Just when the clan was thinking wildly, he only heard Nobunaga continue to speak: "This time I went to Kyoto to apply for an official position, it is up to you to complete it, and the official position must be promoted to one level, I will give you three months, do you understand?" ”

Clan Zong just wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but when he heard that Nobunaga actually gave him three months, he swallowed back the words that came to his lips. I have three months, and I can wait for my second child to be born before going to Kyoto, yes, that's it.

Thinking of this, I only heard the clan answer: "It is the lord, and the subordinates will live up to the trust of the lord." ”

Seeing that Senbei answered very happily, Nobunaga couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, and said, "Later, you will go to Murai Sadakatsu to withdraw a thousand kan as a contribution for this application for an official position, and this trip must not be successful." ”

It doesn't take long to apply for an official position, seven or eight days is enough, but if you want the court to grant the official position happily, then before that, you must do enough work, and this time can be long or short, if you can satisfy those ministers and His Majesty the Emperor, this is just a matter of moving your mouth, and it can be done in a moment.

However, if the other party's request is not met, or if they are dissatisfied, I am afraid that the time required will not be able to be completed in a while. Otherwise, there would not have been those samurai who only received a few words of praise and returned empty-handed, otherwise Nobunaga would not have given the clan three months to fully prepare.

But no matter how shrewd Nobunaga was, he would never have thought that as long as there were people in Kyoto who had official positions, they would owe a lot of money to the clan, and as long as he, a big creditor, went, to go, how could he not handle this matter?

After announcing a few more trivial things, Nobunaga adjourned the meeting and turned to the inner room.

Accompanied by many retainers of the Oda family. With that envious, jealous and hateful gaze, the clan sect left the assessment room and went straight to the worship office not far from the castle tower.

Murai Sadakatsu was also in the assessment room just now, after hearing that he was going to provide a thousand guan funds to the clan as a contribution to Kyoto to apply for an official position for the lord. As soon as the evaluation meeting ended, he trotted all the way to the office. Prepare for the Takayama clan.

When the clan clan arrived, he saw that Murai Sadakatsu had already prepared a golden judgment worth a thousand yuan.

After the two met, Murai Sadakatsu first thanked the clan for repairing Inabayama Castle last time. In the eyes of the clan, this is just a gesture. It captured the heart of Sadakatsu Murai, and I couldn't help but feel very happy.

Now, after all, he is a direct minister of Oda Nobunaga, and he is a family member, and he is one of Nobunaga's most trusted people, otherwise, he would have the heart to ask Nobunaga for someone. Let Murai Sadakatsu be his own and force.

However, then again, now that his identity is also a general, Zhixing already has 8,000 stones. In Oda's family, it's also a number of important ministers.,Credible chief didn't send a force to himself.,Although there are more retainers under his command.,But it's not so bullying.,It seems that you should take the initiative.,And it's not so much about the force.,It's better to be a retainer.,Wait until the change of the Honnoji Temple.。 Although these are still nominally and powerful, they are no different from the retainers under their command. Instead of cheapening others, it is better to apply for more yourself.

And. Don't look at the fact that there are a lot of retainers under his command now, but it is still not enough, before he was unable to match some deputies to the retainers of the army, so he simply used his strength to act as a good thing, and there is no need to be too anxious about this matter, now the top priority is to solve the official position first, and after this matter is over, it is not too late to ask Nobunaga for someone, and he can also take advantage of this time to think about who to ask Nobunaga.

At the end of November 1564, the weather gradually turned colder, and the second child of the clan was finally born, the second child of the clan was a lovely girl, because winter had come, so the clan gave the name of Bingji to this newly born child.

I accompanied Sakura for more than one month, and seeing that there was only one month left before Nobunaga's time, if I didn't go to Kyoto, I wouldn't be able to complete the task assigned by Nobunaga in three months.

Therefore, early the next morning, under the protection of 100 elite armor cavalry led by Watanabe Morisho and a number of ninjas led by Ishikawa Goemon, the clan embarked on the journey to Kyoto. …,

This time, except for the elite armor cavalry led by Watanabe Moritsuna, there were very few retainers who accompanied him, only Nakamura Kazuji, his close attendant Maeda Keiji, and Ishikawa Goemon, who was secretly in charge of protection, and the reason why the clan would bring Nakamura Kazushi with him was because no one in the family was more familiar with Kyoto than him, and he had dealt with those ministers, so he was by his side, and when he applied for an official position for Nobunaga, he was more sure.

Since the Oda family and the Asai family have formed an alliance, and the last time the clan sent an envoy to Kita-Omi, they basically met with the retainers of the Asai family, so they did not encounter any danger in the land under the rule of the Asai family, and after passing the Mekada Castle and entering the Minami Omi under the rule of the Rokkaku family, the clan did not dare to be careless.

As the clan thought, as soon as they entered the territory of the Roxagonal family, they were blocked by the other party, but they didn't know if they had a problem with their brains or eyes, they all forgot one thing, that is, the clan went to Kyoto this time, although the army led by the clan was not much, but they were all cavalry, and when the samurai of the hexagonal family found out that the hundred cavalry of the clan were about to be blocked in formation, the clan had already rushed out of the distance under the protection of the elite armored cavalry, and the people of the hexagonal family had to follow behind to eat dust.

This was repeated along the way, and it took the clan eight days to finally arrive at the nominal political center of Kyoto, without breaking a single person or a horse.

Here, unlike what the clan imagined, Kyoto is full of decay and decay except for a fairly prosperous street, and the streets are full of ragged clothes and dull-eyed pedestrians, not to mention compared to Kaimachi, even the Kiyoshu Town of Owari is much better than here.

And when passers-by saw a hundred cavalry wearing gorgeous armor, carrying a mountain pattern and leaning on the flag, and the majestic cavalry, they couldn't help but bring out a trace of doubt from that dull gaze, how many years have not seen such a scene, if it weren't for the fact that the army led by the clan was too small, otherwise, the people still thought that this was a big name Shangluo.

In recent years, although many other daimyo have come here to apply for official positions, most of them are only a few or a dozen. And it's basically very low-key, there is such a majesty there, I really don't know which daimyo's pair of cavalry sent it, even the retainers under the command of this daimyo are so strong, and the lord they are loyal to is repaid?
