58. It is the end and the beginning

"What do you mean?" A question flashed into my head. "A trap!" But the answer was born. "What is the purpose? Who are the participants and planners? "These two derivative issues are much more complex. If I accept the appointment of the shogun, then what will Oda Nobunaga think about this? Surely it will not be happy, there is no doubt! If I leave Wakajiang Castle, who will be the guardian of Hanoi? Takamasa Hatakeyama, there will be no one else but him! If I were to actually fulfill my duty as a guardian of Izumi, how would the Miyoshi clan, which still had more than 10,000 troops in, respond? You will definitely fight to the death with me. That's a good plan to kill one stone!

"The general's love, my star Qing clan is grateful and disrespectful...... "At this moment, I can't be cold, I decided to say the clichΓ© first, and at the same time seemed to inadvertently examine everyone's expressions. Ashikaga Yoshiaki is undoubtedly the pivot of this matter, and the appointment is only legitimate if it comes out of his mouth! But his cultivation was quite profound, and he didn't express anything other than occasional relief. Ikeda was not particularly surprised, this incident had nothing to do with him, but this illustrates a problem: he and Kyogoku Takayoshi, who has the same expression, already know the details! Hatakeyama Takamasa's excitement is a little irrepressible, if this appointment is implemented, he will get the greatest benefit! Not only will you get Hanoi as a country, but you will also gain the upper hand in the clash with the internal Youzuo religion. Hosokawa Fujitaka's surprise was not contrived, and his temperament would not approve of such an overturn that stimulated Oda Nobunaga's behavior. Matsunaga Xiu looked at me with eyes full of the elders' love for their juniors, and I couldn't see the slightest falsehood with my Taoism, and I was worthy of being an old fox who had become a spirit, and I felt a chill down my spine, and this idea couldn't help but come from his handwriting. I accidentally caught a glimpse of Niwa Nagahide's eyes, and there was a little worry and doubt in it, in a sense, his opinion on this matter may be close to that of Oda Nobunaga! After looking around, I probably had a score in my heart, and said in a loud voice: "...... But I can only understand this kindness to His Royal Highness the General, no matter what aspect I consider, it is difficult to take on this great responsibility! ”

"How can Lord Bingbu say that?" After an awkward silence, Hatakeyama Takamasa couldn't help it at first, and suddenly jumped to the front desk. "The stars and young heroes have made such great contributions, and it is really not an excessive reward to protect a country! Besides, now is a difficult time for the reconstruction of the shogunate, don't you want to share your worries with the shogun? ”

"How can His Highness Hatakeyama say that, I insisted on reluctance precisely because of the general's position!" I immediately turned my head back. β€œβ€¦β€¦ Now that the shogunate has just been revived, it is the time to rely on the help and assistance of many loyal heroes in the world! For such an important position as the guardian of a country to be given on the basis of one's own selfish thoughts, how will the people of the world feel? His Royal Highness Hatakeyama is one of the three leaders of the shogunate that has been passed down for generations, how can he encourage His Royal Highness the Shogun to do such a disorderly act?! ”

"Lord Bingbe...... You...... How ......" Hatakeyama Takamasa is not a great character, and a few words made me get stuck, blinking his two little eyes and dizzy.

"Lord Bingbu is right......" Hosokawa Fujitaka immediately came out to play the round. Although his tone was enthusiastic, I could faintly see the sweat on my forehead. "It is worthy of the Lord of the Stars Military Department, everything he does and thinks is unfair and loyal to the country! I am deeply impressed by your integrity in serving the country regardless of selfish interests! His Royal Highness was only excited for a while, and he was not worried. His Royal Highness Hatakeyama is also a kind gesture for the country, and I hope that Lord Zhuxing will not care, and will unite sincerely for the world, for the court, and for the shogunate! ”

"Hosokawa-sama is serious!" I didn't want to make the relationship too stiff, but now that the words have been circled, I just happened to borrow the slope to get off the donkey. "Although the Zhuxing Qing clan is from a humble background, he also knows loyalty, and His Royal Highness Oda has always taught his subordinates: It is the duty of a subordinate to serve His Royal Highness the General!"

"Stars Lord Young Hero; His Royal Highness Hatakeyama is also loyal, and I don't think there will be any bitterness between them......" Matsunaga Hideki turned to Ashikaga Yoshiaki and said, "His Royal Highness the General's mood to rectify is understandable, but there is no need to be too careful. Since this proposal is not yet mature, let's think about it in the long run! ”

"Your Royal Highness the General......" I said after bowing to Ashikaga Yoshiaki, "Although the Miyoshi rebels have been defeated, their remnants still need to be cleared, and it would be bad if something disturbed the royal family!" Where is the duty of the last general, I hope His Royal Highness the general will understand! ”

"Lord Bingbu is really ......loyal," Ashikaga Yoshiaki smiled and waved his hand. So be it! ”

"Yes, the last general will retire!" I saluted again, then got up and walked backwards to the door, turned and walked out of the hall. I glanced quietly at the moment of going out, and happened to see a trace of anger flashing across Ashikaga Yoshiaki's face. "I wish this guy was sober!" When I got to the courtyard, I stretched out to the rising sun. Although the words just now were impassioned, there was only one actual purpose, to wake up Ashikaga Yoshiaki to understand his identity as a "puppet"! And judging from his last attitude, he obviously understood what I meant.

"Tadabei ......" Niwa Nagahide called out to me from behind, as he was walking down the steps of the hall. It seems that as soon as I came out, he took his leave. "Not bad!" He came to me with a smile in his eyes. "I thought you wouldn't be able to resist such temptation, but I didn't expect you to see through their intentions at a glance! That's good, if I were your age, I wouldn't be so sober! ”

"Niwa-sama has won the award......," I said modestly, putting on a sincere and teachable appearance. No matter from which point of view, only the lord is the hope for the early stability of the world! Ashikaga shogun...... Now it has become a source of trouble. "At this time, we had already walked out of the gate of the Honnoji Temple, and we saw that the troops of each family were already waiting there in separate lines.

"I'm relieved that you know this way......" Niwa Nagahide walked to his horse. I'll return to Sawa Mountain Castle, and then I'll go back to Gibu to report this to the lord. will not be calm here, so you must be careful when the dark tide is raging in the future! ”

"Thank you, Niwa-sama, for your teaching...... "Out of respect for my seniors, I helped him up." Then I'll go back to Ruojiang! ”

"There's no need to rush!" He rode on his horse and thought for a moment. "What if...... If you don't go back for the time being, won't something happen to Ruojiang? ”

"There should be no problem!" With more than 5,000 horses led by the Takenaka half-guards, and a well-trained iron artillery team, even if the Miyoshi army poured out, it would be as safe as Mount Tai.

"Then you can wait in Kyoto for a while!" After some consideration, he said: "After this great turmoil, there are signs of instability in the imperial court and the shogunate, and in this case, there should still be someone here to be able to suppress it!" You first garrison the castle of Katsura Chuankou, and wait for the new order of the lord to come! ”

"Then I'll stay here for a while!" I tried not to look triumphant. "What do you think of this cavalry that you have created with your own hands?" After watching Niwa Nagahide leave, I asked Mainhull on the side.

"Satisfied! Very satisfied! He said excitedly. No! I should say that it far exceeded my original expectations! Such a strong and light armor, the addition of the javelin concept, these are even compared with the famous cavalry of Europe and Arabia! From the perspective of development, the heavy cavalry should be said to be a category that is about to be eliminated, but the appearance of your cavalry may show its last glory in the East! I am very relieved to see all this, and I can leave with peace of mind! ”

"I didn't expect to be separated so soon!" Half a year of getting along with me made me feel sad at this time. "Do you have any new plans?"

"There are a lot of ideas!" He nodded with blazing eyes. "I had a lot of aspirations, but because of the decline of my family, they couldn't put them into practice! I have some savings over the years, and with your reward this time, I have basically an inheritance, of course...... By the standards of the European aristocracy! He smiled humorously. I'm going to have a new beginning, maybe to write a book! ”

"Writing a book?" I looked him up and down, but I couldn't see the slightest hint of his imagination. Maybe even the most old-fashioned people have their own romance in their hearts!

"It's you!" Mayinhull suddenly looked at me and said, "This victory may not be immediately beneficial, but in my experience, your reputation will increase rapidly!" You are not far from becoming a 'prince', are you ready for this new beginning? ”

"Yes! Am I ready? "As soon as I turned around, I suddenly saw Chiyo Tsuru, isn't he going to have a new beginning! Is he ready?
