It was said to be a side dish, but because it was still early, this "food" was made into breakfast, white rice, soy tofu, sweet radish, pickled fish sticks, miso soup, and rice cakes.

Xiang Ji was very dissatisfied with this, and she reprimanded loudly:

"Can this be used to entertain guests?! How do you do things? ”

"His Royal Highness Xianghime don't need to be angry," Honda Masanobu picked up a piece of rice cake and nibbled on it in a small bite, "It's too early to come down, so that the servants understand this meal as breakfast, everything is because of it, no wonder they, but this rice cake tastes really good, fragrant and delicious, I'm afraid it's made of Omi's rice, right?" ”

"I didn't think that Honda-sama also studied diet," Kahime looked at him without blinking, "Is this also your specialty?" ”

"Your Highness said with a smile, I once opened a restaurant in Sakamoto Castle, and I was fortunate to be patronized by the young master."

"Is that really the case?"

"Yes," I nodded, "the food at Honda-sama's store is delicious." ”

"Versatile Honda-sama, I really want to learn your craft."

"Okay, Kahime," and if Honda Masanobu had a good temper (in fact, it wasn't good at all), he would be forced to stand it by Kahime, so I interjected, "Honda-sama is now a samurai of the family, how can I let him go back to the kitchen?" ”

“……”

"Honda-sama, let's have breakfast first, I still have some things I want to ask."

After saying this, the four of us ate with our heads down, and there was no more word.

Not long after we finished eating, my "cheap uncle" Wise Chang'an came.

To tell the truth, Wise Chang'an has been working in our "Wise Group" for a long time, and it can basically be regarded as conscientious, and the wisdom and skill of the "chief official of the world" in history have been brought into full play.

And a month earlier, he had presided over the construction of the "City of Milan" (-_-|||A name that makes people want to complain) has been completed, and Hosokawa Fujitaka, who has returned from Tanba, said that although the city of Milan is not as luxurious as Nijo Castle, it is also a very beautiful castle.

Although he has made a lot of achievements, I ...... him

It may be an exaggeration to say that it is a "contradiction", but it is not too much to say that it is "tangled".

There are two reasons, one of which is, of course, because of the "good deeds" he has done in history, so that I can never be completely at ease with him.

Second, I wanted to find a retainer for the family, but in the end I found an uncle, you say, which traverser can encounter such a thing? Can I tolerate it?

"Chang'an, have you had breakfast?" I "cordially greet" Comrade Wise Chang'an.

"The minister has already eaten." Wise Chang'an cooperated with a look of "thank you for the leadership's concern". 、

I pointed at Honda Masanobu with a folding fan and introduced, "Well, let me introduce you, this is the retainer I just accepted for my father, a famous son of Mikawa, Honda Yahachiro Masanobu-sama...... Zhengxin, this is the general executive of the family - Wise Lord Chang'an, you two get to know each other. ”

The historical "Okubo Chang'an (now Wise Chang'an) incident" was planned by Honda Masanobu, so I think that these two famous civil officials in history are incompatible with each other.

(To be precise, Okubo's loyal neighbors are incompatible with Honda Masanobu, and Okubo Chang'an is just being involved for no reason as the "Okubo Party")

So at the beginning, desperate, even being teased, I had to recruit Honda Masanobu, in addition to appreciating his talents, there is also a very important point, I hope that there is someone to check and balance Wise Chang'an, me and my father, and my successor, if it is inconvenient to attack Wise Chang'an, you can also borrow someone else's knife to kill, the person you want to kill.

"Lord Benda, Chang'an has always been dull, and things are always unreliable, if you have anything to advise, please don't be polite, although correct."

"Wise lord, you are too polite, I have heard of your name when I was a ronin, people call you 'Sakamoto's great butler', in terms of the ability to deal with internal affairs, except for the lord and the young lord, I am afraid that no one in this family can compare with you," Honda Masanobu showed his most familiar smile again, looking more like a fox.

"And you are also the brother of the lord, a member of the family, how can I guide you?"

I'm Kao! Honda Masanobu, why don't you open which pot to mention?

I was struggling again.

"That Chang'an, Zhengxin," just when I was struggling, Xiangji beside me opened her mouth, "What do you have to say, you two will talk about it later, Chang'an, what the young master asked you to do last time, has it been done?" ”

"Your Royal Highness Xianghime, don't worry!" As soon as he heard that he was going to report on his work, Wise Chang'an immediately came to his senses, because the work he did was what he had always been best at, "Regarding the relevant entries on the management of the Nanban Sect, I have drafted them, young master, please take a look." ”

He handed me a blank piece of paper.

"The norms of the Nanbarian Religion (here specifically Catholicism).

First, the Nanban followers indirectly obeyed the orders of the Pope (Pope) in the Far West, but they were also required to abide by the Japanese criminal law, and all believers who disobeyed the criminal law would be severely punished according to the Japanese criminal law.

Second, the Emperor of Japan, or the Supreme Head of Government of Japan appointed by him, shall be in charge of all affairs of the Southern Barbarian Church in Japan, and if the Pope has no time to deal with Oriental affairs, the Supreme Head of Government of Japan shall exercise the power of administration of the Pope.

Thirdly, the Nanban Church must convene a church and hold various religious affairs with the permission of the Japanese government, otherwise it will be regarded as an illegal assembly and will be dealt with in accordance with the Japanese criminal law.

Fourthly, the Nanban Christians have the right to reside, use, lease and other rights to the land in Japan, but the ownership of the land is owned by the Japanese government, and the purchase or transfer of the land by the believers without permission must be carried out with the permission of the Japanese government officials, otherwise it will be regarded as illegal.

Fifth, in the whole territory of Japan, in the seven provinces of Wugi, and in 66 prefectures, all sects and sects are equal, and there is no distinction between high and low, and they must love each other, and they must not maliciously slander each other or gather to fight. ”

"Well, it's written in great detail, and it's basically summarized." I nodded, "I had a headache at the beginning of the meeting for a few days, but now it's okay, everything is settled, and I can sleep peacefully." ”

As Pastore had thought, my father and I gathered our retainers and summoned him and a few other missionaries to discuss the issue.

At the beginning, most of the people who were Buddhists and some were Shintoists because of the presence of the wise family, except for me, had a quarrel with Pastoree and the others, and the grumpy Saito almost pulled out his sword to cut people.

And so this tiresome "synod" went on for two whole days.

Finally there is this.

In the beginning, there were more than just five regulations, and not only were there many articles, but also the conditions were demanding.

You may think that the above five articles are very excessive for the Nanban Sect, but in fact, at the beginning, there was a lot more than this harsh article, and in the end, it was canceled or revised under the strong opposition of Pastore and others.

This set of "regulations" was borrowed from the historical reforms of Henry VIII and was accepted by the missionaries without changing the doctrine of Catholicism and without directly targeting Catholics.

It is said that it is not directly aimed at the Nanban religion, because in the near future, in Tamba, whether it is Buddhism or Shintoism, similar regulations will be promulgated, anyway, the religious power of Tamba is weak, and no matter how wise people toss, they can't make any big waves.

At the end of the meeting, Pastore, with trembling hands, asked me: "Are you really a Catholic too?" Your Highness? ”

I smiled and replied, "Of course I am, but I'm also Japanese!" ”

This sentence was heard by everyone present, and they all wrote it down in their own way.

So there is one more famous saying in history.

Wise Shinmitsu: I love God, and I love Japan even more!

Later generations of Japanese patriotic and indignant youths all took Wise Shinmitsu, that is, me, as an example of patriotic education, and made up all kinds of absurd and non-existent examples.

"Very good!" I complimented him, "Print a few more copies and send them to the houses of Mitsutada-sama, Saito-sama, Hosokawa-sama, and the Nanban Church, and Mr. Pastore, Mr. Firo, and others, all of whom will be delivered." ”

"Yes."

The Nanban Church I am talking about is not the famous Nanban Temple in history, but on the other hand, on the Shijo Bomen Street.

It was a newly built church, so close to my mansion that every day I could hear songs in a style so familiar that I had fallen asleep in my previous life.

Okay, that's almost the end of the matter of the Nanban Sect, and now it's time to talk about some serious things.

"Now that things are almost handled here in Kyoto, the goal of the next stage of the family will be the San'in Dao, and if you want to plot the San'in Dao, the first thing to plot is the Tanba Kingdom,"

Speaking of this, I looked at Honda Masanobu with some expectation: "Honda-sama, you are new to our house, and you are not familiar with the big and small things of this family, maybe it is a bit rude for me to ask like this, but I still want to ask, do you have any high opinions?" ”

Honda Masanobu smiled: "My family once captured Tanba, it is said that everything in Tanba should be very familiar, and I have never been in Tanba, and I don't know anything about which country, so, young master, I am afraid that you did not ask the right person?" ”

Hehe, who are you bluffing?

If other newcomers say this, I may believe it, but the question is, will you, a dignified person who is known as the "Tokugawa family's first think tank", really be so helpless?

And malice my understanding of you, if you dare to come to me, I'm afraid you have already been prepared on the road and have seriously thought about this problem.

You want to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf in front of me again, don't you?

I'm not going to give you a chance today!

"That's a pity, I already have a set of ideas, I originally wanted to communicate with you, but now I suddenly remember that I have something to do, so let's talk about it another day, if it's nothing, please step down first."
