A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Chapter 509 8. Uncle’s words of loyalty to the king and ministers

Hosokawa Harugong and Hosokawa Saime also came together to wait for the news. The three men had never given birth to children, so they sat there anxiously. In particular, Heita Koheita and Hosokawa Saime have never even seen a child.

As the saying goes, if you have never eaten pork, you have also seen pigs running away. But sometimes it’s useless to prove that you’ve seen a pig run away. Hosokawa Harugong was just as blind, his son was running for three pictures, and he was standing at the door anxiously listening to the news.

"It's been more than 20 years since the boss gave birth to his adopted brother, why are he still so anxious?"

"Xiaoping Tai, you don't understand. It's very dangerous for a woman to give birth. If you don't do it right, you may not be safe."

"How long have you had your adopted brother?" Koheita glanced at Hosokawa Kaina.

"Your adopted brother was born almost four hours ago. It was so difficult. I still remember his mother's screams at that time."

"It's been four hours, why haven't there been any news yet?" Hosokawa Saime counted the time.

Hosokawa Harumiya and Koheita looked like you were asking me who was going, so they couldn't go in and take a look. How can men with their surnames enter the delivery room easily?

"Come on, let's have a bowl of tea and rice first." Chen San brought three bowls of rice into the house.

"Take a few mouthfuls first to fool me, maybe I'll have to give birth overnight." Xiao Pingtai handed the two bowls to his father-in-law and uncle.

The bowl is filled with steamed barley rice, which is cold and has many bonito flowers on it. It was made by Takeda Harunobu in Qingmizu and sold to Eastern countries. It tastes very good.

Chenzo came in with another pot of hot tea. The tea leaves before Qingming Festival were all sent by Asahina Taichao. After brewing, there was a light fragrance.

Soon, the only sound in the room was the sound of drinking tea and making rice. The three of them were also hungry after a busy day. Smelling the aroma of tea and rice, my index finger moved.

"Chen San, you can send the rice balls to Aji and Qigui in the city later. If there is any news, send them back immediately." Xiao Pingtai thought that the two people in the city haven't eaten yet.

"By the way, it's not just about whether the baby is alive or not. Ask more carefully. It's best to ask every step of the way." Hosokawa Harugong held the bowl and ordered thoughtfully.

After putting away the dishes and chopsticks, and refilling the teapot with water, Chen San carried the things out of the house. Qi Gui's mother came in with another plate of rice noodle dumplings, saying they were snacks.

"Are you about to prepare the quilt?" Seeing that she wouldn't be able to give birth for a while, she couldn't just sit here all the time.

"No, you can go and rest. I'm fine." After all, she is Qi Gui's mother. Although she helps in the kitchen at Xiao Ping Tai's house, she can't really be a servant.

"If anything happens, just shout."

"Um."

After the people left, only three people were left staring at each other. Uncle Tsunari, who was still awake, came out. He was a minister with a certain level of literature and art, and he couldn't get along with an uneducated samurai. After the death of Yamauchi Yoshiharu, there was one less person who could criticize him. Therefore, my days in the mountain were quite empty. Now I saw the three of them sitting there, so I came out to say hello.

"Uncle, aren't you taking a rest?" Koheita stood up and poured a cup of tea for Uncle Tsunari.

"Don't you guys have some rest?" He took the tea and smelled it. He was very satisfied with the Mingqian tea.

"Kingo has never been appointed as Huangmen's Minister." Hosokawa Harugong also started talking when he was idle.

"I haven't returned to Beijing in the past two years, so naturally I have no chance."

"I don't know what's going on in Luoyang." Xiaoheita remembered that Ashikaga Yoshie had announced that it might be possible to come to Beijing and take office.

"Today's public servant is better said to be the puppet of the traitor Miyoshi Matsunaga. I don't know how difficult it is!" Hosokawa Saime also made a comment.

"The officials in Luojing are really forced to do so, and there is a fierce atmosphere of thieves. There is nothing they can do about it."

"The situation in the world is really confusing." Koheta took over the intelligence network of Yamauchi Yoshiharu. If Koheta hadn't known about it, the situation in the world would be really a mess now.

"I don't understand the principles of the Wu family's struggle for victory, but I still know a little bit about the principles of governing the country."

"Please speak." Hosokawa Harumiya made a gesture of invitation.

"It's just one word."

"Loyal!"

"Loyal?" the three of them said in unison.

“The way of loyalty is not limited to the subordinates being loyal to the master, but also the master being loyal to the subordinates.

The king treats his ministers like grass and grass, and his ministers regard him as an enemy bandit. Nothing like that!

Those who serve as ministers should be loyal and brave in serving the public, and should not be afraid of hardships. A king should also treat his ministers as brothers and sisters and take good care of them. The foundation of kingship is when the king and his ministers get along well with each other, each maintains loyalty, the family is stable, and they work together as one. "

I never expected that Uncle Tsunley actually had ideas. This idea echoed the ideas of many thinkers in the late Ming Dynasty to a certain extent.

"It's just like when the prime minister was first prime minister, the three of them were diligent and courageous. How did the prime minister treat you? How did you repay the prime minister?"

Although all of this is based on the virtuous master and the wise minister, it does not take into account what happens when the lord is not virtuous, nor what happens when the minister is unfaithful. It's just a perfect situation, but it does make sense.

"There are also unscrupulous people!" Koheta didn't say anything, but Hosokawa Kainyu suddenly asked this question.

The hearts of Koheita and Hosokawa Harugong jumped sharply. Why do you ask such a heated question?

"It seems that Hojo Sagami invaded the leadership and power, which is treacherous and unethical. It seems that the three good men are bullying the public, and they are treacherous and usurping!"

It turned out that these people were the ones he was talking about. Xiaoping breathed a sigh of relief. From the perspective of the guardians of the feudal order, these people were indeed not good people. If they were caught by Hosokawa Maimei, she would definitely want to kill them with a thousand knives.

"People like this cannot escape death! There should be justice in everything, and those who do evil will not last long." It was rare for Uncle Tsunley to say such harsh words.

"The unreasonable cannot defeat the reasonable! The reasonable cannot defeat the law! The law cannot defeat the power! However, the power cannot defeat the law of heaven!"

"I have been taught!" This answer is in line with Hosokawa Saime's thoughts. The way of the martial arts in the world lies in Ashikaga, and the one he protects is the Yamauchi clan who occupies the way.

"That's right! There's news!"

The four of them looked outside the door. It was the voice of Chen San who was going to deliver food. It should be that Suzyni had given birth.

"Quick, quick, quick! What's the situation?" Hosokawa Harugong asked first.

"It is said that the baby's head has emerged and the birth will be successful soon! And there is no danger!"

As long as the brain comes out during normal delivery, the problem shouldn't be too big. After nearly ten hours of labor, I finally gave birth. It was really not easy!

"Please make another trip and continue to inquire." Xiao Pingtai asked Chen San to go back and keep an eye on him.

"No need to go! It's a little princess!"

Aji almost walked in front of Chen San, within a minute of each other, very close.

"all the best?"

"Mother and daughter are safe."

Aji stood on the porch and drank water from the jar with a gourd. He had obviously run all the way back and drank three gourds in a row.

"She is a princess, very good, very good!"

It's really good. Nothing bad will happen anymore. When he grows up, he can win over another son-in-law for the Yamauchi family. Everyone will be happy!

"Bounce right, hit right!"

Why is Qi Gui also back?
