In view of not wanting to affect the reputation of himself and Tokugawa Ieyasu, Oda Nobunaga did not make a big deal about the investigation of the "Okazaki Rebellion", not only the Oda family, but even in the Tokugawa family, only a very small number of "high-level" such as Tokugawa Ieyasu and Hontashi, Okubo Tadayo and so on.

It's a bit funny to say, in order not to leak the news, when Tokugawa Nobuyasu and Tsukiyama Gozen were "arrested", the crime turned out to be: embezzlement of military salaries!

Well, for this, I don't even have the mood to complain, the military salary is the Tokugawa family, and Tokugawa Nobuyasu is the future "leader" of the Tokugawa family, may I ask him to embezzle his own family's things, is there any point in doing this?

But seeing Tokugawa Nobuyasu dumbfounded for a year, wouldn't it? Don't you even know what you've done?

"Don't you know anything? His Highness the Central Affairs. Pity began to appear in my eyes when I looked at Tokugawa Nobuyasu, "This is a matter of life and death for the Tokugawa family, but as the main culprit, you don't even know?!" ”

"Didn't my father detain me and my mother to examine us for the crime of greedy ink?"

Tokugawa Nobuyasu's heart began to sink, he was not an idiot, on the contrary, he was very wise.

But now, he only felt a burst of sadness, he wanted to hide it for his mother, but in fact, outsiders had already known about those things, but it was himself who was really hidden.

And what shocked him the most was that this incident not only traced down his mother, but also made him the main culprit!

Seeing that Tokugawa Nobuyasu still had an unaware expression, I was already angry, and I couldn't help but turn my face away and sigh.

After hesitating for a moment, since everyone has already come here, let him know.

So I told him everything about it.

"Your Highness, this is not a joke. I still have something to go to see Ieyasu, Your Highness, you also have to be prepared, so you can do it yourself. "Seeing his completely petrified form, I softened my heart and my voice was a little hoarse.

At the end, he added: "Your Highness at noon, you'd better not expect too much from Nobunaga, he is far more ruthless than you think when dealing with such a great rebellion......"

"So, I'm going to take my leave...... Your Highness at noon, take care. ”

Tokugawa Nobuyasu nodded with a vacant look in his eyes, called a few subordinates, and sent me out of the entrance.

"Does my father-in-law really believe that I, as his son-in-law, have two hearts? Also, what does the phrase 'ruthless' mean? ”

The sun has risen, and although it is autumn, the weather is still very hot, and the scorching sun is beginning to burn people's necks mercilessly.

Tokugawa Nobuyasu stood up and walked to the courtyard, a gust of wind blew, and the branches in the courtyard made a "whoosh" sound, while Tokugawa Nobuyasu was dumbfounded, looking like he had been drained of his soul, and looked at the leaves fluttering in the wind in a daze.

"What exactly did I do?" ……

It had been several days since I saw Tokugawa Nobuyasu again.

"To tell you the truth, Your Highness Chukaji, if it weren't for Nobunaga's order, I would be unwilling to meet you on this occasion and at this time."

"Well, why shouldn't I?" Tokugawa Nobuyasu smiled bitterly, it seems that in the end, it is the relationship between going into battle and fighting, and his psychological quality is really not ordinary tough. If it were me, I'm afraid that during this time, I would be unable to sleep at night, unable to swallow food, and described as withered.

"If you haven't had breakfast, just eat it at my place." While eating breakfast in his room, Tokugawa Nobuyasu ordered the waiter to add a pair of chopsticks. "Today's sauce radish tastes really good."

I'm starting to admire him a little, in this case, can the average person still eat the taste of the food?

Is this a self-emboldening oneself?

Tokugawa Nobuyasu smiled, his expression relaxed.

Probably he didn't know what his father-in-law, Oda Nobunaga, was thinking, and he didn't know that the people outside had already gone crazy because of this incident, so he ate the same meal as usual, two bowls were not enough, and another bowl was added.

Just as he was smiling and feasting, I just took a few bites and put down my chopsticks.

"Your Highness at noon, you really have a good appetite, I can't eat anything these days."

"That's because I'm tired from work, hehe."

"Your Highness seems to be very relaxed, have you forgotten that you are still wearing a guilty body?"

"Of course not," he said in a relaxed tone, "but it would be silly to torture your stomach because you were nervous." ”

"That's ......"

"By the way, how are you doing?"

"The day before yesterday, His Royal Highness Gamo went down to visit your mother, Lady Tsukiyama."

"What was the result?"

"It tastes so unpleasant, and from beginning to end, Lady Tsukiyama has been speaking ill of hers," I sighed and said, "His Royal Highness Gamo is clever and wise, and he stayed there all afternoon, but he didn't ask anything. ”

"Hehe, sure enough, I'm ashamed to say that my mother has always been very disgusted with the people of the Oda family."

"From this, you can imagine how hard Her Royal Highness Deji has lived these years."

Hearing his wife's name, Tokugawa Nobuyasu had mixed feelings in his heart, and he really didn't know what to say.

At the same time, he was annoyed by his mother's ignorance and stupidity, when was it, and he only cared about playing a petty temper, the life and death of the Tokugawa family were now in the hands of these three people of the Oda family, what good was it to offend them!!

But then again, did my mother rebel?

It's a question that always bothers him, but now, he can't ask it.

"After more than two months of investigation, it's been long enough, and if it drags on like this, I'm afraid that Nobunaga in Kyoto will be angry," I stared at Tokugawa Nobuyasu and said, "So, the three of us have decided to hand over the report of this incident tonight!" ”

"So fast?!"

Tokugawa Nobuyasu was in a hurry, and he still had a lot to say.

"But His Royal Highness doesn't have to worry, I'm here today, and I'm the last time I ask His Highness Central Affairs, please Your Highness Central Affairs must answer honestly."

"Okay."

"Although it is not known whether His Highness was involved or not, through the investigation of His Highness Gamo, Lady Tsukiyama is indeed suspected of fornicating with the enemies of Koshu...... Oh no," I noticed that Tokugawa Nobuyasu's face was getting more and more ugly, "It's no longer a suspicion, and through the news sent back by the family at the Takeda family, it can already be confirmed that Mrs. Tsukuyama has been in contact with Takeda Katsuyori more than once!" ”

"How could it be ......" Although Tokugawa Nobuyasu knew about it, he had always been lucky, thinking that his mother would not do such a thing, and he was even more naïve to think that as long as he covered it up, no one would know, but who knows......

"I forgot to tell you, in fact, the maids who serve Lady Tsukiyama, their real identity is actually the ninja of the Takeda family."

"What?!"

I have been the city lord for so many years, and the enemy's spies are by my side, and I don't even know it!

"A few of them were severely tortured by His Highness Xincheng, and they couldn't bear it anymore, so they vomited it all out," I said, "Your Highness Zhongwu, do you know?" In order to prevent Takeda Katsuyori from repenting afterwards, the lady ordered her most trusted maids to copy the letters exchanged with her...... Hehe, between the great powers and the great names, how can there be any faith at all, how can a letter restrain them? ”

Tokugawa Nobuyasu was dumbfounded, unable to say a word. I thought that this matter only involved my mother, but I never thought that even I was involved, so my mother fornicated with the enemy, and I myself was an accomplice?

Tokugawa Nobuyasu jumped up like crazy.

"Impossible! It is absolutely impossible for my mother to do this kind of thing of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, although it is not wrong for my father-in-law to kill Imagawa Jibu, but the Imagawa family obviously died at the hands of Takeda Shingen, why did my mother join forces with the enemy? And Takeda Katsuyori was greatly injured after the Battle of Nakachoshino, so he still has the strength to attack his own family?! ”

"That's why they use such despicable means, oh, by the way, His Royal Highness the Central Affairs, I only want to ask one thing, as the lord of Okazaki City, do you know about this?"

"This ......"

"Your Highness Nakaji, please tell me the truth, whether it is Yashiro Oga in the past or Mrs. Tsukiyama now, none of them have the greatest element to become Takeda Neiying, and Your Highness Nakaji, you ......"

"Are you suspicious of me?" Tokugawa Nobuyasu said coldly: "Or do you want to say directly, I am a traitor who colluded with the Takeda family?" ”

"I'm sorry, but I just want to ask for an answer, and I don't believe that you, as Nobunaga's son-in-law, would have an affair with the Takeda family." I shook my head slowly, "However, on the Kyoto side, Nobunaga Gong will not think so, he is afraid that he will think that the young master will be suspected of collaborating with the enemy, after all, this incident happened in your territory, and you said that you were not involved...... Who would believe it? ”

"How can this be!!"

Tokugawa Nobuyasu was distraught, fiddling with his hair.

In fact, ever since she was documenting, her mother has been cursing Oda in front of her. Mother's hatred of Oda's family,I also understand it very well.,She's just a weak woman who can't restrain the chicken.,So I didn't take it seriously.,For her "small actions",In addition to stopping it.,It's also trying to cover it up.,But who would have thought that this would cause misfortune that is difficult to get rid of.,Instead, she set herself on fire and involved herself.。

"Actually...... I know a little bit about my mother and the Takeda family. ”

"Hmmm! Then why didn't you say it earlier! ”

"That's it! All right! That's enough! "Tokugawa Nobuyasu is not a kind lord either, he couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted me,

"It seems that there is no other way than to tell you about this incident. Your Highness Akechi, you also know that I, the dignified Tokugawa Saburo Jiro Nobuyasu, never had the slightest idea of betraying my father-in-law and taking refuge in Takeda. Your Highness, you must go to my father and father-in-law in my place, and I must think carefully so as not to mess things up. ”

"That's the best!"

Tokugawa Nobuyasu didn't answer again, his eyes looked at the courtyard, as if thinking about something.
