Original God, but the real world

Chapter 148 147-I can receive but I don’t recognize the reward

Kujo Takayuki was not happy.

After the country was closed, it became difficult to investigate matters other than Inazuma.

Why is Ying still able to enter the vision of Yaejinko and the family of Shafuxing? Because what she did is an epic story that has the potential to be sung.

With this kind of popularity, as long as the information can be passed on, there will definitely be a share of it.

But Jiang Qing doesn't have such a reputation.

The only people in the Seven Kingdoms who are truly willing to make a big effort to investigate him are probably the Fatui.

However, Kujo Takayuki was not clear about anything other than Inazuma, but there were some things he could still investigate.

For example, Jiang Qing came from the resistance army.

A man who holds a high position in the rebel army and comes to the castle tower with authorization from the general, his first thought is to cooperate with his enemy.

Kujo Takayuki can't have too many positive emotions.

He could find many reasons to give Jiang Qing, but he didn't have an excuse to treat Jiang Qing as a saint who could forget all grudges with a smile.

"Lord Tenryo Bugyo seems to have a lot of misunderstandings about me?" Jiang Qing looked innocent. "That's normal. After all, the situation where the three Bugyos ruled over Inazuma has lasted for a long time. It's normal for you to not be able to adapt to the sudden appearance of me."

"But Master Jiujo, you can trust my sincerity." Jiang Qing said softly, "There is a long way to go. We should be able to cooperate for quite some time. You still have time to verify my integrity."

“I don’t know…” Kujo Takayuki was about to confront the opponent, but found that he didn’t even know the opponent’s name.

"Jiang Qing." Kujo Sara reminded.

"I wonder what Mr. Jiang Qing's sincerity is?" Kujo Takayuki said with a serious expression.

"The hatred between the people of Haizhi Island and you." Jiang Qing said, "The war brought trouble to both sides, and we won."

"The winner allows the loser to remain in his position. I think this is the greatest integrity. What do you think?"

If it were someone else, Kujo Takayuki would definitely insist that he was innocent.

There was indeed war on the front line, but it was merely an internal matter that the Tenryo-bukyō was supposed to perform.

I am the dignified Lord of Heaven. You said that the war on the front line has something to do with me, of course that’s the case.

The war has nothing to do with me, so why should I be the leader?

As for forcing Haizhi Island to rebel and nurturing the enemy for personal gain, he would never admit it regardless of whether he did it or not.

There is no need to acknowledge this kind of thing.

Things like this can be simply thrown onto the shoulders of the lower-level shogunate samurai who failed to do their job properly.

Kujo Takayuki refused to admit it, saying that it was the fault of the shogunate's samurai, who were unable to capture those on the wanted list in time.

As for why they headed for the island of Haiji...then you can ask them. What does it have to do with me?

There is no evidence for this kind of thing, unless Kujo Takayuki explicitly tells certain people what to do and drives them to Kaijima.

If he had acted a little more covertly, it would have been impossible to obtain direct evidence to prove that he had done such a thing.

One thing is one thing.

You can kill me for this, but I will never admit that I did it.

Jiang Qing could forcefully put the blame on him after killing him, and he would still have to bear the crime in the end.

But that was after he died.

At least he would not admit it while Kujo Takayuki still had the power to speak.

A person can make a solemn oath, but it does not necessarily mean that he has a clear conscience. It may just be that the price of being honest is a bit high, so he can only stick to his words.

However, Jiang Qing is a rebel from Haizhi Island. Although he does not have as much power as him for the time being, he is in a higher position than him.

The key is that he is better at fighting than him.

There is no need to reason with a boss who has the ability to kill people at any time.

Jiang Qing wouldn't listen, let alone believe it.

Kujo Takayuki couldn't directly say that he was innocent, but he would never admit it, so he just remained silent.

Jiang Qing waited for a while and found that Kujo Takayuki did not have any unnecessary reaction.

"Master Kujo, let's get back to the point."

The old guy won't express his opinion even when he should.

Jiang Qing was not surprised and skipped the question about sincerity.

This sincerity can be appreciated by Kujo Takayuki without any reward.

Jiang Qing smiled warmly: "The general hopes that we will implement the Eye Hunting Order to the end, and then completely wipe out the wandering samurai in various places in Inazuma."

What can we say about wandering warriors... If a group can survive without producing anything, it means that they have plundered or traded production materials from other places.

That's it.

Wandering warriors are definitely not trading, they are looting.

It really needs to be cleaned up.

They were unlikely to harm the Inazuma elite and could only plunder supplies from the common people to provide for their own survival.

This kind of thing really has no value in existence.

If we consider it from the perspective of the black and white gloves, it is possible that some of the wandering samurai are pawns of the Inazuma dignitaries.

Just like the rock treasure inheritor I met at the door before.

He is holding a real famous sword of the school and is probably the true descendant of Iwakira.

But the Iwaki-ryu actually has successors in various places in Inazuma. In the game, these samurai hide in various cracks, guarding a precious treasure chest.

The true successor joined the Okujishu and worked for the shogunate.

The remaining descendants were scattered, most of them were wandering warriors.

"The Eye Hunting Order is almost complete." Kujo Takayuki nodded slightly, "This matter should have been finished a long time ago."

If it weren't for the rebels, the Eye Hunting Order would have indeed ended.

Now it’s all over, but there’s a big dad standing over my head.

Kujo Takayuki felt a little regretful.

He did not regret his choice that day, nor did he regret making the rebels a target.

Upon reflection, it was nothing more than the Fatui intercepting the intelligence, and the chaos caused by the internal discord on the front line was too serious.

The failure of the front-line army became a chance for Jiang Qing's promotion.

One person's success, of course, requires another person's failure as a stepping stone.

Kujo Takayuki's failure was the reason why Jiang Qing came to power.

No matter how Kujo Takayuki reflected on it, he didn't think that his original plan was wrong.

He only did one thing wrong. When he should have killed the rebels, he was still thinking about seeking greater benefits.

At first, he was moved by the Fatui's new plan, so he gave up his original plan to kill the opponent. Later, he thought about kicking the Fatui out and stabbing them in the back with both hands. As a result, he had no time to deal with the rebels.

Then it cracked.

Greed finally backfired, forcing him to fall into such a situation.

If we have to say where he went wrong, it certainly wasn't starting a war on Kaijima.

Kujo Takayuki just felt that he was too conceited.

The place of Inazuma is too stable for the Kujo family.

I hope that the children are foolish and lucrative, and there is no disaster and no trouble to the public.

If a person is stupid and dull but can rise to the top of the three dukes and nine ministers, this person is either extremely wise but appears foolish, or the country is already sick.

For most people, this is just a parent's expectation for their children.

But Inazuma is different, Inazuma really lives in this kind of environment.

The head of the Kujo family could truly rise to the rank of high official without any trouble.

It seems that there is no way to compete for the key position of the head of the family.

As for Kujo Kamajima's ascension to the throne, if it were not for the subsequent changes, Kujo Takayuki had actually chosen his successor, that is, his eldest son.

Kujo Kamajima has no chance in this life. If his good brother is willing to take care of him, he can still be a powerful person in Inazuma.

After all, brothers are blood relatives and are always much more reliable.

But if the good brother is a little cruel, then there is nothing to say.

The reason why Kujo Kamajima came to power later was because the changes were too great.

Kujo Takayuki was thrown into prison and waited for death, and the Kujo family was almost wiped out.

If Ying had not thought that he was courageous and given the Kujo family a second chance, the history of the Kujo family would have ended there.

Kujo Kamajima was the one who changed the current situation of the Kujo family, so he is certainly qualified to take the position.

If there had been no major changes in Kujo Takayuki's generation, his life trajectory would probably have been to be born into the Kujo family, the eldest son of the head of the family, become the head of the family, and accept the position of Tenryo Bugyo.

The eldest son is usually the first to receive the political capital of his father. As long as he performs reasonably well, he has already won over all his younger brothers just by virtue of his age.

Supernatural powers cannot defeat destiny, and a good fate cannot defeat reincarnation. This is the truth.

Being born into the Kujo family already makes one a VIP in the reincarnation world. Being born into the Kujo family and having the status of the eldest son makes him even more of a heavyweight.

Ah, this, well, I don’t see any trouble.

If this is the case, the most difficult moment in his life would probably be the moment he was born.

The god is above the three magistrates, but he sits in the castle tower all year round and rarely appears.

The three magistrates are the three princes of Inazuma.

In later developments, Kujo Takayuki almost became the sole king.

No matter how Kujo Takayuki reflected on it, he just felt that he lost here.

His success was natural, so he didn't take the Fatui and Kaijima seriously at that time.

In the end, they were counterattacked by both sides and had to submit to others to protect themselves and their family.

Jiang Qing's attitude is very clear.

If you help me do things, I will give you the opportunity to survive and retain your power.

This is a deal.

As the losing party, he could not refuse such a fair and equal deal.

Jiang Qing will protect the power that he has been granted, and if he wants to keep it, he has to do something.

"That's pretty good." Jiang Qing tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

Jiang Qing wasn't quite sure what Kujo Takayuki was thinking, but it didn't matter. As long as Kujo Takayuki didn't feel that he was irreplaceable, he would understand the cruelty of fate.

Even if you are the head of the Kujo family who is destined to be in a high position, if you take a wrong step, you will have to endure humiliation and be a servile slave.

There is no choice that does not come with a price, and the price of losing is so cruel.

Kujo Takayuki taught me two lessons, so I gave him one lesson in return, which can be considered as reciprocity.

"I don't know much about the Eye Hunting Order, so it's inconvenient for me to intervene rashly." Jiang Qing thought for a moment, "If Master Jiutiao doesn't mind, how about leaving this matter to Master Jiutiao?"

"The general is very concerned about this matter."

"I will handle the situation on Kaijima Island. Coral Palace Xinhai has long admired the general's glory. I want to summon her to Inazuma Castle to meet the general and serve in the shogunate."

Kujo Sara, who had remained silent, rolled his eyes.

Look, the main purpose is to allow Coral Palace Xinhai to meet the shogun. As for serving in the shogunate, that's just a by-product.

When it comes to loyalty, it has to be you.

Kujo Takayuki looked solemn and didn't say anything.

What Jiang Qing said was what I wanted and I felt that it sounded like a discussion, but in fact it was just a notification.

It's normal that he needs someone he can trust to help him.

Paratroopers also need confidants, either bring one with them or choose one from a group of unfamiliar people.

Jiang Qing chose to bring one for himself.

"Oh, right," Jiang Qing seemed to suddenly remember something, "Well, there can't be a second island of Inazuma, right?"

"Because of incomplete communication with Kaijima, an unnecessary fight was triggered." Kujo Takayuki whispered, "The shogunate cannot make the same mistake twice."

"That's really good news." Jiang Qing smiled. "By the way, although Tianling Fengxing is in charge of military affairs, the Eye Hunting Order is the general's main focus after all. I guess you don't have time to solve another problem."

"I plan to activate the Takagi family, and let the head of the Takagi family, Takagi Susumu, be responsible for cleaning up the chaotic wandering samurai in Inazuma."

"That's right." Kujo Takayuki narrowed his eyes slightly, "Takagi Susumu is indeed a good candidate."

"I will authorize him to clear out the stray samurai inside Inazuma."

"No, no, no, the Tianling Bugyo should be responsible for the most important things." Jiang Qing waved his hand leisurely, "I have already contacted the She Bugyo, Kujo Sara and the She Bugyo will cooperate with you to solve the problem of the Eye Hunting Order."

Kujo Sara was a little surprised, but didn't say anything.

No, when did this person contact the agency?

"Two of the three magistrates will act at the same time. It would be even better if you could bring the Kanjo magistrate with you."

"As for the Yingsi family, I will be responsible for notifying them."

He stood up and said softly, "The Eye Hunting Order needs to face a group of people with divine eyes. Ordinary soldiers will inevitably suffer losses when fighting against them, which is a waste."

"How about this, temporarily handing over the military power to Ying Sijin. It is reasonable for ordinary shogunate samurai to deal with bandits composed of ordinary people."

Kujo Takayuki lowered his head slightly, "It should be so."

Kujo Takayuki was not angry at all about being deprived of his military power. He was even relieved.

"Lord Jiujo won't force me, right?" Jiang Qing asked with a smile.

"It's reasonable and not reluctant because of the general's order." Kujo Takayuki said calmly.

"Then I will go ahead."

Jiang Qing stood up and said goodbye.

The most important purpose of his coming here was accomplished when he met Kujo Takayuki, and the rest were just small things.

Kujo Sara did not leave.

If she still wanted to ask Kujo Takayuki something, she naturally would not leave with Jiang Qing.

Without Jiang Qing, an outsider, the atmosphere became even more awkward.

If everything goes well, even if Kujo Sara discovers his methods, Kujo Takayuki can still claim that he has a clear conscience and that everything he did was for the benefit of the family.

After all, he did bring greater power and wealth to the Kujo family - if Ying had not defeated Lei Ying head-on and Ying had not changed the general's choice.

He made a choice between two worlds and then encountered two accidents, but the results were surprisingly the same.

He cracked.

The current result makes Kujo Takayuki feel embarrassed to say such words.

For the benefit of the family...the family is now in turmoil, and he has to shoulder most of the responsibility.

"Master of the family." Kujo Sara said in a serious voice, "Can you give me an answer to the things you cannot admit to Jiang Qing?"

"I learned from Jiang Qing that the Eye Hunting Order was actually a decree jointly promoted by you and the Fatui."

"And the purpose is to exclude dissidents."

Kujo Sara's voice was a little nervous: "I shouldn't have said anything about fighting for greater benefits for the Kujo family, but it's not appropriate to do so at the expense of Inazuma's interests."

"Sarah, are you going to teach me how to do things?"

Kujo Takayuki said sternly: "If you hadn't chosen the war on the front line, if you had delayed a little, I wouldn't be in this situation today!"

He also took great effort to nod.

Kujo Takayuki was a descendant of the emperor of Inazuma and was born to rule the country of Inazuma.

It was the first time that someone asked him such questions as "Are you reluctant to do this?"

reluctantly?

Of course he did it reluctantly.

But he couldn't refuse.

That's how a deal works. You may not be satisfied, but since you've accepted it, at least you have to get the job done.

This is not a moral issue.

If it were just a moral restriction, Kujo Takayuki would immediately turn against him.

He has no moral bottom line.

What forced him to complete the transaction was the Wheel of Wishes and a Hundred Eyes behind Jiang Qing.

This means that the general is also observing Jiang Qing's actions.

In this choice, Jiang Qing did not kill him for the sake of the general's hunting order, which gave him a natural advantage.

Because he was the one who made sacrifices and paid the price.

If you pay the price first, you will naturally get a higher evaluation.

After Jiang Qing gave in, if Kujo Takayuki continued to be ignorant, Jiang Qing could immediately uproot the Kujo family.

General, all three commissioners will approve of his approach.

It was a life-and-death feud, but when there was a chance for revenge, he gave it up and asked for peace. He just took advantage of the words and was a little arrogant.

What does this mean?
Others give in when they win, and you are still ignorant when you lose. That's your problem.

Kujo Takayuki had no way to fight against someone who held the greater good and was more popular than himself. Any resistance from him would make him seem incompetent and ignorant.

Incompetence is what the general cannot tolerate the most.

He was incompetent and ignorant, and hindered the general's plan. The general didn't think any way Jiang Qing dealt with him was excessive.

The direct cause of all this was the fight between the nine Saras.

If she retreats and defends herself, even if there is internal discord, she will have no problem stabilizing the situation.

But she took the initiative to start a war and was captured alive, which directly led to the current situation.

"So you don't think you're wrong?"

Kujo Sara's eyes became colder.

She was also concerned about the death of Kujo Takayuki here, and she felt that the head of the family was doing something wrong, and she was also worried that he was really dead.

But it seems that people don’t think so at all.

"Do you really think he will let the Kujo family go?" Kujo Takayuki's smile was somewhat sarcastic. "You are wrong, Sara, you are absolutely wrong."

"He just understands the rules of how this country works."

"Narakamiya, General!"

"The general's will is everything to this country!"

Kujo Takayuki stood up, "He never thought of letting the Kujo family go!"

The old man's face was gloomy. "He wants to win the general's trust. As long as he has the general's approval, killing people is nothing. With supreme power, killing people doesn't even need a reason."

He didn't know it was groundless.

But according to the experience of the elderly, if you want to kill a low position at a high position, it is enough to have the intention, and if the reason can fool people, then it doesn't matter.

The dead cannot argue.

This answer was completely within Kujo Sara's expectations. She didn't think Jiang Qing would really let go of his hatred.

She was not asking about the future, but about the past.

It is obvious that the only reflection that Kujo Takayuki has on his past behavior is that he lost.

He didn't feel that he was wrong, he just felt that he lost.

This is really...
"Sara, don't you understand this man's true face?" Kujo Takayuki wanted to win over Kujo Sara.

Contradictions aside, Kujo Sara was indeed the top talent within the shogunate.

It is necessary to gather the things that need to be gathered, especially at this critical moment when the Kujo family is in turmoil.

"He will definitely not go to find Ying Sijin."

One incident is enough to expose this person's ideas.

Kujo Takayuki is just arrogant, but not stupid.

If Jiang Qing really came in an arrogant and domineering manner, Kujo Takayuki would only regret that he lost to such a person.

He already knew that Jiang Qing gained General Lei Dian's trust because the general needed him to do something.

If Jiang Qing acts on impulse in this matter, it will easily lose the general's trust.

If he loses, he loses, and he always has to admit it.

But it's just a pity for Kujo Takayuki.

Probably, this is truly God's will for my death.

I lost, but I don't accept it. I just think you were just lucky.

This has nothing to do with the outcome, and Jiang Qing doesn't care, but Kujo Takayuki found a pretty good reason and felt that he could die.

But Jiang Qing came to discuss cooperation with him, so Kujo Takayuki was no longer a regret.

He was very wary of such a person.

"If he tells me about Ying Si Jin, this matter will definitely spread." Kujo Takayuki said solemnly, "But he will definitely not go to Ying Si Jin."

"Ting Sijin will never accept this favor if he takes the initiative to find this opportunity."

Of course Jiang Qing would not go to find Ying Sijin.

"Good brother, it's time to get things done."

Walking out of the Tianling Fengxing Mansion, Jiang Qing murmured softly.

The Takashi family, who just agreed to do the job but ended up just delivering a message, should also come in handy.

This is not simply about giving benefits to people.

If this is the case, Jiang Qing would of course come forward to accept the other party's gratitude and let the other party know that he had helped him get to the top.

But of course Ying Sijin could see that Jiang Qing was just supporting him to compete with Kujo Takayuki.

If he was really grateful for this help, Jiang Qing could only accept his gratitude reluctantly.

But it's unlikely.

For a business with high returns and even greater risks, you have to ask others for money to support you. This is a favor and you should accept it.

But if others force you to take risks, it is not a favor, it is using people as cannon fodder, it is a grudge that must be remembered.

If you can gain benefits from it and achieve wealth and honor by taking risks, it is truly your own ability.

But there is no need to be grateful to the person who pushes you, because the other party can gain greater benefits from this matter.

At best, we are cooperating.

He forces you an opportunity where your death is greater than the gain, you seize the opportunity, and then it brings benefits to both parties.

Not bearing grudges can't be considered a favor.

But more often than not, they are just sending you to be a target.

It's impossible for Ying Sijin to think that Jiang Qing pushed him to the position because he was optimistic about his ability to succeed, and then be grateful to Jiang Qing and think that this was his adoptive parent - he's not that stupid, right?
Jiang Qing didn't care what the Yingsi family thought, he just needed some time to do his own things.

After the conversation was exposed, Ying Sijin would soon become restless and take the initiative to come to the door to ask for a chance.

Kujo Takayuki will probably use this time to arrange some things to compete for power with Takagi Susumu and delay Takagi Susumu's ascension to the throne.

But there is no point in doing this.

As long as Jiang Qing is in a higher position of power, he will always have a share of the credit for any achievements made by Kujo Takayuki.

After completing the same task, the general would only think that Jiang Qing was more capable than Kujo Takayuki.

If the matter drags on, Jiang Qing will still be the final winner.

Kujo Takayuki probably realized it, but in order to continue to survive, he couldn't turn against Jiang Qing immediately.

If you stay alive, there is still a chance to turn the situation around. If you fall out at this time, not only will it show your irrationality, but your death will also be meaningless.

He'd probably be gathering his chips, planning on a last-ditch effort or something?

never mind.

And this period of time is exactly what Jiang Qing wants.

Ying Sijin had to choose Jiang Qing because he did something wrong.

He really is capable of being this target.

The core of the whole matter, the reason why Jiang Qing mentioned Ying Sijin was not because the other party did nothing and just wanted to wait for the harvest in Inazuma City.

It doesn't matter.

The key point is that in the eyes of Kujo Takayuki, the Takagi family really has a chance to replace the Kujo family.

This is the biggest mistake.

When he was in power, the ability of the Yingsi family was a good thing, because he always had the confidence to control them.

At this time, the ability of the Takagi family is the political achievements of Lord Tenryo Bugyo, and it is also a reflection of his outstanding ability.

But now Jiang Qing has greater power, and Jiang Qing is obviously hostile to him.

At this time, the ability of the Takagi family was wrong in the eyes of Kujo Takayuki.

The other party has the potential to threaten one's power.

Your immediate boss feels that your ability threatens his position. Even if Ying Sijin knows that this matter was brought up by Jiang Qing, he will definitely choose Jiang Qing instead of expressing his loyalty to Kujo Takayuki.

In this kind of thing, when the other party doubts your ability to replace him/her, you really have to have this ability and really try to replace him/her.

It is useless to prove one's loyalty and harmlessness simply by removing one's armor and weapons.

You want to prove your loyalty, so why don't you just let me kill you?

Don't dead people have even less chance of betraying me?

So you have to die.

If you surrender and let me kill you, I can express my condolences and say that I was wrong and you are truly a loyal minister.

But if you resist - then I'm right, you have bad intentions, you just haven't expressed them before.

Now I have a keen eye and have caught you!
This chain of logic may sound outrageous, but it has proven itself many times in history.

The superiors doubted the loyalty of their subordinates, and it was useless to just remove the armor and claim innocence.

The world is innocent, only life and death are the issues.

You can either really rebel against him and let him know, hey, you doubt me, right? Then I really intend to be your father.

Otherwise, you can only quietly allow the other party to strip you of your reputation and prestige, and completely lose the ability to resist. In this case, you might have the opportunity to go home and farm.

Of course, if things got worse, he might have become depressed halfway through the journey, and then committed suicide by being shot by six arrows in the back.

Proving that he has no intention of resisting is not reassuring.

What makes most people believe more is that you have no ability to resist.

Takagi Shinta knows Kujo Takayuki very well.

Even if he chose a pig, he would not trust what Kujo Takayuki said.

He can now choose Kujo Takayuki and betray Jiang Qing.

With the two families joining forces, Jiang Qing really couldn't find a more suitable family for a while.

The deputy didn't want to cooperate, and the third brother didn't want to replace the deputy, so he temporarily found the fourth brother, which really made things difficult.

If Jiang Qing made a dirty move at this time, he would only lose points in the general's eyes.

He forces others to cooperate but fails to solve the problem. This is incompetence.

Forcing the other party to give up cooperation is more than just incompetence.

But this matter has taken root in Kujo Takayuki's heart, and he will definitely deal with the Takagi family if he has the chance.

Choose Kujo Takayuki. No matter what nonsense he is saying now, such as "I am good, you are good, and everyone is good", there will be settlements in the future.

Choose Jiang Qing. After all, he is a Liyue person and I have never offended him. At most, he is too late to do things, but I may be able to do something better later to wash away this problem.

Ying Sijin used his knee to make the choice, and he also knew that Jiang Qing was more suitable than Kujo Takayuki.

"So should this be called a false charge, or am I guilty just because I suspect you?"

Jiang Qing burst out laughing.

This is really not a difficult thing.

With Kujo Takayuki's reputation, it is difficult for anyone to trust him.

Jiang Qing and Kujo Takayuki suggested that the Takagi family could do something on behalf of the Kujo family.

As soon as this sentence spread, Ying Sijin would immediately understand that the word "replacement" alone was enough to ensure his own death.

Because if Jiang Qing supports him, he can really replace the Kujo family.

What Kujo Takayuki didn't notice before was that he was very busy when the storm was about to come.

Now he knows about Toussa Jin, and Toussa Jin also knows that Kujo Takayuki knows about it.

If he wants to live, he can only pray that Kujo Takayuki dies.

"Okay," Jiang Qing stretched, "I have to use my power for personal gain and do what I want to do."

He stretched out his hand, and the Hundred-Eyed Wheel floating on his fingertips flashed with lightning.

"Of course, I am using the General's authority to handle Inazuma's affairs."
