"It's so lively!" Looking at the "noble" people in front of me, I seemed to have a trace of unrealistic hallucinations. The brutal killings, the despicable betrayals, and the sadness of the displacement of the displaced, all seem so far away at this moment, and those who don't know will never think that the troubled times are still not over.

Oda Nobunaga's tea party was held as scheduled, and the scale of this time was unmatched by previous ones! I took a cursory look at the daimyo of, the important ministers of the Oda family, the famous ministers of the imperial court, and their families, and there were at least 2,000 guests in attendance.

It is worth noting that there are many "monks" of the famous temple and the temple attended, and began to talk about tea with the Oda family, it seems that "there is no eternal enemy, only eternal interests!" That's a good statement! Of course, no one from the Ichijo sect came, and Ishiyama Honganji Temple was still under siege. One phenomenon that is very noteworthy is that I saw several blonde characters in the crowd. I don't know what Oda Nobunaga's purpose was, but now he not only directly governs Ishiyama and Sakai towns, but also actively opens up the interior to foreigners, and it seems that he has some new ideas for new things.

Facing the bustling crowd, my eyes gradually glazed. From the top of the slope to the foot of the slope, hundreds of carpeted "stalls" are lined up, and some refreshments are placed on a small table in the center. Some of these "stalls" are already occupied, others are still empty, but ...... Where is my location?

"Isn't it...... Too chaotic to manage? "Because of the status of the side room, Yingying usually can't participate in such occasions, but this time Oda Nobunaga relaxed the system in order to create a grand atmosphere. How could she be so chaotic when she wanted to come to such a high-level gathering?

"Perhaps...... Not arranged, right? "To be honest, this is the first time I've been here for this kind of scene, and the scale I have participated in before is not very large, and I missed the several large tea parties held by Oda Nobunaga.

"Actually, it's not completely chaotic, and there are still traces to follow if you look closely!" Xianzhi, who had been smiling and silent, suddenly said.

"What do you say?" Ying and I looked at Xianzhi in surprise, and I had the impression that she was also attending a tea party for the first time.

"In fact, the period before this kind of tea party is held, it is also the time when people from all sides come into contact with each other!" Xianzhi led us to look at the crowd all over the mountains with his gaze. “…… In normal times, excessive interaction between two people is very likely to arouse suspicion from others, especially those who belong to two groups that do not have a normal relationship. If the two don't know each other, rashly visiting each other is not only rude, but also may attract the other party's vigilance! Now the situation is different, and it is convenient to say hello and familiarize yourself with it, and it is also convenient for further development......"

"I see, this is a place to go out and make friends!" I nodded suddenly, and when I looked closely, I did see that some people I knew were talking to people of interest, such as some moderates in Buddhism who were in contact with the important ministers of the Oda family. This is a good idea, and many deals are not necessarily suitable for display on the table, and it is said that in the corridors and lounges of the halls of the US Capitol Hill, there is a perennial active "extra-hospital group" of lawyers, outgoing legislators, retired generals, and so on, but ...... Xianzhi, who doesn't often attend such events, how did he suddenly find out?

"It's all in the books!" Sensing my puzzled gaze, Xianzhi smiled. "This kind of thing is not a day or two, as early as the Nara and Heian periods, the royal family and the Fujiwara clan had this habit! It is recorded in "The Tale of Genji" and other books that describe the events of the time, as well as in some books on waka and tea ceremony, but it is not very straightforward! ”

"Oh......" Listening to these words, a question suddenly came to my mind, it seems that Xianzhi is really very politically talented! In fact, at the same time, I also know very well that Xianzhi was not interested in these things in the first place, and the reason for this result was actually out of concern for me. I have never hidden anything from her, including all kinds of "troubles" that people can't use, which makes her gradually unconsciously put herself in my position to think about problems, and silently share worries for me. On the other hand, I am so bad! seems to be mixed up, but in fact, it can only be regarded as a "chick" in politics. I gritted my teeth secretly, I must use my shoulders to support this world!

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that I didn't speak for a long time, the warbler pulled me aside.

"Nothing!" I didn't want to disturb their interest, so I casually changed the subject. “…… According to Xianzhi's meaning, these people are all people who are useful to themselves! So to speak...... Your Highness, isn't it very useless? ”

"Why is that?" The warbler looked at me in amazement with big eyes, and in her eyes I had always been omnipotent.

"Look!" I drew a semicircle in the air with my fingers. "There are so many people here, it can be said that all aspects of, cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods have come, but no one has come to talk to me for a long time! It can be seen that I am worthless in their eyes, isn't that very useless? ”

"You really are!" My words made the warbler laugh, but immediately felt a little indecent, and hurriedly raised his sleeve to block the cherry mouth.

"Isn't this His Highness Zhuxing Yuzhou?" As he was talking, someone was really greeting not far away, but when I looked at it again, it was Tsutsui Shunqing who accompanied a few people and walked towards us, and it seemed that there was still some value in the next place.

"Your Highness Tsutsui, forgive me for being clumsy!" I didn't have a very good impression of him, and I wanted to walk away after a perfunctory sentence.

"If it's really Your Highness, I thought I was wrong!" Tsutsui Shunkei, who was not very familiar with me, put on an old friend posture at this moment, and stepped forward to hold my hand with a smile. "In the past few days, I have been traveling with General You, although I have been in one place, but there is less opportunity to talk in detail, which is a pity!" Listening to his tone, it was as if the two of us used to "talk in detail" often.

"Where, where......" I lifted my arm as if patting his arm, and broke free of his hand without a trace. His Royal Highness's fame in the world is not comparable to a newcomer like me, but I want to climb high, but I am just consciously presumptuous! ”

"His Royal Highness Yuzhou is so humorous! Let me introduce you to these ......," he said, turning sideways and showing me to the others behind him.

"Alas!" I let out a long sigh in my heart, it seemed that he was not ready to let me go. The so-called "reach out and don't hit the smiling person", I had to squeeze out a smile to meet it.

These are three ministers wearing court clothes and liwu, and their expressions and demeanors are also a standard "elegant" style, but it seems that their identities are only at the mid-range level. The first one was dressed in white and had the corners of his eyes raised, plus a face covered with ****, and he got rid of a "hanged ghost"; the second is relaxed, but he seems to be older than his actual age, and his back is already a little hunched; The third was a young man, probably not yet 20 years old, who seemed to be curious about everything.

"This is His Excellency Yanshan Keyanji...... "Tsutsui Shunkei pointed to the "hanged ghost" and introduced it to me, I didn't expect that this was the author of the famous "Yan Jiqing Jiji". "This is His Excellency Qingfeng of the Zhongnayan Persuasion Temple; And this is His Excellency Takasu Washio, who is Nakayan! These three are all world-famous university scholars, and they can be described as full of wealth! ”

"Long admiration!" The three people on the other side of me bowed and saluted each other as a sign of respect. These three were not active among the ministers in Kyoto, but they did have some "ink" in their stomachs. Even the youngest Washio Takayasu should have started writing his travelogue at this moment.

"It turns out that you are His Royal Highness Zhuxing Yuzhou, I have admired your name for a long time!" Maybe it's because he's younger, Washio Takayasu directly said what he thought in his heart. “…… Although I know that this is very rude, I still hope to be lucky enough to see your territory! Although the land of San'in has been remote since ancient times, it has been unprecedented since His Royal Highness took charge of Tango and Tajima Ryogoku. Many people who have returned from there are talking about it, and they all say that it has become a rare pure land in today's troubled times. Many novelties were created, even the Nanban culture, and they were displayed in the hands of His Highness! I was very eager to be able to ......."

"Confucian classics are the right way to govern the world! Lord Washio, you've lost your word! Yamashina Yan followed the "white face", which made people look more like a "hanged ghost" at a glance. "The sage said that 'the son is silent, strange and chaotic', and only by educating the people to be good and do benevolence and righteousness is the only way to set things right! Whether the rest is violent or opportunistic, it is just a vain thing, how can it last long! Your Highness Yuzhou, what do you think? ”

"What His Excellency Yamashina said is the wise saying of the world...... "I saw Washio Takayasu bowing his head and pouting secretly, and I think I was very dissatisfied with the pedantry of this old master, in fact, I myself often do not do so." However, after all, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, and it is always bad to hold on to the inadequacy! You're right? ”

"If the imperial court wants to revive the world, it is naturally eclectic to talents!" At this time, Qingfeng suddenly spoke, just blocking Yamashina Yanji's arguments. "It's normal to have slightly different views on statecraft, but it's terrible to have all the words of the people, because that can only mean that the court has fallen into the hands of the cronies! You can be open and honest about these issues, but this occasion doesn't seem appropriate. ”

"Your Excellency Persuasion Temple said it well!" I nodded heartily. Not as old-fashioned as Yamashina, and not as naïve as Eagle Tail, this persuasion temple Qingfeng is a very sober person. It seems that it was no accident that Shunkei Tsutsui introduced a few of them to me, and there must be something else hidden in them. "I have benefited a lot from my knowledge, and I hope I will have the opportunity to get your correction!" I said softly. In the past, although I was often stationed in Kyoto, I didn't know a few people in the court in order to avoid suspicion and limited to my identity. Which part of the people in front of you belong to?

"His Royal Highness Yuzhou doesn't have to be too humble! I have heard His Excellency Masahimachi speak of His Royal Highness several times...... "Harutoyo of the temple said very casually.

"Oh......" I kind of touched the door.
