Yiyin glanced at the two silent old foxes in the audience. His words were actually used to silence them.
What is so difficult to deal with Terutora Uesugi? Just act cute and call Uesugi-sama a few times. It would be easy to save Hojo Sanniang's life with a soft push and a half push from her bones.
Even if Uesugi Kenmasa meets again, he will still be a has-been internet celebrity with no power. Nothing compares to the joys, sorrows and joys of his sweetheart, Yoshigan Shiba.
However, if Shiba Yiyin does not give a reasonable explanation, the following Wu family will definitely be dissatisfied.
After all, Uesugi Kenmasa is the former governor of the Yamauchi Uesugi family, and there is no guarantee that she will be needed someday. Why bother with her because of a scoundrel of the Hojo family?
Therefore, if Yoshigan wanted to save the child's life, he had to give a suitable reason that would be recognized by the Echigo samurai group and leave Uesugi Kenmasa speechless.
He said solemnly.
"The Yamauchi Uesugi family has great influence, so Hojo Ujiyasu came up with the plan to exterminate the family once and for all.
But because she did so harshly, His Highness Kenmasa Uesugi had no possibility of compromise, so she came to Echigo country and gave all her family names and positions to the Nagao family in the mansion, just to seek revenge.
Just imagine, if Hojo Ujiyasu leaves some room to prevent the descendants of the Yamauchi Uesugi family from becoming extinct, will His Highness Kenmasa Uesugi still come to Echigo?
You know, the Fuchu Nagao family was the Echigo guardian branch that destroyed the Yamauchi Uesugi family, and the hatred between the two families was not small.
She is willing to come only because Hojo Ujiyasu was too decisive and forced her to have no way out."
Uesugi Teruhora's face turned red when he heard this. The Nagao family in the Fuchu family overcame the superiors, and the bad things they did were not much better than those of Hojo Ujiyasu.
It was only because everyone had selectively forgotten the original dispute that Uesugi Teruhora was able to righteously criticize here. Yoshigan Shiba used this as an analogy, leaving her speechless for a moment.
She said sarcastically.
"What Mr. Kenshin said is reasonable, but what does it have to do with my handling of Hojo Sanniang?"
Yiyin is on the right track.
"Of course it does matter.
Although the Ise woman pretended to be the Hojo Miaoji, she was not a humble and unknown person, but a pawn sent by the shogunate to deal with the Kamakura Ashikaga family.
The Ise girl was from the Ise Taira clan, and she was very talented. Three generations of the Hojo family worked hard to occupy the two countries of Izu and Sagami, and worked hard to govern. One family was united, and the retainers were stable.
May I ask His Highness Uesugi, do you think such an opponent needs to go all out to deal with it?"
Teruhora Uesugi nodded in approval, and the two important ministers also kowtowed slightly in agreement.
Shiba Yiyin glanced at Hojo Sanniang and continued.
“Knowing that your opponent is powerful, you must respect your opponent and understand your opponent so that you can defeat your opponent.
Since ancient times, fortresses have often not been breached from the outside. Most of the time, they collapsed due to internal disagreements under external pressure.
The Hojo family is so united, but we still want to kill her little girl who has no ability to resist. Does this give them more reasons to unite and fight us wholeheartedly?"
Terutora Uesugi was stunned for a moment, looked back at the tearful Hojo Sanniang, and said hesitantly.
"Does Mr. Kenshin mean that if I kill this child, the Hojo family will think that there is no room for compromise and negotiation with me, and they will have to fight to the end?"
Yiyin nodded.
"good."
Terutora Uesugi smiled bitterly.
"But the Yamauchi Uesugi family and the Hojo family have long since run out of room for compromise. Kill me or not, the Hojo family will fight me to the bitter end."
Yiyin shook his head and said.
"Your Highness Uesugi, you are not His Highness Kenmasa Uesugi after all. There is no question of genocide, and the Hojo family may not leave a thought.
Even if the two sides are indeed incompatible, it does not mean that we cannot divide the Hojo family. As long as we are a samurai family, we cannot be monolithic, and there will always be times when disagreements arise.
When we keep Hojo Sanniang, we are leaving a memory for the Hojo family. This is no loss to us, but it gives us an opportunity, so why not take it?"
Teruhora Uesugi couldn't help but fell into deep thought. Naoe Keetsuna came out and bowed and asked.
"Naoe Keetsuna admires the imperial office for its foresight and foresight. Just leaving the child alive doesn't seem to have any impact on the Hojo family?
She is just an ignorant child and has no close confidants within the Hojo family. What benefits can she bring to us, and how can she divide the Hojo family?"
Shiba Yoshigan smiled, glanced at Uesugi Teruhu who was thinking about the pros and cons, and said.
"It all depends on how broad-minded His Highness Uesugi is."
Terutora Uesugi raised his head and smiled.
"If Mr. Qianxin has any good ideas, just tell him."
Yi Yin pointed at Hojo Sanniang with his finger.
"Adopt her as your adopted daughter."
The three girls present were stunned at the same time, and then nodded in praise. Yoshigan Shiba's move was so slap in the face, and when Hojo Ujiyasu found out, he didn't know what to think.
Hojo Uyasu regarded his young daughter as an abandoned child and sent him to the Numata family to succeed him as the family governor.
In the tradition of the samurai family, this child is already Numata Sanniang, not Hojo Sanniang. The relationship with the Hojo family is nominally severed.
But the Hojo family's move was actually to treat the Numata retainers like monkeys, hoping to make them work hard and sneak away with their children.
But due to bad luck, the child was blocked in Numata Castle and sent to Echigo.
If this child is killed, Hojo Ujiyasu can still cry bitterly and show it to the retainers. I am still determined to destroy the Uesugi family, so everyone can only fight against Uesugi Teruhora with the same hatred. There is no other way.
The death of a daughter has boosted the unity and morale within the Hojo family, so it can be considered that his death was not in vain.
But if he had followed Yoshigan Shiba's idea, Hojo Ujiyasu wouldn't even be able to cry.
Nominally, the child is Numata Sanniang, adopted as an adopted daughter by Uesugi Terutora, and has nothing to do with the Hojo family. But no one in the Hojo family knows that this child is the heir of Hojo Ujiyasu.
It would be fine if the war goes well, but if there is a setback, it will be a time bomb that stirs up the Hojo family.
Even Uesugi Terutora, the heir of Hojo Ujiyasu, was spared. What kind of hatred could the others have? Do they need to fight to the death?
The most important thing for the Wu family is their own small family. The Hojo family has been through three generations, and the relationship within the family is no longer as simple as it was when they started their business.
As long as Uesugi Teruhora can show an inclusive mind, the Hojo family will show its decline during the war in the future, and the Hojo Sanniang will be a sharp blade that tears apart the internal unity of the Hojo family.
Teruhora Uesugi thought about it over and over again, and suddenly became more pleased with the frightened female doll.
After all, she was not Uesugi Kensei. The entire Uesugi family in Yamauchi was dead, so she did her dirty work. Besides, if Uesugi Kensei's family hadn't been dead, she wouldn't have been the governor of the family, and she wouldn't be as successful as she is today.
Thinking about it this way, Shiba Yiyin's idea is really a good idea!
Uesugi Teruhora glanced at Naoe Keetsuna, and she slowly nodded in agreement. Naoe Keetsuna also judged that this matter was profitable, and the Uesugi retainers group should support it.
