Inside the Tsugawa Castle Castle, there were already a lot of people sitting at this time. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Soji Tsugawa sat on the main seat, with Saigo Kizo, Ogasawara Nobutoki, Togo Yoshisuke, and Takahashi Koke and Yamamoto Ichiro lined up on either side. In the back sat Yasunaga Ogasawara and Akechi Mitsuhisa, among others.

At this time, Soji Tsugawa spoke up, "The fact that you can be selected among so many candidates proves that you do have a skill." ”

"This family selects talents this time, regardless of their background, they only talk about their talents."

"Yasunaga Ogasawara, Kiuchi Nagaru!" Soji Tsugawa called.

"Hah!" Yasunaga Ogasawara and Nagaru Kiuchi hurriedly responded.

"Hmm." Soji Tsugawa looked at the two of them and nodded, "I have heard Saigo Kizo and Ogasawara Shin mention it before the two of you're famous, and it's really a blessing for my family to finally see the two of them today."

"Your Highness has praised it." Yasunaga Ogasawara and Nagara Kiuchi hurriedly said modestly.

Soji Tsugawa smiled and continued, "I've already read the test questions of the two of you just now, and it's very good. ”

"Yasunaga Ogasawara is good at agricultural affairs, so I will appoint you as the deputy of Saigo Kizo, the head of the family's agricultural affairs, and temporarily serve as the general of Ashigaru, with a salary of 100 koku a year, to assist Saigo Kizo in handling the family's agricultural affairs."

"Thank you, my lord!" Yasunaga Ogasawara said excitedly. When he was at Shinano's Ogasawara family before, Ogasawara Yasunaga had been suppressed by the main family, and now he finally has a chance to show his ambitions.

Soji Tsugawa then looked at Kiuchi Nagoru and said, "Kiuchi Nagaru is good at planning and bookkeeping, and he also appoints you as the family's Ashigaru general, with an annual salary of 100 koku, and is the deputy of Ogasawara Nobutoki, who is the family's economic executive, and assists Ogasawara Nobusaki in handling the family's business affairs." ”

"Hah! Thank you, Lord! Kiuchi said with a calm face.

Kiuchi was also very excited when he was like this, but he tried to restrain himself from showing it. After all, on such an occasion, you still have to pay attention to it.

Saying that, Tsugawa Soji looked at Akechi Mitsuhisa and the others on the other side and said, "The family is currently short of military talents, especially the middle and lower level samurai. A few people who passed the martial arts test this time, let's start from the head of the family's ashikazu, 50 stone a year, and grant the status of a samurai, how about it? ”

"There is no objection under it!" "Thank you, Lord!" Among the 8 people, Kenjiro Torima and Shinda Nobuyhiro took the lead in expressing their position.

"Hmm." Soji Tsugawa then looked at Akechi Mitsuhisa and the others and said, "What about you? ”

Akechi Mitsuhisa said calmly, "Tsugawa Hall, in Shimomino Wise House Wise Mitsuhisa, it is really a great blessing in life to be able to see the heroic posture of Tsugawa Hall!" ”

"However, this time we came to Senhoku County from Mino, not simply to get out of the Shizugawa family."

Soji Tsugawa nodded and said, "I want to hear about it!" ”

"So let's get straight down!"

"Dare to ask the Tsugawa Hall if you know about the Mino Toki family?" Akechi Mitsuhisa raised his head and looked into the eyes of Soji Tsugawa and said.

Tsugawa Soji's eyes froze when he heard this, nodded and said, "I have also heard of the name of Minong's guardian of the Toki family, I don't know what happened to the Toki family when you mentioned it for a long time?" ”

"Actually, I'll ask Jinchuan Hall another question in the next place."

"Please!"

Akechi Mitsuhisa paused, then said, "Does Tsugawa Hall know the relationship between the Tsugawa family and the Toki family?" ”

"I still know this." Soji Tsugawa nodded.

"According to the family lineage, the family was also born in the Toki family. It has been more than 100 years since the first family governor Zong Chenggong changed the name of the family Miao character to Jinchuan. Tsugawa Soji said slowly, "The main family is a division of the Toki family, and the Toki family is dripping, speaking of which, the Mino Wise family is also a branch of the Toki family." ”

Tsugawa Soji also learned about these news in a conversation with Kuroda Iekane by chance, and then Tsugawa Soji crossed the family tree handed down by the Tsugawa family, and then learned that the Tsugawa family was actually a branch of the Mino Toki clan, the authentic Seiwa Genji.

But Tsugawa Soji, who didn't have much of a cold, didn't care too much about these, and now he suddenly heard Akechi Mitsuhisa talk about this, and Tsugawa Soji was still a little surprised.

Akechi Mitsuhisa breathed a sigh of relief at this time and said, "Tsugawa Palace, I really don't hide it. This time, when the next group came to Senhoku-gun, they didn't come here to come to the Shizugawa family at first. ”

"What's that for?" Soharu Tsugawa is not surprised. After all, Akechi Mitsuhisa and the others came from Mino Country, and if it shows that Tomomitsuhisa and the others came to take refuge in Mino after hearing about the reputation of the Tsugawa family, Tsugawa Soji would never believe it.

Although the Tsugawa family is now a little famous, the family name is most spread in the Ou area, and I am afraid that there is no news of the Tsugawa family in some parts of the Ou area. Therefore, in the distant territory of Mino, there will be no rumors of the Tsukawa family.

So why did Akechi Guangjiu and the others rush to Xianbei County thousands of miles away? Tsugawa Soji was puzzled and waited for the next step of Akechi Mitsuhisa.

Wise Mitsuhisa hurriedly replied, "Actually, the next group of people came to Xianbei County this time to escort the young master of the family, Xiong Wang Maru. ”

"Kumaomaru? The young master of the Toki family? Soji Tsugawa asked.

"Hah! The young master of Xiongwangmaru is the sister-in-law of Lai Cungong, the lord of a small city in the Tuqi family. Not long ago, Mino guardian Saito Toshimasa exiled the head of the family, Lai Yigong, and stole Mino Province. Lai Yigong was nowhere to be found, and in desperation, he could only escort the young master to escape according to Lai Cungong's wishes. After thinking about it again, I decided to come to Xianbei County to take refuge in the Tsugawa Palace! Wise Guangjiu said slowly.

Soji Tsugawa nodded, "Saito Toshimasa's theft of Mino Province has been heard of even if the family is far away in the remote area of Ou. Saito Toshimasa has been blessed by the Toki family all his life, but he didn't expect to exile Lai Yigong, it's really hateful! Soji Tsugawa looked indignant.

Wise Mitsuhisa said helplessly, "Saito Toshimasa's wolf ambition was suspicious before, but after all, people are soft-spoken, and there is nothing they can do about it." After the full strength of the main family was slowly elevated by Saito Toshimasa, Saito Toshimasa finally couldn't help but make a move! ”

"It's a pity that Lai Yigong even gave up Mrs. Fukayoshino in the side room to Saito Toshimasa, but Saito Toshimasa still didn't let Lai Yigong go." Wise Guangjiu said with a sigh.

"But fortunately, it was finally a smooth escort to the young master of Kumagomaru to escape from the land of right and wrong in Mino, and I hope that the Tsugawa Hall will be able to take in the young master of the Kumagomaru and the Tsugawa Hall for the sake of being the same Toki family, and I am grateful!" Wise Guangjiu finished speaking, and bowed heavily.

As soon as Akechi Mitsuhisa's words fell, Takashi Toyama and his wife Hirohiro Tsuki, who were behind him, also hurriedly saluted.

Tsugawa Soji hurriedly said, "You don't need to be polite, since Xiong Wangmaru is the descendant of Lai Cungong, how can this family not accept it?" ”

Hearing Tsugawa Soji say this, Akechi Mitsuhisa and the others hurriedly showed a grateful look.

Soji Tsugawa then asked, "I wonder who the two behind Akechi-sama are?" ”

"Oh, this is my nephew Akechi Jubei, and the other is a retainer of Shibei, Kotaro Yoshino." Wise Guangjiu hurriedly said.

Tsugawa Soji nodded slightly, and suddenly, Tsugawa Soji turned his head suddenly, stared straight at the wise Shibei not far away, and said loudly, "Who do you say he is?" ”
