The first spring rains fell in mid-March, and temperatures have risen significantly since then. The chirping of birds is constantly heard among the flowers and trees in the garden, echoing the sound of frogs under the lotus leaves in the pond. Newly built houses and gardens have a dry atmosphere, and only after living for a period of time and carefully maintaining can they gradually get better.

I walked slowly to the warm pavilion by the pond, and I had to meet a few guests today. But unlike in the past, this time I was still with Senkomaru. I looked sideways and noticed that his body was trembling slightly. I couldn't help but sigh when I saw this, it seems that the weak side of my bloodline is still dominant.

As the first child, when Senkomaru was born, my environment was already very good, and their education also belonged to the combination of ancient and modern, but compared to the heirs of the general daimyo of this era, it seemed a little weak. Some military generals in the Warring States period went into battle at the age of eleven or twelve, and some even let their children execute criminals by themselves at a very young age. But I always feel that this is too cruel, and it is easy to cause psychological deformities.

But reality always has to be faced, otherwise they won't be able to survive after me. This morning, I ordered Misty Butterfly to secretly put some concentrating, clearing, and calming drugs in the tea of the fairy carp pill. That's all I can do as a father!

"The lord has arrived!" Seeing us coming, Sadatomo Ishikawa and Sakurai Sakichi bowed down and opened the door from both sides.

"See the lord!" The three men who were waiting in the house bowed to the ground.

"Let's all be exempt!" I walked over to the main seat and sat down, Senkomaru sitting next to my left side, and Goto Mata stood behind me on my right. "The teacher is tired all the way, and his health is fine!" I asked with concern about Nagano Yoshimasa, the first seat on the left, and he was flanked by Takenaka's half-guard.

"Entrusted to the lord Hongfu, although there is a cheap illness, he can still do his best!" He replied with a twitch of his already snow-white eyebrows and beard, and at the same time his face twitched slightly unnaturally, and if you listened closely, you would notice that his voice trembled a little.

"The teacher is okay with everything, and you can let go of some of the official affairs and leave them to the young people!" I breathed a sigh of relief.

Last year, Nagano Ye was hit by a stroke, and although the rescue was timely, after all, he was in his eighties, leaving some sequelae. In the past, he was a hero, but now he can only walk slowly with a cane. I also had the idea of taking him to my side, but he wrote back and said, "Although the tiger is old, it is okay to guard the gate for the lord!" In the end, I had to give up.

"Thank you for your concern! It's really a little old......" I said a few words of consolation, which actually aroused his emotion. "Thanks to the lord's refusal to give up, entrusted to the great power of Tanbo, I should have sworn to defend it to repay my kindness, and I didn't want to cause great changes because I couldn't do it. Thanks to ......," he raised his hand and pointed to the man facing me below. "Thanks to Hatano Pro-Nobu, he understood the righteousness at the critical moment and eliminated the opposition party such as Hideji Hatano in one fell swoop. This allowed the rebellion to be quickly quelled and the country of Tambo to be restored to peace. Lord Xuan has made great contributions, please see the lord! ”

"You're Hatano Shintobu? This time, you have the most credit, and it is really hard! With his finger I shifted my gaze and nodded to the skinny middle-aged man in front of me. This is a featureless person, with slightly yellowish skin and sparse hair, and a mouse-like beard, but his eyes are always wandering, and he seems a little angry.

"This is just what a subordinate should do, His Highness's praise makes me honestly afraid!" He lowered his head and bowed his head repeatedly, speaking with a slight sizzling voice.

"You don't have to be so polite, you have made a great contribution after all!" I picked up the small folding fan and fanned it lightly, not because of the temperature, but because I wanted to catch a smell that was not obvious. "Please explain it yourself, I am deeply interested in your merits!"

"Yes, the subordinate is presumptuous!" Hatano reached forward with some fear and some smugness, and there were seventeen black lacquer boxes one and a half feet square. "This is the rebellious minister Hideharu Hatano......" The first box was opened, and inside was a lifelike human head, which had obviously been wiped and incense, so the taste was not very rushing.

Senkomaru's body trembled even more obviously, and I secretly reached out and pinched his shoulder while everyone's attention was focused on the front. His spirit stabilized a little, but there was still unconcealed fear in his eyes.

"This is the rebel minister Hatano Hidesao; This is the rebel minister Abe Shigetai; This is the ...... of the rebels" The boxes were opened one by one, and a trace of guilt that had begun to exist in Hatano's expression gradually dissipated. There is nothing surprising about this, this is the inevitable fate of the loser.

Since the Hatano Hideji brothers were under house arrest in the territory of Hatano Sotakaka, they lived in a small temple with about a dozen houses. The old minister remembered the feelings of the past, so the guards were not very strict, and the daily life was not bad. But just a month ago, Miyoshi Nagaitsu once again stirred up turmoil in Settsu, which the Hatano brothers saw as an opportunity to make a comeback. With the help of a small monk in the temple, they escaped from house arrest.

After all, they knew their way well, and the Hatano brothers quickly gained a foothold with a kin, and then sent a message to their former retainers, calling on them to raise an army and unite with Miyoshi to remove my rule in Tamba in one fell swoop.

The vast majority of people were taken aback after receiving this information, and everyone led by Hatano Sotaka, Shioni Kyoye, and Akai Naomasa replied one after another, asking these two brothers to be sober and quickly get lost and return to their own guilt! But these two people, like all gamblers who have lost red-eyed, gritted their teeth and prepared to go their own way.

The Boduono family still has a certain foundation in Tamba's rule for many years, and more than a dozen people have led their subordinates to rush to the round desperately, and they have actually made them cobble together nearly 2,000 people. Faced with this situation, Nagano Yemasa, as the guardian of Tanba, naturally couldn't sit idly by, but because of his serious physical discomfort, he had to send my old saka, who was in the Hatano family, to lead 3,000 troops to conquer.

Facing the oppressive army, Hideharu Hatano and others prepared to resist stubbornly, and sent urgent letters to Miyoshi and Mori asking for help. Although their subordinates are some rabble who do not have much combat effectiveness, the terrain of the fortified city is dangerous and there is plenty of food and grass, so they are ready to fight, maybe they can wait for the day when the situation changes!

But at this moment, the situation really changed unbelievably! The relatives who received the Hatano brothers, the lord of the castle, suddenly attacked at a banquet and killed all the rebel leaders, including the Hatano brothers. The rebels were leaderless for a while, and no one could organize further resistance, and there was no other way but to open the door and surrender. In this way, an originally vigorous rebellion was eliminated in Mier, and this Hatano kin, who played a key role, is the Hatano pro-Xuan in front of me at this moment!

"The world has just begun to settle down, but I don't want to ......," I shook my head very regretfully. I had no selfish grudges with His Royal Highness Hideji, but it was only because he was confused and disobedient to the court for a while that I was ordered to lead troops to fight. I thought that after a while, after the aftermath of this matter gradually subsided, I would implore the right general to go to the court to pardon his crimes! I didn't expect ...... Alas, the number of days! I sighed and raised my hand to wipe two tears from the corners of my eyes.

"His Royal Highness Yushu is the most virtuous in the world, and the people of the world are all vying to praise him......" Hatano pro-Xuan kowtowed loudly on the ground, and said with tears of gratitude and gratitude: "Hatano Hideji has repeatedly committed rebellion against the imperial court, and the inferior have also been foolish and attached to him. These heinous sins should have been extinguished, and His Royal Highness Yu Zhou was repeatedly educated with a compassionate heart. Since he has been fortunate to be recreated, he should be grateful for the information of his gratitude, and he doesn't want him to bite back and repay virtue with resentment. It seems that such wolf ambitions are heinous, and there is really a way to die, so Your Highness should not feel sorry for such a person! ”

"It's really a blessing for the Hatano family to have this kind of view, and it's a blessing for Tanba!" I smiled again, and my tone was noticeably kinder. "For example, today's Emperor Shengde decree is clear, and the imperial court is trying to return the sea to peace. At the time of this employment, I could not find that such a virtuous person as an adult was really a mistake. Fortunately, this incident happened, and the adults established miraculous feats with great righteousness, so that the court would not have the regret of leaving the pearl in the wilderness! But in the end, family affection is hard to give up, and adults must be worried too, right? ”

"Yes...... Yes?! Hearing my initial compliments and obvious promotions, Hatano became a little excited, and then broke out in a cold sweat at the last sentence. This is a matter of principle of major right and wrong, and the slightest carelessness will not only ruin the previous achievements, but may also lead to the end of the life. "Which is more important than family affection and righteousness, although I am stupid, I am also conscious!" It is worthy of being a super-level political animal with a sensitive sense of smell, and it only took a moment of panic to return to normal. "Besides, Hideji Hatano and others can't represent the Hatano family, and it is precisely because of their perverse actions that the century-old cause of the Hatano family was almost ruined, and they almost fell into the abyss of destruction. Relying on the stars to save the Hatano family from fire and water, the ancestral rites can be continued, and the family name can be preserved. In my opinion, the only person who can truly represent the legal system of the Hatano family now is the young master, His Royal Highness Ryuomaru! This is also the meaning of the Hatano family up and down, and I hope that under the leadership of His Highness, the Hatano family will be brought to glory! After saying that, he slammed his head on the ground again.

"Good! That's a good point...... "I gently stroked my palms twice, and my eyes drifted to Nagano Yoshimasa and Takenaka Hanbei, and I swore that I couldn't do it even if I asked myself.

"Lord!" The half-guard of Takenaka waved at me, a wondrous smile on his face. "Lord Qinxuan's loyalty can be described as sincere, and it is natural that the Lord should reuse it!"

"Takenaka-sama's words are exactly ......what the old minister wants to say," Nagano Yemasa also immediately spoke, full of "enthusiasm" and recommended: "The old minister is old and weak, and his energy is not good, and there have been many omissions in Tanba's government affairs in the past two years. Fortunately, the stars descended from heaven and blessed him with such a pillar of both ability and integrity. Please reward the lord for his meritorious deeds, and share some of the official duties for the old ministers! ”
