Chapter 5: Genealogy of the Retainers

Kyoto Higashi-Sanjo Main Road, Oda House Kyoto Office.

Katsushin followed his teacher Megumi and watched him talk and laugh with Murai Sadakatsu and the others.

Katsushin saw a samurai with thinning hair and a little old age walking in and sitting cross-legged, and said to Murai Sadakatsu with some excitement:

"Murai-sama, I've found out that those ronins are former ministers of the Izumo Niko family, and they are not looking for revenge as Shinmiya and others said, but they want to ask Katsushin to return to the vulgar and revive the Niko family."

"Oh?"

Murai Sadakatsu was quite surprised, although he didn't know much about the affairs of the western country before, but the Oda family had to start caring about all parts of the world after going to Luo, and this Izumo family was not destroyed by the Maori family a long time ago.

Not only Murai Sadakatsu was surprised, but Katsushin was also unexpected, looking for me to revive the Niko family? Although Katsushin doesn't know the specific historical details, the Maori family still knows that the Yin and Yang Liangdao and the Maori Yuan are heroic figures, and the famous loyal minister Yamanaka Kanosuke didn't run around in order to revive the Niko family, and was finally defeated and killed.

Just when Katsushin was surprised, the warrior said to Katsushin with his hands on the ground excitedly:

"I really envy the Katsushin Palace, if I, Hideyoshi, can have such a loyal retainer, I will definitely give more credit to the lord."

"This ......"

Katsushin looked at Hideyoshi's wide open eyes, didn't know how to answer, looked at this short Hideyoshi with washed hair, but then reacted, could it be Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the future?

"Victory Heart Palace?"

Katsushin was awakened from Hideyoshi's thoughts and realized that he had lost his temper, so he hurriedly smiled at Hideyoshi:

"It turned out to be His Royal Highness Hideyoshi! I had heard that the Oda family was full of talents, but today I saw His Royal Highness Murai and His Royal Highness Hideyoshi to know that the name is well deserved. ”

"Really? Haha, all this is the wisdom of the lord, and I will definitely do my best to give more credit to the lord. ”

Bang bang bang!

Murai Sadakatsu tapped the floor with a folding fan with some dissatisfaction, interrupting Katsushin and Hideyoshi's boring touting:

"Let's get down to business first."

Hideyoshi had no choice but to put away his expression and sit down obediently, after all, Murai Sadakatsu is the Oda family's pen, and he is deeply trusted by the lord, and he doesn't dare to be too presumptuous.

Murai Sadakatsu said to Tofukuji Megumi and Katsushin with a straight face:

"In any case, Shinmiyaya and others are armed to make trouble, which violates the laws of the Oda family, and we are ordered by the lord to stay in Kyoto to deal with government affairs, and the most important thing is to stabilize the order of Kyoto."

Murai Sadakatsu changed his words again:

"Tofukuji Temple and my Oda family have always been harmonious, and they have been praised by the lord, but Kyoto is in ruins, and we will immediately rebuild the imperial palace for His Royal Highness the General......

Looking at Murai Sadakatsu's hint, the corners of Huisheng's mouth curled slightly, of course he understood what it meant; Just when he was about to choose to compromise, Shengxin was the first to speak:

"Shinmiyaya is willing to invest a thousand kanbun to support the construction of the Imperial Palace of His Royal Highness the General, and I wish His Royal Highness the General an early arrival at the Imperial Palace, and the Oda family's martial arts fortune will be prosperous!"

Murai Sadakatsu didn't expect Katsushin to agree so simply, and besides, he said it so nicely; So he smiled and quipped to Huisheng:

"He is worthy of being Master Huisheng's beloved disciple! There will be something to be done in the future. ”

"Murai-sama said that Tofukuji will strictly restrain his subordinates and fully support the Oda family's stability in Kyoto."

After all, the stability of Kyoto is also very beneficial to Tofukuji Temple, and since the temple has already reached an agreement with the Oda family, it does not hurt to say so.

Murai Sadakatsu also directly ordered people to release people.

Huisheng went directly back to Tofukuji Temple under the escort of several monks and soldiers, and let him solve the mess of Shengxin directly.

Somewhat strangely, Hideyoshi was enthusiastic about personally taking Katsushin to the courtyard where everyone was temporarily imprisoned; Shengxin always felt that this smiling "His Royal Highness Taiko" was a little too enthusiastic, after all, he had only known each other.

"Let me tell you, Lord Murai didn't mean to embarrass you, the lord ordered him to raise money and food to build the general's palace, where are other daimyo willing to contribute money to this kind of general's highness, I haven't seen him laugh during this time."

"His Royal Highness Hideyoshi is really a quick talker, and he must be very respected by His Highness Oda, and it is also an honor for us to be in harmony with the Oda family."

"Hahaha, Shengxin, you always speak so happily."

Under Hideyoshi's orders, all the Oda family Ashigaru withdrew from the courtyard, and Katsushin walked into front of everyone side by side with Hideyoshi.

Evil Hachiro was originally staring at Yamanaka Kanosuke and the others viciously, but when he saw that Katsumi was coming, he hurriedly felt a little aggrieved and didn't dare to speak.

Katsushin looked at Hachiro with an angry face, and pretended to reprimand:

"Do you know it's wrong?"

Yasachiro turned his head a little angrily, but he still nodded, but then Katsushin's actions moved him.

I saw Katsushin take off his turban and wrap the wound on Evil Hachiro's arm:

"To have a companion like Hachiro is the greatest blessing in Katsushin's life."

A smile immediately appeared on the big black face of Yashiro:

"Boss, let me tell you that those ronins are no match for me at all, ouch! The boss tapped, it hurts. ”

"I can't stand this pain, it's terrible! Take everyone back quickly, I have asked Sheng Feng to find a good doctor for everyone to treat their injuries, and the brother who died will bring his family to the new palace house, and he can't leave them alone. ”

Evil Hachiro nodded movingly, that's why everyone is willing to serve the boss, in this troubled world where human life is like a mustard, how lucky it is to meet the master family who treats them so well.

After explaining the evil hachiro, Katsushin and his senior brother Katsumasa let the monks get their weapons back, and asked them to go to Shiniyaya to receive the money alone, which was regarded as a thank you, and immediately made the monks cheer and leave happily.

Katsushin finally turned his attention to the seven ronin, but Hideyoshi had already returned their sabers one by one, talking and laughing with them, laughing from time to time, and there was no Oda samurai at all.

Tachihara Hisatsuna bowed to Katsushin on one knee and said:

"In the lower Liyuan Taibei Jiugang, I have seen the young master."

At this time, the others hurriedly followed suit:

"Participate in the young master in Shimomaki City."

"In the lower three knife houses, Jia Zhong will see the young master."

"In Shimohirano, add a guard to Shengqing to participate in the young master."

"In the lower Endo Shikuro for a long time, I will see the young master."

"Under ...... Hachiro Yoshida Hisamori See ...... Young master. ”

Yamanaka Kanosuke stepped forward, looked Katsushin up and down, and bowed down:

"Yamanaka Shijiro is lucky, see the young master."

This scene made Victorious feel at a loss, what are these people trying to do?

"Wait...... You are the old ministers of Nizi, even if you want to call the young master, you should go to the son of Nizi Haruhisa or Nizi Yoshihisa! I am from a separate family, and I am also a person who was ruined by your former master's family, how can He De be your young master. ”

In the face of Shengxin's words with a gun and a stick, everyone was a little ashamed, and only the youngest Maki Yoshi stood up and said angrily:

"When the Xingong Party rebelled, it was an order from the Qing Jiu Gong, and the retainers had to act according to their orders, besides...... Nizi Guojiu and your father were too rude, which made the countrymen and wealthy people complain, and they brought about their own destruction. ”

Tachihara Hisatsuna didn't expect this guy to be so straightforward, he wanted to stop Maki and Ichi, but found that Katsushin didn't laugh angrily:

"Hahaha, Nizi Kunijiu and Nizi Chengjiu have nothing to do with me, I naturally know the grievances between them and Nizi Qingjiu, and I don't blame any of you, but why did you choose me to be your lord, are there no other descendants of Nizi?"

Nonsense! Do you still need to find it? Hachiro Yoshida slandered in his heart.

Moreover, the Maori family searched for the descendants of the Nizi family in Yin and Yang, and killed people all over the place, even if there were still them, they didn't know where they ran incognito at this time.

Shikanosuke stood up and said to Katsushin:

"The loyal ministers of the Nizi wandering all over the country do not want to restore the name of the Nizi family for a moment, and we give the loyalty of this life to the Nizi family, and we do not hesitate to fight to the death; If you are willing to die in the temple as a descendant of the long-lasting prince, who in the world will remember Nizi again? You have to remember that you are the blood of the Nizi family. ”

At this moment, Katsushin was a little moved, and he suddenly remembered that it was the Niko Zaixing Army led by Yamanaka Kanosuke, who insisted on fighting against the Maori family, and was finally defeated and killed, and was a model of loyalty in textbooks until later generations.

He sighed:

"The Maori family is too powerful to win, so why do you insist on reviving the Nizi family?"

Maki Yoshi replied loudly:

"My father and brother both died at the hands of Yoshikawa Motoharu, and I will never die with the Maori family."

Shikuro Endo replied, "It's the same down there." ”

Sandaoya Jiazhong said: "Sandaoya once betrayed Nizi, and I don't want to live in the world as a traitor." ”

Yamanaka Kanosuke replied:

"I once swore to the new moon that I would rather suffer from the heavens than revive the Nizi family, and I will die without regrets!"

At this moment, Shengxin was silent, he didn't know how to face these persistent people, he originally thought that he had seen through the red dust, but why was there another voice calling him in his heart.

He walked out of the courtyard without saying a word, and Shikanosuke and the others hurriedly followed; Kinoshita Hideyoshi, who left a wry smile:

"Is this the genealogy of generations of retainers who have served the house of the Lord for generations? I really envy that kid! ”

Hideyoshi came up with the idea of recruiting them as retainers when he saw that both Yamanaka Kanosuke and Tachihara Hisatsuna were rare talents, so he had always treated them warmly, but this scene in front of him made him realize that he would never be able to make them loyal to him;

But he was not discouraged, and became more determined to establish his own genealogy of the retainers, and the children of his relatives in the family were not bad, and they must be cultivated well.
