Yoshigage must kill Sebu Minato, because he will never allow anyone to instigate a relationship between him and Uesugi Terutora.
He had deceived Terutora Uesugi too many times, and they were all mines. This time he was able to calm him down with his body, but who knows what will happen next time, and whether he will be able to tame this stubborn dragon.
The best way is to kill one person as a warning to others. This is done for everyone to see, so that everyone can figure out what the consequences will be if they gossip behind their backs.
Yoshigan didn't know that not only him, but Terutora Uesugi also had murderous intentions towards Minister Se, because this man knew too much.
Minoru Shirobu told Uesugi Terutora that after Takeda Shingen forced Yoshigan to have an evil son, Yoshigan didn't know about it.
Uesugi Terutora, who was originally very sad and angry, changed his mind after discovering that Yoshigan knew nothing about it.
She wants to deal with Takeda Shingen and her evil offspring by herself. If possible, it would be best if Yoshigage never knows about this.
The Takeda family's territory is in the three countries of Kai, Shinano and Suruga. Even if someone knows about this matter, they dare not spread it casually.
As long as we get rid of Minato Iro, the loudmouth who brought the news back, this matter should be able to be hidden from Yoshihiro for a long time.
Although Terutora Uesugi had told Minister Minoru that this matter should not be spread outside, after all, the words of a living person are not as reliable as those of a dead person.
After cleaning her body and mind at the Mitsumine Sanno Hot Spring, Uesugi Terutora's mentality changed. Out of Yoshigan's sight, she looked coldly at the embarrassed Irocho Minoru, and she had already sentenced him to death in her heart.
———
Yoshigan and Uesugi Terutora each had their own concerns, and Sebōbō felt that something was wrong. The ladies present were also carefully observing Yoshigan Shiba, who had just returned from nearby.
The Uesugi and Hojo families formed an alliance, and the tacit understanding between the Uesugi and Takeda families was torn apart. The samurai families from all over the Kanshu were alienated and hostile to the Uesugi family.
It only took more than half a year for Shiba Yoshigan to help Uesugi Teruhora establish the Kanto system, which was already in name only.
This distinguished man rushed back from recent times, and no one could figure out what he was thinking or what he would do next.
Especially since the long tail is so long, I feel extremely uneasy.
Considering her own interests, she chose to help Shige Yuyoshige and established a Yue-shou alliance between the Uesugi and Hojo families.
The Nagao family of Ashikaga Castle now controls Tatebayashi Castle, which is the center of the Kanto core area between the four countries of Ueno, Shimono, Musashi, and Shimoso.
The core area of Kanto is the essence of the place that all Kanto daimyo are eyeing, and Tatebayashi City is an important town in the core.
The defeat of the Uesugi family put Tatebayashi Castle on the front line. As a well-known loyal minister of the Uesugi family in Yamauchi, Nagao Nagao could not imitate the samurai family in other places and become a backer and abandon Uesugi Teruhora.
The Hojo family extended an olive branch at this time, which was the great thing Nagao longed for.
Hojo Ujiyasu still recognized Uesugi Teruatora's position as the leader of Kanto and had no intention of overthrowing the existing Kanto system. He hoped to form an alliance with Uesugi Teruatora and divide the eight Kanto states.
From the perspective of having a long tail, at this time after the Uesugi family's disastrous defeat, the conditions offered by the Hojo family were very sincere.
This year's drought in Kanto is even worse than last year. Life is getting more and more difficult for every family, and no one is willing to continue to support Uesugi Teruhora's southward expedition.
Especially after the defeat of the General Kingdom, everyone did not reap the benefits and also lost a large amount of military supplies and food. Dissatisfaction was spreading.
According to Nagao's idea, he helped Uesugi Teruhu capture the Sano collar and saved his face, so he could settle down and live a peaceful life for a few years. Why not do it.
Therefore, she and Yura Shige, whose territory was between the two behemoths of Uesugi and Hojo, worked hard to promote the Etsuto alliance and were willing to spend money on Uesugi Teruatora's expedition to Sano.
What she wants is a peaceful life at home.
But now, what she is most worried about is that Yoshigan Shiba is unwilling to make peace with the Hojo family and will persuade Uesugi Teruhora to break his alliance with the Hojo family.
Whether she supported the conquest of the Sano Territory or not, she had to find out whether Shiba Yoshigan had any chance of making peace with the Hojo family.
After the concubines saw the ceremony, the long-tail leader came out of the queue and bowed, wanting to speak.
But Yiyin moved faster, and he smiled and said to Nagao Tocho.
"Sir Nagao, please be patient. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it later. I'll first take care of the internal affairs of the Kanto Palace."
Changwei didn't dare to say anything, lowered his head and returned to his original position. Yiyin's smile gradually turned cold, and he said lightly.
"Where is Minister Se?"
The color minister was sweating on her head, and she already had a bad premonition in her heart. After a moment of hesitation, she gritted her teeth and bowed.
"Your Majesty is here."
Yiyin shouted.
"Come here! Capture this criminal!"
Kamao Clan, who had already received Yoshigan's orders, broke into the meeting hall with several members of the same group. With a wave of his hand, he asked the two men to hold Irobu Minoru on both sides and twist her arms over her head.
Minister Shimi was shocked. She didn't expect Shiba Yiyin to let people do it directly without giving him any chance.
She reluctantly raised her head and shouted.
"Jin Duo-don! What's your crime?"
Yiyin looked at her coldly and said every word.
"You are a member of the imperial family of the Kanto Palace, so you should have stayed away from the Uesugi family's affairs to avoid suspicion.
But you failed to abide by your duty and dared to instigate His Highness Uesugi to attack the Sano Territory, sow discord between the Kanto Palace and the Uesugi retainers, with the intention of splitting the Echigo samurai group.
You are so deliberately trying to destroy the cooperation between the Uesugi and Shiba families. You have a vicious mind and a rebellious mind. How can I allow you to continue to be so presumptuous!"
The color minister was stunned at first, and then turned pale. She almost forgot that she also had the identity of a Yutai.
During the Battle of Kawanakajima, she was implicated in the crime of deserting her master and fleeing, and was thrown into ashes by Yoshigan in Kaijin Castle in Hokushin.
Later, her mother Irobe Katsunaga made great achievements in the battle of Sano and interceded for her to atone for her sins.
For the sake of Terutora Uesugi's sake, Yoshigami sent her back to the Irobe family and never used her again. However, for the sake of the Irobe family's face, he retained her identity as a royal.
After all, it is too embarrassing to be kicked out of the imperial family for the crime of abandoning the master. If he is not given a step down, the color minister can only wash away his shame by committing hara-kiri.
Now, Yoshigan wanted to take Minato Irobashi's head, so he used the imperial identity that was reserved for Minoru Irobashi. This was a false name.
The reason is also very good. The crime of dealing with the unscrupulous Otai people under the Kantō Palace is to interfere in the affairs of the Uesugi family.
The Echigo duopoly, in which the Shiba and Uesugi families cooperated, was an extremely sensitive situation. It was impossible for Yoshigan to cross Uesugi Terutora and kill the powerful samurai under her command. This was very taboo.
Therefore, Yiyin first wanted to identify Minister Se as a royal under his command, and then fabricate charges against her.
Under the dual-headed politics of Echigo, the samurai family under the Kanto Shisho failed to abide by their duties and intervened across the border. This was an extremely serious political mistake, which was enough to cost Minister Shiro Minoru his life.
As soon as Minoru, the color minister, heard that Yoshigage identified himself as a member of the imperial family, rather than a retainer of Uesugi, he knew something was wrong.
How could she be convinced that the dignity she left behind when she was sent home turned out to be the sharp knife that killed her today.
But she couldn't pierce the window covering her identity as a Taiwanese, otherwise it would involve the scandal of abandoning her master on the battlefield, which would be endless.
So, she looked pitifully at Terutora Uesugi on the other side of the throne, hoping that she would come forward and speak for herself.
"Your Highness Uesugi! I have been wronged!"
Yoshigan turned to look at Uesugi Teruhu on the other side, who smiled at him.
"Tsinta-den teaches the imperial people under his command, what are you watching me do?"
When Teru Uesugi saw how Yoshigan treated Irocho Minoru, his heart became bright. He wanted to kill the chicken and show it to the monkeys sitting here.
Uesugi Terutora knew very well why Yoshigan wanted to kill Nagamina. Yoshigan could not tolerate this guy revealing the incident in Yantian City to him and ruining the relationship between the two.
Standing in front of Uesugi Teruhora, he just happened to go with the flow and kill Irocho, so that she would not be able to keep her mouth shut and tell the truth about Takeda's evildoing.
Originally, because of the reputation of Irobe Katsunaga after fighting to the death, Uesugi Teruhora felt that he was indebted to Irobe Katsunaga and was prepared to give her a chance to rise to the top.
It's a pity that after three days of sweet dreams in the wild hot springs, Teruhora Uesugi's heart is now full of Shiba Yigin, and Minoru Sebu has no way to survive.
Hearing that Terutora Uesugi also defined herself as a subordinate of the Kanto Palace, Minister Shiro felt a chill in her heart. Until now, she was willing to risk everything and yelled.
"I have done meritorious service for you, my mother shed blood for you and died on the battlefield! Your Highness Uesugi, you can't do this to me!
Tsudo-den wants to kill me because he doesn’t want you to counterattack Sano Territory, but he is afraid that I will take Yantian City..."
Yoshigami frowned, Kamao Shigo watched his words, and hurriedly stepped forward and punched Izuku's solid ribs twice, causing her to curl up in a ball in pain.
Then, I heard Yiyin say coldly.
"Those who are unrepentant, drag her down and chop her down!"
After Kamao clan bowed and waved his hand, two Hime samurai grabbed Shirobu Minato, who was in pain and couldn't breathe, and dragged him out.
The color minister raised his head and looked at the two masters on the main seat with resentment. This pair of bitches...
After a while, Kamaojigo came in holding a plate with both hands. On the plate was the solid head of Iroza. Her eyes were wide open, as if she was dead.
Yiyin sneered and said.
"Salt it in lime and circulate it to all the people under the command of the Kanto Palace, so that everyone can see clearly. This is the result of wanton and unfaithful behavior!"
Teruhora Uesugi sighed and said.
"Irobe Katsunaga served the Uesugi family for two generations, and finally died on the battlefield for me. I didn't expect that her daughter would be so miserable. It really disgraced the Irobe family.
Tsudo-den, I want to seek dignity for Irobu Katsuchō, so that the Irobu family will not be affected by this unfilial daughter thing."
Irobashi is dead if he dies, but her mother Irobe Katsunaga just died fighting for Uesugi Teruhora. If Yoshigan implicates the Irobe family, Uesugi Teruhora will be in trouble.
Yiyin nodded and said.
"It's natural. Irobu is actually a member of the royal family under the command of the Kanto Palace. I am also responsible for her misbehaviour, and it has nothing to do with the Irobu family."
Yoshibank has been trying its best to bridge the political differences between Echigo and the duo, so it will naturally not expand the scope of its attack.
Uesugi Teru's reminder was just a double act for the anxious samurai below, she sighed.
"Irobu Katsuki lived a heroic life, but unfortunately she gave birth to a useless daughter.
I will choose a close relative from the Irobu family to inherit the family name and continue the family business."
The fate of the Sebu family was changed with just a word from the two masters, one from you and one from me. The concubines sitting below were all frightened.
The Irobe family is also considered a powerful one. Among the bloodlines of the old Yangboku Chichibu Party, Irobe Katsunaga is a powerful figure who can compete with the clan's main branch, Shimanaga.
Now that Irobe Katsunaga's mother and daughter are dead, even if Uesugi Teruhora gives him a step up for the sake of old friendship, Honjo Shigenaga will not be polite to the Irobe family.
Our village, Fanchang, has been doing well in the past two years, integrating the two trade routes of Xiayue, and the old grievances with the Yangbei people of various families in Xiayue have gradually faded away.
The Irobe Katsunaga of the Chichibu Party had always been a thorn in her side, and as the main family, the main house could never suppress the Irobe family.
This time Shiba Yoshigami angrily killed the Irobu family. Although the two masters said it was over, would Honjo Shigenaga take the opportunity to suppress the Irobu family? That's for sure.
Seeing that the governor of the Irobe family lost his head because of Yoshiyin's words, the family business was destined to decline, and all the concubines below were awed and fearful.
Especially after Irocho's head was taken away, Yoshigine's eyes shifted to Nagao's face and he asked with a smile.
"It really made everyone laugh. There was such a scandal in the Guandong Palace. Anyone dared to jump on the stage and imitate Wuhou to point out the country.
This stupid guy didn't know how to open his eyes and take a closer look at Zhuge's background and what kind of beast he was.
As a grown-up, Longwei, do you think this is true? By the way, what you wanted to say just now can be said freely now."
Everyone's eyes turned to Changwei Dangchang, and cold sweat suddenly broke out on her head.
What else is there to say? Say a p!
Minister Se is actually the most aggressive among Uesugi's retainers. These days he has been advocating a counterattack on the Sano Territory, vowing to avenge his mother, and has made the calm faction headed by Naoe Keetsuna very embarrassed.
Yoshigan Shiba had just arrived at Numata Castle, and before he even sat down in the seat, he killed her with one knife. Regardless of whether his reasons were sufficient or not, Teru Uesugi's acquiescent attitude was the most chilling.
The two masters didn't know what kind of tacit agreement they had reached in Sanfeng Mountain. They were now inseparable. The blood of the long-haired man had not yet dried. How dare the long-tailed man speak nonsense.
The Irobe family is about to decline, and the Nagao family of Ashikaga Castle cannot follow in the footsteps of her family and seek death.
The long tail was squeaking and speechless, Yoshiyin joked.
"Master Changwei, you look very unhappy. Are you feeling unwell?"
On the other hand, Uesugi Terutora couldn't stand it. Although Nagao Tocho was a little selfish, among the local samurai families in Ueno, they were already considered the most loyal to her.
So, she came out to protect him.
"Nagao-hime has been helping me organize my armaments these past few days. Maybe she is tired and looks bad."
Nagao Tocho quickly nodded and accepted her remarks. Yoshigami turned around and gave Uesugi Teruhora a white look, and did not continue to embarrass Nagao Tocho.
Nagao Tocho and Yura Shigeki helped the Hojo family forge the Etsuto alliance. They seemed to be public servants on the surface, but in their hearts they were their own children.
Yiyin felt very unhappy, but the matter had come to this, and no matter how unhappy he was, he had no choice but to let it go.
