Volume 6, Whose Family Is the World 103, Morning in Nara (II)

Xinqing was walking towards me, but he stopped a few steps halfway through, because he had to deal with a few words because several people caught up from behind. Or maybe they were coming out of the crowd that had been waiting there before, because there were so many people that I couldn't see clearly.

There weren't a lot of conversations, and there shouldn't have been more than ten sentences in total, and then it seemed like something had been agreed. The men came along with Xinqing, but they didn't bring any of their attendants with them.

"It's really rare, and several highnesses also have this kind of interest!" Although I didn't have to go out to greet him, I still stood up, smiled at the few people behind Xinqing, and raised my hand.

"It's too hard to see you now, why don't you seize such an opportunity?" It was Ikeda Tsuneko who spoke first, and he was the only one who would talk to me like that now. Several people around him are also all of similar identities, that is, not only must they be strong, but their qualifications must not be too shallow.

With the passage of time, the world has changed, and there are not many old daimyo left, just like these people at this moment, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Mori Terumoto, Ikeda Tsuneko, Shimazu Yoshihisa, Maeda Toshinaga, Date Masamune, and Gamo Clan. In fact, the last three are half a generation lower in terms of qualifications, but they can barely be said.

Maeda Toshiya has long since abdicated, and it is said that he is in very poor health now, and I have sent people to visit me several times, but if I bring it back, it will only be a matter of one day earlier and one day later! There are really no people who are half a generation older than me, and they have nothing to do with this era.

Although some other people are still in good health, they have also retired one after another in recent years, such as Ouchi Yoshitomi, Niko Yoshihisa, Mogami Yoshimitsu, Satake Yoshishige and even Nagano Yosei, who not only gave up the position of the governor, but also gradually faded out of politics and came to Osaka and Kyoto infrequently.

In fact, Tokugawa Ieyasu has also passed the throne to Kiyotada, but because of the "influence" of the shogunate, he has held an important position in the imperial court, if it were not for this, I am afraid that he will always be in the Mutsu and will not come out again.

"I don't care, I'm just afraid of causing you trouble!" I sat back down on the maza. He motioned for a few of them to sit down. "I'm very relaxed in Sakai Town, reading books and fishing all day long. It's just that if you come back to see me every time you come to Osaka, it will take a lot of work. Besides, it's not good to refuse others after meeting you, so after thinking about it again, it's better to have two ponies!"

These words caused a soft laugh, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot, and I even saw a few very hidden eyes, presumably exchanging information with each other. Inquire into some kind of secret.

"I didn't expect you to have such fun now, and still be outside on a snowy day!" Ikeda Hengxing's personality caused him to be a little less concerned, so he asked directly after holding back for less than a minute. "Is it really just to enjoy the snow when you come out so early, then at least you have to go to a place with plum blossoms?"

"Not really!" To everyone's surprise, I answered this question directly and clearly. "I'm here to wait for someone, and he'll come to Nara today!"

Date Masamune had just taken off his gloves when he heard my words, and a miniature copper stove in his palm almost fell to the ground. Thanks to him stabilizing his mind in time, one eye was still full of shock and stunned.

Please don't blame him for being rare and weird, almost no one notices his gaffe at the moment, because their reaction is not as good as Date Masamune's. I don't care about finding fault with others anymore.

Single-handedly grasp the world. The Zhuxing Qing clan, who controlled the life and death of the daimyo of the sixty-six countries, would actually get up in the middle of the night and go to the suburbs to greet someone? Oh my God, the end of the world is coming!

This Star Highness has been living in seclusion in Dragon Mountain City for many years. Moreover, the reputation of tolerance and benevolence has long spread all over the world, but people such as Tokugawa Ieyasu, Date Masamune, and Shimazu Yoshihisa in front of them will not have any misunderstanding because of this, and they will not have any "misunderstanding" about this highness of the stars who now has no office and no power!

Tokugawa Ieyasu was the calmest one, but he couldn't help but jump twice out of the corners of his eyes when he stared at me, and he would not doubt that these hands still actually held the authority of the world.

"Maybe at this moment, their hearts are all filled with curiosity!" I casually swept my gaze over each of their faces, and I was very satisfied with their reaction, if I couldn't shock people with the power of thunder and rain, then what was the point of being a superior person?

Slowly lowered his eyes. However, my mind remained with Tokugawa Ieyasu, and my memory drifted back to the distant past. This has dragged on for too long, and I can't afford to push this responsibility down any longer......

At this moment, several people, including Xinqing, had noticed that although the small table in front of me was full of refreshments, it was obvious from the way they were placed that they had not touched it at all. A snow-white long-necked porcelain teapot sits in a thermos, emitting a faint scented heat.

They had been sitting for a while, and not only did I not give orders for tea, but it was a great wonder to me, who had always been gentle and polite, and the only explanation was that the guest had not yet appeared. It's so worthy of "respect"!

"Ahem, ahem!" Ikeda raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed lightly, as if he couldn't help it. "Forgive me for being rude, Your Highness the Stars, what the hell ......are you waiting for?"

"Listen!" I held up a finger to stop his words, and whispered to the crowd, "Here we are!"

When I said this, everyone was stunned, squinted their eyes slightly, and searched in the air. There was still no wind, only snowflakes falling silently.

Finally, a slight bell slowly came, and one after another entered people's ears, and the rhythm was so slow that it could not even catch up with the wind chimes. All eyes instinctively turned in the direction from which the sound came, and saw a team of ox carts carrying snowflakes slowly coming from the official road to the north.

It is not accurate to say that it is a team, and there are only two in total, although it seems to be a good palace car, but there is no banner and no entourage, which inevitably looks a little shabby.

There are all people here who have a certain vision, and it seems that the mid-range ministers will naturally not enter their eyes, but since it is my Zhuxing Qing clan who is waiting here early, then the nature of everything is completely different.

What I just said was only heard by a few people in the pavilion, and it was naturally impossible for the daimyo who were waiting in the distance outside to know about this change.

Many people didn't even realize the arrival of these two palace cars until I stepped out of the pavilion to greet them.

Seeing us people standing on the side of the road, the emperor was obviously frightened, and pulled the ox to look behind him as if he was really seeking help. The few people who walked with the car like eunuchs more than like samurai obviously didn't expect this situation, and leaned in front of the car window muttering something.

Ignoring everyone's confusion and offering no explanation, I took two steps closer to the car, despite the dissuasion of my attendants. "For the ministers of the Xingqing clan, I am here to greet His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhengren Palace!"

"It turned out to be Prince Zhengrengong! No wonder...... Isn't that Prince Zhengrengong? He's the oldest!" This may be the thinking of most of the people present at the moment, as if this reality is not enough to explain the suspicion just now.

Who am I? What is the identity? These questions have long been answered, and as for Prince Masahin, not many people will care about it in the past time.

More than ten years ago, I greeted the emperor at Jurakudi in Kyoto, and there were two of them at a time, and even then I was just standing outside the gate of Jurakudi, and no one thought there was anything wrong with that. It is an unbelievable thing to go out to the suburbs in advance like today.

On the contrary, Prince Zhengren Palace is not famous at all, and he is simply unknown among the many princes and royal brothers of today's emperor, and the few people who have heard of this name can only be sure of one thing: the throne is probably not related to this prince!

"For the minister, xxxx see His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhengren Palace!" No matter how puzzled, I can't be stunned at the moment, and under the leadership of Xinqing, the others also bowed down to greet each other, but there were many people with mixed names and did not report Qingwu

At this time, Kihisa had already jumped out of the second car and hurried a few steps to the front. "His Royal Highness the Prince's original intention was to pray for His Majesty in Nara, but I don't want to work until Your Highness!" As he spoke, he leaned out and lifted the curtain of the first car. "Please come forward to comfort the protection of the world!"

Prince Masahito got out of the carriage, and the tall black hat that poked out first looked a little incongruous on the head of such a young man, and it was still the frugal court dress, and there were still no too many accessories.

Many people were secretly looking at His Royal Highness the Prince Prince, who was not good-looking and unknown, and they were quickly calculating in their hearts the possible consequences of this sudden information. There is no doubt that from this moment on, the situation in the imperial court will be turned upside down, and perhaps it will affect a wider area.

"I don't dare to be so respectful to His Highness the Stars and the guardians of the world!" Prince Zhengren Gong stood in the seat where the emperor was just sitting and bowed to us people and returned the salute.

"His Royal Highness the Prince has been passed down from generation to generation, and we are all inspired to come!" Without giving anyone much time to buffer, I walked up and took the whip from the overwhelmed master, and with the other hand took the reins of the ox and walked forward.

"Father...... I'll do it anyway!" As soon as I reacted, Xinqing rushed forward to take my place.

"No, just follow behind!" I shook my head.

Nobukiyo could only helplessly follow behind the car, and the cheeks of Kihisa Zhimeiin had turned blood-red with excitement, and Tokugawa Ieyasu and the others wordlessly lined up behind Nobukiyo.

We slowly walked into the city of Nara in such a strange procession, and hundreds of daimyo from all over the world knelt on both sides of the road in front of us, and only after the car drove past them did they get up from the snow and follow the line, which made the group grow stronger and stronger......
