96, story (II)
“…… In April of the first year of Bunji (1185), His Royal Highness the Judge Yoshitsune deported Minister Somori and others to Kamakura. At this time, Lai Chaogong was already suspicious of him, whether it was because of Kajiwara Jingshi's slander or simply doubting His Royal Highness's ability, it is impossible to test today......" Xianzhi no longer had the excitement he had just now, but his tone was still full of regret, which may have something to do with his bloodline. "In order to show his 'benevolence' and righteousness, in order to show his 'benevolence', Yoritoshi met with Minister Somori in front of the daimyo of various countries and said some sympathetic words. And for His Royal Highness Yijing, who laid the foundation for his birth and death, he didn't even see him, he just sent someone to send a message back to Kyoto! That's it, His Royal Highness Yoshitsune and Minister Somori Minister, father and son, embarked on their way home......"
I'm even more confused now, could it be that Xianzhi just wants to talk about the tragic end of Genyi Sutra and Heping Zongsheng? But what does this have to do with me, could it be that Xianzhi also likes those sad and sad things, I didn't find this tendency in the past! I hate boring soap operas like "Huanzhu Gege", maybe God has mercy on me to hide in this era! I didn't expect to be made up by Xianzhi today, but fortunately, there has been no tragic heroine yet.
"Along the way, I walked station after stop, country after country, and there was never an order from the father and son of the Minister of Internal Affairs! As time passed, a hope grew in the Minister of the Interior, 'Maybe we can live!' He had such a fluke in his mind! Xianzhi's tone changed to coaxing a child again, but it was much more comfortable than Qiong Yao's tone. …… In fact, he is completely whimsical, how can he have the slightest mercy for the people of Lai Chaogong! Finally, at the Shinohara Station in Omi Province, which is close to Kyoto, His Royal Highness Yoshitsune received an order to behead the father and son of the Minister of the Inner Estate, and it was the Tachibana Princess, who had rebelled from the Heike family to Genji, who was sent to carry out this mission......"
I think this story is almost over, probably because I haven't figured out what it means yet. It may be a bit unpleasant to ask Xianzhi in person now, but let's talk about it when we have a chance in the future! Anyway, I can't help my difficulties now, so it's better to accompany my wife and children in a down-to-earth manner, and I calculated what to tell the kitchen to cook for dinner.
"His Royal Highness Yoshitsune is actually sympathetic to Minister Zongsheng in his heart! The Minister of the Interior is actually a literati who is fond of mountains and rivers, if it weren't for the sudden death of his brother, he would not have asked him to pick up the burden of the clan chief! Knowing that he was going to leave this world early tomorrow morning, His Royal Highness Yijing prepared a table of water and wine for him. It was a very secluded little courtyard, and the only people who were accompanied by Ise Saburo Yoshimori and Benkei Gong ......"
"Oh!" I was slightly stunned. This is the first time that Xianzhi mentions his ancestors in this story, could it be that there are some other variables in this story? It's really thought-provoking!
"'Is it Kamakura's order?' At this time, the Minister of the Interior had to face his fate. His Royal Highness nodded wordlessly, he really had nothing to say about this question. Since it is irreparable, there is no need for sorrow! By the time he said this, the Minister of the Interior had lost the nervousness of the previous days. Your Excellency has become free! His Highness poured him a glass of wine, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief that he could see it. ”
"'Your Highness is saying that why am I suddenly not afraid of death?' The Minister of the Interior smiled, then sighed. Actually, I'm still afraid of death! Speaking of which, I have enjoyed the ultimate wealth in the spring and autumn of the past 39 years, and I have no regrets when I am honored as a relative of the royal family and promoted to the position of minister! But does it really make that sense? The world's pursuit of earthly glory is like a grass insect looking for morning dew, and then it is only a dream. Although I can't choose to be a samurai, there is one sentence that I have always held in my heart: the war of achievement is actually not much better than the battle of crickets! These words silenced His Highness for a long time. ”
"'Maybe I can understand the value of your existence, but I still can't agree with it!' After a long time, His Highness Yoshitsune said, 'If you can't establish a meritorious service that will go down through the ages, then what's the point of a person coming to this world? The eldest husband was born between heaven and earth, what should he leave for future generations, otherwise what is the difference between him and ants? ’”
"'Is there anything wrong with ants?' At least they don't kill their own kind for no reason! His Royal Highness's impassioned words did not impress the Minister in the slightest, and he just picked up another glass of wine. I don't want to argue with you about that! The reason why I am afraid of death and why I am nostalgic for this life is because I still have many wonderful things in this world that I have not experienced, and there are still too many things worth remembering! I'm probably too greedy to get so much and not satisfied, at least I'm much luckier than you......"
His Royal Highness was very dissatisfied and asked, 'What is it that makes you have such an opinion?' At least Genji won the final victory today! All the hardships and hardships did not crush us, but the Heike became the enemy of the ......''You say yes!'' At least I don't attach much importance to the fact that I am an enemy of the DPRK,......' the Minister of the Interior did not want to argue with him, but explained with a smile: 'When the Heike family was victorious, Lord Lingzun became an enemy of the DPRK; Now that Genji has won, we are enemies again. With the current weak attitude of the imperial court, it is not surprising that there is such a practice, and there is nothing to blame! When I say lucky, I mean something else entirely! Xianzhi paused here and looked at me with meaningful eyes.
"That'...... And then? "There is no book on this history, and I can't help but wonder if this is just Xianzhi's fabrication! Can she make it up?
"'Genji won, there's no doubt about that! And according to the current situation, it seems that the Heijia family has no chance to turn the tables again! This may be the luck of a family, but is it necessarily lucky for the members of this family? The Minister shook his head, and shook his head firmly at His Highness Yoshitsune. 'I was an alternative, a weak other, and I still think that it was a wrong decision for me to be the leader of the Ping clan, and my personality is very different from my father, brother, and brothers! But I have not been ostracized, and no one in our family has been ostracized, even when I was most confused, I received unanimous support! After we lost power, there were certainly a large number of people who saw the wind and made the rudder leave, and even there were people like the Hojo clan and the Chiba clan in the branch, but each of our Taira clan's own family members was worthy of their surnames in the Battle of Tanura! But what about Genji? How many cases of fathers and sons and brothers have killed each other for more than 100 years? His Highness opened his mouth to answer the Minister's question, but in the end he didn't say anything. ”
"'Don't talk about the past, it's not interesting!' Although His Highness Yoshitsune has nothing to say, the Minister of the Interior does not seem to want to stop there. 'Now that His Royal Highness is fighting to destroy the Ping clan's Gong and shaking the world, it is time to make some preparations for his own future! Although His Royal Highness will certainly not make those drastic moves, it would be a pity not to leave a single bloodline......''What do you mean by that?'' His Highness raised his voice angrily. ”
"'I've made it clear, and if you haven't!' The Minister of the Interior looked at the young His Highness Yoshitsune, his eyes full of regret. Now that His Royal Highness Mikawa Shou Van Lai has been stripped of his military power and placed under house arrest, and His Royal Highnesses are also under suspicion, His Highness Yoshitsune asks himself if he can be spared? It seems that Kamakura Gong doesn't want the evil source to be too pretty...... "Your Excellency the Minister of the Interior is too much!" His Highness interrupted him angrily. 'Kamakura is my brother and my lord!' I am worthy of heaven and earth in my righteousness, and I will not do any unrighteous deeds in the future. No matter what, I'm not going to be sorry for Kamakura! His Highness's words were more tragic than righteous indignation, but he was already aware of his situation. ”
"'Then what is Your Highness going to do?' Is it easy to get caught? The Minister of the Interior seemed to be very interested in this question, and continued to ask questions. 'I'm going to Kyushu or Tohoku, and it's never possible for me to meet Kamakura Gongbing!' His Royal Highness said firmly. Ah Zhong, what would happen if you were in such a position? ”
"Oh......" I didn't expect the story to turn to me all of a sudden, and I couldn't help but be a little stunned. Xianzhi, I kind of understand what you mean, although I don't have such a brother, but if the lord repeatedly forces me, I won't be restrained! ”
"That's what you hear 'meant'?" Xianzhi asked me again, and there was a bit of anger in her tone.
"And? And ......" I scratched my head for a moment. It stands to reason that I'm usually very smart, but lately I've been thinking too much and my brain is a little wooden. Seeing Xianzhi's regretful expression, I suddenly felt a little enlightened. "Xianzhi!" I moved my head closer to her lower abdomen and pulled one of her hands over her chest. "Thank you, I've been a little lost lately! Some things aren't really that important, and I should think more about what is most precious to me. You can rest assured that I will not ignore you anymore, nor will I give up on myself, power is only a means, and the end should not be despised for this! ”
"You said it yourself, I didn't force you!" Xianzhi winked at me mischievously.
"You!" I scratched her nose and sat up. "Let's go, let's go see the kids!"
"Don't be in such a hurry! I'm not done yet! She grabbed me again.
"And? Then you go ahead! "I'm a little curious, why haven't I finished talking yet.
"His Royal Highness said this, and the Minister sighed. I admire you so much that I have nothing more to say! One thing that might help you is that when Emperor Taira left for the western country, he brought with him a large amount of gold and treasures from the inner house! After leaving Beijing, he was hindered and had difficulty moving, so when he passed through Tamba, he hid everything except the Three Treasures of Gozen in a valley......'"

Bear in Winter: I recently watched The Count of Monte Cristo again, and the story of the characters in it is really fascinating, so I'm going to try it myself. I don't want to write it myself, so I finally finished this paragraph today! It seems that my skills are still far behind those masters, so I can only continue to study and practice seriously.
