Coincidentally, Tokugawa Taiyasu arrived without losing the opportunity.
Very happy to see all the chaos.
However, there was a worried look on his face: "All the clan leaders are the economic pillars of the Japanese country. They must not fight among themselves, lest Yan Qi of Dahua see the joke."
"Come on, let's calm down your anger and follow me back to the post house first. Let's discuss the long-term plan."
…
All the chaebol patriarchs followed Tokugawa Taiyasu back to the inn.
Tokugawa Taiyasu said: "Fellow clan leaders, please listen to me. Three clan leaders had urgent matters and couldn't wait any longer, so they found me and wanted to enter the palace alone to meet the British Lord."
"Based on reality and considering that the three clan leaders did have important matters at home, I communicated with the British Lord and arranged for the three clan leaders to enter the palace and meet the British Lord."
"This matter is not easy to publicize. In order to avoid the displeasure of all the clan leaders, I had to do it secretly. Here, I apologize to everyone."
When the patriarchs heard Tokugawa Taiyasu's apology, they could not continue to be cold-faced.
The scene calmed down.
Tokugawa Taiyasu seized the opportunity and continued: "These three clan leaders went to the palace to hold talks with the British Lord. It can be said that they have achieved fruitful results."
"The British Lord warmly received the three patriarchs and discussed economic issues together. Many economic problems were easily solved."
"In order to commend these three patriarchs for their courage to be the first, the British Lord also exempted the three patriarchs from taxes for the next year."
When all the chaebol patriarchs heard this, they were so angry that smoke came out of their noses.
idiot!
Everyone looked at the three clan leaders with contemptuous expressions.
The three clan leaders knew that they were in the wrong and did not dare to say anything. They lowered their heads and said nothing, like children who had done something wrong.
Tokugawa Taiyasu was persuasive: "However, don't worry, everyone, wait until the British master fully recovers, and then rush to the post house to meet everyone. I believe everyone will also be able to benefit from the British master's economic reform."
"Three months, only three months, no need to worry."
"Okay, clan leaders, I have explained everything clearly to everyone. I still have something important to do, so I need to take the first step."
"slow!"
Some clan leaders immediately stood up and stopped Tokugawa Taiyasu.
Tokugawa Taiyasu asked: "Do you have anything else to do, clan leaders?"
Everyone was talking.
"We also want to meet the British Lord."
"Yeah, we can't wait, see you tomorrow morning."
"We can't delay it any longer. We are also anxious. We have completed the major issues of economic reform and we have to rush back."
…
There was a lot of noise and chaos.
Tokugawa Taiyasu said: "However, the British master has not fully recovered and cannot leave the palace. Please understand and wait patiently, clan leaders."
"The British Lord cannot leave the palace, but we can enter the palace."
"That is, the Lord is in poor health. Our bodies can walk and run. Isn't it possible for us to enter the palace?"
"Lord Tokugawa, we must enter the palace."
…
Tokugawa Taiyasu had a look of surprise: "If all the clan leaders come into the palace and meet the British Lord, which I wish for, this problem will be solved and the negotiations can proceed immediately. It's just..."
Everyone asked: "Just what?"
Tokugawa Taiyasu looked embarrassed: "There are too many people entering the palace. They are against the rules and chaotic. It is absolutely forbidden."
Everyone asked: "Why are there so many people?"
"There are only a few of us."
"With these few people, do you think there are too many people?"
Tokugawa Taiyasu said: "When the clan leaders enter the palace, there are naturally not many people. However, the clan leaders bring ninjas and samurai with them. That is against the rules."
"It is impossible for warriors or ninjas to appear in the palace."
"When the three clan leaders entered the palace, they were not equipped with warriors or ninjas."
When the clan leaders heard this, they made a lot of noise.
"Who said we have to bring warriors? We'll go in alone."
"We don't bring ninjas either, and the three clan leaders don't bring them, so there's no need for us to bring ninjas."
"Who do you think we are? We know the rules, we are not stupid."
…
Tokugawa Taiyasu was overjoyed, but had some reluctance on his face: "However, the safety of the clan leaders is very important. It seems inappropriate not to bring samurai and ninjas for protection. I think it is better to wait until after March for the British Lord to come. Posthouse, let’s visit the clan leaders.”
A group of clan leaders immediately became furious.
"Lord Tokugawa, what do you mean? Aren't we worthy of entering the palace?"
"What's the matter? We can't even enter the palace? How much do you look down on us? Eunuchs can enter, but we can't? Are we worse than eunuchs?"
"Tokugawa Taiyasu, what are you worried about? We want to enter the palace, but you resist us? If you do this, how can the Lord tolerate you?"
Everyone began to clamor and even abuse Tokugawa Taiyasu.
Tokugawa Taiyasu's attitude became more and more pro-active: "Heads of the clan, calm down, calm down. I am also considering the personal safety of the clan heads. I am doing this out of good intentions..."
Everyone was even more annoyed.
"You're so kind, don't let me go tomorrow, we have to enter the palace tonight, we can't wait any longer."
"Now, right now, we are going to the palace."
"Tokugawa Taiyasu, if you dare to push back again, be careful that we give you little shoes to wear in the future."
…
Tokugawa Taiyasu agreed in a panic: "Okay, I will make arrangements right away. Clan leaders, please wait patiently."
He immediately sent someone to make arrangements for entering the palace.
"Don't worry, clan leaders. It only takes an hour to make the arrangements. No, I will go and make the arrangements myself. Half an hour is enough."
Tokugawa Taiyasu mounted his horse and galloped straight to the palace.
The expression on his face was panic, but in his heart, he could no longer control his excitement.
…
The heads of the chaebol clan looked at the back of Tokugawa Taiyasu galloping on his horse, and they couldn't help but smile proudly.
"You dare to play with us? You're looking for death."
"That's right, it's Tokugawa Taiyasu who stopped us from entering the palace. He is really cowardly."
"He is playing a big trick in front of us, so he deserves to die. I will decide for the palace."
…
They were very excited at the moment.
They completely forgot that just a dozen days ago, they kept secret about the palace.
I didn't dare to go in at all, for fear of something going wrong.
But what about now? They were not allowed to enter, but they insisted on entering.
If you don’t go in, why are you so impatient?
Even samurai and ninjas are not allowed to enter.
I have to go in even at night.
Why this change?
Isn’t it because he fell into Tokugawa Taiyasu’s trick?
…
Soon!
Tokugawa Taiyasu came back, his eyes wandering, as if he was a little afraid of the clan leader's expression: "Well... well... I have kept you guys waiting for a long time, and I have already made arrangements for entering the palace. However, it is already late at night, so why don't you guys Clan leader, please rest first, and it won’t be too late to enter the palace early tomorrow morning.”
"You must enter the palace now."
"No one can stop us."
"Can't stop for a moment."
"Why don't you lead the way?"
…
The chaebol patriarchs walked past the humble Tokugawa Taiyasu one by one.
Don't you know that behind Tokugawa Taiyasu's humble expression, there is hidden evil intention.
