Sometimes I really don't know how to look at myself, why can't I be as optimistic as everyone else? For example, the suggestion made by Ryakasu Washio two days ago is too creative and whimsical!

The name of General Zhengyi has been passed down for 400 years, and if you want to explain the meaning of these five words clearly, you have to use a work of hundreds of thousands of words. Although General Zhengyi is still just a foreign official regardless of rank, the tradition of the samurai ruling the world has been condensed too much in these simple words.

I don't really like the form of the general Zhengyi managing the world through management, exploration, and protection, and history has proven its instability. The power of the local administrators is too great and hereditary, and it would be strange if there was nothing wrong with it after a few generations!

But if I'm going to change all this, I have to master it all first, or it's all just empty words. In a sense, today is the most important battle of my life.

On August 2, 1586, at half past eight in the morning, I stood in front of the south-facing window of the Osaka Castle Castle Tower. I quietly watched everything in front of me, everything in me!

The sun had risen high, turning from bright red to golden, and casting a golden glow on the sea. From a distance, you can see the rooftops of Ishiyama Town, forming a large area, and the closer you get to the sea, the more ships there are, which makes Ishiyama Town have the style of a large port in the world. This is not my bragging, according to some European businessmen, the scale of Stone Mountain is among the first class even in Europe, but it is not yet top-notch!

Since I settled in Osaka, Ishiyama has grown rapidly, and in addition to the original smuggling trade between the Ming Dynasty and North Korea, the connection with various ports in Japan has also been strengthened.

As the de facto political center, it inevitably created the largest and most centralized bureaucracy in the country, and the associated flow of people swelled almost overnight. Now walking on the streets of Stone Mountain, you can see foreign samurai coming and going at any time, and these people will inevitably spend money on food, clothing, housing and transportation, which naturally promotes the economy. After all, Osaka Castle is now the organization that manages the world, and it hasn't been done for ten days and half a month, but there are a lot of people!

I like the atmosphere, not the bureaucratic style, but the attitude. I don't know if I'm the only one who has noticed this, but there aren't many others, but there aren't many others, and the relationship between the local government and the central government is getting closer and closer, and the dependence is becoming more and more serious, and the pattern of division is gradually changing to great unification.

"I'm doing my best, the rest depends on God's will!" I leaned forward with my hands on the windowsill, closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

Today is the day of the Daimyo Meeting, and everything will be known today. Thinking of this, I felt the blood around me gradually heat up, as if flames were flowing in my body.

"Your Highness!" A voice whispered behind me, not loud but still disturbing me.

"Huh?" All of a sudden, my soul returned to my body, and I pushed my hands forward on the windowsill and retreated. It seems that I was thinking about something again, and someone came to remind me what to do.

A little maid of eleven or twelve years old was standing three or four paces away, looking at me with a somewhat restrained and nervous expression. "You're going out to meet the daimyo in a while, Madame Snow asks you to go back and change your clothes!"

"Is it almost time?" I took out my pocket watch and looked at it, and sure enough, there was only half an hour left. I poked my head out of the window again, but this time downstairs.

Outside the castle tower, there are a large number of honor guards, which line up from the entrance of the hall to the gate of the inner castle, forming a well-defined corridor. A number of people dressed differently and flamboyantly were passing through the hallway, most of whom seemed to be deliberately avoiding contact with the others around them. Although I can't see their expressions here, I can roughly imagine their mood at the moment, which is not surprising at all, because I have imagined walking on such a road to heaven countless times.

"It's a lot like a swarm of ants!" A slight smile tugged at the corner of my mouth, and I turned and walked back to the inner room.

"Your Highness, please change your clothes!" Ah Xue was already standing at the door, holding a gorgeous robe in her hand and smiling at me.

"Oh......" I walked up to her and was about to stretch out my hand, but suddenly I felt that she was a little different today than usual, and I couldn't help but take a closer look.

Ah Xue has been pregnant for more than seven months, and the bulge in her abdomen is quite obvious, but because she belongs to a slender body and has not stopped exercising, she does not look bloated.

At this moment, Ah Xue was facing me, facing out of the door, and the golden sunlight was shining from behind me and spreading over her body, making her already fair skin have an almost transparent crystal. Her gaze and smile are serene and serene, giving a real sense of what is the holy beauty of an angel's arrival.

"You...... What's wrong with you? Sensing the abnormality of my expression, Ah Xue asked hesitantly.

"Beauty...... I think you're so beautiful! "My eyes were a little foggy for a moment.

"Your Highness!" A touch of blush climbed up her cheek, and she said with a twisted sneer.

"Swear by me?" I pulled my face half-truthfully and raised my right index, mid, and ring fingers in my ear. "If I have half a lie in front of Ah Xue, let me ...... heaven"

"Your Highness!" Ah Xue rushed up with an arrow and put a free hand on my mouth. In the end, it was the Ji warrior who had asked for the real handle Naotaka back then, and he was still so vigorous when he was pregnant. "Today's day when the stars are famous all over the world, don't say such unlucky words!" Her hands trembled slightly, and her face turned white.

"Is it that serious?" I stretched out my hands and asked her to put my clothes on for me. "Today's things may or may not be successful, and it is good to succeed, but it doesn't matter if it doesn't work. The world is now completely in my hands, but it is a matter of one day sooner or later. Besides, I don't think the name of General Zhengyi is not good, so I will simply abolish this position! ”

"This is the courage of His Highness to look down on the world and stand out from the crowd!" When I said this, she became excited again, helped me put on my robe, and carefully sorted out the details that were inappropriate. "Those guys downstairs are just some of their underdogs, and they really don't have anything to worry about, aren't they being trampled under our feet now? You just have to go on like this and say to them...... All right! "Finally she tidied it up for me, but she was a little tired because of the inconvenience of her body.

"You're right, those guys are nothing!" I kept my chest shy and tried to put on a haughty appearance.

Actually, I don't have much to do today, and I definitely can't even say the words "Shogun Seiyi" from my own mouth, everything has to be run by the Takenaka Hanbei and the Gamo clan. A few low-ranking people had been arranged in advance to put forward their opinions first, and then Takenaka and Gamo would start to guide them, and if this was compared to a war, then they would be the soldiers who really charged into battle.

So what is my role? Naturally, he is a commander who strategizes and commands thousands of troops. Maybe a slight movement of mine, or even a look, is enough to change the trend of the world from today onwards, but this time it is different from the time of the Eastern Expedition to Odawara, and I am not absolutely sure. But even if there is a way out, I have to do my best, even if it is for the sake of those who support me and trust me......

"By the way, why hasn't Xianzhi come back yet?" I had already turned around, but suddenly I remembered it. It's been almost a month since Xianzhi returned to Cheongju, and it stands to reason that he should come back.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you, according to the itinerary, it should be tomorrow!" Ah Xue took out the famous knife "Dai" again and handed it to me. "Didn't you arrange a full guard of honor for your lady and perform sacrifices according to the highest etiquette? So it's impossible to be that fast! ”

"Oh!" I picked up "Dai" and turned around and walked downstairs. "It's a shame, I actually let Ah Xue see my nervousness!" After turning a staircase, I waved my fist in annoyance.

The castle tower of Osaka Castle is indeed magnificent, but it is not without its faults, after all, there is no elevator in this era, although it can also be used as a human "elevator" similar to a wheel, but His Royal Highness the Shisei clan of the dignified stars can not let people carry it like goods!

I finally walked to the corridor on the second floor, where there were already a few people waiting, and when they saw me coming, they all lowered their heads, like a group of small followers meeting the big boss.

"Am I a little late?" I handed Dai, who greeted him, the only one who could enter with a long sword.

"How so!" The five ministers who followed him saluted together, and Ju Ting, who was the right minister, said with a flattering smile: "Since the righteous man, there has been no such thing as gathering all the great names in the world, and even then it was not to the level of all the daimyo above ten thousand stones. Things like what His Highness Zhuxing has done have really created an eternal prosperous era, and I believe that the two Highnesses will be very pleased when they hear about it! ”

"What an ornament!" It's no surprise that that's what I'm thinking when I look at the person in front of me at the moment.

The Emperor and the Imperial Court are the nominal administrators and supreme governing bodies of the country, but at the moment they are just an ornament on my body. I'm really excited at this point, maybe it's really not that important to succeed today.

"Don't let your Highnesses wait, let's go over!" I symbolically raised my hand and made a "please" gesture, and then walked first to the hall on the first floor.

"Your Highness Zhuxing Zuofu to ......" The two tall attendant warriors standing in front of the door sang in unison and opened the door from both sides. I don't know why, but the first thing I noticed was the myriad pairs of eyes.

"It's countless pairs of looking up eyes!" I said this to myself as I clutched the folding fan in my hand and strode in......
