"It's rude!" Amidst the rumbling hooves of the horses and the strange stares of the crowd, I walked back and sat down in my original position. "I didn't expect it to be like this, making the two highnesses lose some face in front of their subordinates. It's really not well thought out, I'm really sorry! "I'm really remorseful and humble.

"Puff......" Ikeda couldn't hold back his laughter, but immediately covered his mouth.

"Oh......" Katsuya Shibata and "Monkey" looked at me and looked at each other again, and became very embarrassed after being excited. They also gave their own instructions and sent their guards away.

"That's good, that's good, if there are any different opinions, you can discuss them again!" Niwa Nagahide let out a long sigh of relief and took the time to look at me, full of gratitude.

"Just now, His Royal Highness Yuchai said all the reasons for opposing His Highness Xinxiao, I don't know what my opinion is?" I already knew what the "monkey" was thinking, but I still asked very "sincerely". Although I am ready to support his approach, I must let himself and Shibata Katsuie think that this is the result of his hard work.

"My opinion...... No! I insist that we must follow the ancient etiquette! "The monkey" showed a level of persistence that he had never felt before, and although his face had not turned red, his eyes were round again. The son inherits the father's business naturally, and the foundation of the ancestor should be inherited by the faithful young master, and the young master is naturally His Royal Highness the Three Masters, if this also requires half-heartedness, then what will we have in the future to see the first lord in the ground! This is my opinion, I will not hesitate to fight with anyone for the sake of the inheritance of His Royal Highness the Third Mage! ”

"This ...... It's true ......" Niwa Nagahide hesitated again, and even tears rolled in his eyes at the mention of Oda Nobunaga.

When it comes to personal feelings with Oda Nobunaga, he is the deepest among all the people here, he was the backbone of the "game corps" when Oda Nobunaga was young, no matter how many retainers doubted Oda Nobunaga's succession, he never wavered, and he stood firmly by Oda Nobunaga's side for most of his life. Therefore, he also knew Oda Nobunaga's last thoughts, that is, to support Oda Nobutada's ascendancy.

"His Royal Highness the Third Master...... Looks like you're only three years old, right? I frowned and said deliberately, as if I was very embarrassed.

"That's right! His Royal Highness the Third Mage is too young! Shibata Katsuie immediately followed, and he was not willing to let the "monkey" prevail like this. "Now the Oda family is at a very critical moment, and the slightest carelessness will be a situation of falling apart. With such a young child like His Royal Highness the Third Master in charge of such a huge family business, how could he not let his life covet it? It would be a joke to ask him to make a decision on something big right now. If the actual power is handed over to others, then it is very likely that there will be two outcomes: first, this guardian will steal from himself and eventually usurp the Oda family; Second, it is to have a grudge against this guardian when His Royal Highness the Third Master becomes an adult, which will eventually lead to an internal purge. Whatever the situation, the Oda family has come to an end, do you want such an outcome? ”

"Then let the Oda family's family business be transferred to the common stream, and let the lord be at peace underground?" Niwa Nagahide said with difficulty, although he was also afraid that the scene that Shibata Katsuya said would become a reality, but the words of "Monkey" just now still succeeded in arousing his emotional factors.

"You can let His Royal Highness Xinxiao inherit the family governor first, and then inherit it from him when His Royal Highness the Third Master is an adult in the future!" Seeing that everyone had sympathy for the Nobutoda family, Shibata Katsuya thought of a workaround, and thought he was smart and said, "This kind of thing has happened before, and many families have used this method in the stage of scarcity. For example, the Takeda family, after Shingen's death, the governor of the family was supposed to be inherited by the underage Takeomaru, but because of his young age, his father Takeda Katsuyori temporarily took over the position of the governor. Although it is a bit unsatisfactory, it is also a last resort! ”

"Unsatisfactory? A 'unsatisfactory' explanation is over! The "monkey" squinted at him and sneered, although it was cynical, but it was not as tense as just now. At that time, Takeda Shingen was indeed amazing, but his preference for Shiro Katsuyori was the biggest failure in his life. It was Takeda Katsuyori, the acting governor, who had a serious estrangement from the ministers because of his psychological inferiority, and repeatedly insisted on going his own way in order to show his cleverness, which led to the fiasco of Nagashino and the result of a series of betrayals and divorces. As for His Royal Highness Nobuxiao, do you think he may be so happy to hand over the position of governor at that time? ”

I listened silently, excluding the interest factor, I think what "Monkey" said is indeed very reasonable, but I don't know if he came up with it alone. For the highest throne of power, it has been common for fathers and sons and brothers to kill each other since ancient times, not to mention uncles and nephews. As far as I know, Oda Nobutaka is a person, and it would be easier to ask him to give up that seat to the Third Master than to ask the wolf to spit out the meat that came to his mouth.

I suddenly thought of what he had just said about Katsuyori Takeda's inferiority, which is probably also his inadvertent expression of his true psychology.

"We can make a contract with him in the name of the joint name of all the important ministers, and agree to officially take over the Oda family when His Royal Highness the Three Masters are in charge!" Shibata Katsuie said to himself that everyone understood that it would not be long before the battle for power in the Oda family was settled.

"It's easy to say!" Hideyoshi Hashiba continued to sneer. "When His Highness Nobutaka was in Ise, he had territorial disputes with His Highness Nobuo and Nobubao more than once, and two or three of them even went to the front of the ancestors. In all fairness, there are indeed responsibilities on several parties, and His Royal Highness Xinxiao cannot be blamed alone, but it can also be seen that he does not have the same character as the sage Zhou Gong. Once he sat on the throne of the governor, how could he still keep the original agreement? ”

"It's really not good!" Niwa Nagahide also shook his head repeatedly, and there was even some blame in his tone. "Whether it is the governor or the acting governor, as long as His Royal Highness Xinxiao becomes the king, then he will be our lord. How can a courtier make an agreement with his lord when he will abdicate the throne, isn't that a rebellion? Besides, this kind of thing will not only be an internal matter of the Oda family in the future, but even the slightly connected Daimyo of Waibo will have a reason to intervene, and the situation will become more and more difficult to control! ”

"You don't want to control all the power of the Oda family yourself, do you?" Shibata Katsuie said darkly, looking at the other four of us with suspicion. "How can His Royal Highness the Third Mage be able to handle political affairs alone, if the foreign minister has been acting as the power for a long time, what will be the situation in more than ten years, I think this time is enough!"

"I ......" and "Monkey" are in a hurry to argue with him.

"You?!" Shibata Katsuya was not slow to react this time, and immediately rolled his eyes and glared at him. "I can't trust you at all, and I don't think you trust me. In light of this, no matter which of us is in charge alone, others will always have something to say. All of us have a similar influence, and if we all stay in Kyoto, it will be difficult to guarantee the safety of the marginal areas, and if we are in the field, we may not be able to carry out the instructions issued by the Oda family! ”

This time, Niwa Nagahide sat there with a bitter face and didn't speak, he was worried about his reputation, if his ruling caused the suspicion of the Oda family, his reputation would be over. Maybe he doesn't care about all the people in the world, but it's impossible not to care about what the Oda family thinks of him.

At this time, Shibata Katsuya seemed to have led the problem into a dead knot, and even the "monkey" did not dare to speak casually. He was not strong enough to give orders in Kyoto alone, so he could never do anything that would "misunderstand" everyone, or say something like that.

"I understand the general meaning of both of you, I don't know if there are any other words?" I waited about three and a half minutes before I spoke, looking at Shibata Katsuya and then at "Monkey".

Both of them subconsciously shook their heads, as if they had just remembered that I, the most powerful person, had not yet made a clear statement.

"Then let's talk about my thoughts in the next one, um~~ cough!" I cleared my throat a little and drew everyone's attention with my gaze. "What the two Highnesses said is indeed very reasonable, and the worries are by no means unfounded. But today's problems have to be solved, and it's up to those of us to come up with a perfect solution. For this reason, I propose a plan, which should be all thrown bricks and jade! ”

"What Your Highness the Stars says must be a high opinion!" Ikeda Tsuneko immediately began to make a noise, Niwa Nagahide also had a look of hope, and Shibata Katsuie and "Monkey" had no choice but to nod their heads in this atmosphere, although they didn't think too clearly.

"Although the two Highnesses have serious differences, there is one thing in common, in the long run and fundamentally, the orthodox heir of the Oda family is still His Royal Highness the Third Master, isn't that so?" I looked around with an inquiring gaze, and the others nodded in turn. "Then my opinion is not to go through this formality, and directly inherit the family business by His Royal Highness the Third Master!" Before anyone could understand their intentions, I suddenly spoke in a resolute tone.

"Isn't this ......" "Monkey" was naturally flushed with excitement, but Shibata Katsuya didn't want to admit defeat like this.

"I'm not done yet!" I've also made clever use of the rules, and now is the time to show that I'm "fair". "What His Highness Shibata said is also very reasonable, and I deeply admire your loyalty. It is indeed very inappropriate for us to take care of His Royal Highness the Three Masters, it is better for this position to be held by His Royal Highness Xinxiao, before His Royal Highness the Three Masters become an adult and take charge of the great government, His Royal Highness Xinxiao may as well preside over all political affairs with full authority! ”

This time it was the turn of the "monkey" to look abnormal, and the upper teeth came out of the lips and bit the lower lip fiercely. Seeing the inexplicable attitude of others, he couldn't help but ask: "Isn't this still the establishment of His Royal Highness Nobuxiao as the de facto head of the family?" ”

"It's different!" Niwa Nagahide pondered for a moment and said slowly, he finally understood what I meant.
