"Take the heir!"

This is a topic that will never fade during the period of feudal dynasties. From the throne of a country to the head of a family, every change of power is bound to be accompanied by bloodshed and strife.

The struggle for power is always brutal and destructive, and in this struggle, many families and even countries are weakened and destroyed. This kind of loss is unbearable and tolerated by any powerful country or powerful family, and it is in order to alleviate this destruction that the feudal patriarchal system was born. After all, when a nation or family is strong enough to a certain extent, a fool does not lead to destruction and endless fighting.

Of course, this is a rule that only exists in peaceful and prosperous times, if there is a troubled era or when the family and country are weak, you must use a method close to raising Gu to select a strong person to lead the family to survive. The Central Plains Dynasty, which advocated the etiquette system, was still so rude, and the troubled times of the island country were even more fierce, and a family, a family, and even an irrelevant outsider could become a contender for the inheritance of the family name.

Although Matsugami Yoshimitsu is currently in the end of the situation of taking the heir because he has no heir, but this kind of sign has already appeared, after all, Matsugami Yoshimitsu who lacks the help of his own clan must have an endless demand for heirs in the future.

Matsugami Yoshimitsu bluntly told himself that his own safety was not taken to heart in the face of his great cause, can Mrs. Nana not complain? resentment, but this is the responsibility and fate of the daughter of the samurai.

Matsugami Yoshimitsu marries a new side room lady, Mrs. Nana doesn't complain? resented, but she couldn't complain, otherwise she couldn't afford the consequences of losing Matsugami Yoshimitsu's favor.

Saigo Kanhisa and others, whom he has always relied on, disregard their own safety, can Mrs. Nana not complain? resentment, but if she wants to make a difference, she can't do without the support of Saigo Kanhisa and the Saigo faction behind him.

Mrs. Nana has always wanted her child to become the young lord of Matsumoto Castle, which she has been secretly planning since the day she became Matsugami Yoshimitsu's side chamber lady. Although the Shenmu family has perished, if the grandson with the blood of the Shenmu family can become the master of the old leader of the Shenmu family, it will not be a consolation for the father who died in battle. This is Mrs. Nana's deepest wish, and the cruelty of the troubled times of the Warring States period makes the daughter of the samurai family also bear the responsibility of continuing the family bloodline.

However, it is not easy for Mrs. Nana's wish to be realized, after all, the samurai family has a tradition since ancient times that the son is valued by the mother when the offspring is flourishing, and the mother is valued by the son when the offspring is withering. Will Matsugami Yoshimitsu marry another side chamber lady? This Mrs. Nana already knows the answer. Will Matsugami have other children? Mrs. Nana is not sure. Is there any advantage to the son you will have in the future? He's just a concubine, and Matsugami Yoshimitsu is still very young. If Mrs. Nana's future son wants to become the young lord of Matsumoto Castle, he can't do without her support, and if Mrs. Nana wants to provide this support, she can't do without the support of Saigo Kanhisa and the Saigo faction.

Originally, Mrs. Nana was not worried about this kind of support, after all, the common origin of the Shenmu family closely linked the two. But now there is a crack in this close relationship, and the Saigo faction's elder Saigo Kanhisa once ignored Mrs. Nana's safety, and the Saigo party may have concerns about supporting Mrs. Nana in the future. For the sake of the overall situation, Mrs. Nana naturally will not and dare not blame Saigo Kanhisa. But this is not enough, Mrs. Nana not only can't blame Saigo Kanhisa, but also has to let Saigo Kanhisa know that she won't blame him. This is the reason why Mrs. Nana hurriedly summoned Saigo Kanhisa, and she needs to pass on her kindness to Saigo Kanhisa quickly.

Mrs. Nana returned safely, but the turmoil caused by Mrs. Nana's safe return did not subside. Because of Saigo Kanjiu's previous remarks and choices, everyone in the Liangmu faction has the mentality of sitting back and watching a good show about Mrs. Nana's return, while the people in the Saigo faction are mixed. The joy is the safe return of Mrs. Nana, and the worry is also the safe return of Mrs. Nana, after all, not long ago, Mrs. Nana's safety has been ignored by their elders.

Saigo Kan long residence.

"Saigo-sama, what do you think about the safe return of Lady Nana? Your previous choice had offended her miserably, so you should make up for it before he noticed. As soon as Mrs. Nana returned, Yoshihei Tsuno, a close friend of Saigo Kanhisa, hurried to his residence to discuss with him how to deal with it.

"Hehe~~~" Saigo Kanjiu smiled bitterly and continued: "I didn't expect the lord to decide not to rebel against the Matsugami family immediately!" What I didn't expect was that Mrs. Nana would return safely so soon. ”

"What, do you regret it? Now the word of remedy is also urgent. Seeing his old friend smiling bitterly, Kahei Tsuno hurriedly asked.

Unexpectedly, Saigo Guanjiu retorted: "Regret! How can it be? A samurai is determined to be stoic, and regret should not be something that a samurai should have. ”

Tsuno Kahei looked at Saigo Kanjiu with a confused face, I don't regret that you look like a ghost!

"In that case, then why is Saigo-sama smiling bitterly?" Kahei Tsuno couldn't help but ask with the doubt in his heart.

"Alas~~~." Saigo Kanehisa sighed and replied, "As far as the situation at that time is concerned, if Yoshimitsu-sama wants to try to stand on his own, he really shouldn't worry too much about Mrs. Nana. As a retainer of Yoshimitsu-sama, I should naturally plan everything for him, and I have no regrets about Mrs. Nana's affairs. It's just that Mrs. Nana is the only bloodline left of her late Lord Shenmu after all, and it would be a pity if Mrs. Nana misunderstood me because of this. ”

Although the support of Mrs. Nana from the Saigo Party where Saigo Kanhisa is located did not rely on her identity as the side room of the lord, but I am afraid that it is more a remembrance of the Shenmu family, whose family name has been severed. But now that this kind of thing has happened, I'm afraid that Mrs. Nana will have a grudge against him Saigo Kanhisa, which is really a painful thing for Saigo Kanhisa, who misses the old kindness of the Shenmu family.

"Lord Saigo, I didn't expect you to still miss the Shenmu family now, your loyalty really makes me admire Kahei Tsuno!" Listening to Saigo Kanhisa's heartfelt words, Tsuno Yoshihei praised his loyalty very solemnly.

But then Tsuno Kahei persuaded him again: "However, since ancient times, it is difficult to achieve both loyalty and righteousness, and loyalty to Lord Yoshimitsu and righteousness to the bloodline of the Shenmu family must always have a choice." Since you have chosen to be loyal to Yoshimitsu-sama, then don't be so demanding about the righteousness of the Shenmu family's bloodline. ”

"Life is unsatisfactory, nine times out of ten. ......" Feeling the difficulty of choosing, Saigo Kanhisa sang in a crane voice.

"Bang~Bang~~Bang Bang." A sudden knock on the door interrupted Saigo Kankihisa's chanting.

"What?" Saigo Kanhisa asked with some displeasure.
