Samurai of the Takeda Family

Chapter 246: For the future

"Like a father, planning the overall situation is easier said than done? I asked myself that there are many things that are not as good as my father, such as..."

Takeda Masaru Lai sighed, put the chess pieces in his hand into the chess box, and said: "Yatokusai-sama, I spoke to me yesterday, brother... the brother's wife has been pregnant for many months, he said if it is..."

When Takeda Katsuyori said this, he stopped talking.

Li Xiao has understood the meaning of Takeda Katsuyoshi's words, Sanada Katsuyoshi, the old fox, must have persuaded Takeda Katsuyoshi to cut the roots and get rid of Takeda Yoshinobu's unborn son or daughter to avoid future troubles.

Sanada's considerations are not without reason. It is important to know that although Takeda Yoshinobu is currently losing ground, does Takeda Shingen still have a grandson.

As the heirs of the family superintendent, the grandchildren are also very important, if the wife of Takeda Yoshinobu gave birth to a boy.

Then this baby boy also has the opportunity to inherit the Takeda family, which may endanger Takeda Katsuyori's inheritance of the Takeda family.

"Li Xiao, what do you mean?" Takeda Katsuyai asked.

Li Xiao understands Takeda's pain at the moment. Although Katsurai's position is admired by thousands of people, the same seat is not easy to sit. To him, it is like being in flood and fire all the time.

There are too many things Takeda Katsuyai can't help but he doesn't want to do many things, so he must also take care of the thoughts of the people below.

Just as when Shingen Takeda wanted to exile his father Nobuto Takeda, if it weren't for the encouragement and support of several important family officials such as Sakahiro, Kanri, and others, how could it be possible to exile Nobuto Takeda with the power of Takeda Shingen alone.

Of course, Shingen Takeda alone was responsible for the final charges.

Therefore, any decision Takeda Katsuyori makes now is not to take care of him alone, but to take care of the interest groups of his subordinates such as Yutaka Sanada, Li Xiao, Masatoshi Bao Ke, and Asahide Owong.

Seeing Takeda Katsurai looking at him, he seemed to expect Li Xiao to give him a decision.

But what Li Xiao wants to consider at this moment is not Takeda's position, but his own.

Yukatsu Sanada is now actually instigating Takeda Katsura to kill his nephew. This is definitely not the idea that a retainer should give the lord.

And Li Xiao heard that this old fox had officially retired and gave the position of Sanada's family supervisor to his eldest son Nobuzuna Sanada, and he retreated behind the scenes and concentrated on assisting Takeda Katsuyori.

In fact, after Takeda Yoshinobu lost power, Sanada's political investment has been successful.

Yukatsu Sanada is now paving the way for the future of Sanada's family and strengthening his influence next to Takeda Katsuyoshi. In Li Xiao's view, this old fox must not be proud of anymore. This time he instigated Takeda Katsuyari to kill himself. The nephew's affairs are all driven out, isn't it the next time I'm going to kill my father?

Therefore, Sanada's momentum must be suppressed.

When confronted by Takeda Katsura’s question, Li Xiao said directly: "His Royal Highness, in the position of Lord Sanada, you can say that, but your Highness can't do that?"

Takeda Katsuyori looked at him and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Li Xiaoyan said: "Master Sanada, I am so intrigued by His Highness. There is nothing wrong with cutting the grass and rooting out the roots. But if His Highness wants to get rid of the child in Jinmi's belly, can this matter be hidden from the Lord's eyes and ears? What the child said is also the future of His Highness. His nephew, killing his dearest relatives, what is the difference between His Royal Highness and His Highness Rebellious Yixin?"

"Even if I have concealed it from the lord, this child died strangely, and the retainers were at a time of panic. I am afraid it would be detrimental to the reputation of the lord."

Hearing what Li Xiao said, Takeda Katsuya suddenly realized that he said: "Master Yide Zhai's plan almost missed me and I was disappointed. You can still plan for me."

Li Xiao smiled slightly when he heard this. In fact, in history, Takeda Yoshinobu's wife gave birth to a girl, so there is no such thing as cutting grass and roots.

Li Xiao nodded and said: "His Royal Highness, although His Royal Highness Yixin is gone, the lord has not officially passed on his son to you. For example, those who can inherit the son's righteousness, as well as the Xieshan and Nishina, are there. Your Highness. Now it’s not without other competitors, so the more you get to this time, your Royal Highness will be more cautious than before in everything. Those who walk a hundred steps are half ninety, how many talented people in this world, when the great cause is about to succeed , But self-relaxed, and ultimately fell short of success."

"So my suggestion, your Highness must not think that now that the enemy is gone, you can act without care, but you should be more cautious than before. The more so, the more your servants will feel that your Highness has a long-term vision. It's not confined to the succession of the superintendent of the family."

It must be admitted that Katsurai Takeda has done a very good job of accepting advice from his humility. At least he has always followed Li Xiao's words.

Takeda Katsuyoshi Rai said: "You are right. I have been a bit careless and slack in the past few days. I almost made a mistake. Now I am in a cold sweat. Could you please teach me how to behave in the future?"

Mr. Li Xiao's words were called by Takeda Katsurai all day when he was a teacher of Takeda Katsura's spearmanship.

At present, the status of the two human rights has undergone many changes from the previous year, and it is no longer suitable to use this term.

Today Takeda Katsurai mentions this title again, apparently taking Li Xiao as his teacher again, hoping that he can advise him on his behalf.

Seeing how sincere Takeda Katsuya was, Li Xiao nodded and said: "Your Majesty, don't say that. For the time being carelessness and slackness are also human nature, so be vigilant in the future. Since your Highness asks, then I will help. Your Royal Highness has one and two worries. Now, if your Royal Highness wants to successfully inherit the position of Takeda Family Supervisor, he must do these three things first, and this is almost the same."

"Which three things?"

"First, your Royal Highness will marry the Oda family as soon as possible. In addition to introducing the Oda family as foreign aid, he will then strive to give birth to the grandson of the lord. With the eldest grandson, your position in the Takeda family will be even higher. Seeing that your Highness has someone to succeed you, you will definitely add a heavy weight to your Highness in the future to inherit the position of House Superintendent."

Takeda Katsurai nodded. Li Xiaozhi's words were exactly what he had in mind. It was not the first generation, but the second and third generations to establish the succession of the family superintendent. Li Xiao's opinion is indeed a strategy for him.

"Secondly, although His Highness Yixin has lost power, after this political dispute, there are more or less secrets and support for or relying on the existence of His Highness Yixin. I will not care about this matter and will take revenge in the future. If this is not handled properly, it will become resistance to your Highness in the future. If your Highness inherits your family superintendent, this is also a danger of instability."

Takeda Katsurai slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, because my brother was appointed as a child by his father early, he was quite popular in his family before, so how do I get the retainers who supported my brother to support me instead? It is indeed a difficult place. So what should I do?"

Li Xiaoyan said: "It's very simple. At this time, His Royal Highness Ranwen Novel.com should treat these servants with gentleness. You don't need to treat everyone like this. This will only reduce your value rashly. Your Royal Highness only needs to think about who was originally. On the side of His Highness Yixin, he hates His Highness the most, and fights against His Highness every day, and then it is enough to be tolerant to this person."

Takeda Katsuyori suddenly gritted his teeth and said, “Don’t think about it, it’s just Nagasaka Mitsuken and Satsuke Atobe. They have been helping my brother against me before. I don’t know what to do with these two people. Tolerate them."

Mitsuken Nagasaka was the father of Gengoro Nagasaka Masakuni, who was slain before Takeda Yoshinobu, not to mention Masakuni Tobe.

Li Xiao smiled and said: "I don't ask His Royal Highness to really tolerate them, but just put on a pose and make a gesture. Your Royal Highness, do you think if it was your most hated Mitsuken Nagasaka and Katsushige Tsube. Everyone expresses tolerance and acceptance."

"And what would the other retainers who were attached to His Royal Highness Yixin think? Their loathing in His Highness's heart should be far less than these two. If His Highness tolerates even these two, why can't you tolerate them? At the bottom of my heart is a gentleman of tolerance. And if His Royal Highness really dislikes these two people, you might as well wait until the position of the Takeda family's house governor is stabilized in the future, and then deal with them. Right now these two people are still useful.

After listening to Li Xiao's words, even though Takeda was indignant for a while, he finally accepted.

Li Xiao smiled slightly when he saw Takeda Katsuraimian's embarrassment.

To put it bluntly, politics is an art of mutual compromise. If you can't compromise, you have to add your fists and get rid of the other party. Killing the enemy ten thousand will damage yourself three thousand. This is the worst result.

So temporarily compromise, wait until the strength is strong, and then settle accounts after the fall, this kind of trick is not uncommon, this is also a mature monarch, to master.

"The third and final item~lightnovelpub.net~ is naturally that His Royal Highness will take the Nishi-Ueno for the lord as soon as possible. After capturing this half of the country, he will not only explain to the lord, but also expand the power of the family. In the future, His Royal Highness will take charge of Takeda. Home is very good, so this must be done."

After a pause, Li Xiao said again: "At the same time, I will give your Royal Highness one last suggestion. Although your Royal Highness is excellent in military strategy, he is inferior in political strategy. As the guardian of the name, the lord of a country must be civil and military. At the same time, if we emphasize military force and despise people’s livelihood, it is tantamount to a source of no source, and one day it will dry up. Therefore, your Highness may wish to learn from several of my family members in this regard, so that I can take charge of my Takeda family in the future, so that the master can rest assured Give the family property to His Royal Highness."

"If your Royal Highness can listen to Li Xiao's words, then take charge of my Takeda family will not matter. In the future, it will be enough to compete with the heroes for the world."

Hearing Li Xiaozhi's words, Takeda Katsurai looked solemn, and he was obviously digesting it carefully.

In the end, Takeda Katsuyori smiled, and sincerely thanked Li Xiao for his words: "Sir, Katsuyori has written everything down."

Li Xiao laughed when he heard this, and said: "His Royal Highness can say so, then I, Li Xiao, can rest assured for His Highness. After a few days, I can go to North 6 with peace of mind and lay the foundation for my family there." ..
