Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 2130 Zong Baikui ([-]) Light and Darkness

When Tokugawa Ieyasu said this, Narita Kai raised his brows slightly, shook his head and said: "Zuo Fu's words are wrong."

"Ah, I'm sorry for your slip of the tongue." Tokugawa Ieyasu immediately understood what Kai Fei Ji meant, and apologized: "Misaki-den, Ieyasu is rude."

Only then did Jia Feiji smile slightly, nodded and said: "It is inconvenient for me to come here, I will discuss it with Zuofu in detail later, I am impolite."

Tokugawa Ieyasu also knew that Kaihime's identity was sensitive, so he hurriedly said: "Misakiden's words are serious, Ieyasu saves it." Then he glanced behind Honda Masanobu, who immediately waved his hand and gave an order: "All the bannermen, scatter to protect Misaki." superior."

There may be a few nouns that need to be explained here, which are the three names for Jia Feiji that appeared here just now.

In the beginning, Tokugawa Ieyasu called her "princess". In fact, this "princess" is a translation problem between Chinese and Japanese. In fact, the princess in Japanese is "ji".Many Two-dimensional girls in later generations like to call themselves "XX Ji", which means "princess" in Japanese.

"Ji" in Japanese mostly refers to the daughter of a daimyo, a wealthy family, and a family of branch masters. In Chinese, it is equivalently called a princess-but the "princess" here is different from the "princess" of the royal family, because the official title of the princess of the Japanese royal family It is the "inner prince".Therefore, the "gong" of this "princess" may be more equivalent to "duke", and the full meaning is the daughter of the duke.

Specifically, to call "a certain Ji", it is generally distinguished by one or two characters in the princess's name, or the place of birth, plus "Ji".Jia Feiji naturally belongs to the former, otherwise she should be called "Ninjo Ji".

However, after the princess gets married, she often has a new title, and there are usually several types. Here I only talk about the "Misaki Temple" and "Misaki above" that appeared in the previous article.

"So-and-so palace" and "so-and-so palace" are obviously honorific titles.To be called "Dian" in Japan 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" just means that she has a relatively high bloodline and family status, but it's hard to say what the status and power of the princess herself is.But if it is "a certain palace", don't think too much, it must be powerful, and generally speaking, "a certain palace" means that she has her own palace in a "certain" place.

For example, the Yodo Palace is because Chacha has a palace in the Yodo River.Then, "Misaki Palace" is naturally because Kai Jiji has a palace in Misaki Castle.

Indeed there are.Although Gao Yushi himself has never been to Misaki, or even Japan at all, he built Misaki Castle as a bridgehead in Japan at the beginning, so he approved the Kanto Fleet’s request to build a separate courtyard for him in Misaki Castle , but he actually has other houses everywhere, and he does not lack this one, so he gave this other house to Jia Feiji.

Because of Gao Yushi’s laziness—in fact, he forgot, and he didn’t name this other courtyard anyway, so in Japan, it was directly named Misaki, and Kai Ji became “Misaki Temple”.

So what is "On Misaki"?In fact, "Shang Shang" is also a respectful title, but compared to the unisex "Dian", "Shang Shang" is a respectful title for noble women, which is equivalent to addressing a certain adult to a man.

It was the first time Tokugawa Ieyasu called Kaihime a princess. As he himself said, he was surprised and didn’t pay attention, and subconsciously called out the most memorable title. In fact, Kaiji was already married at this time, so although this title is correct, But it still shouldn't be called that.

So he changed his name to "Misaki Temple", which is a unisex title, mainly reflecting the power of Kai Feiji at this time-representing Gao Yushi and his Kanto Fleet stationed in Japan.

And Masanobu Honda called Kai Ji "Misaki no Misaki", as I said just now, it is equivalent to the female version of "Misaki-sama". Get this.

The subtle differences in this also need to be carefully tasted, which can explain the difference in the mood of the parties.

Kai Ji didn't care about how Ieyasu's bannermen would protect them, she nodded slightly at Tokugawa Ieyasu, then turned and returned to the female sedan chair.However, when the people around her lifted the curtain of the sedan chair for her, she paused for a moment and said without looking back: "Shaosuke Ishida Harabu called a meeting not long ago to discuss whether to get rid of Zuo Fu tonight." ..."

Tokugawa Ieyasu's hand holding the fan tightened suddenly, and the retainers behind him became even more nervous, and Naomasa Ii and others subconsciously reached out and held down the handle of the knife.

However, Jia Feiji's words came again: "But Zuo Fu don't need to worry too much, they failed to reach a consensus."

Ieyasu was about to ask, but he saw that Jia Feiji had already returned to the sedan chair. It would be impolite to ask questions at this time, so he hesitated.But he was worried about being rude, but Honda Masanobu didn't.

Honda Shoshin didn't care whether Kai Ji could see it or not, he went out and bowed to the female sedan chair and asked, "Please tell me, Misaki-sama, is it dangerous for my lord to go to the Dainagon Mansion this trip?"

Jia Fei Ji's clear voice came from the sedan chair: "Don't worry, Ishida Jibu Shaosuke doesn't intend to do such a foolish thing."

Honda Zhengshin heaved a sigh of relief, and just about to thank him, he suddenly heard Jia Feiji chuckle and said: "However, he thinks very highly of himself, and likes others to have unpredictable feelings about him, so maybe he will do something. You will know about the teasing, but don't worry too much."

Tokugawa Ieyasu couldn't help frowning, but Honda Masanobu was silent for a while, and thanked respectfully: "Thank you Misaki for your advice, I will know how to do it later."

This time, there was no more sound from the female sedan chair.

"The Zuo Mansion arrived safely, so I can rest assured. In order to deceive people, Misaki-san just pretended to be Kodai-in, and I had to pretend to be a maid of Kodai-in." Fujido Gaohu said with a grin: "I have been here all morning. Patrolling the streets and alleys, no suspicious person has been found yet. To be on the safe side, go all the way to Maeda-sama's mansion, I have carefully arranged, please leave the mansion with peace of mind."

Gao Hu's grinning appearance was naturally to reassure Ieyasu's entourage. He finished speaking in one breath, and led the way without looking at how everyone reacted.Ieyasu was calm, just nodded slightly, and sat back in the sedan chair.

When Taige was alive, Jiakang and Gao Hu had friendship.Gao Hu is a man with foresight, and he has a romantic relationship with Ieyasu.At that time, Gao Hu was ordered by Hideyoshi to build a mansion for Ieyasu in Ueno Jule.From then on, he was convinced that Ieyasu would become the person in power after Hideyoshi... until he became a pragmatic prisoner in Joseon.

After seeing the demeanor of this great Ming "Guan Bai", Gao Hu felt that Japan was really too small, and only a place like Tang, which is beautiful and beautiful, could produce such flawless characters.

Fujido Takatora had already determined at that time that since Mr. Takakaku had made arrangements for Japan, it would be useless for anyone to object, including Tokugawa Ieyasu.As for later, when he learned that Ieyasu had negotiated terms with Mr. Gao Ge, he was even more grateful for his foresight.

At this time, Tokugawa Ieyasu had already made up his mind. The world had been in chaos for decades, civil wars, foreign wars, countless people died, many families were separated, and families were destroyed. Japan should not continue like this.

For the peace of the world, no matter what difficulties I encounter, I, Tokugawa Ieyasu, will end the troubled times, even if the condition is to surrender to Ming Dynasty, and even inherit the name of the Tokugawa family as a highly pragmatic son.

In fact, seeing the failure of the conquest and Gao Yushi quietly spreading his power, Ieyasu's thoughts have been deeply rooted in his heart, and it has become his mission.Without such a state of mind, he would not have taken such a big risk to come to salute the Li family.

Japan can't afford to fight anymore. If they don't know what is good and what is bad, once the Ming army really makes a big attack, kamikaze will not be able to save Japan for the second time.And at that time, all Toyotomi and Tokugawa can only disappear, and even the emperor and the public may disappear into history.

This is beyond Ieyasu's imagination. In order to avoid such a tragedy, he would rather let the highly pragmatic bastard become the general who conquered barbarians in the future with the name of Miao Tokugawa.

When Ieyasu arrived at Maeda Mansion, Li Chang and Li Zheng brothers were already waiting in front of the door.Ieyasu got out of the sedan chair and walked towards the gate of Maeda Mansion.A ray of sunlight shone over, shining brightly on the clean gravel road in front of us.

Thousands of emotions welled up in Ieyasu's heart.He doesn't want to disregard friendship, if he does, his "mission" will inevitably have a huge flaw.Walking to the gate, Ieyasu's feeling was even stronger.

Li Jia dragged his sick body and sat at the gate.Probably because he was afraid of the cold, he sat on a tiger skin, making his figure even more thin and dry.Seeing how emaciated the former tiger general was, Jia Kang suddenly felt that life was cruel, and he was on the verge of tears, and sighed: "Da Nayan, in fact, you don't need to force yourself at all."

These words are full of surprise and comfort from the bottom of my heart.However, Lijia didn't answer, but hurriedly saluted on the ground, then stood up, staggered to the smooth polished steps, and said forcefully, "Welcome. Going out to greet you outside the door, I hope Zuo Fu will forgive you."

Ieyasu suddenly realized that Lijia had seen two things clearly: first, his time was numbered; second, the general trend of the world was fixed.He has understood the situation in the world, and because of this, the honest and upright Lijia is even more tragic.

Ieyasu stretched out his hand to support Lijia, and helped him walk inward.Li Chang followed behind Ieyasu with a calm face, and walked towards the academy that had been cleaned up earlier.But from Li Zheng's body, he could vaguely feel a trace of murderous intent.Perhaps, Toshicho 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 Li Jiayou is very straightforward. As soon as he arrived at the academy, he asked someone to bring the wine he had prepared before Jia Kang: "Zuofu, this is the last time you and I drink in this life, and it is a farewell wine."

Li Jia suddenly said such a sentence, even Jia Yasu was a little at a loss.He was still able to cope with the pleasantries, and he could comfort the other party, but Li Jia expressed his feelings directly from the very beginning without hiding anything.

"Zuo Fu, my whole life has been under the weight of armor." Li Jia completely abandoned all the pretense necessary for a superior, and became a sincere person.A smile emerged from the corner of his mouth, he held the pot himself, and said with a smile: "The heavy armor can be taken off, but the burden on the shoulders cannot be removed."

"Danayan is right, this is your and my destiny."

"That's why Zhuo Jing asked me to give everything to the Buddha."

Ieyasu nodded vigorously: "Everything is determined by God, what your wife said is very true."

"However, I reprimanded Zhuo Jing."

"Oh?"

"I reprimanded her and said, if you want to believe in the theory of 'Tai Li Yuan Yuan', then what should we do as warriors?"

Ieyasu smiled, patted his knees and said, "Yes, there are shades of 'Tapower'."

"Yes. Zhuo Jing also said that it is not enough to rely on Buddha's name alone, but..." Li Jia glanced at Li Chang and Li Zheng who were sitting next to him, and sighed softly: "Presumably the Zuo Fu has also seen that there are still some people who do not practice 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 work!"

"Yes."

"So, I told Zhuo Jing that warriors are not ordinary people. They converted to my Buddha from the very beginning, and then established their own Dharma, shedding blood and killing people. This is warriors, so don't be afraid of going to hell... I will go to hell too. There are countless people in the family who went to the underworld first... Therefore, when I go to the underworld, I will gather them together and lead them to attack hell."

Ieyasu couldn't help but take a look at Richo and Rizheng.Li Chang sat upright, smiling.And Lizheng didn't seem to understand what his father said, he was a little dazed and at a loss.

Ieyasu picked up the wine that Lijia personally poured, drank it all, and then slowly said: "Ieyasu is the same, when I close my eyes, I will say the same thing to...Xiuzhong."

"Then I'm relieved." Li Jia nodded, and sighed: "Grandpa Kaga, Grandpa Edo... the young master calls me the dearest, there are only you and me in this world... After I die , the young master and my children will all be entrusted to Zuofu."

Ieyasu was silent.

These undisguised words are the entrustment of a dying person, and also the true confession of an old man who is far from vanity and strife, which makes Ieyasu feel even more heavy.

In the previous Li family, although they often said "the young master will be entrusted to you", they never said that they entrusted their son to Jiakang Yunyun.This can be seen as Toshika did not admit that Ieyasu was "a man of the world after the Taiko".But today, Li Jia expressed his true thoughts frankly.

The Li family did not want to disappoint Taige's last wish, but at the same time worried about the family's future.He hoped that both of them could stay safe forever with the help of Jiakang.This must be Toshika's last wish, and he firmly believes that Ieyasu can understand his thoughts.

Ieyasu knew that things were not as simple as Toshika thought. The Tokugawa family could not be a real "man of the world" - he was just a praying mantis, and the big Ming's oriole behind him was the final winner. This point could no longer be changed.

But at this time, Ieyasu could only pretend to accept it happily, drank the wine, and said with emotion: "Since Da Nayan is so honest, Ieyasu assures you that as long as I live, I will not disappoint Da Nayan's entrustment. "

I am alive, and I will try my best, but if I am no longer here... Da Nayan, it doesn't mean that I have broken my promise to you!

"I'm really grateful. Then, Zuofu, please do me a favor and drink this farewell wine for you and me!" Li Jia picked up the jug again, and Jia Kang calmly drank it.Lizheng's expression on the side was complicated. He probably thought that his father was groveling, but his heart was actually in great pain, so he also felt pain.

Ieyasu saw the outside room where the elder of the Li family and his entourage had already started drinking.Hosokawa Yusai sat at the head, and the loud voices of Ma Fayin, Xinzhuang Hoyin, Todo Takatora and others were mixed with the noise of the young generals.

Listening, Ieyasu couldn't help but hold his breath, trying to find Sancheng's voice from these voices.It would be great if Sancheng was here to chat, laugh and drink with everyone!If this is the case, everything in the world will be as the Li family wishes.It's a pity that Misakiden has said before that Sancheng was still discussing how to get rid of himself not long ago, and when he meets Lijia this time, Sancheng may also do something unexpected... just don't know what he will do?

Just as Ieyasu was thinking of this, he suddenly heard footsteps, and at the same time Asano Yuki said loudly: "Everyone, a strange person is here."

"Weird? Who is it?" It was Yukinaga's father Nagamasa who asked the question.

"Jibu. It's Jibu Shaosuke. He knew we were all here, but he still pretended not to know and came to visit Da Nayan."

Ieyasu sighed, probably someone had already invited Sancheng to the outside room.

"Get him out!" someone yelled.Immediately afterwards, someone shouted: "Chop him up!" Someone responded in a low voice.

The harmonious atmosphere was broken in an instant, and there was a murderous look outside.Li Chang, with a tense expression, bowed to Jiakang: "Please forgive my nephew for leaving the table for a while!" Then he hurried to the corridor.

With a gloomy face, Ieyasu stroked his beard vigorously.If it weren't for the favorable family in front of him, he would have made other moves, but at this time he could only endure it.Fortunately, since Li Chang went out, nothing should happen.Otherwise, once there is a dispute with Sancheng in Qiantian Mansion, it is tantamount to throwing sparks in the gunpowder magazine.

Although almost all the people gathered here are people with a heart for Ieyasu, but there are many people who hope that the three will become the leader of the Five Bongs to take charge of the power. Once the two sides get into chaos, it will be a big deal—at least in Fushimi Castle at this time , Ieyasu has no strength advantage.

But he immediately flashed the beautiful image of Jia Fei Ji just now in his mind, and thought: Misaki Palace will never come alone, could it be that she is ready?But that doesn't seem like it should be...

However, she actually knew that Sancheng just called a meeting to discuss killing me. Who knows how much power she still has lurking in the dark?Alas, how many people in today's Japan have quietly taken refuge in that old Gaoge?
"Danayan, it seems that the Jibu Shaosuke is here." Ieyasu said loudly deliberately, "Can I ask Fujido-sama to go and have a look, I'm afraid the Jibu is coming to Ieyasu for something." Obviously, he was implying Todo to check .

"No. Zhibu will come to visit me every day, and it has become a routine." Li Jia said.However, Fujido Takahu had already understood it, and left the outside room.

Ieyasu breathed a sigh of relief - Gao Hu knew that he didn't like to cause trouble, so he would handle it properly.At this time, Asano Yukunaga's loud voice came in from the outside again: "This suspicious guy must have come to find out the truth. He wants to see who is gathered here."

"Haha...the people who gathered here today are all people that Jibu hates." The person who laughed seemed to be Masanori Fukushima, and he sneered, "Maybe he will launch a sneak attack..."

"This is fun! That fox, after losing the big tree of Taige, has never left this guard house."

Ieyasu glanced at Toshika as if nothing had happened.The "Guardian" referred to by outsiders is of course the Maeda Mansion, but how will the Toshi family react at this time?
As if the Li family didn't hear it, they only said to Li Zheng: "Li Zheng, you toast the bar to Zuofu."

"Yes. Lord Zuofu please show me your face." Ieyasu was very surprised to hear that Lizheng was so serious, but he still handed over the wine glass and asked lightly: "Nephew and Shaofu Zhibu have a good relationship, right?"

Lizheng shook his head vigorously, and said, "My nephew doesn't like him, and I don't talk to him much."

"Oh, what about Brother Ling?"

"Brother and father have the same thoughts, Zhibu is very insidious!" Lizheng said disdainfully, and took the wine glass at the same time.

Hearing what he said, Ieyasu was even more curious: Although he was not welcome, Sancheng came here frequently; in addition, when Li Chang heard that Sancheng was coming, his face immediately changed, he got up and left, and Gao Hu who went to investigate did not come back... …

The conversation outside is still going on. "The traitors like Zhibu, Gongbu, and Fukuhara will show them some color one day!"

"Hmph! Taige's funeral is also over. Anyway, sooner or later we have to fight, so it's better to strike first."

"Yes, yes, once the fox is aware of it, he will play tricks. You see, he spends here every day as proof. Fortunately, Da Nayan understands righteousness and will not be fooled by that fox, otherwise he will He will definitely incite Da Nayan with rhetoric and confiscate our territory—this guy who has never been at peace!"

"The accountant should be extra careful, Mr. Konishi's Uto and your Kumamoto are both in Higo."

Ieyasu sighed, feeling a little headache.It is inevitable that factions will blame each other, which will naturally deepen the wound of division.But once the behavior is too aggressive, regardless of right and wrong, if you want to get rid of the other party quickly, you are spending money to buy trouble.Now, such signs have appeared, and Lijia has become a bargaining chip for both parties.

"The purpose of governing the Ministry is definitely not just your house." Another regular voice: "Moori Terumoto is also his prey, and recently, some people in Uesugi's house have frequently used tongue... If you are not careful, you will definitely be bitten .”

"In this case, we have to support..." The voice of someone who didn't know it suddenly disappeared at the end of the sentence.

Ieyasu thought, how strange, even though he tried his best to avoid meaningless fights, as long as the other party made any movement, the calm sea would always have rough waves... Maybe this is the 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 knows that he has a chance to win-the support of Mr. Kokaku is the guarantee of victory.

Just as Ieyasu was thinking about this, footsteps could be heard outside, followed by Todo Takatora's coughing.Gao Hu didn't come here specifically to report to Jiakang, but said loudly to everyone: "Shaofu Zhibu has gone back. He has no other intentions, he just asked Mr. Li Chang a few words and then left."

"Oh, he didn't ask who exactly gathered here?"

"He knew that even if he asked, Mr. Li Chang would not answer. So after a few words of pleasantries, he went back home."

"Hahaha!" Xingchang laughed, and said with some disdain: "I probably feel 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 scout the way. Yes, hahaha."

Ieyasu couldn't help but look away from Toshika.Li Jia looked so miserable with his bones all over.Whether he is sentient or ruthless, it is difficult for him to do anything under the attack of the crowd.

However, although it is impossible for the Li family to do anything more, what about that honored guest in Fujitang's mansion?This Misakiden came to Fushimi from Sakaimachi on purpose, and it is absolutely impossible to just say a few innocuous gossips with herself-although those words can prove part of her strength.

She must have a more important motive, but what exactly is that?
