6 years of celebration (1601) October -

After receiving the successful resolution of one of the two major concerns that plagued Tokugawa Jiayang, he finally decided to return from Fushimi Castle to Edo Castle, his home base.

Those two major concerns were Kyushu's setup and Northeast's...

Of these, the aim of the solution was the northeastern arrangement.

The fierce battle, which was being waged by three parties: Dada Zhengzong, Uesugi Jingsheng and Uesuguang Yoshimitsu, finally calmed down, of which Uesugi, who had raised the anti-Tokugawa, sent Honjong to Fushimi in the role of a compromise with the Tokugawa family. Then, after greatly reducing the stone height, the burden finally fell upon the Uesugi family when the seal was transferred to Uesawa.

But for such a family well-being, a great job was awaited, arguably the last in Fushimi.

"I feel heavy..."

Just thinking about the job makes Jiayang's stomach heavy again.

"What are you saying about pity?

It would be inappropriate if you didn't stretch your spine a little longer. "

and the bureau of tea beside him calms down Jiayang.

Jia Kang glances at her like that and looks as grumpy as ever.

"Well, if I can stretch too, I just want to stretch it. Wow. This is because of my age."

"Oh? You're young enough to stretch under your nose in a new side room these days..."

Honta Masayoshi giggles, who is in the room with the words of that Acha bureau.

Jiayang blushed.

"Hmm! Either the Lord wants me to be young or not!?

"I've never rubbed it young, so stretch your spine."

To the words of that Acha bureau, Jiayang desperately tries to stretch his spine, but because of his long work toward the desk, his back was not quite straight.

However, I appreciate the care of Atcha's Bureau, and I felt that Jiayang's heavy feelings were only a little clearer at this time.

………

……

But...

And when the great work came to a close, his stomach and feelings grew heavy again.

What is that job...

It was a meeting with Kaiseki Uesugi.

The House of Uesugi is to be officially allowed to do so by setting the course and receiving a direct apology at the end.

But it should no longer be Tokugawa Jiayang, who has nothing to be afraid of under heaven.

Nonetheless, why are you so concerned about getting an apology from them...

It's...

It was the air.

And Jia Kang's stomach remained heavy, and it began when four people came into the room.

Beside Tokugawa Jiakang, Atsushi's Bureau and Hondo Masayoshi.

And beside Uesugi Jingsheng, Naoke and Jitsu, who are the heavy ministers of Jingsheng and not an exaggeration to say one arm, and Princess Kiku, the main room of Jingsheng, and the ship, the main room of Jitsheng, are seated.

If we gather seven men and women in a single room, it should be a busy seat with stories from the past…

The man named Kaiseki Uesugi was a foolish "man of no air" everywhere.

Even when it came to apologizing, it was meant to be all about form.

It is a famous story that it was indeed the letter of impeachment without clothes on teeth… the so-called "Naojiang shaped", by Naojiang and Jitsu, which was the source of Jiayang's adventure in the Aizu conquest.

When I got the letter, I forgot me in anger, saying it was usually a warm home.

However, it led to the great majority in Sekigahara, and now all the arrangements under the heavens could be entrusted to Tokugawa to consolidate its position.

With regard to politics, he thought that Kakane, who was future-oriented and tolerant, would be more comfortable if Uesugi Jingsheng exchanged promises that he would "never face his teeth in the future, but would be on Tokugawa's side".

The matter had already been exchanged in writing through Honzhuang Chengzhang, the chief minister of Jingsheng, and if only the place had been set up for Uesugi Jingsheng to apologize to Tokugawa Jiayang, it would have been nice to talk about the content of the talks and so on.

But...

Uesugi Jingsheng doesn't know the air like that.

When he bowed his head seriously and deeply, he pierced the state silently.

Of course, if my husband is that attitude, the ministers and wives have to do the same.

He began Naojiang, and the people beside him bowed their heads without saying a word.

The room is wrapped in very heavy air.

In an attempt to break such an atmosphere, Jiayang cut it out first.

"Fair enough, you lift your head, Lord Uesugi.

Now that it's over, why don't we work together to create a world without war for Tahei under the sky? "

"Ha."

When the raised head Jingsheng answered so briefly, he tied his mouth to a single letter and stared at Jiayang. And I don't start any other words.

It is not at all felt in its eyes, such as defiance. However, the color of its strong eyes and this bitter air were intolerable to the well-being of the family.

He sees good faith.

Then Honesty said, looking at the ceiling, like any other HR.

"That said, I received a delicious sake from Sakaki today... called Nara Liu's White..."

Jiayang said gladly to hammer the word of honesty.

"Oh! Was it! It's a corner, so why don't we talk a little while we drink and drink!

A sign of reconciliation, a dedication... what do you say?

"Don't be shy"

And, when returned in just one word, the air solidified to freeze again.

Jia Kang now takes a glimpse at the Bureau of Tea.

Then she just nodded, "You can't help it,"

"Princess Daisy, by the way. Life in Fushimi is getting longer, but is there anything wrong with you?

and spoke to Princess Kikuchi, the wife of Jingsheng.

I guess it's an operation to soothe the place from stories unique to women.

But...

"Nothing in particular"

and, as with my husband's scenic victory, I don't see any threads of conversation spreading at all.

Once again, a long silence ruled the place.

But if we keep cutting up the talks, it's coming out of your mouth.

"Tokugawa Jiayang was unable to have much conversation with Kaiseki Uesugi. You will not be able to grasp the heart of the minister or the great name of the world."

But they might say.

Jiayang was in real trouble.

… and there came another man, a man of no air, into the room.

"Father, thank you for waiting. It depends on your arrival from Edo."

It was Hideyoshi Tokugawa, the son of Jiayang Tokugawa, who came into the room with such a bright voice.

In his case,

"Strange things say strange and honest"

It's hard to say.

Quickly he bumped into doubt with no one about that bitter air.

"Yay!? Was this something you didn't want to talk about?

Or someone had misfortune in you...

This breath-taking air must have made you feel better. "

Hideyoshi sees Hideyoshi's family well.

Then just saying, "Don't talk to me," Jiayang distracted himself from that gaze.

But that would be a failure for the family.

Hideyoshi, who could not understand the air anywhere, turned his gaze to Nagae and Succession. Because the eyes of concurrence were glittering.

That's like, "Tell yourself a story," but don't just say...

Hideyoshi brilliantly drew his will from his eyes,

"What do you think? Naoke Mountain Castle Hall.

Was this difficult air something wrong?

This meeting is just a name for an apology, and after a proper chat, I hope it ends with a small feast for reconciliation... "

And I inquired.

Then I saw not only Jia Kang, but also the Bureau of Tea and Masayoshi Hideyoshi. When I was at home, I was staring at Hideyoshi.

- You idiot!

And just saying...

Then the concurrence, when he coughed with Cohon, breathed gently and asked Hideyoshi once again.

"Is it true that Lord Tokugawa Daikansen (Hideyoshi) wants me to explain why this air is heavy?

Honesty pinches his mouth desperately there.

"No, if you ask me, is this indeed heavy air? Then let's even let in the outside air.

From here, the red leaves in the courtyard look beautiful. "

But Hideyoshi won't allow it.

He won't change the subject until he's convinced.

"Mmm! Lord Hondo, that won't happen.

I'm late. Even though it's bad, if you know why the air weighs here, you might not be able to keep up with the rest of the story.

Come on, Mountain Castle Hall. Tell me. "

"So..."

And, as the concurrent stretched her sleeves steadily, she put her hands on the floor and lowered her head slightly.

And he began to open his mouth by tightening his expression even tighter than it was before.

"The weight of this air lies in what we have created, Lord Nakanaka Uesugi.

But if you put it right, it's all about getting to Tokugawachi Prefecture, and this means Tokugawachi Prefecture is weighing the air on the field, you can say.

Then this Naojiang Yamajo will explain why.

First and foremost, we were never in such a place.

For the righteousness of this time is upon Us, and there is no apology for us.

Even though we do not remember any bows drawn to the Tokugawanai Prefectural Palace, when the Tokugawanai Prefectural Palace was put on board by the words of Hideji Rachen Hori to carry out the Aizu conquest we were in, and furthermore took Aizu back from Oyama in front of us to Sekigahara, we lowered its spear when it was against 'righteousness' to follow the enemy's back.

I am thankful, but I must apologize. I am not thankful.

It is true that tormenting the people in the battle in the northeast may be contrary to Tianxia Tahei's 'righteousness', but if that is the case, we should apologize to Hideyoshi Toyotomi, who rules under heaven, and not Tokugawa Uchi.

If you want me to apologize for the earlier impeachment letter, if it originally started with Tokugawa Uchi being sent an unspoken impeachment letter by us, let's start with an apology from Tokugawa Uchi Uchi.

Next, if it's still for Tahei under heaven, and if you come chewing on your lips and lowering your head, there was so much tension in that Tokugawa Inner Prefectural Palace that you could no longer go through the rash and even feel the chills. But still, our lord is desperate to somehow make the air of the field an official meeting between the great names.

He tries to disturb the air by using his hand, which can be called a relief, to try to hold liquor and shake the subject on his stomach against such a tearful effort.

At the end of the sentence, the beginning and end of jumping from the mouth of the belated Lord Daimyo to 'Apologies Are All About Fame' or 'Feast'...

Now it is only natural that the heart of the Lord should be closed tightly and the air should be heavier. "

As if it were water from a river cut off by a weir, a great flood of words pours into the heavy air of the room.

And that cleans out the air in the room...

That didn't mean it was refreshing...

Instead, the air was heavier, and its weight on the arm above Jia Kang's side breath was greater.

Yes, Naoke and Tsune were not very good at reading the air again...

But that of the scenic victory is "silent," whereas that of the concurrence is "rap" …

Just as the convexities and concaves of the gear meshed well, this subordinate, too, and its disproportionate features, had created an incomparable bond of subordination.

And here was the reason Jiayang and others who knew it in advance didn't want to talk about it in tandem.

In that room, which has no longer frozen and fallen into an unpleasant atmosphere, the eight of them each keep their gaze in unison, and only time passes for mischief.

So Jia Kang put his strength into his belly, as he had decided to be prepared.

"Enough!

Are you willing or not to apologize! Let's hear it clearly from the mouth of Lord Jingsheng!

And, as Jiayang shook off the air, he stood up and let the scenery take a strong gaze.

The scenery stays seated and only its gaze is directed at Jiayang's eyes. That appearance, which does not try to distract him at all, tells the story of the strength of his will.

And he said it out loud, amazingly around him.

"It's all about the immorality of Uesugi!!

Honda Masayoshi turned his eyes to surprise him, but Jiayang shouted out loudly, losing here.

"If so, what are you going to do?!!?

"Sorry!!!!"

And when Jingsheng shook his voice as he screamed, he lowered his head to rub his head against the floor.

That goes on and on and on and on.

To that appearance, Jiayang gave instructions aloud as the aftermath of the scenery's screaming lingered.

"All right!! Heads up!

And Sado (about Hondo Masayoshi)!!

Let him bring the booze!! Quickly, a feast of reconciliation!!!

Lord Uesugi! I won't let you say no!! Tonight is a happy day for Tokugawa and Uesugi!

Let's call each other's ministers and have a drink!

I will not tolerate refusal!!

"Ha-ha-ha!!

and Jingsheng replied to be pushed by the furious momentum of the family well-being.

Part-time is trying to say something with his face blue, but his wife, the ship, has more control over her sleeves.

And when Jiayang, with his face bright red, lowered its heavy hips again somewhat, Tea's Bureau spoke in Jiayang's ear.

"Hehe, that's what I have in my lord. Wasabi fell in love again."

Jia Kang's face becomes even more red in the words.

When Tea's bureau hid her mouth with her sleeves, she narrowed her eyes and smiled happily from the bottom of her heart.

You settle for one thing...

And they thought...

And there came another man, a man with no idea of the air, in spite of his old body over sixty years old, with every liquor covered.

"Ha ha!!! That's the Great Raccoon of Edo!! If I let them compartmentalize it, it's all over the world!!

And when I thought that I came into the room with a large strand as I called Jiayang to raccoon, I lowered the kamen and handed them out as I threw the Ascension () to each other.

"Come on!! Time for booze!!! Neither Tokugawa nor Uesugi tonight!! And no top or bottom, let's all drink up a lot!!

Terra!! Come on in here, motherfucker!!

And when the old man made the decree out loud, he opened all the bamboos called bamboo and pulled the soldiers of Tokugawa inside, who were defending the perimeter of the room.

Plus the offerings of Uesugi Jingsheng, who was waiting outside the room, come into the room as well.

"Yikes!! Dance! Happy evening! haha!!

And the old man, who had changed the air exactly, had taken the initiative and started drinking to get sober.

"Hey... who are you... that old body..."

In contrast to Hideyoshi being taken, all others, including Jiayang,

"I can't help it..."

And he's dropping his shoulders disappointingly.

And Jiayang spoke resentfully toward the concurrence.

"It will be the Lord... who called him here..."

The concurrency smiles nicely,

"Do this! I don't like reading the air."

And I slapped myself on the forehead.

The name of this man who smashed the field air is Maeda Profit (assuming it's you)...

In future generations, he goes by the name of Keiji Maeda and Keijiro.

He is a man famous both for his deeds and his appearance as a ruinous "scuffler". Around this time, under the Kaiseki Kaisei, it was thought that he had grown up, but who thought what, along with Jingsheng and others, he was also coming to Kyoto.

Thus Tokugawa Jiayang's last great task in Fushimi was to be drawn to the curtain by the hands of men who did not understand the air.

And finally, I told the scenery as I thought.

"Yes, before you go to the land of Misawa, show your face to Hideyoshi Osaka Castle."

"Ha."

Especially without showing any resistance, Jingsheng acknowledged it when he replied briefly.

Jia Kang's face was dusted by the way it looked.

Then the bureau of Tea arrived about time and near Jiayang and whispered in his ear again.

"My lord... you look so nasty right now."

"Ugh, shut up!

"Anyway, 'I'm the only one who doesn't want to feel this way. I'll do the same for Hideyoshi."

"Chi, chi, no!

"Heh heh, if you don't have a good guide, it's important."

"Hey, what do you think the Lord is thinking!?

"Come on... I wonder what the woes are thinking... hehe"

And when the bureau of Tea told him to wrap it around Kamu, he went to Princess Daisy and the ship again.

This is only three days from now.

Tokugawa Jiayang and the heavy ministers took off Fushimi Castle and moved to Edo.

Finally, the manners of each of the great names have been dropped, in order to consolidate the land for the creation of a new regime.

Yes, he had already decided.

It is no exaggeration to say that he created it from scratch, from Osaka and Fushimi, influenced by the warlords and merchants of the Toyotomi benefactory, to the land of Edo...

And the same day... Osaka Castle...

"Ha!! The lords are hilarious!!

and among the castle lords was wrapped in laughter from the bottom of Hideyoshi's heart.

There, as always, with his mouth tied to a single letter, the scenery staring at excellence and the concurrent appearance of a smile beside him.

There was one here too...

There's an airless boy laughing "funny" at how it looks without the heavy air created by this superior Sugi family lord...

Is it because of his youth, or because of his vessels...

Even with the heavenly jury and the prestigious Naoke Succession, it could not be judged.

But just speaking of what I know...

That the air in that room they are in now is light and bright everywhere…

And it was the man who was creating the air that was the boy's abundant minister.
