Chapter 15: Shocking News (II)
Nobunaga's disposition was not questioned too much. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Although the tie is useless and nameless, it is the widow of the old tie Masahide of the second Xi family. Moreover, his brother is old and childless, and at present, it seems that Fanxiu is very likely to inherit the family business as the only heir of the flat hand.
It is reasonable that the father was the financial director of the Nobuhide period, and the son was in charge of the land of Forty Town.
The only problem is that the temporary transformation of the war's personal servants into the administration of the land is impossible to happen in the strict laws of Asakura or Go-Hojo.
After the biggest thing was finalized, some details were discussed, and by the time the song ended, it was already night. Owari is still in the midst of war, and it is dangerous to walk alone at night, and most people are reluctant to take risks unless necessary.
Nakono Castle was Nobunaga's former residence, and the scale was naturally not small, and in the capacity of Panxiu and Chengmasa, he was also assigned a room to rest in the city.
Before falling asleep, there seems to be no other way to be entertained other than chatting.
"His Highness's behavior today is really surprising." Sasa Naruma is not a person who is good at laughing, and after a few words, the topic returns to serious things.
"It's not a bad idea to retreat into advance, but it's just ...... It's a bit risky. Fanxiu stared at Nobunaga from afar, muttering to himself expressionlessly.
"Brilliant idea?" Chengzheng seemed to have gained, but he was unclear, so he asked sideways.
"Many of the villagers under the ancient wild castle followed His Royal Highness Xinguang to seal this place, and now Lord Lin is considered to be the mastermind of the assassination, and those villagers and local servants are afraid that they will treat him as an enemy, and Sado, as the lord of the city, I'm afraid that life will not be easy."
"What's more, he also let His Highness Nobumitsu's retainers stay in the city, these people are nominally temporarily under Sado's command, but in private they only have resentments. In case Sado mishandled it and caused chaos, His Highness would have enough reason to dispose of him. ”
"That's the case, I was only a little moved, but I didn't think about it thoroughly...... Cheng Zheng nodded, and suddenly frowned again, "But did the lord underestimate Sado too much?" If Sado splits it up and really holds the ancient no castle in his hands, it will be unimaginable. ”
Fanxiu was silent for a moment and shook his head.
"I'm afraid others won't give him a chance."
"Someone else? Even His Royal Highness, it is not easy to interfere with the behavior of important ministers. ”
"But the other person I'm talking about is not His Highness."
"So ......"
"It has been several years since the death of the first temple, and the more it drags on, the more deeply rooted the current lord will become. So, Musashi Mamoru (Oda Nobuyuki) probably can't wait for a long time. If he was able to take down Nakono Castle this time, His Highness Musashi probably thought it was a good opportunity. ”
Fanxiu was quite talkative in his previous life, and often went to historical forums to irrigate, and in this life he happened to meet his well-read father.
However, in Sasa's view, this is an extraordinary skill.
After all, this was an era of extremely low literacy rates, but anyone who could write fluently and in Chinese would be considered a literati and a wise man.
"Xiu Chiyo, you really deserve to be the son of the prison hall." Cheng Zheng sighed, and suddenly a new doubt arose, "But didn't Your Highness send you to take charge of Sado's forty town estates?" Isn't your situation as dangerous as Sado's? ”
"Escrow?" Fanxiu glanced at Cheng Zheng, "Do you really think so?" ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"That's just an excuse. As His Royal Highness, he was really embarrassed to directly take Sado's real estate as a direct leader, so he just found an agent that everyone could accept. I was chosen because the Hirate family's Shiga Castle was closer to Okimura. If the land of Forty Towns is around Hira Castle, I'm afraid you'll be the candidate! ”
"Although it is true, His Highness said it himself after all......"
A hint of sarcasm suddenly appeared on Fanxiu's face.
"That's true, but how can a teenager like me know how to manage the land? If what I expected is right, the Murai (Sadakatsu) Hall will come at once and send someone to 'help' in the custody of this land. ”
Cheng Zheng was about to refute, but he heard a rush of footsteps in the corridor.
"Is the Hiteden there?"
This was followed by a gentle knock on the door.
When he opened the door, he was greeted by Murai Sadakatsu, the current retainer of the Oda family, who Nobunaga trusted and relied on in domestic affairs the most.
Beside him, followed by a young man who was selling.
"Sasada, too!" Murai's gaze at Narumasa seemed to be very complicated.
What other gossip is there? Fanxiu had a flash of thought, but he didn't have time to think about it.
After a few words of greeting, Zhensheng made his intentions clear.
The young man behind him has just turned thirteen years old, and Murai Sadakatsu is a fellow villager, both are Omi people, because the family is in the middle of the road, with Murai to Owari to make a living, learning reclamation, measurement and arithmetic for several years, today it happens to be in Owari to collect rent,.
"I don't know what your Excellency is called?" Fanxiu sat on the mat and bowed slightly, which was considered a gift.
The young man hurriedly bowed, with a flattered expression on his face, but his words were not chaotic at all.
"The villain is Masuda Hitoemon Nagamori."
"Masuda Nagamori?" Fanxiu glanced at him in surprise. This is a name that is not inferior to Murai Sadakatsu's.
"Do you have any questions about the Heiteden?" Murai was suspicious.
"Oh, no. Rest assured, Murai Hall will definitely let Niemon pay the taxes on time. ”
"Since it's a flat hall, naturally there won't be any mistakes."
Murai Sadakatsu complied, but pulled out a few pieces of paper from his arms.
"This is the number of the last land inspection in Okimura, and the other is the list of military service. The property of these forty towns totaled 260 kan, and there were 34 military servants, and they were also taken care of by the Heiteden. ”
"The last one is the letter of appointment signed by His Highness."
Fanxiu suddenly froze in place.
Although this land does not nominally belong to him, with these few copies of the paper in hand, it is no different from his own security.
Murai leaves.
Fanxiu was silent.
Cheng Zheng looked at Pan Xiu for a long time, and his eyes were quite complicated.
"It seems that Your Highness ...... It's really important for Hidechiyo...... It's really jealous. ”
After speaking, Cheng Zheng reluctantly smiled and got up to say goodbye.
Fanxiu couldn't tell how much of this sentence was sincere.
********************************************************************
The night is getting deeper, but it is still difficult to sleep, just because of Nobunaga's actions, which is really incomprehensible.
Even his confidants Sasa and Maeda, or his brother Ikeda, have not been promoted in vain.
When tossing and turning, it ushered in guests again.
"Is there any left?"
There was a very soft noise outside the door.
It's past the hour! Fan Xiu scolded and opened the door.
The person who came turned out to be Niwa Nagahide.
"Niwa Hall ......" Fanxiu was about to give a salute, but the other party made a silent gesture.
"Your Highness, please, please come with me." Niwa said softly.
Is there anything else that is unspeakable?
Fanxiu suddenly became nervous, but he could only follow Niwa.
On the way forward, he didn't meet a guard on duty at night, so Fanxiu became more and more suspicious.
In Nobunaga's room, there was only a dim lamp. The owner of the room, leaning against the light, was studying a pile of tiny shredded papers.
"Your Highness, Zhizuo has arrived."
It was only after a while that Nobunaga looked up from under the lamp and glanced at it.
"Go down."
"Yes." Niwa took the order.
Fanxiu gave a salute, and sat opposite without asking the reason.
Nobunaga looked him up and down, his expression a little strange.
"Very left, very surprised."
Nobunaga's figure, under the flickering flames, looked particularly hideous.
"I don't know what His Highness said."
Nobunaga smiled, but did not answer.
"Bee Suga Xiaoliu, I've been following him for a long time, and although I was a little flustered today, I still took the time to look at the gift he offered."
He raised the piece of paper in his hand.
"Do you know what it's written on?"
"The minister doesn't dare to speculate." In front of this person, Fanxiu's gaze was as calm and fearless as ever.
"Don't dare?" Nobunaga sneered twice, "Except for one important piece of news, the rest are some trivial things, and it doesn't matter if you dare or not." ”
"I may not be really interested in knowing about other people's affairs, but what about the old man?"
Fanxiu raised his head suddenly.
Nobunaga has been unruly since he was a child, and when he was a teenager, he called Shibata, Hayashi and others by their names without any respect, and there was only one person who could be honored by him......
Nobunaga also retracted all his smiles, and his face gradually turned cold.
"According to Wasuka, Grandpa is in ...... On the day of the incident, I once received a mysterious letter, and then my expression changed drastically......"
Fanxiu suddenly stood up from the ground, his arms trembling continuously.
"How would he know this? Why didn't I see it? ”
Nobunaga was silent.
"The minister is out of shape."
Fanxiu sat back in place and reverted to the shape of a clay sculpture.
"Wasuka has traveled all over Omi, and he has befriended ninjas before, so perhaps, he knows more things than us in the eyes of Nakono Castle."
At that time, Hirate Masahide, because of his position as an auxiliary minister, lived in Nakono Castle.
"Actually, you don't have to think about it, who else is there besides the few people around Kanjuro (Oda Nobuyuki)?"
Fanxiu didn't say anything, just listened quietly.
"Your two brothers, Jiuxiu and Changzheng, are less than one-tenth of grandpa's talent, and the only thing that can make people look forward to it is only you and your very left."
"On the Beesuka side, I will continue to send someone to contact, and in the Hisho family, only you can investigate clearly."
Nobunaga was uncharacteristically incessant, and he continued to talk for nearly a quarter of an hour before he stopped.
This is really a rare initiative for him to show goodwill.
Fanxiu's heart suddenly loosened.
Then he was still blank and retreated.
