Chapter Fifty-Eight: Fang Ye's Scheming
Matsugami Yoshiyuki has been torn up lately, and he has always struggled to make a choice between directly executing Matsugami Yoshimitsu and letting Matsugami Yoshimitsu go after a severe punishment. This is also one of the important reasons why Matsugami Yoshiyuki has not received Matsugami Yoshimitsu.
In fact, before Matsugami Yoshimitsu entered Matsugami Castle, Matsugami Yoshiyuki had been worried about whether Matsugami Yoshimitsu would rebel, and he did not think about executing Matsugami Yoshimitsu. But after Matsugami Yoshimitsu entered Matsugami Castle, Matsugami Yoshiyuki had more ideas while reassuring himself. Wouldn't it be better if Matsugami was executed directly? In the final analysis, Matsugami Yoshimitsu is too young and too capable. This has to make Matsugami Yoshiyuki, who has entered his twilight years, suspicious. However, if Matsugami Yoshiyuki did so, he would have to face the dissatisfaction of his retainers and the possible rebellion of Matsumoto Castle, after all, Matsugami Yoshimitsu has no counterjudgment at the moment. (During Japan's Sengoku period, the samurai authority was pyramidal, and the retainers of the retainers did not have to be loyal to the lord of the retainers.) In addition, unless the head of the family is very strong himself, they cannot kill the retainers at will. The relationship between a retainer and a head of the family is one of cooperation between the retainer and the subordinate. Similar to the relationship between vassals and vassals in the Middle Ages in Western Europe. This puts Matsugami in a dilemma.
"Hey~~~, it's a pity that the main hall is now dying. If it is twenty years later, why should this temple be so difficult today? How could the main hall not accommodate a Matsugami Yoshimitsu? Matsugami Yoshiyuki, who was in his own residence, thought of his current dilemma, and couldn't help but sigh that time was passing.
"Your Highness Yoshiyuki, Lady Yoshino has sent her personal maid to invite you to her residence." At this time, Matsugami Yoshiyuki's little surname Nagaroumaru reported outside the door.
Yoshino? Speaking of which, the main hall has snubbed her in recent days because of Matsugami Yoshimitsu's affairs. Let's go to her place today, otherwise she will have trouble with the main hall again. After making up his mind in his heart, Matsugami Yoshiyuki said to Nagaroumaru, who had been waiting outside the door for orders. "Choromaru, you go and inform Lady Yoshino's maid, and say that the main hall will gather at Lady Yoshino's residence tonight. Get Lady Yoshino ready. ”
"Yes, Your Highness Yoshimitsu." With that, Choroumaru went to inform Madame Yoshino's maid. ......
That night, after Matsugami Yoshiyuki had finished handling government affairs, he went to Mrs. Yoshino's residence, accompanied by his surname Nagamaru.
At this time, the maid sent by Mrs. Yoshino to wait outside the door saw the figure of Matsugami Yoshiyuki from a distance, and she hurriedly ran in happily to report to Mrs. Yoshino. "Madam, Madam, His Highness Yixing has come down."
Mrs. Yoshino, who had been waiting for Matsugami's Yoshikami for a long time, was overjoyed, and she said happily to the maid. "Well, Mrs. Ben knows. You go down first, and Mrs. Ming will reward you again. ”
"Thank you, ma'am." The maid thanked Madame Yoshino and left.
After the maid left, Mrs. Yoshino hurriedly restrained the smile on her face, pretending to be sad, and was whispered to the door.
After another moment, Matsugami Yoshiyuki came to Lady Yoshino's residence, and he left Nagaroumaru outside the house and walked into Lady Yoshino's residence alone.
Tonight, Mrs. Yoshino was dressed in a moon-white red chrysanthemum-patterned kimono, and her long hair shawl was only held by a red ribbon at the bottom of her hair, which was very beautiful and moving. Matsugami Yoshiyuki and Mrs. Yoshino hadn't seen her for a few days, and now he was also very excited, he hurriedly walked to Mrs. Yoshino's side and stroked Mrs. Yoshino's shoulder, wanting to see her beautiful face.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Yoshino, who has always been very gentle, was uncharacteristically unusual, always turning her back to Matsugami Yoshiyuki and sobbing from time to time. After going back and forth like this, Matsugami couldn't help but become a little impatient. He asked, with a hint of annoyance and confusion. "Didn't you send a maid to invite the main hall to come? Why is this hall here, but you are so cold. If so, the main hall will go back first. ”
Matsugami Yoshiyuki waited for a long time, but Mrs. Yoshino was still just crying.
Just when Matsugami Yoshiyuki was angry in his heart and was about to leave, Mrs. Yoshino said slowly. "Yoshino didn't know what mistake he had made, and the Yixing Hall didn't come to Yoshino for a few days. I finally came here today, and I was invited by Fangye. ......" said Mrs. Yoshino and sobbed again.
Matsugami Yoshiyuki then understood why Mrs. Yoshino's attitude was so abnormal today. However, it was a happy thing for the concubines to compete for their favor, and Mrs. Yoshino was already deeply favored by herself, so the annoyance in Matsugami Yoshiyuki's heart gradually disappeared at this time. He patiently explained to Mrs. Yoshino. "The reason why this temple has not come to you recently is not because of anything else, but because this hall has a difficult matter to choose recently, and there are many troubles. The main hall has been dealing with government affairs alone for the past few days. ”
Mrs. Fangye was pretending to be sad, but at this time, when she saw Matsugami Yoshiyuki explaining that she knew that it was too much, she half-pushed and half-said. "That's why I'm wrong to blame His Highness Yoshino, and I ask His Highness Yoshino, don't blame Yoshino."
As he spoke, Mrs. Yoshino leaned into Matsugami Yoshiyuki's arms. How could such a beauty still have the meaning of blame in his heart at this time, he hurriedly hugged Mrs. Fangye's delicate body and said. "No blame, no blame. The main hall blames no one, and no one is willing to blame Yoshino, you. ”
Mrs. Yoshino said with a smile when she heard this. "Then Fang Ye will thank His Highness Yixing."
Mrs. Yoshino's already beautiful face added a bit of color to her smile, and Matsugami Yoshiyuki was suddenly fascinated. Just as Matsugami Yoshi's lustful heart was gradually rising and preparing to go further, Mrs. Yoshino grabbed his hand and said angrily. Fang Ye was very curious, what was it that made His Highness Yoshiyo so embarrassed. It's better to talk to Fangye, maybe Fangye can solve problems for His Royal Highness. ”
"There's no need for this, the main hall ......" Matsugami Yoshiyuki was in the mood to say something else at this time, and he wanted to refuse, but he saw that Mrs. Yoshino was looking straight at him, so he had to change his words. Well, well, I'll tell you. ”
Lady Yoshino smiled and straightened up, sat down with Matsugami Yoshiyuki, and waited for him to continue.
"Hey~~~." Matsugami Yoshiyuki sighed and said again. "Matsumoto Castle Lord Matsugami Yoshimitsu is presumably Yoshino, you have also heard of it, and the main hall is now also worried about how to deal with Matsugami Yoshimitsu. That's why he was detained in Matsugami Castle and refused to be seen. ”
Mrs. Yoshino saw that Matsugami Yoshiyuki had not yet decided what to do with Matsugami Yoshimitsu, and asked deliberately with secret joy in her heart. "Then why didn't you see Matsugami Yoshimitsu to watch his deeds, so wouldn't it be easy to make a decision?"
The speaker has a heart, and the listener has a heart, and Matsugami Yoshiyuki secretly said that he was confused after listening to Mrs. Yoshino's words. Isn't it possible to discern Matsugami Yoshimitsu's mind in this way? Why didn't you think of it? But how could Yoshino be so concerned about the affairs of the main hall today? Matsugami Yoshiyuki is not very human, and at this time, he also guessed the purpose of Mrs. Yoshino's deliberate question, I am afraid that it is just to give Matsugami Yoshimitsu a chance to see him.
After figuring out the reason, Matsugami Yoshiyuki asked directly. "Yoshino, you are so concerned about Matsugami Yoshimitsu's affairs, I'm afraid someone has asked for you again." In fact, whether it is Matsugami Yoshimitsu or other things before, Mrs. Yoshino has never concealed Matsugami Yoshiyuki, which is also Mrs. Yoshino's intelligence. That's why Matsugami Yoshiyuki said the word "again".
Sure enough, Mrs. Yoshino said directly after seeing Matsugami Yoshiyuki's awareness. "His Royal Highness Yoshiyuki is wise, it is Matsugami Yoshimitsu's family old Saigo Kanjiu who asked for it in front of Yoshino. Fang Ye thought that this matter would not be harmful to His Royal Highness Yoshiyuki, so he responded. ”
Matsugami Yoshiyuki didn't intend to blame Mrs. Yoshino, he asked it just to show that he wasn't confused. However, at this time, when I heard Mrs. Fangye mention the name of Saigo Kanjiu, she secretly moved her mind. He hugged Mrs. Yoshino again and said. "Since Yoshino intercedes, then the main hall will see Matsugami Yoshimitsu, but the main hall must meet Saigo Kanjiu before meeting him. Tomorrow Fangye, you go and arrange it, the main hall is also a little curious about this Saigo Guanjiu. ”
"Yes, Your Highness." Mrs. Yoshino said with a smile. ......
