Speaking of which, since Oda Nobutada was a little sensible, he began to target his sister Oda Shinna as a competition, although it sounds strange that a boy and a girl have nothing to compete with. But in the eyes of Oda Nobutada, this is not the case, because the talent shown by Oda Shinna really makes him feel very stressed.

Oda Shinna has shown a super talent in martial arts, government affairs, military command, strategy, etiquette and even the tea ceremony, which is admired not only by Oda Yoshinobu, but also by Oda Nobunaga and many retainers. And this situation made Oda Nobutada have to work hard to cultivate and work hard to do any task assigned by Oda Nobunaga.

No, even if it's a task that Oda Nobunaga didn't explain, he will try to do it well. Because he wants everyone to know that he is stronger than Oda Shinna, and he is the best choice for the governor of the Oda family!

It is true that Oda Shinna, as a woman, seems unlikely to become the heir to the family governor, no matter how she thinks about it. And Oda Nobutada, who is the eldest son, although he seems to be a little worse than Oda Shinna, is also very good and has not made any mistakes. No matter how you look at it, the future Oda family can only be inherited by Oda Nobutada.

And after Oda Nobuna married Oda Yoshinobu, the last possibility of Oda Shinna threatening Oda Nobutada also disappeared. According to common sense, Oda Nobutada should be relieved and wait for Oda Nobunaga to hand over the governor to him.

It's just that...... Oda Nobutada couldn't put his mind at ease, and the reason was very simple, Oda Nobunaga didn't seem to have any intention of appointing himself as the young head of the Oda family, and when Lin Xiuzhen and others proposed because of this, they were also sent away by Oda Nobunaga at will.

Strictly speaking, Oda Nobunaga's actions were obviously unreasonable, how could a family not be sure of the heirs? Although it is unlikely, if something happens, and there is no heir, who should sit in the position of governor?

It's a pity that Oda Nobunaga never explained to others, and others, including Oda Nobutada, didn't dare to ask directly. After all, Oda Nobunaga said quite majestically except in front of Oda Yoshinobu at the rest of the time.

And as Oda Nobutada gets older, there are more and more worries about this, and in addition to the position of family governor, Oda Nobutada also has a deep worry, that is, what Oda Nobunaga wants to do.

In the past, Oda Nobutada always thought that after the unification of the world, Oda Nobunaga would open the house, and then as the eldest son, he would become the governor of the Oda family, and inherit the position of shogun after Oda Nobunaga's death. But with Oda Nobunaga's refusal to open again and again, this doubt surfaced more and more often in Oda Nobutada's mind. He didn't know what Oda Nobunaga wanted to do, but he had a gut feeling that Oda Nobunaga was planning something very extraordinary.

"Lord!" A voice came from outside the door, calling Oda Nobutada back from his deep thoughts.

"It's a true faith, how is the investigation?" Oda Nobutada turned to look at the man kneeling outside the door and asked lightly. This man's name was Honda Masanobu, who was originally a ronin who later became a retainer of Oda Nobutada on the recommendation of a monk in Mino.

Speaking of which, Oda Nobutada is very different from his father Oda Nobunaga in many places, the most obvious is that Oda Nobunaga's attitude towards religion is that he does not believe in religion, but he is not against religion to preach, as long as it does not cross the boundaries he set. Oda Nobutada, on the other hand, was a devout Buddhist, who had dealings with many eminent monks, and was a frequent visitor to Mt. Hiei Enryakuji Temple.

"Back to the lord, I don't have any clue at all. What those people said was too vague, although there is a family tree, but there is a difference of nearly 2,000 years between the current Qi Kanggong......" Honda Masanobu replied in a deep voice.

"Hmm......" Hearing this, Oda Nobutada nodded, he didn't react much to what Honda Masanobu said, in fact, he didn't have any hope for this matter at all. After all, it's almost 2,000 years away, where to find their descendants?

You must know that in this era, it is very difficult to study ancestors, and most of them can only be checked through the genealogy they have, and after finding the first person, they can find the origin of this person. For example, the Oda clan, although they claim to be descendants of the Fujiwara clan from generation to generation, they can't produce much evidence. After all, after so many years, many things have long been destroyed in the flames of war.

"What's going on at the court?" Oda Nobutada asked again.

"Back to the lord, according to the inquiries of his subordinates, it seems that the imperial court intends to let His Highness choose Guan Bai, the Minister of Taizheng and the General Zhengyi." Honda Masanobu said in a deep voice. "I think it won't be long before the imperial court will choose to make concessions, and then His Royal Highness will be able to serve as both Guan Bai and Zhengyi generals, becoming the real first person in the world!"

Honda Masanobu said that it was no secret, in fact, after Oda Nobunaga repeatedly refused to open the house, many people speculated that Oda Nobunaga's intention was to serve as both the shogun of Seiyi and Sekihaku. And for this statement, Oda Nobunaga has never denied it.

"Do you think so?" Hearing Honda Masanobu's words, Oda Nobutada turned his head to look at Honda Masanobu and asked with a somewhat strange expression.

"Yes, other than that, my subordinates really can't think of any other purpose for His Highness to keep refusing to open." Honda replied respectfully.

"yes, what other purpose could there be?" Oda Nobutada muttered. It seemed that there was only one possibility, but Oda Nobutada always felt that things were not so simple. Because in his opinion, if Oda Nobunaga really wants to serve as the general of Guanbai and Zhengyi, he can directly mention it to the imperial court. With the power of the Oda family now, does the imperial court dare not agree?

"Also, the unknown master of Enryakuji Temple hopes that you will visit Mt. Hiei in the near future." Honda Masanobu said again.

"yes, got it." Oda Nobutada nodded and said no more, seeing this, Honda Masanobu bowed and quietly retreated.

A few days later, something happened that no one expected, Konoe went to Azuchi Castle in the hope that Oda Nobunaga could choose from the positions of Sekihaku, Taisei Minister, and Shogun Seiyi, but Oda Nobunaga not only refused, but also directly stated to the imperial court that he would resign from the position of Right Minister.

In an instant, the whole world shook, and everyone's attention was focused on Kyoto and Azuchi Castle in, and they had only one thought, which was to find out what Oda Nobunaga wanted!
