Chapter 490: Ambition at the Time of Righteousness

The two talked for a while, and when they saw that it was getting late, they went back to their rooms to rest, and Kira Yoshitoki walked back to the room while thinking about today's short conversation, and suddenly caught a glimmer of inspiration in his mind to figure out the problem that had plagued him for a long time, and his heart suddenly became much easier, and his walking pace became more and more brisk.

At this time, it was time to hold the lamp, the maids were lighting candles everywhere to illuminate the spring palace in the sunset, Kira Yoshishi walked gently under the porch and smiled at the maids from time to time, Ping Suri never left the maids in trouble, and did not like to stand upright, and the easy-going nature of the approachable, let these subordinates be full of love and admiration for this noble princess from the bottom of their hearts.

If it weren't for the bad habit of Ji Liang Yoshishi to play with the maids with flowers, and the gentleness and beauty of several ladies in the palace and the gentleness and gentleness of each other, these maids might have stripped naked and went into the study to recommend themselves to the pillow mat, and the maids would have reciprocated with a bright smile on Kira Yoshitoki's smile, and the rather beautiful maids would deliberately twist their waists to show their extraordinary appearance.

The so-called rabbit does not eat the grass next to the nest. Kira Yoshishi didn't like to hook up with maids very much, and it was the stupidest act to burn the flames of war to his side, not to mention that the quality of his harem was the top level of the Warring States, and there was no need to hook up with these more ordinary-looking maids at all, and it was enough to watch them perform in front of him occasionally.

I was thinking about which lady's room to go to after dinner, but when I looked up, I saw Sandalwood standing in the cold summer looking at the sunset in a daze, holding a small note in her hand, but I didn't know what was written on it, and quietly walked to her side and coughed and said, "Sandalwood!" What are you looking at? ”

"Ahh It's Your Highness! Sandalwood hurriedly knelt down and saluted, and said in a panic: "The concubine didn't look at anything." It's just that...... In a daze......"

"Don't hide. Take out the note in your hand. Kira pointed to the arm she was hiding behind her back. As if an adult was pointing to a child who had made a mistake, he said, "Let Yu see what this is." ”

Sandalwood's face turned pale suddenly, trembling and taking out the arm hidden behind him, opening the palm of his hand, a palm-long note four fingers wide and a palm length with a few lines of handwriting written on it, Kira Yoshishi took the note and looked at it, but it read: "Find a way to let His Royal Highness Matsuchiyo find a few posterior people to serve as Fu Gong, and persuade His Royal Highness to use troops against Wakasa and Echizen when His Royal Highness is lucky, only by laying down these two places can the old man make more achievements." In the future, the name of my Numata family depends on the power of sandalwood! ”

A trace of gloom flashed on Kira Yoshitoki's face, and he scolded in his heart: "This Numata Mitsukane really doesn't know what to do, Yu asked you to come out to stir up strife in the family in order to blur the distinct camps of the various factions in the family, not for you to jump into Yu's harem and command your daughter Tiger to interfere in the formulation of my Ashikaga family's major policies!" What do you want to do so much to make meritorious contributions and improve your reputation? Do you really think that the concubine can also compete with the concubine for fame? Dream! ”

Raised his head and saw Numata Sandalwood trembling with fright, he didn't dare to look up at him, and secretly laughed at this little silly girl who pretended to be charming and coquettish when she first entered the door, trying to attract his attention, and it didn't take long for him to be wiped out by three or two blows, and with a fright, he was calmed, and then he could only restore his original face and honestly be a silly girl who gave birth to him.

Compared with Claudia, who is crazy and can't help herself, this sandalwood who pretends to be crazy is not a good idea, and she is very honest in the harem of Kira Yoshi, and only when the two are in love will they reveal some charm. Overall, she was still a stupid and stupid woman, or there were probably only one and a half who were really smart in the harem at the time of Kira Yoshi. That one is Claudia, who is still in the outer room, and that half is the tiger queen who was taught by Princess Aya.

He threw the note into the lantern under the porch, and in a moment it was burned to ashes by the candle: "Get up! What is the big deal about Yu Dang! You can talk to Yu about this little thing when you eat, but it's just a sentence that scares you, is Yu really the big demon king who kills people without blinking? Or does it look like the blue-faced fanged monster? ”

"The concubine has definitely never thought of it that way...... The concubine just ......" Sandalwood just stood up and hurriedly knelt down, and cried out aggrievedly before he could say a word: "The concubine's father urged Sandalwood to move forward under the palace several times to interfere in politics, and also put forward many unacceptable requests for Sandalwood, Sandalwood did not agree to his father's request once, and never mentioned any requirements in front of His Highness, please forgive Sandalwood for concealing it." ”

Numata Sandalwood didn't dare to intercede for her father, nothing was more important than her two biological flesh and blood at the moment, her status was not guaranteed, and those two poor children were about to be sent from a famous nephew to the eighteenth layer of hell, and then remembered her father's repeated hardships, this hard-working woman suddenly felt that her old man who had never fulfilled his father's responsibilities was so selfish and ruthless.

It seems that Numata Mitsukane has never thought about the importance of her daughter and the two children born to her daughter, and is always utilitarian thinking about how to get benefits from the system of the Ashikaga family, and how to use the influence of his daughter Sandalwood and granddaughter to do something beneficial to himself, which makes Sandalwood feel extremely sad and disappointed.

Numata Mitsukan had four wives before and after giving birth to more than 20 children for him, but this person neither had a sense of responsibility as a husband nor lacked the basic morality of being a father, in layman's terms, a husband did not have the consciousness of being a husband, a father did not have the appearance of a father, and he never even made any basic behavior to his children as a father, and he never loved his children, even if there was no one.

When he is needed, he can never find anyone, like a hard-working little bee into the flowers and grass, he was still hooking up with the maid when he gave birth to a child in his original main room, and he didn't appear until his wife had a difficult birth and the body was cold, such a strange thing can't blame his older sons for putting him under house arrest when Numata Mitsukaru is old to fight for the family business, with this father as an example, the son can learn to be good before he has a ghost.

Over the years, Numata Mitsukane has been like an enthusiastic salesman, selling his own beautiful daughters to the genealogical retainers of the Kira family, and he is eager to put his own daughters on the shelves and sell them at a clear price. Occasionally busy with other things, I just dedicate myself to art. From the waka tea ceremony ape music. From explaining the background of "The Tale of Genji", it is his most important thing, and it can be said that he is like an artist with no sense of responsibility and no discipline, forever drifting for the ideal goal he pursues.

This kind of temperament makes Numata Mitsukane's reputation in the Kira family very bad, whether it is the samurai of the eastern country or the samurai of Mikawa, they all dislike and mock this kind of person, but for the sake of Kira Yoshitoki and his sons-in-law's face, no one dares to show it in public, and it must be indispensable to be sarcastic and ridiculed in secret.

Mitsukan Numata's unsatisfactory mixing over the years also has something to do with this. He found several of his sons-in-law and complained a few times and was perfunctory in the past, and he thought that his sons-in-law were taking care of his old age and giving him a cheap and easy job.

As everyone knows, Ji Liang Yoshishi once said that he does not raise idlers, his idle job is equivalent to exposing himself to the public gaze, and he has nothing to do all day, so he can only devote the remaining energy to the great cause of art and flowers, and occasionally come up with some strange ideas, and write a letter to force his daughter to blow the pillow wind in the ears of Ji Liang in the name of "filial piety for children".

Numata Mitsukane didn't know that he had quietly offended many people, and this time he was knocked by Kira Yoshitoki and pushed his daughter to the edge of the cliff. At the same time, Numata Sandalwood made up his mind that no matter what punishment he receives, he will resolutely cut off contact with his father in the future. This crazy father must not be allowed to harm her children again.

Kira Yoshitoki didn't plan to deal with Numata Sandalwood at all, the wind was instigated by him, wouldn't it be stupid to blame his wife in turn, and stood up with Sandalwood in his hands and said: "Yu said that this is not a big deal, and if you meet your father to send you a message in the future, you will directly hand it over to Yu is!" This Numata Hikasaka is getting worse and worse, and he thought he could do what he could for Yu, but now it seems that he won't make things worse, and he's thankful. ”

Sandalwood experienced the impact of great sorrow and joy, buried in the arms of Kira Yoshitoki and assured him: "Thank you Your Highness for sparing the life of the concubine, from today onwards, the concubine will cut off contact with her father, and she will never listen to her father again in the future." ”

……

In the past few days, Kira Yoshitoki took Konoe to visit the facilities of Castle Town and Naoetsu Port, and introduced to him the development process of this new city in recent years, so that Konoe Maeji deeply realized that the Uega family has developed by leaps and bounds in recent years, and that the entire Sekigawa River basin alone has gathered 200,000 people, which is only the same number in Kyoto, where Yamashiro Province is located.

Konoe's former heir admits that he never thought that the bitter cold northern country could have such a large group of towns, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a new city, and praised Kira Yoshitoki's excellent domestic affairs skills and unbelievable economic methods, and in just over ten years, he has created a huge family business with multiple harvests in military agriculture and commerce, even a generation of British lords in history have seen this ability.

In the temple of Myokaku, the former heir of Konoe in the temple to the Tiger Ya Sect B chess discussion Zen and to the wind monk to ask for Buddhist teachings, in the temple for a few days before reluctant to return to the Kasuga mountain castle, back to the city did not forget to praise the Myokakuji temple Garan built in the town is really wonderful, a quiet in the middle of the scene to highlight the realm of Hokuriku Zen Buddhism, and praise the two monks Buddhism exquisite, every word can be thought-provoking.

On this day, Konoe's former heir returned from enjoying the snow in the courtyard, and when he saw Kira Yoshi, he said with a smile: "Yu is determined to change his name, but I don't know how to take the word 'long' instead of heir?" ”

"Will righteousness last long? My brother already has an heir, but he needs the imperial shogunate to be peaceful and stable for a long time, so it seems that it is indeed a good name! Then I congratulate my brother on getting a new name! "When Yoshitoki Kira saw Konoe's former heir change his name to Konoe Maehisa, he felt that he felt as if he had added a subtle sense of mission.

Claudia's fleet was ready to set sail back as soon as the new year, and before leaving, she got entangled with Kira Yoshishi and whispered the news that he was pregnant, Kira Yoshitoki was not surprised at all, he was worried about the safety of the long journey, and the little foreign girl told him not to worry that he was already fully prepared.

Claudia smiled and stroked his cheek, and whispered, "According to your proposal, I will let Captain John lead the fleet to privateer in the Atlantic, while the fleet of the former Argotic Chamber of Commerce will conduct the Black Triangle trade, and I will find a reason to go to the American continent as a colonial governor after I return to London." Our child will be born on a small island in the Caribbean. Have you figured out the name of your child? ”

"Edward York. He will be the king of the Caribbean in the future. Kira Yoshishi smirked: "It doesn't matter if you don't have London, as long as you can have a strong fleet, countless islands and a monopoly on trade in the North Atlantic, the nobles of London will submit to you, and I will do my best to be a strong backing for you and Edward." ”

Claudia smiled sweetly and closed her eyes and fell asleep, looking at the faint smile that bloomed on her face, Kira Yoshitoki's heart was far from as relaxed and confident as it seemed on the surface, Claudia was a strong, independent and strong woman who was not afraid of hardships and dangers. He has very little emotional dependence on Kira Yoshitoki, and the bond between the two is a child born in the future, and the other is eternal and unchanging interests.

He didn't even know how much love Claudia had in her heart, and how much of it was an instinctive action driven by desire, just like she had said to Kira Yoshishi on the day of her dedication, she just wanted to find a man who didn't seem to be annoying, and she happened to be the right person in her narrow social circle, so to speak, he was a shit luck guy.

Luck is lucky to be on a big boat, but how long he can ride it is a matter of concern, and Claudia's future achievements are very likely to surpass him. His unborn child, Edward York, will have a huge fortune on his shoulders, which means that he will probably not be able to influence her and the child. It would be very dangerous for him.

Claudia will go to the Atlantic Ocean thousands of miles away to carry out privateering trade activities in the near future, which means that Kira Yoshitoki will not be able to restrain this ambitious and powerful woman with her feelings, and when she fights for a piece of the world overseas, will she remember that she once had a lover who was thousands of miles away? Will Edward miss this man who has never fulfilled his father's responsibilities?

At the beginning, he was hot in his head to grasp this crazy woman, and he did not hesitate to propose a plan for privateering at sea and the black triangle trade, but now that he thinks about it, he is probably cocooning himself, he knows very well that this woman is by no means as fragile as an ordinary woman, she dares to go to sea at the age of ten, and she dares to enter the Tower of London alone at the age of twelve, how can she be an ordinary woman.

When she fights alone at sea and breaks off contact with Kirayoshi, the already fragile relationship between the two will gradually deteriorate and corrupt, and the endless wealth brought by the constant privateering and the Black Triangle trade will make her one of the most powerful women in the Kingdom of England, and her future must be the most powerful aristocracy in London, which makes him a man in a southerly corner how can he endure it.

Rhetoric is worthless in the eyes of a wise man, and no amount of the wonderful vision he describes for Claudia can hide his lack of influence on the Atlantic, and he is not even the supreme king of a region, so what can he do to satisfy Claudia's future demands? When she needs you, you are not there, you can't help her when she needs your help, and the relationship will gradually come to an end.

"Kanto! The more this is the case, the more we need to expand...... "Kira Yoshishi held the soft body of the little foreign girl, and the desire for power in his heart was a little more intense, no power means losing everything in front of him, just like without tens of thousands of tigers, wolves and lions, there would be no iron-blooded prestige of the Ashikaga family, he needed higher prestige, stronger strength and more crazy expansion.

Although it sounds quite nonsense, but the heroes of the ages still have a moment of sadness over the beauty pass, not to mention that he is just an ordinary man who is caught in the red dust of seven emotions and six desires and struggles, Kira Yoshitoki and Claudia, the couple who were unexpectedly combined under the guidance of fate, are full of countless variables and accidents, making Kira Yoshitoki, who is calm and almost desireless, also feel extremely pressured.

The strange relationship between the two is not something that can be summed up by simple love, or that there is no decent love between the couple at all, I have only met a few times and there is a gap of a few years in between, and the two people who have completely different outlooks on life, worldview and values seem to live in two parallel worlds, but they suddenly change their respective directions in an accident and meet and successfully roll the sheets.

Her feelings for him are complicated, there are curiosity, exploration and many good feelings, but this is not love, nor is it a reason to stay together, he never thought of having emotional or physical entanglements with her, he has a successful life, a beautiful wife, and a great future, which is worth fighting for and a good life management, but under their different reasons, she and he have to fight for their respective goals, this is the power of fate, always revealing an unpredictable mystery.

Christine was finally eaten by him, this stupid girl had long been bewitched by Claudia, the enchantress, and was dizzy and didn't know the east and west, so she plucked up the courage to sacrifice her delicate body on the last night of parting, Claudia was diagnosed with four weeks of pregnancy and was not suitable for intense love, so she simply lay naked on the bed and admired the fierce exercise between the man and Christine.

Her blue eyes were as bright as starry and dazzling, and at that moment, Kira Yoshitomi unintentionally noticed that under her misty eyes, there was a strange smile on the corner of her mouth, and his heart sank slightly, and then he tried to rise and fall on Christine's body, and he was more and more sure that this woman's mind was different, and said secretly: "This is probably the most mysterious and difficult woman I have ever seen!" ”

Early the next morning, the York set sail outside the port of Naoetsu, Claudia and Christine stood on the side of the ship and waved goodbye to him, Claudia's face was full of happy smiles, holding up the beautiful cypress fan he gave her like a triumphant female general, and the newly broken Christine stood behind Claudia and waved goodbye to him.

Unlike Claudia's sense of misalignment, which seems to have the wrong smile on the wrong occasion, Christine is full of inexplicable attachment to the man who took her body, like a couple in love who always has countless thoughts when they are separated at first time, but in fact she doesn't know whether this man has loved her or not.

Love is blinding, and simple girls are even more so, compared to Christine, who is much more normal than Claudia, he saw Christini holding the mandarin duck handkerchief that Ji Liang gave her tightly and waved goodbye with a smile, this woman is essentially the same as several women in the Kasuga Palace, nothing more than a foreign girl attribute, and the attraction to Ji Liang is really limited.

When the Nanban fleet gradually disappeared into the sky, Kira Yoshiki gradually turned to General Ma Hui and instructed him: "Order the main hall of Uesugi to quickly reorganize the army, and the rest must take the entire territory of Musashi Province within three months, and the goal of this Kanto Expedition will be...... Sagami Odawara! (To be continued......)
