle can be fought cleanly and neatly, and never lead to a stalemate with mutual victory or defeat. In that case, Japan will have to suffer more...
"What Misaki-don said is reasonable, but..." Ieyasu pretended to agree with Kahihime's words, but pretended to be hesitant and said hesitantly: "Now the strength of the two sides seems to be about the same, but I still have some people in the rear of Kanto.
Uesugi Kagekatsu is like a thorn on his back. If the battle starts together, 30% attack from west to east, Kagekatsu advances from east to west, and these two lead the army to hunt in Edo, then our Tokugawa will be destroyed. Tokugawa will be destroyed.
It’s not a pity, but when the time comes... what will happen if the young master’s safety is in danger?”
Yan Gongzi naturally refers to Gao Yan, the son of Gao Jingshi and Kaibi, and the future successor of the Tokugawa shogunate that Ieyasu and Gao Jingshi had negotiated.
Kafihime smiled slightly and said: "I would like to reassure Zuofu. Today I am here to tell Zuofu something: General Jinghua will send a large army to defend Edo City for Zuofu, and Zuofu can send troops to fight with peace of mind."
