Chapter 160 Hesitation
Yoshimune politely sent Masaaki Horita away, and San Langzuo followed him in from the door.Ji Zong glanced at San Langzuo who was following behind him, but said nothing. As for the others, they felt that it was only natural for San Lang Zuo to freely enter and leave Ji Zong's office, shouldn't it be so?
"Is she here to surrender?" San Langzuo asked after closing the door.Horita Masahiro represents the conservative forces. She has always been known for her prudence in her actions. If this person can come over, someone will come over one after another.
Ji Zong didn't even lift his eyelids, "No, she's doing it for Maeda Tsunaki."
"She's not from the Kaga Clan, so why should I use her?"
"She's just here to be a middleman. For specific matters, Shi Jiuchao has to speak for herself."
San Langzuo frowned, although the other party didn't come to surrender, but talking is better than nothing, it's not bad.Moreover, since she was able to spread this word for Maeda Tsunaki, it also represented her orientation.Ji Zong also thought of this point, but she frowned when she thought about the slightly provocative words of this honest-looking Horita Masahiro.
San Langzuo just nodded and said, "Oh, in such a short time, people outside probably thought it was a regular visit."
Ji Zong picked up the corners of his mouth and smiled. She didn't let San Langzuo kill all the sentries outside, because she still wanted these people to help her pass some news back.The so-called everything can be said to others, and she does it generously, so those who are interested will naturally be less wary.Moreover, what she planned was the position of general, so she was open-minded.
"Is there any news from outside?" Ji Zong poured himself a glass of water, and the pot was snatched away by San Langzuo before it hit the ground. He also poured himself a glass, moistened his throat, and said.
"Oh, Edo is so lively now! Shimadzu Tsunajo met with Tokugawa Tsunejo, and Mabe Kanbo met with Tokugawa Muneharu."
After hearing this, Ji Zong held the empty glass in his hand, and asked himself, "If this room is designed to be safe and secure for myself, then what is Shimadzu Jifeng doing?"
Suddenly, she was attracted by the sound of water. San Langzuo was holding the teapot high in the air and pouring water into her empty cup. Because of the large drop, the sound of water was particularly loud.Looking at the water that was quickly being filled, Ji Zong suddenly realized that she was the same as the empty glass, because there was no precipitation, so the attention of the superiors attracted so much attention to her?If Tenei-in had summoned people from Owari or Mito, wouldn't everyone have such a big backlash.Perhaps, if the Tianying Institute summoned Jiyou, everyone would say that he was concerned about Owari's internal affairs; if they summoned Gangtiao, everyone would say that they were discussing learning.
Dudu summoned her, and everyone thought about the issue of succession, why, because she has no background to rely on, so it is easy to handle.The Tianying Academy thinks so, and so do many big names.In order to make it easier for Ji Zong, the Tianying Institute even ruled out the truth for her.A main room with a royal background, that's all the Tianying Institute is currently concerned about her.
Ji Zong pinched the cup filled with water, but did not drink. San Langzuo looked at her and sighed. "Don't think about it too much, Mabe Kanbo will definitely find someone else, she can't swallow Owari, she is just like a newborn calf not afraid of tigers; as for Shimadzu Tsunetoyo and Tokugawa Tsunajo"
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, Ji Zong looked at him, his eyes were shining brightly, with a kind of longing.San Langzuo touched his nose, and looked away unnaturally.
"Hey, there are two possibilities for Shimadzu Tsunetoyo to find Tokugawa Tsunajo. One, she might be entrusted by Teneiin. Tsunajo offered an olive branch; two, I guess Tokugawa Tsunajo and Shimadzu Tsutoyo have some personal relationships."
Yoshimune thought about it, no, who was Tokugawa Tsunajo before succeeding Mito feudal lord?Could it be the daughter of the feudal lord who is in charge of monitoring Kyushu, no, not monitoring, but guarding.What kind of form did the two meet?She couldn't help thinking curiously.
In Mito Temple, the atmosphere was not harmonious.
Shimadzu Tsunetaka and Tokugawa Tsunajo sat facing each other. If someone who does not know the situation can see that the two people have no priority, if you have to distinguish between superior and inferior, then Tokugawa Tsunejo is the most expensive of the royal family, but in the island In front of Jin Jifeng, there was a kind of embarrassment of being strong.
"You came here on purpose this time, but what's the matter?" Tokugawa Tsunajo kept hinting in his heart that she was already the lord of Mito, the head of the three royal families, and even the default deputy general. She was no longer that Takamatsu Clan's girl.
Shimazu Jifeng said seriously, "I didn't come here on purpose, I just stopped by to do some business. Anyway, we got to know each other for a while." She easily broke the momentum of Gangtiao's strong support. "I heard that you robbed Mrs. Ji Yi's wife, Shibie will treat you with admiration for three days. I didn't expect you to dare to do such an outrageous thing."
"You!" Tsunejo blushed, pointing at Shimazu Tsutsuyoshi but didn't know what to say.She and Tsutsuyoshi Shimadzu are about the same age, and have been compared since they were young. Takamatsu and Satsuma don't know each other, but because of the relationship between supervisor and supervised, the relationship is really closer than relatives.However, since she was a child, she walked later than Shimadzu, spoke later than her, and rode horses later than her; she was inferior to her in physical fitness, appearance, and ability.Only children who have grown up by comparison can deeply understand this feeling of uselessness.Shimadzu Jifeng is the legendary child of someone else's family. He is good at everything and is perfect, but he is still Gang Tiao's nightmare to this day.
In fact, when discussing martial arts, the two of them have never directly used a sword; in terms of essays, warriors in this era are not fond of literary and artistic accents; in terms of merit, they are actually still young.However, Gang Tiao always felt that she was a dwarf, and growing up in this atmosphere, but also living with dignity, her character became forbearing and a little ambitious.The reason why Shimadzu Jifeng has such an arrogant character is that Gangtiao also made a great contribution.The two met very rarely, but each time they confronted each other. Now that Gangtiao became the lord of Mito, it is naturally much better.Before, when she was still the daughter of Gao Songfan, she was full of bitter tears when she said it.
As for Jianbu Quanfang and Zongchun, who Ji Zong was not very interested in, they were actually much more interesting than she thought.Two beauties are in the same room, one is bright and the other is luxurious.Jianbu Fangfang still adheres to his own low-key principle, black uniforms, gray feathers; Zong Chun, it seems that he was born to pay attention to appearance and battle, he must drive when going out, and eat carefully. gorgeous.However, fortunately, Zong Chun has a good appearance, without the aura of a nouveau riche, but looks graceful instead, as it should be.
The two claimed to be smart, but they seldom talked face to face, because the more they moved, the easier it was for them to show their flaws.Ji Zong also had a guess about the two of them. If the two really joined forces, would Jianbu Quanfang pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger in the end, or Zong Chun would win a big victory.This conjecture itself is exciting, but as a viewer, it is natural to hope for a reversal, a miracle, and an unexpected ending.However, Ji Zong is also considered an insider, so she has no such leisurely mind.At present, whether it is Jianbu Quanfang or Zong Chun, if one of the two wins, Ji Zong loses!
In the Ou Nei, the Tianying Institute was no exception and also knew the situation outside.He twisted the beads and smiled knowingly.
Teng Bo received bribes from many families and waited for him to deliver the news. Seeing that the master was in a good mood, he hurried forward to ask
"Master, aren't you worried about the movements of these families?"
Tian Yingyuan's eyes flashed sharply across Teng Bo, and Teng Bo trembled slightly, as if he was in a panic of being seen through.
"I know what you did, and I acquiesce, but if you cross the line, it will be annoying." Teng Bo spreads news to the outside world, including occasionally interceding for someone or seeking something, he knows it all.This is also where Teng Bo is smart. Everything he has comes from Tianyingyuan, so he is greedy, but he is very loyal.To Tianying Academy, Teng Bo is sincere.The Tianying Institute also needs such a person, colluding with news inside and outside, gathering the news or people he wants to know, and spreading the things he wants outsiders to know to add fuel to the flames.
It is not a fluke that Teng Bo can get to where he is today. He is top-notch in terms of scouting news and making decisions.It doesn't matter whether it's loved or feared, as long as you can get what you want, that's fine.As for followers, Tianying Institute is also very generous.
"Yes, everything about the villain is given by the master, even the dog's life of the villain is rewarded by the master in a good mood." He saluted tremblingly.The emotions of Tianyingyuan are unpredictable, he may be smiling but has murderous intentions, he may be angry but it is just a show.Because of this, even if Teng Bo could get a glimpse of his thoughts, he didn't dare to make too much of it. Instead, he buried this speculation deeply in his heart and turned it into a belief that was beneficial to him.
"Hum..." Tianying Academy needs to relax a lot in front of Tengbo. People always carry it, and it will be tiring. If you don't see the gods in the sky, they will occasionally descend to the earth, soaked in the smoke and fire of the world. "You don't even have the guts to be clever. Which company are you worried about?"
Teng Bo knew that the crisis was resolved, and every time the master tried to test him, he had a deeper trust in him.However, this trust did not come easily, he quietly wiped away his sweat.
"The villain thinks that the most dangerous thing is the meeting between Jianbu Quanfang and Zongchun." Teng Bo knew why Shimadzu Jifeng went to Gangtiao, and there was a hint from his master to ask her to beat it for him.After all, in the Yusan family, Mito is the only one who has the right to recommend, and this is also the biggest intention of Mr. Quan Xian to appoint Mito as the deputy general at first.At the same time, there is a gap when it is necessary to choose from the three imperial guards.In fact, from Teng Bo's point of view, Gang Tiao is already a dead move. It doesn't matter what she thinks or who she wants to support now.
Tianyingyuan said lightly, "Oh, then what do you think of Horita Masaragi's visit to Jiyi Temple?" Teng Bo's heart tightened when he heard what his master said. Usually when a master asks such a question, it means that he has made a mistake.Could it be that what the master is worried about is Horita Masara's visit to Yoshimune?But, it doesn't make sense.Not to mention that Ji Zong was cooked and rotten in the pot, even Horita Masahiro is just a little feudal lord.
Teng Bo looked at his master, lowered his head, and asked humbly, "I don't know, please enlighten me, master." If there is any question that I don't know, I humbly ask for advice. Generally, the master not only does not dislike him, but also treats him more kindly.
Sure enough, Tianyingyuan sneered and said, "You only see her as a little vassal lord, but you don't know who her ancestors are." Teng Bo thought, everyone knew that her ancestors were Kasuga Bureau, if it wasn't for this ancestor, this little vassal Who would pay attention to He Fan?
"Although Horita Masahiro has some face in the daimyo, it's nothing more than everyone showing some face to her ancestors." He tentatively expressed his opinion.
"Hmph, face, this ups and downs, Kasuga has been dead for how many years, how much face does she have?! You also said that she has always had a good reputation among daimyos. This is the biggest problem! "When Tian Yingyuan thought of Hota Masahiro's featureless face, he felt like a stick in his throat.Chun Riju is also considered a minister of the auxiliary country and has great talents, but she was very estranged from her relatives when she was alive.Although there is harm to her from her husband's family here, there is also her cherishing of her blood.I also want to know that when she fights against the imperial platform resolutely, her relatives will hinder her instead of helping her.It was also because of her long-term perspective that she kept a bloodline.
The Kasuga Bureau has been in charge of political affairs for so long, and has promoted and demoted people. If someone remembers her kindness and gives Hota Masahiro three points of face, then someone will naturally fall into trouble because of jealousy.But what is the real situation?Although apart from Kaga Fan, Hota Masahiro walked around more intimately, but with most of the daimyos, she was in a good relationship!And almost no one is hostile!This kind of ability and skill, even the Tianying Academy is ashamed, and it is still on the premise that he has the ability to deploy many resources.It is certainly a legend for Kasuga Bureau to be able to assist the country in the future as a wet nurse.However, Horita Masahiro is even more of a genius if he can gather a lot of contacts in such a precarious time!If there is no accident, there will be a place for Horita Masahiro under this large corridor in the future.
It's just, I don't know, who did she put the treasure on?If she saw the direction of the wind and chose herself, why didn't she surrender to him instead of going to Ji Yi Palace?For Ji Zong, is he too small?A seed of doubt was planted in Tianyingyuan's heart.
