107. The posture of the Shimazu family

"The envoy of the Shimazu family, Hisashi Kayama, greets His Royal Highness the Senator of the Stars!" The person in front of him bent down deeply, pressed his palms to the ground, and pressed his forehead tightly against it.

"Get up!" I said slowly in a tone that was sufficient to reflect my noble status and majesty, and in order to match the momentum I had created, the rest of the people in the audience stared at him with tense faces.

The messenger from the Shimazu family came so quickly that I didn't even have time to make a mental preparation, and the specific conditions should have been discussed, but now it is too late. According to the usual practice, I, as the victorious side, have every reason to "dry" them for ten days and half a month, but now I don't have so much time to delay, everything in is still waiting for me!

Since it's too late to prepare, I won't prepare, but as the identity of the overlord of one side, I can't be too lonely around me, but fortunately, Otomo Sorin, Ito Yoshiyu and Ito Yoshiyu are both close to the left, plus the dozen or so famous generals around me are about the same.

"Foreign Minister Xie Zhuxing, His Royal Highness is magnanimous!" The messenger thanked him and straightened up, but he still lowered his eyelids and did not look at me. He and I didn't speak for a while, and the room was a little cold.

This is an ordinary-looking person, with an ordinary rectangular face that looks a little gray, and two slender eyes with single eyelids are always half-closed, and there is no energy. Judging from his expression, his performance is a little wooden, and it is not an exaggeration to even call him sluggish. I feel that this is a peasant in a shoddy samurai uniform, or a farmer in an isolated area.

"Actually sending such a person, is the Shimazu family such a sincerity?" I looked at the person in front of me and felt a little angry, he was not famous at all (at least I hadn't heard of it) and he was only in his twenties, and he didn't look like a character with much weight. "You say...... What is your name here! I said this deliberately with extreme contempt.

"The minister's name is Kayama Hidaka!" The messenger was not in a hurry, for fear that I would not understand, and stretched out his hand to gesture at the words.

"What is your position in the Shimazu family, and you should speak in front of His Highness the Stars when you are nameless!" If it's inconvenient for me to say something, someone else will say it for me, and Ito Yoshiyu shouted angrily. He has a bitter hatred for the Shimazu family, so he doesn't need to disguise his emotions.

"The Birch Mountain clan was originally a branch of the Shimazu family, and they have been old members of the family for generations!" Hisakama still had the same dull and wooden expression, but turned his face slightly in the direction of Ito Yoshiyu.

This Kayama Hisaka is still a relative of the Shimazu family.,This makes me think it's a little reasonable.,I wasn't very familiar with the people of the Shimazu family before.,In addition to the four brothers, I've heard of Shinna Motochu.、Ijiin.、Tanegashima have a few of them.。 However, as a matter of life and death, I think the Shimazu family should still send one of the brothers, and the "dumb melon" in front of me seems to be just able to say it clearly.

"In Xia Bucai, at the age of twenty-three, he has not established any merits, and what His Highness Ito said is indeed good to be lonely and nameless!" I didn't expect that there was something to say under the birch mountain Hisagao, but it still looked very mechanical. "As a samurai, you can't make a name for yourself in the world and make contributions to the field, it's really a shame to your ancestors. To this day, Zai Xia is only keeping an inheritance left by his father, so as not to send people to the fence to look up to people. There is really nothing to say about a junior like me, so let His Highness Ito laugh! With that, he turned his head and stopped looking at Yoshisuke Ito.

"You!" Ito Yoshiyu's old face flushed, and he reached out and grabbed the hilt of the knife tightly. Naturally he wanted to slash this hateful creature in front of his eyes at once, but he could barely suppress his anger when he looked at me, but his chest was still rising and falling violently.

These words also shocked me a lot, and I couldn't help but take a closer look at the person in front of me. If a hillbilly-like Hisataka Kayama can say such a thing, what kind of surprise can this Shimazu family create for me?

"What is the matter with Lord Birch Mountain coming here?" Takenaka's half-guard asked for me.

"As an envoy of the Shimazu family, I came to meet His Highness the Stars, and asked His Highness the Stars to ask for sins and surrender!" Hisataka Kayama's words were clear and concise, and he explained the meaning of the intention concisely.

"Hmm!" I nodded slightly, and quickly glanced at the half-guards in Takenaka. The Shimazu family is finally soft, and it can be said that the posture has been lowered to the extreme, and other words should be easy to talk about.

"Since the Lord is the envoy of the Shimazu family, then I guess this is also what His Highness Yoshihisa meant. As long as the Shimazu family is guilty and begs for change, His Highness Zhuxing will also ask for forgiveness for the Shimazu family in the court! Hanbei Takenaka's tone softened a little, and now it should make the Shimazu family a little more relaxed.

"It is indeed with the sincerity of the contemptible lord that the Shimazu family will ask the court for guilt and sincerity!" Birshan's Hisataka owed a slight upward debt, which was a sign of apology. "But the Shimazu family is located at the end of the world, far away from Kyoto, and I don't know how to educate. To this day, the Shimazu family still doesn't know what crime they have committed, but this must not be what your Highnesses and adults really care about! ”

It's quiet, it's so quiet in the house! If you listen carefully, it seems that the aftermath of Hisataka Kayama's last sentence is still echoing in the room. Most of the people here are people who have been through the storm for a long time, but I am afraid that the envoy who spoke like this is only the first time he has seen it.

I now suspect that the Shimazu family does not want to surrender at all, and that sending such a person over would be sincerely disgusting to me. Today has opened my eyes, and now it may be time to think carefully about how to completely eliminate the Shimazu family.

"It's so rude!" After calming down, Otomo Zonglin shouted out suddenly, the fat on his face trembled vigorously, and the two swollen eye bubbles looked even more bulging. "The Shimazu family is guilty of causing chaos and harassing the local area, attacking the guards appointed by the imperial court and the shogunate for no reason, wantonly encroaching on other people's land, and brutally and brutally killing many officials with military positions, these are all irrefutable crimes of rebellion, and the evidence is ironclad for all to see, do you have anything to refute?"

"That's all there is to it...... It's really teachable! In the ignorance of the next, today I am fortunate to have the guidance of His Royal Highness Otomo, I am really grateful! Birshan's long-standing expression suddenly dawned on him, and this expression made his ordinary and dull face even more sincere. My Shimazu family is just some villagers and fishermen, and I am not as proficient in the righteousness of the imperial court as His Royal Highness Otomo, and even such a pitiful source of life is also coveted by others, so I can only fight hard. Today, after listening to His Highness Ouchi's lofty remarks, I realized that these are all heinous acts. In that case, please ask His Highness Otomo to bother to advise who has never done such an act in this Kyushu place? Speak up and listen to it, so that my Shimazu family can serve as a model and follow suit wholeheartedly! ”

"You...... You...... You're too ......" Otomo Sorin's fingers trembled vigorously at Birshan's high fingers, but he couldn't say a word, his fat face was red and purple, purple and white, and there were already signs of cerebral hemorrhage.

I sat there watching it all, and anger welled up in my heart. Don't get me wrong, I don't have empathy for the humiliation of Yoshisuke Ito and Sorin, but I am indignant at the Shimazu family's ignorance of current affairs. I motioned to the Takenaka Hanbei with my eyes that if we had to give an ultimatum, it would be better to say it from our own mouths.

"According to Kayama-sama, the Shimazu family is really confident!" Takenaka Hanbei said with a smile, but there was already a hint of chill in his smile. "Since the Shimazu family has a clear conscience, what else do adults have to say when they come here? Your Excellency can go back with this intention, and Your Highness Zhuxing can only carry out the will of the imperial court! ”

"The contemptible lord actually has another sentence for His Highness to bring to His Highness Zhuxing, that is: The sin of the Shimazu family, the sin is not in man but in heaven!" For the first time, Hisataka Kayama's face got rid of his wooden expression, and he looked solemn and solemn.

"How do you say that?" As soon as Takenaka Hanbei opened his mouth, I asked myself.

"Your Highness the Stars, that's what the contemptible lord said!" Hisaka's tone was a little heavy, but there was no sadness on his face. “…… The Shimazu family is united in their own internal affairs and strategy, but they are trapped in the south of Kyushu. Whether it's working hard or breaking the boat, it's hard to make progress in the end. Especially since His Highness went west, the Shimazu family has never been afraid of fighting several times, and has neither lacked courage nor victory, but the result is that the Shimazu family has become weaker and weaker, and His Highness has become stronger and stronger. It can be seen from this that the sin of Shimazu, the sin lies in the sky, and last night's incident was the last effort of the Shimazu family, since God insisted on condemning the Shimazu family and pretending to be the hands of His Highness Zhuxing, then my Shimazu family is ready to surrender unconditionally, and everything is at the disposal of His Highness! With that, he knelt down in front of me.

"Your Highness, the ambition of the wolf son of the Shimazu family should not be trusted!" Otomo Sorin's said hurriedly. He wished that the Shimazu family would die, and Ito Yoshisuke immediately agreed.

My heart was turned upside down, and the attitude of the Shimazu family made it difficult for me to choose. Maybe the Shimazu family is really solid at this moment, but their unruly attitude really worries me, I may be able to live, but what about my son in the future? But maybe I can say yes and then find a chance to get rid of them once and for all.

"Why didn't Yoshihisa Shimazu and the others come in person?" Seeing that I didn't say anything, the half-guard in Takenaka asked himself.

"The contemptible lord is just arranging the aftermath, and he will go to His Highness Zhuxing here tonight!"

"That'...... Then he didn't say anything for you to bring it? "Takenaka Hanbei was a little caught off guard, and the attitude of the Shimazu family was very unexpected for us.

"Yes!" After receiving permission, Hisaka Kayama's attendant was called into the tent, holding two swords in his hand, one of which was the "Dai" I had lost in Lihepu.

"It's too presumptuous!"

"It's rude!"

I have been wearing this sword for the longest time, so many people know it, and many of my generals could not help but reprimand it loudly when it was presented to me so clearly.

In the midst of the noise, I picked up another knife that had been presented to me and pulled it out with a thud. In the flash of the knife, everyone was stunned, and their mouths grew in astonishment for a while. "I accept the request of the Shimazu family, let the four brothers come over!" I put the knife back into its sheath.
