Chapter 321: Cheongju Conference

Croak...... The sound of people coming from the Ohiroma was heard today, and today it was the important ministers of the Oda family who were discussing the re-election of the new head of the Oda family.

"Be quiet! Be quiet! Niwa Nagahide tried his best to keep the meeting in order, but the noise between them was still incessant.

Shibata Katsuie, Hashiba Hideyoshi, Takigawa Kazuyi, Hayashi Xiuzhen, Sakuma Nobumori, Ikeda Tsuneko and other bigwigs arrived, and Hori Hidemasa, Maeda Toshiie, Sasa Narumasa, Inaba Kazutetsu, Kanamori Nagakin and other generals with heads and faces also arrived, but Hosokawa Nobumoto was missing.

The current Hosokawa Nobumoto is seriously injured and is temporarily unable to attend this meeting, and only the Hosokawa family's Yoriki Gamo Fuxiu, Beeya Yoritaka, Yamauchi Kazutoyo, and Iio Naokiyo came to listen.

"I propose! Let His Royal Highness Hidekatsu inherit the unification of the Oda family! He is smart and clever, and he is the fourth man of the lord! "Hideyoshi Hashiba, who has a sharp beak and a monkey's cheek, proposed his recommended candidate: Oda Hidekatsu.

"His Royal Highness Xiusheng is indeed extremely intelligent, and he agrees." Hori Hidemasa sided with Hideyoshi Hashiba.

"That's right! Agree! Agree! "Takenaka Hanbei, Bee Suga Koroku and other pro-Yu Chai families also echoed, although they are not of high rank, but they occupy the vast majority.

Yuchai Hideyoshi looked at the rest of the ministers triumphantly, he was good at wooing, and he was also wooing regardless of whether he was high or low. Therefore, among the middle and lower class samurai of the Oda family, there is a very high affinity, and many people fall to him.

"No! Who doesn't know that Xiusheng is your adopted son! And he's only five years old! What are you trying to do? I want to cover the sky with one hand! Do you control the government! I disagree! Shibata Katsuya banged on the table and shouted loudly.

Oda Hidekatsu, the fourth male of Oda Nobunaga, when Hashiba Hideyoshi attacked Kotani Castle and made some achievements, Nobunaga gave Hideyoshi the title of general. However, Hashiba Hideyoshi was in a high position but had no children, so he passed Hidekatsu to Hideyoshi and named Hashiba Hidekatsu.

Now, in order to snatch the power of the Oda family, Hideyoshi Hashiba once again returned Hidekatsu Hashiba to the main family and changed his name to Oda Hidekatsu. Anyway, his wife Ning Ning has just given birth to a baby boy, and the Yuchai family has a successor.

"That's... Shibata-sama, what do you propose? "Niwa Nagahide is now neutral and acts as a mediator for all parties. This is also a helpless thing, other people's territories are all connected, but his territory is divided into two pieces, and they are all in the middle of each family, which is very embarrassing. His Wakasa Province is surrounded by Hosokawa Nobumoto, Tango Province, Hosokawa Fujitaka, and Echizen Province, Shibata Katsuie, and Omi Province, while the two counties of Omi Province, Aichi, and Inougami are surrounded by Hashiba Hideyoshi of Omi Province. Therefore, no matter where he goes, he has to pass through the territories of various families, and he is extremely smart, so he naturally becomes a mediator who travels to various families.

"I propose to His Highness Xincheng! He is both civil and military, and he is the son of the younger brother of the lord's own family, and he can be regarded as a descendant, and he should take over the position of the governor of the Oda family! Shibata Katsuie's voice was like a bell, and his eyes glanced at the others.

"Under the approval!" Sasa Narumasa was the first to agree, and he was a sworn friend of Shibata Katsuie.

"I agree with it below!" Maeda Toshiie and others also agreed, and the younger generation of Samurai in Owari respected Shibata Katsuie very much, and some even affectionately called him Daddy.

"No! I don't think so under it! His Royal Highness Xincheng's father was a rebel who sought to seize the position of the head of the family! How can the son of a rebel succeed to the throne! No way! This is absolutely not a no-go! "Takigawa Kazuki seriously protested, this Tsuda Nobusumi's father is Oda Nobuyuki! At that time, Nobuyuki rebelled and was killed by Oda Nobunaga, and his newborn son-in-law Nobusumi was adopted as an adopted son by the Shibata Katsu family and has been raised to this day.

"Then Takigawa-sama, which highness do you think is suitable?" Niwa Nagahide's Tai Chi is really perfect.

"Hmph, I think it should be His Royal Highness Xinxiao! First, His Royal Highness Xinxiao is benevolent and generous, and his ability is outstanding. Second, he is the third male of the lord, in order of eldest and youngest, and he should also be His Royal Highness Xinxiao! Takigawa Kazuki said as Kobe Nobutaka humbly bowed his head, and he has now also returned to his main sect and changed his name to Oda Nobutaka.

"That's right! Takigawa-sama is right! "Seki Shengxin and other Ise nobles strongly supported Oda Nobutaka, after all, Nobutaka is still very prestigious in Ise.

"You are all wrong, according to the order of the eldest and youngest, it should be His Royal Highness Xinbao, he is the younger brother of the lord and the mother. Isn't it? Ladies and gentlemen? Lin Xiuzhen interrupted their words, and took the opportunity to propose that Nagano Nobubo succeed him as the family governor. At this time, Nagano Nobuchi also returned to the main sect and was renamed Oda Nobubo.

"Lord Lin is right! It should be His Highness the Envelope! Sakuma Nobumori took the lead, and this was the first time that the candidate had the support of two important ministers.

"That's right! We agree! Mizuno Nobumoto and some other old ministers who were out of breath firmly stood on the side of Lin Xiuzhen, who was also out of breath.

"That's not right! It should be Xiusheng! He is the beloved son of the lord! Yushiba Hideyoshi's sharp voice did not give Lin Xiuzhen face at all.

"Nonsense! It should be Shinsumi! "Shibata Katsuya grew up watching Tsuda Nobusumi, and naturally he is oriented to his own family.

"It's His Royal Highness Nobutaka! It's His Royal Highness Nobutaka! "It's Your Highness! Envelope Your Highness! The hall was suddenly turned upside down and inextricably linked, and no one let anyone, everyone wanted to take the opportunity to benefit themselves.

"Stop arguing! Stop arguing, everybody! Listen to me! Oops..."Niwa Nagahide was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, he was caught in the middle, and everyone didn't listen to him.

"Ikeda-sama! Ikeda-sama, who do you think is the right person? In a hurry, Niwa Nagahide instantly found an outlet for firepower, and it was Ikeda Hengxing who was watching the lively Ikeda Hengxing leisurely on the side.

Swish! Ikeda Hengxing instantly became the center of attention, and almost all the important ministers on the scene disagreed, and his vote was crucial!

"Ahh I... Belch... This..."Being stared at by so many people, beads of sweat flowed down Ikeda's head. To tell the truth, in the Oda family, he belongs to a transcendent existence, don't look at Shoka as the last of the important ministers, but he is Oda Nobunaga's milk brother, and he is Nobunaga's most trusted person. Therefore, his words can directly affect many relatives of the Oda clan.

"Yes, Ikeda-sama, which of your Highnesses do you support? Isn't it Xiusheng? Hideyoshi Hashiba grinned, he thought that he usually had a very strong relationship with Ikeda Hengxing, so he directly opened his mouth to canvass for votes.

"Humph! How could Ikeda-sama choose a five-year-old doll! It must have been chosen by Xincheng, right? "Shibata Katsuya is not happy, this Hashiba Hideyoshi is simply too cunning.

"That's not right! It's the choice of letter and filial piety! "Envelope!" Not to be outdone, the other two factions hurried to canvass for votes.

"Uh... This one... "Ikeda Hengxing is divided, because of his special status, so he is very low-key on weekdays, and he has a good relationship with everyone here, as for who to choose?" Suddenly, he had an idea and said, "The choice of Xia and Hosokawa-sama is the same. ”
