It had also reached the ears of his ministers, who had remained in Tosa, that the long-serving mortal parents had been converted and made to live in Kyo.

They had gathered at Urado Castle and continued to discuss the future, but their opinions had been divided into two parts.

- You should quit your futile resistance and give up the castle immediately, even more than this happened!

- Say what!! Didn't Mori order us to 'cage and protect him if there is anything' before he went to Osaka! Now you should believe that your mortal parents are coming home and cage them resolutely!

In the meantime, Keio, on October 5, the emissaries from Osaka Castle entered the country of Tosa in return for the day of the takeover of Urado Castle.

When the gates of Pudo Castle were firmly closed and the messengers were passed through the castle with the same feeling as entering the castle of the enemy country, an old man greeted the messengers with a rigorous look on his face.

"This came all the way from Osaka and thank you very much for your hard work"

And, it was Parent Chief Tsukawa who welcomed them. He originally served the thirteenth general of the Muromachi Shogun, Yihui Ashiri, and after his death, he served as a heavy minister of the long-serving family, responsible for finance, diplomacy, etc.

Sometimes I lived in Kyoto for a long time, and the work was sophisticated and amazed the messengers.

"No, a polite welcome, thank you.

But the atmosphere in the castle is rugged.

The war is over... "

To a word that can also be taken as the irony of one such messenger, the parent head wipes the sweat off his forehead,

"No, it's an embarrassing story.

All those who put their lives at risk in keeping the words of the Lord and the Lord of the Long Sect... "

And he went through a room in the castle, saying the words of misery.

There was the figure of another long-serving chief minister, a man named Masaki Kunama, who finally welcomed them into the room and sat them in the upper seat, sitting down next to their parent director.

And one of the messengers, who confirmed that everyone had lowered their hips, spreads a single book and reads it out.

The voice was pale with its faceless face intact.

"Orders the surrender of Pudo Castle as follows:

Gyeongseong, pack your bags and be ready to dawn the castle during October of 5. "

That is terminal and unequivocal content, but with less than a month remaining, it had to be said that it was a tricky move to persuade the opponents of the opening of the castle throughout the castle to take it to a state where it could be clearly crossed. It was also apparent from the side that the faces of both the Parent Chief and the Yashiji Guard were visibly cloudy, with force on their shoulders.

Strict content continues to follow them like that.

"It should be noted that if anyone violates the intentions of the Tokugawa Inner Prefecture and continues to resist, all of them shall be executed"

And so the book was closed.

"Execution... that's too..."

Parent director blued his face and groaned at its content, which referred to too extreme punishment. One of the messengers, who glimpsed how it was, says with a half-sympathetic look.

"This is an order from Lord Genuine Hondo...

Now there is no one who can defy his downfall.

I'm going to have a hard time, but I want you to move on peacefully here. "

"Yes, sir."

And, on behalf of the Parent Chief, Yakigami replied in a less discouraging manner.

And the messenger went on.

"At that time, those who continue to show their compliments to the Yamanuchi vs. Horse Defense Hall may remain in the castle," said Brother... Toyotomi Tsuma. "

In fact, one of the messengers at this time was Kangfu Yamanuchi, the rich brother of Yamanuchi, who will take on this Urado Castle in the near future.

Prior to his formal takeover, he had come to scout Tosa's condition on behalf of his brother Rich.

To that Kang Fung suggestion, the parent chief and the Yakigami bowed their heads, pulling out of their shoulders as somewhere relieved.

But Kang Fung told them the terms so that he could stab them with a nail.

"Provided, however, that all weapons and armor of the chief foot of his knowledge shall be taken in the service of the Yamanuchi family"

The next soldier looks up at the words.

"It's... it's all..."

Kang Fung asked the Yashiji Guard with a cold gaze.

"Well, are you dissatisfied with anything?

When Yakigami swallowed his gokuri and spit, he replied with a contemplative look like he was ready.

"We pride ourselves on being the stalls of the Long Sect.

Taking weapons away from them like that would be taking pride itself. "

This monolithic leg was an armed group organized by a long-time former father, who contributed greatly to his hegemony of the unity of the Four Kingdoms.

But the reality was that it was organized with peasants native to Tosa, who, in response to a call from the lord, would rush to the battlefield wearing a set of weapons and armor that they kept at home.

In other words, they were those of the opposite nature to the "separation of soldiers and farmers" advanced by Hideyoshi Tai, and as abundance in the mountains, they believed that their presence could hinder future territorial operations.

On the other hand, however, the Kunigami Yasushi felt complacent that it was "our presence that has supported our long-serving family".

And many long-serving ministers take care of them and maintain good relations.

Taking weapons away from them like that means taking away their pride.

In other words, it seemed to the Yakigami at this time that it was the same thing that compelled the Christians to abandon their religion.

But Kang Fung told Yashiji to throw it away, still in a cold voice.

"What's wrong with that? I don't think the peasants deserve to be a servant of our family.

"Ha ha... that's best for you..."

"Hmm, good. Okay, we'll arrange that as soon as possible.

Don't make me feel weird.

And we don't want to see any more blood. "

"Yes, sir..."

And now when the parent chief answered on behalf of the Yakigami, the talks ended there. As usual, the messengers passed through the noisy atmosphere of the castle early enough, leaving behind the rustle and the castle.

The contents of this meeting were passed down to the castle shortly thereafter, but it became more of a stir to the struggle than a fear for the monolithic legs and the long-serving ministers who supported them.

That's what Hondo meant without even realizing...

Thus it seemed that the tragedy of the Long Sect family would further expedite its steps as per historical facts, pushing it into a situation that was no longer inevitable.

This year and the year after, it means the solemnity of blood against the rebellious territorial foot, also known as the Holocaust, by the Tokugawa family and the Yamanuchi family.

But...

There is no difference between being a good peasant when it comes to being a fool.

That man, who vowed to his heart to "enrich the lives of all his people," could not have overlooked this tragedy.

◇ ◇

Just when the messengers with the book of authenticity of Hondo stepped on the land of Tosa, a single high bill was placed in the city of Kyo.

"The Toyotomi family recruits a new Temple House Master"

Hideyoshi decided to set up a temple house for children, townspeople, etc. who had completed their studies, including reading and writing, in the land to be built.

And the townspeople of Kyouchung couldn't hide their surprises on this high bill.

Hideyoshi Toyotomi, who did not show up on the surface stage in any way, built a temple house in Kyo under his own name. People were amazed, and the temple house instantly spread from the corner of Kyo to the corner.

And the matter also came into the ears of the long-service mori, who had been living in Kyo, and the Osaki Xuanto, who accompanied him.

"My lord, let's raise our name to this high bill."

and suggested so that Xuanzhen would encourage his predominantly sinking parents by still dragging his brother's death.

"Oh..."

And as he rounded his big back small, his parents replied, looking like they weren't here.

"My lord... I do have some thoughtless things to say about my brother's loyalty.

But be the master of the children in charge of the future in order to meet the will of his brother, the Upper Highness!

And, Xuanzhen has a bright voice everywhere, pushing the back of his budding parents.

"No... what happened to my brother has blown up already.

Now more than ever, I'm not worried about the ministers I've left behind in Tosa... "

Yes, he has not been allowed to return to Tosa once after Tokugawa Jiayang told him to stay away from home.

Neither the monolithic foot nor the ministry of the long-serving family could have easily followed a new lord, Toyotomi Yamanuchi.

"My lord, I can't go back to Tosa now in any case.

You must all know that.

And I'm aware that the war is over.

I was wondering if you would do something to lose your life for no reason... "

And, if Xuanzhen said with a strange face, the mori shrugged its expression in darkness.

"Your Lord does not understand. The pride of the long-serving family, who did not give in to Lord Nobunaga Oda, but also resisted Lord Hideyoshi Tai..."

This matter was more targeted by the ideas of the parents.

The rebellion and pride of the samurai of Tosa remained unchanged even after losing their Lord.

I wasn't particularly worried about the one-sided legs.

They were the peasants who plowed the fields, but their hearts were no different from those of the samurai.

But now that the separation of soldiers and farmers is an absolute commandment, Mori was strongly concerned that they might be subjected to the solemn worries of Qing by Tokugawa Jiayang and Toyotomi Yamanuchi.

They probably won't throw away their weapons and armor even if they get poked at "death"...

Because we have defended the Long Sect family, the land of Tosa, because we are proud to be ourselves.

"Now, as soon as possible, the lord will have to raise his name so that he can make them officers again!

You stay in the mansion and nothing will change!

Come on, come on!

and Xuanzhen was nevertheless positive, trying to drag his grandparents out.

"Why is your Lord so positive?

And when the half-given facial thriving parents asked as they walked, Xuanzhen replied with a smile.

"It may have lost everything once.

At the end of the sentence, the beginning and end of being betrayed even by those who trusted...

But that's when I realized.

All you have to do is mourn now and wait for the impending death...

and.

If you take action, something will always happen.

That may never be all good.

But if you do nothing for fear of it, your fate will remain the same.

That's why I think we should keep acting.

How many ministers can I save if a hundred actions produces just one good result?

If you want to save everyone, if you have to act a thousand times, do so. That's what I'm going to do with you. "

To the words, the expression on the face of the uppermost parent takes the hardness and leaks a smile.

"The Lord is strong..."

"That's not true. The world is overflowing with those who are stronger than it is."

And finally, the parents decided to ask what they cared most about.

"By the way... why would your lord do so much good to my late brother or me?

In response to that inquiry, Xuanzhen replied with a slight drop of shadow to his earlier smile.

"I entrusted my dreams to my lord."

"Dreams...?

"Yes... a dream my son with a father who is too great..."

"Hmm... I don't know what that means... but if it were, Hideyoshi would be the same."

"Ha! I guess that is! Then my lord and Hideyoshi might be surprised to have a conversation! Ha ha!

And Xuanzhen laughed off, as if to deceive something.

The parents weren't thinking very deeply then.

But the fact that Genji is from a country of merit, and that his son with a great father seems thoughtful...

If you superimpose these, the identity of the mysterious person is likely to emerge first and foremost when you say Kunimoto Osaki...

I couldn't think much of my parents at this time.

Celebration 7 Oct 5 -

Souyoshi Ishida, who serves as the general head of the temple house to be built at the school and its premises, came to name names to the master of the temple house by Nagasobe Morimoto and Hitoshi Osaki.

Sou Yong met each and every one of the named ones in person to talk about the fact that Toyotomi Hideyoshi was a school and temple house built on the great foundation of "enriching the lives of all the people", and was only going to employ those who agreed with his heart.

Soo-yong met there when he passed his parents through a temporary cabin built on the school's planned construction site.

"It's been a while. My Lord Long Ministry."

And Soo-yong thanked him deeply.

"I haven't seen you in a long time... but only about two months ago"

But it's strange because it seems like a long time ago.

"That's what I think servants think.

Maybe there was too much going on between us. "

"Yes..."

and started with a slightly damp greeting.

In the meantime, Xuanzhen was silently curious about how things were going with his parents and Soyo because he knew that this was not the time for him to talk.

Then Soyo was asked about the school by the parents.

"By the way, why would your Lord build a school and temple house here?

If you are as good as the Lord, I think you would be better suited to be Hideyoshi's assistant again at Osaka Castle... "

Soo-yong answered the query with a refreshing smile on his mouth.

"Hehe, the awkward monk was ordered to reside in the presence of the northern government. Therefore, his service in Osaka Castle is no longer possible.

And... "

"And?"

Soo-yong's thin eyes gleam with a dazzling glow.

There was a clear reflection of 'hope', and Xuanzhen by his side inadvertently nailed it in his eyes.

"Master Hideyoshi offered to be an awkward monk.

He said to serve the heavens, not the Toyotomi... "

"Served under heaven..."

There was confusion in the mind of the parents over too much content. Soo-yong keeps talking so as to loosen the thread tangled in the hearts of such a thriving parent.

"The school and temple house are in what makes the future of the Sun Book.

It is in the hope of Hideyoshi that the results obtained here will enrich the lives of the people.

It was nothing more than the work of heavenly men, who thought about all the people in the Sun Book, regardless of their enemy allies.

Let's not call service to the work a service to the heavens. "

"I see..."

He was a formidable parent who was once convinced, but he remained overwhelmed by his grandeur.

Until now, it's like grasping the clouds for the predominant parents, who have been everything in the country of Tosa, thinking about all the countries of the Sun Book.

But his parents were also overwhelmed by the size of a human named Souyoshi Ishida, who kept telling such a big story, even as a matter of course.

Against such a thriving parent, Soo-yong bowed his head once again.

"So I have a favor for you, Lord Mori.

Please, with the awkward monk, make this school and temple house belong to the heavens, and make the future of the sun book?

Best wishes!

The words are powerful and do not let go of the hearts of the prosperous parents as eagles.

On behalf of his parents, who had already lost their words, Xuanton dared to ask him a humble question.

"What in return?

But Zongying answered the question with a gentle grin, as if it had been within his assumptions.

"The delightful appearance of the people... isn't it enough?

If it had been "Kosei Ishida" in the past, he would have tried to fish with "interests" such as gold and wisdom.

Well, now he wasn't.

He appealed to his heart.

And he even thought that if he could only move with "profit," it would not be necessary for a school and temple house under heaven.

Xuan stares into Zongying's eyes and wonders his sincerity.

It was like a clear fresh stream, with no front or back. Xuanzhen also said that he could put a lot of effort into his eyes, this time turning to his mortal parents.

"My lord... let me ask you this story. You can definitely hang the end of the Long Sect house where Souyoshi Ishida aspires!

"Oh... you are..."

And Mori answered somewhere in the sky.

He had not yet given up on the ministers he had left behind in Tosa.

But...

The next thing Soo-yong told me was enough to make me decide to dedicate all of my future life to Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

"And Hideyoshi had foreseen that the House of Mori would come here."

"Oh my..."

"Hehe, you may not believe it now, but it's true.

Therefore, Hideyoshi said that he wanted to ask Mori to do something special, according to the book.

As the Awkward Monk reads it, "

"Was it… this is something to be afraid of"

and the mortal parents were still unable to swallow what was going on.

And Soo-yong slowly began to read the book.

"I heard that there are no large schools present in the Sun Book, except for those that are well off.

Therefore, I want to make it in the capital and concentrate on research to enrich the lives of the people.

But now it is such a turmoil.

It's a time when a burglar doesn't know when to attack a school.

Therefore, I would like to ask the Long Sect Senpai.

Can you help the Lord's minister and the Lord's foot?

In other words, while studying at school, when a wolf worker shows up at the school, I also want him to serve as a guard against it.

Of course you will leave your hometown of Tosa, so I know that you will be the only ones who wish.

But I want you to persuade Mori to go to Tokyo as many people as possible.

Since the university also intends to carry out research on agricultural tools and crops, let's give agricultural land to the territorial feet that have gone up to Kyoto, and ensure that the fields are cultivated together with research there.

However, we would like to store the weapons and armor of the monolithic foot in a cache inside the university, and to carry out the maintenance and improvement at the hands of the researchers of the weapons. Don't worry, you'll be free to take them out at times of course. "

This suggestion struck the hearts and minds of the uppermost parents hard.

For not only were the ministers who had lost their masters and lost their place, but also the proud territorial legs reached for salvation.

What is more, we allow the monolithic footwear to continue to hold weapons and armor in the name of "school protection," but we can collect them in one place in the name of "storage," and essentially keep them away from them.

It was the aim of excellence that allowed them not to abandon their pride and let them enter the farming work they were supposed to enter.

"Thank you…"

And, Mori lowered her head with a loud voice.

Of course, this will not be the only way all Tosa's territorial legs will leave their homeland. But they are giving us a place to go for their pride, which would be on the verge of an explosion being chased, and the care was more than anything else delightful enough to tighten their bosoms.

From this moment on, he felt strongly beneficial to Toyotomi Hideyoshi and decided to pledge allegiance to him.

And Senpai quickly sends a single book to Tosa.

Of course, it was an invitation to Shanghai.

As a result of this book, when some ministers and leaders went to Tokyo and were summoned to Osaka Castle, they quickly started building schools and opening new fields.

Not all of them left Tosa, as Mori predicted. However, on the scale of hundreds of people in history, Ichigo Urado would lose his life, which would greatly reduce his sacrifice.

It is genuine of Honta to have seen this look with one uninteresting look.

He gave short instructions to those who were nearby.

"Ask Souyoshi Ishida in front of the Imperial Palace. Pull Zongyong to Osaka Castle."

"Ha!"

Kingsamurai also replies briefly and leaves the scene.

"All of you, Zong Ying... if you stand in my way, I will not forgive you."

And when he threw up, he also took a brush to take the next action.
