Chapter Twenty-Nine: Matsudaira Hirotada is dead
In March, the cold winter is about to leave, and the warm spring is coming, and the people are about to start a busy year again, with commoners trying to survive and daimyo trying to expand the size of their families. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt's just that this spring is too cold for the Mikawa Matsudaira family, because their governor Matsudaira Hirotada was actually killed by his retainer Iwamatsu Hachiya......
In this era, the sudden death of the family governor is undoubtedly a general situation, especially since the only concubine in the family is still in the hands of the rival daimyo. For a moment, everyone in the Matsudaira family was confused, because they suddenly found that what they had done seemed to have no meaning. After all, if it goes on like this, the Matsudaira family, which has no one to inherit, will soon perish.
Nakono Castle.
"What?!" Oda Nobunaga and the others were obviously shocked by this news, and after reacting, they quickly turned their heads to Chiyo Take, who was sitting next to him. I saw that he looked sad at this time, biting the corners of his mouth, for fear that he would cry.
"Takechiyo, you have to be strong, now the Matsudaira family is the only one left with you, you must be strong!" Oda Nobunaga walked up to Chiyo Take's side and comforted him.
At this time, Overlord Pill was more concerned about the problem on Mikawa's side, "What does Your Highness think?" Is there any action? Although he couldn't remember this not-so-important history, he also knew that if nothing else, Takechiyo would be going to the Imagawa family. Hawkers, this is naturally a matter of no concern for the Overlord Maru, but to be honest, if possible, he doesn't want the Imagawa family to completely control Mikawa. After all, what if the barrel loses in the future?
"Still discussing! Lord Tiete advocated persuasion, Lord Shibata advocated taking the opportunity to attack Mikawa, and Lord Nobuyuki was also the main battle. The person who answered was named Mori Kasei, a samurai who married with Nohime, and the first retainer under Oda Nobunaga, who stayed in Furuti Castle and was responsible for delivering news.
"What?! Still discussing?! These guys are still wasting time at this time?! Overlord Maru shouted angrily, which immediately attracted the attention of Oda Nobunaga and the others.
"What's wrong? Overlord Pill? Oda Nobunaga asked, his expression was very serious, because he understood that the overlord pill would be so gaffe just now, something very serious must have happened.
"Master Yoshi, His Highness hasn't even discussed the result yet, it's just ......" Overlord Maru complained loudly, and then suddenly reacted, and hurriedly pulled Oda Nobunaga and said, "Master Yoshi, now is a good opportunity, you hurry up to Gudu Castle, and let Takechiyo go back to Mikawa to take over the Matsudaira family!" ”
The words immediately shocked Oda Nobunaga and Takechiyo. "Is this okay? Can it really be? Chiyo Take, who was still in grief just now, asked anxiously, no way, no one can understand the feelings of people who have not been able to go home for many years after learning that they can finally go home.
And Oda Nobunaga also reacted, "Not bad! Let Takechiyo take over as the governor of the Matsudaira family, so that the Matsudaira family will be from the Oda family. With their help, driving the Imagawa family out of Mikawa will be a breeze! Oda Nobunaga said excitedly.
Neither Oda Nobunaga nor Overlord Maru considered whether Takechiyo would become an ally or even a subordinate of the Oda family after becoming the governor of the Matsudaira family, because in their opinion, it was a matter of no suspense. Hawkers, young man, righteousness is obviously more valued than others.
"Overlord Maru! Chiyo Take! Walk! Let's go to Gudu! Oda Nobunaga shouted.
"Oh!"
Galloping all the way, the three of them rushed to Furuto, and when they learned that everyone was still arguing, Oda Nobunaga immediately rushed in with the two.
"Master Kichibo? How did you guys get here? And who is he? ......" Oda Nobuhide asked with a frown, his good mood because of Matsudaira Hirotada's death had long since disappeared in the noise of the retainers. As for Takechiyo, well, please forgive Oda Nobuhide for not remembering Takechiyo, after all, he said it in a hurry, and except for the second meeting when he first came, Oda Nobuhide has never seen Takechiyo again.
"Daddy! Please give the order immediately and let Takechiyo go to Mikawa to take over the Matsudaira family! Oda Nobunaga said loudly as he pushed Chiyo Take, who was beside him, forward.
"What?!" Hearing this, Oda Nobuhide immediately stood up, and at the same time, many retainers around him also instantly quieted down and looked at Oda Nobunaga in shock.
"Daddy! Chiyo Takechiyo and I have a brotherly relationship, and if he inherits the Matsudaira family, then the Matsudaira family will be allies of the family from now on! Oda Nobunaga said loudly.
"Hmm......" Oda Nobuhide sat down again, his eyes lingering on Oda Nobunaga and Takechiyo, he was thinking, thinking about whether it would be beneficial for the Oda family to do so. After all, if Takechiyo is put back, then whether he is willing to let the Matsudaira family become a subsidiary of the Oda family is up to him. Well, although Oda Nobunaga is talking about allies, allies who don't have strength can only be said to be attached. Whether it's Oda Nobuhide or other retainers think so.
"His Highness Oda! Takechiyo is here to swear in the name of his ancestors! If His Royal Highness Oda is willing to let Zai Xia return to Mikawa, the Matsudaira family is willing to become the vanguard of the Oda family and fight in this troubled era! Takechiyo suddenly bowed to the ground and said loudly.
"Hmm......" Oda Nobuhide heard this, looked at Takechiyo who was prostrating on the ground, and then looked at Oda Nobunaga next to him, although he still didn't say anything, but he was obviously a little moved. After all, if the Matsudaira family is really willing to become a subsidiary of the Oda family, then the benefits are not the slightest. Although it may not be possible to occupy Mikawa because of this, the marriage with the Saito family and the help of the Matsudaira family can completely set their sights on Enoe and even Ise.
And after having the Matsudaira family, the most important point is that if the Imagawa family wants to attack the Oda family, they must first pass the Matsudaira family. Therefore, Oda Nobuhide was moved, opened his mouth, and was about to agree to this matter.
"My lord! Never! At this moment, Lin Xiuzhen on the side suddenly jumped out and shouted, "Lord, if you put it back, it will undoubtedly let the tiger return to the mountain, how can the grievances between Oda and Matsudaira for more than ten years be resolved so easily?" ”
"This ......" Hearing Lin Xiuzhen's words, Oda Nobuhide's idea of firming up just now was instantly shaken, because Lin Xiuzhen made sense. For a while, many retainers who were pro-Lin Xiuzhen also echoed their words, and some even suggested that Takechiyo be killed directly and the head sent to Mikawa. However, this proposal was directly ignored by everyone, and they still had to say it with a face.
This situation made Takechiyo's expression instantly become lost, "Perhaps, the Matsudaira family will perish from now on......" Takechiyo thought to himself, not knowing why, he actually had a trace of relief.
It's just that at this moment, Oda Nobunaga suddenly shouted, "Quiet! "Directly frightened the people who were still noisy. Immediately, Oda Nobunaga ignored everyone, walked straight in front of Oda Nobuhide, and asked in a deep voice, "Daddy! Do you believe me? ”
Looking at Oda Nobunaga in front of him, Oda Nobunaga didn't know why, he suddenly felt a little in a trance, he thought of all kinds of things that gave him headaches when Oda Nobunaga was a child, thought of Oda Nobunaga sneaking into Cheongju alone to set fire, and thought of Oda Nobunaga's dignified appearance at the wedding some time ago......
"Faith!" A smile appeared at the corner of Oda Nobuhide's mouth, "You are my eldest son, and you are also the young master of the Oda family!" I don't believe you, who else can I trust? Oda Nobuhide said with a chuckle.
"Lord!" Seeing this, Lin Xiuzhen hurriedly shouted, he had a bad premonition.
"Nobunaga! You haven't made any contributions since Yuanfu, and today, this matter is the first task I have given you! How to do it, you can do it yourself! After Oda Nobuhide finished speaking, he stood up and left.
"Haha! Chiyo Take! Overlord Maru! Let's go! After Oda Nobunaga got Oda Nobuhide's consent, he immediately laughed and left.
"Young master, wait for the old minister!" Hirator Masahide only reacted at this time, and quickly wiped his somewhat red and swollen eyes and chased after him, it seems that the old man is sentimental again.
"This isn't good...... Lin Xiuzhen frowned and looked at Oda Nobunaga in the distance, and hurriedly left the assessment room and went straight to Suemori City.
Suemori City.
"What? My father actually agreed to let Chiyo take back to Mikawa?! Oda Nobuyuki looked at Lin Xiuzhen in shock, this news made him completely unacceptable.
"Yes, now that Nobunaga is married to the daughter of Saito Michizo, if his brother Takechiyo inherits the Matsudaira family again......" Hayashi Xiuzhen didn't say any more, because Oda Nobuyuki had already started to smash things.
"Bastard! Bastard! Why did all the good things go to that fool? I'm the best person to become a governor! Oda Nobuyuki roared angrily. From the time he was a child, everyone around him thought that he was the most suitable person to succeed the family governor, even if he didn't have this idea at first, but over time, this idea has become the truth in his heart.
Lin Xiuzhen didn't speak, but his face was also worried. Since he gave up Oda Nobunaga to become Oda Nobuyuki's teacher, there has been no turning back, and he must be promoted to the position of family governor. And the current situation is obviously not what he wants to see.
At this moment, Oda Nobuyuki suddenly stopped roaring and sneered and muttered to himself, "Hmph, I won't let that Takechiyo inherit the Matsudaira family's ...... so easily"
"Second son?" Lin Xiuzhen looked at Oda Nobuyuki in surprise, and he suddenly had a thought of regret in his heart.
At this time, Oda Nobunaga and others had returned to Nakono Castle and held a farewell banquet for Takechiyo. In addition to the Overlord Maru, Inuchiyo and they also came, because of Oda Nobunaga's relationship, in the past two years, they have also become acquainted with Takechiyo.
