Since the external affairs have been temporarily alleviated, then the internal affairs of the Uesugi family will be put back on the agenda, the Uesugi family as one of the most powerful forces in the world, after the fall of the head of the family, because there was no last word, so the matter of the new head of the family is the top priority, but because Uesugi Kenshin has no sons, only Jingsheng and Jinghu two stepsons, and the strength of the two is about the same, so it is a headache.

Speaking of which, Uesugi Keikatsu wants to succeed the Uesugi family in one step, and in the case of humble faith and no queen, he should succeed to the position of family governor, but Uesugi Keikatsu is a human being, and his ability can only be regarded as average, so if he succeeds him, then in the current situation, the Uesugi family is hopeless to revive, and it is even very likely to perish.

Therefore, all the retainers of the Uesugi family who supported Uesugi Jinghu opposed this proposal, and they believed that although Uesugi Jinghu succeeded to the Uesugi family later than Jingsheng, it has to be said that Uesugi Jinghu is not only handsome, but also far better than Jingsheng in dealing with people, if this is not important, then the most important thing is that Uesugi Jinghu is inherited from the Hojo family, once he inherits the family governor, then the relationship between the family and the Hojo family will be closer, once the two are aligned, then let alone facing Takayama, Shibata and other forces, Even if Oda Nobunaga led the army to come in person, the two families were not there to fight back, and the succession by Jinghu would undoubtedly make the name of the Uesugi family longer, so the Jinghu faction led by the four of the Uesugi family's important ministers, Yamamoto Temple, Hojo Takahiro, Honjo Hidetsuna, and Uesugi Keishin, strongly supported it, especially the attitude of Yamamoto Temple, which is very important for now. Because the Uesugi family's army is currently in this city. In the event of a big fight over the succession. So because of him, Jinghu's side is very advantageous.

But those who support Jingsheng, Shinbata Shigejia, Yasuda Xianyuan, Nakajo Keitai, Naoe Nobutsuna and others don't care about these at all, after all, the succession of the head of the family is a major event, which is related to the survival of the Uesugi family. So even in the face of threats, they can't compromise, and it's not for nothing that they support Uesugi Keikatsu. They think that although Uesugi Jingsheng has average ability, he is a descendant of the Uesugi family, aside from the identity of the adopted son of the first master, he is also the nephew of the first master, such a relationship is something that Jinghu does not have anyway, let Jingsheng succeed to the throne, then the Uesugi family is still the Uesugi family. And let Jinghu succeed to the throne, then the Uesugi family will be no different from the Hojo family. Maybe even because of the relationship between Jinghu, the family became a vassal of the Hojo family, and it was even possible to merge into the Hojo family, which was definitely unacceptable to the traditional samurai of the Uesugi family, so the retainers who supported Uesugi Keikatsu still accounted for the majority.

The two sides quarreled for several days, but there was still no result, but the relationship between the two sides has deteriorated to a serious point, and there is even the possibility of war breaking out at any time, especially in the last day or two, the two sides of the military situation under the instigation of the main general, there has been a small level of friction, but the top of the two sides turned a blind eye to this, not only did not stop the intention, but still secretly agitated, especially the Jinghu side, and now they even hope to solve the problem of the inheritance of the head of the family by force, after all, in this immovable mountain city, At present, the retainers of the Uesugi family who have completely fallen to Jinghu have accounted for the majority, and the total army has reached 15,000 people, and because Jingsheng stayed in Kasugayama Castle and did not go out with the army, the retainers and troops who supported Jingsheng in this city are at a disadvantage, and the situation is very unoptimistic for Jingsheng's side.

That night, after another fruitless quarrel among the Uesugi family, Yamamoto Temple, Hojo Takahiro and others did not return to their temporary samurai residence, but came to Jinghu's residence in a joint decision, because they all believed that the matter must not drag on like this any longer.

At present, Uesugi Jingkatsu is sitting in Kasuga Mountain Castle, if the other party directly succeeds to the position of governor of Kasuga Mountain Castle after getting the news, then in the face of righteousness, Jinghu will not have any advantage, and even those retainers who support Jinghu's succession will be shaken because of this, if it really comes to that time, it can be said that if you want to take the position of the lord of the family, then it will be much more difficult than now, and even if it is finally recaptured, it will also lead to a great loss of vitality of the Uesugi family, and how to resist the attack of Shibata and Takayama at that time, so they have all decided, That is to persuade Jinghu to act as soon as possible before the situation is still unclear.

"If you are inferior, please forgive me for the trouble of the inferior." Everyone came to Jinghu's samurai mansion, and after meeting, they hurriedly said.

Although it was getting late now, Uesugi Keihoo did not sleep, not only today, but also since his father's death. Uesugi Keitora is an ambitious person, and the reason why he was able to show a very high personality charm was not because he had such a personality, but because he did it on purpose.

Because he knows that compared with Jingsheng, although he is better than Jingsheng, but the relationship with his father is not as close as Jingsheng, so in order to get the opportunity to succeed the head of the family, from the day he was inherited, he began to plan, this plan is several years, Uesugi Jinghu believes that since the relationship with his father is not as good as Jingsheng, then he can only find another way, befriend the retainers of the Uesugi family, let them understand their abilities, only in this way can there be a chance, but this is just an opportunity, And the chances of success are not very high.

But his father's unexpected death did not leave a last word, which is definitely a godsend for him, because he can finally stand at the same height as Jingsheng, and because he has a large number of retainers to support, then his chances of succeeding to the throne are even more than Jingsheng, if he gives up, then he is not Uesugi Jinghu.

Seeing that all the important ministers of the Uesugi family who supported him appeared in front of him at this moment, Uesugi Jinghu knew that whether he could succeed to the throne only depends on the past few days, although in the past few days, people have come to plan for him every day, but it is the first time that all of them have appeared like today.

Uesugi Jinghu was still so humble after everyone saluted, but he hurriedly returned the salute: "You are all the humerus of my Uesugi family, and you adults are like this, it is really distressing." ”

For Uesugi Jinghu's attitude, these retainers are very satisfied, at least once they support Jinghu to ascend to the throne, then the benefits that the family will get will definitely not be less.

I only heard Hojo Takahiro said: "Uesugi lord, I waited for this time to come in the hope that you can inherit the family governor, only in this way the family name of the Uesugi family will last longer, but at present, although our military situation is superior, but Uesugi Keikatsu controls Kasuga Mountain Castle, it can be said that once it claims to succeed to the throne, then it will be a little difficult for the adults to do something, so I came here today in the hope that the adults can make a decision as soon as possible." ”

"Do you want me to fight my brother? This...... How can this be, my father's bones are not cold, if my two brothers are fighting for the position of the head of the family at this moment, then how can my father in heaven be clear, so I think that this matter needs to be considered in the long run. Uesugi Jinghu pretended to be panicked, because he knew that if he was too eager for quick success, then although these retainers in front of him would still support him at this moment, but he could no longer get their hearts, after all, no one wants their lord to be a ruthless person, if he even has no scruples about his relatives, then what kind of affection is there to treat them, so his performance is not cowardice, but the importance of family affection.

Sure enough, his performance did not arouse the disgust of the people present, on the contrary, those retainers were very pleased with Jing Hu's attitude, especially Jing Hu was still thinking about the deceased ancestor, which made them feel a little emotional, after all, when Uesugi Kenshin was alive, he was still good to the retainers, so he passed away, and they were good to them, of course, they haven't forgotten.

"From the long-term plan, from the long-term plan, I'm afraid that Jingsheng has already succeeded to the throne by then, have you ever thought about what will happen to you at that time, and what kind of result will it be when we wait, Lord Uesugi, there is nothing to think about in this matter, and now, there is only one battle, even if you don't want to, Uesugi Jingsheng's side will definitely not let us go, and now the arrow is on the string, and it has to be sent." Yamamoto Temple Dingchang was already hot-tempered, and seeing that Uesugi Jinghu was still hesitating, he couldn't help but stand up suddenly, and said loudly, now he doesn't care about any etiquette.

After the head of Yamamoto Temple finished speaking, the other samurai present also said in unison: "We all think the same thing, and I ask Uesugi-sama to make a decision." ”

Seeing that the general trend had been achieved, Uesugi Jinghu no longer shirked, but only listened to him say: "Since you have made up your minds, then I will not shirk in the next, and for the prosperity of the Uesugi family, I will accept your suggestions in the next." ”

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be overjoyed, with Uesugi Jinghu's statement, then the next thing was easy to do, only to listen to the wise Kawada Shigejin among these people said: "The so-called name is not right, so I think that the first thing is to correct the name of the adult, and then announce to the world that the ancestor has decided to succeed to the throne by the adult before his death, so that you can take the opportunity, and then eliminate Jingsheng to take advantage of the righteousness, so please also ask the lord to accept the next worship, and the subordinates must swear allegiance." After speaking, I saw him respectfully make a big salute.

Kawada Chongqin, whether it is status or strength, can only be ranked in the middle of the Jinghu side, he thinks that once the big thing is decided, then he estimates that there is no chance, so he can't wait to put forward this point of view, in order to please Jinghu, so as to become the other party's cronies, so that once Jinghu takes the position in the future, then as a cronie, he will also rise.
