Samurai of the Takeda Family

Chapter 542: Between father and son

Jiafu, Jicui Temple City, also known as the key mountain city. Ha 18m

It's only a few miles away from the Tsuzakikan, and it has always been the location of the castle of the Tsuzakikan.

A mansion was built near the key mountain castle. This mansion was the residence of the former Muromachi shogunate, Ashikaga Yoshiaki.

This time it was thick, and the mountains in Kai Fei began to rain. Looking from a distance, it seemed that the green forest was covered with a thick yarn.

At this moment Ashikaga Yoshiaki faded away the old-fashioned and rigorous, long hakama like a modern woman's wedding dress, and the tall and pointed Liwu hat.

Now Ashikaga Yoshiaki is just wearing a hunting suit, standing between the kiosks, enjoying the rain.

Yes, for the samurai, the hunting clothes that were worn on formal occasions were casual clothes for Ashikaga Yoshiaki.

This is not to reveal the meaning of faction, but as a shogunate, you must pay attention to your appearance at all times, even when you are most ordinary at home, you must wear hunting clothes.

This is not a requirement, but a habit of birth.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki stood there calmly with only a few entourages, and suddenly laughed at himself, saying: "In this remote Kai country, I am afraid that the Kyoto ministers have already forgotten me."

Hearing what Ashikaga Yoshiaki said, a man in plain straight clothes next to him took a step forward and said: "Gongfang Hall, don't be discouraged. The dormancy right now is only temporary. When your fortune comes, you can take advantage of it."

Ashikaga Yoshiaki glanced at this person, then combined the folding fans and said: "Shin-suke, I am stuck in Jiafei. Takeda has no intention of going to Los Angeles for a long time. There are no more than a hundred people around him. What is the use of fortune? "

This name is the person who is the second assistant of the middle affairs, and it is Li Xiao's in-laws, Jingji Longzi's father Jing Gaozuo.

Kyo Kochi took a step closer, lowered his voice and said to Ashikaga Yoshiaki: "Your Royal Highness, the subordinates have something to say."

Ashikaga Yoshiaki met, and she rejected the samurai and maid who looked down around him. Many of these people were sent by Takeda Nobuhiro to protect Ashikaga Yoshiaki's safety.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki couldn't believe them.

Kyo Koko said secondly: "Kongfang Hall. Although Oda, the rebel occupies Gyeonggi, there are still many shogunate ministers in the world."

Speaking of this, Kyo Koko had a few words with Ashikaga Yoshiaki a few times.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki looked upright. He said: "You said Li Xiao, and finally agreed."

Keiko nodded his head several times and said, "Not only Major General Guards, but Sanada Abu, this is a secret letter sent by the two."

Kyo Kochi took out the two letters and placed them in front of Ashikaga Yoshiaki.

After seeing it, Ashikaga Yoshiaki couldn't help but be overjoyed, but then he meant that he shouldn't show his inner emotions too much under his ministers to show that the castle is not enough.

Right now Ashikaga Yoshiaki nodded and said: "Major General Konoe. Sanada Anbo is not ashamed of the court. In that case, the ZTE Shogunate is expected."

Jing Gao also said: "His Royal Highness, how has Takeda treated the court over the past few years, and how the Major General has treated the court, you have also seen it."

Listening to Kyo Koko mentioning it many times, Ashikaga Yoshiaki's eyebrows showed a hint of unpleasantness.

Over the past few years, the Takeda family has given the shogunate two thousand homages a year, and from time to time it has defaulted. On the other hand, Li Xiao gave out five thousand guana every year, and on festivals, Ashikaga Yoshiaki's birthday would be added with a generous gift.

Such treatment made Ashikaga Yoshiaki very fond of Li Xiao.

But Ashikaga Yoshiaki also understands. As the saying goes, there is a reason to ask for courtesy to others.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki knew it in his heart. This former important minister of one of the four positions, the head of the famous Jingji family, has chosen to move closer to the Li family since he married the Li family.

However, for such things, each person takes what he needs. Ashikaga Yoshiaki is going to establish a connection between the shogunate and the Lee family through the Kyogoku family.

Kyo Kochi said to Ashikaga Yoshiaki: "His Royal Highness, the most worrying thing is that after the Takeda family went to Luo, like the rebel Nobunaga before, he set up his banner, replaced the shogunate, and proclaimed himself as a man of the world. Right now we are right. Divide and draw together, Li Xiao and Masayuki Sanada, let them go to the shogunate."

"In this way, Takeda’s power is divided into three, mutual elbows, coupled with the support of the Maori family, the future shogunate world can be renamed the four-management collar, let the Takeda family, the Lee family, the Sanada family, the Maori family, four The family is at the same time, and His Royal Highness Gongfang can still stay on top and maintain a check and balance against the next."

Ashikaga Yoshiaki nodded. This is also his inner ambition, and it is also the technique of power that the superiors have played for many years.

His brother Ashikaga Yoshiki hopes to reconcile the disputes of the daimyo and regain the respect of the daimyo with his personal courage. This path has failed.

Without strength, all names and righteousness are nothingness.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki deeply understood that Nobunaga's line should not repeat the same mistakes. If you want to be a general of the conquest, you cannot be a puppet, and you must hold the real power in your hands.

I think Ashikaga Yoshikao back then, but was called the most evil arrogant shogun. Ashikaga Yoshida clearly cannot reproduce the glory of Ashikaga Yoshikah, but he must also be an upright shogun who will not be manipulated by others.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki's emotions fluctuated slightly. After controlling his emotions, Xiang Jing Gao said: "But Li Xiaozhi's attitude is not very clear. I don't know how much he is loyal to the Takeda family, if he refuses to help. What am I doing."

Jing Gao smiled slightly and said: "Kongfang Palace, please don't worry, because of this Raider Echigo incident, Li Xiao didn't give a reward for Takeda Chaoyue, but had resentment towards the main house. We can just catch this. Opportunity to win."

After hearing this, Ashikaga Yoshiaki nodded with a gentle smile, and said, "It's so good, it's so good."

Just as Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Kyoko were discussing secretly, a close attendant walked into the courtyard and reported: "Your Highness, the Takeda family has an envoy."

Ashikaga Yoshiaki, Kyōgoku glanced at each other a lot of time, and his eyes were all surprised and uncertain. At this time, what the Takeda family envoy came to do.

The more China, Toyama City.

Li Xiao led the army to conquer the Echigo and returned in triumph, while Li Zheng and the rest of the vassals of Yuezhong were all greeted outside the city.

Back in the city, after accepting the congratulations from his retainers, Li Xiao left Li Zheng alone.

After Li Xiao first asked about the situation of Yusaku Sumitsu, Kano Hideji's battle in Tamba, and the progress of Maeda Toshiya and Kinoshita's attack on Daisho Temple City, he understood that the two legions were all going well, and they were approaching in an orderly manner, so he felt relieved.

In the direction of Hida, after hearing that Li Xiao’s army quickly calmed down Echigo, the Oda family’s mobilization in Gifu City also ended hastily. Therefore, Li Zheng, who was originally in Hida, can only appear in the Oyama Gobo at this moment.

Li Xiao saw that Li Zheng talked about family affairs in an orderly manner, and couldn't help revealing the heartfelt joy of every father, like growing up with his son.

"All right."

Li Xiao prevented Li Zheng from continuing to narrate, and said with a smile: "Zhenger, he was born in a reckless manner for his father, and the matter of marching and deployment is the director, but the matter of governing one party and governing the retainers is inferior to you. You Very good, in the future, the family business will be handed over to you, it will be my fortune, the fortune of my retainers, and the fortune of my family."

After receiving Li Xiao's appreciation, Li Zheng smiled embarrassedly and said: "My father is too acclaimed, and I still have to learn a lot from several adults."

Li Xiao heard the politeness and caution in Li Zheng’s voice, and couldn’t help but sigh. Li Zheng didn’t grow up with him since he was a child, so it is inevitable to have a relationship between the two. Relations are like superiors and subordinates.

Li Xiao knows that this is also the sorrow of a country's big name, and all common family matters have changed their taste after this.

However, Li Xiao knew that he had chosen this way. Since he chose this path, he must be conscious of what he had lost. If he has reached his position today, and lamented that he cannot return to ordinary people to enjoy the joys of father and son, it would be hypocritical.

Li Xiao smiled slightly, stood up, faced the courtyard, and suddenly said: "Zheng'er, what is your ambition?"

Li Zheng heard what Li Xiao said, and seemed to understand something at the moment, but he still said: "My father, I don't understand what you mean."

Li Xiao turned his head to look at Li Zheng, and smiled gently and said: "I think there are many things that Master Huzai has to say on weekdays. You don't have to worry about saying everything in your heart."

Li Zheng knows the key to the coordination of political opinions between the father and son of such a famous family, such as Takeda Shingen and Takeda Yoshinobu. The difference in political opinions between the father and the son led to the final rebellion of Yoshinobu, and Takeda Shingen was placed under house arrest for life.

Li Xiao asked Li Zheng's ambitions, and asked him how he would deal with the Li family if he was handed over to him in the future.

For someone else, it may be the only promise and try to keep a low profile, but Li Zhengzi has a resolute intention in his heart.

He is a person who agrees with his words and deeds. Now he said in a somewhat juvenile, unscrupulous tone: "My father, you didn't tell Master Huzai, if my destiny is mine, I will be King Zhou Wen, then my father. My ambition is my ambition."

Li Xiao nodded slightly and said: "Yes, but if the fate is not here, how will you decide?"

Li Zheng listened to Li Xiao's words~lightnovelpub.net~ without hesitation at the moment, and recklessly blurted out: "If you feel that you can't wait, you should take it with all your strength."

Li Xiao listened to Li Zhengzhi's words and looked at this son silently.

But Li Zheng was sitting on his knees at this moment, waiting for Li Xiao's decision.

After a long time, Li Xiao walked closer, stroked Li Zhengzhi's back, and said: "Ju Ji, is Yu's wife, doesn't you care about his relationship with him?"

Li Zhengyan said: "I and Juji's son, we also have the blood of our family. If I seize the throne, he will be established as the next generation of house governor. I think Juji will accept all this."

"Okay, I see, get up." Li Xiao stood in front of the courtyard again with his hand held down.

Li Zheng was now sweating profusely, stood up slowly, walked behind Li Xiao, and asked: "My father, the child just spoke arrogantly, please don't..."

Li Xiao raised his hand, with the back of his hand facing Li Zheng, facing away, and slowly said: "Between father and son, don't say anything."
