Chapter 27 Chapter Twenty-Seven

Tokugawa Ieyasu ordered the chief executive Zhonghui to live in seclusion in Fukaya Castle, and then had a secret talk with Doi Toshatsu who came from Edo. journey of.At the age of seventy-four, ordinary people are already lying at home shutting themselves out to pass the severe winter.However, Ieyasu decided to leave Sunfu and go hunting in Edo.When the big names in the world heard about this, they speculated one after another, and there were different opinions for a while. Not only the big names, but even ordinary people are talking about it. "Something is bound to happen." This question is again entangled with rumors.

"Date returned to Sendai and decided to fight the shogunate. I heard that the Imperial Palace came to Edo to raise troops to conquer Date." "Yes. I heard that Date's son-in-law, Sosuke Matsudaira, Mr. Zhonghui, was imprisoned in Fukaya City." "So, although Mr. Shang Zongjie is the biological son of the Imperial Palace, he colluded with his father-in-law and betrayed his father?" "It is precisely because of this that Mr. Shang Zongjie was imprisoned." "During the Chinese New Year, we will conquer Date?" "Edo didn't say that. Date is not someone who is waiting for nothing. Maybe he will strike first, and Edo will become a battlefield by then. I heard that many ronin have gone to Oshu with armor."

"So, the Great Imperial Palace's hunting in Edo is actually an expedition?" "Yes, the Great Imperial Palace said this because they were afraid that people would be in chaos. In fact, it was an expedition." These rumors spread among the bannermen in Edo, and then evolved into other rumors. "The Date Army has already set off from Sendai." "The Echigo army also wants to take back the master, so they set off from Takata." Rumors spread, which surprised the people.Someone even took out the spears that had been collected, checked the bows and arrows, and cleaned the muskets.

According to rumors, the Date Mansion in Edo closed three gates, and the samurai in the mansion were also fully armed and on high alert.The Zhonghui Mansion on the bank of the Asakusa River has also been taken over by Yonezu Kanbei Tianmasa, and his wife Goro Hachihime was sent back to the Date Mansion by Inoue's planner Tosho. Just when various rumors were swirling, Ieyasu left Junfu and went eastward leisurely.He first rested in Numazu, then summoned Izu's deputy officials in Mishima, gave them some instructions, and then crossed Hakone and carried out a big hunting in Odawara. Rumors spread even faster.

In the team going east, Ieyasu rode a sedan chair, followed by three horses, and the guards on the left and right were also fully armed, all the way to Kawasaki.General Xiuzhong was already dressed in a majestic hunting suit, took important ministers and all the banners, opened the military tent with the family emblem, and waited for a long time. Ieyasu got off the sedan chair, and Xiuzhong, as usual, gave a solemn welcome speech. Jiakang ignored it and entered the army account.No matter who looked at it, this was an arrogance he had never had before.But Ieyasu never underestimated Hidetada.Before that, he had always respected Xiuzhong in front of the daimyo, if not for this, Xiuzhong would be looked down upon by the daimyo.

"Xiuzhong." Jiakang sat in front of the Fuji, looked at the important ministers led by Xiuzhong, and said, "I told the chef, but now I have changed my mind." "Father means..." "I decided to live in Takechiyo's Xiyuan. This is also a variable in this hunting." The minister was even more surprised than Xiuzhong.This time Hidetada came with Aoyama Tadatoshi, Ando Shigenobu, Mizuno Tadamoto, Naito Shoji, Ii Naotaka and Yagyu Munemo.Doi Toshikatsu and Sakai Tadayo stayed in the city as guards. "But the boy thinks that the daimyo of Edo will come to say hello to his father."

"Let's meet them in this city then. Although the time is short, I still want to stay with Takechiyo for a few more days. I'll go to Takechiyo's place as a guest." After hearing this, Xiuzhong didn't dare to say more, but said: "All follow father's orders." "Just arrange it for me like this. The hunting route has also changed. The general treats me as an old man who is self-willed, so please forgive me." Ieyasu said this, looked back at Katsutaka Matsudaira beside him, and said lightly, "Zhong Zuo, Show the general the map." "Of order!" Shenglong took out a four-fold Mino paper with a map of Kanto drawn on it from his pocket, opened it solemnly, placed it in front of Xiuzhong, and said, "According to the original discussion with Da Cooking Head, it was originally decided to go to Kasai first." Hunting, but now it starts from Toda in Musashi, and deploys defenses all the way to Kawagoe, Ninja, Iwaki, and Koshigaya." At this point, Katsutaka looked up at Ieyasu, and changed his words: "It's not about deployment, it's hunting. Just follow the direction of the arrow above step by step."

Xiuzhong looked at the map, bowed to Jiakang, and said, "My child understands." After saying that, he turned his attention to the map again. The red line with the arrow points from Koshigaya to Kasai, then from Chiba in Shimono to Togane in Kamiso, Funabashi in Shimoso, and then to Sakura.On the surface, it was Ieyasu's hunting route, but in fact it was to build a line of defense for Edo.However, this line of defense did not pass through the deep valley where Zhonghui was banned, which made Xiuzhong very sad. "My child has already kept it in mind." Xiuzhong said. "How is the hunting going?" Ieyasu asked nonchalantly as he took the barley tea from Ouchi Kanbara.

"Oh... there are a lot of birds in autumn, and sometimes you can see cranes." "Oh? There are cranes, where are the tigers?" Xiuzhong was taken aback, and looked up at Ieyasu.It seems that what the father wants to ask is not the prey, but Date Masamune.However, this is too hasty.He originally wanted to go into the city and discuss with his father, but his father immediately asked anxiously, did he intend to make everyone here listen?So, Xiuzhong boldly replied: "There is some news that is not good for Tiger." "Could it be that the tiger has decayed teeth?"

"Yes. It can be said to be a tiger's tooth, or it can be said to be a tiger's claw... Katakura Ketsuna has passed away." "Ah, you're talking about Date." Ieyasu pretended to be confused, "Keiko Tsuna Katakura was Masamune's right-hand man. Did he die?" "Yes. On the fourteenth day of October, Katakura Jinggang passed away and died in Jiuquan. Date should be very lonely." "What a pity, send someone to express condolences. Have you sent an envoy?" "But... Date kept the funeral a secret." "No matter what the other party is, if you know it, you should send someone there." Ieyasu expressed deep emotion.Date Masamune's arrogance may be slightly frustrated, but there are many other things to do, and he still cannot relax in the slightest.If you are only worried about Date's rebellion, there is no need to make such a big fuss.Shang Zongjie Zhonghui has already handed over his military power, and Changchang Changchang, who was sent by Zhengzong to ask Ban Guo for help, has not been heard from until now.At this time, Katakura Ketsuna died again...

Originally, Xiuzhong wanted to see his father's health condition and advised him to stop in moderation.When he saw him at this moment, he realized that his father was very different from before, and he was always trying to hide his aging. Ieyasu did not continue to discuss Katakura Ketsuna's death. After lunch, he stood up and made fun of the young Ii Naotaka: "Naotaka, you are the leader of the Tokugawa banner. Let me ask you, if the southern barbarian army attacked by large ships Kawasaki seaside, I also crossed Hakone, captured Odawara, and then fought back, how do you stop Nanban and me from coming in Edo? When we walk back to Edo Castle and talk, you can tell me the method of attack and defense, listen Well, if you are negligent, I will kill you." Ii Naotaka responded with some grievances.His method is to ambush the elite bannermen at the Liuxiang embankment, and first take advantage of the dark to enter the Nanman ship moored by the sea.He followed the old practice of fighting in Boduo Bay when the Yuan bandits invaded, waited for the enemy to lower their sails, saw the right time, and drove a small boat to attack the enemy's large ship, and he was able to take down all the enemies. "Don't let an enemy cross the Rokugo Ferry." Ii Naotaka walked beside Ieyasu, answering Ieyasu's question.Munemo Yagyu smiled and walked side by side with him. "But if there is another urgent message at this time: I learned that you left Hikone Castle with your elite in order to defend Edo, and surrounded the palace from behind, how would you use your troops?" "My lord, where is your camp located?" "That goes without saying, of course it's in Junfu." "In that case, you won't be able to pass through Nagoya. Councilor Owari has already led his subordinates to block there." "Are you trying to use other people's troops?" Ieyasu laughed teasingly, "Of course I also know that Furuya is guarded by the Councilor, Naruse and others. But if I borrow a large ship from the Nanban, I can land and surround Kyoto from the sea to Sakai Port. Since Jing Yigu, Jing Yimen has been known as Qin King, so while you are the head of the Kanto Banner, you also serve as the guard of the palace." Here is the seaside, the weather is clear, and the cry of goshawks comes from the blue sky.Ii Naotaka's black beard fluttered in the early winter wind, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. "Haha!" Seeing that Naotaka didn't answer, Ieyasu smiled, "Okay. Get on the horse." "But……" "You don't have to answer right away, go hunting with me. Before arriving at Musashino's Ninja Castle, you have to think hard. If you can't think of a good way, three families will be defeated." "what?" Ieyasu saw that Naotaka was terrified, and said with a smile: "The three families are going to ruin, and Japan will naturally go to ruin. One is the Ii family, the other is the Tokugawa family, and then, the most important royal family. Therefore, how can you be negligent?" ?” Yagyu Zongmo's heart felt hot.From Ieyasu's teasing of Naotaka, we can see his purpose of coming to Edo this time: one is to prevent Date from plotting a change, but this is not all.He also wanted to make sure that Takechiyo was the next Tokugawa family governor. More precisely, he wanted to make it clear to the daimyos, including his own family, the rules of succession.He also deliberately changed the itinerary to test the general and his subordinates' ability to adapt to the situation.It's... just like Yi Naotaka who tested the well just now, he wants to teach his subordinates by precept and example. These are like last words... Zong Ju felt a gust of cold wind blowing through his heart, like wild geese flying across the sky in winter. Ieyasu was here just to hide his tiredness.He only rested in the Bell Forest, and then arrived at Edo Xiyuan that day. Ieyasu entered Xiyuan and met Takechiyo, who was about to turn thirteen years old, and Yagyu Somo was unknown. At that time, around the dispute between Hidetaka and Hideyasu to inherit the family governor, the important officials around Ieyasu were divided into two factions, Okubo and Honda.In Edo Castle now, it is the same as before. The wet nurse Afu naturally supports Takechiyo, while the wife Ae and his wife only like Kunimatsumaru.It is said that Mrs. Yun Afu grabbed Ieyasu's sleeve whenever she had the opportunity, and begged him to take care of Takechiyo.But as far as Yagyu Somo knew, the reason why Ieyasu established Takechiyo was not influenced by others.Although the two sons are brothers, their abilities must be different.In a chaotic world where force is paramount, it is absolutely necessary to use strength to determine pros and cons, but it is different now. "But, how is this different from the world of beasts?" This is Ieyasu's thinking, "People born in a peaceful world must rely on wisdom rather than force to maintain order." Regarding the matter of the family governor, Yagyu Somo had heard Ieyasu talk about it many times.Ieyasu called it "the order of the elders and the younger."No matter how many children there are, they are all bestowed by the gods and Buddhas in the world, and they are the sons of heaven and earth. Therefore, since you worship the gods and Buddhas devoutly, you should not mix personal feelings and disturb the order.This is the basis for Ieyasu's "continuation of his sons".Zongju believes that this is the final conclusion reached by Lord Ieyasu who had many sons, and it can also be said to be wisdom. "If people use this mentality to train future generations, they will be able to cultivate virtuous people. If you don't put in effort, you will be punished by gods and Buddhas." Should pass on the family business to the most virtuous son, parents will also be confused: who is the most virtuous?The important ministers naturally have their own opinions.Since ancient times, family disputes have revolved around the issue of heirs.If a rule is not established for the family governor, turmoil will sprout and expand infinitely, and it will be difficult to ensure peace in the world.As long as the eldest son is not naturally dull, he should inherit the family business, which is in line with God's will. Yagyu Zongmo believes that Takechiyo's ability to inherit the great cause is not due to the wet nurse Fuku, but the rules set by Ieyasu for future generations after careful consideration.Yagyu Zongju later found out that on the night Ieyasu lived in Edo Castle, Ajiang, his wife's favorite Kunimatsumaru and Takechiyo came to greet Ieyasu.When the two sat at the same table to greet Ieyasu, Ieyasu silently carried Kunimatsumaru down from the upper seat, and said, "This is not the place for Ah Guo to sit. Kunimatsumaru is Takechiyo's retainer." Ieyasu came to Edo this time, and the issue of heirs that had been debated before was easily resolved.Ieyasu said that he was going to be a guest at the third general Takechiyo's house. A Jiang and his wife needless to say, the important ministers had to obey.On the first day and night, Ieyasu and Takechiyo lived in Xiyuan together.On the second day, he formally met Hidetada in this city, and then met the daimyos in Edo. "I'm afraid it's because the old people can't control themselves, but I still like field hunting." He said as if nothing had happened, while assigning hunting grounds to the daimyo.This is both an invitation and an order, but it has only one purpose, which is to show that the Guandong guards are indestructible, and to conduct a silent demonstration for Gongtong Taiping. Before noon on the 14th, Zong Ju was called to Xiyuan.At this time, Ieyasu and Takechiyo were together and told Takechiyo that Yagyu Zongmo would be his teacher in the future.The three of them ate together. Zongju accidentally found that Ieyasu looked very tired, and couldn't bear it.He felt that the Great Imperial Palace had to rest for two or three days, otherwise, accidents might happen when he went to the hunting ground. Ieyasu seemed to feel it too, and said, "This is the first time I've been with Takechiyo like this, so I decided to postpone the hunting day for a few days and listen to the master of Zojoji talk about the Buddhism of the Pure Land School." Zongji also wanted to hear the Venerable Master speak about Buddhism, so he could take this opportunity to observe Takechiyo who will be in charge of training in the future.Only later did he realize that the question and answer of the Pure Land School of Buddhism is to teach Takechiyo compassion for the common people, which is different from the art of war.The general is the commander of the warriors, showing bravery and compassion.If you confuse superficial self-cultivation with internal self-cultivation, it will definitely confuse young people. When Zong Ju was about to leave, Ieyasu kept him and said, "No matter how hard it is, Takechiyo will work hard. Can you give in and agree to become an official?" "Official?" "My father once called himself Dan Mashou, but I don't know if he has been officially appointed. Do you really want to inherit the position of Dan Mashou?" Zong Ju was silent.If he concedes, it means losing his pride as a shogun's servant and becoming a Tokugawa retainer. Ieyasu saw that Zongju didn't answer, so he changed the subject: "Okay, okay, you don't need to rush to answer. But, as Takechiyo's teacher, you have to deal with daimyo, so it's better to have a name." After the Dharma question and answer, on the 19th, Ieyasu met Zenzhu who came to Edo from Ashikaga Academy; on the 21st, he set off for field hunting. People in troubled times live cheaply and die cheaply.If the common people make great achievements in battle, they can shine in the family; if a warrior dies in battle, it is glory; It's not easy.Sensitive people often say that "fifty years of life" is a long life.Tokugawa Ieyasu, who is seventy-four years old, is almost like a saint. Yagyu Zongmo was ordered by General Hidetada to protect Ieyasu, but he was attracted by Ieyasu from time to time, and even forgot his duties, wondering why this old man had such amazing wisdom? The first one, they hunted at Toide and Iwabuchi Ferry.Arakawa flows through this place, with several ferries. It is naturally a good hunting ground, and also forms a natural fortress, which can prevent the invasion of northern soldiers and horses. Everyone watched the eagle fly overhead with trepidation.Even at this time, Ieyasu's eyes were not fixed on the sky.He asked people to carefully draw the depth of the river and the changes in the topography into drawings. "It's interesting to remember where the prey is." Ieyasu pretended to be confused, muttered in a low voice, and sat down for a while when he saw the envoy of the temple.They went to Zenko-ji Temple in Kawaguchi, known as Kawaguchi-ji Temple, the local guardian shrine in Sasame Township, eight ri west of Warabi, and Bijoki Hachiman Shrine.There are also Dafuyuan, Kaizen Temple, and Miaoxian Temple. As long as Ieyasu sees a temple that can become a battleground, Ieyasu will give some territory. If Ieyasu hadn't been so careful, he might not have been able to make the war disappear from the world.He is so attached to Taiping!However, what happened when he left for Kawagoe after hunting in Toda and settled down at Kita-in in Kosenba in the southern part of the city made Sokichi admire Ieyasu as a soldier.Kita-in Temple is known as Hoshino Mountain Wuliangshou Temple, which is an ancient temple of Tiantai sect.Nanguangfang Tianhai, who has a close relationship with Ieyasu, is the abbot here.As soon as Jiakang arrived, Tianhai rushed out to greet him. When they arrived at Kita-in Temple, Ieyasu ordered his servants to eat at the temple, and then entered the abbot's room with Tianhai.If Tianhai hadn't asked Zong Ju to go there with him, Zong Ju might not be able to imagine what the two of them had said in this lifetime.This is October in the first year of Yuanhe, and Zongju will never forget it in his lifetime. Zong Ju, as Ieyasu's personal guard, sat on the abbot's porch facing the courtyard, with his back to the two of them, so he could hear their conversation. When there were only the two of them in the room, Tianhai said: "My lord has a definite solution? You must be tired, don't push yourself." Ieyasu said: "It's still not thorough enough. I know it won't work if it goes on like this." His tone was meaningful. Zongji thought they were talking about ways to deal with Date.But the following conversation surprised him and made him a little confused. "There is no precedent for enacting laws and regulations for the royal family and ministers. Ieyasu is about to break ground at the age of Tai Sui." "Yes." Tianhai responded, "What are your lord's plans?" "I remember the master told me earlier that Lai Chaogong once invited the first-rank prince to go east to Erhuang Mountain in Yezhou?" "Exactly." "I'm just a suggestion. I'm definitely not trying to tell the royal family what to do for my own sake. I must leave evidence to prevent future generations from mistakenly thinking that I am a thief who steals the country." "Your Excellency is very reasonable." "Therefore, I have something to ask the master. Please ask the royal family on my behalf. In order to revive the shrines and temples in Erhuang Mountain, follow the previous example, and invite a first-rank prince to come down to the east to be the abbot." Tianhai didn't answer immediately, he remained silent and stared at Ieyasu with sharp eyes. "I have already decided..." Ieyasu said, "When I go west, I will be buried in Erhuang Mountain. In this way, I will become the governor of the Kanto. Therefore, if we want to build another Jialan, please invite the prince to come here to abbot. Because, I was somewhat worried about the imperial affairs. In case of any emergency in Keizan, I arranged Ii there. In order to prevent rebellion by a rebellious minister, I arranged Ishikawa Jozo at Tobaguchi and Kobori Enshu at Fushimiguchi. , Arranged Honami Koetsu at Danbakou to let them collect information at any time. These people also understand my thoughts and are determined to monitor them carefully. They have close contacts with various daimyos and ministers, but they are no longer young. In case things are rushed, It was Ieyasu's fault that the imperial line was cut off before Edo could send troops to rescue, and it was Ieyasu's carelessness that led to the end of the Japanese imperial family." "What happened after that?" Tianhai became more and more calm. Ieyasu's tone became more and more high-pitched: "Just arranging Ii in Hikone is not enough. I want to arrange a son to Kishu. I have to say that my son is reliable, and I will also arrange capable retainers to assist him." "Your Excellency, you mean Lieutenant General Yuan Jiang? That retainer is Ando Naoji with a sword." "Yes, it seems that the master has already guessed it. But just like this, it is still not reassuring. Therefore, I want to invite the first-rank prince to go east. But if there is no proper reason, the world will definitely say: Tokugawa Ieyasu, an old fox, actually Asking the imperial court for hostages is really a vulgar person who doesn't know the state." "Oh?" "That's why I want to ask the master to find a suitable reason. No matter what, the imperial line must not be cut off..." "But, if the Holy Majesty agrees to this matter, will he really invite a noble prince to Erhuang Mountain? My lord wants the prince to go to the mountains of Yezhou to protect him..." "No." Jiakang said decisively, "If there is an accident in Erhuang Mountain, the safety of the prince cannot be guaranteed. I want to build a temple in Edo and ask him to live in Edo. People in Edo, no matter what happens, they will be safe." It can guarantee the safety of the prince." "Oh." Tianhai said coldly, "But building a residence for a first-rank prince will take more effort than building an Edo city, so that's okay? In the capital, there are many monasteries with abbots for the royal relatives and nobles. If it is in Edo I’m afraid it’s not enough to be just an ordinary Qitang Jiajian. Besides, if it’s just an ordinary temple, people will even say that the Great Imperial Palace is holding royal hostages.” Ieyasu chuckled softly: "Don't worry. The shogunate has promulgated the "One Country, One City" decree. Some of the money originally used to build the city can be allocated to build peace. It's like the capital has Mt. Hiei, which protects the royal city. , Kanto also needs to build a temple of considerable scale, which can be called Kanto Hiei Mountain, which can protect the world and maintain long-term peace and stability. If the war can be eliminated, the blood, sweat and money that might have been wasted on the war can be saved. Not expensive." Munemo Yagyu listened, feeling warm all over: Your Excellency is so persistent.In order to compete for territory, warriors in troubled times would only kill each other with wide-eyed eyes.In such a troubled world, why can there be such a heroic man with a broad vision?In the eyes of the world, he is no longer a human being, but a god and Buddha! "My lord said that, how dare I say no. I will try it, and I will go to the capital as soon as possible." Tianhai was also moved, and laughed in a low voice. Originally, when determining the various laws and regulations of the royal family and ministers, Ieyasu consulted with Tianhai, and with Tianhai as the leader, he repeatedly deliberated on the bill.This law is closely related to the administration of the shogunate.If the shogunate is a little lacking in governance, the laws that try to restrain the royal ministers will be suspected of overstepping.Tianhai is afraid that it is precisely because of these considerations that he deeply realizes that Ieyasu and Xiuzhong have a heavy responsibility. The first article of the decree is: "All the arts of the emperor, learning is the first." This article stipulates the way of the emperor. "All arts of the Son of Heaven, learning is the first. If you don't learn, you don't understand the ancient ways, so there is no good government that can create long-term peace. There are clear texts. Although the "Kuanping Legacy" does not fully understand the classics and history, it also has merits. "Qun Shuzhiyao should also be recited. Waka has been handed down since Emperor Kokaku until now. Although there are many words, it is a custom of our country and cannot be discarded. It is recorded in "Jin Mi Chao" and is also a special study." The first article, as a standard for the emperor, pointed out the need for the emperor to study knowledge.It was the book that recorded Taizong's political discussions with his ministers and the deeds of famous officials during the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. Some instructions given to him, including the meaning of public ceremonies, the procedure of appointing officials, the methods of distinguishing the virtuous and the foolish, and the things that the emperor should do and the art that should be known, are all detailed, so they have been valued by successive emperors. "Qunshu Zhiyao" is a collection of words and deeds of monarchs and ministers selected by Wei Zheng, a famous official of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, from many books, which can be used as a crutch for politics. "Jin Mi Chao" is a work left by Emperor Shunde for his descendants, which describes court rituals and various rules and regulations. This law has a total of 17 articles, which stipulate in detail the ranking and appointment methods in the court.The fourth article says: "Even if you are from the Wushe Family, if you are an incompetent person, you should not be listed in the Sangong (Interior Minister, Right Minister, Left Minister) and Sheguan (Regent, Guanbai). The rest are compared with this example." The laws and regulations are quite strict, no wonder the world fears that this is an impolite decree by the ministers trying to restrain the emperor. However, after a long period of troubled times, the court has already broken down, and it must be rectified according to the tradition. Therefore, the formulation of this law can also be regarded as a responsibility.Thinking about it this way, Ieyasu wanted the court to be a model for the behavior of the people in the world, and the testimonials had extraordinary significance. In Tianhai's view, Ieyasu's invitation to invite a prince to the east is revealing his sincere heart hidden behind the law. "Then thank you, Master." Zong Ju heard Ieyasu let out a sigh of relief, and then heard the two of them laughing softly. "Since your lord is so bothered about the emperor's order, I can't refuse. I am also a plant that grows on the land of the emperor." "Thank you. Ieyasu's heart can be relieved again." "However, your lord said that you want to build a temple that can be called Kanto Hiei Mountain. Is there a good place?" "Well," Ieyasu replied immediately, "I heard that Mount Hiei was originally built in the direction of the ghost gate of the imperial palace to guard the royal castle. Therefore, Mount Hiei in the Kanto area of ​​Edo should also be built on the ghost gate of Edo Castle. The direction of the gate is the area around Ueno Terrace, how about it?" "Hehe." Tianhai laughed softly, and he also thought about it, "Yes, it is a good place. In the final analysis, it is Mount Hiei in Kanto, which can be called Mount Dong Rui... Yes, you can also add the year name, such as Dongrui Mountain Yuanhe Temple was built because of Yanwu." When Tianhai said this, he suddenly lowered his voice, "Do you want me to tell Mutsu secretly about this?" Zong Ju was startled and couldn't help but want to turn his head away. Ieyasu didn't answer.However, if Date Masamune knew that Ieyasu had made such careful arrangements for the imperial lineage, Masamune might give up his delusions. "The matter about Date..." After a while, Ieyasu said, "It's better not to let him know about it." "I understand. When you need it, your lord can tell you." Tianhai said bluntly, "And Mr. Shang Zongjie, he is in Musashi now, why don't you stop by and have a look?" Zong Ju listened intently again.This is probably because Zhonghui wanted to apologize to Jiakang through Tianhai.Not only Zhonghui, but also Wulang Baji and Zhonghui's mother, who have been sent back to their natal family, all want Tianhai to mediate. Ieyasu didn't answer. Does Zhonghui plan to meet Ieyasu?This is still unknown to Zongji. After a long while, Jiakang said: "This is my own business. I want to think about it after solving the current urgent matters. I also have some things that I have to do." Tianhai also easily changed the subject, "That's fine. It's getting late, let's have some food..."
