Chapter 31 Chapter Thirty-One Between Life and Death

That night, Munemo Yagyu returned to Baiida Masamune, and the two had a knee-to-neck talk for about an hour.He was ordered by General Xiuzhong, but he himself wanted to visit Zhengzong. Is Date Masamune, the most powerful man in the world, really convinced Ieyasu, or is he just putting on a show like when he pretended to be a believer in a foreign religion?Yagyu Zongmo had all sorts of questions in his heart.However, this time it was very different.Masamune returned to his residence, still unable to hold back his tears.It was the first time in his life that he was enlightened. Now he knows that there are only two people in the world who moved him so much. "Of course, both of them will pass away when I truly admire them!" He had a premonition of Ieyasu's death, and he could not hold back his tears.

Seeing Ida like this, Zongju couldn't help crying.When the two really know each other, it is when one of them dies.Is this God's mockery of the human world, or is it the samsara of the human world? When Zongju returned to Xiuzhong to report, he had already defended Masamune: "The Great Imperial Palace has a chest like a sea of ​​rivers and rivers, and it finally convinced the one-eyed Yida." When the samurai envoys of the capital, Konada Konakashi Hirohashi and Sanjo, arrived at Sumfu, Yagyu Somoki faced even more tragic events. When Ieyasu heard that the imperial emissary had arrived, he struggled to sit up from his sickbed.The first words he opened his mouth were: "Not good, let Matsudaira faithfully and quickly guard Fushimi Castle!"

Both Xiuzhong and Zhengchun were taken aback, while Cha Aju thought he was in a coma.The one who was even more surprised was Katayama Zongzhe, he hurriedly supported Jiayasu, and said: "My lord, don't get up, just lie down and rest." "Stay back and stay aside!" Jiakang pushed Zongzhe's hand away, "Since all the envoys have come, it seems that I am really seriously ill." "Exactly! My lord is seriously ill, please..." "I'll let you stay aside!" Ieyasu pushed Zongzhe's hand away again, and said to Zhengchun, "The news of my serious illness has spread to the west. If there are criminals, what should I do? First, let Matsudaira stay in the ambush See the city. Even if I am seriously ill, the world will not move at all. This is a thank you to the royal family for coming to visit the sick. Zhengchun, go!"

Ieyasu was not confused, he just issued the order because he was worried that the imperial envoy's visit might shake the hearts of the people. "I understand. I understand. My lord is good to rest." Zheng Chun gave a salute, and then whispered a few words to Zong Zhe, he wanted Jiayasu to lie down. "No!" Ieyasu threw Zong Zhe away with rare strength. "Back off! Zongzhe back off! Zhengchun go!" Jia Kang shouted, glanced at Cha Aju, and ordered loudly, "I want to change clothes! Bring the clothes." His pale face was distorted, no doubt, he He must have wanted to change into a formal attire to welcome the imperial envoy.

"My lord, don't hold on...don't hold on." Zong Zhe cried, "If your lord is like this, the previous recuperation will be in vain...Patients, patients must listen to the doctor's orders." "What did you say, Zong Zhe?" "Patients should give their lives to the healer...obey the healer..." "Shut up!" Ieyasu reprimanded tremblingly, "How do you know my life? I know it best myself." Zongzhe frowned sadly and asked Xiuzhong for help. Ieyasu also said to Xiuzhong: "General, take Zongzhe down. This guy is just a doctor." Seeing the dispute between Ieyasu and Zongzhe at the side, Yagyu Zongji was also troubled: in this situation, who is Zongzhe? Yes, or the Great Imperial Palace?Recently, Ieyasu prefers to make his own medicines instead of Zong Zhe's prescriptions, and he doesn't listen to Zong Zhe's advice on the dosage.In Zong Zhe's view, the Wanbing Pill and Qiyuan Pill that Jiakang carried with him are very powerful, and they are medicines for tigers and wolves on a body that has almost stopped eating.Although Jia Kang also drank the decoction prescribed by Zong Zhe, he did not stop taking the medicine he had prepared.

"My lord, please take less." "Don't worry. I know my body best." Every time at this time, Zongzhe looked helpless.Once a person like Ieyasu is ill, he is no different from an ordinary person. "Forgive me for being bold. The villain, like other doctors, is responsible for the safety of the Imperial Palace." Ieyasu was most dissatisfied with this statement.He believes that although there is a destiny, manpower can also change the world, "Zongzhe, you are wrong, I did not entrust my life to you, I only entrusted my disease to you." When he is in a good mood, he will say with a smile Say something like this.But when the imperial emissary arrived today, the conflict between the two was irreconcilable.

"Zong Zhe, your worry is not unreasonable. But let's forget about today, you go and wait first." General Xiuzhong ordered calmly, Zong Zhe had to back down, but the veins on his forehead were still throbbing. After that, Ieyasu ordered Xiuzhong, Yizhi, Lai Xuan, and Lai Fang to put on uniforms and greet the emissary with him. When the father and son met the emissary, there seemed to be a gloomy ghostly aura floating in the room. General Xiuzhong, followed by Yizhi, Lai Xuan and Lai Fang, sat upright in the hall of the city.At the end of the day, Ieyasu also arrived with the support of his servants, his face was devoid of blood, and there were bead-sized beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, which was very ferocious.

When the Imperial Envoy saw Jiakang, he was so surprised that he forgot to greet him for a while.At this time Katayama Zongzhe also came to the entrance outside the corridor, but could not enter. The emissary said: "Your Majesty is very worried. On the 21st, Your Majesty summoned the Three Treasures Temple to Qingliang Hall, and please practice the method of prolonging the life of Samantabhadra. At the same time, let all the temples and temples pray together. Please feel at ease to recuperate and recuperate as soon as possible. recover." Ieyasu replied clearly: "I thank the emperor Long En. I have ordered Matsudaira Zhongshi to work with the commanders to strengthen the defense above. Please rest assured."

The meeting didn't take long, and the emissary quickly retreated to another room, and Jiakang was also carried back to the room. But this period of time is like a year for the physician Katayama Zongzhe.What is medicine?What is prayer for?Why is the imperial emissary?Why visit?Isn't it all for the recovery of the disease?Why doesn't the Imperial Palace listen to the words of the doctors?What does it matter if a seriously ill person greets a visitor on the couch?What does the Great Imperial Palace take the painstaking efforts of doctors and doctors for? Just as Zongzhe was worried, Jiakang fainted again as soon as he was carried back.Zong Zhe couldn't bear it more and more. Jia Kang was on the sick bed, and he was afraid that he could hear his complaints and grievances.

The emissary returned to the capital in a hurry, and Ieyasu's illness was much more serious than they had imagined. On the night of February 29, Jiakang was critically ill, almost dying.The four Xiuzhong brothers and important ministers surrounded Ieyasu.At this time, a miracle happened. "I woke up." Katayama Zongzhe, who was concentrating on taking Ieyasu's pulse, showed a look of despair, and suddenly whispered, "The pulse has returned to normal. It is really rare in my life!" On the second day, Jiakang drank half a bowl of gruel.His withered body recovered, and Katsushige Itakura sent someone to report: The imperial envoy who returned to the capital reported the condition of the Imperial Palace to the Emperor, and the Emperor will send an envoy to Junfu again in the near future.The emperor hoped that Duke Jiakang would be appointed Minister of the Taizheng while he was still alive.

However, after Ieyasu learned the news, he sent Katayama Zongtetsu, who was guarding the bedside day and night, to exile for incompetence. Everyone was shocked.Although Zongzhe Katayama loves to chatter, he is impeccable in both loyalty and medical skills.Because he is honest and consistent, he will speak unfairly.But Ieyasu should be more aware of his temperament than others, but he wants to exile Zong Zhe.Even if it is said that this is the wayward behavior of the sick, it is surprising. Songping Shenglong rounded the field: "He may have made a slip of the tongue, but his loyalty can be learned from the sun..." "Humph!" "But, he has absolutely no malice..." Ieyasu ignored it, and said to himself: "Exile to Shinano: let him go to Takashima in Shinano, I don't want to see him again." The matter quickly became a topic of discussion in the city. General Xiuzhong didn't have any expression on his face, almost like a doll.He carried out his father's order.The doctors originally thought that General Xiuzhong would deal with Zongzhe, but they were all surprised when they saw this.Zongmo Liusheng also began to worry about Tang Jiakang's meeting with the imperial envoy again, and when he proposed to host a banquet in person, Zongji became more and more worried. Jiakang's health is deteriorating day by day. In the eyes of thousands of people, there is no hope. It is only a matter of time before he dies.If Zongzhe is still there and Ieyasu proposes to host a banquet, what will happen?According to Zongzhe's temperament, he will definitely stand up and stop him.Katen Zongzhe is upright by nature, he will either risk his life to argue with Ieyasu, or commit seppuku on the spot.Jiayasu knew his temperament, so he preemptively attacked and let him go. The imperial envoy came to Junfu with the imperial decree to confer the title of Taizheng Minister, and Ieyasu wanted to host a banquet in person.When he made this decision in his heart, he could no longer keep Zong Zhe, who was simple by nature, by his side.Zong Zhe, who is upright and simple, and firmly believes that medical skills are benevolent skills, how can he tolerate Jia Kang's tormenting himself in his illness?Ieyasu naturally attached great importance to the imperial court, and wanted to declare to the world that he attached great importance to the imperial court. He counted how many days he had left with his fingers, and at the same time reluctantly got up to meet the imperial envoy, and held a banquet to entertain him.Ieyasu believes that this is a gift for a minister; Zongzhe believes that life is the most important thing, and etiquette is second. Katayama Zongzhe stared at his red eyes, and silently headed towards Takashima, a remote place in Shinano.After that, Zongzhe was replaced by Banjing Lv'an. Just as Zongzhe left, the imperial envoy from the capital came back again.Just like last time, the ones who came were Zhuo Guangqiao Jiansheng and Santiao Xishitiao Erqing who came from the Wu family.It was March 27th, and they lived in the new hall of Linji Temple. After receiving the imperial decree, Jiakang and General Xiuzhong held a banquet in the city to entertain the imperial envoy. Both Doi Tossatsu and Honda Masakazu suggested that Ieyasu should receive the decree in the bedroom, and then hand over the banquet to the general and his three sons, Yoshinao, Lai Xuan, and Lai Fang.But Ieyasu was very stubborn and refused to agree. Death is so close that no one can stop it.Ieyasu said that what he fears now is not life and death, but the loss of the "etiquette" that respects the royal family in Japan. "You have to watch carefully, don't forget." Jiakang sat up in front of his three sons, and ordered Cha Aju to comb his hair. If he lies down and accepts the decree, Ieyasu's life may be extended for a few days, but his wish will come to nothing: Ieyasu is by no means Qingsheng Humane, nor Toyotomi Taikaku. Thank you so much.If you can't convey this intention to the imperial envoy, if you can't pass it on to future generations, it is a sin.Ieyasu thinks that he is extremely lucky if he can die on the couch. If he is not grateful because of his luck, he will miss the favor.But how much can his cronies understand his thoughts? The banquet that received the imperial envoy that day had a kind of supreme solemnity and magnificence, which made people feel as if they were not in this world. In the future, Yagyu Sotomo described this situation in detail to the three generations of general Iemitsu. Therefore, when Iemitsu entered Beijing in the eleventh year of Kanei (1643), the emperor decreed that Iemitsu should be made a minister of the Taizheng. However, Jiaguang politely declined on the grounds that he was not competent.He was only thirty-one years old at that time, how could he accept the official position that his grandfather had only sincerely accepted at the last moment of his life at the age of seventy-five?This is an afterword, not a table. Zong Ju often told people about the events of that day: "The strange thing is that the face of the Great Imperial Palace was like a Buddha's face that day. This is by no means an illusion. People with poor souls will have collapsed noses, sunken eye sockets, and skinny bones when they are dying. The face of the Great Imperial Palace that has been immortalized is extremely magnificent. This is probably the difference between those who have passed away and those who have not.” The Imperial Envoy and his party packed up their luggage, set off from the new hall of Linji Temple, and entered Junfu City. Nakahara Shiyi and Qin Xingjian shouted at the front, followed by the envoys, Funabashi Shonagen Hidesho, Karasuma Danayan Mitsuhiro, Hirohashi Naganogen Somitsu, Yotsuji Nagonhirotsugu, and Kono Sensei Miken , Yanaghara Udai Benyeguang, Karasuma Uchuben Koken and others are quite dignified.Kano Okabe's meal was growing, and he followed the team on horseback. General Xiuzhong came to the gate of the city to greet him.When Xiuzhong invited the envoy to the main hall of the city, Ieyasu had already put on his formal attire and sat down. On March 17th of the second year of Yuanhe, the head of the Tibetan right daben Fujiwara Kenxian held the decree, and Shangqing and Da Nayan Hino Zisheng proclaimed the emperor's decree: "Ieyasu, a courtier from Yipinyuan, is suitable for the post of Minister of the Taizheng." As a general, there were only three people who were appointed as the Minister of the Taizheng before Tokugawa Ieyasu, namely, Hira Kiyomori, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi; there were only two after Ieyasu.The three generations of generals believed that they were not as good as their grandfather's achievements, so they did not dare to accept this title during their lifetime.Nothing to say later. From the bottom of his heart, Ieyasu was both relieved and terrified.During the banquet, this kind of thinking became more obvious.In front of everyone, he read a poem of death. 〖The Yamato flowers in the prosperous age are blooming, and the spring breeze will be praised for generations to come. 〗 Jiakang thought up this song for fear of being on the sick bed.I only sigh that although it is indeed spring, what matches the flowers is the death that is close at hand. At the celebration ceremony, Noh ballads, songs, dances and gagaku were colorful, such as "Takasago", "Wu Fu", "Happy World", Sanfan beat, as well as "Taipingle", "Ying Weng", "Spring Warbler". Tweet and Ammo.Then, everyone chanted waka with the theme of "Duo Chun Hua Qi". Jiakang waited for the emissary to return to Linji Temple, and once again came the big names to accept congratulations from everyone. It is gratifying to be a great minister in one's lifetime, but it is also very serious.Ieyasu said to the big names: "My life is coming to an end, and there is still a general who will lead me down. Don't worry. However, the world is not a world for one person, but a world for all people. If the general's administration is contrary to common sense and the people are in misery, then Everyone can replace it. But it is enough to make the world stable and the people benefit from it. I know it well, and I dare not resent it.” This is Ieyasu's heartfelt confession to the gods and Buddhas, and it is also a threat to the daimyos, as if saying: "How, is there a flaw in the Tokugawa world?" Ieyasu accepted everyone's congratulations, and ordered all the great names who came to visit Junfu to return to the territory, "Staying here for too long, and the people in the leadership neglect Jiarong, it will be bad. Everyone go back and work diligently on political affairs." Ieyasu ordered all the great names to return to the country, which is undoubtedly a farewell in this life. The banquet for the imperial envoy was already a great devastation for Ieyasu.After people took out the gifts they had prepared long ago and gave them to the big names, on the first day of April in the second year of Yuanhe, Jiakang was critically ill. The letter written by Jindiyuan Chongchuan to Itakura Katsushige said: "Since the illness, Mr. Xiangguo (Ieyasu) has become weaker and weaker. He has hiccups and phlegm. He often suffers from fever and suffers from illness every day. Mr. General and The important ministers and all the big names all came to the city, making it even more difficult for Mr. Xiangguo to breathe, and I think you can imagine it. After the ministers and ministers returned to Beijing, they need to be looked after even more. The old monk went to visit every day and wrote this book with tears in his eyes." On this occasion, however, Ieyasu once again received Date Masamune who came to say goodbye, which is really rare.Even Hideyoshi, who never concealed his illness, kept it a secret from his cronies when he was dying, but Ieyasu said that he would meet Masamune. Ieyasu gave Masamune a clean inkblot as a dying gift. "The affairs of the world are entrusted to you." Ieyasu looked at Masamune trustingly, and said frankly, "I don't know how many hours I can live. I want to enjoy my leisure time." This time Masamune stopped crying loudly.He walked up to Ieyasu on his knees, gently held Ieyasu's hand, opened and closed his one eye, and burst into tears. After Masamune left, Ieyasu summoned Naoyose Hori and said that this was the last time they met in this life, so he asked him something: "After I die, if a war breaks out, Takatora Fujido will be the first, and Naotaka Ii will be the next. In between, be ready to rush in at any time. Remember!" When he said this, his tone was serious, which surprised everyone around him.On weekdays he used to say "there will be no more wars", but today it was the exact opposite.It can be heard from his words that there will be wars in the future, and we must not take it lightly. After that, Ieyasu successively called Jindiyuan Chongchuan, Nanguangfang Tianhai, General Hidetada and Honda Masakazu.He does not seem to know sooner or later.As he said to Masamune, he wants to enjoy the last leisure time in his life before his physical body completely fails.However, he could no longer see the faces of everyone. "You are……" Seeing Jiakang's question, Jindiyuan leaned his head over and cried, "The poor monk respects the teachings." "It's Chongchuan." Ieyasu nodded, hesitantly said, "Is the engraving of books going well? Those books are an indispensable way for people in a peaceful and prosperous age. You should know etiquette if you have enough food and clothing, and you should know honor and disgrace. The emperor and all people must study Learning, don't slack off. Remember!" No matter what kind of heroes they are, when they face death, they tend to be in a state of confusion, but Ieyasu is very sober at the moment.Yagyu Somo sat aside, as if he had been forgotten.I'm afraid it is precisely because of this that he was able to calm the audience.He estimates that Ieyasu will not die in a short time, and at the same time, he also understands why the loyal Katayama Zongzhe was exiled. Since Zongzhe was exiled, Ieyasu hardly ever had doctors come to his side.The doctor is also afraid of making him angry, although he always waits outside, he will no longer be as straightforward and tough as Zong Zhe.Ieyasu didn't care about this at all, just busy with the last order, enjoying the last "leisure". After Chongchuan left, Tianhai came in next. "What happened to Prince Yipin going east?" Jia Kangru was talking to his children, "No matter what you do, don't be careless. This is the foundation of the country. You can't ignore this matter." "Please don't worry, my lord, the Holy Majesty is very pleased to hear that." "Oh, that's good. Next, Masamune." "Yes. Pure here." "Zhengchun, you are too sharp." "what?" "After my death...you have to be careful..." "yes." "You have to think about what Tokugawa Ieyasu's greatest wish in this life is. Remember, don't make too many enemies!" "Yes. I will keep it in mind." At this time, Ieyasu turned his attention to Xiuzhong.I don't know if he can see his son clearly. He who was deaf before now seems to have become more sensitive. "General." Ieyasu paused and smiled, "You have seen it all." "yes." "You should already understand that nothing in this world belongs to you, including your body and authority." "yes." "These are all like rivers, seas, sun, moon, and heaven and earth. Needless to say, gold, silver and treasures, even life and descendants, none of them belong to me." "There are all things in the world, and all things belong to the world." "yes." "Everything is temporarily placed in our hands by God, do you understand? My father's life is also bestowed by gods and Buddhas, and I have cherished it." "The child understands." "This is the third time I have handed over the inheritance to you. The first time I handed over the position of general to you, the second time I moved from Xiyuan to Junfu, and this third time is I want to die. I want to give you the inheritance, but it doesn't belong to you, it's just what everyone entrusted to you for preservation, and I give you to preserve what was originally preserved by me... Do you understand?" For Hidetada, Ieyasu's statement that "everything is a gift from heaven" is no longer novel.He bowed solemnly, and replied: "Please rest assured. The child will never dare to use a penny privately." "That's right. The general is indeed such a person." Ieyasu nodded in satisfaction, and continued, "At that time, always keep in mind that this is a matter of a lifetime, not a matter of a moment." "yes." "You are the heir of Tokugawa Ieyasu, I will hand over the inheritance to you now, are you ready?" "Thank you father." "It's just..." Ieyasu took a breath and looked around at everyone around him.He wants to tell everyone so that everyone can listen to him.Everyone understood, and everyone held their breath. "It's just that although I handed it over to you, it doesn't belong to you. Therefore, you can't use it for your own use." "Yes. Be careful, my child." "First, it will be used as an emergency armament expense." "Armment expenses?" "Yes. You are the general who conquered the barbarians. If you can't quell the domestic turmoil and resist the enemy's attack from the outside, you will be dereliction of duty. Therefore, the first thing to do is to use it for armament expenses." "The child understands." "Second, it is used by famine." "famine?" "Yes. The people work hard all day while eating coarse grains. However, in eight or ten years, there will always be a year of no harvest. This is the test of heaven for the world." "yes." "It may also be a bumper harvest every year. When the age is good, rice grains will be inferior, and the world will no longer take rice grains seriously. At this time, you can't just leave these things to the merchants, but you should buy rice grains and store them up. " "Buy rice from merchants?" "Yes. In the year of famine, come out to relieve hunger. You have to remember that the emperor entrusted the world to us. Even in a year of famine, if one person starves to death by the side of the road, it is your negligence! It is for the second strip." Todo Takahu, who was on the side, felt hot, covered his mouth and began to cry. But Ieyasu still said enthusiastically: "Thirdly, it is used in times of natural disasters and man-made disasters. God often tests the world to see if we are negligent. But there is no danger if we are prepared. Residents of Edo and Junfu, Beijing and Osaka are all More and more, as long as a fire breaks out in one place, it will be a catastrophe that will burn the whole city. If the rulers are not careful, it will cause chaos in the hearts of the people...Fourth..." Speaking of this, Jiayasu seemed a little tired , "There is no need to say any more after that. In a word, I hand over the inheritance to you, it does not belong to you, and it cannot be used by yourself..." He stopped suddenly, and then there was a snoring sound. After the imperial envoy left, everyone guarded the couch every day from the first day to the fifth day of April, for fear of being in a hurry.The entire Jun Mansion was shrouded in tension. On the sixth day of April, Iekang got better again.Before this, he hardly had any water or rice, but today he actually drank some porridge, although each time it was only a small cup, but after drinking it two or three times, he gradually became sober. The confidant began to try to ask him something. On the morning of the sixth day of the lunar new year, Xiuzhong, who was frowning slightly, brought three elders Cunying, Liao De, and Kuoshan from Edo Zojo Temple and Elder Lu Dao from Sanhe Dashu Temple to Ieyasu. It took a lot of courage to bring the monks of Edo and Mikawa to the sick.If Ieyasu is still sober, he must have some orders for the funeral. After Xiuzhong told the elders of the two temples to come to visit him, he changed the topic.He began to discuss with his father about adding a salary of 10,000 shi for Mizuno Tadaki, and making Ishikawa Tadashi inherit the family business.He wanted to test whether his father was still awake, to see if his father could think of Ishikawa Kazumasa's descendants, and then Okubo Tadao. Jiakang agreed with Xiuzhong's proposals. "It's very good to restore the family business for Jiacheng. Find a chance and give it to Okubo... I will leave it to you." He actually took the initiative to mention Okubo Zhongneighbor. At this moment, Fujido Takatora found out that Ieyasu was still awake, and suddenly came in from the compartment, "My lord, please accept me as my disciple." Jiakang opened his eyes and vaguely saw that Gao Hu had shaved off his hair and was wearing cassock. "Your Excellency is the most brilliant person I have met in this world, please accept me as your disciple, and let me accompany you on the road to Huangquan!" This is the request of death.Ieyasu stared at Gao Hu in surprise. "My lord! The elders of Zengshang Temple and Dashu Temple are witnesses. I believe in a different sect from my lord, but, starting today, I decide to convert to my lord! No, it should be said that I have already converted to my lord. Since Tianzheng 14th The first time I saw you in Juledi, I have already converted. You are a real god and Buddha, please agree to Gao Hu's request and accept me as a disciple..." A word came out of Jiakang's lips, and he categorically refused: "No! No, Gao Hu...don't die!" Because Ieyasu spoke too clearly, Todo Takatora, who had lost his mind at this time, raised his head calmly. "The so-called martyrdom means taking your life as your own...not allowed!" "Even if I shaved off my hair like this, the adults don't want to accept me as a disciple?" "If it's a disciple..." Jiakang glanced around at the elder of the temple beside his pillow, took a breath, and said, "Since my life doesn't even belong to me, how can I take my disciple's life at will?" "grown ups!" "You still have heavy responsibilities. If there is a war, you will replace me as the vanguard..." "But……" "Not only that. Ii Naotaka guards the palace, and you have to guard the Ise Shrine. You have to remember what I said. As long as the palace and Ise are safe and sound, no matter what chaos happens in the world, it will eventually calm down. Therefore, The imperial palace and Ise are the backbone of the country. Gao Hu, you have to know that even if narrow-minded people understand the harm of turmoil, they can't see the constant center. If more and more people can't see this center, Wanmin will Falling into the abyss of misery. That's why I often tell the general that Ise will be handed over to you. You have grown a lot in recent years, and you are no longer Wuxia Amon, so don't be fooled. If you really think about Tokugawa Ieyasu, you will replace him. I love to guard Ise, it is the root of life for all people..." Gao Hu hesitated to speak.He often listened to Ieyasu's saying: "Everything has its own mind."The heart of Japan is Ise.But it was only at this moment that Gao Hu really understood: Thinking about it, there has never been a generation in history where Ise was deserted and the people were happy.Ise Shrine is the heart of stability in the world, even stability itself. "Now that you understand, call Shenryuin for me. While the elders of Zojoji Temple and Taijuji Temple are here, I will talk about the funeral." Ieyasu felt that Todo Takatora had already realized, so he turned his attention to General Hidetada. He said again, "I am one of the few blessed people in the world." "What did father say?" "I was supposed to die on the battlefield, but now I can entrust my wishes to everyone one by one, and leave without regret." Ieyasu's emotion caused waves of emotion.He entrusted his wishes to everyone one by one, and among them, Jie Zhonghui was the only one.This was a heart-piercing pain for Zhonghui's birth mother, Cha Aju, who had taken care of Jiakang's daily life for many years. She burst into tears...
