Hirate Honhide left Kyoto at the end of the first month and returned to Mino to reunite with his family. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 After arriving in Gifu Castle, he spent more than ten days finishing up and waiting for his family to pack up, so when he set off again, it was already late February.

By the time he passed through Yamashiro again, it was almost March. All the forces invited to the "annual meeting" had already left Beijing and returned, and many of the Oda family's guards returned to their posts one by one, and the temporary prosperity gradually calmed down.

However, Nobunaga himself is still in Kyoto. The 15,000 troops he brought with him from Gifu Castle naturally followed him to protect him.

Fifteen thousand men, happily receiving their salaries, were stationed outside Luo for two months, but they did not fight any enemy. As time passed, such a large and unclear army made everyone in Kyoto feel a little panicked and suspicious.

At first, Jong Xiu didn't notice this. Even a retainer mentioned a few words intentionally or unintentionally, but he didn't pay attention to it, just thinking that Nobunaga's guy was going to do some large-scale project or military parade or something.

It wasn't until someone from a higher level came to inquire that he realized the seriousness of the situation.

The "higher-level people" include the old servants sent by Yamashina Yanji, the envoys sent to him by the merchants of Kaimachi, and the monks who followed the path of Toriya Soyi and came to the door with a cheeky face.

These people of different identities all did the same thing, which shows that Nobunaga's unscrupulous and hard-line style has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the 15,000 people who are idle in Kyoto have made all forces uneasy.

However, the reason for this is completely unclear! He could only ask questions and visit the camp of the Oda Army.

Anyway, passing by is also passing by, so it is always wrong to say that it is to come to meet Nobunaga.

So he came to the military formation in the suburbs of Luowai.

Then, of course, did not see Nobunaga himself, because he was meeting with the big man in Kyoto.

The temporary camp was guarded by Nobunaga's biological brothers, Nobunaga and Nobuko, who had no friendship with them, and it was impossible to deliberately deal with them out of suspicion, so he walked out without saying a word, and he didn't even know where Nobunaga had gone.

However, the original target was not these two strict ones, but other servants who liked to tell the truth.

Like what......

Pingshou Fan Xiu slowed down in the military tent, and at the same time looked around, and sure enough, before he walked a few dozen meters away, a heavily armed officer let out a "huh" of surprise, walked forward quickly, and shouted at the same time:

"Isn't this a tie-sama? It's been a long time since I've seen you! ”

This man was tall, with gorgeous armor, with a famous sword, standing straight, striding with a majestic appearance, like a peacock in a flock of chickens. He is none other than his former colleague, the younger brother of the Maeda Toshiie, the adopted son of the Sakyo clan, and Yoshiyuki Sakyo Tohachiro, who has been Nobunaga's close attendant for more than ten years.

Although he pays more attention to etiquette on the surface and does not act like Meng Lang, he is similar to Hasegawa Hashisuke and Kato Yazaburo in his bones, they are all "honest people" who have no political sensitivity at all and have different thoughts and ideas from ordinary people. So he has also not been promoted, and he is still happy to be a naked mother. (See Chapter 79 of this volume)

Fan Xiu bowed slightly to him, which was regarded as a return gift, and then the two walked side by side, chatting at the same time.

"Fujihachi, your decoration is really good, it seems that you have made a fortune?"

"Is this ......" the corners of Saxie Ryozhi's mouth curled, and there was a smug look on his face that he tried his best to hide but was still obvious, "Although the talent below is not as good as yours, but there are also years of blood and sweat, and there is always some accumulation." At the beginning of the year, I happened to meet a sufficient merchant in Nanban, and I think this is indeed the place to spend money......"

In my words, this is spent hundreds of dollars to buy the "Nanban Sufficient", not only beautiful, but also very practical, after wearing this, the bamboo guns and arrows of the general peasant soldiers can be ignored.

I don't know what to say about this.

It is only natural that the samurai always put the battle first. But since Oda Kamiraku, everyone has been so active that I don't know how many people who can't beat them have come to him and want to ask for a good job. But this Sakyo Ryoyuki, as a mother-clothed person, can see Nobunaga himself for at least 300 days a year, but he doesn't have any other thoughts, and still only cares about things about battlefield killing.

Maybe this is a very rare "original intention". Although it may not be advisable in all contexts.

After a few words of greeting, Fan Xiu quipped as if unintentionally: "Anyway, you have been stationed here for two months with the lord, right?" The girls in Gifu Castle are looking forward to it, right? ”

Although the words are a joke, they also have some factual basis. Saxie Ryoyuki is indeed a beautiful man, otherwise with his background, he would not have been chosen by Nobunaga as his personal companion at all.

"Ahem...... You are ...... to say this" The beautiful man was a little embarrassed when he heard this, pretended to cough a few times, and then said casually: "There is no war to fight, and the lord has strictly ordered that he must not be presumptuous in Kyoto, and his life is indeed a little boring. Alas, I used to think that 'Gongfang-sama' was a clay puppet, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult to gnaw......"

Hearing this, Fan Xiu's eyes lit up, but he still replied quietly: "What are these words?" Why do you still have anything to do with the princess? What nonsense are you talking about! ”

"I'm not talking nonsense." Zuo Xieliangzhi didn't realize that he was there, and immediately retorted, "I have followed the lord to the palace four times this month, and every time he comes out, his old man is angry, and everyone dare not come out...... Fortunately, I am not on duty today, so I will not lose my temper. ”

“…… In this way, it is hard for me to imagine that the princess dares to anger the lord, and I don't know what issue they are arguing about. ”

"That's right, I'm also curious about what the two adults talked about, it seems to have something to do with the Ise Kitabatake family, because the lord scolds them every time he leaves the palace...... Ah, that's it, I'll send it not far away, I wish you prosperity in the country of Hequan. ”

"Haha, Sakyo-sama, you are the same."

……

Farewell to him, he walked out of the tent and made peace with his attaché.

Since Nobunaga was not summoned, he should not take the initiative to send it to the door to be scolded. Anyway, from Sa's words, I have got enough content.

The Ise Kitabatake family, that's a matter on another front, and it's not worth paying too much attention to. In addition, Ise Sadako did not send any news, which also explained that he could not get involved in this matter.

Just in case, he instructed the "intelligence services" to pay a little attention.

However, only two days later, before he could get any news from his family, he first received a letter from Ise Sadako. The letter gave a general account of what had happened in the Imperial Palace, and claimed that the situation was out of control today, and asked for the mediation of Hite.

It turned out that the dispute between Oda and Ashikaga was over the handling of the Ise Kitabatake family.

It is said that Nobunaga's army entered Ise in the past two years, so that the famous Kitabatake family was unable to fight, and the only way to make peace was to sue for peace. And Nobunaga's condition was that his second son, Cha Shimaru, would be admitted to the Kitabatake family, and one yuan would inherit the family business.

This matter was already a foregone conclusion, and the Kitabatake family gritted their teeth and accepted it, but when it came to the shogunate, something went wrong.

At Nobunaga's "annual meeting", the current governor of the Kitabatake family, Gubo, also went to Kyoto to meet with the Shogun and explain the current situation. And Ashikaga Yoshiaki was particularly concerned about this matter.

In terms of virtual affairs, the Kitabatake family is a famous family that has lasted for many years, and its reputation is very high, but now it has been usurped, which makes Yoshiaki inevitably give birth to the sadness of the rabbit and the fox, and the feeling of hurting it.

On the other hand, the Shogun is also frightened by the continuous expansion of the Oda family, and hopes to take action to curb it.

In addition, although Kitabatake did not take the initiative to support Yoshiaki as a general, he did not come out to oppose it, and it was Nobunaga's covetousness of his territory that prevented them from participating in the great cause of Kamirak. So Yoshiaki doesn't have any ill feelings towards him.

Of course, it is impossible for Ashikaga Yoshiaki to restore the territory of the Kitabatake family in a single sentence, and although the face of the shogun is worth some money, it is not as valuable as more than 200,000 stone in the five counties of Minami Ise.

Therefore, Yoshiaki proposed that the shogunate recognize the status of Oda Cha Shi Maru and promised to give Ise the position of guardian in the future, but asked Cha Shi Maru to also include the baby boy of the Kitabatake family as his heir after the service of the tea Xiao Maru, and return the bloodline. Nobunaga said that he did not accept this at all, and even ironically Yoshiaki was whimsical. Yoshiaki threatened to "grant the Ise guardian to others", and the two sides parted unhappily.

A few days later, after all, the shogunate sent people under the fence, and it was difficult to keep tough, so he lowered the conditions, hoping that Oda would make a promise that "he would not force Lieutenant General Kitabatake to retire and wait for him to die, or leave office on his own and be succeeded by Oda Chamaru", but Nobunaga still refused.

In the third contact, Ashikaga Yoshiaki softened his attitude again, agreeing that Oda Cha Whisk Maru Motofu could succeed to the throne at any time, and only asked that the former minister Toriya Ao Mitsuei continue to serve as the old man of the pen head family and the Fu servant. However, Nobunaga still disagreed, claiming that Oda Tadahiro and Fujikata Asanori had been selected as assistants.

Oda Tadahiro is a member of the Oda family, and Fujikata Asanori is a former Kitabatake retainer who was rebelled by Oda's rebellion, and the position of these two people can be imagined.

Lowering the price three times in a row, he was still refused, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki was also a little angry, so he insisted on this condition and refused to relax, and resolutely refused to recognize Oda Cha Shimaru's inheritance of the Ise guardian service.

Then Nobunaga became angry, and there was a tense atmosphere in the palace.

So Ise Sadako, so he hurriedly sent a letter to ask Hirate Tsunohide to try to mediate.

……

In this regard, Fan Xiu also felt very nerve-wracking. I finally avoided the minefield of shallow well according to the memory of my previous life, but I didn't expect to hit the reef in Kitabatake.

The Dark Shame Company is really, why didn't you put this in the game to talk about it?

Now Oda's situation is far from stable, and the consequences of falling out with the shogunate are unpredictable.

Fanxiu has been worried about this for a day and night, and he can't sleep at night.

But the next day, I received another letter, again written by Ise Sadako.

The letter said that the matter had been settled, and in the end Nobunaga won.

And what prompted Yoshiaki to soften was Akechi Mitsuhide.

It is said that after Nobunaga left the palace with a look of uncertainty that day, Akechi Mitsuhide asked the shogun to move to a temple in the name of worshipping the Buddha. Then, without knowing what was going on, when Yoshiaki returned, he accepted Nobunaga's request in its entirety.

I only vaguely heard from the people in the temple that there was a fierce quarrel between Wise and Gongkata-sama in the small room, and even the sound of a sword being drawn could be heard.

After reading this letter, Fan Xiu sighed heavily.

It's settled, but it doesn't make people feel better at all.

Even today, although the sky is generally clear, the expanding dark clouds cannot be ignored in any way.
