One of the important reasons for the Honnoji incident in history, when Oda Nobunaga was killed by Akechi Mitsuhide, was that the lord violated the inherent power of his courtiers. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Oda Nobunaga was too rebellious, and his rule over his retainers was closer to the wrist of the Central Plains Emperor, and he could deprive the old courtiers of the territory at will, or he could humiliate the retainers infinitely because of trivial matters, and even had a heart of arrogance towards the court.

All in all, this is a careerist who does not follow the routine and always wants to destroy the tradition, and in the end, of course, he will be counterattacked by the old school, even if he is not in Honnoji, he will launch a mutiny somewhere else.

Xiao Lotian is very familiar with this history, but he did not expect that Ito Hirobumi would use such a set of theories to refute himself today.

"Prime Minister, if Mrs. Tiger orders her subordinates to cut themselves, I am willing to commit suicide by shaving my belly on the spring mountain on a moonlit night...... But I can't be put to death without knowing it, because there is no such thing as mortality!"

"May I ask the Prime Minister, have you ordered that the Tiger Lady and the Young Master be deprived of their ability to participate in politics? Have you declared to the people that the Young Lord and the young master and the woman are forbidden to participate in politics? If not, then what right do you have to prevent the Lady and the Young Master from accepting the retainers?"

"I also want to ask the prime minister, you know how sad it is for a monarch who does not have his own direct courtiers, just like the Tongzhi Emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom, it is precisely because he does not have any direct forces in Beijing that he was forced to leave the Beijing division to establish his own vassals and armies on the periphery......"

"Could it be that the prime minister hopes that the young master will become a poor person like Emperor Tongzhi in the future? Don't say anything if you are loyal to you, you will definitely be loyal to the young master, you don't believe in this kind of deceptive nonsense, so you don't need to use it to coax people!"

Hirofumi Ito wiped his nosebleed, "I don't understand, you neither announced the deprivation of the political power of the lady and the young master, nor did you equip the lady and the young master with a system of officials directly under you...... Then why don't you allow the lady and the young master to recruit their own troops?"

"It's just your desire to be in control, you just want to be in control......"

"Shut up......" Xiao Letian was really angry this time, he rounded his arm and slapped it with a leaky slap, and hit Ito Hirofumi to the ground with a snap.

"Sure enough, you're good at sophistry! You've played on me with your concept of stealing? When did you dare to use your Japanese retainer system on me? Lao Tzu is the prime minister of the Chinese nationality, not the prime minister of your Fuso......

Xiao Letian is right, my son and I have to follow the Chinese code, and it is not a bullshit Japanese retainer system at all, so it is not wrong for Lao Tzu to kill you.

Ito Hirobumi knew that life and death were on the line, and he also let it go: "That's right! The prime minister follows the Chinese code, but don't forget that the honorific title of Mrs. Tiger was given by the Japanese imperial family!"

"Twenty thousand Fuso warriors are gathered under the banner of Lady Tiger, and we are Lady Tiger's direct courtiers, is there anything wrong with this?"

"You ......" Xiao Letian was speechless, he was defeated by Ito Hirobumi's powerful logic, it seems that it is impossible to use law and reason to defeat this young man, this is a little fox, and he does things without leakage.

Ito Hirofumi will not let go of this chance to live, he looked at Xiao Lotian with the most sincere eyes, "Prime Minister, I know that I can't hide all my thoughts from you......! I took refuge in my wife and the young master, and I also had the idea of getting promoted and getting rich, but what's wrong with that? That person doesn't want to be promoted and get rich?"

"Take refuge under your command?hehe, with all due respect, you have a lot of talent at your disposal, I can't survive without twenty years of hard work, can't I find a shortcut? This is also my power......"

"What's more, Madame Tiger is also difficult! When there was no young master, she was just your second lady, and she didn't pose any threat to everyone, but now it's different, she gave birth to a young master, and her identity is sensitive enough to affect the balance of the situation in Asia......"

"To put it mildly, what does the eldest lady Fu Hui think of this matter? How does the Manchu Qing behind the eldest lady view the young master? The important ministers under your command are loyal to you, but can you guarantee that they will also be loyal to the young master?"

"These are unavoidable problems, and if you want to solve them, you can only let the lady and the young master have their own direct forces, which is the only way to protect yourself in politics, but why do you want to abolish your martial arts?"

"Prime Minister, please don't doubt my loyalty, my admiration for Chinese culture is even more real! I admit that I hope that more Japanese samurai will be integrated into the Chinese nation, but what's wrong with this? Isn't it a choice that all ethnic groups should have when they integrate into an advanced and advanced culture?"

"I hope to do a great job in the Chinese community, I hope that the Chinese people can flourish, because you single-handedly created this Chinese people who do not rely on blood and race, but only rely on language and culture, it is you who give us hope, we are just chasing this hope, and looking for the shortcut we think we think!"

"What's wrong with this? What's wrong with this?" Ito Hirofumi looked at Xiao Lotian excitedly, "Prime Minister! The Chinese people you created have already lived, and they already have their own thoughts, their own desires, and their own code of conduct......

"A lot of things are not something you can push away if you want to, don't you often say, as long as the number of people exceeds three, there must be left, center and right, the same is true of the Chinese As more and more people integrate in, there will always be various factional forces, this is the choice of human nature, how can you disobey?"

"Under your banner, there will always be countless small military flags, and not everyone is so lucky to be able to gather under your banner...... There are many, many people who are destined to choose other flags around you because they can't get close to you, this is the choice of history, this is the choice of the people!"

"Please respect our choice!"

Ito Hirobumi knelt on the ground, everything he wanted to say had been said cleanly, he made a very correct choice, Ito Hirobumi was worthy of a masterpiece, he knew that there was no good fruit to eat if he played with the prime minister.

Since you don't have to play tricks, then be honest and show your desires completely, and I will tell you Xiao Letian clearly, I am too slow to be promoted with you, and there are too many ministers around you, I can't squeeze in.

So I took refuge in your son, because your son was just born, and you forgot to equip him with a team of direct courtiers, so I can enter the core decision-making level.

I'll just take a shortcut, what's wrong?

Not only am I gone, but I have also taken a shortcut with countless Fuso samurai, what's wrong?

I don't hide my thirst for power, I want to have a chance to throw my head and spill my blood, what's wrong?

You Xiao Letian didn't give us a chance to sell our lives, I let Mrs. Tiger and the young master give it, what's wrong?

Yang Mou is like this, in front of you, so that you have nothing to say, what is wrong with me being a villain? But my villain is open, I cut my heart open for you to see, let you know that I just want this, you give me, I will repay you all your loyalty, even life.

The Fuso samurai are a sad class, they never envy the good fortune of the mainland people, they just envy the mainland people for such an opportunity to fight for good fortune.

We are willing to die on the battlefield, for the Tiger Lady and the Young Lord, in exchange for a little merit with our blood, what's the matter?

Xiao Lotian took a deep breath of cold air, suppressed the irritability in his heart, he once again looked at this powerful young man, and secretly said in his heart, "Worthy ......of a masterpiece!
