Chapter 173 The mind has been decided

Oda Nobunaga, who was sitting on the throne, was not angry that a retainer objected to his proposal, after all, even he made this decision with a lot of determination, and only heard him ask lightly: "Gonroku, tell me what you think." (Novel Network, please remember me)"

The arrow was on the string, and I had to send it, only to hear Shibata Katsuya stubbornly say: "Please also ask the lord to marry Princess Ashi to his subordinates, and at that time, his subordinates will ......repay him with death."

Before Shibata Katsuya finished speaking, Nobunaga was furious, he was also a little reluctant to marry Ashi to Asai Nagamasa, I thought that Shibata Katsuya had some strategy, not to marry Ashi at the same time, let him stand firmly on the side of the family, but he really didn't expect that this Shibata Katsuya would say such shameless words, so while being angry, he said mercilessly: "Bastard, what is your identity, and dare to have such a thought, if it weren't for your diligence in the past, I would have given you a death today, Don't shut up yet."

Although Shibata Katsuya had already thought that this would probably be the result before he spoke, but after these words came out of the mouth of the lord, his mood was still extremely low, why did he work so hard? It's not to be with Ah Shi one day, but it seems that this wish will never come true.

In the eyes of Shibata Katsuya, there are only two most important things, one of which is power, and the other is the Ah Shi who made him think about it for a long time, and now the lord has decided to marry Ah Shi to Asai Nagamasa, and the sustenance in his heart is suddenly missing half, and his heart is half cold. Shibata Katsuya knew that he couldn't continue to speak, otherwise if he disobeyed the will of the lord, he still knew how serious the consequences would be, so after sighing secretly, he silently lowered his head and said no more.

Just when Shibata Katsuya was secretly sad, the retainers were also talking in a low voice, even if the retainers who didn't speak, they were sighing, and the lower-level samurai sitting outside the assessment room, after hearing that Princess Aichi was going to marry Princess Aichi far away to Kita Omi, had become a pot of porridge, their status was low, so they didn't have a lot of scruples like the important ministers in the assessment room, marrying Princess Aichi, for them, the blow was huge, in addition to coveting Aichi's beauty, they also saw this as a shortcut to promotion status.

The Oda family had more than seventy percent of the lower-ranking samurai, all between the ages of fifteen and twenty-five, and it was precisely because they were the same age as Princess Aichi that they often fantasized that one day, they would be appreciated by the lord and marry Princess Aichi as his wife, thus becoming a member of the lord's family, and if he could do so, then he would be able to fight for at least twenty years less.

But the truth is far from fantasy, before the lord discovers his shining place, Princess Ashi is about to get married, how can this not make them feel sad and regretful.

Oda Nobunaga has been sitting on the throne watching the performance of the retainers, because usually all the retainers will bury their thoughts about Aichi in the deepest part of their hearts, so even if Nobunaga knows that Achi is popular at home, but he really didn't expect that the retainers' love for him has reached the point of fanaticism.

However, the alliance and marriage with the Asai family is a foregone conclusion, there is no possibility of change, who makes himself too young, the eldest daughter under his knees is only five or six years old, and that Asai Nagamasa is over eighteen years old, how can he marry his daughter to him as the main room, even if he is willing to marry a daughter, then Asai Nagamasa will not be able to marry, with his current strength, it has not yet reached the point where he can feel frightened, if this incident leads to the two families not being able to get married, but resentment, it is better not to mention. Therefore, if you want to marry the two families, there is only Ah Shi.

Oda Nobunaga is choosing a husband for his favorite sister, so be cautious, otherwise Aichi would not have reached the age of seventeen and still hasn't married. Marrying him to Asai Nagamasa, Nobunaga also made the final decision after careful consideration. And Nobunaga is also very satisfied with Asai Nagamasa, according to a number of ninjas who were sent to the Asai family, his people are not only the same age and trend, but also very handsome in appearance, which is very compatible with the beautiful sister.

But in Nobunaga's eyes, this is not the most important, the most important thing for Nobunaga is his ability, when the Asai family was tossed to the brink of extinction by his father Asai Hisasa, only twelve years old, just the first to serve Asai Nagamasa, under the support of the retainers, under such conditions to take over as the governor, after the throne, the Asai family swept away the decadence of the past, under its command, but also with a weak force to break the Rokkaku and Saito two armies, the Rokkaku family began to collapse, thus reversing the situation of Omi Province in one fell swoop. ,

After that, Asai Nagamasa adopted a strategy of encroachment on the Rokkaku family step by step, and within a few years, his territory also expanded from 100,000 stone to the current 400,000 stone, and since then he has dominated the side. In terms of its record, even if it is not as good as itself, it is definitely outstanding in this era.

In terms of internal affairs, even Nobunaga, who has always been arrogant, is ashamed of himself, and in the land ruled by the Asai family, even if it is a village, Asai Nagamasa has to personally intervene, and the punishment is extremely fair, and some taxes are exempted from time to time, so that Asai Nagamasa is very loved by the people, which not only eliminates the possibility of rebellion in the territory, but also makes it much easier to carry out ashigaru mobilization before the war.

When Nobunaga learned of this, he wanted to do the same in his territory, but he really didn't have the patience to do it, and he had no choice but to stop it. Of course, after knowing that Asai Nagamasa was such a person, he strengthened his determination to marry his sister, and if Asai Nagamasa was really as stated in the intelligence, it would add a lot of help to the Oda family. And the strength of this Asai family is much stronger than that of the Matsudaira family.

Thinking of this, Oda Nobunaga couldn't help but look at the Takayama clan, at this moment, I saw the reaction of the clan and other retainers, there was a world of difference, other retainers were talking about it, sighing and sighing, and he sat there quietly with his eyes closed, Nobunaga saw this, and couldn't help but secretly praise, it can be said that he only discovered in recent months how important the Asai family is to the family, and this Takayama clan has realized this a long time ago, and in this matter, Nobunaga admits that he is not as good as the vision of the clan.

And what made Nobunaga feel most gratified was that most of the other retainers, including the Shibata Katsu family, who he had always relied on, wanted to marry Aichi and take the opportunity to improve his status in the family, but this Senbei was different, not only did he not want to marry Aichi, but he also proposed to marry him far away, Nobunaga immediately thought of the sentence that Senbei often talked about: subordinates are thinking about their own family.

Nobunaga knew that Senbei had thought enough about his family, and that a retainer like this, who was both capable and loyal, had been rewarded too little before, and that he would have to be rewarded again after he had made great achievements in the future, so as not to chill his retainers.

Nobunaga saw that although the retainers were still talking to each other and whispering, but after no one had spoken out to admonish, he took out the folding fan that he had put in his waist and struck it on the floor vigorously.

The assessment room and outside suddenly fell silent, and only Nobunaga said in an unquestionable tone: "There is no possibility of changing the alliance and marriage with the Asai family. After saying that, the chief of the letter shouted, "Someone." ”

"The subordinates are here, please give instructions to the lord." Naomasa, a close attendant who had been serving behind Nobunaga, immediately stepped forward and saluted in reply.

"Invite Princess Ashi, I have something to say."

After a while, I saw a girl wearing big sleeves and a tail kimono slowly walking out of the inner room, I saw that she was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and she was one meter and five meters tall.

And the retainers who looked at the start, now they can't care about being rude, they all look at Ah Shi directly, and the retainers can't help but think that Princess Ah Shi is about to leave, hurry up and take a look, now it's really a glance less.

The clan also took the opportunity to take a look at it, it was okay not to look at it, but at a glance, even the clan sect's gaze was unwilling to take his eyes off it. The title of the first beauty of the Warring States period is used on her, which is not too much at all, but I saw that Ah Shi just applied a little powder to make the sun and the moon dull, how can such a appearance be described as a country and a city? The clan was a little stunned.

Except for Nobunaga, who remained calm, the retainers behaved the same as the clan.

"Ah Shi has seen his brother." After giving a salute, Ah Shi said softly.

Nobunaga just nodded, and after Ah Ichi was seated, he spoke: "Ah Ichi, I have decided to marry you to Asai Nagamasa, are you willing?" ”

"It's all up to my brother." Ah Shi replied without any change in expression, since she became an adult, she had long known that she would have such a day, and her fate as the daughter of a martial artist was like this, and she had no right to refuse at all, and she could not refuse.

Nobunaga nodded in satisfaction, his eyes focused on the clan again, and he only heard him say, "Senbei"

"Subordinate" The clan sect hurriedly withdrew the gaze placed on Ah Shi, and after answering, he secretly thought in his heart, should the affairs of these two alliances be handled by Lao Tzu.

Sure enough, as the clan thought, he only heard Nobunaga say: "You are responsible for the alliance and marriage between the two families." Nobunaga couldn't help but think that although the retainers didn't talk about it, if they were allowed to go, they would not have to worry about it, and it seemed that the only way to do it was to let the selfless Senbei go. Nobunaga has now discovered that since then, the family has become more and more inseparable from this kid.

"It is the lord, and his subordinates will live up to the trust of the lord." Clan Zong said respectfully.
