Chapter 21 Chapter Twenty-One

Amidst the sound of oars on the Sumida River, the mansion of Sosuke Matsudaira Tadaki Edo ushered in a new sunrise. The guest room is facing the sun in the courtyard. When you open the door, you can see the sun shining on the river, and there is a layer of mist floating on the water.The weeping willows on the bank are swaying in the wind, graceful and graceful. There was a scarlet carpet at the door. Mrs. Ida finished washing on the carpet, began to do morning classes, and prayed to God: "The Lord bless my husband is safe." Since Zhonghui's expedition, Goro Baji has been praying like this every day without interruption.But this morning, she felt a lump in her heart. Last night, she was almost sleepless because she received the news that a bastard was born in the concubine yesterday evening.

Of course Wulang Baji hoped to give birth to the eldest son for her husband, but was preempted by a maid who had never met her.She remembered that the woman was the daughter of a country samurai near Kasuga Mountain, called Aju, she didn't say much, always lowered her eyebrows, looking very pitiful.Wulang Baji never thought that Zhonghui would fall in love with her, but she was pregnant and gave birth to a son! Hearing this news, Goro Baji was at a loss for a while: Could it be that he likes that kind of woman?Madam is completely different from Aju, she is cheerful, lively and pleasant.Besides, she also thinks that as a wife, she should be like this.In front of the cheerful Mrs. Ida, Aju is just like a handful of light snow, if you scold her, she will melt immediately.Mrs. Ida thought, forgive her, this is God's will.

However, the wife did not want Aju to raise the child herself.She didn't blame Zhonghui, what could she blame him for?But the self-interest she grew up in a favorable situation can always find an excuse for self-defense: since this son is the son of a husband, she should be raised by herself.She decided that regardless of whether the child is male or female, she must raise it by herself, which is also God's will. After the child is born, tell me right away, as she had commanded.She had thought that when she heard the news of the child's birth, she would no longer feel any uneasiness.But last night, she suddenly thought of something she was worried about, and she started all kinds of guesses, and she couldn't close her eyes until dawn.

The problem was that what was born was a boy.If it's a girl, she doesn't have to worry about taking the child to her side to raise.But if it is a boy, if the child takes over, he will become the legitimate son and may inherit the family business in the future.If this is the case, I will give birth to a son in the future... This thought made her both hesitant and heartbroken: it is not good to deceive others, and it is also not good to deceive yourself. Mrs. Ida wondered, if I adopted Aju's child as an adopted son and I gave birth to another son, would I be able to give equal care to these two children?If you can't do it, you will not only make yourself miserable, but also hurt the other person.

Mrs. Ida was favored by her natal family before, and no one dared to violate her will.She chose to believe in gods because of her self-willedness in her natal family for self-discipline and self-reflection, which is why she prays to God every day. Could it be that I just want to take the child away from Aju?No, absolutely nothing!If so, what face do I have to stand before the Lord?Mrs. Ida, who lived alone in her empty boudoir, couldn't dispel the confusion in her heart. She seemed to see two children who looked like her husband sitting in front of her.She, who was always cheerful, fell down on the ground in despair, and even imagined her appearance like a yaksha when she was angry.

When it was daylight, Madam fell asleep for a while. After washing, Madam asked people to light the musk she liked, and said: "Call Weishang over here." She asked people to call Weishang's mother.Nurse Ogami is thirty years old this year, she didn't bring her from her natal family, but was recommended by Zhonghui's mother, Cha Aju, and now she is in charge of inner court affairs, she is more capable than ordinary men. "Ma'am, are you calling me?" "Yes. Ogami, come and sit down." Wei Shang didn't answer, just sniffed his big nose and said, "This fragrance is too strong. Madam, you like this fragrance." After speaking, Fang sat down in front of Madam with a smile.

"Ogami, I have something to ask you. For my mother and mother-in-law's sake, you should think it over before answering." "Oh?" "I want to take over and raise Aju's child. Do you think it's appropriate for me to do this?" Surprised, Wei Shang said, "My child...the child has just been born..." "Leaving the child with Aju makes me panic. I want to take the child over. Do you think it's okay for me to do this?" Tail opened his mouth halfway, staring blankly at his wife. "Tell me back! Am I qualified to take over the child? If I am not qualified, the child will be unfortunate."

Onoe thought he understood his wife's character.But today's question was too abrupt, she said blankly: "Madam, please repeat. Takata gave birth to a boy, Madam, do you want to..." "I want to take him over and raise him myself." "If that's the case, you should hurry up and find a wet nurse." "I wonder if it doesn't have to be?" "This……" "Didn't I just say that, I don't know if I should bring the child up. There are two things that make me feel confused." "Oh?" "If you pick up the child, the child will become my child."

"Yes. If Madam wants to treat him as her own son..." At this time, the world referred to adopted children as "parents and children".If the child is brought up as the "parent-child" of the main wife, the child is counted as a descendant. "If I give birth to another son in the future, who will inherit the family business?" "This……" "I'm a selfish woman. I want my own son to inherit the family business." "lady!" "Speak straight, don't worry." "Ma'am, these are all your own thoughts, we have never..."

"That's why I want to ask you, am I not a woman who can treat her own flesh and blood as equally as her adopted son?" Ono's face was blank, she gradually understood what Madam meant, but she couldn't immediately answer this kind of question. "You still don't understand?" Madam said anxiously, "If I can't treat him equally, how can I bring the child here?" "This……" "I don't know what to do. I'm afraid that I feel some resentment towards Aju's mother and son. Out of resentment, I want to separate them. If so, I'm really a devil. Tell me, am I such a woman?"

"Ma'am, don't embarrass yourself." "Why do you say the word 'difficult'? Tell me, what do you think?" "Hey! Madame, I'd better wait until your lord comes back." "You mean, I should discuss it with my lord?" "yes." "Hmph! In this case, I will lose to him. I must make a decision before he comes back, otherwise..." At this moment, a maid came to the door, bowed down on the ground respectfully, and said, "There is an envoy from Yida's mansion asking to see you." "Messenger of Date?" The topic was interrupted. Mrs. Date was a little unhappy, but she quickly recovered her smile and said, "Perhaps you are here to tell me the news of your lord. Bring them in." After finishing speaking, she called The maid stopped: "Who is here?" "One is Endo Yahei-sama, and the other is a person I have never seen before." "Oh, it's Yahei. You must have come to tell me when your lord will come back. Let them have a drink. Ogami, you order to go down and prepare the wine." After Ogami and the maid left, Mrs. Ida looked around and said to herself.Sanyu said: "It's late, it's too late. I didn't want to listen to the adults..." Not long after, the maid brought Endo Yahei over, followed by a strange samurai.Endo Yahei is a subordinate of Masamune and is in charge of liaison between the inner and outer courts of Date. "The villain has seen Madam..." Yahei put his hands on the ground. Before he finished speaking, Madam interrupted him: "How are father and mother?" "it is good." "This person is..." "This is Yagyu Mataemon Somo-sama." "Willow?" Zong Ju stared at his wife closely, and said, "My humble servant is the person next to the general." The smile on Madam's face became brighter, she nodded and said: "You must be here to tell me when Mr. Shang Jie will come back. Come, go this way." "Ma'am," Endo Yahei said, leaning down, "I didn't come here today under the order of Lord Date." "Oh?" "The younger one is the secret order of Mrs. Feng Tai. Therefore, the younger one brought Mr. Yagyu who is familiar with the cause and effect of the incident. Mr. Date is not clear about these things." "Mother's secret order? What kind of thing will it be? It's really worrying, so hurry up and say it!" "Forgive me for being bold, but I want to ask idlers to avoid it." "Okay. Everyone stand back and tell Oagee that I won't call her, so she doesn't have to come." Then, Madam leaned forward and asked, "What happened?" Endo Yahei looked around cautiously, and said, "Madam, I'm afraid you will be separated from Kamisousuke soon." He paused every word, trying not to scare Mrs. Date, "This matter It was too sudden, Madam might not be able to accept it. That's why the Madam asked the little one to report first. Therefore, the little one called Mr. Liusheng who is more clear about this matter." Mrs. Ida looked surprised and shook her head vigorously, "You want me to leave Mr. Shang Jie? Hmph! The Lord has chosen a husband for every woman, and it is absolutely impossible to leave her husband!" "Madam." Mihei said calmly, "If you say that leaving your husband is against the will of God, you can say it's a separate residence. No matter what, Madam may not be able to stay in Songping Mansion any longer." "Why?" "Rong Xiao's detailed report. Mr. Shang Jie made a mistake during this expedition and was severely punished." "My lord, he..." "Your Excellency will return to Edo in the near future, but he will not be able to meet Madam. He must stay in a room and think carefully about his mistakes. At that time, Madam, you..." "Wait. Could it be that mother asked you to tell me that I can't force myself to see you, but should..." "Yes, Madam can't feel resentment because she can't meet with adults." "This is really strange!" The lady shook her head vigorously and said, "It's too strange! Yahei, the inner room of the collar just gave birth to a son for him." "It has nothing to do with each other." "No, this must be someone else's conspiracy to separate me from your lord." At this point, Madam seemed to realize something, with a little fear in her eyes, she turned to Zongji.But Zong Ju was like a stone, his eyes were blank and his mouth was speechless. "Yabei." "lady." "What mistake did your lord make?" "There are three." "Which three, tell me." "First, on the way to the expedition, he managed to kill the general's retainers." "Killed the retainers of the general's family?" "Yes. Second, being late in the Yamato oral battle will delay the fighter plane." "It's really strange! My lord should follow my father, how could my father..." "Ma'am, let me just listen to the younger one first. The third is to receive a high salary, but it is not enough, so I ask for Daban; and when the Imperial Palace wants him to enter the palace to face the saint, I go fishing in the river. Ken went together. As the lord of the great feudal clan, it is extremely rude and negligent. Therefore, before the general punished the Lord, the Great Imperial Palace gave the Lord the punishment of 'never meet'." "Never meet?" "Father and son will never see each other again in this life. In this way, it's not Madam's fault that Madam left Sir, it's Madam Chief Jie's own fault..." "Wait, Yahei!" Madam snapped, but fell silent again.At this moment, she realized that the matter was extraordinary, and her face, which was originally full of smiles, tensed up, concentrating on contemplation. "As for the details, please tell Yagyu-sama." Yahei said cautiously, then remained silent. Liu Sheng Zongju suddenly turned his eyes to his wife, but hesitated to speak.Madam loves Zhonghui with extraordinary affection. For Madam, this is an accidental disaster.Knowing this, the more he felt that he should not interrupt casually at this time.But he can also understand Ieyasu's distress: for the peace of the world, the Imperial Palace can only sacrifice his son.In today's world, the power is in Jiakang's hands, but he wants the country to be peaceful and the people safe.Zong Ju thought of his father's painstaking efforts to create the original "Wu Dao Zhi" sword technique, there is a big gain, but there is also a big loss.Because the family is forbidden to enter the official career, Yagyu and his family can only live on the territory of the Sanqianshi Temple that has been passed down from generation to generation.And Toyomasa Okuhara, who won his father's true biography, has disappeared. Jiakang is demanding on himself, tearing down his parents and children, also in order to be worthy of his conscience and the world.But... Zong Ju felt suffocated.This woman is too innocent, she just loves the majesty wholeheartedly, what's wrong with it, what's wrong with it?Why didn't gods and Buddhas rescue them? "Madam understand?" Endo Yahei couldn't help but said, "Master Kamisuke will be severely punished by the general sooner or later, so Madam should leave as soon as possible and return to Oshu as soon as possible. Because the incident was too sudden, Madam may not be able to figure it out for a while. , Mrs. Tai asked the little one to come and persuade you." "..." "Mrs. Tai will not violate the teachings and make you leave the Chief Executive...just a temporary farewell. What is going to be discussed now is how you two should separate." "..." "Madam, is she going back to Edo Date House or Oshu? Madam Tai asked the little one to ask Madam what she means." "I don't know!" Madam suddenly turned to Zong Ju, and said, "The big imperial court punished Mr. Zongjie, why is the elder brother, Mr. General, silent? Are there any differences between Mr. General and Mr. General?" Zong Ju couldn't find the right words for a moment, so he had no choice but to remain silent. "Lord Liu Sheng, you are the general's servant, and you are deeply appreciated by the general. You should know these things. Don't worry, tell me." "This... madam is right, the two of you are a little bit at odds." Zong Ju thought for a while, and said decisively, but looked away. "I really don't get along? I don't even know! Thank you for coming to tell me that my lord and the general are at odds. Since this is the case, I should fulfill my duty as a wife. Yahei, don't mention the words of leaving your lord!" Mrs. Sternly reprimanding Yahei, he turned to Zongju and stared at him closely, which only made him feel chills all over his body, and his heart was fluttering. "They are brothers, so there must be a way to resolve the conflict. If I don't work hard, I will be separated from my lord, and I will lose the way of being a wife. What do you think, Lord Liusheng?" "What the lady said is very true." "If you agree with me, I would like to ask you. I want my father to go and make a statement to the general himself, is it possible?" Munemo Yagyu felt stabbed in the heart.Madam is indeed the daughter of Ida, she looks weak, but she is as strong as steel. "I don't think so." "No?" "Yes. If there is room for maneuver, the Imperial Palace will not make such punishments." "So, the reason why my adults made mistakes is my father's responsibility?" "Madam Mingjian." "If I personally ask the general's wife..." "Not right." Zong Ju shook his head and said, "The general's wife won't see you. If the lady insists on seeing her, the situation will only get worse." "Then..." Mrs. Ida still refused to give up, her eyes were shining brightly, and her seriousness made people feel unbearable, "Then I will go to see the people of Tianhai. According to the cloud, he has gained the trust of the Imperial Palace recently." "Yes." Zong Ju never thought of that expert.If the people of Tianhai can use Buddhist principles skillfully to resolve the depression in Ieyasu's heart, they will surely be able to make a bright future. "It's not a law." Mrs. Ida breathed a sigh of relief, and her face began to relax, showing a confident and strong smile, "Yabei, you have heard it all, I can't leave in a hurry. Go back and tell your mother, the general has not yet Punish Mr. Shang Zongsuke. I will pretend to be ignorant and welcome you back." "But this..." Yabei remained silent when he said this.Regarding this matter, Yagyu Zongmo may not have noticed it yet, but Masamune has already sensed that the situation is critical.He even thought that as soon as he arrived in Edo, he would rebuild his mansion so that he could fight at any time. "You understand? Go back and tell your mother not to worry. My daughter has her own opinion on this matter." Endo Yahei looked puzzled, and took a look at Munemo.He hoped that Zongju could speak for him, but he was afraid that Zongju would see through Zhengzong's mind, so he dared not speak rashly.In fact, Date Masamune heard that Zhonghui was punished when he was passing through Junfu.Hearing this punishment, and hearing that Zhonghui left Junfu quietly for Edo, Masamune sneered, "What cleverness! This must be discussed with the general." But he didn't think about it. And fear, in his eyes, Jiakang is getting old, and Xiuzhong is like a self-deprecator. "The time of the Great Imperial Palace is short." Masamune often said to his close ministers without any scruples, "If he tries to misbehave with me, how can I catch him without a fight? Even if he wants to trouble me, I will delay him for the rest of his life. The Great Imperial Palace is not a rash person , For things that cannot be solved in his lifetime, he will not act rashly." He believed that even if Ieyasu wanted to do something, he would skillfully avoid it, and since Ieyasu knew that he could not subdue me in his lifetime, he would let it go.As for General Xiuzhong, what is he? At present, Masamune wants to repair the Edo Date Mansion, just to deal with the possible arresters sent by the shogunate.At the same time, he also found an excuse for Zhushu, that is, to celebrate the victory of the First World War in Osaka, he wanted to entertain the general at home. "Will the general accept your invitation?" Endo Yaguwei asked worriedly. Cyclops smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if he comes or not, this is called planning for a rainy day. When the opponent is trying to find an excuse to start a dispute, we will rebuild the mansion. The invitation is just to scare the snake. I just want to scare the snake!" He added : "I want to entertain the general. The Battle of Osaka is over. I'm really glad that the world is peaceful. If the general doesn't have the courage and courage to deal with me Date Masamune, he will be afraid of me. If he has the courage to come, I’m not helpless either.” But the close ministers were not as indifferent as Masamune.As soon as they arrived in Edo, they heard from Doi Toshikatsu and others that Zhonghui was punished and that the Date family was asked to bring back Goro Hachime and other rumors.But Masamune didn't care about these things, he just devoted himself to building the mansion and invited the general to the mansion for a talk. "Endeng, why don't you let the people from Xuntianhai talk about what happened, just as madam wants?" Zong Ju said.Endo Yahei folded his arms and fell into deep thought. Madam Yagyu nodded in agreement, and became very excited again, "Don't think about it, Yahei. The Master is now in Junfu or Edo, so hurry up and find out. As long as I know where he is, I will..." Mihei felt that he had to stop her, and no outsiders could intervene in this fact, so he said: "Madam Tai ordered that this matter must be kept secret." "Can't you tell the people in Tianhai?" "No, the villain must get Mrs. Tai's permission." "I wrote a letter to my mother, saying that I was going to beg the Venerable Master. It wasn't you who asked me to do this. It was me, Mrs. Shang Zongjie Zhonghui's wife, who went to deal with the Master for the sake of my husband. It had nothing to do with you. " "This, but..." "But what?" Mihei was at a loss for words, and his face turned red all of a sudden - if Tianhai heard about this, he would definitely pay attention to the gap between Date Masamune and the Tokugawa father and son, perhaps, he would further discover Masamune's ambitions, and instead wake up the general .This matter is related to the life and death of the Date family, and besides, there is Yagyu Somo, the general's confidant. "However, Mrs. Tai has already said, please forgive me, my little one dare not agree." "Oh?" Mrs. Ida was a little surprised, and gritted her teeth, "Isn't my letter enough?" "Yes. The younger one has already agreed to Mrs. Kuang, and Mrs. Kuang also knows that Mrs. Tai believes in religion, and the people in Tianhai are Buddhist believers." "Hehe!" Madam covered her mouth and smiled, "So you are worried about this. If so, there is no need. When I was out of the cabinet, my mother told me that if adults want me to convert to Buddhism, it doesn't matter. Mother is not like that. The stubborn guy you imagine." Yabei became more and more at a loss. At this time, Zong Ju didn't know what to think of, and suddenly interrupted: "It's getting late, Endo, I want to have dinner here, I wonder if Madam can agree?" Mihei was taken aback, nodded with a smile and said: "This is the best. Since it's time for dinner, Mrs. Jing will prepare it for us. The two of us are here... so good." He said, and fell on the ground, Dodged the madam's suffocating questioning. Since the guest said he was hungry, Mrs. Ida could only temporarily interrupt the conversation.Since it's lunch, it's natural that they should be in another room, and the two of them should have some secret matters to talk about. Mrs. Ida ordered her servants to deliver the food for the two of them to a room.It is said that Zhonghui often drank here while throwing his hook out of the window to fish.There is also a red and blue fishing rod on the windowsill. "I heard that Mr. Sosuke often eats and fishes at the same time, he is really impatient." Munemo Yagyu glanced around the room and said nonchalantly. "Ah, my lord helped me a lot." Endo Yahei sat down, just said a word, but shut up quickly, feeling a chill on his skin.If Yagyu sensed something... All kinds of anxiety and gulls singing outside the window all passed through Yahei's heart. "Endo, I didn't mean to help you." "This... but what the lord said really helped me. My wife also has Huan Sheng Ji, who has been competitive since she was a child. Once she wants to do something, she must do it." "Let the servants retreat first." "You go down first, I'm here." Endo Yahei said to the maid.Hearing the maid's footsteps fading away, he turned to Zong Ju with a serious expression, "Lord Liu Sheng, do you still want to persuade Madam to go to Tian Hai Ren to intercede for Master Shang Zong Jie?" "Exactly." "My lord thinks that the Venerable Master can change the decision of the Imperial Palace and the general?" Zong Ju picked up his job bowl and said, "Endeng, do you think you should die?" "Will you die?" "Yes, if this continues, I'm afraid there will be another war. You haven't smelled blood yet?" Hearing this, Mibei's face was as white as wax, "I..." Zong Ju slowly filled the bowl with rice, and said, "Master General just asked me to come and see Mrs. Yida. The general is because of Ms. Qianji who just returned to Edo from Osaka, so..." "Miss Qianji?" "Miss Qianji is currently living in the newly built Qingshui Valley in Edo Castle, but it is still worrying. She may commit suicide at any time." "..." "My lord general was worried that Mrs. Ida would also commit suicide, so he sent me to come and take a look. My wife's affection for her husband should not be underestimated. Mr. Special Army asked me to listen to what my wife has to say. Maybe what my wife said will give us some enlightenment. Zong Ju said lightly, and handed the rice bowl to Mi Bingwei.Yahei has no appetite. Could it be that Yagyu Munemo has seen through my lord's mind?Thinking of this, Mibei's legs trembled a little. "Master Yagyu." "What's the matter?" Zong Ju raised his eyebrows easily while eating. "Just now you said you smelled blood?" "Exactly. If this matter is not properly resolved, the war will resume. If so, the solution that the Great Imperial Palace has contemplated and the general's thoughts will all go to waste." "What does this have to do with Madam going to meet the people in Tianhai?" "Endo, you have also seen that Madam is a woman who strictly abides by women's morals, so how can she have nothing to do with this matter?" "However, if she is allowed to meet the Venerable Master..." "Let Madam go to see the Venerable Master so that she can understand that playing tricks will only bring about bloodshed." Endo Yahei's face paled, and he fell into deep thought. He was afraid of being tricked by Sokichi, but he had no choice but to ask: "Lord Yagyu, please forgive me for taking the liberty. Your lord also knows that my master is rebuilding the Edo mansion. Invite the general to the mansion for a talk, do you think the general can accept the invitation?" "This...if this happens, who knows what will happen?" "This……" "You also know that the reason for the punishment of Mr. President this time is Date." "Oh." Yahei hesitated in a low voice.Munemo Yagyu seemed to know everything from the beginning, and it was best to be honest with him, but the more he talked, the more Yahei felt that he could only pretend. "Your Excellency is well aware of the ups and downs of this, so you think Madam should meet Tianhai people?" "Exactly. If you want Lord Date to change your original intention, you can only turn to the people of Tianhai for help." "Change my lord's mind?" "Currently, the handle of the world is controlled by Tokugawa. It is as solid as iron and stone. How can it be changed by one or two heroes? A hundred years of chaos is over, and peace has come. Only the Venerable Master can make Date Masamune realize the truth. Madam It was with persistence and sincerity that we found the best solution." "Then... So, this time, leaving the boss..." "Of course it's because of Mrs. Date. Not only this, but also Mr. Sosuke's punishment, the construction of the Edo mansion, and the invitation of Mr. General are all done by Masamune. What will happen to my wife if she knows these things? Or should I worry about it?" It is Madam's wish that Date's glory can be preserved." As Mihei listened, the rice bowl slipped from his hands and fell to the ground with a bang: The taste of blood that Zongju said was actually irony... Yahei picked up the rice bowl, and sadly put the rice grains scattered on the ground into the corner.He was so embarrassed that he wished he could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.Zong Ju already knows the world, so why should he cover it up again and again? "My lord is saying that Madam should know the truth of the matter?" "Master Shang Zongjie was punished because of the Imperial Palace's desire for peace in the world. If Madam can pass these words on to Mr. Masamune, then Mr. Masamune will be able to change his mind." "Master Yagyu!" Yahei leaned forward vigorously, and said, "My lord means to separate Mr. Sosuke and his wife this time, not to attack the Date family, but..." Munemo Yagyu nodded slowly, clasped his hands together, "Amitabha! Today is another day of peace." "Oh, so..." Yabei pushed the dish aside and said, "The general knows my lord's real intention to build the mansion?" "Not only the Edo mansion, but also all the preparations you have made in the territory, the general has long been aware of it." "So, my lord can't leave Edo anymore?" Zong Ju shook his head slowly, and said, "You don't have to worry. In order to prevent wars from happening, the Imperial Palace has already decided to never see the chief minister." "My lord. I, Yahei, are also a good man. Please explain to me: The Imperial Palace would rather punish your son than go to war with Lord Date?" "Exactly." "I still don't know. He clearly knows that my lord has always been ignorant of great mercy, he has no gods and Buddhas, and wants to... why would he still choose to punish his son and let my lord go? Is there something else going on here? Please tell me." "Nothing else, it's just because you don't know the Great Imperial Palace. The Great Imperial Palace is always blaming itself, and always feels that his morals are insufficient, which makes heroes like Mr. Masamune not put away his betrayal." "Oh?" "He took Tokugawa as his surname, and he used morality to discipline himself all his life. Because of this, he single-handedly created today's peace. The marriage between him and Date back then was also out of painstaking efforts to make the two families live in peace forever. However, this old man On the contrary, the relationship between the son-in-law and Mrs. Date has contributed to the two minds. The Great Imperial Palace is worried and responsible. He blames his son and cuts off the in-laws. He only hopes that Masamune can change his mind. Therefore, even if the General wants to raise troops to attack, the Great Imperial Palace will categorically stop it. Next, who knows the painstaking efforts of the Great Imperial Palace?" Kang Gong actually felt that Date Masamune did not give up his betrayal, but that he was not virtuous enough, and he blamed himself a lot.Yabei stared at Munemo Yagyu, he couldn't believe that there are such gods and Buddhas in this world. Zong Ju seemed to see through Mihei's mind, and said, "Endo, let me explain the art of war to you. Suppose there are two people who are not evenly matched, one is a master and the other is a novice. Each takes a knife and slashes at other side." "How can you compete like this?" "This kind of situation can be found everywhere. A master can tell at a glance that the opponent is a fledgling, but it is difficult for a novice to see the cultivation of a master." "yes." "Therefore, most beginners think that as long as they are brave enough to die, they can win. The masters have no intention of fighting at all, because they are desperately provoking and cannot dodge, so they have to kill the generals. You said, the two battles in Dasaka are not just such a competition. ?” "yes." "There is a poem in the Tang Dynasty: You will be at the top of the mountain, and you will see the small mountains. I and other ordinary people are mostly like this. The Great Imperial Palace blames itself for killing someone who should not have been destroyed. Therefore, the thoughts of the Great Imperial Palace are not mine. Wait for ordinary people to see what's going on." "My lord, do you mean that the Great Imperial Palace is the master, and my lord is still like a child?" Zong Ju smiled bitterly and said, "I'm just making an analogy. The Lord of Sendai is a hero. But from the state of mind of the Imperial Palace, one of them stands on the top of the mountain and the other lives in the valley." Yahei couldn't help but be silent: That's right, Date wants to compete with the shogunate now, it's like a mayfly shaking a tree.The lord must be persuaded, only to be safe and sound, why bother to seek disaster? At this moment, Wei Shangmao came over to say hello, saying that Mrs. Ida was anxiously waiting to see the two of them. "Tell Madam, we'll go right away." Endo Yahei hadn't made up his mind yet.After Mammy left, he sighed, gritted his teeth, and opened the sliding window facing the river.It was raining outside, and the raindrops fell on the water, rippling. Munemo Liusheng squinted his eyes, looking at the small boat going down the river, the sails on the boat were like a dream...
