"Oh......" Kazutoyo Yamauchi was stunned by my question, and he was a little overwhelmed by such a straightforward question. In all respects, he is a cautious and polite person, and he is a little forward-looking, and he can't accept the overly decisive and straightforward way.

"If you don't think it's okay to say it, then I'll just say it! What does His Highness Yuchai want me to do? Seeing his embarrassed appearance, I smiled slightly, and said to him indifferently: "You don't have any worries, it is okay for you or His Highness Yuchai to do this." At such a critical moment as the Oda family, everyone will have their own perceptions and choices, and there is nothing wrong with wanting to work in the direction that they think is right. You can explain your point of view to me, and I can agree or disagree, but at least I don't think this kind of openness should be a contradiction between us! ”

"Actually...... In fact, it can't be said that it is completely the meaning of His Royal Highness Yuchai, the key is still me! Yamauchi's facial muscles relaxed, and he even smiled reluctantly. It was all the incompetence of those of us who assisted the young master, who failed to protect the young master after the lord was martyred, causing him to also be victimized by traitors. If it was someone who still had some shame, he might have followed the young master to the ground by disembowelment......"

"Lord Yamauchi, don't say that, I know how much about the young master!" Seeing that his sadness was not artificial, I also persuaded: "As a martial artist, it is normal to die under the sword, although the young master was plotted, but he also died in battle, which can be regarded as a providential element." Moreover, the enemy is cunning and vicious, and he designs to kill every step of the way, and it is reasonable for him to be unprepared suddenly. And I know that you were in Qibu at the time, and no one can blame you for this! ”

"But I can't avoid self-blame in my own heart!" He raised his right hand and clenched his fist and struck twice on the heart of his left chest. "When the bad news of the young master just came, we were really panicked, at that time, there were less than two thousand soldiers and horses in the entire Qibu City, and once the situation happened, the consequences would be unimaginable. At that time, rumors were flying all over the sky, and there were still people ......"

"Some people say that I have rebelled and plan to establish myself as the master, right?" I gently twisted my mustache and looked at him with a playful eye.

"Oh! …… Yes! Hearing this, his body trembled slightly, but quickly stabilized. Not only that, but this kind of rumor is quite popular, and there are many people who are skeptical. But I absolutely don't believe this kind of thing, and it is absolutely impossible for your Highness the Stars to do such a thing! ”

"In the end, it was a brother who was born and died back then!" I couldn't help but feel a little emotional, but it didn't seem to be all because of his trust in me. As for what it was for, it seems that I can't say it myself.

"Later, the dust finally settled, but fortunately you stopped this catastrophe! I should have visited you a long time ago, but...... But ...... "He couldn't go on here, but he couldn't come up with a reason for a long time, as if this reason was very unspeakable."

I didn't rush him, just smiled and waited slowly. He wasn't trying to phrase it for some reason, he just didn't know how to translate the compliment to me into what he really wanted to say. But I don't know if my gaze has put some pressure on him, and his stuttering is getting worse and worse.

"Someone!" I shouted at the door, and someone pulled it open from the outside. "Go get a cup of tea for Yamauchi-sama!" I commanded.

"Thank you!" Kazutoyo Yamauchi nodded gratefully.

The tea was quickly replaced, and the aroma of the freshly brewed tea was overflowing. In fact, his original quilt was also good tea, the same hot, and it didn't have much time to brew. But the new cup of tea seemed to be more liked by Yamauchi Kazutoyo, and he lowered his head and tasted it in small sips, as if it was really a cup of elixir and jade dew, and he had reached the realm of Qianli Xiu. I didn't want to wait any longer, it wasn't dawn yet.

"Is His Royal Highness the Third Mage alright?" I whispered with my cup in my hand.

"Oh...... Well, he misses you very much! "It's impossible for a three-year-old child to care about someone he barely knows, Yamauchi Kazutoyo just replied instinctively, but he immediately realized the inappropriateness of his words, so he hurriedly pulled the words into the circle again." His Royal Highness Zhuxing raised troops to fight against the rebellion, and avenged the revenge of his father and ancestors for two generations for His Royal Highness the Three Masters, and the merit was in the community, but this grace was ......"

"Raising troops to quell the rebellion is both righteousness and duty, and I dare not say it!" After expressing my attitude solemnly, I let out a long sigh and said with some sadness: "After the lord was born, the young master was martyred, and the Oda family, which was originally prestigious, was also traumatized, which is really unpredictable. I am also a father, and now I have a deep understanding of the situation of His Royal Highness the Third Master, I don't know how it is now? ”

"If His Highness Zhuxing can have such a will, we will be relieved, if it weren't for the fact that His Royal Highness the Third Mage is too young to do it, he will definitely come to visit in person!" Yamauchi Kazutoyo seemed to let out a long breath, and his expression was a lot more relaxed. "His Royal Highness the Third Master is still in Qibu at the moment, but he will come to Cheongju soon. As the bloodline of the Oda family, it is natural that he should inherit the legal system of the Oda family. It's hateful that some people are now plotting there for their own ulterior purposes. A few of our retainers who guarded His Royal Highness the Third Mage discussed with His Royal Highness Yu Chai......"

"Oh......" came a heavy, low sound from my throat, like the low roar of a beast of prey. The gaze that withdrew from him fell on the teacup in front of him, and the heavy heat just now had faded a lot.

Many tiny beads of sweat instantly appeared on Yamauchi Kazutoyo's forehead, forming a shiny patch under the reflection of the light. Nowadays, the contradictions between the giants have long been no secret, and even when the war will start has become a matter of prediction for some people.

"His Royal Highness Yuchai...... Yuchai ...... We unanimously agreed: The one who can do justice for His Royal Highness the Third Master now must be Your Highness Zhuxing! "He finally turned the corner, but he was also held back quite hard." His Royal Highness is highly respected among the Oda retainers, and the most rare thing is that he is eager for justice and righteousness regardless of selfish interests. How many times have you taken the initiative to focus on the overall situation, and this time you will inevitably speak up for the authentic legal system of the Oda family! With that, he stared straight at me.

"Hmm......" I lowered my eyelids and didn't look at him, and it took a long time for a long sound to come out of my nose. Follow the ancient system: inheritance is naturally the eldest son, and if the eldest son is absent, it will be pushed to the eldest grandson. Moreover, this time the Oda family was the first lord to die, and the young lord of Nobuta was killed, according to the tradition of 'the country cannot be without a king for a day', the young lord of Nobuta has in fact succeeded to the throne, and what is missing is only a ceremony. And then deduced that His Royal Highness the Third Mage is naturally the natural family governor, but ...... "I know that his emotions have eased a little, and the last thing he wants to hear at the moment is this" but", but I still have to say it in front. "At the moment, the Oda family is in a delicate period, and the upper can reach the ninefold and the lower will fall into the Yellow Spring forever. So in a sense, it is the best policy to set up a family governor who has a certain prestige and has matured! ”

"Your Highness!" Yamauchi Kazutomi exclaimed tears in his eyes, got up and came to me and knelt down with a grunt. "You must not say that, you still have to keep the orthodox bloodline of the Oda family. If the name is not right, it will not be good, and if it is not good, it will not be done! Please look at the ...... of the Lord on the day."

"You don't want to be like this, if you have something to say, get up first and then talk about it!" I hurriedly pulled him up and sat down beside him, and said earnestly: "Although there is some truth in what you said, I am afraid that it is more out of feelings. I'm not afraid to say something to you, and some people propose that His Royal Highness Nobuxiao will be the future governor! ”

"Who?!" Kazutomi Yamauchi asked sensitively.

"You don't have to ask who it is, but I don't think it's completely unreasonable!" I stopped what he was trying to defend and said, "It is not easy for the lord to create this foundation, and there is not only hard work in it, but also blood and tears. But in the current situation, if His Royal Highness the Third Master is allowed to inherit the throne, it will be a situation where the monarch is light and the minister is heavy, is this really conducive to the prosperity of the Oda family? I prefer to make His Royal Highness Nobu Xiao the acting governor, and I will officially succeed His Royal Highness the Third Master when he reaches adulthood. From the perspective of all aspects of the relationship, this is the safest way! ”

"Do you think this position has been handed over, and it is possible that it will be returned?" Yamauchi Kazutoyo's voice trembled obviously, which showed how excited he was at this time. "Xinxiao is from a humble background, narrow-minded and talentless. Once he becomes the governor of the Oda family, he will definitely be desperate to eliminate dissidents, and even poison His Royal Highness the Three Mages in order to hold the power forever. There will be a bloody storm within the Oda family, do you really want to see such a situation happen? ”

"You have a certain point...... "My eyes were straight and I fell into a "confused" feeling. "But...... But can you guarantee that His Royal Highness the Third Master will not be set aside, held hostage, or used by people with ulterior motives in the future? ”

"I ...... I promise! A wisp of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and his chest was rising and falling violently. As long as I have three inches of air, I can't ......."

"Needless to say, I promise you!" I stopped him before he could say something unturnable, and let out a long sigh. "I hope you are not wrong, and once you are wrong, there is no way to get back. If His Royal Highness the Third Mage takes a step back now, there will still be a chance to ascend to the throne in the future, and once it is lost in the future, it can no longer be reversed, and no one can change it! ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Kazutomi Yamauchi slammed his head to the ground, tears sticking to the floor.

********************************************

Kazutoyo Yamauchi left excitedly but satisfied, and I watched him walk out without a word. He is a sincere person, but a sincere person may not be able to do things well, the Oda family is finished, although he is still on the stage, there is already a door in front of him.

"Lord!" Sakurai Sakichi came to me gently. "I can't report that Lord Yamauchi is here just now, but Lord Kanamori is here too!"
