As far as I know, His Highness Takeda’s evil deeds are not a secret in the Wu family. As long as we send someone to investigate carefully, there will be results."
Uesugi Teruhora looked at her, and actually he already believed it. How brave is the Minister of Iro? How dare she slander Shiba Yoshigan?
It's just that this matter is really unacceptable to Uesugi Teruhu. She has to doubt Irobu Minami's intentions. Speaking frankly about such scandals for the sake of loyalty? Is this loyalty? Or...retaliation?
The corners of Teru Uesugi's eyes twitched. No matter how he thought about it, Irakabu didn't reveal the truth about this matter.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Terutora Uesugi looked at Irobu Minato with a gloomy look, frightening her so much that she wet her back with cold sweat, her legs and feet became weak, and her fear overwhelmed her resentment.
Seochang's head, which was really hot, finally cooled down from the fear. She felt a little relieved, but even more afraid.
Yoshigan Shiba came to Echigo country and helped Teru Uesugi retain the core Nagao clan on Kawanaka Island, and completely dismantled the Yohoku clan through the Shinhada Rebellion.
This made the Irobe family's situation very embarrassing.
Irobu Katsura is a veteran of two generations. He has contributed to the establishment of the clan, and is responsible for the self-respect of the people in the north. His position in the Uesugi family is very important.
But today's Irobe family is neither above nor below. The Uesugi family is not considered a direct lineage, and without the endorsement of Yangbeizhong, a powerful samurai group, its own value has dropped too much.
All of this was because of Yoshigan Shiba, coupled with Minato Iro's personal resentment, which led her to expose Takeda Harunobu's evil deeds at all costs.
Is it true that no one heard about Takeda Harunobu's dirty work at Shiba Yoshiyin? Why didn't anyone else dig into it or verify it? Are you the wisest person?
Irobe Katsunaga had just fished his daughter out of the nook and cranny of Kitashinano, and was so frightened by the news that he sent her back to her hometown to think about her past. Why is this?
Because if this matter is exposed, it will be of no benefit to anyone!
The samurai family didn't care about the personal relationship between Yoshigan Shiba, Harunobu Takeda, and Terutora Uesugi, they only cared about their own interests.
In the context of Echigo's dual-headed politics, and the Uesugi-Takeda family's strategy of surrounding the Hojo family, no one was willing to reveal Takeda Harunobu's scandal about Shiba Yoshigan's daughter.
The revelation of this matter will not be beneficial to the three Uesugi and Takeda families.
But Minoru Sebashi was deeply resentful and hot-headed, so he suddenly revealed the matter. Teruhora Uesugi was angry that he was kept in the dark, and he had to doubt the intentions of Minoru Sebashi.
It wasn't until this moment that Sebu, who had calmed down, felt scared. This matter seemed to be imagined to be more troublesome, making it even more difficult for him to escape.
She was trembling and wanted to say something, but she didn't dare to speak, so she could only lie down deeply.
Terutora Uesugi's murderous gaze swept across Irocho's solid neck, and finally he took a deep breath and said sternly.
"This matter ends here.
I don’t care where you heard the nonsense, it comes out of your mouth or into my ears, only you and me know it.
Do you understand!"
"Hi!"
Irocho, who was sweating coldly, actually did not get the revenge she imagined, so she kowtowed and agreed.
Terutora Uesugi glanced at her with disgust, raised the wine bottle again, and said calmly.
"Please step back."
Minister Se was relieved, bowed and left the atrium in a hurry.
Uesugi Teruhu held the wine bottle and tried to pour it into her mouth several times, but she couldn't drink it. After a while, she slammed the wine bottle on the ground and roared in a low voice.
"Takeda Harunobu! You bastard! Bastard!"
She stood up, kicked over the empty wine bottles around her, then turned around and shouted.
"Someone is coming!"
Hatamoto behind him stepped forward and bowed to obey the order, Uesugi Teruhora said with a gloomy expression.
"Let Nakanishi come to see me! Now!"
"Hi!"
Nakanishi is the leader of the Xuanyuan Ninja clan under the Uesugi family.
Although Terutora Uesugi had already believed Irocho Minoru's words, she still held on to a glimmer of hope, hoping that Irocho Minoru's news was false.
She wants to investigate this matter thoroughly!
Soon, Zhongxi came to Zhongting.
Just as she was about to salute, she was interrupted by Uesugi Teruhora.
"You go to Kaiguo immediately and find out something for me.
Is Takeda Harunobu’s so-called adopted daughter her biological flesh and blood?
Remember, investigate in secret and don’t let anyone know about it!”
Nakanishi fell to the ground to accept the order, turned around and left. She could see that the master's mood was very unstable and was on the verge of breaking out. She didn't want to get into trouble.
The Xuanyuan ninja of the Uesugi family has a lower status than the Iga ninja of the Shiba family. They are very humble. Only by being cautious can you live longer.
Terutora Uesugi stared coldly at Nakanishi who was leaving. He stood in the atrium without speaking for a long time, wondering what he was thinking.
Until Hatamoto came to inform him, Naoe Kanetsugu asked to come in.
Teruhora Uesugi couldn't help but frown, why is she here? Naoe Kanetsugu is mainly responsible for the affairs of Naoe Jingu Office. Could it be that something happened to the Hokuriku Road trade route?
Because the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Naoe family cooperated with the Shiba family on the Hokurikudo trade route, they had a good relationship. Therefore, Uesugi Teruhora mostly left it to Naoe's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to handle the negotiations for the Kanto Secretariat.
Naoe Keetsuna's domestic affairs in Echigo were complicated, and Naoe Kanetsugu's task was not light. What big thing had happened that required the Naoe family's daughter-in-law to come and report in person?
Could it be... related to the Kanto Secretariat?
Terutora Uesugi's face was cold. Echigo's dual politics made it difficult for her to get involved in the Kanto Secretariat under Yoshigan Shiba. She was constantly restricted in doing things and was quite passive.
The defeat of Shimonoseki this time was also because the Kantō Imperial Court did not listen to the instructions, which resulted in the Echigo army being unable to use half of its strength. This was why the Hojo family took advantage of them.
If Shimakatsu hadn't learned the basics and finally persuaded the Kanto Palace Army to come to the rescue, Uesugi Terutora would have almost been beaten in the defeat.
