014 Father and son
014
Someone asked me yesterday, since Keiji Maeda is under the protagonist's door, not Akechi Mitsuhide, why does he call the protagonist the young master instead of the lord?
Actually, I don't know much about this, but in the Middle Ages in Japan, the lord was called "den", and the lord was called "main hall". But there is really no official title for the abdicated lord.
After Maori Teruyuan ascended the throne, the retainers called Maori Yuan "His Royal Highness Zhibu (Shaofu)", but Maori Teruyuan was called "Young Lord". In the same way, Hojo Shiyasu, the father and son of the clan were all called "regents" after their respective sons, and their sons were only called "young masters". The most well-known thing is that Oda Nobunaga ceased to be the governor of the Oda family in 1576, but the title of "lord" accompanied him all his life, and poor Oda Nobutada, all his life, was just a "young master".
Without further ado, let's get to the point.
After the three of them retired, it was almost time for dinner, and our father and son came to the main castle tower for dinner.
Mother and Fifteen were already waiting there.
It is rare for a family to get together for a meal like this, and my father is so busy with government affairs that he always asks someone to bring the food to his study.
I couldn't eat the food for a while, not because my tongue had deteriorated, but because I was thinking about my own thoughts now, and I didn't know what it tasted like.
"Kogoro!" Father suddenly shouted.
"Father, what do you command?" I quickly put down the bowl in my hand.
"What are you thinking?"
"It's just a little thing." I honestly admitted that I was absent-minded, but I didn't tell him what I really thought.
The father put the bowl on the table and said sharply, "A little thing? Get on your knees first! Do you think you can hide something from me? ”
I didn't say anything, and knelt in the corner. Growing up, this is not the first time I have been punished by him for kneeling.
"Master......" Mother was about to speak, but she couldn't stop her father.
"Madam, don't speak for him, just eat first."
My mother looked at my father and then at me, so I had to keep my mouth shut, and as for Fifteen Lang on the side, he was not qualified to speak.
The atmosphere at the dinner table became more uncomfortable and uncomfortable.
I knelt in the corner, my head hanging down, making a "deep mourning" look, but my heart was rushing like the sea.
There must be a reason for my father to do this, if he just concealed it, there would be no need to make such a big fuss.
After about ten minutes, my father and the others had almost finished eating, so they called someone to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, ignoring the fact that I was still hungry.
"Kogoro, come here first!"
"Yes!" I came to my father.
"I know what's going on in your heart," my father looked at me with blazing eyes, "You're thinking about how to calculate that new wise Chang'an, right?" ”
"Father is really a genius." In the end, he is the first wise general of the Oda family, and my father's words broke my mind.
"Master," my mother saw that we were going to discuss a big matter, and immediately got up and said goodbye, "I will take Fifteen Lang to retreat first." ”
"No," the father shook his head, "you can stay and listen too, especially Fifteen!" He looked at Fifteen Lang with a very solemn expression: "My brother and I are here to discuss the problem, and you give me a good listen here!" I'll ask you later! ”
"Yes! Father. Fifteen Lang became extremely nervous.
The father turned around: "Do you have a prejudice against that Chang'an?" ”
"Yes."
"Tell me about it."
"In my humble opinion, that guy is clearly a villain...... "This time, I didn't hide my contempt and spurning for that "Okubo Chang'an" in my heart, and at first I only criticized him, and later even began to use vicious abuse.
"Enough!" My father really didn't want to hear me scolding the street, "After all that, do you have any evidence?" ”、
"Uh...... No! "I couldn't tell him that that's what the history books say!
"Kogoro!" Afraid that my father would blame me, my mother hurriedly came out to accuse me of Meng Lang: "Without evidence, how can you insult Lord Chang'an so much?" ”
I lowered my head and didn't speak, and I regretted it a little in my heart.
"Hahaha......" To my surprise, my father did not scold me, but laughed out loud.
We all looked at him with puzzled expressions. What is he going to do?
"Kogoro," his father turned his seriousness just now and replaced it with a smiling face: "You look at people's skills, I have always admired them." ”
"Don't dare to be."
"The previous Keer was hidden, I haven't noticed it, but you found out, his gun book is really good, and he can become a tiger general in the future, and that Maeda Keiji, although his temper is a little weird, but his ability is genuine, I am very satisfied, as for this Chang'an, when you called me over, I was still a little skeptical, how can an ape musician understand finance? After I considered him, I realized that he was indeed capable. ”
"He's more than capable of it." I'm a little bitter in my heart, I brought people in, what else can I say?
"When I appointed him as the chief commissioner, I noticed that there was something wrong with your expression, and there was no joy at all," the father continued, "and when I accepted him as a member of my family, you became more and more gloomy, what is the matter?" Didn't you recommend people? ”
"I just want to find a capable person for my family, and I don't plan to give him too high a position, who knows that as soon as you make a move, father, you will be a high-ranking official." I smiled bitterly, and then added: "Actually, before, I was not very confident about his character. ”
"Well, what would you do if you were me?"
"First, don't let him be idle, give him this little thing to do at any time, and second, don't give him too much power, just like the 'Da Sima' in the Han book, there are many things to do, but the power is not big, and the emperor will replace it if he wants to. Third, divide his relationship with other retainers, especially with the generals in the family, I can't let them get involved with this person under any circumstances! "It suddenly occurred to me that the historical Toyotomi Hideyoshi deliberately treated Ishida Mitsunari like this?" In the end, when there is nothing to do with him, I will find him a good place to rest! "I put the word rest very seriously, and my whole body exuded a chill and murderous aura.
"You think very well, but it's not too realistic," my father was very dissatisfied with my idea, but he was not angry, "he wants the horse to run, and does not let the horse graze, according to you, in two or three days, he will not be able to bear it, and will run on his own." ”
"What do you think, father?" I asked my father, "Is it possible to give him a high-ranking official and be able to serve his family to the death?" ”
"So, you think I'm confused?" My father didn't get angry, he just smiled and looked at me playfully.
"Of course not, I just think that Father you are too good to him, so it is easy for him to breed ambition!"
The more I talked, the more excited I became, and there was already fear in the eyes of Fifteen Lang on the side, he was very in awe of his father, and he was very afraid that his father would be angry after hearing this.
"Actually, you have also seen," the father was still not angry, "I also know this fortunate doctor, and I already knew his moral character ten years ago, when he told me that if he gave him 100,000 troops, he could take the world away overnight!" ”
"It's really arrogant, who does he think he is! Conquer the world overnight? Even the god of war, Kenshin Uesugi can't do it! I smiled dismissively.
"At that time, whenever there was a big name in Shangluo, he had to go to see him, hoping to get the opportunity to become a leader, but unfortunately no big name was willing to use it, either because of his low status, or because he was disdainful of his 'guiding the country', but he still enjoyed it...... From then on, I knew that this guy was a greedy man, and he only had fame and fortune in his eyes! When I saw him just now, I couldn't imagine that after so many years, he hadn't changed at all! ”
"So you've ...... long ago," I was amazed; So why ......"
"First," he said, following my tone, "he is indeed talented, and there is a shortage of experts in internal affairs in his family." Second, it can balance the power of the retainers in the family, there have long been factional battles in the family, whether it is Saito or Hosokawa, they have long been in their own line, and now that an ape musician has been added, the situation will definitely become more interesting," Speaking of this, his eyes narrowed, not knowing what he was paying attention to, "The third point is also for you, son!" As he spoke, he put one hand on my shoulder.
"Me?" Everyone looked at me in amazement.
"You just said that you want to let him rest in the future, I think it's very good, this kind of villain should end up like this," the father's eyes were full of hope: "And punishing a high-ranking and powerful minister who is a large number of important ministers will have a great deterrent effect on other retainers, who in the family will dare to disobey you?!" ”
"Father, you ......" I noticed that there was something else in his words.
The glint in his father's eyes slowly receded, and he became a little old, "Wise Shinmitsu-sama! ”
My father never officially called me by my name, and there was a big question mark in everyone's hearts, what was he going to do?
"The little ones are here!" I had to get up as well, with my head on the ground, waiting for his orders.
"How are you and Brother Ling Guigeng?"
"The youngest one is five years old, and the younger brother is eight years old!"
"What about Lingzun Wise Ten Soldiers Guard Guangxiu Guigeng?"
"My father is eight out of forty...... Father! "I suddenly noticed two lines of tears streaming down my father's face.
"Sir!" "Father!" Mother and Fifteen Lang noticed their father's gaffe and both screamed in surprise.
"I'm almost fifty years old, in this troubled world, it is a great gift to live to be fifty years old, I am worried all the time, I will suddenly be gone one day!" The father wiped away his tears, "It doesn't matter if I'm dead, I just can't rest assured of you, Kogoro, your mother is weak, you and your brother are too young, I'm really worried about my father, once my father is gone, how will the important ministers in the family treat you orphans and widows, and the lord Nobunaga above may not know when to turn his face, and even Sakamoto Castle, a place where he can live, will be taken away!" ”
"I know ......" Somehow, I suddenly remembered Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and finally understood how this heroic man felt before he died, and my heart was full of sadness.
"Therefore, I am usually very harsh on your brothers, but I also want you to grow up as soon as possible and experience the hardships of the world! Can you know? ”
"Erchen completely understands!" My voice was full of firmness, "Erchen will spend his life guarding the wise family and everyone in the family!" ”
"Good, good!" The father's face was full of relief, "You finally understand, and I am relieved!" ”
At this time, I was full of pride, and my blood was boiling, probably because of the fighting spirit inspired by that great responsibility, "If there is any major event in the future, although my father will let my sons participate in it, my sons will fight hard!" ”
"Okay," the father finally regained his original look, "next month, follow me to Luo!" ”
"Shangluo?" I wondered, "Father, didn't you just come back from Kyoto?" ”
"The lord is about to abdicate!" Father Zhengse said: "He is going to Kyoto to hold a ceremony, and the young lord of Xinzhong will also participate in it!" ”
Oda Nobunaga...... Going to abdicate? I have a question mark in my heart, now is the time when his "world martial arts" is in full swing, what is he going to do when he steps back at this time?
(Ask for recommendation, ask for collection, don't be polite, even if you smash it all, I'm not afraid of pain)
