Matsugami Castle Tower.

"Matsugami Yoshimitsu, meet Lord Chongyuanin, Yoshimitsu has passed away for so long before Yoshimitsu came to worship and hopes that Lord Chongyuanin will forgive his sins."

"Yoshimitsu-sama doesn't need to mind, you can come to Mrs. Ben already knows your loyalty."

At this time, Matsugami Yoshimitsu and his retainers finally arrived at Matsugami Castle after many days of traveling, and he dared to stop and immediately came to visit Chongyuan-in. And as the first retainer of Arijo who came to visit him after Matsugami Yoshiyuki's father and son died in battle, Chongyuan Temple also gave Matsugami Yoshimitsu an extremely grand reception.

After a big salute from the ministers, Chongyuan Yuan looked at Matsugami Yoshimitsu, who had been the first to come to Matsugami Castle to worship in the past few days, and couldn't help but feel at ease when he thought of his youngest son Gosanmaru, who was now less than a year old.

As the daughter of a samurai family, Chongyuan Yuan has a vision that is different from ordinary women, and she understands that when this troubled world is in doubt, there may be loyal ministers, but more people may be ill-intentioned.

Thinking of this, Chongyuanyuan couldn't help but wipe away his tears, half sincerely, half tentatively, and said: "Lord Yoshimitsu, since the death of Lord Yoshimitsu and Lord Yoshinobu in Xinjin, the foundation of the Matsugami family has been declining and splitting. Now that Yoshiyoshi and Yoshinobu have finally buried some of the castle keepers, they have begun to be vain and resigned, and this time Yoshimitsu is the first to come to Matsugami Castle to meet him, which really makes Mrs. Ben feel sorry!"

That's right!

Matsugami Yoshiyuki and Matsugami Yoshinobu father and son died in Shintsu in battle, and the funeral ceremony has not been held until now. Although Matsugami Yoshiyuki's father and son both died at the hands of the Shintsu clan, in fact, the bodies of their father and son were sent back to Matsugami Castle by the Shintsu family soon after the Battle of Shintsukan as a sign of peace.

However, despite this, Matsugami Yoshiyuki's father and son were not buried for a long time, because many retainers, especially some powerful retainers, still came to Matsugami Castle to pay homage.

There are only two types of inheritance of the head of the samurai family: one is that the former head of the family appoints a new head of the family during his lifetime or uses his last words to establish a new head of the family when he is dying, and the other is that the retainers jointly establish a new head of the family from among the heirs at the funeral of the previous lord.

Naturally, Matsugami Yoshiyuki will not have the opportunity to establish his grandson Gosanmaru as the head of the family, so in this case, Gosanmaru must be witnessed and supported by a number of retainers if he wants to become the new head of the family. Otherwise, even if Wusanmaru thought that he was the head of the family, he could only make the huge Matsugami family fall apart immediately, which was obviously unacceptable to Chongyuan Academy. Therefore, Matsugami Yoshiyuki's father and son are still unable to be buried due to various scruples, but Matsugami Yoshimitsu, who is a powerful retainer among the many retainers of the castle, initiated the visit to the shrine, which gave hope for a turnaround in the predicament faced by Chongyuanin.

"Lord Chongyuan, rest assured, I, Yiguang, have received the great grace of the precedent doctrine and practiced the public, so that I can be the lord of a city today. Such a great favor is difficult to repay for seven lives, and now that Yixing Gong has died, Yiguang should repay this kindness to the young master of Wusan Pill. ”

Seeing Chongyuan Yuan so sad, Matsugami Yoshimitsu took the opportunity to solemnly state his position, if he could gain the trust of Chongyuan Academy, it would be great for him.

"Yoshimitsu-sama's words are true! Are you really willing to support Gosanmaru to become the new head of the family?"

Chongyuan Yuan suddenly couldn't sit still, as long as Matsugami Yoshimitsu helped, it was very likely that Wusanmaru would be able to secure the position of the new head of the family.

Matsugami Yoshimitsu saw that Chongyuan Temple was so excited, and hurriedly promised again: "How dare Yoshimitsu have the slightest lie, it is really reasonable for the only grandson of Yoshiyoko to succeed to the position of the head of the family. Lord Chongyuanin can rest assured that Yoshimitsu will fully support the descendants of Yoshiyoko in controlling Matsujo Castle. “

"In this way, Mrs. Ben will thank Yoshimitsu for his great help on behalf of Gosanmaru."

After getting Matsugami Yoshimitsu's promise again, Chongyuan Yuan seemed to realize that he had just lost his temper, and only after secretly tidying up his demeanor did he continue to say the conditions for him to win over Matsugami Yoshimitsu.

"Yoshimitsu-samaru's loyalty, Goshimitsu and Mrs. Ben will not forget, if Goshimitsu can really become the new head of the family, then Yoshimitsu-samaru will be the ruler of the family before he is subdued."

Since ancient times, the situation of suspicion of the lord and the young minister has been taboo by the ruler, but it is really difficult to avoid, so the power of the ruler, the regent, and the latter to act in place of the young head of the family has been derived. Gosanmaru is now less than a year old, which means that even if he is Matsugami Yoshimitsu in the future, he will have at least ten years to control the authority of Matsugami Castle. A lot can happen when the power falls in the past ten years, and now Chongyuan Yuan proposes to let Matsugami Yoshimitsu take the position of government, which can be said to be doing everything to win over Matsugami Yoshimitsu, but it also shows that the current situation of Chongyuan Yuan is really embarrassing.

"Haha." Matsugami Yoshimitsu did not hesitate to woo Chongyuan Academy, but solemnly accepted it with courtesy.

Sometimes the push-off of others can show high style, but sometimes it obviously makes people feel insatiable. Matsugami Yoshimitsu understood that the proposal made by Chongyuan Yuan to let himself be in power in the future could not be refused, so Matsugami Yoshimitsu solemnly accepted her proposal.

Chongyuan Yuan obviously breathed a sigh of relief because of this, at this time, she was not afraid that the retainers had the conditions, but she was afraid that the retainers would not have the conditions. Because there is no requirement, it usually means that the ambition is too great, others cannot be satisfied, and they can only rely on their own competition, and meet the conditions of different retainers to check and balance and maintain the status of the five three pills, which is now the only way to keep the foundation of the Ohno clan in Chongyuanyuan.

"In this case, I will leave it to Yoshimitsu-sama from now on."

For Matsugami Yoshimitsu Chongyuanin, who accepted his proposal, he solemnly bowed and expressed his trust to the future of his young son.

Matsugami Yoshimitsu also bowed back after receiving the great gift of Chongyuanyuan and said, "Don't worry, Lord Chongyuanyuan, I will hand it over to you in the future." Now that he has met Lord Chongyuanyuan, Yoshimitsu will retire first. “

"Yoshimitsu-sama, please go."

After that, Matsugami Yoshimitsu took his leave and returned to his temporary residence in the castle town of Matsugami Castle. ......

"My lord, I wonder how the meeting with Chongyuan Academy was today?"

"Lord, what are the plans of the family in the future?"

"Lord, do we want to get close to the forces of the Chongyuan Academy?" ......

As soon as Matsugami Yoshimitsu returned to his temporary residence, the retainers who had been waiting for him for a long time quickly surrounded him and began to ask questions. Now Matsugami Castle has become a place where the interests of various forces are contested, and if they can't keep up with the lord's steps as retainers, it is easy to get into trouble.

"More on that later."

Matsugami Yoshimitsu untied the saber at his waist and threw it to Yoshiki Ichihei on the side, then walked to the table and poured a bowl and drank it all, and then he made his decision.

Although Chongyuan Yuan is weak, after all, she has a great name for righteousness, and she has also expressed her willingness to hand over the ruling position to the main hall in the future. Therefore, in the future, in this change, the main hall decided to side with the side of the temple. ”

"Haha." The retainers should claim to be.
