Chapter 1965 Let Kijimaru inherit the Akechi family
Maeda Toshiie said.
"Now there are two groups of people who wish for Mitsuhide Akechi to die. One is the group of Nizi's retainers headed by Nizi Yukimori, and the other is the retainers of the Oda family who want to get a bargaining chip to avenge the Lord.
Nizi Xingsheng's problem is both difficult and easy to handle.
If Akechi Mitsuhide is the real culprit who killed Nizi Katsuhisa, then what reason does the Nizi family have to ask the master's family to help them return to the West and Izumo?
The saint made an agreement with Nizi Shengjiu that she would be loyal to Sipo, and Sipo would help her revive Nizi and return to her homeland.
You have fulfilled your promise, but she failed to grasp it and died on the journey to the Western Kingdom.
Now that Katsuhisa Nizi is dead, the Shiba family has no obligation to use resources again to help the Nizi family return to Izumo Country.
The Maori family is the overlord of the Western Kingdom. It controls more than ten countries in the Western Kingdom and has a stone worth millions. Why would the Shiba family deliberately set up such an enemy instead of fighting to the death?
Isn't it because the Maori family killed Nizi Katsuhisa? The saint was angry for his loyal ministers and did not want to make peace with the Maori family.
If, I mean if, Nizi Katsuhisa was killed by Akechi Mitsuhide, then this matter was an internal dispute within the Shiba family, and there would be no reason for the Shiba family to be hostile to the Mori family.
Intimidated by the power of the saint and the majesty of the Kyoto shogunate, assuming that the Maori family is willing to be patriotic, the Shiba family can have a good talk with the Maori family."
Yoshigami looked at Maeda Toshiie who was talking eloquently in astonishment. He didn't expect that she would come up with such a bad idea, but it seemed... feasible.
The biggest enemy of the Nizi family is the Maori family. The Nizi family, led by Nizi Shengjiu, has been fighting for more than ten years in order to return to the Western Kingdom, defeat the Maori family, and revive the Nizi family.
Nizi Yukimori inherited Nizi Katsuhisa's legacy. Nizi's family shared the same hatred, and the blood feud with the Maori family became impossible to reconcile.
Because Nizi Katsuhisa followed Yoshigan's order to go to the Western Kingdom to fight, and she died in the hands of the Mori family. The Mori family did not respect the saint. Sooner or later, the Shiba family would attack Mori again to regain their dignity.
But if Nizi Yukimori insists that Akechi Mitsuhide killed Nizi Katsuhisa, then this is dog-eat-dog within the Shiba family.
The Mori family has already done enough to save face by sending Nizi Katsukuri out of the country. Why should the Shiba family still keep an eye on the Mori family? This is logically unjustifiable.
The Mogami Date family in Ou can kneel down and protect their family property, but why can’t the Mori family do it?
The Nizi family cannot put their own personal hatred above the political interests of the master's family. The whole country is a game of chess, and the Nizi family must obey the overall situation.
In this way, it is debatable whether the Shiba family treats the Maori family in peace or in war, and the policy is not so certain.
This idea of the Maeda Toshi family is obviously aimed at the Nizi family's Achilles' heel.
If the Nizi family admits that Nizi Katsuhisa was killed by the Maori family, then the Shiba family will resolutely implement the political attitude of being hostile to the Maori family.
But if the Nizi family believes that Akechi Mitsuhide killed Nizi Katsuhisa, then they cannot morally kidnap the main family. Naturally, the Shiba family can have normal contact with the Mori family and try to surrender.
Yoshigami didn't know whether Nizi Yukimori could tolerate her stubborn temper, but Nizi's retainers would definitely hold on to the fiery governor and not let her mess around.
Nizi Yukimori was very sad when Nizi Shengji died, but if Nizi's family's ten-year plan to return to the Western Kingdom failed, the entire Nizi family would have to cry together.
Compared with the rise and fall of the family business, the family governor is actually not that important to the Wu family group.
Everyone has been wandering outside for more than ten years, hoping to return to their hometown in glory and return to the heyday of Nizi's family as the Yin and Yang governor of the Western Kingdom.
In order to return home in glory, Nizi's retainers would definitely let Mitsuhide Akechi off with their noses pinched, insisting that it was the Mori family who caused Nizi Katsuhisa's death.
As for how they cried to force Nizi Yukimori to change his mind and not care about Yoshiyin, Yoshiyin could also breathe a sigh of relief.
Yoshigan couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Maeda Toshiie and sighed.
"Gao, it's really high. This is the only way to deal with that stubborn girl Yukimori."
Maeda Toshiie chuckled.
"The saint praises you."
Yiyin asked with great interest.
"What about the Oda family?"
Maeda Toshiie's expression turned a little melancholy and he sighed.
"Your Highness Oda must be strong throughout her life. I have been playing games with her for many years and understand her thoughts very well.
I once thought that if one day, you and the world were placed on opposite ends of the scale, would His Highness Oda choose you?
If this is the case, it may be the best ending, but unfortunately, this possibility no longer exists."
Yiyin's expression turned bitter, and he pursed his lips, not knowing what to say.
Maeda Toshiie shook his head in confusion and said.
"I'm sorry, I don't want to make you sad, but I feel it is my responsibility to say something to Her Majesty Oda that she really loves you very much.
The birth of Miraculous Pill makes her very happy, and she has changed a lot for you."
Yiyin closed his eyes in pain.
"I know, of course I know."
Maeda Toshiie has followed Oda Nobunaga since he was a child. Although he and Oda Nobunaga eventually parted ways because of Yoshihiro's relationship, they still have feelings for him.
Today, Maeda Toshiie is holding his child in his arms. While he is glad that he got what he wanted, he can't help but cry out for Oda Nobunaga.
Maeda Toshiie can understand the saint's unwillingness to let Akechi Mitsuhide die, but Oda Nobunaga's feelings for the saint should not be buried.
More importantly, Maeda Toshiie had to use the saint's guilt towards Oda Nobunaga to derive his subsequent suggestions.
Maeda Toshiie held the child in his arms and bowed cautiously.
"Akechi Mitsuhide was wrong. She thought that by killing His Highness Oda, no one in the world would be able to hinder the saint.
But she didn't know that if His Highness Oda hadn't shocked the world and suppressed countless careerists, there would be many people in the world who were unruly and some who were called females.
The saint could obviously influence His Highness Oda with his love, but Mitsuhide Akechi made a huge mess. How stupid is he?
I am willing to lend a helping hand to the saint to save Akechi Mitsuhide's life, but the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, so let Akechi Mitsuhide use his life to atone for his sins."
Yoshigan stared at Maeda Toshiie and asked slowly.
"How do you want her to atone for her sins?"
Maeda Toshiie said solemnly.
"Let Mitsuhide Akechi adopt Kishimaru, let Mitsuhide Akechi inherit everything from Mitsuhide Akechi, and use Mitsuhide Akechi's life to raise children who treat His Highness Oda well as atonement."
Yiyin was stunned.
"Are you going to let Kikimaru give up Oda Nobunaga's inheritance of four million koku and inherit Akechi Mitsuhide's family fortune of several thousand koku?"
Maeda Toshiie nodded.
"Yes, this is the only way I can think of to protect Akechi Mitsuhide and Kijimaru at the same time.
No one knows the situation of the Oda family better than me. Kijimaru cannot inherit this family business because you will not be willing to put her in the hot seat and take advantage of the fire."
Maeda Toshiie paused and looked at the saint. Yoshigan frowned and asked Maeda Toshiie to continue.
