Miyoshi Chokei's death symbolizes the end of an era, but its impact will obviously not end with his adopted son Kuma changing his name to Miyoshi Yoshitsugu and smoothly inheriting the family governor. This is especially true for Ashikaga Yoshiteru.

Although he did not set off firecrackers to celebrate this happy event, but became more low-key, whether it was Matsunaga Shu or Miyoshi Sanko, it was very clear that His Royal Highness the Shogun, who had vowed to revive the shogunate, must be planning something.

However, for forces outside, Miyoshi Nagakei's death obviously did not set off any waves. For example, Yoshinobu Oda, his only reaction when he learned the news was just an "oh". And for the more remote Takeda family, this matter is even less worth mentioning. Or rather, they have something more important to do now.

January 1565.

Since the failure of the strategy of using Hida to attack Echichu last year, Takeda Shingen has not mentioned anything about the Uesugi family in front of his retainers. At the same time, rumors spread that Takeda Shingen wanted to make peace with the Uesugi family and broke the alliance agreement with the Imagawa family. Although this rumor has not been broken since the death of Imagawa Yoshimoto, this time, it is not as usual, and someone soon came forward to clarify, but it has a tendency to become more and more intense.

In fact, in the Takeda family, there are already many retainers who are tired of fighting with the Uesugi family. After all, in this troubled world, hatred, fate, or something will never be a main theme. Most of them only care about immediate interests. Abandoning hostility with the Uesugi family and attacking the weak Imagawa family in favor was obviously a choice that was very much in line with the interests of the Takeda family's retainers.

It's just that there is one person who doesn't think so. He is Takeda Shingen's eldest son, Takeda Yoshinobu.

Speaking of which, this guy Takeda Yoshinobu is quite a talent, he became famous when he was young, and in his first battle, he set off from Xiaozhucheng and went straight to Saku-gun, and even went down to nine cities overnight! This kind of performance is no worse than Takeda Shingen's initial battle.

So for a long time, Takeda Yoshinobu was known as the successor of Takeda Shingen, and was loved and respected by many retainers of the Takeda family.

In the days that followed, Takeda Yoshinobu continued to prove his talent with Wenzhi martial arts, just like Takeda Shingen did in the past. In the fourth battle of Kawanakajima, he fought to the death with the dead Takeda Nobuyoshi, and barely saved the team from the brink of collapse.

From that time on, Takeda Yoshinobu's reputation in the Takeda family was close to that of Takeda Shingen, the family governor.

Uchiyama Castle, the home of Iitomi Torama, Takeda Yoshinobu slowly walked towards Iitomi Torama's mansion, but he looked quite absent-minded, as if he was thinking about something.

"Young master, be careful!" Yoshinobu Takeda, who was awakened by a rough voice, looked up and saw a rockery in front of him. But it was Takeda Yoshinobu who lost his mind and almost hit his head.

"Teacher." Takeda Yoshinobu didn't care about this matter, but turned his head to look at where the voice came from and said respectfully.

"Young master, you're welcome, please inside." Fan Fuhu Chang said respectfully.

Walking into the house, the two exchanged two words, and Takeda Yoshinobu suddenly bowed down in front of Iitomi Huchang. "Please help me, teacher!"

"Young master, you?!" Iitomi Huchang was shocked by Takeda Yoshinobu's actions, but soon, he reacted and asked with a confused expression, "What did the young master say, now that you have the support of many retainers in your family, and the lord is very fond of you, what can the old minister help you?" ”

Hearing this, Takeda Yoshinobu shook his head slowly, and said in a low tone, "The teacher should not pretend to be confused, what is the so-called matter when the disciple comes, how can the teacher not know?" ”

"Young Master ......"

"Teacher, it was you who personally promoted your father to the position of family governor back then, so you should know very well how similar your family is now and back then!" Yoshinobu Takeda said loudly, "If my father is allowed to be so wrong, the Takeda family will be destroyed sooner or later!" ”

"Young Master ......"

"Teacher! Can't you see clearly? The main family and the Uesugi family have been at war for so many years, how can it be possible to make peace? Especially that Uesugi Kenshin always likes to invade other countries under the banner of righteousness, and the main family broke the alliance with the Imagawa family, didn't he take the initiative to send righteousness to the Uesugi family? Yoshinobu Takeda shouted excitedly.

"Look at my father's actions over the years, the reckless military and heavy military service have made the people unbearable. What can I get in exchange? The fiasco of Kawanakajima! For this reason, my uncle, Yamamoto Commander, ......" Takeda Yoshinobu said at the end, and he was already a little unable to cry.

"But young master, in this way, the family ......" Iitomi Huchang wanted to say something more to dissuade Takeda Yoshinobu, but when he saw Takeda Yoshinobu's determined eyes, he closed his mouth. Because he understood that at this time, Takeda Yoshinobu had already made up his mind, and it was not something that an old man like him could easily change.

Thinking of this, his expression became dark, once upon a time, he was one of the three important ministers of the Takeda family, and when the Takeda family was in danger, he exiled the family governor with Itagaki Nobukata and Ganli Hutai, and brought the Takeda family back on the right track. At that time, he hardly had any hesitation about banishing Takeda Shintora, but now?

In the face of Takeda Yoshinobu's request, the first thing that came to Iitomi Huchang's mind was not whether this would be beneficial or disadvantageous to the Takeda family, but that doing so would cause civil strife in the Takeda family. Even a little thought of the impact of Takeda Yoshinobu's rebellion, and he shuddered a little. "Well, it looks like he's really old...... It turns out that the heart of the brave and fearless samurai seems to be left at all. Fan Fu Huchang thought with a wry smile.

It's just that his expression, in the eyes of Takeda Yoshinobu, is unable to make up his mind to support himself, so he hurriedly persuaded again. "Teacher! Don't hesitate, my father is already old! Not as wise and wise as before. Let's take a look at the results of the first two wars with the Uesugi family, which directly caused many retainers in the family to completely lose confidence in their father......

"And, teacher, have you thought about it? Even if the Honke family breaks the alliance with the Imagawa family, the Uesugi family will not take the opportunity to attack the Honka. But what about the Hojo family? Their hatred for their own family is no less at all! Will they help the family? Yoshinobu Takeda kept asking.

"Besides, even if we take the Imagawa family, then we will face the Oda family, which has unified the three kingdoms of Mino, Owari, and Mikawa! And it's to face Oda and the Hojo family at the same time! If the Uesugi family comes to attack the main family again......" Takeda Yoshinobu finished speaking, and his tone suddenly softened.

"Teacher, the disciple also knows your feelings for your father, after all, he is the one who helped you to the position of family governor. But how could a disciple, as the eldest son of his father, not be heartbroken? But for the sake of the survival of his family, the disciple really can't let his father embark on this road of no return! Yoshinobu Takeda cried and fell down in front of Iitomi Huchang again, "Teacher! Help the disciples! ”

Silent, Iitomi Huchang just sat there silently, and Takeda Yoshinobu also bowed in front of him motionless. After a long time, Fan Fu Huchang sighed, "Alas, young master, get up......"

"Thank you, teacher!" Takeda Yoshinobu said immediately when he heard this.

"Alas...... Perhaps, this is retribution......" Iitomi Humasa didn't pay attention to Takeda Yoshinobu, just sighed alone over there.

In this regard, Takeda Yoshinobu did not say anything more, because he knew very well that since Iitomi Huchang said such a thing, it meant that the most senior retainer of the Takeda family was already on his side. So he just bowed to Fan Fu Huchang again, and then left quickly. Although Iitomi was his teacher, Takeda Yoshinobu knew very well that if he stayed too long, it would be difficult to guarantee that his father would not be suspicious.

It's just that neither Takeda Yoshinobu nor Iitomi Huchang, who was in pain, didn't notice that in a hidden corner not far away, a man in his 20s was standing there with a cloudy face.

That night, the Akizaki Museum.

"Changjing, what's the important thing to report?" Takeda Shingen asked impatiently. At this time, Takeda Shingen was already ready to fall asleep, but was told by the surname that Iitomi Masakai had an urgent matter that needed to be reported.

Originally, Takeda Shingen didn't want to see him, although Iitomi Masakin had been his close attendant before, but after he was promoted to a general because of his merits, Takeda Shingen had almost forgotten him. Hawkers, this can't be blamed on him, after all, in today's Takeda family, there are too many capable generals, and among these people, Iitomi Changjing is not conspicuous at all.

It's just that in the face of Takeda Shingen's questioning, Iitomi Masashi didn't answer, but directly bowed down in front of him and said anxiously, "Lord, something is wrong!" When my subordinates went to visit my brother today, I happened to hear the conversation between the young master and the elder brother. They ......"

"Righteous faith? What did he say to Huchang?! Takeda Shingen stood up abruptly, staring at Iitomi Masakai with a majestic look in his eyes.

"They...... They are ready to banish you, my lord! Iitomi Changjing cried.

Quiet, dead silence, Takeda Shingen just stood there, and after a long time, he sighed faintly, "It's time to come...... It's still here after all......" (To be continued.) )
