Non-Honmaru Inner Honwan [Comprehensive]

"Give me a little face."

"No. It's too wasteful to accept it when you don't use it yourself. But it's a different matter if you buy it yourself."

"Hey, if you don't accept it, it will be difficult for me."

Matsunaga Hideo came here with the sincerity of an apology—at least on the surface.If the gift is not accepted, it means that Song Yongxiu did not get Saburo's forgiveness. In addition, Duowen Shancheng refused to let the people of the Oda family enter the governance. Obviously, those retainers who were angered by Song Yongxiu After getting such a hint, they will embarrass Matsunaga Hideo to a new level.

However, Hideo Matsunaga's life attitude in the Warring States period had a considerable part of "a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water". As long as the Oda family's retainers make things difficult for him, no matter whether it is sarcastic remarks or direct conflicts, it will be justified. drizzle.

There is only one reason that really prompted Song Yongxiu to come to apologize and present the city and sword as a sincerity, and that is——

"Third—Your Highness, Tsutsui Junkei asks to see you."

That is Matsunaga Hideo's political opponent, Tsutsui Shunqing, who is currently showing extraordinary enthusiasm for Saburo.

The Tsutsui family is not so much a famous family or an aristocratic family, but a group of monks and soldiers. Even Tsutsui Junqing served as a monk after becoming the governor of the family.The power of this family originally spread all over the Yamato Kingdom, but Matsunaga Hideo led the army to attack the Yamato Kingdom in order to expand his power. It happened that the former governor of the Tsutsui family was dead. Out of Tsutsui Castle.

After Liang Zi was married, the hatred between the Tsutsui family and Matsunaga Hideo was difficult to resolve. Relying on the strength accumulated in the long-term rule of Yamato, they fought with each other.It was not until 1568 when Saburo went to Luo, and Matsunaga Hideo chose to submit to Saburo, and thus obtained the help of the Oda family and the recognition of the court, and completely overwhelmed the Tsutsui family in strength, Tsutsui Junqing was surprised that Owari Oda already had such power... …

Then he still focused on targeting Matsunaga Hideo, and when Matsunaga Hideo suddenly rebelled against Oda in 1571, he immediately seized the time to attack Matsunaga Hideo, and expressed his obedience to the Oda family, so as to obtain the Oda family's help.

Later, Matsujima Hideo Hideo expressed his surrender, so there is no need to say any more.

If this series of events that have lasted for several years is to be briefly summarized, it is that the two families fought back and forth, and Oda took advantage of it.

——Oda Nobunaga's strong luck has once again been reflected in the subtleties.

Although it seems that there is no scientific reason for God's preference for Saburo, in fact, according to the distribution of power at that time—until now, neither Matsunaga Hideo nor Tsutsui Junqing had a better choice than the Oda family.

The forces of the two families are concentrated in the Yamato Kingdom. If they want to seek foreign aid to break the balance between the two struggles, such distant forces as Takeda Shingen or Uesugi Kenshin will naturally not be able to do so.

And if you want to find nearby help, in the other Shikoku in Kinai, the Hanoi country was ruled by Tayama Shotaka, who later became the son-in-law of Oda Nobunaga, and Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, who supported Ashikaga Yoshiaki; the Izumi country was ruled by the Hosokawa clan He Sakai ruled, and both obeyed the Oda family when Nobunaga and Ashikaga Yoshiaki coexisted peacefully; both Yamashiro and Settsu had the influence of the Miyoshi family, and the Miyoshi trio used this to launch a campaign against Kyoto and the general Ashikaga Yoshiaki Several attacks, but his own strength is weak, Matsunaga Hideo has joined forces with Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, and knows the details of the Miyoshi trio. Even with their help, Tsutsui can hardly change the situation of the tug-of-war between the two.

While leaving Kinai, Rokkaku near Omi was repelled by Oda Nobunaga. At that time, Asai was not strong and supported Nobunaga.After all the calculations, it turns out that only Oda Nobunaga has a strong enough influence, and there is no worry about distance.

Now, a few years later, Oda Nobunaga has experienced the siege, but his power has not decreased but increased, and he has collected all the parts of Omi.The two have no choice.

——That's why Matsunaga Hideo and Tsutsui Junkei are like children vying for favor, trying to show their sincerity before each other in order to win Saburo's favor.

By the way, Saburo is still unaware of this political game.

As the strength of the Oda family gradually increased, more and more people came to express their surrender to him.Before, under the heavy pressure of Takeda Shingen, he fled a lot, but there were many people who saw his momentum and dared to bet (such as Tsutsui Shunkei) decisively chose him when the battle situation was not yet clear (1571) .Therefore, Saburo didn't feel that there was any special meaning in such a competitive show of favor—his political sensitivity was terribly low, unless he took the initiative to care, there would be the kind of rust that seemed to be wiped off the blade, suddenly Show the sharpness, the sharpness that hits people's hearts directly.

Different from Saburo who is usually loose and can startle people suddenly, Akechi Mitsuhide is tense all the time, clever and keen all dormant under the appearance of humility and obedience, like a blade that will stab once the white cloth is lifted.

——Only Mitsuhide Akechi can be low-key and peaceful. At the same time, he has established friendship with Matsunaga Hideo and Tsutsui Junqing (he is not deep with Matsunaga Hideo), so that when he sees his political opponent at Oda's house, the two will not separate Minutes exploded.

Therefore, Saburo's reaction to the visitor's words was "Oh—Xiaoguang, you are here again", while Matsunaga Hideo was "tsk, that soft bone, Akechi Mitsuhide, you can't say something nice during the New Year".

That's right, it was Akechi Mitsuhide who came here.

Hearing that Wuhutui was going to Uesugi suddenly, he rushed to have an interview with Saburo, and then left to arrange people to keep an eye on Wuhutui (not at all). After Mitsuhide Akechi completed the above matters in a short time, he went again rushed over.

Although Mitsuhide Akechi is really easy to use and he is very self-conscious about his work, I still have to say one more thing at this moment—Mitsuhide Akechi, it is really hard work.

Akechi Mitsuhide, who is content with this kind of hard work, is because of Saburo's consistent preference, and the fact that "Xiaoguang can go anywhere", which is almost expressly stated in the Oda family, and when discussing with Saburo a lot of information about the sword man, he must be quick and evasive. Everyone's background conditions, almost unimpeded, entered the room where Saburo and Matsunaga Hideo discussed the details of gift giving - among them, Matsunaga Hide must also have a very clear purpose this time, there is no special news to send, and Akechi Mitsuhide is in Matsunaga The reason why Jijiu Hideo and Tsutsui Junkei met the coordinator—and because there were no swordsmen and servants in front of the room to warn, Akechi Mitsuhide hurriedly opened the door and almost called out Saburo’s name when he saw Matsunaga After Jiuxiu's figure appeared, he changed his words abruptly.

This small slip of the tongue did not attract Matsunaga Hide's attention at all, or even if he noticed, this man who can be called a hero of the Warring States Period did not bother to care about this small flaw that no one could prove, and focused all on Akechi Mitsuhide's words. Almost instantly, he said with an ugly face and a bad attitude: "Why did you take on the responsibility of a servant instead? Tsutsui—oh, that guy, what do you want to do at this time?"

Akechi Mitsuhide just looked at Saburo calmly.After receiving Saburo's equally interested eyes, he replied calmly: "I forgot something here, and when I wanted to come back to pick it up, I met Shunqing, so I stopped by to help pass his request to His Highness to know." What Shunqing means is that he is willing to serve His Highness humblely, and only wants to stay by His Highness's side all the time."

Matsunaga Hideo's expression at this moment was as ugly as if he had eaten a fly, and his face was full of "that guy is still shameless".

San Lang was at a loss for a while: "Ah, has someone taken over Xiao Jiu's job? I always feel that Xiao Jiu will not be happy."

"I don't think Shunqing will displease Kutaro. He wants to do this and he just wants to show his surrender to you." Because Matsunaga Hideo was still by his side, Akechi Mitsuhide didn't say much, but defended Shunqing in a neutral manner. After saying a word, he pointed the topic at Matsunaga Hideo, "What is Mr. Matsunaga looking for Your Highness?"

"The one who delivered the knife to Nobunaga."

Even in front of Saburo's retainers, Matsunaga Hide was very provocative and never concealed his contempt for Saburo, and even complained directly, with the certainty that Saburo would not blame himself for this.

"As a result, this guy refused to accept it at all, which is really annoying."

Akechi Mitsuhide only frowned slightly at this - such a subtle movement was also difficult to see because of the veil that almost covered his entire face.

"But there are indeed too many swords. Xiaoguang also thinks that the swords given by others can only be left behind. It seems that I am sorry for others' intentions."

"No. I don't think it's nothing to accept a sword." Regarding Saburo's lazy question, Akechi Mitsuhide thought for a while before answering, "Saburo also accepted Mr. Yoshiki. His sword (Daprajna Nagako) and donate it to the Tokugawa family."

"—Yes!" Saburo suddenly realized, and then finally got serious, explaining to Akechi Mitsuhide, "I didn't bring any other swords at that time. And that general (Ashikaga Yoshiki) has been dead for many years."

"No, I didn't mean to accuse you." Akechi Mitsuhide shook his head, "At that time, you also thought that Mr. Tokugawa was worthy of this knife, so you gave away the Great Prajna Changguang as a gift. I I feel that if a suitable owner can be found for the sword, even if the sword becomes conscious one day, there should be no complaints."

Even if there were several Sword Fusangshin outside the room, Akechi Mitsuhide was right when he said such a thing!

He paused, and continued to add: "Also, I personally think that you should accept some swords calmly."

For example, Sayozamonji of Hosokawa Fujitaka and Mikazuki Munekin of Hashiba Hideyoshi... These two swords are not only legendary, but also very sharp.

It's just that Saburo himself feels that he can't accept gifts from others for no reason, and Akechi Mitsuhide will not force Saburo to get rid of this cognition that can make more retainers willing to serve.It's just that accepting gifts from others for no reason is just receiving gifts for no reason, and Matsunaga Hideo's doing something wrong and presenting gifts after doing it is obviously another way to deal with it.

Because in this case, acceptance and rejection have different connotations!

Out of the loyalty of his retainers, Akechi Mitsuhide did not hesitate to advise Saburo when he needed to express his position.

"Is that so?" Saburo looked at Akechi Mitsuhide suspiciously, and after meeting the affirmative gaze of the other party, he became less interested again, but he still said obediently, "Then I will accept it."

"It would have been better if it had been like this earlier, and I wasted so much talking."

Song Yongxiu said in a mocking tone, his scarred face was still fierce.After getting Saburo's consent, he didn't wait any longer, and got up and left.

Such an unusual, familiar and willful attitude with Saburo, no matter what, Akechi Mitsuhide felt... there was something in it that ordinary people don't understand.

"Just now Xiaoguang said to get something, something dropped here"

Just when Akechi Mitsuhide looked at the direction where Matsunaga Hide left and was thinking about something, he suddenly heard Saburo's words and quickly responded: "No, that's just an excuse. In fact, I heard from Mr. Takenaka and came to tell you--"

"Takeda Katsuyori, may attack Oda."

Saburo looked at Akechi Mitsuhide silently.

Akechi Mitsuhide didn't know, so he looked at Saburo.

"Obviously Mr. Shingen has passed away, why do you still come to beat me? Is my hatred so high?" Faced with such frequent battles, Saburo couldn't help but sighed, put his hand on his cheek, and asked Mitsuhide Akechi helplessly. Said, "Do you know where Takeda's target is now?"

"It's not clear yet."

"Then don't worry about it for now." Saburo said naturally, "Let's go and see the knife, Xiaoguang."

Matsunaga Hideo and Tsutsui Junkei are political enemies.

That's right, Saburo and Akechi Mitsuhide will go to see Fu Xingguang next.
