In Kyoto at night, Ikeda Tsuneaki and Sawaki Yoshiyuki were strolling on the streets of Kyoto. After Sawaki Yoshiyuki left Mibuji Temple where Amakihei stayed, he did not go back directly to Toji Temple, but was dragged by Ikeda Tsuneaki on the streets of Kyoto.
Playing in the alley. Seeing that the shops were almost closed, Ikeda Hengxing prepared to go back home in frustration.
"What happened today is really strange." Ikeda Hengxing drank some wine and drunkenly put his hand on Sawaki Yoshiyuki's shoulder, "His Royal Highness Lin is really so afraid of Hongye? He has to risk his own future to get rid of Hongye.
?”
"Who knows?" Sawaki Yoshiyuki sighed and shook his head gloomily. He seemed to be acting up. When he was playing just now, Sawaki Yoshiyuki was a little listless. Although Ikeda Tsuneaki was drunk, he still saw the clues and spoke.
He asked, "Toupachi, what's the matter with you? Why are you so weak?"
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay." Sawaki Yoshiyuki took a deep breath, rubbed his face vigorously with his hands, and excused himself. The two walked along, chatting at random. Sawaki Yoshiyuki struggled for a long time.
In the end, he still kept his temper and waved his hand to push away the surrounding guards.
"Brother Hengxing." Yoshiyuki Sawaki put his arm on Ikeda Hengxing's shoulders, "There is something I want to discuss with you."
"Say." The careless Ikeda Tsuneaki didn't notice that Sawaki Yoshiyuki had sent away the guards from both families, and muttered casually.
"I feel... His Highness Lin's doubts are not necessarily unreasonable. The Yuqiu family is indeed... very strong. And Hongye, the eldest son, may not necessarily be an obedient master in the future." Sawaki Yoshiyuki hesitated, thinking about his words, not knowing what to say.
How to say it best.
"What are you talking about?" Ikeda Hengxing asked dissatisfiedly, obviously not understanding what Ryoyuki Sawaki wanted to say after a long time of ink writing.
"What should you do if... my lord also suspects Hongye in the future?" Sawaki Yoshiyuki gritted his teeth and spit out these words quickly.
"Explain for Momiji? What else can you do?" Ikeda Hengxing replied nonchalantly.
"Then what if the lord wants to take action against Hongye?" Sawaki Yoshiyuki added in a vague voice.
Suddenly a gust of wind came, and the cold wind at night in early spring was still quite cold. Ikeda Hengxing had just been drinking to get warm, so he opened his clothes a lot. The cold wind suddenly hit his neck, and he shivered with coldness and drunkenness.
also gradually disappeared.
"What do you want to say?" Ikeda Hengxing's tone became serious.
"What will we do if the lord takes action against Momiji?" Yoshiyuki Sawaki repeated his question, and the two fell into silence. After a while, Ikeda Tsuneaki slowly spoke:
"My father died early, leaving behind an orphan and a widowed mother. According to my mother, there was no one to rely on at home at that time, and the days were getting harder and harder day by day. Later, the late lord summoned my mother to the ancient wild city and asked her to be his wet nurse.
, so I went to Furuno Castle and played with the lord of my childhood. Hey, the lord back then was really a 'big fool' and would do all kinds of stupid things. Me, Niwa-sama, and others
A few of them were members of the lord's 'Owari Idiot' kid army. Later, my mother became the late lord's side wife, and I also became the lord's breast-brother. We grew up playing together with the lord. My whole body is that of the Ikeda family.
Everything was given by the first lord and lord.
Ikeda Hengxing paused, glanced at the lanterns hanging on the street, and said in a low voice: "You asked me to betray my lord and fight against him with swords. I can't do it, so you might as well kill me."
"Brother Hengxing..." Yoshiyuki Sawaki said worriedly, but was interrupted by Ikeda Hengxing waving his hand.
"But Momiji and I have known each other for 20 years. We have been friends with him since Suruga came to Owari just now. It was your brother Aquan who introduced us to him. At that time, I was sure that this person had an appetite.
I've made a decision to make this friend. Although I'm not a big boy, I'm usually not upright, but Hongye is a few years younger than me, so I always regard him as my younger brother. That guy is just a bad guy, hehe." Tsune Ikeda
As Xing was talking, he suddenly giggled a few times, "People are really nice. I really don't know how such a nice person can survive in this world."
"Topachi, do you think that as we get older, our status increases, and our territory expands, we can no longer go back to the days of drinking flower wine in the castle town of Qingzhou City?" Ikeda Hengxing let go.
The arm resting on Yoshiyuki Sawaki's shoulders, he put his hands behind his head and moved his neck, "Brothers who were so close in the past are now separated from each other. It doesn't matter, my lord, your Agun-san, Tokichiro
That guy, and there are many, many brothers. At that time, they were obviously good brothers who wore a pair of underpants and talked about everything. But now I feel a little unable to see through them. I always feel that they are hiding something from me, and I even want to
You are plotting against me, and you will no longer have any heart-to-heart relations with me."
"I am not exempt from vulgarity. As my status has risen, my person has also changed. What I see in my eyes is fame and wealth instead of the debauchery. I went from being a little-known ashigaru head to now becoming a guardian, which can be regarded as a guardian.
I can leave a few pages in the history of youth. However, my life is not as happy as before. I am always worried about this and that, whether someone wants to steal a piece of my land, and whether someone wants to take a share of my credit..." Ikeda Hengxing
At this point, he let out a long sigh and said, "Human, it's so difficult."
"But the red leaves are different. I feel that no matter how high that guy climbs, he doesn't care about it in his heart. He is still the same as twenty years ago, and he still feels compassion for the little beggar he has never met and insists on taking him home.
He is also a bad person who sincerely cares about his friends." Ikeda Hengxing stretched his hands from behind his head, stretched out comfortably, and let out a long sigh of relief, "I don't have anything.
The ability of a person is not as good as my lord, not as good as Momiji, not as good as Tokichiro and His Highness Niwa, not even your Ainu brother. If I were really capable, you wouldn't be able to 'Owari' one by one.
The king has called me, and I know it myself. As a guardian, I am already beyond my capabilities."
"But, Ikeda Hengxing, even if I am no longer useful in this life, I can't let my friends down." Ikeda Hengxing laughed twice at himself, patted his chest with his hand, and his tone and demeanor returned to the self-proclaimed self.
"Hongye treats me as a brother, so I can't let him down."
On the morning of January 3, the eighth year of Tensho (1580), Akihira Ame, Mitsuhide Akechi, Tsuneki Ikeda, Yoshiyuki Sawaki and envoys sent by important ministers congratulated the representative of the emperor and Nobunaga Oda on the New Year at Nijo Castle. After that, Akihei Ame
Being left alone by Oda Nobunaga. Amakihei thought that Oda Nobunaga would mention the embarrassing incident last night, but Oda Nobunaga was completely indifferent to this.
He almost brushed it off, but mentioned another matter.
"What?" Yu Qiuping was shocked when he heard this, "You want Ajiang to marry Yu Yiwan?"
"After Tokugawa Nobuyasu and Gotoku were expelled, the marriage between the Tokugawa family and the Oda family existed in name only." Oda Nobunaga explained to Akihei Ame, "As an important ally of the Oda family, the Tokugawa family and the Oda family's marriage
The relationship must be maintained through blood or marriage. Since I don't have a suitable daughter now, I plan to adopt one from Ashi as my adopted daughter and marry her to the Tokugawa family."
"Lord, I understand this." The corners of Yu Qiuping's mouth twitched a few times, and he looked at Oda Nobunaga like a freak, "But..."
"I know what you want to say. Ajiang is Asai Nagamasa's daughter. Do you think I will have any scruples about her?" Oda Nobunaga laughed loudly after hearing this, "You still have the nerve to ask this? Is your son married?"
Is she the daughter of the Asai family? If it weren’t for the fact that there was no suitable candidate, and I was too embarrassed to adopt an adopted daughter from a retainer, I wouldn’t have gone to Ajiang.”
"No, that's not what I'm talking about." Yu Qiuping curled his lips in embarrassment and whispered, "A Jiang is only 7 years old this year, and Yu Yiwan... If I remember correctly, he is only 6 years old this year, right?"
"What's this?" This time it was Oda Nobunaga who looked at Yu Qiuping with a look that looked like a freak, "You're not young anymore. You should have a child in four or five years."
"Okay." Yu Qiuping tried his best to calm down his deep hatred of lolicon, and then sighed, "But... Ajiang is still a child after all, so she will marry in a foreign country..."
"Ashi has already agreed, it's not your turn to intervene in this matter." Oda Nobunaga glared at Yu Qiuping angrily and snorted, "Why, do you really think that the engagement contract I made is like tissue paper? Just tear it up if you want.
Tear it up? You broke the promise once for your own son, and now you want to break the promise once for Takechiyo’s son?”
"I don't dare." Hearing this, Yu Qiuping hurriedly leaned over to apologize.
"I'm telling you that I want to give you this task. You go back and prepare for a few days, and then you take Ajiang to Yuanjiang. As the officiant, you will marry Ajiang and Yu Yiwan, and I won't go."
Tian Nobunaga waved his hand as if it was troublesome, "By the way, take the troops. Takechiyo seems to want to attack Suruga of the Takeda family. You are familiar with the terrain, so I will send you as a reinforcement."
"Yes." Although Yu Qiuping felt sad for the wandering fate of the little girl who was only a few years old, he could only reluctantly agree.
In his previous life, each of the three Asai sisters had a bad fate. The eldest daughter Chacha married Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the second daughter A first married to Kyogoku Takatsuki, and the third daughter A Jiang remarried twice, and finally married the son of Tokugawa Ieyasu.
The second-generation general Tokugawa Hidetada. During the Battle of Osaka, Chacha and Ajiang's husband's family had a desperate duel. Achu tried to mediate but in the end it was to no avail. The lives of the three sisters could be described as bumpy.
In this life, perhaps due to the butterfly effect of Yu Qiupei's arrival, Tokugawa Hidetada, who was supposed to be born in the seventh year of Tensho (1579), was not born. After Tokugawa Nobuyasu was deposed, he was not treated as a child since his mother was born humble.
Tokugawa Ieyasu's Yugimaru (that is, Yuuki Hideyasu in his previous life) became Tokugawa Ieyasu's only son, and he was immediately treasured by Tokugawa Ieyasu. However, Ae, who was originally married to Tokugawa Hidetada in his previous life, will have to marry him in this life.
Married to Yu Yiwan.
