Chapter 115: Iwakura Civil Strife
The four counties of Owari have been controlled by Oda Nobuyashi in the era of Oda Nobuhide, the governor of the Iwakura Oda family, and when Oda Nobuhide was alive, because Oda Nobuyan married Oda Nobuhide's sister Akizuki-in, the relationship between the two families can be described as very close. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info And because Oda Nobuyan and Oda Nobunaga both like ape music, the relationship between the two is also quite good.
During that period of time, it can be described as the honeymoon period of the two families, and the offense and defense helped each other, and the cooperation was quite pleasant. It's just that...... With the death of Oda Nobuhide, the relationship began to fade.
First of all, Oda Nobunaga married his sister Inu to Oda Nobukiyo, which made Oda Nobuyan very unhappy. The reason is also very simple, he and Oda Nobukiyo of Inuyama Castle have been in trouble for a long time because of territorial conflicts.
And then, after Saito Michizo continued to help Oda Nobunaga grow his power, Oda Nobuyan became even more estranged from Oda Nobunaga. This is also normal, in this troubled world, it is definitely not a good thing for neighbors to be too strong. Even if the relationship between the two families is good, they will become wary.
In the end, when Oda Nobunaga eliminated the Oda family in Kiyoshu, Oda Nobuyan and Oda Nobunaga were completely opposed. Because Oda Nobuyasu knew very well that sooner or later, Oda Nobunaga would occupy the four prefectures. Although there has not been any dispute with the Iwakura Oda family since Oda Nobunaga succeeded to the family governor, Oda Nobuyasu will not take it lightly.
It's just that for a while, he didn't bother to pay attention to the affairs of the Oda family, because there was a problem on his own side. Well, it's easy to say, he has two sons, the eldest son Xinxian and the second son Xinjia. Of the two sons, Oda Nobuyasu favored the second son, Nobuya, even more.
Hawkers, maybe he didn't see anything from the fact that Oda Nobuhide was standing Oda Nobunaga instead of Oda Nobuyuki, so he didn't think much about it, and he didn't even hide it much. In his opinion, who he wants to appoint as his heir is not up to him? Who dares to have doubts?
It's just a pity that a lot of things in the world. Obviously, he can't take it seriously if he thinks about it, at least his son Oda Nobuken doesn't want his younger brother to become the governor of the house.
Thus, the struggle began, with Oda Nobuken as the young master. Naturally, there was a group of retainers under him to support him. Every day, this group of retainers kept writing in Oda Nobuyasu's ears, persuading him to give up the idea of changing the young master.
In this regard, the Oda Nobu family naturally stopped doing it, perhaps he did not have the idea of competing with his brother for the governor of the family before. But with Oda Shinyasu's support, it's clear that all of this is very different. At the same time, because he was the candidate supported by Oda Nobuyasu, those retainers who supported Oda Nobuyasu naturally supported him.
As a result, the two factions stirred up the entire upper four prefectures, which made Oda Nobuyasu very angry, but he was also very distressed. After all, he is not a ruthless person, otherwise he only needs to exile Xinxian, and all the turmoil will be over.
But then again. If this were the case, the question of inheritance would not have bothered most families in this era. After all, I don't dare to say anything, the palms and backs of my hands are full of meat.
As a result, the contradictions of the Iwakura Oda family continue to expand, and the two families next to it are also silently preparing.
Inabayama Castle Castle Tower.
Toki Yoshiryu was reading the book of soldiers in his study, and since he put down Mino's civil strife, he had spent most of his free time studying here. And the result of this is to make the original irascible character of the Earth Ambiguity Dragon slowly become calm and encounter any problems. It is not like the previous moment to prepare for a solution by force.
This kind of change naturally made Ando Mamoru and other important ministers very pleased, after all, from ancient times to the present, a reckless man with no force has never been a qualified lord.
"My lord." A soft call came.
"Come in." The Earth Ambiguity Dragon put down the book and said casually.
The person who came in was Mamoru Ando. At this time, he was already one of the highest-ranking retainers of the Toki family.
"Hold on, what's the matter?" Usually if there is nothing important, no one will disturb him while he is reading. Well, speaking of which. This is also the case with Michizo Saito.
"My lord, according to the ninja's return, the Iwakura Oda family's question about the heir, the contradiction has become bigger and bigger." Mamoru Ando whispered.
"Oh?" The earth ambiguity dragon sighed lightly, and then fell into thought, and Ando Mamoru didn't bother, just sat quietly and waited.
After a long time, the earth ambiguous dragon raised his head and said slowly, "Send someone to contact Oda Nobuyoru and tell him that if he can become the master of Iwakura Castle, then I am willing to marry him." ”
"Yes!" Mamoru Ando replied respectfully, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes. For him personally, this method of being able to expand his power without any loss is what he likes the most. And now that the Earth Ambiguity Dragon can have this kind of transformation, he is really very pleased.
After Mamoru Ando left, the dragon slowly stood up and walked to the window, "Pit viper, look at it, I will definitely inherit your dream and take over the world!" The ambiguous dragon said faintly.
On the other side, almost at the same time as the Tsuchiki Dragon, Oda Nobunaga received information about the Iwakura Oda family. However, unlike the earth ambiguity dragon, Oda Nobunaga is no longer familiar with this matter, and the reason is very simple, the fight between the two brothers of the Iwakura Oda family has been secretly fueling the flames.
Kiyoshu Castle, the residence of Oda Nobunaga.
"Haha! Overlord Maru, look! The Iwakura Oda family is finally in trouble, and looking at this movement, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to be suppressed. Oda Nobunaga laughed.
"Alas......" Yamada Masamura looked at Oda Nobunaga with an excited face, sighed helplessly, picked up the wine jug on the side and poured it into his mouth.
"Hey, Overlord Maru, why aren't you kid excited?! Don't you know that this is a great opportunity for the family to seize the Iwakura Oda family! Oda Nobunaga was obviously dissatisfied with Yamada Masamura's calmness, and in his opinion, Yamada Masamura should be like him, dancing with excitement half to death.
Hearing this, Yamada Masamura glanced at Oda Nobunaga and said helplessly, "Master Kichibo, I said that you called me from Nakono Castle for such a trivial matter?" ”
"A trifle?! How can this be a trifle?! Hearing Yamada Masamura's words, Oda Nobunaga was immediately upset. It's clear that you care about things very much, but others don't care about them at all, how can you endure this kind of thing?
It's a pity, where does Yamada Masamura care if Oda Nobunaga is cool or not? He only cares if he's cool or not. "Alright, that's all. Don't bother me in the future. What is the Iwakura Oda family? It can be extinguished in minutes. Yamada Masamura pursed his lips and said with a dragon arrogant look, and then walked to the back room with the wine jug.
"I'll go, and I'll be extinguished in minutes? Who do you think you are?! Oda Nobunaga said disdainfully. saw that Yamada Masamura didn't pay attention to himself at all, "Hey, where are you kid going?" It's a house! Seeing this, Oda Nobunaga hurriedly shouted.
"Cut, of course it's to go see Xiao Xina and Nong, it's better than facing your stupid face, right?" Yamada Masamura laughed mockingly. After saying that, he ignored Oda Nobunaga and walked directly into the back room.
"Nima, the stinky boy is so reasonable?!" When Oda Nobunaga heard this, his nose was almost crooked, why didn't he know that this kid Yamada Masamura was so badly beaten? Well, he knew it before, but unfortunately he couldn't beat it.
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a sudden sound of laughter in the back room, and it was Nohime's voice. "I really don't know why Ah Nong likes Overlord Maru so much, for Ah Dog them. This woman doesn't have that kind of attitude......" Oda Nobunaga thought inexplicably. Immediately, he could not sit still.
Hawkers, his wife is alone with his brother, and his wife is constantly teased by his brother...... Moreover, thinking of Yamada Masamura's various anecdotes, where can Oda Nobunaga still sit down? I saw that he rushed to the inner room at once, and at the same time shouted in his mouth, "Death Overlord Pill, don't beat my daughter's idea!" ”
Belch...... Is there something wrong?
Iwakura Castle castle town, Oda Nobuyo's residence.
"Your Excellency. Someone outside the door asked to see him," a young man said respectfully at the door.
"Who is it?" Oda Nobuken asked a little listlessly. For some time, he had been fighting with his younger brother, the Shin family. Although he had the support of many retainers, behind the Nobu family stood Oda Nobuyasu. It gave him a headache and tiredness. The so-called fight with the sky, the fight with the earth, and the fight with people. Fun. This kind of talk...... Well, it's only those who are idle and have a pain in the egg who say it.
"He didn't say it, he just said that he had brought a gift to the adults." The little surname said respectfully.
"Gifts? Could it be that the people on the other side of the letter are ready to take refuge in me? Oda Nobuken instantly thought of such a possibility, it seems that during this time, there is nothing else on his mind except to compete for the governor.
"Ask him to come in." Oda Nobuken said, and at the same time straightened his appearance. Hm. If it's as you guessed, there's nothing wrong with it.
It's just a pity that when the person who came was brought over by the small surname, Oda Nobuken was immediately disappointed, because the other party was not a retainer of the family at all. But after all, the people have already been brought, so it's not good to blast them out directly. "Who are you? What are you looking for me? Oda Nobuyoshi asked lazily, he didn't bother to pretend to be this kind of person who couldn't help him.
"It's the retainer of the Toki family, Ando Mori, who came this time to give a big gift to Lord Shingen......," the visitor said with a chuckle, and it turned out to be Ando Mamoru who came in person.
"What?!" Hearing this, Oda Nobuken stood up suddenly. Staring at Mamoru Ando, he looked at it for a while, and suddenly shouted loudly, "Pass my order, no one is allowed to go close to the room for 10 meters!" ”
"Yes!"
After a while, when everyone had retreated, Oda Nobuyoshi sat down and nodded to Mamoru Ando, "I didn't expect Lord Ando to come here, please forgive me for being slack." When Oda Nobuyoshi said this, his tone was very respectful.
Although he is the current young lord of the Iwakura Oda family, Mamoru Ando is just one of the important ministers of the Toki family. In terms of status, he seems to be a little higher than Mamoru Ando, but if you compare the strength of the two sides...... Obviously, Oda Nobuken is still very self-aware.
"Lord Nobuxian is polite~" Mamoru Ando didn't care about Oda Nobuyen's tone before, and said with a chuckle.
After the two complimented each other for a while, Oda Nobuken couldn't help it, "Ando-sama, I wonder what is the matter with your coming here this time?" If you can help in the following, please feel free to say. Oda Nobuken asked in a deep voice.
"Hehe~ Lord Nobuxian is really fast-talking, since that's the case, I'll just say it directly~" Mamoru Ando laughed and told Oda Nobuyoru about Oda Nobuxian's proposal.
"This ......" After hearing this, Oda Nobuken said that if he was not moved, it would be absolutely impossible. You must know that the Earth Ambiguity Dragon is now Mino's master, and if he can support himself in this battle for the family governor, even if it is just a little bit of rumors, it will be enough to greatly increase his chances of victory.
It's just that the request of the earth ambiguity dragon made Oda Nobuken a little embarrassed. What does it mean to marry after becoming a governor? This is an unclear way to tell Oda Nobuken that if you don't become the governor of the house, then everything is just empty talk?
But now Oda Nobuyoshi does not have an advantage in competing for the governor, so it seems that he has only one way to go, and that is ...... Conspiracy. And this is the reason why Oda Nobuxian hesitates, after all, not everyone can betray their father so domineeringly.
Seeing Oda Nobuyo's contemplative expression, Ando Mamoru hurriedly persuaded him, "Lord Nobuyen, you should know that His Royal Highness Nobuyan is determined to let the Nobuyan family ascend to the throne, otherwise, with your reputation as a young master for many years, how can the Nobuyan family win over you?" ”
"Humph!" Hearing the sore spot in his heart, Oda Nobuken couldn't help but snort coldly. To be honest, he was really dissatisfied with his father helping his younger brother so much. However, because of the majesty of Oda Nobuyasu for many years, he did not have any thoughts of rebellion.
"Lord Shin-hyun, you hesitate because you have scruples. But you have to understand that if the believer becomes a governor, will he do something to you? Will His Highness Shin'an help you at that time? Ando's words made Oda Nobuyo's face become more and more gloomy.
Seeing this, Mamoru Ando understood that it was almost over, so he got up and prepared to leave, and before leaving, Mamoru Ando said in a low voice, "Lord Shingen, your situation was also encountered by the head of the family at the beginning. If he hadn't reacted in time, how could he have the entire Mino now? You...... But think about it! ”
After Mamoru Ando finished speaking, he left directly, leaving Oda Nobuken with a pensive face.
That night, Oda Nobuyoshi rallied his retainers to support him and launched an armed rebellion. The unsuspecting Oda Nobuyasu and his son were unable to resist the sudden attack and abandoned the city at night and fled. (To be continued.) )
