Uesugi Kenshin had the most violent temper and was the first to lose his composure and asked directly.
"Mr. Shingen is here just to drink tea?
If so, please take your time and appreciate it, I have a lot of chores today, so I won’t accompany you."
Hojo Ushimasa smiled slightly.
"If nothing happens to Mr. Xinxuan, I will take my leave now."
Takeda Shingen glanced at the two women who had a tacit understanding and sighed in his heart.
Although the three powerful Kanto feudal clans coexist externally, the Uesugi and Hojo families are actually closer to each other, and the Takeda family is often ostracized. Ultimately, it is Takeda Shingen's own fault.
Theoretically speaking, among the three powerful clans, the Uesugi family and the Takeda family should be the closest, because both parties are descendants of the famous Miaohong Gensheng.
It is undisputed that the Kai Takeda family is a famous Minamoto family.
Kenshin Uesugi did not hesitate to extinguish the Nagao family in the house and inherit the tradition of the Yamauchi Uesugi family because of the heritage of the Yamauchi Uesugi family, a famous Kanto family and hereditary Kanto rulers.
Later, the Hojo family pretended to be the Hojo Miao family. Although they claimed to be a famous family in Kanto, the Kanto samurai family did not buy it.
The Guandong Plain is the birthplace of the Wu family regime. Just like the emperor of China, a brick thrown on the street can kill five seventh-rank officials.
If you hang out in this place, your ancestors don't have any reputation, so you can't get into the circle at all.
The Go-Hojo family is a branch of the Ise family in Kyoto. They are a foreigner, but they shyly claim to be a famous family in Kanto. How can they be favored by everyone?
Despite the fact that the Hojo family has a large territory, local submission to the Wu family may not necessarily be heartfelt.
Except for a few generational retainers brought by the Hojo family from Kyoto, only God knows what the rest of the retainers think.
Therefore, after Hojo Umasa gave birth to the descendant of the saint, the Hojo family took a piece of reassurance and finally stood their ground as a famous family and were no longer the self-proclaimed impostors.
This was also the reason why the Hojo clan was able to suppress the Hojo retainers and make fourth-generation veterans like Hojo Genan bow their heads and obey orders.
In the final analysis, there is one sentence: mother is more valuable than daughter.
The Hojo retainers need the Shiba Goddess to support themselves, so no matter how reckless the Hojo clan is, no one in the Hojo family dares to really shake her power.
Cutting off the Hojo clan means abandoning the hard-won ruling status, which is the lifeblood of the Hojo family's long-term prosperity. Even Hojo Genan can only pinch his nose and be suppressed by the Hojo clan.
The political conflict between Uesugi Kenshin and Hojo Ujiyasu and Hojo Ushimasa essentially lies in who is the real leader of Kanto.
In the Kanto system headed by the Kanto General and the Kanto Commander, whoever is the Kanto Commander has the title of representing the Kanto General in charge of the ten countries of Kanto.
Therefore, the Uesugi family and the Hojo family have to fight to the death.
However, with the resolution of the Hojo family issue and the demise of the Kanto system's ruling status, the two most irreconcilable political conflicts between the Uesugi family and the Hojo family have been resolved.
Coupled with the gradual formation of the Shiba Goddess group, the Uesugi family and the Hojo family have more cooperation than confrontation, more interests than differences, and the two sides gradually get closer.
The Takeda family is another story.
Theoretically, the past grudges between the Takeda family and the Uesugi Hojo family should also be resolved with the establishment of the Shiba Goddess Group.
However, the personal grudges between Takeda Shingen, Uesugi Kenshin, and Hojo Ushimasa became a stumbling block between the three families, causing the Uesugi and Hojo families to exclude the Takeda family.
The past events of Yantian City are an unavoidable knot in the hearts of the three women.
Takeda Shingen gave birth to the saint's eldest daughter, but it was not born out of love, but was obtained by capturing the saint by despicable means outside the battlefield and imprisoning him for play.
Regarding this matter, the saint can laugh it off and let the past be like smoke and no longer pursue it.
??????????.??????
However, Hojo Ushimasa, who loved the saint deeply, couldn't bear it, and Ken Uesugi, who failed to protect his lover after the battle of Kawanakajima and caused his lover to be humiliated, felt even more sad.
This is the fundamental reason why the Takeda family has always been rejected by the Uesugi and Hojo families among the three powerful clans.
Takeda Shingen was very resourceful. Of course she knew the reason, but she couldn't change the reality.
Takeda Shingen's feelings towards the saint are also very complex.
That former rival killed his closest sister, but he was unable to force her to seize her seed and gave birth to his beloved, Yoshinobu Takeda.
The upward trend of the Takeda family was interrupted by the saint, but the future of the Takeda family was preserved by the saint, and even became a lineage of divine descendants, who must be at the top of the Shiba world in the future.
Takeda Shingen could not deny her sin, and she gained so much from this sin that she felt grateful and loved the saint.
Today's Takeda family has not only stabilized Kai Kingdom and most of Shinano Kingdom, but will also replace the Satake family of Hitachi Kingdom and become the king of Hitachi, a fertile territory.
In recent years, Takeda Shingen has cooperated with Satake Yoshige in a tacit understanding, killing the Edo family and other powerful samurai families who occupied the central and southern parts of Hitachi Kingdom, rebuilt Mito Castle, and officially took over Hitachi.
Now, as long as Satake Yoshige is fully prepared and goes north to enfeoff and move to Dewa Country, the Takeda family can completely swallow up the Hitachi Kingdom and build this large territorial kingdom into the foundation of the Takeda family.
Although Takeda Yoshinobu was born in a bad family due to Takeda Shingen's atrocities, Takeda Shingen also prepared a future destination for his beloved daughter, which can be regarded as compensation for maternal love.
Even though the Takeda family among the three powerful clans was ostracized, Takeda Shingen's mentality remained stable.
She is not afraid that Kenshin Uesugi and Masaru Hojo will hate her, as long as they and their divine descendants do not hate the bloodline of Takeda Yoshinobu, a saint.
When everything is properly handled, Takeda Shingen will pass the position of governor of the family to Takeda Yoshinobu, and he will bear all the bad influence and retire, leaving the clean Takeda family to his daughter.
But just when Takeda Shingen thought he had a plan, a political earthquake occurred in Kinki, and the Kamo clan died.
Whether the village of Kamou clan is dead or not actually has little to do with the Takeda family. At most, she can be regarded as Takeda Yoshinobu's teacher. Takeda Shingen wiped his tears and respected his teacher and that was it.
However, the death of the Kamo clan stimulated the saint. After Naomasa Ii took charge of the Doshin Secretariat, he vigorously reformed the organization and even reorganized the Blue Clothes and listed Takeda Yoshinobu as the leader of the Blue Clothes.
Of course Takeda Shingen knew this was the saint's intention, and Ii Naomasa just followed it.
But Takeda Shingen did not dare to resent the saint, so he could only turn his panic into anger and hate Ii Naomasa.
Takeda Shingen was the one who bore the original sin, and Takeda Yoshinobu was of unclean origin and was regarded as an illegitimate daughter by the hierarchical samurai society, and was not qualified to inherit the saint's legacy.
Originally, the saint asked the two central bosses, Kamaojigo and Ii Naomasa, to protect Takeda Yoshinobu, so that Takeda Shingen could work hard locally and leave a rich family fortune to his daughter.
Any of the Shiba Goddess families may inherit the future Shiba world, but Takeda Yoshinobu is not qualified, so she can grow up with peace of mind, and it would be good to return to the local area and become a powerful boss.
The eldest sister who has no inheritance threat will naturally not be feared and hated by the sisters in the family.
With Takeda Yoshinobu having such a stable and secure future, Takeda Shingen also breathed a sigh of relief, and the Takeda family finally settled down safely.
