Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Ministers Have No Two Hearts
P.S: According to the official history, Shigeharu Takenaka had died of illness in the seventh year of Tensho, and this book has been changed for the needs of the plot, after all, it is a time-traveling novel, and it is not completely confined to history.
Oda Nobunaga was suspicious of the ** group he was in because of Takenaka's words, and he left Takenaka Shigeji behind regardless of the other party's exhaustion, in order to make further temptations.
But when he got Takenaka's answer, the doubts in his heart gradually disappeared.
It turned out that at the invitation of Prince Hohito, Oda Nobunaga rushed to Ouchi to attend the tea party, but found that all the ministers were present, but the only thing missing was Nakano Island Turtle, who was said to have suffered from a cold at night and was recuperating at home.
The so-called drunkard does not mean to drink, and Oda Nobunaga saw this posture and knew that the tea at this tea party was not easy to swallow.
Sure enough, halfway through the tea party, the ministers said that Oda Nobunaga had contributed to the pacification of the war, and asked Prince Baohito to be the emperor of tomorrow and promoted Nobunaga to the general of the expedition. And Prince Hohito immediately agreed, believing that Oda Nobunaga deserved his appointment as a general, and asked him for his opinion in person with courtesy.
Oda Nobunaga refused on the spot without hesitation, and the former general Ashikaga Yoshiaki was personally ousted by him and sent to a barren land, for which Nobunaga had already stated that he would never become the next general if he abolished the shogunate.
This time, these sour ministers actually brought up this matter again, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki is still alive, if Nobunaga agrees and becomes the new general, he will undoubtedly put himself in the furnace and become the laughing stock of the world, not to mention, and give many people a reason to go to Luo.
Seeing that Oda Nobunaga refused to accept the post of general, the ministers proposed that Nobunaga be promoted to Sekihaku.
Oda Nobunaga is even more sneering, compared to the general, Sekihaku is an official position with the power to bully the emperor, it is more notorious than the general, as a generation of heroes, he knows that politics is like a double-edged sword of the Ming Kingdom, and if you don't get it right, you will hurt yourself.
Therefore, Oda Nobunaga categorically refused on the spot, and the most angry thing was the Minister of the Interior, Kikutei Haruki, who was not only late, but also insinuated that Nobunaga's soldiers did not know how to be polite, and swore that Nobunaga did not obey the arrangements of the imperial court, did not respect the law, and dared to refuse the emperor's reward.
Needless to say, Oda Nobunaga also knew that today's events, these ministers must have already tested the emperor's tone, but they were not at ease with their military power, and they wanted to put a tight spell on themselves, and let themselves become the target of the public.
Looking at their false faces, Oda Nobunaga's intuitive internal organs seemed to be angry, and he said secretly: If it weren't for the success of my Oda Nobunaga Shangluo and the pacification of the war, where would you parasites live a life of fine clothes and food again, eat me, take me, don't do anything for me, and still make trouble in the rear, it seems that I, Nobunaga, am really merciful to these people, and I will definitely drive this hereditary nobleman and sour people out of Kyoto in the future.
However, due to the constraints of emotion and morality at that time, Oda Nobunaga still confessed his loyalty to the emperor after refusing, saying that he had no intention of becoming an official, and that after the world was calm, he would live in seclusion in the mountains and forests. With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.
An elegant tea party, so it broke up.
However, Nobunaga's hasty handling of the matter was inappropriate. The reason why the emperor and the ministers were kind to her was not only to rely on his big tree, but also to test his ambitions. Give it to the general, you don't do it, give you Guan Bai, and you still shirk, so what do you want in the end, these people unanimously believe in their hearts that what Nobunaga wants is only the emperor.
Of course, Oda Nobunaga has never revealed that he will one day replace the emperor, throughout the history of Japan, although the emperor has never been overthrown, and the throne has not been replaced, but the imperial power has been lost most of the time, therefore, in the hearts of the Japanese, the emperor exists as a god, can be set aside, can be regarded as nothing, but can not be replaced.
Oda Nobunaga used this to test Shigeharu Takenaka, and if the other party suggested that he accept the position of shogun or Sekihaku, it proved that he and Hashiba Hideyoshi had two hearts.
As a result, Shigeharu Takenaka's answer was very satisfactory to him, and the other party not only advised him that he would never accept the general and Sekihaku, but also that his concerns were even more long-term than him, that is, after the troubled times were calmed down, it would be natural to want to be a shogun and Sekihaku, and he could even ask the emperor to give him a new title, and at that time no one would have the heart to oppose and resist.
This answer made Oda Nobunaga's hanging heart let go slightly, and when he saw Takenaka's weakened affection, he sighed heavily and shouted, "Someone." ”
Nobunaga's original intention was to send Shigeharu Takenaka back to the samurai kan to rest, but after a sound, no one answered.
After Oda Nobunaga shouted "coming" three times in a row, he heard someone hurriedly answer, and the paper door was opened, and it was Long Shaocong.
It turned out that it was his turn to be on duty tonight, but he didn't respond in time, and the answer was not that he was derelict in his duties, but that all he was thinking about was Princess Xiuzi, and the woman he loved was about to marry someone else's wife, how could he not let the infatuated young man turn around.
As soon as he thought that this was Oda Nobunaga's arrangement, he wanted to rush in and fight with this future father-in-law, of course, this was his wishful thinking, his son-in-law, Oda Nobunaga never admitted it.
Seeing Long Shaocong kneeling outside the house, Oda Nobunaga's anger didn't come to a place, and he just wanted to ask him for the crime of negligence, when he suddenly heard Shigeharu Takenaka laugh and said: "Oh, it turned out to be your ......" After speaking, he couldn't help coughing twice.
Long Shaocong looked up, recognized the other party, and hurriedly returned the salute.
Oda Nobunaga saw that the two actually knew each other, which was very strange, and he was busy asking what was going on.
Focusing on the heavy governance, he briefly recounted what happened on the two main roads during the day.
When Oda Nobunaga heard this, he suddenly realized, no wonder at the tea party, the chrysanthemum pavilion was unusual, very disrespectful to himself, and insinuated that he could not manage his subordinates well, and it turned out that it was Long Shaocong who caused him to blame.
In his heart, he silently made a note on Long Shaocong.
However, he still admires Long Shaocong very much for his unafraid of the powerful and his actions of drawing a knife to help someone in danger, and he saved his own family.
So, he not only forgave Long Shaocong for the sin of negligence, but also introduced Long Shaocong to Takenaka with great interest.
Shigeharu Takenaka also admired the young man in front of him, and couldn't help nodding his head in praise of Long Shaocong's performance in the Oda family, but suddenly he coughed wildly and spit out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing this, Oda Nobunaga hurriedly sent someone to pass on the medical officer, but Takenaka Shigeji waved his hand and said: "His Royal Highness Nobunaga, there is no need to worry about Weichen, now the reincarnation is no longer plastered, and time is running out, this time I came to see the lord again before he died, and secondly, to keep the bloodline of Kuroda Takada, and now my wish has been fulfilled......"
Before he finished speaking, there was another cough, and Oda Nobunaga couldn't help but sigh heavily when he saw such a loyal courtier......
At this time, Long Shaocong, who was on the side, couldn't help but be extremely shocked when he learned that the person he saved during the day was the famous Takenaka Hanbei Shigeji in the Warring States Period, this person was comparable to Guo Jia in the Three Kingdoms.
And his fate is like Guo Jia, he died young in his thirties, in the history of the Warring States period of Japan that Long Shaocong knows, Shigeharu Takenaka should have died in front of the army, and the specific date is of course not clear. But no matter what, he won't die in Nobunaga's mansion.
Could it be that the historical record is wrong, or is it my unintentional crossing, which has a butterfly effect and changed the direction of history......
When he saw Shigeji Takenaka, who couldn't stop coughing, he remembered that the history books recorded that this person died of tuberculosis, and the medical skills of Japan at that time were helpless about it.
Alas...... Thinking of this, Long Shaocong couldn't help but sigh, the Japanese medical skills of the Warring States Period were far less developed than those of later generations, if ...... What if it is Chinese medicine in this era?
Long Shaocong's eyes suddenly lit up, thinking of the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing" and "Qianjinfang" that he saw in the old man's house in Xiangzawa, he couldn't help but say: "Report to the lord, I know one person, and I can save the ...... of the emperor."
