1743 A worthy man!

In the Honnoji incident in history, Oda Nobunaga was killed by Akichi Mitsuhide. One of the important reasons was that the lord violated the inherent power of his subjects.

Oda Nobunaga was too rebellious and his rule of retainers was closer to the skills of the Central Plains emperor. He seized power from life and death. He could deprive the elderly ministers of their territory at will, or humiliate them for trivial matters, and even had the intention of usurping the court.

In short, this is an ambitious man who does not follow the routine and always wants to destroy the tradition. In the end, of course, he will be counterattacked by the conservatives. Even if he is not in Honnoji, he will launch a mutiny somewhere else.

Xiao Letian is very familiar with this history, but he did not expect that Hirobuki Ito would use such a set of theories to refute him today.

"Prime Minister! If Mrs. Hu ordered her subordinates to commit suicide, I would be willing to commit suicide on the moonlit mountain on the moonlit night... But I cannot be executed without understanding, because there is no reason why I must die!"

"I would like to ask the Prime Minister, have you ordered the power to deprive Mrs. Tiger and the Young Master of the People? Have you ever announced to Wanmin ban the Young Master and the Women from participating in politics? If not, then what power do you have to prevent the wife and the Young Master from accepting retainers?"

"I also want to ask the Prime Minister, you are knowledgeable and you should know how sad it is for the monarch without his direct ministers. Just like Emperor Tongzhi of the Qing Dynasty, it was because he had no direct power in Beijing that he was forced to leave the capital and establish his own subordinates and troops on the periphery..."

"Does the Prime Minister hope that the Young Master will become a pitiful person like Emperor Tongzhi in the future? Don't say that you will be loyal to the Young Master if you are loyal to you. If you don't believe such lies, you don't have to use it to coax people!"

Hirobu Ito wiped his nose bleeding, "I don't understand. You have neither announced the deprivation of the political power of the wife and the young master, nor have you equipped the wife and the young master with a direct official system... So why don't you allow the wife and the young master to recruit soldiers on their own?"

"After all, it's just your desire to control it! You just want to control everything..."

"Shut up..." Xiao Letian was really angry this time. He swung his arm and slapped it with a leaky slap, and hit Hirobuki Ito to the ground with a snap.

"Sure enough, good at sophistry! Your distortion of concepts has hit me? When will your Japanese retainer system dare to be used on me? I am the Chinese prime minister, not your Fusang prime minister..."

Xiao Letian is right. My son and I have to follow the Chinese code. It is not a bullshit Japanese retainer system at all, so it is not wrong for me to kill you.

Hirobuki Ito knew that his life and death were on the front line, and he also took the initiative to do so. "That's right! The Prime Minister followed the Chinese Code, but don't forget that Mrs. Tiger's title was given by the Japanese royal family!"

"The 20,000 Fusang samurai were gathered together under the banner of Mrs. Tiger. We are Mrs. Tiger's direct ministers. Is there anything wrong with this?"

"You..." Xiao Letian was speechless. He was defeated by Hirobu Ito's powerful logic. It seemed that it was impossible to defeat this young man with rationality. This was a little fox, who could do things without any leakage.

Hirobu Ito would not miss this critical opportunity to survive. He looked at Xiao Letian with the most sincere eyes. "Prime Minister, I know that I can't hide all my thoughts from you! Indeed... I defected to my wife and the young master, and I also had the idea of ​​getting promoted and making money, but what's wrong with this? That person doesn't want to get promoted and make money?"

"Terror to your command? Haha, I'm frank, you are full of talents now, and I can't stand it without twenty years of hard work. Can't I find a shortcut? This is also my power..."

"What's more, Mrs. Hu is also difficult! When there was no young master, she was just your second wife and did not threaten everyone. But now she gave birth to the young master. Her identity is sensitive to the balance of the situation in Asia..."

"To be honest, how do you think of this matter between the Grand Madam Fuhui? How do the Qing Dynasty behind the Grand Madam view the young master? The important officials under your command are loyal to you, but can you guarantee that they must be loyal to the young master?"

"This is an unavoidable problem. If you want to solve it, you can only let the wife and the young master have their own direct power. This is originally the only way to protect yourself in politics, but why do you want to abandon your own martial arts?"

"Prime Minister! Please don't doubt my loyalty. My admiration for Chinese culture is even more true! I admit that I hope more Japanese samurai will integrate into Chinese, but what's wrong with this? Isn't this a choice that all nations should have incorporating into advanced and higher culture?"

"I hope to do a great cause in the Chinese people. I hope the Chinese people can reach their peak, because you created this Chinese people that do not rely on bloodlines and races, but only rely on language, writing and culture. You gave us hope. We are just pursuing this hope and looking for shortcuts we think we are shortcuts!"

"What's wrong with this? What's wrong with this?" Hirobuki Ito looked at Xiao Letian excitedly, "Prime Minister! The Chinese people you created have already lived. He has his own thoughts, his own desires, and his own code of conduct..."

"Many things are no longer something you can push away just by wanting to do. Don't you often say that as long as the number of people exceeds three, you will definitely be divided into left and right. The same is true for the Chinese people as more and more people are integrated into it, and various factions will always appear. This is the choice of human nature. How can you disobey it?"

"Under your banner, there are countless small military flags, not everyone is so lucky to gather under your banner... There are many people who are destined to choose other banners around you because they cannot get close to you. This is the choice of history and the choice of the people!"

"Please respect our choice!"

Hirobu Ito kneeled down and said everything he wanted to say was completely clear. He made a very correct choice. Hirobu Ito is worthy of being a good person. He knew that there would be no good results when he was foolish with the prime minister.

Since you don’t have to be scheming, then be honest and show your desires in full. I will tell you that Xiao Letian is too slow to get promoted with you. There are too many old ministers around you, so I can’t squeeze in.

So I defected to your son because you just born and you forgot to equip him with a team of direct ministers, so I was able to enter the core decision-making level.

I took the shortcut, what's wrong?

Not only did I leave, I also took countless Fuso warriors to take shortcuts. What's wrong?

I don’t hide my desire for power. I want to have a chance to sacrifice my head and shed my blood. What’s wrong?

You, Xiao Letian, don’t give us the chance to work hard, I ask Mrs. Hu and the Young Master to give it to you, what’s wrong?

This is the case with open conspiracy. It is placed in front of you and left you with nothing to say. What's wrong with me? But I am a villain, I open my heart and let you see it, let you know that I just want this. If you give me, I will repay you all your loyalty and even your life.

Fusang samurai is a tragic class. They never envy the blessings of the mainland people. They just envy the mainland people for having such an opportunity to win blessings.

We are willing to die on the battlefield, die for Mrs. Tiger and the Young Master, and exchange our blood for some credit. What's wrong with this?
