When Kanamori came in, the traces of Yamauchi Kazutoyo's visit had been cleared, but that didn't mean he didn't know that Yamauchi had just arrived. Oh, yes! It's unrealistic to hide from people in such a small area, especially at such a sensitive time.

"Although it was rude to visit so late, I thought that Your Highness Yuzhou would not drive me out, so I still came!" Kanamori still maintains the character of when we were messing around in Owari, and as soon as he entered the house, he took the initiative to find a seat and sit down.

"Because I have a good temper, I am despised like this, which shows how much I have failed as a man!" I didn't go out of my way to him, and motioned for him to take the things on the table for himself.

"Oh...... I was wrong, and now I should call His Highness the Senator of the Stars! He suddenly slapped his head as a "sudden realization", and then there was a look of emotion and regret. "Sure enough, the temper follows the official position, and the temper seems to grow faster than the official position. Pity us guys who have no luck and no ability, and now we can't see when we walk in front of others! Then he shook his head and sighed again and again.

"Don't pretend to be pitiful to me, if anyone really can't pretend to see you, you will definitely go to his head!" After the joke was over, I asked, "Tell me about it!" What's the matter with coming to me? ”

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that you're late this time!" Jin Sen sat up straighter, and his expression suddenly became more solemn. "Although the death of the lord and the young lord is a very sad event, this Cheongju meeting has given us, our old friends, who have not seen each other for many years, a chance to reunite. I wanted to take advantage of the relaxed atmosphere before the meeting, everyone found a time to get together again, but I didn't want you to be late. Although the 'stormy waves' like the Cheongju Conference have little to do with small people like us, once you start, you're afraid that you're not in the mood! ”

"It's worthy of being an old friend for many years, and you can still take care of my feelings like this!" I sighed in my mouth, and I was really moved.

"Don't be so pessimistic, there are many people thinking about you!" His eyes rolled quickly, and then he said to me in a heartfelt manner: "Over the years, you have traveled all over the world for the great cause of the Oda family, although the scenery is infinite, but the bitterness is not something that ordinary people can bear. There is a sentence in the Han book, 'Peach and plum do not speak for themselves', and everyone has a number of merits and demerits in their hearts. Don't always think of yourself as a 'loner', there are a lot of people who remember you! ”

"For example......" I asked with a smile.

"Take me, for example! You still can't believe the love between our buddies? He patted his chest and said.

"Naturally, you don't need to say it, otherwise you wouldn't have come to visit me in the middle of the night. I'm asking who else, the more 'special' ones! "I knew he wasn't going to tell Shibata Katsuya in front of me, it was just a joke.

"For example...... If he said His Royal Highness Xinxiao, he was ......" He finally remembered someone.

"His Royal Highness Nobutaka?" I couldn't hold back my laughter and put down my glass to avoid spilling the water. It's not a joke, but it's pretty much it. "It's been a few days since I broke up with His Royal Highness Xinxiao, and he was worried about me so quickly? He's really a loving person, why didn't I realize it before? ”

"It seems that the guess is not wrong, you really have a misunderstanding!" Jin Sen let out a long sigh, as if he was helpless with countless sadness. "At the beginning of this rebellion, His Royal Highness Xinxiao resolutely agreed with you, and his determination to live and die together can be said to be clear every day. Later, when he came to Kyoto, His Royal Highness Nobutaka's behavior was a little more serious, but it was just out of the public intention of stabilizing the overall situation, but there was no disrespect to you. I don't know if someone said something in front of you, but you don't think that His Royal Highness Nobutaka will ignore your efforts to help the needy! ”

"His Royal Highness Xinxiao is a trivial matter to me, even if I have any unhappiness, I can endure it!" At this point, I slowly lowered my face, and my voice turned stern. "Now there are rumors outside that His Royal Highness Xinxiao has usurped the heart of rebellion, although people can't believe what they say, but all kinds of signs do make people feel suspicious. If it really comes to the point of both the enemy and the enemy, then it is superfluous to say anything! ”

"I didn't expect your misunderstanding to be so deep, it seems that I came to the right place today!" He sighed and said earnestly: "The Oda family can have today's foundation, which can be said to be brought down by the lord with the blood and sweat of our people, so it is a matter of course that the lord's blood and blood inheritance." May I ask all the sons of the lord today, who is more suitable for prestige by merit than His Royal Highness Xinxiao? ”

"However, there is a difference between the young and the old, this is the same truth since ancient times!" My attitude seemed quite tough, even blunt. "The death of the lord should be succeeded by the faithful young master, and after the faithful young lord, it is natural that the third mage is His Royal Highness. We don't talk about whether the promotion of His Royal Highness Xinxiao is considered a rebellion, but only that there are more than ten brothers and concubines of the lord now, since His Royal Highness Xinxiao can do it, they can't do it? In this way, the civil strife of the Oda family will not stop, and what kind of future can be discussed! ”

"Maybe it will be like that in the future, but His Royal Highness the Third Mage is afraid that there will be a big chaos right now!" He was not convinced by me, but rather dismissed it. "If His Royal Highness the Three Mages is established, I am afraid that the power of the entire Oda family will fall into the hands of the 'monkeys'. Thinking about what he has done over the years, thinking about the things in Shangyue City and Beilu back then, don't you have any understanding at all? ”

"Then you can disobey the law of etiquette?" I stared at him and seemed shocked. "If the rules and rituals can be changed at will, then what else is there in this world that is worth observing? Although the faithful young lord has not officially taken over the throne, this is already a fact. I can't imagine what we've been doing all this year. ”

"Why are you so dead-eyed!" Jin Mori was really anxious, and actually yelled at me. "Could it be that the 'monkey' usurped the Oda family, do you feel worthy of the lord? We absolutely can't allow it, it's a big deal to fight again, if you want to stop it, you can also transfer troops! With that, he sat there puffing up and didn't speak.

"Ouch...... "I walked back and forth in the room twice, then stood still and let out a long sigh." The Oda family can no longer withstand the toss, and I say that I will not transfer troops to again. Even I am planning to leave after this meeting, and I really can't bear to look at the situation in front of me anymore! I shook my head, tears narrowly falling.

"Then you ......," he said, looking at me very nervously after half a sentence.

"Although I am very reluctant to see this situation, I am also an important minister of the Oda family after all, and I still can't shirk my responsibility!" I looked up at the only light in the room, and tears finally welled up in my eyes. "I will definitely speak at this meeting, and it is impossible to let those people's ambitions succeed. You can go back and say to someone who is in the same direction as you: The supreme power of the Oda family will still be in the hands of someone surnamed Oda! ”

"Please!" He said behind my back.

When I turned around again, Kanamori was no longer in the house, and I laughed silently at the half-open door, and it didn't take half an hour for Shibata Katsuie and Oda Nobutaka to know that I was leaving, and I believe that it would make their hearts more "bottom-up". Oh, yes! Soon you can let it go, so why is there any need to be angry now?

"Lord!" Just when I was hesitating whether to call breakfast in and eat, Sakurai Sakichi appeared at the door again. "His Royal Highness Nine Ghosts Jialong has come to meet the lord!"

"Fortunately, it is the day after tomorrow, otherwise I would have to sleep at the meeting!" Thinking about it, my heart suddenly moved, what is the Nine Ghost Jialong, a person who does not belong to any faction, doing? "Please!" I bothered myself and sat back in my seat.

"I know you must be tired, but if you don't come again, I'm afraid it'll be too late!" As soon as the Nine Ghost Jia Long came in, he got straight to the point, and it seemed that there was really something urgent.

"It's alright!" I smiled and rubbed my cheeks with my hands, but I was afraid that my face was not very good-looking at this time. This is one of my problems, my body is already weak and I haven't been through decent exercise, so the slightest fluctuation is immediately apparent, and of course, the life of a wine and beauty also has a great negative impact. "Say it! What's the matter? "Because of the long-term cooperation and cooperation during the Shikoku campaign, I didn't have too much politeness to him.

"In a word, I'm asking you for your life!" The Nine Ghosts Jialong had a gloomy face, and his tone was extremely melancholy. "Actually, I've been waiting for you since yesterday afternoon, and I've been here alone. I've seen the two guests in front of you, and maybe compared to what they said, we, the wealthy people who are dependent on foreign countries, are really nothing! ”

"Don't talk so pitiful, let's talk about your situation!" I did realize something from his tone, probably because there were so many things in my head lately that I had overlooked them.

"Then I'll cut a long story short!" He also knew that time was pressing, so he spoke succinctly.

In fact, it is very simple to say, because several highnesses of the Oda family, who feel that they are not strong enough compared to us army commanders, in order to have a greater say, take advantage of this chaotic moment to start devouring small wealthy clans, and this situation is especially serious in Ise. The nine ghosts and others who were shocked dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, because it was very likely to be seen as a rebellion against the entire Oda family, and they had to come to me as a last resort.

"In a sense, having your back against a 'big tree' isn't necessarily a bad thing!" I thought about it for a moment and said this to him.

"Then this tree has to be reliable!" At the mention of this, he was a little angry. "Look at these Oda Highnesses of our Ise, do you have a person who seems to have achieved great things? It can be as short as a year or a few years, and when the storm is surging, should I be finished with them? ”

"Perhaps...... I can help you! "I suddenly felt a sense of openness in my heart, which also seemed to represent public opinion." But you have to tell me first, who are the people who think like you? ”
