Hashiba Hideyoshi's eyes widened, staring intently at Takenaka Shigeharu's ashen face.
Takenaka Shigeharu seemed to have come back to her senses, with a sickly rosy look on her face, as if her strength had returned to her body, and she spoke her last words of advice with all her strength.
Hideyoshi Hashiba pursed his lips and said.
"You once said that I can do it...I can catch up with him..."
Takenaka Shigeharu sighed.
"This time, that time.
Saints can be the starting point for igniting your ambitions, but they should not be the shackles that restrict your future development.
I admit that I underestimated the saint's ambition.
If the saint only circulates in the circle of traditional martial arts, as long as you replace Oda, as long as you are strong enough, then there is hope for the saint and you.
But the saint's decision was beyond my expectations. He actually followed the path of the gods, suppressed human desires with divine power, sacrificed his own chastity, and hatched various families of Sibo gods.
He has completely ignored historical evaluation, and does not care that he will be ridiculed as a slut by future generations, and he only focuses on spreading his bloodline.
The saint was selfless, and the sacrifices he endured were so great that I cannot describe or imagine them, and you have completely lost the opportunity to stand side by side with him."
Hideyoshi Hashiba's breathing became a little heavier, unwilling to give up.
"Why, why can Oda Nobunaga do it, but I can't..."
The emperor and his ministers knew each other well, and there were no outsiders here. Hideyoshi Hashiba also openly revealed his true feelings and wanted to know more about it.
When Takenaka Shigeharu was about to die, there was nothing he could not say, so he spoke it out quickly and explained it clearly.
"It is impossible for Oda Nobunaga to realize her wish. The merger of Oda and Shiba is just her wishful thinking and cannot come true.
When a saint takes up the path of God and rules the island country with divine power, all people lose the qualification to be his partner.
In the past, only gods chose mortals to propagate their bloodline, and no mortals could stand shoulder to shoulder with gods.
Oda Nobunaga thought she could, but in fact the more she struggled, the closer she came to death.
The majesty of gods cannot be challenged. Even if the gods themselves do not intend to cause harm, others will uphold the sanctity of divine rights and thoroughly strangle mortals who violate divine rights.
Sibo's divine right is not the private property of one saint, but is jointly maintained by all martial artists who obey the divine right and respect the gods.
Oda Nobunaga, she is looking for death. And her self-destruction will also be your best opportunity to soar into the sky.
My lord, if you want to conquer the world, you must defeat two people. Only by defeating Oda Nobunaga's tyranny and Shiba Yoshigan's Shinto can you become the master of the world.
There is no second choice, no second way, because your background is too low.
The Wu family respects bloodline and even worships the strong.
Only by defeating Oda Nobunaga and Shiba Yoshigan and proving that you are the strongest can the samurai abandon the theory of blood and truly worship at your feet.
Your road is difficult and bumpy, and there is no room for any personal affection between children. Every fantasy you have about the saint will turn into a sharp sword and pierce your heart.
Oda Nobunaga will serve as a warning for you, please read carefully and think clearly about her fate.
Mortals, if you want to understand your situation, the only way is to kill the gods and not to walk with the gods."
Hideyoshi Hashiba narrowed his eyes, clenched his fists and said nothing.
She was born as a servant, and indeed she was as humble as dust, and was despised by the Wu family.
Over the years, she has been working hard to climb up, but she just held her breath for the sake of the delusion in her heart.
She wanted to become the woman of Sibo Yiyin, and she wanted to hold the most noble man in this island country under her.
Conquering the world and obtaining Sibo Yiyin, these two things have become her obsession. The two complement each other and constantly stimulate her to move forward bravely.
Hideyoshi Hashiba never imagined that there would be a day when conquering the world and obtaining Shiba Yiyin would become contradictory points.
Takenaka Shigeharu said it right, if she wants to win the world, she must give up Shiba Yiyin.
Yoshigan Shiba's Shinto has taken shape, and there is no place for mortals beside the gods. Oda Nobunaga's ambition will inevitably fail. She is too arrogant and wishful thinking.
Hashiba Hideyoshi was far inferior to Oda Nobunaga in all aspects. If he insisted on following Oda Nobunaga's old path and wanted everything, the final result would be even more miserable than Oda Nobunaga's, and he would get nothing.
So, which one is more important, the world? or the Sibo Yiyin?
Even if Hashiba Hideyoshi didn't say anything, he gradually had the answer in his heart.
She has gone through countless hardships and finally climbed to where she is today. She is ambitious and wants to replace Oda Nobunaga and become a world leader. How can she give up her great ambition for a man?
Why should a good daughter have a husband?
Takenaka Shigeharu kept staring at Hideyoshi Hashiba's eyes, watching her eyes change from confusion to determination to determination, and he already understood her choice.
Smiling slightly, Takenaka Shigeharu let go of his worries, but his body suddenly started to tremble as if it collapsed, and he spurted out a large mouthful of blood mist.
Hashiba Hideyoshi was startled and stood up to call the doctor, but was grabbed by Takenaka Shigeharu.
Takenaka Shigeharu's fingers were very strong, not like a patient at all, tightly holding Hashiba Hideyoshi's wrist.
Her face flushed, and her voice was much louder than before.
"My lord, please don't leave! Listen to me!"
"But you're vomiting blood!"
"Please, Lord, hear me out! I have no time!"
Hashiba Hideyoshi looked at Takenaka Shigeharu who was pleading, gritted his teeth, and sat back.
"you say."
Takenaka Shigeharu took a deep breath, wiped the blood stains on his lips, and said.
"I am very touched that the Lord is willing to listen to my advice and abandon the love of his children for the great cause.
I can no longer hold on, so I have two final strategies, which I offer to the Lord.
First, please ask the Lord to reuse Takataka Kuroda.
Kuroda Takaka is extremely talented and her strategy is not inferior to mine, and the Lord needs her strength."
Hideyoshi Hashiba thought.
"Is this the reason why you did not hesitate to anger Oda Nobunaga, but also tried your best to speak for Kuroda Takataka and save the Kuroda family?"
Takenaka Shigeharu nodded.
"good.
Kuroda Takataka devoted himself to serving the Oda family, but he was accidentally imprisoned in the local area while trying to persuade the local samurai to surrender to the Oda family.
Oda Nobunaga didn't know why, and thought she was betraying him, so he actually wanted to kill the whole family that Kuroda Takataka sent to Azuchi Castle as hostages. This is arrogance!
Kuroda Takataka is talented and ambitious, and is familiar with the geography and humanities of the Western Kingdom. She is actually more suitable than me to assist you in launching the strategy for the Western Kingdom. Even if I am healthy, I cannot compare to her in this matter."
Hideyoshi Hashiba nodded and said.
"That's a good thing.
But Kuroda Takaka escaped from death this time, leaving disabilities on his body and his temper became much gloomier.
Moreover, her family members who were taken as hostages were also implicated and frightened, and I was afraid that she would become resentful and turn back on me."
Takenaka Shigeharu smiled.
"Resentment is human nature, but with her intelligence, she naturally knows who to hate.
She can hate Oda Nobunaga, but she cannot hate you.
Because she needs you to use her talents, and you need you to set a stage for her to make contributions in this troubled world.
A thousand-mile horse always exists, but a bole does not always exist.
Kuroda Takataka is very smart. The stage in the Kodera family is too small. She needs a bigger stage and will not ruin her own future just for the sake of temporary excitement."
Hideyoshi Hashiba sighed.
"The more you say that, the more uneasy I feel. Driven by profit, it won't last long after all.
These Ji warriors who believe in the Nanman religion are really a bit unruly and uneasy."
Zhu Zhongzhi Zhengse Dao.
