Chapter 22: Temptation
Yoshiin and Nobunaga rode side by side on the road to Owaki Castle.
The Lin family made their career in Mino in their early years, and later moved to Owari.
Over the years, the brain has developed well, and by the generation of Oda Nobunaga, he has been a genealogy retainer of the Oda family, and Lin Xiuzhen, the governor of the Lin family, is the old man of the pen family, and the top spot among the retainers.
Of course, such a samurai family business will not be Hanqi, Arako, Owaki, Yoneno Three Castle Territory, Zhixing More than 20,000 stone territory.
Well, Arako City is also her family's, Maeda's family is eating under her, and the mother of the Li family, Maeda Toshimasa, the grandmother of the interests, is the lord of Arako City.
Oda Nobunaga's younger sister Oda Nobuyuki dared to have ideas about the position of the family governor, and the biggest confidence came from the support of the old Lin Xiuzhen of the pen family and the number one fierce general in the family, Shibata Katsuie. Do you say that the Lin family is powerful?
is such a powerful rebel leader, Oda Nobunaga dared to take Yiyin and two people to provoke, and Yiyin really couldn't cry.
But when the leader speaks, no matter how difficult it is, he has to follow it, and he has no choice in being a man.
It's like being a social animal in my previous life. When the leader asks you if you can do it, do you want to think about marrying your wife before you want to refuse? Did you raise a child? Have you paid off your car loan or mortgage? Do you still want to say no? Do you still dare to refuse?
This life is worse than the previous life, the last life refused to hurt money, and this life refused to hurt life. It's all for life, let's go with it.
Nobunaga's interest seemed to be high, and he couldn't see anything to be happy about her current predicament.
"Yoshigin-kun, do you know that my mother-in-law, Michizo Saito, is dead."
"I vaguely heard a little bit in the morning."
Nobunaga raised a pretty eyebrow and smiled a little charmingly, probably remembering last night. Yiyin also has a good aftertaste in his heart, but he still has to pretend to be holy on his face.
"Please mourn Your Highness."
"Hahaha, I'm so happy, this poisonous snake is dead. Unfortunately, it was not the right time to die. ”
How can I take this! Yiyin's chest tightened. Nobunaga continued to ramble.
"Do you know how she died?"
"Please also ask Your Highness to make it clear."
Her eldest daughter, Saito Yoshiryu, tricked the second daughter and the third daughter into being killed in the city, and then raised an army to rebel. It's a ruthless character, what do you think my mother-in-law's mood is in the last battle?
The battle was won, and there was no successor in the family. If you lose, you will also be a rebel who will not be blind.
Hehe, call someone to inform me before the war, don't be in a hurry to avenge her, stabilize the family business slowly, and send Mino to me.
Everyone is dead, the soldiers are scattered, and a fart is sent! Death is not peaceful, this dead viper. ”
Nobunaga said dissatisfied, and Yoshiin listened carefully to the before and after Saito Michizo's death, and continued.
"First set Owari, and then Tu Mino, this is His Highness's plan, and the great cause of the family and country is nothing more than soldiers, horses, and food.
Lord Saito is afraid that His Highness will not avenge her, and this plan is not very decent. The Saito family is not right, and this transfer is really ridiculous. ”
"No, that Saito Yoshiryu killed his mother, and when he turned around, he declared that he was a seed of the Toki family. Pity my mother-in-law, this Saito family is completely dead. ”
Yiyin was dumbfounded when he heard this, and the daimyo who could make things happen in the Warring States really didn't have a fuel-efficient lamp.
In order to stabilize the country, this Saito Yoshiryu used this method to clear his reputation of killing his mother and sister, and he was also shameless to the extreme, and he was not inferior to the obedient Nobunaga.
"In this way, it will be called Toki Yoshiryu in the future?"
"Huh."
Nobunaga sneered.
"Then someone has to believe that the Tuqi family has long been cleaned up by pit vipers, and there is no foundation in the country. However, Yoshiryu's father was born in the declining Isshiki clan, first from the Toki family, and then by Saito Michizo. No, he changed his name to Yishi Yilong, a descendant of three pipes and four positions, so majestic. ”
Glancing at Yiyin, Yiyin had to sigh, he really knows how to play. He, one of the three pipes of the fox and the fake tiger, is really not qualified to talk about people.
At least the family is more than 500,000 stone daimyo, reported to the shogunate, and the shogun pinched his nose to see this strength and recognized it.
After all, the general's family also lacks foreign aid, and the fake Isshiki is also one of the four positions, and Ashikaga is a Miyagata family, and he doesn't want to face for life.
"That's really...
Yiyin thought for a long time, but couldn't hold back a word.
"Anyway, the Saito family is completely finished, and I am annoyed that Nongjun is crying at home, so I simply came out to chat with Lin Xiuzhen and asked her when she would rebel."
Yiyin thought to himself, you just keep acting. Nobunaga may seem moody, but in fact he is an absolute realist.
She only believes in strength, has keen insight and decisive execution. Yoshiin guessed all the way, and his intuition told him that Nobunaga was trying to provoke the rebels and cut through the mess quickly.
It's just that she uses the appearance of the wild waves to cover up the calculating heart, and it is estimated that Isshiki Yoshina's methods make her very vigilant, and she must quickly straighten out the family business in order to cope with the pressure from Mino.
"Is Nong-kun okay?"
Yoshiin led the topic to Nobunaga's main room, and he didn't want to show that he knew Nobunaga too well, who knows if he would be jealous of Nobunaga.
During the Three Kingdoms, Yang Xiu didn't know Cao Cao too well, but he lost his life, sometimes don't show too much, it's safer.
"Man, isn't it just crying. The pit viper really loved him, and when Nongjun married me, he gave him a short knife.
If I don't like him, I'll kill him with a knife. Hehe, fortunately, my Oda Nobunaga worked hard in bed to save my life. ”
Yoshiin reluctantly ignored her, he was used to Nobunaga's teasing from time to time. But in his heart, he knew that this kind of intimacy was not necessarily a good thing for him.
The Israelite man must not last, not to mention the cold and utilitarian Oda Nobunaga, who must show his worth in other ways in order to be able to eat under Nobunaga.
At this time, there is also a discussion in Owaki City.
Owaki Castle is not the kind of big city in Kiyosu, there is barely a mansion in the city that can be regarded as a small castle tower, and the two sisters of the Lin family are discussing the great changes in Mino in the inner room.
"Lord Xiuzhen, Minono's news has been confirmed, Saito Michizo was indeed beheaded by Saito Yoshiryu, and now Mino has fallen into chaos, and Oda Nobunaga's foreign aid has been cut off."
The middle-aged woman who was talking happily was called Lin Tonggu, Lin Xiuzhen's sister, and a powerful retainer in the family.
The person sitting at the top is also a woman, compared to Lin Gutong's aunt, her appearance is a little more charming.
"How can you call the name of the family governor, His Royal Highness Oda has not yet been lowered, and he is still the head of my Lin family."
Lin Xiuzhen said about her sister dissatisfiedly, Lin Gutong muttered pedantic in her heart, but bowed her head respectfully and admitted her mistake on her face.
"In the next gaffe, please Lord Haihan. But are you still hesitating? This is a godsend! ”
Looking at her excited sister, Lin Xiuzhen was indeed hesitating, although she hated Nobunaga's various deviances, but she was the heir designated by the ancestors after all.
On the next gram, the matter of changing the governor is simple, and it is really necessary to do it. Thinking about the grace of the ancestors, thinking about the continuation of the family, there is still no bottom in my heart, and I can't make up my mind.
Lin Gutong persuaded repeatedly, Lin Xiuzhen hesitated, and the two stalemate for a long time, until there was a commotion outside the door.
"Lin Xiuzhen is not here! Are you there! I, Oda Nobunaga, have something to do with you! Open the door! ”
The voice of the letter chief shouting outside the mansion reached far away to the inner room. The two sisters looked at each other. How did she get here?
Lin Gutong nervously opened the door and beckoned the attendant to ask.
"You mean, your Highness rode through the city gate and no one dared to stop him? Straight into the door of the mansion shouting? ”
couldn't figure out Nobunaga's behavior, so Lin Gutong had no choice but to tell his sister the truth.
"Lady Su-jeong, this is a great opportunity! Please order Nobunaga to be captured, and the whole situation can be decided! ”
Lin Gutong said excitedly, but Lin Xiuzhen stood up and reprimanded her.
"Nonsense, since she dares to come, how can she not be prepared, maybe the elite has been ambushed outside the city, my Lin family's army has not yet been gathered, it is easy to break the city and kill you and me."
Lin Gutong was shocked, thinking that this was the truth.
"What then?"
"Invite her in, be respectful, and talk about the day first."
The two women prostrate themselves in the atrium to greet them, and Nobunaga arrogantly walked in from outside the door with Yoshigin.
"Greetings to Your Highness, dare to ask Your Highness what your Highness has to do when you come to Owaki City today."
Lin Xiuzhen asked.
Looking at the Lin family sisters who had met in a proper manner, Nobunaga laughed, patted Yiyin on the side, and squeezed his eyebrows.
"I'm here to tell you that the man next to me is named Spo Yiyin. I brought a man with me, hahahahahaha... ”
Laughing and leaving, Yiyin hurriedly followed, and the two of them ran away after pretending to be forced, which was exciting.
Lin Xiuzhen, who was kneeling on the ground, stiffened, raised her head in disbelief, and only saw the dust raised by the two of them galloping.
When I turned around and saw Lin Gutong's face, didn't you say that she would bring a lot of people to cut us, and suddenly a wave of blood rushed to his head.
"Oda Nobunaga, you deceive people too much! Lin Gutong! Inform Nobuyuki-sama that I, Lin Xiuzhen, invite her to go to Kiyosu Castle to find Oda Nobunaga theory!
Shibata-sama, please send troops too! Nobunaga must be lowered! I'm going to kill her with my own hands! Kill her! ”
