Hosokawa Fujitaka, who was kneeling in the middle of the assessment room, saw that the lord had not spoken for a long time, and had already guessed the lord's doubts, and he usually didn't open his mouth much, wasn't it because the Ashikaga family didn't have any big deals, and he didn't bother to open his mouth to those trivial things in his daily life, and besides, with so many important ministers in the family, it was not his turn to speak.

But he really didn't expect that it was precisely because of his introvertedness that he left such a negative impact on the lord's heart, and it seemed that he would have to show a little bit in the future, thinking of this, Hosokawa Fujitaka couldn't help but think of the Takayama clan again.

If you compare it with him, not to mention anything else, just this eyesight of people, the lord is much worse than him, and the retainers under the command of the Takayama clan are outstanding, which is in addition to the name in the region, and almost every retainer of the Takayama family has made a name for himself.

And the most incredible thing is that these retainers, before they came out of the Takayama family, were unknown, but this Takayama clan was able to snare them together, and now in terms of its retainers, in terms of quality, it is no longer inferior to the retainers of Takeda, Mori, Uesugi and other powerful daimyo.

The retainers of the Takayama family are only lacking in numbers, but don't forget, under the rule of the Takayama clan, there are only 8,000 stone territory in Hachiman Castle in the gun, if he is allowed to own hundreds of thousands of stone land, then how strong will his retainers be?

How did this Gaoshan Clan do it? Could it be that he really has a pair of discerning eyes? People like this have to meet themselves no matter what.

Thinking of this, I saw Hosokawa Fujitaka salute again, and said: "Lord, the Takayama clan is just a general of the Oda family, and when I came here this time, I didn't come to meet the lord, I was already despising the majesty of the shogunate. If you let others know, won't you be laughed at?

And if you go by a subordinate, the effect is very different, the identity of the subordinate is just a light head, and he is also a new retainer. If you go to contact him as a subordinate, it is just right. So please also ask the lord for approval. ”

Ashikaga Yoshiteru saw that he was resolute, and the other retainers were reluctant to go, so he had to let him try, and of course everyone was happy if he succeeded, if Oda Nobunaga refused. It doesn't affect the overall situation, anyway, now the Maori family, the Uesugi family, the Rokkaku family, and the Asakura family have already expressed their support for themselves, even if the Oda family is missing. At most, it's just a little more time for yourself.

Moreover, once the Oda family does not support themselves, or does not take a stand, then. After regaining the prestige of the shogunate, he must let his family name disappear from this land.

Thinking of this, I only heard Ashikaga Yoshiteru say: "Okay, this time you will go to Kyoto to contact the Takayama clan, and you must convey my heart to him." ”

Speaking of this, Ashikaga Yoshiki was still a little uneasy about him, so he opened his mouth and instructed: "When I contact the Takayama clan." But when it comes to Maori, Uesugi and other trends have firmly stood on the side of the family. If the Oda family can also take a stand, they will wait for the revival of the family in the future. I will definitely not forget the merits of the Oda family. Have you ever written it down? ”

It's okay if Ashikaga Yoshiki doesn't give instructions, and when he says this, it makes Hosokawa Fujitaka look down a little, if these words are really said to outsiders, it seems that the Ashikaga family is not atmospheric enough, and now the family has not made any moves, even if the future is beautiful, it is just ethereal, painting cakes to satisfy hunger.

If these words really reached Oda Nobunaga's ears, in Hosokawa Fujitaka's opinion, not only would it not have any effect, but it would also make Oda Nobunaga think that the shogunate was threatening him, so even if he could show his attitude, he would never send troops to help. …,

The lord's current mood, he can understand when he arrives, however, everything must be paid attention to, if it continues to be publicized like this, it is not a good thing for the Ashikaga family, it seems that after he returns, he must also persuade the lord to be, the more this time, the more the lord should remain restrained, so as not to encounter unnecessary trouble.

There is no time to spare now, allowing Hosokawa Fujitaka to think more about how to advise the lord, and there is no rush to this matter, so let's wait until I come back.

Seeing that the lord had no other orders, Hosokawa Fujitaka hurriedly left the assessment room after making a bow, immediately packed his bags, and set off for Kyoto.

Just when Hosokawa Fujitaka hurried to Kyoto, the clan had already packed up and was ready to return to Mino, so to speak, this trip to Kyoto was still very smooth, not only for Oda Nobunaga to apply for an official position, but also with most of the ministers who can be used in the future to establish a deep friendship, and also accepted Yasuke Saemon as a retainer, Kyoto's sparrow house has him to take care of, and he can rest easy. And the most important thing is that I was fortunate enough to meet Yamanaka Kanosuke and Ah Guo.

Although, he couldn't take the two of them directly, but Yamanaka Kanosuke is a person who is extremely promised, and after the destruction of the Niko family, he will inevitably come to join him, and he just has to wait a little longer, and there is nothing to worry about at all.

As for Ah Guo, there is no need to worry, the clan is 100% sure that after Ah Guo completes his wish, he will definitely appear by his side.

Watanabe Moritsuna, who came with the clan, saw the lord bowing his head and smiling, as if he was thinking about something beautiful, so he didn't bother, and commanded a hundred elite armor to ride around the lord to protect him, while burying his head in the road.

However, when the team had just left Kyoto and had not gone far, they suddenly saw a fast horse chasing after them.

Seeing this, Watanabe Mamotsuna hurriedly ordered the army to stop, and sent an elite armored horseman Ashigaru to come forward to ask what was going on.

"Tell the lord, Watanabe-sama, the princess... The public envoy Hosokawa Fujitaka asked to see the lord when he had something important, and asked the lord to decide. The elite armor who went to interrogate was ashigaru, and after learning the identity of the other party, he couldn't help but report back in a panic.

Not only him, but even Watanabe Moruntsuna felt a little panicked when he heard that the public family had sent someone to come to discuss something with the lord, although the Ashikaga shogunate had been in decline for many years, but for a subordinate like him, the name of the public family was still very intimidating.

After listening to the clan, he didn't feel too much, in front of him, all false names are fake, only strength is the most real, don't look at the other party is the messenger of the public family, but as long as there is not enough power, it will be difficult to bring pressure to the clan
