Fast forward to the winter of the 6th year of Motogame (1573), and after the initial settlement of a minor dispute in Omi, the second specific task that Hirate Yoshimitsu encountered in Kyoto was to build a cemetery for Oda Nobunaga.

With Akechi Mitsuhide caught at the Yamato Tsutsui family, Nobunaga's bones were finally saved. The old man stayed in Takaya Castle in Hanoi Province for a while, waited for the commotion in the outside world to subside, and then sent him to Kyoto.

This is another rewarding task, and the chance of getting out of the basket is about zero, and a little bit of decentness can make a big show. Of course, when it comes to actual operation, it is always good to nominally bring Oda Nobutada and Oda Nagayi together. However, everyone knows that the Oda family is guilty of sin, and it is inconvenient to act.

The preliminary decision was to build a pagoda at Honnoji Temple near Kyoto as an official burial place for the bones, which was Nobunaga's favorite residence every time he came to Kyoto, and was also the main mountain of the Nichiren sect Honmonry, which he believed in during his lifetime.

Secondly, some of the Rinzai sects had a good relationship with Nobunaga, and they were the closest sects to the upper class of the samurai throughout the Muromachi period, while the Shingon sect of Koyasan has always had a special religious status in the hearts of the people, and it is impossible to avoid funeral sacrifices no matter what, so it is necessary to build the spiritual temples of these two sects to worship clothes and armor.

Then we can't just focus on Buddhism that came from the Tang Dynasty and ignore the native Shinto. Nobunaga used to pray at Funaoyama Imamiya Shrine when he was in Rakuraku, and he also settled at Rakuto Rice Field Shrine, so it was indispensable to build new branches in these two places. The main sacrifice was made of Nobunaga's sword, bow and arrow.

There must be at least five incense burns, which are the requirements of the tie show, and the rest, as long as it is related, let the son play on his own, act cheaply, the purpose is not afraid of spending more money, but afraid of spending less, so as to show that although he has to draw his sword and fight, he still deeply cares about the old feelings.

And I didn't let Gifu Castle out of it for a penny.

As for Oda Nobutada's construction of several Bodhi temples in Mino and Owari, that was his own business. Anyway, it is impossible for a tie to be so generous.

During this time, Tokugawa Ieyasu wrote five letters to Hirate Honhide—two of which were nominally addressed to Ashikaga Yoshiaki—and finally found the words "If the party is not peaceful for a day, the world will be unsafe after all", and showed it to the ministers on the left and right, and sighed with tears: "Tiger poison does not eat children, but there is no other choice today!" So he ordered Tokugawa Nobuyasu and Tsukiyamaden to commit suicide.

By the way, just three days earlier, after giving birth to several daughters in a row, he finally gave birth to a second and third male heir by a lowly concubine - yes, twin brothers.

In the areas of Suruga, Enoe, and Mikawa, there are stereotypes and bad habits that dislike twins, and they all call it ominous. Tokugawa Ieyasu only took one of them to raise him, and the other announced that he would be sent to the temple to become a monk and would not become a samurai in the future.

Of course, everyone knows that if something unexpected happens, monks and priests can also return to the world at any time.

The Tokugawa family's occupation of the four lower counties of Owari seems to have stabilized without much opposition.

This may have been due to Oda Nobutada's overly deferential behavior, announcing that he would be living in seclusion for three months, and asking Hayashi Hide-sada, Maeda Toshiie, Sasa Narumasa, Hiromasa Ryoda, Mori Nagahide, and others to do the same.

Then the national government was very childish entrusted to Oda Nagashi, the brother-in-law of Hirate Honhide, and his son-in-law Sasa Hidesei. The former, on the other hand, went to Kyoto to discuss Nobunaga's tomb. Yukichiyo also wanted to comfort his mother, so he rarely returned to his parents' home, and Sasa Hidenari was alone in Gifu Castle.

As a result, at this time, a monk with the legal name "Daoqing" came to the door and put forward a report that "the clan Buquan colluded to pursue, forged the account books, privately demarcated the land, and embezzled the territory of the temple".

It was found that the boundaries did not match the account books. Sasahide ordered that the 180 stone temple shrines that had been embezzled should be returned to their original owners, and the same amount of Zhixing land would be confiscated from the clan as punishment.

As for the little priest who is not worth mentioning, he is just a low-level samurai who knows fifty stones and manages more than ten villages, and he intends to be executed directly, and he is not even given the opportunity to cut his stomach.

After all, if you can't be courteous to a commoner, you can't punish a doctor, and for this era, it is also an irreproachable and correct way to deal with it.

The new name of the name of Sasa Hidenari has his father-in-law behind his back, and at this time he may speak more effectively than Oda Nobutada, and theoretically no one dares to disagree.

But the family Buquan immediately complained, saying that the 180 stone land was not privately swallowed, but was promised by the old lord Gongxin elder verbally as a reward.

"Because I hated the temple, I stripped it of half of its territory and gave it to the contemptible people. There was no written evidence at the time, but many people heard it with their own ears. ”

- That's what the family Buquan said.

Indeed, Nobunaga was a man who often acted impulsively, and he hated laws and rules, and was too lazy to leave clear texts, and there were many such things.

There was no way, Sasa Xiucheng could only find some parties to understand.

As a result, some people swore that "Nobu-sama did deprive him of this place and give it to the entire hall of the clan", while others flatly denied it, saying that "there was no such thing at all, and the contemptible people had no impression."

Sasa Xiucheng was greatly embarrassed, anxious, and helpless.

The two sides argued, and finally alarmed the head of the family in the "secluded residence", and the lawsuit went to Oda Nobutada.

Xinzhong was still carrying a string of Buddhist beads at that time, and when he heard this, he folded his hands and sighed: "At this moment, because I am guilty of sin, I can't personally let my father rest in peace, and I am ashamed of being a son of man, and I don't want to hear about his old man disturbing the peace." How about the two of you please take half a step back for the sake of the contemptible face? And the land of the one hundred and eighty stones was divided in two. At the same time, how about taking out 100 taels of money from the public money, and getting 50 taels each, as compensation? ”

Seeing that he was sincere, the two sides took out real money and silver, and they accepted it.

At the same time, Oda Nobutada said: "You might as well rule, but if there is such a dispute in the territory, please file a lawsuit within a month, and then it will not be accepted." ”

Then he said to Sasa Xiucheng: "If you want to completely quell this kind of incident, I'm afraid it will take a lot of money. But Gifu Castle is already stretched thin, so can I entrust you with the help of the Hirate family? ”

In that situation, Sasa Hidesei felt that he couldn't refuse.

……

A few days later, a letter asking for help came, and Hirata saw the description, sighing and laughing.

sighs that Oda Nobutada seems to have changed in a day, and it is really difficult for people to mature without going through the wind and rain. Laughing because the son-in-law is so intelligent, this ghost girl will definitely not be bullied in the future.

……

Besides, Shigeharu Takenaka took the people of Minami Omi to Echizen, and the process was not peaceful.

Originally, during the Ishikawa War, among the remaining parties in Echizen, Asakura Keiken supported the Western Army's Hirate clan, and Asakura Keigami supported the Eastern Army's Oda clan.

Later, Nobunaga died, and the situation in gradually became clear, and Asakura Keiken's side also claimed to be a member of the victors, while Asakura Keigami's side was in chaos without a fight, and the army's morale collapsed.

Shigeharu Takenaka dragged his sick body and entered Echizen according to the order of Hite, although Asakura Keiken was unhappy, he didn't dare to refuse openly, so he could only make small moves.

Asakura Jingjing took the opportunity to pass through Takenaka's way of reji, asking for hope to save his life, and he was officially agreed.

Then Asakura Jingjian could only pinch his nose and agree.

Jing Jing came to Jing Jian's city alone and signed a peace agreement.

But that night, Jing Jing suddenly vomited blood and died violently, and the autopsy suspected that it was caused by poisoning.

This made the atmosphere in Echizen suddenly tense.

Many people were dissatisfied with this blatant rebellion, and spontaneously banded together, taking advantage of Asakura Keiken's panic, to tie him up and capture him, and recommended Shigeharu Takenaka to clean up the situation.

Shigeharu Takenaka claimed that he did not dare to accept it, and sent a letter to Kyoto asking how to decide.

Naturally, it was difficult for Yoshimitsu Hirate to make a judgment, and he handed it over to Hirate Tsuhide.

Tieshou Hoshu replied cleanly: "Since it is expected by everyone, it is naturally our duty to shirk it, and in the future, all the things in Hokuriku will be asked." ”

Yoshimitsu also asked questions along with the letter: "The Bamboo Hall is such a stealing method, why can't it be used against my family?" ”

Fan Xiu taught: "How can the so-called way of adjustment be against the times? It is always the enemy who will centrifuge first, and then be taken advantage of. My generation fought in Mino, and I didn't hear that the Bamboo Hall was against one person, but I saw that the Niwa Hall had repeatedly built special achievements, and it was because Oda was rich and generous at that time, and Saito was poor, so it was. ”

……

There is also news from the western country.

It was Kobayakawa Takakei who sent a letter to Hirate Honhide, saying that now Asai Nagamasa and Ukita Naoya had joined forces and posed a serious threat to the "great righteousness of the world".

The letter provides a detailed analysis of some of the changes in the western country in recent years, and suspects that this Ukita family is behind many intrigues - because he is often the ultimate beneficiary.

It is also implied that Araki Murashige may also be related to the Ukita Naoka.

In the end, it shows that it intends to unite with the draw and attack this big cancer together in the coming year.

……

Speaking of Araki Murashige, there is also an anecdote.

said that he was in the city, made a portrait of the lord of the Tieshou Punishment Department, and asked where the retainers should be hung. Someone suggested that it could be put together with the memorial left by Araki's father's ancestors, but Araki Mura was furious and said, "What a heroic man is Heisama?" The sum of our ancestors is not enough for one-ten-thousandth of his old man's family, how can we talk about the same day? ”

Then a new house was built, with only one portrait installed, and they went in and bowed down from time to time.

When the news spread, everyone despised him, saying that he scolded his ancestors for slapping his beard and slapping horses, which was really shameless. Many people even said that they disdained to sit at the same table with him at the tea party.

However, Araki Murashige's reputation has been blackened into charcoal because of several defections, and he has a lot of debts.

A handful of knowledgeable people have pointed out that this guy is probably deliberately pretending to be a funny fool to reduce the level of threat in the public impression.

……

In Kinai and, except for the mountains that are surrounded by large mountains, Tanba Tango is self-contained and undisturbed by the outside world, and it is the quietest among Wakasa Takeda Motoaki and Kita-Omi Kyogoku Takayoshi. Everyone else is doing their best.

It may be that due to the low degree of centralization, the lower levels are less sensitive to the change of liege.

After Kyogoku Takayoshi sent his daughter to the Heite family, Takeda Motoaki also sent a cousin over, probably for fear of disharmony.

This is a headache for the tie, but it can't be favoritism.
