"Wow!"

In the evening, in a room in the castle lord's mansion in Kakumuli Castle, Bungo Province, Kyushu, a muffled vomiting sound suddenly sounded.

Otomo Yoshikan's chest was wrapped in a thick bandage at this time, his face was very bad, he looked very pale, his black eyes rolled up, his cheeks were deeply sunken, as if he had become two black holes, his mouth was moving slightly, and he was breathing rapidly.

"Wow!"

"Quick, the lord is throwing up again."

At this moment, a servant outside the tent shouted nervously, and there was a sudden sound of nervous footsteps outside the tabernacle. Immediately afterwards, a servant and a maid opened the tent and walked in quickly.

"What are you yelling about?" Otomo Yoshikan scolded, but his teeth were rattling and his voice was low. His lips spasmed, and he felt drool come out. He tried to lift himself with his left hand, but the right half of his body felt as if it was rooted in the ground, and it was very heavy. In a hurry, he suddenly felt something in his chest, and he was about to vomit it out.

"Wow!"

Otomo Yoshikan spit out for the third time. It looked like food, it looked like a black blood clot, and it felt slimy on the left side of his face.

"Don't scream, don't let anyone else find out. Don't even speak. The faint voice made the personal guards and maids who ran over even more frightened and embarrassed.

The arrow that Masara shot him almost killed him now. The arrow went straight into his ribs from behind. Because Otomo Yoshikan did not wear armor in order to speed up his escape at that time, the arrow almost directly penetrated half of his body. If it weren't for the long distance of Masayo's shooting at that time, Otomo Yoshikan would have been shot directly through his body.

Such injuries should have been treated immediately at the time. Maybe there will be a saver. But at that time, after fleeing into the city of Hizao in a hurry. The Luo family almost rushed into the city again, and for the sake of safety, Usuki Jiansu had to grit his teeth and flee on horseback with Otomo Yoshikan on his back. Due to the delay in the treatment time, and at the same time, the wound was greatly shaken when he fled from the city on horseback. Shortly after returning to Kakumuli City, the wound on his back became infected. This is almost inexplicable for the current level of medical care. Even if the retainers of the Otomo family later spent a lot of precious medicinal materials and secretly invited the best doctors in the country of Bungo, it is a miracle that Otomo Yoshikan can support it until now.

Now that Otomo Yoshikan knows that his time is running out. He had to make a choice about the successor to the governor while he was still sane.

Now he has three sons: Otomo Yoshijin and Otomo Haruhide (also Yoshicho Ouchi) were both born to Yoshitaka Ouchi's sister. And Shiochi Pill was born to Yijian's wife. As a son-in-law, Yoshijin will naturally inherit the governor of the Otomo family. It's just that Otomo Yoshikan had a long time ago in his heart: Yoshijin, the son, gradually became rough and greedy for pleasure as he grew older, while Sueko Shioichimaru showed the potential to be wise and knowledgeable, and this obvious contrast made him hesitate about the common sense that Yoshijin would inherit the family governor.

More importantly, both Otomo Yoshijin and Otomo Harui have the blood of the Ouchi family, and he is afraid that after his death, Yoshijin will be controlled by Ouchi and the business of the Otomo family for twenty generations will be ruined.

"Quick, quick...... Go and invite a few adults to come to me...... Come. "Lately he's been having a lot of nightmares. He dreamed that all the wealthy clans he had killed in the past had come to him, and today he suddenly felt terrified. He was really worried that he wouldn't wake up. So he hurriedly ordered the maids and attendants who were busy cleaning up the tatami mats next to him, and the servants who had been waiting for his orders to come and receive the last words.

The people who soon received the notice, such as Mamoru Saito, Mamoru Yamato Kosai, Misaku Mamoru Tsukumi, Kurato Taguchi, Usuki Kansu, Irita Kosei, Wakabayashi Echigo Mamoru and others, quickly gathered in Otomo Yoshikan's ward.

Everyone couldn't help but feel desolate when they watched the family governor who had led them to almost the largest territory of the Otomo family be tortured by injuries and illness. Especially recently, rumors have spread in the territory, and everyone has not told him the situation until this time in order not to affect Otomo Yoshikan's condition.

After letting the maids and maids retreat outside, the room was closed again. Otomo raised his head weakly, and glanced with difficulty at the retainers kneeling in the room.

"Ladies and gentlemen...... The purpose of summoning you and others is to ...... Determine the next ...... The matter of the governor. Otomo Yoshikan said intermittently.

"My lord?"

Although everyone was ready to accept Otomo Yoshikan's imminent death in their hearts, they couldn't help but feel sad when they suddenly saw the lord giving his last words.

"Both...... Sit tight, I'm ...... Not dead yet. ”

Otomo Yoshikan immediately turned pale and scolded. At this time, his face suddenly turned rosy. It's a bit of a back-to-the-light vibe. Seeing the lord's reprimand, everyone immediately quieted down.

"I want Shiochimaru to inherit the family governor, what do you think?" After everyone quieted down, Otomo Yoshikan took a breath and finally said.

"Huh?"

The retainers in the room suddenly let out a burst of exclamation.

"Lord, no, my family has always had the eldest son as the governor? Now that I am abolishing the elder and the young, I'm afraid it's not appropriate. Saito Harima Mamoru said immediately. Beside him, Kosai Yamato Mamoru, Tsuhisami Misakumori, Taguchi Kurato Saku, and Usuki Kansu all nodded in agreement.

"No, Your Majesty thinks it's a wise move. Shintaro (Otomo Yoshizhen's nickname) is rude and indifferent, obviously not suitable to be the governor, and Shioichimaru is wise and knowledgeable, and he is actually the best candidate for the governor. At this time, Irita Kinsei, who was the father-in-law and teacher of Otomo Yoshizhen, suddenly agreed, and the leader of the Bungo Navy behind him, Wakabayashi Echigomori, immediately agreed.

Wakabayashi Echigomori is related to Shioichimaru's mother, and it was through his relationship that Shioichimaru's mother became the current head mother of the Otomo family. So it's not surprising that Wakabayashi Echigo Mamoru supports Shiochimaru.

On the contrary, Irita Qincheng suddenly supported Shioichimaru, which surprised everyone. After all, as the father-in-law and teacher of Otomo Yoshijin, he should support Otomo Yoshizhen. This is basically tantamount to a betrayal of Otomo Yoshijin. And the culprit for this result is Otomo Yoshijin himself.

Before and after the official name of Otomo Yoshijin after the Motofu period, Otomo Yoshijin's mother passed away. Subsequently, his father, Otomo Yoshikan, married another stepwife. A series of blows made Otomo Yoshijin's character gradually become rough and cold as he grew up. At the same time, he also became playful and even developed a pathological hobby (such as liking expensive tea utensils and playing with wives).

Because he usually treats his wife (that is, Irita's daughter) roughly, he even had a fierce conflict with Irita's daughter when he robbed a commoner's wife to play with him. On that occasion, Otomo Yoshijin even officially stated to his wife that he would divorce her after inheriting the family governorship. Otomo Yoshijin is not joking, according to what Irita's daughter knows about him, he will really be able to do such a thing in the future. So she immediately cried to her father about it.

And because he was too close to Otomo Yoshizhen and got along for too long, he really understood Otomo Yoshizhen's personality, which made him disgusted with Yoshijin's character from the bottom of his heart, Irita Qincheng immediately made the decision to betray Otomo Yoshijin, and then fell to Shioichimaru without hesitation. For this reason, he has privately reached an agreement with Shioichimaru's mother.

As Irita supported Otomo Yoshiken to abolish Chang Liyou, chaos immediately engulfed in the room. The retainers divided into two camps and quarreled with each other directly. During the quarrel, they even forgot about Otomo Yoshikan, who tried to interrupt the retainers' quarrel several times.

"Wow!" Seeing that his voice was too weak, the child could not stop the quarrel of the retainers. In the bed, the angry Otomo Yoshikan spat out a mouthful of blood again. Then he suddenly felt cold all over his body, and his eyelids began to droop slowly and unstoppably.

"Is this the end of my life? I don't accept it, my ambition! At the moment when he was about to fall into complete darkness, Otomo Yoshikan's heart cried out unwillingly. At the same time, in a trance, he seemed to see the retainers panicking when they noticed his abnormality.

"Ha Luha, even if I die, there are a lot of retainers who are nervous about me! I'm still in control of their lives and deaths......"

Astronomical 18th year (1549), early March. It was once all the rage in Kyushu. The twentieth governor of the Otomo family, Yoshikan Otomo, who was regarded as the wise lord by all the retainers, passed away (almost a year before the time of his death in history).

And because there was a second-order in the room where he died, he was first seriously injured by being shot by Luo Zhengliang. In the end, he was angry because he was angry by the quarrel of his retainers, so history calls this incident the "second-order collapse change"

Historically, the original "second-order collapse change", but in February of the 19th year of astronomy (1550), Otomo Yoshikan took the opportunity of Yoshitsu Town to Beppu for a hot spring recuperation, and summoned the important ministers Saito Harima Mamoru in the prefecture, Yamato Mamoru Kosai, Yamato Mamoru Kosai, Misaku Tsukumi Mamoru and Taguchi Kuramaru in the prefecture to seek their opinions on the abolition of the town and the establishment of Shioshi Maru. At this time, Yoshikan had made up his mind to let Shioichimaru inherit the family governor, and in order to clear the obstacles, he sent envoys to summon the four of them again, among them, Tsukumi and Taguchi felt that the situation was not good and were absent under the pretext of illness, but Saito and Kosaii were summoned to the scene and were killed by the assassins who had been ambushed by Yoshikan in advance. Tsukumi and Taguchi, who got the news, knew that they would soon be attacked by the main family, so they reacted quickly: counterattacked Yoshikan's castle, entered the museum through the back door, and killed Yoshikan's stepwife and Sueko Shioichomaru between the second order, and Yoshikan himself was severely injured in Kiri, which is known as the "Second Order Collapse Change", and then the inner castle of the Houfu fell into chaos. Yoshijin then raised troops from Beppu, and entered the prefecture with Saeki Yukyo as the forerunner, and accepted Yoshiken's last words in Jujo, becoming the twenty-first governor of the Otomo family.

At this time, in order to avoid being suspected of dying soon, Otomo Yoshikan did not summon Shioichimaru's mother and son and second son, who were still in the Funai Pavilion, to Kakumu Rei Castle. At the same time, there were also a few more retainers who attended the meeting to determine the governor. What's more, his son-in-law, Yoshijin Otomo, is under house arrest as a hostage at Ouchi's house at this time.
