Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the summer of the fourth year of Tensho (1579).

Instead of forcibly ascending to the position of the Great General of Seiyi, Heite Honhide announced three important events after making a preliminary settlement in the Kanto region.

The thirteen-year-old second son, Yakshamaru, was named "Hatakeyama Hidetaka", inherited the name of Muromachi, one of the three leaders of the Miao character, and applied to the imperial court for the official position of "Mamoru Shimoto Ki Mamoru".

The ten-year-old third son, Shuramaru, was given the name "Miyoshi Hidecho", inheriting the Miao character of the overlord of and Shikoku twenty or thirty years ago, and applying to the imperial court for the official position of "Shogo-Goshi Awamori".

The eight-year-old fourth son, Umewakamaru, was given the name "Imagawa Hideji", inherited the Miao character of the predecessor "Tokaido First Bow Tori", and applied to the imperial court for the official position of "Shogo-5 Shimotsugamori".

Then, among the children of middle- and lower-level retainers, seventy-five young talents were selected, and the three were awarded as and strength.

Let these children go to Kii, Awa, and Suruga separately to lead the local old ministers and establish the order of the family.

With these as a foreshadowing, the eldest son of the eldest son, Yoshimitsu Hirade, discussed the northern route to Echigo, helped to discuss the merits of Hojo, and made an exception to carry the position as "the fourth senator".

Iwanari Yutsu and Nakamura Kazushi left the position of "national dynasty", added the title of Zhixing, and were sent to the Kanto region to cooperate with Hiraite Hideyi, who was transferred to Echigo in advance, and Zhang Bang Anmin, issued a ban and supervised the words and deeds of the princes.

To be exact, Xiuyi cooperated with Iwanari and Nakamura.

Because the latter two are the real "Qincha", the former's status is a bit like a "pro-domain daimyo". This is the system envisioned by the tie, a multitude that holds the state and the city but basically deprives the center of the right to speak, and the retainers with foreign surnames are in charge of administrative practices but are not allowed to hold too much personal power.

In June, Shigeharu Takenaka, once known as the "Mino Kirin", fell seriously ill after several months of busyness, and the medicine stone was useless.

Yoshimitsu Hirade, with whom he had a friendship of preaching and resolving doubts, was quite sad and regretted that he had invited the teacher out of the mountain last year.

But Shigeharu Takenaka comforted him and said: "If you don't give up, you can still show something during your lifetime, and after entering Vietnam with the army, you can level the Kanto region, and you will be high-spirited, which is better than ten years away!" Then he confessed a few things about Uesugi, Ashina, Daihoji Temple, and even Mogami and Date.

Hirate honshu also went to visit when he heard the news.

At that time, Takenaka Shigeji stood up suddenly, took out a small stack of letters from under the pillow, and said: "At that time, when the princess left Kyoto without permission, there were twenty-six dignitaries inside and outside, asking the contemptible people whether there was a change in the heavens and other things, and if the inner government wanted to know these twenty-six names, they would all be here today." ”

Hearing this, Yoshimitsu was shocked.

But Fan Xiu only smiled faintly, took the letter, walked a few steps, leisurely threw himself into the lampshade, sat back and watched the candle flame burn the paper into ashes, turned around and stood with his hands in his hands, and said calmly: "Why do you know? Why know? ”

Seeing this, Shigeji Takenaka sighed and sighed: "In the past, I thought I had a deep understanding of people's hearts, saw through the world, and didn't want to draw a higher level of inner government instruments, knowing that people's hearts were not enough to mention in the face of the general trend. Today, even if I am free of illness and disaster, it is still not enough to hunt the world with you. ”

After saying that, he didn't care, closed his eyes and left.

This samurai, who had ups and downs several times in his life, and although he did not make meritorious achievements, he repeatedly affected the overall situation of the world, and passed away.

Seeing this, Takigawa Yiyi smiled bitterly, folded his hands and said, "It's better to go back", and came to the Miaoxin Temple, the main mountain of the Rinzai sect, to shave and become a monk, and the law name was "Daorong", and passed on the family business to his son Yizhong.

Many former Oda ministers of similar status followed suit, either going to Kyoto to become monks, or returning to Omi to live in seclusion, but their heirs, like the Takenaka and Takigawa families, received the favor of the land around Omi and became the direct retainers of Hirate Yoshimitsu.

In fact, there are new faces around Fanxiu.

The Itabe of the Hojo family, Okaye Yukisai, accepted the invitation after praying for the old master for 100 days, and then recommended his friend, the arithmetic wizard An Teng Ryoshi.

The former is cited as proximal, and the latter is included in the pursuit sequence.

Itabe Okae Yukisai is a monk with a personable and extraordinary temperament, and his words and deeds are quite respected. And Anten Ryoshi, this little-known samurai, found that he did have outstanding talents after putting himself into the work.

This made Hirate Honhide suddenly have a plan, and ordered Ina Tadaji to go to Kyoto to focus on the repair of the forbidden palace and the minister's house, as well as the aftermath of the problem of the control of the land of Yamashiro Province; Masuda Nagamori traveled to various parts of the western country and Kanto to conduct land surveys and calculations for the territories directly under him that he had acquired in recent years; Nagatsu Masa's family went to Odawara and Edo, which were already in ruins, and contacted the townspeople to re-establish the order of commerce.

The real estate and commercial tax situation in the region was temporarily taken over by Ishida Mitsunari and Anten Yoshihiro.

This "normal job swap" provoked an extraordinary reaction.

More than 20 imperial merchants, thirty or forty county generations, I don't know why they all became ants on a hot pot, and they were so anxious. Some came to ask for guilt before checking the accounts, some suddenly contracted an illness and were bedridden to apply for retirement, and some privately sought relatives and friends to try to clear up.

Obviously, I didn't say that I wanted to rectify the rule of officials.

Even Tennoji Yazuta Muneji, who has provided 100,000 long-term interest-free loans and sent women to the bed of the inner house lord twice, seems to be worried.

I won't mention coming to Kyoto in person to show my loyalty.

The pair of aunts and nieces from the Tsuda family, it was really hard to work hard in the boudoir, and they were all right, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and they were open, a pair of good.

This is the double ability of the rear, the ability of the tongue can be fully exerted, so that the Lord of the Heishou Neifu completely understands why the ancients would write the sentence "The spring night is bitter and the day is short, and the king will not be early from now on".

Bai Letian, a resident of Xiangshan, is worthy of the name of the king of poetry.

After more than a month, Ishida Mitsunari reported: "I have checked 21 commercial houses, 37 county representatives, and a total of 58 accounts. Three of them have generally no problems, 23 have errors of about 100 percent, 25 have discrepancies ranging from 300 to 2,000, and the remaining seven are too chaotic and have not yet been sorted out. ”

Fan Xiu asked, "What do you think should be done with the change?" ”

Hearing this, Ishida Mitsunari did not have any stage fright, and looked like a newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and said in a firm tone: "Accounts without errors deserve to be commended, but it may also be a subtle forgery." It is normal for people to have a fallacy of 100 times, and more than 500 times indicates that the acting official has dereliction of duty or greed for ink. As for the last seven, they need to be removed from their posts immediately, investigated, or even punished! ”

Pingshou took the report document in the other party's hand noncommittally, glanced at it slightly, pointed to a name and sighed: "This guy's grandfather, who blocked arrows more than thirty years ago, is now going to punish him?" ”

Ishida Mitsunari was slightly stunned, pursed his lips and lowered his head, and said in a muffled voice: "The contemptible person just boldly put forward his own opinion, and the final disposition is of course decided by the inner house, no matter what, it is not for us little people to put their beaks in their mouths." ”

In the words, you can hear a trace of dissatisfaction that has been suppressed as much as possible, but still not completely suppressed.
