Two days later, in the autumn of the twenty-third year of astronomy, not far from the Xinjin Pavilion, Yuanming Temple.

At this time, a grand ebony hat pro-ceremony was being held in the Yuanming Temple. Since the two people who are about to become ebony hats are the heads of the Shintsu and Matsukami families, the important people of the two families such as Mrs. Yuno of the Shintsu family. Sajiro Doi and Ryozo Tsuki, Yoshinobu Matsugami of the Matsukami family. Ohno Heinobu and Matsukami Yoshimitsu were all present at the moment.

In the Yuanming Temple, Matsugami Yoshinobu, the head of the Matsugami family, very solemnly put a delicately made black hat on the head of the head of the new family, Shinjin Youzhen. Then Matsugami Yoshinobu spread out to the surrounding people, and the rice paper with the word "righteousness" written on it all the way to Shinjin Yuzhen said loudly.

"From now on, think of this temple as your father. The main hall has given you the word righteousness in the name, and from now on you will be called Shinjin Yoshisada. ”

"Haha." Shintsu Yoshisada said loudly after giving Matsugami a bow.

At this point, Matsugami Yoshiyuki and Shintsu Yoshisada officially formed a black hat relationship equivalent to a righteous father-son relationship.

In this regard, the expressions of the two retainers were different. Most of the retainers of the Matsugami family were happy, you must know that the Wa country does not value blood, only relationships, and with this layer of black hats, Matsugami Yoshiyuki will have the righteousness of interfering in the affairs of the Xinjin family. On the contrary, most of the retainers of the Shinjin family showed sad faces, and they were not unaware of the ambitions of the Matsugami family, but at present, they could only swallow their anger under the threat of the Matsugami family's troops.

Matsugami Yoshiyuki naturally saw the reaction of the retainers of the Shinzu family, but he didn't care.

"Now that the general trend is in this hall, what can they do to me?" At this time, Matsugami Yoshiyuki thought so, but he didn't expect that it was because of his contempt and carelessness that the hegemony of the Matsugami family would end soon. ......

After the ceremony of the ebony hat family, the retainers loyal to the Xinjin family soon left, and even some people with evil intentions did not dare to go against the general trend. The retainers of the Matsugami family also left quickly, after all, at this moment, they still had to be stationed all over the Shinjin Pavilion to prevent accidents. And Mrs. Yuno still went to meet Matsugami Yoshiyuki with a hint of luxury.

Matsugami Yoshiyuki's residence.

Mrs. Yuno forcibly endured the resentment in her heart and said to Matsugami Yoshiyuki. "Your Highness Yoshiyuki, it is really thanks to the assistance of the Matsugami family that the Xinjin Pavilion was pacified so quickly this time. Yu Nai is grateful. ”

"Mrs. Yuno is polite, you and I are in-laws. Now His Royal Highness Yizhen has formed a black hat relationship with the main hall, which is what the main hall should do. Shinjin and Matsugami are now the same as one. Hahahaha. Matsugami said with a meaningful smile.

"Phew, it's the same as a family. I think you're trying to annex the Xinjin family? Mrs. Yuno, who was shameless about Matsugami Yoshiyuki, scolded fiercely in her heart, and then said with the same smile. The Matsugami family will not forget the love of the Shintsu family, but the two families are different after all. Now that the civil strife in the Xinjin family has been assessed, Mrs. Ben is not going to trouble the Matsugami family anymore. I don't know when His Royal Highness Yoshiyuki will return to Matsugami Castle, and when the time comes, the family will definitely offer 1,000 silver coins as a reward, and the Shinjin family will also look forward to the Matsugami family for generations. ”

Mrs. Yuno is not afraid of losses in order to take back the Xinjin Pavilion as soon as possible, not to mention that this is almost equivalent to a subordinate promise, and the 1,000 silver sentences alone are not accumulated for more than ten years, and the Xinjin family can't take it out at all. But in order for Shintsu Yoshisada to keep the Shintsu family, it was all worth it in Mrs. Yuno's opinion.

However, Mrs. Yuno misestimated Matsugami Yoshiyuki's ambitions, and perhaps she saw that she still had a hint of extravagance. Regarding Mrs. Yuno's proposal, Matsugami Yoshiyuki refused with a mocking expression. "Mrs. Yuno is too polite, and the family should help the Xinjin family without reward. As for the withdrawal of soldiers, there are still many unscrupulous people in the Xinjin family, and the main hall will have to stay for some time. I wonder what Mrs. Yuno thinks? ”

Mrs. Yuno now understands that this Matsugami Yoshido doesn't want anything just to swallow the entire Shinjin family.

But before she could lose it, Matsugami Yoshiyuki said something that worried her even more. "By the way, before the main hall returns to Matsugami Castle, His Royal Highness Yoshisada will stay in the Shinjin Pavilion. The main hall is just about to replace the deceased His Highness Hikarita, who teaches him how to become a qualified head of the house. Matsugami Yoshiyuki didn't wait for Mrs. Yuno to react and said lightly.

"This, this ......" Mrs. Yuno knew that Matsugami Yoshiyuki was going to take Shinjin Yusada as a hostage, and she wanted to refuse but didn't dare to refuse.

Matsugami Yoshiyuki saw that Mrs. Yuno was a little hesitant, and her tone suddenly became a little cold. "What? Isn't Mrs. Yuno willing? ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, Yizhen will entrust it to His Royal Highness Yixing." Mrs. Yuno had no choice but to leave under the threat of Matsugami Yoshiyuki.

On the second day, Matsugami Yoshiyuki entered the Shinjin Museum with Shintsu Yoshisada in high spirits. Although the civil strife of the Shinjin family has subsided, the retainers have not been rewarded or punished until now. Matsugami Yoshiyuki entered the Shinjin Pavilion this time to take the opportunity of rewarding and punishing the Shinjin ministers to weaken the influence of the Shintsu family and buy people's hearts.

Shintsukan castle tower.

At this time, Shintsu Yoshisada was in the main position, and the retainers of the Matsugami family and the Shintsu family sat on the left and right sides of it, and Matsugami Yoshiyuki lived not far from the left front of Shintsu Yoshisada. Although Shintsu Yoshisada was in the main position, everyone present knew that it was Matsugami Yoshiyuki who really made the decision, and there was nothing more tragic than his own retainers to let others reward and punish him.

Sure enough, Matsugami Yoshiyuki took out a sentimental sheet and began to read. "Maki Ryohei, Zong Yirong and other rebellious ministers betrayed their own family and deprived them of all their knowledge and deeds, and the rest of the servants had their knowledge and deeds halved."

"How so?"

"Your Highness alone, ......"

"You must not die a good death as a righteous thief." ......

After Matsugami Yoshiyuki's disposition of the Shintsu family rebels was issued, some of the Zhixing people were just lost their souls, and those who were seized couldn't help but scold Matsugami Yoshiyuki. But no one cared, and everyone present knew that these retainers were finished. Retainers can naturally transfer to other families, and even many people are highly valued after being transferred. But the retainers of the rebel lord's family can no longer be samurai, and they will no longer be trusted for their rebellion. For a moment, both the retainers of the Matsugami family and the Shinjin family couldn't help but tremble.

Next, Matsugami Yoshiyuki began to announce the rewards for those meritorious retainers of the Shinjin family, most of them were added to a dozen stones, dozens of stones. In the end, except for civil engineering Ryozo, the rest of the meritorious retainers were rewarded. At this time, Tsuchiki Ryozo couldn't help but look forward to it, you must know that Mrs. Yuno had promised him a thousand stones.

However......

"Ryozo Tsuki."

"Haha." Hearing Matsugami Yoshiyuki shouting his name, Ryozo Tsugi hurriedly answered loudly.

"Civil engineering Liangsan, seal 300 stones of Zhixing." Matsugami Yoshiyuki finally said slowly. He didn't give 1,000 stone to Shimokawa Castle, which was expected by Ryozo Tsuki, but only 300 stone.

"300 stones?" When Tsuchiki Ryozo heard that his reward was only 300 stones, he couldn't help but ask a question.

"That's right, it's 300 stones. Is there any dissatisfaction with the civil engineering adults? Matsugami Yoshiyuki asked coldly when he saw that Ryozo Tsukiki dared to question himself.

"Don't dare, don't dare." Ryozo Tsugi suddenly woke up when he saw Matsugami Yoshiyuki's anger.

"Don't dare." Matsugami Yoshiyuki didn't listen to Ryozo Tsuki's explanation, or that he didn't want Ryozo Tsuki's explanation at all, so Matsugami Yoshiyuki stood up and walked directly in front of Ryozo Tsuki, kicking him down. Then Matsugami Yoshiyuki began to beat up Tsuki Ryozo, who was naturally capable of resisting, but he only dared to protect the vital point.

"Your Highness is angry."

"Your Highness, please calm your anger." Seeing this, the retainers of the surrounding two families hurriedly interceded for Tsuki Ryozo.

However, Matsukami's move was to establish his prestige, so how could he stop so easily? On the contrary, the more people persuaded him, the harder he beat him.

After about a quarter of an hour, Matsugami Yoshiyuki was tired before he spoke. "The next time you offend this temple, you will not be spared." After speaking, he looked around and found that everyone was afraid, and his heart was even more satisfied.

"Haha, I'm grateful." Seeing Matsugami Yoshiyuki forgiving him, Tsuchiki Ryozo hurriedly endured the pain and got up to thank him, but no one noticed his increasingly clenched fists at this time.

Matsugami treats people so harshly, probably God won't let him live forever. ......
