A caravan of 200 knights stopped in front of the palace of the Imperial Minister and Regent Sekihaku Konoe, and even though the streets were so wide, they were quite lively. Because it is the final grade that has just reached the upper hall level, it is impossible for the queue to be too large, but in terms of "quality", it is absolutely high-grade!

Not to mention the magnificence of weapons and armor, just those Cossack warriors are unique. They are all meritorious personnel who have officially joined our team, although the number is not large, but after all, it is a good start. Such a "Western scene" is enough to attract people's attention, and there are many spectators pointing at the streets and alleys.

"Your Royal Highness Yuzhou, welcome to your arrival!" As soon as my war horse stood still, a middle-aged man with beautiful costumes, elegant manners, and a gentle attitude greeted me with a smile and enthusiasm. Of course, it is impossible for Konoe to stand in front of the gate in person, this is his housekeeper Takano Yasukei.

"Lord Kono doesn't need to be polite, the Qing clan took the liberty to disturb!" Without waiting for him to take the reins of the horse, I jumped off by myself and said politely. The seventh rank official in front of the prime minister, from this point of view, his status is not much lower than mine. It's a pity that now the status without the support of force is no longer valuable, and even Guan Bai has degenerated to the point of being a foil.

"Your Highness's merits are known to everyone today, and the court's reliance and expectations are not measured by grade alone!" After saying that, Takano Yasukei politely led me inside, although it was a little stuttering, but it was not annoying.

I followed him, thinking as I went. I have learned quite well about the style of the minister, at least in front of the small wealthy families in those places, I am very confident. But I'm a little discouraged here today, and even a housekeeper is more orthodox than me, at least I can't pull out the classical long note at all. A servant is a servant, but it depends on whose servant it is!

Konoe saw me in the flower hall of the second entrance, in the middle of the hall and the study, which means that my visit was official but still in the preparatory stage. However, to my surprise, not only did Konoe have been waiting there for a long time, but there were also more than a dozen ministers.

"Your Excellency Konoe is too polite, I really can't afford it!" People respect me a foot, I respect people, and I rushed up before Konoe and others walked down the steps.

"Your Highness Zhuxing is a person who has made great contributions to the imperial court, and it is not easy for me to stop Your Excellency if you want to show your respect!" Konoe came over and grabbed my arm intimately, showing the posture of an old friend, in fact, although we had seen each other a lot before, we didn't really have much interaction. "Actually, it's not grand, it's all some people who are close to each other!" As he spoke, he pointed with his other hand to the others.

"I'm really ashamed to disturb your Excellency!" I bowed slightly, and sure enough, most of them knew.

"His Highness Zhuxing is the one who is burdened with thousands of burdens, what do we idlers have to disturb!" Because it is a half-public and half-private occasion, everyone speaks more casually.

"After this expedition to quell the rebellion, I wonder if Your Excellency Konoe has made arrangements?" I asked straight to the point, since it was Oda Nobunaga's meaning, I think they wouldn't give face.

"Your Highness Zhuxing is really dedicated to the country!" Konoe said politely for a long time before he said: "Recently, there have been signs of re-**** in, which has been stable, and many people with lofty ideals are worried about this. This time, the Oda Inner Mansion sent His Royal Highness to take charge of this important matter, and the imperial court was naturally very pleased! In order to justify His Highness's rebellion, and to report to the Emperor to observe the situation, the two Excellencies Yamashina and Washio set out with His Highness as envoys after consultation with the Inner Court! ”

"Thank you two for your hard work!" I immediately turned my head and nodded to Yamashina Yanji and Washio Takayasu on the side, with two Nayan accompanying me, this time the face is enough.

"It's that we have to rely on His Highness's martial arts!" These two people also politely returned the courtesy.

Speaking of which, neither of these two people is a politician in the pure sense of the word, but a somewhat nerdy feudal scholar. As he enters old age, Yamashina Yanji has grown a "hanged ghost" face, and Washio Takayasu has grown up with age, and in general, they don't have too many political opinions mixed in, so they should be relatively easy to get along with.

"Your Highness the Stars, I have a question that I would like to ask below, I wonder if I can give me advice?" Washio Takayasu is still only in his early twenties, and he is still a little out of breath in the event of an accident. However, it is also possible that he has been discussed in advance to let him take the lead, so he does not seem to be nervous in the slightest.

"Your Excellency Washio is a famous genius in Kyoto, is there anything I can explain that you don't understand?" I heard that the lives of the ministers have been very good recently, is it necessary to be in such a hurry to "fight the autumn breeze"? Maybe it's just trying to live a more luxurious life, it's not a big deal. "If there is a place where you can do your best, you don't dare to shirk it!" I looked at him and waited for the next words.

"This ......," he muttered, not knowing whether he was embarrassed or considering the wording. I wonder if His Highness has traveled to Nara? Finally, he asked.

"I've been here twice, but it's just a quick visit!" I nodded.

"That's a pity...... "Ryakasu Washio seems to feel sorry for me." Nara is the ancient capital of the previous emperors, and the number of places of interest is not at all lower than that of Kyoto. At that time, the world was peaceful and the royal family was glorious, and many imperial temples were built, ...... "Then he gave me a lecture on culture and history.

At first I just thought he was a nerd and listened quietly out of politeness. But then I realized that it was not the case, and the others not only did not stop or even resent him, but observed my expression a little nervously. Of course, they are all "old fritters" who have been in the sea for a long time, and it is impossible to show it too obviously, these are my own feelings. Slowly, I figured out the joints, and they were testing my mouth for the big temples in Nara!

The relationship between the great temples of Nara and the imperial court was still good, not only with money and food to help the royal family when they were in a down, but also to accommodate and protect individual people who were hunted down. However, with the gradual expansion of the power of the secular daimyo, the battle scene between the three and five hundred peasant soldiers has basically disappeared in the past two years, and the considerable monk and soldier power of the temple is now not worth it, at least compared to my army, they can only be a fart!

"His Royal Highness Eagletail really has a compassionate and benevolent heart, and it is really an unfortunate thing that the thousand-year-old capital has encountered war!" I interjected while he was breathing in the middle of the day, and I made it clear at once.

"His Highness Zhuxing's praise is really undeserved, no matter how much you think about it, you are powerless!" Wasio Takayasu was young and the first to speak, but that didn't mean he was confused or reckless, and as soon as I praised him, I immediately showed that there was no direct relationship with him. "His Highness Zhuxing is a well-known benevolent and righteous sage in the world, and he holds a heavy army and controls the life and death of thousands of people. In this eventful autumn, I hope that His Royal Highness will retain more vitality for with a compassionate heart! "He wanted to talk to me.

"I don't know what the imperial court wills?" I didn't answer his words directly, but turned to Konoe Maehisa who was sitting in the main hall.

"This ...... Not really! Konoe was stunned for a long time, obviously not thinking of how the topic suddenly became so formal. But he was a politician who was good at diplomatic rhetoric, and he immediately found the most legitimate way to express it. "Of course, without such a will, how could the imperial court interfere with the actions of His Royal Highness the Inner Mansion to quell the chaos for no reason? But ......" after making it clear that the imperial court had no "ambitions" for power, he sighed heavily. "His Majesty the Emperor is always worried about the fact that the people will not be able to live in peace and tranquility. When Benxiang was serving the royal driver, he often heard the sigh of the saint: he couldn't make his people live and work in peace and contentment, which made him feel ashamed of heaven and earth and the emperors of the past! For the sake of the Holy, we courtiers must always do what we can. Now that His Royal Highness has a military order to counter the rebellion, there will be no objection from all sides. But in the thought before the battle of His Highness Zhuxing, there may be the merits and demerits of the history books of the thousand years! ”

"Old fox!" I cursed in my heart, but I couldn't do without a statement. "The Zhuxing Qing clan is so heavily entrusted by the imperial court and His Royal Highness the Inner Palace, how dare they not tremble and be sincerely afraid! Nara was close to the imperial capital, and the Qing clan should be cautious. However, the rebels are cunning, and there may be a comeback, when the time comes...... It's hard to say in the next! "I said it beforehand, it's not like nothing like this before.

"I think this is enough to comfort the heart of the saint!" Konoe nodded for a long time.

"I want to ...... I think if we can fight without blood, that would be the best result! At this moment, a voice sounded in the back row, and a minister sitting at the back of the seat said cautiously. I looked at it, and Bai Jing was thin and had a pair of fox eyes, and he was one of the only two people I didn't know.

"This is ......," I asked Konoe in some confusion.

"This is His Excellency Kanekatsu Hirohashi, who has just been ordained...... "He introduced me to him.

"Oh......" It dawned on me that this man had really heard of it. Hirohashi Kanekatsu also participated in the diplomatic mediation affairs of the Oda family before, but because of the small number of times and the inconsistencies and inconsistencies, I don't know each other, and the most important point is: in the era when Hosokawa and Miyoshi were in power, Hirohashi Kanekatsu and his father lived in Nara for a long time, so this family has a deep relationship with Matsunaga Shu! "I understand what Your Excellency Hirohashi means!" I smiled and asked Hirohashi Kanekatsu rhetorically: "Don't talk about me in such a militaristic matter, even Your Excellency of the Inner Government must be cautious!" His Excellency Hirohashi's opinion is naturally very clever, I don't know if it is his own meaning or who is speaking for? ”

"No...... It's not ......," he couldn't help but panic a little when I asked.

"Even if it is, it doesn't matter!" I withdrew my gaze and stopped staring at him, this was not an important person. "It is the responsibility of the people of the world to build harmony together, no matter inside and outside, high and low, far and near. No matter what sins have been committed in the past, I want to ...... His Royal Highness will have the best decision! ”
