After returning from Oda Nobunaga's tea party, first Yukino, then Haruno. After dealing with a series of things, he was a little overused.
He lay half-ly on the pillow, closed his eyes for a moment, and cleared his tired mind.
I don’t know how much time passed, but there was a knock on the door. Yiyin raised his eyelids in anger, what happened today? It’s endless!
he asked.
"What's up?"
Pusheng's village opened the door, kowtowed to the ground and said.
"At the Imperial Palace, Takatora Todo wants to see you."
Yoshigage's pupils shrank and he suddenly woke up. Why is Takatora Toudo here?
He thought for a moment and said.
"Bring her here."
"Hi!"
As Kamojigo went out to pick up people, Yoshigan stood up and sat down, patted his wrinkled clothes, and thought about the purpose of Takatora Toudo's visit.
Among the recent wave collars, Fujido collar is a unique existence.
When Yoshigan Shiba arrived in Kokomo, he was sent to Omi Country by Ashikaga Yoshiteru to coordinate the disputes between the north and south Omi and Rokkaku Asai families.
At that time, the Rokkaku family was still at its peak. Rokkaku Yoshihide was so daring that in order to get an excuse to attack the Asai family, he sent the envoy Yoshigan Shiba to mediate with the intention of murdering Ashikaga Yoshiteru.
After defeating the ambush of the Rokkaku family, Yoshigan boarded the ship and transferred to the Kitanomi Asai family, and joined forces with Nagamasa Asai to start a battle against Rokkaku Yoshihide. Only then did his first battle, which was so powerful in recent times, the battle of Norada.
At that time, Shiba Yiyin was still a declining nobleman with nothing.
In order to play a greater role in the Noragada War, he used the imperial family status as a bargaining chip to bribe the Todo clan of Inugami County headed by Todo Torakan.
After the war, Todo Toradaka was deceived by Mitsuhide Akechi into donating 10,000 koku of land in Todo's ten villages to the Shiba Yoshi Bank in the traditional way.
Todo Takatora's daughter Todo Takatora also took the initiative to follow Yoshigan Shiba to Kyoto.
Todo Takatora followed Shiba Yoshigan to fight in the near future, and completely beat Miyoshi Nagakei's Kamiro Nobo to pieces.
This battle earned Yoshigan Shiba the reputation of the Ashikaga Military God, and he was also rewarded by the shogunate, gaining both fame and fortune.
The Todo clan's territory was also officially included in the revived Shiba family. Todo Takatora returned home and became the heir to the Todo family.
In recent times, the Shiba Territory is a territory of 200,000 koku under the jurisdiction of Ashikaga Yoshiteru, who granted the duties of Shiba Yoshigan, the Iga Guardian and the Hodaiwa Guardian.
But Todo Leader is not within the two hundred thousand stone. Todo Leader is isolated outside, located in Inugami County in the middle of Omi Kingdom.
Todo Toradaka is an old martial artist who has gone through a lot of hardships, and she cherishes being able to obtain a family status within the guardian system.
When Shiba Yoshigan left Kogo for Kanto, she also recommended a child of the Ishida family in Aichi County to serve as an official, namely Ishida Mitsunari.
Yoshihiro Shiba was always tolerant towards Togo Todo and had few restrictions on Todo's leader.
This time, Sibo Yiyin was lingering outside the nearest door, obviously dissatisfied with the situation in Sibo.
Todo Takataka's reaction was very quick, and he immediately sent his daughter Toudo Takataka to see the master.
As expected of an old samurai who has been hanging out in the chaotic land of central Omi for many years, he is indeed politically aware and knows how to take a stand.
Yiyin couldn't help laughing as he thought about it.
Judging from the reaction of Toudaka Toradaka, the internal affairs of Shiba collar have not been monolithic in recent years. He refused to go back to take charge of the overall situation, which seemed to have frightened many people.
This is a good thing.
As long as the retainers in Sibo's territory in recent years have their own thoughts, Yiyin can deal with them one by one and solve this hidden danger that was accidentally left two years ago.
While Yoshigan was still deep in thought, Todo Takatora had already entered the room to pay his respects.
Takatora Toudo was the earliest member of the Yoshigan family. At the time, he, Maeda Yoshitsugi and Otani Yoshitsugi were awarded the title and were in charge of the local government.
Yiyin looked at her carefully.
The 17 or 18-year-old girl who followed him at the beginning is now more and more beautiful. She is in her early twenties and is a head taller than the average samurai. She is really a heroic warrior Ji.
Yiyin smiled.
"Long time no see, Todo-hime, how is your mother?"
Takatora Toudo had not seen Yoshigin for two years, but he was secretly speechless when he saw that he was now much taller than him, with an increasingly handsome appearance and an extraordinary temperament.
This young lord is really getting more and more evil as he grows older, and his momentum is even more powerful than before.
She sighed and answered respectfully.
"Everything is fine, mother. I just miss my master a little. This time..."
Before she finished speaking, there was another knock on the door, and Yiyin frowned.
"What else happened?"
Kamao clan walked in, looked at Todo Takatora, and said softly.
"Otaisuo, Otani Yoshitsugi is here."
Yoshigan saw Todo Takatora's eyes widening and his expression flustered, and he couldn't understand.
Maeda Yoshida, Toudo Takatora, and Otani Yoshitsugi were all his samurai warriors at the time, and they participated in the Norada War together.
Compared to the later Katsuhisa Niko and Yukimori Yamanaka, they were more senior. These three people were considered to be the military commander faction of the Shiba Territory in recent times, a small group with Maeda's interests as the core.
Yoshigan originally thought that although Takatora Toudo was sent by her mother, Takataka Toudo, she should have cleared the air with Maeda in advance.
But now it seems that this may not be the case. If there is really a conflict with Maeda's interests, what is going on with Otani Yoshitsugi?
He said slowly.
"Bring Otani Yoshitsugi here."
Kamao clan bowed and went out to lead the people. Yoshigan looked at Toudo Takatora without saying anything. Toudo Takatora lowered his head and sweated, and the atmosphere was a bit solemn.
Soon, Yoshitsugi Otani entered the room and bowed respectfully to Yoshihiro Shiba.
Yiyin sat down and accepted her etiquette. After the ceremony, he smiled and said.
"Otani-hime, are you feeling well? Are you here with Totani-hime this time?"
Otani Yoshitsugi was stunned and nodded.
"Thanks to Yutai for your concern, the old problem in my body is just like that. I made an appointment with Todo-hime, but we were delayed on the way and missed the meeting time.
Todo-hime, I’ve kept you waiting for a long time.”
Otani Yoshitsugi took advantage of the situation and bowed to Takatora Toudo to apologize. Takatora Toudo quickly returned the bow, with some embarrassment on his face.
Yoshigan observed carefully and found that Takatora Toudo was neatly dressed, but Yoshitsugi Otani was dusty and dusty. There were many doubts about this.
First, if the two of them meet each other, it won't be too far apart. Why, one of them is taking it easy while the other is traveling hard in the world.
Secondly, since we had an appointment, why did Todo Takatora seem to be caught off guard and look unexpectedly embarrassed?
The corners of Yiyin's mouth turned up slightly.
The deterrent effect of not returning to the recent wave was greater than imagined. Maeda's interests seemed to be unable to hold him back, and his old comrades began to rush away.
He saw through it but didn't tell it, so he asked with a smile.
"Spring plowing is approaching, why do you leave the territory at this time?"
Todo Takatora bowed.
"My mother heard that the Lord has returned from Guandong, and ordered me to come and see the Lord. I asked the Lord about the arrangements for Shangluo, and the leader of Tengtang can arrange and cooperate.
Although the spring plowing is important, mother said that the Fujido family is your eagle dog. When I learn that you are in Meinong Country, I must come to see you as a king and minister."
Yiyin nodded repeatedly and asked Otani Yoshitsugi with a smile.
"Otani-hime, what about you? Todou-hime's mother is in charge of spring plowing at home, so you don't have to take care of the spring plowing of the territory?"
Otani Yoshitsugi bowed and said.
"The spring plowing at home has been properly arranged, and all the retainers have followed the rules.
Todo-hime and I are here this time, entrusted by Lord Maeda Yoshida, to inquire about the Lord's visit to Luo, so that we can serve you in the official service."
Yiyin smiled slightly and teased.
"Todo-hime, is that so?"
Todo Takatora was stunned, glanced at the sharp-eyed Yoshitsugi Ohtani, laughed dryly, and said.
"exactly.
In addition to my mother's greetings, Maeda Yoshida also asked us two to come on her behalf to express our greetings and respect for you."
Yiyin tapped the document beside him with his index finger and said.
"Really? But as far as I know, she is in serious trouble now.
She, the general-in-chief of Sibo in recent years, had great power. She knew clearly about the Kyoto Incident, but she stood still and watched the general's death.
I wonder if she still remembers what she promised me back then? Does she still have any loyalty in her heart?"
When Yiyin finished speaking, he hit the document with his palm, his voice stern.
What the hell, when I left Konki, I specially found Akechi Mitsuhide and Maeda Yoshida. I had a good sex with them, just to make them loyal to me and look after Konki Shiba.
They are so good, one is scheming, the other is pretending to be stupid, they are really ruthless!
They killed me for nothing, right? By doing this, are they worthy of my hard work and sweat?
On the other hand, Nizi Shengjiu didn't *have* anything, but was loyal and took the overall situation into consideration. Why is the gap between people so big?
Todo Takatora and Otani Yoshitsugi both fell to the ground and kowtowed, imploring their lord to calm down.
Otani Yoshitsugi said sincerely.
"Odaisho, you have misunderstood Mr. Maeda Yoshida.
She has always kept your teachings in mind, keeping a close eye on Minami Omi, always implementing your strategy, and cooperating with General Ashikaga to suppress the Rokkaku family.
Although the Rokkaku family is weak, the centipede is still alive, and the pressure on Maeda Yoshida has been great.
these two years.
She first responded to the Asai family, invaded Koka County, and captured Suzuka Pass.
In order to cooperate with your grain purchase plan, we will sell Suzuka Pass to the Oda family.
Finally, they also cooperated with General Ashikaga's military presence in Sakamoto Castle to intimidate the southern part of the Rokkaku family.
She has been working hard without any slack, and she has lived up to your expectations, Yutai Suo.
The sudden incident in Kyoto also puzzled Lord Maeda. Because there was no information from Kyoto from Lord Akechi Mitsuhide, she had to be cautious and investigate the situation first.
When the truth came to light, Kyoto had fallen into the hands of the Miyoshi family. General Ashikaga suffered regicide, and Lord Maeda also regretted it.
But I dare to say that she has been in charge of the military power of Poland in recent times, and there is no problem in maintaining prudent decision-making when the situation is unclear.
At the imperial office, important matters such as running the army are not something to be trifled with. Although she committed the crime of negligence, she is excusable. I hope you will calm down and give Lord Maeda Yoshida another chance."
Yoshigan touched his chin when he saw Otani Yoshitsugi's tearful performance, and almost wanted to applaud her. He should really bring in Takada Haruno to see what high-level blame-shifting means.
It's the same as passing the blame, but that girl Yangno will threaten the lord with debts. It's really stupid, and the crime is even worse.
If Yoshigami hadn't been soft-hearted, considering her business talent, and the eagerness of Sister Yukino, this would have been a difficult test.
Looking at Maeda's interests, the level of blame-shifting is extremely high, highlighting one and avoiding the important.
First, he used a lot of credit to beg for mercy, then he confessed to the most minor crime of inspection, and finally he was completely blamed for participating in the murder of the general. It was a perfect example of scapegoating.
After Otani Yoshitsugi finished speaking, he kowtowed to the ground. He didn't see his master speak for a long time. He felt uneasy and exhausted physically and mentally.
Toudo Takatora left early and the journey was short. In order to catch up with Toudo Takatora, she had to travel day and night, which was really hard.
However, she had to chase after him.
If Takatora Toudo met his master first and expressed the attitude of Toudo leader, Maeda's interests would be even more passive.
In recent years, Sibo leaders are now not punishing everyone, but when all the concubines rush to the lord to beg for mercy, whoever falls last will be unlucky.
Nizi Katsuhisa has merit, Takada Yono is summoned first, Otani Yoshitsugi and Toudo Takatora must catch the last train together.
As for Akechi Mitsuhide, that guy is already a dead pig and is not afraid of boiling water. He can just lie down and have sex.
After a while, Yiyin sighed and said.
"You get up first.
Maeda Yoshida has made great contributions in the past two years, and I understand her difficulties.
But I have asked the third husband of Momochi to investigate the whole story of the Kyoto Incident.
You said Maeda was completely unaware of the interests? I’m afraid that’s not necessarily the case?”
Otani Yoshitsugi said solemnly.
"May I ask, Your Highness, can the words of the Third Master of Baidi be trusted?"
Yi Yinsuo rubbed his fingers and said.
"As evidenced by Fujibayashi Xing's confession."
Otani Yoshitsugi asked.
"What about Anto Fujibayashi?"
Yiyin narrowed his eyes and said.
"died."
Otani Yoshitsugi snorted coldly.
“What a dead man with no evidence to prove!
I have also heard a little bit about the methods of the Renzong in the imperial office. Under three trees, there is nothing I can't ask for.
Bai Di San Taifu interrogated Fujibayashi Xing, why did he only keep a verbal confession but no witness?
Is there such a ridiculous thing in the world to try to convict a great man based on a single confession?
The Third Taifu of Baidi has ulterior motives, and I sincerely request the imperial office to kill this beast!"
When Yiyin saw her plausibly speaking, he felt angry and said angrily.
"That's enough! Mitsuhide Akechi has admitted the authenticity of his confession in front of the third wife of Momochi.
I sent someone to ask Mitsuhide Akechi, and he didn’t deny it either!”
Otani Yoshitsugi refused to bow to his strong points and continued to defend Maeda's interests.
"In the imperial office, even if the third wife of Momochi did not lie, Mitsuhide Akechi is full of tricks and tricks. You must not trust her easily!"
Yiyin sneered.
"Then who should I believe? Maeda's interests?"
Otani Yoshitsugi kowtowed to the ground and said seriously.
"Exactly!
Lord Maeda Yoshiki is the first retainer you have accepted.
She has followed you since she became an official in the Kingdom of Ouzhang and has been fighting bloody battles. She is loyal to you and the Sibo family, and she has no second heart.
How can you conclude that Mr. Maeda Yoshida will be disloyal to you just because of a few slanderous words from outsiders?
The mountains are far away, the rivers are far away, the mountains and rivers are far away, and the roads are far away. Otai Suo, do you still remember the benefits of Maeda who accompanied you to Luo that year?"
Yoshigami narrowed his eyes and said nothing. Yoshitsugi Otani pointed at Takatora Toudo next to him and said.
"Todo-hime and I both believe in Maeda Yoshida-sama, so we came together to help her distinguish right from wrong.
Todo-hime, do you think that’s the case?”
Toudo Takatora was immediately dumbfounded. Ohtani Yoshitsugi was forcing her into the water!
