Volume 6 The Seven Hundred and Forty-Second Chapter Bloodline
"So, Mr. Tsumabuki, is it possible for me to meet with His Highness Akechi?"
After seeing the baby, Yu Qiuping wanted to leave, but he still couldn't worry about Akechi Mitsuhide's condition, so he asked in a low voice.
"Um...His Royal Highness Zhibu is sincere to His Highness, and I am touched by it. But Your Highness has said it first, and he will not accept the briefing without seeing foreigners... Anyway, I will inform His Highness for you." Tsumabuki Hiroutada seemed to be really moved by Yu Qiuping.
, even though it was very difficult, he still bravely walked towards the castle tower. Not long after, Tsumabuki Hirotada finally returned and looked at Yu Qiuping with some worry, "Your Highness, Your Highness Akechi agreed. But the old lady is not here, if Your Highness wants
If I want to talk to His Highness Mingzhi, I will probably have to go outside and talk through the door in person. His Highness is a noble person, and if he is infected with the disease... what should we do?"
"It shouldn't matter, haven't you all been outside the door several times, how can there be such a contagious disease." Yu Qiuping smiled and shook his head, patting the place where he was vaccinated when he was a child, "Besides, I was the same when I was a child.
I am frail and sickly, and I have basically suffered from all the diseases I can get, so I am not afraid of anything."
"If His Highness insists on doing this, I can't stop you." After hesitating for a while, Tsumabuki Hirotada pursed his lips and nodded, then made a gesture to Yu Qiuping, "Your Highness, please."
After Yu Qiuping followed Tsumabuki Hirotada to the gate of the castle tower, Tsumabuki Hirotada stayed at the door and did not go further inside.
"His Highness said that only His Highness the Chief of Staff is allowed to go upstairs." Tsumabuki Hirozada bowed to Yu Qiuping very apologetically and whispered, "I'm sorry."
"It's okay, I've caused you trouble. It's me who should apologize." Yu Qiuping glanced at Tsumabuki Guangzhong and the guards behind him who were also in a difficult situation, and waved to them with a smile.
After Yu Qiuping entered the castle tower, the door was gently closed behind him. He circled up the castle tower all the way, and the mountain scenery of Tamba made him forget the purpose of his trip for a moment. The surrounding mountains were layered on top of each other.
The stacks, ups and downs, and the lingering clouds and mist over the mountains in the distance made him a little lost in thought.
"This place is really not suitable for people to live in. On the contrary, it is like a fairyland." Yu Qiuping thought silently in his heart, and he unknowingly walked outside Akechi Mitsuhide's ward. After hearing the footsteps and stopping, in the ward
The voice that comes to mind is as clear and sweet as the fairy in the Cloud Palace.
"Is it red leaves?"
"Yes, it's just me, don't worry." Yu Qiuping replied with a smile. It was because he was the only one who dared to speak in a female voice, Akechi Mitsuhide, "Listening to your voice, I'm in good health. What kind of disease did you have for half a year?
You can’t even see anyone.”
"It's unspeakable." Akechi Mitsuhide did not answer Yu Qiuping's question.
"Are there any symptoms?" Yu Qiuping tilted his head and thought for a while, as if he wanted to rely on his own medical knowledge to diagnose Akechi Mitsuhide from a distance, "Fever? Stomach pain? Sneezing?"
Akechi Mitsuhide in the room was silent for a long time, then whispered:
"Hongye, don't ask."
Yu Qiuping was sensible when he saw this, and changed the topic to something lighter: "By the way, just now Mr. Tsumabuki took me to see the adopted son you claimed. The child looks very lively, and he looks a bit like you.
"
"Ah?" Akechi Mitsuhide exclaimed when he heard this. Yu Qiuping faintly heard the sound of someone sitting up from the bed and turning over the quilt, "Are you going to see the child?"
"Yes." Yu Qiuping smiled without knowing why.
He said, "What's wrong? Are you afraid that I will get into bad luck?"
"No, no...when...did you go to see it?" the woman in the room asked incoherently.
"Just now, two quarters of an hour ago?" Yu Qiuping estimated the time, "What happened?"
"Ah...no...it's nothing." Mitsuhide Akechi swallowed and muttered hesitantly. After that, the room fell into a long silence. Yu Qiuping didn't know what went wrong or what to say.
.
After a long time, Akechi Mitsuhide suddenly spoke weakly, breaking the calm:
"How is the child..."
"It's very good. He's white and fat. He will definitely be a handsome boy in the future." Yu Qiuping thought that Akechi Mitsuhide was worried that his adopted son did not have the bloodline of the Mingzhi family, so he explained, "Sometimes bloodline is not that important. Your father's concept is a bit
Old-fashioned. As long as there is love, he is your biological flesh and blood."
"Then will you love him?" Akechi Mitsuhide suddenly asked urgently.
"Ah?" Yu Qiuping was confused by Mitsuhide Akechi's question. He thought he heard wrongly, "What did you say?"
"It's nothing." Akechi Mitsuhide quickly ended the inexplicable conversation just now, and then fell into silence again. After a while, an inaudible cry came from the room.
"Mitsuhide?" Yu Qiuping was a little anxious after hearing the voice. He pressed his hand on the paper door and tried to open the door. Akechi Mitsuhide in the room hurriedly shouted: "Don't come in!"
"What's wrong?" Yu Qiuping stood blankly at the door, stopped moving, and asked at a loss, "What's wrong with you?"
"I..." Akechi Mitsuhide's eyes were filled with tears, and she almost told Yu Qiuping the answer, but in the end, the words turned into a sob, and she swallowed it down with her tears.
"From now on, dog, I'll have to help Momiji give me some advice." Mitsuhide Akechi tried his best to stop crying and pretended to be strong in a low voice.
"Don't worry, it's natural." Although Yu Qiuping still didn't understand why Mitsuhide Akechi had such violent mood swings, "Don't say anything depressing. Your illness will be cured soon, and your children will be raised by themselves."
!”
"Yes." Akechi Mitsuhide slowly closed his eyes, tears streaming down his cheeks, "It's getting late, Hongye, please come back soon."
"Then please pay attention to rest." Yu Qiuping did not want to delay Akechi Mitsuhide's recovery, so he left quickly after saying goodbye. Akechi Mitsuhide listened to the footsteps gradually receding and getting lighter, but his own crying could no longer be stopped.
On the way back to Maple Leaf Mountain Castle with his attendants, Yu Qiuping had been wondering about Mitsuhide Akechi's weird behavior today. But just when he vaguely felt that he had caught a clue to the matter, the outline of Maple Leaf Mountain City had appeared in his field of vision. Yu Qiuping
He immediately felt a wave of irritation - the mountains of official documents in the Maple Leaf Mountain Castle castle made him want to turn around and run away, but if he didn't go back to deal with it quickly, Imagawa Kaede would definitely not let him go.
Moreover, a major event is about to happen recently, and Yu Qiuping must be personally in charge. This is something that the well-trained bureaucracy of the Yu Qiu family has never dealt with - the re-election of Congress.
The Sakai Town Diet was originally established in 1569, and the first 100 seats were auctioned. Originally, the Diet was expected to hold its first re-election five years later, in 1574. However, because the time was not yet ripe, and Yuqiu
The family's situation at that time was not safe enough for Congress to let go, so Congress just issued a decree in 1574.
A plan for expansion and re-election was drawn up in 2006, which was expected to be implemented two years later in 1576. In 1576, the lower house of the Diet held an expansion and re-election. It is better to say that it was a re-election than an unofficial decision among the merchants of Sakai Town and Ishiyama Town.
Except for the 3 people who were found to have infiltrated the Sanhao family, the remaining 97 of the original 100 people were successfully re-elected. The 50 expanded places were also selected from wealthy businessmen.
This immediately made the small businessmen of Sakai Town and Ishiyama Town, as well as Kishiwada Port and the wealthy businessmen in the interior feel dissatisfied - why do all the seats in the National Assembly belong to you people from Sakai Town and Ishiyama Town? So they sued the court.
, accusing the Diet businessmen of operating in secret. Hatakeyama Takamasa immediately made a ruling and asked the Diet businessmen to explain. However, at that time, the Yuqiu family was fighting fiercely with the Miyoshi family, so the matter was settled. The two parties reached an agreement - two years later, that is,
In 1578, let the Congress conduct a real election instead of a default election. The merchants themselves could not figure out how to re-elect - and they are not to blame, after all, this is the product of Yu Qiuping across time and space. So, how to conduct a fair re-election
The task fell on Yu Qiuping's head.
This reelection only involves businessmen in the lower house, not the wealthy samurai in the upper house - after all, they all exchanged their land for seats in the upper house, and the seats are permanently hereditary. Those wealthy samurai from Ono, Kawachi Izumi, and Kii
Although they are above the House of Lords and exercise veto power for Yu Qiuping, the Upper House is usually not as powerful as the businessmen in the Lower House. They can only approve and veto the bills of the Lower House but cannot propose bills themselves. Therefore, these warriors have long since
Holding a breath. At this moment, seeing that those businessmen who were usually so proud had to frown in order to be re-elected, the superiority of the upper house warriors suddenly came over, and they tried their best to ridicule the businessmen. Everyone in the lower house businessmen
They have to bow their heads under the eaves. If they fail to be elected as members, their status will be far inferior to these upper house warriors, so they deserve to lie down and be ridiculed. Everyone's focus is on
As for Yu Qiuping - what kind of re-election rules will he formulate?
At this moment, Yu Qiuping was sitting at the desk, holding a brush and writing furiously on the paper. A dozen waste paper balls had been thrown into the wastebasket not far away - Yu Qiuping had a hunch that now he was writing
This plan will also become one of the waste papers. Sitting aside, Imagawa Kaede was looking at the part about the Congress in the "Future Outline" written by Yu Qiuping at that time. However, Yu Qiuping was only a freshman in high school before traveling. For
The understanding of these political frameworks is limited to a few strokes in history books and the leisure books he reads on weekdays, so what he writes down is very simple and lacks details, which makes Yu Qiuping very distressed now.
"Would you like to send someone to the UK and the Netherlands to have a look..." Kaede Imagawa noticed Yu Qiuping's headache and said comfortingly, "Your book said that the Netherlands and the UK were the first countries in Europe to implement a relatively complete parliamentary system. Now they
Should it be called... England and the Netherlands?"
"It's okay, but it's too long to go back and forth." Yu Qiuping stopped writing and thought about it, then shook his head and continued writing, "The day lilies are getting cold."
"Then ask a British or Dutch businessman? There should be someone in Sakai Town, right?" Imagawa Kaede proposed another idea.
"What a coincidence, you said. In the past six months, a total of three British and Dutch businessmen have arrived, and the others are all Portuguese and Spanish. It turns out that those three are still unclear, and they know about the same as me. What a ghost, big businessman
