Chapter 1484 Internal strife in the Standing Council
Enraged by Yoshigan Shiba's letter, Terutora Uesugi simply imitated Takeda Shingen's style of abandoning infants and raising daughters to become a monk, and he learned everything he could.
She almost pointed at Shiba Yoshigan's nose and asked, Rena Takeda and Miyuki Uesugi fell into the river together, who are you going to save?
With Teruhora Uesugi's unequivocal statement, people all over the world will soon understand whose father Miyuki Uesugi is.
Honjo Minoru and Naoe Keizuna wanted to stay away from their master's love life, but they had to discuss how to reply to Yoshihiro Shiba's letter.
Over the past four or five years, the Shiba Uesugi family has become a political iron alliance in which you have me and you have me.
Uesugi Kenshin dared to break up and break up, but her ministers were on the verge of tears. It was related to their vital interests and they couldn't even try to persuade her to make peace.
On this end, the Uesugi retainers were feeling numb. On the other end, the Standing Council of the Kanto Palace was not in peace and was holding an emergency closed-door meeting at the Imperial Palace.
The six directors entered the meeting hall to talk secretly. Without outsiders, of course they could speak freely and there was no need to hide anything.
Daxiong Chaoxiu's complexion alternately turned red and sometimes black, and turned blue again, looking like he was about to tilt his neck and faint at any moment.
She gritted her teeth and said.
"Yamaka Yukimori! You must give me an explanation today as to whether Takeda's conquest was ordered by your Majesty!"
Yamanaka Yukimori glanced at Daxiong Chaoxiu who was almost going crazy after saying this, and said in a deep voice.
"Master Daxiong, I never said that Takeda's conquest was ordered by Tsutado-dono. You must not make random guesses. It would be bad for the rumors to reach your ears."
Big Bear laughed angrily at Chao Xiu, pointed at Dao Shengmeng, and shouted angrily.
"At this time, I still care about you, do you know? I'm afraid that in your heart, I have long become a treacherous minister and traitor who is colluding with you!
The mountains are prosperous! The islands are fierce! You...you..."
Daxiong Chaoxiu felt bitter, she was really wronged.
Before Yoshihiro Shiba left Kanto, he established a standing council to handle Kanto affairs for him, and supported three people, Yukimori Yamanaka, Takeo Shima, and Tohide Ohkuma, to serve as permanent directors.
If the three of them agree, they will have a veto power, which is enough for Shiba Yoshibank to be optimistic about its own Kanto territory and lead the new Kanto political ecology.
Just because your Majesty once called the three of them together and had a heart-to-heart talk, and the three of them vowed to unite, Daxiong Chaoxiu was deceived by these two people and fell into a big trap.
Just before the beginning of spring, the two men had a secret meeting with Okuma Asahide to discuss the Takeda expedition.
Daxiong Zhaoxiu was surprised at that time. Before leaving, the king always emphasized that economic construction should be given top priority and maintain the good political situation of peace in Kanto.
However, Yamanaka Yukimori's words were always misleading Okuma Chaohide, making her think that Takeda Shingen went to Luo to disobey the emperor's wishes, and that the Kanto Palace sent troops to lead Takeda, which was the emperor's request.
At that time, Shima Katsuki was with him, and he acquiesced in Yamanaka Yukimori's deception. Both of them were close confidants of the king. This allowed Daxiong Chaohide to suppress his doubts and make a decision together with them.
Daxiong Chaoxiu never expected that the two of them would be tricked to death as soon as they turned around just now when they showed unity in front of Jun Shang.
It is clear that Yamanaka Yukimori and Shima Katsuo are close confidants who are more direct relatives than themselves, but they are pretending to convey the emperor's wishes. How audacious!
Behind the backs of Yoshigan Shiba, these two men secretly colluded with Uesugi Teruatora and the Hojo clan, and jointly sent troops to attack the Takeda family.
Colluding with foreign vassals, falsely conveying decrees, and dragging himself into trouble. Just thinking about it made Daxiong Chaoxiu feel his scalp numb and his whole body tremble.
At this moment, a letter from Shiba Yiyin arrived at the Kanto Palace. The fierce questioning made Daxiong Chaoxiu understand the truth and hated the two people.
Your Majesty doesn't know the specific situation in Kanto, so he must think that he is also a comrade of Yamanaka Yukimori and Shima Katsuo, and there is no way to justify his grievances!
Daxiong Chaohide didn't care about the hypocrisy of dignity at this moment. He pointed at Yamanaka Yukimori and Shimakatsu and cursed violently, wishing that everyone would know that he had been tricked into the situation.
In particular, Yiyin was very heart-wrenching in the letter, asking them why they wanted to kill their daughter.
Daxiong Chaohide was really on the verge of crying. She only found out that Takeda Shingen had given birth to a daughter for Shiba Yoshigoshi after seeing the letter.
Now, she finally understood the reason why Yamanaka Yukimori and Shima Shengmeng pretended to convey the king's wishes.
These two bastards covet the emperor and ignore the righteousness of the emperor and his subjects! But Daxiong Chaoxiu is a loyal minister and she is really innocent!
Okuma Asahide was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. She was just a member of the Echigo-zen guardian family. If Shiba Yoshigan hadn't shielded her from the wind and rain, she would have been killed by those bastards of the Uesugi retainers.
Your Majesty's kindness allowed her to sit firmly at the head of the Guandong Service Office, and she also had the honor of the Standing Council of the Guandong Service Office.
She has everything she should have in terms of power and status, and she is very satisfied with her current life. But if she loses the trust of the king, she, Okuma Asahide, will be considered a pawn in the Echigo samurai group!
Not to mention the evil-minded guys in the Uesugi retainers group who have long wanted to suppress him, just within the Kanto Palace, Ozo Changan has been keeping an eye on his position.
Daxiong Chaoxiu became more and more frightened as she thought about it, with cold sweats on her head and back. If she lost the trust of Shiba Yiyin, her position of power might be replaced by someone at any time.
Faced with Ohuma Asohide's accusations, it was difficult for Yamanaka Yukimori and Shimakatsu Takeo to refute.
They accepted Uesugi Teruhora's invitation and attacked Takeda Shingen together. It was indeed out of irrational indignation and against the will of Shiba Yoshigan.
But as heaven and earth can tell, they are not unfaithful, but too loyal.
Regarding the scandal in which Takeda Shingen forced Yoshihiro in Yantian City, they were even more angry than Shiba Yoshihiro himself, and wanted to seek justice for their lord and wash away the shame.
Takeda Shingen was also a decisive opponent. She immediately sent the child to Tamonyama Castle to hand over to the Lord, thus breaking the offensive of the Kanto Palace.
No one expected that the mountain monkeys of the Takeda family actually had a navy and could quickly transport Reina Takeda to a nearby place, which attracted the decisive intervention of Yoshigan Shiba.
Takeda's conquest was originally a quick-decision strategy, to defeat the enemy with one strike before Yoshigan Shiba could react. But now, it was too late.
With the arrival of Shiba Yiyin's letter, Okuma Chaohide, the logistics manager of the Kanto Palace, must have given up his job. Without logistical support, this battle cannot be fought.
And Terutora Uesugi is also a cunning guy. She wants to drag Yamanaka Yukimori, Shima Katsuruo, and Sanada Nobushige into the water to help her kill the Takeda child.
Yamanaka Yukimori and Shimakatsu looked at each other fiercely, the doubts in their hearts getting deeper and deeper.
For such an important matter as Takeda's conquest, Terutora Uesugi did not go out personally, but sent several generals to attack. This was not in line with her character and habit of being brave enough to go into battle.
Moreover, Kasugayama Castle was heavily guarded these days, and Uesugi Teruhora refused to even show up for the military meeting on Takeda's conquest, and huddled in the castle without seeing any movement.
These abnormal behaviors made Yamanaka Yukimori and Shima Shengmeng have an idea in their minds.
Ten months of pregnancy is the time when the pregnancy will finally mature. It has been almost half a year since your return, and counting the time, if Teru Uesugi was really pregnant before then, it would indeed be time to give birth.
Thinking of this, the two of them felt even more sad. It was me, it was me first. It was obviously me who came first, but why was Terutora Uesugi the one who had the master's child first?
They could only hope that they had guessed wrong, but the reality looming before them made it difficult for them to deceive themselves.
Your Majesty's stern rebuke, Ohkuma Asahide's angry rebuke, Takeda's expedition failed helplessly, and Uesugi Terutora's childbirth.
With so many troubles and worries coming at them, Yamanaka Yukimori and Shima Katsuo couldn't bring themselves to compete with Daxiong Chaohide.
And the three non-permanent directors have their own thoughts.
Although the Standing Council of the Kanto Palace is chaired by six people, they are also divided into priorities.
Yamanaka Yukimori, Shima Katsume, and Ohkuma Asohide are the permanent directors. These three positions cannot be replaced. Moreover, they have the privileges granted by Shiba Yiyin. The three of them can veto with one vote.
These three people can be said to be the top three ministers.
As for the three non-permanent directors, Sanada Nobushige, Ogasawara Nagatoki and Oda Ujiharu, their terms are only one year. It is enough to get some benefits for oneself, but if you hope to grasp the power, this short year is not enough.
The non-permanent director actually bought a horse bone with a lot of money, and made a gesture of co-ruling the Kanto Palace with the Kanto samurai family, so as to share the political interests.
Feng shui takes turns, and rain and dew must be equally affected. Who can take the seat depends mainly on the game between the parties.
These three people can be said to be the lower three ministers.
For this Takeda expedition, Okuma Asahide, a senior member of the Shangsanqing family, was deceived. He jointly initiated the resolution with Yamanaka Yukimori and Shima Katsuruo, and naturally it was passed smoothly without any trouble.
And among the three lower ministers.
Although Ogasawara Nagatoki is very senior, she is weak. It was Yoshigan's measures to appease the old man, and she was able to serve as director for one year. She would not disobey the Lord Sanqing's proposal, and could only follow and obey.
Oda Ujiharu was even less confident. She was attacked from both sides by the Satake family of the Hojo family, but it was Yoshigan Shiba who came forward to give her the identity of uniting all the people and protecting her family business.
She also knew in her heart that she was just a sign that Yiyin set up to show off to the Guanbazhou Wu family who had just joined the United Front and the Grand Council.
Oda Ujiharu hopes that by virtue of her status as a non-permanent director, she can bring some benefits to her family this year. As for the resolutions of the board of directors, she is only responsible for raising her hands to support them, and her personal opinions are nothing.
The only non-permanent director who really has the strength to say a few words in the Standing Council is Sanada Nobushige, the powerful representative of the Nishi Ueno Samurai Group.
But Nobushige Sanada was the one who colluded with Yukimori Yamanaka and Takeshi Shimakatsu. Of course she was in favor of sending troops to the Takeda family.
Until this time, Yamanaka Yukimori and Shima Katsuruo had already decided to give up. Only Sanada Nobushige remained true to his original intention and stood up to confront Daekuma Asohide.
"Big Bear Ji, what you said is wrong.
How did Takeda Shingen become pregnant? You were in Kawanakajima at the time, so you should know.
Your Majesty endured the humiliation for the sake of the overall situation. We ministers do not want to endure the humiliation of Your Majesty. We want to seek justice from Takeda Shingen and wash away the shame. How can we say that we are traitors and traitors?
In my opinion, your Majesty just feels sorry for your daughter and doesn't care about Takeda Shingen.
Now that we have sent out troops, we cannot give up halfway. As long as we capture Kai Kingdom and kill Takeda Shingen, Your Majesty will definitely sympathize with our loyalty to you."
Daxiong Chaohide looked at Sanada Nobushige with a livid face and started to utter nonsense. Even Yamanaka Yukimori and Shimakatsu Takeshi said nothing. This wild monkey in the mountains is still stubborn!
"Nonsense! Sanada-hime, don't forget your identity!
Your Majesty has sent a letter to warn you that you and I are now waiting for punishment. It is only right to stop all military operations and wait for your Majesty's disposal.
At this point, you still want to fight, are you really confused? Or do you want to drag me to death with you?"
Seeing the big bear raging towards Hide, Sanada Nobushige didn't care.
Sanada Nobushige has been working hard in these years, firstly to get closer to his idol Shiba Yoshigan, and secondly to avenge Takeda Shingen.
She chose the word "Xinfan" as her name, so she knew how much the events in Yantian City had had an impact on her.
From Sanada Nobushige's point of view, Takeda Reina is the daughter of the king, so naturally she has nothing to say about how the king arranges this illegitimate daughter.
But that beast, Takeda Shingen, how could she escape justice with the help of Takeda Reina, the daughter she obtained through forced humiliation?
In the final analysis, this man is too soft-hearted and needs a real woman like Sanada Nobunaga to help him take revenge!
Seeing Yamanaka Yukimori and Shimakatsu Takeo tied up by a letter from the king, sighing and feeling hopeless, Sanada Nobushige felt a surge of anger rising in his heart.
She sneered.
"Big Bear Girl, you don't need to judge my loyalty to the Lord. I will take responsibility when I come before you in the future.
Now that the resolution of the Standing Council of the Kanto Palace has been issued, the Uesugi and Hojo families are also fighting bravely on the front lines. As allies, we retreat and wait and see at this time, which really chills the Allies.
The Sanada people will continue to attack Toshin, and cooperate with the two allied forces of Uesugi and Hojo to capture Takeda Shingen as soon as possible!"
Da Xiong said angrily to Chao Xiu.
"You will be responsible? Sanada Nobushige! Can you afford this responsibility?
This is not your Shangoogou, this is the Imperial Palace, the Kanto Palace, and there are rules! We are all here to carry out your Majesty’s order and stop all military operations!
I warn you, if you dare to act without permission, the Kanto Service Office will immediately cut off all logistical support to the Nishi Ueno land."
Sanada Nobushige said coldly.
"Even if the Kanto Palace no longer cooperates, the Sanada people will fight on with their own strength!
Do you want to pressure me with a letter of inquiry from Tsutado-don? Don’t forget, the resolution authorizing the dispatch of troops was issued in the name of the Standing Council, and I just implemented it."
Da Xiong Chao Xiu's eyes turned red. She didn't expect Sanada Nobushige to be such a rogue.
Although the Standing Council of the Kanto Separate House claims to be independent to the outside world, in fact, who doesn’t know that the Kanto Separate House was built by Yoshihiro Shiba, and it is impossible for the Standing Council to disobey him.
Sanada Nobushige wants to use a decision to suppress Daxiong Chaohide and follow the procedures. This is a bastard!
Da Xiong snorted towards Xiu.
"Okay, okay, I know Sanada is rich now, but don't forget how you got rich!"
