Chapter 272 Waiting for the Great Master

"Why, Huijin Hall wrote a letter and didn't plan to go to Luo to congratulate the young master?" Hideho thought that this letter was a letter from Uesugi Keikatsu to make excuses or apologize for not wanting to go to Raku, but in the face of the silence of Ishida Mitsunari and Tokugawa Ieyasu, he had a sense of foreboding.

"Have you read this letter?" Hideho asked.

Everyone nodded, took out the letter from their arms, and said in a low voice: "Aizu Hall has written a letter to each elder and the commissioner, and the new content is exactly the same, and your estimate is no exception. ”

"Why do you have to do this too much," Hideho was a little confused, he handed the letter to Fujido Takatora who was also attending the meeting, and said, "Since it's not a private letter, read it for me." ”

Fujido Gaohu respectfully took the letter, subconsciously glanced at it, suddenly widened his eyes, surprised inexplicably, and looked at it carefully, his hands trembled, cold sweat flowed, and he said to Xiubao in a trembling voice: "This letter, minister, I really can't read it." ”

"What do you mean by not being able to read, you adults can read it, but you can't read it? Come and listen to what Aizuden wants to say. Xiubao ignored Gao Hu's strange expression behind him and ordered him to read it out loud.

"That minister is rude." After that, Fujitang Gaohu calmed down his emotions and read with a serious expression: "The letter given by the New Moon of Youfu has arrived on the thirteenth of yesterday. I would appreciate reading it in detail.

There seem to be all kinds of rumors about the affairs of the territory, and it is well known that they have become the things in the hearts of adults. The adults sitting in Yingluo still have gossip, let alone a remote country like Jingsheng. In this way, rumors are commonplace. Please don't worry about it.

In the next time, it has been decided to postpone the Beijing, and the reason for this is well known to the right government. I will only return to my home country at the end of September last year, and if I am allowed to go to Beijing in the first month of next year, when will I have time to deal with my country's political affairs? In addition, as compensation for the transfer, Taiko made a promise to 'stay in the country for three years' when he was alive, so please understand this.

Aizu is located in the northeast, and the snow freezes from October to March of the following year after returning to Japan, so it is impossible to deal with state affairs.

The Right Authority demanded that an oath be made to show that there was no dissent. In my opinion, such a thing as an oath is nothing more than a piece of papyrus, which is really useless.

Jing Shenggu has no dissenting intentions, but the right mansion, as a young master, does not correct the behavior of others to slander the subordinates, but does not notice the rumors that others are circulating in the subordinate general rebellion, but repeatedly asks the lower Shangluo to explain in person, such a move is really contrary to the name of the right mansion that has always regarded itself as wise and upright. Is this what the world calls 'inconsistencies' or is it a fear of slandering that the person below is an adult's father-in-law?

Major General Maeda and Prime Minister Bizen's affairs were resolved according to your wishes, and the transgression of the law was heard of even though he was in the northeast.

I heard that Masuda Uemon and Otani were interceding on behalf of him, and I was really grateful. If you still have such questions, please help answer them. Of course, you can consult Ishida Jibu about many matters of the Uesugi clan in Osaka, and if you find that Keikatsu has a rebellious heart, Jibu will explain it to your lords, so this is the proper character of a martial artist, and it is also a good thing for the lord of the Uchifu.

However, it seems that the administration department did not do this, and instead allowed Horija Shomono (Hori Hideji) and Mogami attendants to slander the family, and did not uphold justice for the family at all. I hope that the government will uphold justice and tell the truth about the loyalty of the family.

One of the matters related to the expansion of armaments. It's ridiculous to say that the samurai of Sakuraku are all happy to collect the props used in the tea ceremony, and my country horsemen naturally can't find such elegant things, so they can only collect earthen knives and guns to talk about themselves. There is no doubt that the customs vary greatly from place to place. The right government ordered my generation to seal the weapons warehouse and go to check before the commission, but in the next thought, as a martial artist, why can't he collect weapons as much as he likes like a tea set?

Repair of roads and construction of bridges. This matter is entirely to solve the inconvenience of the people of the country, and it is also the responsibility of the lord of a country. His father, Kenshin Koto, also carried out this kind of work during his time in Echigo, and the road bridge he built can still be used today, which is best known to Hori. Since the Horike moved to Echigo, this type of project must have given it a lot of convenience. Echigo was originally a subordinate skill, and it was very easy to set foot on the territory of the Hori family, so why bother to build roads and bridges. The same is true of the top attendants, who paved the Korean and Japanese military roads below just to facilitate the traffic between the two places, but the attendants obstructed them in every possible way, which was tolerable and unbearable, and the swords and soldiers had to deal with each other.

The Hori Warden and Mogami Attendant were so frightened that they claimed that their family was intent on invading their domain, like idiots who didn't even know how to use a bow or crossbow. If you really want to send troops to Echigo, you only need to build a large road to Echigo, and if you build roads in other directions (which makes it easier for the enemy to besiege your country), isn't it self-defeating?

March next year is the death day of my father's humble faithfulness. When this matter is dealt with, I want to go to Luo in the summer and greet Lord Youfu by the way. Therefore, we are dealing with domestic affairs as soon as possible, such as the purchase of weapons. A few days ago, Captain Masuda Uemon and Shosuke Otani of the Criminal Department sent an envoy to inform them that the words of the court had a bad heart under the news of the stroke, and the phrase "If you have a clear conscience, please be troubled, please go to Luo to discern it" is also said to be the Chrysostom of the Right Prefecture. In the following opinion, it is the best way to widely disclose what the slanderers say and determine whether it is the truth or not. Is there a reason why we are persecuted to defend ourselves because of mere rumors? "If there is no rebellion, please go to Luo", this way of dealing with it is like a baby waiting to be fed, which is extremely naïve and ridiculous.

Those who really have rebellion in their hearts, often pretend to be a peaceful picture of the world, frequently marry, provoke civil strife in his family, and even seize a larger territory.

In short, at a time when the world is spreading that my Uesugi family is plotting rebellion, if I go to Luo in vain, I am afraid that I will lose the reputation of the Uesugi family in the past generations. If the right house can't distinguish the authenticity, it will not go to Luo.

I hope you will consider all of the above remarks. By the way, there is a Fujita Nonoto in the family, who ran from the house in mid-July, first to Echigo, and then from Echigo to Raku. These are all clear below. At this point, whether it is Uesugi Ichichi's rebellious intentions, or the right lord's negligence and favoritism, I believe that the world has its own judgment.

A thousand words are useless, and I only hope that the right government can realize the sincerity and loyalty of the subordinates. As for whether or not to go to Luo, it is entirely up to the choice of your lords. If you continue to stay in Aizu like this, you can't accompany the young master from beginning to end, and assist the young master wholeheartedly, you have already violated the will of Taiko. Jingsheng is responsible for being entrusted with the lonely, and it is even more difficult to escape the notoriety of the lord, which is a great rebellion of the warriors who can not be washed away until the last generation, so please rest assured that the Lord of the Right Mansion has no intention of doing anything in the future. However, he was framed by slanderers and was rated as a martial artist who was immoral and unjust, which is really a crime that he did not dare to bear, so if the adults wanted to crusade in person because Jingsheng did not go to Luo, he could only wait for the big driver.

After hearing the rumors that the family was rebellious, they made all kinds of preparations for foreign expeditions, such as dispatching troops and preparing grain and grass, and these rumors were spread by people who did not know the world, and I thought that only an idiot would believe it, and there was nothing worth defending.

Originally, I wanted to send an envoy to explain the sincerity of my family, but the slanderers of the neighboring countries of Echigo have already spoken many words about my family, and Fujita of my family has already gone to you, and I am afraid that the right government thinks that this family has a conspiratorial rebellion. In this case, if Jingsheng goes forward to explain, he will surely be ridiculed by the world in the following table.

If the above slanders cannot be clearly corrected, and the sincerity of the subordinates is not properly understood, then the family will no longer have any arguments to the Lord of the Right House. Although I have now received the help of the two adults, and I have the opportunity to clarify my heart, I still deeply regret the decision of the Lord of the Right Mansion to believe that his family is rebelling.

Aizu is located in a remote area, and many matters will be gossiped about by people, even if it is a sincere opinion, it will eventually become a lie, which may not need to be explained, and the Lord of the Right House should have his own experience. However, if the adult is really restless about the family's affairs, then Jingsheng will tell you before driving: This world can finally distinguish between right and wrong, if you sincerely and carefully find out, you will naturally get the most authentic answer from the world. In order to make you feel at ease about Aizu's affairs, I wrote in the next letter, thinking about the disrespect of the language, but in order to make the adults really feel the sincerity in the next, so I knew that it was transgression, but I still tried to write it down, if the adults still insisted on leading the daimyo to visit Aizu, Jingsheng had to properly prepare to fulfill the friendship of the landlord.

Entrust the waiter to write and convey, I would like to pay tribute to the Lord of the Inner House.

On November 14 of the fourth year of Keichō, Naoeyama Castle was continued. ”

As Fujido Gaohu's voice landed, the council hall suddenly became silent, and the daimyo present had different expressions, some were surprised and angry, some were sad and worried, and there were also leisurely things that had nothing to do with themselves, and the snickering joy that hung his head and held back, only Xiubao's expression was difficult to describe.

In fact, no expression can express Hidebo's current mood, he never expected that these days' caution is like walking on thin ice, in the end in exchange for such a letter, this letter should have been reserved for the arrogant and authoritarian Tokugawa Ieyasu, "Naoe", will be smashed on himself, is he already considered as a careerist as authoritarian as Tokugawa Ieyasu? Is it only by war that we can maintain the peace of the world?

In fact, there are not a few who are as entangled as him, Maeda, Ukita, and Ishida mentioned in the letter are all embarrassed, and in Naoe's letter, he satirizes the two elders in a few words, as well as Ishida Mitsunari's weakness and betrayal of the Uesugi family. This letter is not so much a pleadings to Hideho as a blatant declaration of war against Hideho. (To be continued.)
