"How is this possible?" The clan was also shocked after hearing this, if it was really according to what Akechi Mitsuhide said, then once Nobunaga acted like this, wouldn't it be a big mess in the world? Isn't Oda Nobunaga doing this with himself? When the time comes, not only will other powerful forces in the world attack him, but I am afraid that even the retainers of the Oda family will not be a few rebels, so what good will it do him?

Thinking of this, he only heard the clan speak: "Wise lord, I'm afraid this is just your guess, the emperor has not been in power for hundreds of years, how could the lord let the Oda family fall into a place of no return for the sake of a false name?" ”

"As Takayama-sama said, at first, he thought the same as the adults, although the lord forced His Majesty the Emperor to be a little unhappy in his heart, but the result was acceptable, but when he went to Gifu Castle to meet him that day, he heard the lord angrily outside the gate saying that the existence of the emperor had seriously hindered the development and that he would be uprooted when the time came.

And after returning from the next, after thinking about it carefully, I realized that the reason why the lord wants to let the son of Yongji inherit the throne is to facilitate the abolition in the future, please think, if the lord acts now, then it will definitely be attacked by other forces, and a large number of retainers rebel, and once succeeded by his grandson, it will be different, the lord can completely let his grandson abdicate by himself, so that he can block the mouth of Youyou, and with the strength of his family, I am afraid that he has already dominated the world, even if other forces are united, The family also has the power to fight. ”

After hearing this, the clan couldn't help but start thinking seriously, Nobunaga is really capable of this matter, and he has always refused to give up until he reaches his goal. Obviously, let the son of Yongji inherit. This was not Nobunaga's purpose at all. After all, if this is just the case, this step is completely meaningless, whether it is to let Prince Seihito, who is not yet dead, succeed to the throne, or let his grandson Prince Kazuhito succeed to the throne, as long as the royal family is not in power, then there is no impact on the Oda family at all, in this case, what else can Nobunaga do. It can only prove that he doesn't want the royal family to continue to pass it on.

This matter must be stopped.,The clan knows Nobunaga's temper very well.,Although it seems that this matter will take a long time.,Credible Chief will definitely not wait too long.,I'm afraid that a year or two is already Nobunaga's limit.,Even if Yonghime fails to give birth to an heir by then.,But at that time, Nobunaga will definitely conjure up one for it.。

The reason why the clan decided to advise Nobunaga was not that he had much affection for the Emperor Masakin-cho, but because he was in the knowledge of history, and he was very disgusted with the emperor. But if you think about it from the perspective of the Takayama family, then it must not be due to Nobunaga's temperament. At least until you take the Kanto region, you must not let it succeed. After all, he currently only has the land of Hida and Shinano Nine Counties, and I am afraid that for nearly a year, he will not be able to send out an army, and then his strength will not be enough, not only will it be hopeless to compete for the world, but even under the attack of the Eastern Kingdom, it is very likely that the Takayama family will be wiped out, after all, by that time, the Oda family will be enemies on all sides, and how can Nobunaga have extra troops to send to him. In the eastern country, although the Takeda family has declined, but the forces of Uesugi, Hojo, and Satake have united, and the main family is definitely not an opponent.

Thinking of this, I only heard the clan said, "I don't know what Lord Wise means? ”

"This matter will definitely be mentioned by the lord at the end of the year, and at that time, I will ask Lord Takayama to speak out against it with me, please."

I saw that the clan nodded and said: "Wise lord, please rest assured, for the sake of the Oda family, I will definitely advise the lord, but you also know the temper of the lord, I am afraid that it is only you and me, it is difficult to make the lord change his mind, it is better to unite with some important ministers in the family to advise together." ”

"What Takayama-sama said is reasonable, so I'll leave this matter to the next generation." Speaking of this, I only heard Akechi Mitsuhide say with some worry: "Lord Takayama, if Kinoshita Hideyoshi knows about this matter, I don't know if he will oppose it with me and the others?" ”

Now, with Kinoshita Toyoshiro entering Tsuda Castle and continuing to encroach on the territory of the Miyoshi family, the land under his control has reached nearly 100,000 stones, and this is not counting, in the last two years, it is said that the Harima Akamatsu family has returned to Shun, and wants Oda Nobunaga to ask Kuroda Kanbei to be with power, and after adding the recruitment of Konishi Yukicho as a retainer, it has been fully supported by Konishiya, it can be said that the current Kinoshita Toyoshiro has long been different from what it used to be, although the right to speak in the family is not as good as the Takayama clan, but the energy is definitely not to be underestimated.

That's what Akechi Mitsuhide is worried about, once the Kinoshita faction disagrees at the year-end evaluation meeting, adding the novelty of the lord, then it will be a little difficult to stop it.

"Wise Lord don't worry, if the lord didn't send Kuroda Kanbei to serve by his side, maybe he would really be against us, and now that there are Kanbei analyzing the situation in the world for him, I'm afraid that even if he wants to, he will have to go along with it, as for the rest of the Kinoshita faction, don't worry at all, even if it's for themselves, they will definitely oppose the lord."

"Since Takayama-sama said so, then I'm relieved."

"Lord Wise has come from afar, and the journey is tiring, so it is better to rest first, and then talk in detail." Now that this matter has been finalized, the clan sect couldn't help but say when he saw that Akechi Mitsuhide's face was tired.

"It's been arranged by Lord Lao Gaoshan."

Takayama Nobukatsu has always been by his father's side, so he listened to all the conversations just now, but after all, he was young, and the conversation between the two was too vague, so his mind was like a mess now.

Takayama Nobukatsu just wanted to ask his father for advice, but at this moment, he saw Hikoemon walk in quickly and said, "My lord, the Tokugawa family's envoy Ishikawa Shumasa asked to see him, and now that he has arrived outside the castle, please ask the lord to decide." ”

"Finally can't help it?" The clan said to himself with a slight smile, and after speaking, he saw him look at Gentaro beside him, and then said: "After all, the Tokugawa family and Oda have an alliance, Gentaro, you immediately go outside the city to greet you." ”

Ishikawa Shumasa, who was waiting outside the city, was extremely uneasy at the moment, and at the assessment meeting that day, although he explained to the lord that the Takayama clan's move was intended to reconcile with the family, but after all, it was just speculation, if the Takayama clan did not have this intention after meeting, then the humiliation to himself was small, and it would be difficult for the lord to carry out the great cause.

Just as he was pondering, he saw a young man walking out of the city quickly, and after seeing this young man appear, Ishikawa Shumasa couldn't help but chuckle, it seems that the Takayama clan has no intention of reconciling with the family, after all, he is also a Tokugawa minister, and he actually let the servants around him greet him, and his intention is self-evident.

"It's Ishidawa-sama? In the lower high mountains, Shinkatsu came to greet him at the behest of his father. ”

After listening to Ishikawa Shumasa, he couldn't help but be stunned, although Takayama Nobukatsu had not seen it, but he had also heard a lot that this person was the eldest son of the Takayama clan, and now he had just served in Yuanfu, and he was not a close attendant. Seeing that it was him, the depressed mood in Ishikawa Shuzheng's heart had long been swept away, although the Takayama clan had no arrangements for his eldest son, but this was his eldest son after all, if there was no accident, this son would inherit the Takayama family business in the future, and he came to greet him, which was enough to prove Takayama's intentions, it seems that he not only guessed correctly, but also came to the right place this time.

"Lord Rao Takayama came to greet him in person, and it was Ishikawa Shumasa who came to discuss with Hida Mamoru on behalf of the Tokugawa family this time."

"In that case, let's go with Lord Ishikawa into the castle."

When Ishikawa Shumasa was led to the door of a quiet room, he saw that the Takayama clan actually stood up and walked quickly to the door to greet him, this kind of treatment can be said to be the first time Ishikawa Shumasa has experienced, the Takayama clan is now a daimyo status, and acting like this can be said to be enough to give himself face.

Seeing this, Ishikawa Shumasa hurriedly saluted outside the door and said, "In Shimoshikawa Shumasa, meet Hida Mamoru Lord." ”

"Hurry up and excuse me, Lord Ishikawa is here, there is a disappointment in the next place, please forgive me for the rudeness." The clan quickly helped him up, and said enthusiastically over and over again.

"Lord Hida Mamoru is really too polite, with the status of the subordinate, how dare there be Lord Lao."

As they spoke, the Gao Shan clan and the others had already come to the quiet room, and after everyone was seated, they only heard the clan ask from the clan, "I don't know why your lord came this time." ”

Ishikawa wanted to feel the warmth of the spring breeze more, but now that the other party wanted to ask, he could only put aside these thoughts and start to get to the point. "Lord Takayama, I came here this time on the orders of the lord to resolve the conflict with the lord, if it is ......"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw that the clan sect's face sank, and he said unhappily: "What does Ishikawa-sama mean by this?" If the Oda family has the closest relationship with the Tokugawa family, I'm afraid that my Takayama family should be the first, did you forget that the Kiyosu clan was in the past, and in order to see the demeanor of the Tokugawa family, I asked for the reception of the matter, and the adults forgot that the three rivers had always erupted one by one, and I didn't even care about the land under my rule, and asked the lord to lead the army to rescue the Tokugawa family...... There is no contradiction between the two families, so how can they resolve it, it is difficult for the Dao Daochuan family to be hostile to my Gaoshan family? ”

If it weren't for the fact that he was now on the territory of the Takayama clan, Ishikawa Shumasa would have scolded him a long time ago, your Takayama clan said well, but when did you not take the opportunity to suppress the family, the benefits that were defrauded by you were more than the family's war losses, if it could, the family really didn't need the assistance of the Takayama family.

But I can think so in my heart, but I can't say that, after all, looking at the meaning of Lord Gao Shan, it means to repair the Lu, I'm afraid that he is afraid of losing face, so he said so.

Thinking of this, Ishikawa Shumasa not only did not get angry, but instead said: "What Hidamoru said is that he is in Xia Menglang. ”

Seeing that he had a correct attitude, he was not hypocritical, nodded and said: "This family and the Tokugawa family were just a little misunderstanding before, this is not any hatred at all, and now I have become a big name in Tokugawa-sama, how can I ruin the relationship between the two families for these trivial things, not only that, but the family must be closer to the Tokugawa family, after all, you and I will divide the eastern kingdom in the future."
