Chapter 621: Meeting the Messenger
Tokugawa Iemitsu is a very upright person, at least his father Tokugawa Hidetada thinks so, so Tokugawa Hidetada didn't tell this son about some dirty things he did.
Let's not talk about integrity or not, at least Tokugawa Iemitsu is very smart, and he believes in a sentence that Watanabe heard from Ye Xun, there is no love for no reason in this world, and there is no hate for no reason.
Since inquiring about this sentence, Tokugawa Iemitsu began to study Ye Xun, this research does not matter, Tokugawa Iemitsu immediately became a fan of Ye Xun, everything Ye Xun does, he will be talked about, and even spent a high price in the Central Plains to buy a portrait of Ye Xun to hang in his own hall, and look at it for a while, which shows how much he admires Ye Xun.
Tokugawa Iemitsu's approach was not hidden from anyone, and this is not the reason why Tokugawa Hidetada did not tell him about dealing with Ye Xun.
It's just that Tokugawa Iemitsu, as the heir of the Tokugawa family, has some things that must be faced.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were looking at him, Tokugawa Iemitsu showed a gentle smile and said: "Ye Gonggong blames us, naturally we have done something wrong, just change it, father, don't want to fight Ye Gonggong, we can't fight him"
"Ahem..."
Tokugawa Hidetada was so angry that he almost didn't get angry, and said in his heart, are you the son of Ye Xun, or my son? Is there anyone who speaks for someone else like that?
Tokugawa Iemitsu is a filial son, and when he saw his father coughing vigorously, he hurriedly got up and walked over quickly, gently stroking his father's back with his hand.
"Father, I know you blame me for speaking for Grandpa Ye, but don't you think what I said is the truth? With the strong national strength of the Ming Dynasty and the eloquence of Gonggong Ye, if we come hard, I am afraid that in the end it will be the end of the family."
Not to mention, these words of Tokugawa Iemitsu immediately resonated with Watanabe, Tsukamoto and others.
Daming has a few Japanese in Liaodong, and Daming is not only one Liaodong, compared with the behemoth of Daming, Japan is simply a mantis arm as a car, not to mention that there is such a demon as Ye Xun.
If Ye Xun knew Tokugawa Iemitsu's thoughts, he would definitely pat him on the shoulder and tell him, the child is good, just mess with me in the future! As for the rest of your fellow citizens, let them fend for themselves!
Under a violent cough, Tokugawa Hidetada's old face was suffocated, and it took a while to catch his breath and say, "In your opinion, what should we do next?" ”
Tokugawa Iemitsu smiled slightly and said: "I have an idea in my son's heart for a long time, and I just said it today, and I hope that my father will fulfill it, that is, my son wants to go and meet Ye Gonggong."
"Ahem..."
Tokugawa Hidetada, who had just calmed his breath, began to cough violently again after hearing his son's last words.
Watanabe glanced at Tsukamoto and Muto and nodded quietly, obviously agreeing with Tokugawa Iemitsu's idea.
Tsukamoto and Muto also understood, yes! If ordinary people go, Ye Xun will definitely not see him, but what if the heir of the Tokugawa family goes?
Silently, several people have reached a tacit understanding.
After all, Tokugawa Hidetada is a generation of heroes, although he is reluctant to let his son go to Ye Xun in person, but he knows that if he can't calm Ye Xun's thunderous anger, Ono's today is his tomorrow.
After the meeting, Tokugawa Hidetaka ordered Muto to gather men and prepare to cross the sea to defeat Ono, and at the same time ordered Watanabe to accompany his son to the Central Plains to meet Ye Xun again.
According to Tokugawa Hidetada's idea, I have given up my son, and you Ye Xun should also be angry, right?
Not to mention whether Tokugawa Hidetashi can see Ye Xun or not, the backyard of Tokugawa Hidetada's house has long been remembered by the people of Xichang.
The royal families of the Celestial Empire have a saying that "the way to abolish the long and establish the young, and to take trouble".
This sentence has always been on the lips of successive emperors, but there are very few that can really be implemented.
Tokugawa Hidetada didn't pay much attention to it, and even Tokugawa Tadanaga, who was the son of the Tokugawa family, didn't seem to take it too seriously.
Tokugawa Tadanaga had a lot of fun every day, bullying men and women in the city by virtue of his identity, and never paying the bill for what to eat and drink.
Tokugawa Hidetada also had a headache for this, and he wiped his ass for him, but unfortunately this son just can't support the wall in the mud, and no matter how he disciplines him, it's useless.
In the end, Tokugawa Hidetada also gave up, and he tossed as much as he loved! I don't think I have this son.
In fact, everyone has a dream in their heart, but they don't have a chance to realize it.
Tokugawa Tadanaga was not like this at first, and it was only when he suddenly realized that in the eyes of his father, no matter what he did, he was inferior to his brother, and his father's eyes on him were always a kind of disgust or even disgust, and he began to give up on himself.
It wasn't until recently that he befriended a samurai named Heio that the small flame hidden deep in Tokugawa Tadanaga's heart burned again.
When Tokugawa Hidetada convened the meeting, Tokugawa Tadanaga was also sitting with a few of his best fox friends and dogs, such as Heinan, eating and drinking.
The reason why these people are willing to surround Tokugawa Tadanaga is naturally because of his unique identity, to put it bluntly, this is also a group of depressed people.
And these people are the most discussed on weekdays, of course, they still want to help Tokugawa Tadashi become the head of the Tokugawa family, because only in this way can they, the most unpopular garbage, have the possibility of ascending to the throne.
Before looking for these people, Heio had made several suggestions to Tokugawa Tadacho, one was to change his previous expression as much as possible, and strive to change Tokugawa Tadanaga's impression in his father's heart.
But this proposal was directly rejected by Tokugawa Tadacho, this kind of thing he has not done before, but it has no effect at all, and his father's eyes still don't look at him.
Since this proposal did not work, Heio put forward a second suggestion, which was to launch a mutiny, force Tokugawa Hidetada to step down by force, and imprison Tokugawa Iemitsu.
This suggestion was eventually rejected by Tokugawa Tadanaga, because he had little influence in the army, and I am afraid that no one would mess with him at all.
was killed two proposals in succession, but Heio was not discouraged at all, and then put forward a third suggestion, kill Tokugawa Iemitsu, secretly imprison his father Tokugawa Hidetada, and force his father to hand over the position of the general of Seiyi.
Listening to the third piece of advice, Tokugawa Tadanaga couldn't help but be moved, because deep down in his heart, he had always felt that his younger brother had taken away his father's love for him, so he had always hated this brother in his heart.
Once you have made a plan, you have to start preparing, but this kind of thing can't be done by two people, but there are too many people to fear leaking the news.
So Heio once again gave Tokugawa Tadanaga an an idea to let these people create trouble in the city, and then Heio and Tokugawa Tadanaga took a few cronies and did it themselves.
In this way, even if the army reacts afterwards, the overall situation has already settled.
After drinking from the sea, these arrogant Japanese samurai were already the second and third of the world, and then under the instigation of Pingnan's prompts, they scolded and walked into the streets, and gathered some drunkards who were similar to them, and rushed to Tokugawa Iemitsu's mansion...
