Chapter 14 Chapter Fourteen

Tokugawa Ieyasu returns from the palace.Itakura Katsushige had no time to argue with Zhonghui anymore, he waited for Ieyasu to dry off his sweat, put on his unlined clothes, and then reported Zhonghui's arrival in fear. Shengzhong knows that actions can better reflect a father's painstaking efforts than words.Today, Jiakang let Zhonghui follow him into the palace to face the saint, which is the father's apology to the child.Therefore, Shengzhong was not as worried about this matter as Chongchang.Although Zhonghui is competitive, he is not stupid by nature, and Ieyasu will not be swayed by temporary love and hatred.

"Oh. Tell him to come in." Ieyasu asked the servant boy to fan himself with a big round fan, and took a sip of cold kudzu soup leisurely.Seeing that he was not too angry, Chongchang also breathed a sigh of relief: If the Imperial Palace avoided scolding and calmly persuaded Zhonghui, it might be more effective. Zhonghui came in, staring at Ieyasu closely, "Please ask father to keep others away." Ieyasu was in a good mood, but Zhonghui was too arrogant when he opened his mouth. Shengzhong was worried, but Ieyasu said straightforwardly: "Oh, it seems that the boss has something to say. Don't fan, let's all back down."

"Obey." Although not at ease, Shengzhong and his son retreated to the next room together with the others. "Father, have you heard some baseless rumors that have been circulating lately?" "Rumors? There will always be rumors in this world. If you care about them, there will be endless rumors." "But my boy can't ignore it. Rumors say that Zhonghui intends to rebel and wants to overthrow the general and replace him. Therefore, after the battle at Daomingsikou, he never went to the front again." "Oh." Ieyasu let out a strange sigh, nodded and said, "If it is said that brothers are at odds, I have heard too much."

"Baby is quite surprised! And it's not only that!" Zhonghui wanted to continue, but Ieyasu interrupted him softly: "Wait a minute. What did you do to dispel the rumors?" "What have you done?" "Exactly. The point is not the rumors, it's that you haven't done anything to eliminate the rumors. It's your responsibility to silently eliminate the rumors with your mouth growing on the world. President, what have you done to dispel the rumors?" ? Did you really go fishing today?” "My son is going fishing." The competitive Zhonghui leaned out and said stubbornly, "What's wrong with fishing? It's the same as hawking. It's to survey the terrain in case there are any changes. Zhonghui is sincere today. It's fishing."

"Oh, fishing." Ieyasu gently put down the soup bowl in his hand, and continued, "Fishing is not at fault, you young man. But, before that, don't you have anything to do? Back to the words just now , You said that some rumors surprised you, so you should work hard to dispel them. What do you say?" "Anyway, one day the truth will come out." Zhonghui said loudly, "As you said just now, you can't keep your mouth shut. Instead of worrying about those rumors, it's better to take time to improve your martial arts, so Zhonghui went fishing... ..."

"Shut up!" Ieyasu suddenly raised his voice, and shouted, "Who the hell said there was such a rumor? It was you! I asked you what you did, did you, or didn't do? Answer!" "My child said, since people's mouths can't be sealed, it's better to go fishing..." "Sousuke," Ieyasu's voice suddenly softened, "So, you lost to the rumors? You went fishing to relax because of the rumors, is that so?" "No!" "What's the matter? Father wants to know what's on your mind! If you don't know, how can I give you advice?"

"Father, do you also believe in that rumor?" "I don't want to believe it. But when you made such a fuss, I thought to myself: There is no wave without wind. Go to President, rumors must be eliminated and not spread by them. If not, Tokugawa Ieyasu will be laughed at by the world as a fool, and scold me for only knowing big things , but can't see clearly the chaos in his own family; he can interfere with the world's famous names, but he is unaware of the turmoil in his own family." "As expected!" Zhonghui turned his head away, "Father is also suspicious, even if he is not suspicious, he is also unhappy. Is Zhonghui so untrustworthy?"

"Unbelievable?" "Father must have thought that Zhonghui would ask for Daban City, so he was full of wariness. The child still wanted to ask his father's true thoughts." Ieyasu's eyes widened, and he sighed: This son really hasn't given up on Osaka City.His ignorance is even more heartbreaking, how did he know that his current territory is more backward, and it is an important fortress for the shogunate.When Uesugi Kenshin occupied that territory, even famous generals such as Takeda Shingen were helpless.Ieyasu originally wanted to use Echigo's geographical advantage to prevent Date Masamune from expanding to Hokuriku, but these painstaking efforts were not understood at all.Has this son really been taken away by Zhengzong?

Ieyasu was speechless for a moment. Date Masamune is actually the one who most wants to get Osaka Castle, but he wants to get Osaka Castle through Zhonghui.If in Hidetada's time, Date Masamune became the lord of Osaka, imagine what the situation would be like at that time?How can Toyotomi Hideyori, who has neither vision nor strategy, be compared with Date?Holding Zhonghui's ingot in his hand, how could Yida let it go so easily? "Supervisor." Jiakang was so angry that he wanted to cry, "Do you know why my father wants to bring you into the palace today?" "I don't know!" Zhonghui said loudly.He is definitely not a stupid person who is born ignorant, but his stubborn personality does not allow him to bow his head easily, "Because the father does not want to give the child the opportunity to go fishing when he sees the child in Daban City... No, the father probably knows that the child will go fishing at all." When I was fishing, I made a special effort to call me. The child thinks that with the wisdom of his father, he can think of this."

"Zhonghui?" "I heard that Zhongzhi was scolded by his father, and even wanted to die. Once my father becomes suspicious of anyone, even if it is his own flesh and blood, he will never show mercy." "Oh." "It's the same with Xiu Lai. You deliberately married Aqian to him, and when he relaxed his vigilance, you wiped him out. The world says that your city is like the sea, and ordinary people can't understand what you are thinking, doing, and thinking about." for……" Ieyasu stared at his own son intently, and kept sighing: Xiu Lai's death was really a mischief... This makes Ieyasu more sad.It's fine for the son to be a little awkward, but if Xiu Lai's death is involved, it will only make people feel sad.Behind Zhonghui, there must be Masamune instigating, but these words cannot be said casually.

"Boss." "What is it?" "Father is old, maybe he can't know the thoughts of young people, so I want to ask you. Do you know the source of these rumors?" "I don't know! This is completely out of my expectation, and I don't want to know." "I heard that you killed the general's retainer, the blood gun Kuro's brother, on the grounds that you hurt your bodyguard. Is this the source of the rumor?" "The child has long forgotten these things." "Forgot? Do you know what kind of relationship Nagasaka Xueqiang Kuro has with my Tokugawa family?" "I don't know. No matter what kind of retainer he is, as long as he dares to be rude to the child, Zhonghui will not let him go!" "Oh." Ieyasu sighed again, and said, "You are really good-natured. I can't compare to you as a father. But, who taught you this?" Seeing his father's extremely calm tone, Zhonghui was somewhat at a loss: Why didn't his father yell at him?If Zhonghui is more mature, he will find that this kind of calmness and patience is the calmness before the storm, the tranquility before the turbulent waves.However, he still thought that his father had acknowledged his ability and had been lenient to him as before. "My son thinks that my son's temperament is very similar to his father's, whether it's good or bad." Zhonghui thought that Jiayasu would accept him emotionally, so he took this opportunity to say everything, "Zhonghui is unscrupulous. He used to ask his father Asking for Osaka Castle, but that is definitely not out of selfishness." "Oh." "It's all about hoping that the peace created by my father will last forever. Father, do you know how many unpaid wanderers are hiding in the streets and alleys?" "Some say it's 300,000, some say it's 500,000, it should be between the two numbers." "According to Hai'er's research, it's about 400,000." "Oh……" "Fourty thousand, that's equivalent to the total number of samurai under the current shogunate. If left unchecked, there will be constant riots in the world. Therefore, it is necessary to implement a policy that can shake people's hearts. It is precisely because of this calculation that I asked for Osaka Castle " Zhonghui's eyes sparkled, and he continued, "My father didn't agree, and said that even if he asked the general, he would not agree..." "Wait." Ieyasu interrupted Zhonghui, but his voice was very calm, "If one thing is not finished, other things will be involved, which will only make things more and more chaotic. Put aside the matter of the general first, let me ask you, I If Daban City is given to you, how will you manage those 400,000 wanderers?" Zhonghui thought that the reason why his father asked this question was because he had no idea about it, and he also recognized his talent, so he said loudly: "Father also knows that the general is well-behaved and upright, but he doesn't look Therefore, although Zhonghui is unworthy, as a general brother, he can make up for the shortcomings of the general. He wants to be the chief executive in charge of overseas affairs. My father also knows that foreigners who come to Japan are divided into two groups. He is a Southern barbarian, and one is a red-haired man. Zhonghui is confident that he can deal with the two parties with ease. Father, look, now the boy is interacting with Sodero and other Southern barbarians, and at the same time he has an interview with Cox, the president of the English Chamber of Commerce. The trust of the two parties is gained. Therefore, through these two forces, the boy wants to send the 400,000 ronin overseas to build Japanese-inhabited cities in various parts of the world. This is the strategy that Zhonghui thought of to save the country through trade. A good policy to govern ronin." At the beginning, Ieyasu was attracted by Zhonghui's words.This son's thinking is lofty, if he takes every step at a time, maybe he can really spread the city all over the world.However, he quickly calmed down and said, "President Shang, are you saying that you want to have friendly contacts with Sodero and other old believers, as well as Protestants in England and the Netherlands, and make multiple deals?" "Exactly. Didn't the father start now? The child is following the father. Zhonghui wants to send those vagrants who live in the streets and alleys to foreign countries to build cities where the Japanese live. Besides, if you want to trouble the general with these things one by one, There may be many twists and turns. That's why Zhonghui wants to enter the city of Osaka and help the general rule the world in Osaka. In this way, within two or three years, the profit from trade can be used to solve the misfortune of the wandering people, and the country's prestige can also be boosted... " Ieyasu interrupted Zhonghui: "Just now you said that you have the confidence to have friendly exchanges with Nanman and Hongmao?" "yes." "Then let me ask you, why do you associate with the Southern barbarians?" "believe." "Oh, what about the red-haired man? You should know that the former regards the latter as a pirate, and the latter regards the former as a devil. The two are like fire and water. As long as they meet, they will fight each other with swords. The two are irreconcilable. " "My boy has a way." Zhonghui raised his head, quite confidently, "We form an alliance with the southern barbarians with faith, and join forces with the red-haired people with force. These are the two keys of the boy." "The red-haired people are newcomers. Everywhere they go, they need to show their power by force." "One party is an alliance based on faith, and there will be no obstacles. But the most important thing is to join hands with the red-haired people. Among the red-haired people, the father only knows that there is Miura's acupuncture needle, but the child is associated with the president of the English Chamber of Commerce and many subordinates. Familiar with the details of the red-haired man." "Oh." "They want to open up new strongholds all over the world, so the navy is strong and the army is insufficient. We should conclude a treaty of military cooperation with them." "Wait a minute, Mr. Shang, are you going to betray the southern barbarians who are allied with faith?" "Haha." Zhonghui couldn't help laughing out loud, "Father is not familiar with the situation in the world. When the red-haired people opened up their strongholds, their enemies were not only the southern barbarians, but also the local aborigines." "I'm not asking this." Ieyasu's face was still as calm as water, "I'm asking, if the Nanman's ship enters the territory of the red-haired man, which side will you help?" Zhonghui chuckled and said, "It's convenient to help Victory. If you lose, you lose. Let it go. As long as you keep the alliance with the red-haired people a secret, you can get news from them before the Southern barbarians launch an attack." .This is the so-called stable advantage.” Zhonghui is very proud.Ieyasu also felt that, as a young man in his early twenties, this idea was not a bad idea. "Father." Zhonghui said triumphantly, "My child thinks you are too cautious. Whether it's the southern barbarians or the red-haired people, they are missionaries and businessmen on the surface, but in fact they are all wolves in sheep's clothing. For these hypocritical wolves, no matter how insidious and vicious they are. Besides, letting the ronin go overseas is of great benefit to maintaining peace in the country. My child thinks that this is the real way to kill two birds with one stone..." Ieyasu raised his hand to interrupt him: "I already know your idea. You said the general is incompetent?" "Exactly. Father, you also know that the general is an honest and honest person who doesn't know how to adapt to changes, and is a veritable gentleman." "Oh." Ieyasu's heart seemed to be whipped, "As expected of the chief executive, you are very accurate. The general is indeed an upright person. What have you asked for?" "He is afraid of his father from the bottom of his heart." "So you're not afraid?" "Yes. I respect my father, but what is there to be afraid of as a biological father?" "Oh. Since you're not afraid, I'll ask you something, just say it straight." "yes." "Overbearing and kingly, do you know the difference between the two?" "You should know something." "The southern barbarians and red-haired people are wolves in sheep's clothing. It's okay to deceive them. Do you think this is domineering or kingly?" "This... this is overbearing." "So, the so-called overbearing is to deceive others in order to win. So what about the kingly way?" "Fathers often tell their children that the way of kingship is to govern the country with compassion and benevolence." "Okay, you still remember. Let me ask you again, is your father's hard work to create a peaceful and prosperous world all his life, is he overbearing or kingly?" "Of course it's kingly." "As a father, I want to promote the kingly way. I say this because I saw Toyotomi Taige's mistakes in his later years. If Taige was allowed to lead the army to fight, he would be a unparalleled hero in the world. But, only because he was originally a domineering People, after Taiping, they don’t know how to use their domineering spirit, and finally came up with the strategy of sending troops to North Korea. Although your idea is good, it is also domineering. My father’s ambition is not to be domineering, but to be king. The general knows his father’s mind very well. To be a humble gentleman." As he talked, Ieyasu felt deeply regretful: If this son was born in troubled times, he must be taught by a tiger and wolf teacher... Zhonghui was suddenly a little unhappy, but this unhappiness stemmed from the innocence of the young son.Because his father said that the upright and rigid Xiuzhong was the one who had truly inherited his ambition and was a real gentleman, which directly made Zhonghui feel like he was on the bone.What surprised him even more was that his father judged his overseas strategy as "overbearing".He didn't have a deep understanding of Confucianism, and he couldn't tell the difference between kingly and domineering.Isn't it a kind of compassion for the common people to solve the problem of homeless people and eliminate the source of wars?Besides, this move will greatly help to maintain the peace that father hoped, isn't it the greatest filial piety?He then used silence to express his dissatisfaction with his father. At this time, Ieyasu said another sentence that made Zhonghui even more unhappy: "Mr. Shang, don't you think your thinking is quite similar to Taige's?" "I don't think so!" Zhonghui said angrily, "Taige's actions are due to his lack of strategy. He let his admonishing ministers such as the layman Qian Lixiu commit suicide by harakiri, and he is not familiar with the situation of North Korea and Ming Dynasty, so he started a war recklessly. Know yourself and your enemy However, he mistakenly thought that the king of North Korea would obediently listen to him and lead the way for him. Before the war even started, he had miscalculated.” Hearing what Zhonghui said, Ieyasu's face tensed up.Zhonghui's comments almost coincided with Date Masamune's thoughts.In this way, no matter how much he loves his son, Ieyasu has to be suspicious——this son has been taken by Masamune. "Besides, the Taige lacks maritime knowledge. If you want to launch a war overseas, you should..." "Okay!" Ieyasu interrupted Zhonghui loudly, "Taige's thinking at the beginning is actually the same as yours. What he thought at the time was that if he didn't have more land, he couldn't support his warriors; if he left the warriors alone, It will cause civil strife...he is roughly the same as your current thinking." "How can there be no difference! Taige's goal is only North Korea and the Ming Dynasty, but the boy's goal is the whole world..." "Whether it's in the world or North Korea, as long as there is war, there will be suffering people. What my father and your brother are thinking about right now is how to create eternal peace without war." "Haha, my father's vision is really too narrow. Even if we don't take the initiative to go overseas, wars will still happen when the enemy comes. How can wars disappear from this world?" "Won't it disappear?" "Of course. No matter when and where, there will be wars. The so-called good people are bullied by others. Just be a modest gentleman who pursues the kingly way, and he will be bullied by others. Therefore, he should be overbearing - didn't my father and elder brother just end up being overbearing? started a war?" At this point, Zhonghui suddenly stopped.Seeing that Ieyasu was so angry and his jaw was trembling, he thought he would be scolded again.Under impulse, he only wanted to speak quickly, and it was too much to comment on his father.But he is not a person with slow emotions, and when he found that he was going too far, he immediately apologized: "Father, my son has spoken too much. My son is just expressing what is in his heart, but he thinks that war is not easy to eliminate." Ieyasu was still staring at his son intently, his big face was still a little distorted.Compared with anger, at this time, his heart was more disappointed. "Father only knows two stubborn people who firmly believe that war will not be eliminated." After a while, Ieyasu said, "One is Sanada Yukimura, and the other is Date Masamune. However, you also hold this statement, and you are the third people." "No, the child is not so sure..." "Zhonghui, you know, a long time ago, I thought that the Buddha and I had the same experience." "Buddha? Father means Shizu?" "The Shakyamuni before enlightenment is very different from the Buddha after enlightenment. However, these are all okay. I think I can understand the suffering in the world when the Buddha abandoned his wife and son and went to practice naked." "what?" "At that time, not only were there years of wars, but there were also diseases in the world. The people were poor, and their eyes were full of misfortune. Even if they could have food and clothing temporarily, it was just a fleeting dream. There was only misfortune in the world..." Zhonghui didn't understand what his father meant, so he tilted his head to listen. "However, the Buddha did not despair. He believed that it must be because people did not work hard enough. He vowed to inspire the world..." "what……" "When I was young, I only knew how to fight desperately. I hoped that one day the war would disappear from this world. Looking at the continuous flames of war, I was exhausted, and I fought desperately." "..." "Therefore, as long as people use their ingenuity, even if the war will not be cut off for a while, it will always be reduced. First of all, you must become stronger, and let people know that if you are a strong opponent, you will be humiliated in battle, so there will be fewer battles. Out of this heart, I join forces with Lord Nobunaga. Lord Nobunaga is in the east, and I am in the west. Soon, the two of them work together, and there is no one in the world. I am like this, step by step, and accumulate strength. Later, I joined hands with Taige , is also for the same reason. But just like this, the war will not disappear in vain. Everyone has his own ambitions, his own desires, and his own thoughts, and it is difficult for everyone to agree. But now, I have no doubts: the world works together , Zhan Luan will definitely be eliminated. If Zhan Luan does not disappear, it can only show that our cultivation is not enough." Zhonghui thought that his father's emotion in front of him was because he was relieved.Ieyasu emphasized his tone, stared at his son closely, and said, "There is no war in the Pure Land!" If Zhonghui is more mature and has a deeper understanding of life, he may be able to find that, in fact, from now on, Ieyasu's thinking has deviated from the usual track, and what he said at this time is not aimed at Zhonghui.These emotions are his deep reflection on his own life. "The pure land has neither suffering nor disease; neither so many seeds of resentment, nor desires that lead to wars... Yes, if there are no desires, what is the lack?" Zhonghui was silent.He felt that instead of going along with his father, it would be better to sit silently and let his father calm down. "The so-called hardships can be changed by hard work. As for the pain, if there is a pharmacist Tathagata who opens his arms of compassion, he can also be relieved. If people in the world can use all the consumption in various disputes and wars to pursue blessings, they will surely Can create a pure land in this ordinary world. And this step... Zhonghui! Do you know what is the first step in creating a pure land?" Ieyasu's tone became very severe, and Zhonghui didn't dare not answer: "Yes, it's peace...and wealth." "Asshole!" "what……" "You don't know anything about what I just said!" "No, baby..." "Hmph!" Ieyasu roared angrily, then shut his mouth again—don't get angry, I'll talk to him nicely to make him understand. Ieyasu's self-control is not so much for Zhonghui, but rather a reflection on himself. "If wealth can make people happy, Taige has amassed so many gold and silver treasures, why can't they seek a day of peace?" "Because he launched a confused war." Zhonghui said.At this time, Zhonghui has become a child, he just wants to make his father happy and please his father. But how could Ieyasu be happy?His face was contorted with anger and self-control, as if desperately thinking about something.After a long time, he said: "If wealth is accumulated through improper means, this wealth must be full of crimes. Wealth accumulated by killing, robbing, and torturing others...how can people feel at ease? This kind of wealth cannot build a pure land. " Although Ieyasu's tone has softened, there is still a certain kind of glare hidden in his eyes.Zhonghui held his breath and remained silent. Ieyasu narrowed his eyes, as if looking for an enemy.He said unhurriedly: "To create a pure land in the world, you must make persistent efforts, surpass your own ambitions and desires, and be meticulous. My first step in creating a pure land is to eliminate war chaos." "Hmm..." Zhonghui nodded indiscriminately.How is it possible to eliminate war?He still couldn't agree with his father, but he didn't dare to say it.Anyway, his father's days are numbered, and his agreement is not flattery to his father, but a kind of sympathy. "I originally thought that after the battle of Sekigahara, the war would disappear. No, I was wrong. Only the two battles last year and this year. But after these two battles, new resentment has taken root. The horror of war This is the reason. People who leave the master's house, people who have their father and brother killed, people who have lost their loved ones... What is terrible about them is not their ambitions and desires, but the hatred in their hearts. Once this hatred If you are entangled with ambition, if you are not careful, the world will be in chaos." Now Zhonghui can't hear his father's words clearly.He sat upright, his legs were numb, and he was exhausted physically and mentally. "At the end of the Sekigahara War, I thought that the gods and Buddhas had been influenced by my efforts, and that my efforts were enough to create a world without war. I didn't give too much to those banners who understood my heart However, the enfeoffments given to those foreign daimyos are even more than those granted by the Taige, not because of their great achievements. In this world, there is nothing that belongs to me. All the territories and people, wealth and Life is something outside the body entrusted by gods and Buddhas. Therefore, the entrustment to them is actually because they understand my thoughts and help me at the right time. This is the return of gods and Buddhas to them. There is also another Meaning: Since you have this ability, the future is up to you. The territory and people, the yearly endowment and taxes handed in are all bestowed by God and must be cherished. At the same time, efforts must be made to eliminate the resentment that may arise in the territory. With this hope in mind, I entrusted the land bestowed by the gods and Buddhas to each of them according to their abilities. On the seventh anniversary of Taige’s death, a grand Fengguo Sacrifice was held. Not only the Nanman people, but even the Ming Dynasty Everyone was dumbfounded. Considering Hidera, in order to preserve his dignity and allow him to become a Guanbai smoothly, I also painstakingly found a two-way strategy, allowing him to be both a public servant and a warrior. In fact, in my heart I'm still blaming myself. In the eyes of gods and Buddhas, my efforts are still not enough. Can you understand? If only to win this battle, you still use your seventy-four old father to go into battle? Everyone knows, This battle can be easily won under the command of the general. However, the general is the general of the people in the world, and he should not be easily killed. I dragged my old and weak body back to the battlefield. Gods and Buddhas have eyes, how dare I take a moment's leisure ?" Having said that, Ieyasu covered his face and cried bitterly. Zhonghui was startled, and turned his head annoyedly - his father was really old.Although he occasionally showed a little bit of vitality, but he was always so nagging, repeating over and over again.It's no wonder that he has reached this age, and he can take it for granted. Zhonghui feels sorry for his father, but why is his father's lecture so lengthy today?His paralyzed legs became so painful that he almost lost feeling in his toes.If Ieyasu ordered him to step back at this time, he might not even be able to stand up.As soon as he thought of this, he found his father's sharp eyes staring at him. "Zhonghui, do you know why I cried just now?" "This……" "Alas! How do you understand? The gods and Buddhas still haven't told me: This is enough. The gods and Buddhas are still severely scolding me for not working hard enough." "Father! How can this matter? The Ronin has failed, and Daban City has also been breached..." "Forget it," Ieyasu wiped away his tears, and loosened his shoulders. "It's no wonder. I want you to understand, because..." "..." "This battle is an accusation against my father. You know, I was going to save Xiu Lai's life, but he committed suicide by harakiri." "It's not my father's fault..." "It's my fault!" Jiakang sternly said, "I wanted to save his life, but watched him commit suicide, which means that my wish was rejected. The one who rejected my wish was not Hideyori, but God and Buddha. " "Oh." "No, if it's just that, I'm afraid Xiu Lai can still be saved. However, the gods and Buddhas are accusing..." "Oh?" "Hideyori's death was a mistake, but the next mistake is not so simple." "What is it?" "You will never understand. That's why I asked you if you know the difference between domineering and kingly. You said that the general is an upright gentleman, a person with integrity. No, but the gods and Buddhas blamed me: the general is also in danger of being domineering. " Zhonghui felt tired again, he couldn't help frowning, and his face tightened again, he felt his father was about to cry again.But Ieyasu did not cry, he stared at his son closely, his eyes gradually lost the color of fortitude, as if he would cry if he spoke carelessly. Zhonghui gritted his teeth, silently holding back his silence—I don't resist my face, I don't want to ask for Daban City anymore, and I don't want to argue with my father anymore.Father is already tired, no, already old, and has become an old man who has to be taken care of by his children, how many days does he have?Zhonghui suddenly reflected in his heart: Before his father went to the "pure land" he often talked about, he must suppress his unhappiness and greet his father with a smile. "Sousuke." Ieyasu changed his address.When he called his son "Zhonghui" or "Chen Qiandai", he must be sternly reprimanding Zhonghui; Father's love for son. Father seems to be in a better mood, Zhonghui thought. "For the sake of my father, I am thinking hard for the last time in this life, thinking hard about how I should deal with the accusations of gods and Buddhas." "This is father..." "Hideyashi committed suicide because of his father's negligence and negligence. I thought that my hard work was perfect, but the gods and Buddhas didn't let even the slightest omission..." Ieyasu forced a wry smile to stop his tears, and then, Sighing again and again, "Mr. Shang, it seems that you have decided that you will never disobey me again in my lifetime." "That's exactly what the child meant." "Ugh!" "In front of my father, any vanity and lies are tricks." "You want to learn from the general and be a dutiful son?" "Exactly!" "Okay, you said that, and in my opinion, you think the same way. You can back off. If..." Ieyasu's voice became more gentle, "If you have something to say to father, father can do it Listen to it." There seemed to be something hidden in Jiakang's words, Zhonghui couldn't help being startled, and said, "No, not anymore. Father, you are tired, take a rest." "You have nothing to say?" "Yes. The boy will leave now." Zhonghui stood up, but because his legs were already numb, he staggered when he got up.He frowned, smiled mischievously, and limped away. Ieyasu didn't look at Zhonghui, he clapped his hands, and Itakura Shigemasa came in.Jiakang glared at Chongchang, and said, "Call your father! You step back!" When Shengzhong came in, Ieyasu was already lying on the table, crying bitterly, "Shengzhong... I... lost another son..." Sheng Zhong said nothing, just pressed his forehead to the ground.
