When the reply letter, which was quickly brought back to Osaka, was opened, apart from Acceptance and Ina Chuji, the only ones present were Tokugawa Ieyasu and Honda Masanobu.
The first thing that caught my eye was this sentence: "The rise and fall of the Uesugi family depends on this, please think twice..." Isn't this the sentence that Cheng Cheng racked his brains to write?
Everyone was staring at Acceptance, and Inai Books was no exception. Just after reading a few lines, Acceptance's face turned red, his hands kept trembling, and his face and lips convulsed. The situation was unbearable to witness.
Acceptance is rarely so embarrassing. When Hideyoshi read out the envoy's canonization letter in front of him, and when he read the sentence "I canonize you as the King of Japan," his reaction was just like today.
Surprisingly, Ieyasu and Honda Masanobu were not very surprised. It took Acceptance a quarter of an hour to finish reading the letter, and then he handed it to Ieyasu silently. When Acceptance read the letter, Ieyasu neither laughed nor asked anything.
"It seems that the tone is not light." Ieyasu put on his glasses - they were given to him by Chaya Shirojiro in the first month of this year and were ordered from Kyoka and made by the Shimazu family of Satsuma Domain - and he leaned on the armrest and unfolded the letter.
It's no wonder that the face of the Acceptance Council changed drastically. The letter written by Naoe Yamashiro Kanetsu was very rude from the beginning, almost all of it was ridiculing, and he completely treated the Acceptance as an ignorant child.
"There are indeed many rumors about my leader in the world, which aroused the suspicion of the Zuofu. It is not surprising. During Taikaku's lifetime, there were constant rumors between the capital and Fushimi. What's more, Aizu is located in a remote place and my lord is a junior. Master
It’s really too much…”
Since the master who is six years older than me is called a senior, what does Cheng Cheng mean to him? Out of friendship between teenagers, Cheng Cheng went to great lengths to write this letter to me, but I ridiculed Cheng Cheng as a dog.
Biting a mouse is so arrogant!
When Jing Sheng saw this, he smiled and said: "Master, abbot, that is not a letter written to you. I knew you would also read that letter, so I wrote it like that on purpose. Master, I must be very annoyed."
." After that, I read it with a smile on my face.
But that can't be just your wishful thinking. It's possible that I am full of anger, and I am friends with you on the surface. I will wait until I lure your main force to Oshu, and then I will show my talents and stop them with all my strength. At this time, you may be able to
We will really fall into the dilemma of fighting on two fronts."
"Having said that, the war can be launched at will. It is necessary to retreat and attack Shimosugi while avoiding conflicts with the Jibu. That is what you want Ina Chu and Sado to consider.
Tong Xue smiled slightly, but did not accept the answer. Instead, he continued to this young master: "The letter said a few things: first, let Ina Tadashi not worry. Seventh, the Zuofu just changed the territory the year after tomorrow.
I immediately withdrew from the capital. The worst thing is that when I came back, I was asked to withdraw from the capital again, for fear of delaying my political affairs. Therefore, I think it is completely understandable that even handling my own government affairs is considered to have different intentions."
The letter stated that the delay in retreating from the capital was entirely due to military preparations. The samurai in the capital are now fascinated by the exquisite Xiaoming porcelain, silk, glass and other famous items sold in Beijing, while the samurai in the countryside are preparing guns, bows and arrows. Then
It must be that the people's sentiments are the same, but their customs are different.
"Yes!" Zhengxin turned to the book and said, "In your opinion, the villain has already made up his mind."
Assuming that Naoe Kanetsugu has seen through and I am not really loyal to the Shimosugi family, I will pretend to be an enemy of the villain, anger the villain, and ask the villain to send troops. In this way, the administration will definitely fall into the trap, and immediately
Take the lead in sending out troops, and cooperate with the Shimosugi clan, so that both sides of you in Kanto and Kinki are involved in war, and you can take care of each other."
"Therefore, the sentence written in the junior master's letter, 'The rise and fall of the Shimosugi family depends on this', makes sense. Even if it is a decisive battle, and the villain sends troops as soon as Duojun orders it, it will cost me at least one million dan.
If I make my master pay a price of one million dan, just to show off my weak words, then Naoeyama Castle Keeper can be called a loyal minister... I have already said my words, little man." Masanobu nodded to Jing Sheng.
It is a foregone conclusion that we will send troops to conquer. Of course, it seems unclear whether the real enemy is the famous Shimosugi family or the newly risen Ishida Hachinari.
"Whether I want to help the villain, or I just want to fight to the death with you, Aizu will definitely be safe. Judging from the current situation, in the eyes of the world, as long as the Zuofu agrees to come to Kosaka, it is not the responsibility of this important regent.
Order, I can escape that crime no matter what."
"The villain has a clear lesson."
One of the words of this young master Masanobu speaks to Jingsheng's thoughts. Jingsheng doesn't even have any regrets - it's time for Masanobu to speak, but he should worry about Ina Books, but Ina Tadashi's acceptance can make people worry, although I also feel the same now
Tong Xue, but after all, I have had little contact with Ba Cheng and other close friends. Once this matter is leaked by me, I will not be in trouble.
Zhengxin had a smile on his face. It seemed that I was the only one who understood what Jing Sheng meant: "Yes, it's true. Your understanding may not be correct..."
"This shows that I am indeed an admirable person with small abilities! But for the Shimosugi clan, I have become a loyal minister... My ability is smaller than that of my master, Shimosuzufu."
"The villain means..."
Shushidao was shocked. Acceptance was even more frightened. I said "Ah" and stretched my neck, like a child who was at a loss. When Jing Sheng heard Acceptance's exclamation, he moved his eyes to my face: "
Are you saying that Yamashiro saw through your mind, or did he write that way based on his knowledge?"
"It's wrong..."
Zheng Xin finished speaking calmly. Although Shu and Cheng were shocked by what they heard, they both breathed a sigh of relief: "It doesn't make sense. In this way, Naoeyama Castle Shou has become the villain's assistant."
When I opened the letter and read it, Toyokoji felt his whole body stiffen for the first time. This was the first time I saw such a cowardly and covert letter. Kanetsugu, who called his master "senior", was really
He completely ignored Ieyasu Kagekatsu, the leader of the Seven Elders.
I also asked, considering the strength of the Xiashan family, what kind of armaments should the Zuofu have? It would be a big mistake to be afraid of even the armaments that the Xiashan family has prepared to match their status.
"Oh? I believe it is true?"
At this point, Zhengxin lowered his head, clearly considering further words. "In that case, we appeared to be enemies with you, which shows that we have two considerations: first, to be honest and to govern the department.
Others join forces to challenge you; the seventh is to deliberately pretend to be your enemy and secretly help the villain to make the final decision..."
"Conquer Xia Shan." Zhengxin lowered his voice consciously and glanced at Tong Xue slowly.
"Ah?" Waiting for the response from Major Sado, Chengcheng, who was pale and trembling all over, stretched his neck and asked hoarsely: "Tokugawa... actually praised me for such polite words?"
PS: As you readers can see, although I am currently in charge of the capital, I have managed eight strategic directions, Japan in the east, Bangladesh in the south, and Yarkand in the west. Your original idea was to describe it completely according to the timeline.
, but after writing a paragraph, I feel that the reading may not be a bit messy (although you don’t have an outline, you are messy), so I am not sure now. Is it worse to write it in one direction and one direction?
Tong Xue laughed a little, and everyone laughed too. After laughing, Jing Sheng threw the letter to Zheng Xin: "At worst, it won't be helpful to him if he reads it."
Jing Sheng smiled with anger: "Sado, why does he always think the best of others? Whether it's you or Naoeyama Castle."
"Please forgive me for being rude," Chengdu suddenly interrupted, "Naoe Kanetsugu is so polite, but he wants to secretly help Tong Xue, a villain? How is this possible?"
"The villain also suspects that Zuofu is incapable of small things."
"The book is older than him. He can say whatever he thinks."
Whether it is building roads or building bridges, they are just steps to prepare for military preparations. As for the fact that Japan will send troops to Korea again next year or the year before last, who would doubt it? The victory of the Conquest of Korea has not yet explained the huge gap in strength between Japan and Ming.
Xiao, today's Japan is wrong because it was defeated by Xiao Ming, and it is actually ridiculous to talk about sending troops again.
Chengcheng was even more confused: "What can I do if I know Tokugawa's mind?"
"Of course. I said, they will only doubt Hori Hideji's one-sided words, which is completely misleading you, Tongxue Jingsheng. Are they loyal ministers of Ieyasu or sycophants? Let you think about it. Hahahaha, Sado, tell him himself, what is he?
Is he Ieyasu's sycophant or Ieyasu's loyal minister?" Jing Sheng said jokingly.
This young master Masanobu scratched his temples and smiled bitterly: "It's really embarrassing! Judging from the statement in that letter, Sakakibara and others have been pretending to be loyal ministers for decades. It is really difficult. Yes, since we are here
I'm not even that old yet, and I'm afraid I don't have much left in my life, so let's pretend to be bad in the first few years and put in more trouble."
"Yes! The poor monk wanted to tear it into pieces after reading it halfway."
What makes the book even more astonished is what is said at the end of the letter: "If there is no need to argue, your master is definitely rebellious. It is necessary to withdraw from the capital, and no one will interfere with it. It can only be done without a thorough investigation by Tokugawa."
.Even if he follows Taikaku's last words, tears up the oath, abandons many princes, or even turns against Tokugawa and seizes the sky, what will happen? It will be difficult to escape the infamy.
“Brilliant!”
They will see it. If you attack Aizu and are in the decisive battle with Shimosugi, and the Administrative Department sends troops to Kosaka Castle, what will be the outcome? At this time, you can retreat and advance, and the sky will be stable.
Is the situation completely over?"
"Yes. The most important thing at the moment is to concentrate our strength and attack Xiashan with all our strength. It seems that it is okay for you to personally command the battle this time." Jing Shenghu said with a face: "You have never seen this before in your life.
I wrote such a polite letter... I’m getting angrier the more I think about it. That’s a big trick, you will definitely let me go!”
I picked up the letter and read it respectfully before passing it to Inai Books.
"Does he know how you have been so cautious to get to where you are today? He never expected to experience the hardships involved. Therefore, his words really made your hair stand on end and made you wary."
Jing Sheng nodded hurriedly: "You say it's polite? It's indeed very polite. I've never read such a polite letter since Tong Xue was born."
"But there is no need to feel guilty. It's just a small matter, so you should be more careful." Jing Sheng meant what he said to Cheng Cheng: "I received such a polite letter but ignored it.
The rules in the sky are out of order. Therefore, we must attack the Shimosugi family! This guy in Yamashiro has long seen that if the Zuofu comes to Kosaka, you will definitely send troops to attack him. I know this very well, but I dare to provoke you... Do you think, I
I’m afraid I have nothing to rely on.”
If I made a mistake, Jing Sheng would definitely speak. But Tong Xue just admired the scenery in the courtyard silently. So I continued: "If the other party sees that the villain has made up his mind, he will understand that all the reasons and explanations have been used.
. We have only two options, either apologize and then surrender, or we can resist and fight with weapons."
This is not without precedent, just like when Lord Nobunaga once claimed that Hanbei Takenaka was a strategic talent, but in the end he promoted me to a nickname...
Zhengxin glanced slowly at Jingsheng again. I must have wanted Jingsheng to answer. It was a minor matter, so I was just making assumptions. But Jingsheng kept his words, still squinting, leisurely staring at the late spring sunshine in the courtyard.
I held my head high in embarrassment. Like Mitsuhide, I have traveled in the sky, and I know that there is a barrier in speaking, which may bring safety to myself at any time. Therefore, I was willing to talk about small things on that occasion. Once I got the idea of Jingsheng
, it is impossible to arouse suspicion; but if it seems that the scenery is more important than the intention, there is no way for the meeting to retreat.
Jing Sheng had no choice but to admit: "Furthermore, Sado, his idea is still too far-fetched. Soldiers are deceitful. To defeat a small number with more people is to win. Even if you send troops under the orders of many kings, you will still be able to win."
You may not be able to win.”
"Exactly." Jing Sheng nodded solemnly, still maintaining the smile on his face: "Eighth, the letter said that Zuofu is tired of writing oaths. No matter how little or how much, some people will believe it, so I think this is
I wrote it. In addition, since the time of Taige, Zuofu has been famous for its loyalty and integrity. There has been no change so far. They are no different from special people."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I'm very sorry."
Inai Books secretly glanced at Jingsheng, and I quite understood Jingsheng's fierceness. I thought that Jingsheng would be furious when he saw this letter. However, the reality is that Jingsheng is not only annoyed, but also
He always smiled, even shook his head, and read with gusto, as if he was reading a magnificent novel.
Zhengxin seemed to understand what Tong Xue said, and rolled his eyes, but he didn't say anything less.
Waiting for the answer, Tong Xueqiuci asked: "Little man, what do you mean?"
"What determination?"
"Perhaps so. I also said that the so-called Zuofu has different ambitions is purely slanderous by no one, and you just blindly believed the slander, but you went to find out the truth. It is really not unfair.
This letter refutes the acceptance one by one. The acceptance letter is long and drawn out, and the continuation is painful. The meaning in the article is very complicated. As long as we think it is unreasonable, we would even be willing to be enemies with Jing Sheng. There is no possibility of communication among the seven. Toyokoji rolled up the letter for the first time because he wanted to ask Tongxue what he meant.
Thanks to book friends "You are Liao Zhenxin", "iron_Cb", "Yun Fuyue Yu", "doni", "Lilin00" and "malyvu" for their monthly ticket support, thank you!
"Therefore, this little person believes that Shancheng really understands my mind."
Tong Xue clicked his tongue, glanced at Zhengxin, and said, "Zhengxin, he told the book."
However, Jing Sheng's expression was still very intense. Perhaps I had already expected the other party's reply. After receiving the letter, I said to Ben Shaozheng: "Sado, has Naoe Yamashiro seen through your mind?"
After reading it, Tong Xue put the letter on his hand and said to me: "Sado Mamoru, it seems that Naoe Yamashiro is not an abnormal person. His thinking is slow and his logic is unclear."
"Oh?" the cashier asked in confusion.
Of course, the more prosaic things are yet to come, Sado. I gritted my teeth and sarcastically said to you, "You are really impressive if the Kaga Higomomo incident can be solved smoothly." He also said, Masuda, Kotani and others, I will contact you if nothing happens. .As for Sakakibara and Major Sado, it’s inevitable.”
"Nothing."
"My superiors know the truth and dare to make arbitrary judgments. I can only say this. What is the inner story needs to be determined in detail."
"Haha, this person, am I referring to you, the villain?"
"What Zhengxin said is completely nonsense. How could things be different? The most important thing at the moment is to use the means sparingly to avoid angering the administration."
"Little Master, that's just my wild guess. If I'm wrong, I'm afraid I'll be scolded by this villain... I've decided to forgive the Shimosugi family again, and will send troops in the name of conquering Shimosugi, deliberately leaving Kosaka Castle. To lure the government into action... Of course, that's just my speculation.
"yes."
"That makes no sense." I, Master Zhengxin, didn't look weird at all, but he agreed with his words: "So, I think the villain is deliberately making things difficult for me?"
As Lord Kenshin, the God of War, how can he endure this humiliation? The Shimotsugi family knows the shame of rebellion, so you must be so stupid, so you must worry. However, if Tokugawa insists on listening to the slander, his intentions are right, so Even if I tear up the oath, it doesn’t matter..."
"If Naoeyama Castle Shou understands the villain's mind, for the sake of heaven, I think I will help the villain with all my heart. Therefore, before weighing it again and again, in order to create an excuse for the villain to attack Shimosugi, I wrote such a proud letter. A very polite letter, if so, I am really a poor person...
"Don't get upset too early, Shushu." Jing Sheng suddenly scolded, but still looking inside, "Don't speak before you finish listening to Sado's preface."
Shushu felt like he was suffocating with his slowness. Tong Xue once said that one should evaluate the measure of Naoeyama Castle Keeper, but that letter seemed like Naoeyama Castle was testing the measure of Jingsheng.
