Chapter 9 Chapter 9 The Inscription of Misfortune

From the twenty-sixth day of July to the first day of August in the nineteenth year of Qingchang, Katagiri Kemoto stayed in Osaka City, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles.As soon as the first day of August came, he quickly left the city and headed straight for Kyoto.There is still no news from Junfu.Therefore, he thought that Ieyasu had accepted his suggestion, and agreed to temporarily postpone the transfer of title until after Taige's seventeenth anniversary. The day of consecration is scheduled for the third day of August, only two days away.The situation in Kyoto must be reported to Junfu one by one by Suo Sidai. Since Ieyasu did not give any other instructions to Qi Yuan, it means that he has accepted his suggestion.Therefore, Katagiri Kamoto, who was rushing to Kyoto on a teahouse boat at this time, was relieved.

For the Qishou group and the Ono Zhichang brothers and others, Qi Yuan calmly restrained them, making them refuse to enter the city.He persuaded: "Once they have evil thoughts, the seventeen-year taboo will not be held smoothly. You must restrain yourself." And, as he publicly declared in front of Ieyasu, he did not forget to add a sentence: Taige's huge sum The legacy has bottomed out.How much impact the advice will have, he has no time to take care of it now. In short, he just wants to take a breath.With such thoughts in his heart, he entered Beijing. As soon as the boat arrived at Fushimi, Chimoto was stunned.It was July 25th when he led Itakura Katsushige and Motoami Koetsu to watch the new Buddhist bell.Although there were already a lot of people in the Dongshan area at that time, he never expected that from Fushi to the Kyoto area, it is almost a sea of ​​people now.Both sides of the avenue leading to Dongshan are covered with stands, with curtains everywhere, covered with dazzling crimson gauze and felt.

When we arrived at Dongshan, it was even more crowded, especially many women in gorgeous clothes. "Hey, the consecration ceremony hasn't started yet, why are there so many people?" Qi Yuan asked passers-by. "According to this arrangement, the women's house will naturally not be seen if the crowd is not crowded in the third grade of junior high school. Therefore, from today onwards, everyone will come out to pay homage." It was only then that Qi Yuan realized that people had expected that the ceremony would be extremely crowded, so they came to visit in advance, no wonder there were so many women.

Among the chaotic crowd, there was a continuous procession of monks passing by, all monks from all over Kyoto gathered for the ceremony three days later. People threw wine-smelling paper lotus flowers in the procession, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively. Crowded in the crowd, several times, the corners of Katagiri Kemoto's eyes became hot.These people also know that war will not be fought, so they are full of joy.At this time, he didn't know that his dream had already been shattered. That night, Qiyuan ordered people to light a lively bonfire in front of the Great Buddha Hall of Fangguang Temple to set off the atmosphere.

Katagiri Kamoto received an "extendment" order from Katsushige Itakura on behalf of the director, and it will be the second day, that is, the second day of August. On the second day of August, the atmosphere was several times more lively than the previous day.From early in the morning, there has been an endless stream of women in costumes. The gorgeous costumes remind people of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.When Taiko was alive, the Daigo Flower Appreciation Party once made people dumbfounded, but at that time, those who wore gorgeous clothes were all Taiko's wives and concubines and famous female relatives.But today, seventeen years later, the luxurious colors have changed to the brilliance flowing from the market.How wonderful is Taiping!

Looking at the lively scene in front of him, Qi Yuan thought about the old affairs of the Taige, and walked out of the mountain gate unconsciously. In front of the road of worship, there are countless stalls and shops in a radius of ten towns. From merchants from far and near to jugglers, they are all shouting to attract customers.The joy of the people in front of him is the result of his hard work, and Yuan Da feels relieved. Speaking of which, the fate between the Great Buddha Hall and the Toyotomi family is really not shallow.Hideyoshi first decided to build Fangguang Temple in May of the 14th year of Tianzheng, when the Buddha was still a wooden statue.Afterwards, the Great Buddha was damaged in the earthquake in the seventh month of the first year of Qingchang, leaving only the Buddha Hall.Hideyoshi decided to rebuild the Great Buddha, but he passed away before fulfilling his wish.In order to pray for Hideyoshi, Hideyoshi's mother and son decided to build the Buddha again. It was the fourth year after Taiko's death, that is, the seventh year of Qingcho.At that time, the Buddha himself was no longer a wooden statue, but decided to cast it as a gold-plated bronze Buddha. During the casting process, the wisdom of all the people was concentrated, but the big Buddha that could be cast was melted down because of the fire caused by the casting master's carelessness. Buddhist temples that survived previous earthquakes were also burned down.From June of the 15th year of Qingchang, the Great Buddha Hall was rebuilt again. In the 17th year, it was finally completed. Both the Great Buddha Hall and the Great Buddha were built. The majesty of the Buddha Hall.However, the huge amount of money spent on this is even worth the cost of building Osaka Castle.

This is the persistence of the two generations of Toyotomi and his son.Now that the Buddha Hall has stood majestically, Hideyori and Mrs. Yodo must have been immersed in infinite emotion. Qi Yuan walked and watched along the avenue lined with shops, walked two or three towns, and was suddenly stopped by Wei Yuan, the second son who came to Beijing with him: "My lord, the representative Shiwan urgently sent someone here." Qie Yuan was startled, and turned around, "It must be to discuss tomorrow's ceremony. Who is coming?" "It's..." he blocked the meta-language, "It seems to be the person who came to inform the postponement...."

"Postponement?" Qi Yuan only felt a hum in his head, and suddenly his head became hot, and his eyes turned black.He desperately pushed through the crowd and squeezed out, he didn't even know how to take off his shoes and board the guest hall next to the new Buddhist hall. "Oh, it's Mr. Zhongfang Zuojin." Qi Yuan even greeted him with a sharp voice.Yuan had no time to think about why Nakabo Saakon Hidemasa came here as the envoy of Itakura Katsushige.Nakabo Sakon has been promoted to Nara Magi, therefore, he was sent as an envoy, which has nothing to do with Toyotomi's transfer of title.

Nakabo Zuokon straightened his sitting posture, put the white fan on his knees, and said, "First convey the order of Suoshidai. Because the inscription on the Sanskrit bell cast this time obviously contains words cursing Tokugawa, and some people accused that the nameplate on the beam 'Donza 'The writing is inappropriate, and the Lord of the Imperial Palace is extremely displeased. Therefore, the offering will be stopped tomorrow and postponed to another day. This is the oral order of the Lord of the Imperial Palace." "Oral order?" Qi Yuan immediately asked back, "Is it an oral order, not an order?"

"No." Nakabo Sakin looked away and shook his head, "It's a verbal order." "Master Zhongfang!" Qi Yuan was aggressive, and took a step forward, "This is clearly making things difficult! Everything has been prepared for the ceremony, and famous monks and scholars from afar have gathered in Kyoto to wait for tomorrow's offering ceremony. Postpone? Wouldn’t it be a waste of huge resources and lose all of Yuan’s face? Please allow tomorrow’s offering ceremony no matter what. In the future, the Lord of the Imperial Palace or the general will blame it, and Yuan is willing to apologize. Besides, even if I want to stop, I can’t stop now. Please reply to Itakura-sama with Qieyuan's thoughts." This impassioned reply was quite different from that of Qieyuan in ordinary times.

"Hmm." Nakabozakon Hidemasa thought for a while, "So, the mayor wants to take responsibility alone so that tomorrow's offering will be held as usual?" "Exactly! If there is any blame in the future, I will apologize with a heart-to-heart." Xiuzheng nodded unexpectedly, "Then, I will report my lord's intentions to the Suosidai lord. Katagiri-sama really risked his life?" "Don't worry about it!" "In this case, my lord will wait here for a while." Nakabo Hidemasa stood up gently, avoiding the noisy avenue of worship, and went on Pegasus. After Xiuzheng left, Katagiri Kemoto's face gradually turned pale, and even his lips lost all color.Because of his anger and panic just now, he didn't understand the deep meaning of the postponement at all.This is by no means an easy matter.Tokugawa said that there were words cursing his side in the bell inscription, and he was not satisfied with Donza's way of writing.In this way, when building a palace and temple, in addition to the name of the benefactor and the supervisor who supervised the project, the name of the craftsman in charge should also be written on the donja. One thing, however, is that Qi Yuan only did not let people remember "Nakai Shoji".Nakai Shoji must have been dissatisfied with this matter, and secretly reported to the director. Where exactly do the cursed words in the bell refer?If the name of the craftsman is not written on the donza, is this Buddhist temple not a "palace temple" or a private altar for the Toyotomi family to curse Tokugawa?Did Tokugawa think so?But the grand ceremony that was about to start tomorrow was only banned today, what a deliberate embarrassment!They must have premeditated, in order to solve this difficult problem, they have deliberately remained silent until now. Qi Yuan clapped his hands and called Wei Yuan, ordering him to call the guard Aoki Minbu Shaosuke.Yizhong is one of the seven hands.Needless to say Zhong Ming, the two of them seemed to have no objection even to Donza. "There must be a misunderstanding here. Itakura-sama and Ichimata-sama have a good friendship, and he will definitely mediate between them." Yizhong said. Qi Yuan stopped him: "Anyway, first send someone to Nanchan Temple to invite Elder Qing Han to come and tell him that there is something to explain. I don't even know what is written in the inscription." "Obey!" Wei Yuan responded and went to make arrangements. Not long after, Zhongfang Zuojin Xiuzheng came back on horseback. He didn't even have time to wipe off the sweat on his forehead. When he saw Qiyuan, he shook his head desperately, "My lord strictly orders that the grand ceremony must not be held tomorrow!" "Absolutely not?" "Exactly. My lord said, if Katagiri-sama cut his belly and apologized when the Imperial Palace and the general blamed him, by doing so, Katagiri-sama's morality will stand, but Itakura-sama will have no foothold. Although I am unworthy, I am also burdened." The important task of defending the capital, if you are in the capital, but let the disrespectful offerings that curse the world be held as usual, wouldn’t it be a serious dereliction of duty? At that time, I am afraid that you will not be able to do seppuku. Therefore, even if itakura-sama risked his life, he must Prevent tomorrow's code letter. The above is the letter of the great people." Hearing what Xiuzheng said, Qi Yuan was at a loss, looked up to the sky and sighed: Why is this? "Is that what Itakura-sama said?" After trembling for a long time, Qi Yuan finally said only one sentence. "That's right!" Xiuzheng leaned forward, "The Suosi said solemnly, Master Katagiri should understand this matter." "Should I understand?" "Yes. Lord Katagiri has rushed to the Junfu many times to meet with the Imperial Palace. Your lord is more aware of the injustice than me. Please issue the ban as soon as possible, and report these intentions to Hideyorai. If there is any abnormality, Itakura Your Excellency will send troops immediately. Your Excellency wants you to see the situation clearly." Qiyuan couldn't answer anymore, he understood what Ieyasu meant, which was to transfer the seal to Xiulai!In fact, Qi Yuan never forgot about this, he had long planned to seriously propose to Xiu Lai the transfer of title after completing this offering. "Master Katagiri," Nakabo Hidemasa sympathized when seeing Katagiri trembling and unable to speak, "I don't understand something. Didn't your lord and the Imperial Palace talk about it a long time ago?" "Alas... not at all..." "Actually, Junfu originally said that the bell inscription contained ominous words, it was the 25th of July." "Twenty-five? Then why did Itakura-sama wait till today..." "That's right. The first person who came was Naoji Ando, ​​a close confidant of the Imperial Palace. On the second day, Chongchang, the son of Itakura Katsushita, came. Chongchang was the envoy. He summoned the monks from Wushan to investigate the book written by the Qing Han elders. Whether Zhong Ming is really a curse, if it is really a curse, stop making offerings immediately, this is a secret order." "So, Elder Wushan has been passed on?" "That's right. On the twenty-seventh, Shoujiao of Dongfu Temple, Zongzai Hongchang of Nanchan Temple, Lingzhang of Tenryu Temple, Ruibao of Xiangguo Temple, Ciji of Datong Temple of Kennin Temple, and Shenglin Temple of Shenglin Temple Seven elders, including Shengzheng and Haishan from Miaoxin Temple, were summoned to make statements separately, and they all believed that there was a curse in the inscription." "Master Zhongfang!" "What?" "This, this is what happened on the 27th?" "certainly." "Then, why didn't you tell Katagiri Kamoto until today?" "I don't know. However, Itakura-sama ordered that if you have any thoughts about this matter, please wait for a while. Katagiri-sama will definitely discuss it in person, so it will be postponed until today." "Ah?" Katagiri Kemoto suppressed his anger. Itakura Katsushige may have always thought that Katagiri Kamoto would go to tell him "Hideyori agreed to accept the transfer" when the support was ready.And if Yuan had this intention, Tokugawa would not have made Zhong Ming's question public and waited until today.Of course, this is all speculation by Nakabo Hidemasa, how can he know the truth? Katagiri Kamoto's face was pale, and he was in a state of confusion.As a result, Xiuzheng also became afraid: it turned out that Tokugawa deliberately delayed until today in order to surprise Kae Yuan.If you notify in advance and let the other party prepare, things will be boring; if you delay until the end, you can catch the opponent by surprise.In this way, if you stay here for a long time, you may be in danger. "Master Katagiri, excuse me for talking too much, can you postpone the delay immediately and inform Osaka of this intention?" "So it's irreversible?" "For the sake of you and me, I will tell your lord one more thing: the affairs of the capital have been arranged by Suo Sidai." "Oh?" "The matter was clarified as early as the 27th. After that, of course there is plenty of time to arrange." "Ugh!" "I'll say it again: Tomorrow we will definitely stop making offerings! This is a strict order." "..." "Your Excellency is the elder of the You Mansion, so you cannot decide on such a big matter, so please inform the You Mansion of your intention immediately, and ask the Lord You Mansion to make a decision, that is the right way." "yes……" "That's all I can say. I'm sorry for my incompetence. Farewell." "Wait a minute! Master Nakabo, wait a moment." But Hidemasa Nakabo left without even looking back.He must also be vigilant: Katagiri Kemoto lost his composure, and the samurai around him might not know what he would do. "Father! Is this how people go back?" Wei Yuan hurried over. Katagiri Kazumoto raised his head in thought in a daze, and fell limply.He seemed to have not solved Ieyasu's problem, and he was still at a loss besides being at a loss: Could it be that Elder Qing Han really cursed Tokugawa Ieyasu under the instruction of Hideyori or Mrs. Yodo? "Father, what should I do? Let the messenger go back alive like this?" "You bastard! Don't be reckless! What can you do if you kill the messenger?" Qi Yuan sternly yelled at Wei Yuan.However, what to do next, he was still confused and had no idea.After thinking about it, you must first report to Xiu Lai and Mrs. Dian. As Zhongfang Xiuzheng expected, when Qi Yuan clearly thought of this urgent task, the guards who were as angry as Wei Yuan had already surrounded him.The 3,000-strong Toyotomi guard was led by Kazuchi Aoki, Masharu Nonomura, and Yoriho Mano from the Seven Hands Group.All three of them were pale. "Did your lord agree to postpone the support?" When everyone approached with pale faces, Qi Yuan was ready to die.But as Suo Sidai said, his death will not help. Crazy people will lose their minds because of his blood, and then Suo Sidai's men will use the riot as an excuse to send troops to suppress it.That way, not to mention making offerings, even the Dongshan area will become a human Shura. "Don't be in a hurry! According to Qi Yuan's thinking, this is neither the meaning of the Great Imperial Palace nor the meaning of the Suo Si Dai." Qi Yuan finally realized that if he didn't explain it to everyone, there might be chaos, "This is not from the Junfu of Huiji. The idle speculation of scholars is a misunderstanding of flattery." Of course, he may not think so, but if he does not say this, the situation will not be calmed down. "They said that the inscription on the bell contains disrespectful words that curse the Great Imperial Palace, so once you make a commotion here, it will be believed to be true. Therefore, you must not panic." As he spoke, he gradually regained his composure, "Everyone We all know that Elder Qinghan is the number one scholar in the world today. Since the inscription is written by the elder, the elder will definitely clarify our misunderstandings for us. Once there is a commotion, the elder will also be at a disadvantage, so please calm down!" "So, Lord Mayor intends to suspend the offering ceremony?" "Other than that, there is really no other way! In short, due to the anger of the Great Imperial Palace, the Suosi Dai has ordered a postponement. If anyone refuses to accept it, they will face each other with swords and swords. Everyone, how can we make decisions on our own for such a major event that can easily lead to war? Think about it, everyone, is this the reason? In short, you should first convey the postponement order to all parties, and Yuanhui will rush to Osaka to report to Shaojun for the rest of the matter. Please listen to Shaojun's decision. Before making a decision, never act rashly!" Seeing that his persuasion gradually calmed down the anger of the crowd, Katagiri Kazumoto felt a little relieved.Yes, just do it.Little did he know, because of this thought, he was farther and farther away from "Ieyasu's problem", but he didn't notice it at all... "The three-day support has been postponed." Even after seeing this announcement, the worshipers couldn't figure out why. Some people thought that the great mage was ill, while others speculated that something was wrong with the great benefactor Toyotomi and the right minister.Although some ronin immediately had a hunch that it was the resistance from Kanto and spread the word, but few of them would have thought that the reason came from Zhong Ming.Moreover, when the matter was spread among the people not long after, the words of the curse actually convinced the people, which is really unbelievable. "National well-being... Curse the Great Imperial Palace?" Hearing such a little dial from others, the people suddenly became enlightened.The inscription does split the word "Jiakang" down the middle, and it is widely accepted as the most obvious and understandable reason for the delay to the common people who can barely understand the characters.Seen in this way, the people are not only wise and virtuous people, but also the most easily deceived foolish people. "It's disgusting! No matter what, you can't recreate the merciful and merciful Buddha for cursing others. How can the holy Buddha agree with such intentions?" Of course, there are also voices of opposition: "It's retribution. It's only natural to curse. Originally, it was Lord Taige's world, but Kanto snatched it and didn't return it after the deadline." "Hey, I don't know what will happen with this seventeen-year taboo." "Suo Sidai doesn't seem to want to send troops. In the end, the fan clock will probably be abandoned." "That's right. If you want to fight, the two sides have already started fighting. Fighting and fighting, as long as you erase that sentence, you'll be fine, right?" "Well, it's better not to fight." Amidst the divergent opinions, Katagiri Katmoto hurriedly prepared a boat and rushed back to Osaka. Under his persuasion, although the mood of the crowd calmed down temporarily, more than half of the three thousand guards advocated attacking Suo Sidai's mansion, and the discussion was still very intense.Qi Yuan knew that the only thing that could calm them down was Xiu Lai's order.At this time, more than 5,000 people had gathered around Suo Sidai, and all of them were at war.Qiyuan entrusted Kazuchi Aoki and Raibo Mano with care to appease everyone. How should I explain this to Xiu Lai's mother and son?Along the way, Qi Yuan was always troubled by this.The consecration was supposed to be held tomorrow, so perhaps Hideyori and Mrs. Yodo have already happily set off from Osaka to participate in tomorrow's offering.Before posting postponement notices everywhere, or verbally conveying orders, Qi Yuan first sent Nonomura Yachun to Osaka, hoping that Yachun could calmly explain the situation.This disaster that fell from the sky almost crushed Qi Yuan's waist.He didn't even have time to look back on the situation when he met Ieyasu before, and he was exhausted just to clean up the situation in front of him. As soon as he stepped onto the pier of Osaka Castle, Qi Yuan felt that the city was surprisingly quiet, and even made people feel fearful.This is definitely not because he is from the noisy capital, there must have been important ministers who have heard the postponement order by surprise. Qi Yuan didn't think too badly.In Hideyori's guest room in Honjo, the Ono Brothers, Oda Tsunema and Yurakusai have all come, Kimura Shigenari, Watanabe Naisuke, Hayami Kaimori, Ibaraki Dansho, Naomori and Ichihei , Yoneda Kihachiro and others were also present.Although there were no shadows of other women, Mrs. Yodo was sitting side by side with Hideyori in the front seat.The crowd argued loudly. Seeing Qi Yuan's figure, everyone shut their mouths in unison.For a moment, the room was as cold as a freezer. "Issei, what's going on here?" Mrs. Dian was the first to ask, leaning out her body vigorously, "We were still arguing just now, and they all said that I hindered everyone and missed the opportunity. Kanto used poison tricks from the very beginning. I was conspired by the general's wife, easily fell for it, and was caught off guard by the enemy. Otherwise, before Suo Sidai raised a difficult problem, we should have covered up and fought a quick battle. Mayor, what do you think? We In the end, it was plotted against by Guandong!" Mrs. Dian burst into tears. "First... please calm down first." Qi Yuan almost shed tears, and couldn't breathe for a while, "Qi Yuan also remembered something, please calm down first, madam, and listen to what happened." He said so , he didn't realize at all that these words got him into trouble.What he should do at this time is to report calmly first, and then ask Xiu Lai how to deal with it.As an assistant minister, it is never too late to state your opinion even after that.But Yuan Shi loves Xiu Lai so much that he feels at a loss at this moment. It is this kind of poor sympathy that makes him put himself in danger.Xiu Lai was naturally even more at a loss.Although he is more than six feet tall and looks dignified when sitting in front of him, at this moment he looks like a child who is about to cry. "There is absolutely no... that Madam was deceived... Absolutely nothing. Both the Imperial Palace and the General hope that Tokugawa and Toyotomi will help each other in the same boat, and they have no other intentions. This incident must be a misunderstanding." And just after Yuan finished speaking, Mrs. Dian said, "I think so too. How about it, everyone, Shizheng said the same thing." The house fell into silence.But they were not necessarily moved by what Qi Yuan said, they were just thinking: Even if Qi Yuan was present, arguing with Mrs. Dian would be useless. "Hmph!" Oda Yurakusai snorted first before opening his mouth, "There was a big commotion in Osaka City, the mayor. If you say that Guo Ankang dismantled Ieyasu's name and cursed him... then Who will dare to use words easily in the future?" "this……" "Wait a minute. This may not be a rumor. In Daban City, there are more than one or two people who cursed the old fox to die early. It's just that they didn't curse with words, but cursed with their hearts." I don't know what he was thinking. Le said while scanning the crowd with sharp eyes, "These cursing people have seen from the very beginning that Kanto will be in trouble by making offerings. Before that, they made up their minds to fight to the death, and wanted to start at the scene on the day of making offerings." In this way, Osaka took the lead. However, what hindered them from doing so was Katagiri Kamoto, an overly honest and loyal minister, who easily fell into the trap of Kanto, thinking that the offering could be held without incident, so Desperately suppressing everyone, even those who are cynics like Joy will support this good old man. What do you think, Ohno Xiu?" Ono Haruka's face suddenly turned red.Zhi Fang, Zhi Zhang's younger brother, couldn't bear it anymore, and said: "Please don't say any more, Oda-sama! What's the use of talking about it now!" As a result, Youle became aggressive, and directed the conversation at Zhifang: "Master Ono Zhifang, you didn't understand what I meant. If you don't understand, please stop interjecting. What do you think, Nei Zangsuke?" He turned his attention again Pointing to Watanabe Neizosuke. "Maybe you are regretting it too. It would be great if you killed Katagiri City. If so, you can put 50,000 ronin into the city at this time. As soon as the other party makes a move, they will immediately rise up and attack the official residence of Suo Sidai and Fushimi Castle, after gaining power, retreated to Osaka. As a plan, there should be no problem in keeping it for two or three years. The large amount of military supplies can make the big names who owe the Toyotomi clan come out. Even if they don’t send troops, but send some Bing rations will never be refused, so there must be some reason for this. As soon as the discussion came to this point, Fukushima and the others immediately agreed to offer 30,000 shi. Right, Naizangsuke?" Watanabe Neizosuke shrugged nonchalantly, "Exactly." "I," You Le said indifferently, "I'm old and I don't know how to fight a war, so I don't want to talk too much about this war. But Shi Zheng, when you're not around, the crowd will be furious, and it's likely to explode. If you don't know what's going on today , We will definitely not be able to negotiate in the future. Although the old man poured cold water on you, I just want to tell you the truth." After finishing speaking, he fell silent. As expected of you!Katagiri Kazumoto was moved by his courage, and fully felt his kindness to Toyotomi.But Oda Yule made such a high-level statement in front of everyone, but it may not be out of good intentions for Kae Yuan.Youle is angry at everyone's stupidity.He is angry with those who overestimate their capabilities, think lightly and take the lead, and those who agree with him; even Qi Yuan, who can't figure out what Kanto wants from Hideyori and Mrs. Dian, makes Youle more anxious , even contemptuously.For You Le Zhai, this world is too boring, there are always a group of angry and stupid people making noise. Asked for a moment, the audience fell into silence. "I have something to report to your lord." After a while, the person sitting at the bottom seat said to Xiu Lai.Hideyori was taken aback, straightened up from the support table, and everyone's eyes also converged on the last seat.The speaker was Shigenari Kimura. "The previous report said that Katagiri-sama came here after temporarily deciding to postpone the support because he was worried about the chaos of the situation. Your lord should first ask whether this is the case." Shigecheng's awe-inspiring voice hit everyone's heart. "Oh, yes." Hiderai seemed to have grasped at a straw, and turned her gaze to Qieyuan. "Qiyuan, didn't there be a riot in Beijing? What's your plan for the decision to postpone it? Don't be restrained, just say it." "Qi Yuan is terrified." Qi Yuan is about to cry.He knew that Hideyori and Mrs. Dian had no great ambitions, nor did they have many doubts about Kanto.For them, this bolt from the blue was too cruel. "I have entrusted Mano Bungo to take care of the aftermath, so there will be no worries about chaos for the time being." "Oh, good. So, what do you plan to do in the future?" "This, forgive me for your boldness..." Under the gaze of dozens of pairs of eyes, Qi Yuan bowed down respectfully, "Please send Shizheng to Junfu again." As soon as the words came out, even he himself was surprised .He had never thought about it this way before—even if he didn't leave Osaka City, the main battlers would already be boiling. If they left at this time, what would happen to them?They will definitely think that Qiyuan is fleeing. Oda Yule laughed loudly, "Haha! The city is, the city is going to defend... that's all, isn't it?" "Master Oda, the young master is asking a question, please be more respectful." Mrs. Dian stopped Youle loudly, and turned around, "Young master, let's listen to Shizheng's thoughts until he understands." Xiu Lai nodded vigorously, "After you go to Junfu, what do you want to say to the Imperial Palace? I heard that the Imperial Imperial Palace was very angry, and this is what everyone is worried about now." "The statement of anger comes entirely from Suo Sidai's oral message. But Shaojun thought, how can a person who is so angry say such lukewarm words as postponement? If the Great Imperial Palace was really angry, the offering would have been banned long ago. This pause must be..." "rational." "The so-called extension, the implication is that if there is an argument, you might as well listen to it. Looking at it now, Junfu has not blocked all the roads, and Shizheng thinks so." "So, what do you want to say?" "Because the matter started with the elder Qing Han, I want to take the elder along with me, and let him clearly explain the source of the words, so as to eliminate misunderstandings." As he spoke, Qi Yuan suddenly felt a strange sense of guilt, and only felt a voice Call out to him frequently in my heart: Right now, don't leave this city. "If the problem is only with Zhong Ming, maybe there is still room for maneuver." Xiu Lai seemed to have vaguely felt that the problem was not only with Zhong Ming, and these words also reminded Qi Yuan.In fact, the problem is not Zhong Ming, but Yifeng.Suddenly, this thought slipped through Qie Yuan's mind.The current atmosphere only increased the sense of responsibility of the honest and honest man, but it blocked his thinking. "Needless to say, we didn't bring up such things until the day before the offering, which naturally caused us great trouble. However, I heard that the Great Imperial Palace is not in good health recently, and if I hear some ominous words, I will inevitably be furious. But think about it carefully. , The Great Imperial Palace has always loved Shaojun, and it is related to the seventeenth anniversary of the death of the late Taige Lord, so what should be inquired should be asked, and strive to hold the ceremony on the 18th. Perhaps it is out of this idea that the Imperial Imperial Palace has postponed the order. " "So, it is suspected that a dark ghost was born? Then, you have to take a hard trip." "Yes. I don't feel at ease if the others go. If it goes well, maybe I can make it to the eighteenth day. Right now, I have to go there myself." "That's the best." Mrs. Dian sighed, and agreed to Qi Yuan's request, "Even if I think of being cursed by others, I will be so angry that I will get sick. Please hurry to Junfu and leave for a while." Come on. Shaojun, give Shizheng a glass of wine." Hideyori nodded generously and ordered Shigecheng to prepare the wine glass. Things are amazing.Of course, the main fighters will regard Ieyasu's ban as a provocation, but Hideyori and Mrs. Yodo have no intention of fighting at all, and even sent Katagiri Kamoto to Junfu in a hurry.Therefore, if Katagiri Kasumi made it clear to the two of Ieyasu's intentions, perhaps the two would unexpectedly readily agree to transfer the title.In this way, the chaos has long since dissipated, and I only sigh that I don't have such vision and capacity.He had no tactics to fear, nor malice to make posterity sigh. Moreover, Yuan Chang ignored Taiping, and only had Toyotomi in his eyes.He can't see the undercurrent behind the peace, he can only appreciate the calm on the surface.He lacks the ability to respond to changes and the ability to deal with the world. In short, he is not a good assistant to the government.Although he is good at calculating, he is also limited by his persistence, so he can't see the overall situation.He thought he understood Jiayasu's thoughts, but he only knew one part.What Jia Kangxi begged him was not to rush to Junfu repeatedly to express his loyalty, but to ask Xiulai's mother and son to accept the transfer.However, Qi Yuan was confused by the shouts of the main battlers in Daban City, and completely forgot the purpose of the world.The so-called people are nine points smart, but only one point short of fire, and Katagiri is the same! And at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, I thought that as long as it was said that Osaka had no money, the theory of the main battle would disappear.But now, facing Ieyasu's cruel difficulties, he jumped out of the circle of difficulties because of a mere pang of conscience.Even if his verdict of "Ieyasu has no malicious intentions" is correct, it is only scratching the surface.Now, Hideyori and Mrs. Yodo entrust their fate to such a Katagiri Kamoto, it can be said that they are blind. At Mrs. Dian's suggestion, the matter of sending Qie Yuan to Junfu was decided, and the whole group fell into an uneasy silence again.Youle snorted coldly from time to time, but stopped talking, and Watanabe Neizosuke glared angrily. The idea of ​​getting rid of Chie Yuan came into the mind of Nei Zang Zhu, which was born at this time.He thought that Qiyuan had completely become an ungrateful person and became a confidant of Osaka. Whether this person had colluded with Edo from the beginning or was deceived during frequent meetings, there was no need to investigate. The Ono brothers were even more chaotic.Zhifang has become the main fighter, and Zhichang is still hesitating. Amid fear and apprehension, Katagiri Kamoto accepted the gift of wine from Hideyori, and hurriedly embarked on the journey to Junfu the next day.
