Kyoto, inside the Imperial Palace where Ashikaga Yoshiki lived. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Your Highness, is it worth it?" Hosokawa Fujitaka asked in a low voice.

"Do you mean to reward Yoshinobu Yamada with those things?" Ashikaga Yoshiteru asked with a chuckle.

"Not bad! Although His Highness's move is to win over the Oda family, Your Highness should know that Oda Nobunaga has rejected your reward and name......" Hosokawa Fujitaka said with a little dissatisfaction.

Although it is said that among the daimyo who have always visited Ashikaga Yoshiteru, there are not many people who refuse to help the shogunate, but it is the first person who says it so bluntly like Oda Nobunaga.

"Haha~ But didn't he agree in the end?" Ashikaga Yoshiteru laughed. Only then, the smile became bitter, "Moreover, we can only rush to the doctor now." Those family treasures or names are not of much value in the first place, and if they can really be exchanged for a supporter, they are all worth it......"

Saying that, Ashikaga Yoshiki slowly stood up, looked at the bright moon outside and said lightly, "Moreover, they give me a different feeling from others, I always feel that in the near future, they will become a force that can affect the situation in the world......"

"This ......" Hosokawa Fujitaka opened his mouth, completely unaware of where Ashikaga Yoshiteru's idea came from. To be honest, in his heart, the Oda family is surrounded by the powerful Toki family and the Imagawa family, and there is no room for development at all.

"Haha~ Okay Fujitaka, go back and have a good rest, we have to continue to be busy tomorrow." Ashikaga Yoshiki turned around and laughed and said to Hosokawa Fujitaka. For this retainer who has always followed him and never left him, Ashikaga Yoshiteru did not just regard him as a retainer.

After Hosokawa Fujitaka left, Ashikaga Yoshiki slowly walked back to the house, the moonlight was in the sky, but it was not time for him to rest. When he came to the table, he slowly pulled out a book from the pile of books on the side, slowly opened it, and did not stop until a certain page, only to see that on it, it was Yamada Yoshinobu's information.

Yoshinobu Yamada, once known as Nobumura Yamada and Masamura Yamada, the lord of Nakono Castle, and the adopted son of a ninja under the command of Oda Nobuhide, the former governor of the Owari Oda family. Growing up with the current governor Oda Nobunaga, he was a die-hard supporter of Oda Nobunaga. He showed almost inhuman martial prowess in battles such as the elimination of the Oda family in Cheongju, the attack on Mikawa, and the pacification of the civil strife in Oda Nobuyuki. Now, he is the most relied on retainer under Oda Nobunaga, and at the same time has a good relationship with the powerful minister Shibata Katsuya and others.

After reading it, Ashikaga Yoshiki muttered to himself in a low voice, "Those guys in Koga are really powerful, but it's a pity that they only play for the Rokkaku family......" After speaking, Ashikaga Yoshiki turned to another page again, and the name on it was Nagao Jinghu.

Putting aside Ashikaga Yoshiteru's constant search for forces that could support the revival of the shogunate, on the other hand, Oda Nobunaga and the others left for Kaimachi directly after dawn. Naturally, it was to return to Owari by boat.

The sea breeze was blowing, Yamada Yoshinobu was standing at the bow of the boat, his long hair fluttering in the wind, unlike the samurai of this era, as a traverser, how could he not adapt to the feeling of tying his hair, maybe it was because he had always had short hair in his previous life?

"Stepping on the ......" The sound of slow footsteps slowly approached, all the way to Yoshinobu Yamada's side.

"Yoshinobu, can't you figure it out?" Niwa Nagahide asked softly.

"Well, I don't understand why it is so difficult to marry Aichi, it is not enough after Yoshibo gives the word, and there is also going to the general to get the official position, and then the word, and finally there is the change of surname Oda......" Yamada Yoshinobu did not hide his distress, because in his heart, Niwa Nagahide is also his brother, and it is worth entrusting the brother behind him.

"Hehe, it's no wonder, after all, you haven't been in contact with the so-called family since you were a child, and we don't care much about our background." Niwa Nagahide said with a chuckle when he heard this.

......Hearing this, Yamada Yoshinobu did not reply, but just looked at the sea in silence. For things like family and origin, as a **** in his previous life, he didn't have much experience at all. Although the previous life was not a world where all beings were equal, in his world, there was no distinction between people who were high or low, only rich and poor, who had power or no power.

But now, because of this inexplicable thing in his thoughts, it has inexplicably become a difficulty for him to marry Aichi, and even Oda Nobunaga specially contributed money and efforts to solve this matter for him. It made him feel ...... How so? It's not a worry, after all, he didn't care very much, but it was true, very awkward.

It's like the kind of rich in the previous life, obviously they are all married, and they have to follow the woman's surname. Well, Yoshinobu Yamada seems to be a macho guy too.

Seeing that Yoshinobu Yamada didn't answer, Niwa Nagahide chuckled and continued, "Yoshinobu, do you know? Actually, I envy you......"

"Huh?" Yoshinobu Yamada looked at Niwa Nagahide strangely, not knowing why he would say that.

"Weird, huh? Your kid isn't very handsome, and his brain is even more stupid. If it weren't for that inexplicably powerful martial arts, he would be a guy who would be cannon fodder......" Niwa Nagahide didn't seem to see Yamada Yoshinobu's already clenched fist at all, and still mocked to himself.

"It's just...... Really, I envy you......" Niwa Nagahide's long sigh made all the unhappiness in front of Yamada Yoshinobu disappear. "Whether it's me, the Li family, and Chengzheng, they are very envious of you."

"Why?"

"Because you can still laugh and play with your lord as before...... And we're no longer good......" Niwa Nagahide said lightly.

"You can too...... Hehe, is it because of the so-called family and origin? Yamada Yoshinobu said halfway through his words and suddenly laughed.

"Not bad. Family, background, this makes us grow farther and farther away from the lord when we become adults. After all, we are retainers, he is the sovereign, if it is still the same as before, then there will be a situation where the king is not like the king, and the minister is not like the minister. In this case, who else will respect the lord? Niwa Nagahide sighed.

"But don't I do the same?" Yoshinobu Yamada asked strangely. He hasn't changed all along, and of course, he still pretends to be in front of people.

"You're different, because you don't have any family drag, no matter how bad your relationship with your lord is, it's just your own business. And we, there are so many people, it is easy to cause some unnecessary trouble......"

"......" Yamada Yoshinobu heard this, and was silent again, and after half a ring, he shook his head and said, "I don't understand ......"

"Uh......" Niwa Nagahide was stunned when he heard this, but then he burst out laughing, "Haha~ It's you!" ”

"Hey, are you laughing at me?" Yoshinobu Yamada turned his head to look at Niwa Nagahide, and his eyes once again radiated a dangerous light.

"Of course not, forget it, it's useless to talk to you about this." Niwa Nagahide shook his head and smiled, and then without waiting for Yamada Yoshinobu to get angry, he said again, "Actually, if the lord really wants to marry Ashi to you, even if you don't have those words or anything, it's okay, although it's a little troublesome." ”

"That'...... Why? ”

"Hehe, because the lord has always wanted a brother, a real brother! And among us, you are the only one who can do it! Niwa Nagahide patted Yoshinobu Yamada on the shoulder, laughed and left.

"Brother?" Yoshinobu Yamada looked at the endless sea in the distance and whispered to himself, "Hmph, boring! ”

When Oda Nobunaga returned to Owari, preparations began for Yoshinobu Yamada's wedding. And Yoshinobu Yamada, who has figured it out, doesn't have an awkward mentality, after all, no matter what, he is the one who takes advantage, so he accepts all this very calmly.

However, compared to his calmness, the entire Oda family was boiling because of this incident. After all, this is not a trivial matter, but the princess of the Oda family, the princess of all the families is going to get married. And the person who married was still the kid Yoshinobu Yamada.

Well, Yamada Yoshinobu's martial arts are very strong, and he does have a lot of credit, if it was the Oda family in the Oda Nobuhide era or the early Oda Nobunaga period, if you get married, you will be married. But now? The Oda family has unified the entire Owari! It's not a concept at all, okay! The former is just a slightly larger wealthy family in Owari Province, while the latter is already one of the Sengoku daimyos.

However, before they could object, Oda Nobunaga held an evaluation and officially announced that Yamada Yoshinobu had changed his name and became the position of Dan Masatada. Well, now it's not a big wave, it's a ****.

It's a pity, even if they oppose it, what can they say? The words given by Ashikaga Yoshiteru, even if they want to oppose it, they don't have the ability. And the position has already been reported to the imperial court, can't they run to let the imperial court take back their fate, right? What's the difference between that and rebellion?

And most importantly, Niwa, Maeda, Sasa, Ikeda, Takigawa, and Mori, all of these families supported Oda Nobunaga's decision. Well, these families have always had a good relationship with Yoshinobu Yamada, and there is little support. But what they didn't understand was that the Shibata, Hayashi, Aoyama, Sakuma and other families did not object.

Suddenly, all sounds were gone. After all, most of the upper echelons of the Oda family all agreed, and they were not qualified to object.

So, the matter was settled, and in an instant, the entire Owari was overwhelmed by the news of the Oda family's father-in-law's marriage.

"Master Ji, it's just a marriage, do you need such fanfare?" Yoshinobu Yamada looked at Oda Nobunaga helplessly, these days, almost everywhere he went, there was a congratulatory voice. Well, you can't ignore the congratulations of others, right? And not only the Oda family, but even the townspeople who walked in the castle town. So these days, Yoshinobu Yamada's face is almost stiff with laughter.

"Haha~ Doesn't this prove that your kid is popular~ When that kid got married, there was no such scene." Oda Nobunaga laughed.

"It's really ......" Yoshinobu Yamada sighed speechlessly, but in his tone, he was still a little proud. Well, this guy who gets carried away easily.

"Okay, don't sigh, don't you just haven't seen you for a few days, as for it?" Oda Nobunaga sneered with an unbearable look.

"What a few days, it's obviously half a month, okay?!" Yoshinobu Yamada said unhappily. In order to prepare for the wedding, and to prevent accidents, after Oda Nobunaga announced the marriage of Yamada Yoshinobu and Aichi, he was secretly taken back. Well, this is also the custom of this era.

"Okay, don't complain, it's the matter of changing your surname, it's okay, right?" Oda Nobunaga said at the end, and his expression became serious.

"Cut, I change it every day, and I don't remember my name now." Yamada Yoshinobu said with an unhappy face, but seeing Oda Nobunaga's serious expression, he had to say helplessly, "Don't worry, Manchiyo has already persuaded me." And I didn't have any problems with it, but it felt weird to suddenly change my name so many times. Yoshinobu Yamada said half-truthfully.

"That's good......" Oda Nobunaga nodded with satisfaction, and then, suddenly changed to a narrow expression and smiled, "Then, call my brother to listen~"

"Get out!"

The wedding is constantly being prepared, and for this matter, the entire Owari family and civilians are particularly attentive. Those families naturally saw the rise of a powerful minister. Especially Maeda Toshimasa, he is happy every day, because he bet on the treasure in advance, and finally he doesn't have to worry about the future of the Maeda family.

And for those civilians, there are not so many ideas. They just think that such a festive thing is very worth joining in.

It's just that for Yamada Yoshinobu, this time was not easy for him, because he was really annoyed by those congratulatory voices, and in the end he simply hid in Nakono Castle and didn't go out. Hawkers,It's just the right time to take this opportunity to compensate the girls.,Hmmm...... According to Yamada Yoshinobu, his money is in Li Huamei's hands, and he can only pay for it.

Well, Yamada Yoshinobu did this, naturally it was not just a simple interest. It's just that in his opinion, there is always something to be owed to the women. After all, in this era, a grand wedding will only be held when the main room is married. And the main room, apparently, there is only one.

Therefore, Li Huamei and Ah Song naturally have no way to enjoy the happiest moment of a woman. As for them, they can't even get the identity of the concubine.

However, to his rejoicing and strange thing, the girls did not seem to be dissatisfied with this, and even discussed with great interest the question of how Yamada Yoshinobu was dressed on the wedding day.

Curious, Yoshinobu Yamada, who would not die if he didn't die, couldn't help but ask Yu Da. Well, he only dared to ask Yu Da.

"Master, isn't this a normal thing? What's so weird? Yu Da looked up at Yamada Nobumura with an inexplicable face, and then buried his head in Yamada Nobumura's crotch and kept moving.

"It's normal...... Yamada Yoshinobu was stunned, and then he reacted, the times are different......
