Chapter 1624 The temptation of Sun God to change species
In the end, Yiyin still couldn't stop the dark fox from getting angry, and passively accepted the service once.
As Yiyin's Shinto route gradually became clearer, the actions of the Ji warriors became more and more active.
The love that was originally trapped by ethics and morals, but under the temptation of the huge interests of the gods, no longer has any deterrent power to hinder action.
Not only Ji Ji is very impulsive, but the samurai group behind Ji Ji also strongly supports their leader to make a fuss and obtain seeds from the living gods, which is related to the political future of the entire group.
If you have the blood of God, you are a descendant of God who holds a position in the palace. If you don't have the blood of God, you will always bow your head. The validity period can even last for hundreds, hundreds, or even thousands of years.
In the face of huge political interests, all ethics and morals become irrelevant. If you don't want to show off, there are many people rushing to show off, bad coins eliminate good coins, and in the end everyone becomes a showoff.
In this island country that emphasizes blood and origin, this is the second chance in thousands of years.
If you want to change your bloodline and turn a lowly race into a noble one, the last chance you had was back seven hundred years ago, when the Emperor's son, the Taira clan of Genji, surrendered to the place.
Rich families from all over the country rushed to marry the Taira clan of Genji, taking this opportunity to change their species, improve their status, and improve their ownership of the land under their names.
This time the opportunity is greater than the last time. It is a one-step process, which is extremely valuable.
Going to bed with a god and changing one's species, this kind of fairy tale-like plot, is really a once-in-a-lifetime experience that can never be found. Who wants to miss it?
This time, the target of the replanting is not as many as the Genji Taira family last time, but only the living god Yoshigage.
In the conscience of heaven and earth, how many seeds can this single seedling produce even if it doesn't go to the ground every day? What's more, he is extremely busy, running from Kinki to Kanto.
All the samurai groups can't take it away, so who will be polite and modest? Taking off clothes without meeting him is already the greatest respect that Ji Ji has for the living god.
Not only could Yiyin not refuse the hunger shown by the Wu family group, but he had to actively encourage it in order to complete his plan for the divine descendants.
All in all, his sacrifice was huge and his waist was very tired.
After stabilizing the political situation in Kyoto, Yoshihiro set out again for Kanto.
The second winter snow had just passed, and Yoshigan set out on horseback with his colleagues. Taking advantage of the break in the snowstorm, they took advantage of Omi Province and passed through the pass through Mino Province, then turned to Tokaido and headed for Kanto.
Tokaido faces the Pacific Ocean. Compared with the Sea of Japan on the Hokuriku Expressway, the ocean currents on this side are much warmer, so the road will not be blocked by winter snow and it will be difficult to travel.
After receiving the order, daimyo from various places along the way actively provided supplies for Yoshihiro's trip, which made the journey smooth sailing.
Just now, Yoshigan left the Kyoto Basin from Sakamoto Town, passed through Ogusa and entered the Minami Omi Plain, and met Oda Nobunaga.
Oda Nobunaga personally accompanied Yoshihiro for a while, holding banquets every day and staying in bed every night, not wanting to miss a day.
At the same time, powerful samurai warriors along the way in Omi came to pay homage to the saint. Some close samurai, such as Kenhide Kamamao and Hideyoshi Hashiba, were given the privilege of accompanying him for a while.
It wasn't until the end of the border was approaching that Oda Nobunaga took Yoshigami's hand and said goodbye.
"After seeing you for thousands of miles, I must say goodbye eventually. The saint is going to Guandong, and I don't know when I will see his face again."
Oda Nobunaga's dejected posture was not only out of sincerity of love, but also a political performance show for the surrounding Omi samurai who followed him.
The Shiba and Oda families join forces to bring peace to the world.
The more intimate Oda Nobunaga's performance is, the more she can take advantage of the Kinki samurai's fear and do whatever she wants after Yoshigan leaves.
What the Oda family lacked was not the strength to conquer, but the deterrent power to despair the conquered samurai families.
Only when the local martial arts family feels that no one can help them will they truly surrender and stop playing tricks like being in Cao's camp but in Han's heart.
The banner of justice of Yoshigan can be used by others to oppose Oda Nobunaga, and Oda Nobunaga can also be used to suppress others, depending on whose political skills are higher.
Yiyin is indifferent to this.
What he cares about most is his status as the supreme arbiter, followed by the establishment of a united and effective divine governance system, and the rest are minor details.
Oda Nobunaga rushes to have sex with him every day because he wants to rely on the divine bloodline to increase his influence. In Yoshigan's view, Oda Nobunaga is one of his own people who can be united.
To put it simply, anyone who is willing to take advantage of Yiyin, give him a child, and use the child's blood relationship to establish secular rule is one of his own people that Yiyin is willing to unite with.
His divine power needs such greedy secular rulers. The Wu family and the Sun Gods unite the front. As long as their own people don't fight their own people, in the end the meat will be rotten in the cauldron of the gods, and the righteousness will not be lost.
Oda Nobunaga and Yoshigan were saying farewell in front, while the other Hime warriors were waiting silently in the distance.
Taking this opportunity, Pu Sheng Xianxiu and the mother and daughter from Pu Sheng's hometown also got along well for a few days.
Seeing that his once childish legitimate daughter has grown into the leader of the Sibo Tongxinzhong Group and is quite accomplished in dealing with people, Kenshu Pu Sheng's heart is full of gratitude to Yiyin.
On the occasion of parting, Pu Shengxianxiu took his daughter aside and warned her.
"The saint treats my family with great kindness. My daughter serves the saint carefully and must not let him down."
Pu Shengshixiang nodded.
"Don't worry, mother, I will reflect on myself every day."
Kenhide Kamao glanced at Oda Nobunaga in the distance and whispered.
"When you come back to Kinki next time, I will pass on the position of family governor to you."
Pu Sheng's hometown was surprised.
"My mother is in her prime, why do you say this? I am currently busy with Tongxinzhong's affairs, and I cannot spare the time to go home and take care of the family business."
Pu Shengxianxiu said happily.
"Of course I don't want to end my good future in Tongxinzhong and go home to waste my time. I just hope that you will be the governor of the house and I will take care of everything in the house for you."
Pu Shengshixiang looked at his mother in confusion, and Pu Shengxianxiu sighed.
"Since the destruction of the Rokkaku family, I have devoted myself wholeheartedly to coordinating the relationship between Minami Omi and His Majesty Oda, but how did the Oda family repay me?
First, Shibata Katsuie and the Owari faction raised their butcher's knives in Minami Omi, causing panic. This time Shiba Oda went to war, and His Highness Oda couldn't trust me, so he asked me to go home to cultivate.
The Oda family has always been on guard against me. If you hadn't had a high status in the community and were deeply favored by the saint, the Kamao family would have fallen to the butcher's knife.
Hino Castle is an important town in Minami Omi, backed by the Suzuka Mountains and the gateway to Koka County. It is one of the junction lines between plains and mountains.
I thought that as long as we, the Kamao family, were loyal to His Highness Oda, our family fortune would at least be safe.
Now it seems that there are many mountains and hidden dangers inside the Oda family, and His Highness Oda's trust in me is also limited, and he is definitely not a wise master.
In this case, why should the Kamao family continue to stand on the fence between the Shiba and Oda families? I might as well pass on the name of the family governor to you to express my family's full support to the Shiba family.
Even if civil strife breaks out in the Oda family and Minami-Omi breaks out in the future, for the sake of the Shiba family, others will have to think carefully if they want to attack Hino Castle."
Kamaojigo looked at Oda Nobunaga, who was chatting and laughing in the distance, and asked.
"Is mother so unfavorable about the future of the Oda family?"
Pu Shengxianxiu sighed.
"Fire is cooking oil, flowers are blooming, who knows how long it can last. Since His Highness Oda can't trust me, why should I worry about the Oda family?
The saint is a kind man, and the Kamao family has a favored Shiba retainer like you, so there is no reason to gamble the future on the Oda family's dangerous ship.
Get off the ship early and have peace of mind. Even if the Oda family really skyrockets in the future, we don't need to be jealous. This wealth is too hot to get, and a wise man will not take it."
Pu Shengshixiang nodded and said.
"I will obey my mother's arrangements."
From the perspective of the Kamao clan, the Kamao family should have abandoned their mentality of sitting on the fence long ago and fallen into the warm embrace of the Shiba family.
But because the family business is supported by her mother, she has little influence at home. If her mother is willing to return from the lost path, she will of course give her full support.
It is indeed good to go back to the Kamao clan and become a nominal family governor, slowly taking over the family business, and making the Hino Castle of the Kamao family become an important support point for the Shiba family in Minamiomi.
But this matter, Pu Shengshi Township still thought too little.
The reason why Kenshu Hamo finally decided to entrust the family business to his daughter and completely invest in the Shiba family was that Kenshu Hamo discovered that his daughter was no longer a hina.
When she was less than ten years old, she was entrusted with Shiba Yiyin as a minor surname. She has been loyal and loyal over the years. Her feelings towards the saint are not as simple as the ordinary friendship between a monarch and his ministers.
Pu Shengxianxiu had long known that his daughter had a deep love for Shiba Yiyin, and she had also been worried about this matter.
After all, the Kamao clan is her legitimate daughter, and she shoulders the important responsibility of inheriting the family business. She can't just have a crush on Shiba Yigen and stay unmarried for the rest of her life, right?
But as Shiba Yoshiyin walked into Shinto and was regarded as a living god who had descended from a saint, Kamao Kenhide's mind completely changed.
If the daughter can really climb into the saint's bed, the future of the Kamao family will be limitless.
And her daughter did not disappoint Pu Shengxianxiu. When Pu Shengxianxiu found out that her daughter was no longer a baby, she was immediately surprised.
Given the obsession with the saint in the Kamao clan, it is impossible for her to find another man outside. She must have had something profound and simple with the saint.
Po Shengxianxiu's speculation is not unfounded, because the Tongxinzhong Group plays such a heavy role in the Sibo family, it is similar to a central organization.
As the head of Tongxinzhongbi, the secretariat, and the importance of Pu Sheng's hometown, the saint must also have seen it.
The village of Kamou clan sits in such an important position. There is no reason for the saint not to completely make her one of his own. How can outsiders feel at ease with her?
Pu Shengxianxiu became very excited when he thought that the village of Pu Sheng might be pregnant with the seed of a saint.
At this time, the Kamao family was still a subsidiary of the Oda family, while Kenhide Kamao already had higher pursuits.
Once a divine descendant is born in the Kamao clan village, he and Oda Nobunaga will be sisters in the same temple. Even if the strength of the two families is very different, His Highness Oda is not qualified to be the leader of the Kamao clan.
Xianxiu Pu Sheng expected that when he returned to the village of the Hamo family, he would be able to conceive the divine seed. From then on, the Hamo family would soar into the sky and become a family of divine origin.
After all, the Kamao clan was young and not as good as Kamao, old and cunning. I was fooled into it by a few words, and I really thought that my mother was disillusioned with the Oda family, so she changed her mind and joined the Shiba family.
At this time, Pu Shengxianxiu's eyes occasionally passed over his daughter's belly, and his heart was filled with anticipation.
———
Not far away from Kamao and her daughter, Hashiba Hideyoshi on the other side was also watching Oda Nobunaga and Shiba Yoshigan farewell reluctantly, with unavoidable envy in his eyes.
Suddenly, there was a violent coughing sound beside her. She turned around and saw that it was Takenaka Shigeharu who was pale and wasting away day by day.
"Hime Takenaka, your condition hasn't improved yet, so you shouldn't come out to see her off this time and let the cold wind blow again."
Takenaka Shigeharu shook his head.
"Don't worry, my lord, I won't be dead for a while. The Shiba and Oda families have joined forces. I really can't rest assured if I don't observe the two masters closely."
Listening to Takenaka Shigeharu's unlucky words, Hideyoshi Hashiba frowned slightly, but finally sighed.
"You are just too serious, and your health is getting worse and worse. What you need now is to rest, don't rush."
Looking at Oda Nobunaga in the distance, Takenaka Shigeharu sighed.
"There's no hurry, we don't have much time to stay in Omi."
Hideyoshi Hashiba narrowed his eyes.
"how do I say this?"
Takenaka Shigeharu said.
"The main hall seems to be more urgent than before, and the Oda family is about to expand rapidly again.
Master Shibata Katsuie is in Echizen Province and is attacking Kaga Province. Lord Ikeda Tsuneki is about to attack Settsu Province. The Hashiba family will definitely be asked to lead troops to help in the battle.
The Echizen Corps is strong, so most of the Hashiba family will go to Settsu Country to help in the war. Once Settsu Country is captured, the Hashiba family will not be far away from Omi."
Hashiba Hideyoshi frowned.
"You mean the hall will change my title?"
Takenaka Shigeharu gasped twice and said.
"The main palace will definitely move all its powerful retainers out of the country to ensure that it has an absolute advantage that can suppress the expansion of the retainers.
Whether it's Shibata, Ikeda, Niwa, or you, all the important officials of the family must leave the core territory of the Oda family.
The two countries of Owari and Mino have been completely digested by the main hall. The Kitahata letter bag of Ise country belongs to the Oda clan, and its retainers and power are all dispatched by the main hall. Ise country is equivalent to the direct leader of the main hall.
Now, the main hall has moved its residence to Azuchi Castle in Minami Omi, and the next step is to digest Minami Omi.
The Hashiba family's territory in Kitaomi will probably not be able to be saved. Once Settsu Province is captured, you will probably be moved out and continue to move to the front lines."
Hideyoshi Hashiba smiled bitterly.
"I worked hard to stabilize Kitaomi, but the main hall will soon come to pick peaches, which makes me a little unwilling."
Takenaka Shigeharu's face turned pale, he coughed and said with a smile.
"Who would be willing to do that? Shibata Katsuie-sama's prosperous territory in Higashi Mino was also transferred to Echizen Country by the main hall?
The main hall's intention is to continuously move the retainers' territory to the front line, forcing the retainers to work hard on the front line and not dare to slack off.
Everyone knows in their hearts that winning the battle is nothing more than helping the main hall to stabilize its new leader, waiting to be picked, and continue to move out. If it loses, it will be punished, and the accumulation over the years will be wiped out, leaving nothing.
The original feudal rules of keeping the land of the Wu family were destroyed by the main hall. Everyone was like half-starved wild dogs, feeding only the ambition of one person in the main hall.
But who dares to resist the main hall? The core territory of the Oda family is getting bigger and bigger, and the strength of the main hall is getting stronger and stronger. Everyone will only fear her more than before."
Hashiba Hideyoshi whispered.
"I hope she will die more than before."
Takenaka Shigeharu smiled and nodded.
"Yes, as the territory of the Oda family grows larger and larger, the Oda retainers will become more and more eager to die in the main hall.
Only in this way can the Oda family return to the tradition of the samurai family, and this big cake can be shared by the retainers.
The better the Oda family develops, the more everyone wants the main hall to die, which is really ironic."
