Chapter 19: The Power of His Majesty
The book is picked up again. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The preface says that the tie Pan Xiu led more than 1,000 people to guard Kyoto, and in order to prevent the counterattack of the Miyoshi Yu Party, he sent an envoy to contact Matsunaga Dan Masahisaki, and wanted to brake quietly.
The five countries of Jinnai, the radius is about 200 miles, the envoy walked lightly, even if he wanted to hide his identity and avoid the checkpoint, the back and forth was only between ten days.
Hirate Fanxiu only stayed in Yamazaki Castle for three days, and then waited for the dusty Honda Masanobu. He also brought back a letter written by Matsunaga Hide.
"It's safe to come and go, it seems that Matsunaga Danmasa is unexpectedly a good talker." Pingshou Fanxiu smiled lightly, as if he had received a message from a friend, "It must be good news to bring it back." ”
"That's what Your Highness said." Honda Masanobu sat upright, quite unusually complacent, thinking that he was very satisfied with this mission, "Matsunaga Danmasa and the three of Miyoshi are mortal enemies, and if you want to fight against them, I am afraid that you are even more enthusiastic than Your Highness." ”
Was it so fun to go to Matsunaga's house once? Fanxiu was a little puzzled in her heart, it seemed that she had rarely seen Honda Masanobu so proud before.
But if you think about it on the other hand, it seems that diplomatic missions have historically increased the fastest in games...... Well, it shouldn't have anything to do with that.
"So, what did you say about Matsunaga's Danmasa?"
When it came to business, Honda Masatin restrained his mind, sat upright, took out a letter from his arms, bent over and handed it over, and said: "This is the handwriting of His Highness Matsunaga, please take a look!" ”
"It's actually handwritten...... Danzheng is really polite. The flat hand Fanxiu bowed slightly. Sure enough, in this world, the person who is most anxious to deal with the rest of the Miyoshi family is none other than this person.
Matsunaga Hide's ability to get ahead in the Miyoshi family full of important ministers, and earn the position of the lord of a country by an unknown person, there is no doubt that he is a talented person, but the result of climbing up is that he has too many enemies and a bad reputation, and once he loses power and is crusaded against, he is embattled, which is enough for latecomers to warn.
The letter is four pages long, sprinkled with thousands of words, more than two-thirds of which are nonsense such as loyalty to the monarchy, and the remaining one-third is more than half of the flashy rhetoric used for decoration, in short, it is a typical Kyoto style, which makes Owari grow up, and he is used to seeing the straight Kanto style of the flat show in front of his eyes, and he suddenly feels homesick when he thinks of the conference documents and official newspapers he saw in his previous life.
Matsunaga Hide's offer for a draw was almost entirely accepted, with a few personal suggestions, and the other way around, making him seem to be a sensible and friendly ally......
"But that's why I feel that something is wrong......," Fanxiu muttered to himself, leaning back on the back seat, his right hand tapping lightly on the table.
Matsunaga's reputation was so great that few people could see him as a reliable ally. When dealing with him, I always feel that it is the norm to go through some twists and turns, and it makes people suspicious that it goes so smoothly.
"You don't have to be so formal, it's okay to say anything directly." Fanxiu lazily looked around left and right, glancing around. Everyone in the room looked at each other, but no one wanted to stand up and speak.
"I really want to see up close, what the world-famous 'Evil Bullet Zheng' looks like......" Kawada Naga, who was standing behind Fanxiu, seemed to be a little unwilling, and muttered softly.
Then Numata Yumitsu also nodded, sighed lightly, seemed to feel the same way, and responded softly: "I knew that it was an envoy to the Matsunaga family, so maybe I recommended myself in the next ......"
Is that all there is to it?
Fanxiu shook his head, lazily put the letter on the desk, and asked, "I have something to do with Matsunaga, so it shouldn't be a rumor, right?" ”
"Yes!" Honda Masanosin replied, "This time he is secretive, and he is just an unknown person, and outsiders can't think of it." ”
"That's reassuring." Fanxiu squinted his eyes and looked at Kawada Nagajin, and said, "Shinkuro (Kawada's common character) has been getting quieter and quieter lately, so isn't there anything to say?" ”
"This ......" Kawada only felt embarrassed when he heard this, and lowered his head and leaned over and replied: "If possible, I really don't want to have anything to do with Matsunaga Danmasa, and I don't even want to hear this name!" ”
Numata Yumitsu on the side nodded approvingly, then took over and said, "Matsunaga Danmasa, this person is definitely a dangerous person if he is an enemy, and if he is a friend, he must always be careful." ”
"......" Fanxiu raised his eyebrows, only feeling a little crying and laughing, saying that there was no constructive opinion, it was all to remind Matsunaga how dangerous this person was. It seems that this person's notoriety is not completely useless, at least it can scare many ignorant teenagers!
"Your Highness......" Honda Masanobu was much calmer than Kawada and Numata, but in front of those two, he really didn't say anything.
Pingshou Fanxiu gestured to him, then glanced sideways at Kawada Nagashi, and scolded angrily: "Don't say this kind of thing in front of outsiders!" The family now supports the public side of Shangluo, and the momentum is unique, why bother to increase the prestige of others! ”
"Your Highness said yes!" Kawada's face turned slightly red, and he bowed down to confess.
"When it came to the trend of the world, I didn't see you so out of shape, but now a Matsunaga is right, and he is afraid of him like a tiger?" Fanxiu seemed to be angry, and then asked.
"This ...... His Highness ...... "Yumitsu Numata stepped forward to give a salute.
"How?"
"Matsunaga Danmasa is indeed too ordinary."
……
Numata Yumitsu is used to being dissolute, and as a shogun, he refused to be a sycophant in front of the emperor, let alone now.
"According to His Highness's strength, naturally he will not take the rest in his eyes." Honda Masanobu saw that the flat fan showed displeasure, and cautiously stepped forward to compliment.
When Fanxiu heard this, he was silent and said, "Let's stop here today, I'm also a little tired." Then he turned and went out, walking through the hallway to the bedroom.
"Your Highness, there's something else down there......" Honda Masanobu shouted stubbornly.
"Come along."
Pingshou Fanxiu's deep voice came.
Kawada Nagaqin and Numata Yumitsu both showed a little unnaturalness on their faces. Honda Masanobu only pretended not to see, bowed his head and bowed, and quickly followed the flat hand and left.
Fanxiu also waved his hand very cooperatively, ordering the guards to leave, leaving only two people in the corridor.
"Greetings to Your Highness! In fact, there is still one thing about Matsunaga Danmasa, which was never written in the letter. ”
"Oh? What is it? Fanxiu's expression remained unchanged, and he was very calm and relaxed.
"Matsunaga Danmasa learned that His Highness had sheltered the believers of the Pure Land Shin Sect (Ichijo Sect), and I hope to exchange the heavy gifts for these believers to transfer to the Matsunaga family." Honda Masanobu carefully observed Fanxiu's reaction as he spoke.
"That's ......"
This condition is indeed a bit abrupt and inconvenient to explain in front of people, but Honda Masanobu deliberately avoided others, but he was a little cautious. This pan-show will naturally not be broken.
"It seems that Matsunaga Danmasa is trying to use the Ichijo sect to deal with the monks of Nara." After thinking for a moment, Tie Fanxiu came to this conclusion.
"Your Highness is really a clever plan." Honda Masanobu hurriedly complimented him.
The Yamato Province where Matsunaga Shu is located is a region with a deep Buddhist heritage, and the power of the temple monks is extremely strong, and the Tsutsui clan, the sworn enemy of the Matsunaga clan, is a daimyo family with a deep relationship with Buddhism, and often uses these forces to bring trouble to the Matsunaga family.
The pervasiveness and intertwining of traditional religious forces made it difficult to deal with them head-on, so it was not surprising that Matsunaga had to come up with another faith to fight against it.
In the troubled times of the Warring States, not only the monarch chooses the minister, but the minister also chooses the king, and the matter of transferring officials is really common. In addition, Oda Nobunaga's attitude towards the forces of the Ichizong sect was not friendly, and he also took a little risk by accepting those hundreds of believers.
Looks like a win-win deal. But...... Considering that the contact person, Honda Masashi, is himself a follower of the Honda sect, I am afraid that this matter may not be so simple.
Yahachiro (Honda Masanobu's character) ...... You yourself are one of the believers. Fanxiu turned around and looked at Honda Masatin squarely.
"Yes." Honda bent down and didn't dare to look at each other.
"I think that Matsunaga Dan is in possession of half of Yamato Country, so Yulu should be much stronger than here!"
"I only know how to obey His Highness's orders."
Fanxiu looked at the other party's appearance, and couldn't help but tighten his eyebrows.
In the history of the past time and space, people such as Kawada Nagakin, Numata Yumitsu, and Matsui Tomokan were also rare talents, but they were only limited to the scope of good ministers, and Honda Masanobu was regarded by Tokugawa Ieyasu as a teacher and friend, and he was a figure who could plan the world.
At that time, Honda Masanobu was just the son of an eagle craftsman, and he was already quite graceful, and after several years of training, he made amazing progress. Especially after this mission to Matsunaga's house, it seems that there have been earth-shaking changes in just ten days.
A shrewd retainer naturally needs a powerful head of the house to control.
Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu have all seen it, could it be that Matsunaga Hideshi will be more powerful than them?
In the heart of the tie Fanxiu, a little bit of fighting spirit suddenly arose for a long time.
"Looks like Matsunaga has a lot of emphasis on you." Fanxiu stopped at the door of the bedroom and said something as if unintentionally.
"I'm scared below." Honda Masanobu knelt down three steps away and bowed.
Fanxiu smiled slightly, noncommittal, and turned to leave. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation. )
