Chapter 971: Mutsu Strategy (14)
Now Date Tojiro is like a roller coaster, he has already made plans, if the shogun still does not relent, then he can only die to pray that the other party will not vent his anger on the Date family, after all, this sentence is said by himself, he is not the head of the Date family now, I believe that the general will let himself bear it.
But in an instant, the other party no longer had the intention of embarrassing himself and the Date family, which made him really a little unsure of the other party's intentions, could it be that the beautiful lady in front of him spoke so effectively, and only one sentence saved the family.
But immediately this idea was abandoned by him, for the Takayama clan, he has some understanding, decisive killing, especially the treatment of the Hao family is never soft, this time to be able to let go of the Mutsu family, obviously it is already extraordinarily gracious, how can it not be pursued because of the lady's words, and it is not so simple not to investigate, what did the shogun say, said that it was for the Date family to maintain the stability of Mutsu for the shogunate, although it was for the position of the Shogunate or Yushu, but it gave such a right, which really surprised and delighted him, Isn't it clear that the Shogun wants to make his family the number one force in Mutsu? This is not the lady to intercede for herself, obviously the general already had this idea, but why did the other party do this?
It was difficult for Tojiro to find the answer for a while, and there was no time for him to think about it at this time, so he hurriedly said: "Please rest assured that the Admiral, Date will definitely go all out to maintain the stability of the Mutsu for the Shogun." ”
"You're wrong, I'm talking about letting you protect Mutsu for me!" Zong Qing heard that he had a problem understanding what he had just said, and couldn't help but correct it.
Date Tojiro couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this, since he was sent by his father to Odawara Castle as a hostage of the Date family a few days ago, he had given up the idea of inheriting the position of the governor of the Date family, after all, he was deeply disabled, and his parents obviously loved his younger brother Kojiro even more. And they can take advantage of this opportunity to keep themselves away from the Date family, even if they are put back in the future, then the Date family will only have Kojiro in their eyes, and there will never be themselves again, so it is obviously impossible to inherit the family governor, and for themselves, the best result is that after being put back to the Date family, the younger brother still has his own brother in his heart, and he will not be too embarrassed, recruit himself as a retainer, so that he will not be unable to become a retainer, but for this, In fact, he already knew that it was definitely impossible, and his younger brother, who was only one year younger than him, had a bad relationship with him since he was a child, so how could he accept himself and cause him uneasiness.
So Tojiro Date, who was only twelve years old, was ready to become a ronin in the future at the moment he left Yonezawa Castle, of course, there was no other way out than to become a ronin, that is, to become a minister of the shogunate, but he knew that the Takayama shogunate's absorption of retainers was not arbitrary, but very strict, and it was not easy to become a minister of the shogunate, and he was still a hostage, and the general did not trust the power of the wealthy clan, so it was not a simple matter to achieve the goal.
But at this time, the shogun said that if he was the shogunate's guardian of Mutsu, not his father, wouldn't he have become the governor of the Date family from this moment on? Although everyone in the Date family doesn't know now, what does it matter, they can't disobey the orders of the shogun, even if their father likes his younger brother no matter how much they dare to disobey him.
The kindness of the shogun must be kept in mind, no, not only that, but once he inherits the family governor, he must also take it as a family motto, and remind future generations to remember the kindness of the shogun at all times.
"Why, you don't want to?" Seeing that the other party didn't speak for a long time, the clan couldn't help but ask.
After the clan spoke again, Date Tojiro knew that he was rude, so he said with excitement on his face: "This... The Shogun's Enduida family will never be forgotten. ”
"Well, I see that you don't seem to have the Yuan Costume yet, so let's complete the Yuan Costume Ceremony in Odawara Castle, and then go back to succeed the family governor." Speaking of this, I only heard the clan say again: "Since it is to protect Mutsu for me, then I will give you a word to see the favor, and after the Yuan service, you will be called Date Masamune." ”
Tojiro Date couldn't help but be thrilled to hear that the shogun had not only given him the responsibility of guarding Mutsu, but also given a word and a name, and it was a great honor to be able to receive the word from the shogun, and the name given by the shogun was enough to show that the shogun attached great importance to himself, which was definitely very useful for the stability of the surrounding mutsu.
After fasting and bathing for three days, Date Tojiro completed his Yuan Costume ceremony in Odawara Castle, and everyone in the city thought that the hostage Yuan Costume sent by this small wealthy clan was a trivial matter like sesame mung beans, so no one cared about it at first.
But on the day of his Yuan Dress, the Takayama Clan Sect personally appeared in his small house and personally completed the Yuan Dress Ceremony for him. And with the emergence of the clan, this inconspicuous little thing has also become a big thing, and for a while, the retainers of the Gaoshan family are a little unable to touch the pulse of the lord, doesn't the lord hate these wealthy families the most, how can he be so gracious to this disabled child? Could it be that the lord wants to take advantage of this incident to announce to the world that the family's attitude towards the wealthy family has completely changed.
The more they think about it, the more reasonable they feel, when the only one who can compete with the lord for the world is the Kinoshita family, and the Kinoshita family has countless wealthy forces under the rule of the Kinoshita family, once these people know that the attitude of the lord has changed, then maybe it is to give up the Kinoshita family and throw himself into the family, although even if he returns to the family, he will not increase much strength, but once these wealthy families have a different mind in their hearts, then it will be a disaster for the Kinoshita family, after all, before, because the lord's attitude towards the Hao family is very tough, So they had to die for the Kinoshita family, but after they knew, even if they didn't submit, the desire to serve the death would fade a lot. It seems that it may not be long before the main family will have a decisive battle with the Kinoshita family.
And is this really what the Takayama clan really thinks? Obviously not, he has not changed his attitude towards the wealthy family, especially the wealthy family in the prosperous place of Honshu Island, he has no intention of letting go, this is just because he has forgotten himself, and his words and deeds now will affect the situation in the world, and this kind of thing will take some time to get used to.
