Sakichi Ishida and Hirama Otani had a heated discussion on the authenticity of more than 200 documents.

The former has a talent for forgetting, and the latter is good at making inferences and adaptations, competing for contacts and being anxious.

It can be said that when you meet your opponent in chess, you will meet a good talent.

The two sometimes quote scriptures, sometimes move flowers and trees, sometimes go straight to the point, sometimes lead the snake out of the hole, sometimes preemptively, sometimes brake with static, and gradually give birth to the meaning of knowing and cherishing each other.

Not to mention, in this era when the level of education for all is still relatively low, there are not so many cultural people who can read documents thoroughly, and most of them are old-fashioned people who are obsessed with poetry and songs, and less than doers who are proficient in official affairs.

In many relatively remote areas, there are almost no government documents, and social order is maintained purely by following conventions and verbal agreements. In many places, although written documents are used, they are issued and signed at great random, and there are many errors, omissions, and contradictions, and after 10 or 8 years, they will not be able to continue, and they have to declare that "all the previous regulations are invalid, and the new instruments shall prevail."

Of course, there are also daimyo such as the Kanto Go-Hojo family, which has strict laws and a self-contained system of civil officials, but they are very few.

Ishida Sakichi began to write documents for the surrounding villages and temples for a fee three years ago, and was dug up by Yukichi Konishi half a year ago, and has always stood out from the crowd. Otani Heima has served for more than four years at Seirenji Temple and Yuanzheng Temple, and is also a widely trusted copywriter and political master, especially good at analyzing land rights and responsibilities and money borrowing.

When I saw each other today, I admired each other.

At first, they competed against each other and did not give an inch.

Half an hour later, the atmosphere became more and more harmonious, and the two gradually let go of the difference in their positions and objectively analyzed the authenticity of the document from the perspective of a third party.

The samurai and the monks all felt that something was wrong and that they had missed the point, but they could only stare at it and could not speak.

Because Sakichi Ishida and Heima Otani read too much, reacted too quickly, and understood too much, ordinary people couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all, and they didn't know how to interject if they wanted to.

In front of Yoshimitsu Ping, there is no way to suppress people with power.

It's so uncomfortable.

The government is full of seeds and the lower room Lai Dan, staring at the big eyes and staring at the small ones, there is nothing to say.

None of them are good at lip service, and they basically can't understand what is being said on the court.

Governor Konishi is also gifted, and he is the son of a merchant, so he can roughly understand it, but his current status belongs to the samurai faction, and it is difficult to express his attitude publicly.

Ii Toramatsu was also completely confused, but he stared intently at Ishida and Otani's movements, listening to every word, trying to learn and imitate, hoping to improve to this level one day

The other young guards didn't realize it.

Sonjiro Toda and Sunroku Kato kept exchanging opinions in a low voice, but they always said, "That's amazing!" "How can he even remember this?" "That sounds reasonable, but something doesn't seem right...... these words, completely treating yourself as an outsider.

I didn't think about going in that direction at all, even one step.

Yoshimitsu Hirate was also not a man of many words, but he listened with interest, not at all words, without seeking to understand much, focusing only on the core of Ishida and Otani's discussion.

In the end, after talking for most of the hour, the two began to get tired, and when the speed of speech was not so fast, Yoshimitsu Herate slapped the table and made a judgment:

"Wonderful! Ishida and Otani are both worldly officials. I've been listening to it for a long time, and the general meaning is already clear. If the 200 documents taken out by the Nagashima Temple are classified one by one, most of them should be true and should take effect. But there are also many that are problematic. Some of them are misunderstandings caused by omissions in details, and some of them are not fully considered when issuing and signing, so that they are out of touch with reality. Is that right? ”

When the words landed, Otani Heima immediately made a sincere convincing, kowtowed, and said: "Lord Zhongwu is really as wise as a torch, and one sentence is better than us repeating a thousand words." But how to deal with it, please think twice! ”

Ishida Sakichi was a little carried away, and he originally shook his head and wanted to say, "It may not be so", but then Konishi Yukicho kicked his ass before he reacted, and quickly bowed his head and said, "There is no objection." Let your adult decide. ”

Obviously, none of you here is qualified to refute the face of the young master of the Heite family, the son-in-law of the Ishiyama Honganji family.

At least on the surface, it can't.

As for whether people will make mistakes in decision-making, causing the following to be disobedient and eventually lead to damage to the statement and a decline in prestige, that is a matter for the future.

Then Yoshimitsu Hirate changed his words, and instead of distinguishing between the right and wrong on both sides, he threw out a new question: "You see, this matter could have been resolved through negotiations, why do you insist on using swords?" Why didn't you report it as soon as it happened? Why wait until I come to the door before I can come back to the table? ”

In the three consecutive questions, the tone, speed and volume of speech, and the expression did not change at all, but the meaning in the words gradually sharpened.

The reason why it was not reported in time was, of course, because the shogunate was in turmoil for a long time, and the shogunate was simply unable to govern the nations, and everyone was accustomed to defending their interests with the sword. Even if you have mastered Kyoto now, it still hasn't become a public ceremony in the hearts of the people of the world!

- You can only think about this in your heart, and it would be terrible to say it.

Neither the samurai nor the monks could answer this sharp question.

In fact, they did ignore the level of interference in the security of.

In the past, Ouchi and Miyoshi also nominally controlled Kyoto, but they didn't have so much spare time to govern the details of each place. Oda Nobunaga had a similar style, but he was assassinated not long after......

The current situation is quite unaccustomed.

After having a deterrent effect, Yoshimitsu Hirate added: "To be honest, now the generations of Takeda, Hojo, Uesugi, and Otomo have vaguely formed an alliance against my family!" Their ambition to refuse to accept the king's wolf ambition is obvious. Guofu Shengzhong Palace, please answer me, at this time, you suddenly proposed to inspect the land, could it be that you were encouraged by someone and deliberately did it! ”

When the government heard this, he was instantly shocked by the rain of sweat, dumbfounded, both afraid and aggrieved, and kowtowed again and again: "I was too stupid and didn't think too much about things, so that I made mistakes, but I definitely didn't have a heart of disobedience!" Be discerning! ”

Heide Yoshimitsu ignored him, turned his head to look at the monk's side, and said, "On the side of Nagashima Prayer Temple, there is also a suspicion of arbitrariness and failure to notify Shishan in time. This is a temple business, and I don't want to ask about it. However, if it is found that someone has accepted bribes from the enemy and deliberately caused trouble...... I'm afraid that the privilege of 'not losing and not entering' should also be properly weighed. ”

Shimoma Lai Dan secretly complained to himself, saying that this uncle was really difficult to deal with, but he showed a confident smile on the outside, and said calmly: "Please rest assured that there is absolutely no such bad behavior in the Nagashima Temple." If there is, don't say it's you, the poor monk can't tolerate it. ”

"That's great." Hirate Yoshimitsu exhaled, followed his father's example, touched his chin without two hairs, and said with a smile: "If there is, change it, and if you don't, you will be encouraged." I won't care about this anymore, please recall each of them, a few days ago, whether they were secretly tempted by others. In any case, after the incident, you have been slow to ...... to my family Sending a document to the shogunate, but intending to solve the problem with a sword, this is the place where deep reflection is most needed. ”

Regarding the words "my family" and "shogunate", Hirate Yoshimitsu didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and he confused it slightly.
