Hideyoshi eventually followed his younger brother to Kishiwada Castle and surrendered.

His appearance made the tie Tsunohide overjoyed, and he was even more valued than Takeda Katsuyori.

This is a factor that stems from another era.

Only the traveler clearly knows what amazing things this person will eventually achieve in the "original history". It is said that it is one of the few in the history of Fuso, and there is probably no problem.

Heite ordered Haruyasu Hattori to personally escort him, escorted by 300 people, and took great care to bring the target to Kyoto.

Then he questioned himself - or rather interrogated.

Kinoshita Hideyoshi has nothing to hide at this point, and he is generous with 1510.

From his mouth, he learned that the head of Akechi Mitsuhide handed in by Tsutsui Shunkei was indeed himself, but his nephew, Akechi Hidemitsu, who was praised by Hirate Hisho Hinohide as "Ghost Warrior Zuo Masuke", was still on the run, and his whereabouts were unknown.

The eldest Shibata Katsuie, I don't know if he was more vigilant or lucky, managed to escape to the northeast, speculating that he might be living in seclusion somewhere in Kanto, Hokuriku, and Okuwa.

As for Kinoshita Hideyoshi himself, he is not as gullible as Achi, nor does he want to leave his hometown like Shibata, so he lurks in the nearby region, persistently waiting for the time when the world will regenerate chaos and heroes will rise again.

I waited until now, and finally gave up hope.

Then I exchanged the truth about the "change of the Great Xiangguo Temple" back then.

Speaking of this, Kinoshita Hideyoshi was still very calm, and said calmly: "At the beginning, Lord Gongfang was ...... to me I also have a lot of trust in us, so why do we have to have different intentions if we have to do it? It's just that his old man is becoming more and more arbitrary and ruthless day by day, insisting on executing his own nephew, and then planning to poison Oda Danzheng, and even had serious disputes with the court ministers and eminent monks. In order to avoid tragedy, we have no other way than to launch a military admonition. ”

This statement was quite surprising to the draw.

He stared at the other party's face for a long time, and he still couldn't tell whether what he said just now was true or false.

Not to mention, it may be a half-truth and a half-truth, and nine sentences of truth are mixed with one sentence of falsehood.

Kinoshita Hideyoshi behaved without pressure, his expression was completely relaxed, he saw through the world, understood the smell of red dust, and simply put on a robe and held a Zen staff, and he could go to the temple to pretend to be a monk.

What he said was actually very valuable for the current situation. The worse Ashikaga Yoshiaki's image is, the more justified the Hirate family has to take over Kyoto.

But because of this, it seems a bit fake.

Whether it is the truth or deliberately distorted to his liking, it is difficult to say.

Heishou thought for a while, and then had a whim, and proposed: "Why don't you do this, Kinoshita, I'll give you a month to clearly write down the changes before and after that time into written words, and submit it to me to see." ”

Kinoshita Hideyoshi smiled when he heard this, nodded meaningfully, and said, "The contemptible person completely understands. Then the key to writing is ......"

"No, you don't understand." Hijo raised his hand and interrupted him: "It may be too difficult to ask for a complete 'truth', after all, no one is an all-knowing and all-powerful god and Buddha, but we should still try to be as objective and cautious as possible, especially when it comes to accusing a general of Zhengyi, we must take into account all aspects of factors and properly follow the rules of 'for the Venerable', so that it can be done." ”

At this moment, Hideyoshi couldn't be calmer anymore.

Could it be that we don't plan to throw all the black cauldrons to the right people, but try our best to save the face of the "runaway party"?

What is the rationale for this?

Hideyoshi asked tentatively, "But after all, it's ...... After all, it's the princess.,The confrontation with Oda Danmasa.。 If we want to avoid the fault of the former, will it not appear that the latter's culpability will be very serious......"

Pingshou Fanxiu frowned and said: "What I mean is to be as neutral and objective as possible, and don't think about the messy questions of who is right and who is evil, and who is wrong and who is wrong." If I'm satisfied, I might consider sparing your death and exchanging it for exile for life. ”

Kinoshita Hideyoshi was stunned.

He immediately understood two things:

First, the vision and pattern of the Pingshou Nayan seem to be more powerful than expected, and the feedback received from the people who thought they were good was not good.

Second, I don't seem to be completely afraid of death. When I heard that there was hope for life, my heart was still beating violently.

So he hurriedly saluted and received the order.

……

In order to meet Kinoshita Hideyoshi, Hirata Hidehide hung out Takeda Katsuyori, who was a guest, for two days.

The latter will never complain.

During his one-month stay in Kyoto, he repeatedly told the same thing in various postures: "The Takeda family resolutely obeyed the orders of Lord Nakanayan, and was very willing to do their part in the pacification of Hokuriku, Kanto, and even Ou. ”

Repeating this, of course, is not just for the flat to listen to - otherwise the ears will be calloused.

Instead, it is necessary to give the people present at different times and on different occasions, such as ministers, monks, artists, merchants, and all the important ministers under the command of Lieutenant General Zhong Nayan, so that they all have this impression.

Let everyone know that the Takeda family was the first to stand up after Ashikaga Yoshiaki ran away and resolutely stood on the side of "justice".

The others, such as Tokugawa, Oda, Araki, Tsutsui, Kyogoku, and Takeda (Wakasa), were either forced to fall to the Hirate family due to the situation, or they were simply weak subordinate forces, which are not worth mentioning.

Only Takeda Katsuyori, who inherited the prestige of his father and ancestors, is recognized as one of the few fierce men in the world, and his value is different when he chooses a side.

Before he left, Naito spent the evening planning his speech skills, trying to create an atmosphere that "made the lieutenant general embarrassed not to give great praise."

In fact, I also explained, and found a way to put the eldest ladies who looked good at Jia Fei to Pingshou Fan Xiu or Yoshimitsu.

But Takeda Katsuyori still wants to be faced, and he really doesn't want to take the initiative to send his sister and niece to be a side room. I mentioned two sentences a little sideways, but I didn't get a positive response, so I didn't say it anymore.

Of course, this did not affect the overall effect of the negotiation.

In any case, you can't afford not to pay attention to the matter of "first goodness".

However, after meeting Kinoshita Hideyoshi, Hirate Honhide didn't know what was wrong, and suddenly spoke bluntly, and said directly to Takeda Katsuyori on the second day: "The loyalty of Ozen (inheriting his father's official position) is enough, and the people who should see it have already seen it, and you can start talking about what you want." ”

Takeda Katsuyori was dumbfounded, sweating profusely, and he was submissive.

I don't know if it's really panicked or pretended.

Pingshou Fan Xiu didn't care about him, and continued to take care of himself: "The dignified Genji clan Takeda family, such a general attitude of knowing the times and knowing the general situation, it is natural to reward rather than punish." However, Ling Zu Lingzun is very famous in the Jiaxin area, if he is blocked, he is only afraid of ...... It will always be an independent world, and the Kyoto faction's past pursuit is completely insufficient to open up the situation. ”

Speaking of these words that should be frightened, Takeda Katsuyori was not panicked, he raised his head slightly, showing a face full of confusion and a little bit of pride.

Then Hite-ho finally got to the point, raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the east, and said slowly: "So I thought about it for a long time, but I still decided, so I let you and Imagawa Jibu (Shima) go together to persuade Hojo Sagami (Shimasa) in Kanto and let him come to Kyoto in person, how about it?" I think most of it won't work out, but that's just right. ”

"If you can't make it, it's just ......" Takeda Katsuyori muttered and repeated on the ground, his whole body trembling unconsciously.

He subconsciously rejoiced that he had followed Naito's advice.

Looking back, I was ashamed of this happiness.
