Sena Ujitoshi looked at Imagawa Jimoto in confusion, then turned to look at Sena Ujisada, who was also stunned.
"Sena, just write back and say that although my father does not agree to defect, you are willing to work as an internal agent for the Horikoshi family and spy on information. I hope they will spare my life for this reason."
Imagawa Ujimoto ordered without any doubt. When Sena Shizada was about to speak, he immediately added: "This is an order as the governor of the family."
"The main hall...but I want to be a double agent?" Sena Shitoshi reacted after thinking for a moment, but then he started to tremble with fear, "But if...it was exposed in the end, the enemy would definitely be furious, and wouldn't my mother be even more angry?"
To be subject to…”
"Shut up! You treacherous son!" Sena Shizada was angry and stopped Sena Shitoshi's words, which made the latter tremble. "Don't dwell on your children's personal affairs. You will not only make me and I
The Sena family is in disgrace, and even your mother will be ashamed for raising a coward like you!"
"Yes!" Sena Shitoshi hurriedly leaned over and said respectfully to Imagawa Shimoto, "I accept your order."
"No, you misunderstood. Sena, you can just become a spy. You can do whatever Horikoshi Sadaki wants you to do. You don't need to pass on any false news for us, and you don't need to collect information from the other side."
Yuan shook his head and stopped the excessive association between Sena Shisada and Sena Ujitoshi, "In this case, your daughter can save her life, right?"
"Your Highness, there is no need to worry about your humble concubine, let alone trouble." Sena Shizada took a step forward anxiously, "If Inuko is really allowed to become a spy, how will your Highness put down the rebellion?"
"Is there still one internal agent missing, Sena? My third brother has been setting up the Imagawa Pavilion for so long, so he must have left other internal agents. Information will be leaked anyway, what's the difference if Sena leaks it or someone else leaks it?"
Yuan Qiang held on and boasted, then looked at Sena Ujisada, "Why, Mutsu can't keep his word like me?"
"Of course I don't dare, but in the end... family ties and family interests, personal relationships between children and the loyalty of warriors, which one is more important..."
"My balance between feelings and family interests is different from that of Mutsu Mamoru, and we can't convince each other. There is no need to argue anymore." Imagawa Ujimoto waved his hands repeatedly, and then ordered again, "But this is the responsibility of the family governor.
Order, since the Sena family insists on loyalty, then be loyal to the family governor’s order.”
"Thank you... thank you, Your Majesty!" Sena Ujitoshi was at a loss for words after receiving this order. It took him a long time to hold back the words, and then he kowtowed repeatedly, "Your Highness has a kind heart, and I can't repay you for being smashed to pieces. I am willing to serve Your Highness all my life."
!”
Unlike the grateful Sena Ujitoshi, Sena Ujisada's expression was full of mixed emotions. After a long time, he still bowed to Imagawa Ujimoto and accepted his orders, "Your Highness, in troubled times, people who value emotions cannot survive.
People who value family may be able to keep their relationship."
"No need to say any more, Mutsu Mamoru and my teacher said exactly the same thing, but I have already made up my mind." Imagawa Ujimoto turned away without explanation.
Sena Ji looked at the side face of Imagawa Ji Gen with rapt attention, looking for traces of his ancestors in that appearance. He sighed, looked at both Imagawa Ji Gen and Sena Ji Toshi, and murmured softly.
road:
"You are too gentle. I just hope that your gentleness, which can overly feel the pain of others, will not bring pain to yourself."
At the same time, 35 miles away in the Yinma Castle Castle, Imagawa Yoshizhin was also meditating in the night. The series of failures he encountered in the past ten days and the experience of being hunted like a wild dog completely changed this time travel.
The mentality of the person.
"Before, I was really self-righteous to the extreme... Thinking about it carefully, I was just a middle-class person in my era, but the people I faced were all the leaders of this era. Although I am far superior in terms of overall view and knowledge reserve
They, whether it is modernization reforms or technology trees... can only be realized after they have their own territory, otherwise it will be just a castle in the air. Before that, I was already at a disadvantage when it came to conspiracy.
How can I be careless and underestimate the enemy in front of the prime minister in black? All I can rely on is history. Once history changes its trajectory, I will become an ordinary person."
Imagawa Yoshima walked out of the house and looked at the stars in the night sky. Perhaps they had not changed much over the thousands of years, let alone the hundreds of years he had traveled through. But what he wanted to do was to
To change the history under the stars, the Imagawa family must be reborn from the ashes. He will not forget the embarrassment of leaving the Fukushima family and fleeing first before Hanakura Castle was besieged; he will not forget the embarrassment of the Fukushima family who survived after the Fukushima family died.
Shame when one makes others laugh at oneself.
But he must survive. He is different from the loyal and pedantic warriors of this era. He understands the value of life. He knows that in the original history, the fate of Xuan Guanghui Tan who stayed in Huacang City and died tragically in the temple. So.
Even if he had to bear the humiliation of abandoning the city and abandoning his subordinates, he would refuse Fukushima Masashige's offer to stay and escape from Hanakura Castle. Only by living can he complete what he has to do - save the Imagawa family. For the sake of the Imagawa family
, it doesn’t matter even if he suffers all kinds of humiliation. Because this is the mission passed down from generation to generation by his clansmen in his previous life, it seems to be of great importance.
Now I have another chance, another chance to take back the Imagawa family's governorship. And this time, I won't lose again.
One letter after another requesting the surrender of wealthy families was sent from Kakegawa Castle. Imagawa Shimoto felt that his hand was sore from writing - he had never written so many words so densely since he was a child. He had always been lazy and comfortable and thought about it countless times.
He sneaked away from this high-intensity work to read the flower and bird paintings and Japanese song collection that he bought for Hayasaka Nao, but when he thought of Taiyuan Xuezai's request for him to work diligently - Imagawa Ujimoto decided to be lazy (completely
Taiyuan Xuezhai’s instructions were forgotten).
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Hey, it's better to be lazy and happy!" At this moment, Imagawa Ujimoto is laying the collection of Japanese songs comfortably on the table. He is leaning on the chair and opening the green-edged folding fan.
Catching the wind, I repeatedly recited the best verses in it. "The sky is high and the emperor is far away. The old man can't come here to confiscate my collection of Japanese songs. Flowers, birds, wind and moon are not much more interesting than those complicated official documents. Work is really too tiring.
, I’m so annoyed that my hands are almost broken.”
Before he finished speaking, Nao Hayasaka received a notice from Sena Uji-Sada and Sena Uji-Toshi asking for a meeting. Imagawa Ujimoto didn't pay attention, so he called Sena and his son to come in. Sena Uji-Sada walked a few steps away from Imagawa Ujimoto.
Later, he suddenly found something strange on the table. But his eyesight was not good and he couldn't see clearly, so he took a few steps forward and took a closer look - only then did he realize that it was a collection of Japanese songs.
"Your Highness, at this critical moment, how can you spare the time to recite poems and write poems?" Sena Shisada became anxious. Before Imagawa Shimoto could react, he knelt down and remonstrated sincerely, "The integrity of the Imagawa family is at stake.
, Your Highness should be thinking very hard, how can you waste a moment? If Your Highness does not start working for a moment, I will not get up for a moment."
"Um... what Mutsu Mamoru said..." Imagawa Ujimoto never expected that the old minister who seemed to care a lot about the distinction between monarch and minister yesterday would actually "confiscate" his leisure time by giving advice - could it be that
Is he a workaholic? Forced by his helplessness, Imagawajimoto had to put away the collection of waka in frustration.
"I dare to ask, what is the situation now? How many wealthy families have come to join us?"
"We have already received it from two families, the Shinno family of Funaya City and the Osawa family of Horie City, both of whom have sent their children." Imagawa Ujimoto said as he looked at the two children behind him. The one on the left was already young even though he was young.
The one who is upright is Shinno Yosune's son, Shinno Yoshitsune, who was also a native of Toe who took in Ii Naomasa when the Ii family was in decline.
The one on the right, although still childish, already shows his composure and perseverance, is the eldest son of Osawa Motozo, Osawa Motoin. In the history of his previous life, he was loyal to the Imagawa family. At the last moment of the Imagawa family, even though they were far away,
Jiang has completely fallen into the hands of the Tokugawa family, but he is still struggling to hold on, making it difficult for the Tokugawa family to attack for a long time, and the battle is extremely fierce. It was not until the Imagawa family wrote a letter in person, allowing Osawa Motoin to surrender, that Horie Castle was opened.
It became a popular story.
"Funadani Castle is in our Takaten God Castle, southeast of Kakegawa Castle, and the Shinno family has raised troops to support us. However, Horie Castle is close to the east bank of Hamana Lake, surrounded by the Iio family and the Horikoshi family's territory, and is isolated and helpless.
, so he did not dare to raise his troops openly, so he secretly expressed his submission."
"Children of loyal ministers." Sena Shizada saluted the two juniors with great admiration, which scared the two children to the point of returning the salute again and again. "In this way, our military strength has increased by 400."
"The Ii family of Iidani Castle, the Amano family of Inui Castle and other powerful people have also promised to help." Imagawa Ujimoto looked at the direction to the north and smiled very easily, "But they don't seem to be willing to give away the hostages, maybe that's the case.
You want to maintain a certain degree of independence. Once we put down the rebellion, we should send our children."
"How can Your Highness, the Governor, be so gullible?" Sena Shizada frowned upon hearing this, and turned to Imagawa Gendao very seriously, "Let's not mention the debate the day before yesterday, but Your Highness still needs to listen to this matter. In the troubled times of the Warring States Period,
Not everyone is a gentleman who promises a lot of money like His Highness. To the people of the country, breach of contract and deception are as common as drinking water and eating. It is just a piece of empty paper and cannot explain anything. They may be just making false promises, secretly still working with Imagawa Yoshi.
Really close."
"Then I can't verify the authenticity, but I think I'm pretty sure." Imagawa Ujimoto confidently pointed to the letter he was drafting on the table, "I got the help from my mother and all the important officials.
The official governor recognized by us, but my third brother is the traitor who murdered the former lord. It is clear who is on the side of justice. How could the Imagawa retainers in Yueji abandon the orthodox governor and follow the murderer?"
"Your Highness is still too young, but this kind of thing cannot be rushed." Sena Shisada sighed, "Sometimes things are not as black and white as you think."
