My idea was quickly validated.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, 5,000 members of the Takata family arrived at Dajiang Village, but they were blocked by our side and failed to enter the main battlefield. That night, taking advantage of the fact that Takada's family had come from afar and was on guard, we launched a surprise attack at night to disperse this combined army of the people, and Wasuka Masatsu defeated the general Takada for the country.

The next day, and after hearing the news of Takata's death for the country, the Koo family retreated first, and the Kitabatake family then withdrew their troops, and the Furuichi and Shishi families as the main formation saw that the situation was not good, so they had to give up the strategy, and on the way back, they were pursued by Akechi Mitsuhide's tail, and suffered heavy losses.

History deviated here, and the Tsutsui family defeated the Ten City family and the Kochi family after this battle, and maintained their position in the Ichijoin Temple and Kofukuji Temple. Correspondingly, General Yoshiki's prestige has also risen a bit.

Then Akechi Mitsuhide came to me again, this time for a very formal meeting. In my main account, he directly conveyed to me the words of General Yoshiki: "The Gongfang Palace hopes that His Royal Highness Kira will come to Beijing to meet him, and he will encourage his allegiance and great merit this time." ”

"Your Highness Wise, isn't this appropriate," I shook my head, "This time I came to support, but it was an order from His Highness, and there was no allegiance, and the encouragement of His Royal Highness really can't afford it...... Moreover, he was a retainer of the Oda family, and if he did not have the order of His Royal Highness, he would not have the position to enter Beijing to meet the Gongkata Palace. ”

"His Royal Highness Kira is too humble, and the Gongfang Palace has always valued His Highness Kira very much," Akechi Mitsuhide smiled, "If it was the day before yesterday, I would have some concerns." However, this morning, the official order of the Gongban Hall will make a final decision on the inheritance of the Tosa Kira family, so I hope that His Royal Highness Kira will go to the audience as the concubine of the previous head of the family. ”

"However, regarding the inheritance of the Tosa Kira family, the Gongfang Hall has already made a ruling in the Imperial Seal." I reminded.

"The Gongban did make a ruling," Akechi Mitsuhide nodded, "but more than a month ago, His Royal Highness the Guardian of Tosa, Nagamune, personally went to Beijing and filed a complaint with the Gongfang Palace, and asked to inherit the ...... of Kaizuki"

"Inherit Haiyue?!" Xiao Xia couldn't help but exclaim.

"In front of His Highness Wise, no rudeness!" I turned around and scolded Konatsu, and then apologized to Akechi Mitsuhide, "This is Kamikawa Konatsu, a former minister of the Kira family, because he cares about the Kira family's family treasure, so ...... It's really rude. ”

"It's okay," said Akechi Mitsuhide.

"Just now, His Royal Highness Akechi said that His Royal Highness Chozong and my department have already served as the guardian of Tosa?" I asked.

"Yes, because the former guardian Daidai Motoyama Shigeru lost Motoyama Castle and most of his territory, and he was no longer able to assist the Ichijo family in protecting Tosa Ichikoku, so Ichijo Quan Nayan appointed His Highness Chosamune...... Remember, the position of Tosa guardian is held by the seven Tosa families in turn, right? Wise Mitsuhide said.

"That's right," I admitted. Because of this, the Tosa Seven Guardians are sometimes referred to as the Tosa Seven Guardians. And if the head of Chomune's department served as the guardian generation, he could indeed appeal to General Yoshiki against such a ruling.

"Although His Highness Kira showed his loyalty to the shogunate by defeating the Kitabatake naval army last time, His Highness Chosamune said that His Highness Kira can also be loyal to the shogunate...... Therefore, the Gongfang Hall is very difficult. ”

"Then let's go to Kyoto and listen to the verdict of the Gongfang Palace!" I replied.

"In this way, I can also reply to the Gongfang Palace," Akechi Mitsuhide smiled, "Your Highness Kira doesn't have to worry too much, the appearance of the Kira family's military strength and the merits in this battle have already been reported to Kyoto." The public palace is fair and has its own judgments. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness." I owe it.

"Then I'll take my leave." Akechi Mitsuhide stood up.

When he went out, I immediately instructed Yoshiyuki Sawaki: "Fujihachi, please go to Komakiyama Castle immediately, explain the whole matter to the lord, and ask for the lord's forgiveness on my behalf." ”

"Don't worry, I will report to the Lord as it is." He nodded.

"But, my lord, this matter is still not in order. Even if you are not the head of the Tosa Kira family, you will follow the lord. Masakatsu Wasuka said.

"Since I have already agreed, I have to go on this trip. The lord is well aware of the situation in Jinnai, so he will naturally make a decision. "Shigeji Takenaka.

I nodded, my eyes swept over Xiao Xia's face, and I sighed lightly when I saw her expectant look.

In fact, it's not just that she has an obsession with Haiyue, but I'm not. The sea moon is the only connection I have to the original world, and it would be best if I could get it back as soon as possible. Otherwise, if it falls to the family of Changzong and my department, it will take many years to get it back, and it may not even be able to get it back.

Even if General Yoshiki doesn't give it to the Changzong family, Haiyue's fate is very worrying. According to history, when General Yoshiki resisted the Miyoshi three, he cut off a lot of famous knives that he had collected, and who knows if Haiyue would win the bid.

Go, go......

……，……

This is my third visit to Kyoto, and I am accompanied by ten guards led by Konatsu, Shigeharu Takenaka, and Yasutoyo Yamauchi. Naturally, the military forces could not enter Kyoto, so I simply asked Wasuka to bring them back to Ise Province.

Ever since I pacified the Kaisan family and the Akahori family, Mie Prefecture of Ise Province has gradually become the center of my governance. In view of Nobunaga's order, I have begun the construction of a new main castle in Mie-gun, which I am preparing to name Mie Castle. This was my small ambition, and the modern hometown of Ise Province was placed under the rule of Mie Prefecture, as well as the two small provinces of Shima and Iga, which were both provinces and prefectures, and the Kumano region in southern Kii.

The original three castles between Haishan Castle and Siyu City were expanded into three branch cities, which were named Aquarius City, Capricorn City and Sagittarius City respectively according to the zodiac constellations; The city of Haishan also changed its name and was called the Twin Cities. Then, the lord of Twin Castle is Kira Hidekage, the lord of Aquarius City is Iwamatsu Nozori, the lord of Capricorn Castle is Masakatsu Beesuka, and the lord of Sagittarius Castle is Kamikawa Konatsu; In addition, in order to defend against attacks from the Nan family and the Kobe family in the south, I have already started to build Murto Castle, and the lord of the castle is scheduled to be Naotora Ii; There is also Aries Castle to the north, which is said to be to monitor the former territory of the Akabori family, but it is actually prepared for Shigeharu Takenaka. I love Moose.

I'm even wondering if I should prepare twelve sets of golden ones......

"My lord, the gift for the audience has been prepared." Yasuho Road, Yamauchi.

"Well, Moose...... No, Chongzhi, the Gongfang Hall has agreed to the audience, so come with me to the palace in the afternoon. ”

"Yes." Shigeharu Takenaka replied.

However, when we arrived at the palace in the afternoon, we were told that the Gongbo Hall was practicing swordsmanship.

"In other words, it is inconvenient for the Gongfang Hall to meet you now?" I asked.

"The Gongfang Palace has instructed that if His Royal Highness Kira comes to meet him, please go directly to the martial arts training ground." The flag book of the general transmission said.

"Then, Chongji, you leave the gift and go back to the dormitory first." I instructed Shigeharu Takenaka, and then followed Akimoto to the martial arts training ground.

On the field, two samurai were fighting each other, and there were more than a dozen samurai watching from the sidelines. Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru sat on the front desk with the shogunate acting Ninagawa chief next to him.

The year before last, 100,000 people from Miyoshi and Hatakeyama fought a big war, and Hatakeyama was defeated, and Hatakeyama Takamasa was exiled, and the shogunate deacon Ise Sadataka and his son-in-law Sadarashi were ordered to be pursued by Matsunaga Shu as substitutes for the general. Then, the post of deacon of the shogunate government office was succeeded by Ise Sadataka's eldest son, Sun Sada. But Sadawei is just a little doll, and the Ninagawa pro-chief, who secretly took refuge in Matsunaga Hide, has a lot of power. When Chojong and my head filed a complaint with General Yoshiki, I heard from Akechi Mitsuhide that he handled it.

At this moment, he said something to the main seat of Ashikaga Yoshiki from time to time, but Yoshiki didn't pay much attention to it.

I came to the front desk and bowed down beside the steps of the stage: "Foreign Minister Kira Xuanjing, I have been ordered to come to meet you." ”
