I've always gone to bed early and woke up early, and I haven't slept in this since I graduated from elementary school.

On top of that, my sleep schedule is also very fixed, hovering around six and a half hours, and if it is too large, I will not be able to sleep anyway.

In other words, if I go to bed at eight o'clock at night, then two or three o'clock in the morning will be the time when I wake up.

Therefore, when I lived in high school, my roommates were always tormented by me, a "night owl" and a "midnight ghost".

But after this era, my habit has not changed

But today seems to be an exception.

The morning sun shines through the windows.

When I woke up from my sleep, the sun had already risen.

Because I have the habit of going to bed early and waking up early, my concept of time is accurate and scary.

Even though I don't have any timekeeping tools in my hands at the moment, I can still tell with great precision that it's about half past seven in the morning.

"Miserable! Miserable! ”

I hurriedly got dressed, and there was only a quarter of an hour left before the time for our "three generals" to assemble, and if this continued, I would undoubtedly be late.

Sure enough, by the time I went to the meeting point, the Gamo clan room, Oda Nobusumi and he were already waiting for me there.

But luckily, there was still time for everything, because the two of them were just there, leisurely eating natto and rice, and drinking miso soup.

"Yo! For the sake of the great cause of the Oda family, the wise adults who are busy with the opportunity to sleep and forget to eat and sleep are here, welcome! Seeing my arrival, Oda Nobusumi, who still had natto in his mouth, sneered, "It's really an honor for us to have breakfast with Akechi, the pillar of the country." ”

"Go, go!" I replied angrily: "Uncle Ben is a pillar of the country, how can he eat with people like you?" This will ruin my appetite, clan, come! Blasting this guy out! ”

"Hahaha," the Gamo clan was amused by the "cross talk" of the two of us, "Okay, okay, Wise Lord, come and eat, it's going to be cold if you don't eat." ”

Just as the three of us young people were enjoying a leisurely breakfast while gagging, the attendant in the corridor came to report: "Three adults, there is a monk outside who asks to see you." ”

"Monk?" The three of us looked at each other, not knowing why.

Tokugawa Ieyasu Rei Buddha, he was a devout follower of the Vinaya sect, and most of the famous monks of Tokaido Temple had some friendship with him, but then again, the situation in Mikawa was very tense at the moment, and people were very careful, because if they were not careful, they would be inexplicably involved in this rebellion.

The samurai of the Tokugawa family were even more frightened, because this matter was a little careless, or it caused Oda Nobunaga unpleasant, so the day of destruction is not far away, and similarly, Takeda Katsuyori of Kanto may also be looking for an opportunity, wanting to take this opportunity to encroach on Tokugawa's territory.

Therefore, out of the consideration of self-preservation, the top and bottom of the Tokugawa territory, Shinong industry and commerce, and people at all levels were unwilling to have anything to do with Tokugawa Nobuyasu and others in this incident and us who came to investigate.

"At this time, there will be a monk who will come to see us," Oda Nobusumi looked at us with a puzzled expression, "Isn't he afraid of setting himself on fire?" Besides, is there something wrong with him? ”

"See you, what's the big deal?" The Gamo clan looked very indifferent, "Anyway, since we entered the realm of Sanhe, except for the upper echelons of the Tokugawa family, who doesn't treat us as plague gods?" ”

Listen to what you mean, are the three of us going to give up on ourselves?

"So be it, let him wait first, and we'll see him after we've eaten." ……

There are also many kinds of monks, like the group of monks and soldiers of the Yizong sect that I have seen, they are simply a group of people who are even crazier than Falungong.

Ke'er Caizang's master, Treasure Yuan Yinrong, looks like a horizontal face, and his figure is also majestic and burly, purely a wine and meat monk, I heard Ke'er Caizang tell me privately that his master, in addition to prostitution, basically broke all the rules and precepts of Buddhism.

I have also seen a lot of monks, Qingliang Temple in Kyoto, Xiangguo Temple and other famous temples and ancient temples, there are a group of fairy wind bones, looking at the very learned host and monks.

However, the monk in front of him is quite ordinary, not only has a public face that will be forgotten when he turns around, but also dresses no different from an ordinary monk.

We all thought in our hearts: It's really disappointing, and we thought it was a great monk.

"Dare to ask the master's name," Oda Nobusumi thought for a while, and felt that it seemed a little inappropriate to call the person in front of him "master", so he switched to the more ordinary "master", "Why do you come to us?" ”

When I heard the word "expensive", I suddenly thought, this guy won't be here to "turn fate" to us to fight the autumn breeze, right? That's bad, I'm a Catholic, and there's no reason to help you as a heretic.

"The little monk is a small monk in the nearby Daya Temple, and the name is Xiaoheng, and the word 'master' is really not just."

Monk Xiaoheng solemnly saluted the three of us, "I do have something to ask the three adults." ”

"Oh? What's the matter? ”

"The poor monk's original name was Iwai Hachiro Jiro, the poor monk's original name was Iwai Hachiro Jiro, from the time when the lord of this Okazaki Castle was still the ancestor of Guangzhonggong, the poor monk at that time had already served as the defender of the city, and later the major general dominated the city, because I was relatively old, he was promoted to the city commissioner, and it was not until the second year of Tensho before he retired home."

"It turned out to be an old-timer, disrespectful and disrespectful."

"Don't be so polite, the poor monk was originally just a servant, not as good as the three highnesses," Xiao Heng smiled, but I could feel that there was a bitter taste in this smile, "The poor monk has been a monk for several years, and I don't want to mention the previous things anymore." ”

"Oh, master, you really see it, but you came here, do you have any advice?"

"This ......" Xiaoheng was also a little confused in his heart, he knew that his words would bring a lot of help to the self-preservation of the Tokugawa family, which Tokugawa Ieyasu didn't know, but when the words came to his lips, he was a little hesitant.

No matter what, he is also revealing the affairs of the Mikawa people to foreigners, which is not a glorious act, and besides, the Mikawa people are upright but extremely xenophobic, and they do not have any good feelings for the mercenary Owari people, which is still the case after the Cheongju Alliance.

But this matter is related to the life and death of the Tokugawa family, and there is no room for any hesitation, in contrast, his reputation can be put aside.

"The poor monk wants to report a person to you," Monk Xiaoheng finally made up his mind, "This person is a great traitor, please report to the major general, and kill this person to thank the world!" ”

"Oh? Who are you talking about? ”

"The patriarch of the Tokugawa family, and at the same time, the current housekeeper of Okazaki Castle - Yashiro Oga!"

"Huh?!"

My eyelids jumped, "Tokugawa Ieyasu" also recorded such a person, it is indeed not a good bird, I always thought it was a novel made up, but I didn't expect there to be such a person.

(Yashiro Oga is indeed a person in history, who was deposed by Tokugawa Ieyasu after Tokugawa Nobuyasu committed suicide, and has not been seen since)

"The poor monk has come to ask the three highnesses, hoping that the three can persuade Major General Tokugawa to kill that damned Yashiro." Monk Xiaoheng's voice was high-pitched, and there was a murderous aura in it, and he couldn't see that he was a monk at all.

"What?!" The Gamo clan was stunned, "This Oga Yashiro, now has been detained by His Royal Highness the Major General and His Royal Highness the Central Affairs, you say he deserves to die, why?" ”

"This Yashiro, good at calculation and measurement, very familiar with the way of internal affairs, His Royal Highness the Major General also appreciates him, so he served as a samurai of the Tokugawa family, but since he became the pursuit of the family, he used public weapons for private purposes, embezzled public funds, accepted bribes, and employed nepotism, and what is even more odious is that in the second year of Motokame, there was a famine in Tokaido, and everyone couldn't eat, and he as a pursuer, he actually resold the little grain he produced to the Hojo family, who also had a bad harvest, three highnesses, just ask, this kind of person should not die, So who else in this world doesn't deserve to die?! ”

"Not bad!" Oda Nobusumi was indignant: "This kind of person should be cut with a thousand knives!" ”

"Wait!" The more thoughtful Gamo clan asked, "This person is extremely guilty, master, didn't you, as an insider, tell His Royal Highness Major General Tokugawa about this matter?" ”

"Alas~ I'm such a traitor, how could I not say it?" Monk Xiaoheng sighed, "But that guy Yashiro was recommended by Lord Tadashi Okubo Shichiro Uemon, and Lord Okubo has always been deeply trusted by His Royal Highness the Major General, so Aiya and Wu, no matter what I say, His Royal Highness the Major General turned a deaf ear, but instead rebuked me for being jealous of my colleagues, and although Lord Okubo was magnanimous and did not get angry with me, he did not take Yashiro's various behaviors seriously, alas! ”

All right! It's finally time to get involved in officialdom.

"Later, Yashiro's bastard somehow found out about my report on him, gritted his teeth with hatred, and threatened to retaliate against me. When I saw that I had no wife or children, I simply stopped being a samurai and went directly to the nearby Onoji Temple to become a monk, which was probably for refuge. ”

"Having said all this, this is just a private matter of the Tokugawa family," Oda Nobusumi shrugged and spread his hands, "The three of us are outsiders, so it's really hard to come forward to solve this matter." ”

"Hey! Xincheng! Can't you hear it yet? I can't stand the "slow three beats" of Oda Nobusumi's brain, "It's rare for the master to come here just to complain to the three of us?" ”

"But if he wants to kill that Yashiro, there's really nothing we can do."

The Gamo clan looked at Monk Xiaoheng, "Master, I want to ask you, do you want to say that the head of the Tokugawa family, Lord Oga Yashiro, is related to this rebellion?" ”

"Exactly!" Seeing that his mind was finally known, Xiao Heng looked at the Gamo clan with gratitude, "Yashiro Oga is the real mastermind of this rebellion!" ”
