I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Chapter 369: Will Ogata Owl show it to the public for

"I was a swordsman in ancient Japan(

Everyone at the scene focused their eyes on him, which made Takikawa more contented.

After clearing his throat, he shouted in a louder voice:

"Now more and more warriors are either poor or indulging in pleasure, self-willing and depraved, and reluctant to make progress."

"Why is this?"

"It's all because the samurai have become more and more contemptuous of Bushido and Samurai Tsunaki."

"As samurai, we should abide by the morality of samurai! Study Zhu Zizheng!"

"In the future, if I become an assistant to the old man, I will definitely propose to the old man Tsunaki to revitalize the samurai family and encourage the samurai to abide by the Bushido!"

"Only in this way can we reverse the current situation where the samurai are becoming more impoverished and indulging in enjoyment!"

After Takikawa finished his passionate speech in a triumphant tone, some people present showed admiration—for example, some wandering girls.

Some people were expressionless-such as Tai Fu, Guasheng, and Shiro Biebe.

Someone's brows slowly frowned.

"It seems that Takikawa-kun not only has great ambitions, but also has his own unique insights into the reform of the government."

Shiro Biebe spoke in a tone that was neither salty nor indifferent, because the tone did not contain any emotions, so it was difficult to guess what he was thinking now.

"But it's not enough to just shout slogans."

Shiro Biebe continued.

"If in the future you really become an assistant to the old master, and then the old master asks you how to act to revitalize the martial arts Tsunaki, what do you plan to do?"

"It's easy!" The confident expression on Takikawa's face is undiminished, "First of all-first transfer a batch of funds to reward the true samurai who have adhered to the morals of the samurai from all over the country!"

"For example--the samurai who died last year to protect the former lord of the Hirose clan, Matsuhira Genouchi!"

Hearing these words from Takikawa, both Guasheng and Ogata's expressions changed.

As for Takikawa-when he said this, his face was full of admiration.

"The samurai who died to protect the former lord of the Hirose clan, Matsuhira Genouchi, fought to the last minute to protect their lord. They are the real samurai!"

"Secondly, increase the reward for the master-killing mob-Ogata Yishi!"

Takikawa gritted his teeth and his face became gritted.

"This man is the shame of a samurai!"

"Killing the lord is such a heinous thing, he still has the face to do it!"

"Although there are rumors that Ogata Ishi has already died in the Nijo Castle in Kyoto, this is a rumor after all! I think he is very likely to be alive!"

"Therefore, we must increase the reward for Ogata Ishie! At the same time, we will send a large number of people to track Ogata Ishie's whereabouts!"

"When you find Ogata's Yishi, I will show it to the public!"

The owl first showed the public-this was a relatively happy way of death in ancient China.

But in Japan, the first appearance of the owl is a very insulting way to die for the samurai.

A samurai committed a capital crime. Generally speaking, he will be ordered to amputate his belly. Only when he commits other more special crimes will other penalties be adopted, such as arson.

In ancient Japan, people at that time could be described as "talking about the fire".

A small fire may destroy a large city. Whether it is Edo or Kyoto, these large cities have been destroyed by fires countless times in history.

Therefore, those who commit arson, whether they are samurai or civilians, are punished by burning them alive and experiencing the power of the flames.

Only those warriors who have committed unforgivable and serious sins will not even give them the opportunity to have a caesarean section and directly order them to be beheaded.

Guasheng, who has a portrait of Ogata posted on the walls of the house, was extremely dissatisfied when Takikawa’s voice just fell:

"Hey!"

Gusheng didn't even call Takikawa's name, but directly called him "Hey".

"Do you guy know what kind of person the former lord of Hirose Clan is like?" Gusheng said with a dark face, "We won't list all the evil things that guy did."

"I'll just say one thing-the guy in Gen Matsudaira killed the disciple of Sakura Sword Museum for no reason."

"These disciples of Sakura Sword Museum are all the samurai of the Hirose clan, the courtiers of the source of Matsudaira."

"Matsuhira Genai murdered his courtiers for no reason, Ogata Ichisai took the place of Tianxingdao, and Songheira Genai Tenchu ​​was killed. What's wrong?"

Guasheng thought that Takikawa must have said that because he didn't know what a beast Matsuhira Genai was.

However, Takikawa's answer surprised Gua Sheng.

"I know." Takikawa said in a nonchalant tone. "I know that Genai Matsudaira has a perverse personality and a poor reputation."

"I also know that Master Matsudaira once killed his courtiers."

"But so what?"

"Just like what I said earlier, even if you don't have a king, you can't rule it out!"

"Even if Matsuhira Genouchi commits more crimes, he is a king! He is the lord of the Hirose clan!"

"And no matter how legitimate Ogata's reasons are to kill the master, he can't change the fact that he is the minister of Matsudaira Genai!"

"Even if the king is not the king, we ministers must swear allegiance to the death! This is the samurai morality that we samurai should abide by!"

"Only in this way can this country embark on the right path!"

"If the samurai in the future will follow Ogata's trend and arbitrarily attack and kill the lord with their swords, what will this country look like in the future?"

"Therefore, we must seize Ogata at any cost and take his head, so that the samurai all over the world can take a warning!"

The wandering girls present did not know much about these political-related matters.

So most of the wandering girls present looked at Takikawa with a blank face, and then at the melons.

After listening to Takikawa's words just now, Gua Sheng's face became darker.

Just when Gua Sheng just wanted to open her lips and say something more--

"Takikawa-kun's insights are really inspiring."

The speaker is Ogata standing behind Guasheng, with his back leaning on the wall and his arms around his chest.

When uttering the word "Whipaijiri", Ogata emphasized his tone specially, making it seem that the overall tone of his sentence just now was very strange.

As soon as Ogata's words fell, Takikawa frowned slightly and looked at Ogata.

And Ogata continued at this time:

"Takikawa-kun, you said just now-only by revitalizing the samurai family and encouraging the samurai to abide by the bushido can the samurai become more impoverished and indulge in enjoyment. Right?"

"Yes." Although I don't know what the stranger who I just met today wants to do, Takikawa nodded softly after hearing Ogata's question, "At present, the majority of samurai are lacking..."

Takikawa just wanted to have another long talk, but was interrupted by Ogata a step earlier:

"Takikawa-kun, have you ever seen how the samurai at the bottom live?"

"You must have never seen it?"

"Many warriors have low salaries for generations due to their low status."

"Some of them, in order to alleviate the poverty, wholeheartedly serve the government, or have to find another job. While serving the government, they plant land, do handicrafts, and subsidize their families."

"Is they poor because they didn't abide by samurai morality?"

After quietly listening to Takikawa's impassioned statement just now, Ogata only felt - so angry and funny.

In the second half of Takikawa's words--that is, the content of offering him a huge reward and showing him to the public after catching him, Ogata didn't feel much, and didn't feel so angry.

After all, there are many people all over the world who want to take his head, and Takikawa is not too bad.

However, after listening to the remarks made in the first half of Takikawa, that is, only by strongly encouraging the samurai to abide by the samurai morality can the samurai be reversed from the current situation where the samurai are becoming more impoverished and more indulging in enjoyment, Ogata's brows were raised. Involuntarily crumpled up.

Before leaving the feudal clan, Ogata was a samurai inferior to the Hirose clan.

At that time, many of the brothers who practiced swords with him in the Sakura Sword Museum were all like Ogata who had no hope of rising due to their status and salary, and they lived a life that was not much better than ordinary farmers. .

Because he was originally from a family of lower-level samurai, and the friends around him also had many lower-level samurai, after listening to Takikawa’s point that “emphasis on the samurai can change the spirit of samurai”, Ogata only felt that ridiculous.

Many of the brothers who used to practice swords with Ogata at the Sakura Wara Sword Museum, but they all have very noble personalities.

They usually serve the public conscientiously and have never done anything against samurai morality.

But no matter how noble their character and how conscientiously they serve public affairs, they have failed to make their lives better.

Not only did they fail to make their lives better, but in the end they ended up being slaughtered for no reason by the monarch whom he had always served.

Ogata thinks there are many ways to make the life of a low-level samurai like Ogata more generous.

But it certainly does not include the vigorous promotion of the so-called Bushido.

As for Takikawa's subsequent words, "I would rather be a monarch than a minister than a minister"... This kind of argument is tantamount to saying in a disguised form: Those brothers of Ogata are dead in vain if they die, no In order to help them get revenge, they should kill Songping Yuannai.

After hearing Takikawa's words, Ogata could hardly remain silent anymore.

Takikawa probably did not expect that someone would dare to question him. After a while, he lifted his head slightly.

"Heiichiro Takikawa, the patriarch of Takigawa, Shimonosekimoto, and a fellow Chinese scholar-Heiichiro Takigawa, I don't know where to learn from?"

"I haven't worshipped a famous teacher." Ogata said in a calm tone, "I only went to Terakoya for a few years when I was young."

After hearing Ogata's remarks, Takigawa's face showed a slight complacency and complacency.

"In the first step, the propositions made just now are the common propositions of many of my classmates from Yangyue School."

"Xiaxia and my classmates are all apprentices of Master Xiangsheng. Under the guidance of Master Xiangsheng, I am full of resources."

"We all believe that vigorously encouraging the samurai to obey the samurai morals and study the "Zhu Zizheng" is the only way to change the current morale of the samurai."

"Ordinary people should not comment on the affairs of the government."

"Therefore, please stop making false statements in the future."

Ogata didn't know what Yangzueju was.

And Guasheng, who was standing not far from Ogata's side, lowered her voice at the right time, and said softly with a volume that only she and Ogata could hear clearly:

"Yangyue School is a private school opened by Xiangsheng Chunshui."

After listening to Guasheng's explanation, Ogata couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Takigawa’s words just now seemed polite, and they all turned around and said the same thing in the dark and secretly-I learned from everyone, you who have only been to Terakoya, don’t talk nonsense about my propositions. .

People who were a little more keen could have heard that Takikawa's words just now were taunting and attacking Ogata in disguise.

Shiro Biebei pursed his lips, as if thinking about what to say to ease the current tense atmosphere.

As for Guasheng-her face was full of unpleasant colors.

"Huh, it's just that you are learning from each other, you..."

Before Guasheng's refutation was finished, a big hand suddenly fell on Guasheng's shoulder.

It is Ogata's hand.

After using his actions to imply that Guasheng didn't need to say much, Ogata slowly straightened up his body that had been leaning on the wall since just now.

"Master Takikawa, do you think that I, a common man who has only been to a temple house, don't have enough knowledge to question your claims?"

Takikawa did not answer Ogata's question aloud.

He only raised the corners of his mouth a little higher, making the confidence and complacency on his face more intense, and answered Ogata's question just now with his actions.

"Okay, let's end this topic." Shiro Hebei, who didn't want to let the atmosphere freeze any more, said at this time, "Sakumasa, we still..."

Shiro Hebei, who wanted to be a peacemaker, hadn’t finished speaking yet, Okina cleared his throat, and then—

"Uncle Meng Wu asked:'Zi Lu is benevolent?' Zi said:'I don't know it.' Then he asked:'Youye, the kingdom of a thousand times, can govern its wealth, but don't know its benevolence." How about seeking? 'Zi said:'Qiya, a town of a thousand chambers, a house of a hundred vehicles, can be slaughtered, I don't know the benevolence.' How about the red?' Zi said:'The red also, the belt stands in the dynasty, can I don’t know what it is to say to the guests.’”

Everyone present cast their stunned and shocked eyes on Ogata's body.

Gua Sheng opened his mouth wide because of his surprise.

Surprise flashed in Shiro's eyes.

Tai Fu Feng Chime's reaction was fairly flat, but he also raised his little hand and gently covered his slightly opened back lip.

Among them, Takikawa's reaction was the biggest-the confident smile on his face froze, his eyes were wide, and his eyes seemed to fall out of his eye sockets.

The reason everyone had such a violent reaction was all because Ogata at this time was reciting "The Analects" in Chinese just like Takikawa did just now.

Moreover, people with a slightly normal ear hearing can hear that Ogata's Tang tone is much more standard than Takikawa just now.

After Ogata recites one sentence, he recites the next one.

Sentence after sentence, UU read www.uukānshu.com without any pause, and smoothly memorized 7 long and slurred sentences in The Analects.

After the recitation was over, Ogata said softly to Takikawa, who was still smiling stiffly and his eyes widened in front of him:

"Although I have only been to the temple house for a few years, I still studied well in the temple during the time when I was studying at the temple house."

After leaving these words faintly, Ogata strode out of the room.

Ogata didn't bother to bother about this Takikawa anymore.

Because the two are not people in the same world at all.

Although Ogata is a samurai like this Takigawa, he is the ruling class of this era.

But Ogata was only a junior samurai of the small feudal clan of Hirose clan.

And Takigawa is directly behind the flag of the shogun.

Strictly speaking, talents like Takikawa are the real ruling class of this era.

Ogata has nothing to say about Takikawa as the real ruling class.

No matter how much truth is said, I’m afraid it’s the same. Ogata doesn’t bother to waste time with such people.

After Ogata strode out of the room, Guasheng stunned for a while and hurriedly followed.

As for Takikawa-he still stood there stupidly, not yet fully recovered.
