Tieshou Fanxiu appeased Qingji a few words, but the other party still burst into tears, and in his words, he blamed the cause of Hisaku's death on Takigawa Yiyi's disadvantage. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info However, he himself is the blood of the Takigawa family, and this cannot be changed.

The Hite's family of Nishi-Shiga Castle has 3,000 koku of Zhixing, and there are also about 1,000 koku of ground servants, who belong to their matching, and the total strength is 4,000 koku, and up to 300 ashigaru can be recruited. This strength, in the hands of the weak and gentle Tieshou Jiuxiu, has not increased much over the years. However, if it is a young and promising family governor, it is likely to catch the rapid development of the Oda family, and it is unknown that he will be listed as an important minister in a few years.

Although Keiji seems to be dissatisfied with Takigawa Kazuyi's actions this time, what about the future? According to the history known by later generations, Maeda Keiji should have been a man of affection, and even if he changed his surname now, it should not have changed-but in the past twenty years, I have seen too many things that do not conform to the impression of later generations, and that is not reliable.

The current relationship between Tie Fan Xiu and Takigawa Kazuki is not good, this is mainly related to factional interest disputes, and it has little to do with personal feelings, but it seems stupid to take the initiative to send out a force that could have been held in his hand.

If it was ten years ago, Fanxiu would definitely be as sad and indignant as Keiji in front of him, and he would question Takigawa Kazuyi, and even attribute this negative emotion to Oda Nobunaga's command.

If it had been five years ago, Fan Xiu would probably not have acted rashly and blamed others, but immediately confirmed the inheritance of the Hitori family Nishi-Shiga Castle and raised the adopted son left by his brother to come to power.

But now, he had to start thinking about interests.

As soon as I thought of this, I suddenly felt emotional. Even if it gradually does not get along later, after all, they are brothers-in-law, and they are busy calculating interests and relationships all day long, can't they ignore this time?

Fan Xiu patted Keiji on the shoulder.

"Keiji, ......"

"Uncle."

"The deceased is gone, I grieve with you, but the blame is on Takigawa Palace, I'm afraid it's too much!"

I deliberately said this because I wanted to test the other party's mind. Now that we have made up our minds to support my brother's adopted son to inherit it, we must not neglect the response work in all aspects, and we must also pay attention to the character of the young man in front of him.

"It's not like that!" Keiji, who had just calmed down, had a sad and angry look on his face again, "I told him personally, my father-in-law hasn't come back yet, but that guy from Takigawa Yiyi is bent on retreating!" And I was about to go out to save people, but he stopped me, tied me up, and forcibly brought me back...... These people have seen it! ”

Looking at Keiji's fingers, several soldiers of the Tieshou family who were still alive were all gloomy and acquiesced to Keiji's words.

This is indeed the Takigawa Kazuki I know - Fanxiu thinks so, with a strong sense of fame and impersonal affection. He actually has a good deal with Hisahide Hisashi, or that good old man has a good relationship with most people, but he thinks that rescuing Hisahide may lead to the failure of His Royal Highness and the loss of the army, so he decisively refused.

From the perspective of Pan Xiu and Keiji, Takigawa is certainly hateful. But from the Oda family's point of view, it's different. With a tie, Fanxiu's current position is a little bit of understanding of Takigawa.

While he was thinking, suddenly a bold person ran to Fanxiu and knelt down.

"My lord! Even if you are now the first few people in the Oda family, but Takigawa is similar to you, and it seems impossible to get this justice back, so you should persuade the young hall (Heite Keiji)! ”

"Even then, I'll have to ...... sooner or later"

Fanxiu interrupted Keiji's cursing with a wave of his hand.

"Keiji, don't forget, you used to be the bloodline of the Takigawa family."

The latter stood still as if struck by lightning, and only then did he hang his head and remain silent.

There was an oppressive silence.

After a long time, the child slowly raised his head.

"Uncle, I ......"

"How?"

Fanxiu looked directly at him, trying to see the man's heart.

"I-" Keiji's eyes were red, he gritted his teeth and couldn't speak, and suddenly pulled out a short arrow from the arrow pouch behind him, and folded his hands into two pieces.

"From today onwards, I will no longer have grace with the Takigawa family! The next time someone offends his father, no one will forgive him! ”

Fanxiu nodded silently.

If this is his true words, then it is not a bad thing to let this person succeed his brother.

…………

If Keiji is his own son, or if he is a little older, there is no doubt about the inheritance. However, in the present situation, in the end, the help of external forces, that is, Nobunaga's approval, was sufficient to convince the public. So Pingshou Fanxiu took this nephew and re-entered Cheongju City.

The guards at the gate of the city saw Keiji, but they were very embarrassed, vaguely indicating that it seemed to be a stranger.

"Then let him wait here."

Fanxiu responded lightly.

The two guards questioned the adult, and immediately panicked: "We are also duty, and you have a lot of ......."

In the end, Keiji was allowed to stay outside Honmaru and sent someone to take care of it.

Fanxiu can only meet alone first.

"Your Highness......"

"I heard that the dog is okay?"

Before Fanxiu could speak, Nobunaga interrupted him with a slash.

You're not the only one who has brothers and sisters—Fanxiu said in her heart, but with a satisfied smile on her face: "Yes, fortunately, God and Buddha bless you!" ”

"Hmph, what kind of gods and Buddhas ......" Nobunaga snorted lightly, as if he was very disgusted with these things, "This time the mobilization of 10,000 people returned in vain, what do you think?" ”

"Oh, I'm afraid Mino is not suitable for the enemy, but outwitted."

It stands to reason that he is not in the mood to say this now, but Fanxiu had to suppress the disgust in his heart and answer carefully. Should we say that he has become hypocritical, or should we say that he is more suitable for this era?

"Not bad!"

Nobunaga nodded approvingly, "Gonroku (Shibata Katsuie) only knows how to attack head-on, and Hayashi Sado only knows how to fight for power, and only you and Goro (Niwa Nagahide) can help when it comes to this kind of problem!" ”

"Don't dare."

"So how do you outwit Mino, do you have a belly case?"

"You've already handed over Mino's tweaks to Niwa-sama, so how dare you ask more."

This level of temptation is not new—but perhaps more than temptation.

"Think about it later! Anyway, there is nothing big about it over there. ”

"Yes."

"Go down."

"My lord, there is one more thing to ask for below."

"Speak!"

Oda Nobunaga looked sideways at Fanxiu, not showing an impatient look, but he didn't look too concerned.

"Brother, this joint battle was unfortunately killed, I want to invite this child to ......"

"Hirate Gorou Right (Hisahide's character) is dead?"

Nobunaga interrupted Fanxiu's words, and his face showed a little consternation, which did not look like a fake.

"Yoshibei (Murai Sadakatsu) hasn't sent the list of the dead yet--it's really unexpected......"

Fan Xiu quietly listened to his emotion before saying:

"I hope you can allow my brother to be like Keijiro to inherit the family business."

"Is that the ghost boy?"

"I am flattered by your compliment."

Fanxiu bowed, his body was calm, and he couldn't see the slightest "surprise".

Nobunaga didn't immediately agree, but just asked with a blank face:

"Did the kid bring it?"

"Waiting outside the door."

"Then let him in!"

"Yes."

Fanxiu replied, walked outside Honmaru, and took Keiji inside.

"Although he looks like a martial artist, he's too young!" Nobunaga shook his head and said bluntly, "I think it's more reassuring for me to inherit this territory. ”

This is really the most difficult scenario to deal with, which can neither be accepted, but also may offend him...... Fortunately, Keiji didn't move, and he didn't seem to have any doubts about Fanxiu.

"Lord, haven't you also heard that Keijiro won the name of the ghost boy in the first battle, and the future is limitless, it would be a pity if it was buried. Besides, my brother and I are both of our father's blood, and we are one. ”

Perhaps it was a reference to the relationship between the "fathers", but Nobunaga nodded and agreed.

"Okay!" He looked sideways at Keiji and beckoned him to come over, "How did Gorou Right (Hisahide Hirate) die in battle?" ”

Fanxiu's heart suddenly felt uneasy.

Sure enough, Keiji, who had been calm for a long time, suddenly looked ugly.

"It's all because of ......"

Fanxiu wanted to stop it too late.

…………

After hearing the reason, Nobunaga didn't say anything, but just said to the little surname next to him: "Call me that guy from Kusuke!" "Because Takigawa is in charge of commanding the ninja army directly under him, he generally won't leave Cheongju Castle for too long.

Although the tone was high, Fanxiu couldn't hear any anger.

Keiji first looked hopeful, but in an instant it turned complicated, obviously remembering Fanxiu's sentence "The blood of the Takigawa family".

It didn't take long for this lean middle-aged man to appear.

"Your Highness!"

He bowed straight to Nobunaga and ignored Fanxiu next to him. This is also his attitude as a retainer of Oda.

"Kusuke, have you ever been derelict in your duties as the queen of the palace this time?"

Nobunaga asked slowly.

"Even if there is a dereliction of duty, it is not intentional."

Takigawa replied very carefully.

"Hmm...... So how do you explain the Hirate Gorou Right Hisahide? ”

"The death of the flat hall is very sad below, but this is a helpless thing."

"Nonsense! Obviously you're afraid of death! ”

Qingci couldn't help but interject, and was glanced at by Fanxiu before he could stop.

Oda Nobunaga didn't care about this rude behavior, but went on to ask:

"The Hirate family can be called a generation of loyal martyrs! Kusuke (Takigawa Kazuki) This time, if he is not punished, I'm afraid he won't be able to say it. ”

There was still not much reproach in the words.

Takikawa was stunned for a moment, bowed down and replied:

"Although the Hirate family has a die-hard martyrdom, it is a 'life loyal' in the next. Although die-hard loyalists can be used as a model, in the next way, leaving a useful body, can better serve the hegemony of the lord. ”

This remark is exactly what a pragmatist is thinking.

"Ridiculous!"

Nobunaga threw a folding fan and hit Takigawa in the back, but he never mentioned the punishment again.

In Fanxiu's opinion, this is really normal.

"It is rumored that the edge of the Takigawa Hall is even more than the iron cannon, which seems to be true!"

Fanxiu's sarcasm not only shows disgust, but it is also within the scope of Nobunaga's patience, and it seems that he did not control his emotions, but in fact it was deliberate.

At the same time, he also stretched out his hand and pressed Keiji, who was about to move, to the ground. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) )
