Chapter 1974 A good old man with long sleeves and good dancing
Maeda Toshiie's decision led to the entry of Miracle Maru into the Tsugumi family, making it clear that he wanted to eliminate the Oda family.
But both Yoshigan Shiba and Mitsuhide Akechi chose to accept it. Even if Oda Nobunaga knew about it, she would acquiesce.
Just because Oda Nobunaga was the most extreme innovator in the island country for thousands of years, the samurai who hated her were like a crucian carp crossing a river.
Not everyone can inherit her career, and whoever inherits her legacy will also inherit the Wu family's ill will towards her.
None of the parents of Qi Qi Wan would want a baby who has just reached one month of age to have to endure such a gloomy and unclear future.
As for Akechi Mitsuhide, the Miracle Pill that she once wanted to eradicate will be her best weapon to completely dismantle Oda Nobunaga's successor. What a rare commodity.
Oda Nobunaga is dead, and a new round of political reshuffle is inevitable. Everyone wants to lead the future in the direction that is most beneficial to them, and Kijimaru has already been deeply trapped in the whirlpool.
Being adopted by Akechi Mitsuhide, living in seclusion with this criminal adoptive mother, and temporarily avoiding the attention of the public is already the best choice.
Maeda Toshiie, who came up with this idea, can be regarded as the woman who knows Oda Nobunaga best.
Through this incident, Maeda Toshiie not only helped the saint settle his inner troubles, but also sold a great favor to the two divine descendants of Akechi Hosokawa, which also allowed the Nizi family to swallow the bitter pill themselves and not offend others.
As for Maeda's interests, Maeda Toshiie informed the saint of his thoughts on the one hand and drew them closer to him. On the other hand, he secretly revealed the hidden dangers of the school district to put the Kamao clan under the saint's seat on guard.
Maeda Toshiie's ability to dance well makes him worthy of being a good old man who has been with Oda Nobunaga for ten years.
After having an in-depth talk with Maeda Toshiie, Yoshihiro Shiba stayed at the Owari ancestral home for a few days, just waiting for Maeda Toshiie to write letters to all parties to clarify his interests.
After that, Yoshigan Shiba embarked on a journey again, passing through Kitaise and entering the Iga Basin. Along the way, the Oda territory did not dare to neglect, and many Oda retainers sent the saint off to pass by.
Once we entered the Iga Basin, which is the territory of Kinki Shiba Territory, the scenery and culture suddenly changed.
Ever since the shogunate rewarded Miyoshi Chokei for his merits and granted the Kokutama and Iga kingdoms to Shiba Yoshigan, this place has not experienced war for ten years.
In troubled times, this is not easy.
In addition, the Sibo family relies on the food stamp system to obtain money and food, and does not rely much on land finance. Basically, land taxes and land taxes are taken from the people and used for the people, and rarely handed over.
Ten years of cultivation have made Kinki Shiba Territory a beacon that attracts worldwide attention. Compared with the militaristic Oda Territory, Kinki Shiba Territory is simply a paradise flowing with honey and milk.

Iga country, Ueno Castle, Jukan.
As spring passes and summer comes, the sun fills the courtyard, and the frightened deer in the pond splash out of the water with a banging sound, driving away the first ray of heat in early summer.
Yoshigan was sitting on the porch full of sunlight, holding his ninth daughter, Torachiyo, born to Maeda Yoshida, in his arms. He was shaking his arms to make the child open his mouth and smile.
The full-term child's eyebrows are open and he is looking at the world with his big innocent eyes, full of curiosity about everything around him.
To the left and right of Yoshigan, Maeda Yoshi and Kamo Clan were sitting separately, looking at each other in different ways.
Seeing the joyful interaction between Yoshihiro and the child, Maeda couldn't help but straighten his back and raise his head with pride. Even his chest, which had been feeling uncomfortable for the past few days, felt a lot more relaxed.
On the other side, Kamo's eyes were burning and his heart was bitter.
The saint granted her grace and served her at night several times, but her stomach just didn't live up to expectations and she could only watch other people's children become sour.
The two women's eyes were fixed on the saint and the child, but they were talking about you and me, without delaying the business at all.
Kamo Shigo said eloquently.
“There are clouds in the sky, trees grow in ten years, and people grow in a hundred years.
Selecting and attracting talents is a century-old plan of the Sibo family. The examination items must be carefully considered and must not be used as a tool for some people's personal gain.
We will not mention martial arts for the moment, let’s talk about literary studies first.
Etiquette, literacy, names of people, places, and arithmetic are all the daily needs of the martial arts and are indispensable. On the contrary, items such as the Four Books and Five Classics of Confucian classics are obscure and difficult to understand, so they can be simplified."
There is no airtight wall in the world. It is enough for Maeda Toshiie to give advice in front of the saint's throne and be served by Tongxin people outside the door. Only a few words leaked to the Tongxin secretariat.
Just as Maeda Toshiie expected, when the Kamo clan learned that the new plan for Shiba selection that they carefully formulated had been taken advantage of, they were naturally furious.
At this time, it is impossible to eliminate Confucian classics. If the order is changed overnight, wouldn't Spoelstra's selection become a joke?
However, Kamao Clan cannot just sit idly by and ignore Maeda's interests. It is always inevitable to attack Maeda in front of her interests.
But who is Maeda Benefit?
Shiba Kinki's top position in the military, the first follower of the saint, and the child born to the saint are currently being held. How can she be controlled by a latecomer from the Kamao clan?
Back then, when Maeda and the saint were traveling across mountains and ridges to kill the evil gang, this little girl from Kamo clan was still changing her teeth and her hair was not fully grown.
Maeda smiled and said.
"What Pu Shengji said is wrong.
Although the Confucian classics are obscure, the principles contained in them are the right path of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. It is this spirit that the Wu family lacks.
There are many talented people in the Wu family, but what is the use of having talent but no virtue?
In my opinion, the proportion of Confucian classics is not too much, but too little. If everyone had a clear understanding of righteousness and loyalty to the emperor and the country, could the world be in such chaos now?
Pu Shengji, do you think this is true?"
Kamouso smiled coldly and was about to retort, but Yi Gin, who had been listening to their bickering for a long time, already had a headache and quickly interrupted.
"That's enough, don't say a word. It's all for the good of the Sibo family. Why do you need to get red-faced and ruin the harmony in vain.
The new selection plan for Spoelstra's selection has just been released, and it has not yet yielded results, so what's there to argue about?
The selection process for the new year will begin soon. We cannot withdraw the plan and make changes at this time, causing random suspicions.
Since the rules have been set, just follow them. If you find any shortcomings in the future, just revise them."
Maeda Yiyi fell to the ground and kowtowed.
"The saint is wise."
Although Kamao Clan couldn't see Maeda's bowed face, he knew that there must be a proud look on it.
But the sage has already spoken, and he can't pour any cold water on him today. He can only let Maeda's interests be proud for a few days.
If Toshihisa Maeda, the mother of Maeda's interests, was here, she would definitely call her daughter a fool. Why would she offend Kamao Clan, the maker of the rules of the game?
However, Maeda's interests have always been wild, and he even boasted of being a genius back then. He is a scholar at heart, so he would not care about such a trivial matter.
