Ninja Ice House

No one is a fool who can reach a high position.

Only outsiders who don't care, and those who are outside the core, will think that the destruction of the Uchiha family was a sudden accident.

Those who are interested already know that the arrow is on the string and has to be launched.

"If it weren't for my influence, it should be half a year to a year's preparation and it will be launched. It depends on when Shimura Danzo can initially master Uchiha Shisui's Kaleidoscope Sharingan. 』

Closing his eyes and falling asleep, Gu Shan Bu Shui, who weighed the pros and cons, leaned on the chair and thought about his future plans, while Hong Ye was very considerately pressing his stiff shoulders.

The room fell into silence for a moment.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Shan Bu Shui opened his eyes, seemed to remember something, and asked abruptly:

"Your official appointment letter has come down, how do you feel?"

"It's just an idle job, and the noble daughter of the court will not let me, the newly promoted Shao Nayan, get close to me. All I can do is to review newspapers, magazines, and publishing documents submitted by various places. In fact, the only authority is also It has been reduced to a display, and it is only discussed but not reviewed. It is not a publication that clearly violates the law and public order and good customs, so it will not be worn by small shoes..."

"The place for the elderly and the springboard for arranging subordinates have long been taken away by the Ministry of Governance and the Ministry of Punishment. The central government tends to be clean, and does not manage general affairs or do specific things, so it will not be contaminated by right and wrong."

Of course, it is not absolute. The ministers of the Taizheng, the left and right ministers, and the councilors are all big figures with real power.

Zhong Na Yan's duties are similar to the "Yellow Gate" that communicates internally and externally. Of course, this is not a eunuch, but a dignified official; Invisible Prime Minister issued and executed.

Any system will leave a yamen that doesn't care about anything, looks noble, but actually has nothing, just to make it easier for people like Gushan Bushui to arrange cronies, or give people empty pay as a reward.

With the floating money and face, don't make trouble in the real affairs department.

Gu Shan Bu Shui had never used such a privilege before, mainly because there were too few members of the direct line of the family, and close relatives also had serious duties, so there was no need to go through the back door.

"The work is indeed very leisurely, and no one troubles me. The government even sent over a dozen attendants, saying that the Minister of the Taizheng personally took care of it."

"Don't think too much, it was appointed by the daimyo himself."

Gu Shan Bu Shui said casually,

"Just leave it to them to do the official affairs. If you have any ideas, you can also order them. Anything within the scope of authority is fine."

"As long as it is tenable, nominal jurisdiction is fine?"

"of course."

Gu Shan Bu Shui smiled proudly,

"Other people don't have this kind of treatment, you can. Gushan is standing behind you, as long as it is not something that is outraged by the sky, someone will give you face."

For example, in name, Shao Nayan is the personal secretary of a daimyo, and he is qualified to handle all correspondence, but the important things are handled by his superiors. Shao Nayan mostly deals with things such as culture, hygiene, etiquette, clan weddings and funerals, etc., and at the same time He is also a cultural consultant of the harem, and works part-time to write notes on daily life, miscellaneous notes of court knowledge, etc.

There is no need to worry about serious matters, and no one really thinks that the Gushan family will have any important influence through Hongye. The vague power that seems to be able to get a hand in everything behind it is more interesting.

"Then... let me buy a cultural and creative club. Didn't the young master say before that to conquer people's hearts, you need more powerful cultural dissemination? Recently, the film industry has been very popular, and several influential stars have emerged .By the way, the 'Proofreading Advisory Group' under the command of the young master borrowed from me, they are more experienced..."

"Fine!"

If it hadn't been for Hongye, Gushan Bushui would have almost forgotten that he still has a great writer's pen name "Xiwu".

"It's fine to take care of it when you have time. You don't need to focus on these trivial matters. It's more reliable to leave it to professional people."

After a pause, the young governor suddenly thought of something,

"Do you want to arrange some people?"

The cultural and creative industry is not only an important publicity channel, but also a service industry. Once it becomes bigger, it can provide many jobs.

"The young master's eyes are like torches. Some survivors of the old country come to seek refuge one after another, but..."

Hongye replied embarrassingly,

"The young master doesn't like them, and the concubine himself doesn't think they are of much use. But, anyway, I came here because of the reputation, and I always want to give them a way out..."

They are all subjugated, and most of them are reduced to refugees without a fixed place. It would be good to have a job that can make ends meet.

"It's all trivial, you arrange it yourself."

Gu Shan Bu Shui waved his hand generously.

The field of cultural media definitely needs to be laid out. However, it is not so urgent now. Before the advent of the Internet era, the current primitive mode of inefficient information transmission is enough.

Soft power needs to be consolidated, and more importantly, hard power.He is not strong enough, his voice is not loud enough, no matter how beautiful his words are, no one will listen.

If the Gushan family produced a "three ninja" level strongman, they could basically walk sideways.The next-line "Konoha Technicians" and the like can also protect the family for decades.

After the two talked about trivial matters, Hongye suddenly showed a look of hesitation, hesitating to speak.

"Why... what else is difficult?"

After hearing the words, Hongye plucked up her courage and said:

"Young master, in the past few years, there should be nothing serious, right? Do we have another child, and Xianglin is alone, without brothers and sisters, and quite lonely?"

"Ok?"

Gu Shan Bu Shui was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said,

"This kind of thing, just let it happen. Although the number of times we have had sex over the years has not been many, it is not too small. We basically haven't taken any contraceptive measures. Isn't it because we haven't conceived? We can't force it!"

Hongye sighed and said leisurely:

"It's not that I can't conceive, but that the timing is wrong. Xianglin's birth was an accident for the young master, and a risk for me. One calculation is enough, and the kindness and kindness of the young master and the Gushan family cannot be used as bargaining chips." .”

"You think so? So, there is a chance to give Xianglin a younger brother and sister, and you have extinguished this possibility?"

Gu Shan Bu Shui, who seemed to have realized something a long time ago, raised his head and looked at the pretty face of Hong Ye who felt guilty.

"Why did you just tell me today?"

Taking a deep breath, Hongye calmed down and replied:

"Born in trepidation and grown up in the eyes of others, only Xianglin is enough. Not everyone is as strong as that child. Which child is willing to be an illegitimate child whose father is unknown, and who is willing to be reincarnated as me, a protective child In the arms of a mother who can’t even do it?”

It was the luck of the mother and daughter to have the nobleman Gu Shan Bu Shui on the stall, but the fate favored this kind of thing, so we really can't rely too much on it.

Now Hongye can be considered to have walked out of her own way, and Xianglin is no longer an illegitimate daughter who has no power to protect herself.

While Hongye was anxiously waiting, Gushan Bushui broke the silence with a chuckle.

"The whirlpool bloodline is really miraculous. Physical healing can allow Xianglin to survive the birth of an almost foolproof contraceptive method. Although the process was tortuous, I am still very satisfied with the result. You have been secretly contraceptive for so long, why have you changed your mind now? Even if you don't say it, I can't find either..."

"My concubine wants the young master to know. Moreover, you always have to make up your mind about the family plan. The Gushan family has a big business, and it is impossible for Xianglin to take the helm. Moreover, she can't afford it, and she doesn't even have talents and interests. It would be great if you have siblings to help you."

A mother's thoughtfulness in planning for her children should not be underestimated.Gong Dou seems to be a talent hidden in his blood. Even if Gu Shan Bu Shui can't withstand the pressure to marry another noble daughter in the future, if he has more brothers and sisters, and occupies a good position in advance, it is impossible for him to get nothing.

"Do as you want, and I will protect you."

Gu Shan Bu Shui said unquestionable words in a flat tone, although Hong Ye's words were worried too early, but who can predict what the future will be like?

Such a powerful Uchiha family, which has been passed down for thousands of years, is almost gone.

Even Konoha Village, which is so powerful that it is revered as the lord of the ninja world, is in danger of almost overthrowing.

It seems that it is not an exaggeration to plan for a rainy day.

……

The winter snow fell continuously for seven days, and there were more than ten days before the winter vacation of Muye Village Ninja School. Gushan Bushui couldn't stand it anymore and returned to Maodong, the manor outside the village.

The renovated luxurious courtyard in Muye Village did not consider how to arrange it so that it would be warm in winter and cool in summer, so that a nobleman like Gushan Bushui, who has not suffered much since childhood, could live there.

In terms of being tempered, Gushan Bushui can also carry it, otherwise he wouldn't be on the path of a ninja.But there is no need to endure this uncomfortable climate that can obviously be avoided.

In the heated warm room, Gushan Bushui is leisurely drinking tea and enjoying the snow, when the temporary personal servant Takami comes to report someone's visit.

"Uchiha patriarch? What is he doing here? Uchiha hasn't reached the end of the mountain yet."

On the surface, it seems that there is still power to fight, but what the facts are, it is really hard to judge without an objective standpoint.

"Tell him to come in... Wait, let him go to Zhongting, I will wait for him in the terrace garden."

It was snowing heavily outside, and inside the palace-like manor, there was actually a scene of blooming flowers, which was a bit extravagant.

The well-informed Uchiha Fugaku naturally wouldn't be overwhelmed by this kind of extravagance that costs money like water, and sat calmly opposite Gusugi Bosui.

Today's Uchiha patriarch, wearing a plain jonin vest, does not have any expensive attire to show nobility, but has a calm attitude that is not angry and majestic.

"Sorry, this is a paradise I enjoy privately, so the layout is a little presumptuous and not solemn enough."

"Young Governor, you are welcome. Today's visit is actually a request..."

"Oh? Tell me!"

Uchiha Fugaku's straightforwardness is a bit surprising.It seems that during this period of time, Uchiha Fugaku has been under a lot of pressure.

"Presumably the young governor is also aware of the contradictions between Konoha Village and Uchiha. Can you introduce me for me, I want to meet the daimyo?"

"Such a trivial matter, is it worth the patriarch's trip?"

Gu Shan Bu Shui laughed and said,

"Actually, no one stopped me from meeting in the name of Uchiha, so I don't need to recommend..."

Back then, Uchiha Madara stared at him, and everyone in Fire Nation trembled with fright. Now that his reputation is no longer there, there are still many people trying to save face.

"Some things can only be said in private, but if they are put on the table, they are irreversible."

Uchiha Fugaku shook his head.

Whether it is a loud conspiracy advertised or an unknown whisper, it is not only for talking, but also a gesture.

Uchiha is the Uchiha of Konoha Village. If something goes wrong, "take the name as self-respect" and put internal conflicts under the sun for people to point out, the good days of the Uchiha family will come to an end.

After thinking for a while, Gu Shan Bu Shui, who wanted to understand, responded:

"Some time ago, the daimyo also told me that we are indeed inclined to defend the Uchiha family and want to promote reconciliation. However, there are many concerns..."

After taking a sip of hot tea, Gu Shan Bu Shui continued to explain:

"With all due respect, the plight of the Uchiha family is directly related to the patriarch's weak control over the family. A Uchiha family with a unified will and actionable actions has room for negotiation and even cooperation. But now, It's completely out of control, even if you speak well with Daimyo and Konoha Village, the radicals inside the Uchiha will listen to you?"

If Uchiha Fugaku is really the one and only patriarch with real power, he may not be on the verge of extermination. Even Zhishi Village Danzo, after taking away Uchiha Shisui's Kaleidoscope Sharingan, directly uses other gods to control Uchiha Fuyue can indirectly hold the Uchiha family in his hands.

Wouldn't it be great to strengthen one's own strength without having to go to war?In this situation, no one can control the direction of the Uchiha family.There is no other way but to destroy.

As the patriarch, running around for the fate of the family, even putting down his face and asking for help and his name, is indeed admirable.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

"Nowadays... everyone thinks of Uchiha in this way?"

In a state of disunity, he overestimated his capabilities, planned things indiscriminately, and offended all the forces that could ask for help.

Seeing Uchiha Fugaku's troubled look, Gusugi Bumizu decided to do a little trivial thing.

"I will pass on your request, but the daimyo has been ill recently, so he can't do much. You also know that although the third generation seems easy-going, he may not listen. As for Shimura Danzo and other senior advisers, they are counting on no..."

"Thank you for your candor."

"It's just a matter of raising your hands, success or failure...don't have too much hope."

After saying a few polite words, Gu Shan Bu Shui tentatively asked,

"Lord patriarch, have you ever thought about breaking the situation with your personal strength? If Uchiha has the ability to be the enemy of thousands of ancestors, and even have one or two masters of the 'Sannin' level, he will not accept internal punishment and external invasion. You won’t have nowhere to go, you can only risk your life with all your might..."

"You mean, a master like the ancestor Uchiha Madara?"

Uchiha Fugaku's pupils shrunk slightly. I don't know if Gushan Bushui is hinting or pointing out something.

"We don't have that kind of power..."

"Maybe there is, but you don't know that's all. Why Uchiha Shisui died, why the radicals are full of confidence, and when hope dies, they are crazy to incredible. I really don't know at all?"

Just relying on the prestige of "stopping water in an instant" will not bring them so much confidence.

Gu Shan Bu Shui hinted vaguely,

"If you really have a stronger power in your clan, show it openly. Tigers pretend to be cats. After a long time, others will really treat you as cats. You do have sharp teeth and claws. When necessary, you can still If you show it, you are too cautious, and you are underestimated, but you can't blame others."
