According to the plan, Hideho, accompanied by Yamauchi Kazutoyo, Arima Toyo clan, and the Ichigan clan, toured the Ukishimabara and Kite no Hodori, which was also a way to show his authority. Ashiwashi Yoshitsu first even gave his favorites, and dedicated the kite to Hideho as a private garden. In return, Hideho solemnly visited the Asama Taisha Shrine at the foot of Mt. Fuji and prayed for the blessings of the Fuji-gun Ashiarai clan.

Asama Taisha Shrine, whose full name is Mt. Fuji Hongu Asama Taisha, is a shrine located in Fujinomiya City, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. The form is the Shikinai Society, and the old Society is the official currency Taisha. It is the main shrine of about 1,300 Asama Shrines in Japan and the center of the Fuji religion. The shrine is dedicated to Asama Okami to calm fears about the eruption of Mt. Fuji. In 806, a spectacular shrine was built here, and later, in 1604, Tokugawa Ieyasu built the main hall, worship hall, dance hall, and building gate. Until today, the main hall, the coin hall, the worship hall, and the building door still retain the solemn atmosphere of the past, and the main hall is even designated as a national key cultural relic.

When Hideho united with Yamauchi and Arima to sweep Junyuansan, Nakamura was just hiding from Junfu Castle and was in a dilemma, when Omori Osamu summoned all the wealthy clans to resist the Hidebo coalition army on the Oi River, he actually gathered nearly a thousand troops under Omori's instigation, and was ready to send troops to assist Omori Osamu after Ogura Masaneng's mediation failed, but he didn't expect Hidebo to steal the city at night, and before he could send troops, Omori Osamu was defeated and killed. Under these circumstances, when he heard that Hideho had led most of his men and horses across Sunfu to Fujigun, he thought that he wanted to disadvantage him, so he recruited troops, expanded his armaments, and even prepared for the death of the fish.

Hearing this, Su Lao Asakura hurriedly went to Honmaru to meet Nakamura Kazushi despite his serious illness. At this time, Nakamura Kazushi was pacing back and forth in the hall like ants on a hot pot, waiting for news from the ninja in front of him. Seeing Asakura walking into the hall panting with the help of the small surname, Nakamura Kazushi hurriedly stepped forward and asked anxiously: "Lord Bo Qishou, you must know the current situation, now that Shimada Castle has fallen, the letters exchanged with the Omori family inevitably fall into the hands of Da Nayan, plus I and Yamauchi Kazutoyo are fighting openly and secretly, he will definitely go into the slander and fall into the well, the matter has come to this, I can't hide, I have ordered the Kokura father and son to gather peasants and soldiers in various counties and villages, I believe that they can resist for a while, When the time comes, I will ask His Royal Highness the Inner Mansion to mediate, and I believe that Da Nayan will not give His Royal Highness the Inner Palace, right? ”

Looking at the self-deceptive appearance of the Ichichi clan in the village, Asakura was angry and funny, and he asked with a little sarcasm: "My lord, let me ask you, ten days have passed since the Kagawa incident, and Suruga is only a mountain away from the Sagami country led by the Inner Prefecture, if His Royal Highness the Inner Mansion really intended to mediate, he would have sent someone here a long time ago, so why wait until today?" ”

"According to what you mean, His Royal Highness the Inner Mansion is not saved when he sees death?" Nakamura Kazushi felt a little incredible, "After all, the wealthy clans in the Junyuan Sanyi area are all under the control of His Royal Highness the Inner Palace, how can he tolerate Hideho killing them, besides, since I came to Suruga, I have basically established a harmonious relationship with the Edo side, even if I don't care about those wealthy clans, I shouldn't give up a country like myself." ”

Seeing that Nakamura Kazushi was so pretentious, Asakura Zaishige really wanted to laugh: "What kind of harmonious relationship, what kind of acting official of a country, you Nakamura Kazushi is just a dog of Ieyasu at best, why deceive yourself?!" Out of the way, Asakura explained quite tactfully: "As the lord said, the letter with the chief of Omori has now fallen into the hands of His Royal Highness Shizhong, this is irrefutable evidence of the crime, the lord has not forgotten, His Royal Highness Shizhong is to bring down dozens of wealthy families with Nakata Tokimasa to the Omori family, those wealthy families are the efforts of His Royal Highness the Inner Palace, but until then he did not make a move, and now he is in danger as the main father, do you think the situation will be any different?" ”

Although Asakura was very tactful, Nakamura still couldn't hide his embarrassment, scratched his head and looked around, changed the topic: "Don't worry about these for now, in your opinion, what should I do now?" Asakura already repented when he saw Nakamura again, so he took the opportunity to say: "The top priority is to disband the army, and the lord will go to Omiyagi Castle to explain it to His Highness Shichu and ask His Highness for forgiveness." ”

After hearing this, Nakamura slammed his fist on the coffee table, and read angrily: "When I interacted with His Royal Highness the Inner Palace, I was able to use him as a backer and keep my Suruga safe, but I didn't expect that not only did I not get any benefits, but I was treated as an outcast in the face of great trouble, which is really unpredictable." Anyway, then there will be Lauber and the guards will immediately go forward to disband the army, and I will leave for Omiyagi Castle at once. ”

Omiya Castle was originally a village town formed by the gathering of merchants and craftsmen under the Asama Taisha Shrine, but due to the gradual increase in the number of believers worshipping the great god of Asama, and the proximity to the Kanto Hachishu, it is a key point for east-west exchanges, so the Ashiwashi family saw the opportunity and built the castle according to the situation after Ieyasu moved to the Kanto region.

When Nakamura Kazushi arrived at Omiyagi, Hideho had just returned from a visit to the shrine, and although he despised Nakamura's virtues, it was rude for him not to see him, so Hidebo met him in Honmaru Ashisai's private tea room.

Since he had just finished worshipping the god Asama, Hideho was still wearing a black hat and a light purple gown lined with dark blue gauze pleats, full of the dress of a princess and nobleman. As soon as Nakamura entered the door, he saw Hideho in a dress, and then he subconsciously looked at himself, and before he could speak, he already felt three points shorter than him. According to the regulations of the Japanese court, in terms of dressing, the princes, kings and Yipin's clothes are dark purple, and the pleats are dark green; The second and third grades are light purple, the fourth grade is dark crimson, the fifth grade is light crimson, the pleats are all dark blue yarn, and there is no dress below the sixth grade. Nakamura is just a Shikibu Shaofu from the bottom of the five, and the rank is respectful and low, and the judgment is made from the lowest.

Hideho could see that Nakamura was already afraid of him, and in order to increase the bargaining chips in this negotiation, Hideho first asked: "His Highness Shikibu came down just in time, and on the way to pay homage to the Asama Okami, I heard that His Highness was expanding his army in Sunfu Castle and purchasing weapons, and I couldn't understand it for a long time, I wonder if His Highness can explain this when he came this time?" ”

Nakamura Ichishi didn't expect Hideho to get straight to the point, as soon as he came up, he grabbed his handle, and he sighed in his heart, and he was a little sluggish, so he replied with a slight stammer: "The humble post came to explain this matter, His Royal Highness didn't know, when the traitor Omori Jicho rebelled, in order to prevent the humble duty from attacking His Royal Highness, he sent a large number of troops to garrison the west of Junfu City to monitor. In order to prevent accidents, the lowly position called the peasants and soldiers in the city, so His Highness's words about expanding the army and purchasing weapons are all for the needs of defense, and there is no other intention, and His Highness is asked to be aware of it. ”

Seeing that Nakamura Kazushi could sweat profusely on a cold day, Hideho really couldn't bear to tease him, but for the established purpose, he still had to continue to press.

Seeing that he finished speaking, Hideho slowly took out a dozen letters from under the table, threw them on the table, and stared at Nakamura deadly. Although he had thought of this situation for a long time, but the moment he saw the secret letter, Nakamura Kazushi was still quite shocked, in the face of iron-clad facts, he knew that no matter how much justification was in vain, at this moment, he was like a deflated ball, listless and even a little desperate and said: "Since His Highness already knows the truth, then there is nothing to say about the humble position, and what kind of punishment should be received depends on His Highness." ”

"His Royal Highness Shibu's raising troops to contain the main force of the rebels is a great achievement, how can he punish it?" Hideho said as he flipped through the letters, "All of the letters written by His Highness to Osamu Omori have been found in the next one, and these letters are enough to prove His Highness's 'merits', and he will report this matter to Taiko, but I heard that His Highness is not a person who is greedy for merit, so it is up to His Highness to decide whether or not these 'merits' will be reported to the authorities." ”

Hearing this, Nakamura Kazushi understood that this Xiubao wanted to threaten himself, but even so, what could he do? Nakamura immediately knelt down in front of Hideho and replied "modestly": "Such a great achievement, I really dare not accept it, so I will not bother His Highness to report to the Taiko, and the future will be long, and in the future, the lowly post will continue to perform his duties and swear allegiance to the Taiko and His Royal Highness." ”

"Since His Royal Highness Shibu is so indifferent to fame and fortune, he has no choice but to make it difficult." Hideho smiled and said, "By the way, in order to better support His Highness in governing Suruga, I will compile a letter of your achievements in the defeat of the rebels with our side, and when I go to Edo, I will also hand it over to His Highness the Inner Mansion and other great names for a look, hoping that Your Highness's samurai model will be admired by more samurai." ”

Now, Nakamura finally knows that he has no way out, Ieyasu has abandoned him, and now the only way out is Hidebo. Walking out of Omiyagi, looking back at the majestic Mount Fuji, Nakamura Kazushi was already speechless, he used Hideji as a backer earlier, and finally almost got implicated, and made Ieyasu a backer, but was finally abandoned, and now he has to take this eighteen-year-old Da Nayan as a backer, what will be the result?
