No one who can go to a high position is a fool.

Only outsiders who don't care, and those who are outside the core, think that the extermination of the Uchiha family is a sudden accident.

Those who have a heart already know that the arrow is on the string and has to be sent.

"If, without my influence, it should be half a year to a year of preparation to be launched, it depends on when Shimura Danzou will be able to preliminarily master the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye of Uchiha Shisui."

Closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, Furusugi Fusui leaned back in his chair and thought about his future plans, while Momiji pressed his somewhat stiff shoulders very considerately.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

I don't know how long it took, Gu Shanbushui opened his eyes, seemed to remember something, and asked abruptly:

"Your letter of appointment has come down, how do you feel?"

"It's just an idle errand, and the ladies of the court won't let me, a new young man, get close to me, and all I can do is to review the newspapers, magazines, and publishing documents submitted from all over the world. As a matter of fact, the only functions and powers are reduced to decorations, and they are only discussed without review, and if they are not publications that clearly violate the law and public order and good customs, they will not wear small shoes......"

"The real power of the pension place and the springboard for arranging subordination has long been taken away by the Ministry of Governance and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. The central government tends to be clear, does not manage general affairs, does not do specific things, and will not be contaminated with right and wrong. ”

Of course, it is not absolute, and the ministers of the Imperial Government and the senators below the left and right ministers are all big people who hold real power in the field.

The duties of Zhong Nayan are similar to the "Yellow Gate" of communication inside and outside, of course, this is not a eunuch, but a noble official; Da Nayan is equivalent to the secretary general of the cabinet, turning various major policies into the invisible prime minister who issues and implements actual executive orders.

Any system will leave a yamen who doesn't care about anything, seems noble, but in fact has nothing, just to facilitate people like Gu Shanbushui to get on and off, arrange cronies, or as a reward for people to eat empty salaries.

If you have taken the floating wealth and saved face, don't make trouble in the real affairs department.

Gu Shanbushui had never used such privileges before, mainly because there were too few family members, and close relatives also had serious jobs, so there was no need to go through the back door.

"The work is really laid-back, and no one bothers me. The official office also sent more than a dozen attendants over, saying that the minister had personally taken care of them. ”

"Don't think about it, it was assigned by the daimyo himself."

Gu Shanbu Shui said casually,

"Just leave the official things to them, and if you have any ideas, you can also give orders. Within the scope of the authority, you can. ”

"As long as it stands, it is okay to have jurisdiction in name only?"

"Of course."

Gu Shanbushui smiled proudly,

"Others don't have this treatment, you can. There is the Gu Sugi clan standing behind him, as long as it is not a matter of anger and resentment, someone will give face. ”

For example, nominally Shao Nayan is the private secretary of the daimyo, and all the correspondence is qualified to handle it, but the boss is responsible for important matters, and Shao Nayan mostly deals with such as culture, health, etiquette, clan marriage, funeral, etc., and is also a harem cultural consultant, part-time compilation of living notes, court observations, miscellaneous records, etc.

You don't have to worry about serious things, and no one really thinks that the Gusugi family wants to have any important influence through the red leaves, and the authority of Mohu that seems to be able to intervene in everything is more interesting.

"That'...... I'm going to buy a cultural and creative club, didn't the young master say before that to conquer people's hearts, we need more powerful cultural communication? Recently, the film industry has been very hot, and several influential big stars have emerged. By the way, the 'proofreading advisory group' under the command of the young master is borrowed from me, and they are more experienced......"

"Okay!"

If it weren't for the red leaves, Gu Shanbu Shui would have forgotten that he still has a great writer's pen name of "Xiwu" under his name.

"Just take care of it when you have time, you don't need to focus on these trivial things, it's more reliable to leave it to professional people."

After a pause, the young governor suddenly thought of something,

"Do you want to arrange some people?"

The cultural and creative industry is not only an important publicity channel, but also a service industry, once it grows bigger, it can provide a lot of jobs.

"The young master's eyes are like torches. One after another, some remnants of the old country came to take refuge, but ......"

Momiji replied awkwardly,

"The young master doesn't look down on them, and the concubine herself doesn't think it's of much use. It's just that they are also admired, and they must always be given a way out......"

In addition to the loss of the country, most of them have become refugees who have no fixed place to live, and it is good to have a job in Hukou.

"It's all trivial, you arrange it yourself."

Gu Shanbu Shui waved his hand generously.

In the field of culture and media, there is definitely a need for layout, but now it is not so urgent, before the advent of the Internet era, inefficient information transmission methods, with the current original model is enough.

Soft power needs to be consolidated, and more importantly, hard power. It's not strong enough, it's not loud enough, and no matter how beautiful the words are, no one will listen.

If the Gushan family has a strong person at the level of "three ninjas", he can basically go sideways. The second-line "Konoha technician" and the like can also protect the family for decades.

After the two talked about some trivial things, Momiji suddenly showed a hesitant look, wanting to say something and stopping.

"How...... What's so hard about it? ”

Hearing this, Momiji plucked up his courage and said:

"Young master, in the past few years, it shouldn't be a big deal, right? Are we going to have another child, Xiang Lian alone, without brothers and sisters, and quite lonely? ”

"Huh?"

Gu Shanbu Shui was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile,

"This kind of thing, let it be. Although the number of times we have loved each other over the years is not much, it is not small, and we basically haven't done any contraceptive measures, and it's not that we haven't been pregnant? I can't force it! ”

Momiji sighed and said leisurely:

"It's not that I can't conceive, it's that the timing is wrong. The birth of Xiang Lian was an accident for the young master, and it was a risk for me, and one calculation was enough, and the kindness and kindness of the young master and the Gushan family could not be used as a bargaining chip. ”

"That's what you think? So, it turned out that there was a chance to add a younger brother and sister to Xianglian, and you extinguished this possibility? ”

It seems that Gu Shanbu Shui, who has long been aware of something, raised his head and looked at the pretty face of Momiji who felt a little guilty,

"Why did you just tell me today?"

Taking a deep breath, Momiji, who had gathered her emotions, replied:

"Born in trembling, the only one who grew up in the eyes of others is enough, not everyone is as strong as that child. What child would want to be an illegitimate child of an unknown father, and willing to be reincarnated in the arms of me, a mother who can't even shelter a child? ”

It is the luck of the mother and daughter to have the noble man Gu Shanbushui, but the destiny of heaven is involved in this kind of thing, and it really can't be relied on too much.

Now Momiji can be regarded as having walked out of her own way, and Xianglin is no longer an illegitimate daughter without the power to protect herself.

In the anxious waiting of the autumn leaves, Gu Sugi Bushui chuckled and broke the silence.

"The Vortex Bloodline is truly magical, and the physical healing allows Kaoru to survive the almost foolproof birth control method. Although the process was tortuous, I was still very satisfied with the result. You've been secretly using contraception for so long, why have you changed your mind now? Even if I didn't say it, I wouldn't have found ......."

"The concubine wants the young master to know. Moreover, the family plan always has to let you have an idea. The Gushan family has a big business, and it is impossible to let Xianglian take the helm, and she can't afford it, and even her talent and interest are not here. It would be great if there were younger siblings to help you. ”

A mother's mind to plan for her children is really not to be underestimated. Gong Dou seems to be a talent hidden in his blood, even if Gu Shanbushui can't withstand the pressure to marry another noble girl in the future, there are many brothers and sisters, and he occupies a good position in advance, so it is impossible to get nothing.

"Do as you want, and I'll protect you."

Gu Sugi Bushui said unquestionable words in a calm tone, although Momiji's words were worried too early, but who could have predicted what the future would be like?

Such a powerful Uchiha family, inherited for thousands of years, is almost gone.

Even Konoha Village, which is so powerful that it is revered as the leader of the Ninja Alliance, is in danger of almost toppling inside.

It seems that it is not an exaggeration to plan ahead.

……

The winter snow has been falling for seven days, and there are still more than ten days before the winter vacation of the Konoha Village Ninja School.

The luxurious courtyard renovated in Konoha Village really didn't think about how to arrange it warm in winter and cool in summer, so that a noble son like Gu Shanbushui who hadn't suffered much since he was a child could live.

If you want to be trained, Gu Shanbu Water can also carry it, otherwise you won't go to the ninja road. But there is no need to endure this uncomfortable climate that can obviously be avoided.

In the heated house, Gu Shanbushui was leisurely drinking tea and admiring the snow, and the temporary personal servant Eagle came to report that someone was visiting.

"Patriarch Uchiha? What is he doing here, the Uchiha is not at the point of exhaustion yet. ”

On the surface, it seems that there is still the strength of a war, but what the facts are, it is really difficult to judge if you do not stand on an objective standpoint.

"Call him in...... Wait, let him go to the middle pavilion, I'll wait for him in the terrace garden. ”

Outside, the snow is falling, and the inside of the palace-like manor, there are still flowers, which is really a bit luxurious.

The well-informed Uchiha Fugaku naturally would not be suppressed by this kind of extravagance of spending money like flowing water, and sat on the opposite side of the ancient Sugi Bu Shui.

Today's Uchiha patriarch is wearing a simple upper ninja vest, and he does not have any noble clothes to show his nobility, but has a calm attitude that is not angry and self-assured.

"I'm sorry, but this is a paradise for me to enjoy in private, so the layout is a little presumptuous and not solemn enough."

"You're welcome, young governor. Visiting today, I actually came here with a request......"

"Oh? Let's talk about it! ”

Uchiha Fugaku's straightforwardness is a bit surprising. It seems that during this time, Uchiha Fugaku was under a lot of pressure.

"Presumably, the young governor is also clear about the contradictions between Konoha Village and Uchiha. Can you introduce me on my behalf, I would like to meet the daimyō? ”

"This kind of trivial matter, is it also worth the patriarch's personal trip?"

Gu Shanbu Shui laughed and said,

"Actually, in the name of the Uchiha, no one will stop you, and you don't need me to introduce you......"

Back then, Madara Uchiha's eyes were glaring, and the country of fire was trembling with fright, but now that his prestige is gone, there are still many people who sell face.

"There are some things that can only be said in private, and when they are put on the table, they are irreparable."

Uchiha Fugaku shook his head.

Whether it is a loud conspiracy that is widely advertised, or an unknown whisper, it is not only for the sake of talking, but also for gesture.

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

Uchiha is the Uchiha of Konoha Village, if something goes wrong, "coerce the daimyo to respect himself", put the internal contradictions under the sun and let people point fingers, and the good days of the Uchiha family will come to an end.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Shanbu Shui, who had figured it out, responded:

"Some time ago, the Daimyo told me that we are indeed inclined to defend the Uchiha family and want to bring about reconciliation. However, there are many concerns......"

Taking a sip of hot tea, Gu Shanbushui continued to explain:

"With all due respect, the predicament of the Uchiha family is directly related to the patriarch's weak control over the family. An Uchiha family with a unified will and traces of action, there is still room for negotiation and even cooperation. But now, it's completely out of control, even if you talk to the daimyo and Konoha Village well, the radicals within the Uchiha will listen to you? ”

If Uchiha Fugaku is really the patriarch of real power, he may not be on the verge of extermination, even if Zhishimura Danzo, after taking away the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye of Uchiha Shisui, he can directly control Uchiha Fugaku with other gods, and he can indirectly hold the Uchiha family in his hands.

Wouldn't it be beautiful that you don't have to make a big move, but you can also enhance your own strength? In this situation, there is definitely no one who can control the direction of the Uchiha family. There is no other way but destruction.

As the patriarch, running for the fate of the family, even at the expense of putting down his face and asking for help and the daimyo, is indeed worthy of admiration.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

"Today...... That's how everyone thinks of the Uchiha? ”

is scattered, self-sufficient, unsecretive, and offended all the forces that can be turned to for help.

Seeing Uchiha Fugaku's embarrassed look, Furusugi Busui still decided to do something a little insignificant.

"I'll tell you what you're asking, but the daimyo has been ill lately and can't do much. You also know that although the three generations seem easy-going, they may not listen. As for the advisor elders such as Shimura Danzo, they can't count on ......."

"Thank you for your candor."

"It's just a matter of effort, success or failure...... Don't get your hopes up either. ”

After saying a few kind words, Gu Shanbushui asked tentatively,

"Patriarch, have you ever thought about breaking the game with your own strength? If the Uchiha has the ability of the ancestors to fight against ten thousand enemies, and even has one or two masters at the level of 'three ninjas', if they refuse to accept the internal punishment and resist the invasion externally, they will not be cornered, and they can only be desperate to die......"

"You mean, a master like Patriarch Madara Uchiha?"

Uchiha Fuyue Tong Kong shrunk, I don't know if the ancient sugi water is a hint, or if it is a point,

"We don't have that power......"

"Maybe, but you don't know. Why did the Uchiha Shisui die, and why did the radicals be full of confidence, and when hope died, they were crazy to the point of incredible, and it was really not clear at all? ”

Just relying on the prestige of "stopping the water in an instant" will not bring them so much confidence.

The ancient cedar water implies unclearly,

"If there is a greater power in your clan, show it generously. The tiger pretends to be a cat, and after a long time, others will really think of you as a cat. does have sharp teeth and claws, and when necessary, it is still revealed, too cautious, and being looked down upon, but no one else can be blamed. ”
