67. Boring politics

The persuasion temple in front of him must not be the same faction as Ji Xiu of Zhengqin Town, otherwise there is something to say that can be conveyed or introduced through him, which is not only secret but also convenient. But it should be reasonable to think that their relationship should be reasonable, of course, this does not mean that the two opposing sides must not have contact with each other's allies, this kind of thing not only happens but is quite common. The key point is that if that's the case, he shouldn't mention the name of Masaki Town Jixiu at this moment, and the reason why I say this is that I hope I can understand their situation through the mouth of Masa Town, Ji Xiu.

"Speaking of the blessing of the right general's martyrdom, now everyone finally breathes a sigh of relief!" Speaking of which, Qingfeng's face was very natural, and he turned from relief to loneliness. “…… But after all, the times are still very difficult, and the imperial court is only barely maintaining basic decency. Not to mention that the royal driver hasn't gone out on patrol for a long time, even a tea party has become a luxury! ”

"Want to fight the autumn wind?" My heart fluttered. In all fairness, I don't mind the cost, because as a rule of thumb these hungry guys don't really have a big appetite. But I didn't dare to accept the money in front of me. I started the work of the ministers of the Kyoto court quite early, and I was basically in the stage of devotion, and I very much believe in the phrase of the "Godfather": to show friendship to "certain people" in advance! But because it is not yet time to ask for returns, I myself am not very clear about the connections of the imperial court. Who do these people represent, I don't want to stand on the opposite side of Oda Nobunaga without paying attention! You must know that although Yoshiaki Adachi has stepped down, he still has a lot of influence. "I have always admired all the honorables in the court! It's just that I feel that my identity is low, and I don't dare to ......" I deliberately left half a sentence, not making it clear what I didn't dare.

"His Royal Highness Yuzhou, who is worthy of being famous all over the world, is so respectful!" Qingfeng of the temple sighed and nodded, his expression was both emotion and regret. “…… Who in the court doesn't know the deeds of His Royal Highness's courtesy to the minister, so don't be so modest! The main reason why my brother Qingyou took the initiative to ask for an order to go to Isshiki Yidao last time was that he wanted to pay a visit to His Royal Highness, and what happened later...... What a pity! Even when I think about it now, I still regret it! ”

"That's His Royal Highness Qingyou's ...... of love" I only then figured out that he was the person of Prince Seihito, the crown prince, although I remember that this prince did not seem to become the emperor later, but he still had considerable influence. The main thing is that he has a moderate position and is very close to Oda Nobunaga. Masaki Machichi Jixiu is also a member of this family, but his position is closer to that of one of the prince's sons. "It's a pity that I didn't see Your Excellency Qingyou, if I have the opportunity, I will ask for advice in person! Thanks to all of you, as long as you don't think Danhou is deserted, you can sweep the bed at any time! ”

"We would like to thank Your Highness for this kindness!" Qingfeng of the Persuasion Temple nodded with satisfaction, and his eyes narrowed into two crescent moon buds.

"That's what I mean!" Tsutsui Shunqing was also excitedly helping on the side. "Based on my understanding of His Highness Zhuxing, you don't have to doubt his sincerity to the imperial court at all!"

"His Highness Tsutsui has praised it!" I nodded very reluctantly, and had to give him a "tiger skin" once. Now I can see clearly that he wants to use me to strengthen his own strength in front of the ministers.

"Haven't Your Highness the Stars found your place yet?" Qingfeng of the Persuasion Temple seemed to have just noticed the Xianzhi and Ying beside me, and asked very "surprised". "We've been so rude for so long!"

I also felt that there was no need to continue talking for the time being, so I hurriedly took my leave and walked up the hill. Now that I know that sometimes it doesn't feel so comfortable to be noticed, and looking at the crowd around me, I hope that no one notices me anymore.

"Lord Yuzhou, so idle!" I was afraid of something, and as soon as I turned around, I saw Matsunaga Show. There were three people around him, but one of them I knew was his son, Matsunaga Tsuchi.

"A junior like me is naturally not as respected as His Royal Highness Matsunaga Masada!" Be cautious about this poisonous snake at any time, he used to indirectly spread how my "ability" is extraordinary, and then I used those "three good secret documents" to knock him, and he was honest. I couldn't help but feel a little angry when I saw him, so I stabbed him between words.

It didn't take much intelligence to understand my obvious hints, and the faces of the two unknown people beside him changed color slightly.

I have to admit that when Matsunaga Xiu's cultivation arrived home, he not only looked calm but was slightly relieved. "His Highness Zhuxing is so humble, it really makes the old man feel ashamed. Although the old man is a few years older, no matter whether he is bold or knowledgeable, he really can't afford to be a 'senior' in front of His Highness the Stars! Here the old man once again pleaded, His Royal Highness Zhuxing can have fellowship with the old man's peers. Now that the old man is on the verge of death, I just hope that His Royal Highness can mention more about the puppies in the future! ”

How can my words be understood in this way?! Not only did I open my mouth, but Xianzhi and Ying on the side were also dumbfounded, probably because I didn't expect such a shameless person.

Matsunaga Xiu seemed to be still unsatisfied, turned his head and said to his son: "Don't look at the fact that His Highness Zhuxing is about the same age as you, but he has already guarded the two countries before he has time to stand, and you will not be able to beat horses in this life!" As a person, you must have the heart of wisdom and wisdom, and you must be respectful to His Highness Zhuxing! ”

"Father, you're right!" Matsunaga seems to have won the true inheritance of his father, and he nodded deeply and really bowed to me to the ground. "His Royal Highness Zhuxing is a hero in the world, and even if you look up at Jiutong, you can't see the back of your neck! Here is a sincere courtesy, and I hope you will not hesitate to bring one or two! ”

"You...... Say...... ......"I can't do anything at this time, I can't just pull the two of them by the collar like a scoundrel in the market, right?" Looking at the two entourages suddenly nodding their heads in realization, I could only smile bitterly.

"His Royal Highness Zhuxing is not only well-known in, but also has been a martial artist since he received Danhou and Danma! It's just that I don't have time for hard work and government affairs, and today is a rare opportunity, so I will introduce you to two of your admirers......" Matsunaga Shu said without waiting for me to make a statement, and pulled a short samurai by hand. "This is the city lord of Kuchigi Valley City in the west of the North Near River, His Royal Highness Kuchigi Mototsuna! His domain was connected to Tango and Wakasa, and was an important pass that secured the road from San'in to Kyoto. ”

"Oh, His Highness Rottenwood! Zhuxing Qing's family is not talented, and they will have to rely on it more in the future! I clenched my fist at Mototsuna and arched my hand. After all, this unattractive person is lying on my back door, and he still has to give some face.

"Where, where......" Mototsuna Kuchigi was not only short in stature, yellow in face, and thin, but also cautious and timid, and he was a little panicked when he heard my words. In Xiacheng, the small force is weak, there is no virtue and no talent, and it is completely dependent on you to achieve it, so it is in a corner! His Royal Highness Zhuxing is invincible in the vast army, and he has a heart of worship for a long time, but he has been ...... "I didn't have a chance to ......" because I was nervous, and second, because our territory was already next to each other, and he really couldn't think of a reason why he didn't "visit" me.

"His Royal Highness Rotten Wood is polite, I don't dare to say that the Qing clan is really sorry!" I comforted him very kindly, this person is really not very useful. I remember that he had always been a character who ran with the wind in history, and he wouldn't really fight for me once the enemy GIs were overwhelmed, and it wouldn't take much trouble for me to attack him. "In any case, His Highness and I are neighbors, and it is only right to watch and help! Once there is anything useful, please don't be polite! ”

"Thank you, thank you......" Mototsuna Kuchigi thanked him again and again.

"And this ......" Matsunaga Shu pulled another tall and thin person, this one is quite shrewd and capable. He is His Royal Highness Besshoji, the lord of Harima Miki Castle! ”

"Fortunately, Your Highness the Stars!" Although Bei Changzhi smiled cutely, a cold light flashed in his eyes from time to time, and there was a murderous aura faintly floating under his gentle appearance. "Although Shanyin and Shanyang are separated from each other, they have been connected with honor and disgrace since ancient times! It's just that over the years, there have been constant strife, and there has been no chance to recuperate. Since His Highness Zhuxing presided over San'in, this has made me wait for the people of the Western Kingdom not to fall into the world, and in view of this, I went to to seek the protection of the right general. It was also thanks to the introduction of His Royal Highness Masataka Matsunaga that he was fortunate to meet His Highness! ”

"His Royal Highness Bessho comes from a famous family, and he is a leader among the daimyo of the Western Kingdom!" I had a heart for this person. The Bessho clan was a branch of the Akamatsu clan, and later gradually rose to prominence by the decline of the main family, although the specific reason is not clear, but Bessho Nagaji also became famous through rebellion. "Banshu is located at the key point connecting the east and west, and it is a big country with more than 300,000 stones, and the western strategy of the right general is the first priority here! His Royal Highness Bessho has a very important position, and the future is immeasurable! Ha, ha, ha, ...... "This person is an important part of Harima, and the "monkey" should be there soon, so it seems that I shouldn't be completely out of it!

"Oh!" Don't Nagaji was stunned when he heard this "important information", and then his eyes shone brightly. "I don't want to be a long-term ruler and have the heart to serve the right general, but if I have a fate, I will never give up! Of course, I also sincerely admire His Royal Highness Zhuxing Yuzhou, once you take both Sanyin and Shanyang ......"

"In the future, the right general will decide, so we don't have to guess here!" I hurriedly interrupted him, and even if I said something casually, it was very likely to turn into a rumor, and it was a very bad rumor.

"Yes, you have a point!" Don't be a good manager and nod his head again and again, judging by the situation, he should see my blocking as a great "modesty". "It's just that there are many Harima factions, and the situation is complicated, if His Highness Zhuxing has any send, he must go all out in the future!"

"If there really is such a day, Your Highness the Stars will definitely not treat you badly! I can vouch for him at all......" Matsunaga said logically, without worrying about whether he was qualified to vouch for me.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Bear in Winter: After reading a recent book review, I found a phenomenon that many of the people who have a good opinion about the political feasibility of the transformation of Xianzhi and the second marriage of Ah Shi! The spur of the moment is nonsense, which has little to do with the plot of the book.

It turned out that Lao Xiong's own opinion was: Politics is a civilized game played by a group of hooligans, as long as there is a condition of shamelessness, it is enough! But since I wrote this book, I have continued to think about some issues with the characters I have brought in, and I have found that it is not so simple! There are strong bullies in politics, but it is definitely not as simple as just valuing power, otherwise a Niu Er in "Water Margin" can occupy a high position; There are intrigues and tricks in politics, but it is definitely not smooth sailing just by playing power tricks to achieve balance, otherwise Yan Xishan would not have been able to jump out of Shanxi for the rest of his life; Politics needs jumping ideas and poet romance, but people who are too idealistic can only run into walls everywhere, if you don't believe it, please take a look at the experience of Qu Qiubai, Bogu, and Tongshuo Confucian Chen Duxiu; Politics requires sensitivity and anticipation of the development of events; It is necessary to accurately grasp the strength and direction of external enemies, internal allies, subordinates and other related parties; Be proficient in all the laws of physics and chemistry in order to turn the largest "gear" with the least amount of effort; It takes Freudian observation to be able to guide the human mind to think according to its own desires, and to make the other person feel that he has made his own judgment; Need...... And I can't tell, so far I can only understand it. I think that wise politicians are pragmatist philosophers, and our country should award all cadres at or above the ministerial level the technical rank of academician of the Academy of Engineering in recognition of their outstanding contributions in the field of practical science! One of the major mistakes of this book is that Lao Xiong himself is a bit self-conscious in writing about such a subject when he is still only half-aware of political life! But with my IQ, I'm afraid I won't be able to understand it for the rest of my life!

Ha, ha, ha! Laugh three times, next Tuesday Lao Xiong is going to participate in the 8-day "Red Tour", I am really excited to not have to go to work for a while, I can't update this time and say sorry! I drank two bottles of white with my three buddies at dinner, don't be surprised by the nonsense!
