Chapter 1094: The First Beauty of the Warring States
Kiyoshu Castle is full of greenery, the Kiso River is babbling, and the spring scenery is the same as last year, and Oda Nobunaga, who had achieved good results in Ise Province before, also received news from the Western Province at this time that the Luo family had entered Bigo Province like lightning.
Unlike the general Warring States Daimyo who only pay attention to the power situation around their territory, Oda Nobunaga, who is determined to dominate the world, in addition to paying attention to the power situation around him, is also very concerned about some well-known Warring States Daimyo in various places at this time of the Warring States Period, and the Kyushu Eagle Luo Clan Masaliang, who is known as the Warring States Twin Heroes along with Imagawa Yoshimoto, is naturally the object of his greatest attention.
After learning that the Luo family had begun to encroach on the Bingo region, Oda Nobunaga directly locked himself in the house and thought about it for an afternoon, and then immediately summoned his wife and retainer Kizo Shigetada to negotiate with him.
Immediately after these events, Oda Nobunaga summoned his ministers to come and deliberate. At the very beginning of the meeting, Oda Nobunaga announced the shocking news that he had decided to marry his sister Oda City to the governor of the Luo family, Masarashi Roshi.
Oda Nobunaga's decision was so surprising that everyone knew that Oda Nobunaga had always been very fond of Princess Aichi. Princess Ashi's treatment has always been on par with Mrs. Mino, who is his wife. Among Oda Nobunaga's younger sisters, Princess Aichi has the best place to live, the most maids, and the best and most used.
Moreover, Inuyama Hall is married, and Kohata Hall is married...... Even the lord Oda Nobunaga's sister Inu and her young daughter Tokuki had been engaged early, and Princess Aichi, who was only fifteen years old, had not made any moves. This has led many people to think in private. The lord Oda Nobunaga is estimated to be reluctant to marry this princess of Ashi. Maybe it's going to be in the room...... Judging by the unscrupulous character of the lord Oda Nobunaga. It's not impossible.
In addition, as the first beauty of the family, Princess Ashi has not many admirers. A little more reliable is Ikeda Hengxing, who is the milk brother and the righteous brother of the lord Nobunaga, and is also a retainer of the family tree, and the age is also suitable, and he is indeed very promising to become the husband of Princess Aichi and the righteous brother of the lord Oda Nobunaga; Unreliable is Shibata Katsuie, but Shibata Katsuya is forty years old this year. It's a bit old.
However, now the lord Oda Nobunaga suddenly announced that he would marry Princess Aichi to Masara Roshi, which is also a bit unreliable, although Masahara Roshi is younger than Shibata Katsuya, but at least twenty years older than Princess Aichi, right? What's more, the Luo family is 108,000 miles away from the Oda family, even if it is married to the Oda family, it is worthless to the Oda family, in this case, why waste the treasure in the hearts of Princess Ashi, the family of everyone?
Thereupon. Lin Xiuzhen, the elder of the family, immediately said what many people thought: "Lord, do you want to think about it again?" Marriage and alliance with the Luo family. I'm afraid it's useless to my family! β
"Loyalty!" Oda Nobunaga seemed to have anticipated this, so he immediately called Kizo Shigetada's name and said, "Tell you about it." β
"Yes." Kizo Shigetada immediately owed a debt, and then said to everyone, "Last year, during the period when the lord defeated Imagawa Yoshimoto and then went to Raku, the lord not only asked to meet with the shogun, but also secretly met with the three major Saito Michi people in Mino and the envoys of the Luo family......"
"Could it be that the return of the three major people to Meinong has the participation of the Luo family?" Before Kizo Shigetuda finished speaking, Takigawa Kazuki, who had recently taken refuge in Oda Nobunaga, had already discovered the strangeness, so he hurriedly said.
"Not bad." Kizo Shigetoda nodded and said, "In addition, judging from the news reported by the detectives stationed in the Kyoto area by the main family, it seems that the shogun has been in mysterious contacts with the people of the Luo family during this period of time, and there is even news that Luo Shi's sister-in-law, Luo Shihuiliang, has secretly appeared in the Kyoto area before......"
And when everyone in the Oda family was discussing the marriage alliance with the Luo family in the assessment room, Mrs. Mino, who had been appointed by Oda Nobunaga, also called Oda City to her room at this time. Previously, Oda Nobunaga had already approached Oda City in advance and told Oda City the news that he planned to marry him to the Luo family. And now, Mrs. Mino is following Oda Nobunaga's instructions to tell more news to Oda City.
"Ah Shi, come here!" When the beautiful city of Oda appeared at the door, Mrs. Mino stood up briskly and beckoned her in, "Come, I'll teach you to pour tea." You have to remember. β
"Yes." Oda City appears to be very supple.
Looking at such a beautiful city of Oda, Mrs. Mino couldn't help but feel a little heartache. After all, this is another strategic marriage! Thinking of such a naΓ―ve Ah Shi marrying a man who was more than twenty years older than her, Mrs. Mino couldn't help but feel infinite sadness and emotion in her heart. The same is true of her marriage, which was not born naturally by human affection, but was placed in the Oda family as a spy and hostage to bind and contain her husband Nobunaga.
"You know what? Be sure to keep an eye on your husband and report to us whenever there is any trouble. When Lady Mino married Nobunaga, her brother Michizo Saito clearly told her (at this time, Lady Mino was the third daughter of Michizo Saito, not the second daughter, Nohime, but when she got married, Michizo Saito still gave the task of Nohime in history to his third daughter). And now, she has to find a way to tell Oda City in this way. Oda City held the tea in a dignified manner, and Mrs. Mino retreated slightly, imagining how Oda City and Luo Masayo would get along in the future, and there was no movement for a long time.
"I see, thanks." After pouring the tea, Oda City put down the tea bowl in a proper manner. Her every move seemed natural, but the more distressing it became.
"Ashi. Do you know what weddings are all about? Lady Mino asked with a nonchalant smile. Seeing that Oda City just blinked and didn't answer, Mrs. Mino said, "So, where is Ashi going to marry?" β
"Roche Family ......"
"Yes, yes, what's that guy's name?"
"Roche Zhengliang."
Lady Mino nodded solemnly: "So, do you know why your brother married you to Luo Zhengliang?" β
ββ¦β¦β
"As you must know, the Oda family is descended from the Taira clan, while the Roshi family is from the Genji. In the past, the two families of Yuanping often fought against each other and were hostile for a long time. The Ashikaga family, the shogun of the current capital, is also Genji. Ashi! β
"Hmm."
"What I say, never tell outsiders. Ashikaga Shogun is no longer capable of ruling the world, and in his place must be the people of the Taira clan...... This is your brother's idea. β
"So...... The Luo family is our enemy? β
"Not really. Although your brother and Luo Zhengliang belong to the two branches of Pingyuan, the two families have joined forces before, and now your brother wants to rule the world with the Luo family. Therefore, your brother married you to the Luo family in the hope that the two families could work together. Do you understand? β
ββ¦β¦β
"Not only that, but in the city where your brother used to live, there is a temple called Guangming Temple, and there is a monk named Yizu living in it. The monk liked to read military books, and it is said that he was proficient in the forty-eight volumes of military books handed down by Genji's ancestor Hachiman Taro Yoshiie. β
"Taro Hachiman......"
"Your brother asked Yizu to teach him, but because it is the secret book of the Gen family, he can't pass it on to the Hei family...... In the end, your brother decided to pass it on to the Luo family as a gift in this marriage. Do you understand, your brother is very sincere in the idea of sharing the world equally with the Luo family. β
Oda nodded incomprehensibly. Why did Madame Mino sue her for these things, she didn't quite understand.
"Do you understand, the secret military book that you can't get is specially given to Luo Zhengliang, you should know your brother's broad mind. So, the two families formed an alliance and decided to work together to pacify the world. Therefore, if one of the retainers tries to undermine this alliance, it is a big problem for both families. If you notice that kind of behavior, you have to have someone report it to us quickly. In addition, in order to better divide the world, it is also very important to be able to keep abreast of the situation in each other's homes. β
"Yes. I understand. Oda looked at Mrs. Mino and nodded innocently.
Mrs. Mino noticed Oda's eyes and couldn't help but want to cry. Oda is still at a naΓ―ve age. Her innocent little face, so far away from the crazy conspiracies of the world, is now being sent to a strange place. This is not just a tragedy for Oda City, all women born into a daimyo family will face the same fate.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Mino said to Oda City, "Remember. You want to be a strong woman, and I will give you a saber. But...... Don't be too stubborn, and don't be at odds with Roche's politics. β
"I will get along with Roche Masahiro, because Roche Masahiro is my husband."
"When you arrive at Roche's house, you have to learn to greet people. Seeing the words of Luo's son and daughter...... "Speaking of this, Mrs. Mino is a little unbearable, at this time Luo's Zhengliang already has a wife and concubine, let's not say whether the Luo family will agree to the Oda family's request for marriage and alliance this time, even if the Luo family agrees, then what kind of status will Oda City get in the Luo family?" Thinking of this, Lady Mino really didn't want to imagine it anymore, and she smiled reluctantly, "You have to take care of them." β
At this point, Mrs. Mino was silent again. She felt that teaching too much at one time would make Oda City unbearable. Subsequently, Oda City learned the guqin for a while under the demonstration of Mrs. Mino and went back.
And just as Oda Nobunaga was planning to marry his sister to the Luo family, Masayo, who was still completely unaware of this, was meeting a strange monk at this time.
