73, playing with snakes (middle)

Matsunaga looks quite embarrassed, but it's no wonder that the defeated army will be defeated! The clothes and armor on his body were torn in many places, and the samurai's bun on the top of his head was also half scattered, and there were some blood stains on his cheeks and sleeves, but it looked like they were someone else's.

"How...... How did it happen...... This way! I had a "shocked" look on my face, and I circled around him, sighing in my mouth. In fact, my heart is already happy at this moment, and a feeling of relieving hatred rushes straight to my chest. Matsunaga shows you, you old guy, it's finally in my hands today!

"Uncle!! While I was wondering how to continue to make fun of him, I was startled by a sudden out-of-the-way wail. Matsunaga knelt down and hugged my thighs and cried, but was immediately pulled away by the attendants around me, and was almost seen as an assassination.

"Oh?!" I was stunned for a long time before I realized that he was calling me, and this title combined with the scene here and now really made me cry and laugh.

"Uncle, I've seen you! These days...... "I haven't fully figured out what is going on, and Matsunaga is already crying with a handful of snot and tears." The content is nothing more than that their father and son were confused for a while, and they were instigated by others (who can instigate their father and son?). Only then did he take the risk and commit a mortal crime, and then he always wanted to go back and confess his guilt to His Royal Highness, but he was afraid of being severely punished, so he delayed it again and again. They also said that I was the only savior in the hearts of their father and son, and they looked forward to my return from Hokuriku...... And so on, Yunyun! Speaking of which, I am actually not a few years older than him, but his uncle's voice is actually very affectionate and sincere.

Because the battle was over, Matsunaga was also caught, and several of my generals also returned to the big tent together, and they couldn't help but be stunned when they saw this scene in front of them, and even they couldn't help but wonder if I really had some extraordinary relationship with the Matsunaga family! As for the two ministers, looking at their expressions has almost confirmed this.

"First...... Let's send Hisami-sama down to freshen up first! "I had to ask someone to take him down first, and then I was going to drive me crazy if I listened to it. I've seen a lot of shameless people, but it's really a "different species" between heaven and earth that is shameless to this extent!

"No wonder His Royal Highness Yuzhou insisted on launching an attack on Duowen City, it turned out to be 'deep love, responsibility'!" After the "living treasure" was taken out, the "hanged ghost" face of Yamashina Yanji couldn't help but be moved. "Matsunaga Xiu's father and son rebelled against the imperial court, although I also feel very sad, but it is not as painful as His Royal Highness Yuzhou. It is sometimes far more heartbreaking to see the mistakes of those you trust most affectionately than your enemies. Alas...... What a thing of the world! He sighed again.

"I'm not actually ......" I don't think it's good to make such an impression on him, but I don't know how to explain it.

"I really didn't expect it!" Rygao Takayasu also came over to join in the fun. "His Royal Highness Yushu hesitated for many days in Kyoto and Tawen Castle, originally wanting to give their father and son another chance. But when I saw their insistence on going their own way, I can now understand how sad you were at that time! Your last extreme seems to be the right one, and only then can you pull them back from their lost path as soon as possible. I finally understand your thoughts, it's really great! He shook his head and sighed.

"I ...... Never mind! "I have given up the intention of explaining, and it seems that one sentence or two sentences are not clear. There is no way to do this at the moment, so I can only adjust slowly in the future.

"Your Highness, shouldn't you send a messenger to Xingui Mountain City next?" It took a long time for Tianshan Keyan to finish expressing his feelings and solemnly suggest to me.

"Send him a messenger? Make no mistake, we are serious 'Wang Shi'! At this time, I was feeling uncomfortable with Matsunaga's "fly technique", and my voice inevitably became a little louder. "We will follow the edict of the imperial court and the decree of His Royal Highness of the Inner Government to rebel, and we must do righteous and bright deeds, and only in this way can we achieve the purpose of showing the right way in the world. After the victory, the messenger sent to the traitor to sue for peace, where is the power of heaven?! Where's the axiom?! Where is the dignity of the Imperial Court and His Royal Highness the Inner Palace?! With that, I walked back to my seat and sat down.

"His Royal Highness Yuzhou doesn't have to be like this......" Seeing my tough attitude, beads of sweat appeared faintly on his forehead, lest this mission be in danger of ruin. As you just said, Matsunaga's strategy should be based on 'healing the sick and saving lives'! In that case, you should be merciful and leave them alive, and don't over-punish them for not betraying your kindness. If you still look at everything, how can the messenger be a peacemaker! It should be a declaration to them......" He began to chatter and dissuade, and Washio Takayasu also came to help.

No matter what they say, I just won't budge, if I send an envoy first, will I still have face? Besides, the steps of some things are at a critical moment, and it is better to delay them if they can be delayed.

"Report to the lord, the envoy of the Matsunaga family, Hidekatsu Takeuchi, asks to see you!" It wasn't until a doorman came to report that the farce ended.

"Let him in!" I and the other two were relieved that we both had a step.

"The envoy of the Matsunaga family, Hidekatsu Takeuchi, meets His Royal Highness Zhuxing Yuzhou, and meets His Excellency Yamashina and His Excellency Washio!" After Hidekatsu Takeuchi respectfully saluted me, he turned to salute the two ministers sitting on the other side. After all, they are nominally the imperial court's envoys, and the number of courtesies they should have is the same.

Hidekatsu Takeuchi is about fifty years old, but his intuitive age is definitely a lot older than his actual age, and his bamboo-like figure should be considered tall in Japan at this time, but the serious water snake waist and hunchback have made the momentum that should have disappeared completely, two small yellow eyes are hidden in thick wrinkles, and there are a few sparse beards on his chin. After such a person came in, he couldn't stop bowing, which added a bit of obscene temperament.

He was followed by a thin squire without a knife, holding two small boxes in his hands.

"Lord Takeuchi is here to discuss the surrender on behalf of the Matsunaga family!" Despite the honorifics, my tone was cold, and my face sank like a cumulonimbus cloud. In line with my questioning, the generals on both sides also raised their swords and looked at them coldly.

"Yes, yes, yes! In the next is to come for this...... "Hidekatsu Takeuchi didn't mind the insulting elements in my words, but said yes again and again. In order to show the sincerity of his tone, he also put his right hand into a fist in front of his abdomen and kept pounding it. "The contemptible lord was bewitched by the demon for a while, and offended His Royal Highness the Inner Mansion Tianwei to create this mortal sin. Although he was full of remorse, he was terrified of the guilt of the inner palace and did not know what to do. Now I am fortunate to be enlightened by His Royal Highness ...... Benevolence, "He is also a sincere repentance, and the confession that my Xingqing clan is the "great savior" of the Matsunaga family.

I really admire this father and son, and I don't know if I have checked the content in advance with such a consistent caliber. According to the suddenness of my actions, they should not have such an opportunity, so such tacit cooperation is really enviable! Today, they are facing me, they say so, but if you change people, it is entirely possible that this "perfect person" is Hashiba or His Royal Highness Niwa. I couldn't help but sigh secretly, when will my son be able to figure it out so much with me?

"Alright, I know what I have to do!" I interrupted his compliments and confessions, which sounded tireless. Now that the main purpose has been basically achieved, I am also just pushing the boat with the water. Whether or not to beat Matsunaga to death with a stick can only be decided by Oda Nobunaga. "Since His Royal Highness Matsunaga has lost his way and has returned, does he have any indication? I'm not talking about me, I'm talking about it in front of His Highness the Inner Palace! "My voice is still harsh, but the sharp-eyed can already hear the loosening of the content.

"Of course, of course!" Hidekatsu Takeuchi immediately climbed up along the "pole", and the speed was very much in line with the tradition of the Matsunaga family. "For this mistake (replacing the crime with a mistake and thinking that I can't hear it), the contempt has made a deep reflection, and he will affirm this in front of His Royal Highness Yuzhou when he comes. In order to show his sincerity, he will go to Kyoto to plead guiltily after this incident. Everything is disposed of, but by the will of the imperial court and the ruling of His Royal Highness the Inner Palace! ”

"His Royal Highness Matsunaga himself doesn't have a 'meaning'?" I continued to ask.

"But by disposal, there is no other word!" He showed the spirit of "dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water", and it seems that Matsunaga Hide, even if he sees Oda Nobunaga, he will cry bitterly.

"My father and son both have this idea, and if they don't have the right mouth, they will be destroyed!" Matsunaga was brought back after packing up, and immediately began to cooperate when he saw this scene.

"So be it!" Waving his hand, he motioned for them to keep these words and go to Oda Nobunaga, I really have no interest in hearing them again. If there was such a thing as "heaven's curse", their father and son would have known how many times the heavens and the earth would have been destroyed!

In order to show his sincerity of remorse for this incident...... "Although I saw my expression, it seems that Hidekatsu Takeuchi did not finish his words." His Royal Highness the Inner Mansion and His Royal Highness Yuzhou are both people of high character, and they are a public heart based on the world. But the number of courtesies exchanged cannot be wasted, so the contempt still prepared a 'respect'! With that, the attendant immediately placed the two boxes on the table.

"This is His Highness Matsunaga's 'respect'?" I asked, squinting my eyes.

"Please ask His Royal Highness Yuzhou to forward it to His Royal Highness the Inner Palace, it is really not a 'respect'!" Hidekatsu Takeuchi bowed deeply.

"Since it's a gift to His Royal Highness the Oda Uchifu, I don't think I need to interfere!" I leaned back and looked at the sky, looking like I had drawn a line.

"This ......" Hidekatsu Takeuchi immediately became nervous when he heard me say this, and peeked at the two ministers.

"His Royal Highness Yuzhou is the first important minister under His Royal Highness the Inner Palace, why should he be so clear!" Yamashina Yanji had no choice but to come up, and it seems that he also belongs to the kind of people who take people's short hands. "Besides, His Highness was ordered to quell the rebellion this time, and it is reasonable to have an explanation to His Highness the Inner Palace. Where the duty of the Holy Mandate lies, Your Highness doesn't have to shirk it! ”

"That'...... All right! "I reluctantly agreed, and I still have to give Qin Cha a face.

"Thank you very much for Your Highness Yuzhou!" Hidekatsu Takeuchi immediately stepped forward quickly, and with both hands lifted the lid of the larger box on the left. It stands to reason that there should be such a procedure, otherwise the gift is something insulting or damaged, and the responsibility will not be clear.
