Chapter 23 Chapter 23: The Dove Occupies the Magpie's Nest

The demolition of the moat of Osaka City and the filling of the inner and outer moats have caused a lot of discussion in the city. It is already after the 20th year of Qingchang New Year. The people in charge of the landfill are Matsudaira Shimoshou Zhongming, Honda Tadakatsu's son Zhongzheng, and another branch of Honda Yasuki. One can imagine.What's more, there are three people who are known as Tokugawa Ieyasu's confidantes Honda Masunari, Naruse Masanari, and Ando Naoji, who are always watching behind the scenes.The three of them had a clear understanding of Ieyasu's idea of ​​"taking the sky as his opponent". "It would be fine if they all became gods and Buddhas who can save all living beings like the Great Imperial Palace, but all the wolves who gather in Osaka are man-eating wolves." Fill it out, this is their real concern.

In the eyes of the Daimyo of the Tokugawa genealogy, before and after the successful negotiation, the ronin had been in great chaos.Sanada Yukimura, Goto Keiji and others have been actively urging Hideyori to fight, but since the bombardment of the sky-shattering cannon, most people in the city have lost their fighting spirit.They were afraid that they all had a premonition of the final outcome, and most of them died down after clamoring. After the peace talks, the next step is of course to disband the ronin.However, before disbanding, the Toyotomi family will definitely pay a considerable commission, and all the rogues will be able to return home with full rewards.For the rogues, it is "pastime to entertain the depression of defending the city". This kind of thinking truly shows the sadness of this group of mobs: if they knew about peace, they would not have to fight desperately and put their lives in danger, but they would have taken the money early. Go outside the city.They are used to living a wandering life, once the inertia is reborn, their morale will immediately lose their morale.

The rogues were given a banquet and received some money, so they scrambled out of the city.At the end of the year, Osaka suddenly showed a lively scene. The Tokugawa people see it completely: the moat and the moat are gone when the drunk ronin comes back after having enough fun in the brothel and restaurant.In this way, they will stop thinking about the city, which is also of great benefit to Osaka.While discussing in this way, everyone stepped up the burial.But the little money in the ronin's pocket was wiped out immediately.Once they ran out of money, their wine sobered up immediately and they started counting again.When they shook their heads and thought hard, the city of Osaka was completely changed...

"What's going on here? Didn't the peace treaty say that only the outer moat should be buried?" The first person who questioned was Sengoku Zongya's vassal Inoue. "Yeah, they broke the contract! Once all the moats are buried, how can the city be defended in an emergency? If we can't fight, how can we do our duty?" A certain Inoue passed these words to Xianshi Zongye first. Inside, Zong also reported to Chief Ono on the morning of the 28th. "Master Ono is busy with official duties, so I'm afraid he doesn't know about it. Kanto claims to fill up the outer moat, but now it has also filled up the inner moat. Does your lord know about this?"

Of course it is impossible for the governor to not know.But he pretended to know about it just now, and pretended to urgently send envoys to Songping Zhongming and other places to question: "The agreement during the peace talks was that only the outer city was to be demolished, why even the inner city was demolished?" Zhongming then asked Honda Tadomasa, who worked with him, Ise Sangming Shimangoku.Zhongzheng replied: "This is an order from the Imperial Palace. The Imperial Imperial Office ordered that the main city hall be buried. The so-called general city hall, needless to say, refers to all city halls, without distinction of course."

Prior to this, Zhongzheng, Zhongming, and Kang Ji probably discussed this matter with Honda Masazumi, and now they have such a reply.Hearing the reply, Ono Zhichang was silent for two or three days. But in the interim, landfills continued.These facts are enough to prove that the demolition of the outer city and the filling of the moat were proposed by the Osaka side before the peace talks based on Mrs. Yodo's ideas, but the ronin didn't know about it at all.Akashi Dango, Goto Uhei, Mori Toyozen, Ikoma Masazumi and others complained one after another. Not long after, Ono Jichang sent a second envoy, but this time he did not go to Sanbong, but went directly to pay homage to Honda Masakazu.It was Chinese New Year when I went there, Honda Masakazu let the envoy shut his door.In fact, regarding the demolition of the city wall, Zhengchun was very tough from the very beginning.

The governor called the ronin who was about to make trouble because of anxiety, "Honta Ueno said so and so, the eunuchs must have heard it wrong, and he will stop them immediately." Then, he put the ronin's The recent situation table told Mrs. Dian to ask Mrs. Dian to come forward to prevent the filling of the inner moat. But how can the landfill in full swing stop here?Although the ditches and rivers are all filled, another invisible "trench" between Edo and Osaka is getting deeper and deeper... There were two more rumors that infuriated the Ronin frequently in the city.One said that anyway, Osaka was unable to support 100,000 vagrants, and the burial of Chenghao was regarded as the mercy of Kanto, which hurt the ronin and disturbed their hearts.Unable to feed the ronin, the negotiation was clearly concluded with the knowledge of this situation.By filling the moat, telling the ronin the truth as soon as possible-there is no longer able to fight, it is also for the sake of the Toyotomi family in the future.There is no need for ronin in Osaka, so why do ronin still rely on this place?

Another rumor is the intensified malicious slander, saying that the reason for the peace negotiation is nothing but that the ronin have lost their will to fight.The rogues from all over the world thought that the Toyotomi family was rich and powerful, so they gathered here.However, due to the reconstruction of the Great Buddha Hall and the reconstruction of various temples and shrines, Toyotomi's treasury has already been exhausted.When the rogues learned of this, they were immediately disheartened.On the 21st of the twelfth lunar month, when Sanada Yukimura and Goto Keiji planned to forcefully launch a night attack, few of them were willing to come forward.Therefore, Xiu Lai mother and son had to conclude a peace treaty.

Precisely because these rumors are both true and false, the rumors of attempting to shift the responsibility for the war to the ronin were immediately spread among the remorseful Toyotomi retainers and businessmen who supported the Toyotomi family.If you think about it calmly, the source of these two rumors is really suspicious.In fact, the rumors came from the followers of Date and Fujido, but sadly, no one has conducted a careful investigation on it. When Mrs. Dian, who offered to demolish the city, asked Honda Zhengchun to stop the landfill, it was the 20th New Year of Qingchang. The ronin who didn't know the truth immediately whispered: "The mother and son of the Youfu are afraid of Jiakang."

"Yes. The Imperial Palace and the General have been deceiving people from the very beginning. How can we sit still and wait for death?" Gradually, signs of instability intensified. According to reports, a beautiful maid called A Yu, who once had a relationship with Honda Masakami, was sent to pay homage to Masamune.It is impossible to know whether the dispatch of Otama this time is really to convey the meaning of Mrs. Yodo and Osamu Ono, or it is just a foolish plan to appease the ronin and stop the mouths of his own people.It is rumored in the world that Ayu is as famous as she is, and as beautiful as jade, she is the number one beauty in the city.Mrs. Lian Dian also admitted that she was beautiful, and said that if she really went to Edo as a hostage, she would be taken along with her.

Hearing that Ayu came to negotiate, Honda was both surprised and delighted. At that time, in addition to the three landfill directors, Masamune, Naruse Masanari, and Ando Naoji were also present.Three adhere to keep their heads down and remain silent.Naruse Masanari, however, made fun of Zhengchun unceremoniously and said, "When Mr. Uenosuke went to Osaka Castle, he seemed to have heard the sweet talk of that girl Ayu. I wonder if Uenosuke still remembers it?" Although Naruse Masanari is only an accompanying minister, in addition to the 34,000 stones of Shimosou Kurihara, he also owns Oyama Castle, and is the person Ieyasu relies heavily on for his Aiko Owari Yoshinao.Because of this, he has always joked with integrity without any scruples.Zhengchun smiled wryly and kept shaking his head. "A woman's mind is really troublesome." "My lord doesn't necessarily think so in his heart, does he?" "Stop joking around. I have to withdraw to Erjo City for important matters, and I will hand over the rest to a few of you." It seems that Zhengchun is really moving.As usual, recognized beauties are mostly regarded as "gifts".Therefore, Mrs. Dian sent Ayu to the young and pure place, there is no deep meaning.Knowing this, Zhengcheng joked about Zhengchun, but Ieyasu took this matter very seriously and took care of everything.How dare Zhengchun take the blame?In addition, Ieyasu also knew that Amei, the concubine, was thinking purely. "Listen, after I die, I will give Amei to you. You should live a good life." After saying this, Amei was gradually alienated by Jiakang.Ame was originally the daughter of Aoki Kiimori, known as Renhuain, and she did marry Honda Masakami in the future.Now that she has Ah Mei, if she accepts Mrs. Dian's "gift", something big will happen. "Haha, it seems that Uenosuke-sama is really afraid of women." Zhengcheng was still joking. Guessing that Ayu would arrive soon, Zhengchun went to Erjo Castle early. "It seems that we can only receive the envoys." Ando Naoji was puzzled. Naruse Masamari replied disdainfully: "I will be in charge of the reception, you just need to rest assured. Originally, this was not Mrs. Yodo's idea alone, it must be the person chosen by Ono Xiu. How can a person with a heavy responsibility behave like this!" While talking, the guards came to report that Ayu had come with four maids in splendor. "Okay, let me send her away. Ando-sama, just pretend you don't know, and go and urge the servants to work." Zhengcheng was angry. He was not angry with Mrs. Yodo, but was unable to stand Ohno who was cramming for everything. Mayor.At such a time, even sending a beautiful woman here, what on earth does the Chief Chief want to do?The crux of the problem is how to convince the ronin, let them understand Osaka's difficulties, and retreat on their own.Osaka no longer has the strength to fight the Kanto, nor the ability to support the ronin, so the key is to keep the Toyotomi family alive, and filling the moat is simply a trivial matter... The governor can't see the current situation clearly, so he sent a beautiful woman As an envoy, if he doesn't wake him up quickly, the painstaking efforts of the Imperial Palace may be in vain! "The envoy has arrived." The servant who sent the message shouted loudly. "Oh, what's the matter?" Zhengcheng asked loudly as he went out to assign tasks to his staff, "I'm busy with business, and there is a shortage of people here. Who? What's the matter?" "Mrs. Yodo sent an envoy to visit Mr. Uenosuke Honda." "That's really a coincidence, Mr. Uenosuke Honda has something to go back to Nijo Castle, so he's not here." Saying this, Zhengcheng walked up to Ayu without hesitation, "Hey, isn't this Miss Ayu, the most beautiful woman in the city?" said Then, he looked Ayu carefully from head to toe.Ayu looked twenty-one or twelve years old, her skin was like ice and snow, her eyes were like autumn, her face was moist and her cheeks plump, she was really a peerless beauty... "Miss Ayu, Naruse Masanari is really lucky to see her face today. If Mr. Honda were here, he would be overjoyed and amazed." Ayu blushed with shame, and the corners of her beautiful lips trembled slightly, "Is...is it Hayato Masama Naruse?" "That's right. It's Naruse Masamari who is known for his recklessness." "Since Uenosuke-sama is not here, it is the same to tell him. Madam said..." Before finishing speaking, Zhengcheng laughed and interrupted her: "It's impossible. It's nothing more than flowers that can be picked easily. Miss is a well-known peony in Osaka City, and she was given to Mr. Uenosuke by name." Zhengcheng dare not make mistakes." Immediately, Zhengcheng shouted again: "Everyone, today is a rare opportunity, and I have met the beauty I dreamed of. Let's feast your eyes on it. This is Ayu, the most beautiful woman in Osaka City. .” Ayu is indeed so beautiful that even Date Masamune would be overwhelmed by her beauty.But compared with Ieyasu's "Haijian", she is absolutely inferior in terms of sharpness, wisdom, and experience.For a moment, Ayu, who stood there dumbfounded, was surrounded by rough gangsters. "Oh, this is Miss Ayu." "So pretty." "If we can be with such a woman... aha!" After all, he is a man who is far away from his homeland, and the words of praise gradually turned into unsavory vulgar words. "That's enough, enough is enough, let's go to work!" Naoji Ando couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted, "Go to work, and go back to your hometown to celebrate the New Year!" "Yes, let's go to work!" Zhengcheng took over the words, "Miss Ayu, thank you very much. I just said it, Mr. Uenosuke went to the capital, I hope you can convey this to Mrs. Dian. Also convey to Ono Xiu-sama: We have all paid homage to Miss Fangrong, and this life is not in vain. Everyone's energy is multiplied, the project will be faster, and everyone's wives and children are waiting in their hometown." Ayu froze on the spot, staring blankly at the servants and warriors gradually dispersing.Honda is not here, what can she do?What's more, Naruse Masanari and Ando Naoji also left quickly, leaving only a mess of mud and frost trampled by the servants, and the house was extremely cold. "Let's go back." "Is this appropriate?" "Master Uenosuke is not here." Ayu'er wanted to cry, her anger spewed out, but what could she do?Would Mrs. Dian really interpret her experience as a great shame? After Ayu returned, Ono Jichang was immediately reprimanded more severely by Ronin.Ronin is infuriated by Ayu's mission. "Am I right?" "Kanto has been lying from the beginning. Naruse and Ando told us clearly." "Yeah. Ono Xiu's bones have melted." The situation of Mr. Ono is undergoing subtle changes all the time.At the beginning, he just wanted to hide the truth, but now, he has become the target of public criticism.It was originally agreed to bury the outer moat, but now it has become the general moat. As a result, all the moats have been continuously filled, which has seriously threatened the safety of the owner's family, but he is completely powerless. Under everyone's questioning, he knew that Naruse and others didn't take him seriously, so he had to protest to Ieyasu. Therefore, the governor took Ayu and went to the capital himself.This time, he wanted to directly report the current situation to the general's family, Ben Duo Zhengxin, and beg him for an idea.Ieyasu wanted to welcome the New Year in Nijo Castle, but General Hidetada claimed that he could not withdraw his troops until the daimyos completely pulled out their camps, and stayed where they were.Therefore, only Honda Masanobu, who was over seventy years old, returned to Fushimi Castle ahead of schedule.So Ono Zhichang took Ayu and turned to Fushimi Castle.The governor thought that since Ayu was Mrs. Dian's envoy and he was a rich and important minister, Honda was sure that he would come out to greet him solemnly. But in the eyes of Honda Masanobu, what kind of thing is Ono Zhichang! After Zhengshin heard the news of the two coming from Mizuno Tadamoto, he said indifferently: "It's nothing serious, there is no need to meet." As he said, he looked at the document on merit and deeds written for people to return to their hometowns for the New Year, and shook his head. Shaking his head, "Da Ye is afraid that he will be in trouble during the aftermath. Tell him that the dog is pure and foolish, and it seems that he has misunderstood the order of the Imperial Palace. Therefore, I will report directly to the Imperial Imperial Palace. However, the old man is currently in bed with a cold. After recovering, I have to go to Ertiao City, and I can’t meet you.” After finishing speaking as if nothing had happened, Zhengxin took off his glasses from his forehead and put them on the bridge of his nose. Because Masanobu said it too coldly, Mizuno Tadamoto seemed a little uneasy, "How do you know the other party's intention if you don't see him?" Zhengxin pushed his glasses back on his forehead again, and smiled slightly, "He is also considered to be the person in charge of Osaka, so he doesn't really want us to stop landfilling until now. He has a cold, and he will understand when he talks about a cold." Zhongyuan smiled wryly, stopped talking, and told Chief Zhi and Ayu about Zhengxin. Zhichang's face became stiff at the sight.Reporting to the Imperial Palace after the cold has recovered is clearly an excuse for not wanting to see him.It seemed that no one took him seriously.The change in people's hearts is really subtle. From the very beginning, he had no intention of preventing the other party from burying him, but he still conceited that he could borrow some "wisdom" from righteous faith.Regrettably, Zhengxin felt that since he was the elder in charge of Osaka City, he naturally had a well-thought-out plan. I'm afraid he would show off to those ronin when he came this time-he has been working hard to stop the landfill in Kanto. Otherwise, why would he deliberately bring Ayu who is like a doll?If he really wanted to negotiate, he would definitely come with Oda Yurakusai. Zhi grew up to lose face, and suddenly became angry: "My lord really has a cold? It's really a decent rejection. So, the fortifications can't be stopped?" Mizuno Tadamoto smiled calmly, he didn't think Zhichang was really angry.Zhichang was acting in front of this woman, so that after she went back, she could say in front of the ronin: How forcefully Zhichang negotiated with Honda Zhengshin. "Don't get angry, we have absolutely no intention of doing so. It is precisely because Mr. Honda is old and frail, and he is sick, that he returned from Okayama earlier than the general. Please rest assured, after my lord recovers, he will definitely rush to Erjo early .” When Mizuno said this, Zhichang was speechless.Before he knew it, his dissatisfaction was replaced by cheated anger. "I always thought that Master Honda would think about the matter of Osaka more seriously and deeply than other people." "How can my lord not think about it? It is because he has thought about it carefully that he blames Lord Uenosuke for being stupid. Alas, Mr. Repair took so much trouble." At this time, the lunch was served, and the chief and Ayu didn't even move their chopsticks.They had no intention of eating at all, especially Ayu, who was rejected for the second time, with a pale face and trembling all over. Before leaving the main gate of Fushimi Castle, the two barely spoke a word.Wohuo gradually turned into anger, and anger turned into hostility. "We have been tricked!" Ayu got off the sedan chair, stood on the pier, said with bloodshot eyes, "We must tell Mrs. Dian about our grievances." Although the governor did not agree, he also looked angry and persuaded: "Ayu, we can't go back in this state." "What did your lord say? Are we going to go back and negotiate with them again?" The sky was gloomy, and it seemed that it was going to snow, and three or two waterfowl circled low around the boat.Chief Zhi stared at the waterfowl. "Turn around!" He yelled, "Since Honda Sado is unwell, we will go to Soshidai and negotiate with Itakura Katsushige. Hurry to Soshidai's official residence!" Ayu nodded stiffly.From the very beginning, she was full of resentment towards Tokugawa, just like those ronin. The sedan chair was placed in front of the two of them again.In front of Shengzhong, there is no need to be polite, tell him directly, if you let him go like this, the ronin will be in chaos.Zhichang is really hard to be called a real general.He didn't realize that many Tokugawa banners were gearing up, waiting for chaos in the city. The sedan chair quickly went to the official residence of Soshidai in Nijohori River. Katsushige Itakura, the director of the department, and his son Zhou Fangzhongzong were talking about the progress of filling the moat.Chongzong, as a bodyguard this time, followed General Xiuzhong to the expedition. When the people in the office reported that Mrs. Yodo's envoy, Ayu, came together with Masaru Ono, Katsushige and Shigemune had just talked about Ayu being driven away by Naruse Masanari, and the two couldn't help but look at each other. "They're still here, and I can't escape." Shengzhong couldn't help frowning, and sighed, "Mrs. Dian didn't really want to stop the landfilling of Chenghao. However, things seem a little tricky." "Father, it's best to say you're sick, and you won't be interviewed." "Well." "Let the boy meet for you first, and find out why they came here." Sheng Zhong shook his head cautiously, "No. If it's just Ayu, it's okay to say, repair is in charge of Osaka after all, let's see, maybe something happened in the city." After speaking, Sheng Zhong changed his clothes and went to the guest room go. Ono Jichang didn't lean against the stove, but just sat there with his shoulders shrugged.There was no sign of Ayu in the room. "Master Xiu unexpectedly came to visit. However, I heard that there were two people who came." "Yes, I originally came with Mrs. Dian's maid, Ayu, but I felt it was inappropriate, so I borrowed a room in your residence and asked her to wait first." "Oh, so it's a secret talk?" "No, Ms. Ayu was not sent to Mrs. Itakura's house, she was Mrs. Yodo's envoy to Mr. Honda Sado, and the governor asked her to avoid her." Sheng Zhong wondered, and said: "Your Excellency is very thoughtful. Since it is not sent to the humble house, it is indeed inconvenient to talk to her. Then, why did Your Excellency pay a special visit?" "Itakura-sama, Xiuxiu really had a closed door at Honda Sado-sama." The governor still couldn't let go of his tone, "Master Honda said he was sick in bed and couldn't see each other, so he sent a servant out to see me. Hmph! In fact, the Chief Governor had heard about it from his servants before that. Where did he get sick, he is clearly still energetically handling official duties." "My lord, would you like me to pass a message to Sado? Okay, I will pass it on to him. Please tell me, my lord." But Chief Zhi was not in a hurry to get to the point: "That's right, Master Honda is the general's confidant, but Chief Zhi is also an important minister of Lord Youfu, and a veteran minister of Daban City. Master Honda actually pretended to be sick and sent me It exploded, really..." "Ah!" Itakura Katsushige raised his hand to interrupt the chief, "It's really too much, okay, I'll pass this on to Sado Mamoru." In fact, Katsushige has long looked down on Ono Zhichang.As the head of Osaka Castle, he showed up at Soshidai's mansion with an inappropriate envoy, and complained loudly inappropriately.Therefore, Sheng Shige interrupted him, but Zhichang still didn't understand. "Exactly!" The Chief Zhi leaned forward and said, "If he can understand the difficulty of repairing, he will meet me anyway and ask what's going on. But he doesn't care about it at all, and says that he will wait until he recovers. Then report it to the Great Imperial Palace. How can things be so simple? I will go back and tell the ronin, and I will definitely get a bad nose! Maybe they will cause chaos right away." "Oh, I can't ignore it." Sheng Zhong suddenly opened his eyes and straightened his face, "I'll report this to the general immediately. If I don't deal with those rogues immediately, I'm afraid something serious will happen. Is that what you mean?" "No...no, no." "Then what exactly is going to happen? I am very aware of Sado's rudeness. However, if the ronin is going to cause chaos... If there is chaos, it is not the responsibility of Sadomori alone, it should be the responsibility of the lord of Osaka Castle!" After severe threats.Shengzhong slowed down his tone again, "Master Xiu, do you mean that the ronin refuses to obey your control, and things are very difficult. If this continues, troubles are very likely to happen, so you just want to discuss it with Mrs. Honda, and see Any good ideas?" "Yes, yes." "Since that's the case, I'll put it aside when I accuse Mr. Honda of being rude." Ono Zhichang's face turned red, Katsushige was blaming him, he understood very well, but the anger couldn't dissipate all at once.Dissatisfaction and shame gradually turned into waves, churning in his chest. "What I want to say to Itakura-sama is nothing else. Although peace talks have been made, isn't it too hasty and deceitful to bury the city? Now the city is full of angry ronin, can you understand our difficulties? Show mercy?" "Oh!" Katsushige sighed with some disappointment, "So, Master Ohno's intention for coming this time is to suspend the project of filling Chenghao?" "Exactly! Otherwise, the ronin will be out of control, I hope I can understand..." "Master Repair!" "Itakura-sama..." "When is the postponement until the rogues in the city will disperse? Has your lord thought about it?" "Go away?" Zhichang shrugged his shoulders and said, "Chief Zhi doesn't remember that Kanto ever proposed to disperse the ronin. It was not clearly written in the first article of the oath, Kanto does not interfere with the ronin who are guarding the city. Presumably my lord does not." Will you forget it so soon?" Itakura Katsushige was so angry that he wanted to slap him a few times.At the beginning, he had some sympathy for the chief governor who received Chi Duo Zhengxin's cold reception, but after hearing these words, his sympathy disappeared.When great misfortunes happen to the world, there are always some strange clowns in high places.How could the fate of Osaka Castle be entrusted to such a thing?At least, in the hearts of Mr. Jiakang and the people around him, he wanted to resolutely consolidate peace, but there were such a group of mobs in Daban City! Sheng Zhong originally thought that the governor had already made up his mind, and if he could postpone it until a certain time, he would be able to persuade the ronin to disperse on his own, so he made a special visit today.After asking, I found out that this person's heart is full of mud, and he still speaks out of reason! "My lord, then according to the oath, what I just said doesn't count. Just now I put myself in your place and considered the matter of Osaka, and I found two things that make people worry: first, whether Osaka uses salary to support the ronin How should they be distributed? Listen, when they were gathered in the first place, they might still have the idea of ​​victory..., so everyone is probably thinking about high officials and rich salary. Therefore, if more than 600,000 shi were distributed to them, they might No. Once they understand that there is no benefit distribution, how can they leave so easily? Therefore, the only way is to divide up all the remaining gold and silver, and then apologize to them. I say this is just a trick, and the repairman has already made it clear. I don't want me to interfere with the oath again. Shengzhong once again solemnly retracts the foreword." Suppressing his unhappiness, Shengzhong gave a respectful salute. "Secondly, let's talk about the postponement of the landfill now." With his usual seriousness and thoughtfulness, Katsushige tried his best to be polite to the governor, "If the trouble finally gets to the point of negotiating with the Imperial Palace, before that, I think Mr. Repair It is best to thank the Great Imperial Palace first. Because this time the war started, it was the Great Imperial Palace that forced you to drag it until winter. Do you understand? If the general and all the banners think that the war will start in autumn, there will be no grain of Lumi. Hey, The Youfu is pitiful, and the common people will suffer miserably. The Imperial Palace specially waits for you to finish the harvest. This kind of painstaking effort... If you don't understand this painstaking effort, it's simply... Sigh! I'm talking too much." Ono Zhichang was stunned.He bit his lip and stared blankly at Katsuo.But, can Katsushige's sincerity really make him sober?
