Chapter 397, Let's Go!
In the Hosokawa Mansion, Uesugi Soyuki and Hosokawa Gohei sit opposite each other, while Hosokawa Gohei's son, the potter Hosokawa Gomitsu, also sits on the side, respectfully serving tea and pouring water for his father and distinguished guests.
Uesugi Soyuki carefully told Hosokawa what Yasusu Akimoto said, and the old governor of Tokyo just frowned and motioned for himself to think about it.
In July, in the middle of summer, the temperature is very high, for some reason, Hosokawa Gohei's house did not turn on the air conditioner, fortunately there was a breeze blowing into the house outside the courtyard, Hosokawa Goguang saw that Uesugi Soyuki had sweat on his face, took the initiative to take out the electric fan, and also brought out a bowl of iced sour plum soup, Uesugi Soyuki took it and drank it all, feeling a lot better.
"Rustle~" The wind outside the house blew through the leaves, bringing out a light sound, the atmosphere in the house was quiet, Hosokawa Gohei was bowing his head and pondering, his eldest son Hosokawa Goko confessed, left the room, and after closing the paper door, only Uesugi Soyuki and Hosokawa Gohei were left in the house.
Uesugi Soyuki saw Hosokawa Gohei's thin hand on the table, and knew that the old man was thinking, so he was also silent, listening to the sound of cicadas and the wind in summer.
The atmosphere in the room was maintained in this way, and Uesugi Soyuki only felt that his consciousness was constantly sinking, passing through the space, and his brain was spinning rapidly, thinking about the recent events.
"Yes, it did. Hosokawa Gohei finally spoke, the old man picked up his teacup, took a sip, and sighed: "It's worthy of Abe, what a powerful character!"
"Abe?!" Uesugi Soyuki came back to his senses and looked at Hosokawa Gohei with some puzzlement.
"Yes, the other party can only be the current Prime Minister Abe. Hosokawa Gohei nodded: "According to the old man, this is exactly his style." β
"I want to hear about it. β
"Uesugi, you're not sensitive to politics, so let the old man tell you well!"
"First of all, the starting point of everything is that Shintaro Ishihara suddenly fired at you, right, after our analysis, in fact, he was blowing himself up, and behind this, he was either sacrificing himself for a future for his children, or, there was a big plan behind it. β
"Yes, that's what we learned last time. Uesugi nodded.
"However, we have ignored the matter of Nobuaki Ishihara, who had competed with Abe for the position of leader of the Liberal Democratic Party before, you know this, right?" Hosokawa Gohei looked serious: "In Ishihara Shinaki's announcement of his candidacy for the position of party leader, Shintaro Ishihara contributed a lot, not only did he try his best to persuade the current party leader Yoshiichi Tanigaki to give up his candidacy, but also won the support of the Liberal Democratic Party's veteran former Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori and the young parliamentarians of the stalwart faction, among them, Ishihara Shintaro actually wants to send his son to the position of prime minister!" Shintaro Ishihara is really a good plan!"
"At that time, the incumbent Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda was defeated, and as long as he can be elected as the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party, there is a chance that he will be the next prime minister!" Uesugi Soyuki turned the corner, and the young man's eyes flashed: "But he didn't expect Shinzo Abe to come back!"
"That's right! Ishihara Shinko, who relied on his father's strength, how could he be the opponent of the scheming Shinzo Abe?" Hosokawa Gohei's face was full of disdain, he had always looked down on Ishihara Shinko, who completely relied on his father for his political career: "Then, in the case of complete preparations, according to my thoughts, Ishihara Shinko must have fought with Shinzo Abe head-on, and he must have lost very badly, and it is very likely that Ishihara Shinko used some dishonorable means." β
"But now, Nobuaki Ishihara is going to be the Minister in charge of Economic and Fiscal Policy in the Cabinet, Uesugi, think about it, this is not the treatment of a loser!" Hosokawa Gohei's old face showed a smile: "Think about it again, Shintaro Ishihara suddenly rushed to the incident of self-detonation... You already have the answer in mind, right?"
"I see, Shinaki Ishihara, who was defeated in the election, should have been demoted or even directly demoted or exiled, but now he has been promoted to the cabinet, then, the answer is that there is a deal between Shinzo Abe and Shintaro Ishihara! Shintaro Ishihara used his self-explosion to give up his huge fame and weight in exchange for his son's future future!" Uesugi Soyuki's eyes widened, and then said: "What Abe is afraid of is Shinaki Ishihara's father, Shintaro Ishihara's great fame among the people, and he is still." Abe must have been jealous of Shintaro Ishihara's formidable strength, so the two sides reached this kind of reconciliation!"
"Yes, Shintaro Ishihara chose to agree to Abe's conditions, and he betrayed himself to the Literary Spring and Autumn Society for the second time, and made another favorγγγγγγ Hosokawa Gohei closed his eyes and sighed: "It takes no effort to solve the faction leader of Shintaro Ishihara, this kid Abe is really a good means, and in the next few years, the Liberal Democratic Party is destined to be Abe's world." β
"So, Abe wants to do something to me, right?" said Uesugi Muneyuki frowned.
"It's hard to say... I can only say that it is unlikely, Uesugi, you are from our Chinese nationality, although we are not as good as we were back then, but we still have unparalleled power in the political and business worlds, which family does not have hundreds of years of accumulation? What's more, you still have an American background, and you are not a vegetarian, if my expectations are correct, everything will end here, Shintaro Ishihara will attack you, it's just the instruction of the weekly Wenchun, it's just that you have to be careful, your every move is now seen by many people, don't give people a chance to make trouble!" Hosokawa Gohei ended his analysis.
"I'll be careful! Thank you, Grandpa Hosokawa. Uesugi Muneyuki bowed respectfully, and he had always had twelve points of respect for this old man.
"It's really interesting, Ishihara Nobuaki's political stance is the same as ours, and at this point, we can't attack him yet, and this must be in Abe's calculations. Hosokawa Huxi sent Uesugi Soxue out of the Hosokawa Mansion: "Uesugi, just do a good job in the economy and be an idol, you still don't have to participate in these things, politics, it's too dirty, don't let your red heart be polluted." β
Shintaro Ishihara is a far-righter, but Nobuaki Ishihara is a left-wing moderate, he advocates goodwill with China and the United States, the establishment of a US-Japan trade community, and has visited China many times and has given speeches at Nankai University.
Forget it, let's stop this matter, Uesugi Soyuki shook his head helplessly: It's better to get involved in politics yourself.
After learning the details with Hosokawa Gohei, the question in Uesugi Muneyuki's heart was answered, and he could finally relax and go to his mother's fiftieth birthday.
Mid-July, Haneda Airport, Tokyo.
"A newspaper!" A man in black sunglasses dropped two coins and took a copy of the Asahi Shimbun from his bunk at the newsshop at the airport.
"Thank you for your patronage... Ah, you are... Seventy... The saleswoman saw the visitor and almost called out, but she quickly held back: "Hello!
"Hello. The young man was followed by two bodyguards, who politely declined the saleswoman's request for an autograph, then bought a few bottles of water in the airport supermarket next to him and returned to the departure room.
"Yukichiyo, are you here?" a graceful and luxurious lady was sitting in the waiting hall, pulling a beautiful girl to ask, and when she saw her son appear, the noblewoman greeted him, and her expression was full of pride.
"Mother, I'm sorry to be late, there will be a meeting in the morning. Uesugi Soyuki nodded, and Mrs. Date didn't say anything, just pulled the girl next to her and asked, "Yuka, has Zongxue bullied you recently?"
The eldest lady Sugai Yuka was dressed in a refreshing white shirt and hot pants, revealing a pair of white and tender long legs, and a pair of women's sandals with a little heel on her tender feet, the whole person was full of vitality, her beautiful face was full of smiles, and she was wearing a round hat on her head: "No, Brother Uesugi is very good to me." β
"Mother... Why am I bullying Yuka. Uesugi Soyuki sat helplessly and complained.
"Hmph, who knows?" Mrs. Date pretended to be dissatisfied, and then pulled Sugai Yuka to ask, Uesugi Muneyuki was speechless in the face of her mother's rebuke, so she could only sit aside and read the newspaper.
"What the hell ... Is this news that the villagers drowned in the swamp by the river?" After watching it for a while, Uesugi Soyuki continued to complain, and the eldest lady came over excitedly: "What, I'll take a look!"
"Hehehe. Mrs. Date did not stop this situation, but smiled lovingly, and the lady took out her mobile phone and began to scroll up the INS in a good way.
Under the influence of Uesugi Soyuki, social networks have become popular among the Chinese community nowadays, and most of them have their own accounts on Twitter or INS.
In front of people, Mrs. Date would not call her son's nickname, Xue Chiyo: "Zong Xue, there are many people who want to see you when I go back this time, and your uncle will be there." β
"Uncle, oh! Is it Uncle Taizong?" Uesugi Soyuki raised her head, and saw that the eldest lady was still probing her brain beside her, so she simply handed the newspaper in her hand: "Uncle will come too? I remember that I haven't seen him a few times." β
"Hmph! His sister is celebrating her fiftieth birthday, does he, who is an older brother, dare to come? I won't let him go when I get to Santuchuan. "Mrs. Date is the current head of the Date family, the sister of Date Taimune, Uesugi Soyuki thought that the relationship between her mother and uncle should still be good.
Although Mrs. Date is almost fifty years old, but the perennial pampered life makes her very well maintained, and she looks like a noble lady in her thirties, because she gave birth to two sons in a row after marrying into the Uesugi family, and her personality is docile, and her family is quite good, and her grandmother Kujo Keiko is still quite satisfied with this daughter-in-law, and later because of the sudden rise of Uesugi Soyuki, the mother is expensive by virtue of her son, and Mrs. Date has always lived a more comfortable life, and the only thing she worries about is when her little son will give birth to a little grandson to hug herself.
Amid small talk and reading the newspaper, fifty minutes passed, and it was time to board the plane.
"Let's go, Tomoka, let's go!"
"Hi ~ Brother Uesugi!"
