Chapter 37: A Thousand Things in the World (3)
Ishiyama Honganji, Enryakuji Temple, and the Wako Group, the tripartite forces came one after another, and it is said that there is an important role in the political balance in Jinnai today, and for the first two, he can solve it with his backhand, but now the addition of third-party forces makes him hesitate. That night, Zheng Heng couldn't sleep anymore after sleeping for a few hours, so he simply got up, lit the oil lamp, and came to the courtyard by means of the dim oil lamp, picked up the knife placed on the wooden frame, and began to practice the knife drawing technique.
The wind blew out the oil lamps and plunged the courtyard into darkness. Zheng Heng felt the dark feeling with one eye closed, and he was still tirelessly practicing the sword drawing technique that he hadn't practiced for a long time, and he wanted to learn from the sword drawing technique how to deal with the big changes that were coming. Perhaps because there was no light, he could only concentrate on the sensations brought by his body, his mind was withdrawn from political affairs, and he practiced hard wholeheartedly, and the unfamiliar craft gradually returned, and he practiced quite devotedly.
Zheng Heng was immersed in the knife drawing technique, and when he was sweating, there was a light sound of clogs stepping on the floor beside him, followed by a faint fragrant wind, a very fresh and refreshing aroma, and the light lit up at the same time.
Zheng Heng opened his eyes slightly, he knew who the person was, and only this person had the ability to come to his bedroom through the guard, after all, the guard work he used to do was still participated in and carried out by the other party, although there were corrections after Hattori Masanari was in charge, but it was generally Xiao Gui Cao followed, following the rules and practices set by his predecessor. He raised his head, put the knife back in its scabbard, and said, "Mo'er, it's getting late, why are you here?" Can I help you? ”
Ah Mo has now been upgraded to Mrs. Mo turned her head slightly sideways and was silent, took a cloak from the maid's hand, came to Zhengheng's side, and draped it on him. He said softly: "It's cold and cold tonight, please take care of your health." ”
Hearing Ah Mo's soft words, his eyes were full of flattering looks, Zheng Heng couldn't help but laugh, he turned sideways and grabbed Ah Mo's thin hand, and looked at the two personal maids for a while. Shy, the two of them were sent in by Amo's mother's family.
Ah Mo's body softened suddenly, which made people feel a lot of pity, Zheng Heng's thick hand rubbed the delicate palm, she was so comfortable that she almost wanted to ** make a sound, her beautiful eyes were closed, and she said softly: "It's cold outside, let's go into the house." ”
Zheng Heng nodded slightly, and pulled Ah Mo into the compartment behind the screen in the study. Recently, he was busy with government affairs, and he often had to deal with it until late before he could sleep peacefully, so he used a screen to separate a bedroom at the back of the study for rest.
When the two were in love, there was another shout from the door, and Mrs. Zhi appeared outside the door, and a grandmother she brought pulled Amo's two maids aside, wanting to let Mrs. Zhi in. The two maids who had thought of Ah Mo had kung fu on them, but they pushed and shoved Mama back a few steps. There was a shout.
Zhengheng's face tightened, and when he went out, Ah Mo followed behind, and the gentle smile on his face suddenly disappeared, but it was replaced by a trace of resentment. There is a hint of resentment.
Out of the door, Zheng Heng's face became even more ugly, he glanced back at Ah Mo, Ah Mo didn't expect that the door would evolve into a full martial arts, and he was looked at by Zheng Heng before he had time to change his face. All of a sudden, he thought of Mrs. Xiao Sanhao.
I'm afraid that there is a different temperament behind the gentleness and thoughtfulness, Zheng Heng didn't have any expression on his face, and he didn't show a trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes, he just looked at Ah Mo quietly, and then said flatly: "These two maids can't stay." ”
It turned out that as soon as she went out, Mrs. Zhi fell to the ground, a broken bowl smashed at her feet, the soup fell on the hem of her skirt, and her nurse was pushed and her cloak was scattered and cried and opened her mouth wide.
Mrs. Zhi has always been wooden, and today I don't know where to hear from her husband Jun sleeping alone in the study, and it took more than an hour to boil lotus seed soup and serve it to the guards such as Yamanaka Kasuke, and wait for Zhengheng to get up early and eat it hot.
Unexpectedly, there was an attendant who said that Zhengheng had not fallen asleep yet, so Mrs. Zhi took the nurse into the courtyard, and what happened later. Mrs. Zhi's face was aggrieved, holding back her crying, her eyes were full of tears, and she couldn't help but feel pity for a while.
Zhengheng knew that Amo was born in Huze, and the maids and maids who followed her were not idle, and the day before yesterday, Tozawa Baiyunzhai informed Amo before entering the city, hoping that Amo could turn around in front of him, and suddenly thought of Tozawa Baiyunzhai, and he glanced at Amo again.
It turned out that Zhengheng connected Amo with Tozawa Baiyunzhai today, and it was not good for Amo to come forward to intercede for his father during the day, but he came at night when he was practicing martial arts, and you must know that Amo had hidden the courtyard that many people entered.
Otherwise, Mrs. Zhi would not have appeared in the courtyard in a grand manner, and was stopped by the guards early, where would such an incident happen, which made Zhengheng's mood become extremely bad all of a sudden, and he couldn't help but be a little more wary of Tozawa Baiyunzhai and Amo.
Mrs. Xiao Sanhao did not hesitate to poison Mrs. Yushan in order to seize the position of the main room, although she did not end up well, but it also sounded the alarm for Zhengheng, and now I see Tozawa Baiyunzhai going to Amo first in order to take refuge, instead of coming to him to ask for guilt at the first time.
For a while, Zheng Heng said cold words, and said the cruel words that Ah Mo's two maids couldn't stay, and Ah Mo frowned when she heard it, but she knew that the two maids had completely angered him, and the matter of Diao slave bullying the master was happening in front of him.
The master of every family living in the Warring States Period, there is a string tightly tightened, and the most annoying thing is that the identity of the family is messed up, you must know that the atmosphere of the lower gram permeates the entire Warring States Period of the Wa Kingdom, and it has also become the biggest feature of this era.
Mrs. Zhi is the wife of Zhengheng's side room, and she is the owner of the family who gave birth to an heir to Zhengheng, her father is the important minister of the Date family, Takamatsu Castle Lord Ishikawa Hisataka, who was beaten so embarrassed by two cheap maids, who did they borrow their courage, who gave them such courage. As smart as Ah Mo, he immediately thought of Zhengheng and looked at her twice just now, and immediately changed color in shock.
Zheng Heng's personality is not very good, it seems to be in love, but she will not hesitate at all when she is desperate, and she understands at the same time. As long as her father is here, she will not be blamed, but in the future, the relationship between the two will not be the same as before.
Mrs. Zhi was slapped in the face, that is, Zhengheng was slapped in the face, at this time, Yamanaka Kasuke and others had already arrived, but they had to stand at the gate of the courtyard and dare not come in. They didn't want to harm the pond fish, they all quietly waited for the order of the political balance, whether it was a big matter or a small matter, it was all in the decision of the political balance.
A trace of ruthlessness flashed on Zhengheng's face, and soon this ruthlessness disappeared, and he returned to his original faint expression, and Amo, who had been observing Zhengheng, noticed the change in his face, closed his mouth and bowed his head without speaking, and it was best not to say anything when he didn't know what to say. Smart as she knows that it is useless to say anything at the moment, I am afraid that she will also get into trouble. It's all to blame on Mrs. Zhi, Ah Mo suddenly rushed to the deep resentment of Mrs. Zhi who retreated to the side, but she didn't dare to show it.
The ruthlessness of the superiors is not unreasonable, and the law of the jungle is the rule of this world. Junghyung suddenly lost interest, not wanting to know why Mrs. Zhi got the news, nor who had spread the news. I don't want to know who is plotting against me. I'm afraid it's the attention of Mrs. Zhi, who is the only daughter of Hisataka Ishikawa, that can knock down the two women of Mrs. Zhi and Mrs. Mo at once. The strategy of killing birds with one stone is so smooth that people have to be impressed by the group of women hidden in the deep palace.
This matter involves the heads of Mrs. Zhi and Mrs. Mo, and it will involve the heads of Ishikawa Hisataka and Tozawa Baiyunsai, and everyone estimates that this matter is thunder and rain, and in the end it will be let go lightly, and the big thing will turn into a small matter.
However. After Zhengheng comforted the two girls and left, his face was not good until the arrival of a woman, yes, a woman. A woman who was not very ugly, a woman old enough to be a mother of Zhengheng, appeared in the study and sat cross-legged in front of him.
Zheng Heng glanced at the woman kneeling on the ground, and said lightly: "What did you do like this?" "The origin of a woman was originally known by only a few people, but now only two people know, one is Zhengheng, and the other is herself. Her current name is Ah He, she was originally the concubine of her father Ida Zongheng and Li, and after she left, she married a small wealthy family, gave birth to two sons, and later became a nun, and once stabbed two thieves who stole the property of the nunnery, which can be said to be quite legendary.
Zhengheng had seen this strong woman once more than 20 years ago, and then the Date family rose again and became the strongest in the Western Kingdom, and Ah He moved into Heshou City and became an ordinary maid, whose task was to monitor the ladies in the inner courtyard.
Ah He replied flatly: "Go back to Your Highness, it's done, the situation in the city is in this booklet, and I ask Your Highness to take a look." She took a pamphlet out of her bosom and held it up with both hands, as if she didn't know that she was holding hundreds of people in her hands.
Zheng Heng waved his hand coldly and said: "No need, you are in charge of these people, you have to take care of this matter, I don't want to see you cheat me again." I can give you what you ask, but you are not allowed to get involved in personal affairs. ”
What Ah He wants is the future of her two sons, and she can see the expression of Zhengheng, and she knows that the woman who played tricks will know what the consequences of angering a man's heart will be, and she also knows what her ultimate fate will be.
Ah He got Zhengheng's approval to start purging the harem, it was already dawn, and only a few people knew what happened in Okayama Castle, and it hadn't been spread yet, Zhengheng had already covered the matter in Okayama Castle, but he knew that the results would come soon.
When a man is able to put his heart into order to clean up his harem, no one stops his actions.
The inside and outside of the study have already been cleaned, and no one can see clearly that there was an accident here last night that was enough to affect the relationship between the top and bottom of Okayama City, in the study, Zhengheng was looking at the folds in front of him, and every year's spring ploughing was the busiest time of the year.
With the increase of land, the complexity of spring ploughing has also increased a lot of workload. Zhengheng rummaged through the folds, but in his heart, he was thinking about the affairs of Ishiyama Honganji Temple, Enryakuji Temple, and the Wako Group on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was thinking about the impact of yesterday's events.
Just as Zhengheng rubbed his temples and quieted himself, Kuroda Kanbei slowly came to the door and whispered: "My lord, the head of the Okayama Police Department, the head of Kusama, and the deputy head of Hattori, Hattori Masari have arrived together. ”
Now that Kusama and Hattori are here, it means that things have come to an eyebrow. Zheng Heng took a deep breath, knowing that he finally knew what the purpose of the Wako group was, he ordered: "Let them in, I don't know if they bring good news." ”
After a short time, Kusama and Hattori Masanari appeared outside the study at the same time, tidied up their clothes, and the two knelt on the ground respectfully, and said, "Meet the lord." Then Kusama replied, "My lord, there are already some eyebrows in the matter. ”
Glancing at the two of them, Masahiro walked outside the door and took a deep breath, he asked Hattori Masanari to use the dark stakes in the house yesterday, just to see how capable Hattori Masanari was, and whether he would cooperate with the Kusama General Division, and the answer given by Hattori Masanari satisfied Masahiro.
Kusama pondered his rhetoric and said with a respectful face: "My lord, through the cooperation of the minister and Hattori-kun, he secretly arrested two Tang people's entourage and tortured them to extract confessions. ”
Zhengheng nodded, such a result was already expected by him, if Kusama Soji and Hattori couldn't even do this thing together, then there would be no need to exist. He pondered for a moment and said, "Let's start with the origin of the red lady!" ”
Kusama took out a booklet from his arms, then handed it to Zhengheng, and said: "The content on it is the information I got yesterday, the red lady is the leader of the Wako group, Wang Zhi, the leader of the dozens of adopted sons and daughters, and the chief housekeeper who stayed in Hirado. ”
With Kusama's narration, Zhengheng opened the book and read it slowly, he combined the experience of his past and present lives, and wanted to explore the purpose of the red lady's arrival this time, pacing back and forth in the courtyard, thinking about things from beginning to end, and muttered: "This trip to troubled water, we can't go, we can't go." ”
Seeing Zhengheng's expression, the general secretary of Kusama asked, "Lord, I don't know what the lord has discovered?" In fact, these are not what he should ask, but asking at this time will not only not make Zhengheng reprimand, but will make Zhengheng happy, this is the way to be a minister. (To be continued.) )
