"Your Highness, Your Highness. Do you see that the concubine looks good in this dress? Oda dogs, dressed in pink costumes, swung around in front of Hosokawa Nobumoto.

"Good-looking, good-looking." Hosokawa Nobumoto lies on his side on Mochizuki Yuki's lap and admires the Oda dog jumping around.

"What about the red one?" The Oda dog picked up a big red costume and measured it back and forth.

"Good-looking, good-looking." Nobumoto Hosokawa yawned.

"Wouldn't the red be too bright?"

"Then wear pink."

"Isn't pink too plain?"

"Uh, that's red."

"Your Highness, which one is it?" The Oda dog threw down his costume and came close with a pout.

"Madame looks good in everything." Naotora Ii, who was kneeling on the side, spoke.

"That's right, that's right. Naohu was right. Hosokawa Nobumoto hurriedly found a staircase to go down.

"Really, why are you so perfunctory as a concubine." The Oda dog stopped doing it and lay on the couch and coquettish.

"Third sister~~Third sister~~, I didn't perfunctory, besides, isn't it just a New Year's banquet, as for it, didn't it all come over like this before?" Hosokawa Nobumoto hurried over to appease.

"This time it's different! This time it's Kyoto! It's going to Kyoto! The Oda dog protested loudly, and Hosokawa Nobumoto helplessly looked at Tsukiyuki and begged for help, but the latter shrugged his shoulders and said that he couldn't help.

In the 13th year of Eiroku (1570), the New Year was destined to be extraordinary, and Shogun Yoshiaki applied to the Imperial Court to change the name of the year to Motokame, and issued an edict to the daimyo in various regions inviting them to come to the newly built Nijo Imperial Palace to celebrate the New Year.

"Kyoto is so lively, it's much better than before, but it's still a little worse than our Devon City. Hey, what is it? The Oda dog still put on the pink costume and floated around like a butterfly, looking at everything fresh.

It was a small puppet shop, small but full of all kinds of puppets.

Hosokawa Nobugen is not interested in this, this time he came out to have fun with them, this annual meeting, nominally invited by General Yoshiaki, in fact, it was all Oda Nobunaga's order.

Therefore, all the famous people from all over the country came, and the independent daimyo alone included Yoritsuna Koji, Nagamasa Asai, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Tayama Takamasa, Hosokawa Fujiken, Isshiki Yoshimichi, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, Matsunaga Hide, etc.

Of course, there are those who have come, and those hostile forces are just that, what annoys Oda Nobunaga the most is that Asakura Yoshikei, the governor of the Echizen Asakura family, refused to come, and he couldn't even come with the guardian of Wakasa Province, Muto Motoaki, he is now a puppet of the Asakura family, and he is under house arrest in Ichijo Valley Castle.

Maybe Oda Nobunaga wanted to do something, and he actually ordered Oda retainers to take troops with them when they went to Luo, and it seemed that they were going to open their eyes.

Therefore, in addition to Hosokawa Nobumoto and the third lady coming to Kyoto, there were also 1,300 troops of the Omi people and the Netherworld Iron Cavalry, which were stationed in the suburbs and stood by.

This New Year is full of gunsmoke, and even Niko Motohisa, who is far away in Izumo Province, will spend the New Year surrounded by the Maori army.

At the end of last year, Morimoto personally sat in Kitakyushu to intimidate the Otomo family. Secretly sent Mori Terumoto, Yoshikawa Motoharu, and Kobayakawa Takakei to lead an army of 15,000 to quickly return to help, and besieged Tsukiyama Tomita Castle, the residence of Niko Motohisa, and it has been two or three months now.

"Your Highness, look, are you cute? Hehe..."Oda Inu bought a pair of puppets to show off, interrupting Hosokawa Nobumoto's thoughts.

"Cute, cute." Hosokawa Nobumoto nodded blankly, the defense of Gassan Tomita Castle was a key battle for the revival of Niko, and in history, Niko Motoshi was lost for a long time and was driven out of Izumo Province again.

"Humph! As soon as I saw His Royal Highness's thoughts, he didn't have to be on the concubine's body, and it was difficult to come out to play, so I couldn't think of those troubles! "Oda dog is not happy, his husband is half a year long, and he is not around for a few months, and now the family is finally reunited, but he is wandering out of the world.

"Alright, alright, it's all my fault. See! There's your favorite osmanthus cake over there! Hosokawa Nobumoto put his troubles out of his mind, since he decided not to send more people to Niko Motohisa, he just wanted to see how far he could go.

"Ukyo-sama!" A call came from behind him.

"Wise Lord!" Hosokawa Nobumoto turned around and saw Akechi Mitsuhide leading a little girl.

"What a coincidence, I also bought puppets for Yuzi." Akechi Mitsuhide touched Tamako's head dotingly, and she was playing with a small puppet in her hand.

"Yes, what a coincidence, the daughter of a wise adult is a real sign, and when she grows up, she will definitely be a beauty who will captivate the country and the city." Hosokawa Nobumoto looked down at Akechi Tamako, who was slightly frightened and ducked behind Akechi Mitsuhide.

"Tamako is not afraid, this is Lord Hosokawa Ukyo of the Oda family, but he is the number one wise general in the world."

"The world's first wise general? Is it better than my father? Wise Tamako walked out slowly and timidly observed Hosokawa Nobumoto.

"Hahahaha, Yuzi's father is the first wise general in the world, and he only dares to be second." Hosokawa Nobumoto laughed and held Akechi Mitsuhide.

"I knew that my father was the most powerful in the world!" Wise Yuzi smiled happily, and in the eyes of children, parents are the greatest.

"You-sama, you, hehe... It's too much love. Akechi Mitsuhide smiled apologetically and accepted Hosokawa Nobumoto's kindness.

"By the way, Lord Youjing, the failure to come to the Asakura Hall this time is really due to the accidental wind chill and poor health." As soon as the conversation turned, Akechi Mitsuhide's understatement attracted Hosokawa Nobumoto's attention.

"Huh? Is it......" Hosokawa Nobumoto replied simply, thinking about the deep meaning of Akechi Mitsuhide, playing with such a resourceful person is a brain-drain.

"yes, I've heard that Danmasa-sama isn't happy about this. As a member of the Oda family, Lord Ukyo should be comforted, so as not to hurt his body by Danzheng's anger. "Akechi Mitsuhide looks like he cares about Oda Nobunaga.

I see, I wanted to be a lobbyist to avoid the Oda family and the Asakura family from fighting each other. But why? Why should he be thankless? Hosokawa Nobumoto, who returned to the teahouse trading house, pondered the words of Akechi Mitsuhide during the day.

"Your Highness, judging from the current information, Wise Mitsuhide has secretly taken refuge in the main hall." Mochizuki was sorting out information on the side, and he was called by Hosokawa Nobumoto to collect information on Akechi Mitsuhide.

"Yes. It stands to reason that since he is the lord of the people, why do you still think about the Asakura family? Also, why do you think it is most appropriate for me to admonish me? "Hosokawa Nobumoto is only familiar with historical plots and character personalities, but he is still a little lacking in strategy.

"Maybe it's because Lord Wise once came out of the Asakura family, and I think that Your Highness, you are the righteous brother of the Asakura Palace, and you shouldn't want to see the two families have a grudge." Over the years, she has been exposed to information for many years, and Mochizuki's analytical skills have been greatly improved, and she has seen the essence of things more thoroughly.

"That's it! I see, I see. In this way, the character of the character corresponds, and Akechi Mitsuhide is a person who is very nostalgic. ”
