After struggling for a long time, Nagao Kagetora was still picking up information about Shiba Yoshigan, and Naoe Kanetsugu couldn't bear it anymore.
admonished.
"Your Highness, when you come to Beijing this time, the most important thing is to meet the general, or listen to more about the general, right?
Understand Mr. Gongfang's temperament, so that you can cater to his liking when you meet him and gain favor for the Nagao family."
Nagao Kagetora frowned slightly and said displeased.
"I listened to Duke Qianxin's information for the purpose of entering the capital.
He has promised to help me meet with the general. Considering his character, he will do what he says.
I have to understand his preferences so that I can cater to him, increase his favorability towards the Nagao family, and deepen the relationship between the two families."
Naoe Kanetsugu smiled bitterly.
"But the information you want is simply not available.
What flowers does Duke Qianxin like, what colors does he like, what kind of fabrics does he like, what kind of food does he like, and what kind of women does he like.
I really can’t collect anything at all.”
Nagao Kagetora nodded and sighed.
“Looking at everything he did along the way, he sacrificed himself for the sake of reviving the family business.
Sure enough, even men’s nature has been wiped out, which is pitiful.”
Naoe Kanetsugu shook his head.
Your Highness is not concerned about important matters. It is true that you are thinking about strategies to pursue men.
Think about it, the figure of Shiba Yiyin walking out of the wine shop that day.
As a married woman, she was so fascinated that she couldn't bear to eat, let alone His Highness, a young bird who kept company with war and drinking.
After all, it was time for me to fall in love, although it was a few years late and it was a bit troublesome to choose a partner.
At this time, there was a call from the approaching flag base outside, and Naoe Kanetsu went out for a while. When he came back, his face was filled with spring breeze.
"Your Highness, I am very happy.
The Sibo family sent someone to summon you. Tomorrow morning, General Qianxin will meet with the general together with you."
Nagao Kagetora suddenly stood up, rubbed his hands and smiled.
"I knew he was true to his word, and I knew it was really fast."
Seeing her smiling face, Naoe Kanetsugu felt more and more uneasy, so he tactfully persuaded her.
"Your Highness, Duke Qianxin has a good reputation, and his lords have often praised his conduct.
It is said that Da Ootai wanted to marry him so that he could get married to the general."
Nagao Kagetora's expression changed drastically and he looked towards Naoe Kanetsugu.
"really?"
Naoe Kanetsugu wished he could give up his master's dream as soon as possible, so as not to cause trouble when the Nagao family's life and death were at stake.
He said firmly.
"Absolutely true!"
Nagao Kagetora sat back in his seat silently, raised his glass, drank it all in one gulp, and then filled another glass.
murmured to himself.
"Is it true that we are not destined to be destined to each other?"
Naoe Kane continued to pursue the victory.
"There is no grass anywhere in the world.
Your Highness is determined to continue the family business, and our retainers will do our best to serve you.
After returning to Echigo, I will choose a gentleman and choose a virtuous and virtuous young master for His Highness."
Nagao Kagetora didn't seem to hear what she said and was minding his own business.
Say it in your mouth.
"No, something's wrong."
She looked at Naoe Kanetsugu and said.
"You said that Da Yutai wanted to recruit a bride.
Then why did the general announce in public that he intended to entrust Sakamoto Castle to the Shiba family?
There are noisy rumors in the capital, all related to the promotion of the Sibo family.
The Shiba family suddenly resurrected and their foothold was not stable. If the Ashikaga family really valued him, they would definitely block his light.
Now that the trees are so beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them. This is not a favor, it is clearly a flattery."
Naoe Kanetsugu was speechless for a moment.
Nagao Kagetora has grown up in the midst of deception since he was fourteen years old. The more he suffered, the more his intuition became much sharper.
Naoe Kanetsugu explained.
"But the information does say that the Grand Imperial Office favors him very much, and they have invited him to Beijing to accompany him during winter Buddhist ceremonies, just in these few days."
Nagao Kagetora sneered.
"Like it? I'm afraid it's just a matter of time.
After applying pressure several times, it feels like the heat is about the same. Do you want to take action?
It's really eye-opening for the dignified family of the Ashikaga Shoguns to resort to such tricks against a weak man who is fighting alone for some small gain.
I admire you.
He is worthy of being the lord of the world. He is thick-skinned and can hold his position firmly."
Naoe Kanetsugu was so shocked that he couldn't help but look outside, then kowtowed to the ground and said anxiously.
"Your Highness, be careful, that is the Ashikaga family."
Nagao Kagetora snorted.
"I can't say what she does well?"
Suddenly, she was no longer interested in going to Luo. It wasn't that she felt it couldn't be done, but she just felt a little nauseous.
But after all, she is a female protagonist, and her personal likes and dislikes cannot override the interests of the family. She suppressed her disgust towards the Ashikaga family and said.
"Don't worry, I will treat you respectfully when you meet me tomorrow."
Seeing that His Highness had come out of his previous love state and regained his composure as a family governor, Naoe Kanetsugu breathed a sigh of relief.
Does she really know nothing about what the Ashikaga family is doing? I'm afraid that's not necessarily the case.
There are some things that should be seen through but not revealed. It would be best if the Lord can figure it out for himself.
Nagao Kagetora thought of the young man's back, feeling a little sad that he was not worth it.
The shogunate is corrupt and Ashikaga is incompetent. They will only watch and torture honest people. If you have the ability, you can use tricks on the Miyoshi family.
Bully the weak and fear the hard.
At this time, she finally saw clearly the reality of the shogunate and understood a truth.
After receiving the post of governor of Kanto, she will return to Echigo and don't expect other support.
This shogunate is unreliable.
She thought for a moment and said.
"Send a heavy gift to Sibo's residence for me, and tell him that I will go there tomorrow morning to wait for Lord Qianxin and have an audience with him together."
Naoe Kanetsugu fell to the ground and resigned. Nagao Kagetora held up the wine glass, laughed at himself, and drank it down in one gulp.
———
The Imperial Palace is the place where the male family members live.
Da Ootai Suo sighed and waved his hands to the people sitting down.
"You go down first."
The man shouted loudly, kowtowed to the ground, and respectfully left.
Ashikaga Teru-kun on the side looked at Odaisho worriedly and said.
"Father, how could you arrange spies among the swordsmen to spy on my sister?
Isn’t this appropriate?”
Da Oitaisuo glanced at him and shook his head helplessly.
I used to take good care of this kid, and I made him look stupid.
At this moment, he felt a little regretful and wanted to bring him into contact with some reality. It seemed that the stimulation was too strong and he couldn't bear it.
As a father, you are really in a dilemma.
He pointed to the table and said patiently.
"There is also a secret report given to me by Yagyu Sogan here. Are you thinking about telling your sister?"
Ashikaga Teru-kun was speechless for a moment, and he did have the idea of secretly informing.
Ootaisho shook his head, feeling helpless for his son's innocence.
"Yihui knows, I never thought of hiding it from her.
She is too strong-willed and sometimes makes things difficult.
This shogunate is a mess. How can we solve the problem by relying on our strength and strength?
She can't keep her face clean, so I will be the peacemaker. Over the years, she and I have become accustomed to it."
Ashikaga Teru-kun suddenly realized that the father and daughter were singing operas and had a tacit understanding for a long time.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru knew who would report the news to Odai. If there was something he didn't want him to know, he would naturally avoid those people.
When Ootai saw his son understood, he nodded happily. After all, he is my son, but he lacks experience and is not stupid.
"The winter worship ceremony will be held the day after tomorrow, please inform everyone."
Ashikaga Teru-kun was confused.
"Father, didn't you tell me how many days it will take?"
Dagodai shook his head and couldn't help but sigh.
"It's impossible to do anything. This kid Yihui, ugh..."
I really don’t understand men, I’m afraid there will be a falling out if I wait any longer.
Da Ootaisuo didn't want to dislike his own child, so he couldn't bear to say the last part of the sentence.
Forget it about your own seeds.
Ashikaga Teru-kun could only hear half of the sentence and blinked his eyes in confusion.
He looked at the secret report on the table and asked suddenly.
"Father, what will happen to these people who informed you in the future?"
Da Yutai looked at him in surprise. He didn't expect him to think of this. A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and he said.
"Let's see if Yihui needs them.
Don’t you even have to make excuses when you don’t need them?”
Ashikaga Teru-kun suddenly felt a chill. The imperial palace no longer looked like the place where he grew up.
Over the years, in secret corners that he couldn't see, there were countless things that happened that he didn't know about.
