"Chibei, during my absence, is there anything unusual at home and in the territory?" Finally, Yu Qiuping turned his attention to Naoe Tadahira.
His current identity is similar to that of the Yuqiu family's Bitou family elder and general manager, who is responsible for handling all complicated matters. Annual taxation, territorial management at all levels, management of factories opened by businessmen, placement of immigrants, and personnel transfers
Promotions, official assessments, schools for the children of martyrs, communication between various fields, road repairs, general invitations to the city, the annual expansion of Maple Leaf Mountain Castle, exchanges with the Oda family...many troublesome things that Yu Qiupei is too lazy to think about.
, all are handled by Naoe Tadayei. When Yu Qiupei is away on an expedition, Naoe Tadayei will take charge of the government affairs of the Yu Qiu family together with Imagawa Kaede as one of the five soldiers. Kaede Imagawa generally does not interfere too much in political affairs.
, but expressed support in the form of being subordinate to Naoe Tadayei's order.
Amano Keitoku is ruthless, Takenaka Shigeharu is good at planning, Sanada Masayuki is smart, and Sena Jieyi is capable. In addition to Naoe Tadayei, the other four members of Amaki Gobei all have distinctive characteristics, and Naoe Tadayei is comparable to the four of them.
He seems unremarkable, and even in the eyes of outsiders, his talent and fame are far less than those four people. But in fact, having no characteristics is the best characteristic. He is like a clear water, able to reconcile various forces in the rain.
Under the bright light of Qiupei, she is willing to be the shadow and take care of the trivial matters for him - just like the role Lin Xiuzhen played in Oda's family, and just like Lin Xiuzhen's guidance to Naoe Tadayei more than ten years ago.
Naoe Zhongping is also the closest person to Yu Qiuping. After all, among the backbone of the Yu Qiu family, he and Charlie were the first to follow Yu Qiuping. They have been with Yu Qiuping since he was a settler. Therefore, he can also
Gain Yu Qiuping’s unconditional trust.
"There is no problem with the territory, please rest assured, Your Highness." Naoe Tadayei's answer always makes Yu Qiuping feel comfortable. This capable subordinate can always handle Yu Qiuping's seemingly troublesome matters in an orderly manner.
"It's just at home...it seems that there are some things that need to be resolved by Your Highness." Naoe Tadahei hesitated for a moment, but finally raised the topic, "Young Master and Second Young Master..."
"I know, I will go and talk to them." Yu Qiuping sighed after hearing this, and a sense of powerlessness made him hold his forehead deeply. He was busy with government affairs and war, and did not pay enough attention to his two children. He
I thought that the conflict between Yu Qiu Shang and Yu Qiu You was just a normal conflict between brothers, but I didn't want it to turn into this.
"Okay, you all go back and do your work. I have a general understanding of the situation." Yu Qiuping looked at the direction of the sun and knew that it was already a long time before sunrise. "I have something else to do. If I don't go, it will be late."
·
Yu Qiuping hurriedly rode away from Maple Leaf Mountain City and headed straight to the foothills of Maple Forest Mountain to the east of Maple Leaf Mountain City. It was the cemetery of Yu Qiu's family's fallen soldiers. After this battle, I'm afraid there were too many wooden signs hanging on the maple trees.
Young Master. After bypassing the maple forest, Yu Qiuping came to a hill in Dongshan - there is the tomb of Asai Nagamasa. Whenever he did not need to go on an expedition, he would come here to visit every morning without hesitation, and he would go there with him.
Ah Shi came to chat for a while.
But today, he came a little late, and he hadn't left yet.
"Brother Hongye." Ah Shi heard the sound of horse hoofbeats and turned around, waving hello to Yu Qiuping on the hill. Yu Qiuping felt relieved to see that Ah Shi was in good spirits.
She finally came out...it was not easy. Changzheng, you must be very happy in Heaven.
"Why did you bring him so much wine?" Yu Qiuping got off his horse and walked to Ah Shi, only to find several glasses of wine placed in front of Asai Nagamasa's tomb. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Are you going to drink him to death?"
"
"We need to train him, otherwise when our family is reunited in the future, Chacha and the others can drink better than him, wouldn't he be embarrassed?" Ah Shi smiled and picked up a glass of wine, took a sip himself, and poured the rest of the wine.
In front of the tomb.
"However, it is said that your son, like Changzheng, cannot drink. Before, he secretly drank some wine from the guard and immediately became drunk and unconscious." Yu Qiuping looked at Ah Shi and her with a smile.
Mentioned the news about their young son who was rescued by Uchiha Aooka.
"He..." Ah Shi was about to ask, but he suddenly covered his mouth, "No, I won't ask. Don't tell me his information and whereabouts. I'm afraid I'll let it slip.
If Oda Nobunaga finds out, he will send people to kill him."
After hearing that Aichi still called Oda Nobunaga by his first name, Yu Qiuping sighed slightly in her heart. Although she came out of her sadness, she could not let go of her hatred for Oda Nobunaga.
"Later, did you go see your brother again?"
"No, I have nothing to say to him." Now that Aichi mentioned Oda Nobunaga, he was much calmer than before. However, this calmness was full of cold determination. "For my own benefit, I will
My sister was married into his family as a gift, and then he single-handedly destroyed my sister's hard-won happiness. It's okay not to have a brother like this."
"The tragedy of political marriage...something that can't be helped. Of the children of the Wu family...how many of them can achieve true happiness?" Ah Shi shook his head, and the sadness on his face made Yu Qiuping feel a little distressed.
"Sometimes I envy Sister Feng'er." Ah Shi suddenly changed the topic and his eyes were filled with light, "How wonderful it would be to be able to marry the person you love, to be able to marry someone who loves you so much.
Happiness? Brother Hongye is such a gentle and good man. I am truly lucky to be your wife."
"That's right." Before Yu Qiuping could reply, Ah Shi suddenly frowned, and the happy look on his face quickly disappeared, replaced by nervousness and worry, "Do you know? What happened to Chacha and Shang'er?"
"Are you saying that they are very close and often play together?" Yu Qiuping nodded, "Of course, I showed up a long time ago."
"We're not getting close, maybe we've already started dating." Ah Shi sighed, his tone a little melancholy, but also with a hint of innocence and yearning like a little girl, "That kid Chacha, you thought you could hide it from me.
, dragging Achu and Ajiang to lie to me. Every time I have free time, I sneak out to play with Shang'er, and I pester Shang'er every day."
"Isn't this great? They are childhood sweethearts. It would be great if they could really make it to the end." Yu Qiuping thought of Yu Qiu Shang's shy look when he saw Cha Cha, and couldn't help but smile. But he said
As he was talking, he suddenly froze, Amano Keitoku’s previous reminder echoed in his ears.
·
"Not only does His Highness need to stay away from Mrs. Ashi. His Highness should also pay attention to the relationship between the Young Master, the Second Young Master, and Asai Chacha."
"It's just kids playing house." Yu Qiuping understood what Amano Jingde was referring to, but for the sake of inner peace, he still reluctantly argued.
"That is also a girl who harbors a deep hatred for the Oda family. She is the orphan of Asai Nagamasa." Amano Keidei broke Yu Qiuping's fantasy with a cold voice, and directly said what Yu Qiuping was thinking in his heart, "
If both young masters get too close to Chacha, even if the Oda Palace doesn’t want to interfere with the Yuqiu family’s heir issue, it won’t be able to help it.”
"I understand." Yu Qiuping nodded somewhat heavily, then stood up and left. When he walked to the door, Amano Jingde gave his final advice in a low voice.
"Flowers with thorns are almost ominous."
·
"What do you mean..." Yu Qiuping pondered and looked at Ah Shi.
"Chacha is an orphan of the Asai family... Do you think she hates the Oda family in her heart? Originally, Sister Feng'er was already an orphan of the Imagawa family, and now Brother Hongye wants Sister Feng'er's child to marry an orphan of the Asai family.
, do you think Oda Nobunaga will agree? Will he let the mother and wife of his top heir be women who harbor hatred for the Oda family?" As Aichi said this, tears suddenly escaped from his mouth.
He came out, and his eyes were covered with a light mist, "Including me... I am also an unknown person. Brother Hongye, you should stay away from us in the future. Also talk to Shang'er and ask him to leave Chacha.
Well, the Chacha Party killed him. This is our fate, this is the tragedy destined for us Wu family women..."
After saying this, Ah Shi suddenly turned away to prevent Yu Qiuping from seeing her tears. But how could she conceal her slightly trembling body and low sobbing?
"I don't."
Until this firm voice sounded in my ears.
Ah Shi turned around in shock and found that Yu Qiuping's eyes were also red. However, there was a flicker of determination in his eyes.
"I once made a promise with Feng'er that in the future our child will never fall into the tragedy of political marriage, but let him pursue his love and find a partner to spend the rest of his life with." Yu Qiuping looked up at the sky and looked at the horizon.
The clouds are rolling and relaxing.
"I, Yu Qiuping, always do what I say."
"Brother Hongye, this is not a matter for you alone. This is a matter related to the fate of Yu Qiu Ping's family." Ah Shi pulled Yu Qiuping's skirt with his hand and persuaded him in a low voice.
"I have worked hard for more than ten years. If I still can't give my son a happy future, then why am I fighting here?" Yu Qiuping patted Ah Shi's hand that was holding his clothes, "That way.
It’s too frustrating.”
"Brother Hongye, be realistic, things are not that..." Before Ah Shi could finish his words, he was interrupted by Yu Qiuping.
"If I had been a realistic person from the beginning, then there would be no Yuqiu family now." Yu Qiuping shook his head, stood up on his own, and put his hand on Asai Nagamasa's tombstone.
, chuckled and said, "I'm just a fool, the same fool as Nagamasa. Oh no, I'm a bad guy, he's a hot-blooded idiot."
"I firmly believe that every woman in the world has the right to pursue her own happiness. They should not be sacrificed by politics, nor should they be bound by the tragedy of political marriage for life." Yu Qiuping turned around and looked at the unknown person sitting beside him.
Ah Shi, who was at a loss, whispered:
"Chacha is the same, and so are you."
Ah Shi looked at Yu Qiuping, the look in his eyes suddenly wavered.
The way he acted foolishly was exactly the same as that fool.
