The city is lit up with bright lights.

Nao Nagano got off the subway, got on the car and went to the old family house. With the help of the butler, he strode to the main courtyard.

A young man in his thirties was kneeling in the main hall. He was Nagano Nao's succession rival, Kenta Nakamura. Behind the screen, several people could be vaguely seen busy with something.

The new father is no longer able to do so.

This cheap father, who was originally his cheap grandfather, was already over a hundred years old. Just after he separated from Sakurako Ikeda in the afternoon, Nagano Nao received the news that he was critically ill.

In heart.

Of course I am very happy.

As long as the old guy dies, with his current connections and status as the direct heir, the probability of him becoming the head of the family is very high.

But at this time, you still need to show some grief to add points.

Endure full of expectations.

We can only declare the old guy dead inside.

Nagano Naoya knelt down like Kenta Nakamura and glanced at this cheap brother.

Are you back?

Are you here too?

The old guy probably can’t hold on this time!

I hope so! Then, the world will be ours.

What great news! But I am not interested in politics, so please support me.

They looked at each other for a while.

In just a moment, a gentleman's agreement was reached.

But at this moment.

An old cough came from behind the screen, followed by an asthma-like wheezing sound.

gradually.

The breathing behind the screen calmed down.

Seeing the doctor coming out, Nagano Nao and Nakamura Kenta quickly stood up to greet him, and asked with great concern: "Master Jiyuan, how is father?!"

"It's not a good situation. After all, I'm already this age, so."

that is.

Are they going to die this time? The two were delighted in their hearts, but they were very honest. They showed grief on their faces and pleaded together, "Master Jiyuan, you must think of a way!"

“Please!”

"At the age of 106, it is already remarkable that Lord Nakamura has managed to hold on. But his Qi and blood are declining, and his internal organs are also degenerating. We have done our best!"

Wow.

That means it’s done! Great!

Nagano Nao immediately interrupted and said, "Even so, with Master Jiyuan's ability, you must be able to find other ways!"

"I can only use acupuncture to stimulate Mr. Nakamura's qi and blood to temporarily stabilize the situation, but this stimulation can only delay his recovery by two years at most, so."

So! This old bastard can live another two years? ? !

This is where the grass starts to grow.

Jiyuan left.

Nao Nagano and Kenta Nakamura both saw the disappointment of the opponent.

However, the uncles and aunts of the previous generation were still present, and it was not appropriate to show it at this time, so he could only follow everyone into the main house.

The old man, who was over a hundred years old, was about to die, and there was a strange smell of decay on his body.

This fellow, a veteran who had lived through three dynasties, had a body as dry as a branch, with silver needles sticking out of his head and his skinny body.

His face was unusually red.

But his eyes were still clear and it looked like he wouldn't die for a while.

Hypocritically playing the role of a filial son, Nagano Nao kept calling "father" and his heavy face made people feel his filial piety.

It's just that the family system is there, and everyone knows what everyone else is thinking, but they can't express it, which makes for a very touching story of a loving father and a filial son.

Half an hour later.

The old man knew that he didn't have much time left, so he determined the identities of the middle-aged and young generation heirs to the new generation of direct descendants.

For such a major event, ceremony is inevitable.

Priests from Atsuta Shrine were invited to perform the ceremony. It was solemn and pious. They wore ancient clothes and the whole ceremony was like a palace drama.

Play your own role.

As the direct heir, Naoio Nagano kowtowed to Amaterasu, Guanyin Bodhisattva, and all his ancestors with a serious and solemn expression.

But when it came to the coronation, listening to the priest chanting, I suddenly felt like laughing.

Women were not allowed to attend the entire ceremony.

Wait until the busyness subsides.

Nagano Nao couldn't wait to take off the hat weighing more than a pound on his head and took off more than ten layers of clothes weighing more than ten kilograms.

"Your Highness, please move to the Imperial Hand Pond."

Coming again?

In desperation.

Nagano Nao had no choice but to put on the damn suit again, went to the Mitemike Pond, pretended to wash up, and came to the main shrine.

"I know!"

"Lord Iseya is a very powerful geomancy master. He has the mysterious ability to change fortunes through the power of magic. He can be compared with the strongest secretary master of the Jiujiu School. So."

"Is it really that amazing?"

"Your Highness may not know that Emperor Meiji moved the capital to Edo in order to weaken Kyoto's luck and set up barriers and formations. The increase in our Nagoya's luck now surpasses Osaka's, and it is also because the Shrine borrowed the luck of heaven and earth to condense the luck."

“.”

I didn't take these mysterious things seriously.

But seeing how serious the old butler was, and thinking about the very peculiar location of the family house, Nagano Nao suddenly felt a little confused.

Could it be that Ikeda and the others were serious? Another moment passed.

Nao Nagano came to the Jingu Taisha Shrine and met the so-called Iseya Great Priest.

He has an ordinary appearance and is very kind. He looks like just an ordinary old man.

After a ritual kneeling and a bunch of incomprehensible nonsense, Nagano Nao was arranged to sit in silence in the secret room in the inner courtyard of the shrine to pray for the family clan.

A simple secret room.

Candlelight.

Apart from a pile of books on the wooden bookshelf, there was nothing modern to be seen.

He pretended to pray for a while.

Nagano Nao stood up, picked up a book at random and started reading.

These are some records of Takashima Dan'yi's life.

It is about self-cultivation, family management, governance of the country, peace in the world, international relations, war, business, governing the country and being an official, weddings and funerals, etc.

They're all little stories and stuff.

These can be viewed for fun, but as he watched, Nagano Nao gradually frowned.

This person, Takashima, was originally named Takashima Yoshiemon.

Born in the same era as Fukuzawa.

Both of them followed the path of Confucian culture, but Fukuzawa later criticized Confucianism and turned to Dutch studies, opened universities, reformed the economy, criticized the official-centered thinking, and advocated that value creation and value production must be respected. He led Japan to abandon the official-centered thinking and become an industrial power and was called a modern saint.

Takashima took a different path. He switched from being a foreign exchange trader to studying the I Ching. One day, he had an epiphany in prison. Because of his divination ability that ordinary people could not understand, he attracted the attention of Emperor Meiji, who made a rule that one must understand the I Ching before entering the cabinet.

He believes that the so-called I Ching divination is not something that can be thought about or understood by psychology or physical phenomena.

It is a ritual of communication between the diviner and the gods purely through induction.

The book believes that everyone is born with a spirit, that is, his or her own divine perception, intuition, feeling, and six senses. Only by eliminating delusions, calming the mind and being free from worries, and understanding the way of utmost sincerity and restlessness, can one become a god.

To these.

Nagano Nao was not interested.

However, the book records a plan to swallow an elephant, which involves a metaphysical story that only exists in novels and is quite interesting.

During the Russo-Japanese War.

With Fukuzawa Yukichi leading the economic strategy and Takashima Yoshiemon leading the magic, a Feng Shui and fortune-telling plan of swallowing elephants was implemented in Korea.

A prime minister was sacrificed and feng shui layout was used to cut off North Korea’s century-long national destiny.

Afterwards, Gao Dao changed his name to Gao Dao Tun Xiang and sacrificed himself. The Jiu Ju sect used the magic book to launch a Feng Shui struggle to change the country's destiny with the Tun Xiang plan.

What the hell. Have I run into a fantasy world? ! ! ! Nagano shook his head secretly.

The magic of this world seems to be even more magical than novels!

Stayed for two days.

The mysterious ceremony was completed.

Finally getting rid of this vulgar feudalism, Nagano Nao rushed back to Kyoto as soon as possible.

"Lord Nagano!"

It's working hours.

As I reached the entrance of the building, a young man suddenly knelt down in front of me.

Nagano frowned slightly: "Who are you?!"

"I'm Yuji Koike, an employee of the Shiga Prefecture Sales Department. I recently discovered that there are serious problems with a large number of accounts in the company's books."

“.”

Koike Yuji is a very passionate young man.

Like most people of this age group, he accidentally discovered various problems with the company's accounts, so he reported the incidents to the company's inspection department out of a sense of justice.

However, even though they had a lot of evidence, the inspection department not only did not investigate these issues, but instead locked him up and asked him a lot of strange questions.

He was asked about his starting time.

Whether the relationship with colleagues is harmonious.

He was also asked whether he had any dissatisfaction with his work and whether he had any misunderstandings about his boss.

Seeing this attitude, Koike was no fool. He immediately realized that these bastards were in collusion with each other and had to report the matter to the Financial Supervisory Bureau of the Ministry of Finance.

I thought that the Ministry of Finance, as a senior management, would definitely get to the bottom of the matter, but I never expected that he would be beaten up right after coming out of the Financial Regulatory Bureau.

In desperation.

Koike could only go to the newspaper, hoping that the newspaper would report the incident.

Then Xiaochi was detained in the police station's detention room for 24 hours and has only just been released.
