The Tale of Genji

Different from Shanda when he left for the expedition, Genji's return to Beijing was very low-key, and it can even be said to be quiet.

In this regard, the official statement is that everyone has worked hard, so a period of rest is needed. As for the actual inside story——

"It's to avoid disputes."

Once again, the uninvited guest sat down under the plum tree and said this answer.

Minamoto Larimitsu, who was eating the first meal of the day, thought about it for a moment, and for a moment felt that Abe Seimei, the younger brother, really didn't know how to pick time—but it might be intentional, and he chose to come over when she was eating. For a moment, I felt that this was nothing. In the past, the two of them grilled fish together in the middle of the night, and eating together was a daily routine.

"Qingming, have you eaten yet?"

Abe Seimei: "Not yet... Is Raiko inviting me?"

Yuan Laiguang: "Then let's eat together - Jiaoying, prepare some more - I won't make you hungry."

Abe Seimei: "The craftsmanship of Jiaoying? It's much better than before. But the food here is indeed very different from Raikou and Heiji—"

Minamoto Raimitsu: "Which one suits you better, Seimei?"

"Of course it's Raiko you are here."

Without hesitation, he made such an answer.

No, Abe Seimei said that he is really not partial - it is the truth!

Although the Ping family belonged to the warrior class, but the current general environment is that the whole country is vegetarian, so of course the Ping family cannot transcend the outside world.Rather, it is precisely because they have stepped into the ranks of public ministers that they have maintained the same eating habits as those nobles and ate noble food-in short, mainly vegetarian food, rarely without food. Meat.

The few exceptions are those foods that can show their status and are tributed from distant countries, such as salted fish or something.

But Genji was different.Because they have been enemies with monsters for a long time, they have to travel long distances up mountains and into waters from time to time when they are on missions. They may encounter any harsh environment. Most of Genji's people are good at martial arts.In order to maintain a strong body and eliminate demons and practice, Genji's food does not lack meat, but it is usually fish, and the meat of birds and beasts.

In order to promote digestion, they also often drink miso soup, eat prunes and other foods.

In terms of food types and richness, Genji won, right?

...That is, for some reason, Minamoto Raimitsu always feels that his life is miserable.

Everyday meals are so monotonous.

But she didn't understand how she came up with this idea. The current situation is like this. Everyone's staple food is rice, radish, cabbage, etc., and fish is considered a luxury.Aristocrats can eat better, but that's all they can eat miso soup, pickled radish, and rice balls in one meal...

Genji's food is already good, even Emperor Tonghu, who theoretically has the best life, is not much better than her. If there is a difference, the rice he eats may be of higher quality.

But inexplicably, I still feel wronged suddenly while eating.

And spontaneously came up with the idea of ​​- what are these things eating.

I can't get any happy mood from daily eating at all, unless there are well-made snacks.

However, Abe Seimei's answer was in line with Minamoto Raimitsu's intentions. She made a rice ball for her junior brother whom she hadn't seen for almost a year, and said, "It seems that you still think Fujiwara's side is better?"

Abe Seimei said: "At least until the fall of the Taira family... In this case, you and I will stand together with Raikou." Although it is limited to the political field, Abe Seimei must always be hostile to Genji on the Yin and Yang Road just go down.

Unless Genji is no longer mixed in Yin and Yang.

"I haven't seen you for a while, Seimei, you can actually say such things... Do you mean that you have a bad relationship with the Heping family?" On this point, Minamoto Raimitsu still felt a little strange. "I just came back, and I have already heard the conflict between you and that side."

The smile on the corner of Abe Seimei's mouth added a bit of helplessness: "Laikou——Brother Laiguang." He changed his address: "Aren't you being too eccentric?"

It is obvious that he and Guangyuan Shi did the thing, why do you just talk about me?

Is it because I don't call you brother? ? ?

"Light is still young, no matter how you think about it, you are more suspicious." Minamoto Raimitsu gave such an answer.

Abe Seimei deeply felt that Minamoto Raimitsu was talking nonsense with his eyes open: "Raimitsu, you are so blindly conniving, it is not good for the child." Minamoto Raimitsu raised her own child, how can she not know that it is a child? What kind of goods?

Guangyuan... That guy is indeed amazingly beautiful, but he feels too similar to Fujiwara Kane, who has been experienced in officialdom.

He is not merciless at cheating people. Guangyuan can at least share half of the credit for Ping's current misery.

For the rest, two-thirds belong to Fujiwara Kane's family, and Abe Seimei is only responsible for one-third.

Before Minamoto Raikou sent someone to present the head of Shuten-douji, but was robbed by Ibaraki-douji at the Rashomon, Guangyuan's handling was also clean and beautiful.

Although Genji made great contributions to the conquest of Dajiangshan, and the loss of Shuten Doji's head was not a crime of war...but the mouths of those high priests can say that the dead are alive.What's more, Genji's power in the officialdom has long since declined, and the person in charge is not yet in Beijing. If he wants to erase Genji's contributions—this is also catering to Emperor Tonghu's wishes—it will not be too easy to blame them.

And as long as the pot can be buckled, it will not be washed off for a while.When Minamoto Raimiko comes back later, even if he can be cleaned up, the idea of ​​"Genji is at fault" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, no matter how clever a politician is, there is nothing he can do at this time.

Guangyuanshi shined in this matter, holding the mustache plenipotentiary Genji that Minamoto Raimitsu left him for self-defense, he solved this problem very beautifully, and left his father with a "Why did Genji only send A few people brought Shuten-douji's head back because they had expended too much energy in the crusade against Oeyama."

The point is—Guangyuanshi really thought so, so he acted very sincerely and believably.

Emperor Tonghu was convinced by him.

Seimei Abe, who had been watching the show, endured the stomachache with a smile.

Although he doesn't know the specific development situation, he knows Minamoto Raimitsu!With Yuan Laiguang's desire to control, he must be prepared before attacking Dajiangshan, so how could he really suffer heavy losses?Just listen to this kind of words, if you take it seriously, you will be deceived.

Of course...unrelated people were cheated, and he didn't need to remind him, right?

"It's bad, Seimei." Minamoto Raimitsu said mercilessly, "You must have not told Hikari about my situation, right?"

Abe Seimei looked innocent: "Brother Laikou, you didn't tell me, how would I know?"

Minamoto Raimitsu: "Well, so you just watched him worry about me, and then didn't say a word."

Really nasty behavior.

Abe Seimei felt that he had been wronged: "Even if I said it——you still have to believe me?"

However, Guangyuan was full of hostility towards him, and he didn't believe what he said... In this regard, Abe Seimei is quite regrettable.

As for what to regret... I can only understand it.
