Syllable!!!

"Cleared the level again, it's too simple, don't these people who make games have some IQ? Can't you do it a little harder? Xia Xiang sat in front of the computer, looking at the "Nobunaga's Ambition: Great Ambition" that had been cleared in front of him, and kept complaining.

Suddenly, a sentence appeared on the interface of the unified world.

"Want to take it a little more difficult? Want to get real thrills? ”

"Heh, it's like the truth, I want to see what kind of stimulation method it is!" I clicked YES without hesitation. Electric shock, cold ......

"Hosokawa-sama? Hosokawa Yamaga-sama? A middle-aged man's voice whispered softly in his ear.

"Hmm~~" I don't know whether it was a response or an unconscious whisper, Xia Xiang slowly opened his eyes and looked back at the middle-aged man on the side, dressed in ancient Japanese clothes.

"You are? Ah~~ My head hurts! Xia Xiang covered his head, feeling that his head was about to explode.

"Lord Hui, in Shimoyoshida Munegui, a doctor in Kyoto, came to see you, how do you feel?" Yoshida Munegui bowed deeply, and his tone was very humble.

"Look? What's going on? How did I end up here? Xia Xiang suddenly found that his body had shrunk, and he looked like a five-year-old child, and he stood there on the spot.

"Yagata-sama, did you forget? Today is the day you take over the position of shogunate, and during the ceremony, you suddenly fainted, did you hit your head when you fell? Yoshida Sokirai hurriedly examined Xia Xiang's head injury, wondering if he had amnesia.

"I'm rubbing! Crossed? ”

It took a long time for Xia Xiang to react, accept the reality of this time-traveling, lie about amnesia, and talk to the doctor to try to recall.

It turned out that it was the first month of the 21st year of Tenbun (1552), and it was the day when the shogun Ashikaga Yoshito and Miyoshi Nagakei reached a reconciliation and returned to Kyoto.

And Hosokawa Yagata refers to Xia Xiang, whose young name is Smart Maru, the son of Hosokawa Harumoto, the head of the Kyozhao family of the Hosokawa clan, and his mother is the daughter of Rokkaku Dingyori.

"It's this era." Xia Xiang has played games such as "Nobunaga's Ambition" and "Taiko Rishiden", and knows that it is the end of the Muromachi shogunate, and it is the Warring States period when Japan rose together and descended.

In other words, it is now Miyoshi Chokei to dominate Gyeonggi, Oda Nobunaga will step on the head of Imagawa Yoshimoto to climb to the top of Japanese history in eight years, and Mori Yuan will become the overlord of Yin and Yang in a few years.

And Tokugawa Ieyasu, who founded the Tokugawa shogunate in Japan, is still a hostage in the Imagawa family. As for Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who unified Japan, he is now just a lowly peasant with no fixed residence.

"Hosokawa-sama, it's time to drink the medicine." Xia Xiang looked at a bowl of black potion, pinched his nose and drank it.

"Yagata-sama, I'll come back tomorrow to deliver medicine to you, so you can rest." Dr. Yoshida cleaned up and withdrew with his head bowed.

"Hey~~ Although he is a noble shogunate, he is actually the same as Emperor Han Xian of the Three Kingdoms, he is a puppet doll, and I am afraid that he will die in the end." Xia Xiang thought about such a bitter reality, and he didn't sleep well after tossing and turning all night.

Early the next morning, Dr. Yoshida came to deliver medicine to Xia Xiang again, and in the future, he would come over on time every day to deliver and feed the medicine, and as the days went by, the two became more and more familiar with each other.

"Oh? Has Dr. Yoshida also been to Daming? Hearing the word Da Ming, Xia Xiang couldn't help but scold: 'Let's cross over, and I also crossed to Japan. I'm going home. Damn, how can I go back. ’

"Exactly, I went to Daming as an envoy..."

It turned out that this Yoshida physician had served as an envoy with the monk Cehiko Zhouliang, crossed the sea twice to the Ming Empire, and was named the imperial doctor by Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty with his superb medical skills, which won a very high evaluation, and was therefore awarded the monk of the Dharma seal after returning to China.

"Then please teach me Da Ming." Xia Xiang stayed in this deep palace and deeply felt the taste of captivity, and he couldn't get out of trouble on his own, so he recently thought about how to use this Yoshida doctor as a foreign aid.

"Since Yagata-sama wants to learn, I'll teach you Chinese studies below." As a result, Dr. Yoshida gave another lecture in addition to healing.

This matter soon reached the ears of Miyoshi Changqing, and it seems that surveillance is everywhere. However, he did not object, and in his eyes there was nothing wrong with this, because the Hosokawa family originally believed in Zen Buddhism, and Zen Buddhism was the main teacher of Sinology.

Spring has gone to autumn, Xia Xiang's body has gradually recovered, and he can get out of bed and move. However, the concierge was strictly guarded, and he was not allowed to step half a step out of the courtyard door, and the only way he could go out was to meet General Yoshito, but there were 180 guards alone.

"Hahaha, I remember that Ling Zun was in control of Gyeonggi here, but now you have become a hostage, it is really impermanent." Xia Xiang and the 13th shogun of the shogunate, Ashikaga Yoshito, were chatting casually, when suddenly a samurai came in from outside the door and approached the two unimpeded.

"It turns out that the steward is also here, and the things that happened to be talking about below are also a little related to you." After speaking, he didn't salute, and sat aside with a big grin, this person is Miyoshi Changqing, General Yoshito frowned and endured it.

"Recently, I heard that Ling Zun and your uncle are preparing to raise troops in Omi again, please ask the lord to repair a letter, saying that you are all right here, please don't worry about them." Miyoshi Changqing casually threw Xia Xiang pen and paper and motioned for him to write a letter to his family.

"Don't worry, Lord Miyoshi, I'll write it now." Xia Xiang swallowed his anger and picked up the pen and began to write: "By the way, I don't know how my mother is, I'm adding a greeting, so it seems sincere." ”

"Hehe~~ Plus, plus, I heard that your mother just gave birth and is also a baby boy." Miyoshi Changqing said indifferently, anyway, he was using Xia Xiang as a hostage to threaten Hosokawa Harumoto.

Xia Xiang staggered for a while, and then continued to write a letter to his family as if nothing had happened.

"I'm afraid time is running out." Xia Xiang, who was lying on the couch at night, couldn't calm down for a long time, and the daytime information had already sent a dangerous signal.

"It seems that my cheap father is going to give me up, and he has a son, so he doesn't have to worry about the family name being passed on. When he raises his army, it will be the day of my death, no! I can't wait any longer, I have to take a chance! Xia Xiang sat up and began to think about his next move, through the past six months of testing and observation, he determined that this Yoshida Sogui was indeed just an ordinary doctor in Kyoto.

"But just by relying on him as a doctor, I'm afraid it won't be able to help me escape, Miyoshi Changqing's control is getting stricter and stricter, surrounded by his eyes and ears, and there is no one available. However, when I met with General Yoshito today, I mentioned the past and talked about a person, and maybe the success or failure depends on him. Xia Xiang felt that it was so difficult to come to the Warring States, and he was originally reincarnated as a golden phoenix, but the result was not as good as a chicken. Looking at how others crossed one by one, they were shocked one by one, and the famous ministers and warriors bowed their heads, but they spent nearly a year on a doctor, why is the gap so big.

"Today we are talking about "The Mean", the predicate of the mandate of heaven, the predicate of the Tao, the predicate of the Tao, and the predicate of the Tao of cultivation..."More than half a year of teaching, Xia Xiang learned quickly and deeply, so that Yoshida Zonggui was extremely amazed, this is simply a genius, so the attitude is even more respectful.

"Dr. Yoshida, can I be released on medical parole?" Xia Xiang took advantage of the break to ask what he had thought in the past few days.

"Parole? Medical treatment? Dare to ask Yagatata-sama, who is on parole? Also sick? Yoshida asked suspiciously.

"Ahem, um~~ That, Dr. Yoshida, I am very grateful that you have been taking care of me since I became seriously ill. Now that it's winter, I want to take advantage of the winter to go out and do activities. Xia Xiang asked tentatively, this is the key first step, as long as you can get out, you will have a chance to escape.

"This~~" Yoshida Sogui was very embarrassed, he was just a doctor, sandwiched between two big people, and he was most afraid of this kind of thing.

"Lord Yagata is the pillar of the Kawachi Genji samurai family, the Ashikaga Gongbo Hall is powerful, and the Hosokawa Kyozhao family is the head of the three-position family, and his status is noble, how can he ~ easily ~ go out." In the end, Yoshida Sokkai's voice gradually weakened, and he still decided not to help, after all, it was Miyoshi Chokei who was in charge.
