"You simply don't want the Kansei Magistrate and the Tenryo Magistrate to stand together, causing the balance of power among the three parties to the point that it threatens the position of the Shabu Magistrate."
"—You've just found a plausible excuse to break up our marriage alliance!"
This is indeed the problem that most readers believe it to be, and it's also why Ayato's identity makes it difficult to intervene.
Matsuura has already instructed his subordinates to publicize the marriage between the two families. If Ayato causes trouble at this time, he will indeed become the 'bad guy, villain'.
After all, the power of discourse is now in the hands of the other side, thanks to the power of journalism.
[Ayato sighed helplessly: "I originally thought you were smarter than the average person, but now it seems I was completely wrong."]
Matsuura angrily exclaimed, "Kamisato Ayato, you...! How could you!"
Matsuura was also surprised that Ayato would still dare to mock him even after things had come to this.
He was about to become regent and be appointed as the chief administrator, yet they showed him absolutely no respect!
Ayato laughed and said, "Do you really believe that marriage will put the Kanjo Magistrate and the Tenryō Magistrate on the same side?"
Is it possible that the one who gets isolated is actually the one who is appointed to oversee the investigation?
After saying that, Ayato ignored the angry Matsuura and turned to leave.
Matsuura was so angry that his chest ached, but he was helpless against Ayato and could only wait until he won the position of Kansei-gyō (Minister of Investigation and Appointment) before making any further moves.
At this point, Ayato only had a plan and no actual arrangements, but his words planted a seed of doubt in Matsuura, which made it easier for Ayato to carry out his plans later.
The argument between the two can be roughly translated as follows:
Ayato: 'I originally thought that as a senior retainer of Inazuma, you would surely have some profound insights when you came here facing the two magistrates, but I never expected you to utter such vulgar words!'
'At this time of family hardship, what has the Matsuura family done? I am well aware of the Matsuura family's life.'
'Your family has lived in Inazuma for generations, and you have just entered officialdom. Your duty is to assist the ruler and support the nation, bringing peace and prosperity to Inazuma. How could you have imagined that you would commit such a rebellious act, conspiring to usurp the throne! Your crimes are heinous and unforgivable!'
Matsuura: 'You... Ayato Kamisato, how dare you!'
Ayato: 'Shut up! You shameless old thief! Don't you know that everyone in the world would love to devour your flesh alive! How dare you utter such nonsense here!'
'You white-haired scoundrel! You old, bearded thief! You are about to meet your end in the netherworld. What face will you have then to face the officials of the twenty-fourth generation?!'
'He has never accomplished anything in his life, only knew how to talk big.'
'I have never seen such a shameless person!!!'
Chapter 427 Ayato's Plan
Matsuura's plan was to "make the fake into the real." Although the proposal and marriage were fake, as long as the publicity was strong enough, the fake would become real.
Whether you two are actually married or not is no longer important, because everyone assumes you are.
You have to understand that the Hiiragi family and the Kujo family are prestigious families that value their reputation. It would be too embarrassing for them to post a notice of marriage alliance and then turn around and say they're not going to do it.
This is a classic case of 'what's done is done,' and Ayato cannot disrupt the relationship.
So Ayato's plan is to turn the tables on you; I won't ruin your marriage, I'll even support it.
However, this requires the help of Kujo Kamaji.
Ultimately, the problem lies in the fact that Hiiragi Chisato is not capable enough. Wouldn't it be better if she just made others think she was very 'capable'?
The best solution is to make the other families under the Kanjō-gyō (a government-mandated organization) realize the importance of Hiiragi Senri.
They need to know that without Hiiragi Senri, they would be doomed too. Isn't that a power that only Hiiragi Senri possesses?
Even if Hiiragi Senri wants to get married, these aristocratic families will have to consider how to maintain Hiiragi Senri's status as the head of the family while completing the marriage alliance.
Back then, you could live together and have children; you could just make up any excuse to get by, as long as you didn't get married, anything was fine.
If they insist on getting married, it will cause headaches for their small family.
Currently, Hiiragi Senri lacks 'real power,' and Ayato is considering how to help Hiiragi Senri regain 'real power.'
As the head of the family and the magistrate of the shaman, Ayato couldn't get too involved, so he thought of Kujo Kamaji, who was one of the parties involved.
It has to be said that Ayato's plan was perfect. Not only could it protect Hiiragi Chisato, but it could also further deepen the relationship between the two.
Originally, the enemy could have said that Ayato was the 'culprit' who ruined the marriage between the two, putting Kujo and Kamisato on the opposite side.
But by doing this, Ayato ended up becoming their benefactor, killing two birds with one stone.
At this point, the readers hadn't yet realized how amazing Ayato was; they were more impressed by how handsome he was.
After the others in the story told Kujo Kamaji about the situation, Kujo Kamaji still did not realize the seriousness of the matter because he believed that he could protect Hiiragi Senri.
[Ayato Kamisato said gently, "I understand your feelings, but if I may be frank, she could have done without your protection."]
"In other words, if even you subconsciously believe that Ms. Hiiragi needs your protection to get through this predicament, does that mean she has already lost something?"
This sentence silenced many readers. Yes, everyone subconsciously believed that with Kujo Kamaji, the magistrate of the territories, he could protect Hiiragi Senri.
But it was only then that she realized that Hiiragi Senri didn't need Kujo Kamaji's protection; she could have been independent instead of relying on him.
If it weren't for Kujo Kamaji and those smaller families, they wouldn't have been able to find such a reasonable way to drive away Hiiragi Senri, and Hiiragi Senri would have had plenty of time to slowly consolidate and establish the Kansei.
Kujo Kamaji can protect Hiiragi Senri, but he cannot protect the Hiiragi family that Hiiragi Senri wants to protect. In the end, dependence will make people lose something.
Ayato Kamisato said, "I'm not being harsh on you; wanting to protect someone important is only natural."
"I know you are so intelligent and gentle; if it weren't for your concern causing you to lose your composure, you could certainly have thought things through more thoroughly."
"The Hiiragi-san you admire is independent, gentle yet strong, and full of determination, isn't she?"
He has such high emotional intelligence; his words were both respectful to Hiiragi Senri and considerate of Kujo Kamaji. Now, besides his handsome appearance, I like his inner qualities even more.
Ayato has a thorough understanding and genuinely respects others.
Moreover, he's not just good at talking, he's also very smart, and you don't have to worry about anything when handling things.
Ying: 'I trust you to handle things.'
As for Ayato's solution, it was what he had previously told that 'Wang Lang': marriage would not bring the Tenryo Magistrate and the Kansei Magistrate together.
This requires the Heavenly Commanders to play the 'bad guys,' to make them the 'bad guys' who want to devour the Commanders.
If we marry Hiiragi Senri, then in terms of 'law and reason' the Tenryo Magistrate will have an excuse to take down the Hiiragi family and the Kansei Magistrate.
Of course, legal principles alone are useless; there are still people in power.
Fortunately, Lei Yingdong has never cared about party and government politics, because none of them can withstand her stab.
Shadow: 'Hmph, political infighting, how boring.' 'My sister is Raiden Shin.'
After returning, Ying became even less interested in this matter, and even considered abdicating the throne.
Unfortunately, while her sister could manage political affairs, she couldn't manage the divine position, so Zhen forced Ying to handle the affairs of state every day, teaching her how to do it.
To make her sister happy, Ying didn't refuse, but even after being taught for so long, she hadn't made much progress, since she wasn't paying attention.
The current situation is this: when in doubt about external matters, consult the divine son; when in doubt about internal matters, consult the elder sister.
Zhongli has Ningguang, and I have Lingren, so there is nothing to worry about.
It is precisely because of Kage's indifference to factional strife that Inazuma's overthrow of his superiors has become so common; whoever has the ability rises to the top.
What Ayato needs to do now is to get the 'more capable' Tenryo Magistrate to 'swallow' the Kansei Magistrate.
Of course, it doesn't mean that if they swallowed everything, Inazuma Sanbugyo would become two; that would be going too far, and the people wouldn't agree, let alone the divine child.
It was just a matter of letting people from within the Heavenly Territory manage the Survey Office, but even so, those small families not only wouldn't benefit, but would also be dismissed.
Hiiragi Chisato went from being a "burden to be sent away as soon as possible" to an "indispensable protective umbrella".
This is a plan that everyone who sees it will say is 'a great plan'.
The balance of power shifted instantly, and no major moves were made. The only downside was that the 'rivers of blood' that the traveler was looking forward to wouldn't be seen.
Those smaller families won't be punished, but they'll be given leverage, making them easier to control after a combination of kindness and coercion.
Xin Hai nodded silently. The outcome was already decided. That man named Matsuura probably couldn't even figure out where he had lost.
Ayato: There's only one reason you failed, and that's because you angered me.
Although Ayato remains calm throughout the story, he is still capable of anger.
Even setting aside the open and covert struggles among the officials, he simply couldn't accept the idea of using marriage, something his mother had taught him.
They should pursue the life they desire and not be restricted, especially by such 'boring' things.
It's just a 'boring' political game; even if the other side makes the first move, they can't beat Ayato.
Ayato didn't even have to do anything; the entire time, only one member of the final episode was used.
Just practice cooking more.

Character Voice Lines - Heart's Desire: About Ayato
"The second fox of the shogunate, the god is not good at scheming, but his subordinates make up for it."
Lin Qiu translated: She said that the mind in Lei's movies is relatively relaxed, but Shinko and Ayato make up for this very well.
Chapter 428 Thunder Movie Enlightenment
"Great plan!" Raiden nodded repeatedly. Ayato Kamisato's abilities were so strong that others would definitely want to kidnap him.
Fortunately, the Kamisato family can't be lured away by Inazuma, so let's give them some benefits.
Well, I'll take extra care of the little princess from the Kamisato family.
I've seen Ayaka many times in informal settings; she's such a cute little sister.
Looking at Ying next to her, she was still eating her tricolor dumplings, completely unaware of anything.
Seeing this, he snatched the tricolor dumpling from Ying, thinking, "It seems my political acumen isn't sharp enough."
Lei Movie: "???"
Lei was puzzled, but dared not resist.
Political foresight? Is it necessary? Can it withstand my lightning strikes?
Can lightning really flash from my eyes? Can they also emit light from their eyes?
They couldn't withstand one of my blows, so what makes them think they can resist me?
It was because of this idea that Ying was fooled by her subordinates before.
In politics, the shadow is nothing more than a mascot, with no real function.
Those subordinates didn't have the guts to rebel, but they were very bold in using the guise of rebellion to make money!
Anyway, the general is just a mascot. Just be respectful to her and don't be a brat and poke her, or she won't be able to react.
The story that follows in the book is already clear, and since no one on the Kansei Magistrate's side has a plan to deal with Ayato, the ending is already predetermined.
I might as well not watch it anymore and just start reading the family precepts. I'll watch it after I finish reading the family precepts.
And the story unfolded exactly as Shin had guessed: Ayato used some tricks to get his subordinates to act, easily deceiving Matsuura's spies.
Matsuura's informants will report what they see to Matsuura, and now Ayato's side has become the one who's really making a scene.
The same tactic was used: to "publicize" the marriage. Matsuura publicized the marriage, while Ayato publicized how eager the Kujo family was to get married.
Adding to the 'seeds of doubt' that Ayato had planted in Matsuura through his words, Matsuura couldn't help but wonder why the Kujo family was in such a hurry to get married.
In this way, Ayato's plan to turn the tables on Matsuura was successful. The key to this plan was actually a seemingly insignificant remark made by Ayato during his conversation with Matsuura.
Is it possible that the one who will be isolated is actually the one designated as the magistrate?
Matsuura wouldn't have thought much of it if he hadn't heard those words. In his mind, the marriage between the two families was a form of cooperation, but Ayato's words gave him another perspective.
This statement is very useful for people like Matsuura who consider themselves smart, because he can think, but he can't think very deeply.
Ayato brings seeds of doubt, which are then nurtured by rumors.
As expected of a driver from the Seed Gate, his skill in burying seeds is truly top-notch!
However, this strategy was useless against Ichito, because he didn't even consider what Ayato was saying.
