When modern people travel to ancient times, will they have the idea of being above everyone? I'm afraid the vast majority of people do. You don't need to be a special talent, just take the general public of modern urbanites, within the age of 18-30, most of them live in the era of the Internet explosion. The information they receive every day may be a hundredfold or even a thousand times that of the ancients.
This has created a lot of modern people, no matter what you ask him, he seems to know that little bit. Of course, I only know a little, not to mention proficient, maybe I may not be able to talk about it. But even so, it is much stronger than most of the ancients.
This kind of erudition, coupled with the fact that if you happen to travel to a familiar dynasty, it is difficult not to develop a strong sense of self-confidence or arrogance, of course, it is better to call it superior.
It's just that...... As far as Oda Yoshinobu knows, this kind of person, unless there is some anti-heaven plug-in or directly grew up from a young age, otherwise, they will soon be taught to be human by countless people, and they will even die tragically on the street in a short time.
The reason is also very simple, the erudition of modern people did not play a role in most places in ancient times, because in ancient times, they paid more attention to professionalism. Can you plant with a hoe? Of course, the vast majority of modern people may not be able to swing a hoe even a few times.
However, this sense of superiority is fully reflected in Oda Yoshinobu. He was born with the courage to defy the sky, which is also known as the Crossing Gift Package. This kind of strong martial arts and courage did not take much effort for him to integrate into this era of martial arts.
Then, because of his relationship with Oda Nobunaga, he went all the way smoothly and rose to become the number one minister of the Oda family. To put it simply, he has never experienced failure at all since he crossed over, and he has never been slapped in the face, in this case, how can he not have a sense of superiority? In the words of this era, it is to completely ignore the people of the world.
People who have not failed generally behave in two ways, one is to act more and more cautiously, and the so-called undefeated is to win. Second, like Oda Yoshinobu, many times he does it casually, and if something really goes wrong, he will also believe that he can do it with his own strength. It's just that...... This kind of thinking is also very dangerous. Because the higher you stand, the harder you fall, and you are likely to fall to your death.
"My lord, although your subordinates don't support your idea, they can understand it. Therefore, the subordinates will not persuade the lord to change your mind, but the subordinates hope that the lord will not forget the former Kiso Yoshinaka. Shigeharu Takenaka looked at Oda Yoshinobu and said respectfully.
"Kiso Yoshinaka?" Oda Yoshinobu was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't expect that Shigeharu Takenaka would suddenly mention this person.
Kiso Yoshinaka was a samurai in the Heian period, and he won almost every battle since he started the army, and later became the first man in the world. Unfortunately, he was later defeated by Minamoto Yoritomo in the battles of Ujigawa and Seda, and when he died, he was only 31 years old.
After thinking about it, Oda Yoshinobu understood what Shigeharu Takenaka meant, the reason why Kiso Yoshinaka was defeated in the past was because he believed in his own strength too much, so in the end it led to the rebellion of his relatives. And this is also the reason why Oda Yoshinobu knew Kiso Yoshinaka in his previous life, because he looks very similar to Xiang Yu.
"Don't worry, I won't be the second Kiso Yoshinaka. After all, I trust you very much~ Moreover, I still have a brother to rely on~" Oda Yoshinobu looked at Shigeharu Takenaka and smiled.
"But according to the subordinates, His Highness will definitely not be willing to help you clean up this mess." Shigeji Takenaka said with a smile.
"Hey, don't say it~" Oda Yoshinobu was immediately embarrassed when he heard this, and complained angrily.
Okay, Shigeharu Takenaka accepted Oda Yoshinobu doing this? Perhaps this is like what Oda Yoshinobu said, he trusted these retainers of his very much, and therefore, let Takenaka Shigeharu support Oda Yoshinobu against his own ideas. After all, for a real retainer, it is one thing to persuade the lord to make the right choice, but if the lord insists on doing it, then the only thing that a retainer needs to do is to take into account everything that may happen in the future.
Oda Yoshinobu got Takenaka Shigeji here, and over there, not long after Zhang Juzheng returned to his mansion, he also welcomed a guest, but it was Hu Shouren, who had just left Oda Yoshinobu.
"Lord Shangshu, the villain only knows about the Japanese envoy." Hu Shouren said respectfully.
"Shouren, you work hard...... Hehe, according to what you just said, not only is your kid not the way, but you should also be very happy~" Zhang Juzheng looked at Hu Shouren and chuckled.
Hearing this, Hu Shouren hurriedly knelt on the ground and said with some trepidation, "The villain is just acting on the orders of Lord Qi, and he is absolutely not ......."
Before Hu Shouren's words were finished, he was interrupted by Zhang Juzheng, "Okay, get up~ What kind of people are you and your family, don't I know yet?" Zhang Juzheng waved his hand and said. Then, his expression became strange again, "If you really say so, then the Japanese envoy seems to be completely indifferent to whether this matter can be successful?" Could it be that he just heard that the dynasty had lifted the sea ban, so he wanted to try his luck? ā
Hearing Zhang Juzheng's words, Hu Shouren hurriedly responded, "Lord Qi thinks the same, Japan's ship technology has always been very backward, and this time it is also with a Yiren merchant ship. "Okay, in a word, all the fleets of Oda Yoshinobu in Ningbo Port will be assigned to the Agotic Chamber of Commerce, so that even if there is anything in the future, Qi Jiguang will not have to worry about anything.
"That's ......" Zhang Juzheng replied lightly, and then stopped talking. Seeing this, Hu Shouren stood aside respectfully and waited quietly.
After a long time, Zhang Juzheng suddenly asked, "What do you think of their strength these days by their side?" ā
"This ......" Hu Shouren paused for a moment when he heard this, but quickly replied, "Very strong!" The entourage brought by the Japanese envoy seemed to be his own personal guards and ninjas, and he himself was also a very powerful samurai. ā
"How does it compare to Lord Qi?" Zhang Juzheng asked curiously when he heard this.
"I haven't tried it." Hu Shouren shook his head and said, "But according to Lord Qi, it may be that the Japanese envoy is stronger......"
"Oh?" Zhang Juzheng was stunned when he heard Hu Shouren's words, and then pondered again. After a long time, he waved his hand to signal that Hu Shouren could leave. Seeing this, Hu Shouren suddenly felt like he had been amnestied and left Zhang Juzheng's mansion quickly.
"Oda-sama, the villain can only help you get here." Hu Shouren thought to himself.
And after Hu Shouren left, Zhang Juzheng was still thinking about Oda Yoshinobu. However, he was not considering whether opening up trade with Japan would be beneficial or disadvantageous to the dynasty, because for it did not matter to him what that kind of thing was.
After all, whether it was trade with Japan or not, there was no difference to the Ming Dynasty. So the only thing Zhang Juzheng cares about is what benefits this matter can bring him.
He is only 42 years old this year, but he is already a scholar of the Ministry of Rites and Rites, a scholar of Wu Yingdian University, and a cabinet member of the government. It can be said that in terms of his age and qualifications, he is already a very high position. However, for Zhang Juzheng, if he wants to realize his ideals and ambitions, this position is far from enough.
And he knows very well that his position is not so secure, because most of the reasons why he can become the current position are because of the promotion of the current first assistant Xu Jie, as well as the identity of the current emperor's former attendant.
And in addition, Zhang Juzheng knew very well that there was still a pair of eyes staring at him behind his back, or staring at the position of his mentor Xu Jie. And this person is none other than Gao Gong, who originally admired Zhang Juzheng very much, but now he has become a cabinet minister who is also an enemy and a friend.
Zhang Juzheng was appreciated by Xu Jie and Gao Gong at the same time in his early years, and at that time, Xu Jie and Gao Gong had already begun to fight openly and secretly. But later, after the death of Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi, Xu Jie, together with Zhang Juzheng, drafted an edict and completely tied Zhang Juzheng to his chariot. It was also at that time that Gao Gong completely regarded Zhang Juzheng as a person of Xu Jie.
In officialdom, standing position is always very important, although he knows Gao Gong's hostility to him, but Zhang Juzheng has already gotten on Xu Jie's chariot, and Xu Jie is not only his mentor, but also the current cabinet chief assistant, so it is naturally impossible to jump to Gao Gong's side.
So later, in the struggle between Xu Jie's and Gao Gong's, he always looked at Gao Gong coldly until he was defeated by Xu Jie's and resigned from his official position.
It stands to reason that Zhang Juzheng doesn't need to pay attention to Gao Gong anymore, but Zhang Juzheng knows that Gao Gong is not such an easy person to defeat, and his friends in the court are still waiting for the opportunity to let Gao Gong return to the court.
More importantly, since defeating Gao Gong, although Xu Jie has not become blind and arrogant, he will inevitably do something that makes the current emperor dissatisfied. In addition, Xu Jie's age is old, so Zhang Juzheng has to make some plans for the future. At the very least, when Gao Gong returns in the future, he will not be caught.
"It's just, how do you make use of this?" Zhang Juzheng looked at the sky outside that was gradually darkening and muttered to himself.
