Chapter Twenty-Six: The Three Good Ways of Regaining Freedom

In the early morning of summer, at the beginning of the hour, before the sun rises, the sky is already white. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoAlong the inland sea, there is no wind in all directions, and the air is full of irritating humidity and muggy. In the middle of the wilderness far away from human beings, or the traces of some birds and beasts, they are all glimpses and disappear immediately.

Now is the quietest time period for human society under agricultural civilization. Ordinary people have already fallen asleep, and it will take at least an hour or two to wake up, and those who are responsible for the night will also suffer the most exhausting and difficult points, and it is not easy to support them, let alone make any movement.

Therefore, the tents of more than 15,000 men, which were stretched into a grand one, were silent like a rock falling to the ground.

But standing in this world, Sanhao Changyi felt extremely comfortable and very energetic.

He even had a little impulse in his heart, and he wanted to immediately step on the war horse, pull the reins, gallop around the camp three times, and then look up to the sky and let out a few long howls, completely discharging the remaining depression in his chest.

It was the first time he had regained his freedom after months under house arrest.

Last year, as a member of the trio and the actual ruler of the Miyoshi family, he didn't see the situation clearly for a while, and he was in a hurry, and fell into the treacherous trick of the tie and the show, which damaged most of the power of his cronies, and because he was a little overbearing in the past, he offended too many colleagues, and the grudge broke out in one fell swoop. The wealthy families of Awa and Sanuki elected Shinohara Nagafang to be in charge, and suddenly made a difficult move at the meeting to force Miyoshi Nagayoshi to leave home and live in seclusion, but in essence, he was imprisoned.

At first, of course, he was resentful, dazed, and even frightened, but after collecting his mind, he still solved the problem as usual with outstanding strategy.

First, he negotiated with Shinohara's Nagabo and obtained the right to meet with a few people on a regular basis, and then persuaded the Miyoshi family to arrange a complicated plan.

In the end, it became such a situation: if there was no Miyoshi Changyi himself to control the scene, those people would really think that they were going to unite with outsiders to kill the "internal enemy".

Of course, Shinohara Nagabo will be unhappy with such a development, and whether it succeeds or not, the comparison with Miyoshi and one door seems to become a reality.

But he had no choice. Miyoshi Changyi looks like a madman, gambling the lives of the whole family, for this kind of person, you don't know if what he says is true or not, sometimes you can only give in.

And so the situation became what it is now.

Miyoshi Nagayi was respectfully released, and only his own appearance could convince those people to turn "colluding with foreign aid to draw and crusade against the internal enemy Shinohara" into "cooperating with his colleague Shinohara and deceitfully surrendering to deal with the draw".

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile.

Shinohara's Nagafang, the cautious guy who doesn't bend, must not have imagined that all this is just a way to get out!

It would be nice if you could take the opportunity to wipe out the army of the drawer, but even if you can't, it doesn't matter, and that's not the main goal anyway.

If you win, you will take this opportunity to regain the hearts and powers of the people, and if you fail, you will have already prepared follow-up measures.

Even further, it would be better if both Shinohara Nagafang and Tie Tosho were defeated, and he would come out again to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

However, to achieve such a result, it is too difficult to deliberately pursue.

In retrospect, it was indeed a mistake to offend so many people who had offended Awa and Sanuki before. But it is precisely this attitude that makes everyone feel that Miyoshi Changyi is indeed an undoubted loyal minister, but he is impatient and has conflicts with his colleagues.

This is in stark contrast to Hidehide Masunaga, who wants to be kind to people but is considered a conspirator who is a party and a conspirator.

It can be said that the willows are unintentionally inserted.

Of course, Miyoshi Changyi does not feel disloyal. It's just that the understanding of loyalty is different.

Seeing that the three good lords' family is about to die, do they have to act against the sky to be considered the way of a minister?

"I, Changyi, am also the chief of the public, and I am also the uncle of Changqing Gong, and I also have such a prominent official position as 'Descending Hyuga Shou from the Fourth'. If I gain power and achieve hegemony, won't I also carry forward the name of the three good families? ”

Although he had never said such a thing, he had thought about it countless times in his heart.

As for the immediate obstacles, it is indeed difficult, but you have to have faith. No matter how difficult it is, can it compare to the Kamakura Gong (Minamoto Yoritomo) who died back then?

Just take it one step at a time, and there's always a chance.

But before we do that, take a moment to enjoy the free time you've been missing for a long time.

Miyoshi Changyi stood lazily on the ground, closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Then slowly open his eyes.

Nothing has changed. But everything has changed.

If you put your heart into it, you can see a different view.

The sky, the earth, flowers and trees, insects, ants, birds and beasts, mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, wind and clouds, rain and dew...... After the days of losing freedom, I realized that the ordinary and quiet daily life is so wonderful.

Miyoshi Nagayi suddenly remembered that he had learned the tea ceremony in Kaimachi many years ago.

Mr. Takeno's so-called "tea Zen taste" and "wabi-sabi" way can now finally be experienced.

Unfortunately, although the tea ceremony is good, it is not the destination of those who have aspirations.

With a look of regret, Miyoshi Changyi slowly took a step.

……

"Father...... Father?! ”

"Hinata...... Mamoru Hinata?! ”

"My lord? …… Lord! ”

Three different titles, naturally, also come from three different people.

But whether it is Miyoshi Changhu, Miyoshi Yasunaga, or Banto Nobuhide, they are all frozen in place, showing a look of surprise, surprise, and doubt.

The essential reason why these people gathered together and dedescended to foreign enemies to overthrow Shinohara Nagabo was that everyone believed that Shinohara's Nagabo would usurp the family business, and then the members of the Miyoshi family would have no place to stand.

The most important evidence for this conclusion is that, on the one hand, the two nominal lords of the country, Miyoshi Changzhi and Shihe Depository, were "protected" at various levels, and on the other hand, Miyoshi Changyi, the pen head of a public sect, was detained and could be killed at any time.

Even, the matter of colluding with outsiders was originally planned by Miyoshi Changyi himself. He used various covert means to convey his intentions.

Now seeing that the big thing can be accomplished, the two armies are about to fight, but they see the person in front of him in a good manner, without the slightest trace of imprisonment or punishment, and the person who brought him over is still a cronie of Shinohara Nagabo!

Then this situation has to make people think deeply......

"All kinds of reasons, it is too long to explain, so let's save this effort for the time being. In short, even if we want to get rid of Shinohara, we must not profit outsiders. In the end, Miyoshi Changyi only used a simple sentence to describe his intention here.

Indeed, as he said, the cause and effect do not have to be clear, and the most important thing is to distinguish what to do at the moment. According to his original idea, as long as he appeared, he could make these people present obey the order.

But the situation is a bit unexpected.

Whether it is his distant cousin Yasunaga Miyoshi, or the old minister Nobuhide Banto, or even his son Miyoshi Changhu, after hearing this, they can't help but show doubt and hesitation.

His prestige has now fallen too much, and he can't command a sect and the "Kinai faction" with just one sentence.

At the beginning, these people were indeed as dazed as headless flies, until Miyoshi Changyi in the fetters proposed a plan to unite foreign enemies and crusade against internal thieves, and then they got together and found their purpose in life again.

However, people will always unconsciously add a rational explanation for what they have done. After several months of activity, the executors of the route have unwittingly become champions. Now, even if the original planner himself comes out to oppose it, it will be difficult to reverse everyone's emotions.

“…… Mamoru Hinata ...... Did you make peace with Shinohara-ukyo? Yasunaga Miyoshi asked tentatively. Apparently he was unwilling to follow instructions unconditionally.

Miyoshi Changyi frowned helplessly.

The situation is more troublesome than expected, and it is impossible to explicitly say, "I will treat all of you as pawns, including my own son." ”

So he followed the other party's words, nodded and replied: "Shinohara, Youkyo Shin and I don't have a deep hatred for the time being, and the tie that is going to come on the other side is the enemy of life and death." Therefore, I have gone through a lot of trouble with him, let's put justice first, and let each one step forbearance! ”

This statement is barely satisfactory.

Yasunaga Miyoshi then asked, "As Hinata Mamoru said, then what is your next arrangement......"

"It's okay to make it difficult for Shinohara-youkyo to enter in the details, but the big festival must be kept." Miyoshi Nagayi said slowly and logically with deep meaning, "The first enemy is the Tie Army. ”

When he spoke, he emphasized the word "primary", which meant that taking advantage of the situation to weaken the power of Shinohara's cronies was also a secondary goal.

Immediately afterwards, Miyoshi Changhu (the son of Miyoshi Changyi) couldn't help but speak: "Father! The original plan was to have Yushiro as an emissary and inform the Tieshou army that they should cooperate with the outside, so now it will be changed to-"

"No changes are required." Miyoshi Changyi interrupted his son's speech coldly, "Don't reveal any news to Yushiro, let him act according to the predetermined plan, so as not to reveal flaws." Although it can be dangerous, it is also a helpless move. ”

"But—" He is my own son, your own grandson!

Miyoshi Changhu didn't say anything in the end, just closed his eyes in pain and shook his head. Father and son are connected, and he understands that his father has always regarded the power position of the family as more important than any other family member. And in his heart, Miyoshi Changhu actually does not object to this view.

After being silent for a while, Miyoshi Changyi suddenly asked again: "I heard...... The one who led the vanguard of the Tie Shoe Army was my old friend, Iwashi Youtong? ”

"Yes, my lord! This matter has been confirmed, and Iwanari's main tax was surrendered to Oda because his family was captured, but for some reason he was not taken seriously, and only served under Hirate Tsunohide. "It was Changyi's old minister Banto Nobuhide, who was the only one present who was not related by blood, but when it came to loyalty, he was probably the strongest.

"Is the family small...... "Miyoshi Changyi shook his head meaningfully, "It may be true that he was forced to surrender for the sake of his family." But just because of this, he is willing to be the vanguard general of the other party...... There must be some unknown deal among them. ”
