Chapter 247: A Conspiracy from Kai
Princess Aya watched the intimate movements of the two with relief, as the eldest sister, she has maintained correspondence with her younger brother Nagao Jinghu over the years, of course, she also knows where the awkwardness between the young couple comes from, and the two have experienced disasters and reconciled as before, so that she can settle down: "Wuweidian and Hu Ji are really a match made in heaven, and Zhengjing and I are looking forward to your wedding." ”
"I'm looking forward to it too...... Not! When he saw Kira Yoshi, he was still talking nonsense, and Hu Ji hurriedly covered his mouth and complained in a low voice: "Your Highness, don't talk nonsense, okay?" Tiger Ji will be bothered. ”
"Understood, I won't talk nonsense!" Kira Yoshishi nodded hurriedly, and Hu Ji's statement also made him breathe a sigh of relief, and this feeling of seeing his parents made him a little at a loss.
The short meeting ended in a hurry in Guosong's physical discomfort, looking at the ox cart in the distance, Hu Ji sighed: "When my sister was pregnant with Guosong, it happened to be the most difficult years for my long-tail family, and my sister has been worried about Guosong's congenital constitution after birth, and he has been sick since he was a child. ”
"May the gods and Buddhas bless the country and grow up safely."
"Hmm!" Hu Ji took out the rosary and whispered the "Medicine Master Liuliguang Rulai Wish Merit Sutra", she would not have memorized this scripture, but since Kira Yoshishi almost died to save her, she has been copying and reciting this scripture day and night, and now she has been able to recite it to the stream.
After passing through Sakado Castle and heading north into the Shinano River, the fleet passed through Shimoetsu and saw countless large and small swampy lakes in Shimoetsu Province, as well as some natural hot springs with heavy steam. It feels as if you are in a primitive era thousands of years ago. There are also many salt lakes that dry up into the water.
"It's so beautiful. Your Highness, look! And a flock of big white birds, and they're flying! Tiger Ji was in high spirits, and her two little hands danced with the white bird.
Ji Liang Yishi also laughed and said: "That's the big heron, that is, the white heron, the tiger queen must have heard the two yellow orioles singing green willows, a line of poems about the egret in the sky, right?" ”
"I've heard that! Isn't it the verses of the poet Saint Du Fu? Tiger Ji is well-read! Tiger Ji wrinkled her small nose and raised her eyebrows to look at him with a smug expression, meaning that you came to praise me.
"Oh? Then let me say another one, can you answer it? "It's rare to see Tiger Ji's delicate expression. He deliberately teased her, "Why are there two egrets by the water, and there are no worries about hanging silk on their heads?" From which poet? ”
"Don't bother me! It is Bai Juyi's "White Egret". ”
"The egret has a fist, and the moon is bright and the autumn water is cold."
"Poet Immortal Li Bai's "Endowed with an Egret and Sending Song Shaofu to the Three Gorges"!"
……
Located at the northern end of the Kofu Basin, the Kusakikan is a fan-shaped terrain surrounded by the Fujikawa and Aikawa rivers on the east and west sides, and was originally built in the 16th year of Eisho, and was inspired by Takeda Shintora when he first visited Kyoto.
It is said that it is a residential building, but in fact it is a small fortress-like city, with an area of 46,000 square meters. After the fright of Murakami Yoshikiyo a few years ago, the defense facilities of this flat castle have been further improved. The layers of outer water, inner water, and empty water are extremely complex.
In the Nakakuren Residence, Harunobu Takeda is distressed by the unfavorable form of the autumn harvest, a sudden storm brings endless floods, not to mention the severe damage in Kanto, the situation of Kai is not good, and the hard-working Hachioji Street is swallowed up by mudslides, and many people die and waste their money and labor hours.
Looking at the reported economic losses, Takeda Harunobu said helplessly: "What should I do now?" The general service of the capital has already been requisitioned, so should the general service of other counties be requisitioned? ”
"Your Majesty thinks that Rending should still be out of Duliu County." Masatake Komai said, "It's just that there may be some complaints from Koyamada Temple. ”
Iitomi Huchang glanced at Masatake Komai, shook his head and said, "This is not appropriate, right?" Dewa Shouden has made a contribution to my Takeda family, Yazaburo Hall is only fourteen years old, and the suggestion of Takahakusaiden is inappropriate. ”
Masatake Komai asked rhetorically, "What should we do with the meaning of the military department?" ”
"Of course, it is from other counties to requisition the general service."
"So what should be done with the affected areas in the three counties? The shores of the Fufuki River and the Kamamu River were severely affected, and where can the general service be called for post-disaster reconstruction and reinforcement of the embankments? ”
"Isn't there someone in Shinano?"
"And what about Shinano's disaster?"
"What does this mean?" Fan Fu Huchang was full of color, stood up angrily, and said angrily with tiger eyes: "Do you have any opinions about me Huchang himself?" If you have an opinion, you can say it to your face, don't carry a gun and a stick, I'm not afraid of you. ”
"Enough!" Takeda Harunobu waved his hand to stop the quarrel, pointed at Iitomi Huchang and said: "Huchang sit down for me, fellow ministers must not be bad because of words, have you forgotten what your family often says?" ”
"Yes! I'll remember. Iitomi Huchang knew that what Takeda Harunobu said was the sentence "People are the city, people are the wall, people are the wall, people are friends, and hatred is the enemy!" This is also Takeda's favorite words on his lips.
Shinaki hurriedly started the round and said with a smile: "The two highnesses are also working hard for my Takeda family, so it's good to be considerate of each other!" Speaking of which, this year's year is really bad! A great flood has reduced the harvest by more than 10%, and your families have suffered some losses, right? To be honest, the loss in Chizuka's territory is not light! ”
"Yes! My family has also lost a lot! The topic was quickly led to the loss of the autumn harvest, which made Komai Masatake breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly gave a grateful look to Kube Nobuaki, he and Kube Nobuaki were both the elders of the spectrum family in the Takeda Shinhu era, and both of them were close retainers of Takeda Harunobu, Kube Nobuaki served as the performer, and Komai Masatake served as Yubi, and he was usually the most able to speak by Takeda Harunobu's side.
The Iitomi Huchang belongs to the Takeda family, and the Takeda family relies on the huge branch of the family that has been developed over the past few hundred years to maintain the status of the lord of Kai, and they are different from the old people of the genealogy family in the era of Takeda Harunobu, who are the lords of large estates in various parts of Kai, with land and armed forces.
And the original Kai Fei powerful Spectrum Generations have already been killed by Takeda Shinto, and a large number of people died in the Shinano War a few years ago, and now it is simply not enough to confront the Takeda Generation, so there will be various frictions between the Takeda Sect and the Spectrum Generation, such as this quarrel is a small microcosm of the Takeda family's infighting.
Both sides are fighting for the right to speak in the family, and Iitomi Humasa obviously feels that as the rear servant of Taro Takeda Yoshinobu, he should retain a certain right to speak in the affairs of the family.
The white-haired Imai Sagami Nobufu, and his younger brother Imai Toranobu, nodded at Iitomi Torasho, the two brothers are only one year apart, one is sixty-eight years old, and the other is sixty-seven years old, both of them have followed closely since Takeda Shinhu first started the army, and later followed the clan to resist Takeda Shintora also made a contribution, and after the Zong family surrendered, they also got Takeda Shintora's understanding.
On the other side, the uncle and nephew of Imai Nobugen and Imai Nobumasa also nodded at them, they belong to the lineage of the Imai family, and during the Xiangroku period, Imai Nobuto and Imai Nobumoto father and son, successively fought against Takeda Nobutoshi with Kurihara Nobujina, Kurihara Hyogo brothers, and Iitomi Huchang, and after the defeat, Imai Nobugen surrendered to the Takeda family and was forgiven.
Imai Nobumasa is the eldest son of Imai Nobugen's younger brother Imai Noburin, and he is also the most trusted member of Takeda Harunobu, serving as the Takeda family banner of the Takeda family.
A group of people, including Zhujiao Huding, Zhujiao Huden's father and son, Ganli Huzhong, Yimi Nobukin, Oi Torama, and Takeda Nobukatsu's son-in-law, Takeda Nobukatsu's righteous brother Asari Tora, all expressed serious concern and dissatisfaction with Takeda Harunobu's reuse of the spectrum, and even hated the new and old pedigree generations that even Takeda Harunobu reused.
Especially a few years after the death of Itagaki Nobukata, Takeda Harunobu used a pretext to kill Itagaki Nobukata's sister-in-law, Itagaki Nobuken, which made many people seriously doubt that Takeda Harunobu would follow his father's old path, his father Takeda Nobutoka cut off a bunch of pedigree heads in order to kill Kagami Yuanguang, and later went to war with the Imagawa family and cut off a bunch of pedigree heads, and finally was exiled by a genealogy and Takeda Harunobu.
Takeda Harunobu naturally knows all this, but there are some things that you still have to do even if you know that you will be strongly opposed, such as promoting your trusted retainers, and gradually abandoning the one and the same generation of the Takeda family in the era of his father Takeda Shintora, he is now using the family elders to suppress one family, and he will use the new generation generation to suppress these family elders in the future, which are all necessary steps to strengthen centralized power.
Seeing that the expressions of the ministers were not quite right, Takeda Nobuyhiro stood up and said: "The lord doesn't have to worry too much, the foundation of my Takeda family is not damaged, but it is just to build roads and repair embankments, as long as you take out some of this year's military expenses, it will be completely enough." ”
"Well, this family also has this intention, but what should Okushinano do? If Echigo's long-tail army took the opportunity to enter Shinano to make waves, how should the family respond? Harunobu Takeda asked his new question.
"Please rest assured! His Majesty was about to talk about it just now. Masatake Komai said with a smile: "Although something went wrong this summer, so that the important minister of the Nagao family, Daxiong, failed to rebel and fled to Yuezhong, but the minister's strategy still played a big role, and they have already said that they will raise the anti-flag at the right time, and the approximate time should be after the autumn harvest." ”
"Oh? Is that so? That's a good thing! Hehehe......" Takeda Harunobu calmed down and said to his ministers with a smile: "Our strong enemy in the north is in chaos, this is a precious opportunity left for us, repair the road embankment as soon as possible, and prepare for the next year's battle in Okushinano!" ”
"Yes!" Regardless of their intentions, nearly 100 retainers in the town leaned over to show their obedience to the lord of Kai. (To be continued......)
