Chapter 468: The Tokugawa Family's Conspiracy

The conference passed in the morning, continued in the afternoon, and at noon we ate a few rice balls, and it was a whole day.

After establishing a clear goal, the Hosokawa family began to operate at high speed according to their respective division of labor, just like a machine.

First of all, Konishi Ryuzzo returned to the post station, found Ito Yoshisuke and his son, packed his bags and began to travel to Echigo Province. Of course, all his family members stayed behind and moved to Kaimachi for a while.

Hosokawa Shinyuki didn't return to Awa either, and was busy sorting out the affairs of the marriage and preparing to sail to Hitachi Province. It is necessary to make preliminary alliance contacts with each family, and make a marriage contract with the Yuki family, and when Yuuki Asakatsu becomes an adult, he will immediately send Princess Sakura to the Yuki family.

Shinhou Soji found Hidetsuna Kamiizumi, and when the latter heard that a martial arts tournament was going to be held, he was naturally happy to go, and he also wanted to see if the juniors had good seedlings. When it comes to the realm of Kamiizumi Hidetsuna, he doesn't care about fame and fortune anymore, he just hopes to pass on this kendo.

Honda Tadashi and other reserve commanders began to return to the garrison one after another, gathered troops, and went to Omi Nagahama Castle to assemble.

Everyone has their own business, including Tokugawa Ieyasu...

"Lord, how is it? What are the takeaways from the conference? "In a secret room in Hamamatsu Castle, only a few important ministers and relatives have been summoned.

"It's a big gain." Tokugawa Ieyasu was very meaningful, and looked at the four important ministers who had been recruited: Sakai Tadaji, Matsudaira Yasutada, Hiraiwa Qinyoshi, and Okuhira Nobuyasa.

"My lord, do you mean..."Matsudaira Yasutada was about to say something, but was stopped by Tokugawa Ieyasu waving his hand.

"Is Guangjun outside?" Tokugawa Ieyasu sat up straight and asked majestically.

"Yes! The subordinates are always outside! A man's voice came from outside the door, it was Koga ninja Mitsutoshi Dorao who had taken refuge in the Tokugawa family after the First World War of Kannonji Castle.

"Stay outside! No one is allowed to come even half a step near the house! Tokugawa Ieyasu said with a serious expression and a very stern tone.

"Yes! The subordinates will never let anyone get close! Please rest assured! After saying that, I heard a rustling outside, some of them running up to the roof, and some of them crawling under the floor of the house, and these people who had fled from Koga had become the secret ninjas of the Tokugawa family.

"Everyone, this conversation will be a matter of the safety of my family, and if anyone dares to leak secrets, I swear to destroy their family name!" Tokugawa Ieyasu gloomily glanced at the four people present, and was so frightened that they hurriedly kowtowed, saying that they didn't dare.

"Very good, this meeting..."Even so, Tokugawa Ieyasu couldn't help but whisper, so that the surrounding ministers had to get a little closer and listen to what was happening at the meeting word for word.

"What do you mean, lord?" Ohei Nobuyama asked tentatively, only by understanding the intentions of the lord can he prescribe the right prescription. He was married to Tokugawa Ieyasu's eldest daughter, and now he was tied to the Tokugawa family's big ship.

"This world... If it is pacified by one of them, then the hegemony of my Tokugawa family will stop there..."After speaking, Tokugawa Ieyasu closed his eyes, and the meaning was already very clear.

"Then pass these messages to the Tsugawa family, let them eat dogs, it's best to fight for both sides, and my Tokugawa family will have a chance..."Matsudaira Yasutada is Ieyasu's cousin, and naturally hopes that the hegemony of the Tokugawa family will go to a higher level.

"But... If the content of this meeting is leaked, depending on the character of Hosokawa Daiden, it is easy to guess that it was my Tokugawa family who did it, and at that time, I will attack the main family first... So..."Sakai Tadaji was a little worried, but his loyalty was unquestionable, he was the chief patriarch of the Tokugawa family, and Ishikawa Shumasa was known as the "Tokugawa Second Minister". Of course, because of Ishikawa Shumasa's rebellion, he became the "Tokugawa Patriarch", and Shumasa became Tokugawa Nobuyasu's number one minister at this time.

"Humph! What are you afraid of! The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth! Hiraiwa said unceremoniously that he and Lord Tokugawa Ieyasu were born in the same year, and the two were the same age.

Hiraiwa lost his mother at a very young age and was raised by Yasasakado's nurse, who was later sent to a distant relative. When he was five years old, he ushered in the first turning point in his life, the eighth generation of the Matsudaira family, Matsudaira Hirotada, on the way to the ancestral temple to worship saw the proyoshi, his liveliness and cuteness made Hiroshi very fond of it, and Hirotashi took the proyoshi with him.

Soon after, Hirotada died, and Hiraiwa Jinyoshi became the son of the young lord Matsudaira Takechiyo (Tokugawa Ieyasu). The following year, as one of the seven minor surnames of Takechiyo, Kinyoshi followed his lord and went to Kiyoshu Oda Nobuhide and Sunfu Imagawa Yoshimoto as hostages.

With the same age and common experience, Hiraiwa Qinyoshi quickly rose to prominence and became an important minister among the Tokugawa family's important ministers and a close confidant among his cronies.

"You! Reckless man's opinion! "Sakai Tadaji is so angry, this Hiraiwa Qinji relies on the favor of the lord and doesn't take himself in his eyes at all.

"Okay, okay, don't make any noise, what kind of system will you become in front of the lord." Ohei Nobuyoshi hurriedly came out to play the round, and when the two of them saw the lord's angry face, they were so frightened that they lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak.

"My lord, according to my subordinates, this news still has to be passed on to the Tsugawa family, but it can't be up to me from the Tokugawa family, I must put aside the relationship with my own family, and let ..."

"Well, that's good, that's all!" Tokugawa Ieyasu nodded while listening, Matsudaira Yasutada's proposal was very good, not only to clear up the relationship with himself, but also to blame others, it was really killing two birds with one stone.

"Mitsujun! In! Tokugawa Ieyasu suddenly recruited Mitsutoshi Tarao.

"Yes! What does the lord command? With a thud, the door opened, and a skinny ninja entered and saluted.

"You come here, you have a face for this matter, so..."Tokugawa Ieyasu muttered in the ear of Mitsutoshi Tarao for a long time, and the latter kept nodding yes again and again.

"Alright, go ahead, when you're done... Well! Tokugawa Ieyasu finally made another gesture of slitting his throat.

"Yes! Please rest assured! The subordinates must do it neatly! A cold glint flashed in Tarao's eyes, and he understood the lord's intentions, and immediately went down to prepare.

"Alright, that's all for today. Go! Call all the geisha in! I'm going to keep drinking and having fun today! Oh, and don't forget that tempura! Tokugawa Ieyasu immediately showed that he was addicted to wine, which caused the important minister next to him to laugh knowingly.

Soon, the house was filled with singing and dancing, eating the tempura in the bowl. This delicacy was brought to his mother by Tokugawa Shinkanto, but he was cut off by Tokugawa Ieyasu, and instantly fell in love with this delicacy, no matter when, he loved to eat two bites.

In fact, this was deliberately done by Hosokawa Nobumoto, who knew that after the establishment of the Tokugawa shogunate, Tokugawa Ieyasu in history was very fond of eating tempura offered by Shiro Jiro, a wealthy merchant in Kyoto.

However, this kind of fried food contains a lot of trans fatty acids, leavening agents and pigments, and it is easy to cause cancer if eaten regularly.

Tokugawa Ieyasu eventually got stomach cancer and died of sea bream tempura, if he could eat it right now, the best and worst result, it would be... It's a vegetative person in the late stage! Please pay attention to the latest chapters in the future
