In the autumn of the twenty-second year of astronomy, Mrs. Yuno of the Shinjin Pavilion poisoned the lord of the Shinjin Pavilion, Shintsu Mitsuyu. After that, Mrs. Yuno and the important retainer of the Shinzu family, Ryozo Doki, colluded with each other to force the retainers of the Shinzu family to recognize Shinjin Mitsuari's second son, Shinzu Yusada, as the head of the new Shintsukan.

However, the turmoil, which was later known to the world as the Shinjinkan Rebellion, did not subside, but became more and more intense. Among the retainers of the Shinjin family, there are still many people who have the glory of Shinjin in their hearts. Although they were forced to swear allegiance to Shintsu Yusada under the force of Tsuki Ryozo, as soon as these retainers broke away from Mrs. Yuno's control, they either immediately returned to their own territory or sent their own private soldiers into the house of Shiraji Shintsukan. All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the Shinjin Pavilion became tense.

However, these retainers are still restrained, and they are all looking forward to the return of Shinzu Mitsukuni and Doi Sajiro. However, Mrs. Yuno and her gang could only be indifferent to this, and they could only hope for the letter that Mrs. Yuno sent to Matsugami Castle. For a while, all the forces of the Shinjin Pavilion focused their attention on Matsugami Castle, and the choice of Matsugami Castle will also determine whether the rebellion of the Shinjin Pavilion can be subsided soon. ......

On the other side, Matsugami Castle.

Sajiro Doi had been in Matsugami Castle for a few days, and as soon as he arrived at Matsugami Castle, he asked Matsugami Yoshiyuki's small surname to see him. And yet somehow? Although Matsugami Castle was very attentive to Sajiro Doi's hospitality, they always delayed summoning him on the grounds that Matsugami Yoshimitsu was busy. Without Matsugami Yoshimitsu's summons, Sajiro Doi naturally couldn't bring Shintsu Mitsukuni back to Shintsukan. This made Sajiro Doi, who stayed in Matsugami Castle, very anxious and ran for this in many ways, after all, Shintsu Mitsu had a short life. At this time, Doi Sajiro naturally didn't know about the changes that happened in the Shinjin Pavilion, otherwise he would be even more anxious.

Thankfully, perhaps it was Sajiro Doi's multi-faceted campaign that had an effect. On this day, after waiting for many days at Matsugami Castle, Matsugami Yoshiyuki, who had not seen each other for a long time, finally decided to meet Doi Sajiro at the castle tower.

Matsugami Castle Tower.

Sajiro Doi, who was in a hurry, waited early in the castle tower for Matsugami Yoshiyuki's arrival. This time, Matsugami Yoshiyuki did not make Doi Sajiro wait long, and a moment later he also entered the castle tower, accompanied by several samurai.

After waiting for many days, he finally met Matsugami Yoshiyuki, and the joy in Doi's heart at this time was indescribable. He shouted with joy. "Meet His Highness Yoshimitsu at Shimodoi Sajiro." As he spoke, Sajiro Doi bowed down to Matsugami Yoshiyuki.

Matsugami Yoshiyuki said with a hint of apology after Sajiro Doi got up. "Doi-sama, the eagerness of your desire to meet the main hall is already known to the main hall. However, the temple is very busy with official business, so I cannot receive you right away. I'm really sorry for this hall, but I hope you don't mind. ”

"His Royal Highness Yiguang is serious, how dare you be, how dare you." Of course, Sajiro Doi will not and dare not have any opinions.

"That's good, that's good. In this way, the main hall will be relieved. Matsugami Yoshiyuki seemed relieved to hear Doi Sajiro's return, and then he asked again. Oh, that's right. I wonder what is going on with Doi-sama being so anxious to see the main hall? ”

Seeing that Matsugami Yoshiyuki finally got to the point, Sajiro Doi said immediately. "The birthday of the master of the main house, Lord Hikari, is approaching, and he misses Mitsukuni-sama in Matsugami Castle very much. In the next time, I hope that His Royal Highness Yoshiyuki can temporarily return to the Xinjin Pavilion to celebrate the birthday of the owner of the museum, and let the owner of the house taste the feelings of longing. Your Highness Yixing, please leave everything to you. ”

Of course, Doi Sajiro would not say that the purpose of his trip was to welcome back Shintsu Mitsukuni and return to Shintsukan to become the next head of the Shintsu family, otherwise Matsugami Yoshiyuki would never easily let Shintsu Kokuni return to Shintsukan. Nowadays, although it is in the troubled times of the Warring States, it is also the norm for fathers and sons and brothers to kill each other. But filial piety is still highly respected in the world, and Doi Sajiro uses birthday celebrations as a reason to make it easier to achieve the purpose of this trip.

However, Matsugami Yoshiyuki does not seem to agree with Sajiro Doi's statement. Although he didn't know the real reason why Sajiro Doi was in a hurry to welcome back Shinzu Mitsukuni, with his years of experience, Matsugami Yoshiyuki still sensed that Sajiro Doi was lying.

"It's naïve to try to deceive me in this way." Matsugami sneered in his heart, and then pretended to be embarrassed. "It stands to reason that this hall should fulfill the father-son relationship between His Highness and His Highness, but ...... This ......"

Matsugami Yoshiyuki swallowed and spat as he spoke, and his refusal was revealed. One of Matsugami Yoshiyuki's retainers sensed what he meant, and quickly stood up and reprimanded Doi Sajiro. "Bastard, the Shinjin family was besieged by the Katayama family and the Umedo family that day, and if it weren't for the family sending troops to help, the family name would be cut off in front of you. The Shintsu family took his eldest son, His Royal Highness Guangguo, hostage in the family, and also to thank the family for their kindness. Today, the Xinjin family wants to welcome back His Royal Highness Guangguo, where does such an unrighteous act put the family? Does the Shintsu family look down on my Matsugami family? ”

"This ...... This one...... This family has no such intentions, please be aware of His Royal Highness. Doi Sajiro didn't expect the retainers of the Matsugami family to be so radical, and his face suddenly changed greatly. Now at this time, it would not be good for the Matsugami family to misunderstand, and he hurriedly explained to Matsugami Yoshiyuki.

Matsugami Yoshiyuki was very satisfied that his retainers could understand what he meant, but he still pretended to be angry. "Hyogoro, don't be rude. The main family and the Shintsu family are in-laws, and the main temple believes that the Shintsu family will never do unrighteous things. ”

"Haha." When Hyogoro saw Matsugami Yoshiyuki stop him, he hurriedly kept silent.

Matsugami Yoshiyuki then comforted Doi Sajiro again. "Don't worry about it, Lord Doi will punish him for Hyogoro's rude behavior."

"How dare you, how dare you. Lord Hyogoro is also loyal to the Matsugami family, so don't blame His Highness Yoshiyuki. "Doi Sajiro has asked Matsugami Yoshiyuki at this time, and he won't believe that Matsugami Yoshiyuki will really punish that Hyogoro. It's okay to be a favor.

"Hahahaha, Doi-sama is really a big-hearted person. Hyogoro hasn't thanked Doi-sama yet. Sure enough, Matsugami Yoshiyuki was very satisfied with Doi Sajiro taking the initiative to intercede for Hyogoro. Although he didn't really punish Hyogoro, he was still very happy about Doi Sajiro's knowledge.

As for Binggoro, after getting the lord's order, he had to say unwillingly. "Doi-sama, I beg your pardon for being rude."

"How dare you, how dare you." Sajiro Doi hurriedly replied. At this time, he saw that Matsugami Yoshiyuki was in a good mood, and took the opportunity to remind.

"Your Highness Yixing, I don't know what you want about the matter of returning to the young master of this family."

"This ...... Doi-sama is really sorry, but the main hall will have to discuss this matter with his retainers before making a decision. In the end, Matsugami Yoshiyuki did not agree to Doi Sajiro's request.

Sajiro Doi was anxious when he saw Matsugami Yoshiyuki's deliberate delay, knowing that Shinjin Mitsu had no days to wait. He hurriedly pleaded again. "Your Highness, please consider it. The owner of this family is really thoughtful. ”

"Rude. If Doi-sama is not willing to wait, the main hall can be said about this without mentioning. Matsugami Yoshiyuki saw that Sajiro Doi was so anxious, and he didn't want to be released back to Shintsu Mitsukoku.

"His Royal Highness Yixing is angry, and he will retire in the next place. Please be sure to consider this matter, and the Xinjin family is grateful. Seeing that he had annoyed Matsugami Yoshiyuki, Sajiro Doi hurriedly excused himself and retired, and now he really can't act rashly at this moment.

Soon, Sajiro Doi left with heavy steps and full of sorrow. ......
