"This ......" The Gamo clan muttered for a moment, and his mouth moved slightly twice during the period, it seemed that he had some judgment, but in the end he still said: "Kuroda officers and soldiers do have some ghosts, and Lord Takenaka can't tell me clearly, so I naturally can't judge." However, the preparation of the lord for more than a year can be described as perfect, and there is no need to follow his steps! ”

"That's just as well!" I nodded and looked at the pile of notes, slightly irritated.

The reality is that as he said, my plan has reached the point of mercury, not because I am very clever, but because I have more political ideas after more than 400 years of social knowledge. Of course, it is also very important that I know that through the exploration of others, I can find enough money from there in this day and age. If not, everything is in vain!

However, I still want to be able to predict the opponent's movements, so that this kind of battle is interesting, and even though it is a game where I set the rules, it is still somewhat confrontational.

"Then let's see what the heavens have to say!" I said suddenly.

"Oh?" Gamo didn't understand what it meant.

I picked up all the piles of notes on the table and went through them one by one. After that, I wanted to flip it like a playing card, but the paper was too soft. "Come, close your eyes and smoke a random one!" I twisted the handwriting face down into a fan and walked forward to the Kamo clan.

"This ......," he said, looking at the notes and then at me, looking a little crying and laughing.

"Pump!" I kept urging. "Whoever you draw, I'm going to start working on him, and see what the consequences are!"

"Isn't that wrong?" After all, he is still a military advisor, so I can't help but think that my approach is a bit child's play.

"What's this, anyway, the allocation of power has nothing to do with the grand purpose!" I shook my hand, and the note rattled in my hand.

"That'...... As a minister, let's try it and see if I can ask for the mandate of heaven for the lord! Gamo grinned, put his hands in front of him and blew, then stretched his right hand forward with his thumb and index finger.

"That's right!" I had a slight mischievous excitement, it was so stuffy these days.

"Report to the lord, His Royal Highness Shunqing Tsutsui asks to see you!" His hand was less than two inches away from a note, and a voice spoke outside. I turned my head to look, and I didn't notice that Sakurai Sakichi was already standing outside the open door.

"What a disappointment!" I said something stupid.

"This is indeed a good thing, you don't have to smoke anymore!" The Gamo clan withdrew that hand, looked at me meaningfully, and said a word.

"Go and invite him here!" I rolled my eyes to Sakichi Sakurai, and then neatly folded the notes into a neat stack.

“…… Be! "Although Sakurai Sakichi really couldn't understand how I could receive Tsutsui Shunkei, who was nothing in the inner courtyard, he quickly ran out to carry it out.

"Quick, clean up!" I grabbed a random book, clipped the note in, and then scrambled to clear the book to the sides, leaving a large space in the middle of the table.

Naturally, the Gamo clan understood what I was talking about, and quickly went to a shelf by the wall and took down the chess table and chess pieces. Shimazu Coral glanced at the two of us, then lowered her head and went back to brewing her tea.

We had just roughly placed some chess pieces on the chessboard here, and Tsutsui Shunkei's figure followed Sakurai Sakichi in the corner gate of the garden, his thin figure bent slightly, coupled with his habitual frequent nods, always giving people the feeling of constantly bowing and saluting.

They came to the bottom of the porch, and I stared at the chessboard with a white piece in my hand, frowning as if in thought. Sakurai Sakichi opened his mouth to report it, but Tsutsui Shunkei said something with a laugh, probably "don't bother" or something.

"Your Highness Tsutsui! It's been a long time...... "It took me a long time to look up, as if I had just seen him. "I remember the last time we met, it was more than a year ago, right? Time flies! I've been getting lazier and lazier since Kyushu returned to school, and I've lost a lot of opportunities to meet with you. ”

"TOEFL, all thanks to the blessings of His Highness the Stars!" Tsutsui Shunkei's head nodded faster, and the smile on his face bloomed like a daisy. Because of his age, there were many small wrinkles on his slippery face, which made him laugh and become more and more serious. "I should have come to see you a long time ago, but there was a small incident in the territory that prevented me from coming sooner. I can't even attend the wedding of the second son, I'm really embarrassed! As he spoke, he folded his hands together and made a gesture.

"Forget it, you're not the only one who didn't come!" I raised my right hand and shook it at him, still holding the white seed between my fingers.

"Alas~! It seems that His Highness Zhuxing still blames me......" Tsutsui Shunkei lowered his head and sighed, then shook his head again. "No matter how angry His Highness Zhuxing is, I, Tsutsui Shunqing, have nothing to say. No matter what others do, I, the Tsutsui family, are definitely on your side. If it weren't for your care, I wouldn't have been able to return to Yamato-gunyama Castle, and the Tsutsui family might have perished long ago. Today, don't say that His Highness Zhuxing is just angry with me, that is, he scolds me, and even rejects me, I can only be cheeky and ask for guilt in front of you! ”

"Smack!" The chess piece in my hand fell back into the box made of white jade. "His Royal Highness Tsutsui is too careful, if I really blame you, I won't see you, let alone in the inner courtyard. If you don't believe me, just ask, who have I seen in the past ten days? ”

"I know the benefits of His Highness Zhuxing to my Tsutsui family!" Shunkei Tsutsui is a veteran person, and he took this opportunity to immediately climb up the "pole". "I also heard about something, so I hurriedly dealt with the matter at hand and rushed over. I don't know much about it, I only know how to listen to the words of His Highness the Stars; Go with His Highness the Stars; Everything will be done according to the orders of His Highness the Stars! ”

"Ha, ha, ha, His Highness Tsutsui is really joking!" Although I laughed and declined Tsutsui Shunkei's kindness, everyone could see that these words had touched my heart. "Now that the imperial court is stable, what else can I worry about? Take me as an example, when the daimyo guarding Kyoto has such a casual attitude as me, these can't be fake! ”

"Oh, then I don't listen again?" Tsutsui Shunkei frowned suspiciously, and his tone was a little hesitant. "I vaguely heard a few days ago that the relationship between His Highness the Stars and the Imperial Court is not so harmonious. Now it seems that this is someone who is spreading rumors, and there is really a fear that the world will not be chaotic! ”

"Cough, cough......" I coughed twice, and took the opportunity to cover my mouth to glance at the Gamo clan.

"Droughts and floods may lack food, plagues may lack medicine, but rumors have never been lacking in the world!" Gamo clan laughed as he spoke, as if he had heard something interesting. "His Highness Zhuxing is at odds with the imperial court? It's a shame on how these people made it up. As early as fifteen years ago, since the first time Oda Taimasa entered Beijing, His Royal Highness Zhuxing has resolutely implemented the will of the imperial court, not to mention that some people have made requests to the imperial court twice in three days, as for the contribution to the imperial court, I am afraid that thousands of times are also unique! I would like to ask His Highness Tsutsui, what reason does the imperial court have to be dissatisfied with His Highness Zhuxing, who never looks for trouble? I was young when many of these things happened, but Your Highness Tsutsui shouldn't know about it! ”

"Oh, oh, oh...... That's exactly what it looks like! Tsutsui Shunqing snorted a few times, and his eyes immediately made a "sudden realization" as soon as he rolled his eyes. "It looks like I've been fooled, but it's no wonder. In my mind, His Highness Zhuxing is like the existence of the sun and moon gods and Buddhas, and my mind is all messed up when I hear that you have something to do here, and I can't even think of such a simple truth, it's really damned, damned! As he spoke, he clenched his fists and pounded his shiny head.

"His Royal Highness Tsutsui can have such affection, and my Xingqing clan will be relieved!" My tone was both emotional and regretful, but then I put away the expression of my feelings and returned to my original calm tone. "It is precisely because of a loyal person like His Royal Highness Tsutsui that can be so stable, and it seems that the practice of the former monarch Oda Taizheng to cleanse is still very effective. Originally, I was worried that His Highness Hashiba wanted me to take care of Kyoto for the time being, but now it doesn't seem to be a big deal! ”

"Only an astonishing material like His Highness Zhuxing can do such a vertical arch!" Tsutsui Shunkei's slitted eyes made it difficult to see the direction of his gaze, but at this time, the cervical spine seemed to turn slightly unintentionally.

The Gamo clan turned towards him, as if he wanted to speak to him out of politeness, but he also happened to half-block the small table.

"Your Highness, the tea is ready!" At this time, Shimazu Coral lifted the teapot on the stove, and somehow turned the original two sets of tea sets into three sets and sent them to us.

"Oh!" Tsutsui Shunkei was slightly stunned, and after glancing at Sango, his gaze quickly left, but I knew what he was thinking. He probably didn't have an idea just now because Coral kept his back to us, but he should have seen that this was not an ordinary maid, but since I didn't introduce him, he didn't want to ask.

"His Royal Highness Tsutsui, please use tea!" I raised my teacup to Shunkei Tsutsui and smiled at it.

"Oh, His Royal Highness Yuzhou, please!" Tsutsui Shunkei immediately raised the teacup to us, took a sip and said, "As I said just now, the matter in the lower territory has been completed. If Your Highness Stars has any commands......"

"Commands? What commands? After looking at him in surprise, I turned to the Gamo clan and asked suspiciously, "Is there anything we need His Highness Tsutsui to help us with?" ”

"I don't know!" The Gamo clan shook his head, his face full of confusion. "Perhaps...... His Royal Highness Tsutsui can you advise me on the negligence of the subordinates? He humbly asked Tsutsui Shunkei.
