In front of the temple corridor of Huirinji Temple.

Hordes of heavily armored samurai guarded the entrances and exits, roaming around, their eyes wary.

Boom!

There was a long sound of water.

The abbot of Huilin Temple, Kuaikawa Shaoxi, leaned over and looked out of the courtyard.

Looking at the quiet Buddhist temple in the past, the samurai who took three steps and one person, five steps and one post, and patrolled with a Taidao and naginata, couldn't help frowning slightly.

Takeda Nobuyo, who was sitting opposite Kuaikawa Shaoxi, gently put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Master, if you are worried, I, the samurai, have disturbed the tranquility of Buddhism. I'll just let them take it down. ”

Kuaichuan Shaoxi smiled, his white beard trembled lightly, and said: "Chaoyue, I don't think it's necessary, I think even if you give the order, your side leader will not let these people leave your side." ”

Hearing this, Takeda Nobu smiled slightly, and pointed at Kuaikawa Shaoxi with his finger.

Kuaichuan Shaoxi shook his head slowly at this time, and said: "No one asked in the temple back then, after you got your ambition in Chaoyue today, the attendants approached and hugged each other, but do you still remember the days when you sat in Huilin Temple and participated in meditation?" ”

Takeda Nobuyoshi's eyes showed a hint of remembrance, and he said, "Of course I remember." ”

Kuaichuan Shao said happily: "Then remember what you said when you went out of the mountain?" ”

Takeda Shinfan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Master, what is the meaning of saying this at this time?" ”

Kuaichuan Shaoxi laughed and said, "Chaoyue, I have a deep friendship with you, so I have some words. I can say bluntly, three years ago, when you did not go out of the mountain, you had no worries, you were clear and accessible, and the more you have today, the more you have it, and the more you have it, the more bound you ......."

Speaking of this, Takeda Nobuyoshi stopped his hand and said with a smile: "Master Kuaikawa, how can I forget what I said that day one day. At that time, the monk's room still needed to be cleaned often, and I would eventually return to Buddhism one day. ”

"Can you really put it down?" Kuaikawa Shaoxi frowned and asked.

Takeda Nobuyhiro nodded and said, "I can put it down." ”

Hearing Takeda Nobuyhiro say this, a meaningful smile appeared on his face at the moment, and his hands were folded.

While Takeda Nobuyoshi was drinking tea, a person approached the inside and reported: "Report to the Duke of Chaoyue, the car of the Gongfang Palace has arrived not far ahead, and the imperial envoy asks you to go over now." ”

After hearing this, Takeda Shinshihiro said. sighed slightly, and said in his heart: Ashikaga Yoshiaki obviously wanted to see him in person, but he was afraid of losing his identity, so he deliberately greeted him on the road ahead, posing as if he was going to see him by himself.

Takeda Nobuyoshi immediately looked up at the blazing sun outside, and said to the other side: "Don't be busy. The weather is hot right now, and it's not suitable for travel, so let His Royal Highness wait for a while. ”

"Oh!"

Approaching the command and stepping back.

In front of Huilin Temple, in a pavilion.

Scorching daylight. It is scorching everything in heaven and earth.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki closed the folding fan in his hand and sat in the center of the pavilion with his eyes closed, and at this time, the sweat on his forehead ran down his cheeks and the tip of his nose.

"Takeda Chaoyue, this hillbilly, is too blind!"

Ashikaga Yoshiaki's close minister Kyogo Takayoshi. Lifting the placket of his clothes, he couldn't help but shout angrily.

"Takatoyoshi, pay attention to the samurai law," Ashikaga Yoshiaki opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, in fact, the clothes on Ashikaga Yoshiaki's body were a few heavier than those of Kyogoku Takayoshi, but he was still sitting upright. Maintain the prestige of the shogun.

Kyogoku Takayoshi also understood that it was the king's misdemeanor, and immediately said: "Please forgive the sin of the Gongfang Palace." ”

Ashikaga Yoshiaki nodded and said: "There is a saying in the Ming Kingdom, but the heart is calm and naturally cool, in order to revive the shogunate, I have been waiting for more than ten years, is it still a moment away." ”

"This bitter day can be regarded as a kind of cultivation."

Kyogoku Takayoshi nodded when he heard this, and with a sigh, he said that he was taught. …,

After waiting for a long time, when the sun began to sink in the west and gradually cooled, I saw Takeda Nobuyoshi's car from a distance.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki was so hot that he was already dizzy, but his expression was as calm as constant, and after letting him wipe his sweat with the side, his eyes narrowed and looked straight at Takeda Nobuyoshi.

I saw that under the escort with the Takeda Ling Banner pointing to the side, Takeda Nobu slowly got off the ox cart, slowly walked to the pavilion, saluted himself, and said: "The subordinate Takeda Chaoyue will see the Gongfang Palace. ”

A smile bloomed on Ashikaga Yoshiaki's face, pointed to his side, and said, "Chaoyue, don't be polite, please take a seat." ”

At that moment, Takeda Nobu strode up to the pavilion, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki's attendant took a cushion and asked him to sit down.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki was the first to speak, and said: "Dare to ask Chaoyue, when will you lead the army to Luo?" ”

Takeda Shinfan thought for a moment and said, "Return to the Gongfang Palace, if the preparations are ready, it will be ready within a few months." ”

Speaking of this, Takeda Shinfan paused and said: "Please also ask the Gongfang Palace, wait patiently, after a few months, the family can eradicate the traitor Oda and re-establish the shogunate in Kyoto, and then the Gongfang Palace can return to Kyoto." ”

Ashikaga Yoshiaki's face twitched slightly when he heard this, and he immediately suppressed this ecstasy so that no one could see his expression, and then said lightly: "Chaoyue has worked hard, I will remember the Takeda family's efforts to support it, and after regaining Kyoto, I will take the Izumi and Settsu countries among the five kingdoms of as the feudal ...... of the Takeda family."

Before Ashikaga Yoshiaki's words fell, Takeda Nobuyhiro raised his head, laughed, and interrupted Ashikaga Yoshiaki's words.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki is close to the left and right, and the close ministers are all discolored.

Kyogoku Takayoshi got up and took a step forward and shouted, "Takeda Chaoyue, you dare to be presumptuous in front of the emperor!" ”

Takeda Nobuyoshi stared at Kyogoku Takayoshi.

Kyogoku Takayoshi was forced by Takeda Shinshi's color, and his face couldn't help but change, and he slowly sat down.

After forcing Kyogoku Takayoshi to retreat, Takeda Nobuyo brushed his monk's robe, snapped the rosary in his hand, threw it in front of the ground, and said: "Gongfang Palace, the matter of Shangluo has not been completed, and it is too early to take out the five kingdoms of to reward them now." The extermination of Oda, in addition to the rebellion of Kuangzheng, the revival of the shogunate, my Kanto samurai blood spilled on the battlefield, but also to serve the imperial court, died well, but when it comes to the post-war reward, when the meritorious person resides, the division has been decided in advance, then I am afraid that the soldiers will not use their lives. ”

Speaking of this, Takeda Nobuyoshi regained the arrogance of the talent, and became the humble and polite monk again, bowed to Ashikaga Yoshiaki again, and said: "For a while, the emperor lost his honor, and I ask the public palace to forgive the sin." The subordinate still has important things to do and retires. ”

After speaking, Takeda Nobushihiro brushed his robe, and regardless of Ashikaga Yoshiaki's face, he strode away.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki's face was as heavy as iron, and suddenly he pinched the folding fan in his hand, pointed to the distant back of Takeda Nobuhiro, and said, "This person is the second Nobunaga!" ”

In fact, Ashikaga Yoshiaki approached Takeda Nobuyoshi this time to discuss the ownership of the five countries after Joraku.

This was proposed first, lest the Takeda family, like the Oda family in history, ignore the will of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, pick up his imperial seal, and stamp it with a snap.

In the end, the ownership of the five countries all came from Oda Nobunaga's order.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Ashikaga Yoshiaki found Takeda Shinshi, he refused without hesitation.

Kyogoku Takayoshi was also on the side, and said: "This mountain monkey of Kai is a group of wolf hearts and ambitions, Gongfang Palace, Takeda Nobuyoshi doesn't take you in his eyes now, needless to say in the future, you need to plan early." ”

Ashikaga Yoshiaki nodded, sat upright again, and resumed the deep style of the original castle.

Kyogoku Takayoshi thought for a while and said: "Among the Takeda family, Takeda Nobushihiro is in the name of hindsight, and he overstepped the family to supervise Takeda Dashan and monopolize power. Major General Konoe and Sanada Yasubo are all important ministers who have grievances. The Gongfang Hall can be used as an opportunity. ”…,

When Ashikaga Yoshiaki heard this, he bowed his head slightly and said: "What you said is exactly that Major General Konoe has a heart close to the imperial court and works hard to serve the public, so he is a loyal minister. He can be used as a help. ”

Kyogoku Takayoshi continued, "Yes, in addition to the Takeda family, Tokugawa, Date, Hojo, and Mori are all powerful in the world, so why not give them this opportunity to be loyal to the imperial court." ”

"This time in Shangluo, the Gongfang Hall can write a book and summon these daimyo to unify Shangluo, first, to show the authority of the shogunate, and secondly, to let them contain each other and not let the Takeda family dominate."

When Ashikaga Yoshiaki heard this, his face showed joy, and he said, "That's right. ”

Speaking of this, Ashikaga Yoshiaki looked at Kyogoku Takayoshi and said, "Your Excellency is really a loyal minister of the imperial court, when I was driven out of Kyoto by Nobunaga, forced to live in the Mori family, and now I have come to the Takeda family to send people under the fence. On this day of displacement, Your Excellency has always been loyal to the imperial court, and I am deeply moved. ”

Hearing Ashikaga Yoshiaki say this, Kyogoku Takayoshi suddenly whined a few times, squeezed out a few tears from the corners of his wrinkled eyes, and said: "The palace of the public is gracious, and the ministers must serve the court with their hearts and minds." ”

When Ashikaga Yoshiaki said this, he was also a little emotional, and said: "In this way, Kita-Omi was the place where the Kyogoku family was official, and if the general trend can be achieved, I will definitely break off with all my strength and return this place to the Kyogoku family, so that you can restore your ancestral business." ”

Speaking of this, Ashikaga Yoshiaki's voice changed and said, "What's more, Kita-Omi is close to Wakasa and Echizen, so you can also get the support of Major General Konoe." ”

Compared to just now, this time Kyogoku Takayoshi was really shocked, when the Kyogoku family was at its peak, it had the six countries of Kita Omi, Hida, Izumo, Wakasa, Kamiso, and Settsu.

Later, the Kyogoku declined, and the territory was gradually lost, and finally the Asai family, a native of the North Omi country, raised their heads, completed the move of the lower Keshang, and drove the main family away, and finally the Kyogoku family ended up in today's field.

And Ashikaga Yoshiaki actually said that he would return Kita-Omi, this ancestral land, to the Kyogoku family, and it is no wonder that Kyogoku Takayoshi was grateful.

Kyogoku Takayoshi also understood that Ashikaga Yoshiaki was also trying to win over Li Xiao's help, knowing that his daughter Kyogoku Ryuko had married Li Zheng as a side room.

Now Kyogoku Gaoji is worthy of his name, sitting on the major general of the guards of the Seven Kingdoms, Li Xiao's in-laws, and his waist is very hard.

If he wants to become the guardian of Kita-Omi, he will inevitably get Li Xiao's support, and the establishment of the Kyogoku family in Kita-Omi will also be of great help to Li Xiao.
