"And this matter, when I returned from Nagato Country, I had already told the fourth uncle, and he had already agreed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and will arrange them with some pressure, but definitely able to accomplish things to do, give them a good exercise. Let them grow up as soon as possible, with the expansion of their own family, they must be able to sit on the side within a few years!
And I told my uncle that I wouldn't let him take care of these three children, let him treat the three of them as ordinary retainers, and never reveal the identities of the three of them to the outside world, the first is to make them grow faster, and the second is to protect their safety. ”
"By the way, I also protected Kuriyama Riyan, right?"
"Hey!"
"In that case, let it be as you say! They will all be the hope of the Kuroda family in the future, and the Kuroda family is big, so they can't just rely on you and us four old guys. It would be great if they could grow up and have the ability to be your right-hand man. Kuroda said.
"That's true!" Kuroda nodded.
"Kan Guard, I still remembered something, I'll tell you now."
"Father, what else do you have to do?" What Kuroda said was very mysterious, and Kuroda felt a little puzzled.
"I'm going to give you the position of the governor of the Kuroda family during the New Year's assessment." Kuroda said calmly.
"Ahh Father, why is this, you are at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, how can you have such an idea? Did I do something wrong, or did I do something transgressive? ”
"That's not the case, it's just that the position of the governor should have been yours a long time ago." Kuroda said.
The historical Kuroda family of Himeji Castle, because of the jealousy of the Koji government for Kuroda Kantashi, so Kuroda Kantaka made his own seclusion when Kuroda Kanbei was sixteen years old, and gave his position as the governor of Kuroda Kanbei, which also made the historical Kuroda Kanbei become the head of the Kodera family when he was sixteen years old.
"No, I still have a lot to ......
Kuroda interrupted him and said, "The reason why the Kuroda family has come to this point is all because of you!" Kannongwei. ”
"Father, why do you have such thoughts? Did someone say something to you? ”
"Actually, it's already a matter of the Chinese New Year before!"
"Chinese New Year?"
"Hmmm! On New Year's Day, I had a drink with the second child (Kodera Takahisa) and them, as well as Kobei. They are full of praise for you! ”
"But why did you have the idea of retiring?"
"We talked about some things in the past, such as when I first started, my Kuroda family was under the command of the Koji family, and how the old man was recognized by the Kotera family step by step. When it comes to the story of our youth, we fought side by side. Later, the family became the castle of Himeji Castle, and later acquired the family character of the elder family, and then Himeji Castle. ”
When Kuroda said it, he was like an old man who told stories to his children and grandchildren, so eloquently and thoughtfully. However, he was really only in the prime of his early forties.
"Later, when the old man was forty years old, he gave me the position of the governor of the house, and ran to Lishan Village with two envoys. Speaking of which, I was only twenty years old at the time, which is almost the same as we are now.
I also married your mother, you don't know your mother at that time, but it was very beautiful, when she got married, Zuo Jingjin (Kushiqiao Yiding) They were all drooling, envious.
And you were born the next year, and I was just glad I got a sister-in-law, and I really didn't see how smart you were, but when you were a baby, your eyes were as clear and bright as they are now. By the way, do you remember when you fainted when you were seven years old? ”
"Hey! I still remember. ”
"Before, you also loved to read, like to learn and imitate. But since then, you seem to be a different person. Become more and more diligent, and even those of us who are older generations see your efforts and feel that we don't have a child of yours who shouldn't work hard!
Let me tell you a little secret, the third child turned out to be very lazy, and it was because he saw you that he would work so hard to exercise his martial arts, otherwise he would never have reached the current height.
You said at the time that you wanted to make yourself strong in this troubled world, so as to guard the Kuroda family, protect everyone in your family, and protect everyone under your rule.
To tell the truth, this sentence came out by ourselves, and basically every retainer in the family at that time, the ashigaru under his command, and the peasants and soldiers in the collar should have known. It's just that I don't know why, but this word spread to the entire Harima Province and to the ears of the lord (Kodera political office). ”
"Ahh And this kind of thing? ”
"Hmmm! Otherwise, do you think the name of Qilin'er is so easy to get? ”
"I see!"
Later, the family eliminated the Takino Akamatsu family and laid a solid foundation for hegemony, which led to all subsequent foreign wars.
Many of the important ministers in the family were recruited by you, and the two young men of Shigeharu Takenaka and Masayuki Sanada are really good, but in terms of resourcefulness, they are actually equal to you, and they are both loyal to you. Although I didn't say it on the surface, I know that Shigeharu Takenaka only recognizes you as the lord. ”
Speaking of which, Kuroda glanced at Kuroda Vocational High School, and Kuroda Vocational High School looked a little embarrassed.
"Father already knows!"
"The matter of Takenaka Shigeji's title, in fact, there is no need to be like this, it is okay to call you the lord directly, and call me the main hall. I know this must be your kid's idea, I'm afraid I'm suspicious, right? ”
"Woe! This one is true. ”
"Li Sanbao, Hanzo, Master Quanzong, Miyata Mitsuji, Tsuchihi Yahachi, Hanabo Masayuki, Sasaki Nagahide, Yamamoto Takaquan, Kinoshita Hidenaga, and of course many other important ministers, they were all recruited by you. Privately, I know that they are more convinced of you, and when you changed back to the Miao character, I could see that they were very excited, and they should be looking forward to the day when you take the position! If you become the lord, their morale should be even higher, and the Kuroda family will be even stronger than it is now!
