Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 2153 Zong Baikui (卌[-]) Cicada and Praying Mantis
When Honda Zhengxin's footsteps sounded in the corridor again, Sancheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and a heart that had been hanging high for a long time, which was up and down, gradually fell to the ground, and he felt a lot more at ease.

It has to be said that this time the seven generals followed closely behind to Fushimi and had to hunt down and kill him. This only shows that if he was still staying in Osaka peacefully, he must have died in Huangquan long ago.From this point of view, at least he cleverly escaped the disaster of killing himself, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.

"Master Jibu, I have kept you waiting for a long time. My lord wants to meet you immediately." Honda Sadomori said softly, then shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "By the way, the Seventh General has also come, and at this moment, Master Jingyi I have gone to meet you at the pier... It seems that this negotiation may be quite difficult."

Honda believed in this appearance, as if he was worried about Sancheng's safety from the bottom of his heart, and also seemed to be euphemistically coercing.

Ishida Mitsunari remained silent, and Honda Masanobu didn't seem to expect a response from him, he just stretched out his hand to make a false impression, and then turned around calmly.Sancheng followed Sado Mamoru and walked up the long corridor, thinking to himself: Now that we have reached this point, we can only make up our minds to deal with Ieyasu, and take one step at a time.

Even though he imagined this in his heart, the crisis was imminent at this moment, his legs were still trembling, and he didn't know how Ieyasu would treat him.

"Did Jibu come obediently and ask me for help?" If such words really came from Ieyasu, would Ishida Mitsunari be able to bear it?Maybe the other party will deliberately provoke me, and then use this as an excuse to hand me over to the Seventh General. When the time comes—hey, if this is the case, how can there be any "time"?
"I brought Jibu-sama here." Sancheng was in a daze when he suddenly heard Honda Zhengxin say.

It turned out that they had reached the end of the corridor, and at this moment the corridor window opened, and a light suddenly appeared in front of them.On the other side of the window, beside the spring water in the courtyard, calamus bloomed with purple flowers early, and the room was bright and majestic.The arrangement of the spring stones looked familiar. This room seemed to be newly built for Ieyasu, and a fresh woody fragrance came out.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Jibu's saber, please leave it to me for safekeeping." When entering the door, Torii Shintaro said to Ishida Mitsunari respectfully.It is respectful, of course it is only polite, Sancheng can hear Torii's words without emotion, obviously he does not have the slightest respect for himself in his heart.

And when he heard that he was going to hand over the sword, Sancheng couldn't help showing a trace of nervousness on his face, and his knees couldn't help shaking slightly again.Although Sancheng tried his best to cover up such a gaffe, how could he escape Jiakang's vicious eyes?

"Master Jibu, this way please."

The matter has come to this point, there is no way to retreat, so Sancheng has no choice but to pluck up the courage and walk in.However, after entering, Sancheng looked up and was immediately startled.I saw warriors standing on both sides of the entrance, and Ieyasu was also surrounded by strong bodyguards, as if he was going to battle, he was really heavily guarded and impeccable.

"The Chief Accountant has come to ask me for Mr. Zhibu. These arrangements are to prevent them from being violent." Ieyasu seemed to have guessed what Sancheng was thinking, and said calmly before he asked a question.

"Thank you, Zuo Fu." Sancheng said so, but he was very disdainful in his heart: What a beautiful lie, isn't everything under this arrangement just to scare me?As for the violence... It's a joke, the Seven Generals didn't intend to overthrow Feng Chen Gongyi, so how could they be violent at the moment of Taige's Tuogu?
"I've heard what Sado said about the current situation. It's really troublesome. But since Jibu came to vote for Ieyasu, how could Ieyasu obediently hand over the Lord to someone else? Jibu just rest assured, your safety is on Ieyasu."

When Sancheng heard this, he almost doubted his own ears.Just now he was nervous all over, worried that Jiakang would try his best to insult him, but unexpectedly, as soon as Jiakang opened his mouth, he took over all the responsibility for his own safety.

Sancheng said in a trembling voice: "So, this... Zuo Fu is willing to take Sancheng in?" Life and death are at stake, and Sancheng doesn't care about words like "go to" or "take in".

But he didn't care, Ieyasu actually cared.Master Zuo Fu waved his hand and said: "If you say take in, it would be too alien, you and I are both Taige survivors, how can the seven generals take advantage of the opportunity of Da Na's death to start such a big dispute with the Zhibu? Don't worry, Ieyasu will severely reprimand the seven people."

Because I was overly nervous just now, Ieyasu's reaction at this moment was completely unexpected, and [-]% didn't know how to deal with it.Ieyasu's speech was straight to the point this time, concise, clear, and well-organized... But Sancheng was still vigilant immediately, reminding himself that he must not take it lightly: Although Ieyasu's city is very deep, he never let go of the opportunity to get it, how could he at this moment? Let things pass easily?Maybe he wants to sell me a favor first, this is his best trick.

But just at this time, Jing Yi Naomasa hurried in, and before he had time to salute, he had already spoken first: "My lord, something is not good, and the seven generals are very difficult to talk this time... They have to meet the lord no matter what, Negotiate face to face with the lord."

Ishida Mitsunari on the side was nervous at first, but immediately suspected that Naomasa Ii's behavior was also threatening him, so he held his breath and watched Ieyasu's reaction quietly.

Ieyasu frowned, as if he didn't expect Qi will be so persistent, pondered for a moment, and said resolutely: "You are not a child anymore, you should know that I, Tokugawa Ieyasu, has been entrusted by the Taiko, and will never allow it to cause chaos in the world." A private fight happened! You go again and let them wait for my ruling."

"These words have just been said to the seven generals below, but they are all emotional and filled with righteous indignation..."

"So what! In front of me, Tokugawa Ieyasu, how can we allow them to behave like crazy!" Ieyasu's voice was almost yelling at the moment: "If it is someone else, it may be a different matter, but today is Mr. Jibu. They continue to be lawless, how can Tokugawa Ieyasu see the world! Let them go back!"

Hearing Ieyasu's scolding, Ii Naomasa got up and left with a displeased face.When Sancheng heard this, although his face was still tense, he couldn't help laughing in his heart.

Was this incident a well-choreographed drama from the very beginning?

However, just as Sancheng thought of this, Ieyasu had already turned to him and said, "Don't worry, the management department. If they continue to make things difficult, Ieyasu will go out and drink them away in person. I don't think they dare to be rude to Ieyasu." , said: "However, having said that, the Seven Generals' Rebellion must not just go away now that things have come to such an extent. The Ministry of governance must have an idea of ​​how to deal with the aftermath."

"Huh?" Sancheng was startled subconsciously.Tonight, all he was thinking about was escaping for his life first. As for dealing with the aftermath, how could he have any scruples?

However, Ieyasu seemed to think highly of him, and actually asked such a question seriously.Seeing that he didn't seem to have any plans at this moment, he immediately changed to a heart-to-heart tone and said: "Since the relationship between the two parties has deteriorated to this point, it must be difficult to reconcile in a short time. But don't worry, I just leave everything to Ieyasu... But, what should I do in the future?" Ieyasu still wants to hear your opinion on how to deal with it."

Sancheng became flustered suddenly, but Ieyasu came unexpectedly.Yes, things have developed to this point, and it is not enough to just quell the riots in front of us.

"Even..." Jia Kang paused, and then said: "Even if the seven people are wrong, they are all military generals who followed the Taige since childhood, and they all have made great achievements in the past. What's more, they are deeply loved by Beibei. The political office (Ning Ning) is very gracious, and the Beizheng office treats them as mother and child... In this way, they can neither beheaded the whole family nor let them commit seppuku. Once they do that, the world will be in chaos. Therefore, how to deal with it in the future, You have to think carefully about it.”

Sancheng raised his eyes and glanced at Honda Sado who was sitting beside him.Honda Shoshin was squinting his eyes at this moment, looking at Sancheng and Ieyasu in turn.Sancheng couldn't see what the old fox was thinking, so he could only say: "Regarding this matter, if the Zuo Fu came forward and severely reprimanded them with Master Mao Li, Master Ukita, and Master Uesugi, I think they might restrain themselves."

"Well, Ieyasu knows what Jibu means. But if this is the case, I wonder if Mr. Jibu can return to Osaka alone and serve the public with peace of mind?"

"This..." San Cheng was speechless for a moment.Are you kidding me, if these elders jointly reprimanded the seven generals, it would certainly make the seven generals dare not confront them face to face, and maybe they would have to admit their mistakes face to face, but what about after turning their backs?As Ieyasu said just now, these seven generals are not only direct descendants of the Taige, but also brought up by the Beizheng Institute. They are confident, even the five elders dare not really kill them.

What does it mean not to dare to kill them?It means that as long as they carry the five elders behind their backs, they will find a chance to kill him Ishida Sancheng next time!And the five elders could only stare blankly afterwards and give them some mild "punishment".

"Anyway, the Seventh General is obviously on fire now. Once people get angry, they often lose their minds and become desperate... From this point of view, there must be something wrong with Zhibu's thinking at the moment."

At the beginning, Ieyasu was organized and gentle, but it turned out that he had set up a trap for people to fall into... Sancheng finally came to his senses, and couldn't help feeling regretful.

Yes, Ieyasu made such a big detour just to remind Ishida Mitsunari: You and the Seventh General have completely fallen out, and the Seventh General actually has a gold medal for avoiding death because of his relationship with the Beizheng Office, so as long as you dare Going back to Osaka, they may be killed by them at any time, and they won't even get any punishment!
"So, does Zuo Fu have a better countermeasure?" Sancheng asked, staring at Ieyasu.Ieyasu also stared at him, without saying a word for a long time, it was clearly the eagle's eyes playing with its prey, which terrified him.Perhaps Ieyasu was looking at him contemptuously: how foolish it is to have fled into my house recklessly!Or maybe he wants to set some harsh conditions and see how he responds.

After a long time, Ieyasu Tokugawa sighed and said, "Since the Jibu has no idea, then Ieyasu has no choice but to talk about his own ideas."

"Thirty percent are all ears."

"Jibu, the best way for you to avoid the seven people right now and keep both parties safe from harm, according to Ieyasu, is for you to immediately withdraw to Zuo and Yamashiro."

"Withdraw to the territory?"

Ieyasu nodded, still staring at Sancheng: "The Zhibu should know that the real reason why the Seven Generals resent you is that you have all Taiko's love in one person."

"But is this [-]%'s fault?"

"Of course it's not... At least it's not your fault alone. However, there is a saying in the Tang Dynasty: if a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it. When you are alive, when you stand out, you will naturally be jealous. Besides, in the past, you were favored by the Taige, and no one was arrogant. He does his own way, and his attitude towards the seven generals is a bit harsh, isn't that true?

This accumulated over time, and finally led to today's disaster.It's a pity that the only person who can clear up the misunderstanding - Master Taige, is no longer alive today.In my opinion, Zhibu can only retire temporarily, go back to Zuohe Mountain for a while, and quietly wait for the opportunity for reconciliation.What do you think, Jibu? "

Ieyasu's words were like five thunderbolts, and Sancheng was stunned immediately.Regardless of Ieyasu's light words, the key to this is actually the word "retirement" - Wu Fengxing is in charge of the administration of Kinki and the world, and he must live in the central place. If he goes to Sawa Mountain City to retire, he will naturally not be able to continue. Take charge of it!

It's not that Sancheng didn't expect such an ending at all, but he didn't expect that Ieyasu would be here at this moment, using this method to persecute him, he really is a traitor!
Sancheng shouted in his heart: I am incompatible with Tokugawa!However, as the saying goes, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, no matter how much resentment they have in their hearts, they can only say bitterly at this moment: "So, [-]% of them are useless people, and they are not suitable for practicing anymore?"

Ieyasu was very gentle, and said: "No. I mean, if things go on like this, no matter whether the administration is in Fushimi or Osaka, the danger will never be eliminated, and the government affairs will not be handled normally, so it is better to retire temporarily and wait for an opportunity to make a comeback... Zhi They are all young and promising, and there will still be opportunities in the future, right?."

Sancheng glanced quietly at the saber that had been taken away.I said in my heart that if my weapon had not been confiscated, I would have drawn out my knife without hesitation at this moment, and slashed and killed this old thief who took advantage of the fire!

He suddenly understood the current situation: Maeda Toshiie was gone, if he drove him away again, the whole world would fall into Ieyasu's hands.Those fools who followed Taiko since childhood, they thought they were loyal to Taiko, but finally drove me into the trap carefully designed by Ieyasu, and handed over the world to Ieyasu...

Thinking of this, Ieyasu's fat head turned into a devil's head in an instant in Sancheng's eyes.Sancheng really wanted to pounce on him crazily, tearing him apart and thumping him to stop him.

Unfortunately, this idea makes no sense.The many guards around Ieyasu were not just for display, as long as he acted a little too aggressively, these people would be able to chop himself into meat paste with just a raise of their hands.

However, Ieyasu continued to show generosity, and said gently: "Of course, if the Jibu has a better idea, then forget it. You don't need to be polite in the humble house, you might as well speak up."

Sancheng's expression clearly showed anger and murderous intent.It's impossible for Ieyasu to be unaware, but although his tone was gentle, he didn't try to comfort him: "Jibu, if people don't know how to advance and retreat, they will inevitably stumble. Knowing when to be patient is the most important thing in life.

You are now standing at a fork in the road of life, I hope you think calmly.To put it bluntly, Ieyasu has already been forced to experience the difficulties you are facing now countless times... Although the administration has had faults in the past, it is still a pillar of the world, so Ieyasu just persuaded him today. "

Tokugawa Ieyasu's words may have some sincerity, but Sancheng was trembling with anger, and his blood flowed backwards.If he didn't have a sliver of reason, he would have risked his life and rushed towards Ieyasu—I, Ishida Mitsunari, had never been taught such a lesson even in front of Taiko. How dare you, Tokugawa Ieyasu, be a good teacher in front of me?

But at this moment, he also knew that it was not time to turn against Jiakang, so he finally suppressed his anger and said, "It seems that this is the only way to go."

Ieyasu still stared straight at Sancheng, and said: "Of course, if you return to Mount Sawa, Ieyasu can swear that he will keep you safe on the way, and will never let the seven generals have a chance to strike. I can send troops to escort you all the way to your leader .Anyway, Jibu should take a rest first, and it is better to make a decision earlier. Sado, take Jibu to another room to rest."

"Yes! Please, Jibu-sama."

Sancheng had no choice but to bow his head and salute, and said: "The Zuo Manor has a deep friendship, Sancheng will always remember it in his heart. The matter has come to this, Sancheng has no choice but to be respectful rather than obedient..."

wait and see!Let's wait and see!Don't think that I will give in easily!Thirty percent said bitterly in his heart.He lowered his head so that Ieyasu could not see the humiliating tears streaming from the corners of his eyes.

Under the urging of Honda Zhengxin, Sancheng calmed down before getting up and leaving.

Ieyasu sighed and stopped talking.Although he was also very anxious, he really didn't want to reprimand Sancheng any more.

Not long after, Ben Duo Zhengxin came back and said, "I brought the Zhibu to Dongfang Nunnery."

"Are there guards?"

"Sent. If you don't send someone to guard, I'm afraid he will be killed in the mansion."

"Oh. It seems that he is finally willing to withdraw to Mount Sawa. I am worried about the others, so let Xiuyasu and Yoshiharu Horio escort him to Mount Sawa."

Honda Zhengxin nodded, and then asked with a smile: "Does my lord still think that he is a person who can understand your sincerity?"

"Bastard!" Ieyasu suddenly reprimanded loudly, as if he wanted to spit out his long-suppressed unhappiness: "How can these two things be confused? As the saying goes: If a poor bird is in his arms, the hunter will not kill it. I, Tokugawa Ieyasu, will rescue even the world. Could it be that I can't save Ishida Mitsunari? If I don't have such a weapon, how can I win the trust of the world in the future? You bastard!"

Honda was trusting Ieyasu to vent his anger, and when Ieyasu stopped scolding, he smiled bitterly and said, "My lord, who do you want to save the world from?"

Ieyasu was dumb, and after a long while he said quietly: "That depends on who wants to cause civil turmoil in Japan... Japan has been in chaos for too long. In the midst of war, people die every day.

Now that Taige has passed away, and the war has finally stopped, it is time for people to stop fighting and fight, and live in peace, right?It's true that I can't disobey... that person, but I have to force myself to try. "
