Within two days of the surrender of the Hojo clan, a heavy snowfall fell in the Kanto region.

The wealthy clans of the Kanto region rushed back to their own territories, the Satomi army, which occupied Nirayama Castle, also retreated to Shimoda, and the Nagao army moved to Tamasho Castle.

The Northern Shinano side also sent back a war report, saying that Takeda Harunobu had withdrawn from the army.

The third battle of Kawanakajima ended in a draw again.

Kakizaki Keike became famous in Hokuriku and was praised by Takeda Harunobu as "the first in Hokuriku" and "unparalleled in ancient and modern times".

The winter of the second year of Koji (1556) arrived.

The clan governor, who succeeded him as the governor of the new Hojo family, moved the grain from Odawara Castle and distributed it to the various lords according to the rations.

The Kwantung Coalition fought from summer to autumn in the Hojo family's territory, not only eating up this year's autumn rice, but also forcing the local landowners to pay a year's rent immediately. Only such a draconian policy could feed its 100,000-strong Kwantung coalition army, but it was precisely this strategy that plunged Izu and Sagami into famine.

The Hojo clan government was from top to bottom and strictly economical, which for a time made the atmosphere of the Hojo family look new.

Although the Hojo clan was defeated in the Kanto War, the Hojo clan was defeated without chaos, which also made their opponents awe-inspiring.

"Odawara Castle is a castle where the governors of the past dynasties lived, and it should not be abandoned one day, and the walls of Odawara Castle should be restored as soon as possible."

The old man at home, Kenhide Matsuda, reminded him, but Kenhide didn't expect his kind reminder to be reprimanded by the Hojo clan:

"The peasants in the territory are dying of hunger, where is the strength to repair the city walls? Now that my family is in financial difficulties, if Matsuda-sama intends to donate it, my clan will welcome it, and there is no need to say anything else! ”

This move made Matsuda Kenhide feel humiliated...... Subsequently, he united several of the Hojo family's "Miyuo family" and jointly wrote to Nagao Teruto, who was stationed in the jade rope, denouncing the immorality of the Hojo clan.

When she caught up with this incident, Sister Jinghu was drinking and singing with Guan Bai Jinwei for a long time.

However, rather than singing, it is more appropriate to "compose a song".

What kind of mountains and waters, wind and rain, the two of you come and go happily, and Zuo Zuo Chengzheng, who is sitting at the bottom of his hand, listens to it and falls asleep.

Sasa Narimasa has always adhered to the tenet of "sleep when you are sleepy, and sleep comfortably", so he did not maintain a kneeling posture, and directly fell to the side, lying on his side and curled up.

Sister Jinghu and Konoe Qianjiu saw that Chengzheng fell asleep at the song party again, and they were already surprised, and they smiled face-to-face, and Konoe Qianjiu's smile was more mysterious.

What does Konoe mean by a long time ago?

This doubt flashed in Sister Jinghu's heart, and she immediately got up from her seat, took off her outer robe, and gently covered Cheng Zheng's body.

Winter is coming, but Zuo Zuo Chengzheng's injuries have not been very good, and he coughs a few times from time to time, so Sister Jinghu is also more concerned about the health of this retainer than usual.

Konoe Qianjiu saw Sister Jinghu's actions in his eyes, smiled and put on a high hat for Sister Jinghu:

"Huihu Gong is really sympathetic to his retainers."

“…… Because he's a complete idiot. ”

Sister Jinghu looked at Cheng Zheng's peaceful sleeping face with doting eyes, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, like an older sister looking at her sleeping brother.

After receiving a new kimono from the maid's hand, Sister Jinghu sat back, but Konoe shook out a topic that made her feel like a beep:

"I have a younger sister called the perfect concubine...... It's quite a match with Chengzheng. ”

The smile on Sister Jinghu's face suddenly disappeared, and she looked suspicious:

"Maekusan...... What do you mean? He already has a main room, and he is the first beauty in the country of Meinong. ”

Speaking of returning to the butterfly, Konoe showed a sudden expression for a long time, and the folding fan was also put away, and he gently patted it on the palm of his hand:

"Yes...... I didn't expect Chengzheng to be married, and his main room is Saito Yoshiryu's sister. ”

"Sodesi milk, the noble status of the absolute concubine is not suitable for condescending to marry Chengzheng as a concubine."

As soon as this sentence was said, Sister Jinghu had already unconsciously stated her position:

I don't approve of the marriage between Sasa Naruma and Jehome.

"In this case, it is difficult...... But I can only become a politician, and it is no problem to become the head of a country within a few years, or I will write a letter to my family first, and let Jue Ji come over and get along with Chengzheng. ”

"Ahem...... His Royal Highness Guan Bai, I look at this matter, so forget it. ”

Sister Jinghu meowed in her heart, I hinted that you can't do it, you still haven't gotten on the road, you have to ask me to say it so ugly......

"Cheng Zheng, this baga, is very single-minded, he once told me that if you don't like each other, you shouldn't get married."

"Soga? It's a very different idea. ”

"So I believe...... Cheng Zheng will not agree to this matter, in the end, he has a little inner Tibetan help but refuses His Royal Highness Guan Bai, it is not very good to spread out, Cheng Zheng's true love is-"

"Sister Jinghu...... Love you ......"

Sasa Narumasa answered in a daze.

it, God reverts!

Sister Jinghu's face was stuck as if the pause button had been pressed, and after Konoe was stunned for a while, he immediately understood.

A long time ago, he hurriedly opened the folding fan to cover his mouth and snickered.

Sister Jinghu's face turned red again.

As if she was caught by her little friend (fog), Sister Jinghu felt extremely embarrassed at this time.

Time passes in every minute and every second, why does it pass so slowly......

Sister Jinghu couldn't stop slandering, absentmindedly perfunctory for a long time, how to tie Zuo Chengzheng to her side?

"He loves me...... Me too, it's just that this bond may not be enough, although this guy is special, but ......"

Sister Jinghu silently pondered a way to retain Chengzheng, but she couldn't think of a more effective way to envelop her than marriage.

…… What a clever plan, His Highness Konoe Maehisa.

Sister Jinghu sighed silently, and was surprised to find that Sazuo Chengzheng next to her was opening her eyes and looking at herself.

Isn't this guy asleep?

"Cheng Zhengsang, I have a sister who has always admired you, do you want to meet and have tea or something?"

Konoe saw the stitches for a long time, and he didn't care about Sister Jinghu's contemptuous gaze, and began to blatantly dig into the foot of the wall.

"Huh?"

Cheng Zheng turned to the former long ago in a daze.

"Ahh......h My sister Jehime, who is 14 years old this year, admires you very much, and says that she wants to come to Kanto to see you cherry blossoms. ”

Konoe lied with a smile and a smile on his face, and did it in one go, without making drafts.

"Oh."

Sazuo Chengzheng answered, lowered his head and lay down again, his nose twitched slightly, and then he grabbed the kimono that Sister Jinghu covered him and sniffed it carefully, before continuing to sleep with peace of mind.

"His Highness Guan Bai...... There is no need to worry about this matter, wait until Chengzheng's injuries have healed. ”

Sister Jinghu cleared her throat and stared at the slightly embarrassed guard and gave an "order" for a long time.

Sister Jinghu didn't expect that Zuo Zuo Chengzheng's injury would be recuperated for half a year.
