Chapter 2: Conquering Yoshida
"Honorable status, haha! Status! Xia Xiang couldn't help laughing at himself: "The status is so noble that even walking around is restricted?" ”
Yoshida Sokatsu bowed his head and was silent, this was not something he could decide.
"Doctor Yoshida, don't worry, I have asked for the approval of the Gongfang Palace, temporarily go to your medical hall to recuperate for a few days, and then return to the mansion when my condition improves." After Xia Xiang said this, he remembered that when General Yoshito visited a few days ago, he begged General Yoshito to agree to go out to recuperate, and even said that his time was running out, so he reluctantly agreed. After all, General Yoshito himself is also a puppet of Miyoshi Chokei, and he is moved by compassion under sympathy.
Because of this incident, Miyoshi Chokei also openly accused General Yoshito and restricted the general's rights, but he did not stop Hosokawa Senimaru from leaving, and only threw a sentence: "Measure this little boy, and he can't escape from the palm of my hand." ”
"Yes, then I'll be wronged by Yagatata-sama for the time being." Yoshida Munegui bowed down.
"Doctor Yoshida doesn't have to be polite, you and I have known each other for more than half a year, you are a doctor, and you are really a master craftsman, teaching me sinology, medical classics, and astronomy. It's hard work, please be worshiped by the smart pill. After saying that, Xia Xiang struggled to sit up and salute.
"Yagatata-sama must not be like this, I dare not take it in the next place!" Frightened, Yoshida Sogui hurriedly stopped him.
Hum! That's what I want. Xia Xiang saluted on the surface, but in fact, he was using his identity to suppress him, and the rank was quite strict in this era.
After the arrangements were made, Xia Xiang set off to live temporarily at the Yoshida Medical Center, followed by a handful of maids, two samurai, and ten ashigaru, named Servants, but in fact, they were all minions of Miyoshi Changqing. The administrative affairs of the leader are temporarily handed over to the Hosokawa clan to take charge of him.,He is the head of the Hosokawa family.,The head of the stable family.,Hosokawa Senchimaru's cousin.。
Yoshida Sokrie's clinic is located in Kyoto, which is actually his own residence, with a front room for medical treatment, and two living huts in the back room, and a small courtyard between the front and back rooms.
The main house at the back was cleaned up and handed over to Xia Xiang, and the side house was occupied by Dr. Yoshida, while his wife went back to his father's and brother's house to live temporarily, and the maids could only go to the front room to settle down. As for the samurai and ashigaru who guarded it, I'm sorry! Wherever it is cool, you can only stand guard outside the door, and you are not allowed to enter the inner room.
Late at night, Xia Xiang came out of his house, the courtyard was quiet, and the guards were all monitoring the periphery.
The "squeak" barrier was gently pulled open, and a short figure rushed in, closing the door with a backhand.
"Doctor Yoshida, Doctor Yoshida, wake up." A childish voice called softly.
Yoshida Zonggui was pushed awake, and when he looked at it, it turned out to be Xia Xiang. "Hosokawa-sama!"
"Silence!" Xia Xiang drank in a low voice, and the two sat cross-legged with each other.
Yoshida Sogui asked in a puzzled low voice, "Lord Yagatata, wake up late at night, but what's the matter?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just that I studied the medical scriptures today, and there is a problem that has puzzled me for a long time, causing me to toss and turn at night. Therefore, when I came to visit late at night, I hoped that Dr. Yoshida could give me a solution. Xia Xiang said slowly, looking a little nervous.
"Dare to ask Yagata-sama, what's the confusion?" Yoshida Sokatsui leaned over and asked.
"What is medical ethics?" Xia Xiang asked word by word.
"In the Song Dynasty's "Saving Hearts: On Medicine", it was pointed out that those who have no constant virtue cannot be doctors." Yoshida Zonggui said like a number of family treasures: "Sun Simiao, the famous medicine king of the Tang Dynasty, believes that if there is a person who comes to seek help, he should not ask whether he is rich or poor, whether he is rich or poor, whether he is young or young, who is wronged by relatives and friends, Huayi is foolish, and universal, all of which are like the thoughts of his closest relatives. It is for patients to be like relatives, and not to be taken lightly by peers. ”
"If a patient is like a close relative, I wonder if Dr. Yoshida regards me as a close relative?" Xia Xiang looked at Yoshida Zonggui seriously.
Yoshida Sogui hurriedly leaned down and bowed: "I am in a panic, the status of Lord Yagata is noble......"
"Enough!" Xia Xiang rudely interrupted Yoshida Sokkai's words.
"Dr. Yoshida, you don't have a child yet, so you may not be able to understand it, but imagine if your child is an incarcerated hostage and threatens his life at any time, how do you feel? The heart of the healer's parents is also! ”
After being silent for a long time, the low-hanging Yoshida Sogui finally spoke: "I understand that Yagata-sama's sentence 'the heart of the doctor's parents is also deep' is the essence of medical ethics and is the great way. I wish to die for the Lord! After speaking, he touched the ground with his head, and the title was changed, he still has no children, and today he is also doing this for his own blessing, he believes in Buddhism.
"Well, this family has officially appointed you as the imperial physician of the Hosokawa family, and when I am safe, I will be rewarded separately." Xia Xiang sat straight, the stone in his heart finally landed, and the emotional offensive of more than half a year finally worked.
"Thank you, Lord for your love! Please let the lord command. "Yoshida Sokira bowed down.
"Well, send someone to Mikawa Country to find Hattori Iwami Mamoru Chief, and say that after the deceased, he is in danger, and he hopes to save him, and he will be grateful." Xia Xiang instructed that Hattori was the key person he heard from General Yoshito.
That was more than ten years ago, the Hosokawa family was the giant that dominated Gyeonggi, the general's family was still a puppet, and Miyoshi Changqing was just a retainer of the Hosokawa family.
And this Hattori Baochang's real surname is Chigaji, who was originally the head of the three families of Iga Kamishinobi, and later went out of the mountain to serve the father of General Yoshito, the 12th general of the Muromachi shogunate, Ashikaga Yoshiharu. Later, when I saw that the Muromachi shogunate was mourning and had become poor, Matsudaira Kiyoyasu of Mikawa gave more money.
So, after serving the general for less than a year, he betrayed the general's family, concealed his identity, changed his surname to Hattori, served Matsudaira Kiyoyasu and Matsudaira Hirotada, and became the leader of the secret spies.
Yoshida Sokai immediately responded: "Yes, my father Yoshida Sotada was originally a doctor in Kyoto, and later specialized in the clothing and belt business in Kyoto, and he served as the head of the Kyoto Obiza in the thirteenth year of Astronomy." Now he is succeeded by his brother Yoshida Mitsushige, and he can send a few apprentices in the store to go, nominally to go out to run business, which can hide people's eyes and ears. But I wonder where Mikawa Province can find Hattori-sama? Will he accede to his family's request? ”
"First go to the area around Okazaki in Mikawa Province, and if you can't find it, you will shout all over the street: Hattori Iwami Mamoru Chief! Your mom is calling you home for dinner! Xia Xiang waved his hand a little annoyed, thinking that if he found someone, he needed his own guidance, when would there be a group of capable retainers.
"Uh, yes! I understand it below.,I'll arrange for someone to find Hattori-sama.。 Yoshida Sogui was stunned for a moment, and then leaned over to receive the order.
There was nothing to say all night, and when he got up early in the morning, Yoshida Sogui went out on time to collect medicine. When I came back, it was a little later than usual, and the guards didn't care, maybe the medicine was not good today, so I walked a little farther.
It's another dark and windy night, why again? Xia Xiang hasn't slept for several nights, and it's been more than half a month since he came out to recuperate. Hosokawa had been urging him to go back several times, and he learned from his tone that his cheap dad had not only not relented, but had become more and more intense.
Xia Xiang's situation is already precarious, and Yoshida Munegui has not heard from Hattori Baochang, I don't know if no one has been found, or if the other party does not accept the commission.
"Damn! Why hasn't there been news yet! Three days! Miyoshi Changqing ordered me to go back in three days! Why is this happening? Is it going to fall short? Xia Xiang turned over irritably, and re-analyzed to see if there were any mistakes: "Even if there is no friendship, to hype up the information of the deceased around Okazaki like this is to force him Hattori to show up." Is it difficult to see the messenger and not accept the commission? Shouldn't it? ”
At the beginning, Hattori Hocho took refuge in the Matsudaira family, and the head of the family, Matsudaira Kiyoyasu, was killed by Yashichiro Abe on December 5, 1535 at the foot of Moriyama Castle (Matsudaira family is called Moriyama), which is known as "Moriyama Avalanche" (Moriyama Avalanche).
Hattori was held accountable for being a servant and guarding poorly. On April 3, 1549, the new head of the family, Matsudaira Hirotada, died suddenly while on a patrol, and the cause of death is unknown, and it is rumored that he was assassinated by Iwamatsu Hachiya. The young head of the Matsudaira family was sent to Junfu to become a hostage, and the dragons in the family were leaderless, so there was naturally no Yulu.
"So, the Hattori family has been the most difficult period in the past two years, and I heard that as long as you give money, you dare to do it." After analyzing this, Xia Xiang suddenly thought of a possibility: "Is it because I wrote him a blank check?" Didn't give money on the spot, so didn't come? Isn't that embarrassing? The point is, I don't have any money! You can only rely on flickering. Yes!! Damn it! What to do! ”
Suddenly, as if he smelled a faint fragrance, Xia Xiang fell asleep unconsciously.
