Entering the palace, he couldn't bear Yamauchi's push, so Hideho sat down on the main seat, and Yamauchi Kazutoyo and his retainers and wealthy families lined up on both sides. After you were seated, Hideho explained to them the purpose of this eastward trip: "I think you all know that this time I am going to Aizu on the order of Taiko to go to Aizu to deal with the turmoil of the Gamo family, which has nothing to do with you, but there is no way, the road is long, the boat is tired, and I have to spend the night at Tsushimamori, there is any disrespect, and I ask His Highness Yamauchi and you to forgive me." ”

Seeing that Hideho was so modest, the impression of everyone present on him suddenly changed, and Yamauchi Kazutoyo wanted to seize the opportunity to have a good relationship with Hideho, shaking his head like a wave drum, and said with sincere fear: "His Royal Highness Waiting's visit to Kagawa is a fortunate thing for Dongsanhe, why be disrespectful, if you are not well entertained, I want to ask Your Highness for forgiveness." ”

As far as pomp and circumstance are concerned, Yamauchi Kazutaka has done a good job, giving himself enough face, and Xiubao is still very clear about this, besides, he is only staying for a night, and he doesn't want to waste money too much and leave a bad impression on the wealthy people here, so he naturally won't be demanding. Looking at Yamauchi's submissive appearance, if I didn't know that history, I guess I would have been moved by his attitude.

"Now with him has not reached the point of tearing his face, the business is important, everything is still precious." Hideho thought so in his heart, and he was going to do it, and just as he was about to say a few more words to Yamauchi and leave the table to rest, a man who flaunted himself walked into the palace noisily.

This person has a dark complexion, a scruffy beard, and a burly figure, but he is a little shorter, and he looks like one meter six, although so, the pace is very fast, and after a while, he walked in front of Hideho, and after a little salute, he squeezed the five vines on the opposite side of the mountain to the side, and sat on the left hand side of the chief.

Seeing that this person did not bow down with him, Hideho was already a little unhappy in his heart, and then this person's rude behavior towards the head of the Yamauchi family, the old Goto, made Hideho even more angry, but out of consideration for Yamauchi's emotions, Hideho was still very modest while pointing at this person and deliberately asked Yamauchi Kazuto: "Your Highness Yamauchi, please forgive me for taking the liberty of being down, I wonder if this adult is your chief family elder Goto?" ”

Yamauchi Kazutoyo was already embarrassed, and just as he wanted to answer, the man rushed to Hideho and said: "Your Highness, this person next to me is Lord Goto, and I am Kagatsuka Castle Lord Kaga Tadashi." ”

"Kaga Tajutsu Tadasumi?" Hideho shook his head slightly, saying that he hadn't heard of it, which made the lord of Kaketsuka Castle a little embarrassed, only to see him glaring at Yamauchi, Yamauchi explained to Hideho in a panic: "Your Royal Highness, Kaga Claw is from the famous family of the Uesugi clan, and has inherited the ancestral official position of the Ministry of Civil Affairs Daisuke for generations, so it is commonly known as the Kaga Claw Minbu, and this Lord Tadasumi is the important minister of the Tokugawa Inner Palace, and he is very important to His Royal Highness the Inner Palace." ”

Speaking of which, Hideho finally understood that this was the spokesperson who stayed in the Higashienjiang after Tokugawa Ieyasu retreated to the Kanto region, no wonder Yamauchi Kazutoyo was so respectful, presumably it was up to him to control the local wealthy family.

Xiubao patted his head and pretended to be suddenly enlightened and said to Kaga Tadasumi: "I think about it, the ancestor of the adult is the famous Imagawa Fan Masa... Yuko Uesugi Masada, right? ”

In fact, it is true that the Kaga-claw clan has been passed down from Imagawa Nomasa, but Tadasumi does not want to know that their ancestors are the children of the Imagawa family, because their Kaga paws have betrayed the Imagawa family and become important ministers of the Tokugawa family; Not to mention Yuko, in the Warring States Period, Yuko's identity was only higher than the hostage but lower than the adopted son, which was not a glorious thing in itself, seeing Hideho tearing his fig leaf to shreds, this Kaga Paw Minbu suddenly became angry, and looked at Yamauchi Kazutoyo angrily, thinking that it was all his sentence "from the famous family of the Uesugi family" that was the fault, and then turned his face to look at the surrounding Yamauchi retainers and the small wealthy clans, if he had nothing to do and laughed and exchanged ears, or he couldn't help laughing, which completely made him lose face. Especially the retainers of the Yamauchi who were bullied by him, they pointed at him in a grand manner, and laughed shamefully in front of him without any scruples, presumably thanking Hideho for speaking out for them.

How could Kaga Claw Zhongcheng, who had been in the Yuanjiang River for so many years, endure such a big insult, plus this person has always been outspoken and open-mouthed, so he turned his back to Xiubao and scolded the whole house: "Don't laugh, what's wrong with the Yuzi, wasn't Taige still the Yuzi of the Juting family at the beginning?!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall was in an uproar, no one expected that Kaga Claw would be so arrogant that he dared to use Taiko as his shield, not to mention that Hideho was still sitting in the hall.

Yamauchi Kazutoyo was already so frightened that he sat on the ground at this time, looking at Hideho in horror, for fear that he would sue himself when he returned to Beijing, but at this time, he still looked at Kaga Paw with a kind face, and he didn't seem to blame him at all, which made Yamauchi feel a little more comfortable.

"Kaga-sama," Hideho shouted in a calm tone, "It's a little inappropriate for you to compare His Highness Taiko?" ”

Kaga Claw thought that Xiubao was shocked by the facts he said, and he was unforgiving, so he turned his face to Xiubao and said: "I'm not afraid of His Highness's blame, I'm just telling the truth, I've been under His Royal Highness the Inner Mansion for more than ten years, and it is precisely because of this uprightness that I can obtain the identity of the pedigree, does His Highness like to tell lies?" ”

Xiubao lowered his head and snorted coldly: "Since you have no remorse, I can't keep you." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Shima Kiyoxing, who was standing beside Hideho, quickly took a step forward, drew his saber from his waist and slashed at Kaga's claws, and before everyone could react, his head flew out of the palace and rolled under the porch.

Seeing this scene, the hall was suddenly in chaos, Yamauchi Ichitomo was so frightened that he crawled towards the corner of the wall, and the retainers of the Yamauchi family were desperately protecting Ichitoyo, some of the wealthy families fled towards the door in panic, and some ran to the porch to get their sabers back, turned around and walked into the house and walked towards Xiubao.

"Presumably it's a wealthy clan pro-Tokugawa and a retainer of Kaga Paw, so it's really immortal." Xiubo said coldly. These people are the opponents of Shima Kiyoxing and Maeda Keiji, the two of them are one left and one right, one knife and one knife, and it will not take long to exterminate all these more than ten people. At this time, Hidebo's horses also arrived in time under the leadership of Nasu Zikichi, and they surrounded the palace and captured all the wealthy clans who had fled earlier.

At Hideho's request, the tycoons were forced to sit back in place along with Kazutoyo Yamauchi, a strange smile flashing across Hideho's face as they looked at the corpses and bloodstains that littered the room. He said to everyone in the hall: "Xiubao has frightened you, things have developed to this point is not what I want to see, if you want to blame Kaga Tadashi Tadashi without a big house, arrogant, bullying colleagues, and not following the rules." Your Highness Yamanuchi, are you right? ”

Yamauchi Kazutoyo was already incontinent at this time, reclining in Goto's arms, seeing Hideho's question, he hurriedly supported himself, and replied tremblingly: "What His Highness said is extremely true, this Kaga Claw Tadasumi relied on his relationship with the Tokugawa family and his status in the local wealthy family, wantonly bullying lowly and lowly retainers, His Highness has served us and others justice, and there is really no retribution for his humble duties." ”

Seeing that Yamauchi Yifeng understood his painstaking efforts, Hideho nodded with satisfaction, stood up, and said to the leader of the Xiaohao clan under the hall: "This land of Yuanjiang has long been under the direct jurisdiction of Taige, but to this day there are still people who are not satisfied with Wang Hua who are trying to rely on the old power to fight against Taige, and the traitor Kaga Claw Zhongcheng is the first offender, as for the accomplice, I will not pursue it for the time being, I just hope that you will do it yourself, and think clearly about who issued the security block in your territory, and whose country is this Yuanjiang." I also hope that you will work with one heart and one mind, repay the grace of Taige's acquaintance, and create peace for all generations! ”

"The ministers will listen to His Highness's teachings, and swear to follow His Highness Taige, if there is any deviation, people and gods will abandon it!" A group of wealthy people bowed to the feet of Hideho and swore in horror.

"Very well," Hideho raised his hand and motioned for them to get up, "I hope you will remember your oath, I don't want such a thing as Kaga Claw to happen again, and as for the territory of these rebellious and wealthy clans, please ask Yamauchi-sama to sort it out a little, report it to Taiko, and include it in the hidden land." ”

Yamauchi Kazutoyo quickly nodded in agreement, and Hideho stepped on the blood stains and corpses all over the ground and walked out of the palace, feeling the bright sunshine, stretching comfortably, and after saying "You have worked hard" to the people next to him, "You have worked hard", and then walked towards Honmaru's bedroom. yes, it's time for a good rest......
