51, against the sky (middle)
"Evidence...... Sure enough, I can't get the evidence! "I said the last thing I wanted to say, but it was an inevitable outcome. Matsunaga is cunning and cunning, and everything is afraid that he has arranged it seamlessly.
"With such a big set of steps, it stands to reason that there are no loopholes at all!" Fujido Takahu said cautiously that he had not said a word since just now, not even a slogan or an angry scolding, and it seemed that he had been thinking about a problem. "That bought boy and Sugitani Zenjubo are the biggest tricks, as long as they are caught, they can expose Matsunaga's conspiracy to the world!"
"That little surname was killed and thrown into the dense forest less than a pillar of incense after Nayan's death, and Sugitani Zenjubo disappeared immediately!" Kato Duanzo knocked the atmosphere that had just improved a little bit, and suddenly returned to a dead silence. "Matsunaga Hide's hands and feet were very clean, and almost all the details of the characters were killed at once. Now there are only two people who are involved in the conspiracy and their whereabouts are still known, that is, Araki Murashige and Kuchiki Mototsuna, even if others participate, it is difficult to be evidence! ”
"Yes, only these two can prove it!" The Gamo clan muttered to himself, Otani Yoshitsugu bit the thumb of his right hand and nodded slightly, and several other people also silently made similar expressions.
As Kanzo Kato said, Arakimura Shige's rebellion was clear, as long as he could point out Matsunaga Hide, that was the most solid evidence, but he was fighting in Settsu at the moment (his popularity index quickly grew after the death of Oda Nobunaga's father and son), and he had regained a major advantage, and if he could easily be taken down, things would not have developed to this point.
It's okay to hold Kuchigi Mototsuna, but he's more troublesome than Arakimura, and he must first prove that he is the murderer of Oda Nobunaga. However, this is not difficult, I can contact Niwa Nagahide to jointly attack Kuchigi Valley Castle, as long as I look carefully, it will not be difficult to find evidence that he used ships and cannons.
"I'm only afraid that the brain of the rotten wood Yuangang will not be able to move for the time being!" Kato Duanzo is a ninja who excels in observing others. Although he also knew that it was not good to snatch words like this in front of the lord, the current time was not allowed to be too formal. "Matsunaga Shu summoned the nearby daimyo forces to enter King Kyoqin, and Mototsuna Kuchigi was the first to respond. Now the people in the court were terrified, and it was naturally ecstatic to have such some people to support him, so they immediately praised him and appointed him as the palace guard. Not to mention whether the army will enter Beijing now, or if he is captured by ninjas, once his guilt is to be made public, it will be seen as a provocation to the imperial court, so even if he is caught, he cannot be used to testify, otherwise the name of the lord will be lost! ”
"I always thought that Mototsuna Kuchigi was a cowardly and useless person, but I didn't expect that he would have the courage to do such an earth-shattering thing!" I raised my eyes slightly to the ceiling, which had fallen into disrepair and had already shown signs of black decay.
The most difficult thing in the world can be said to be to be able to see people clearly, even many great people have ended up on this. The shrewd Caesar could see through all the tricks on the battlefield, but ended up slumping in the ornate corridors of the Senate. I don't have any special strengths in this, and if a historical figure doesn't follow history, then I may even be inferior to an ordinary person.
"In this matter...... Mototsuna Kuchigi is just a pawn! The Gamo clan gritted his teeth and turned to me, "Although this pawn is about to die, this matter is definitely not something that his mind can handle. I don't think he's even an accomplice of Matsunaga Hide, but he got on a thief ship for some reason. Now I just don't know how many such people Matsunaga Shu controls, and in the current situation, this is enough to affect the balance of forces of all parties! ”
"I'm afraid of a lot!" After a long silence, I slowly said that some things were figured out, but others were still confused. "Matsunaga is very connected, and it always gives people a sign that they are about to move. In private, he always colludes with this one today and instigates that tomorrow, but each time he puts himself in a plausible position. It is not easy to detect a Kuchigi Mototsuna from so many people in advance, which shows how much effort Matsunaga has put in, and even three days before the operation, Kuchiki Mototsuna himself may not have known about this plan. It's just that I don't understand a little, why didn't he immediately throw Kuchiki Mototsuna as a scapegoat, wouldn't everything be more perfect? If you want to say that Matsunaga Shu will be righteous and grateful, then I won't believe it anyway! ”
"It's not surprising!" The Gamo clan immediately said: "If Dan Fan Song's reputation is better, he will definitely do so, and then he will consider himself a minister of martyrdom in a grand place." For him, it is not cost-effective to identify the killer too early to bring the situation to light, even if the murderer can clear his name. Judging from his identity and previous convictions, once he does, he will be attacked by everyone. That is, the day when the dust settles on the death of the lord, that is, when the daimyo of all parties will crusade against him! ”
"Is that all there is to it now? We can go and slaughter him now! Shinhachiro was visibly impatient. He was the one who couldn't wait to advocate the sending of troops, but the current discussion seemed to be going in the opposite direction. "Rather than saying it here, it's better to march in immediately, and when Matsunaga Shu destroys the evidence, then everything will be over. It's just a question of finding evidence first or crusading first, and after two days, Matsunaga and Kuchiki Mototsuna will be served in one pot, won't everything be solved! ”
Shinhachiro can think of things that way, but I can't think of it that way, at least at the moment, Matsunaga Hide's approach doesn't show the slightest criticism. Fortunately, not all people in this room were like him, and many people shook their heads as soon as this suggestion was made.
"The Lord has always done the things of benevolence and righteousness, and the practice of Matsunaga is the opposite of the two cars. If you disobey the will of the imperial court and the orders of the main hall before your death without any reason, I am afraid that someone will immediately suspect the unknown cause of death in the main hall! The first to raise objections was Yoshitsugu Otani, who was frowning.
"So you don't agree to enter the army, is it possible to watch Matsunaga Xiu completely control the court step by step?!" Seeing that there were several people who meant to support this point of view, Keiji Maeda was a little breathless. "At the moment, in the face of this sudden situation, we must use a quick knife to cut through the mess, otherwise we can only watch Matsunaga Xiu improve the layout step by step. Besides, the people who are now attached to Matsunaga's banner are still scattered, and hesitating will only delay the lord's plan! ”
"I'm not saying that I won't go on a crusade, but I just need to have a full mouth!" Seeing that he misinterpreted his meaning, Yoshitsugu Otani was also a little anxious.
It can't be like this! At the moment of this great enemy, how can their own people mess up first. I turned my gaze back to the Gamo clan, hoping that he would come out and balance it.
"Maeda and Otani's words are very reasonable, and it's not impossible to solve it!" The Gamo clan understood what I meant, and as he said this, the room gradually fell silent. "I just thought: now that we all know that it was Matsunaga Shu who plotted to kill the lord, all that is missing is clear evidence. In this case, we simply give him some evidence, and we can't be wronged anyway! ”
"Ah~!" Everyone sighed in unison, it turned out that everything was so simple, and the words of the Gamo clan suddenly broadened their minds. Matsunaga showed countless wrongs, and it was his turn.
"Hmm~~ cough!" When it was quieter, I coughed. It's in very good shape now and I'm more confident about winning. "What else does Matsunaga Xiu do, he should know that he can't serve the public!" I noticed that Kanzo Kato's face was not very good-looking, and he may have been affected by the injury to some extent.
"Matsunaga has a measure to deal with the crusade, and it was when Wechen moved into Matsunaga's Kyoto Mansion to investigate the news and get hurt!" Kato Duanzo didn't say anything like panting, but his face was darker than usual. On the one hand, he summoned a large number of small and medium-sized wealthy families in the vicinity to enter Beijing, promising all kinds of benefits for his own use. But on the other hand, his greater intention was to gain the upper hand in the name of righteousness, so he tried his best to mobilize the minister to come forward for him......"
"What can the ministers do, who cares about them!" Keiji Maeda scoffed.
"Listen to Duan Zang!" Although I didn't care about the minister's words and stopped marching, I still stopped Maeda Keiji's impatience.
"He didn't mean to simply dissuade, but to come forward and coordinate!" Kato Danzo added, "The envoy of Matsunaga Hide's envoy will probably arrive at the lord tonight, and at the same time, someone will rush to His Highnesses Hashiba, Niwa, Shibata, Akechi, and Tokugawa. The suggestion he made was: Oda Hall and His Royal Highness Nakayan are bizarre and difficult, and the only thing to do now is to stabilize the situation and avoid taking advantage of the real culprit! For this reason, it is hoped that a coordination meeting of all parties can be convened, rather than fighting each other at every turn......"
"Let everyone go to Kyoto under his control without taking troops, he really wants to think of it!" Fujido Takatora couldn't help but laugh all of a sudden, and the faces of the others also showed the meaning of can't help but laugh.
"It's not like that, but Matsunaga has made a promise to everyone!" Danzo Kato gave an explanation, but this explanation was even more incredible. He suggested that the meeting could be held in Gibu or Cheongju, and of course it didn't matter if it was any other place, and as soon as the highnesses reached a unified opinion, he would go there as scheduled to make an explanation, and he would take only the necessary guards with him. In the present situation, he asks you to exercise restraint and avoid being taken advantage of by the conspirators who are hiding behind the scenes! ”
There was a gasp in the room, and I don't know how many people had hallucinated about themselves at this time. Could this be the suggestion of a poisonous snake, is this still the same Matsunaga show?
"Is it possible that Matsunaga Shu will give up what he has in his hands?" Yoshitsugu Otani muttered, but then he himself thought it was stupid.
"In fact, he will not lose anything, because no one will be safe and bold to take it!"
