063 Naoe Kashisuke (II)
063
My hands flew back and forth on the keys of the Nanban piano, and with the falling and rising of my fingers, the melodious melody came from the piano.
Oda Nobunaga sat on the main seat, he did not wear a kimono, and his body was not wearing any set of clothes that a Japanese man should wear, but a set of tight-fitting and gorgeous Nanban leather clothes offered by Nanban missionaries, which felt a bit like the "jacket" of later generations. There are also a few chrysanthemums embroidered with gold thread on it, which looks really "fantastic".
I complained: If Oda Nobunaga is born in the next life, even if he doesn't do the more "exciting" "work" of the underworld, politicians, and soldiers, he can be a model.
At least I think that Oda Nobunaga's appearance, figure, and his domineering are enough to make "type men" such as Takuya Kimura, Shosuke Tanihara, and Masaharu Fukuyama shy away.
Oda Nobunaga likes to drink red wine from Nanban.
The tall goblet in his hand contained Bordeaux wine from France, and beside him was a wooden wine bottle that was almost at the bottom.
At this time, Oda Nobunaga was squinting, the corners of his mouth showing an "aftertaste" look, and his fingers, with the sound of my piano, did a small amount of back and forth, a bit like a later generation of performers.
And at his start, there is Murai Sadakatsu, the director of the Kyoto office, and then there are the "Imperial Generals" Gamo Clan and Tsuda Nobusumi.
Mori Ranmaru and the others, who were close attendants, sat on the other side of Oda Nobunaga.
And on the lower position, there is a group of "guests" from the east.
Naoe Jingzuna and Higuchi continue!
They were also listening quietly......
The end of the song.
"Kogoro, is this a new song you've written?" Oda Nobunaga asked.
"Yes." I said without blushing.
"What's your name?"
"Pastoral!"
Anyway, Beethoven was born more than 200 years later, so I don't care who infringes on whose copyright.
"Tian ...... Garden? Oda Nobunaga frowned, savoring the two words.
"Good talk, Kogoro, come over for a drink."
"Thank you, lord!" ……
Two days ago, I was enjoying my life in Sakamoto Castle when I suddenly received a notice from Oda Nobunaga: I was ordered to enter Kyoto as soon as possible.
I didn't know until I "went to Luo".
Kenshin Uesugi has sent an envoy to Kyoto!
Naturally, I have a lot of respect for Uesugi Kenshin, but ......
At the moment, everyone can see that the alliance between Oda and Uesugi has already existed in name only, and the war between the two families is a matter of sooner or later...... Even some underground gambling houses in Kyoto have begun to bet on the date of the start of the war between the two companies.
At this time, what did the god of war send an envoy to Kyoto for?
Give Oda Nobunaga "eye medicine"?
Then he also underestimated Oda Nobunaga too much.
Is it a special declaration of war?
Then you only need to send a "little minion", why send a "clerical faction boss" like Naoe Jinggang?
With such a feeling of confusion, I set out from Sakamoto Castle and crossed Mt. Atago, and arrived in Kyoto in one day.
Naoe Jingzuna, I didn't take the time to pay attention, judging by the development of history, he should be dying.
It was the name of another person in the "Messenger Corps" that made my eyes light up!
Higuchi continues!
If I'm not mistaken, he should be the later Naoe Kane......
"Nobunaga Gong is really full of talents in his hands," Naoe Keixuna said, "The piano, a musical instrument from the Southern Barbarians, is no longer used by anyone except the Nanban people within the Five Provinces and Seven Provinces, and it is really admirable that His Royal Highness the Wise General can use it so easily to play such beautiful vocal music." ”
"His Royal Highness Naoe praised it falsely," Oda Nobunaga was present, and I couldn't be too proud, so I had to reply politely, "It's just a few more times of practice on weekdays, and the four words 'with ease' are really not daring to take it seriously." ”
"Nobunaga, His Royal Highness Akechi's song "Pastoral" is really good, and it reminds me of the rolling mountains of Echigo and the trickling water of the Shinano River.
Naoe Jinggang's words were not harsh, but I was shocked on the side.
It's going to be so soon?!
Oda Nobunaga smiled slightly: "The majesty of Mt. Kasuga and the magnificence of the Shinano River are both things that Nobunaga really wants to see, but right now, there are many affairs in the capital, and Nobunaga really can't leave......"
Saying that, he also made a look of regret.
"It is humble and faithful, Echigo has been peaceful for a long time, the country and the people are safe, thriving, and the people live and work in peace and contentment...... In the face of such a good situation, Kenshin Gong should be more relaxed than Nobunaga, right? ”
"How so?" Naoe Jinggang laughed: "Echigo also has a lot of big and small affairs, although the contemptible lord is exhausted, forgetting to sleep and eat, but he is also exhausted, and he is unable to do it...... He often said to us, who were useless retainers, that it would be nice if there could be a pillar of the country like Nobunaga, who was both civil and military, and loyal and righteous, to help him. ”
"Haha......" Oda Nobunaga closed the folding fan in his hand, "Kenshin Gong is eloquent and strategic, and he has studied heaven and earth, Nobunaga is just a corpse vegetarian, a dull and incompetent person, how can he help Kenshin...... But Kenshin Gong should have helped Nobunaga a lot...... That's right, His Highness Naoe! ”
"Huh?"
"I have a lot of things going on here, and I guess I won't be able to go to Echigo, if I don't dislike it...... Can Kenshin come to Kyoto for some sightseeing? ”
"This ......"
Naoe Keixuna was about to speak, but was interrupted by Oda Nobunaga.
"I heard the old people in Kyoto say that more than 20 years ago, when Kenshin Gong went to Luo, the majesty was magnificent and magnificent, which made people admire, but it is a pity that Nobunaga was still in Owari at that time, and he did not have the opportunity to see the demeanor of Kenshin, now I think about it, it is really a pity, alas......"
As he spoke, he really sighed decently.
"Nobunaga doesn't have to be like this." A young voice came.
"Huh?"
We all looked at each other.
It's not Naoe Keixuna who can speak, but Higuchi Kanesuo behind him.
"My main hall is also very concerned about Nobunaga," I don't know if Higuchi Kaneji has been a "diplomat" before, speaking in front of our group of outsiders, without the slightest stage fright, "Although I have never had the opportunity to see it, but the main hall often says that in this life, if you can't admire Nobunaga's demeanor, it will be a great regret in your life, so he will ......"
"Shut up!" Naoe Jinggang shouted: "You bastard, Nobunaga Gong is a wise and martial artist, loves the people like a son, is clean and serves the people, is eloquent and strategic, Wen Taowu is strategic, comparable to Yao Shun's big man, what are you!" Dare to talk to Nobunaga face to face, do you have a part to speak here! ”
He turned his head again, smiled and smiled at Oda Nobunaga: "This kid is the nephew of Xia, he is used to staying in the mountains of Echigo, his temperament is too wild, he has never seen much of the world, let Nobunaga you laugh, please don't be surprised, after going back, he will be punished heavily." ”
"No, this samurai is just a matter of facts...... Oda Nobunaga sneered.
I noticed Oda Nobunaga's expression, and my father-in-law's face turned blue with the "praise" of Naoe Keixuna just now, but in front of a group of us, he just couldn't have a seizure.
I noticed that Mori Ranmaru on the side looked at Oda Nobunaga nervously, with a hint of fear in his eyes.
"Alas, poor boy, Oda Nobunaga can't be angry now, and after a while, he will definitely be angry with you people...... But then again, you are so 'beautiful', how can Oda Nobunaga 'get angry' with you......"
Just when I was alone there "evil" YY, I heard Oda Nobunaga say:
"This young samurai-sama must be Higuchi-sama."
"It's here, there was a lot of offense just now, please forgive Nobunaga." Higuchi leaned down and saluted Oda Nobunaga.
"I heard that when you were five years old, you became a servant of the humble and faithful prince...... Ling Zun is neither an important minister nor a public, as a son of man, you can be so valued by the humble and faithful prince, it is really not simple. ”
"Nobunaga has saved up a fallacy, and he doesn't have the slightest ability in the world, but he is just loved by the temple."
"False praise?" Oda Nobunaga turned to look at me and said, "Look, what people say is the same as what you just said." ”
It's just a very ordinary rhetoric, what does it matter to me.
"Kogoro, if I'm not mistaken, you, like this Higuchi-sama, were born in the third year of Eiroku, right?"
Cut! You even remember other people's birthdays, but will you forget your son-in-law's?
But if you think so, you can't say that.
"The lord has a good memory, yes"
"His Royal Highness Naoe, although I and I were not born in the same year, we cherish each other and have been friends for a long ......time."
Divine Friendship? All of us were crying out in our hearts, "What are you going to say? ”
"Although I have never known anything in my life, I have always regarded Kenshin Gong as the greatest confidant in my life, so the family and the Uesugi family have always maintained a close relationship......
Really? Why am I a little nauseous?
"This kind of relationship is naturally passed on to the next generation of Higuchi-sama and Kogoro."
“?????”
"So what...... Keiho, who is humble and honest, His Royal Highness Keikatsu and Inu Nobutada, Higuchi-sama and Kogoro, Tsuru Chiyo (Gamo clan) and others should get along as if they were brothers...... You say, isn't it, His Highness Naoe? ”
"It makes sense, in ...... I was taught under it. Naoe wiped the sweat from his head.
"By the way, there's one more thing to ask for in the future." After wiping off the sweat, Naoe Jinggang lay down on the ground and said.
"If you have any requests, just mention them." Oda Nobunaga, who won a handful, was in a good mood.
"The next group of people is a country man who came out of the mountains and has never seen the world, so I want to visit Kyoto for a few days while I still have enough time, so I ......."
"Of course that's not a problem," Oda Nobunaga immediately guessed what he meant.
"Kogoro!"
"In!"
"For the next few days, it's up to you to entertain Naoe-sama and others."
"Yes...... Be! ”
Okay, I'm in trouble again.
"If there is any neglect, I will definitely blame it to the end!"
"Yes!"
