Kobayakawa Takashi seems to be a polite and cautious person. From the hanging crown on the head to the cloth shoes under the feet, everything was neat and orderly, spotless, and there was no sign of a long journey for several days.

His complexion is very white, his figure is slightly thin, his facial features are ordinary but very neat, he doesn't seem to have experienced too much physical work, and he can't see the scars left by swords and feathers, but he has a pampered image.

All in all, it is not like a daimyo of a farmhouse crawling out of the poor mountains and bad waters of the western country, and a country samurai, but similar to the old nobles of the high gate who were nurtured by the wind, flowers, snow, moon, song and dance of Kyoto during the Heian period.

But there is no sense of estrangement that is vain and impetuous, and does not eat the fireworks of the world.

To be precise, it should be described as a conscientious official who lives in an environment of drunken dreams and death, but is not stained by mud, full of worries about the country and the people, and pragmatic and truth-seeking.

Among the video games of later generations, Kobayakawa Takakei was often highly regarded in terms of diplomacy and naval forces. In fact, from the perspective of the water army, his contribution is more to promote Naomi Munekatsu, and to win over Murakami Takeshi, and the case of himself fighting in person is secondary.

However, the diplomatic journey has indeed been fruitful and widely recognized.

This is probably inseparable from his appearance and temperament, a person who looks good will naturally have an advantage in negotiation work.

But...... That's just the icing on the cake.

No matter how loud the mouth is, it is meaningless in the face of the disparity in strength.

How can what you can't get on the battlefield get at the negotiating table?

Hirata stroked his beard and stared at each other for a long time, not saying anything, maintaining a proud look, and there was no trace of hospitality in his eyes.

Obviously, although he agreed to the request for an audience, he could not give in easily.

The visitor was unimpressed, and calmly and slowly gave the salute.

"Saemon Sasa Kobayakawa Takake, see Tie Dainaya here."

Hearing this, Hiratum did not say polite words such as "no need to be polite" or "look up for a long time" as usual, but frowned and asked with an unkind face: "Saemonza?" Forgive me for my ignorance of not remembering when Your Excellency attained this title? ”

Kobayakawa Takakei was slightly surprised, but immediately smiled calmly and responded softly: "The contemptible was in the third year of Motokame, and thanks to the grace of Lord Gongkata, he was allowed to use the title of 'Saemonsa'. ”

Allowing the use of titles, and formally conferring official positions, are not the same thing.

Normally, everyone gives face to each other and will not be overly calculated.

But if you have to care, like today......

"Such an indiscriminate reward for non-compliance is the reason why the imperial court titles are increasingly losing their value." Pingshou Fanxiu closed his eyes and shook his head with a sad face, and said, "In the future, we must make appropriate restraints on this." ”

"What the Great Nayan says is very true!" Kobayakawa Takakei did not waver in any way, bowed down and said: "Listen to your words today, I know the mistakes of the contemptible people in the past. In the future, the title 'Saemonzo' will not be used again. ”

"That's good, it's teachable." Hijo pretended to be satisfied, and said, "How nice it would be if everyone in the Western Maori family was like you, and they would correct their mistakes!" ”

"You're right!" Kobayakawa Takakei's head didn't seem to be ready to be raised, lying on the ground motionless, and echoed: "After the contemptible people go back, they must pass on the meaning of the Great Nayan well, so that all the relatives and retainers up and down the Maori family will reflect carefully." ”

"That's right!" Pingshou Fan Xiu was arrogant, arrogant, and played an official tone: "Lord Gongfang, he is an old man, maybe he has hysteria (mental illness) for some reason, and his mind is not so sober and understandable, so he actually left the world alone, ran out of Kyoto to make trouble, and constantly said vulgar words against me...... In fact, I've never cared about honor or disgrace. But in the world, thousands of people, their eyes are bright! As the pillars of the Western Kingdom, the Maori family not only failed to help the public to correct their mistakes at this time, but instead encouraged unhealthy tendencies, which is really disappointing! ”

"Yes! The Maori family will never follow the princess in the future! Kobayakawa Takakei maintained a kneeling posture and replied in a deep voice: "It would be great if he was willing to reflect on himself, restrain himself, and take the initiative to return to Kyoto to fulfill the obligations of the controversial general." If we are really obsessed and insist on going our own way, we Maori can only draw a line and take a stand. ”

"And ......" Hirata Honhide still refused to let go of his tone, still showing no mercy: "Tosa's Nagasa's family, their heirs came to Road by boat, and were attacked and killed by Nojima pirates, this incident is also very angry!" ”

"Ashamed, ashamed!" Kobayakawa Takakei kowtowed: "The contemptible people will definitely make a solemn request to the Murakami family, and tell them to show the sincerity of apology, and be sure to satisfy the Nagamune family!" ”

"What does the Changzong family mean...... Originally, he must have taken Murakami's life and then fastened! Pingshou Fan Xiu deliberately scared the other party, and suddenly slowed down again: "However, after all, Miyauchi Shaosuke is a person who understands righteousness, and recently wrote to me, saying that he understands the truth that the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and he will no longer be overly extravagant!" ”

Kobayakawa Takakei's "Saemonsa" is a title allowed by Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and the "Miyauchi Shaosuke" of Nagamune's head family is purely abused privately, and they are not official titles, and it is said that the former is more reliable, but Hitetsu Hohide only admits the latter, which is really a bully and a double standard.

"Then I really want to thank Changzong for the magnanimity of my palace!" Kobayakawa Takakei's words were only joy, and he couldn't hear the slightest sense of grievance and resentment: "In this case, the Maori family should show sincerity even more!" The contemptible will then go to Tosa to apologize in person! ”

Seeing that the other party's posture has been so low, the tie show can't go on.

It stands to reason that at this point in time, even if the Maori family is forced to accept the surrender, it should be very reluctant, and the attitude should be tougher, so as not to look so frightened.

The dismount that I originally wanted to give was like a punch into the cotton.

So I didn't have the heart to talk anymore and started talking about the core topic.

After a moment, Tieshou said again: "About last month, or last month, we had contact. At that time, it seemed to be said that the Maori family would be allowed to retain the territory of the five countries. ”

"This is the mercy of the Great Confession." Kobayakawa Takakei finally raised his head slowly, revealing a calm and calm face, "The Maori family admires this. However, I guess that today's conditions will be different. ”

"I'm not being harsh." Pingshou Fan Xiu said flatly: "However, the lord of your family, Maori is the right horse, he refuses to accept the peace conditions, he has to continue to fight, and he is willing to reflect after receiving more lessons." If you are too lenient with him, it may make it difficult for others to convince me that I am acting unfairly. Is that right? ”

"Makes perfect sense." Kobayakawa Takakei's expression remained unchanged: "The contemptible people came today, just to honestly obey the arrangement of the Great Nayan, and they didn't dare to have the slightest bargaining mentality." ”

"Really?" Hirashou raised his eyebrows, pretended to be in a tone, and sneered: "So, no matter what decision I make, will the Maori family accept it?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the air seemed to freeze suddenly, and the atmosphere became tense.

Kobayakawa Takakei glanced up, bowed down again, and finally said the negative words for the first time today: "The contemptible person is mentally prepared and will accept it no matter what." But whether the right horse head will accept it, to be honest, I don't know. ”

The smile on Hite's face suddenly disappeared.

Just now I was obedient and respectful for a long time, and now I suddenly said, "I don't know very well"?

So what are you here for?

It's insincere!

If you are not sincere, just let Anguo Temple Huiqiong spend it here?

What is the difference between you and him?

With a long breath, Pingshou Fan Xiu threw the folding fan in his hand to the ground with an expressionless face, leaned back tactically, and said: "In the past, I only heard that in the Maori family, the one with the highest courage was Yoshikawa Motoharu, but now it seems that he is not as good as you." Dare to go to the front of the army to entertain me, this courage is rare. ”

"You're mistaken." Kobayakawa Takakei still didn't mean to be nervous at all: "Please let the contemptible person explain carefully." Fang Cai's sentence was just to tell the truth to Lord Da Nayan. Although the right head of the contemptible lord sent me here to negotiate peace, he commanded that 'an armistice must be reached,' but at the same time demanded that 'the land should not be divided too much.' These two conditions are really difficult to fully meet, so the contemptible can only say that it is doubtful whether he will accept it. ”

"It turns out that you received an unrealistic order." The flat hand showed a sarcastic expression: "So what's the point of you coming here to negotiate?" Why don't you go back and keep fighting! ”

"The meaning is that the responsibility for never letting the peace break falls on the right horse head (Maori Huiyuan)." Kobayakawa Takakei finally got a little excited: "To be honest, the reason why the Maori family sued for peace was because of the pressure of the retainers in Nagato, Zhoufang, Iwami and other places. Their territory has been destroyed, and we are required to find a way to solve the problem, and if we ignore it, we will lose the hearts and minds of the people, and the foundation of the Mao family will no longer exist. However, the lord was not willing to accept too harsh subjugation conditions because of this. ”

"So what?" Tieshou didn't understand for a while.

"So, here comes the contemptible! Although we were determined to reach an agreement, we were prepared to fail. Kobayakawa Takakei's face began to show a solemn look: "If the peace negotiation is not successful, the contemptible person can only solve the problem by death." I don't boast of it, but the contemptible people are quite popular in the western country, and if they kill themselves to protest against the harsh conditions, one life is enough to give an explanation to their retainers, so that they can temporarily endure the poisoning of their territory and persist in the war. ”

The flat hand was slightly stunned, and then suddenly laughed.

With such a gesture, I don't know if it's a compliment, it's a bit funny.

He pointed out unceremoniously: "Kobayakawa Palace, how is your behavior like this different from a mantis arm as a car?" Do you think it's appropriate to shout at the driver as a threat that 'if you don't stop, I'm going to stain the wheels with blood so you never wash them'? ”

Kobayakawa Takakei lowered his eyes and said, "Since you were born as a praying mantis, that's all there is to it." Since the contemptible lord still has the heart of luck, what else can I do but hope that the driver will raise his noble hand to avoid the trouble of blood? ”

"Interesting." Heishou nodded and said, "I won't stop for fear of getting bloody, but I don't think this smart mantis needs to die for stupid reasons." In this way, hand over Iwami, which has a silver mountain, and Nagato, Zhoufang, Anyi, and Bigo Shikoku can be safely blocked. In that case, you shouldn't have to die. ”
