Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Mrs. Asheng

After the meal, Miura repeatedly expressed his gratitude to Tokugawa Ieyasu with needles, and then stepped back.He wanted to stay in the city overnight before leaving for Edo.Judging by his appearance, he won't stay in Edo for long, and he will definitely go to Izu quickly to start shipbuilding. Ben Duo Zhengchun went out to see them off, only Madam A Sheng and Bu Zhai were left in the room, and the servants were all waiting in another room. The maid came in with a lantern.Mrs. A Sheng could no longer be silent, she smiled and said: "Master General, you are so confused today, you said that you want to betroth my younger sister to Acupuncture, how can I have such a younger sister?"

Jiakang leaned on the table, drank tea and said, "I haven't told you yet." He put down the tea bowl and looked at Mrs. A Sheng. "Hehe, just as you said, the concubine has no younger sister." "No, you have." "Oh?" "Tadao Okubo picked a younger sister for you." "She... Whose girl is she?" "I asked Zhong Neighbor, and he said that the girl looks a lot like you." "Huh? Can you be my sister?" "Everyone in the world is one family. What's more, they look very similar. You might as well let your father adopt her as an adopted daughter. She is the daughter of Edo prison warden Ma Jin Kan Jieyou, and she is also a devout foreign believer. She was reluctant at first, but she heard Said that although the needle is a red-haired man, he is more faithful than a warrior, so he agreed."

"Oh." "This is a good match from heaven, so I will call it your sister to increase my dignity. What do you think?" Mrs. A Sheng was so surprised that she was speechless for a while.Although she was slightly resentful of Ieyasu's self-assertion, she admired him immensely. Ah Sheng knew very well that after Takechiyo was born, Ieyasu was busy with government affairs all day long.But in his busy schedule, he was able to think of these things.Thinking of this, she felt quite proud, only in this way can she command the world. "Bu Zhai, have you written down the conversation I had with the needle?"

"Yes. There should be no omissions." "Okay. When Zhengchun comes back, tell him to start preparing for the needle wedding as soon as possible. In addition, recruit skilled sailors, boatmen, and blacksmiths. By the way, young people are very forgetful. You write it down and give it to him." "As ordered." Mrs. Asheng smiled heartily.The protagonist does not say that the elderly are easy to forget things, but that young people are forgetful, which makes her feel very funny. "Hehe, Mr. General is talking ironically today. Hehe." "No, this is not an irony. What do you think, Bu Zhai?" Since he became a general, Ieyasu has always been serious during the day, but at night, he will easily say something intimate to everyone.

"Adults say young people are forgetful?" "Yes. When a person is young, there are many mundane things and he is easily distracted." "Yes." Bu Zhai agreed. "Tell Itakura Katsushige about the Toyokuni Festival." Ieyasu turned to Buzai again, and said to him, "This matter should be done according to Chaya's ideas. Let Kakukura, Sueyoshi, Yodoya, Amagasakiya, Naya and Kiya from Sakai Port also join in. The director is responsible for the security of the day, be careful The thugs are making trouble. You write it down. On the occasion of this grand ceremony, if anyone dares to make trouble, a severe ceremony will be imposed!"

"Obey." While Bu Zhai was writing quickly, Mrs. A Sheng took the words again: "In a world of peace, there will be warriors to attack instead." She frowned, with a worried expression on her face. Ieyasu stared at Mrs. A Sheng and asked, "You know this too?" "Yes. Those who have no other livelihood but to fight, how can they live without their wages?" "If you were, how would you save those ronin?" Ah Sheng tilted his head without showing any weakness, and replied, "First of all, let the daimyos accept them as subordinates." Ieyasu waved his hand and said, "That's not enough. Although daimyos can be taken in, they are limited after all."

"Then, mint more money and add some new opportunities to make a living." "Mint more coins?" "Yes. Let them build cities, dredge rivers, and repair roads and bridges." Ieyasu couldn't help but fell into deep thought.There may be some inappropriateness in the woman's thinking, but it is implied.As the residence of those who handle heavy handles, the city is quite necessary to establish prestige, but there is no need for large-scale construction.However, Asheng's point of view is different.She believes that this move is to save the ronin.Hearing what she said, Ieyasu felt the urgency of the matter.Nowadays, there are no less than 200,000 ronin in various places.

"What a strange woman, you said you want to mint more coins." Ieyasu had a new judgment on Mrs. A Sheng.He pretended to be indifferent, but in fact he was engrossed in waiting for A Sheng's next words. "Yes, my concubine said so. Some people even said that if there were enough coins that day, Mr. Taige would not have thought of conquering the Ming Dynasty." Madam A Sheng replied without any scruples. "Master Taiko?" Ieyasu seemed to be particularly concerned about this sentence, "But if coins are minted, copper and gold will decrease, Ah Sheng."

"My lord, you only think of yourself." "Oh? I don't understand that. What do you use to make gold coins?" "Use the gold in the General's treasury." "Gold will still decrease." "No, no one will throw away gold. I believe that everyone will cherish it, it's just that the placement is different." "You mean the gold is just moving from my vault to someone else's, that's all?" "Yes. Just put it in the adult's treasury, the gold is only the adult's gold, but when it is cast into coins, it can become the gold of the world."

"You mean money is the treasure of circulation?" "Exactly. Money and gold will make the world more industrious. Instead of trying to persuade the warriors to take care of the family business, it is better to use coins to motivate them. This method is more effective." Mrs. A Sheng seemed to be getting more and more interested, she leaned forward and said, "How much gold do you need for a family to save ten taels of gold coins?" "Twelve taels per household?" "In this way, the family will not be embarrassed. They will not think about how to use it, but how to increase it, so they will use gold coins to buy family property, plant mulberry and grain. This is the real consideration for the people."

"Asheng!" Ieyasu said loudly suddenly, "Who did you listen to? How could you think of this?" "Hehe, my lord general will never lose anything, as long as you put other things equivalent to the value of coins into the vault." "Asheng..." Ieyasu tried to interrupt her, but Mrs. Asheng continued to talk: "Master Taige reserves gold, but it is idle and cannot be used by the world. Because he didn't know how to think about the people, he thought of conquering the Ming Dynasty. He mistakenly thought that only Conquest by force can increase wealth. Hehe, this is indeed not my opinion, someone told me this." Ieyasu couldn't help holding his breath.Coins and wealth were not unthought of by him.But the novel saying that one household keeps ten taels of gold touched Ieyasu's heart.So far, he had not considered it in this way.The habit of barter is deeply ingrained, and coins are only held in the hands of a few people like Yongle Tongbao, and money is no longer money. Ieyasu originally thought that if the increasing gold in the treasury was cast into coins and flowed to the people, the gold would decrease.But thinking about it now, it was a big mistake.If there are too many coins, the price of goods will rise, and the coins will be worthless. He has always avoided this.But perhaps it is precisely because the quantity is not enough that the common people save coins as treasures.As Mrs. A Sheng said, if each household has ten taels of gold, it will encourage the world to work hard and accumulate family wealth. "Asheng, who told you this?" Ieyasu took a calm breath, paused, and continued, "Everyone is led by the nose by money. If so, is the so-called Bushido still the way to survive?" "Hehe." Madam A Sheng laughed again.She seemed to have expected that Ieyasu would ask such a question, "That's an outdated view. General, for the sake of the world, specially minted coins, which can also show your merit, and this prestige and merit are enough..." Mrs. Asheng suddenly said two names: "These are what Goto Shozaburo and Hasegawa Fujihiro said. When they were waiting for the adults, they talked about these things, and the concubine happened to overhear them." "Zhuang Saburo and Fujihiro?" Ieyasu smacked his lips lightly, and said to Bu Zhai, "Bu Zhai, did you hear that? I thought these ideas were a bit weird, but they are really good." Goto Shosaburo was originally in charge of the inner court clothes, but now Edo and Fushimi are in charge of the treasury, which is quite prestigious.Ieyasu Kawafujihiro, brother of Mrs. Anezin, Ieyasu's concubine, was promoted to Nagasaki magistrate.Both of them are newcomers appointed by Ieyasu to welcome the peace. "They say there aren't enough coins?" "Master General..." "Is there any other idea?" "Sir, won't you summon Goto immediately and ask him to mint more coins?" "Bastard! Don't talk too much, go and serve up the fried rice noodles!" Jiakang deliberately pretended to be angry, but he was thinking about Mrs. Asheng's words in his heart.For himself, for the common people... Jiakang appreciates these words and feels that there is a deep meaning in them. A person's life is either for himself or for others.But as long as a person is alive, he cannot avoid doing things for himself.Living for others is not so simple.As long as they are mortals, they will unknowingly cause pain and commit sins inadvertently.It is not easy to live for others. Jiakang devoted himself to creating a peaceful and prosperous world. Those who kill people dare not kill, and those who blame others dare not complain.He often harbors a guilty conscience and doesn't know how to make amends to those who died in vain.But if he doesn't kill the person who deserves to be killed, this life will be meaningless.Therefore, he must always keep "considering others" in mind, and bet his life and wealth for the peace of the world. Thinking about it carefully, Ieyasu's situation is unspeakably sad.Instead of apologizing to everyone, he chanted Namo Amitabha Buddha, concealed his sorrow, and stood proudly and confidently in front of everyone, otherwise it would have caused riots. When Mrs. Asheng brought fried rice noodles and a sugar pot according to her words, Honda Masanari and Naruse Masari walked in.Naruse Masanari is now appointed as the governor of Sakai Port, and he is also the minister of Ieyasu. "Oh, Zheng Cheng, what's your hurry?" After Jiakang finished speaking, he suddenly asked, "Are you thinking of yourself, or of the common people?" Zhengcheng raised his head in surprise, looked at Zhengchun, then at Mrs. Asheng and Bu Zhai, "I don't know what the general meant? I came here to discuss the Fengguo Festival with your lord." "Shouldn't Naya and wooden houses in Sakai Port also be included?" "Yes. What I'm going to talk about next is not about this matter. A bannerman asked angrily: Why is the Fengguo Festival held?" "Oh?" "Some people say, has the general forgotten the humiliation he suffered when he was forced to go to Guanbashu? Someone said that he would attack the shrine on the day of the ceremony and destroy the Fengguo Shrine in one fell swoop. Human feelings are fierce..." Jiakang raised his hand and said, "Zhengcheng, do you want to live for yourself or for others? You haven't answered my words yet." Naruse Masamari was stunned for a moment.He had such an important matter to report, but Ieyasu seemed to be stubborn about it. "Of course it's for the sake of the common people. I have never thought about my own affairs." After a long time, Zheng Chengcai replied.He really puts business first at all times. "Oh? Good!" Ieyasu nodded slightly, and said, "Then, I will entrust them to you." "them?" "We have such grievances, and the Toyotomi family will not be peaceful. Since you live for others with all your heart, you must be aware of this." Naruse Masamari blinked his eyes in bewilderment, with a panicked expression on his face, "This... well, your lord is saying that the reason why our side is uneven is because of Osaka?" "Exactly. That's how things are in the world. I will accuse and stop the reckless people on our side, and won't let them act rashly. You should also do everything possible to prevent the Toyotomi family from rioting. Even if our side If it can be suppressed, the other party is dishonest, and riots are inevitable.” Zheng Cheng was stunned. Recently, Mr. Ieyasu seems to be deliberately making things difficult for young juniors such as Naruse Masanari and Ando Naoji.But today, Masanari came to report the anger of Banner, but Ieyasu asked about everything in Osaka, which surprised him.Actually, Zhengcheng didn't think about the situation in Osaka, nor did he start to investigate. Among the Banner soldiers, Mizuno, Kanematsu, Toda, Okubo and other clansmen announced that they would cause trouble during the sacrifice.Some people say that it would be better to simply make a scene at that time.They think that Fengguo Shrine is an eyesore now.Yasanzaemon, a wooden house in Sakai Port, heard about this and secretly told Masanari.After Honda became Zaemon, the hatred for Hideyoshi still existed deeply among the Banner soldiers, so Naruse Masanari hurried to see Ieyasu. Seeing that Zhengcheng remained silent, Jiakang joked, "That's all, you don't have to name them. It doesn't matter who is the mastermind, the important thing is that there is no trouble. As long as you are thinking of a way. Don't name them all. It can be seen that you are cautious." Zheng Cheng's eyebrows are upside down.It was unbearable that Ieyasu praised him knowingly that he knew nothing. "Master General!" "What's wrong?" "I don't know about this matter at all, I hope your lord will make it clear!" Naruse Masamari seldom contradicts others, this time's reaction surprised everyone.Even Honda Masamune looked at Masari in surprise.Maybe Ieyasu made Zhengcheng furious. "I'm not aware of it, let alone countermeasures. Who are they?" Zhengcheng was trembling with excitement.Ieyasu gently avoided his question, "I only think about myself." "What did your lord say?" "It's selfishness to provoke people. But they may not be aware of it. Some people think that they are Toyotomi or Tokugawa loyal ministers. Masahari, real loyal ministers are not like this." "Oh?" "A true loyal minister should be loyal to the way of heaven. It is because of Ieyasu's loyalty to the way of heaven that God entrusts the world to me. But if I take the wrong path of only thinking about myself, God will immediately take back the authority from me. You said just now , you have no time to think about your own affairs, do you?" "yes." "Very well. That way, things will be easier to handle. There are reasons for rioting, and if you forget these, you can't be fair." Naruse Masanari looked bewildered, glanced at the crowd in bewilderment, half understanding what Ieyasu said. "Forgive me for talking too much." Honda Masakazu said, "Virtue is not alone, there must be neighbors. Similarly, if there is no distinction between enemies and friends, how can we argue? People tend to forget this, what do you think, Naruse?" Naruse Masamari still didn't fully understand.He knew that this was Ieyasu's Zen language, but he still didn't know what Ieyasu wanted him to do.With his temperament, if he didn't know anything, he couldn't calm down.Ieyasu stopped talking, he seemed to want Masahari to think for himself. "My lord general." After a while, Zheng Cheng lowered his head in frustration, "My lord general will come forward to persuade those who try to cause trouble. I already understand this, but I don't know what to do." "No need to do anything." "what?" "It's useless to do things that don't match your temperament. Before you understand, don't do anything." "Does your lord have any other orders?" "Order?" "yes." "Idiot, I have already ordered, but you didn't understand." After Ieyasu finished speaking, he added some sugar to the fried rice noodles in front of him, and then pushed the sugar pot in front of Naruse Masanari. Naruse Masamari's face turned blue and pale.Among Ieyasu's cronies, he is also one of the few virtuous men.Not to mention that he has such a conceit, even the world thinks so. Sakai, Kanbara, Ii, and Honda, who were once known as the Four Great Generals, and many veterans of the genealogy generation left Ieyasu, or became daimyo, became the lord of a place, or assisted Hidetada.Now the veteran ministers around Ieyasu are Nagai Naakatsu and Itakura Katsushige, and it is now time for Honda Masunari, Naruse Masanari, Ando Naoji, Aoyama Narutoge, Shi Yao Masanobu and others to be in charge.Moreover, Naruse Masanari and Nagasaki Governor Hasegawa Fujihiro, Otsu Daikan Sue Yoshikanhei, Goto Shozaburo in charge of the Bank, Kamisho Commercial Director Chaya Kiyoji, Amagasaki County Construction Department Sutoku, and Hirayu Yanyun As lucky as Okubo Changan, the acting official of Nara, he was promoted to Sakai Port and became the backbone of the shogunate.But if he doesn't understand what Ieyasu means, how can he see others? Ieyasu pushed the sugar pot in front of Masanari, who tremblingly dug a spoonful, then pushed it to Honda Masanori, lost in thought. There are also people in Osaka who want to use this opportunity to start a riot. Could it be that the general wants me to go to Osaka?Even if I go to Osaka, who should I meet, what should I say, and what is the most effective and appropriate way to deal with it?No, first of all he should figure out who Ieyasu asked him to see and what to say. There is no doubt that the person in charge of Osaka is Katagiri Kemoto.But with Qie Yuan as a person, once he finds any signs, he will take the initiative to solve them.Or Ieyasu didn't ask him to meet Hideyori's cronies, but asked him to meet Mrs. Yodo's cronies?If you want to say Mrs. Yodo's confidant, I'm afraid it's Mrs. Ohno.But if you are a little careless, you will cause trouble instead.Therefore, he had to start an investigation and negotiate directly with the person who was preparing to cause trouble... Naruse Masanari was thinking about this, and Ieyasu said, "Masaka, I heard that a priest named Sodero wants to go to Edo?" "Yes. He said that if the adults allow him to preach in Edo, he will build a medicine hospital and treat the poor." "Have you checked the pastor's background?" "He's a Southern barbarian, of some Franciscan sect." "Is the priest a doctor?" "No, he knows some medicine himself, but he brought a doctor with him." "Oh, and you brought a doctor?" "Yes. What is Brooke Leon, and Bridger Leon, they are all awkward names." "Oh, and if I invite them, they're going to beg me to build them a church?" The topic changed completely, and Naruse Masamari became more and more anxious.But it also shows how busy Ieyasu is. It turned out that when everyone gathered to chat at night, they would definitely tell some anecdotes about the warriors and talk about the successes and failures of the military.But now, either mentioning such an awkward name as Brooke Leon, or talking about the geometry of Miura's needle, really changed the world. "Na Sodero seems to be different from the previous priests." Honda Masayoshi said, "I offered to build a church for him, but he declined and said that there is no need to bother." "He said no need?" "No, he said he would do it himself if necessary." "Oh? So he plans to build the Pharmacy Academy himself?" "Exactly. There are many sects in foreign religions, and the struggle between them seems to be very fierce." "I know. Among them, they belong to the old school of Nanman and the new school of red hair. Sodero may have seen us approaching the needle and others, and wanted to compare with them." "He seems to have this purpose." Zhengchun said, secretly glanced at Mrs. A Sheng, and laughed. "What's the matter? What do you remember? What ridiculous thing did Sodero do?" "I have never seen such a priest say such ridiculous things. He is a believer who does not abide by the rules." "What did he say? You might as well say it for everyone to hear." "This..." Zhengchun hesitated for a moment, looked at Mrs. Asheng with a smile, and said, "He said, I don't know if Master Da Nayan of Edo is interested in Nanban girls." "Huh? Southern barbarian girl?" "Haha, he said in a serious tone that if your lord wants to, he knows women who really want to marry a Japanese nobleman. He is willing to dedicate one of them to Lord Nayan, and let me ask Lord Dainagon if he can accept it." "Haha!" Ieyasu laughed loudly, "How come you didn't tell me about such an important matter until now?" "I dare not. If I say this, I will never dare to see Mrs. Da Nayan again. I heard that the priest also said similar things in Daban City. It seems to be his hobby to find marriages for Nanban women." "He also 'seeked marriage' to Xiu Lai?" The topic suddenly turned to Osaka, and Naruse Masamari couldn't help but stand up. If it is said that a Nanman woman is going to be presented to Xiuzhong, everyone can take it as a joke.The loyal and honest Xiuzhong has not taken a side room under the control of A Jiang and his wife.But if this matter were replaced by the young Hideyori, he would not be able to laugh it off.Children tend to love novelty toys.Didn't Ami's business just end?Putting a blonde woman next to Xiu Lai, what if he really likes it? "What a troublesome guy. What does Shurai say?" Zhengchun laughed again. "What's so ridiculous? How old is that woman?" Ieyasu asked. "Haha! What he wants to present to Osaka is not a beautiful woman." "It's not a beauty, is it an ugly girl?" "No, the man... is a child." Zhengchun looked at Mrs. Ah Xing again, as if he had some scruples. "Don't worry about Ah Sheng. You just say it clearly. The so-called naive, do you want to dedicate yourself to Xiu Lai as a servant?" "No, my lord missed it. It was not dedicated to Xiu Lai, but to Mrs. Dian. I heard that he said to Mrs. Dian at that time: Madam, don't you want to taste the flavor of Nanban?" Mrs. Asheng laughed, but Ieyasu's face suddenly sank, "Isn't it dedicated to Hideyori?" "Yes. Even Mrs. Yodo was taken aback, and immediately called Mr. Ono Jichang, saying that he didn't want to see that man again." Ieyasu groaned.He is not ignorant of Sodero's mind.Nasodero was impatient, or he was afraid that the red-haired man would steal the limelight, or he wanted to go to Osaka to preach.In this way, he is not a true believer.Back then, when Hideyoshi wanted to join a foreign religion driven by curiosity, the priest at that time said to him: "After your lord is baptized, you can only have one wife." He explicitly rejected Hideyoshi's request.If Hideyoshi had a priest like Piedro beside him at that time, maybe he would be able to join the foreign religion right away, and maybe Japan has become a country of foreign religion now. Ieyasu smiled lowly, "I'd like to meet Nasodero." At this time, Mrs. A Sheng smiled. "Asheng, what's so ridiculous?" "Hehe, my lord seems to want a blond stunner too." "Bastard! I just thought it would be better to exile Sodero to Edo." After Ieyasu finished speaking, his face turned red, quite embarrassed. Ieyasu thinks that Sodero is an old fox who should not be taken lightly. He claims to be a priest, but he knows the weakness of human beings.Even I was dreaming about it because of this: what do the beauties in Nanman look like? Ieyasu blamed himself while drinking tea.Although the priest was hateful, his bad nature was hard to change.Sodero is familiar with human feelings, and only he can do such a thing as offering child molestation to Mrs. Dian.Mrs. Dian must also be somewhat curious.How can such a dangerous person be allowed to do anything wrong?Don't worry about Mrs. Yodo, but Hideyori is quite different.Thinking of this, Jiakang said: "Zhengchun, maybe this matter should not be laughed off." "My lord means..." "Who brought Sodero to Mrs. Yodo in Osaka Castle?" "This..." Zhengchun said nervously, "It seems to be Akashi sweeping the department." "Akashi Sabu is also a devout foreign believer." "yes." "Zhengcheng, what's your opinion on this matter?" Ieyasu suddenly asked such a question, but Zhengcheng didn't realize it all at once. After a long time, Fang replied: "I think that Suodeluo must not be taken lightly." "What will you do with him?" "He wants to go to Edo to preach, and he needs to think carefully." "Then... what should we do? Just sit back and watch?" "It's better to take this opportunity to drive him out of Japan." "What is the reason to drive him away? You can't just say that because he wants to offer child prostitution to Mrs. Dian, you should drive him away." "It's better to let people from other sects come forward and report." "Then what should I say?" "It can be said that monogamy is the precept of the old religion, but there are lawbreakers who break the precept and defile the doctrine." "Okay, that's it." Ieyasu patted his knee suddenly and said.Zhengcheng thought that his opinion had been adopted.However, Ieyasu's thoughts were completely different from his: "I will let him go to Edo. Then let Da Nayan pay attention to his every move in Edo. If, as Masari said, let people from other sects come forward to report, Ieyasu will Getting bogged down in sectarian strife is also a violation of freedom of religion." Naruse Masanari looked at Ieyasu in astonishment, feeling very ashamed. "The suggestion is good, but it seems a bit small." "My lord has made it clear." "It seems reasonable to ask missionaries to leave Japan on the grounds of violating religious teachings, but it is actually a naive trick." Zhengcheng scratched his head in fear, and said, "I am afraid. I really think I am smart." "Zhengchun, do you really understand?" "Yes. It's just like what your lord usually says, you can't change with the same. In my mind, it's just these considerations, your lord." "Haha!" Ieyasu glanced at Zhengcheng with a smile, then looked at Zhengchun again, "Then let Zhengchun go, how about it?" "grown ups……" "Masaka, I asked Sodero to go to Edo. Therefore, you have to write a book and report to Edo Da Nagon about Sodero. But how will you tell him?" Zhengchun and Zhengcheng looked at each other.If the answer is not correct, I am afraid that I will not be able to step down. "Writing to Toshikatsu Doi, Sodero wants to tell Dana..." "How to speak?" "Presenting a blue-eyed beauty. Please allow her to create a medical facility and watch her performance..." "Oh, you've got the point." "Yes, yes!" Naruse Masanari was quite nervous, "Master Honda has understood the meaning of the general." "He made a big mistake." "Huh?" Zhengchun was puzzled. "Well said, but it's not appropriate to write to Li Sheng." "Please advise, my lord general." "Toshi Doi must have misunderstood. He is still young, so he may think Sodero is interesting." "yes." "However, your father doesn't think so. He has no interest in women. Therefore, he understands the same thing differently. He will think that Sodero is a villain and should not be taken lightly. The same thing, different people, Different ages, different situations, will make different understandings, what do you think?" Honda Masamune and Naruse Masamari looked at each other and sighed—Ieyasu was always convincing no matter the time. "Zhengchun, why didn't you think of writing to your father, but to Doi Toshikatsu?" here we go again!Pure thought.It is by no means that he dislikes this teaching method, it is just that he repeatedly pursues the same thing, which makes him unbearable: What a persistent old man! "Haha, you don't know it yourself. Then let me tell you, you made a major mistake in your thinking." "Mistake?" "Yes. You wouldn't think that this is the key to deep thinking." "Please advise, my lord!" "Listen well, Zhengcheng must also keep it in mind. This matter is actually not about talking to Zhengxin, nor about talking to Lisheng, but to tell Xiuzhong." "yes." "Therefore, the first thing to consider is who to tell Xiuzhong about this matter, so that he can come up with a better solution." "yes." "You finally understand? Li Sheng's words may be ignored by Xiuzhong. But if the old official Zhengxin said this, he will take it seriously." "I understand, and I appreciate it." Zhengchun seemed to wake up suddenly, lowered his head, and put his hands on the ground. Ieyasu laughed and said, "Lie! Pure!" "what?" "Are you really convinced?" "Of course! I should really think of these things, and feel terrified." "Huh! You must be thinking, this old man, why is he babbling on and on, only preaching! You pretend to understand, but you don't think so in your heart. What, let me guess right?" At this moment, Mrs. A Sheng who was next to her said: "My lord guessed right. Mr. Honda, please answer like this. At this time, Mr. General likes to say bad things about people. This is his hobby, so you can make him happy." Be happy." Jiakang raised his face and said, "Ah Sheng, you talk too much! If it is someone else, I will never forgive you lightly." "Even though my lord said this, he found it interesting in his heart. I still know a thing or two about these things." "Oh, Bu Zhai, shouldn't this woman be kicked out?" Bu Zhai was a little at a loss, and stammered: "Ah... this... if this is the case..." Ieyasu narrowed his eyes and smiled happily.This was his way of teaching, and it was the joy of his life. Ieyasu often deliberately made things difficult for younger generations, insisting on asking the ins and outs of the matter. "Things always have the outside and the inside. Just look at the surface and draw conclusions. Even if the conclusion is good, it is not complete." He used to say this before, but lately he has become more inquisitive. Honda Masunari, Naruse Masanari, Ando Naoji and others sometimes even feel resentful.But whenever they think like this, Ieyasu can always accurately detect their thoughts. "The general is still getting old, so going to the bottom of the matter, it's not teaching people, it's clearly torturing people. It wasn't like this before." When Masamune mentioned this to Katsushige Itakura, the older Katsushige unexpectedly denied his statement: "You are very wrong. This is because the general knows how to think carefully. It's a huge loss." According to Katsushige, the reason why Ieyasu became rambling was because his vision became wider and his thoughts became deeper. "My lord knows life and death very well, so I want to give everyone his every word as his last words and gifts. You should listen carefully and write it down!" Hearing this, Zhengchun also understood.But although he knew it in his heart, whenever he was pressed by Jiakang, he felt out of breath.At this time, Mrs. A Sheng would always open a window for him to breathe.If it was other side rooms, they would often not speak or dare to speak, but Mrs. A Sheng seemed to have no scruples.Whenever at this time, Ieyasu didn't care, and often smiled helplessly to give Mrs. A Sheng face.Zhengchun also had a false alarm today. "Bu Zhai, what should I do? As long as he sees the truth and the lack of words, Ah Sheng will always get serious and add a sentence. What do you think?" "This... I really never thought about it." Zhengchun became more and more at a loss.Thinking about it carefully, Mrs. A Sheng smoothed things over, probably because of him.And if this matter is clearly pointed out, it will inevitably make people embarrassed. "Maybe Ah Sheng likes Zhengchun. Bu Zhai, tell me." "I don't think so." "Hey! I'd better ask Ah Sheng. Ah Sheng, do you like Zhengchun?" It becomes awkward when the atmosphere is played. It can be said that Mrs. A Sheng is Jia Kang's most favored person, but Jia Kang mocked her so much, no matter who heard this, they would be shocked.What is more terrible than the jealousy of an old man?Besides, Ieyasu is not a person without jealousy.Because of this, the audience was silent and the atmosphere was suffocating. Mrs. A Sheng said to Jia Kang indifferently: "Master General, you can't just look at this side." "What did you say? This woman... Then tell me, what should I think?" "The more stupid the child is, the more dedicated the parents must be." Ieyasu looked at Zhengchun in surprise.Some samurai might take this as a lifelong insult. "Hehe." Asheng laughed heartily again, "I want to surprise the adults first, and then talk about my humble opinion." "Oh." "Even if Zhengchun thinks it's inappropriate, he should show his admiration for what your lord said. He might be annoyed by it." "yes." "The General likes to deliberately make things difficult for others, and to sprinkle salt on people's wounds. Because of this, Zhengchun's thoughts are confused, and he doesn't know whether he is angry with himself or the General." "Did you hear that? Zhengcheng, Bu Zhai, if I followed this woman's temperament, I really don't know what she would say. My thoughts were also disturbed by her. It can't be like this. Ah Sheng, my old bones , I won’t have too many days in this world, why don’t you betrothed to Zhengcheng, okay?” Zhengcheng was relieved, and Ieyasu seemed to be pointing at Mrs. Asheng. Mrs. A Sheng laughed again, "Master General is an old bone? I am really surprised. My lord is quick-witted, no less than a young man in his twenties, but..." "But what?" "Since it is the order of the general, I dare not disobey it." "You promised to marry him?" "Yes. On the 33rd anniversary of the general's death, the concubine will marry right away." Everyone roared with laughter. Ieyasu's eyes widened in surprise, and he turned to Naruse Masanari, "Massari, Taiko-sama also entrusted Mrs. Yodo to me four or five days before his death. I was very embarrassed at that time. Mrs. Yodo is not as smart as Asheng. So, Zhengcheng, you don’t have to be nervous, just go and visit her. I want to make this grand ceremony an unprecedented one. You can ask Mrs. Dian what she thinks. In this way, the grievance will be eliminated by itself.” Zhengcheng suddenly realized, and secretly glanced at Zhengchun.Mrs. A Sheng was sitting upright at this time.
