Uesugi Kenmasa was very disappointed.

Originally, I came to Furukawa Castle this time to pull the Furukawa Princesses to follow me, but I didn't expect that the Hojo family had actually controlled the Furukawa Ashikaga family and the surrounding wealthy families, and it seemed that this road would not work.

Tsugawa Soji also saw the loss of Uesugi Kenmasa, and at the same time felt that his face was a little unbearable, and he didn't stop these people in the Furukawa Imperial Palace just now. Of course, if Tsugawa Soji reveals his identity, I'm afraid that these people will not dare to be so presumptuous, but Tsugawa Soji also has a hard time.

Since he decided not to participate in the affairs of the Kanto region, Soharu Tsugawa naturally had to keep a low profile. Otherwise, the head of the Tsukawa family appeared at the Furukawa Imperial Palace and openly supported the Ashikaga Harushi clan, so doesn't that mean that the Tsugawa family also began to intervene in the affairs of the Kanto region?

This is not a good thing for the long-term development of the Tsugawa family.

"Uesugi Temple, don't be discouraged, although this matter is tricky, it is not completely impossible!" Riding on a war horse, Soji Tsugawa approached Uesugi Kenmasa and said comfortingly.

Uesugi Kenmasa raised his head and looked into the eyes of Tsugawa Soji, and then asked with a puzzled expression, "Why didn't Tsugawaden directly identify himself just now, I believe that with the current prestige of Tsugawaden, it is easy to deter Yuki Masakatsu and others?" ”

"The family doesn't plan to get involved in the dispute in the Kanto region, so it's not appropriate to come forward in this matter!"

"Of course, I am also very sympathetic to the plight of the Uesugi Hall and the Furukawa Gongfang Hall!"

"I am deeply trusted by the general, and I am also responsible for assisting the Tsuruoka Gongfang Palace. Although I can't directly help Uesugi Hall and Furukawa Gongkata Hall, I'm willing to do my part in other places! Soji Tsugawa said with a straight face.

Uesugi Kenmasa nodded, "Tsugawaden bothered, I'm grateful!" ”

"It's just that now Furukawa Gongfang, Yuki Masakatsu and others have sided with the Hojo family, and if they want to form a new round of Hojo encirclement network, they can go south!" Uesugi Kenmasa said with some weakness.

Tsugawa Soji waved his hand and replied undeniably, "There is nothing difficult in the world, only afraid of people with hearts, since this road does not work, then change the way!" ”

......

Sekijuku Castle, located in the south of Furukawa Castle, is the residence of Harusuke, the elder of the Furukawa Ashikaga family.

After coming out of the Furukawa Imperial Palace, Kirita Harusuke was full of anger and returned to the castle without saying a word and drank alcohol.

Takasuke Shikuda, the father of Harsuke Shikita, dragged the sick body to Harsuke Shikuda's side, and said weakly, "Hachiro, what is the result of today's assessment?" ”

"How else! Yuuki Masakatsu and the others have already brought their troops outside Furukawa Castle, and thousands of troops are waiting for them, and the lord can only be forced to agree to live in seclusion! Kirita Harsuke slammed his fist on the floor beside him, and said with an indignant face, "It's hateful, except for Sano Shuryu, there is not even a single person in the retainers who oppose it!" ”

"Looking at the appearance of Yuuki Masakatsu and the others, I really want to kill them with one sword!"

"Ahem, ahem!" Shikita Takasuke took a breath, and after his breathing was smooth, he continued, "Hachiro, what you are angry about is not actually the arrogance of Yuki Masakatsu and others, and it is not that the retainers who hate have fallen to the side of the Hojo family. ”

"What you really care about is actually because Yuchiyo Wangmaru failed to inherit the position of the princess, and the family's years of hard work were ruined! Am I right? ”

Yuda Harusuke paused for a moment, and then said dejectedly, "Alas, what my father said is reasonable, but now that the general trend has gone, how should the family deal with itself?" ”

Although the Shikita family is loyal, it does not mean that it is completely selfless, and this selfishness mainly comes from the eldest son of the Ashikaga Haru clan, Kochiyo Wangmaru.

Kochiyo Wangmaru is the ex-wife of the Ashikaga Harumu clan, and Yukita Takasuke is Yukichiyo Wangmaru's grandfather, and Yukita Haruke is Yukichiyo Wangmaru's uncle. Based on this relationship, the Shikita family must support Kochiyo Wangmaru.

And now that Yuchiyo Wangmaru has been deposed, and Mei Chiyo Wangmaru has ascended to the throne, the status of the Shikita family is naturally embarrassing.

It's not so much that Harsuke Shiruta is angry about today's events, but that Harsuke Shikita is worried about the future of the Shikita family.

"My lord, the Kanto Governor Uesugi Hall asks to see you!" Just when Shikita Takasuke and his son were at a loss, a waiter whispered outside the house.

Takasuke Shikuda was stunned for a moment, "What? Did Uesugi Hall also arrive at Furukawa Castle today? ”

"Not bad." Kirita Harusuke nodded, "Uesugi Hall asked to see the Gongkata Hall in the assessment today, and although he also expressed his dissatisfaction with the actions of Yuki Masakatsu and others, it obviously didn't let Yuuki Masakatsu and others take it to heart. ”

"This is natural, the current Kanto Governor is not the same Kanto Governor as it used to be!" Yukita Takasuke looked as he should be, "Uesugi Hall appeared in Furukawa Castle, combined with the previous Nagao family's strategy of Ueno, it seems that Uesugi Hall is here for this matter." ”

"It seems that there is a way out for this family!" Kosuke Shiruta smiled, "Let Uesugi come in!" ”

Soon, Uesugi Kenmasa walked in under the guidance of his attendants.

"I've seen Uesugi Temple!"

"Uesugi Hall is here in person, which really makes the humble house shine!" Kosuke Shikita and Kenmasa Uesugi are old acquaintances, and although the previous experience was not very pleasant, it did not prevent Takasuke Shikuda from saying hello warmly.

Uesugi Kenmasa sat down unceremoniously, took out a handkerchief and stuck the sweat on his forehead, "It's the second time I've come to Sekijuku Castle, and I haven't seen Nakabu Daisuke (Shikita Takasuke) for many years, and his demeanor is still the same!" ”

"Where, where, Uesugi Hall has a reputation!" Takasuke Shiruta continues to keep up with Uesugi Kenmasa haha.

Seeing that Takasuke Yukita and Kenmasa Uesugi actually talked about the shortcomings of their parents, Harusuke Shikita on the side was a little breathless, "Father, Uesugi Hall must have something important to discuss here, why don't you listen to what Uesugi Hall has to say?" ”

Takasuke Shikuda glared at Harsuke Shikuda, then turned his head and said with a smile on his face, "If you have something to say in Uesugi Temple, you might as well say it directly, there are no outsiders here!" ”

"That's good!"

Uesugi Kenmasa organized the words for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "I'm here for the Hojo family!" ”

"As we all know, now that I have the support of the Echigo Guardian Nagao Danmasa Shaobi Temple, I have recaptured the territory of Ueno. Now they are preparing to go south to attack Musashi and regain their old domain in one fell swoop! ”

"It's just that the Hojo family is strong, and it is inevitable that the Nagao family alone will be a little out of reach! Therefore, I want to join forces with the Kanto Gongfang Hall again to form a new round of Hojo encirclement network, and fight back and forth with the Nagao family, and jointly face off against the Hojo family! ”

"Kawachi Mamoru and Nakabu Daisuke are important ministers of the Kanto Gongfang Palace, and they have a pivotal position in the family, so I have come to ask the two of them to help!" As he spoke, Uesugi Kenmasa bowed to the two of them with a sincere look.

Kirita Harsuke was silent for a while, and then said a little helplessly, "But today's incident is also seen by Uesugi with your own eyes!" Yuki, Koyama, Oda, Chiba and other countries are all on the side of the Hojo family, and the family is alone, and it is really powerless! ”

After Harusuke Shikuda finished speaking, Uesugi Kenmasa smiled slightly, and then said with a mysterious face, "........."
