A delicate soup bottle (which is actually a pot) lies quietly inside the box, and the dark blue velvet lining the body exudes a faint but elegant glow. This soup bottle is two feet tall, and the enamel is delicately divided into white and black at the top and bottom, and the most peculiar thing is that in the middle of the joint, the edges of both colors are pierced into the other color like thousands of needle tips, forming a slightly strange "zigzag" pattern.

The shape of the bottle is high neck and flat belly, and the "flow" used for water is short and placed on the shoulder, which makes the overall shape simple but slightly clumsy, because the mouth is higher than the flow, the water in the vessel can never be filled, and it is not very convenient to pour. From the analysis of various signs, this should be a thing from the Middle Tang Dynasty to the early Song Dynasty.

"It's beautiful, indeed, what is it?" I honestly complimented that I intuitively knew it wasn't ordinary.

"This is the famous 'Ninety-Nine Eggplant', a unique weapon in the world!" Although Hidekatsu Takeuchi has always been very low-key since he entered the account, he can't help but show a hint of pride when he mentions such a treasure.

"With this thing, I think His Highness the Inner Mansion can calm the wrath of the thunder!" I nodded, Oda Nobunaga's face was already reasonable. "What is this?" I think that since it can be placed side by side with "Ninety-Nine Eggplant", it should also have a certain identity.

"This is also a tea set, I hope His Royal Highness Zhuxing Yuzhou can accept a lot of smiles!" Hidekatsu Takeuchi hurriedly opened the lid of another box, and this time his flattering expression was even more obvious.

This box is much smaller than its companion, and naturally its contents are not very large. There is a pottery bowl on the red velvet line, the purple glaze is not very attractive, and the smooth glaze on the inside of the bowl is covered with red rust spots, as if it is the fur of a leopard. Ordinary people may not see the benefits of this bowl, but I can be sure that this is a "Tianmu bowl" from Fujian in the late Tang Dynasty.

"I don't dare to suffer if I don't have any merit, so Lord Takeuchi should take it back!" I didn't touch the box, I didn't even raise my hand.

"This ...... This is a 'Matsumoto tea bowl'! Thinking that I thought the gift was too light, Hidekatsu Takeuchi exclaimed.

I didn't squeak, just stared at him with cold eyes.

"His Royal Highness Yuzhou's plan for Sheji, how can it be said that it is futile!" Seeing that I might turn my face, Matsunaga immediately grabbed it. "Yu Guo, His Royal Highness Yuzhou is to set things right; Privately, you have the grace of rebuilding our Matsunaga family! Such a 'small thing' is really insignificant, but it is also a sincere heart that our Matsunaga family sincerely repents. In any case, please smile at His Royal Highness, even if it is not in our face, please maintain the dignity of the imperial court. You are leading the army on behalf of the imperial court, and respecting you is like respecting the imperial court! ”

"This kind of heart is really rare, please give His Highness the state compassion!" Yamashina said that he did his best to reconcile the relationship between all parties.

"If it's out of the status granted by the imperial court, then I have no choice but to accept it!" I thought about it, since it was in full view, there should be nothing wrong.

I reached out to pick it up and take a look, but Hidekatsu Takeuchi took a half step forward as if to explain it to me. In the afterglow, he caught a glimpse of a white paper under the bowl, and it turned out that he was trying to block the view of others.

"What does that mean!" I picked up the piece of paper and shook it in front of everyone, it was a huge sum of money of 10,000 yuan.

"This ...... This ......" Hidekatsu Takeuchi's face instantly turned pale, a situation he hadn't expected beforehand.

"His Royal Highness Yuzhou is diligent in the royal family and travels in all directions, it's really too hard!" The role of the bloodline cannot but be said, and Matsunaga is much faster than him in terms of reaction. "In the past few months alone, Your Highness, you have traveled thousands of miles to fight non-stop, and tens of thousands of soldiers have slept and fought hard. The imperial court should praise such a special honor, but after all, the imperial court is afraid that it does not have such ability. Of course, such a huge amount of military spending should not be given to His Royal Highness alone, so my father is a little bit of a lack of resources! ”

"Yes, yes, yes, that's exactly what it means!" Hidekatsu Takeuchi reached out and wiped the beads of sweat that were about to fall from his forehead.

"Oh, it's military spending!" The two ministers were also relieved to hear this explanation, but I still caught a hint of admiration on their faces.

"His Royal Highness Matsunaga is really thoughtful...... "I flipped the bill twice between my right fingers.

"Don't dare to praise His Highness the state!" The two members of the Matsunaga family glanced at each other and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"But for such a 'kindness', I can't accept it!" As soon as I spoke, I said: "It is the duty of our courtiers to be loyal to the royal family and maintain the place, otherwise why would the imperial court give me rank, and why would His Royal Highness the Inner Mansion grant me protection?" As for the need to raise soldiers, the daimyo has his own vassal country to follow, and if he accepts gifts from others at will, who is this samurai fighting for?! I know that some people are greedy for these personal gains, but such a disorderly act of government in my place must not be demonstrated! ”

"His Royal Highness Yuzhou! Our father and son are really ...... "Thinking that I was faking it, Matsunaga was anxious to add a fire."

"Long to reach people and slow, I still have something to say below!" I raised my left hand to stop him, and continued: "I know that the repentance of the virtuous father and son comes from the bottom of my heart, and it is also true that the court is in temporary difficulties. In order to give the Matsunaga family a chance to rehabilitate themselves, and also to use this money in the most suitable place. On behalf of the Imperial Court, I have decided to accept this sincerity from His Royal Highness Shimomatsunaga, and I will donate it to the Imperial Court immediately! As I spoke, I waved the piece of paper at Yamashina Yanji. Your Highness Yamashina, please accept it! ”

"His Royal Highness Yuzhou...... On behalf of Your Majesty and Your Excellency Konoe, I would like to accept your kindness! After a brief moment of shock, Yamashina immediately stepped forward to take the paper. His hands trembled a little, and it had been many years since anyone had been so "filial" to the court.

"Your Excellency Yamashina, you are wrong, it is His Highness Matsunaga who should be thanked!" I corrected him with a smile.

Before the mess here could be sorted out, something went wrong over there. A herald hurriedly ran in, knelt on one leg and reported to me and to everyone: "Returning to the lord: An hour ago, His Royal Highness Shunkei Tsutsui had conquered Yamato-gunyama Castle!" ”

"What?!" Everyone's faces changed color, especially Matsunaga and Hidekatsu Takeuchi. No one took Tsutsui Shunqing in their eyes in this battle, and they all regarded him as a coaxing character, but now that I took Duowen Castle, he also took Yamato Koriyama Castle, and the situation suddenly became strange and complicated.

"I didn't expect His Highness Tsutsui to act so quickly, this time...... This time it's a big problem! I leaned forward with my hands on the table in front of me, shocked and anxious.

In fact, there is nothing strange about it, according to the agreement, the night before yesterday, Yamanaka Kanosuke secretly went to Yamato-gunyama Castle with 3,000 troops to assist Tsutsui Shunkei. There are only about 1,000 defenders in Yamato Yama Castle in Yamato, and if you can't take it, it will be a ghost! I've kept this a secret, at least no one will notice it until I've been trying to get everyone's energy under the city. Not to mention that no one has revealed this matter now, even if it is spread out in the future, I have a Hua to say: I am the commander of the overall campaign, and there is nothing wrong with supporting friendly forces, right?

"Your Highness Yuzhou, how do you think this matter should be resolved?" Although Washio Takayasu is young, he has already learned that everything is decided by others. At this time, I was asked for an attitude for the first time, and I have something to say about the outcome in the future.

"This ...... It's really a bad choice! I smacked my lips and said irresponsibly, "Although I am in charge of this campaign, I have no direct subordinate relationship with His Highness Tsutsui. Strictly speaking, His Highness Tsutsui is not even a subordinate of His Highness the Inner Palace, but nothing more than a daimyo who supports the Oda family. I sent troops to Yamato this time, and His Royal Highness Tsutsui has already given assistance in many ways, that is, the meritorious minister of the imperial court. Under these circumstances, if I force him to hand over the city he has won in battle, it will not only be unbelievable, but it will also be unreasonable! ”

"Please also ask His Royal Highness Yuzhou to come out and say something!" Matsunaga was about to cry again.

"This matter can only be decided by His Royal Highness the Inner Palace, all I can do is to work hard for the Matsunaga family at that time!" I spread my hands out to show helplessness.

"My lord, the messenger of the main hall has arrived!" It was at this time that someone came to report again.

"Well, now there's finally someone suitable for mediation!" After comforting Matsunaga, I commanded the attendants, "Please come in, Messenger!" ”

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness Yuzhou, as soon as I arrived here, I heard that you have won another big battle!" This time it was Kazutomi Yamauchi who walked in, and as Oda Nobutada gradually took over power, his position in the family became increasingly important.

"I really don't dare to be, I just try my best to be loyal to the lord!" I sat him down at a new table, and I didn't want to be too intimate with him in full view. "Yamauchi-sama is here just in time, we have a tricky matter here that you need to solve!" I didn't allow him to say anything and kicked the ball over.

"I'm just a doorman who speaks for the lord, and I can do the same thing that a feudal minister like you can't do!" Kazutoyo Yamauchi is an extremely cautious person, and when he heard the word "tricky", he immediately became vigilant. "Besides, you have done many miraculous feats for the Oda family, and this time you have calmed down the situation in with another move. Based on this alone, even if you make a decision, the lord will not reject it. I really have something to do, so I won't bother too much! So saying, he stood up and tried to slip away.

"If you don't help, you don't have to leave in a hurry!" I motioned for the Gamo clan to pull him. "Anyway, our friendship is still there, and there are so many Excellencies and Lords here, you should always have time for a meal! By the way, didn't you come to me to announce the Lord's order? ”

"I just happened to pass by here, and the lord didn't know that you had conquered Duowen City!" He was barely pulled back, but his face was still full of reluctance. "The lord heard that His Royal Highness Tsutsui has made a great contribution this time, and has decided to assign the 50,000 stone territory of Yamato Mountain Castle to him. That's how I'm going to announce it to him! ”
