The construction of the school and temple house was well known to Tokugawa Jiayang, but he had already ordered his daughter's son-in-law, Shinchang Okhei, to be the director of Kyoto to shine his eyes on the surveillance, and he was going to let him do it to some extent if there was no particularly disturbing move.

This is because if anyone involved in this college should cause any disturbance, it could lead to a further weakening of their influence, arguably the responsibility of the Toyotomi as it is. Rather, it seems convenient for Jia Kang, but for nominal reasons such as the one I took and attached to it, the fact is that Jia Kang himself was extremely busy at this time and could not be distracted other than by moves that directly affect the heavens, such as politics, military and foreign trade.

In other words, Jiayang thought that there would be no insignificant influence on the school and temple house created by the decree of Hideyoshi.

However, in November of the 5th year of the celebration (1600), and when the winter cold finally smudged on me, Jiayang, who received reports that there were "disturbing moves in the construction of the school" over Hondo Genuine, reluctantly had to hit the matter.

But did the winter cold sound painful to the old man's lower back, and it still took time for Jiayang to get on with it?

In the distant Kyushu region, Naomi Hot Island failed the Yanagawa Castle offense, and Shimazu's manipulation remained the same. Furthermore, in Tosa, while the long-serving ministers and the ruling legs continued to resist, it was Jiayang's true intention not to spend his nerves on Osaka and the sparks in Kyo unless they were so large.

He was later worshipped with God as a Dongzhao Daiguan, but in his lifetime he was still a single person, and it was impossible to pay attention to detail in everything.

At the end of Keio's fifth year in November, Jiayang finally raised his heavy waist and decided to interrogate Souyoshi Ishida, who was under the overall command of the construction of the school in Kyo, by summoning him to Nishinomaru in Osakaka Castle.

………

……

By the time Jiayang entered the room where he would meet, Honta-chun and Souyoshi Ishida were already seated.

Pure faces have increased before, and somewhere sharper, but I can't help but feel endangered by Jiayang. Just as Jia Hang is human, so is purity. Hideyoshi Tai was focused on Edo until his life, and he is now also in a position to assist the national daimyo in the management of their territory after the transfer of each daimyo. In other words, it serves as the face of the Tokugawa family and is in charge of handling the petitions of each of the great names. Whether it was by the time he was physically or mentally quite tired, Jia Hang had some sympathy for his purity.

Souyoshi Ishida, on the other hand, seemed like a completely different person from "Sansei Ishida" before the war if he saw the quiet misalignment.

In his case, it can be said that his position is the opposite of purity.

In other words, from the standpoint of being in charge of all of the Toyotomi family, they are now in charge of running the school in one place in Kyo. I can only assume that there are as many differences in size and weight of responsibility as there are in heaven and earth.

However, as contrary to the lighter weight of its responsibilities, it seemed to a person named Souyoshi Ishida that the weight had increased only because he was shaving his hair and dressed as a monk, which he could not seem to do.

- After all, the human weight that rises after experiencing great setbacks is completely different from the human being who has only accumulated success and overconfidence in his abilities...

And Jia Yang had to sigh, comparing purity to Zong Ying.

Now, while Jia Kang was doing a very different tour from the subject, the interrogation of Sousho began with a thorny tone of genuine piercing.

"There is nothing else you have come to Lord Zongyong about the school and temple house that your Lord is now directing the construction of"

Soyo on the other hand replies in a soft tone, like a willow swaying in a gentle breeze.

"Was it your left… is there anything inconvenient?

"It's white, Lord Zong. Isn't it true that the Long Sect Mori, who, together with the Lord, pointed a blade at the Tokugawachi Prefecture Hall, lurks with Yukihime Oisha changing his name?

Even in purely provocative terms, Soo-yong's tone remains completely unchanged. Jiayang stared silently at how those two were doing.

"Hehe, lurking, doesn't sound like a good listener.

Lord Oiwa recruited a temple master, and it is up to you, the one who named you, and the awkward monk, to ask for your help.

Never be lurking. "

"Well, do you think the Lord asked you to cooperate?

"It's on your left."

"So it is that the Lord of the Great Sinner under heaven is building a building, also carrying the Great Sinner's House of Lords.

Besides, it is said that the former ministers of the long-serving family, who were converted, as well as the monolithic feet, are in contact. "

"Is that inconvenient for Lord Tokugawa?

Pure clarity does not change at all, either, in response to Soo-yong's tone and expression, which has remained completely unchanged from earlier. However, the facial expressions can be repaired, and even the color of their eyes is not quite repairable.

Clear anger and impatience emerged in his pure eyes.

"When sinners are making something more, even though it is disturbing to just gather each other in one place, it is no wonder that there is once again a rebellious will under heaven, perceived as!

Let your lord know what you're up to here!

Jiayang's gaze shifts to her pure eyes in a pure piercing tone.

Jiayang, who looked into his eyes, sighed.

Hear that sigh, and now Zong Yong sees Jia Hang. And he even smiled at his mouth and opened up to genuine interrogation.

"As I told you earlier, we are building a school and a temple house.

As for the human foot, there are certainly former ministers of the Long Sect family and those with a single collar foot, but they are not the only ones, they include a large number of those who became prisoners in this battle.

However, including the Awkward Monk, I am a minister in the Spectrum Bill of Lord Tokugawa as a guide to those who are in this popularity, I have come to the house of Honda Tadashi and Naoto Iui.

At last, if the awkward monks are going to do something evil, they will happen to be in the ears of the Tokugawachi Prefecture and Hondo Genuine.

What do you think, such a flair was spoken directly from their mouths? "

There resides something strong in Soo-yong's eyes.

It seemed purely strongly pressing to "answer" his inquiry, and purity accidentally opened its mouth.

"I don't remember hearing anything like that. Now, stealing their eyes and plotting evil is no stranger."

Purity would only want to assume that Soo-yong was up to something, he decided so without even pulling a step toward Soo-yong's words. Even without solid evidence, he was trying to impress on Jiayang, who was going down to Sha 'a, that Soo was guilty by pushing him into a situation unfavourable to Soo.

However, the matter has already been discerned by both Jiayang and Zongyi.

Not so long ago, this genuine offense was sweet and revealed to be unprepared.

Soo-yong, as he said, "I have no choice," turning his sympathy eyes purely,

"Whatever the Awkward Monk says, it is at the mercy of the Awkward Monk to be searched behind it.

Now, would you excuse me for calling a witness here? "

And I bowed my head toward Jia Hang.

Jiayang soon thought,

"Hmm. Whatever you want"

and forgive it. And once he had left the scene, Soo-yong brought a man into the room some time later.

"Hmm..."

And a surprising voice leaks unexpectedly from Jiayang's mouth. On the other hand, from a pure clear face, the blood clearly drew away.

Who is the man...

He was Shinchang Okipei, the director of Kyoto.

He is welcoming Princess Tortoise, the eldest daughter of the Tokugawa family, into the main room, so to speak, within the Tokugawa family. Until recently, he appeared as a witness to what could be described as Tokugawa's enemy.

Jiayang also had to admire this candidate.

Because if it is his word, which can also be said to be within Jiayang's body, it has to be "positive" as Tokugawa's side. What's more, at the time I brought him in as a witness, it was like Zong Ying was indicating that he was "innocent".

What this means…

It meant that after this a thorough and unprotected, harsh counterattack on purity by Zongyong would begin…

And Zong Yong began it in the serene tone he had always had.

"First of all, Lord Okhei, thank you for coming so busy."

Xinchang replied with his head down, keeping his honest personality intact, to Soyo, who bows his head.

"No, what are you talking about!

I heard Lord Soo-yong was unnecessarily suspected, and I wonder if he asked me to sit with him if that's what he did!

Originally, Jia Kang was also able to stop Xinchang's words at this point. No, rather, at the time Shinchang came into this room, even down the shanty, it wasn't unnatural. That was because it could be called "stuffing" if it were to be likened to chess.

But Jia Kang didn't.

Because that's nothing more than pure experience.

Something called losing...

Before Soo-yong can say anything, Shinchang begins to bow his head and complain against Jia Kang.

"My lord! I have no doubt about this Zongyong!

On the contrary, it brings life back to the town of Kyo after the war, and the beginning and end of being completely invisible to even more recent burglars!

Please continue to allow the Buddhist Palace to build schools and temples!

From here on out, Jia Kang started asking Xinchang instead of Soyong. Because if Soyo takes the lead any longer, it could strike so hard that he can't be purely recovered. But still, Jia Kang didn't just stop the interrogation. Because I believed it would be a good medicine for purity.

"Live in Kyou..."?

"Yes! Under Toyotomi Hideyoshi's high ambition of" making schools and temples to enrich the lives of the people, "the vitality of the vibrant people and feet seems to be shifting to the townspeople.

Fees on them remain intact and are dropped in the town's dining and lodging areas, moisturizing everyone in town.

Within just a month, we are delighted that the townspeople's faces have become brighter. "

"Hmm... and fewer burglars too?

"Yes! It is as if the bandits feared each other because of the occasional walking of the towns by their paws and other inmates."

"But there will also be times when those prisoners will work the wolves"

"No! What are you talking about!

The inmates are witnessed by Lord Soyo, Lord Oishi, and Lord Genji Osaki, who act with strict commandments.

Instead of being a wolf, they don't even get to play extra. "

"So you're saying bare is good, huh?

"Yes! And those who are on Kyou's guard are helping!

"Hmm... so what about that school and the temple house? You're not building anything suspicious, are you?

"No! I don't think so!

Buildings even during construction are liberated by everyone, including the townspeople, under the patronage of the Zongyang Palace with "belongs to all the heavenly people".

Only the armory of the monolithic legs is tightly locked, but that means they can't even retrieve their weapons if they return the back.

All the townspeople feel safe looking at its architecture and wanting research that will help the world in the near future!

When he finishes his questioning so far at once, Jiayang shifts his gaze to the purity beside him. That he stares at Shinchang with the same clear face. But there was no more color in those eyes.

- This would have frustrated my overconfidence...

And, while Jia Kang suffered his chest ache, he now shifted his eyes from purity to Sou-yong. If you are Zong Ying, a serene expression that remains the same at all. Is that because we knew wins and losses from the start...

- Different... this man... what a waste...

Jiayang closed the scene before his uncontrollable desire nodded out his chest.

"Um, let's get it over with. My son-in-law, thank you for your hard work"

"Ha! Well, then, I apologize for that!

And Xinchang, with a clear voice to the end, left. Jiayang, who confirmed it, next faced Zongying,

"Zong Ying. I'm sorry if I made unnecessary suspicions about this incident.

As Hideyoshi intended, you should build a fine school and temple house. "

"My pleasure."

"Then we shall settle this matter. Okay? Pure."

"... as you say..."

And, purity tells me to squeeze it out, I bow my head.

I couldn't wait to see how it was, and I immediately lifted my hips and tried to leave the room.

But...

Souyong, in the same laid back tone, withdrew Jiayang.

"The Imperial Palace. There's only one thing I'd like to forgive you for."

I had a bad feeling that Jia Hang's heart was only slightly annoyed by this word.

"What? Tell me."

"The book from Lord Hondo here still uninterruptedly escapes to Osaka.

To give them a new plot of land to cultivate, we would like to create a new field on a land called Long Stay, south of Tea Mountain. "

It was only to the knowledge of Jiayang that immigrants from Tosa would not stand behind Osaka, and the creation of new fields within the country of Regent, which is such an area of excellence to them, would not be particularly necessary, such as the permission of Jiayang.

Jia Kang was trying to be sincere about Sou Yong.

Soo-yong continued without looking too concerned, such as Jia Kang's gaze, which looked strangely at him that way.

"But as you know, the one-sided legs are proud to possess weapons and armor, so to speak, troublemakers."

"Hmm, right..."

"So in taking up their weapons and armor, like Kyou, I would like to take the name 'storage', but I have trouble with its storage.

Let's do it. "

Are you up to something...

But I don't have time to go into it and hang out with it. Soo-yong would also be a question of understanding it.

If so, Jiayang had no better choice than to express his honest opinion.

"Just like Kyo, you should keep it tight nearby"

The moment I heard that opinion...

Really instantly...

Soo-yong's mouth creeped up so much that he raised its corner.

"Shit," he says to Jia Hang, tongue-in-cheek.

Yes, the reason why Soo-yong went out of his way to accompany an event that could be described as genuine "naive"...

It brings out the phrase "strict storage" of Jiayang...

It was his biggest and only purpose to make him say that one word.

Jia Hang immediately noticed the incident.

But regret does not stand first.

Soo-yong pressed him to repeat Jia Kang's words.

"It's my pleasure.

Now we will keep our weapons' strictly 'close to their fields…

Yes, we will rebuild the already abandoned castle, Shinbori Castle, as an arsenal, and restore the inner castle to keep an eye on them.

If it's Shinbori Castle, the moat is solid and the security will be 'tight', so it's great. "

"Hmm. It's about Hideyoshi's country. With Hideyoshi's forgiveness, I'll take it upon myself. But don't do anything extra..."

So I left the room.

However, it can be said to be a branch for the defense of the south side of Osaka Castle, which is considered a "weakness of Osaka Castle," but for Jiayang, who did not envisage Osaka Castle attack at this time, it was a sincerity that could not be understood.

The castle's genius, Kiyoshi Kato, will be responsible for the creation of the territory of Shinbori Castle, which will be this "armory", and the ghost of Cage Castle, Hiroshi Gui, will be responsible for its protection.

To put it further, the field-growing colonial legs became soldiers defending the Armory as it was.

And this "arsenal" is allowed at this point, not as a castle, but only as a collection.

In other words, it was a pretext not to alert Tokugawa because it was not a castle, even though it would be built on the site of the castle.

This mounting was an instruction from Hideyoshi, who intended to significantly increase the defense on the south side of Osaka Castle, combined with the Maida Maru, which would later be built.

"Then the Awkward Monk will let you return to Kyo"

Zong Yong said so and took a seat, still in a pure ear that was stunned

"Thank you for your time with the Imperial Palace"

And I whispered, pounding one on his shoulder.

It's as if Daimyo were going to take the minister's labor...

A blue muscle floated firmly on his pure forehead on the trick, his eyes running too bright red of humiliation.

Seeing him with such a gleeful look, Soo-yong gave him a gentle voice everywhere,

"You look pretty tired. Sometimes it's better for you to rest."

Leaving the room, he prayed.

………

……

When Jia Kang returns to his room, he gives his eyes to the pile of letters waiting to be shaken up on his desk and takes a deep sigh. And when I lowered my heavy hips, I was reminded to bite down the words of Zong Ying and Xinchang.

"I'm vibrant in Kyou..."

Then, inside his chest, something as hot as when he was young creeps up, his nature and heart dance and his grin spill.

The first thing that came to mind at that time was the calm face of Zong Ying, who paid for calm.

"It's been a Volkswagen before... so..."

And...

Toyotomi Hideyoshi's toddler face can only be said to be unreliable at an early age.

"Enrich the lives of all the people...

Hmm, it's quite a triumph... "

The presence of these two seemed imminent in the heart of Jiayang, facing him.

And as he grew bigger, neither his body nor his mind felt rejuvenated.

"This one's faking too."

And, snapping to himself, he forgot his tiredness and went into processing his desk writings.

But after a while, as I remembered one thing, when I stopped the brush running fuzzily, I took a brand new piece of paper and even wrote something down.

"Anybody home?

"Ha!"

And, Kinsamura replies to Jiayang's call from outside the room.

"Pass this to Katsushi Itakura. And this one goes to Okhei Shinchang.

Tell both of them to say hello from home. "

"Yes!"

And the nearest samurai received two letters, and left the place behind.

The contents of the letter…

- Changing Kyoto location from Shinchang Okipei to Katsushi Itakura

It was.

"Because it's hard to whiten a cloth that has been stained with pearl once again..."

And I crushed it just a little carelessly, but soon afterwards, Jiayang couldn't contain the excitement of being high, blushing her cheeks and looking up to heaven with a bright look.

………

……

Meanwhile... it is Genuine Honta who is still unable to move out of the meeting room.

He sat still all over the mud of humiliation.

If there was anything to move at all, there was so much disturbance in his mind that it could burst out. And I was desperate to take my eyes off the remorse behind it.

To him this meeting could be described as a "complete defeat," and its high nose column was smashed to the point of no complete skin.

However, it is very different from the thought of Jiayang, and his humiliation may have transformed his whereabouts into hatred because his vessels were so far away.

The spearhead of that hatred...

"Soyo Ishida... Shinchang Okiping... and... Hideyoshi Toyotomi..."

Of these, the hostility directed against Hideyoshi and Soyoshi can also be described as "outward", so it may still be acceptable.

However, the fact that it has been directed towards the "inward direction" of Okhei Shinchang becomes a fatal failure for him and the Hontaka family.

It's... he's going to trample on the Forbidden Scale, which even Tokugawa Jiayang never touched throughout his life...

That's still a story ahead...

………

……

Now Souyoshi Ishida was to head to Honmaru in Osakaka Castle to report excellently that he had enlarged the fields in his long residence and obtained approval for the construction of an arsenal on the ruins of Shinbori Castle.

There, we rendezvous with Genoto Osaki, who was waiting outside.

Hideyoshi, who had heard about him, had come to Osaka Castle with Soyoshi because he wanted to ask for something.

"Well, shall we come?"

And when Sou Yong urged him with a soft voice, he disappeared into the gates of Honmaru with the basement.
