Chapter 69: The Gap Between Father and Son

Using the mouth cannon lawsuit between Ishida and Otani to strain the fighting spirit of the samurai and monks, and grasping the point of "not reporting in time" to fight hard, after Hirata Yoshimitsu calmed people's hearts, he put forward two suggestions-

First of all, since all disputes are related to the documents of territorial rights and responsibilities, then the documents must keep pace with the times and continue to be maintained, otherwise the old things of decades ago are now difficult to distinguish between true and false, and the parties cannot be found to explain.

Therefore, the pile of yellowed paper is considered invalid.

Whether it was the lord who had appropriated the interests of the temple or the temple had forged privileges that did not exist, they no longer carefully distinguished, but let Konishi Yukinaga and Shimoma Yorita preside over the revision of the new account book.

The specific trivial bargaining, obviously, will be handed over to Ishida Sakichi and Ohtani Heima.

It also stipulates that, in principle, the account books and documents need to be updated regularly before they can be counted. However, there is no clear plan for the specific update cycle and implementation process.

In this way, the two sides are equivalent to taking a step back, which is still acceptable.

Secondly, considering that there may have been improper operations in the samurai's execution of land inspections, and that the monks were also suspected of adding fuel to the fire when they preached everywhere, and in the end, it was the ignorant people who suffered from the losses, which is obviously a system problem and worth pondering......

Then, in addition to contemplation, as a person in power, Yoshimitsu Hirate decided to reform the system.

He took the example of the success of the appeal of the five sisters of the Nakano family, and promoted it as a positive example, encouraging everyone to come to Kyoto or Kishiwada Castle when they encounter problems in the future, and find the equalizer family to uphold justice.

Finally, in response to specific issues, Yoshimitsu Hirate believes:

The state capital of Kobe Castle was so rude that it caused misunderstanding among the people, and he was "admonished" to meditate at home for three months. This is tantamount to returning power to the legitimate lord with whom he has a better relationship and a more cautious personality, Oda Nobutaka.

Nagashima Yoricheng, as a fang official, reacted too violently to the folk turmoil, and the tranquility in the world was harmful and unhelpful, so he "suggested" to go to Shishan to study Buddhism and cultivate his self-cultivation. In this way, the power of the snake can be weakened, which is conducive to the centralization of power.

This is all a seemingly reasonable arrangement, although the style is rough and hard, and there is a slight suspicion of bullying, but it does greatly strengthen the presence of the Hirate family in this area.

Subsequently, Hirate Honhide and Honganji appeared together to meet with relevant people, or to appease or pressure, expressing the attention of the high-level. Since they had already passed the qi beforehand, they had no objection to Yoshimitsu's behavior.

But......

In private, Yoshimitsu Hirate was half proud and half apprehensive to ask his father for advice, but what he received was an intriguing smile.

"With your age and experience, it's good to be like this."

Fanxiu's words imply the meaning of "not good enough".

Yoshimitsu was slightly disappointed, not too reconciled, and even more curious, and bowed down to ask his father for clarification.

Fan Xiu helped him up, and said slowly: "Things are well done, but there are two points worth mentioning. First, the reason why you took the lead and prevented the change while there were few casualties was purely because of that...... The actions of the Nakano family father and daughter were just accidental actions, not intentional preparations. Second, since we have this experience, we should form a careful plan for dealing with similar things, and this can be regarded as rising from the 'technique' to the level of 'Tao'. ”

The first point is that Yoshimitsu is a little unimpressed, but he doesn't dare to express it. After listening to the second point, he suddenly realized and felt convinced.

Looking up at his father's figure, he was not only slightly depressed.

Wisdom can't be compared, after all, as I said just now, there is a gap between age and experience. But the action of brushing the beard, no matter how you look at it, is not as chic and calm as Dad, this is probably a talent!

It's no wonder that the two women around me are a little staggered, and the father's wife and concubines are still long-sleeved and good at dancing......

Yoshimitsu Hirate stopped his cranky thoughts and sincerely asked for advice.

Fan Xiu said: "First, it is right to seize that both sides did not report this in time. Orders may be issued later, but those who have any disputes and have not lost their ability to act and do not report them in a timely manner shall be punished, whether justified or unreasonable. On the contrary, as long as the report is timely and truthful, even if the guilty are guilty, they can be slightly lenient. Specifically, within a few days, it is considered timely, and this can be sorted out according to the geographical distance. ”

Yoshimitsu hurriedly remembered.

Fan Xiu said: "Appeals should be encouraged. The power of final adjudication of litigation should remain at the center, not bypassed. However, it is not feasible for you to let the people go to Kyoto to petition on their own. Ordinary people don't have that kind of action, and the lords and acting officials in various places will desperately obstruct it, and after a long time, it is not conducive to stability after all. An institution such as an 'inquisitorial office' should be re-established and allowed to make regular rounds of the world to receive legal claims from locals. ”

Yoshimitsu expressed doubts and asked why "going to Beijing to appeal" would be detrimental to stability.

Fan Xiu didn't answer this carefully, but just sighed lightly and said "the lessons of history" and didn't talk about it.

Yoshimitsu had no choice but to put aside his doubts and remember first.

Fan Xiu said again: "In addition, declaring the old documents invalid and starting a new account book is a good way to deal with it. But since this is the beginning, it is better to implement it on a large scale. Yamashiro, Omi, Kawachi, and Yamato have all notified the countrymen and temples that have historical questions about their territories and should submit written documents before the New Year next year, otherwise they will not be accepted in the future. ”

Yoshimitsu means teachable.

After saying this, Fan Xiu suddenly asked: "I heard that there are two Omi samurai Ishida Sakichi and the fang official Otani Heima, who are very active, can they be described as wise?" ”

"Exactly!" Yoshimitsu nodded hurriedly, frowned again and said distressedly: "I have already invited them to serve, but ...... Ishida Sakichi said that he was young and ignorant and hoped to continue to accumulate under the command of Konishi Yukiga, and Otani said that he was deeply favored by the sect and had no shame before repaying the favor. ”

Fan Xiu laughed when she heard this, patted her son on the shoulder and said, "Yingwu's mind is naturally different from ordinary people, and it is not so simple to impress. Not everyone is like Ii Toramatsu and Kato Toranosuke, who are at the right time and are just at your disposal. How to impress these two talented people depends on your wrist. ”

Yoshimitsu was thoughtful.

He noticed that just now his father listed Ii and Kato as people of the same grade as Ishida and Otani. What are the grading criteria? It's worth looking into.

……

After saying goodbye to the father and son, Yoshimitsu Hirate returned to his residence, and Saori leaned against the door to greet him, and the graceful and graceful posture of the virtuous lady was heartbreaking.

Yoshimitsu casually talked to her about today's gains and losses.

Saori rolled her eyes and said, "The concubine is bold, and she has some unrealistic whimsical ideas about what my father said, 'I travel around and accept appeals', and I don't know whether to say it or not. ”

Yoshimitsu waved his hand indifferently: "But it's okay to talk about it." ”

Saori smiled: "Let's just adjust it a little, let's just say that the five sisters of Nakano, it was because they met the people sent out by our Heite family to go out on a parade, that they were able to report the riots." Then take the opportunity to get noticed and appreciated, and become a side room by your side......"

"Wait, wait!" Yoshimitsu hurriedly stopped: "It's okay in front, what the hell is in the back?" I don't have that in mind, I don't even remember what those five girls looked like. ”

In the past ten years of Yoshimitsu Hirade's life, it is rare to see a main room take the initiative to persuade her husband to take a concubine, not to mention that there are five? Subconsciously felt a bit of a conspiracy and wondered if it was tempting.

Saori said eloquently: "Husband, you must know that just a matter of litigation, the people will not care so much, and it will not be widely praised. Only the gossip about the love between men and women is what those peddlers and pawns like to see and talk about! ”

"It does make sense." Yoshimitsu couldn't refute this, but he immediately felt inappropriate: "In this way, doesn't it seem that I am a lustful and lascivious gentleman?" Not right? ”

"How so?" Saori said solemnly: "You admire the character and heart of their five sisters, and think that you can set a good example for the boudoir atmosphere, so you adopted five unattractive folk girls as side rooms!" ”

"Can it still be like this?" Yoshimitsu was surprised: "Is it really not good-looking?" How do I remember, it's all pretty good......"

"Ahem...... I just said I don't remember my appearance......" Saori muttered to herself in a mosquito-like voice.

"What are you talking about?"

"The concubine didn't say anything!" Saori smiled innocently, tilted her head, and raised her hands to her chest: "The concubine has been investigated, that Nakano Marutaro is a rare good person, during the snow disaster that year, he took in five fleeing widows who were displaced, and only then did he have five adopted daughters of the same age." Later, five widows died one after another, and this person never married in order to take care of his adopted daughter, and the father and daughter loved and respected each other......"

"It's such a family? It's really worthy of respect. Yoshimitsu nodded subconsciously.

"Then it's settled!" Saori raised her little fist and cheered, thinking to herself that the old woman of the Oda family who had no brains and married once, isn't she a childhood sweetheart, I see what role you can have in the future.

"This, you can't rely on power to force others!" Yoshimitsu's tone began to be less insistent.

After all, he has a good memory, and he hasn't really forgotten the looks and figure of the five sisters.

"The concubine has already told the father and daughter of Nakano, and they all regard it as a great honor!" Saori replied with an oath.

"Hmm...... All right...... I still have to tell my father and mother ......"

In the end, Yoshimitsu Hirate felt that it was also very good to accept some girls with good conduct and temperament, and it would be good to set a good example for the boudoir atmosphere...... Although there is obviously some conspiracy on the part of the wife, this level is not obnoxious, but rather cute.

This kind of wonderful experience, I'm afraid my dad has never had it!

Is it equivalent to that some aspects of the blue are better than the blue?

Ishiyama Honganji was born.,Nominally the Saori of the adopted daughter of the Gongqing Yamashina family.,Sure enough, it's a virtuous helper in every sense.、
