Chapter 1878 A final piece of advice that invites deep thought
In the depth of winter, in the heavily snowy Edo Castle Palace, outside the courtyard where Yoshihiro was stationed, there were kneeling girls dressed in blue, the Samurai Hime.
Today's winter snow was extremely heavy, and it only took a short time to cover half of the kneeling girls, making them stiff.
But all the girls remained motionless, facing the room where the saint was in a posture of prostrating themselves on the ground and kowtowing, daring not to slack off.
Blue is not cheap fuel. The blue clothes they wear are the entrance attire given to every international student by the saint. This is the ardent expectation for them, but they have failed to live up to their hard work.
In the room, Yi Gin slowly read the files and petitions brought by the Hamo clan and sighed.
"Momo Mikami committed suicide?"
"Hey, when I arrived, I had already hurt myself, leaving only a confession.
Hanzawa Naoyoshi successfully intimidated the four nuns into fleeing. Mikami Momo knew that she had no way out, so she chose to commit seppuku to preserve her dignity.
Before she died, she ordered her surroundings to cover her face with a white cloth and face the ghost head Yua face to face without shame."
Yiyin snorted coldly.
"If I had known today, why bother in the beginning.
How is the situation among the people in blue? Who is in charge of daily affairs now?"
Kamojigo replied.
"The second chief died unexpectedly one after another, and there was some chaos within the Blue Clothes, but the new generation quickly stabilized their position and elected a new leader to temporarily take over the affairs.
Now, the leader elected by the new generation is right outside the door, kneeling in the snow with the middle and senior leaders in blue to apologize to you."
Yiyin nodded and said.
"Let her come in and talk."
"Hi."
Pu Shengshixiang opened the door, yelled a few words, and brought someone into the house.
This woman just entered the house, kowtowed to the ground and shouted respectfully.
"Student Takeyuki Ito has met the saint, the saint Wan'an."
The people in blue who studied abroad in Spurling regarded themselves as disciples of saints, and Yiyin did not deny it. Over time, the people in blue were all proud of this.
At this moment, Yiyin did not speak immediately, but carefully looked at the girl in front of him.
There are talents from generation to generation, and each generation is more beautiful than the last.
Mikami Momo and Kito Yua are already extremely beautiful, but this new generation leader elected by the blue-clad people is not inferior to Mikami Kito's beauty.
The back of the prostrate kowtow forms a straight line and gradually shrinks. When it reaches the waist, it is even thinner and can be grasped. Combined with the high buttocks, it is like a beautiful scenery.
Yiyin swallowed subconsciously and said solemnly.
"Get up."
"Hi."
Takeyuki Ito looked up at the saint, his eyes filled with the excitement and admiration of the saint.
However, Yiyin's eyes seemed to be a little wandering, staring at certain parts and unable to move his eyes away. The word "Small branches bear fruit" flashed in his mind.
Yiyin coughed, looked at Ito, and said in a deep voice.
"The incident between Mikami and Kito is indeed heartbreaking.
It was also because I, as a teacher, did not consider things well and pushed things aside, and made you fall into the quagmire of Kanto early, which led to today's tragedy.
From today on, the work handover between the Blue Cloths and the Wushu Association is cut off, and you are under the central management of the Tongxinzhong."
"Hi!"
Ito straightened his chest, sucked in his belly, and bowed deeply, which made Yiyin couldn't help but stare straight at him. The quality of the new generation is really high.
Forcing himself to be serious, Yiyin said in a deep voice.
"If there is nothing else, you can go back and take the girls outside with you.
Reflection is necessary, but there is no need to waste your body. Why kneel on a snowy day? We still have a long road ahead. How can we continue to move forward if our bodies are frozen?"
Ito pursed her lips. She was very excited by the saint's care. She suppressed her mood and said.
"The people in blue have failed to live up to the saint's expectations. We all feel very ashamed and upset. We will inherit Guitouji's ideals, be loyal to the saint and serve the saint, and will never let the saint down again!"
Yiyin sighed.
"Okay, let's all go back first. We have a long time to come."
Yiyin now has a wife and children, and his mentality is not as hungry as it was back then.
Although I look like I am always sixteen, I always feel uncomfortable when I see the young and beautiful Ito and her friends.
The power of Yiyan Jiuding allows Yiyin to release his desires at any time, but he is unwilling to be dominated by desires and cause more trouble.
Watching Ito Gongjin leave, Yoshiyin couldn't help but sigh again.
In this major corruption case of the Wu Family Giri Promotion Association, Lanyi made the biggest fool of himself.
Hanzawa Naoyi used the Blue Clothes as a breakthrough point to break through the protective umbrella of the Wushu Association. This was originally a good thing, showing the Blue Clothes' loyalty to the saint and becoming an independent supervisory force in Kanto.
However, the accidental death of Yua Kito and the suicide of Mikami Momo due to fear of crime suddenly turned the blue-clad crowd into a joke.
Although at the official level, Yiyin has acquiesced in classifying the deaths of the four nuns as the unfortunate deaths of encounters with bandits while visiting friends in the mountains.
But the senior officials of Guan Bazhou knew very well that this was the fig leaf that the sage had torn open for Guandong and re-covered it to make everyone look better.
Now that everyone knows it, the scandal involving the men in blue seems very shameful.
These young girls are arrogant and have always regarded themselves as the successors of the Wu family. Suddenly they found that the clown turned out to be me. Of course, it was difficult to accept it.
A group of girls, wearing blue dresses gifted by Yoshigan, went to Edo Castle to kneel down, confess their sins, and beg for punishment, which made Yoshigan's head grow bigger.
Yiyin's idea is to deal with it as coldly as possible, but the tree wants to be calm but the wind is not stopping. The hot-blooded girls in blue are simply synonymous with fierceness.
As soon as they knelt down, the entire inner city could see blue clothes covering the outside of the saint's residence. They didn't know how much criticism and laughter they would cause.
Yiyin really regrets that he should not have promoted the blue-clad people to their current status in the first place. He over-stimulated them and harmed these idealistic Wu girls.
The new generation has to take its time to replace the old generation. We must first remove the people in blue from the Wushu Association, and don't let the muddy water pollute the new generation's good seedlings into the sea.
Mikami Momo was such a handsome girl back then, her eyes were full of ideal light, which even Yiyin felt moved.
But what now? She has turned into a dead corpse and asked to cover her face with a white cloth. Even after she died, she felt that she was too embarrassed to go underground to see Yua Kito. The end would be extremely miserable.
In the final analysis, Yiyin was too impatient and pushed the immature young people into too high a position, causing them to either have conflicts with the old man or be dragged down by the old man.
Yiyin learned this lesson and planned to make the Blue Clothes a subordinate of the Tongxin Clan.
The program of the Blue Clothes originally borrowed from the recruit training system of the Tongxin Clan, including uniform clothing, unified slogans, unified thinking, and only recognizing the saint as their leader. Almost all of them are replicas.
Yiyin thought about training the Blue Clothes as the vanguard of young girls of the Tongxin Church and the reserve youth team.
From now on, the Blue Uniforms are not limited to international students. All girls who are close to Shiba's new ideas can apply to join the Blue Uniforms Group.
The selection sources for Sibo can also be not limited to each university district, and some quotas can be given to groups close to Sibo such as the Blue Uniforms, the Sibo Martyrs, etc., to further expand the influence of the Sibo family.
After persuading the men in blue to leave, Yiyin smiled bitterly at the Pu Sheng clan.
"I'm going to trouble you in the future. These little girls are ignorant and have to be taught by you."
Pu Sheng clan bowed.
"I'm afraid, it's just my duty."
The men in blue have become the new blood of Tongxinzhong's youth training, which is beneficial and harmless to Kamao clan, but the pressure is indeed not small.
The Kamo clan, who was originally the chief of the Tongxin Clan, now controls the Tongxin Secretariat, Sibo Selection, and now coupled with the Blue Clothes Clan, it can be said that the power is overwhelming.
Sitting in her position at such a young age, instead of feeling high-spirited, she felt fearful and fearful, walking on thin ice.
When she was ten years old, she went to Kanto with Yoshihiro. During the past seven or eight years, she had seen a lot of sinister people and shady politics. She was so smart that she knew that where she was sitting was a crater.
To put it nicely, she is the saint’s first confidant and closest person.
To put it harshly, she was the target of public criticism and was watched and calculated day and night.
If it weren't for her beloved saint, she wouldn't be willing to do so. Power doesn't necessarily bring all benefits, but also responsibilities and obligations, as well as endless scapegoats.
While Yoshigan and Kamaojigo were talking, Ii Naomasa hurried in and saluted the saint.
Yiyin waved his hand and asked.
"Has Naoyoshi Hanzawa confessed?"
Naomasa Ii looked embarrassed and spoke hesitantly.
"She said that... she was able to scare away the four nuns only because of the evidence provided by Yuya Kito."
Yiyin sneered.
"Nonsense!
Yua Kito is already at odds with the Samurai Giri Promotion Association, and Momo Mikami is keeping an eye on him. Where is the conclusive evidence that can scare the four nuns into panic and flee to the Tokaido in a hurry?
This Hanzawa Naoyi is dishonest, what about the evidence? Starting from the evidence, we can always get some clues, right?"
Naomasa Ii smiled bitterly.
"She said that by accident, four nuns took the opportunity to burn it down."
Yiyin was so angry that he laughed instead.
"Okay, I'll put all the blame on the dead. Yua Kito is dead, and all four nuns are dead. You can arrange it as she pleases, right?"
Zhizheng, look at the good candidate you picked and the good job he did!"
Ii Naomasa fell to the ground and kowtowed.
"My servant is guilty and is willing to be punished!
It is because I am not strict with my subordinates and I beg the sage to deprive Hanzawa Naoyi of Shiba's establishment, drive him out of Shiba's family, and never use him again."
Yoshiyin was so bored that he almost lost his temper. At this time, Naomasa Ii, a little fool, was still protecting Naoyoshi Hanzawa.
For such a big crime, just depriving Shiba of his establishment and expelling him from the Shiba family? This is too cheap for that bastard!
I don’t know what the charm of Hanzawa Naoyi is, but everyone who has come into contact with her has a very good impression of her.
People around Yoshigan, including Yui Yuigahama, Shima Katsuo, Kamao Ujigo, and Naomasa Ii, all admired her very much. Even Yoshigan was deceived and deceived by her into sending imperial orders to Kanto, which caused an uproar.
Yiyin ordered with a cold face.
"Naozheng, since she is your subordinate, you should go and see her off.
For your sake, I want to give her some dignity. I allow her to commit seppuku and give you an hour to go and see her again."
Ii Naomasa's expression darkened. Because of Ii Naotora's warning, she did not disobey the saint again, but bowed and said.
"My Majesty, I sincerely request you to be the intermediary for Naoyoshi Hanzawa."
Yoshihiro glanced at Ii Naomasa in surprise. He didn't expect this little girl to give up like this. She has finally grown up and realized the carelessness.
Hanzawa Naoyoshi cannot stay, otherwise the Bank of Japan will have to strictly investigate the major corruption case of the Samurai Giri Promotion Association, and even single out privately corrupt economic transactions in Kanto Kinki.
This matter has deepened, and the middle and lower levels have seen the filthiness of the upper levels, and cannot continue to maintain stability.
For now, the quickest way to calm down the situation is to let Hanzawa Naoyoshi die.
The four great nuns are dead, Yuya Kito is dead, and Momo Mikami is dead. As long as Naoyoshi Hanzawa dies, Guan Bazhou will be able to stabilize.
What the middle and lower class want is that there is no shortage of money and food in their accounts. They don't care about corruption, as long as they don't take their own money and food.
Anti-Justice Bank has promised to fill the gap by itself, so the middle and lower classes feel at ease and will naturally not make trouble again.
As for the bastards at the top, they do need to be beaten, but they can only be dealt with for other reasons, to maintain a balance between all parties, and not to make the middle and lower levels laugh.
In short, as long as Banzawa Naoyi remains alive and the people of Guanbazhou are restless, Yiyin's plan to maintain stability will not be realized.
Yoshigan looked at Ii Naomasa and said calmly.
"Then it's up to you to make mistakes for her.
Go ahead, she doesn't have much time, and if you go to accompany her on her last journey, you will have exhausted the friendship between you."
Naomasa Ii took out a letter from his arms, raised his hands above his head, and said sincerely.
"This is Hanzawa Naoyoshi's letter of remonstrance. I beg the sage to read it."
"let it go."
Naomasa Ii gritted his teeth, put the letter on the table, bowed and turned around to leave.
Yiyin looked at the letter on the case, squinting and thinking complicatedly.
Hanzawa Naoyoshi was indeed a smart person. It seemed that she had long known that she was bound to die, so she left her letter, which was like a final remonstrance.
It's a pity that he is obviously a smart man, but he chose a dead end.
Yoshigan picked up Hanzawa Naoyoshi's letter and read it carefully. Those who give advice deserve respect, and Yoshigan will read this letter carefully.
The Pusheng family member under him, seeing the expressions of the concentric people outside, bowed and quietly withdrew.
The letter was just a few thin pieces of paper, but Yiyin read it three times without realizing it, making his forehead sweat and his eyes serious.
Financial crisis... this strange yet familiar term appeared in his mind.
Although Hanzawa Naoyoshi did not understand what a financial crisis was, her description of the economic problems between Sakai Port and Kanto hinted at concerns everywhere, which fit the definition of crisis in Yoshinori's mind.
Yiyin wanted to sneer. How could the financial crisis come from the farming economy in the medieval times? It was simply alarmism.
But deep down in his heart, he felt a deep sense of fear aroused by Hanzawa Naoyi.
As a modern person, even if you don't understand finance, you still know that 1929, 1973, and 2008 were a series of social turmoil and disasters for people's livelihood.
Will there be a financial crisis in the Middle Ages? When and where did the first financial crisis occur?
Yiyin tried hard to remember, but he only remembered that it was in the Netherlands, it seemed to be the seventeenth century... It should be the sixteenth century now, right?
As he thought about it, Yiyin started to sweat even more.
At this moment, Kamao clan re-entered the house from outside and brought back two letters.
"Sage, there are two urgent documents from Kinki, one from Takada Hōno and one from Yuigahama Yui."
