Takeda Shintora is a typical person who was cheated.

As the head of the Kai Takeda clan, the five members of the imperial court, the shogunate, and the Kai guard, Takeda Shintora could have spent the rest of his life in peace, but because his son finally failed to enjoy his old age, he wandered around and lived in the house of his son-in-law Imagawa Yoshimoto.

The most important thing is that Imagawa Yoshimoto, who respects him very much on the surface, is actually perfunctory, and even plans to use Takeda Shintora as an opportunity to attack Kai. It is precisely because of this that Takeda Shintora left Suruga to go to Kyoto before, but he was also very unsatisfactory in Kyoto, and the minister, who had a lot of dealings with the Takeda family, was almost unable to support himself, so how could he have spare time to take care of Takeda Shinto.

There is no way, Takeda Shintora can only return to Suruga, at least there is no worry about food and clothing here.....

In fact, what Takeda Shintora didn't know was that all his use in Suruga was given by Takeda Harunobu. Every month, Imagawa Yoshimoto would send an envoy to Kai to ask Harunobu Takeda for "living expenses".

In fact, in addition to not having much achievements in domestic affairs, Takeda Shinhu is indeed a generation of masters in other aspects. At the time of Takeda Nobuto's father, Takeda Nobuto, the Takeda family was in chaos, with forces such as Anayama and Koyamada competing with the Takeda family, and there was also internal strife with Nobue Yatsukawa, which can be described as internal and external troubles.

At the beginning of Takeda Nobuna's accession to the throne, he was still called Takeda Nobunao, and in the face of the unfavorable situation in his family, Takeda Nobunao broke through the cauldron and won many samurai from his uncle Yasukawa Nobune in the battle of Fangfeng, killing more than half of the enemy, and finally unifying the Takeda family.

In the 6th year of Eisho, he subjugated the Oyamada clan and asked his younger brother Katsunuma Nobunyu to marry the sister of Oyamada Nobuyo, so that the two sides were reconciled.

In the fourteenth year of Eisho, after eight years of confrontation with the Oi clan and the Anayama clan, Takeda Nobunao finally married Lady Oi (Takeda Harunobu's mother), the daughter of Oi Nobuta, thus solving the unstable factor of Oi Nobuta.

After that, Takeda Shintora moved the main fortress from the stone and the pavilion to Fuchu and built the Zhizhu Pavilion as a residence. After that, he vigorously developed the castle town and let the retainers live in the Takesakikan, thus stabilizing the Takeda family.

After stabilizing the interior, Takeda Shintora began to attack the neighboring Suwa and Imai and other countries, and repelled reinforcements from Imagawa several times. During the Daiei period, Shinano's people were beaten to the point of "smelling the tiger".

During the Imagawa Clan Hanakura Rebellion, Takeda Nobuta disregarded his past suspicions and decisively attacked to support Imagawa Yoshimotokata, thus making Imagawa and Takeda, two sworn enemies, harmonious. Imagawa Yoshimoto thus married Joein, the daughter of Takeda Shintora, and because of the intermediary of the Imagawa family, a hillbilly like the Takeda family married the daughter of Sanjo Koyori.

Later, because of the relationship between the Kojun Alliance, the Hayao Alliance broke down, and Imagawa and Hojo fought to get rid of the threat of Imagawa and Hojo in the rear. At this time, Takeda Nobuta took the opportunity to defeat the Imai clan and married his daughter Youyou to Suwa Yorishige, so that the Takeda family finally solved the problem that had plagued Shinano for many years.

Just as Takeda Shintora was about to show his skills and attack again, when he returned to Kai via Suruga, he was exiled by his son Takeda Harunobu and some of the retainers of the Takeda family.

And the reason why the retainers participated in the exile of Takeda Shintora was actually very simple, because Takeda Shintora had a hot temper and often beat and scolded the retainers. Over time, the retainers were dissatisfied, but Takeda Nobuta had no idea that his trusted retainers would eventually turn their backs on him.

......

"The famous father of the Tsugawa Hall has admired it for a long time, I wonder what the Tsugawa Hall thought of the current head of the Kai Takeda family, Takeda Harunobu, when he exiled his father?"

After listening to the words of his wife beside him, although his expression was the same, a trace of darkness flashed in his eyes, because what Joein said was not the same as what had been discussed in advance.

Takeda Nobuta had found Imagawa Yoshimoto before, hoping to get acquainted with Tsugawa Soji, but judging from today's situation, Takeda Shintora's purpose does not seem to be pure. Takeda Shintora must have sensed what he was trying to do, so he was in a hurry to get out of his control, right?

Thinking of this, Imagawa Yoshimoto was also a little dissatisfied in his heart.

Secretly scolded, I didn't know how to lift, Imagawa Yoshimoto took over the conversation and said, "Who doesn't know the name of Tsugawa Palace?" ”

"Now that the Tsugawa Hall is on Luo, I'm afraid that the whole world will praise the deeds of the Tsugawa Palace, and I don't envy it when I say it." Imagawa Yoshimoto said pretly.

Tsugawa Soji smiled undeniably, and then replied, "Yoshimoto Gong has been in charge of the Imagawa family for many years, and he is also famous, and the family is also extremely admired. ”

"Yes, yes! I have heard for a long time that I am proficient in the culture of the Ming Kingdom, and I am quite accomplished in the way of poetry, I wonder if I can let me wait for an eye-opening today? When he said this, Imagawa Yoshimoto's eyes were full of disdain, because in Imagawa Yoshimoto's opinion, there was no one in the samurai family who could be more educated than himself!

Feeling the provocation from Imagawa Yoshimoto, Tsugawa Soji was also a little angry.

MMP just sat down for a while, and you're targeting me everywhere? How great is the first bow in Tokaido? I don't know how much water, it's not that the demon king has taken a blood, Lao Tzu is a man who even Oda Nobunaga has to kneel and lick!

"I don't know what advice Yiyuan Gong has, please give me instructions!" Soji Tsugawa suddenly looked directly at Imagawa Yoshimoto and replied without showing weakness.

Imagawa Yoshimoto glanced at a samurai beside him, who immediately stepped out and said, "At the lower pass of Qinyong, there is a poetry meeting held tonight, I wonder if the Tsugawa Hall can enjoy the light?" ”

"Since the Imagawa family is warmly invited, the family naturally does not dare not give face, and then you can send someone to inform the family, I also want to see the talents of the Imagawa family!"

Yoshimoto Imagawa has an almost fanatical admiration for the culture of Kyoto, and he regards the promotion of Kyoto culture as his mission. Not only did he deliberately emulate the ministers of Kyoto, wearing straight clothes, wearing black hats, painting black teeth, drawing cicada eyebrows, and smearing grease powder, but he also loved to hold poetry meetings.

It is said that Imagawa Yoshimoto held at least five poetry ceremonies a month, inviting not only famous monks and retainers in the vicinity, but also going to Kyoto to invite ministers to participate. For this reason, the Imagawa family spends no less than 5,000 yuan a year on poetry meetings, which can only be said to be too deeply poisoned and rich and capricious!

......

An hour later, in the Sotokuji Temple outside the Imagawa Museum, Imagawa Yoshimoto was wearing a straight robe and a black hat and sitting under a cherry blossom tree. On the right are the Imagawa family's important ministers, such as Taiyuan Yukisai, Sekiguchi Shinnaga, Katsuyama Shihiro, and Anhara Tadayin, while on the left are several bald monks and two men who are also dressed in straight clothes and a princess.

"The head of the Tsugawa Right Guard General is not small, and he has made the head of the family wait with you for so long, it's really rude!" A retainer of the Imagawa family said with an angry face, but his voice was a little louder, and "accidentally" let everyone present hear it.

And after listening to the words of this retainer, the two ministers sitting on the left also showed a look of concern.

And that's when ......
