Renjing Jiaye was obviously shocked by Yu Qiuping's words, and his expression was a little puzzled and surprised. However, he was not willing to be at a disadvantage because he lost his grace, so he pretended to be calm and said, "Why did your Highness say this?"
?”
"In short, you and I are like grasshoppers on a rope now." Yu Qiuping picked up the tea on the table in front of him and drank it in one gulp, and then said softly, "Your Highness Renjing, do you understand?"
"I don't understand, we are clearly enemies." Renjing Jiaoye's reply was quite straightforward, "Please make it clear, His Highness the Ministry of Governance."
"Okay, let's discuss it in categories." Whenever there is a complicated situation that comes to mind, Yu Qiuping will pick up the magic weapon he used to solve math and physics problems in high school, "They are all from the Wu family, so I just speak straightforwardly.
Don’t be surprised, Your Highness Wang Renjing.”
"Your Majesty, please excuse me." Renjing Jiaye nodded slightly. He had great respect for the Yuqiu Hongye in front of him who killed him with less than half of his troops on the battlefield.
"If my lord is really impulsive and kills the two Hatano Highnesses, what will you do to me?" Yu Qiuping stretched out three fingers and counted them one by one, "If you kill me, what will you do to me?"
It is the most unlucky ending. The Tsui family and the Hatano family will form a bloody feud with the Oda family and the Uaki family. The Akechi family, the Ikeda family, the Hashiba family and other families that are old to me will also hate you and the Hatano family to the bone.
There is no doubt that the Hatano family and the Renjing family will definitely be changed, and your entire family is also at risk of being slaughtered. Even if you escape by chance, you will spend the rest of your life being hunted by many ninjas."
Although Yu Qiuping's words were aggressive, Renjing Jiaye had to admit that he was telling the truth. He did not refute, but nodded slightly.
"If you let me go, it is indeed possible to obtain a lenient result for the Hatano family and the Utsui family. The question is, what will the angry and angry Hatamoto samurai of the Hatano family think of you? They will think that you sell out to others for glory, and that you are greedy for life and afraid of death.
, you will spend the rest of your life in infamy, and you may even be assassinated by these radical warriors."
"If you hold me as a hostage, the decision-making power will return to the lord." Yu Qiuping snapped back the last finger, and then popped two more fingers in the direction of Renjing Jiaye, "If the lord doesn't
Ignore you, continue to attack Bashang Castle, and you will have to face the two situations of killing me before or letting me go. If the lord is willing to negotiate with you, but he must also hold a grudge against you in his heart. After the matter is completed, sooner or later he will find an excuse.
Pack yours."
"His Royal Highness Zhaozhibu said that I will not end well no matter what, right?" What Yu Qiuping said was not something that Renjing Jiaye had not considered before. In his position, he is like a hot potato.
, must bear responsibility.
"As long as the lord kills the two Hatano-samas, His Highness Renjing will do no good. And there will be no good results for me. It depends on how your Highness Renjing handles me. But if His Highness himself has no good results, how can he become so powerful?
Are you kind enough to help me?" Yu Qiuping smiled and retracted his hand, picked up the empty cup on the tatami, and fiddled with it casually, "So I said, you and I are grasshoppers on the same rope."
"So? What does Your Highness want to explain?" Renjing Jiaye was not led by Yu Qiuping, but asked in a low voice, "Is it just to tell me that I am finished?"
"No, only if the lord kills His Highness Hatano, His Highness Renjing will be finished." Yuqiuping shook his head and looked at Renjing's teachings, "In other words, as long as His Highness Hatano's life is saved, the Yuqiu family and the Oda family
If we work with the Hatano family and the Tenui family, they won't fall into a life-or-death situation."
"But doesn't His Highness Oda have the final say whether to kill the lord? What does it have to do with me?" Renjing Jiaye snorted angrily, "My lord believed in His Highness Oda's sincerity and went to Kyoto to negotiate, but now he has
If your life is at stake, isn't everything in His Highness Oda's hands? I heard that His Highness Jibu and His Highness Akechi rushed back yesterday to persuade His Highness Oda not to kill innocent people indiscriminately, and they didn't stop him, right?"
"That's why I entered the city." Yu Qiuping nodded matter-of-factly, as if he wasn't embarrassed at all, "My lord doesn't care about the life of His Highness Mingzhi's mother, but he cares about my life. As long as I'm in Bashang City, he won't dare to kill me.
Your Highness Hatano."
"But this way of treating the symptoms rather than the root cause, I can't stay here forever, and the Lord will not allow me to stay here forever." Yu Qiuping said to himself again, shook his head, and then looked at Renjing Jiaye, "You
Do you know the fundamental reason why my lord wanted to kill Hatano-sama?"
Renjing Jiaye did not answer, but looked at Yu Qiuping calmly. Yu Qiuping smiled and had no choice but to continue on by himself, "It's because the original plan to transfer the territory was disrupted by His Highness Hatano."
"Why did His Highness Hatano disrupt the situation?" Yu Qiuping reasoned step by step, leading Renjing Jiaye to look forward, "That's because he told His Highness Yamana and His Highness Isshiki about the arrival of the Mouri family's aid. The balance of strength between the two sides allowed
They both dare to be tough."
"In other words, as long as the strength is no longer balanced, neither His Highness Yamana, His Highness Isshiki, nor His Highness Hatano can be tough anymore, and can only obediently accept the lord's plan to transfer territory. At that time, it will not be possible at all.
The conflict has been resolved, and the lord no longer needs to kill His Highness Hatano." Yu Qiuping paused and pointed at Renjing's teachings, "And Your Highness Renjing, you don't have to face such a dead end."
"So? How to make the strength no longer balanced?" Renjing Jiaoye asked inexplicably. The calm attitude just now was also shaken by Yu Qiuping's lobbying.
"It's very simple." Yu Qiuping smiled and spread his hands, "Yachami Castle surrendered, the Hatano family lost their home city, the Maori army lost the goal of rescue, and the strength was no longer balanced."
"His Highness came in at risk and said so much, so it turns out that he is here to persuade you to surrender?" Renjing Jiaoye was embarrassed and annoyed when he heard this, and smiled disdainfully, "Then why did Your Highness bother to come in by yourself? Isn't it the same as sending an envoy directly?"
"It's different." Yu Qiuping shook his head, "If I send an envoy, it is very likely that the lord will have killed His Highness Hatano before you agree to surrender. By then, you and I will be in a fight to the death, and you will not
Probably surrendered."
"His Royal Highness Zhibu means that you came here specifically for our benefit?" Renjing Jiaye bent down slightly and looked at Yu Qiuping sarcastically.
"No, I came here to save His Highness Ming Mingzhi's mother." Yu Qiuping shook his head and admitted very frankly.
"Then I will also tell your highness my answer." Renjing Jiaye adjusted his sitting posture and said to Yu Qiuping in a very serious voice: "The Renjing family has served the Hatano family for generations, and will never sell out to seek glory. Kaicheng
surrender."
After hearing Renjing Jiaye's reply, Yu Qiuping, instead of showing an expression of appreciation, showed a sarcastic smile - which made Renjing Jiaye a little angry.
"My loyalty does not need to be appreciated by someone like Your Highness who has taken refuge in the enemy." Renjing Jiaye replied in a neither humble nor condescending manner, "If there is nothing else, please go back to the dungeon, Your Highness."
"You are not loyal to the Hatano family at all, you just want to hold on to the good reputation of the Nei family and your own reputation." Yu Qiupei stimulated the nerves of Nei Jiaye with words that were very harsh for a samurai.
"Why do you say that?" Renjing Jiaye glared at Yu Qiuping.
"Because you just made the stupidest answer for the master." Yu Qiuping restrained his smile and said in a very serious voice, "If you refuse to open the city, the final result will be what I have already said before.
It's very clear. The Hatano family has been reorganized and the whole family has been slaughtered. Even if someone escapes, he will be hunted all day long. In order not to bear the reputation of being a traitor and seeking glory, you would rather let the master's family be destroyed. Is it possible?
Shouldn’t you say that?”
"His Royal Highness, Zhibu, is so sharp-tongued. How can he describe sticking to the city as so unbearable?" Renjing Jiaye retorted angrily, but he couldn't help but feel a little touched in his heart.
"That's the fact. Is there anything I said before that was wrong?" Yu Qiuping shook his head unmoved, "If Your Highness Renjing really wants to discuss a way out, don't use those ethics and morals as the guideline.
On the line."
"Where can I get it?" Renjing Jiaye said in a dissatisfied voice.
"There are many loyal warriors in the world, but in the past hundred years of the Warring States Period, countless families of loyal warriors have perished. Why?" Yu Qiuping ignored Renjing's teachings and said to himself, "Because their families
No one wants to do dirty things, and everyone wants to leave a good name. What a family really needs are people who are willing to bear the infamy in order to protect the family."
"Standing on the castle and being loyal to the two killed His Highnesses to the end will indeed leave a mark in history - but the cost is that the two His Highnesses who could have survived and the Hatano family that could have continued will disappear into the dust of history."
Renjing Jiaye was stunned when he heard this. He didn't know what to say for a while. Yu Qiuping did not rush to continue, but patiently waited for him to think for himself. The words had already been said to this point, and sensible people would understand.
It's just that this reason is so weird, and it is completely contrary to the moral principles of the samurai. This is the tragedy of troubled times. In troubled times, only good people cannot survive.
And I happen to be a bad good person, right? A good person, but now I am urging others to be bad people. A person who lives in the light, but I am urging others to escape into the darkness.
"On the one hand, it is the continuation of the Hatano family name, the life and death of the two highnesses of the Hatano family, and on the other hand, your good reputation, Your Highness Renjing." Yu Qiuping paused and spoke slowly. At the same time, he raised his hand and pointed towards Renjing.
The teaching career took a hit.
"Make a choice without regrets."
