Yesterday, I saw a netizen on the Internet who was obsessed with Japanese ACG culture, who was passionate and generous on Baidu Tieba and urged people to pee, he said:

[You jokers (I don't know who he's talking about), those miscellaneous online articles you read, is there any content in them?!

Only water, B, pig's feet are only hanging and exploding, monster farming upgrades, and breaking the X membrane...... To put it bluntly, the character description is 0.

Every pig's foot is the same, the storyline is the same, read a copy of N copies.

I don't know who Pig's Foot is at all, I know that he is very hanging, not human. This is too serious. I often give up after reading half of it. Although Japanese light novels have a lot of similarities (harem classes are the same, no plot of discipline). However, there are many types of people, and different types of characters are different. Female pig's feet give people the feeling of real people. So many goddesses were born.

Our country's light novels, except for one "Dragon Family", are all garbage, and the characters in "Dragon Family" are well described and imaged. The stories are all fascinating. 】

I don't know what kind of enmity he has with the online article, as for burying the latter like this.

To be honest, I also love light novels, and I've tried to write about them, but I haven't been able to do it.

But as this brother said, I think it's a bit too much.

My opinion on Riqing and online literature is that they are originally a type of online literature, and there is no difference in themselves.

However, Hisaki is better at narrating characters and their psychological activities, while online texts are more interested in the development of storylines.

It is for this reason that Higaru is relatively easy to adapt into manga or anime.

And the online text does not have this convenience, just imagine, a cartoonist has nothing else to do, just to draw a comic adapted from two or three million words of online text, how can he have to work for seven or eight years, if it is made into an animation, then the broadcast time will be longer.

But the light day also has its shortcomings.

The plot is relatively bland, and often the protagonist's psychological activities alone can be written tens of thousands of words at every turn, who can read it?

I used to think that online articles were books for children who had not yet stepped into society, but now, I find that the more people who have been in society for a longer time, the more obsessed they are with unrealistic online articles.

Probably because the world created by online articles is very suitable for escaping reality......

Seeing that Yanagi didn't seem to understand the meaning of what she said, Xiang Ji smiled slightly, and there was no displeasure.

The craftsmanship of [Heavy Shimmer] is simple and heavy, and the surface texture does not have too much fancy feeling, which is indeed the sword used by the samurai in troubled times.

On the contrary, the handle of the knife of [Fudo Guoxing] is engraved with a clear texture pattern, and the luster is bright, which is not the same style as [Heavy Shimmer] at all.

[Dao Sangong, Yijing Gong and Father, the three of them are all people who are trying to survive in the troubled times, and in the generation of adults, the war has slowly gone away, and in Zhu Chiyo, the children at that time may not remember the hard work of their ancestors anymore. 】

Yanagi hung her head.

[Why does Mrs. have such feelings? 】

[I don't know this, probably because of my brother's influence.] 】

【Kobe-sama?】 】

[Yes...... The Shogun has already complained that Oda Ichigochi has always been heroic, and his uncles and uncles have gone through a lot of hardships to win and equally share the power to govern a country from the hands of the Owari Spo family, and in his generation, Oda Ichimono can still be called a talent pool, but I don't know why, in the third generation, there are few outstanding ones, why is this? 】

【……】

[Assie.] 】

【The small one is in. 】

[Who do you think is better than Kobe-sama or the hon-sama?] 】

[This...... Is it really permissible for the small to say? 】

[How?] Haven't you Yagyu Shibei always been afraid of anything? Hehe, why have you become a little timid now? 】

[Then forgive me for my wild words...... I don't think Kobe-sama can compare to my lord. 】

[Oh? What do you think? 】

[That's right, I heard the conversation between you and Kobe-sama just now, madam, and you don't seem to be happy that Kobe-sama wants to take this opportunity to attack the minister.] 】

[Just because I'm upset, so you think he's a bad guy?] …… What a cute silly girl. 】

As she spoke, she smiled and pinched Liu Shengqian's face, like a bad-hearted big sister teasing her innocent sister.

Liu Shengqian's face turned red, if others dared to be so rude to her, she would have drawn her sword and cut people, but Mrs. Xiangji is different, she is not only her own hostess, but also a person who is respected by herself.

[Not only that, I think...... It's so itchy, please don't touch it again, madam...... I think that as a samurai, it is quite despicable to fall behind the well, so you are too bad compared to the master...... Madam, he is your brother after all, and you won't be angry if I say so, will you? 】

Of course, why should I be angry? You think exactly the same way as I do...... Alas! 】

Xiang Ji felt extremely troubled, she looked at the sunset above the western sky, and said:

[In the future, Azhi will have to pay more attention to the moral education of children, but they must not become people like their uncles. 】……

Putting aside the morning experience that made me cry and laugh, when I got home, it was already morning.

[Yo, the man who didn't return overnight is back, it's a surprise, it seems that you still remember this home. 】

After listening to Xiang Ji's ridiculous greeting, I was drinking tea and squirted out a mouthful of water.

The tone of her voice, no matter how she listened, was like a deep resentful woman, this is the wife of an important minister of the shogunate, can she say it?

My wife is really as bad as ever.

[Hmph, I don't have time to gag with you right now...... Assie, you go and call the children. 】

After Assie left, Xiangji saw that I had a serious face, so she didn't joke anymore.

[Gorou, come over too.] 】

[Yes.] 】

Toshimitsu Yoshida answered and came down the hallway to the inner hall.

Kahime looked at Toshimitsu Yoshida, in fact, she had noticed this child she had never seen before.

Ask me:

[This child, is it your new retainer? 】

[Well, not only that, from now on, he will be your and my child. 】

[Huh?! 】

Xiang Ji was taken aback, it turned out that I had not only accepted a retainer.

This retainer also became my adopted son.

I hadn't mentioned it to her before.

It would be fine if it was just a new retainer, but the fact that I suddenly brought back a [son] made her a little overwhelmed for a moment.

Her reaction was completely unexpected, and when you think about it, this kind of thing is really abrupt for a woman.

Suddenly, there was a son, and no one could accept it right away.

[I'm sorry, Ah Xiang, I didn't tell you about this before, in fact, I also made a temporary decision......]

[Okay, my lord, you don't need to say it, you must have your reason for doing this, please let me hear it. 】

True to Oda Nobunaga's daughter, after a brief moment of panic, Kahime immediately calmed down, and she smiled at me to show her understanding of my behavior.

From this point of view, she is really remarkable, how can an ordinary woman have this bearing?

[Gorou, from now on, she will be your mother, so tell her about yourself. 】

【Okay.】 】

I pointed at Toshimitsu Yoshida, and he bowed respectfully to this woman who was only ten years older than himself, and said:

[Mother, my name is Goro Yoshida Toshimitsu, please give me a lot of advice in the future.] 】

Xiang Ji looked at the young man in front of her, and from the first impression, the latter was polite, so she added a favor or two to him.

[Okay, in our family in the future, there won't be so many rules, just get along with peace of mind...... By the way, your name is [Minguang], isn't it? 】

[Yes.] 】

[Your name has the word [light] that has been passed down from generation to generation in your family, is this the name given to you by adults?] 】

"No, the name which my father gave me when I was in my prime. 】

[Biological father? By the way, you haven't told me yet, what about your previous family background? Whose adult's son is it? 】

[My real surname is Tokudaiji, and later transferred to Yoshida Ichimen, my biological father, his name is Tokudaiji Shichu. 】

[Nani? You...... Are you from the Tokudaiji family? 】

Xiang Ji's eyes widened, what kind of sect is Deda Temple, of course she knows, one of the halls [Jiuqinghua] second only to [Wushi Guan]!

[Then how did you come to have the surname Yoshida?] 】

[Well...... this]

Toshimitsu Yoshida scratched his head and explained the reason.

Because this is really not a glorious thing, his voice is very soft throughout the whole story.

[I see...... Now that you have been brought here, there is no reason for me to shirk my obligation as your mother. 】

Speaking of this, Xiang Ji glared at me fiercely, such a major matter, I didn't discuss it with her before, it was indeed my fault.

[Thank you, Mother.] 】

[By the way, the samurai family and the public family are different after all, in the future, you have to forget that you were once a child of the public family, and use the code of conduct of bushido to regulate yourself. 】

[Thank you for your mother's teachings, I will definitely remember it.] 】

In the end, it is the son of the minister's family, Yoshida Toshimitsu has a clear eye in every move, and the etiquette is thoughtful, and it looks very satisfying.

At this time, A-eda came over with Kokowa and Chiyo Take.

I beckoned to Chiyo Take.

[Come, son, say hello to your brother.] 】

Four-year-old Chiyo Takechiyo, led by A-E, walked in front of us with a not very steady pace.

[Hello father, please give me a lot of advice today. 】

[Well, say hello to the person next to you, from today onwards, he will be your brother, and so will the heart and you, Brother Minguang is two years older than you, if you are bullied by someone, let him be angry for you...... Oops, Ah Xiang, what are you pinching me for?! 】

[Can you look like a father a little bit in front of the children?! 】

Kahime complained about her husband's [didn't slip] while looking at Toshimitsu Yoshida, who was amused.

In fact, Xiang Ji did not reject this newly recognized son, and even had a good impression of him because of his profound cultivation.

When it comes to cultivation, Xiang Ji can't help but think of his extraordinary family background.

I really never thought that one day, I would have this kind of intersection with the people of [Jiuqinghua].

Hey? Wait a minute?!

Xiang Ji suddenly thought of a question.

Although the public family has declined now, the noble minister still will not let go of his dignity casually.

Although his husband is a well-known samurai in the world, in the eyes of those ministers whose thoughts are still stuck in the Heian period, he is just a minor official from the bottom of the five, if it weren't for the fact that he is the confidant of the shogun, who would care about him?

In addition, although the income of high-ranking samurai is much higher than that of the high-ranking minister, not many ministers are willing to transform into samurai, so how could Yoshida Qing, who is one of the [Nine Qinghua], the Tokudaiji clan and the official residence of the three people, allow his own people to go to the samurai's house to become retainers?

Kahime is not a fool, she will soon be able to understand.

If it's just accepted as a retainer, then it will naturally have a ** share.

But what if it is adopted as an adopted son?

Then the meaning is completely different.

This kind of identity is acceptable to those old characters who hold on to the inadequacy.

The adults must have taken this into account, so they will temporarily take this [Moth Yizi] to accept it.

It's hard for you, sir......

Had lunch at home.

Kahime suggested that I had better go and ask to see Oda Nobunaga, because Yoshida Toshimitsu is a son of [Jiuqinghua] after all, and he has a lot of background, and he is already a top grade in the public family, and if this matter is not known to the shogun, I am afraid it will be difficult to justify.

She was right, but just as I was about to go out, I received a post from someone else who came to interview me.

Coincidentally, this person is also Xianghime's brother, but the blood relationship is not as close as Kobe Nobutaka.

At the same time, his relationship with me is also extraordinary.

【Commander Osaka】Oda Kanjuro Nobusumi.

When I was a teenager, I used to be called the [Three Generals] with this gentleman and the Gamo clan, because of the different identities, the three of them didn't have much contact after that, but this does not prevent the longevity of the friendship between the three of us.

And the two of them have worked together all year round, and the relationship is closer, and now they are also participating in the strategy of the four countries as generals with force.

In addition to those dealings in the officialdom, he was also my brother-in-law, and during the Chinese New Year, his two sons received New Year's money from my uncle.

Because of these relationships, we don't need too much courtesy and courtesy between us.

So, instead of being in the inner hall, I chose to meet him under a wooden shed covered with wisteria flowers in the back garden.

[Lord Shincheng, in fact, you should come to me more often. 】

Oda Nobusumi himself was satisfied with my arrangement, so I went on to say in a more relaxed tone:

[Blowing and my two nephews, are they all right? This is the time of year when you are most likely to catch a cold. 】

[Don't work the first minister, you bother, of course I will pay attention to the people of my family, I don't want to come, but eight or nine times out of ten you are not at home, isn't this sincerely embarrassing me. 】

[Haha, no way, it's too busy...... By the way, did you come to me for something? It's not just to chat with me and enjoy the flowers, right? 】

【Chat and enjoy the flowers? Hmph, in the whole of, I'm afraid you're the only one who still has this kind of leisure. 】

When he got down to business, his expression changed.

I sighed in my heart, how can everyone be like this?

Sure enough, the next topic came to Yushiba Hideyoshi again, and there is no doubt that it was the uproarious rebellion case.

Like Kobe Nobutaka, whom Kahime told me before, Oda Nobusumi also came to hear the truth of this matter.

But then again, why do you have to come to me?

Obviously, I only found out about this yesterday afternoon.

And Yushiba Hideyoshi didn't rebel, it was all a matter between the shogunate and the Sanyo Provincial Legion, you, and the previous Kobe Nobutaka, are obviously all members of the Nankai Provincial Legion, and their Sanyo Provincial Legion does not interfere with the river water on weekdays, and there is no direct intersection of interests, why are they all so concerned about this matter?

Isn't it fun to play a game?

That's not right, even if Yushiba Hideyoshi is really planted this time, it doesn't mean that you guys can climb up?

If the person in front of me is Kobe Nobutaka, I will definitely say a few words of sarcasm, but the person in front of me is not good, since he is a brother-in-law and a friend, how can I talk to him in that tone?

Hey? Wait a minute? Nobutaka Kobe?

I remember that the relationship between these two people was actually not particularly good, maybe......

[Xincheng, put aside what you just asked me, please answer me a question first, okay? 】

[Alas, what kind of tone are you? The two of us are with whom, and we still need to say [please], you can say hello directly, as long as I can answer, I will never miss it. 】

This guy is so bold and magnificent, it's really admirable, I don't have this bearing.

[Okay, I'm offended, may I ask Kobe Ise-samaru, that is, Sanqi Gongzi, has he also discussed this issue with you before? ] 】

[Sanqi Son? 】

Oda Nobusumi was stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand without any hesitation.

[How so?] Except for some official exchanges, I don't usually talk to him, let alone this kind of big thing, I'd rather go to a pig to discuss than find him......]

Speechless! Find a pig to discuss [big things], it seems that you are not a high-IQ master.

At the end, my brother-in-law didn't forget to count a few words to me about the person who was not in front of me.

[That guy claims to be the son of the general, and he thinks he's quite talented, and he doesn't take us people in his eyes, except for Takigawa-sama, there is no one in his eyes ......]

I smiled wryly and shook my head, it seems that I, the [second brother-in-law], not only has a problem with my personality, but also has a bad popularity, no wonder when Yushiba Hideyoshi wanted to kill him in history, as the son of Nobunaga, he didn't get any sympathy from Oda's old ministers.

Thinking of this, I have a new idea.

Hehe, it seems that history is quite interesting, obviously it was Yushiba Hideyoshi who wanted to kill Oda Nobutaka, and in my time, it became Oda Nobutaka who wanted to kill Yushiba Hideyoshi.

Of course, this kind of thought is only Yoshimitsu Kataha's time, and since Oda Nobusumi didn't come because of Kobe Nobutaka, then I can talk to him in a normal tone.

But at this time, I heard Oda Nobusumi say:

[Actually, on my way here, I passed by the mansion of the Yushiba family, and I heard several Qiben samurai of the Yushiba family scolding the street at the door......]

【Nani ......】

My eyes widened, this kind of [educated] behavior is also something that the dignified million-stone Daimyo Yuchai family can do? It really opened my eyes!

Oda Nobusumi was not surprised at all, he sneered and said:

[Kogoro, what's there to be surprised about? Although Hideyoshi Hashiba is now a samurai in the sea, he can be regarded as a master, but don't forget that he is just the son of a peasant, and he has not studied for a few days, so he must have neither learned nor cultivated...... Don't you have a saying, it's called [The dragon gives birth to the dragon and the phoenix gives birth to the phoenix, and the son of the mouse will make holes], Yuchai is a ...... of the mouse]

[Okay, okay, everyone is in trouble now, you just say a few words, lest you turn back and the gods and Buddhas punish you for being open-mouthed......]

[Hehe, that's true. 】

Seeing him smiling, I suddenly felt a little disgusted.

Having embraced the new idea of "natural human rights, equality for all", I instinctively resented his contempt for peasants and other lower-class laborers, even though I knew that in this day and age, this concept was not wrong at all.

[So, out of curiosity, I walked over and chatted with them, and among them, there were two imps who took the lead, one was called Kato Toranosuke, and the other was Fukushima Ichimatsu. 】

Good guy, [Cheap Yue Seven Guns] made you meet two at once, and your luck is really good.

Listen to their voices, the one who is scolded...... Hehe, Kogoro, people always say that you are resourceful, guess who is being scolded? 】

I almost didn't have a sip of water coming out, and you don't have any hints at TMD, how can I guess?!

[Could it be Lord Shibata Katsuie, whom Hashiba Hideyoshi hates the most? ] 】

[It's not.] 】

[Or...... Is it Takigawa Kazuki-sama? 】

[Not really.] 】

[Is it the General...... That's not right, if they insult the general so unscrupulously, they will only be caught...... Forget it, I can't guess, just tell me which unlucky ghost it is. 】

[It's boring...... Let me tell you, I would never have thought of it, it was the governor of Kyoto Prefecture, Lord Sasa Kiyozo! 】

【Sasa Kiyozo? 】

[That's right. 】

Why him? 】

[What's this...... I chatted with the two little ghosts of the Yushiba family, and they thought that it was Sasa-sama who slandered Yushiba in the back.]

I tilted my head and thought for a moment, if this matter was done by Shibata Katsuie or Takigawa Kazuyi, then I would not be surprised at all, and I would even have a sense of smoothness and satisfaction in this matter...... Hey? Strange, what do I have to satisfy?

But if it's Sasa Kiyozo, then I don't understand it a little.

Sasa Kiyozo's father, Sasa Naimasa, is both a famous son of the Owari clan and the Genji clan, and he is indeed very dissatisfied with the lowly Hashiba Hideyoshi, but this was many years ago, and Sasa Narumasa died on the battlefield long ago.

I wouldn't be surprised if I said that Sasa Kiyozo, who is the nephew of Sasa Seimasa and the adopted son, inherited the personality and likes and dislikes of his ancestors, but .

Sasa Kiyozo is not much older than me, and his talent is not enough for him to compete with the old fritter Hashiba Hideyoshi, who has been in politics for many years.

Therefore, it is hard for me to imagine that he could have such a big means to conjure up such a rumor that shook.

Thinking of this, I asked Oda Nobusumi:

[So, is there any movement on Sasa Kiyozo's side?] Is the Shogun going to say that he will be summoned to Azuchi Castle to defend himself? 】

[No, it seems that Sasa-sama didn't know that he was also involved, and the general didn't mean to summon him. 】

[Well, this basically shows that the general is completely at ease with Lord Sasa, and Lord Sasa can basically be regarded as innocent. 】

[That's good, but what I can't figure out is, why does the Yushiba family think it's Sasa-sama? Shibata-sama and Takikawa-sama are also suspicious? 】

[Don't think about those ...... I've also thought about it, judging from the Shogun's current attitude towards Lord Yuchai, Lord Yushiba won't have anything to do this time......]

I didn't talk to Oda Nobusumi for long, and when I had finished talking to him about my thoughts, he sat down for a while and then got up and took his leave, saying that he was going to go to the Gamo clan, who had been pondering this issue lately, and that it was necessary for him to listen to my conclusions.

I don't have anything to say, these two people are really good friends!

As he was leaving, he said to me:

[Don't always ask me to come to you, no matter how big you are, don't forget your past friendships, come to my house to sit and sit when you have time, and we [the three generals] haven't gotten together for a long time. 】

[Well, when this time passes, I'm not so busy, and I'll prepare a banquet for you to come to the door.] 】

After seeing off Oda Nobusumi, I prepared a little and rode into the castle in a sedan chair to meet Oda Nobunaga.

Unlike the previous Hideyoshi Hashiba, I was easily received by Oda Nobunaga.

However, just like when I met Oda Nobusumi before, Oda Nobunaga didn't know what he had in mind, so he gave up the inner hall and chose to meet me in the back garden.

It's a funny coincidence.

The only difference was that the conversation took place not under a wooden shed covered with wisteria flowers, but by a pond with carp.

When I passed, Oda Nobunaga was by the pond, feeding the carp.

I knelt on the ground, and was about to say hello to him as I had done before, but he took the initiative to speak first:

[Before we get down to business, first of all, I would like to thank you for helping to save my two nieces. 】

[Huh? Shogun, do you already know? 】

[What's wrong?] Can't I, as a general, know more about things? Are you still going to report this to me personally, and then ask me for a reward? 】

[The little ones don't dare. 】

Oda Nobunaga's words almost choked me to death, this Oda family, is there anyone who can speak?!

Not only is Oda Nobunaga this kind of [non-stop speech], but Kahime always sings against me, by the way, and the tea tea this morning, it's all this virtue!

Oda Nobunaga handed the feeding bait to Moran Maru on the side, and walked over to me.

But he didn't say anything to get me up.

[Originally, your actions were indeed commendable, but I heard from the Asai family that you disregarded the dignity of a samurai, framed the ronin, and rolled on the ground like a leper dog......]

At this point, Oda Nobunaga suddenly stretched out a hand and pressed it my head.

I didn't expect him to come to this hand, and Oda Nobunaga's arm and wrist strength were very strong, and without the slightest resistance, my face slammed him to the stone slab on the ground.

【Hmm......】

The slate is made of large bluestone, and the hardness can be imagined.

I bared my teeth in pain.

[Ai Son-in-law] Mori Lan Pill was taken aback, and hurriedly shouted:

【General, Wise ......】

[Shut up!] Ranmaru! There's nothing to do with you here! Just give me a quiet look! 】

Hearing this, Oda Nobunaga was very angry, and it seemed that he was really angry.

Moranmaru gave me a sympathetic look, then shut up in a huff.

[You idiot! How can you be so shameless?! 】

Oda Nobunaga was still puzzled and struck me twice on the back of the head.

[You are not only an official of the shogunate appointed by me, and you are the son of me, Oda Nobunaga!] Such a humiliating thing was done! It's a good thing those catchers and ronins don't know your identity, otherwise I would have ...... too]

Oda Nobunaga scolded people, and it was endless.

And I have a splitting headache, and my heart is even more unhappy.

MD！ I don't want to do such a shameful thing!

But the problem is that the author has to write like this, and what else does he say [I want to take this opportunity to satirize those Long Aotian in all online articles].

But then again, Oda Nobunaga called me "son" again, which is really ......

Ever since my mother died, I've slowly begun to treat Mrs. Nohime, my mother-in-law, as a mother, but even so...

I can't do it to treat you Oda Nobunaga as my father!

Because I really can't imagine what my life will be like with a father like you?

Finally, when he finished scolding, he took his hand away.

I hurriedly raised my head, and it hurt terribly.

【You...... Hum! Only this time, dare to do this next time, see how I clean you up! 】

Oda Nobunaga wanted to say something, but when he saw me grinning and stroking my swollen face, he didn't say any more.

I don't know if it's my delusion, but just now I saw him in the eyes of looking at me, there was a brief burst of distress, regret, love and concern.

Hey? What's going on here?

This has never been done before.

[Please forgive the general, the little one just wants to find something fresh and have some fun, but I didn't expect it to disgrace the general, it's really hard to escape the blame, and the little one must take it as a warning. 】

[Well, this is like a human saying, since you already know that you are wrong, then I will not pursue it...... Well, it's been a long time since I got down to business. 】

(Watching the protagonist being beaten, no matter what I think about the author, it's very happy.)

The plot of the protagonist saving Cha Cha was originally used to spoof Long Aotian, Long Aotian was a hero to save the beauty, in fact, he was pretending to be B, and then [Wild Dog Rolling] was that many Long Aotian regarded the ruffian-like, flowing second-rate appearance as handsome and cool, saying anything casual and free, in fact, it would only attract annoyance.

I really hope that in other novels, there will be a sensible person like Oda Nobunaga, who will come out and beat those stupid B dragons up fiercely. ）

Even though my face still hurt terribly, I could only put my hand down after hearing Oda Nobunaga's words.

[The general is aware that the small one has indeed come to report something. 】

[Well, you won't come to talk about me for the sake of monkeys, right? 】

Speaking of this, I noticed that Oda Nobunaga's expression was undisguised with disgust, and it seems that in the past two days, there must have been many people who have come to see him with this purpose.

Since that's the case, then I'm ......

[No, Lord Yuchai's matter, you can make a decision, General-sama Liberty, how dare we as courtiers speculate on your mind? 】

[Huh? 】

Oda Nobunaga looked at me with puzzled eyes, and then said:

What do you say? The matter of the monkeys caused a lot of uproar, and even His Majesty the Emperor of Kyoto sent someone to ask me if it was really the case......]

Of course, the imperial court will care about this matter, and the Yuchai Army is close at hand.

[And the people around me are not idle, Sanqi, Changke, (Matsui) Tomo, and others have come to ask me whether this matter is true or not. What will happen to the monkeys in the end. And Gonroku and Hikoemon, who have a bad relationship with the monkey, don't know if they chose to remain silent in order to avoid suspicion......]

At this point, Oda Nobunaga came to me again.

This time he didn't come to beat me, but stared into my eyes and asked with a blazing face:

[Whether it is asking or being silent, it has been explained before that they are very concerned about this matter,]

At this point, he touched my head with his hand.

In that way, it is as if the teacher is comforting the [bad student] who has made a mistake.

[However, when it comes to your wise Kogoro, it seems to be completely different, judging from what you just said and the tone of your speech, it seems that you yourself have not been affected at all, and you are completely like what you should be doing...... You really don't have any interest in such a big thing? 】

[It can't be said that there is no interest at all......]

I tilted my head and thought about it, and said:

[Originally, when I heard the news from the Asai family, I was also surprised, but then I heard Mrs. Aichi say, "General, you have made the decision to let Hashiba-sama reflect at home, and I feel much more relieved. 】

【Peace of mind? 】

[Yes, the general has already made his own decision, please control this matter in our hands, what do we need to worry about? …… Although I'm the shogunate, I'm actually a bastard boy who doesn't know anything, and if something happens, it's useless, but fortunately, there are you, the shogun, as long as you are by our side in command, no problem is a problem, which makes people feel at ease, even if the sky falls, there is a giant like you......]

[Shut up!] Let you talk about things, not for you to flatter here! What else am I topping? If I can withstand it alone, do I still need to support you retainers......]

Although it was a reprimanding tone, in fact, I could feel that my sycophants were very much to his liking--because this guy was originally a person who likes to show off, and I called him a [giant] who supported the sky alone, and he must be proud in the bottom of his heart.

This is the skill of speaking, good words do not have to be sensational, but they must be to the bottom of the listener's heart.

I noticed that Moriranmaru quietly gave me a thumbs up.

[Forgiveness, in short, I mean that since you have made a decision, General, then I have nothing to say. 】

[Nothing to say? Hum! Okay, I'm going to ask you now, how do I deal with the aftermath of this matter? 】

[Aftermath? Are you talking about what to do with Hashiba-sama? 】

[Yes, regardless of whether the monkey really rebelled or not, his men and horses have already arrived at Lake Biwa, and if they are not handled properly, it is likely to cause disaster.] 】

[Wait a minute, General...... What does [whether] mean? Could it be ......]

Oda Nobunaga raised his folding fan and made an impatient look.

[I've sent someone to investigate, this rumor was first spread by a group of small people in the market, and they said that they also heard it from other people's mouths, and my people found out a trace of Iga's remnants in the end! 】

【Iga? Could it be that the Iga ninja is ......]

I can't imagine that after so many years of the destruction of the Iga ninjas, the remnants of the party can still create such a big movement, which is really amazing.

[It's a pity that those damn rat ninjas, before I sent someone to capture them, had already taken a boat, taken the sea route, and ran to Kanto, and it felt like a premeditated operation. 】

[In this case, Lord Yuchai should be innocent? 】

[Well, there is really nothing wrong with the monkey, but ......]

Oda Nobunaga suddenly showed a strange smile.

I've been with him for so many years, and I immediately judged it.

This guy is going to start regrouping again!

Sure enough, Oda Nobunaga's next sentence was:

[By the way, didn't I just say it, you can help me think about how to deal with the aftermath...... Well, you don't have to excuse yourself, it's up to you to make up your mind. 】

[Why do you have to ask me for advice?] 】

I pretended to be very embarrassed, but I kept thinking about it in my heart.

[If you don't handle it well, then Lord Yuchai won't hate me to death in the future? ] 】

Seeing my bitter gourd face, Oda Nobunaga immediately became very happy.

That's what you want.

But then again, how much bad taste does this person have!

Oda Nobunaga said that it was only for me to come up with ideas, but in fact, it was so simple, because as the ruler of the shogunate, whatever I thought and said had a high chance of being selected and becoming a national policy.

So this matter is by no means as simple as me and Oda Nobunaga joking, and it must be carefully considered.

[Shogun-sama, according to my humble opinion, no matter whether this Yuchai-sama has the intention of rebellion or not, he can no longer continue to take on the task of maintaining the security of Kyoto. 】

[Oh, even if you know that the monkey is innocent, you can't let him do it anymore? 】

Although Oda Nobunaga used a questioning tone, there was no special reaction in his eyes.

It seems that my thoughts have long been expected by him.

Yo West! Looks like I'm right!

As long as you can keep up with Oda Nobunaga. Basically, there is no problem.

[Yes, this rumor has spread to every corner of so quickly, but I am afraid that the current people are extremely afraid and disgusted with Lord Yuchai, at this time, even if the General comes out in person to clarify the facts for Lord Yushiba, I am afraid that the bad impact of this matter will not be eliminated...... At least for a short time, the effects will linger around the rural people. 】

[Well, my headache is also this, now there are only ten days before the spring festival, how can it be possible to make the people of Kyoto feel at ease within these ten days? 】

Oda Nobunaga took a sip of tea and said:

[If the monkey army is stationed in Kyoto, there is a chance that it will cause panic among the people of Kyoto...... At that time, not to mention the Kasuga Festival, I'm afraid that the people of Kyoto will not dare to go out for fear of the war, or simply flee Kyoto......]

At this point, his eyes suddenly became extremely fierce, and his expression began to distort.

Senranmaru and I were shocked at the bottom of my heart at the same time.

Not good! This guy is going to be angry!

Sure enough, Oda Nobunaga grabbed the tea bowl he had just used to drink tea and threw it towards a rockery not far away.

With a click, after a close contact with the rockery stones, the precious tea bowl immediately cracked into several petals and fell to the ground.

[General, please stop your anger! 】

Mori Ranmaru and I bowed down at the same time and said, and the latter then scolded the stunned little guys on the side:

[What are you goddamn people doing there?! Hurry up and pick up the fragments of the tea bowl, turn around and the general walked there and injured his foot, don't think about being responsible for your death 10,000 times! 】

The men were startled and hurriedly ran over.

Although my son-in-law looks quite motherly, his martial arts cultivation is very good, and it is said that he has been personally instructed by Oda Nobunaga, which is really enviable.

Different from the usual gentleness and generosity, at this time, his face is angry and stern, however, this is also something that cannot be helped, as the leader of the attendants around Oda Nobunaga, if he is not fierce and mean, he will not be able to suppress this group of pampered and arrogant guys.

[Okay, Lan Maru, no matter how good the tea bowl is, it's just a dead thing! ] 】

On the contrary, Oda Nobunaga calmed down first, and he waved his hand, signaling Moriranmaru not to be too presumptuous.

[Forget it, compared to the large amount of money I invested for the Spring Festival, the value of this thing is not mentioned...... Originally, everything was almost ready, just waiting for the spring festival to begin, the shogunate and the imperial court, as well as the people of the world, came to enjoy the peaceful and prosperous world together, hum! Now it's ruined by these ninjas.,Of course.,The shogunate has strong financial resources.,Since this money can be spent.,Of course, it's also earned.,It's just.,I'm Nobunaga and the face of the entire shogunate.,Where to put it?!!! 】

Face? It's face again!

I suddenly felt that Oda Nobunaga was overly stubborn, and his insistence on [face] made me feel incomprehensible, maybe the big guys are all this virtue.

Just when I was alone in my thoughts, Oda Nobunaga spoke again:

【Kogoro! You're bored there and don't speak, do you want to stand up for a corpse?! …… If you don't die, give me an idea of what to do so that the spring festival can be done! 】

【……】

I suddenly felt a little wronged, I would be scolded when I spoke, and I would be scolded if I didn't say it, why was my life so bad?!

What we need to do now is not as simple as we see.

The first is to appease the emotions of the people.

Second, what to do with Hideyoshi Hashiba, with his army.

Third, what should we do with this spring festival?

Mori Ranmaru said suddenly:

[Wise lord, in fact, I think that this spring festival is not only a matter of the shogunate, but also a matter of the whole of Japan, the reason why the shogun painstakingly planned this matter is also to test the trust of the people in the shogunate...... In short, the Shogun is very disappointed because of this. 】

【……】

Listening to his words, I glanced at Oda Nobunaga again.

It wasn't until this moment that I really understood what Oda Nobunaga was thinking.

Maybe it was influenced by the history books, or maybe it was always [coerced] by him, but in my heart, I always regarded him as a tyrant and deliberately kept a distance from Oda Nobunaga.

But in fact, I have never noticed that Oda Nobunaga is also a human being, he is not a real demon king, and joys and sorrows are inevitable for him.

And what he thinks about [the world's martial arts] is not only to seize the world, but also how to better govern the world.

Let the prosperous world he created be passed down through the ages, this is his true ambition, this is the most amazing idea.

However, in this case, the distrust of the people towards the shogunate caused a heavy blow to his heart, and the prosperity without the people as a foundation was destined to not last long.

[Shut up!] Ranmaru! You're talking too much! 】

Oda Nobunaga scolded Moriranmaru as he gently bit the nail of his left thumb.

Biting his lip and then his nails has become a precursor to his sulking and even anger in his life recently.

[Hehe, actually, Mori-sama is right, but not all right. 】

I smiled, and Moriranmaru's eyes widened.

Oda Nobunaga smiled slightly and said coldly:

[What's [not all right]?! What kind of person am I, Oda Nobunaga, and how could I be lost because of such a thing...... Ranmaru, if you talk more next time, I don't care if you are the son of Kecheng, Kogoro's son-in-law, I will still tear your mouth apart! 】

If you scold people, you will scold people, what are you going to drag me on?!

However, even so, I have to follow Oda Nobunaga's heart:

[Exactly.] Mori-sama, you're worrying too much...... People want to live with love and hate, they want to trust others completely, but they are constantly doubting others. In this world, there are no people who can distinguish between trust and hatred, so there are ...... talents]

[Half-believing is the real attitude? 】

Before Moran Maru could speak, Oda Nobunaga spoke first:

[In this case, Kogoro, is this mentality also between you and my father and son? ] 】

【……】

I didn't dare to speak, and I felt very sorry in my heart.

It's really hateful, this guy in front of me who makes things difficult for me everywhere actually uses the topic to play!

Wrong! No way!

I can't be angry! It's Oda Nobunaga, and it's a character I can't handle!

On second thought, although he always suppressed himself, if I myself were angry, what would the result be?

Wouldn't that make things go in the worst direction?

I've got to think about what to say......

After some deliberation, I finally suppressed the anger in my heart and said:

[General, what I just meant was that there are no spotless people in the world, and there are no more vicious people. Moreover, since ancient times, the fear of court officials or shogunate samurai has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and if the people do not clearly say whether the shogun can be trusted or not, there is no problem......]

[This is also called no problem?] 】

[Yes.] 】

When I said this, I suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Aren't we talking about how to deal with it?

How did it suddenly become a "Relationship Seminar"?

But now that the topic has been opened, let's just bite the bullet and finish it.

[In any case, it shows that the people of are a group of people who keep a clear head...... Half-believing is enough, and half-believing is a sign that they will neither guard against nor trust the shogunate...... Omission, even if you listen to rumors, it's just a suspicion, and it's not a big mistake if it's wrong, do you say that's the truth? 】
