"General Jinghua will send a large army to defend Edo City for the Zuofu, and the Zuofu can rest assured to send troops to fight."
If this was a "good intention" that could be rejected, Tokugawa Ieyasu would definitely refuse it. Unfortunately, he knew very well that Kyoka's "good intention" could never be rejected.
Jinghua has been deeply involved in Japan for a long time. Others may only know that Jinghua is very strong, but how strong it is is completely unknown to most people, or even incomprehensible.
Ordinary Japanese people have a very simple and superficial understanding of power and power, and the most intuitive expression is nothing more than Shi Gao. For example, Tokugawa Ieyasu, as Zuofu, already owned 2.55 million koku in Hideyoshi's later years, ranking first in Japan, so he was also the first of the five elders.
In fact, in the whole of Japan, only Toyotomi Hideyoshi himself is not among the ranks of "heroes based on their stone height", because theoretically Hideyoshi's stone height is only about 2.2 million stone, which is not as good as Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Then there is a question. Since Ieyasu's stone height is even higher than that of Hideyoshi, why did Ieyasu follow Hideyoshi instead of the other way around?
In fact, the reason for this has been mentioned before. To put it simply, the 2.2 million koku of the Toyotomi family refers to the Toyotomi family's direct jurisdiction and hiding place. If you include the territories of daimyo loyal to the Toyotomi family, such as Ukita Hideie, Kato Kiyomasa, Ishida Mitsunari and others, then the Toyotomi regime occupies almost half of the territory in Japan.
Secondly, Toyotomi Hideyoshi did not pay attention to the nominal size of the territory and the food output of the territory, but rather to the more important military strongholds and commercial cities, including gold and silver mines directly under the Toyotomi regime and businesses like Osaka and Sakai. City.
Some people in later generations who read the history of Japan's Warring States Period or the Edo Shogunate will have questions: Why did Hideyoshi only leave 650,000 koku to Hideyori and hide it in the ground? In fact, this question itself is wrong. In fact, what Hideyoshi left to Hideyori was more than 2.2 million koku, various gold and silver mine resources, and a commercial city directly under the jurisdiction, and it was by no means only 650,000 koku.
As for the later reduction of Hideyori's hiding place from more than 2.2 million to 650,000 koku, it was mainly due to the reward awarded by Tokugawa after the Battle of Sekigahara and the private annexation of local hiding places by local daimyo.
One thing can be seen from this. Hideyoshi's hiding places were scattered across the country, but at the same time they were relatively concentrated in Kinki and Kitakyushu - the remaining 650,000 koku. As for the reasons for this situation, there are factors such as inspection of the land, supervision of local daimyo, and Hideyoshi's strategy.
Putting aside the large amount of complicated data that most people are too lazy to calculate in detail, the conclusion is as follows in simple terms: Although Tokugawa Ieyasu produced a lot of grain, the army he could support with his financial resources was actually only about 70,000, and the equipment level was only Generally speaking, except for the bannermen (pro-army), most of them are not top-notch.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi was different. Leaving aside the 2.2 million stones hidden in the ground, he still had an annual income of 4,400 pieces of gold and 93,000 pieces of silver. Coupled with the power of his own vassal generation, he could only risk his life with only Compared to Tokugawa, who could raise an army of 70,000, he could easily raise an army of 250,000.
This is a huge gap in financial resources!
However, so what? Ieyasu now has a basic understanding of Kyoka's strength. If Jinghua is willing, not only can it easily bring more than 200,000 troops to Japan, but its equipment level - especially the firearms troops and cavalry troops - is enough to completely crush Japan's most elite army.
I almost forgot, there is also a navy. Japan and Jinghua are completely incomparable in this regard. Judging from the performance of both navies in the Korean War, Jinghua did not even need to use the Nanyang Fleet, the stronger of the two ocean fleets. Only the Beiyang Fleet could hoist the entire Japanese navy and fight at will. Even Ieyasu doubted that the Kanto Squadron alone could do this.
What does overwhelming naval superiority mean for Japan? This is actually self-evident, which means that Jinghua can attack any position it wants to attack at any time, and the Japanese army can only eat shit while running around.
Tokugawa Ieyasu, who had been fighting all his life, knew very well that there was no need to fight this kind of war. No matter how hard he fought, he would lose. There was not even half a chance of winning. It was just making people laugh.
The only thing Ieyasu can rely on is that although Gao Pragmatic has such power, he will not easily mobilize such a scale of power. Also as a "ruler", Ieyasu knew very well that power should not be abused, and he believed that Gao Pragmatic's understanding of this would never be shallower than his.
Speaking of which, Hideyoshi's biggest mistake in recent years was not the abuse of power? Even though his abuse does have his helplessness, the truth is still the same.
Unless absolutely necessary, war is always the next best option. Use your power to suppress others and use your power to convince others. This is the way to go. In fact, Ieyasu has always been a mid-range expert, and now it seems that Gao Pragmatism is also the same.
Since power is used, the comparison between the two sides is who is more powerful, and other conspiracies and tricks are of little significance. Just like Ieyasu at this moment, because he knew that his opponent would never be stupider than him, when the opponent made it clear that he was going to use this kind of conspiracy to suppress others with power, all Ieyasu could do was obey.
"Ieyasu is so grateful for such care from Tingnanden that I dare not say anything... I would also like to ask Misaki-den to take care of me in the future." Tokugawa Ieyasu felt bitter in his heart, but his chubby face showed a tremor of extreme gratitude. Look at that look, and he even felt like he was about to do it. The urge to cry.
Seeing his appearance, Kafiji was also filled with emotions. It was not that she was fooled by Ieyasu's performance, on the contrary, she felt that people like Ieyasu could really afford to take things up and let them go, and they had no concerns about Zuofu's distinguished status. No wonder the master always thought highly of him. . Not to mention some adults with arrogant personalities, even she thought it would be difficult for her to achieve the level of Ieyasu... That kind of obedience and docility looked completely real.
"There's another thing. Maybe I'm overthinking it, but...it's better to inform Zuofu first." Kaiji thought for a while, and finally said it: "My master made a judgment before I returned to Japan. He believed that once the Great Nayan passed away, conflicts between the two factions would inevitably break out, and there might be many emergencies. He asked me to be prepared.
I think that no matter what kind of emergency situation, the first priority is to ensure your safety in Zuofu, especially to ensure that you can return to Edo safely. Therefore, I have planned arrangements for Osaka, Kyoto, Sakai Town and other Kinki areas, so that they can be used as a hidden force to coordinate with Zuofu when necessary. During this time, Zuofu can do whatever you think you must do without worrying about your life. "
Tokugawa Ieyasu took a deep breath, bowed down and thanked them: "The great kindness of Dingnan Hall and Misaki Hall, Ieyasu will never forget it."
Kaiji originally wanted to observe Ieyasu's reaction when she said these words, but she didn't expect that Ieyasu's castle was really deep, and she couldn't tell at all.
It doesn't matter, if you can't see it, you can't see it. Anyway, no matter how capable you are, under the master's careful arrangements, you can only move forward step by step and in the direction pointed out by the master...
"Well, Zuofu is a busy man, so I won't bother you any more." Jia Fei Ji Shiran stood up, gave a slight salute, and said, "I'm sorry to say goodbye."
Ieyasu stood up and returned the greeting, and asked in surprise, "It's already late, Misaki-don is leaving now?"
Kaiji smiled bitterly and said: "It's not easy for me to come here... The Ministry of Internal Affairs believes that it is very dangerous to come here at this time. Now that I have told Zuofu everything that needs to be said, won't I make things difficult for them if I don't leave?"
Ieyasu suddenly realized.
Jinghua's Ministry of Internal Affairs has great power, and Ieyasu knows this to some extent. Although he doesn't know much about the specific situation, it is obvious that even Kaiji does not have the power to order people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. On the contrary, the Ministry of Internal Affairs seems to have the power to restrict Kafiji's movements.
What does this mean? While Ieyasu personally sent Misaki-don away respectfully, he thought to himself: Perhaps the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs around Misaki-don not only have the duty to protect her, but also have the task of monitoring her? After all, she is Japanese after all.
Two flowers bloom, one on each side. Let’s talk about the Maeda Dainagonfu after Kaikou left.
As soon as Ieyasu was sent away, Toshiie Maeda's spirit immediately became unbearable and he became even more stooped and weak than before.
"A Song, I'm tired. When a person is extremely tired, his mind will be in chaos... It's really scary!" The disease has tortured Lijia to the point where it is difficult to even sit up. At this time, Li Jia finally dragged his heavy body back to the room, panting, and even speaking seemed extremely laborious.
Mrs. Asong hurriedly asked Li Jia to sit on the bed, moved a table for him to lean on, gently rubbed his back, and then asked: "Are you going to rest now?"
"No, sit still for a while." Li Jia quietly put his fist on his forehead, as if listening to the voice coming from far away. After a long time, he said in a strange tone: "A Song, at the gate just now, I suddenly had a strange idea, it would be nice if Ieyasu died too."
Mrs. Asong was startled: "What are you talking about?"
"Look, I just said it. People tend to have random thoughts when they are tired. I said clearly that people should be on guard, but in my heart I thought: If Mitsunari suddenly attacks and kills Ieyasu..."
Asong opened his eyes wide in surprise, but said nothing. She knew that her husband usually hated people who were both obedient and disobedient, so why did he say such strange things today.
"I have entrusted my family affairs to Ieyasu."
"I've heard what Toshiro said."
"I want to tell you something that cannot be known to outsiders... After entrusting the matter to Ieyasu, I finally breathed a sigh of relief... But I also thought, if Sancheng suddenly gets rid of Ieyasu, then I will... Become a Buddha."
Ah Song didn't answer, but continued to rub Li Jia's back quietly. Entrusting everything to a person she wanted to get rid of... Asong knew that her husband was loyal and upright throughout his life. Because of this, she felt even more painful for him.
"I am actually a wicked person. I never recite Buddhist scriptures, so I will definitely not be able to go to the Pure Land." After Li Jia said this, he immediately closed his mouth. Despite this, he refused to sleep until news of Ieyasu's safety arrived.
After some time, Brother Toshinaga came to report that Zuofu had arrived at Todo House safely, and at the same time reported: "Zuofu is not going anywhere. He will return to Fushimi by boat early tomorrow morning. All arrangements are in place."
Is Li Jia relieved or feeling disappointed? Mrs. Asson wanted to know. But at least he stopped scolding people and persuaded them to take medicine and drink it obediently. Mrs. Asong thought, maybe he was chanting sutras silently in his heart?
March 21st was the tenth day after Ieyasu returned to Fushimi. On this day, the Li family suddenly asked Asong to write his last words for him.
On this day, as usual, Maeda Mansion was crowded with guests who came to visit the patient. Among them, there are those who are sincerely worried about Li Jia, and there are also those with ulterior motives who want to monitor Li Jia's condition to determine how to place bets in the future. Moreover, these people unanimously divided into two groups and sat in two rooms, which is really thought-provoking.
Of course, Ishida Harubu Shaosuke Mitsunari almost never left Maeda House during this period. However, the Li family did not see him often. At this time, apart from occasionally seeing their two sons, the Lee family spent most of their time with Mrs. Asson.
"I have been thinking about Taige during these days of lying in bed. I understand some of Taige's thoughts, and some I don't understand. But no matter what, you must listen to my last words first."
Asong forced a smile and said, "I will definitely comply with your last wish."
Lijia lay on his back on the bed and gently closed his eyes. Asong brought a pen and paper and sat next to Lijia's pillow.
"First, about Sonshiro..." Opening his eyes slightly, Toshiya smiled. Sun Shiro is good at politics.
But as soon as he mentioned Li Zheng, he seemed to have thought of something else, "A Song... the only thing I'm better than Tai Ge is that I can let you write my last words for me."
"You are joking again."
"No, this is not a joke. I appreciate you from the bottom of my heart."
"Let's get down to business. I'll write it if you want."
"Okay... Sonshiro, let him go to Kanazawa first. Divide the sixteen thousand people into two, and half of them will be stationed in Osaka. All the troops in Kanazawa will be under the control of Sonshiro." The Toshi family said in great detail. See I've been working hard on this.
A Song was afraid that he had misunderstood his true meaning, so he took notes while confirming. Toshiie said that the 16,000 men and horses were divided into two and stationed in Kanazawa and Osaka. Osaka was of course under the command of Toshinaga, while the 8,000 people in Kanazawa City were commanded by Tosimasa, and were led by the old man Shinohara Dewa and a confidant of Toshinaga. Auxiliary and beneficial administration.
Secondly, all the gold, silver, utensils, and even documents in Kanazawa City were transferred to Li Long. Therefore, if the benefits are greater than three years, there must be no thought of returning to Kaga.
The Li family on the hospital bed thought about it and saw through the future situation: within three years at most, there will be chaos in the world, and this arrangement can stabilize the rear.
Asong read it to Lijia from beginning to end again, and Lijia suddenly said: "There is one more thing." He suddenly opened his eyes, with strange passion burning in his eyes.
Asong couldn't help but feel horrified. The Li family often mentioned the first two to Asong, but Asong was not surprised. But Asong couldn't guess the remaining one, and Li Jia's eyes made her uneasy.
"Yes, there is one more thing that must be added. Are you ready?"
"Ready."
"Tell the two brothers that in the event of a war, no matter what the enemy situation is or who they choose to help, they must be the first to fight out of the territory and defend the enemy from the outside. Once the flames of war reach the territory, I will go to Jiuquan. I can’t rest in peace!”
Toshiie stared sadly at the roof for a long time, and said in a low and slow voice: "Nobunaga never sat still and waited for death. He always took the initiative to attack and always gained. Don't forget this... Okay, that's all. .”
Asong held his breath and wrote them down one by one. Undoubtedly, the last one is Maeda Toshiie's review of the past, his nostalgia for the days when he was the brave servant of Lord Nobunaga. In the event of a war, one must not wait for the enemy to attack, but should be the first to send troops and start a decisive battle within the territory of another country. This was Maeda Toshiie's determination.
Who does the Lee family want to fight? This was undoubtedly what Asong was worried about, but she didn't dare to ask easily. She knew that even if she asked, Li Jia might not be willing to answer. Otherwise, when Ieyasu returns for a visit, he will not trust the children.
However, Mrs. Asong noticed that there was a very key sentence in what Li Jia just said: "No matter what the enemy situation is, no matter who they choose to help." Perhaps, he gave the choice to his sons?
After writing it, the Li family has a look. At this time, the burning fighting spirit in his eyes had gradually extinguished, and his expression returned to its former peace.
"I always thought that Taige was a hero in his later years and his brain had become dull. But now it seems that this is not the case." Asong did not answer, took the suicide note and put it at the bottom of the document box.
"I finally understood that it doesn't matter how big or small a person is, strong or weak. In fact, in the end, we are all the same."
"Of course. That's why all living beings take refuge in Buddha equally."
"It's Buddha again..." Li Jia muttered, showed a wry smile, and sighed: "It's spring in the world now, but I..." He was filled with emotion, closed his eyes, and shook his head gently: "There is always something in my ears. The autumn wind was blowing, and I was facing the autumn wind alone...I couldn't see a single person around me."
"Haha... That's because everyone keeps a distance from you."
"Am I blocking their way to heaven?"
"Since you understand, you will go to welcome others to heaven soon."
"Haha... I still get your comfort. Okay, I'll go ahead and come to greet you when you leave." As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jia snored and seemed to sleep peacefully.
After that, the Li family seemed calmer, but suddenly became agitated, and added some last words. In the end, the number had been increased to eleven. Of course, these latter are just more detailed notes on the first three.
From the 21st of March to the 3rd day of leap March, Maeda Toshiie lost weight rapidly, as if he would fall into a peaceful sleep forever at any moment. Since March 28, relatives have stopped going out, and visiting relatives and friends have filled the room.
As a military general, Danaya could die peacefully. In troubled times, this kind of situation is rare... People are talking about this, with envy in their words.
The Lee family went to the battlefield at the age of thirteen and experienced countless bloody storms. They fought hand-to-hand with the enemy, fought bloody battles, and escaped from death no less than nine times. They beheaded twenty-six enemy generals alone. It was truly a military career.
If his fate was unfavorable, he might have been exposed to the battlefield long ago. But in the end, he was able to receive 1.5 million shi, became the Great Nyan, and finally passed away peacefully on the tatami. With such a life, it is natural to be envied by others.
On the third day of the third month of leap month, Li Jia suddenly sat up from the bed, grabbed the sky with both hands, and shouted. Asong was shocked and pressed his shoulders. "What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare? There are still some hours before dawn." As she said this, she clapped her hands and asked someone to bring the soup.
Asong didn't hear clearly what Li Jia was calling. But then, his body bent like a prawn and he kept coughing.
"Take the decoction quickly to stop the cough." Asong said urgently.
It was very cold at dawn, so she ordered someone to bring the long blouse that the Li family usually wore, put it on him, and brought the soup to him. Ke Lijia suddenly grabbed the medicine bowl, threw it on the tatami, and yelled with all his strength: "A Song, dagger!"
"Dagger...what are you going to do?"
"You have nothing to do with it! Bring Shindo Gokuni Hikaru..." Toshiya suddenly went crazy, leaned out and took the dagger from the knife holder beside the pillow.
Asong thought Lijia hadn't woken up from the nightmare yet, so he desperately grabbed his arm. Could it be that he dreamed about the impermanence of black and white, and that evil spirits and ghosts came to seek his life?
"Calm down, don't be afraid. Nightmares are normal, don't be afraid."
"Let... let go... let go! I was wrong! I understand..."
"No, you are right. When you were young and fighting on the battlefield, you committed some terrible sins. But look at this..." Asong took out the white shroud sewn for her husband, waved it in front of the Li family, and insisted: "Look at this, if you put on this shroud, you can enter the paradise world. Don't be afraid, just recite the Buddha's name with peace of mind."
Lijia stared at Asong, stopped coughing, two black lines of blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and his breathing became weaker and weaker, making people's hair stand on end.
He was not dreaming... In an instant, Asong understood that he must want to say something else.
"What's wrong with you? What do you want to say?" Asong hurriedly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, put his mouth to Li Jia's ear, and called loudly.
Li Jia opened his bloodshot eyes and stared at Asong. He wanted to say something, but his tongue no longer obeyed his command, and his mind seemed to be confused.
"Calm down and speak slowly." Asong whispered in Li Jia's ear again, trying to quietly take the dagger from his hand. A seriously ill person who is on the verge of death must not hold a sharp knife, otherwise he may accidentally injure Asong.
But as soon as Osomatsu touched his arm, Toshiya shook her hand away as if she was being stabbed, shouting hoarsely: "Don't touch me! Shin... Shindo Gokokumitsu..."
"What time has it been? Why are you still holding a knife?"
"Shin...Shindou Go is...it's me...the spirit of my Tori family!"
"In this case, we will let you keep it with you forever, put it down, and give it to you in the future..."
"I... I... regret it so much."
"what did you say?"
"I regret! Regret...regret." Asong was startled and took a step back. This time Lijia didn't vomit blood. He bit his lip with his teeth, and the blood was still dripping from the corner of his mouth.
Although it is not yet bright, the window paper is already white. The oil lamp on the lampstand looked increasingly cold and dim, and the surroundings were filled with murderous aura... no, a creepy evil aura.
Am I dreaming? The eerie appearance of the Lee family gave Asong a misunderstanding.
As soon as he bit his tongue, Asong knew that he was not in the dream, so he put his hand on Lijia's shoulder while chanting Buddha's name. Li Jia frantically threw Asong's hand away again. He no longer stared at Asong, just staring blankly into the void.
"What's wrong with you, my lord?"
I don’t know if Toshiya heard Osomatsu’s question. His thin shoulders leaned heavily to the right, and he seemed to have regained his consciousness. He murmured: "Mae... Maeda... People like Toshiya, face... face death." , if you are afraid..."
"What are you afraid of?"
"No...you can't be afraid! How can I be afraid? Li...Lijia, you are a warrior when you are alive, and you are also a warrior when you die...after death."
Asong held his breath and listened to Li Jia's words.
Asong, who has been with the Li family for nearly forty years, finally understood her husband's true intention: he would not succumb to the gods and Buddhas. For this reason, he used up his last strength and would rather be a ghost than fight against the gods and Buddhas.
"Ah!" Asong stepped back. And Toshiie tightly grasped the hilt of Shindo Gokokumitsu's sword and seemed to want to pull it out!
Asong was so surprised that he couldn't speak. People are born with nothing to rely on, and she did not think that the Toshi family would regard Bushido as their belief in saving themselves. But she never imagined that even on her deathbed, the Li family would still be so persistent! He must have had this idea after witnessing Hideyoshi's death.
Seeing how pitiful and confused the unparalleled hero Toyotomi Hideyoshi was when he died, Toshiya would never be without a trace of shock in his heart. But when he faced death, he found that he was as miserable as Hideyoshi... The Toshi family shouldered the heavy responsibility of taking care of Taige, but they couldn't see the dawn of hope.
He has clearly seen that the world will be in chaos soon, but he can no longer live in this world and cannot make any changes to the situation... All the troubles finally turned him into a ghost. What Lijia believes in is not the original wish of others, but the original wish of self-reliance!
During the Tianzheng period, Li Jia became a disciple of the monk Datou, named Taoyun Jingjian. But he never believed in gods and Buddhas. In the end, he still wanted to cut off his confusion, stand up desperately, and fight to the end.
Asong finally realized Toshiya's true intention, and heard Toshiya moan again: "Wu... samurai..." His voice was as weak as a gnat.
"Samurai...what's wrong?"
"Wouldn't it be sad for a samurai... to die on the tatami?"
"Why?"
"I regret so much. This is a big mistake I made..."
"Sir! The dagger..." When Asatsu tried to help him up again, Toshiie stopped him: "Don't come over!" He used all his strength to push Asatsu away, "Mae... Maeda... Maeda Toshiie is by no means a pathetic samurai. "I never thought about dying on the tatami and ending my life as a good man. I...I...want to be a samurai even when I die!" After saying that, he coughed violently again.
"Don't come over! Don't come over..." At this time, Li Jia put the knife that had not been completely pulled out to his neck. However, the violent coughing made him unable to use his strength.
"Don't come over...did you hear me...don't come over." The coughing stopped for a moment, and he tried to try again, but at this moment, he only heard a "wow" sound, and a whine came from deep in his throat, and at the same time, black blood sputtered to the ground. It sprayed out from the mouth and nose.
Li Jia held the knife and died of anger.
"Here comes someone! Your Excellency is here! Call Toshinaga! Call Tosumasa!" Osomatsu's heartbreaking voice resounded in the dawn sky. The people who came after hearing the news were all shocked by the unexpected death of the Li family.
The mouth and nose were bruised, and he died with his beloved knife in his hand - the death of the Maeda Dainagon Toshiie was very different from what people expected. It is hard for people to imagine that Danayan, who had always lived a peaceful life, died so violently.
Some women thought he had cut their own throats and couldn't help but cry.
He vomited so much blood that some people even suspected that he died of poisoning.
In fact, it is understandable to have such doubts. If it weren't for his wife, Asong, who was always guarding him by his pillow and never left her, Brother Li Chang might still be suspicious of his death.
Under the instructions of brothers Toshi Chang and Toshi Masato, the bodies of the Toshi family were cleaned by the doctors and placed on the couch again. But Asong remained motionless. She must have wanted to close her eyes and pray silently for the Li family, but her husband's last words made her unable to pray.
"Mom, please move closer to the pillow..." When Li Chang put his father's head back on the pillow, Asong still didn't move. At Li Chang's reminder, Asong nodded, covered the Li family's body with the white shroud he had sewn by himself, then cut off a lock of hair and placed it on top.
Asong didn't cry. Although she had known for a long time that her husband would leave at any time and the Keli family left, her tears seemed to be blocked by something and could not flow out. Perhaps it was the tragic situation before her husband's death that made her unable to shed tears. Leaving with peace of mind after attaining enlightenment was definitely not the sincerity of Toshiya. Toshiya would rather die than demonstrate the way of a samurai. He wanted to commit suicide like a samurai, but he didn't even have the strength to commit suicide.
"From today on, I will change the name to Fangchun Yuan, which is beneficial to both business and government. Please listen to me." Asong put his rosary beads against his forehead and said, "Your father did not die of illness."
"Mother, what did you say?" The brothers were shocked.
"These are his last words. You should listen carefully. As a samurai, you must not die on the tatami... Your father finally realized his enlightenment. In order to realize his wish, he ended his life..."
Toshinaga closed his eyes, while Tosumasa opened his eyes wide in surprise. Their understandings were different.
Asong added: "Those who can die peacefully on the tatami are ordinary people who neither need to consider world affairs nor worry about family affairs... This is the last thing your father taught you. You must live and understand it." .Li Chang, go and report the news of father's death to the young master." After saying this, tears welled up in her eyes.
But Maeda Tosunaga did not act immediately. Instead, he looked at his mother worriedly and asked: "Mom, did my father have any advice on the situation after his death?"
Mrs. Asong thought for a while and didn't know what to say. The husband did not clearly say what the Maeda family should do after his death, but if he did not say anything at this time, I am afraid that his sons would also be confused.
Mrs. Asatsu took a deep breath, looked at her two sons firmly, and said, "He hopes that you will face any changes bravely, and that all decisions must be based on preserving the Maeda family."
Li Chang and Li Zheng looked at each other and nodded vigorously.
