Chapter 1013 Stick beats mandarin duck Tsugawa Soji!
Yoshitoki Takagi is B again!
I just talked to Ah Xiu about life and dreams, why did Soji Tsugawa suddenly lead someone to arrest him?
"My lord, what does this mean?" Yoshitoki Takagi didn't figure out the situation at all.
"Izumi Mamoru, how has the family treated you since joining the Tsugawa family?" What a familiar routine, Soji Tsugawa simply copied the clichΓ© plot of the bloody family dramas of later generations.
Takagi Yoshitoki hurriedly said loudly, "Thanks to the great grace of the lord, I have been entrusted with the important task of assisting the Wonderful Pill Palace, and every time I think of this, I am grateful to Dade!" β
"In that case, why did you do such a thing?" Soji Tsugawa said bitterly.
For Takagi Yoshitoki, Tsugawa Soji still attaches great importance to it.
Not only is Takagi Yoshitoki outstanding, but more importantly, Takagi Yoshitoki also has many connections with Kyoto ministers such as the Minister of Saionji. Even Tsugawa Soji was thinking about whether to send Takagi Yoshitoki to Kyoto, referring to the practice of Oda Nobunaga in history, and letting Takagi Yoshitoki serve as the "spokesperson" of the Tsugawa family in Kyoto, and if he had nothing to do, he would have a relationship with the shogunate and the imperial court, and then promote the positive image of the Tsugawa family.
But what I heard and saw today really annoyed Tsugawa Soharu a little.
Originally, when he heard the words of Tsuruhime and Wonder Maru, Soji Tsugawa was only skeptical. But when he really saw Yoshishi Takagi and Ashu pulling and pulling in the courtyard of Wonder Maru, Soji Tsugawa was really angry.
MMP, you're almost a grassroots kid, and I'm going to get you back as a son's side with good food and drink, although the status is not high, but it's also a promising position, and you're actually here to soak my sister in the Tsugawa family?
"Is there a slight misunderstanding?" Looking at Soji Tsugawa, who was asking for guilt, Takagi Yoshitoki swallowed his saliva and asked cautiously.
Tsugawa Soji said with a solemn face: "Ah Xiu has been promised by the family to the young master of the Satomi family, and the relevant documents have been submitted to the Satomi family. And today you actually have a private meeting with Ah Xiu here, if it is spread out, where will you put the face of your family? β
Takagi Yoshitoki finally understood the root of the matter now, and wanted to explain, but when the words came to his mouth, he could only swallow them. Do you want Takagi Yoshitoki to say to Soji Tsugawa, "It's all a misunderstanding, what you see is an illusion, I have nothing to do with Axiu, if you want to marry, just marry"?
If you really say it, not only will Takagi Yoshitoki look down on him, but the most important thing is that he and Ah Xiu will really be finished.
In the past, Takagi Yoshitoki valued his own ability and martial bravery, believing that these were the keys to a samurai's self-cultivation. But at this moment, Takagi Yoshitoki found that he was wrong, only status and fame are the most important things in this world, and with these things, you can really do what you want.
Just imagine, if Takagi Yoshitoki was already a big man at this time, or had a pivotal position in the Tsugawa family, then he could have proposed to Tsugawa Morimune early on to ask for marriage, and presumably Tsugawa Morimune or Tsugawa Soji would not refuse.
But it was precisely because Takagi Yoshitoki did not have such conditions in the past, so he delayed it again and again, until now Ah Xiudu is about to get married, which is still a hairy game!
"Lord, I know that I am wrong, but I am in love with Miss Axiu!" Takagi Yoshitoki is completely out of the way, not only can it not be said that Ah Xiu came to find himself, but he must also resist everything. Otherwise, even if Tsugawa Soji can really marry Ah Xiu to himself on his "face", but hearing that Ah Xiu is so "unruly", he may also send Ah Xiu out because of the face of the Tsugawa family.
Takagi Yoshitoki was right, but there was another point that Takagi Yoshitoki did not take into account, that is, this matter involved the diplomacy of the two forces of the Tsugawa family and the Satomi family, or the diplomatic credibility of the Tsugawa family.
Once Tsugawa Soji doesn't handle this matter well, then he will lose his trust in the Satomi family, and then lose his trust in the world!
For a samurai who aspires to become a man of the world, this is a very fatal thing, so Tsugawa Soji will not let this happen, even if it will break the heart of a talent, or break up a pair of lovers.
But this mandarin duck, Soji Tsugawa must be knocked!
"No more talk!" Soji Tsugawa waved his hand, "For the sake of your previous merits, this matter will end here!" Ah Xiu will definitely marry into the Satomi family, as for you, it just so happens that Hanhejiang, the head of the Hanhejiang family, has no heirs, and sent someone to ask the family to choose a virtuous son for him. β
"Hequan's talent and temperament have always been valued by the family, so you will be the son-in-law of the Hanhejiang family!" After saying that, Soji Tsugawa patted Yoshitoki Takagi on the shoulder, and then strode out.
At the same time, Axiu was also sent back to the Sakura Pavilion by Tsugawa Soji, and instructed Yukihime and other good girls to take care of it.
"Ah Xue, you say, did I do something wrong today?" At night, Soji Tsugawa looked at the shining stars in the night sky and asked expressionlessly.
Yukihime saw that her husband was worried, so she hurriedly explained, "Your Highness is the head of the family, and the things you consider should be my Tsugawa family. Some children's affections, whether right or wrong are on His Highness, in terms of results alone, this is indeed a happy situation for the family. β
"Madame Snow is right." Kamiji on the side also spoke, "Although it is a bit unsympathetic to say this, this world is like this. Besides, His Highness has already informed the Satomi family of the result, and it would be even more inappropriate to change the hexagram because of this matter. β
"As compensation, let Takagi and Izumi Shou marry the princess of the Hanhejiang family and become sons-in-law and adopted sons, and inherit the name of the Hanhejiang family in the future, although it will not make Takagi and Izumi Mamoru grateful to His Royal Highness, but they can make up for it somewhat. At the same time, it can also allow the family to control the Hanhe Jiang family more thoroughly, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. Kameiki said slowly.
After listening to the words of the two, Tsugawa Soji felt a lot better. Although he knew these truths, when he thought of the eyes that Ahide and Takagi Yoshitoki looked at each other when they finally parted today, Tsugawa Soji felt uncomfortable.
It's not very uncomfortable, it's not so good that Soji Tsugawa is destined to make the other two infatuated men and women unable to sleep tonight.
Ashu locked himself in his room and didn't know what he was doing, while Takagi Yoshitoki collapsed drunk in the izakaya in Joshita-cho, Ueno Castle, accompanied by several Tsugawa samurai, as if enlightening Takagi Yoshitoki, who was in despair.
The brothers Takigawa Kazuki and Takikawa Yoshige sat next to Takagi Yoshitoki on the left and right, and across from Takagi Yoshitoki sat Asakura Keishige of the Ueno Castle Chengguan Squadron, all three of whom were Takagi Yoshitoki's best friends in Ueno Castle.
Looking at Takagi Yoshitoki's uncomfortable look, Takigawa Kazuki couldn't help but persuade him, "Izumi Shoudian, according to common sense, even if the lord banishes you or directly executes you, it is not too much." β
"Now not only are you and Miss Axiu safe, but you can also become the son-in-law and adopted son of the Hanhejiang family, and it is already good to be able to inherit the Zhixing land of the two Wanshi of the Hanhejiang family in the future."
"As for Miss Axiu, it's not like she has no chance at all after getting married.........."
"What chance?" Takigawa Ichiyi didn't care about the Takagi Yoshitoki that he said earlier, and after hearing the latter sentence, he immediately threw down the wine glass in his hand, grabbed Takigawa Kazuyi and asked almost frantically.
"Opportunity is ........"
