Chapter 69: Precipitation
"My lord, you have become the general of Zhengyi?" Takigawa Kazuyi put back the shuriken in his sleeve with a puzzled face.
"Who knows!" Guo Jia hadn't figured out what this Baidi Tanbo was going to do here, and suddenly he became a general of Zhengyi verbally, and there was no emperor handwriting. Everything happened too suddenly, and it can be said that Guo Jia was completely caught off guard.
"Baidi He Yu, what kind of medicine are you and your master buying in the gourd?" Guo Jia squinted his eyes and thought about the purpose of the two of them.
He Yu didn't say a word, with a mocking smile on his face.
"Let me think about it." Guo Jia had to quickly figure out what the Emperor, or Hyakji Tanba, was thinking.
"I was said to be the general of Zhengyi, and only the four of us present knew about this matter, that's for sure. It was impossible for Hyakuchi Tanba to let the ninjas of the Yin Mass hear their conversation. And this situation is that we do not have any imperial handwriting, then this order can be said to be a blank check, and nothing exists. ”
"The question is, why did the Emperor choose me? Why is it so straightforward all of a sudden? Wait a minute! Wrong, not the emperor's choice! What right does a puppet have! What do you want to do? Guo Jia looked at He Yu, who was sneering at him in front of him, and instantly understood all this. Shook his head helplessly, he still fell for the trick!
This Baidi Danbo is really powerful, he completely grasped Guo Jia's mind during the time just now, and brought Guo Jia from one bureau to another in just a few words!
Guo Jia now understands that Baidi Tanbo did not bring any emperor's dictation at all, but Baidi Tanbo's own decision! Would a puppet emperor dare to resist like this, he wouldn't. When the last general of Zhengyi coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, he was cowardly and inactive, and now he will definitely not change.
"Your master's ambition is really a bit big!" After Guo Jia thought everything through, he regained the feeling of forging ahead in the past.
"It seems that you are a smart person, don't do anything stupid." He Yu smiled and disappeared into the council hall, it seemed that things had calmed down like this, but Guo Jia didn't think so in his heart.
"Since you want to play, then I'll play with you. Take advantage of me? Hum! He finally made a decision in his heart.
"Call them in." Guo Jia cheered up, turned his gaze to Takigawa Yiyi next to him, and then added. "Don't reveal this matter to anyone, this is my duel with Baidi Tanbo!"
"Yes! My lord. Takikawa Kazuyi paused, bowed to Guo Jia, and walked out of the council hall to summon the ministers outside.
"I've wronged you." Guo Jia looked at the people who were wiping the rain on their bodies, and felt a little uncomfortable.
"From today onwards, we will stop all disputes with other countries, and we will strive to develop our own strength." Guo Jia didn't wait for everyone to respond, and said a sentence again.
Everyone was shocked, the current Owari is in full swing, it is a good opportunity to raise troops to divide the major cities, why did Guo Jia suddenly let Owari settle down? In the eyes of others, Guo Jia may be a warmonger, but it was just a battle with other big names, which can be regarded as a small fight. However, after seeing Baidi Tanbo, Guo Jia's goal is no longer to look at these big names, but a behemoth! Emperor!
Before that, he also had the determination to end the troubled times, but at this time, he promised to Baidi Tanba that caused him to ride a tiger. In that case, why not make things bigger? Anyway, the end goal is the same!
"The Shomu Battalion, all the members of the Military Aircraft Department have entered the Owari Academy to take charge of it, and vigorously develop everything in Owari. Accumulate more grain and build high walls! The Ministry of Supervision strictly cracked down on the order of the various cities in Owari, and the fire regiment was divided into 300 people as the inspection team and the law enforcement team. Ministry of Industry and Commerce, your task is to do everything possible to accumulate my tuntian. If there is a shortage of manpower in each department, how to maintain the military camp and dignitaries, we must develop Owari. Guo Jia began to release a series of rough decisions, which stunned others.
"My lord, where is Ise Mino?" Not long ago, Guo Jia heard that the treasury was empty and asked Shibata Katsuya to go out to attack Ise and Mino. But now he wants to temporarily disperse the general's battle group and develop Owari, and these two things are in conflict!
"Don't say goodbye, if they don't take a long time to get us first, it doesn't hurt if the military battle group is dispatched." Guo Jia didn't want to develop rapidly by fighting, but this kind of behavior would make him the target of public criticism, and once there was a problem, Baidi Tanbo would eat away at his land in a more rapid way.
"Let's wait for me to make a decision, now we only have one way to choose from Owari."
The rain stopped, and the clouds dispersed. The first dawn of the morning also appeared in the sky, and the bright light pierced the dark clouds and dispelled the darkness. The light was not so warm yet, and it shone down in the chamber, brightening up places where candlelight could not reach. Everyone followed Guo Jia's gaze to the place where the sun rose and admired this beautiful scenery. It's a pity that the light that can dispel the darkness can't dispel the gloom in Guo Jia's heart.
A wry smile gradually appeared on his face, everything that happened today made him so unforgettable! In the past, he thought he was invincible in the world, but now he has been beaten by an unknown person. It's ridiculous that he is ignorant, and there are people outside the mountain, as if he is laughing at his behavior. Guo Jia realized that if he continued to be like this, sooner or later he would lead himself into an abyss from which he could never recover.
"We've worked hard tonight, but we can't relax yet, and we still need to step up some planning these days. Let's go back, and in the afternoon we will come to the council hall to discuss the future plans. There are some things that I can't discuss with you in detail, so please forgive me. Guo Jia is tired, what he is tired of is not his sleepless body, but his soul that has fallen into the deep valley.
"Your Excellency. No matter what you do, my Maeda Toshiya will definitely follow the adult's side! ”
"Me too!"
"Everyone can understand me so much, and it is also a blessing for Guo Jia, thank you!" At this time, Guo Jia actually bowed to them in front of all the retainers!
What is this behavior? It's an unbelievable thing. No one can do this!
There is a difference between monarchs and ministers, from ancient times to the present, there is only a minister to a courtesy, how can there be a king to a courtier! No one can do this, Guo Jia's behavior is not to say anything, and it is right to say that there is no one who has never come before!
"What are you doing, sir?"
In an instant, the civil and military officials in the hall all knelt on the ground and bowed their heads.
"Everyone, please get up. You guys are tormenting me Guo Jia! "Since he was a child, he has never been treated like this, he just sincerely thanked his loyal ministers, but in exchange for their fear.
"My lord, the minister has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not!" At this time, Hirate Masahide knelt on the ground and spoke.
"Get up first, don't do this kind of thing!" Guo Jia helped everyone up one by one, and then said, "Grandpa, if you have anything to say, it's okay to say it!" ”
Hirate Masahide, who had already gotten up, bowed his head slightly and said, "My lord, since ancient times, there has been a difference between respect and inferiority, as courtiers, we must have a heart of respect for adults, and it is our duty to bow down, but adults can't do this, you are our monarch, and we are your courtiers, this is the difference between respect and inferiority." I know that adults have always treated us as friends and family without any prejudice, and we enjoy this too, but adults must not do such a partly humiliating thing! ”
Hisho Masahide was talking about what Guo Jia had just bowed to them.
"Grandpa, gentlemen. It's been four months since I became an Owari daimyo, and you've been supporting me both before and after. I'm thanking you for that, why not? Besides, from the very beginning, I intended to build a world where all people are equal, regardless of dignity or inferiority! Then I have to set an example with my own behavior! Guo Jia was about to explain to them, but they suddenly knelt down again.
"My lord! Don't say that again! This world will never appear, my lord! ”
"yes, don't say that!"
Everyone stopped Guo Jia's words in unison, maybe in their eyes, this world really doesn't exist.
"Well, don't do that. I'm not going to mention it anymore. Guo Jia had no choice but to help a few people up and left.
Why don't they believe in themselves? obviously gave him such a chance, why is everything still not going well! Let's just change their views slowly.
The ancient wild castle tower, the air was washed spotless by the rain overnight, and the air mixed with the aroma of earth and plants eased Guo Jia's heavy mood a lot, Guo Jia, who was supposed to wake up to meet the day, fell asleep next to Gui Die because he had no sleep all night, of course Gui Die knew Guo Jia's return, but she didn't get up, she still pretended to be asleep.
The sound of breathing slowly sprayed on Guidie's face with hot air, Guo Jia was already asleep, she opened her eyes and looked at the man in front of her who was only a few inches away from her, gently twisted her body to get closer to Guo Jia, and put her arm on his body to warm him.
Guidie didn't know what Guo Jia had experienced that night, she only knew that Guo Jia was called out by Takigawa Kazuyi and said what kind of assassin he was. And then I came back here when it was dawn. When Guo Jia took off his clothes, Gui Die looked at his back like that and noticed the changes in Guo Jia, discouraged and helpless. Guo Jia must have experienced a lot of things this night. When he wakes up, comfort him.
Guo Jia's retainers also went back to their respective homes to sort out the terms and plans that Guo Jia said before, and then they would rest separately. Perhaps in the afternoon Guo Jia will summon them to this meeting to decide the future development of Owari. Keeping a clear head is something they must do as retainers.
The rooster's crowing failed to wake these people, they were all immersed in their dreams, and the world Guo Jia said might come true one day, but they might not be able to see it in their lifetime, maybe they could see it in their dreams.
Everyone wants to see this kind of equal world, but they also have an ambivalent mentality and do not want this kind of world to appear.
