"I don't want to die. If I just give up like this, I will die, Master Xue Zhai will die, and Jia Ci will definitely be eliminated by my brother in the future. I can't let them die, so I can't give up, but I don't know either.
What should I say, because I asked myself that I am not as good as Third Brother, which made everyone laugh. And there is little hope of supporting me to fight for the family governor, and the promise of future rewards now is empty talk, but it can only be said."
Imagawa Gengyue became more and more embarrassed as he spoke. The more he spoke, the more he couldn't continue in the eyes of everyone's ridicule. However, he still endured the humiliation and said bravely: "If we can get away with it, the territory of the rebels will be rewarded to the Asahina family."
.I will also lobby other families to ask them to support me..."
"You can't say anything but you still want to support me?" Asahina Kantoku couldn't stand listening any more and snorted disdainfully, "Young master, don't you think you are joking? If you are willing to let you in to lobby, you are already pushing the fate of the Asahina family.
We have reached the edge of the cliff. What should we do if we are later held to have collaborated with the enemy?"
"That's what Lord Tanba Mamoru (Asahina Chitoku) said." Kondo Tadayuki followed immediately and said to Asahina Taino, "Your Highness, please quickly hand over the fourth son to His Highness Ryoma and Odai-don for proof.
The Asahina family is innocent. At the level of the Fourth Young Master, there is no need for us to waste time. It is impossible for him to persuade anyone to support him, and there will be no new supporters."
"Let's just say we took him in under false pretenses in order to lure the remaining members of the Fourth Young Master into being arrested." Asahina Yasunaga glanced at Imagawa Ujimoto with a wry smile, "Fourth Young Master, I'm offended, but we couldn't help ourselves, so don't blame me."
"Yes, this talent is not even one percent as good as the Third Young Master."
"With such eloquence, do you have the nerve to lobby?"
"How can you lobby others and keep saying that you don't want to die when you can't explain any truth or offer any benefits?"
Everyone in the room had ridiculed Imagawa Shimoto to the point of being completely ridiculed. Imagawa Shimoto felt that blood was oozing from his face. However, he still refused to admit defeat and racked his brains to think of ways to lobby, and his eyes were filled with anxiety.
He was red, but still found nothing. For the first time since he was a child, he began to hate his own lack of ability.
However, Asahina Tenno didn't care about this. Instead, he stared at Imagawajimoto with great interest, staring at the eyes that were like the Imagawa family's own god. Looking at the proud young man who has been pampered since childhood, has never suffered many grievances, and is ashamed again and again.
He lowered his head in difficulty, gritted his teeth and raised his head again and again, trying to continue speaking.
"Are you giving up, Fourth Young Master?" Asahina Yasuno looked at Imagawa Ujimoto with a playful look and asked softly, "You can't escape death anyway, so why bother to humiliate yourself repeatedly before you die?"
Imagawa Ujimoto did not answer, but the stubbornness in his eyes already gave the answer.
Asahina Tenno also got the answer he wanted.
"I have decided." Asahina Yasuno slowly stood up, and the room gradually became quiet. Everyone watched Asahina Yasuno point at Imagawa Ujimoto's palm and slowly make a fist——
"Asahina family, the whole family follows the fourth son."
The room suddenly became quieter, and there was a complete silence. Everyone suspected that they had heard wrongly, but the equally surprised expressions of others confirmed to each other that everyone had heard correctly. The most surprised person was Imagawa Ujimoto, who almost
He stared at the sloppy drunkard in front of him in shock. In the end, it was not the Asahina family retainers who broke the silence, but Imagawa Ujimoto himself.
"Why?"
He asked this question for all the Asahina family retainers.
"Because your eyebrows and eyebrows look exactly like your father's." Asahina Taino replied with a smile, making everyone wonder if he was drunk.
"That's it?" Imagawajimoto asked in disbelief.
"That's it. Isn't it enough?" Asahina Yasunou took a few steps forward, then suddenly bent down and put his face next to Imagawajimoto. The pungent smell of alcohol made Imagawajimoto choke. But Asahina Yasunou,
Look closely at those eyes from the closest distance.
"Their stubborn desire to survive even though he is in dire straits is exactly the same as the old master's."
Asahina Yasuno stood up slowly, faced the retainers around him who were confused and almost angry, and explained loudly:
"During the turbulent times of the Warring States Period, the most indispensable thing was talent. How many talented people came out of nowhere, but what ended up in the end? Not to mention, at that time, Xiaolu Fan Man was a man of eight talents, a wealth of knowledge, and a brave man who impressed several countries.
So much so that countless people in the Imagawa clan fell in love with him, and would rather abandon their direct descendants (who are relatives of the Imagawa clan) to support him in power, including the Asahina family. Even after Oga Norimitsu was finally defeated, people who interceded for him still crowded the Imagawa Hall.
It was so overwhelming that the old lord (a relative of the Imagawa clan) had to leave behind a rebellious clan, and even allowed Xiaolu Fanman's surviving family to use the Miao character "Imagawa", which was the only way to win people's hearts. Such people's expectations are no less than today's Imagawa.
Your Highness Liangzhen."
"However, my father repeatedly mentioned to me when he was still alive that the thing he regretted most in his life was that he followed Xiaolu Fanman because of his talent. It was Xiaolu Fanman who was the only one in the history of the Imagawa family for more than a hundred years.
Under the leadership of a talented person who can rival Sakyou Ryo (Imagawa Sadyo), the Imagawa family almost lost Toe, and Suruga was also in chaos. It was not because of anything else, but because Oka Norman was so talented. Those who rely on talent must be proud of others.
, and arrogance is the biggest obstacle to surviving in this troubled world."
"When people focus on their ambitions and only have distance and dreams in their eyes, they will ignore the dangers at their feet, and defeat is not far away. Xiaolu Fanman is committed to conquering the Three Rivers, opening up territories, and looks down on the weak in his territory.
The wealthy family and the people of the country did not carefully monitor the movements of the little people, which led to wave after wave of rebellions, and eventually exhausted the national power of the Imagawa family. In the eyes of Xiaolu Noman, Lord Soun was just a small gain.
He's just a little person, so small that you don't need to care about him at all, but who would have expected that Xiao Lu Norman would be defeated by a ronin like Mr. Soun?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Imagine back then, wasn't Sakyou Ryo (Imagawa Sadyo) even more of a genius? He entered Kyushu alone, and the military commander's direction, in a blink of an eye, troubled the shogunate for many years
The chronic diseases of the Southern Dynasties were wiped out. But what was the ending? It wasn’t because of his talent that he aroused jealousy, and he arrogantly despised the secret slanders of little people. In the end, he was framed by the shogunate’s suspicions, and almost caused the Imagawa family to be destroyed. It was the person who truly continued the bloodline of the Imagawa family.
, on the contrary, it is Ryo Sakyo’s unremarkable, yet cautious brother (the fourth generation of the Imagawa family - Imagawa Noroshi)."
"In the past, the Central Affairs Bureau Daisuke (Imagawa Nori) was always laughed at by others, saying that he was far less talented than his younger brother and had no sense of existence. Even Sakyou Ryo looked down on his brother. But in the end, it was the Central Affairs Bureau who worked in the cracks for Imagawa.
The family had a chance to survive and saved my brother's life."
"Troubled times are no better than peacetime. Open shots are always eye-catching, but hidden arrows are the most difficult to guard against. But those who rely on their talents and arrogance are most likely to think highly of themselves and underestimate the fatal dangers in the humble. What can really allow a family to survive in troubled times is often
Not unparalleled heroes, but ordinary people who are fully aware of their own weakness and the strength of their enemies, but still try their best to survive and are always on guard against all dangers."
"They may not be able to leave a lasting mark, but they really protect the family. Just like the old master back then, even if he was an orphan and a widower, he had nowhere to live, even if his military talent was far inferior to that of Xiaolu Fanman, even if he looked up
He has no relatives, and the whole clan is a traitor, but he is still stubborn and working hard to survive in the world."
"The old master is such a person, and so is his son. As for the mistakes my father made, I, as a son, cannot make the same mistakes again! Now the third son has not yet succeeded, but the arrogance and arrogance in his eyes are still there.
He can no longer hide it, as if he doesn’t take the whole world into consideration. What will happen when he really becomes the governor of the family? Sooner or later, like Ryo Sakyo and Noro Manman, his reputation will be ruined, and the Imagawa family will be plunged into irreversible disaster."
"On the contrary, the courage of the Fourth Young Master to come to our house to lobby alone when the whole city was being hunted and betrayed by everyone; the tenacity of still struggling when the whole house was ridiculing him and feeling ashamed - is exactly the same as the old master. Fourth Young Master,
He is the one who can protect the Imagawa family, and he is the governor who deserves the trust and support of our Asahina family. This is the judgment of Asahina Yasuno!"
Asahina Yasunou straightened up, grabbed the wine jar, and threw it in front of Imagawajimoto. The splashed wine splashed Imagawajimoto's face, "Then, Fourth Young Master, please drink from this jar of fine wine, and treat Asahina in your heart."
Just like Yukisai-sama and Odai-den, please treat me as a target that you must bear humiliation and protect with all your strength. The entire Asahina family is entrusted to you."
Imagawa Shiyuan took the jar of wine and drank it all in one gulp.
"As Third Young Master expected, all the remaining members of the Imagawa clan have entered the Asahina family's residence one after another."
On the west side of Ninomaru Castle, Imagawa Ryoma led a group of cronies to monitor every move of the Asahina family. When he saw Imagawa Clan Motoshin surrendering to the trap, he couldn't help laughing: "I knew Imagawa Clan Motomoto
I will go to the Asahina family, and the Asahina family will definitely agree to help."
"Do you want to take action?" Fukushima Masashige stood half a step behind his grandson very politely. In the past, he had a bad temper and would rarely be so polite to his juniors. It's just because the talent that Imagawa Yoshima has blossomed in these few days is really...
He was so convinced that he thought from the bottom of his heart that he would regard Imagawa Yoshima as his new lord just like he served the Imagawa clan and Imagawa clan Teru. "The troops of other generations may not be able to be mobilized, but the troops directly under the Fukushima family and the Imagawa family are all."
Under the command of Mr. Waiting, it will be enough to destroy the Asahina family's troops stationed inside and outside the Imagawa Hall."
"No, wait a minute." Imagawa Yoshima raised his hand to signal not to worry, "Now let's surround them. As long as Asahina Binchu sends Imagawa Ujimoto and Taihara Yuksai immediately, we can argue that they are trapping
They are rebels, we have no excuse to take action against them. Only when the Asahina family raises troops to seize the city gate will we have a legitimate reason to attack the traitors and pull out this nail in one fell swoop."
"It's so courageous to attack the most important minister in the family as soon as he takes office." Masashige Fukushima praised in a low voice, "Old man, I don't have such spirit anymore."
"The Asahina family and Odai-den are related by marriage, and I will definitely be Odai-den's right-hand man in the future. Sooner or later, I will have conflicts with Odai-den after I take office, so naturally I should eradicate his influence first." However, Imagawa Yoshima was unwavering and confident.
Man Tong said, "To conquer the world, there must be no mistakes in every step, otherwise it will just waste time."
"Sir, the spy reported back! The Asahina family sent messengers to leave the city through the west gate, and at the same time secretly sent ninjas to spy near Sannomaru West City." Another guard who rushed back reported respectfully, "The gate guards must be allowed to let their messengers and
Are the ninjas going out? There are 300 people from the Asahina family stationed in the castle town outside the west castle gate. The Asahina family must want to get in touch with them."
"Let them go, don't alert the snake." Imagawa Yoshizhin raised his hand again and said calmly, "The strict blockade now will only make them alert, and if they can't contact the troops outside the city, I guess Asahina Binchu will also not be able to contact them.
If you dare to rely on the 200 men at hand, let's take action. If he backs off, how can we use rebellion as an excuse to annihilate him? We must let him contact the troops smoothly, let him deploy smoothly, and let him think he has won.
Only when you have it in hand will you be able to raise troops with confidence."
After the guards took the order and left, Imagawa Yoshima crossed his arms and stepped on the gap between the battlements of the female wall. He looked in the direction of the west city with interest and said to himself disdainfully:
"Imagawa Yoshimoto (Imagawa Ujimoto), Taihara Sekssai, Asahina Taino... You must think that you are planning something incredible now that will surprise me, right? What a pity, even if you are heroes for a moment, you are not as good as me, a person from the future.
In comparison, I am still not an enemy of one. You will never see the knowledge I have come into contact with and learned in several lifetimes. And I also know all the psychology and every move of you 'historical figures'. Before you do it, I will
Now that I know what you are thinking, why do you have to defeat me? It’s all in vain.”
"In the eyes of time travellers, the world is just a chess game. Every move you make is clearly written on my chess record." Imagawa Yoshima sneered, as if he could see the sweating preparations in the Asahina family mansion.
Asahina Taino, Imagawa Ujimoto, Taiyuan Xuesai and others scorned their efforts.
