Matsugami Castle Assessment Room.

Matsugami Yoshiyuki waited for Sajiro Doi to leave, and then instructed the retainers on the left and right. "Hyogoro, you guys should step down too. The main hall should be quiet and think carefully about what Sajiro Doi asked. ”

"Haha." Hyogoro and the others retreated.

After a moment, Matsugami Yoshiyuki spoke again. "Yoshinobu, tell me what you think about this."

"Haha." Matsugami Yoshinobu replied as he opened the door to another compartment in the castle tower.

It turned out that Matsugami Yoshinobu had cultivated Matsugami Yoshinobu and deliberately asked him to hide in the compartment of the castle tower to listen to the government, and calling him out at this time was both to test his political ability and to listen to his opinions. This matter of listening to the government was also arranged by Matsugami Yoshinobu after he had an heir, and at this time he walked in with excitement on his face when he saw his father asking for his opinion.

As soon as he sat down in front of Matsugami Yoshiyuki, Matsugami Yoshinobu couldn't wait and said with respect. "Father, although Yoshinobu doesn't know why Sajiro Doi is so eager to return to the Shinjin Pavilion with Shintsu Kokoku, I think there must be something wrong with the Shintsu Pavilion that makes him have to do this. Yoshinobu thought that at this moment, it was really not appropriate for the family to return to Shinzu Kokoku, and even if he had to be released back to the Shintsukan family, he had to find out why Sajiro Doi did this first. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, what you said is good." After listening to Matsugami Yoshinobu's analysis, Matsugami praised him loudly, and then said with a smile. "Yixin, this hall will not hide it from you now. In fact, until you expressed your opinion on Sajiro Doi's request for the family's return, Hongdian was worried that you would affect your judgment because of Yui. But you didn't disappoint the temple in the end. Although your judgment can only be regarded as decent, I am very satisfied that you can dismiss Yui's influence on you and remember your responsibilities as the young master of the Matsugami family. ”

Matsugami Yoshiyuki said this, deliberately paused for a moment, and then continued. "Righteousness, you have to remember. In the troubled times of the Warring States, even fathers and sons, brothers will draw swords against each other, let alone between in-laws? It is very likely that today's in-laws will stay until tomorrow, no, they will definitely become enemies of life and death. This is the sorrow of being in the troubled times of the Warring States, and this is the consciousness that a son of a samurai family should have. ”

In the past, Matsugami Yoshiyuki would not have said these words to Matsugami Yoshinobu, but recently, Matsugami Yoshiyuki has gradually felt weak, and he has begun to vigorously cultivate his own heir. That's what I said today.

"Haha, I will definitely live up to my father's expectations." Matsugami Yoshinobu didn't expect his father to have such deep expectations for him, and immediately said excitedly.

"That's good, that's good." Seeing that his son realized his intentions, he was even happier when he loosened his righteous deeds.

"Father, what do you think about this?" Matsugami Yoshinobu took advantage of Matsukami's happiness and asked him what he thought of what Sajiro Doi had requested.

Matsugami Yoshiyuki said with a deep groan. "Although Shinjin Guangguo is the son-in-law of Shinjin Guangyou, he has always been quite famous among his retainers. However, as long as there is Shinjin Guang, it doesn't really matter whether Shinjin Guangguo is in Xinjin Hall or not. Now that Shinjin Mitsu has sent the old Doi Sajiro to come in person to welcome back Shinjin Mitsu Province, this matter is really a bit abnormal. If the main hall is not bad, it may be that there is something wrong with Shinjin Guangyou's body, and he is eager to welcome back Shinjin Guangguo. Of course, it is also possible that what Sajiro Doi said is true, and it is really Shinjin Mitsu who misses Shinjin Mitsu Kuni. After all, Xinjin Guangyou is now in the age of aging. ”

"Father, how should the family deal with this? You can't put it off forever. Matsugami Yoshiyuki thought about it, and he really didn't know how to choose now, and finally he sighed and said helplessly.

"I can only act on the opportunity."

At this time, a ashigaru report outside the castle tower. "Your Royal Highness, Mrs. Yuno of the Xinjin Pavilion sent a letter." It turned out that the messenger sent by Madame Yuno also arrived at this time.

Matsugami Yoshiyuki was a little stunned at first when he heard Ashigaru's report, because he really didn't have any friendship with Mrs. Yuno. Then, as if sensing something, he quickly smiled and said to Yoshinobu Matsugami. "It seems that we will soon find out what is going on at the Shinjin Pavilion. Righteous faith, quick, go and get the letter. ”

"Yes, Father." Matsugami Yoshinobu was also curious about this, so he quickly got up and walked to the door of the castle tower to receive the letter from Mrs. Yuno from the messenger. Then, without looking, he immediately returned and handed the letter into the hands of Matsugami Yoshiyuki.

Matsugami Yoshiyuki didn't say a word, so he spread out Mrs. Yuno's letter and read it, only to see that it was written. ：

His Royal Highness Matsugami Yamato Mori Yoshiyuki respectfully

A month ago, I heard that the daughter of the family, Yuihime, gave birth to the Lin'er of the Matsugami family to continue Xinjin, and the bloodline of the Matsugami family, Yuno was overjoyed. However, I hated that Songshangcheng was far away and could not visit in person, so I could only send letters to express my concern.

In addition, there is a matter of mourning to inform His Highness Yoshiyuki that Yuno's husband, the lord of the Shinjin Pavilion, Mitsu Mitsu, has passed away from his injuries a few days ago. Fortunately, Yui's brother, His Royal Highness Arisada, has succeeded to the position of head of the family with the support of loyal retainers, but there are some unscrupulous people who are trying to collude with His Highness Guangguo, who is hostage to Matsugami Castle, to seize power. It's hateful to think about.

After all, Youzhen is still young, and now the Xinjin Pavilion is in constant distress and is in danger of overturning. I specially wrote a letter today, hoping that His Royal Highness Yoshiyuki would be able to get rid of His Royal Highness Guangguo in Matsugami Castle with the help of traitors. If Yixing can lead troops to help his family quell the rebellion, it would be even more grateful. In this way, the Shintsu family will surely be the strong backing of the Matsugami family for generations.

Respectfully.

After reading the letter sent by Mrs. Yuno, Matsugami Yoshiyuki handed it to Matsugami Yoshinobu who was waiting next to him, and then sighed and said. "It seems that the main hall really underestimated this Mrs. Yuno."

Matsugami Yoshinobu was a little unclear about what Matsugami Yoshimitsu suddenly said, so he asked tentatively after reading the letter in his hand quickly. "Father's meaning is Mrs. Yuno and she ......" Matsugami Yoshinobu said a little afraid to say it, after all, Mrs. Yuno was his mother-in-law.

Matsugami Yoshiyuki continued his words. "That's right, there is definitely something wrong with Shinjin Yuzhen's succession to the head of the family. Shinjin Mitsu's death was also a bit sudden. ”

"Hiss~~" Matsugami Yoshinobu took a deep breath and his face turned a little pale, he didn't expect Mrs. Yuno to be so vicious. After a pause, he asked again. "So, father, what is the family going to do? Are we going to refuse Mrs. Yuno's request? After all, killing hostages for no reason is really against the morality of the martial arts. ”

Matsugami Yoshiyuki glanced at his son and said categorically. "No, the main hall has decided to execute Shintsu Mitsukoku at the request of Mrs. Yuno. And immediately sent troops to the Shinjin Pavilion to help Mrs. Yuno. ”

"I'm afraid this will make the family lose its righteousness, father." Matsugami Yoshinobu said anxiously after listening to Matsugami Yoshiyuki's decision.

"Hahahaha." In this regard, Matsugami Yoshiyuki laughed a few times and said meaningfully. "Yoshinobu, don't you think that the Shinjin Pavilion is much better than the family's home city, Matsugami Castle?" ......
