Chapter 159: Shin Zhen seppuku
Nobusada Nishiki finally committed suicide by seppuku.
His body was found by his wife, Hanako, in the side room of his residence the morning of the second day, and he still had a smile on his face when he found his body as he wished. Although no one in Miki Castle forced Nobusada to do so, the samurai, who was loyal to the Nishiki family, finally decided to use his own death to save the Nishiki family, which was about to be destroyed.
Throughout the short life of Nobutaha Nishiki, he was tragic and lucky, when he was a child, his father died to rescue the Lord Shinji Nishiki, and the Oki family was in danger of decay. But soon after, he was personally raised by Shinji Nishiki, who was grateful for his loyalty, and after the Yuan service, Shinji Hitoki recruited him as his son-in-law and adopted son to inherit the family business of the Nishiki family. Therefore, although Nobusada's father died to rescue Shinji Nishiki, he has no resentment towards the Nishiki family, and the head of the family gives the retainer a reward for death, which is the norm among samurai.
Shinji Nishiki has no responsibility for Shinsada Nishiki, but he still raised him as an adult, so Shinji Renki is naturally loyal to the Nishiki family. As a result, although Shinji Nishiki did not give up on himself under the persecution of the Ohno family, Shinsada Hitoki still chose to commit suicide by seppuku.
Nobusada Nishiki understands that the current Nishiki family cannot compete with the Ohno clan, so instead of finally destroying the entire Nishiki, it is better to save the Nishiki clan with his life? In this way, the Nishiki family, Hanako, and the last child born in her womb can be saved! So Nobusada Nishiki committed suicide by seppuku with a smile on his face.
Miki Castle Imperial Hall.
"Xinzhen, Xinzhen." At this time, Shinji Nishiki was rushing from his residence to Nobutahada's residence.
When Shinji Hitoki learned of Nobusada's death while eating breakfast, he immediately dropped the rice bowl in his hand and hurried to Nobutahada's residence. Shinji Nishiki had always been very fond of this son-in-law, so their residences were only a dozen towns apart, so soon Shinji Nishiki saw the body of his son-in-law and his weeping daughter.
"Idiot, this idiot!" Immediately, Shinji Hitoki scolded the dead Shinsada, in order to hide the grief in his heart.
Hanako, who was crying bitterly, understood the grief in her father's heart, and when she saw her father scolding her dead husband, she hurriedly endured her grief and persuaded: "Father, don't force your heart to grief like this. You also know Xinzhen's heart and love for your daughter, and I'm afraid that Your Highness Xinzhen will also feel uneasy!"
"This kid~~~, this kid~~~." Shinji Hitoki said in a mournful voice: "Shinzhen, the child's father died to save the old man in the past, and the old man thanked his father for his loyalty and took him to his side to raise him personally since he was a child. The old man has no children, so although Xinzhen is the old man's adopted son, he is actually no different from the old man's own son. The old man has always had high hopes for him, hoping that he can magnify my Renmu family, and I don't want him to be ...... today But he died for my Renmu family. The old man is sorry for the dead big wooden hall!"
"His Royal Highness Nobuzhen~~~" Hanako on the side cried more and more when she saw her father so sad. ......
After a while, there was a sudden report from a small surname outside the door: "Lord Qiqi, Lord Muzo Masada came to ask to see him after learning of the death of His Royal Highness Nobuzhen." ”
It turned out that it was Kizo Masataka, who learned that Renki Nobutaha had died quickly, and later came to visit Renmu Shinji. "Father."
The grief-stricken Hanako actually understands that the Renki family is now at a critical juncture, and she understands even more about what her husband Renki Nobusada committed suicide for. So she endured the grief in her heart and reminded Shinji Hitoki to meet Kizo Masatada, after all, her husband couldn't die in vain.
Renmu Shinji naturally understood the intention of Kizo Masadada's coming and the intention of his daughter and son-in-law, and when he saw his daughter reminding him, he said firmly: "Hanako, the old man understands the heart of Shinzhen, you can rest assured that the old man will not let him sacrifice in vain." ”
After saying that, Renmu Shinji got up and walked beside him and instructed the little surname waiting outside the door: "Tell Kizo Masada to let him wait in the assessment room, and the main hall will arrive later." ”
"Haha." ......
Miki Castle assessment room.
Shinji Renmu looked at the wooden masadashi in front of him, still with a trace of sadness, and said, "Masada, you must have known the news of Shinsada's seppuku. ”
"The lord's day mourns, His Royal Highness Shinzhen begged for benevolence and benevolence, and died for the sake of the Renmu family, which is a model for my generation of samurai to learn. What we need to do now is to protect the Renmu family, so that we can not compromise His Highness Nobuzhen's loyalty. Seeing that Renmu Shinji was grief-stricken, Muzo Masataka hurriedly comforted him.
Early this morning, as soon as Kizo Masatuda heard that Nobutaha was dying quickly, he hurried to visit Shinji Renmu, and he knew that the Renki family was finally saved. As for whether Nobusada Nishiki volunteered to seppuku or was forced to seppuku? Kizo Masadada had doubts about this, but he didn't care at all, after all, in his opinion, it was only right for Renki Nobutada, who was deeply favored by the lord, to die for the lord's family. As soon as he learned of Nobusada's death, he was saddened and began to try to maximize the benefits of the matter. It's okay if Renki Shinzhen is alive, but if he dies, he has to make good use of it, and in Renki Shinji's opinion, not letting his son-in-law die in vain is his greatest memory.
"Loyalty." Shinji Nishiki quickly made a choice, and instructed the waiting Kizo Masatada: "The main hall understands the purpose of your visit, and you must know what Shinsada's seppuku is for!"
Seeing that Shinji Hitoki mentioned Nobusada Renmu, Muzo Masatuda hurriedly said: "My lord, the righteousness of His Royal Highness Nobuzhen is unmatched. In this way, the family could not tolerate his intentions, so they came down to meet the lord. ”
"You're right!" Only then did Shinji Renki say with a hint of resentment: "Shinzhen can't be sacrificed in vain, and this hall can't let his loyalty become a laughing bing." When you are ready, you will go and take down the head of Nobusada, and the main hall wants you to take his head to the Ohno family again. Heinobu Ohno! Hmph~~~"
"Haha, I am determined to live up to the trust of the lord. It's just that...... It's just ......," Mu Zao said with some hesitation after receiving the order.
"Zhengzhong, what is difficult for you, but it doesn't hurt to say it." When Renmu Shinji saw that Muzo was loyal, he didn't have to scruple about it, and now that Renmu's family was in danger, it was really not the time for the lord and the minister to be suspicious. After getting the promise of Shinji Renki, Kizo Masataka said: "Princess Hanako and His Royal Highness Nobuta have a deep husband and wife, and I am worried that Princess Hanako will hinder Zaixia because of the unbearable in my heart." ”
"You don't have to worry about that." Shinji Nishiki said bitterly: "Hanako also understands Nobu-sada's hard work, she won't stop you, but if you can, please bring back Nobuya-sada's head." ”
"Haha." ......
Kizo Masashi retired, looking at Kizo Masatada's back, and Hitoki Shinji secretly swore that he would avenge Nishiki Shinsada. If the Ohno family is always strong, then he will be lurking, but once the Ohno family is weakened a little, he will definitely hit like a poisonous snake.
