People in the world often say that poor and humble couples suffer from everything.
In fact, this statement is not inconsistent with rulers. Rule requires costs, and innovation requires costs even more. Poor people are not qualified to engage in hegemony.
Why were most of the early dynasties politically clear and enterprising? The biggest reason is that when the political power was first established, there were minimal constraints and healthy finances. The Sibo family is now in this period.
Although Shiba was selected and restructured, making the Shiba organization open to the public for examination would harm the interests of the Shiba Ji Knights.
But as long as the saint can provide enough benefits and ensure that the cake gets bigger and bigger, the Sibo retainers group will naturally be able to accept some system changes.
Therefore, Qian Zhuang is a coward and has no money to negotiate.
Yiyin and Kamao Clan were discussing the details of Shiba's selection and restructuring, when suddenly there was a knocking sound outside the door.
"What's up?"
The sliding door opened, Tachibana Kanade knelt at the door and bowed.
"Sage, Lord Nizi Shengjiu requests an audience."
Yiyin raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"Ni Ziji is here?
Shixiang, I basically agree with your idea. Take the time to make a detailed plan and submit it to me. It is best to complete it before spring.
I would like to send the draft to the three major sponsors and close relatives before the spring review to seek their opinions so that we can discuss and implement it as soon as possible."
Pu Sheng clan bowed and resigned, and quickly went back to the Tongxin Secretariat for a meeting to come up with specific regulations as soon as possible.
Yoshigami glanced at Kanade Tachibana, who was waiting silently by the side. This guy's demeanor was becoming more and more island-like. If the delicate face with silver hair and silver eyes were blocked, it would be hard to tell that he was a southern barbarian.
Every time he saw her, Yiyin would subconsciously look at her red lips.
She was completing the weekly tasks assigned by Yukino Takada better and better, and sometimes Yoshigage even had the illusion that she would be sucked dry.
The sharp contrast between Tachibana Kanade's concentration when completing tasks and his calm indifference in daily life made Yoshigage feel a little dazed.
"saint?"
"Well, please invite Ni Ziji to come in and talk."
"Hi."
Tachibana Zuo bowed and agreed, then went out to deliver the message. As soon as they sat together, the beautiful figure of the Nanman people was revealed.
Yiyin looked at her swaying slender waist and subconsciously touched his nose.
It's a pity that Yukino Takada only allows Tachibana to engage in a verbal battle, and only Harono Takada is present can unlock other postures.
Yoshigan has been away from Kinki for more than a year, and has only smelled the aroma of meat, but has not tasted it, which is a pity.
However, since I'm back in Kinki, why don't I go to Sakai Port for a visit, or let the Takada sisters come to Tamonyama Castle to report on their work?
Yiyin shook his head and put aside the thoughts in his mind.
Maybe this is Takada Yukino's conspiracy. This little girl looks stupid and stupid, but in fact she is much scarier than her businessman sister with a shrewd face. She knows Yiyin too well.
After sitting in a position above ten thousand people for a long time, Yiyin felt that he was becoming less and less bound by secular rules. After only a few years of being a member of the world, he became as unscrupulous as he is now.
I really don’t know what I will become in the future? After being a common man in the world for ten or twenty years, will I become more perverted?
Yoshigan watched Tachibana Kanade's hips swaying and disappearing into the courtyard, and couldn't help but let out a breath, stood up and walked out of the door.
The sky was getting dark and it was approaching evening. A gust of cold winter wind passed by, which was more biting than the previous days. It blew on the face and stung the skin.
There are large fire pits placed on the left and right sides of the porch, and there is a bonfire burning in the courtyard in the distance.
From time to time, a few sparks would pop out of the smokeless high-quality firewood, and the people serving around him would bow to the saint one after another.
The cold wind brought up the smoke from the fireworks, which neutralized the cold air. The temperature was still okay. Yiyin tightened his coat tightly, walked down the porch steps, and looked at the courtyard door.
Soon, Tachibana Kaoru took Nizi Shengjiu to the hospital in a hurry.
Seeing the saint standing in the courtyard blowing the wind, seemingly to welcome his arrival, Nizi Shengjiu trembled all over and stepped forward to kowtow to the ground.
Yiyin grabbed her arm and pulled her half-soft knees up from the gravel road.
“It’s freezing cold, why are you kneeling?
I sat in the house for a day, and then I went out for a walk to rejuvenate my blood."
Nizi Shengjiu bowed and choked with sobs.
"How can I be so virtuous and capable as to be worthy of such kindness from a saint?"
Yiyin patted her shoulder and smiled.
"If you can afford it, of course you can.
I left Kinki for a year and left all the mess in Kinki to you. I am the one who feels sorry for you.
On the outside, there is Oda Nobunaga who is difficult to deal with, on the inside there is Maeda who is arrogant about his interests, and there is Akechi Mitsuhide... Well, let’s not mention this guy.
You have to take care of all the chores inside and outside to prevent chaos, Ni Ziji, you have worked really hard."
Yoshigan knew very well how many bastards there were in Kinki. If Oda Nobunaga didn't do something while she was away, she wouldn't be Oda Nobunaga.
Akechi Mitsuhide is full of bad ideas, she helps the Oda family to help the evil tyrants, who knows what conspiracy is hidden there.
Big bosses inside and outside, such as Maeda Benefit and Hosokawa Fujitaka, all have deep thoughts and ulterior motives.
Katsuhisa Niko serves as the ballast stone left in the Kinki Shiba Territory for Yiyin, and the pressure on her is not that great.
Rights and obligations are equal.
Yoshigan promoted Katsuhisa Niko to be the chief of Kinki Shiba's retainers, so she naturally had to bear the greatest responsibility. No matter which bastard caused trouble, she would be responsible for wiping his butt.
Seeing the wrinkles picking up at the corners of Nizi Shengjiu's eyes and looking tired, Yiyin couldn't help but sigh.
"Ni Ziji, I haven't seen you for a year and I have gone through a lot of changes. I still need to take care of myself.
You came here so late, you must have just entered the city and haven't had dinner yet, right?"
"Hi."
"Minato, ask the dining room to prepare two dinners. I want to eat with Niziji."
Tachibana Kanade bowed and left, and Yoshigan took Nizi Katsuhisa's hand and said affectionately.
"It's cold outside, let's sit inside."
Being held by Yi Yin and walking into the room, this respect made Nizi Shengjiu's eyes wet.
The relationship between the king and his ministers has reached this point, and only by dedicating himself to death can he repay the kindness of the king.
Yamanaka Yukimori was obsessed with saints and had committed a heinous crime in Koriyama Castle. Nizi Katsuhisa sold himself to the Shiba family for the sake of sisterly love and atonement for Yamanaka Yukimori.
But she didn't know that it was actually Yoshigan who made the drunken mess that time, and Yukimori Yamanaka was the innocent one.
It's just that the special effects of "Life Is Not Mistaken" are so powerful that the two women, who are not biological sisters but more than biological sisters, accidentally tie their futures to the Spall family.
Now it seems that this result is very good.
Yamazaka Yukimori got his wish and became the saint's guest, and had the opportunity to obtain the divine seed and give birth to a divine descendant.
And Nizi Katsuhisa also became one of the most important ministers of the Shiba family, reviving the Nizi family business in Kinki.
Nowadays, Nizi Shengjiu is very content. She does not want to have any special relationship with the saint that goes beyond the ruler and his ministers. For that kind of thing, another big boss of Nizi's Shanzhong party, Yamanaka Yukimori, can do it for her.
Nizi Shengjiu just wanted to be a good minister of the Shiba family and bask in the saint's grace.
Therefore, even if they were held by the saint at this moment, there was still no wave in their hearts, because both of them cherished this hard-won friendship between monarch and minister.
There is no shortage of licking dogs in Yiyin who want to go to the holy bed. On the contrary, pure loyal ministers like Nizi Shenghisu who strictly abide by the righteousness of monarch and minister are too rare, so they should be cherished.
The two of them took their seats in the house, and Yiyin asked with a smile.
"How have you been lately? I heard that Mitsuhide Akechi has caused you a lot of trouble?"
Nizi Shengjiu smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Mr. Akechi has helped me a lot this year. If she hadn't worked hard to deal with Settsu, Kaga, Ishiyama and other matters, I really don't know how I would have dealt with it.
Your Majesty Oda's ambition is too fierce and her movements are too fast, making it dizzying and difficult to keep up with her rhythm."
Yiyin chuckled.
Nizi Katsuhisa said he was grateful for Mitsuhide Akechi's help, but his tone seemed to be like "I thank you, I thank your whole family" for complaining.
Akechi Mitsuhide was in charge of the Fushimi Castle system, and aside from Nizi Katsuhisa, he devoted himself to helping Oda Nobunaga expand the territory. This information is already on Yoshigan's desk.
How could Yiyin not know how aggrieved Nizi Shengjiu was at being marginalized?
But Oda Nobunaga's surly temperament could only be tolerated by Akechi Mitsuhide's flattery.
If someone else were to handle the negotiations between the Shiba and Oda families, Oda Nobunaga would definitely lead him by the nose. How could Akechi Mitsuhide hide the needle in the paper better?
After all, Oda Nobunaga was arrogant. Apart from Shiba Yoshigan, there was no one else in her eyes, and her confidence was boundless.
The snowball of the Oda family started rolling, and the four million koku territory was reformed and centralized by Oda Nobunaga, and was firmly under his control.
In her eyes, the martial arts families in the world are nothing more than chickens and dogs. If you drag your own soldiers around and win, how can Feilongqi lose?
Oda Nobunaga does not need to be cautious about people other than Yoshihiro Shiba. From a strategic perspective, no one can threaten her.
With Nizi Katsuhisa's status, how could he let Oda Nobunaga take another look at him?
In other words, Akechi Mitsuhide spent the whole day in front of Oda Nobunaga, being nice and talking nicely, so he could fool that idiot Owari with a few words and barely make her listen.
But what's on Akechi Mitsuhide's mind... Oda Nobunaga just ignores her, but now hanging out with Akechi Mitsuhide all day long and being bewitched by her makes Yoshigage terrified.
Although Yoshigan didn't think that Oda Nobunaga would be as stupid as Ashikaga Yoshiteru and be harmed by Akechi Mitsuhide, he was always a little worried.
However, the Shiba and Oda families worked together to establish the Fushimi Castle system in order to conquer the world together.
Only Akechi Mitsuhide, a dark fox, could play the role of matchmaker. Others such as Nizi Katsuhisa could not withstand the pressure of Oda Nobunaga.
Therefore, even if Yoshigan is a little worried, he can only beat and scare Akechi Mitsuhide, and it is impossible to replace his own vixen at this juncture.
Yiyin sighed and said.
"Ni Ziji, thank you for your hard work."
Nizi Shengjiu smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Thank you saint for your compassion."
The two of them were like mirrors in each other's minds, and there was no need to be hypocritical and polite. This mess in Kinki was indeed a mess.
Seeing the saint return to Kinki, Nizi Katsuhisa could be considered relieved of the heavy burden on his shoulders and breathed a sigh of relief.
Originally, she was very angry that Akechi Mitsuhide was instigating Nizi's old party behind her back, provoking their hatred against the Mori family, and making profits for the Oda family.
But after one year, the changing situation in Kinki had exhausted Nizi Katsuhisa, and he inevitably had the idea that it would be a good idea to go to the West.
Yoshigan didn't know that Nizi Katsuhisa already had the idea of avoiding the Kinki Shiba territorial dispute and conquering the Western Kingdom for the Shiba family, so he asked casually.
"What has Mitsuhide Akechi been busy with recently?"
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the islanders who lack food and clothing are accustomed to staying in bed during the winter and generally do not like to move around.
The Governor of the Wu family convened a large-scale meeting of Ji warriors to discuss matters, and most of them had to wait for the New Year Council. In winter, they mostly met with the big bosses and had heart-to-heart discussions.
When Yoshibank returns to Kinki, others don't have to come to see it, but the three highest-ranking bosses in Kinki must come.
Katsuhisa Niko is in charge of the overall internal affairs, Maeda is in charge of the military affairs, and Akechi Mitsuhide is in charge of foreign affairs.
Now, both Maeda Yoshida and Niko Katsuhisa have met one after another. Only Akechi Mitsuhide is still hooking up with Oda Nobunaga at Ishiyama, which inevitably makes Yoshigami a little unhappy.
Nizi Shengjiu smiled.
"Master Akechi didn't mean to slight the saint, it is indeed inseparable.
After Ishiyama Honganji opened the city and surrendered, it was clear that Master Ru could not trust the Oda family and kept holding Akechi-sama away.
It seems that the Master took his family and his family to Lusen, Kii Country, to preach, and it took him a while to sort out everything.
It is said that the gold and silver alone can be loaded into thirty or forty carts. If there is no Akechi-sama sitting there, I am afraid that someone will get jealous and cause new chaos."
Yiyin sighed, speechless.
When he was invited to participate in the Dharma Assembly at Shishan, he was shocked by the magnificence of Buddhism.
The leader of the Ichiko sect and the head of the Honganji Temple, who are said to be closest to the people at the bottom, can be so luxurious and extravagant, not to mention the nobles of the old sects who have thousands of years of foundation and have taken the upper-class route.
No wonder the Nanman religion is developing rapidly in the island country. It is not that the missionaries are awesome, but their opponents are really bad.
Oda Nobunaga's reputation was not good. When he burned Mount Hiei, he severely robbed the Tendai Sect.
It is obvious that the above people have a great cause, so of course they are afraid that the Oda army will be jealous of money and seize the wealth. They are even more afraid that the soldiers will engage in prostitution and accompany their relatives.
There is no restriction on marriage in the Yixiang sect, all Dharma masters can get married, and Fang officials will naturally marry husbands and have daughters.
At this time, Ishiyama Honganji Temple had laid down its weapons and surrendered to Kaicheng. The rich and wealthy people in the city were nakedly exposed in front of the hungry wolf-like Oda army.
Having lost the ability to protect himself, Akechi Mitsuhide is the life-saving straw for Master Xianru. Of course, he must hold on to Akechi Mitsuhide.
Yiyin shook his head and sighed.
"I will go back and edit a letter and ask Akechi Mitsuhide to help Master Xianru. There is no need to come back in a hurry."
Yu Qing, Yi Gin and Xian Rushang were old acquaintances, and the Shiba family turned to cooperate with the Oda family, which actually meant abandoning the Ichiko clan, which they had cooperated with for many years.
Yoshigan actually felt a little guilty, otherwise he wouldn't have avoided Kanto and ignored the dispute between the Oda family and the Ichibuki clan.
Now that the struggle between the two sides has settled, Master Xianru has abandoned his son and admitted defeat. Yoshihiro stepped in to help protect Master Xianru's dignity, and Oda Nobunaga had nothing to say.
From the perspective of reason, it seems that Master Ru has accepted his defeat, but the people within the Xiangzong may not be convinced.
Although the Ichikoku sect's power had suffered a devastating blow under the attack of the Oda family, there were still three thousand nails left in the broken ship, not to mention that the Honganji Temple had been passed down for ten generations and had been moved twice.
If there really was a military uprising in Ishiyama, and the senior men of Honganji Temple who surrendered were raped and robbed, or even Honganji Xianru himself was killed, it would be a lot of fun.
The situation in Kinki that has finally been stabilized will soon fall into chaos. The excited Ichiboshi believers and the onlookers who are saddened by the death of rabbits and foxes will greatly shake the rule of the Oda family.
And Yoshigan, who cooperates with the Oda family to unify the world, will be passively involved in the new political whirlpool. If he speaks for the Oda family, it will destroy his own righteous character, which will be a real headache.
Since Akechi Mitsuhide used the reputation of the Shiba family as a guarantee, he must ensure that the surrender affairs are successfully handed over.
Both emotionally and rationally, Yoshihiro needed Mitsuhide Akechi to stay there, and he had to give her a letter to increase her deterrence.
The arrogant warriors of the Oda family may not be afraid of Akechi Mitsuhide, a foreign military commander, and they may not be able to control their own hands in the face of beautiful men and wealth.
But when Sibo Yiyin's letter arrived at Shishan, it was an added layer of guarantee with the saint's credibility. Who would dare to mess around?
Although the last battle of Shiba-Oda was short, there were two to three hundred thousand troops piled up on the two battlefields of Echizen Omi, and the battle was a mountain of corpses and seas of blood. Yoshigan personally went into battle and hacked to death countless Oda samurai.
Oda Nobunaga may not be able to restrain the arrogant soldiers under his command, but with the righteous silver in his hands full of the blood of the Oda samurai, he can.
