Celebrating 12 Years (1607) July 3 -
Finally, the time has come for Tokugawa Jiayang to leave Kyo.
Jia Kang was based in Kyo after the outbreak of Wenlu in four years (1595).
While Kanto's rule remained intact, it began to be half-compulsorily convened by Hideyoshi Tai.
Then twelve years actually pass.
Now that I think about it, if I hadn't gone up to Kyo at that time, I wouldn't have had a position of my own right now, Jiayang has to think so.
So much so that what you can see here from Kyo was wide out of step compared to when you were in Migawa or Edo.
The situation in each country, the great names, and ourselves, namely the Tokugawa family…
The fact that various objects appeared to be really objective and in hand was the best way to make an accurate decision about what kind of hand to strike next.
That has been the same since he placed the political office stronghold, or shogun, in Edo.
He has calmly measured his strength and has never forced himself to continue to look at the consolidation of the foundations of the Shogun of Edo with the eyes of others.
As a result, we can say that in just a few years we have come to consolidate a strong ground until we are able to cede the housekeeper to our son.
But...
It must be remembered that at the same time the fact that "you see things you don't want to see" follows you around at the same time.
A man named Tokugawa Jiayang has been accustomed to the matter of his hands since he was a child, although he would fall into the category of living and dying people and ugly love dramas.
Because from the time I got around things, I've surrounded myself with rare inclusiveness and patience with realities that would break my heart if I were a normal human being, such as being treated as a hostage, driving my oldest son and my rightful chamber to death, and even my beloved second son being buried in a conspiracy as a result.
And it goes without saying that such a number of hard experiences have made his nerves thicker like a thousand years old giant tree, a force to walk the main road to pale and underneath the heavens without being shaken by emotions.
But now he's finally leaving the city of Kyo, where he's used to living, to separate certain emotions.
What is that emotion...
Love...
And for that...
Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Chihime.
I mean, briefly, he realized that he felt more love for Hideyoshi Toyotomi and Chihime than he needed to.
Regardless, if a person is asked if it is' evil 'to love a person, then everyone will say no.
But that's something else, just in case you're an uncluttered person.
Even ghosts can be likened to defeating their beloved opponents as enemies.
That is, the defeat of the Toyotomi family in the near future was an inevitable path for the Tokugawa family, and to create a Tokugawa world that would last forever, he and the people around him were so convinced that the emotions of "love" of the family could no longer be anything but the afterlife's evil roots.
I know a hundred things about that in my head.
But the mind and the body are things that sometimes strongly deny the dominance of the head.
He was in exactly that state now.
Because...
Because I can't help but think of Chihime, a little girl who is sparing her goodbyes and holding her in tears.
And since this hand, which strokes the head of a boy named Hideyoshi Toyotomi, who looks at her so tenderly, is full of mercy, it's not a lie again...
Perhaps in the last decade, I know best that my body will stop listening.
That's why I envy the young boy in front of me, and I'm not looking forward to his fate.
It is a kind of instinct that is necessary for a person to prosper as an organism.
But the reality is that you have to crush that young bud while your body's freedom works.
But only in front of the two young men, who now so vigorously spare their farewell to themselves, do I want to forget that reality.
Tokugawa Jiayang didn't wish that way.
But the gaze of the Tokugawa family who came to see him off was really cold.
People close to him, including Hondo Genuine and Atcha's Bureau, will be thinking this when they see the scene of his breakup with Hideyoshi and Chihime today.
- Your Majesty is really good at acting.
and…
Inside Jiayang's chest, who receives their colorless and transparent gaze on his back, yet another self, like a mechanical doll, pushes him to the hegemony of heavenly retrieval...... i.e. the absolute monarch, Jiayang Tokugawa, nicknamed 'Shinto' in future generations, gives him a peek in the face.
- This is an act. It's just a big play to alert Toyotomi.
When such devilish whispers echoed directly into his own head, he could see his body temperature dropping to collapse.
A boy and a girl in front of him as soon as possible will only appear inorganic, like a mere figurine.
- Don't forget. The Lord is no longer a 'man'. It's a god who brings Tahei to the sun.
I am no longer a 'person'...
That painful word wipes out his color completely.
That's...
What you least want to lose than people are people......
He eats up his teeth in his heart, and whether he is desperately a 'man', he will be anti- (oh) the gear of history.
But he was no longer a 'man', following one step and another away from Hideyoshi and Chihime.
- Didn't you decide to do this already...
Give up! Give up! Give it up!
The gaze of the Tokugawa family who would drop him off trampled his heart relentlessly.
But it is the admiration and respect of Jiayou who travels to Sun Fu as a great place, and it is in no way harmful.
Because I know that by now, it's painful for Jia Hang.
He puts a pulled grin on his face and waves on his horse to the people who drop him off.
Desiring a horse instead of a cage is just a decoration to foil him as a building beam in a martial family.
The existence of Tokugawa Jiayang is no longer entirely remote from the floating world, it was the expectation of those around it, so to speak, an open fact.
And...
Only the sound of a horse's hoof kicking the ground, not the surrounding cheer, came to reach in his ear then......
Another self, with a piece of 'man' mind, shouted the final shout...
- Tokugawa Jiayang!! What is your Lord's 'dream'!?
Shortly after this scream rang in my head, like a bell...
- Hihin!!
Unconsciously, he retrieved the horse's neck.
And when he kicked the belly of the horse, he returned to the straight line.
The people around them are stunned, and no one can help them.
That was the person he was aiming for...... I mean Hideyoshi Toyotomi was the same again.
Jiayang, who stopped the horse in front of Hideyoshi, stuffs it all the way to Hideyoshi when he descends the horse in a light motion like a youth.
Hideyoshi, who rounded his eyes to surprise, takes a step back, as if pushed by Jiayang's temper.
But Jia Kang never let him escape.
- Gassi!!
When you put your hands on Hideyoshi's shoulders, you eat your fingers with such a powerful force that you don't think you're very old.
And he told him, staring into his brilliant eyes with a sharp look like King Jen's.
"Hideyoshi! I'll only ask you once! Be the son of Hideyoshi!! If you do, I'll give you 300,000 stones combined with the upper and lower total!!
Let the Lord and Thousand live in the Honmaru Palace in Edo!!
Wouldn't that be better already!! Take Osaka... Drop Toyotomi!!
In the words of Jiayang during the thunder, the soft atmosphere changes until then.
The people's faces turned bright blue in the chills that exactly deserved to be said to freeze.
The same is true of Hideyoshi, who is the destination of Jiayang's words.
I'm losing my words, and I'm just staring at Jiayang's face to the point where the hole opens.
For a while, the time continued for Jiayang and Hideyoshi to look at each other.
- Please! Do as I say! That way we can save your Lord's life!
the colour of the plea that
- If you miss this opportunity, you can no longer forgive me!
The colors of intimidation mingle like a Tai Chi mark in one gaze.
Hideyoshi's eyes were nothing more than staring blankly into his head.
While no one makes a sound and even silence reigns...
One man echoed his voice.
"Your Highness. If it's important, I'm not going to respond to you right now."
This is exactly what God-fearless speech is about.
Was there a human being in the world who could give water to the deeds of housekeeping...
The eyes of men gathered to the man's face.
The man's name...
Yukimura Maida...
But Jia Kang's will was as hard as iron, and he never gave me a glimpse into the cold water bathed by Happy Village.
Still, its ringing sound was sufficient to restore Hideyoshi's heart to its original place.
Hideyoshi quietly lays his own hands on Jiayang's hands.
When the bloody, humane warmth loosened Jia Kang's hardened hands, Hideyoshi only stepped away from Jia Kang's side.
And...
With a small smile, he bowed his head deeply.
"Thank you very much and I apologize for your resignation"
The word opens Jiayang's eyes.
"How could you... how could you say no!?
Hideyoshi, who raised his face, continued in a calm state, like the sea of spring.
"If you abandon Osaka and Toyotomi to your own cuteness, there are many people who pity you, so... you can't accept what you're saying."
"If so! Then how can you take it?!? Territory!? If you had half a million, would you take it!?
Still desperately eating home health.
But Hideyoshi slowly shook his neck to the side with a calm expression.
"Whatever happens, you can't abandon your pride as a man."
"Pride as a person... Bye..."
"It is so good to see you. Abandoning Toyotomi is the same thing, that is, abandoning pride as a person.
Let's pity our father in heaven, our mother in Osaka, and our high court in Kyoto. "
"The Lord... the Lord does not give up being a 'man'... do you say so?
Hideyoshi nods cocklessly.
And with a clear voice, I told him straight away.
"You can dream because you are a person. I know my father's dream."
"His Highness Tai Chi's dreams... what the...? That's..."
Hideyoshi never answered the question.
When I turn my back on Jiayang and take Chihime's hand, I slowly walk away from him.
And finally, when he bowed deeply to his family well-being, he left the scene with a meagre offering.
At this moment...
Tokugawa Jiayang abandoned people.
That is, he quit dreaming.
No, if Tahei Tenshita's former and Tokugawa's world were to be his' dream 'for centuries to come, there would be a discourse to describe it as' abandoned '.
Because he moved his base from Kyo to Sun Fu as a total finish for this purpose.
But if you're asked what "dream" is, doesn't that mean "view"?
Such a brightly colored view with heartfelt happiness and the smiles of loved ones.
Isn't it something that people admire the view and build up their efforts to get it?
If you think about it that way, the brightly colored view that should be "Dream" is no longer visible in Jiayang's brain, so he still deserves to describe it as abandoning "Dream".
In other words, to him, making the world of Tokugawa is no longer a task, but a duty.
Eliminate those that should be eliminated for this purpose.
There was no more cloudiness, so to speak, I was firmly determined to deal with it.
So why did he abandon the 'dream'?
The answer to that question is indeed simple.
To the scenery that will be his' dream '...
Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Chihime's smile were included.
◇ ◇
Thus the total finishing touches by Tokugawa Jiayang raised the curtain.
As a prelude to that, what he did.
It was a "monopoly of artillery production" and the production of artillery was strictly forbidden in the blacksmiths of each region.
And the object of the touch naturally included Osaka and Kyo.
