Chapter 1 Chapter One

During the summer and autumn of the fourth year of Qingchou, the sun was scorching hot, and Koetsu Moto Ami was in a hurry, only on his way. He wanted to return to Fushimi from Osaka by Yodoya's boat.Passing by his own door, he didn't even go in, so he went straight to Chaya Shirojiro's house in Demizukacho. It has been five months since Ishida Mitsunari was no longer in charge.There was a cool breeze blowing on the streets of the capital, but Guangyue's forehead was dripping with sweat. Even if he ran into acquaintances, he pretended not to see them and hurried on his way.He has always been impulsive when things happen, but today it seems even more unusual, obviously his eyes are red with anxiety.

As soon as she arrived at the tea house, Guangyue went straight in, breathless and said to the doorman: "Hurry up and tell your master that Guangyue has something important to ask for advice and needs an interview. The doorman knew Guangyue's temper well, so he immediately led him to the door: "Please. The shopkeeper is in the room." After speaking, he left. Although Guangyue was very anxious, she took off her shoes according to the etiquette.As a follower of the Nichiren sect, Koetsu has always followed the rules.Things are urgent today, and it is too late to pay attention to everything, but this gift has not been forgotten.

"Oh, Mr. Motoami, long time no see." Chaya greeted him. "Yeah. You've always been good... It's urgent, so there's no time to exchange pleasantries. I'm here today to discuss a secret matter." The tea house couldn't help being stunned, seeing Guangyue's attitude, something serious happened, and said, "Where did you come from?" Come?" "I came out of Maeda House in Osaka City and stopped by the Yodoya. I heard something important there." "What is it?" "It is said that the government will move into Osaka City soon...Of course, I have heard about it before."

"Oh?" "It is reasonable for the Uifu to move to Osaka. It is for no other reason. It is the strength of the Uchifu that makes the world barely peaceful. Therefore, it is natural for the Uchifu to move. At the Maeda House, I also talked about it with Hizen Morishaga. But The rumor I heard at the Yodoya is really strange." "Mr. Guangyue, can you explain more clearly. What rumors did you hear at the Yodoya's house?" "If the Neifu moved to Osaka, it would be too dangerous! What I mean is that someone wants to take advantage of the time when the Neifu enters the city...everything is planned."

"Is this true?" "Why, don't you trust me, sir? Why did I lie to you? What's even more surprising is that it is said that the mastermind is Maeda Hizenmoru." Guangyue was startled and wiped the sweat from her forehead. Chaya's complexion changed drastically.He is still serving the Tokugawa clan, and Guangyue also has his heart for Ieyasu, and his admiration for Ieyasu is no less than that of the tea house.Chaya Shiro Jiro was originally Ieyasu's retainer, but the reason why Guangyue admired Ieyasu was quite different. Guangyue firmly supports Lizheng An Guoyi's theory, and his temperament is incompatible with Toyotomi Hideyoshi's bold and unrestrained.When Hideyoshi was still alive, Guangyue once commented blatantly and unscrupulously: "He acts perversely and governs the world entirely according to his interests and preferences, which will definitely lead to the disorder of "Tao". Therefore, once he passes away, there will be riots in the world immediately. Patriarch There is no lie." Now, the facts are confirming his prediction step by step.Therefore, it can be said that Guangyue's admiration for Ieyasu is entirely due to his belief and aversion to Hideyoshi.At the same time, Guangyue is also a loyal supporter of Maeda Toshiie, Toshicho and his son. "Although the beliefs are different, the eldest son of Da Nayan is as pure and selfless as a trickling spring. He is diligent in pursuing the beautiful things in the world. I respect him from the bottom of my heart."

But today, Guangyue met with Toshicho, and they praised Ieyasu together, but when they turned around, they heard completely opposite rumors at Yodoya's house. "The main envoy who tried to murder the life of the inner court is Maeda... Is that what Yodoya said?" "Yeah, Guangyue was taken aback. Guangyue was still thinking that Mr. Chawu might have heard similar rumors, so Fang rushed over thinking wildly all the way." "Guangyue, what do you think about these rumors?" Chaya leaned forward and asked. Guangyue frowned and muttered: "Mr. Chaya, how could such a thing happen? Others dare not say it, but I can assure you that Hizen Mamoru will never do such a thing...to stir up trouble, deliberately destroy peace, Hizen Shouju would not be so despicable!"

"Since that's the case, someone must have deliberately created rumors in an attempt to drive a wedge between the Inner Palace and Hizen Mamoru. What do you think?" "Yes. This is not a trivial matter. What should you do in your opinion?" "It's not a trivial matter." "Someone wants the world to be in chaos." The more Guang Yue said, the angrier she became, her eyes glowing brightly.Chaya Shiro Jiro lowered his head and fell into deep thought—in this situation, he must remain calm, gain insight into the truth, and never lose his senses like Guangyue.

After a while, the tea house just smiled calmly, "Haha, I don't think there is any need to worry that much." He picked up the cigarette pouch calmly on purpose. "Don't worry? How can you not worry?" Guangyue was puzzled. "Since you think there is nothing wrong with Maeda, why worry about it? However, I will secretly convey the matter to the Neifu." "Chawu, Guangyue is not joking. Have you ever thought that if such unfounded rumors can spread, it means that someone is trying to use it to drive a wedge between Neifu and Maeda, am I right?"

Chaya Shiro Jiro remained calm: "Guangyue, do you even know the mastermind who spread these rumors?" "Of course I know." Guangyue nodded emphatically, "These rumors did not come from other people's mouths, but the rumors were spread by Nagatsu Masakaya, Masuda Changsheng and others. Yodoya has already told me that these words were heard from the two of them Come." "Oh, Fengxing actually said such words?" "It's really unexpected. Rumors also say that the mastermind is Maeda, and the accomplice is Asano Dan Masaobi Nagamasa..." "Oh, it seems that it is indeed not a general rumor."

"The two have always had a good relationship with the Neifu. Not only I, but also Mr. Chaya knows it very well. Hijikata Kouchi, Ono Xiu and others have always been enemies of the Neifu. This may be true. But how could Maeda, Asano and others try not to Beneficial to the inner court? This is absolutely impossible. From this point of view, there must be someone deliberately creating suspicions, not only trying to make a difference, but also trying to cause riots... This is definitely not Guangyue's imagination. If not, these rumors would never be It won't reach Guang Yue'er, so I came here quickly and asked Mr. Chaya for help."

"Hearing what you said, it seems that there is such a thing. You said you came to beg me, but why?" "Mr. Chaya, please report this matter to the Inner Palace immediately. If the Inner Palace really has doubts about Maeda Hizenshou, please send me to the Hizenshou office immediately so that we can act according to circumstances. I will ask Mr. Chaya for this matter." .” At this point, Chaya Shirojiro breathed a sigh of relief—Guangyue was actually worried that Maeda would arouse Ieyasu's suspicion due to rumors.He then said: "Okay, I understand. This matter really needs to be reported to the Neifu carefully... Guangyue, I think your words are true. But I still want to ask you, trying to drive apart the relationship between the Neifu and Maeda and Asano behind the scenes Who is the culprit?" "That goes without saying, of course it is Ishida Jibu Shaosuke!" Guangyue replied without hesitation, "Here is the evidence: the woman Ishida brought back from Hakata Yanagachi has mysteriously disappeared recently." Guangyue's problem lies in jumping to conclusions, and knowing this, Chaya Shirojiro, who is older than him, has to be more careful: "That woman?" "Exactly. That woman was originally entrusted by Shimaya and Kamiya to come to Beijing with Ishida. In fact, it is not difficult to imagine that he took that woman away because he had no choice but to do so. But in any case, that woman should at least be Ishida's The purpose is to inform Guangyue. Since the woman is nowhere to be seen, it means that she has either been killed or imprisoned, and the two must be one of them.” Guangyue said more and more passionately, “Mr. I don’t let the girls go, what else can’t be done? Something big must have happened. Also, I am also very puzzled about Shitian’s taking refuge in the inner mansion this spring, and I always feel that it is a complete conspiracy.” "Oh, conspiracy?" "Isn't it? He was cornered by the military generals who followed the Taige since he was a child, and he had nowhere to settle in Osaka. He had no choice but to go to the Inner Palace and return to the territory safely with the help of the Inner Palace. What did he do after that? Guangyue couldn't be more clear about what he did. First, to overhaul the city; second, to summon the rogues; third, to win over the daimyo; fourth, to frequently use divisive schemes, which is not good for the inner government. If I were the governor, I would do this do it like that." Chaya Shiro Jiro nodded vigorously, and said with a smile: "So, the Neifu was tricked by Ishida?" Guangyue shook her head incessantly: "What kind of talk is this! How could the Neifu be easily fooled by Ishida. The Neifu must have seen through Shitian's tricks before giving him a way out." "Oh! This is the first time I've heard that in my life. You mean, the Imperial Palace knew that he was going to rebel sooner or later, but specially arranged for Mr. Horio and Mr. Yuuki Hideyasu to escort him back to Omi?" "Hahaha," Guangyue smiled without any restraint, "this is the difference between a mediocre person and a sage. Guangyue's judgments are all based on the "Lotus Sutra", and there is no mistake. Guangyue believes that , even though the inner government has seen through the Zhibu’s intention of treason, it still wants to do its best to protect him. Why is that? Because the inner government knows that the time is far from ripe.” "Good advice, Guangyue, I have learned a lot today." "It would be fine if 30% knew some introspection, but when he returned to the territory, he wanted to win over those who had a rift with the inner government, trying to plot trouble. At that time, the inner government would catch those fools... the inner government did this , it is definitely not a temporary expedient measure, but to show the world the righteousness of the world. Even so, I can't just watch the inner government and its allies being alienated and tricked, so I hurried to ask sir..." When Guangyue Langlang said this, Chaya Shiro Jiro suddenly raised his hand and interrupted him.Chawu didn't think that Guangyue made a mistake in his judgment, but was worried that Guangyue's frankness might be detrimental to himself.As the saying goes: Sickness enters through the mouth, and misfortune comes out from the mouth. Guangyue is so open-minded, I am afraid that there will be great worries.The tea house appreciates Guangyue very much, because Guangyue possesses the courage and sharpness that he does not possess, and acts swiftly and resolutely.But because of this, Guangyue needs to be more reserved, to be more stable and sophisticated.Chaya said softly: "I understand, there is no need to say any more." "Mister understand?" "Ishida Shang is hostile to the Uchifu, and is carrying out the conspiracy in an orderly manner. This time, he took advantage of the opportunity of the Uchifu to move to Osaka in an attempt to create disadvantages. As for whether the mastermind was Maeda Hizenshou or Asano Dansho, it was completely fabricated out of thin air. Through these rumors, create some doubts around the inner palace... am I right?" "That's not wrong at all!" Guangyue nodded excitedly, "Zhibu's thoughts are: the Neifu is heavily guarded, they have no chance of success, but it's not bad to pour a pot of cold water between Maeda, Asano and Neifu." "I also agree with your point of view. He must never be allowed to succeed. Maeda has absolutely no intention of betraying the inner government—Honami Koetsu, who puts the world first, has guaranteed this. Hahaha, I understand, I understand. I will rush to Fushimi, pass this on to the inner court." "Haha, sir, I just laughed. The reason why I did this is that I don't want the world of peace created by Youfu and Taige to fall into chaos again. Anyone who has a heart has a mirror in his heart, and he believes that the next person in the world is not Tokugawa. The mansion is none other than the mansion. This is also in accordance with God's will... In short, please Mr. Chaya must convey Guangyue's meaning to the inner mansion, please." Guangyue chatted with the tea house for a while, talking about the Chojiro pottery that he was obsessed with recently, and then left.As soon as Guangyue left, Chaya Shiro Jiro immediately ordered people to prepare a sedan chair, and went straight to Fushimi Castle. Regarding the move from Fushimi to Osaka, there are many rumors in the world. What is true and which is false, even Chaya Shiro Jiro is a monk of Joji who is not sure. The cause of this incident was the escape of Ishida Mitsunari to Tokugawa Prefecture this spring.When the world heard that Sancheng had fled to Tokugawa Prefecture, they all thought he had thrown himself into a trap.But what is surprising is that under the protection of Ieyasu, Sancheng returned to his home city - Omi Sawa Yamashiro safely.When people heard the news, they couldn't help but dejectedly and looked at each other in blank dismay. It was truly unbelievable. This was an ending that no one expected. At that time, even Chaya Shiro Jiro was at a loss.Ieyasu not only helped 30%, but also had a fierce quarrel with the seven generals who chased him all the way to Fushimi, which caused the seven generals to turn against him.Ieyasu was also worried that Sancheng would have an accident on the way home, so he specially sent Naka old Horio Yoshiharu and Mikawa Mori Hideyasu to lead heavy troops to personally escort Sancheng to Otsu.Hideyasu is Hidetaka's elder brother, was Hideyoshi's adopted son, and now inherits Yuki's family. The surprise of the world is not surprising.For Ieyasu's enthusiastic help, Sancheng was full of tears and expressed his gratitude. He also specially donated the family heirloom - the authentic famous sword to Yuuki Hideyasu as a token of gratitude. "The situation at that time was witnessed by the villain. It seems that the inner government and the government really cherish each other..." A retainer of the Yuki family deliberately reported the situation to the tea house in detail. When Ieyasu left Mukoshima's mansion and moved back to Fushimi Castle, it happened to be the sixth day after Sancheng returned to Sawayama Castle safely, that is, the thirteenth day of March in the fourth year of Keicho. "It's unbelievable. Is it for this purpose that the inner government helps the government?" Some people commented that Sancheng did not object to Ieyasu's move into Fushimi Castle, but it was compensation for Ieyasu's saving his life. The ones staying behind at Fushimi Castle were Maeda Genichi and Nagatsu Masakae Erbongsho, and they took turns guarding the castle.On the same day, Horio Yoshiharu, who is related to Maeda Genyi, said that he had something to do in the city and wanted to borrow the key.Maeda Gen handed over the key to him in order to be unsuspecting.As a result, Jiqing quickly opened the city gate, let Ieyasu and his retainers enter the city, and handed over all the keys to the warehouses to Ieyasu. In this way, people have new speculations.The people in the capital and Fushimi also talked about it. "It turns out that the inner government has already arranged everything. First drive the troublesome Zhibu back to the territory, and then enter Fushimi Castle." "Impossible! To enter Fushimi Castle, there is no need to help Zhibu, let alone send troops to send Zhibu back to the territory." "You can sell a favor first. Afterwards, wouldn't it be difficult for Zhibu to object?" Ieyasu entered Fushimi Castle, and immediately exchanged oaths with Mori Terumoto, and then exchanged eternal good oaths with Shimadzu Yoshihiro, Shimadzu Tadahiro and others.In late April, Ieyasu asked his sixth son Tadaki to enter into a marriage contract with Date Masamune's daughter Goro Hachime, and then allowed the daimyo in Beijing to return to his hometown to rectify government affairs.Whether it is entering Fushimi Castle, getting close to Shimadzu and other daimyos, and allowing them to return to their hometowns, in the eyes of the world, it is undoubtedly a series of defiant and tough measures. But the Chaya knew Ieyasu's painstaking efforts in these actions: they were all to avoid riots and maintain a peaceful situation.Ieyasu just placed the chess piece in the place where it should be placed without hesitation... At this moment, Guangyue came to visit. Ieyasu really wants to enter Osaka this fall?The tea house is hard to guess.On the surface, Chaya Shiro Jiro was an "imperial merchant" who specialized in supplying silk materials to dignitaries, but no one in the Tokugawa Prefecture treated him as an ordinary merchant. On weekdays, it has become a common practice for teahouses to be immediately invited in as long as the housekeeper informs them.But today, the housekeeper said that there was a visitor and made him wait for half an hour.The tea house was deeply surprised, so he inquired about the news from Itakura Katsushige, who had always had a close relationship with him.Katsushige Itakura shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know. Your Excellency is talking to an elder from Yamato Yagyu Village. It is said that this person is proficient in the art of war." "The elders of Liusheng Village?" "Yes, this person calls himself Shi Zhouzhai, and he seems to have a strange temperament. His name means a ship made of stone, so it cannot float in the world. His real name seems to be... By the way, it seems to be Yagyu Zongyan. The sect of Dazong, strict strict." "Yagyu Zongyan...how did he and your lord know each other?" "My lord specially invited him here to ask him about swordsmanship, and he solemnly performed the master's ceremony just like he did to Tianhai before. Your lord is really like a child." "As a teacher, are you often reprimanded by him?" "Yes. But once an adult asks someone for advice, he immediately turns into a pure child, a well-behaved and docile cat. It's incredible to think that an adult who scares us all the time is now like this." Hearing this, Chaya Shiro Jiro already understood Ieyasu's mind to some extent: what he must be troubled with.Since the person he was talking to was a "master of swordsmanship," he must be perplexed by something related to the war.Things may be true as Guangyue said, and Ieyasu may have sensed Ishida's malice. After a long time, Honda Zhengxin came to invite the tea house.In the past, the tea house was not very fond of Zhengxin.He felt that although Zhengxin was full of talent, he was overly gloomy and lacked benevolence.But recently, Chaya found that the eerie feeling that Zhengshin gave him has gradually disappeared, and he couldn't help introspecting: This is not only because Zhengshin has matured with age, but also because he is constantly influenced by Ieyasu's benevolence. "Mr. Chaya, follow me quickly. My lord wants to introduce a sage for you." "Xianda? Is that the master of swordsmanship?" "Yes. Your Excellency is impressed by Zhengxin. Your Excellency is nearly sixty years old and has a noble status, but as long as he is an elder with a skill, he will sincerely ask for advice and will not slack off for seven consecutive days." "Seven consecutive days?" "Is that false? My lord once said that after listening to Master Tianhai's teachings, you will finally understand life." "Then, for that master who claims to be Shishuzhai, isn't it also..." While speaking, Shiro Jiro of the tea house suddenly shut his mouth when he arrived in front of Ieyasu's room, and walked into Ieyasu's room under the guidance of Honda Masanobu .He was taken aback.Hearing Zhengxin and Shengzhong's description, he thought that the host and guest must be talking and laughing freely, but the situation in front of him was completely opposite. Ieyasu's obese body was leaning on the support table, as proud as usual, while Yagyu Zongyan, who had made Ieyasu perform the seven-day teacher ceremony, sat timidly at the bottom, motionless.This is not a master and apprentice, it is clearly a pawn to see a general. "Your Excellency is still dignified." Far away, the tea house hastily fell to the ground and saluted. "Hahaha." Ieyasu smiled boldly, "What's wrong with you today, it's unusual, come here quickly." "Yes. But, the guests of the adults are all like this, the villain..." "Haha. It's really unusual. This is probably the power of the new Yin-style swordsmanship school." "What did your lord say?" "Even you are afraid to come forward. Do you understand why?" Chaya Shiro Jiro took a serious look at Yagyu Somune.That Zong Yan was thin and dry, with no charm at all, sitting there upright, looking a little weird, and didn't pay much attention to the tea house. "The villain understands that with such a distinguished guest here, the villain cannot sit next to the adult." "Oh, you can talk. That's all. Chawu, Zongyan, you are all casual, come and sit." Zong Yan just nodded slightly, but remained motionless.According to Katsushige, he often reprimanded Ieyasu, but that was just his behavior as a teacher.Now he must have realized that as a swordsman, he must keep a distance from the inner palace.From this point of view, Zong Yan did reveal a kind of heaviness like a stone boat. "Hey, Zong Yan, why don't you move? Well, Chaya, you sit at the front." "yes." "I'm afraid you have heard a lot of sensational rumors in the market?" "But then..." "The rumors have never stopped since Taige passed away." "My lord knows." "You can also be said to be well-informed and mature. In your opinion, what is the main reason for the endless rumors?" "The villain thought it was Ishida Osamu..." Ieyasu shook his head violently, and reprimanded him: "You are wrong. The reason lies in Ieyasu. Iayasu should have governed the world well, but he failed to do so. No one can realize the importance of what they have in their hands. I am finally I deeply realize that Ieyasu is really a waste..." "Trash?" Chaya muttered unconsciously.But he immediately realized something was wrong, and hurriedly fell on the ground, "The villain deserves death. The meaning of the adult...the villain doesn't understand at all." Despite what he said, Chaya felt relieved.It seems that Ieyasu has made up his mind. Ieyasu didn't seem to pay attention to the reaction of the tea house, stared at Honda Masanobu, and said with a smile: "One's life is ignorant and unclear, but one should be recognized. What do you think, Sado? Everyone thinks they are living for themselves, but in fact Otherwise, people serve themselves as well as others, which is why the Buddha wants to save all sentient beings.” "Yes, I have also heard people say that the Pure Land Shinzong believes in the original wish of other powers." Sado said. "If one can realize this, one should realize that no matter status, status, wealth, or the world, everything is external to the body, but I haven't fully realized these. Do you understand, Chaya?" "This... the villain seems to understand a little bit." "The property you have accumulated is already incomparably rich, right?" "It's all thanks to your lord." "Look, even if it's just a humble word, it sounds amazing. But you have to understand that wealth is in your hands, but it's not in your hands." "Oh?" "No matter how persistent you are, and no matter whether you agree or not, when you leave this world, you must leave everything outside of you. If you just understand this truth at that time, it may be too late to regret it." "My lord knows." "Therefore, we must be soberly aware that wealth is only deposited in your hands, and it must be used in a proper way to be sincere." "yes." "I also understand the truth that wealth is not owned by one person. But what is the use of wealth? First, it can ensure peace in the world; Bai Ji, even the retainers shouldn't give too much salary... It seems that I have tried my best, but in fact, for a long time, I have regarded the world as my own thing." "The world?" "For this reason, I was reprimanded by Zong Yan." Zong Yan respectfully fell on the ground and replied: "No, I'm just discussing swordsmanship with you." "Hey, swordsmanship? Isn't the ultimate in swordsmanship also connected to the origin of everything in the world?" "Your Excellency, seeing a leaf and knowing the autumn of the world is truly brilliant." Ieyasu nodded slightly and said, "Chaya, I'm going to Osaka." The conversation suddenly changed, and the Chaya was taken aback, only to hear Ieyasu continue: "Come to Osaka, if you're a little later, there will be chaos in the inner courtyard of Osaka... This is what Masuda Changsheng and Nagatsume Masakae told me quietly. But Until today, I have no intention of going to Osaka." The tea house couldn't help becoming nervous: "My lord! In fact, the villain came today and wanted to report this matter to the lord..." Before the words were finished, Ieyasu interrupted him lightly: "You are here to tell me that someone in Daban City is planning to do something wrong, and you want to persuade me not to go, right?" "Yes... no... How can my lord know?" "Of course I know. Hijikata, Ohno and others are enlisting the people around Hideyori, and they want to attack me when I enter the city. The masterminds are Asano and Maeda... You heard that, didn't you?" Chaya Shiro Jiro stretched his neck, and patted his knee vigorously: "Exactly, where did you hear it, my lord?" "I heard it from Masuda and Nagatsu. What about you?" "Masuda, Nagatsu? So, the news from my lord and my lord comes from them. Changshu and others leaked the news to Yodoya, and Yodoya leaked the news to Guangyue, so Guangyue hurried to the humble house." "Oh, Guangyue..." Ieyasu lowered his head and smiled, "How could Maeda Hizenmoru be so rebellious? Someone must be deliberately slandering. That's all you want to say, right?" Chaya panicked. "Exactly... Exactly." He moved forward involuntarily, "My lord just said that Masuda and Changshu hoped that your lord could live in Osaka Castle?" "Yes. After the death of Maeda Da Nayan, the city was full of young people, so the morals were corrupt. If this continues, I don't know what will happen to the inner court. Masuda and Changshu wanted me to come to the city to have a look." "Where will your lord settle down after entering the city?" "Yeah, just because there is no place to settle down, I have been unable to make a decision. Sancheng's residence is definitely not suitable, and there is no other place to stay. If I have to go, I can only live in the residence of Sancheng's brother, the carpenter Zhengcheng. Masatsumi is Sakai Hong Kong implemented it, but he had no choice but to let him move out... I am also very confused because of this, I don't know what to do." Chaya Shirojiro let out a long sigh, looked up at Ieyasu, "Your Excellency, do you really want to live in the carpenter's cramped mansion?" "Yeah, since I have to be responsible to the world, I have no choice." "Then... what does your lord mean, that the rumors about Maeda and Asano are just gone?" Chaya was anxious. "Shiro Jiro," Ieyasu called out in a low voice, "even if they are just rumors fabricated out of thin air, if you ignore them and go your own way, you will be the courage of a reckless man... If you are not more careful, how can you be worthy of the world, and how can you be worthy of myself? Regarding this matter , I have my own measure." After speaking, a relaxed smile appeared on his face. Ieyasu seems to have made up his mind about entering Osaka Castle.Once he enters the city, there will be an uproar.Recently, two factions have emerged in the markets of Beijing and Osaka, one supporting 30% and the other supporting Ieyasu.Those who support 30% of the people, to be precise, should be called the nostalgic faction who miss the Taige's prosperity.Although these people agree with Ieyasu's strength, they oppose Ieyasu: "He has long been waiting for Taiko to die so that he can take the world as his own..." When these ordinary people learned that Ieyasu quickly moved to the island, expelled 30% and entered Fushimi, Now that they had to look forward to Shu and were about to enter Daban City, they couldn't bear it anymore. Ieyasu knew all of this well.Still, he had to move into Osaka Castle.The tea house knows a thing or two about the reason. Rumors about the corruption of the inner court of Osaka City have long been rampant.Some people say that Mrs. Dian, who is in her early thirties, is doting on a certain minister next to her, causing troubles all over the city.In any case, if the rumors are true, once the favored person meddles in government affairs, it will lead to an unmanageable chaos.This is why Masuda Nagamori and Nagatsu Masaka, who persuaded Ieyasu to enter the city, did not seem to be doing anything wrong.However, in this way, the contention and competition of forces will inevitably sweep Mrs. Dian and the public... Compared with Chaya Shiro Jiro, Ieyasu has a much clearer understanding of the status quo. The Chaya bowed his head sincerely, "My lord, I am stupid. I have something to report to my lord today, hoping to help you, but I didn't expect to open my eyes here." Jia Kang said: "There will be many things in the future that require you to negotiate with this master Zong Yan. Zong Yan, you should also get closer to the tea house." After finishing speaking, he pointed his rough finger at his chest and said: "The world is in turmoil. The reason for this all lies with me, and it all lies with me, knowing this, I will no longer hesitate, and I will no longer have any scruples, I will do my best." Chaya couldn't help but cast a strict glance at Yagyu Somune.Zong Yan remained as firm as a stone sculpture, not only his body, but also his eyes and eyebrows remained motionless, like a sitting statue.This person can have such a huge influence on Ieyasu, and his cultivation cannot be underestimated. "Is Sado hungry? I feel hungry too. Serve Zong Yan and the tea house." "Obey!" Sado saluted respectfully and was about to get up.Zong Yan suddenly said, "The seventh day of September is the best." This probably refers to the day when he was stationed in Osaka, Chaya pricked up his ears to hear what else he would say, but Zong Yan fell silent again.
