After Ozo Changan left, Naomasa Ii looked angrily at Kamao clan and asked reproachfully.
"Why didn't you let me tell you? If you keep this up, Hideyoshi Hashiba will defeat the Oda family. If she succeeds, it will be a big trouble in the future!"
Pu Shengshixiang shook his head and said.
"The saint is very upset right now. You have a too strong temper. To force the lord like this is not the way to be a minister, and nothing good can come out of it."
Naomasa Ii said unhappily.
"Now what?"
Pu Shengshixiang sneered.
"Maeda thought that without her, we would not be able to deal with Hideyoshi Hashiba, so he deliberately made things difficult for me and forced me to give in.
I just won't let her get what she wants!
The Shiba family's military power in Kinki cannot be mobilized for the time being, but the opposition within the Oda family to Hideyoshi Hashiba is not weak, especially the intervention of Tokugawa Ieyasu, which can be used to our advantage."
Naomasa Ii asked.
"how do you want to do it?"
Pu Shengshixiang sighed.
“Every year is hard, every year is hard, every pass is hard and every pass is hard.
The sage is in a dilemma and does not want to force Maeda's interests to obey, so we should ask the sage for instructions and give Tokugawa Ieyasu some support.
The Shiba family does not need to mix anything openly, just give the Tokugawa family a reassurance and let Tokugawa Ieyasu patiently deal with Hashiba Hideyoshi.
I don’t believe that Maeda’s interests can last too long. If she is seeking her own selfish interests, disregarding the kindness of the saint, and destroying the Shiba family’s great cause, then she is willing to fall and no one can help her!"
The Hamo Clan knew in their hearts that it was impossible for them to completely break up with the Shiba local samurai family and engage in an all-out confrontation.
But looking at it on the other hand, Maeda's interests cannot be carried to the end. For the sake of the central-district conflict, regardless of the overall interests of the Shiba family, the saint is disappointed in her.
The saint's prestige is too high, and the internal game between all parties in Spo seems to be fierce, but in fact they are all trying to win the saint's sympathy and support.
Kamao clan and Maeda's interests are also afraid of two sides. Both sides gritted their teeth and pretended to be tough, playing a coward's game.
It's like driving carriages meeting each other on a narrow road, and both parties keep whipping their horses to speed up.
Anyone who gives way at this time is a coward who has failed. He will suffer heavy losses, but he can avoid a bigger conflict.
The interests of the Kamo clan and Maeda are at loggerheads, they are betting that the other side will give in first, but they are also afraid that the other side will not give in, which will damage the overall interests of the Shiba family and make the saint hate themselves.
This complex psychological game makes both sides constantly looking for foreign aid to increase the pressure on the other side, hoping to force the other side to make concessions first.
Dazang Changan's stance today is to put pressure on the Kamo clan township.
But Kamouso clan knows that there are many people who oppose him, but he has done nothing wrong, and the saint understands him in his heart.
Therefore, the truth is on the side of Kamoi Township and on the side of the Tongxin Secretariat, which represents the interests of the central government. All Kamoi Township needs is time.
The Oda Civil War is in full swing. Assuming that Hideyoshi Hideyoshi is unstoppable, the importance of the military represented by Maeda's interests will continue to rise, and eventually it will overwhelm the Kamao clan, and the central government will be forced to give in.
But if the Oda civil war reaches a stalemate and Hashiba Hideyoshi is unable to conquer the Oda family in a short time, then the pressure will be on the interests of the day before yesterday.
There is no need to rush to intervene in the Oda civil war. The Kamo clan can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and watch Maeda's interests become ugly and put local private interests above the public interests of Shiba.
The longer time goes by, the less the saint can tolerate Maeda's nonsense. In the end, Maeda has to bow her head, and it is useless for anyone to speak for her.
Because both the central and local governments knew very well that the Pu Sheng clan had no selfish motives, and all she did was to gather local power for the saint and improve the political system of the Siba family.
Therefore, what the Kamao clan lacked was only time, and she wanted to entrust Tokugawa Ieyasu to help the Oda envelope block Hashiba Hideyoshi's attack.
The foundation of the Oda family is in the Noo Plains, in the million-koku territory of Owari and Mino.
As long as this place is not controlled by Hashiba Hideyoshi, the Oda retainers will not completely fall to Hashiba Hideyoshi, and the Oda civil war will not be over.
Kamaojigo explained, and Naomasa Ii kept nodding his head.
"Okay, I will go and tell the saint now that as long as the saint is willing to give His Highness Tokugawa Ieyasu a guarantee, she will definitely fight with Hideyoshi Hashiba to the end."
Pu Shengshixiang shook his head and said.
"I'd better go.
From now on, you must be careful in your words and deeds, and do not get involved in the conflict of interests between me and Maeda. There will be many things like today's Dazang Chang'an in the future, so you can no longer interfere casually."
Naomasa Ii said unhappily.
"What do you mean, do you look down on me? We have known each other for many years and have always advanced and retreated together. When have I ever let you fight alone?"
Pusheng Shixiang shook his head and sighed.
"It's not that I don't trust you, but I trust you too much, but now is not the right time.
Things this time are very different from the past. If you and I fight against the three major SPO leaders together, and if things are not harmonious, then who should be responsible for the Tongxin Secretariat?
I am the chief of Tongxinzhong, and this matter should be done by me. If I fail, you will be the next chief of Tongxinzhong. If you don't want to take up the responsibility at that time, I will look down on you."
Kamaojigo's face was solemn, making Ii Naomasa pause for breath for a few moments.
"Is it that serious? The saint recognizes you and will not let you bleed and shed tears."
Kamojigo smiled.
"Of course I believe in saints, but I'm afraid that saints will make other choices to protect me."
Ii Naomasa was stunned.
"Other options?"
Pu Shengshixiang sighed.
"There is a cloud in the sky. Chong'er was born outside, and Shen Sheng died inside."
Naomasa Ii's light flashed.
"Those guys don't have the guts to kill you."
Pu Sheng's village chuckled.
"But they have the guts to throw dirty water at me, ruin my reputation, and mess with my territory.
I am no longer the person I used to be. My mother passed the throne to me. I am now the governor of the Pu Sheng family, and I am full of things that people can catch.
I am serving in the Central Committee, and I cannot restrain the young and old of the Kamao family in Hino Castle. They think that I am proud of my success, so they pretend to be powerful and do things unscrupulously. Aoji Shigetsuna is one of them.
I have this huge weakness, which means I am not invulnerable. My political opponents understand it, and the saints can also see it.
If the conflict continues to intensify and the saint releases me to protect me, I won't be surprised at all.
We are right, the saint knows it in his heart, so sooner or later he will make up his mind to solve the problem.
Before preparing to go to war, the most direct way for a saint to protect his own people who need protection is to divert them away from the whirlpool of disputes.
Therefore, I am the first person to break up the contradiction between the Spo Center and the local government, but if things do not go smoothly, this matter may have to be left to you."
Ii Naomasa looked at Kamao clan village with a sad face.
"This is unfair to you. You are dedicated to the public good and have no selfish motives. Why should you be transferred from the center?"
Pu Shengshixiang said with a bitter smile.
"There are many helpless things in this world. If you want to do something seriously, you can't take too much care of yourself.
Of course, things may not develop to the worst point, I am just preparing for a rainy day.
But if we get to that point, only if I step down can we continue to advance our cause.
The saint will give me and Maeda a fifty-fifty stake in each other's interests, so that all parties in the family have nothing to say, so that it will be easier for you to work well in the future."
Ii Naomasa looked unhappy, but under the slightly pleading eyes of Kamao clan, he nodded reluctantly.
