039 Maintaining the Old Order (II)
039
Probably because I was able to vent my feelings on the piano, my body and emotions have improved a lot in the past few days.
I suddenly thought of those tyrants in history.
Nero knew how to sing and dance, King Su was good at making music, Derick was good at painting, and Li Siyuan was obsessed with pear orchards...... By the way, and my father-in-law, Oda Nobunaga!
Although those people are tyrannical and cruel masters, deep down in their cold and dark hearts, they all have an obsession with art.
I would venture to speculate that these guys who kill people are actually not emotionless, they not only have feelings, on the contrary, they have much more feelings than normal people.
However, due to various reasons, their normal feelings cannot be brought into play in the normal world.
As a result, they have to vent their emotions that have been "hoarded" in their bodies through other channels!
So killing, this bloody but exciting act, was naturally taken by them.
But just killing people doesn't mean much, and this group of people quickly gets tired of it.
At this time, the art, known as the "temple of the soul", soon gave this group of people comfort.
As a result, there are more "tyrant artists" in history......
Since then, I've had several more "concerts".
During this period, I played "To Alice", "Canon", and "Hero" successively...... Originally, I wanted to try Chopin's "Nocturne", but because "Nocturne" had too many pitch changes, the difficulty was too high, and I had not studied it proficiently in my previous life, so I was not familiar with it, so the final attempt ended in failure.
But there is one thing that pleases me.
People around me told me that the "concert" in the past few days has greatly changed everyone's impression of me.
Why?
People in this era generally believe in the seemingly reasonable but absurd truth of "talent and virtue are together".
Through the intoxicating melody pouring out of the piano, it is generally accepted that I am a very talented and cultivated person.
And if I am talented, then I must also have "virtue".
Because it is impossible for a person without virtue to have such a "profound" musical attainment, well, it must be!
So under this seemingly completely unreasonable conclusion, my reputation changed dramatically.
But there was one thing I didn't expect.
Although the piano was brought to Japan by the Nanban people very early, there were not many people in Japan who understood it, except for the Nanban people (who were basically missionaries and merchants who were generally not very interested in music) and a very small number of "Kishidan" who had a close relationship with the church and were obsessed with Nanban culture!
So, I was able to master the piano proficiently.
It immediately became a "rarity"!
Plus I am the son of Akechi Mitsuhide, the son-in-law of Oda Nobunaga.
The "effect" is immediately more appealing!
So, all of a sudden, my attention suddenly increased.
According to the people around me, not only Tamba Province, but also the entire San'in Dao, and even Kansai and almost all know my name!
In other words, all of a sudden, in a special way, I became a "celebrity"! ……
Originally, I didn't care about any of this, and I even felt a little fluttery.
Until one day, my father's order came, asking me to go back to the base camp!
Well, my good days are over......
"You're still willing to come!"
Not in the shogunate, but in the tent of rest.
My "cheap father", His Royal Highness Akechi Mitsuhide, received me "lovingly" in this way.
"You called me, how dare I not come......"
For some reason, as soon as I saw him, I felt the familiar "burden a thousand times" again.
My father didn't pay attention to my "Yali Mountain", but asked in a concerned tone:
"I heard Mi Pingji say, you are not in good health during this time...... How's it going? ”
Listening to his words, my heart warmed, and the red scarf on my chest became more vivid...... Phew, what nonsense am I talking about!
"Thank you father for your concern, I'm all right!"
"Tomorrow Hatano will send someone to negotiate peace with the family, and since you are in good health, let's participate together!"
"Yes......"
Out of the camp, I was still wondering in my heart, in history, Wise Mitsuhide fought Tanba for four years...... How can it be so easy in reality? It took less than half a year......
Perhaps history has changed a long time ago......
Or maybe it...... History is what it is, but it has been artificially changed......
In the shogunate, Niwa Nagahide, his father, and Nobuyi Ikeda sit from left to right.
I couldn't help but complain in my heart.
"Are you the Sanqing in the Taoist temple?"
"Meet His Highness Akechi, His Highness Niwa, and His Highness Ikeda!"
Hatano Hidesho faced the three "big shots" sitting on the main seat, leaned down and bowed.
I was watching from the side.
Hatano Hidesho is not outstanding, but he is not ugly either, and he belongs to the kind of "public face" that he forgets before and after.
"Who's coming?"
"Returning to the three of you, I will protect Hatano Hideji's brother for Tamba - Hatano Hideji is also." Hatano Hidesho is also a military general who fights on the battlefield, and he has a bit of murderous aura that belongs to a soldier.
Although his words sounded humble, there was no sense of "bowing his head".
"His Royal Highness? What is the matter with me in the tent? ”
"My brother admires the mighty ...... the three highnesses"
He first "praised" the three people above in a long speech, and then defended his brother, the so-called justification is nothing more than how difficult his brother is, how the people of Tamba are not easy to manage, and his brother actually wants to throw himself into the "warm embrace" of Oda Nobunaga, but he has been obstructed by the people of the country, and he can't do it. Now that the "Wang Shi" is here, the brothers hope to get a chance to "mend their ways".
"It turns out that His Highness Hatano has such a hard time, which is really sympathetic......
Listening to his ridiculous defense of his brother, Motosuke Ikeda, who was sitting at Nobuki Ikeda's hand, couldn't help but say sarcastically.
"Thank you for the care of His Royal Highness Second Lieutenant Ikeda (Motosuke Ikeda), it is nothing for us to suffer this kind of grievance, as long as we can get your understanding, in that case, even if the Hatano clan is destroyed, we will not complain!"
What does it mean to be a diplomat? It's called a diplomat!
"You ......"
Faced with Hidesho Hatano's "shameless face", Motosuke Ikeda choked at once.
"Okay!"
In the end, knowing the son is not as good as the father, how can his son be the opponent of "old fritters" like Hatano Hidesao?
Nobuyi Ikeda hurriedly took over the conversation, and he couldn't let Hidesho Hatano confuse his son.
"In that case, let's stop beating around the bush and let's get down to business."
"Everything is at the discretion of the three Highnesses."
Hidesho Hatano nodded.
"But before that, we want to hear your opinion first, His Highness Xiushang!"
"Then forgive the disrespect......
First of all, although my brother's position of Tamba guardian was personally appointed by His Royal Highness Da Nayan back then, ......"
Hidesho Hatano made a distressed look.
"My brother has not been able to properly manage Tanbo, and he really has disappointed the expectations of His Royal Highness Da Nayan, so my brother decided to give up the post of guardian and ask His Royal Highness Da Nayan to choose the minister of the pillars again!"
"Cut!"
I snorted disdainfully in my heart, this level of "borrowing flowers to offer Buddha" is too obvious, and there is no sincerity at all.
I look at the other people, and they have the same expressions as me.
"What else?"
The three of them were quite indifferent, and then asked.
"After returning to His Royal Highness Da Nayan, we hope to keep the territory at about 100,000 stones, and we will naturally pay the field tax to His Royal Highness Da Nayan, but I hope that the share will be subject to Hosokawa that year."
This is already very excessive, Tanba only has a total of 350,000 stones, keep you 100,000 stones, maybe you will "fly" one day! And in Hosokawa? It's absolutely impossible!
"What else?"
The three of them still haven't changed.
"We are all people who advocate the old rites, and when I was in Hosokawa, I used to implement the 'ten-year land inspection', and my brother hopes to restore this article."
"I can't see that His Highness Hatano has such a high regard for the old system, which really touches us."
My father was "deeply grateful" and said.
"His Royal Highness Xie Zhizhi praises him very much, my brother has made these small requests, and I hope the three of you will agree."
"Now that the world is declining, people's hearts are not ancient, but His Royal Highness Hatano is bent on restoring the old rites, which really makes me and other good students admire!"
Niwa Nagahide sighed.
"Yes," Ikeda Nobuyuki also replied, "Since His Highness Hatano is bent on restoring the old order, then I am afraid that I will not be able to say anything if I don't allow it again!" ”
"Yes," the father nodded, "Your Highness Xiushang, I also have a little suggestion, please ask Your Highness to agree!" ”
"Your Highness, please speak!"
Hatano Hidesao's heart tightened, things really won't go too smoothly! Looks like I'm going to have to fight for it again.
"The first is the 'ten-year land seizure'...... This one is absolutely not going to work! ”
Father's tone suddenly became serious, and he ignored the fact that Hatano Hidesao's expression had begun to turn cold, and continued: "Next year at the latest, the family will inspect land in Tanba, and not an inch of land will be missing!" ”
"Second, the Hatano family can have a territory of 100,000 stones, but they must leave Yagami Castle, and I will choose another place in Tamba to settle the Hatano clan!"
"Third, Akai Naomasa is unrelenting, and he was an enemy of his family many years ago, but His Royal Highness Da Nayan is merciful and willing to spare one, but please ask the Hatano family to expel this son from the country to show his determination to return!"
Hidesho Hatano's face has become very unsightly.
"The last one, about the protection of Tanba......"
In fact, although Oda Nobunaga did not make it explicit, everyone generally regarded his father as the guardian of Tanba in the future.
"Tamba is guarded by ......"
My father didn't mean to recommend himself at all, but kept scanning the surroundings with his eyes.
In the end, it is fixed on one person.
"His Royal Highness Hosokawa Fujitaka is in charge!"
This answer was really unexpected, and everyone, including Hosokawa Fujitaka, was stunned.
"Ahh
Even Hatano Hidesho couldn't help but make a sound.
"Since His Highness Hatano said that he would restore the old rites,"
Ignoring everyone's surprise, the father continued to say in a very happy tone: "
Then it would be very appropriate to let the former Tanba guard the Hosokawa clan to guard this place, don't you say, His Royal Highness Hidesho......"
Good means! Clever!
That's what everyone thinks.
One of Hidesho Hatano's faces has turned into a "bitter melon".
He never thought that his "maintenance of the old order" would actually go around him, and in the end, Akechi Mitsuhide actually brought out the Hosokawa clan, and only this one, the other two are considered 'legal', because this is according to his Hatano family's intention to "restore the old rites"......
This time, I really "can't steal a chicken and lose a handful of rice"......
(Ask for recommendation, ask for collection, I'll kneel for you...... )
