Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-Five The Collision of Righteousness
Shima Shengmeng’s anger is justified.
In official matters, Yoshihiro Shiba is an envoy to the shogunate, and the local samurai should respect him.
In terms of status, he also holds a royal sword, which is equivalent to the direct descendant of the Genji family in Kawachi, and all members of the Kanto royal family are his subordinates.
The Joetsu samurai family was so negligent, and Shima Shengmeng's anger was a manifestation of the moral principles of a king's humiliation and his minister's death.
Before the group of people settled down in the palace, Shima Shengmeng had already bowed and offered advice to Yiyin.
"Your Highness, the Shangyue Wu family is rude!
You are of high status, but they dare to leave you here and ignore you. They deserve to be punished!
Please consider returning to live in Tomei City, and give orders to all families in Shangyue!"
Before Yoshiyin could speak, Yamanaka Yukimori on the side had already opened his mouth to stop him.
"Not allowed, Your Highness!
His Highness Teru Uesugi has made a lot of concessions in order to rule Echigo for the Uesugi Shiba family. The Joetsu samurai family are all Uesugi retainers, so of course they will exclude us.
Now His Highness Uesugi is fighting in Shinano, and most of the leaders and military forces of the Joetsu families have been transferred to the front line.
The remaining left-behind Wu families don’t understand the rules, so we shouldn’t be too harsh on them and affect the overall cooperation between the two families.”
Yiyin listened to what the two girls said and pondered for a long time.
He had little foundation in Echigo, so he paid special attention to dignity and severely punished offenders.
Shima Katsuki's statement is good, but he still prefers Yamanaka Yukimori's view and does not want to make the matter a big deal.
After all, Uesugi Teruhu gave too much, so it is normal for the new Uesugi retainers to have emotions.
If he reacts too fiercely, it will damage the already fragile trust relationship between the two parties and be detrimental to cooperation.
Yiyin said.
"It's better to stay here temporarily and send someone to send an order to Honjo Shino and ask her to give me an explanation.
You all go down, I'm a little tired.
Shimahime, we will take people back to Tomei Castle tomorrow. We are new here, so I feel more at ease if you look over there."
Yiyin asked Honzo Minoru to explain. This was a step for both parties to step down.
I am not a fool, so I will naturally understand what he means and take care of everyone's face.
Dao Shengmeng was unwilling to give in, but the master had already made a decision, and she couldn't say much, so she had to bow and leave.
Tobi Castle is the Shiba family's first stronghold in Echigo. She has a heavy responsibility and must return as soon as possible.
Kamo clan went to accompany Yi Gin, and Yamazaka Yukimori and Shima Shengmu went out together.
Yamanaka Yukimori saw that Shima Shengmeng looked unhappy and reminded him.
"Lord Shima, the Lord has given you the position of Toromi Castle Castle. This is a sign of his respect and trust in you.
Don't have other thoughts, just go back and guard the backyard for the Lord."
Daosheng glanced at her sideways and said.
"What do you mean? Are you saying that my advice is selfish?"
Yamanaka Yukimori chuckled.
"I don't dare. It's just that Master Shima would be a little reluctant to leave Torowei City."
Shima Katsu suddenly stopped and glared at her. Yamanaka Yukimori was not afraid of her and stopped to look at her.
Shima Shengmeng suddenly grabbed Yamanaka Yukimori's collar with his right hand and pushed her to the wall next to the corridor.
"Explain to me clearly what it means to be reluctant!"
Yamanaka Yukimori narrowed his eyes slightly, stuck one hand on his collar, and pushed down the back of Shima Katsu's right hand fiercely. The two sides were locked in a stalemate.
"Didn't I make it clear enough?
His Highness was determined to maintain the influence of the Shiba family in Echigo, so he chose to compromise and come to Joetsu to facilitate communication with His Highness Uesugi.
But what about you? In order to invite favor in front of the lord, you actually proposed to return to the city of Changwei in China and Vietnam.
Dao Shengmeng! Tell me! Do you have any selfish motives?"
Dao Shengmeng's eyes were red and his teeth were clenching.
"Happiness in the mountains!
Since I joined the Shiba family, I have been loyal to my lord and have never slacked off in the slightest.
How dare you doubt my loyalty to your lord!
You are young and ignorant, and have put your lord in danger many times. You are also self-righteous, which has led to divisions among people of the same mind and alienation from morality.
You are the one who is unworthy of your virtue! You are the silverfish of the Shiba family!"
Yamanaka Yukimori turned pale after being scolded by her. He struggled to break free from her hand and faced her face to face, their breaths hitting each other's faces.
"Dao Shengmeng, you still have the nerve to mention the matter of Tongxinzhong!
You took advantage of your status in Beidahe to win over the Beidahe people among the same people, and excluded the Hime Samurai who came from the Iga people. I haven't settled this matter with you yet!
I am the author of Tongxinzhong! What qualifications do you have to reprimand me! You are the culprit that causes Tongxinzhong's discord!"
Shima Sheng laughed angrily, then took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
"Am I the culprit?
Okay, okay, you are sharp-tongued and I won't talk nonsense with you. Think about it for yourself, how can you occupy the high position of Tongxinzhongbi.
The malice between the Wu family is so ugly that you, a young girl like you, can't even think of it. Ask yourself, are you sure you can take good care of His Highness?
I will go back to Tongwei City soon. As the first person His Highness approaches, you must know how to protect him!
I don't want to argue with you today, not because you are reasonable. But because His Highness trusts you, values you, and keeps you by his side.
Think about the hardships His Highness has endured and the sins he has endured, and don’t let him suffer any more hardships.
I envy you very much, I envy you for being able to stand by his side. If I have the opportunity to stand by his side, I will definitely do better than you! I am willing to die for him!
So I beg you, stop being naive, use your wisdom to resist external malice, and protect our Highness.
Please! Yamanaka Hime!"
After saying that, her eyes filled with tears, she took a step back and bowed deeply to Yamanaka Yukimori.
Shima Katsuo's candid attitude shocked Yamanaka Yukimori. This tall warrior Hime actually bowed his head to her, making her begin to wonder if she had made assumptions.
The disagreement between the two people ultimately affected the Sibo family and Siba Yiyin.
Dao Sheng's willingness to bow her head patiently is due to her endless loyalty and deep love for her master, and she is willing to endure hardships and take the overall situation into consideration.
Yamanaka Yukimori is also Giri's Samurai Hime, and is the same type of person as Shima Katsuruo. They could have been good friends, but they fought because of their greed for their lord and could not coexist peacefully.
But at this moment, the mature Shima Katsuki taught the young Yamanaka Yukimori a lesson, causing her to reflect on whether her actions were appropriate.
Yamanaka Yukimori hesitated for a moment, bowed in return, and accepted Shima Shengmeng's entrustment. Then he raised his head and said harshly.
"I will do my best to take good care of His Highness, and I am willing to die for Your Highness. You don't need to tell me, I will do my best!"
Daosheng smiled brightly.
"I understand, you and I are all for His Highness. Even if you are in the lead now, I will never admit defeat!"
After saying that, she turned around and left to reorganize her troops and prepare to return to Tongwei City.
Yamanaka Yukimori felt uncomfortable watching her leave freely.
She also knows that she has too little knowledge and is naive in her actions. But she can be submissive and humble in other matters, but only the Lord cannot! I will never give it to you!
Yamanaka Yukimori subconsciously walked back to the outside where Shiba Yoshigan was, and could still faintly hear the voice of the master inside, instructing the Kamao clan to do things.
