Volume 6, Whose Family Is the World 101, Early Morning in Nara (I)

"Start...... Don't ...... Rise...... I couldn't ......," I looked at the dim roof in the darkness, frowning and babbling over and over again. It was a painful choice, and for now, it bothered me more than Tokugawa Ieyasu and the monks.

My room was very warm, but I was not deceived by this illusion, and last night the north wind mixed with large clouds of snow blew across the roof, whining and roaring all night. Although it is silent at the moment, it must be terribly cold outside.

I heard a few slight metal thumps last night before going to bed, and the attendants must have placed a large number of braziers in the hallway and next door. So now I feel so comfortable, but once I go out, it's hard to guarantee.

"Let's get up!" With a long sigh, I sat up and put on a few pieces of clothing by the pillow. It's a strange feeling with a bit of familiarity, as if returning to the winter morning when I had to go to school when I was a child.

"Huh~!" I opened the bedroom door, still feeling the warmth.

"Ahh There were two maids in the outer room who were napping a dozen charcoal braziers, and when they saw me suddenly appear, they jumped up in shock. "Forgive your sins, we didn't hear you get up! Spare your life!" They knelt down and kowtowed.

"Nothing, I woke up early today!" I myself feel that today's behavior is a little weird, and there is no need to blame anyone for this.

"Whew!" There was another knock at the door, and Hideyuki Gamo, the eldest son of the Gamo clan, rushed in through the corridor, and he and Maeda Toshitsuna, the second son of Keiji Maeda, were my chief and deputy attendants. "Dadian, why are you ......" Seeing me come out at this time, he was also stunned for a moment.

"It's hard to get out, I'm going to go outside!" I said calmly and continued to walk out.

"You damn things, don't hurry up and serve the hall to change clothes!" Gamo Hideyuki shouted and scolded while making two gestures behind him.

The two frightened half-deadlads hurriedly got up, quickly put on my coat on the cabinet next to me, and then one tied my belt for me. The other pinned bits and pieces to it. I stopped and spread my arms as I heard a slight but dense sound of footsteps running off into the distance in the hallway outside.

Looking at the nervous and flustered faces of the few of them, I wanted to say something, but in the end I didn't say anything. A superior person is lonely in itself, and no matter what he does, it will put pressure on people, maybe it would be better if I say nothing, after all, it is only a small thing. Once I do have an opinion on something, I might end up with a few caesarean sections.

I sat down at the table and waited for three minutes. A breakfast appeared in front of me, and although the schedule changed slightly, it didn't make me feel any discomfort. If you have the opportunity to do that one day, don't forget to experience the feeling of being surrounded by a huge machine of thousands of people.

I was the only one eating, so I was quick, and when I finally drank a small bowl of miso soup in a shallow way, Gamo Hideyuki walked back.

"Please tell the main hall, are you going out after dinner?" He asked, standing behind me. Just now, I said that I was going to go out for a walk, and he should have arranged this matter.

"Hmm!" I held the gold-lacquered bowl in my hand and nodded. After three days in a row, it's time to move.

"Yesterday, after nightfall, His Royal Highness the Shogun also came to Nara. Didn't bother you because it was too late!" Seeing that I seemed to be in a good mood, he continued to report: "Now Nara Castle is full of daimyo from all over the world, although there is no official request. But I actually want to be able to see you. My father and His Royal Highness Takenaka don't know what you mean, and if you want to meet them in public, you'll have to make arrangements in advance!"

The miso soup was already at its bottom, so I put down the bowl and picked up the towel on the side to wipe off a strip of seaweed from the corner of my mouth. "Let Xinqing come to me at lunch, and I'll talk about the rest later!" I stood up and walked out the door, the Gamo clan following closely behind me.

The door to the main hall had been opened, and a cold wind was blowing in his face, not cold but still biting. A maid came running up from behind, and put a sable fur over me. The big one was thick but light, and I didn't feel much cold in the hall here and outside.

In the courtyard, a team of five hundred attendant warriors was ready to go. The well-groomed armor made them look like robots from the future, and Maeda Toshitsuna was already neatly draped and standing at the front of the queue.

Normally, the guards should wait in the outer city, but here in Nara there are no such conditions. The temple where I borrowed the place I lived was already quite huge, otherwise I am afraid that even these people would not be able to arrange them.

It was already white outside, and it seemed that last night's study was really big enough, and judging from the bare branches of the big trees and the traces attached to the wall tiles, there were always two or three inches. At this time, it would have been the best to enjoy the snow with Xianzhi and them, but it was a pity that they all stayed in Yulong Mountain City and did not follow.

"Your Highness, please!" Just as I was feeling senselessly, a small voice sounded weakly under the diagonal bottom.

"Oh!" I looked down. It turned out to be a young squire kneeling by the door with my shoes in his hands, looking at me nervously. Somehow, I suddenly remembered "Monkey", who seemed to have done such a job back then.

The development of history is really incomprehensible, I and he also rose like a comet in the sky above everyone's heads, if it weren't for my "accident", he must have left a strong mark in the history books, and would not be just a passerby in such a hurry as today.

Things in the world are so weird, and I don't have to think about the cause and effect relationship anymore, even if I don't think about it. I put my foot in his hand and put my foot in my shoe, but before I could step down the steps, a warm sedan chair with the door open appeared in front of me.

"I'm not sitting in a sedan chair today!" I stood on the steps and said.

"Go and get the palace car here!" Although Gamo Hideyuki was slightly surprised, he did not delay, and immediately ordered his subordinates to change the deployment.

"No, not a car!" I still shook my head.

The Gamo clan frowned, showing great embarrassment. "Back to the main hall, it snowed a lot last night, and the road was slippery, so it was really not safe to ride a horse. The golden and jade body of the main hall is extremely noble, and his subordinates really dare not ......" He didn't say the following words, but the meaning was already very clear.

"Oh......" I looked back at him, and he was very hesitant. It seems that such a move is already quite a big thing for him, and he has to be very cautious.

It is often said that the older you get, the younger, and older people sometimes have some stubborn tempers, although I am often not exempt from vulgarity, but compared to other people, it is good. It's been a long time since I've ridden a horse, and I don't know if it's still safe. Xiuxing is just concentrating on their own work, which is already very difficult, and in all fairness, they really shouldn't cause them any more trouble.

"I don't ride the horse anymore, I just want to walk outside!" I comforted him and pointed outside. "It's rare to encounter such weather and such scenery, and the snow has not been destroyed in the early morning. I don't come out very often now, so I have to see something!"

"Please take care of the main hall!" Gamo Xiuyuki bowed and saluted, but secretly exhaled. If you don't take a car, don't ride a sedan chair, or ride a horse, you naturally can't go far, and you can't see that anything can happen.

"Got it!" I had already put on my shoes and stomped on the steps of the hallway, then walked out. "Don't get too close, or you'll trample the snow!" I didn't look back.

The heavy wooden door creaked open, and despite what I said, thirty or so guards ran out first, nervously observing the situation outside.

The sheath on the knife had been ripped off, and everyone's expressions were as if they were facing a great enemy.

I wanted to tell them that it didn't have to be like this, but after thinking about it, I didn't want to talk about it, because even if I did, they wouldn't listen. After a sigh, I walked out by myself, and there was no one around me.

The snow creaks and creaks beneath your feet, and it's very comfortable to step on softly, and the streets of old Nara are dotted with majestic and delicate temple pagodas, and the scenery after the snow is unique.

At this time, if it was not a last resort, very few people would leave the warm and comfortable bed, but my not-so-sharp eyes still found a dozen people scattered on the street corner in the distance. They seemed very surprised to see my group come out, and then they ran away as fast as they could.

History ushered in the sixth year of Qingchang, the world seems to be more and more stable, everywhere presents a scene of singing and dancing, the pride of the golden iron horse during the war has gradually disappeared, and a kind of extravagant atmosphere has gradually dispersed.

To show their loyalty and praise the shogun's deeds, the daimyo from all over Japan once again gathered in Osaka to present a variety of rare gifts. Many of the second and third generations of heirs had forgotten the glory of their ancestors and were bent on currying favor with the shogunate.

Just as such a gathering was about to end, a piece of news suddenly came: the Ryuzan Upper Hall, which had been in seclusion for many years, suddenly traveled to Nara! This was a great event, and first Tsutsui Terumasa immediately hurried back from Osaka.

What was even more surprising was that I made an exception to meet him and talked for a short time, so some people speculated even more: This "Taishang General" is thinking about what kind of big event he wants to hold in Nara, right?

Naturally, such an opportunity could not be missed, and the daimyo who had already settled the affairs of Osaka came to Nara one after another, until the arrival of Nobukiyo last night. Some young people came to see my legend almost with a "pilgrimage", but I went out in seclusion!
