The relationship between the samurai family is often a matter of deception. Yoshigan did not believe Kitahata Tomoko's words at first, but Takeda Nobutora's words were reasonable and well-founded, and Yoshigan could not help but not believe it.
According to the traditional rules of the game of the samurai family, Kitahata Tomaki gave up his position as the monastic governor, and Kitahata Nobubo, who succeeded the Oda family, took charge of the family business. The two parties have reached a compromise on the transfer of power.
Kitahata Shinbao's current behavior is like a kidnapper who chose to tear up the ticket after getting the money. Although this is a common thing in troubled times, it is morally unjustifiable.
If this matter is just a rumor, then it's easy to say that Yiyin just pretends that he didn't see it. Anyway, there are countless treacherous people in troubled times, and he can't control it.
However, Takeda Nobutora mentioned the matter of Kitahata Juji at Enryakuji Temple on Mount Hiei, and now he personally came to Yoshigan to ask for an explanation for his friend, so Yoshigan found it inconvenient to refuse.
If Yoshigan pretends to be dead and doesn't care, if the cause and effect of this matter spreads out, Kitahata's envelope will certainly be despised and despised, and Yoshigan's personal character will also be questioned.
The Kitahata family is the hereditary Ise Kuniji, and their status is not low. It is already very uncomfortable for such a famous family to have their family name usurped by an Owari country bumpkin. What is the natural reason to kill all their descendants?
This matter will make the nobles and nobles feel as if a rabbit has died and a fox has died. Now that Yoshiyin knows about it, he can't ignore it because he is the incarnation of the martial arts' moral principles.
Moreover, Kitahata Tomomi's letter also mentions two young children, which is due to Yoshigan's soft-heartedness.
The life experiences of the two bosses of the Tongxin Secretariat, Kamaojigo and Ii Naomasa, have added a lot to Yoshibank's moral character.
In the view of the samurai, Yiyin is a man who is gentler and more trustworthy than Samurai Ji, and he also likes children more, so it should be useful to use children to intercede.
The situation developed just as Kitahata Tomomikaku expected. Yoshigan did sympathize with the two children, and he was more partial to her in his heart.
Yiyin thought for a while and said.
"After Kitahata Koji returned to seclusion, I heard that he devoted himself to Buddhism and had always intended to ask Tao Koni to ordain him. He was just worried that his two daughters were still young, so he couldn't bear to separate the nuns from the secular ones. Is this possible?"
Takeda Nobutora was stunned for a moment, then he immediately realized what he was doing and nodded quickly, making the right decision.
"It's true."
Yiyin sighed.
"The land of Minami Ise is close to the Yamato Buddhist Kingdom. It is not surprising that Kitahata Koji has the heart to worship the Buddha under the influence of his ears and eyes.
If she is really determined to cultivate in depth, she can ask the head of Kōfukuji Temple to ordain her and become a monk and enter the Shingon sect.
There are many ancient temples in Nara and Buddhism is profound. She practiced hard in the Yamato Buddhist Kingdom and stopped caring about mundane things.
As for her two children, who were born in the Ise Kingdom and are descendants of famous families who want to be extraordinary, they should be sent to my family as minor surnames.
I have taught her for a few years, and it is not difficult to find a future for her, so that she does not have to worry too much."
Yoshigan was unwilling to directly intervene in the Kitahata family affairs in order to avoid arousing the hostility of Oda Nobunaga.
Although the Shiba family and the Oda family are drifting apart on the two paths of conservatism and innovation, the conflicts between the two families are not that acute and are even quite friendly.
Oda Nobunaga, the highest-ranking official, had a two-night relationship with Shiba Yoshigan, and there was a hint of pink ambiguity in their relationship.
There are many fellows from the four counties of Shimoozhang in the two retainer groups, and there is constant correspondence between them.
In addition, Maeda Toshinaga, who was led by Owari Shiba, was good at dancing and had a close relationship with the Oda retainers of both Owari and Mino countries, and he had been acting as a buffer for the conflicts between the two families.
In contrast to the tit-for-tat confrontation between Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Oda Nobunaga, Yoshigan Saba has been keeping a low profile since he withdrew from Kyoto.
The eight words "keep a low profile, bide your time and make a difference" are the best footnotes of the Spo family's recent strategies. Yoshihiro has no intention of changing the status quo and has jumped out to act as a vanguard against Oda.
He would not cause disputes with the Oda family because of Kitahata Gokyo, so he had to rely on his religious stance to protect him in a roundabout way to prevent Oda Nobunaga from misjudgment.
Yoshigin has no connection with Kitahata Gokyo, so let her become a monk and join the Shingon sect, and use Kofukuji Nagakaku as a link to create a connection between her and Yoshigin.
Kitahata Gukyo is the first-generation British master of the Kitahata family, and he has great influence in the Minami Ise area. Such a big man joins Taoism and believes in the Shingon sect. Of course, the head of Kofukuji Temple is willing to accept it and is willing to provide convenience.
It was natural that Yoshigan Shiba, who shared the same faith, was entrusted as an heir by Kitahata Gujiao, who devoted himself to Buddhism.
This is not the first time that the Anti-Justice Gin adopted a nickname. Kamaojigo and Ii Naomasa were both sent to Shiba Yoshigan for refuge when their family fortunes were in danger. Kitahata Tomoji would not be wrong to follow the same example.
Yoshigan went around in a big circle, just to tell Oda Nobunaga that he did not want to dye the land of Ise, but he was just kindly protecting the descendants of the Kitahata family, so that she would not misunderstand.
Kitahata Goji went to the Yamato Buddhist Kingdom to become a monk, her two children went to adopt the nickname of Yoshigan, and the Kitahata family's territory was left to the Oda family to do whatever they wanted. This result should satisfy Oda Nobunaga.
As long as Oda Nobunaga doesn't care, Kitahata Nobubo's plan to eradicate the situation can only be terminated. I believe that she will not have the courage to cause trouble under Yoshigan's nose.
If all the Kitahata heirs are gone and Kitahata Shinba still cannot control Minami Ise, then she is too incompetent. Even if the Kitahata heirs make a comeback in the future, Oda Nobunaga will not be able to blame Yoshigan.
Takeda Nobutora kowtowed to the ground and said.
"The foreign minister has expressed his gratitude to Tsudoden on behalf of Kitahata Yujiao. Kitahata Yujiao will definitely shed tears of gratitude for your great kindness and will never forget it."
Yiyin shook his head, disapproving.
He actually didn't want to interfere in the affairs within the Oda family's sphere of influence. It would be best if the relationship between Oda Nobunaga and the traditional samurai family was as bad as possible, and Nobunaga would be exhausted by encircling Oda Nobunaga in circles.
However, the influence of Kitahata Yukaku is extraordinary. With Takeda Nobutora's identity and status, Yoshigan must express his gratitude in person in order to maintain his own image of Yoshiri.
If all the members of the Kitahata family were tragically wiped out by the Oda family, I don't know how many noble people would feel sad about the death of a rabbit or a fox. There would be a lot of potential benefits for Yoshigami, but he really couldn't bear it.
Yoshigan sighed, and did not regret this decision. He could not be as cold and rational as a good politician. Now that he knew about this, he would help the Kitahata family and do something good that day.
Takeda Nobutora looked at the gentle and beautiful woman in front of him, and he felt happy for Kitahata Kyoto.
Shiba Yiyin is indeed worthy of his reputation. He is indeed a benevolent and righteous king who means what he says. He is completely different from the great names of the Wu family outside who say one thing but think another thing.
The troubles of the Kitahata family can be solved smoothly, and Takeda Nobutora deserves to have a friendship with Kitahata Tomomi, and she can be regarded as worthy of her friends by running around.
Thinking that his daughter would have a child with the good man in front of her, Takeda Nobutora felt happy and worried at the same time.
That sinful daughter never forgets to mention her granddaughter every time she writes a letter. Every line is filled with pride and showoff, making Takeda Nobutora really wonder what that stupid girl is doing?
Yoshigan Shiba's prestige is at its peak, comparable to the birth of a saint. Once Takeda Shingen steals Yoshigan Shiba's bloodline, the consequences will be disastrous.
But when Takeda Nobutora thought of his little granddaughter who was far stronger, smarter and more agile than ordinary children, he couldn't help but feel proud.
The bloodline of Shiba Yoshigan is indeed different from ordinary people, and the Takeda family will have a successor in the future.
With this conflicting mood, Takeda Nobutora looked at Yoshigan with a worried look, which made Yoshigan feel a little strange.
"Does Mr. Takeda think there is anything inappropriate about how the Kitahata Gujiao issue is being resolved this way?"
Takeda Nobutora shook his head and sighed.
"Tsudaden is wise and wise, and handles the affairs of Kitahata Gujiao very appropriately, which is admired by foreign ministers.
I just feel a little sorry for my friend Kitahata Tomomi, because it was my daughter who acted recklessly, which caused her to be feared and guarded by the Oda family, and almost caused the whole family to be in danger."
Yiyin smiled slightly.
"Rumors stop at the wise, Mr. Takeda need not blame himself.
Kitahata Xinbao disregarded integrity and had malicious intentions to harm others. This matter is not your responsibility, and it has nothing to do with the Takeda family."
Takeda Nobutora shook his head and said what he wanted to say most.
"If my daughter hadn't insisted on going to Luo to participate in Nobunaga's siege, how could Kitahata Shinbao have made a fuss about the fact that I had a good relationship with Kitahata Tomomi?
In the final analysis, I still feel sorry for Kitahata Guojiao."
Yiyin's eyes widened and his heart froze.
Takeda Nobutora twice deliberately mentioned that the Takeda family was going to Luo. No matter how slow he was, he felt the message Takeda Nobutora wanted to convey to him.
"Mr. Takeda, is it true that the Takeda family wants to go to Luo?"
Nobutora Takeda smiled helplessly.
"Don't dare to deceive Jinduo Palace.
The imperial letter sent by the shogun from Nijo Castle was not only given to famous names such as Miyoshi, Rokkaku, Asakura, and Asai, but she also sent one to Kai Country.
Just because of the long journey and the delay of time, my bastard daughter was unable to catch up with the first siege battle.
But as far as I know, my daughter is already moved."
Takeda Nobutora felt uneasy and stared at Shiba Yoshigan closely.
Even Oda Nobunaga is still skeptical about Takeda's story about going to Luo, and is not sure whether it is true or not.
Takeda Nobutora should not have leaked to outsiders Takeda Shingen's intention to participate in Nobunaga's siege network and join the siege of the Oda family.
But in her opinion, Shiba Yoshigan is not an outsider, but more like the last life-saving straw for the Takeda family.
The power of Oda Nobunaga and the strength of the Oda family can be clearly seen by people in recent years like Takeda Nobutora.
Takeda Nobutora didn't know why Takeda Shingen insisted on going to Luo and participating in the quagmire of Nobunaga's siege. But she knew that she had to help the Takeda family secure a way out.
If Takeda Shingen can successfully go to Luo and use Nobunaga's encirclement network to defeat Oda Nobunaga, that would naturally be the best.
But if things go wrong and Takeda Shingen fails, Takeda Nobutora needs to ensure that the Takeda family will not be counterattacked by the powerful Oda family in the future.
Takeda Nobutora revealed the secret of Takeda Shingen's intention to go to Luo to Shiba Yoshigan, just to make Shiba Yoshigan intend to use his line to obtain more information about the Takeda family.
If everything goes well for Takeda Kamiro, Takeda Nobutora will naturally keep silent, stop saying anything important to Shiba Yoshigan, and just deal with it.
But if, if there really comes a day when the Takeda family is in a desperate situation and is counterattacked by the Oda family, then Takeda Nobutora will use this line and reveal Rena's life experience without hesitation!
Kitahata taught those two daughters from other families, and Shiba Yoshigan would take pity on them and consider a way out for them. If the matter really involved the safety of Shiba Yoshigan's own daughter, would he ignore it?
Takeda Nobutora has lived for so many years and has read countless people. He is confident that he will never misjudge the wrong person. Yoshihiro Shiba will definitely work hard to protect his children at all costs. This is the vitality of the Takeda family!
Takeda Nobutora is here today. The second is to help Kitahata Guoji escape. The most important thing is to leak the information about Takeda Kamiro so that Yoshigan Shiba is willing to believe his words at the critical moment in the future.
That sentence, Shiba Yoshigan and Takeda Shingen have a daughter, her name is Takeda Reina.
How could Yoshigan know that Takeda Nobutora's thoughts were so hidden? He just frowned and felt helpless towards Ashikaga Yoshiaki who insisted on causing trouble in Nijo Castle.
Yoshigan actually doesn't care much about whether the Takeda family and the Oda family will fight.
In troubled times, the samurai lords instinctively expand abroad, and Takeda Shingen is no exception. Fighting is a common thing, but not fighting is a strange thing.
On the Kanto side, the current imperial decree concerning the East Peaceful War is concerned, as well as the political framework of the Grand Council of the Eastern Imperial Palace.
It is impossible for Takeda Shingen to continue to expand into Kanto and trigger a counterattack from the entire Kanto samurai peacekeeping system, so the only expansion direction she can choose is Tokaido.
Regardless of Takeda Shingen's success or failure in going to Luo, it means that the stalemate between the Tokugawa family and the Takeda family in Tokaido is over. The matter is not over until both sides defeat each other.
Tokugawa Ieyasu would not be Takeda Shingen's opponent, and Takeda Shingen's excuse for going to war was to use Ashikaga Yoshiaki's imperial letter to participate in Nobunaga's siege. Oda Nobunaga could not stand idly by.
In the final result, whether it is the victory of the Oda Tokugawa coalition or the victory of the Takeda army, Tokaido will be controlled by the same force again. This may be an opportunity for the Tokaido trade route to be restarted.
The annual logistics market in Kanto and Kansai is about five million dollars. When Imagawa Yoshimoto opened the Tokaido trade route, the Imagawa family became the richest samurai family in the world.
After Imagawa Yoshimoto died in the battle, Tokaido was in turmoil due to the decline of the Imagawa family. Most caravans chose to take the Hokuriku Road opened up by the Shiba family to ensure the safety and stability of logistics.
Whether it is the Takeda family, the Oda family, or the Tokugawa family, once the current stalemate in Tokaido is broken, the new Tokaido overlord will inevitably reorganize the trade routes and enhance its own strength.
With the return of the Tokaido trade route, the uniqueness of the Hokurikudo trade route is no longer there, and its impact is difficult to estimate.
Takada Yono's economic reforms have not yet begun, and the income of the Shiba Tadashi Fund will decline due to the market stagnation on the Hokurikudo Trading Road. Then there will be financial pressure on the payment of Shiba Pension.
The fact that the Takeda family went to Luo and led to the war on the Tokaido Road was like the first domino to fall. It is likely to trigger a reshuffle of the logistics market. This is something that Yoshibank has to be wary of.
Before Takada Yono completed the three new economic plans, the stability of the Hokuriku Dou trade route was paramount, and the Bank of Japan would not allow any accidents to occur.
