After Niwa Nagahide finished speaking, Kitabatake Gufang just wanted to speak, only to hear Okuyama Tsunekisuke say: "The lord must not give up the position of the governor of the family, this must be Oda Nobunaga's trick, and the lord can never be trusted." To read the latest chapters of this book, please search on Baidu"

"Yes, my lord, we are all willing to serve our strength to protect the lord and my family, and my lord must not listen to this demagoguery."

After the other retainers present finished speaking to the two samurai, they also spoke up to persuade them.

Niwa Nagahide saw that the retainers of the Kitabatake family were so loyal, and while he was nervous, he couldn't help but feel admiration for them, if it weren't for the incompetence of the recent generations of the Hokuhata family, how could there be so many loyal ministers in the family.

Although Niwa Nagahide wanted to refute them, he knew that at this moment, he was not suitable to speak, otherwise he would become the target of these people's attacks, and he was not afraid of being attacked by the other party, he was only afraid that he would become darker and darker, and the retainers of the Kitabatake family had now lost their minds, no matter what they said, they would think that they were covering up the truth, rather than this, it was better not to say anything, and it was clear and fair.

Kitabatake's room didn't interrupt the retainers' speeches, but he didn't listen to the retainers' persuasions.

Now he had made up his mind to let the monk governor as a way to preserve the name of the Kitabatake family, and in that case, he also let his retainers finish their words, just out of respect.

The family encountered an unprecedented crisis this time, if it weren't for the retainers who gave everything they had, if it weren't for the retainers who sacrificed their lives to rush to the front line, I'm afraid that the Kitabatake family would have been wiped out by the Oda army outside the city, even if he wanted to lend his monk's name to protect his family's name, it would be impossible-

After a while, all the retainers present had already finished expressing their opinions, so they all closed their mouths, staring closely at the lord, waiting for his final decision, many retainers will press their hands on the hilt of the knife at this moment, if the lord accepts his own opinion and that of the other retainers, then they will not hesitate to kill Niwa Nagahide at the first time.

Niwa Nagahide is the elder of the Oda family, and this attack on Ise must have a lot of ashigaru under his command, if he can be killed, it will undoubtedly cause huge losses to the Oda army, although he will also have the notoriety of killing the messenger because of this, but now they can't care about so much, compared to the foundation of the Kitabatake family, their reputation is nothing.

And as such thoughts came out of their hearts, the assessment room was also filled with murderous aura.

Although Niwa Nagahide felt a powerful murderous aura coming towards him, he did not panic, he believed that Kitabatake Gufang would definitely accept his suggestion and give up the position of monk governor.

And if you guess wrong, even if you die here, then the lord will definitely avenge himself, so what else do you have to fear.

The solemn atmosphere, with the opening of the Kitabatake house, was quickly broken, only to hear him speak: "Since I succeeded to the throne, it has been three years, and in these three autumns, not only to make the Kitabatake family strong, but also to push the family to the brink of destruction, I am not the lord of the world, if I continue to covet power, the family will be destroyed, rather than the Kitabatake family in the hands of the hand, it is better to let the monk governor to keep the peace."

And Lord Dan Zhengzhong is not only benevolent, wise and martial, but also has a land of more than 100,000 stones, the power is stable, if the position of the governor of the family is inherited by his son, the family can also be worry-free.

Ladies and gentlemen, I decide, abdicate! The son of the Governor of the House to the Lord Dan Zhengzhong. And although you are still the ministers of the Kitabatake family, you must be loyal to the young lord in the future, as you are now, and you must not forget the spirit of bushido because of the hatred in your hearts. ”…,

When Kitabatake's room said this, I only heard him say again: "As the last words of the head of the family, I have finished speaking, Kaejo, you will follow me out of the city to welcome the head of the family, and enter the city with Lord Dan Zhengzhong." ”

Niwa Nagahide couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Kitabatake Gufang finally agreed to surrender, it seemed that his persuasion strategy was right, thinking of this, he only heard him speak: "Kitabatake-sama is wise, in this way, the two families of Oribei are like a family, and there will never be a war in the future." ”

After Kitabatake's resignation, he couldn't help but relax, and the gloom clouds that had surrounded his face for many days disappeared. But the good times didn't last long, and I saw that none of the retainers stood up, but kept loudly persuading.

I only heard the retainer who sat down and said: "Lord, there are dozens of subordinate retainers in the city now, and there are thousands of soldiers, so the lord must not give up the position of the governor." ”

"My lord, my subordinates begged my lord to give up this idea, Oda Nobunaga is a jackal, and my lord can't be at his mercy."

After speaking, I saw that the warrior did not hesitate to pull out the ribs around his waist, and stabbed himself in the abdomen without hesitation, his movements were so fast that the retainer sitting next to him had not reacted at all, and he had already fallen in a pool of blood.

"Nakata-sama!"

No matter how the retainers shouted, Nakata Jusaemon had no other reaction other than convulsions.

Seeing this, Kitabatake's mood was replaced by sadness, although he knew that crying was the most useless performance for a samurai, but he really couldn't control himself, tears kept pouring out of his eyes, no matter how he wiped it, but he couldn't wipe the tears on his face no matter what.

The retainers of the Kitabatake family who were present were sad for Nakata Jusaemon and sad for the Kitabatake family at the same time, so when they cried in Kitabatake, they did not laugh at themselves, but cried along with it.

In an instant, only the sound of crying could be heard in the assessment room, and even the air was mixed with a faint sadness.

After a long time, Kitabatake Gufang stopped his tears, only to see him look at the corpse of Shisaemon, first sighed, and then said: "Ladies and gentlemen, although I have succeeded to the position of family governor for nearly three years, my father has always been in charge of the affairs of my family, and even in the days since my father's death, I have been obedient to your will, and today, I want to be my own master, I hope you can fulfill it." ”

After speaking, I saw that Kitabatake's face changed, and Masase said: "I have decided to give up the position of the head of the family, and you will follow me out of the city to greet the head of the family and Lord Dan Zhengzhong." ”

Although the retainers felt very helpless about this, since the lord had already said this part just now, even if they didn't want to, there was nothing they could do, so they only listened to the retainers and replied reluctantly: "It's the lord, and the subordinates are subject to the lord's arrangement." ”

After speaking, I saw them wipe away the tears on their faces, stand up, and walk out of the door of the assessment room with the Kitabatake, and the name of the Kitabatake family was preserved.
