Oda Yoshinobu looked at Kiyokeni and had a desire to possess her, and after having this thought, things began to get simpler. Because for useless vassals like Kiyo Eni and Hosokawa Shinyuki, Oda Yoshinobu generally rarely cares what they think.

This is the so-called law of the jungle, and if weak people like Kiyo Eni and Hosokawa Shinyuki want to survive from the hands of the strong, or even survive well, then they must provide what the strong need. Otherwise, why did Oda Yoshinobu keep them? You must know that Oda Yoshinobu is a stingy person, and he hates the kind of guy who wastes food the most, although he himself has always been very extravagant and wasteful. It's a pity that in Oda Yoshinobu's mind, there is no such thing as doing unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Striding back to his position, Oda Yoshinobu looked at Kiyokeni and Hosokawa Mayuki playfully and smiled, "Your name is Hosokawa Mayuki, right?" Well, the governor of the Awa Hosokawa family, and at the same time the guardian of Awa. However, it seems that since the time of the Miyoshi family, he was just a puppet and had no real power. ”

"His Royal Highness Shura is right, the three good traitors did not care about the kindness of their former family to them, and actually did that great rebellious thing. If it weren't for the Oda family, Miyoshi's evil thief didn't know when he would be punished. Hosokawa Shinichi said with a grateful face, as if the Oda family was a messenger of justice for the Hosokawa family.

Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu was about to tease him and ask him if he thought that after the Oda family took Awa, they would return it to him, but heard Hosokawa Shinyuki say again, "I know that I am shallow in my knowledge, and with the current trend of the Oda family dominating the world, I really can't continue to be qualified for the position of Awa's guardian." However, the inheritance left by the ancestors is really reluctant to give up, so I beg His Royal Highness Shura to succeed a son as an adopted son, so that he can inherit the protection of Awa and the country of Awa in the future. ”

"I know that this proposal is very abrupt and presumptuous, but I beg your Highness." Hosokawa Shinyuki bowed down in front of Oda Yoshinobu and said. On the side, Kiyokeni glanced at Shinichi Hosokawa, but he also bowed to the ground, pleading respectfully.

......Seeing the two of them like this, Oda Yoshinobu really didn't know what to say for a while. Well, in his heart, he really doesn't have too many thoughts about Apo guarding something, because in his opinion, this so-called guardianship is simply a useless thing, even if he has a guardianship, does it mean that the country is yours? Obviously not, otherwise Shinyuki Hosokawa wouldn't have been a puppet for so many years.

As for the title, Oda Yoshinobu doesn't care even more, after all, when the Oda family rules the world, whether Oda Nobunaga wants to open it or not is another matter.

Hosokawa Shinyuki's words undoubtedly gave the entire Awa to Oda Yoshinobu. Although Awa was already in the hands of Oda Yoshinobu at this time, with this title, many things would be much easier. It's like in the past, Oda Yoshinobu attacked Ise and passed his son to the Seki, Kobe, Nagano, Kitada and other Ise families.

In this era, if a force rules a place for too long, it is not that the new force cannot replace them, but the road to be taken will be longer and more detouring, which is why many forces like to pass their sons to those forces after expanding their territory. Because in this way, the new forces will rule the local area more smoothly and smoothly, and it will be easier for them to be recognized by the people and local nobles.

Why does Oda Yoshinobu like to prioritize the elimination of the strongest nobles every time he occupies a country? It is to make his own rule over the local area smoother.

After thinking about it, Oda Yoshinobu found that this matter seemed to be earned by himself, and if he paid a child's surname, he could exchange it for Awa's stable rule, and it seemed that he couldn't lose it no matter how he thought about it. However, he did not directly agree, because some procedures still had to be followed.

"After all, this matter is still up to the elder brother, and you, as the guardian of Awa and the descendant of the Hosokawa clan, should also go to Azuchi to pay homage." Oda Yoshinobu said lightly. As he spoke, he glanced at Kiyo Huini, who was still prostrating over there, "The two of you have come all the way from Awa here, and you're tired from thinking about it, so let's rest in Osaka for a day first." ”

"Follow the arrangement of His Highness Shura." Hearing this, Hosokawa Shinyuki replied respectfully.

The next day, Oda Yoshinobu ordered Hosokawa Mayuki to be sent to Azuchi, while Kiyokeini remained in Osaka's inner castle. However, Oda Yoshinobu did not take the opportunity to do anything, because at this time, he was already too lazy to use coercive means. And strictly speaking, he has never forced a woman, basically threatens and seduces, because he really looks down on those men who can't get it, they have no technical content at all, and it is easy for women to have the idea of committing suicide.

During this time, Qing Huini did not do anything, but asked the female god of death in charge of guarding a Buddhist platform, and recited the sutra every day, as if a nun who had already seen through the red dust, or a loving mother who prayed for her children.

Two days later, Hosokawa Shinyuki, who was on his way to Azuchi Castle, returned, and by the way, brought back Oda Nobunaga's attitude towards Hosokawa Shinyuki's request to succeed Oda Yoshinobu to inherit the Hosokawa family, "Do you still need to ask me about such a?" Let's do it yourself, Shikoku is yours anyway. ”

It is said that when he heard Oda Nobunaga's words, Hosokawa Mayuki was directly stunned, he had never seen a family governor so kind to his retainers, or this could no longer be regarded as a favor, and the connivance was almost the same. However, because of this, Hosokawa Shinyuki strengthened his belief in hugging Oda Yoshinobu's thigh.

In the inner city of Osaka, there are many vacant houses for those who live in Osaka temporarily. And Hosokawa Shinyuki's mother and son were arranged in one of the mansions.

"Slut, it's time for you to behave." Hosokawa Shinyuki whispered to Kiyoshi Enigni, although it seems that Oda Yoshinobu did not send someone to spy on them, but Hosokawa Shinyuki has not learned anything else since he became the puppet of Miyoshi Yoshiken, but his cautious and suspicious character has been completely cultivated.

"Hehe, you even brought up your adopted son, will Oda Yoshinobu still not agree?" Qing Huini smiled softly, but his tone was very cold.

"Humph! Can't you see that it's just my expediency? If this is not raised, how can Yoshinobu Oda give me Awa?! Hosokawa snorted coldly, still smiling on the surface.

"Hehe, it's just that when that child grows up, he will naturally inherit the Awa Hosokawa family, and when the time comes, you can only live in seclusion." Qing Huini said disdainfully.

"Yes, so I need your help, as I said before, as long as you help me, then I will naturally help you. Least...... Won't pull your hind legs. Shinyuki Hosokawa said in a deep voice.

Hearing the hind legs, Qing Huini's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, but it was a pity that Hosokawa Mayuki didn't see this scene because of the position he was sitting in, otherwise, he would definitely think about whether to cooperate with this woman.

"I see, but you're going to have to listen to me." Qing Huini said coldly.

Hearing this, Hosokawa Shinyuki chuckled, "That's natural, even if I add up to a hundred, this kind of thing can't compare to you~" Hosokawa Shinyuki looked at Kiyo Huini's bewitching pretty face and smiled, his eyes were full of desire.

The next day, Oda Yoshinobu received an invitation from Masayuki Hosokawa to his residence at dusk.

"Hehe, I thought that kid could really sit still~" Oda Yoshinobu sneered, and then ordered someone to pass the word and agree to the banquet.

When they arrived at the place, after Hosokawa Shinyuki and Oda Yoshinobu were polite, they suddenly bowed down in front of Oda Yoshinobu and asked respectfully, "His Royal Highness Shura, I don't know how you think about the succession?" ”

"Hehe, you didn't ask after you came back, I thought you regretted it~" Oda Yoshinobu chuckled when he heard this, and then looked at Hosokawa Shinyuki and asked playfully, "Of course it's no problem to give you a son, but it's just ...... Among my children, the oldest one who can be adopted is only 6 years old, and even if he is 12 years old, he still has 6 years to go. So in the past 6 years, who should be Apo's acting officer? ”

Hosokawa Shinyuki's careful thoughts, how can he not know? And even if Hosokawa Shinyuki rules Awa, it won't be a big deal for Oda Yoshinobu, after all, under his command, there is no lordship at all, and some are just acting officials. Even if Awa is handed over to Hosokawa Shinyuki, Oda Yoshinobu can guarantee that Hosokawa Shinyuki can't mess around.

As for the acting official, Hosokawa Shinyuki naturally didn't know, in fact, before he came, he had already inquired about the way Oda Yoshinobu ruled the territory, but this was not a problem for him. After all, he didn't have the idea of rebelling against independence, all he wanted was Apo's right to rule.

"His Royal Highness Shura, although he has lived as a puppet since he was a child, he has never given up learning how to govern the country. Maybe it's not as good as the people under His Royal Highness Shura, but the ability to govern the country of Awa is still competent. Shinyuki Hosokawa said in a deep voice.

"And the Hosokawa family has been the leader of Awa for generations, and he has a high prestige in the local area, although it is not worth mentioning for His Highness Shura, but I think that if Apo is governed by His Highness, he can have some time left for His Highness Shura to drink and have fun." Hosokawa Shinyuki bowed down in front of Oda Yoshinobu and said respectfully.

"Hmm......" Oda Yoshinobu replied undeniably when he heard this, as if in deep thought? Seeing this, Hosokawa Shinyuki didn't urge, but immediately asked Oda Yoshinobu a lot about the system in the Oda domain and the things of seventy-seven eighty-eight. It just went back and forth, and it was completely dark.

"Your Highness Shura, if it's getting late today, why don't you just rest here for one night?" Hosokawa Shinyuki looked at Oda Yoshinobu and said respectfully.
