Chapter 1789 Dilemma

Latest website: "Father, do we really have to stay out of this matter?"

Tokugawa Ketatsu looked at his adoptive father with a look of reluctance on his face.

My father's great power was returned to mediocrity, but at any rate he had a good time.

But since he inherited the position of family governor, it has been the most low-key period for the family.

Now that Jiaren is coaxing and intervening, to be honest, he is very tempted, but he knows that the main reason why Jiaren values ​​him so much is the existence of his father, the pillar of support.

So this time I came to persuade again.

"Is that boy Jiaren really going to marry you because of you? Don't take yourself too seriously. No matter whether it succeeds or not, it will be beneficial to him without any harm."

Tokugawa Yingxi opened his eyes, his tone was calm, and he looked detached from the world.

"My Tokugawa family has been able to remain neutral because of our strength. Other alliances are just icing on the cake. Strength is the foundation of everything."

"But that girl Minamoto Raixue is really good. She is very strong and can lead the Genji to get close to us..."

Tokugawa Jiada argued hard.

"You are just greedy for other people's bodies."

Tokugawa Qingxi naturally knew what kind of character his adopted son was, and shook his head helplessly.

In fact, he didn't think much of Jiaren, he was just older and had a better foundation.

With such a huge advantage, they actually suffered such a huge setback during the last mission.

Even if he has an advantage, it's not absolutely certain.

Considering the current situation of the Tokugawa family, there is no need to get involved.

No matter who among them ascends the throne, it will not affect the status of the Tokugawa family.

On the contrary, even if the bet is successful in advance, it will bring huge benefits to the Tokugawa family after Yoshihito ascends the throne?

How can it be……

It's too late to take precautions.

So now for the Tokugawa family, they have to keep a low profile

But at this moment, the housekeeper came outside the room where the two were communicating and interrupted their conversation.

Obviously, it's not a very important matter, and the other party wouldn't dare to come over rashly at this time.

"What's up?"

"Elder Qi, His Highness Huiren is here to visit with the head of the Yuan Lai Xue family."

After hearing the butler's words, Tokugawa Yingxi couldn't help but a flash of light flashed in his eyes. His Highness Teruhito seemed to have a deep obsession with the throne.

Next to him, Tokugawa Ketatsu was happy, and then he laughed and said

"Father, that boy Teruhito must have come to win over me. It is very possible that he might even give up Minamoto Noraiyuki to me. The prestige of our Tokugawa family is indeed still the same."

When he said this, Tokugawa Iada was also full of pride.

But then he was interrupted by Tokugawa Yingxi with a cold snort, and said mockingly

"Do you think an elite and elite giant would be manipulated so casually? Superficial!"

After being poured cold water on Tokugawa Keki, Tokugawa Tatsuya calmed down a lot and became more honest.

"But I'm also wondering why they came here at this time. They should know that even if we don't side with Jiaren, we can't side with them."

Tokugawa Qingxi couldn't help but frown and think.

Even Jiaren was worried that the benefits he gave would shock the Tokugawa family. If he really went to Teruhito to provide help in times of need, what could he promise?

I, the Tokugawa family, are veteran dignitaries who have controlled the shogunate and held the power of the empire for many years!

But this can be understood after meeting them once...

…

On the other side, after being rejected by Genji, Jiaren also had a look of fury on his face after receiving a tip from his subordinates that Teruhi had taken Minamoto Raisetsu to visit the Tokugawa family.

"Huiren! Is this how you treat your brother?"

"What a belated rebellious period!"

At this moment, Zhongshan Ziyuan, as the captain of the personal guard, calmly reminded him:

"Your Highness, there is no need to be nervous. Even if the Tokugawa family does not support Your Highness, they will not support Hui Ren. Not to mention what benefits Hui Ren can give, it is a question whether the Tokugawa family dares to take the benefits he gives."

"His Majesty is still alive and well."

After hearing Zhongshan Ziyuan's reminder, Jiaren's face gradually relaxed, and then he said softly to Zhongshan Ziyuan

"Ziyuan can see it clearly. You are really a good wife of Gu. When Gu ascends the throne, I will accept you as my concubine."

"Indeed, the Tokugawa family doesn't have to worry too much. Even if they don't support me, they won't dare to support Teruhi!"

"Now I'm going to find Junior Brother Qingchuan, and we'll go together to visit Inoue Ieyasu and ask him to introduce the head of the Fujiwara family. Humph~, compared to the connections, that kid Teruhito is still far behind!"

Jiaren snorted coldly and told Zhongshan Ziyuan to take care of his family and went to find Junior Brother Qingchuan...

…

"Congratulations to Patriarch Xue for breaking through the shackles and reaching our level. Patriarch Xue has probably not passed the promotion task yet, right? If he completes the promotion task well and gets a high percentage of accumulated bonuses, he will probably be another pillar of our empire."

"I heard that His Highness Huiren has reached our level. Considering His Highness' age, he is truly a genius."

Although Tokugawa Yoshiki is a veteran and strong man, both in terms of seniority and identity, he personally gave a formal welcome to Minamoto Yoriyuki and Teruhito when they came to visit.

Strength is always first in line!

Moreover, Tokugawa Keiki obviously valued Minamoto Yoriyuki more than Teruhito.

Minamoto Yoriyuki tore Minamoto Yoriteru's seat off with her hands. This has been proved by actual combat. At least Tokugawa Yoshiki knows that ordinary elites can't kill Minamoto Yoriteru's slippery man!

As for His Highness Huiren, although there are rumors that he has broken through to the elite, after all, it has not been verified in actual combat.

Moreover, Tokugawa Qingxi's current status makes it difficult to give Teruhi good treatment to avoid misjudgments and misunderstandings.

Keeping a certain distance without being rude is the best way to get along.

Compared to the sophisticated Tokugawa Kei, Tokugawa Ketatsu, who looked at Minamoto Raisetsu with a bewildered expression next to him, was really far behind.

Seeing Tokugawa's joy, he couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Tokugawa Iatetsu was the successor appointed by Muruhito himself, and His Majesty is indeed very discerning.

"Senior Qingxi has given you too much praise. I come with His Highness this time because I have something to ask for."

Yuan Laixue smiled brightly, and then pulled out Huiren, who had a somewhat reluctant face.

"It's easy to talk, let's go in and talk. There's not even a cup of tea here. This is not the way my Tokugawa family treats guests."

Tokugawa Yoshiki also looked kind and smiling, interrupted what Minamoto Yoriyuki was about to say, and then greeted a few people to enter the guest house.

There are some things that you don't want to say openly and directly refuse. When the time comes, just talk to Xia Jiba for a while, and the pleasantries don't get into the topic. They will probably understand what you mean and retreat.

Our Tokugawa family can remain aloof and neutral, but we have the strength to remain neutral!

No one can make things difficult for us!
