A man's dementia always comes and goes quickly. Sometimes, after finishing the work just now, his brain immediately returns to his senses.
Yoshigan was a little upset, Yuigahama Yui kept crying.
"My crime deserves to be punished by death. I lost my moral character after drinking. My... I... I kindly ask you to commit seppuku."
Yoshigami shook his head, he was not upset by Yuigahama Yui's panic.
The passive effect of having an untroubled life is this: you will always be the good guy in terms of relationships between men and women, and the bad guy will definitely be someone else.
No matter how proactive you are, the system can always distort the facts and make Warrior Ji confess to the crime in fear.
After seeing this kind of scene too many times, Yiyin has become a little tired of it. Sometimes he wants to be the perpetrator instead of the victim every time.
Especially when a weak perpetrator like Yuigahama Yui cried and confessed, it gave people an indescribable sense of violation.
Especially at this time, Yoshigami suddenly discovered that Yuigahama Yui was actually a hina, and he began to feel upset.
He saw that Yuigahama Yui was debating whether to commit seppuku or not, and was afraid of the pain and death, so he couldn't help but ask.
"How come you haven't gotten married these years?"
Yuigahama Yui was stunned. She had done such a shocking evil thing. Why didn't your Majesty reprimand me and order me to commit seppuku? Instead, I asked about my marriage?
She was still dazed, but Yiyin shouted impatiently.
"explain!"
Yuigahama Yui wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, raised her head and said.
"Mother really hopes that I will get married as soon as possible so that the Ubihama family can continue the name of the family, but I have never forgotten Hikigaya-kun, and it has been delayed until now without knowing it."
Yiyin remembered.
Back then, he saw Yuigahama Yui crying because of her sweetheart marrying someone else, and being ridiculed and humiliated by her colleagues. That's why he got angry and gave Yuigahama Yui a fat job in the Shinsengumi.
After doing it for a long time, I found out that this guy is really a lover. He is single until now because of the man he can’t forget.
Yiyin was speechless and even felt a little ashamed. He didn't take the blood very kindly.
I originally thought that Yuigahama Yui had already been married in the past five years, so Yoshigami wanted to get drunk and cause trouble. Anyway, this guy was timid, so he just got over with a scare.
Who would have known that this guy would turn out to be in perfect condition, and now he would stun Yiyin.
Although in the values of the female-dominated world, women have always been responsible for men. However, Yiyin's worldview belongs to the previous life and is somewhat male-oriented. It is difficult to be ruthless in the face of this situation.
The happy time with a married woman that just broke up suddenly turned into a hot potato that was always abandoned.
At this time, Yuigahama Yui believed that she deserved death, but Yoshigine also felt guilty and was temporarily confused.
After experiencing this kind of thing, it was her first time. Yoshigan looked at Yuigahama Yui with pity and entanglement in her eyes.
But Yiyin didn't know what to do. He was upset by her crying, so he could only snap.
"You should go back first, have a good rest, and pretend nothing happened today."
Yuigahama Yui stared blankly at her master, still choking, her eyes like a hesitant little hamster.
"Your Majesty...I...you..."
Yiyin snorted.
"What do you mean? I told you that nothing happened. Don't you understand what I say? Go back."
Yuigahama Yui stood up tremblingly, as if the wound was affected, covering her abdomen and legs with her hands, and tears began to well up in her eyes again.
Yiyin looked distressed, but was afraid that his concern would frighten her, so she could only say it with a cruel heart.
"When you go back, you are not allowed to mention tonight's incident to anyone, and you are not allowed to commit seppuku. I want you to live well, did you hear me?"
Yuigahama Yui's eyes flashed with confusion. She didn't know how she had the courage to do such a heinous thing, let alone why her master let her go so easily.
But she has always been obedient and obedient. She didn't dare to ask or think about it now. She just habitually obeyed the king's orders.
Seeing Yuigahama Yui walking out despite the pain, Yoshigine felt even more guilty.
Although Samurai Ji's physique is very good and will not hurt her, the ugly appearance of turning blue after drinking some sake is really ugly.
When you are used to being in a superior position, you will not be restricted by the law. Only morality can restrain yourself. But when you indulge occasionally, Yiyin wants to act like a beast. Perhaps this is the bad nature of human beings.
As expected, those in high positions rarely have any personal virtues, and those who eat meat are despicable.
Yuigahama Yui took a few steps to adapt, and when she was about to open the sliding door, her pace had stabilized.
Just as she was about to open the door, she heard Yiyin's majestic voice coming from behind her.
"Do your job well and don't think too much. I... you'll be fine anyway."
Yuigahama Yui turned around and bowed deeply.
"Your Majesty is as kind and virtuous as the sea, and I... I bid farewell."
Watching the grateful Yuigahama Yui disappear outside the door, Yoshigage became more and more confused.
Mad, it seems that I have done something very unhuman. Hey, forget it, I will just make it up to her if I have the chance.
———
Yuigahama Yui left the castle tower in tears. Even now, her mind is still confused and she has no idea how she could have committed such a heinous crime.
Along the way, none of the concubine warriors raised any suspicion, and even the Hamo clan glanced at her casually and let her go.
This guy is notoriously weak, so it's not surprising that he cried when being scolded by his master, so there's no need to care about her.
When she returned to her apartment in a daze, she found that the lights were still on and her mother was sitting on the tatami waiting for her.
"Mother, you haven't rested yet."
Yuigahama's mother looks very similar to Yuigahama Yui's appearance, just like Yuigahama Yui's appearance twenty years later, with a mature atmosphere, she said slowly.
"I came back later than I thought. Why, did your Majesty have a solo with you?"
Yuigahama Yui's face stiffened, and the wound somewhere on her body started to hurt again.
"No...just chatted for a few words...Mother, please don't ask any more questions."
Yuigahama's mother glared and said.
"Can I not ask? How can you make me feel at ease when you look like this?
If you are as timid as a mouse in official matters, are rigid in everything, and are led by others, even Mr. Takada Haruno will look down on you.
Regarding personal matters, you don't like any of the young masters of the Wu family who have been found for you. How old are you this year? You don't care if the heirs of the Hihama family continue?
That is to say, the king is kind and cares about old friendships. Even though you did not do well in the Shinsengumi, he is still willing to give you a chance to take charge of the clean government.
How many people outside are eyeing your position eagerly and trying to pull you down? Which one is not the most important position, the Shinsengumi or the Integrity Committee?
If you continue to be confused like this, one day you will disappoint your Majesty, and if you are beaten to the end, what will happen to the future of the Yuigahama family!"
Being scolded by her mother reminded her of the terrible thing she had just done to her master, and Yuigahama Yui couldn't help but scream.
"Mother! Please stop talking! I'm really tired! I want to rest!"
After forcefully pulling her mother up and pushing her out, Yuigahama Yui closed the door with both hands and collapsed on the tatami, lowering her head and talking to herself.
"What should I do? I'm really dead now, I've offended the Lord to death.
But your Majesty doesn't allow me to tell others, and neither can my mother. I can't commit hara-kiri, either, because your Majesty wants me to live.
What should I do, wuwuwu.”
Pushed out of the door by her daughter who suddenly exploded, Yuigahama's mother was still a little confused. Why her daughter, who had always been weak, suddenly had such a bad temper, shocked her.
Turning around and looking at the sliding door, Yuigahama's mother couldn't help but feel soft. She didn't want to force her daughter to death, but the situation in Yuigahama's family was really not optimistic.
The Yuigahama family came from the old Iga clan. Back then, Yoshigan Shiba persuaded the old Iga clan to send troops to Yamato to help the shogunate fight the war. The Yuigahama family was one of them.
At an important moment in the Battle of Yamato, during the decisive battle between Shiba Yoshigan and Toga Ichino, Tsutsui Junkei wanted to sneak attack behind Shiba's army.
At this critical moment, Maeda led his subordinates, the Old Iga, to push against Tsutsui Junkei's river crossing, preparing to fight Tsutsui Junkei desperately.
Shiba Yoshigan also became ruthless and selected young men from the remaining old Iga warriors to form the Hime Warriors. These Hime warriors who followed Shiba Yoshigan into battle were the first batch of Tongxinsong.
The fate of the Yuigahama family was changed at this moment.
The old Iga clan is divided into three areas: North Iga, Minami Iga, and Yuno, which belong to the three jounin of Iga. The North Iga clan follows the Fujibayashi family, the Minami Iga clan follows the Momochi family, and the Yuno clan follows the Hattori family.
Among the three parties, the Hattori clan of Yuye left Iga country long ago and went to Mikawa country. The Fujibayashi family and the Momochi family later followed Yoshigan Shiba.
During the Battle of Yamato, the old Iga clan under Maeda's control was the Yuno clan. At the critical moment, Maeda's clan took away most of the elite Yuno clan to stop Tsutsui Junkei.
Therefore, the main bodies of the Doshin Sect formed by Shiba Yoshigan are the Northern Iga Sect and the Southern Iga Sect.
Yuigahama Yui, a weakling, was not considered the elite of the Yuno clan, so she did not follow Maeda's interests at that time.
However, there was a shortage of people on Shiba Yoshigan's side. In the end, almost all the young warriors participated in Shiba Yoshigan's death-defying charge, and Yuigahama Yui became a member of the group by accident.
After the Battle of Yamato, the Tongxinzhong became a direct subordinate of Yiyin, but the nature of the samurai family to form small groups remained the same.
Yuigahama Yui, who was born in the Yuno clan, was alone and was ostracized by the other Hime samurai who came from Minami and North Iga among the Doshin clan.
And because she entered the Tongxinzhong sequence, she was no longer a member of Maeda's subordinates, and was alienated from the rest of the world.
This weakling had no one to rely on, and became a loner, with no one looking down on her.
It was also because of her good fortune that Shiba Yiyin happened to see her crying when she was bullied by the Tongxin people.
Yoshigan Shiba was very angry when he found out that his fellow members were bullying him, so he gave Yuigahama Yui a plum job to join the newly formed Shinsengumi.
The ten members of the Shinsengumi were gathered together by friends and relatives of the Ubihama family. Although this group came from the old Iga clan, they are now their own group.
Most of the old Iga clan and the old Hokudai Kazu clan followed Shima Shengmu to expand territory in Kanto's Shiba territory, and the old Doshin clan followed Yamazaka Yukimori and were also in Kanto at this time.
As for Yuigahama Yui, a member of the old Iga clan, although she has been through the Shinsengumi and the Integrity clan and has held important positions with real power, she has a weak temperament and has never been welcomed by everyone.
This time Shiba Yoshigan came back, Ishida Mitsunari specially promoted Yuigahama Yui to attend the master's banquet.
Yuigahama's mother thought about carrying each other in a sedan chair, so she dressed Yuigahama Yui in her best kimono, hoping that she would gain some popularity in front of Jungami and also say something good for Ishida Mitsunari.
As long as the relationship between Ishida Mitsunari and the Yuigahama family is harmonious, Yuigahama Yui's integrity members will have an easier time in the Shiba Tadashi Foundation.
But when Yuigahama's mother saw her daughter's hesitant look when she came back, she guessed that her daughter must have forgotten to say good things to Ishida Mitsunari when you were prefaced, and she might even have accidentally said bad things.
If it weren't for this, how could my daughter be so guilty? Would she have kicked out the mother?
The mother and daughter on both sides of the door were worried. They always felt that the Yuigahama family would end sooner or later, and they would not be able to survive this day.
At the same time, Yoshigan Shiba of the castle tower was also very troubled, not knowing how to compensate Yuigahama Yui for her first blood today.
This girl is timid and afraid of getting into trouble. Giving her a promotion may not be helping her, but may be hurting her. But if there is no sign of anything, Yiyin feels that she is really not a human being.
He thought about it over and over, his head was spinning, but he still couldn't come up with a good idea that would get the best of both worlds. In the end, he could only sigh and pretend that he owed that little girl a favor.
This weak warrior Ji really doesn't know how to love and protect her.
———
Kyoto, Shiba Residence.
Akechi Mitsuhide swallowed the sake in one gulp, his face flushed, and he looked drunk.
"Men are all emotional, you can't look at men the same way you look at women.
They don't talk about right or wrong, they only talk about feelings.
If you treat men in the same rational way as among the Hime warriors, analyzing right and wrong, Fujitaka, you will suffer a big loss."
Opposite Akechi Mitsuhide, it was Hosokawa Fujitaka who had the smell of alcohol sprayed on her face.
At this time, Hosokawa Fujitaka was smiling, listening to Akechi Mitsuhide's talk, but there was a faint feeling of stiffness behind the smile.
Of course Hosokawa Fujitaka didn't want to appear here to drink and chat with Akechi Mitsuhide, whom she despised, but what could she do?
The once proud daughter of heaven and the heir to the Izumi Hosokawa family has lost her former pride and bowed down in the face of repeated setbacks.
Hosokawa Fujitaka's small actions in secret almost caused the Hosokawa-Mibuchi family to part ways with the Shiba family because of seeking to marry Yoshigan Shiba.
Later, Mitsuhide's act of dementia forced her to seek help from Mitsuhide Akechi, not wanting the Hosokawa-Mitsubishi family to become victims of Ashikaga-Oda's battle of wits.
But on that day, Mibuchi Fujihide, who saw her as a threat, arranged for mercenaries from Zaga Zhong to ambush her on her way back.
With the help of Mitsuhide Akechi, Hosokawa Fujitaka escaped. Deeply hating Mibuchi Fujihide for disregarding sisterhood, she and Mibuchi Fujihide started an internal fight between the Hosokawa and Mibuchi families.
At this time, Oda Nobunaga, who was deeply surrounded by Nobunaga, was forced to withdraw from Nishi Konki, and the Miyoshi family made a comeback and once again entered the territory of the Izumi-Hosokawa family.
At the time of life and death, under the pressure of Katsuhisa Niko, an important minister of the Shiba family, and the interests of Maeda, Hosokawa Mototsune and Mibuchi Haruka had no choice but to join forces to suppress the internal fighting between the two daughters.
Having been stripped of his power, Fujitaka Hosokawa suddenly found himself in a dangerous and vulnerable situation.
Mibuchi Fujihide was recognized by the shogunate as the guardian of Kitakawachi, and he was also the tentacle of Oda Nobunaga's forces entering Nishisettsu, so his status was guaranteed.
But what does Hosokawa Fujitaka have? The heir status recognized by the two mothers has been shaken. She can only passively wait for the situation to change, losing room for advancement and retreat.
This uneasy feeling of being unable to guarantee his own situation forced Hosokawa Fujitaka to rush to Kyoto and take the initiative to approach the despised Akechi Mitsuhide in order to gain her support.
The heir to the famous Izumi Hosokawa family, and an outstanding Hime samurai who was once valued by the shogunate, Hosokawa Fujitaka was reduced to drinking and laughing with Akechi Mitsuhide. She felt so sad in her heart.
