After lunch, the conversation began, and I stood on three floors and watched as people walked into the lobby on the first floor. There are more than 60 people who have come, but this is still not all the relevant stakeholders, and even if they can be called the first face, there are still a few left. I believe that most of them are nervous and helpless, and this is the inevitable consequence of the unequal relationship in the relationship.

"Lord, everyone has arrived!" After a while, Goto Matabei came up behind me and reminded.

"Then go down, and don't make people wait for a long time!" I turned around and stood up from the window, dusted off the court clothes that I had already prepared to stop, and went out to the downstairs. "What do you think of these people in the hall?" I asked in the hallway.

"A lot of people must have been terrified at this time!" Goto Matsubei chuckled softly behind me, years of getting along with him had made him less inhibited. "Most of these people don't have any skills, not only are they not good samurai, but they can't even do anything else. Most of the old clans like this just want to keep a life without worrying about food and clothing, and they don't care so much about whether they are still the city lord in the land of their ancestors. In fact, it is indeed the greatest benefit for them that the lord will manage them, and the day they yearn for is not far off! ”

"If I rely on these people to fight, it won't be far from the fate of Ashikaga Yoshiaki!" We talked and laughed and came to the entrance door in the middle of the hall. "Hmm...... Cough! I coughed again, as I was used to.

"Meet His Highness the Stars Yuzhou!" Most of the people in the room bowed down and waited for me to take their seats, with the exception of three. The identity of the Gamo clan is special, and he is only half of his body; The head of the sect nodded with half-closed eyes, which was a meaning; Kono Tongzhi originally wanted to give a big gift, but looking at the attitude of the head relatives of the Changzong on the other side, he didn't lie down, and finally put on a very strange posture.

"You don't have to care, you can only talk when you sit down!" I smiled and told everyone to be polite, but I had already seen everyone's performance. I've basically figured out what most people are thinking, but now it's just a comparison. "I've been called here about the Iyo reconciliation, but I'm just based on hearsay. I want to hear your opinions on everything first, and then I'll talk about my thoughts. As for any opinions on the results in the future, everyone can still tell them bluntly. Even if it is the Imperial Court or His Royal Highness the Inner Palace, what I say may not be the standard! With that, my eyes began to wander around the house.

Silence fell into the room, except for the sound of breathing of various frequencies. No doubt everyone in the room has their own minds, but the first one to say it would seem a little silly, and the people around you who are hostile to it may be ready to catch loopholes in the language at any time, so you have to be careful.

"The old man is Qingliang, if there is something unclear, please give advice to His Royal Highness the state!" An old man with a gray beard sitting in a rather backward position finally couldn't hold his breath, and asked after hesitation.

"I don't dare to give advice, I don't know what the boss has to say!" When he greeted me outside the city gate in the morning, I had an impression of him, and I had a very good impression of the old man. Among the "Fifteen Generals of Saionji", the collapsed Nanyu samurai group, he is a leading figure, and he also supports me quite a lot.

"The old man was born in the army and is rude by nature, if there is any faux pas, please don't be surprised by Your Highness!" Kiyora Doi was not polite either, and said straight to the point: "There may be a thousand reasons why everyone gathers here today, but in the final analysis, it is for one thing, and that is how the territory in Iyo will be distributed in the future!" His Royal Highness Yuzhou asked humbly, but the old man still wanted to know what the basic principle was on this point? ”

"The old man is straightforward, and I am deeply admired in the bottom!" I nodded and then deliberately sank for a moment, waiting until everyone was nervous enough before saying: "This question is indeed the key, and I am just mentioning a plan here: that is, the wealthy clans below ten thousand stones are subject to the area they actually control now, and they are not prepared to make any major changes except for those who have really made great achievements and are extremely criminal; Those large families who have served in the past need to be treated differently, because they are inescapable of the situation in Iyo and Shikoku today! "My last sentence was a little more pronounced, but most of them were relieved, only Kono Tsunao and Chosamune Ibu Genqin were visibly a little tense." Of course! After all, the past is in the past, and we should pay more attention to the present and the future. The disposition of some matters must be reported to the Imperial Court and His Royal Highness, and it is ultimately up to them to decide. But please believe that no matter what you have done in the past, as long as you are loyal to the court in the future, you will receive the grace of the court! ”

There was silence in the room again, and everyone began to make new calculations. What I said is quite clear, the little hao clan that has survived so far will not have a major event, the key is the way out of the Changzong and my department's Yuan Qin and Kono Tongzhi. In fact, Kono Tongnao's future is also very clear, and the guardian is not done, but as long as he doesn't blow up the thorns, he will have a bite to eat, and I don't care about them, Oda Nobunaga doesn't think it's too difficult for him.

What will happen to the relatives of our sect of Changzong? I'm afraid this is the biggest suspense. He wants to be Iyo's guardian, and I'm afraid that even the rabbits of Shikoku will know about it, but can he really get his wish? That's not easy to say. Who else could he be? This is really something to think about and think about. If you don't see the wrong bet at all, you're all done. So this time, although the little wealthy families will not be touched on their current interests, they are equally concerned.

"What? No one has any opinions! I smiled with a mustache twisting my upper lip, and then said half-truthfully, "If you really don't have anything to say, then I'll decide what I think." Once it is reported to the Imperial Court and His Royal Highness the Inner Palace, it has become a fait accompli, so don't regret it! ”

My words caused a small commotion, after all, no one wants to face failure without effort.

"If I could, then I'd like to say two words first!" After a few eye exchanges, the younger brother of Changzong Yuanqin, Xiangzong Yuanqin, opened his mouth, and he was the first middle-aged man to speak on the road that day.

"Since the Lord of the Xiangzong Sect is in charge, we are naturally listening!" I smiled and made a "please" gesture to him.

"His Royal Highness Yuzhou praised falsely, just throwing bricks and attracting jade!" He only said politely, and his face immediately straightened, not at all like the amiable attitude on the road that day. "The root cause of the century-old chaos in the world is the weakness of the imperial court, and the root of the weakness of the imperial court is the unclear rewards and punishments. Today, the rebellion in Shikoku is especially serious in the world, and the culprit must be investigated! My family is loyal to the imperial court and has done my best for the stability of Shikoku for many years. But there are especially those who steal the crown and the young people who have ill intentions and collude with the Western country to oppose the party and think that it is chaotic. If this generation is not punished, how can the hearts of the people of the four countries be ......"

"Pro-Tai, don't be so presumptuous in front of His Royal Highness Yuzhou!" The head of the Changzong and my department reprimanded at the right time.

I didn't answer directly, but took a sip from my teacup. As for Kono Tonao, his face has changed to the color of pork liver.

It seems that the words of Xiangzong's pro-Tai are going to put the Kono family to death, but the implicit content is to ask Iyo to protect this position for his eldest brother. Since "sins" must be punished, shouldn't "merit" be rewarded? What is more worthy of analysis is that the sentence rebuked by the head of the sect of Changzong is "presumptuous" rather than "nonsense", which shows that he also supports this argument.

"Your Highness Kono, don't you want to say a word?" I'm quite a democratic, and I have to listen to both the pros and cons.

"The generous speech of Lord Xiangzong is really touching, and I am really taught!" After all, Kono is also a cunning guy, although he is not very good at fighting, he still has a set of politics, and he stabilized his mood after a little groaning. "The Kono family does have an unshirkable responsibility for the Iyo Turmoil, and although it is guarded, it is repeatedly unable to maintain it, so that the surrounding pretenders have an opportunity to take advantage of it. Although His Royal Highness Yuzhou is benevolent and generous, I can't avoid it myself. In the meantime, I will definitely go to Kyoto to ask the Imperial Court and His Royal Highness the Inner Government for guilt! He also said these words quite forcefully, not only pointing out that Chozong and my department were coveting Iyo with other intentions, but also pointing out that they were not qualified to accuse their country warriors.

"Your Highness Changzong, what did you say?" I turned my head back again.

"I do have a full stomach to speak, but I can't talk about it for a while!" Changzong lowered his eyelids and said slowly, it seems that he is ready to "showdown" in front of me. Once he said this, it would represent the final statement of one party's forces, and then there would be no room for reversal.

"Since His Royal Highness Changzong and my ministry haven't thought about it yet, let's not talk about it yet, anyway, we still have a long time!" To everyone's surprise, I suddenly came up with such a sentence, and immediately sealed the mouth of the head of the sect of Changzong, and stood up and stretched, and then said with a big prick at it: "I thought that after such a long time, you should have a mature belly case, and I don't want to not only have a big difference with each other, but also I haven't completely thought about it. In that case, we might as well let it go, I'm tired today, let's continue to talk tomorrow! What do you think, Your Highness Changzong? ”

“…… All right! Changzong and my Yuan Qinmu stared at me blankly for a long time and finally nodded, at this moment he couldn't say, "I didn't mean that."

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

"Your Highness is tired!" When I returned to the bedroom, Ying and Xue hurriedly came up and asked, and changed into a more comfortable inner room robe for me. In fact, the meeting lasted less than half an hour, and there was no tiredness at all.

"It's okay, are all the people coming?" I sat down and asked.

"It's all here, and it's getting something ready to be applied!"

"That's good, I'm going to get some sleep first!" With that, I lay down. "I'm going to have a late dinner today, and I'm going to have a table on the top floor in the room with a view on all sides. Invite only one guest, and you'll all shy away! ”
