After the assessment, Soharu Tsugawa returned to Lord Yashiki. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Your Highness, is the assessment over?" As soon as Soji Tsugawa walked into the room, Yukihime greeted him.

"Hmm," replied Soharu Tsugawa with a lack of interest, "it's over." ”

"Your Highness doesn't seem to be very happy, could it be that something happened?" Yukihime asked with concern.

Soji Tsugawa shook his head and said, "I just remembered Shinbei." ”

After hearing this, Yukihime sighed and said, "Your Highness, although Lord Kuroda died in battle, people can't be resurrected after death, so there is no need to grieve too much, Your Highness should cheer up." ”

"You won't understand." Soji Tsugawa said, "When I first took over as the governor of the Tsugawa family, there was only one retainer around me. In the past two years, the relationship between me and Mabei has long been no longer an ordinary master-slave relationship, and it is better to be a brother than a brother. ”

"When I think of the real guards now, I think of me fighting side by side with the real guards."

Soji Tsugawa raised his head, looked at the red in the courtyard, and then said, "Before you know it, it's autumn again." It was also at this time, and the first battle of my life was completed at this time. At that time, I still remember that my father had just finished the autumn harvest, and my father had died, and the food in the collection was insufficient. Mabei and I attacked the lair of a gang of bandits, and then grabbed enough food for the winter. ”

"Then, we recaptured Tsugawa Castle, killed Yoshinobu Yamada, and avenged our father. Then fend off the combined forces of the Yamada family and the Ryohei family at Tsugawa Castle, and then ........"

Yukihime sat quietly beside Soji Tsugawa, grabbed Soji Tsukawa's hand, and listened to Soji Tsugawa tell the story of the past.

After a long time, Soji Tsugawa finally finished speaking, turned his head to look at Xue Ji, and said softly, "Thank you Xue Ji, it's good to have you by your side." ”

"Me too, Your Highness." Listening to the love words in the mouth of Tsugawa Soji, Yukihime also said with emotion, "Last year, the Tanaka family and other wealthy families attacked Dongxiang Castle, and my father died in front of my eyes. I hid behind the gate of the castle tower and watched my father being pierced by the spear of the enemy ashigaru........."

Speaking of this, Yukihime's eyes were already soaked with tears.

"It wasn't until His Highness appeared that I found the warmth of home again." Yukihime raised his head and looked at Soji Tsugawa, "Your Highness, Yukihime has also regained her strength, so Your Highness must have already let go of these concerns." The Tsugawa family still needs Your Highness at the helm. ”

"Don't worry, Yukihime, His Highness isn't that fragile yet." Soji Tsugawa said with a smile, "It's just that I think of Mabei dying in battle like this, and I'm very reluctant." ”

"Your Highness, why don't you build a temple to worship the retainers of your family who died in battle?" At this time, Xue Ji said, "The Bodhi Temple of the family has been in disrepair for a long time, and it can be repaired." ”

"That's a good note." Soji Tsugawa nodded, this is the same as the Monument to the People's Heroes, it is very meaningful.

However, Tsugawa Soji shook his head again and said, "It's okay to repair the Bodhi Temple of my family, but it costs too much to rebuild a temple, and at present, the construction of the territory of my family has already cost a lot of money, but I am afraid that I am powerless." ”

The rise of the Tsugawa family has only been more than 2 years, and the foundation is pitiful. There is only more than 1,000 money left, and before that, I expanded Jinchuan Castle and built a few roads, and I really ran out of money for a while.

"There are also several temples in my family's territory, why don't you choose one temple as a cemetery?" Yukihime suggested.

Soji Tsugawa thought for a moment and said, "It's okay, but where to choose?" ”

"There are very few temples in Xianbei County, and the larger one is a little famous is Dongshan Temple, and the wedding between the concubine and His Royal Highness was also presided over by the senior monks of Dongshan Temple. It's just that Dongshan Temple is where the Bodhi Temple of the main family is located, so I can only choose another place. Yukihime said slowly. Higashiyama-ji Temple is a temple located not far from the east of Tsugawa Castle, which was built by the third governor of the Tsugawa family, Tsukawa Kamisuke Masumune, and has been serving as the Bodhi Temple of the Tsugawa family ever since.

It was only after the Yamada family captured Tsugawa Castle that Higashiyamaji Temple was damaged to a certain extent.

"In addition, only Jinguji Temple outside Uemaeda Castle and Seimeiji Temple in Komatsuyama Castle remain." Yukihime said, "Jinguji Temple and Ximei Temple are both relatively large wealthy families in Senhoku County, Ximei Temple is the Bodhi Temple of the Tozawa family, but the scale of Ximei Temple is not large, so it can also be ruled out, so only the Bodhi Temple and Jinguji Temple of the Maeda family remain." ”

"Now that the Maeda family has been destroyed by the main family, and the Maeda family is no longer the heir, the family can use Jinguji Temple as a cemetery," Yukihime said with a smile.

Soji Tsugawa nodded, and suddenly asked in surprise, "Yukihime, why do you know so much about these matters?" "Tsugawa Soji is very puzzled, why Yukihime knows so much about these things, these things even Tsugawa Soji himself doesn't know.

Xue Ji smiled and said, "The concubine is also a believer in Buddhism, and her father had a serious illness in her early years. The concubine was only 7 years old at the time, and my mother took me to all the temples in Xianbei County to pray for my father's blessing. Sure enough, it didn't take long for my father to recover, and all of this was due to the Buddha. It is the concubine body that knows so much about these temples. ”

Soji Tsugawa listened to the corners of his mouth once, what does this have to do with the Buddha? As a young man in later generations, Tsugawa Soji did not believe in Buddhism. However, people in this era are basically more Buddhists, so it is not easy for Tsugawa Soji to interfere too much in the beliefs of others, which is easy to cause public outrage.

Although he does not believe in Buddhism, he is still interested in temples such as Bodhi Temple and the cemetery. It's kind of similar to days. The family ancestral halls of some families are like this, and the cemetery is also a bit like the Martyrs' Shrine.

Once the Tsugawa family has such a Bodhi temple and cemetery, the cohesion and sense of belonging of the retainers will be even stronger.

"Okay," Tsugawa Soji nodded, "then divide an area at Jinguji Temple as the family's cemetery, and in the future, all retainers who have contributed to the family can be buried here after their death." In addition, I will ask Ogasawara Nobuti to take care of the renovation of the Bodhi Temple Higashiyamaji Temple. ”

"Speaking of which, madam, it seems that the death day of your father, which you mentioned last time, is also approaching, I wonder how the preparations are going?" Soji Tsugawa then asked. Although he is not interested in the Tsugawa clan, the Tsugawa clan is still the father of the Tsukawa clan in name, so the things that should be done by Tsugawa Soji still have to be done.

"It's ready." Xue Ji squinted her eyes and said with a smile, "The time is twenty days later, do you need to invite the retainers to participate then?" ”

Soji Tsugawa shook his head and said, "There's no need for this, when the time comes, call Xiaolan, just the three of us." ”

"It's not true, it should be said that it is 5 people."

Xue Ji said suspiciously, "Where did the five people come from?" ”

"Don't you have it in your stomach," Soharu Tsugawa said with a smile

"Your Highness................... You're making fun of me again. ”

"How can this be a joke? That's the truth..."

"It's just teasing...."

"Good good ............."
