119. A warm invitation

"I'll be fine if you're okay, even if you deal with those people, it's after you get Yuchai!" Ji Xiu shrugged helplessly, although he didn't care much about his safety, he was disappointed that he couldn't convince me. "Since that's the case, there's nothing I can do, I'll go back to Beijing and wait for you!"

"Then I won't keep you either, go back and tell Your Excellency Konoe that I don't mind!" I went back to normalcy, I said to him.

"I don't know if they believe it or not, but I'm afraid the result will be just as bad!" He continued to shake his head and sigh.

"It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, maybe I'll go in ten days, and I'll explain it to him in person when the time comes!" I was already thinking about what "gifts" to give.

"So fast! Are you ready? Although he already felt something, his words still surprised him.

"What's wrong with you, didn't you say that Xiuqing's marriage will be held next month?" I can't help but be sensitive to him. "Besides, many things are not transferred by my will, I think His Royal Highness Yuchai will soon send someone to invite me into Beijing!"

"Would you like to come to Beijing? Is this possible! "Shokincho Jixiu is not confused, and can even be said to be quite shrewd, so he is skeptical of my statement." Although a group of people led by Nijo Harura have been working to reconcile the relationship between you and Yushiba, but according to me, he is not a generous person...... "Speaking of this, he glanced at me, meaning that I am not.

I smiled and didn't take the stubble.

"No matter how I look at it, he can't tolerate you entering Beijing, let alone take the initiative to invite you!" He saw that I didn't want to rehash the topic I had just talked about, so I had to talk about it myself. "Seriously, I think that although the imperial court hopes that you will live in harmony and has been making unremitting efforts to achieve this, I am afraid it is difficult to imagine that such a 'good thing' will really happen!"

"You underestimated both His Excellency Konoe's 'face' and His Royal Highness Yuchai's 'belly', this is really a sad thing!" I reached over and patted him on the shoulder with relief, and said half-jokingly: "If you don't believe us, let's make a bet, the messenger of His Highness Yuchai will come to invite me in less than a month!" ”

"Oh...... Forget it! After thinking about it again, he finally shook his head, and said with regret: "Although this opportunity is rare, my capital is too far behind yours, and I can't afford to lose too much!" ”

I didn't force it, it seems that his "senses" are really sharp enough. "By the way, your fourth son is also an adult, right?" I was inspired again.

"You're too careless, you're twenty-four this year!" Ji Xiu smiled and was in a slightly better mood. "You saw him during the Chinese New Year, and it was you who brought him here, but it's no wonder you don't remember, this kid really doesn't have any strengths. Except for the size and appearance that are reasonable, it is really useless, as if it is so big that it can't say anything but 'yes'. Sometimes I get angry when I look at him like this, do you think I'm like this? ”

"That's right, it doesn't seem like yours anymore among your sons!" I think it's a little funny, I don't know if it's because Masahimachi Jixiu is too "colorful". "But I don't agree with you, the rise and fall are determined by heaven, and he may not be as unbearable as you say. I also know some face reading techniques, dare to say that his future future will definitely surpass you, you can have fun if you have nothing to do! ”

"Come on! You can't even remember how old he is, can you still remember his appearance? After a while, he immediately said with a straight face: "Is this true, why can't I see it at all?" ”

"Why don't we gamble again?" I followed him again.

********************************************

Masaki went back early the next morning and took a large number of my things as usual. I did this to give him some comfort that he was at least not as open-minded as he might seem.

Compared with most ministers who only use the reputation of the court to solicit and accept bribes, Ji Xiu still has a sense of responsibility to some extent, and he also has a heartfelt feeling for the entire "parasitic group". However, the reality is cruel, and the small power of individuals cannot change society, even if I am not able to do it today, I just follow the trend!

My hunch was not wrong, or the information was not wrong, and it was less than half a month before Hidecho Hashiba came to Sakai Town. His purpose was very clear, and on behalf of Hideyoshi Hashiba, he invited me to Kyoto to temporarily preside over the government affairs in place of Hideyoshi Hashiba.

"It's not good!" I frowned deeply, coughed twice from time to time, and my body was full of the fatigue of a sick person. "His Highness Hashiba's measures over the past few days have paid off, and the uneasy atmosphere in the area is gradually calming down. Now is the time to continue to consolidate, how can His Highness Yuchai give up halfway? ”

"Brother asked me to tell His Highness Zhuxing, he and you, you and him, were originally one and two, two and one!" Yuchai Xiuchang bowed again, it was hard to imagine how he, who came from a humble background, could develop such a pure minister's style.

Hidenaga Hashiba has a very good temper and personality, and he was generally recognized by everyone when he was in Owari, and although there are various differences in the perception of "monkey", it basically did not affect him. Later, he has been doing his best to assist the "monkey", and has made many achievements in various places, and is regarded as a character whose character can be comparable to that of the source of Yoshijing.

“…… For the sake of the Oda family, please don't shirk! He spoke without any sympathy for the state of mind of my "patient". "The death of the right general shook the Oda family very much, and some people began to move, that is, some people within the Oda family began to lose confidence. In this case, a major action is used to prove that the strength of the Oda family is imminent, and only in this way can the Oda family be revived. My brother has repeatedly stressed that this can only be done if he joins forces with you, and this must also be ......"

"First of all, tell me clearly, what does His Royal Highness Yuchai want to do?" I finally found an opportunity to interject and interrupt him, a little nervous about the information he was relieving.

"Oh, didn't I just say that? Look at my memory, I really forgot to mention it! He patted his head and explained with self-reproach, "Preparations have begun for the war against the Tokugawa, Hojo, and Uesugi alliances in the eastern country, and my brother urgently needs your ......"

"What is he going to do?! Cough, cough, cough, cough ...... "I was shocked" and then caused a violent cough, although I covered my mouth with a handkerchief in time, I still made a coughing sound like tearing my lungs.

Several people outside heard this voice and came in, and the attendant brought a cup of medicinal tea, and the doctor checked my pulse.

"Your Highness, you ...... Are you alright? Hashiba Hidecho was taken aback by this battle and looked a little at a loss.

"I'm sick, and my lungs are a little cold at the beach all year round!" Gradually, I stopped coughing and waved my hand to send the unrelated people away, and said to him in a serious tone: "The Oda family has experienced great chaos one after another, and the key now is to recuperate. For such a major matter as the use of troops in the eastern country, we must not be in a hurry. I have always suspected the death of the right general, and it has something to do with his aggressive strategy! ”

"That's why we can't bear it any longer!" Hidecho Hashiba suddenly raised his voice, and a flush of excitement appeared on his face. "General Right will be killed, Azuchi Castle will be burned, and if we don't fight back, everyone in the world will think that our Oda family is weak and can be bullied. Not to mention the strong feudal clans of the eastern country, even those wealthy families who used to belong to the Oda family will also have different hearts! My brother said: Even if he is the only one left, he will go to the east country to take revenge! ”

"This ...... Isn't there no evidence? "My words are clearly a little under-substantiated.

"Your Highness the Stars, you are truly a sincere gentleman! How can such a trick leave too obvious evidence? He shook his head and sighed. The enemies of the Eastern Kingdom are insidious and cunning, and the two Highnesses Wise and Right General are a lesson from the past, and the only way to deal with them is to strike first. Please ask Your Highness the Stars to help in this matter, otherwise we will have to act alone! ”

"This thing...... I also want to have a good talk with His Highness Yuchai! After a long time, I finally spoke.

"I'm afraid it won't work in the near future, my brother has returned to Himeji to mobilize people!" Hashiba Hidecho said frankly, "Because I am afraid that Your Highness Zhuxing will stop me, my brother will return to Harima via Settsu. Everything in Kyoto can only be completely entrusted to His Highness Zhuxing, and please include the rudeness! ”

"His Royal Highness Hashiba just abandoned Kyoto like this? Isn't that what a strong man does! I tapped my fingers on my temples and complained with a headache: "Kyoto is the foundation of the country, and it took a lot of effort for the former Emperor Nobunaga to control it, and His Royal Highness Hashiba is really too willful!" ”

"So everything is only for Your Highness the Stars!" Hashiba Hidecho bent down deeply.

"So who's on the board of directors in Kyoto now?" I asked reluctantly.

"It's His Royal Highness Ando, but it's only a temporary agent!" After saying that, Hashiba Hidecho himself sighed. "There is nothing wrong with His Highness Ando's personality, but it is really difficult for him to take on such a big responsibility. In order to deter the stability of the world, please also ask His Highness Zhuxing to enter Beijing as soon as possible! ”

"That'...... All right! I finally reluctantly agreed, but immediately added: "I am only temporarily acting for His Royal Highness Hashiba to manage Kyoto, and I ask him to come and discuss with me as soon as possible on other issues. ”

"My brother also has some plans for this matter, but the envelope and His Royal Highness Changyi have resigned!" Hidecho Hashiba immediately showed his scheming, and his words did not flicker at all.

"Then let's discuss everything!" I can only say helplessly.

"Please!"

After Hidecho Hashiba left, I immediately found the fairy carp pill. "The day after tomorrow, I will leave for Beijing with your mother, and you and Atsuru will return to Shikoku, and there will be no one left here in Sakai Town!" I didn't wait for him to speak.
