In addition to government affairs, the people of the Heishou family are not idle in the boudoir. A few days after returning to Kishiwada Castle, Adai, the side room of Xinna, became pregnant last year, adding three points of joy.

This made Adai's uncle, the big boss of Tennoji House, Tsuda Munekoka, blossom.

At the same time, at the urging of Ishiyama's mother, Rushunni, Hirate Honhide announced the construction of a large new town at the entrance of Lake Biwa to the Seda River, named "Seta Castle", and granted it to his son Yoshimitsu and ordered him to use it as a base to officially govern the land of Yamashiro and Minami Omi. And Miss Saori of the Honganji family will move over with great fanfare as the wife of the lord of the castle. Hence the name "Seta Temple".

The castle was intended to be the largest castle in the vicinity as a deterrent to Kyoto, a key point for land and water transportation, and to prevent the eastern region from invading the hinterland of the Hirate family.

It was not necessary to purchase all the building materials, but to demolish more than 30 small towns in Yamashiro, Omi, Kawachi, and Yamato, and collect them for recycling. This is not only to save money, but also to eliminate the independence of the people everywhere.

According to the idea of the Hirate Honhide, the Ministers and Youbi drafted a "Castle Preservation Order" after the "land inspection", "sword hunting" and "retainers gathering", stipulating that in the future, no one shall build a castle without permission in the territory, and if the existing castle is judged to be unnecessary, it will be gradually demolished, and if it is really necessary, it will be regularly inspected and supervised for maintenance.

This decree will not be explicitly implemented for the time being, but similar ideas will be reflected in the process of governance.

Men always think so worldly and don't mention it, but mothers don't think so much. Honganji's Nyūharuni visited Kishiwada Castle one after another, and the head mother of the Heite family was often invited to Ishiyama as a guest, and she urged Yoshimitsu to take the time to attend and carefully discuss the family problems of her children.

During this meeting, Rushunni adopted the honorific title of "Inu-Gozen", which was considered a very appropriate etiquette by the people of, and has been widely spread ever since. The dignified and generous scene of the two women was praised by one of the maids attending the meeting and relayed to the painter Hasegawa and other uncles, who created a highly rated work of art based on the imagination of the language, and after presenting it, it was highly appreciated, and Hiteshu said: "The other uncle is talented, although he learned from the Kano school, he can be said to be out of the blue." ”

In a word, this foreigner from Hokuriku was elevated to the same or even better than the famous master Kano Eitoku.

In fact, how can a tie show understand art so well? It's nothing more than when I used to play games, I learned the names of three artists, Kano Eitoku, Hasegawa and other uncles, and Benami Mitsuyue.

The last one is still a young man, and I haven't heard anyone talk about it for a while. The first two must be no problem to blow casually, after all, they are the names of people who have stood the test of history!

As for whether Kano Yongde will be unconvinced when he hears this, he will secretly hold back his big move at home, this is not something that Hisho Tsuhide will consider.

Because he met with Honganji Shunru for several days, he only spent less than half an hour discussing details such as the marriage of his children, and his main focus was on discussing the military and political situation in Hokuriku.

When the Ise Kitabatake was swallowed in a tie, a large number of people in the countries shouted and killed, most of them did not take action or only acted weakly, but Uesugi Kenshin was both public and private, and used land and water to attack the local Ichisuzu and Noto places respectively, and struck at the local Ichisuzu forces.

The contradiction between the two sides has been coming from a long time, and in the past, in order to check and balance Takeda, they tried their best to mediate, but now the situation has changed, and there is no one in the middle to make peace, and it can no longer be stopped.

At the beginning of the year, there was a battle in Hokuriku, and at that time, the famous general of Honganji Temple, Sugiura Genren, led the members of the Ichiyi Gang to unite Shiina and Jimboh to win five consecutive battles and five victories, and expelled the invaders from Echichu.

However, after the autumn, Uesugi made a comeback, taking advantage of the pride of the crowd and choosing a date when heavy rain and firearms were inconvenient to use, and won a great victory by deceitful defeat and luring the enemy, beheading thousands of people.

After all, the crowd is a rabble that has expanded rapidly, congenitally bad, without a clear leader, and there are many disputes between monks and laymen in different regions, and they can cooperate with the wind and fashion, and they will completely collapse after defeat.

Standing on the position of Honganji Temple, it is not necessarily happy to see the rapid expansion of the Hokuriku Ichijo Sect, but it is definitely not happy to see being beaten up. Although it is not directly related to the stake, it is directly related to prestige.

No ruler wants to be seen as a loser.

Especially if this kind of family business is special, and it is impossible to show off its talents when it is alive, it pays more attention to the name behind it.

But he himself really didn't have the time to take care of that far, so he asked for help from the draw.

Heite Honhide's response was to send a batch of money and supplies, and in the name of the shogunate, he invited Echizen Takenaka Shigeharu and Asakura Keiken, and at the same time exerted diplomatic pressure to demand that Hida's sister and Eima forces stop supporting Uesugi.

Honganji Kenru believes that such support is not enough.

Hirate replied, "Kinai is not yet secure, and it will be difficult to convince the retainers to launch a campaign far away in Hokuriku where it is difficult to obtain land interests." There are still many people who persuade me to borrow the Nankai Road as soon as possible to pacify the chaotic Kyushu! ”

This is, of course, the standard excuse.

It is not so much that it is "difficult to convince the retainers" as it is "difficult to convince oneself".

Unless Honganji makes some concessions, such as relinquishing the autonomy of some of the former monasteries in Kinai, that is a different matter.

That would be tantamount to cutting off the interests of the trunk to make up for the losses of the branch, and the branch may not be obedient.

Standing in the position of Ishiyama, there is something that is not very acceptable.

No matter how miserable Hokuriku is, the blow to Honganji Xianru is mainly a false name. False fame cannot be said to be unimportant, and it is certainly not as important as real profit.

As for talking about Kyushu, that's the truth.

The heroes of the four countries, led by the head of Chomune and my department, were aroused by the flat hand to covet Higo, Bungo and other places, and gradually swelled and became difficult to contain.

Who told the Otomo family to occupy the fertile land, but they were unlucky and defeated in successive battles? It's a sin. In addition, Otomo Yoshijin has repeatedly intervened in the affairs of the four countries under the pretext of a concurrent agreement, which has also caused public outrage.

In addition, it is not all a pretext to say that "Kinai is not safe enough".

The specific explanation is very simple - in the "Three Heroes of Instinct Temple" that made trouble back then, only Akechi Mitsuhide left a bloody corpse, which looks very similar, I don't know if it's really dead, and there is no way to verify DNA or anything in these years.

Shibata Katsuie and Kinoshita Hideyoshi are probably still alive!

For more than half a year, through Takigawa Kazuki and Tsugawa Yoshitoshi attacking each other, they pursued a lot of people suspected of being connected with the rebellious party, and under torture, it was found that some were wronged and some were true, and some of the chicken and dog thieves who had secretly supported Nobunaga were also dug up along the clues, but the big fish never showed up.

It's never reassuring.

Thinking about it again, since the two of them are still alive and can't be found, there is a big possibility that they have been protected by some forces.

After all, Tieshou Tsutsu Xiu is still far from the rightful lord of the world, if it weren't for Takigawa Kazuki and Tsugawa Yoshitoshi reporting each other, there would be no way to search people's homes.

Then, on this basis, further speculation shows that if it is an enemy from abroad, such as Uesugi and Takeda, they shelter Shibata and Kinoshita, and there is no need to hide it.

In this way, it shows that there are ambitious people in the province who have ill intentions and do not miss the slightest step.

Isn't it dangerous?

How can I still have the energy to go on an expedition?

Hirata even "quietly" revealed that he insisted on crusading against Kitabatake, just to suspect this, but it was inconvenient to say it explicitly.

The truth of Honganji Temple sounded very fresh.

Every step of the process seems reasonable, but when they are connected, there is always something wrong.

It's a pity that he was born in a temple since he was a child, and he doesn't know much about grassroots practice, so he can't grasp the key point of the problem.

If Yoriren Shimoma is here, he will definitely be able to point out that it is more likely that someone is not deliberately sheltering, but that Shibata, Kinoshita, and others may be living in seclusion in a disdainful village where the will of the central government is difficult to implement.

Xianru didn't think about this for a while, he could only pretend to be calm and smile and said: "Now the world is quiet is the desire of the people, even if there are a few small troubles, it is just a mantis arm as a car, how can it detract from your great cause in the slightest?" If there is ambition and nothing to do, the contemptible sect will definitely support the peace of the family. ”

Tie Fan Xiu naturally said that he didn't dare to be.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, or if it's a prophecy, but in the morning, I just finished saying this, and in the afternoon, I received news that it was centered on Nagashima, and Ise, Owari, and Shima were involved in turmoil!

It is unclear who is responsible, but it is said that Honda Tadashikatsu, Takigawa Kazuki, Oda Nobutaka and others were involved, and that the Ichijo sect adherents at Nagashima Kanshoji Temple also clearly played an important role.

Honganji was suddenly embarrassed.
