Hiramori Naga took Yu Qiuping to the second floor of the castle tower, and immediately two more people greeted him. One of them, dressed in blue, was Yusa's religion, and the other in yellow was Naomasa Yasumi, both of whom wore ancient samurai uniforms and spoke in a tone that made Yu Qiuping uncomfortable. These two people had served as the guardians of Hanoi in the history of Yu Qiuping's previous life, and at this moment, looking at Yu Qiuping, who had robbed them of their positions, their faces were naturally not much better. Yu Qiuping knew it in his own heart, so he didn't entangle with them too much, so he continued to walk upstairs.

On the third floor of the castle tower, it was Hatakeyama Masayori, the younger brother of Hatakeyama Takamasa, who came to greet him. In the history of his previous life, he received the character "Zhao" from Ashikaga Yoshiaki and changed his name to Hatakeyama Shotaka. And he married Oda Nobunaga's sister and became a member of the Oda family in Kawachi.

Unexpectedly, Tetori Castle, a small small city, had built a fourth-floor castle tower. Generally speaking, a two-story castle tower in such a small town is almost the same, and a fourth-floor castle tower is too wasteful. However, Yu Qiuping didn't need to ask this time, he knew that this must be according to the old practice of the shogunate, and the castle tower of the Hatakeyama family's residence naturally couldn't be too cold. It's just that for the sake of the so-called face and fame, Yu Qiuping still looks down on Hatakeyama Takamasa in his heart. As the so-called person who knows the times is a handsome man, since the Hatakeyama family has fallen into such an embarrassing situation, they should put down their bodies and try to develop, instead of forcibly pretending to be old shelves and making face projects for the sake of face.

On the fourth floor, Yu Qiupei finally met Takamasa Hatakeyama himself. He is 41 years old this year, and because of the upheaval of the past ten years, he looks even older, and at first glance he is about to be 50. His royal blue noble clothes were a little old, but they were still spotlessly well cared for by him. The hair ornament is still the standard of the samurai's Tsukiyo head, and the corners of his mouth are a rather majestic mustache, and his hair and beard are nearly half white. Although he has been in exile for ten years, his demeanor still reveals a noble and elegant atmosphere - very similar to the temperament of Imagawa Yoshimoto and Imagawa Kaede, which makes Yu Qiuping have some inexplicable kindness.

"In the rainy autumn leaves, I have seen His Highness Hatakeyama." Yu Qiuping honestly performed a great gift that his subordinates had seen his boss, hoping that his humility could be exchanged for the cooperation of Hatakeyama's high political affairs meeting.

However, Hatakeyama Takamasa seemed to take Yu Qiuping's humility for granted, and just nodded silently, and let Yu Qiuping dry for a while, before saying in a rather majestic low voice: "Yu Qiuping, please get up." ”

Yu Qiuping frowned when he heard this, and the dissatisfaction that he had barely suppressed in his heart just now instantly rose again. It's been a long time since anyone called themselves Yuqiuping. In ancient times, it was rude to call the Han people by their first name, and they were generally replaced by a font name, so Yuqiuping has always been called Yuqiu Red Leaves. Generally, only parents call their children by their names, or a high-ranking boss to a very lowly subordinate, and simple superiors and subordinates will not be so rude.

Although Yu Qiuping, as a modern person, doesn't care much about being called by his name, this shows Hatakeyama Takamasa's attitude: You are my humble subordinate, and I just want to call you that.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Yu Qiuping took a long breath, thanked him in a low voice, and then straightened up. Hatakeyama Takamasa didn't seem to have any intention of letting Yu Qiuping sit down, so he let Yu Qiuping stand there and talk to him.

"I don't know when the rain and autumn will be able to clear Hanoi and let me return to Hanoi to calm the hearts of the people?" Before Yu Qiuping could speak, Hatakeyama Takamasa asked first, in a condescending tone from his boss to his subordinates.

"The Miyoshi family is powerful, and I am afraid that I will be invincible, so I specially ask His Royal Highness Hatakeyama to help." Although Yu Qiuping was very dissatisfied with Hatakeyama Takamasa's tone, he still held back his patience and honestly borrowed the slope to get off the donkey.

"Can I help? Why do you ask me for help? However, Hatakeyama Takamasa was enraged, and scolded in a low tone: "Yu Qiuping, you are my retainer, have you spoken to the lord like this?" ”

Yu Qiuping was shocked when he heard this, and his anger had already burned in his heart. Is this Hatakeyama Takamasa really so unsightly? Yu Qiuping sighed, and it was estimated that there was no point in blindly compromising and seeking perfection, so he gave him a nail and said, "His Royal Highness Qiqi, he is a retainer of Oda Danmasa. ”

"You are the guardian of Hanoi, why are you a retainer of Oda Danmasa? You are my retainer! Hatakeyama Takamasa seemed to be even more annoyed when he heard this, and stood up directly from the tatami mat, staring at Yu Qiuping's eyes and scolded.

"Your Highness, please respect yourself." Yu Qiuping has become completely popular, and he has no way to communicate with Hatakeyama Takamasa. He didn't even know what current affairs were, he just thought about the old precedents of the shogunate, and refused to admit the current reality at all. If he insisted that Yu Qiuping was his retainer and needed everything to obey his command, then there might really be no need to talk about it.

"Self-respect? Dead weight? Hmph, hahahaha..."Hatakeyama Takamasa laughed angrily when he heard this, and pointed at Yu Qiuping with his hand: "Yu Qiuping, Yu Qiuping, I heard your comments on the cycle of chaos before, and I think you are a little knowledgeable, but I didn't expect them to be the same as Miyoshi Changqing!" ”

Yu Qiuping's sentence "What are you" almost blurted out, but he couldn't hold back, but changed to another sentence with a strong provocative meaning: "Please advise." ”

"Yu Qiuping, you said that you are the guardian of Hanoi, and I am the guardian of Hanoi, why are you not my retainer?" Hatakeyama Takamasa was not afraid of Yu Qiuping's provocation, and asked directly in a loud voice.

"I am a retainer of the Oda family, how did I become a retainer of His Highness?" Yu Qiuping replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"How come my retainer of the Hatakeyama family is a retainer of the Oda family? Oh no. Hatakeyama Takamasa paused and sneered: "What's even more strange is why Oda Nobunaga's retainer was able to become the guardian of Kawachi?" ”

"Because..."Yu Qiuping was just about to speak, but he was interrupted by Hatakeyama Takamasa with a wave of his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Because Oda Nobunaga has soldiers in his hands, because Oda Nobunaga has hit Kyoto, and because Oda Nobunaga has the Gongfang Hall in his hands, he can give you the position of Kawachi Guardian!" Don't pretend to be righteous, that's just the way it is! ”

Hatakeyama Takamasa's words suddenly blinded Yu Qiuping. He directly uncovered the fig leaf of Oda Nobunaga's coercion with the general, and nakedly pointed out the fact that Akihei's service was coerced by soldiers, but didn't this statement make the Ashikaga shogunate lose face? And if Hatakeyama Takamasa is so realistic, so aware of current affairs, and doesn't leave any face for Ashikaga Yoshiteru and Oda Nobunaga, why do you want to do contradictory things to put on a show?

"Rebellious thieves, do you have anything else to say?" Seeing that Yu Qiuping stopped talking, Hatakeyama Takamasa reprimanded sharply.

"Your Highness, please be cautious, the lord here is determined to help the world, and he is not a careerist like Miyoshi Repair." Yu Qiuping shook his head and defended his position.

"It's all a raccoon dog! When Sanhao Changqing went to Luo, he also said that he was in order to correct the world. When Ouchi Yoshixing went to Luo, he also said that he was Kuangzheng in the world. The result? It's not all for your own benefit! Hatakeyama Takamasa said loudly: "What is the right in the world, what is righteous, is just an excuse for the daimyo to expand his power." I'm not a yellow-mouthed child, who will these words deceive? ”

This Hatakeyama Takamasa doesn't play cards according to the routine! Normally, at such times, it is necessary to seize the moral high ground, and then the two sides play Tai Chi on each other on the fig leaf. Shouldn't an old bureaucrat like Hatakeyama, who lived in the past and attached great importance to face and shelf, know this well? Why is it like a child who doesn't understand the routine, and when he comes up, he will directly break the reality.

"The world is messed up by you rebellious ministers and thieves!" The more Hatakeyama Takamasa spoke, the more angry he became, pointing at Yu Qiuping's arm and trembling slightly, "Ignoring the law and discipline, treating the majesty of the shogunate as nothing, and using swords and soldiers for their own interests, eventually caused this Warring States troubled era!" ”

"Since Your Highness is so clear about the reality, why is he unwilling to put down the shelf with the current affairs." Seeing that Hatakeyama Takamasa said it so bluntly, Yu Qiuping had no intention of continuing to play Tai Chi, but said in a straightforward and deep voice: "The fact is that the Hatakeyama family, with their own ability and powerlessness to fight against the Miyoshi family, must join forces with me to have a chance!" I have soldiers, Your Highness has the prestige of commanding the wealthy families of Hanoi, and if you and I join forces, we will have the hope of defeating the Miyoshi family! Then I came to ask you for help, why are you so disdainful? And why do you have to put it on the shelf? ”

"What's the difference between you and Oda Nobunaga?" Hatakeyama Takamasa hated iron and scolded: "Didn't you also want to defeat the Miyoshi family? Isn't it also unscrupulous for their own interests? I will cooperate with you to conquer Hanoi, won't your Oda family get a piece of the pie in Hanoi? What's the difference between that and Miyoshiya controlling Hanoi? ”

"Your Highness, what do you mean by letting the Hatakeyama family return to Hanoi?" Yu Qiuping laughed, spread his hands and said, "I'll just say it bluntly, with your strength, it's impossible." It's better to be aware of the times. ”

"It's impossible for me to do it, knowing the times doesn't mean being in the same league with the world!" Hatakeyama Takamasa angrily flicked his sleeve robe, pointed at Yu Qiuping's nose and said sharply: "Return to the old system, return to the heyday of the three generations of generals!" All the guardian daimyo have returned to their old lords, and all of them strictly abide by the laws and disciplines of the shogunate, and are not allowed to use swords and soldiers without permission, and order the world with the old rules of the shogunate, and suppress all careerists, so that the world can be peaceful forever! Otherwise, the righteousness of the world and the law and discipline will be despised, Miyoshi Changqing knows current affairs and relies on force to dominate, and the next Oda Nobunaga will also know current affairs and use the same method to dominate! Oda Nobunaga is gone, and there will be a new overlord who understands current affairs, round after round of chaos cycle, and only the masses of sentient beings will suffer! Only by returning to the old rules of the shogunate can the world be completely stabilized! ”

"So I'm from the Hatakeyama family, I, Hatakeyama Takamasa, will never give in, I just don't know the current affairs! It should be the territory of the Hatakeyama family, and no one will be ceded; It should be the etiquette that the Hatakeyama family has, and no step is missing! It should be the shogunate's legal discipline, and no one is allowed to violate it! Let the world return to the way it was when it was peaceful! If all the people in the world are ignorant of current affairs like me, they all keep to themselves, govern their own territory with peace of mind, and do not think about other people's territories, the world will not be in chaos! I won't give Miyoshi Nagakei and Oda Nobunaga the opportunity to disturb the world by careerists who violate the old rules of the shogunate! The cycle of chaos can be ended! ”

"Smack!"

·

Just when Hatakeyama Takamasa was scolding, Yu Qiuping suddenly stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and high-five Hatakeyama Takamasa's outstretched hand - making the latter stunned directly in place.

"I couldn't agree more with what you just said." Yu Qiuping looked at Hatakeyama Takamasa with a smile, "I really agree with you about the part that ends the cycle of chaos. Ending war with war will never bring peace. ”

In the original history, Hatakeyama Takamasa was such a person who was clearly aware of reality, but "did not know the current affairs". He repeatedly confronted the Miyoshi family, and was defeated again and again, all so that the Hatakeyama family could get back their own territory, return to the old rules of the shogunate, and end the cycle of chaos. For this goal, he repeatedly gave up the glory and wealth he had already obtained, and resolutely went to war with the Miyoshi family, and in the end, even his retainers were no longer willing to follow this fool on this road with no end in sight, and exiled him to support his younger brother Hatakeyama Masayori.

And when Hatakeyama Masayori was killed by his retainers, Hatakeyama Takamasa, a fool, did not hold any grudge against his younger brother for usurping the throne, but raised troops for the last time for the sake of the shogunate's ethics and discipline, and investigated Yuzo Nobuyo and others for trespassing by killing the lord without permission. He was also defeated, lost everything, and wandered around until he died.

"Because you're just like me." Yu Qiuping looked at Hatakeyama Takamasa, and saw some relief in his cloudy eyes, "They are all fools who embark on a road that is almost impossible to succeed in order to end the cycle of chaos." ”

"I admire His Highness Hatakeyama very much, but I have a different position, and I regret that I can't cooperate." Yu Qiuping shook his head with great regret, sighed and said, "His Royal Highness Oda will never allow the Hatakeyama family to return to Hanoi, and even if he allows it temporarily, he will find an opportunity to expel you in the future." He just wanted the Oda family to control Hanoi. In the next has always been said to do, so His Royal Highness's request can not be agreed to in the next. ”

People's hearts are not ancient, and the cycle of chaos is controlled.
