Chapter Eighty-Three: Masahide Hirate dies

It was the height of summer, and the news came out that made the Oda family even hotter, and Nohime, who had been married into the Oda family for several years, finally became pregnant. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

This is Oda Nobunaga's first child, or was born to the main room, coupled with Nohime's identity, so that when this child was still in the womb, it had already attracted the attention of all the retainers of the Oda family. Because, if this child is a boy, he will not only become the young master of the Oda family, but also the grandson of Saito Michizo!

Well, it seems that the latter seems to be of little use, after all, at this time, Saito Michizo has already lived in seclusion, and the head of the Saito family, Saito Yoshiryu, has been in power for several years, and he is doing a decent job.

But you know, the Saito family and the Oda family are now allies! In this era, what is stronger than the alliance of in-laws is bloodline. Oda Nobunaga's eldest son, inheriting the Oda family, naturally has nothing to say. Both Saito Yoshiryu and Saito Michizo were apparently happy to see their nephews and grandsons inherit the Oda family, in every sense of the word.

At the same time, for the Oda family, in case ~ Saito Yoshiryu-classmate has any accidents, and Saito Michizo loves this grandson very much. Will this child be one of the candidates for Minong's master? Well, at least for the Oda family, this is a very possible thing. Of course, the premise of all this is that Nonghime is pregnant with a son.

As a result, the entire Oda family fell into a carnival of joy and festivity, and it was even more rare for Hirate Masahide to leave the territory where he had lived in seclusion for a long time and came to Cheongshu, and gave Oda Nobunaga a good lesson called "What a man should do when a woman is pregnant". Well, when did this old man come to have such strange knowledge? Is it really because of old age and experience?

It's just a pity that Oda Nobunaga has no interest in this kind of course at all, but it's a pity that he doesn't dare to let go of a fart in the face of the enthusiastic Hirate Masahide. There is no way, the old man is old and weak, he doesn't dare to make him angry anymore. However, in the spirit of brotherhood of blessings and hardships. Oda Nobunaga was stunned and arrested Yamada Masamura to observe.

I don't know how long it took for the lethargic lesson of Masahide to be finished. "Grandpa, you better rest at home......" Looking at Hirate Masahide's slightly tired face after speaking, Oda Nobunaga persuaded worriedly.

Speaking at the time of last year. Hisho Masahide was seriously ill. Tsk, Oda Nobunaga was almost scared to death at that time. Now it's finally better, but as long as he thinks of how desperately ill Masahide Heide looked at that time, he is terrified. And now, the old man is not at home to rest. Ran out again, how not to worry Oda Nobunaga.

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, when I hear the news that Mrs. Nonghime is pregnant, where can I still sit still?!" Hirate Masahide said with a laugh.

"Alas, I just got pregnant, and I don't know if it's a man or a woman......" Oda Nobunaga couldn't help but complain, but before he finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Masahide Hirate.

"Shut up! Don't say that at this time! Hirate Masahide said sharply. Then, as if remembering something. Hurriedly turned his head to Nonghime and said apologetically, "Madam, the old minister didn't mean that, it's just ......"

"Grandpa, the concubine knows, it's okay~" Nonghime said with a chuckle, his hand unconsciously stroking his belly without any changes. At this time, Nonghime can be said to have fallen into the absolute happiness of pregnancy, angry? She didn't even know what it was. And for Hirate Masahide, an old man who really cares for his husband and is his teacher. There was nothing but respect in Nohime's heart.

"That's good~That's good~" Hirate Masahide said with a smile on his face, that look, where is the majestic appearance when he taught Oda Nobunaga. It's just an old dead man waiting for his grandchildren.

Seeing Masahide Hirate's appearance, Oda Nobunaga wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and endured it so hard that it was a hard work. It's just that when the tie Masahide turned around, he sadly found that the tie Masahide in front of him was still that majestic. Open your mouth is an old man with all kinds of precepts.

"My lord! Remember! During this time, you must not make Mrs. Nongji angry! And be sure to give Mrs. Nohime the best food every day! In addition...... "Hirate Masahide pointed at Oda Nobunaga and crackled, hmm...... Is the old man's opening sentence the lord? Really not a bunny? How can it be like training a son?

Seeing Oda Nobunaga shrugging his head in front of Hirate Masahide and obediently being trained, Nohime laughed so much that it was a flower branch trembling. And when the tie Masahide saw this, he worked harder and harder to learn a lesson.

"This old man doesn't think this will make Nong happy by doing this, will he?" Oda Nobunaga thought with a cold face, but he had to listen more obediently. He didn't want Hirate Masahide to find fault with his actions in order to make Nohime happier.

And Yamada Masamura on the side, who was really busy and not afraid of big things, came to Nohime's side and whispered a few words, and began to keep counting Oda Nobunaga's various nos, and Nohime was also very cooperative and let out all kinds of coquettish laughter. Well, not cooperatively, it was really amused.

"Bastard Overlord Maru, wait for a chance to clean you up!" The bitter Oda Nobunaga could only think helplessly.

Finally, Masahide Hirate let Oda Nobunaga go. Then everyone chatted for a long time, of course, mainly because of the tie Masahide, and the others listened. It wasn't until it was almost dark that Hirate Masahide was about to leave under the help of Oda Nobunaga and the others, but as soon as he got up, Hirate Masahide suddenly tilted his body and fell to the ground.

"Hirate-sama!"

"Grandpa!"

Yamada Masamura screamed in surprise and rushed up to hug him, while Oda Nobunaga on the side shouted loudly, "Someone! Come on! Call the doctor! ”

"Okay, don't make a fuss, I've just been sitting for too long and haven't paid attention for a while." Hirate Masahide's laughter came, but his voice sounded weak. Oda Nobunaga and the others hurriedly looked at it, and they were immediately taken aback.

Although Hirate Masahide was still smiling, his weak and powerless appearance really made it hard to believe that this old man had just trained Oda Nobunaga N Jiu. In particular, without the support of Yamada Masamura, he didn't even have the strength to stand up on his own.

Soon, the doctor came over, and after examining Masahide Hirate, he bowed his head and said nothing.

"How? Physician? How's Grandpa's illness?! Oda Nobunaga anxiously grabbed the doctor's shoulder and asked, but the doctor remained silent and did not answer.

Seeing this, Yamada Masamura, who had seen a lot of similar situations on the Internet in later generations, suddenly chuckled in his heart, walked up quickly, grabbed the doctor and walked out.

"Overlord Maru? What are you doing?! When Oda Nobunaga saw this, he wanted to pull the doctor and prevent him from leaving. But he was stopped by Nohime.。

"Nong, you!" Oda Nobunaga turned around and asked just now, and saw Nohime slowly shaking his head. Immediately, he dragged Oda Nobunaga out with him.

Walk outside. When Yamada Masamura saw that Oda Nobunaga had both followed, he said to the doctor, "Okay, doctor, let's just talk about anything." ”

"This ......" The doctor looked at the three of them with some embarrassment, but under the attention of the three of them. Still said slowly, "It's not that Lord Heishou is actually sick, but ......" halfway through his words, the doctor was obviously still hesitating.

"And what?!" Oda Nobunaga asked. Obviously, though, the three of them already had a guess in their minds, although none of them wanted to face it.

"Rather...... It's already time......" The doctor left with these words, and left. In this regard, Oda Nobunaga and the three of them are no longer in the mood to pay attention.

When is the time? Until when? It's time to die. It's just that for this result, Oda Nobunaga was obviously a little difficult to accept, and he was stunned for a while. There was no reaction.

"Yoshi-shi, ......" Nohime stepped forward and hugged Oda Nobunaga from behind, but she didn't know how to comfort her.

"Grandpa, are you leaving?" Oda Nobunaga muttered to himself in a somewhat dejected state.

"Alas, who can live fifty years without dying? Grandpa leaving in this form is not a good thing for those of us who live in troubled times......" Nohime persuaded softly.

"Really? Hehe...... Also right...... In that case, you should be happy! But why am I so uncomfortable? Oda Nobunaga said with tears in his eyes.

"Alas...... Is this going to be the end of the old man's way? It's really ......" Yamada Masamura sighed, and he had nothing but respect for Hisho Masahide. After all. Hirate Masahide not only worked hard for Oda Nobunaga, but also taught himself a lot of knowledge, and can be said to be the enlightenment teacher of his samurai world. Although, this is only what he taught in passing.

"Nong is right!" Then. Hirate Masahide's somewhat weak voice came, and the three of them turned their heads to look, and Hirate Masahide was standing at the door at some point.

"Grandpa! How did you get up? Oda Nobunaga and the three hurriedly ran over to support Hirate Masahide, and said with a worried expression.

"Hehe, I don't want to lie down anymore, I'm afraid I won't have much chance to stand in the future." Hirate Masahide said with a smile. Although he only listened to part of the doctor's words just now, didn't he have such a sentence? No one knows better than himself how much time is left for a man whose time has come.

"Grandpa......" Oda Nobunaga said with a trembling cry, at this point, he could no longer control his tears.

"Yoshibo-shiro, don't cry......" Hirate Masahide said as he helped Oda Nobunaga wipe away his tears and looked at him lovingly.

"In the future, I will be gone, you still have to be a good family governor like now, and lead the Oda family to prosperity."

"Treat them better, but don't be obsessed with women."

"Treat your retainers with grace and might."

“……”

I don't know how long it took for Hirate Masahide to enter the house to rest with the help of Yamada Masamura. Perhaps because Hirate Masahide's life was short, Oda Nobunaga wanted him to live with him so that he could serve at his side at any time. In this regard, Masahide Hirate did not say anything more after opposing twice.

In the next few days, Oda Nobunaga was by the side of Hirate Masahide almost all day, as if to let Hirate Masahide leave with peace of mind, Oda Nobunaga showed his best side, and it seemed that it was completely the posture of a famous master. This action, even if it is pretended, makes Hirate Masahide very happy.

It wasn't long before something shocking happened.

"Lord, the filial son is dead!" Sen Kecheng said in a deep voice.

"What?! What's going on?! Oda Nobunaga looked at Mori Kecheng angrily and asked.

Oda Hidetaka is the eighth son of Oda Nobuhide, and his mother is the same as Oda Nobuyuki, both of whom are Tsuchida Gozen. He has fair skin and a beautiful appearance, and he is a beautiful man like Yamada Masamura.

For this younger brother, Oda Nobunaga is very fond of it, of course, the reason for his shock is how Oda Hidehide died, and now there is no war.

Later, Mori Kesei's explanation made Oda Nobunaga furious, because it was his uncle Oda Shinji's subordinates who killed Oda Hidetaka. And the reason turned out to be because Hidetaka rode by while Oda Shinji was hunting.

"Ridiculous! It's ridiculous! Uncle Shinji is so domineering! Oda Nobunaga roared. Let him come to me! ”

"My lord, Oda Shinji has fled and is missing, and Shoushan Castle is now guarded by his retainers."

"Okay...... Send troops to defend the mountain! I'm going to see what they want to do?! Oda Nobunaga said angrily. Immediately, he walked out of the house.

"Your Highness......" Masaki Hirate's weak voice made Oda Nobunaga stop. After all, Shinji is the brother of the main hall, and he didn't kill people. Also, the rest of the people in Shoushan Castle are innocent......" Hirate Masahide said in a trembling voice. Now, even if he just says a few words, it will take a lot of effort.

"Yoshi-samashi understands! Rest assured! Grandfather! Oda Nobunaga immediately said respectfully. Just now, he did plan to kill all the people in order to avenge his brother. But since Hirate Masahide said so, he had to give up this idea.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that someone would take the lead. When he led his army to Shoushan City, a raging fire was lit outside Shoushan City. And the defenders are busy fighting the fire.

With a not-so-fierce battle, Shoushan Castle submitted. After inquiring, I found out that it was Oda Nobuyuki who had just attacked here.

"That bastard! Such a reckless act! Oda Nobunaga thought angrily. Although there was a reason for the incident, it was obviously difficult for Oda Nobunaga to let go of his own castle without saying such a greeting, and directly sending troops to attack his own castle.

But then, he put this matter aside for the time being, because at this time, nothing can compare to the tie Masatsu.

10 days later, Masahide Hirate passed away with a smile in the company of Oda Nobunaga, Nohime, Yamada Masamura and others at the age of 63. Oda Nobunaga prepared a solemn funeral for him, and had Yoshihiko Sawa, a famous monk from Owari, establish a Masahide Temple for Hirate Masahide in Kogimura, Kasugai County. And Koki Village, Kasugai County, is the fief of Masahide Heite.

By the way, Oda Hidetaka's funeral was also held on this day. Tsk, I don't know if Xiuxiao has a spirit in the sky, will he feel very aggrieved? (To be continued.) )
