"So, what are your plans next?" Yu Qiuping remembered that Takenaka Shigeharu in history seemed to have returned the city to Saito Ryuuki after seizing the city, and he left the Saito family to live in seclusion.
"I will return the city to His Majesty Saito," Takenaka Shigeharu said softly as if nothing had happened. Sure enough, he made the same move as in history.
"What? You want to return Inabayama Castle?" Ikeda Hengxing was not very familiar with Takenaka Shigeharu, and he had never interrupted before, but after hearing this, he still couldn't help shouting: "Saito Ryuuki is not there?"
Fulfill your promise and release Momiji! Why are you returning Inabayama Castle! With Inabayama Castle, not to mention becoming the guardian of Mino, it is still easy to become the first tyrant of Mino!"
"Inabayama Castle is the key to Mino. With your ability as a Hanbei and your close relationship with the wealthy people of Nishi-Mino, you can rely on Inabayama Castle to achieve great results," Maeda Toshiie shook his head in confusion.
, "Why do you want to return him to Saito Ryuuki? Even if you really don't want to be the lord of the city, if you give this Inabayama Castle to our Oda family, my lord will definitely give you at least one hundred thousand koku of territory. Maybe
I promise you half of Meinong!"
"No," Takenaka Shigeharu shook his head resolutely, and then looked at Yu Qiuping, "Doing this goes against the bright and righteous principles in my heart."
"No matter how ridiculous my lord is, I, Takenaka Shigeharu, am still a subject of the Saito family. As a subject, it is against the righteousness of me to seize my lord's residence as my own through mutiny." Takenaka Shigeharu said in a low voice with some shame: "This is an example.
Once opened, there will be endless troubles. From then on, there will be no peace in Meinong. As long as any retainer is dissatisfied with the governor, his only thought is to kill everything."
"I captured Jucheng and united with the wealthy families of West Meinong, and administered benevolent policies to calm the people. Of course, Meinong can be peaceful for a while. But this is just an illusion of a cycle of chaos. Sooner or later, Meinong will have another person try to replace me and seize the rice from my hands.
Yeshan City, war broke out again."
"This is what Hongye taught me many years ago," Takenaka Shigeharu chuckled and slightly cupped his hands to Yu Qiuping, "The world won by dark means will eventually be overthrown by dark means again. The country will fall into
The endless cycle of chaos brings endless disasters to the people."
"Only by adhering to the bright and righteous principles and correcting the world with righteousness, can the world be long-term and peaceful." Takenaka Shigeharu said loudly and loudly: "So I will return the city to Saito Ryuuki and take this capture of the city as a lesson to him.
I hope he can reuse the talented retainers of the wealthy family, open up his voice, work hard to govern, and restrain himself."
"And I, as a retainer who has committed a serious crime, will resign from my post and retire from the government affairs of Meinong to show my repentance."
"I am admonishing my lord with this bright and righteous cause, to put an end to the source of the cycle of chaos, and to serve as a model for the world. If there are any more evil-minded people who try to use force to conquer Meinong, everyone in Meinong will take what I have done as a reference.
, attacked him in groups, forcing him to return to the city and retreat. In this way, no one will dare to seize power by force or start a war without permission, and the lives of Meinong will be safe. In this way, when the king is fatuous and incompetent, the heroes will not
We will no longer try to replace him, but will do our best to right the country."
This is my bright righteousness.

Three days later, after the Saito family's direct-controlled troops made peace with the Nishi Mino wealthy family, Takenaka Shigeharu also announced his retirement and returned Inabayama Castle to Saito Ryuuki. Each of the Nishi Mino wealthy families returned to their respective bases, and the Saito family's
The troops directly under the jurisdiction also returned to the barracks outside Inabayama Castle and into Kanana Castle. However, Saito Ryuuki did not know whether it was because he was too frightened or was showing his temper for the sake of face, and did not immediately return to Inabayama Castle. Mino's
Government affairs are temporarily handled by a joint meeting of ministers. The wealthy Higashi-Mino clan, who were originally dissatisfied with the West-Mino wealthy family for being domineering and arrogant about their lord, witnessed the Saito family's unauthorized attack on Ando Mamoru outside Inabayama Castle.
Fujilong Xing was extremely disappointed and sent people to join the joint meeting of important ministers.
On March 2nd, Yu Qiupei and his party left Inabayama Castle and returned to Owari. However, there was one more person in the team - Takenaka Shigeharu who had not originally planned to come to Owari.
"I can only say sorry to Nagamasa," Yu Qiuping, who was riding side by side with Takenaka Shigeharu, smiled, "You had agreed with him before to go to Omi to live in seclusion, but now you were tricked by me into coming to Owari.
.”
"Momiji was just kidding," Takenaka Shigeharu still didn't like the jokes like Uakihei, Maeda Toshiie, and Ikeda Tsuneaki, so he replied seriously: "Actually, I also considered it at first, and went to Owari to look for momiji after living in seclusion. But.
Because His Majesty Oda’s goal must be to attack Mino, and Momiji’s territory will bear the brunt. I don’t want to be an enemy of my old master, so I chose to go to Omi.”
"But the invitation extended to me by Rei Masato is really something I can't refuse." When Takenaka Shigeharu said this, he chuckled and cast his expectant eyes in the direction of Kuroda Castle in the south.
"It is an honor for our family," Yu Qiuping stroked Pipa's white mane, "It will be of great benefit to their growth to have you as a teacher for my two children."
For several days, Yu Qiuping tried hard to persuade Takenaka Shigeharu, who was about to leave the Saito family, to come to Yu Qiu's family to serve as an official. On the one hand, he valued his talent, and at the same time, he also hoped to have the opportunity to get along with this close friend day and night. However, Takenaka Shigeharu has always been disrespectful.
He was willing to be an enemy of his old master as a reason to decline Yu Qiuping's invitation. Just when Yu Qiuping was about to give up, Imagawa Kaede made an interesting suggestion - Takenaka Shigeharu does not need to serve as an official in Yu Qiu's family, but as a teacher to guide Yu.
Qiu Shang and Yu Qiuyou have two children. This really interested Takenaka Shigeharu, so he agreed.
"Madam, you are truly an extraordinary woman," Takenaka Shigeharu said sincerely to Yu Qiuping: "I had heard a little about Lingzheng giving birth to twins before. I didn't expect Lingzheng and Hongye to be so insistent and willing to risk
Even at the risk of causing disaster, I still have to raise both children. This love for my children really moved me."
"No, at that time Jingde kept asking to give up a child, and the doctor also said that Shang'er might not live long. I was a little shaken at the time, but Feng'er insisted on it." Yu Qiuping recalled that he once wanted to give up Yu.
Qiu Shang feels guilty inside. This is why he loves Yu Qiu Shang especially in his daily life - just to make up for the guilt in his heart.
"Is that crow..." Takenaka Shigeharu's face suddenly darkened when he heard this familiar name. When they first met, Takenaka Shigeharu and Amano Keitoku were quite at odds with each other. One of them was in the light, the other in the dark, and they almost walked towards each other.
An extreme.
"Listen to what Lingzheng said, did Hongye originally want to entrust the two children to the crow for instruction?" Takenaka Shigeharu asked coldly.
"That's right," Yu Qiuping saw Takenaka Shigeharu's unkind expression, and hurriedly smiled and smoothed things over: "Hanbei, you shouldn't have such a big opinion against Quanbei, that is, Jingtoku."
"I'm not at all worried about bringing my child to that dark crow," Takenaka Shigeharu said solemnly, "especially if I give him my eldest son who is the heir of the family."
Yu Qiuping looked at Takenaka Shigeharu's resolute look and sighed slightly. Takenaka Shigeharu is the kind of upright and aloof person who can't tolerate sand in his eyes, not to mention Amano Keitoku, a person who completely contradicts his ideas. It is estimated that the two of them are
Whenever they meet, they start to quarrel.
·
Sure enough, when Yu Qiuping took Takenaka Shigeharu to find Amano Keide and explained to him that Takenaka Shigeharu would also serve as Yu Qiu Shang and Yu Qiu Yu's teacher together with him, Amano Keide's face suddenly darkened.
"Your Highness," Amano Keitoku ignored Takenaka Shigeharu's cold gaze and looked directly at Yu Qiuping, "How can you be so hasty? Leave the eldest and second young masters to such a person? Do you think he will teach them to the two?
What is this young master?"
"Lord Amano, please be careful what you say." Takenaka Shigeharu frowned and whispered angrily, "I don't think that light and justice are not principles that children should learn."
"What's the use of being bright and righteous?" Amano Jingtoku shook his head disdainfully and said coldly: "This is the troubled times of the Warring States Period. Relying on benevolence, righteousness and kindness is of no use. Your Highness, you have not suffered enough here.
Is that much? Have you forgotten the tragedy at Yinma City?"
As soon as Amano Keide mentioned the words "Yinma City", Yu Qiuping's heart immediately twitched violently. He looked away, not daring to look directly into Amano Keide's angry eyes.
"Evil ghosts who have fallen into darkness will naturally not understand the light. What can adults teach children? Is it the dark killing again?" Takenaka Shigeharu also said coldly: "If a person's heart is full of darkness, what he has learned
It's all conspiracy and conspiracy, how terrible will it be when he takes power? In his eyes, the relatives and friends around him, the loyal retainers, and the people in the world are just sacrifices that can be swallowed up by interests. What is waiting for him is that everyone will betray their relatives and be punished by heaven.
An unacceptable ending.”
"Your Highness? Is it your intention to let him be your teacher?" Amano Kyoutoku ignored Takenaka Shigeharu at all and continued to say to Yu Qiuping: "Isn't your lesson enough? You should have abandoned the eldest son and eliminated the twins before.
You don't agree to the curse; you should have let the second young master succeed as the eldest son as the family governor, but you don't agree? Now you have found such a ridiculous person to teach your children? Do you plan to make the two young masters full of loyalty?
, a kind-hearted incompetent person, in the troubled times of the Warring States Period, was the Yuqiu family's family fortune swallowed up by the covetous enemy? Bright justice cannot protect the family fortune, only realistic and dark means can protect the Yuqiu family."
"In any case, I will never agree to hand over the two young masters to him." Amano Keitoku, who has always been taciturn, rarely said such a long list of words, which shows that his attitude towards this is extremely firm. Yu Qiuping was said by Amano Keitoku
He didn't dare to talk back, so he could only look in the other direction silently. He understood that Amano Keidei was right. Over the years, he gradually understood that kindness cannot be eaten. Without some means, without some conspiracy,
It can no longer stand in the troubled times of the Warring States Period.
After Yu Qiuping stopped talking, only Takenaka Shigeharu and Amano Keitoku were left standing in the corridor, looking at each other silently. Neither of them wavered at all. After a long time, Takenaka Shigeharu suddenly took a deep breath, and then
He said in a deep voice:
"Don't you, Amano-sama, have big opinions on the one-armed eldest son? Don't you think he can't be a qualified family governor?" Takenaka Shigeharu snorted coldly, "Okay then, I'll take care of the eldest son, and you can take care of the second son.
.I wonder what you think, Lord Amano?"
Amano Keitoku seemed to have expected that Takenaka Shigeharu would say such words, and was not surprised at all. He turned his gaze to Yu Qiuping and whispered: "As long as the lord agrees, I have no objection."
Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment, looked at the two people who were arguing so much, and smiled bitterly.
"Then let's do this for now." Yu Qiuping nodded helplessly. Both of them are very strong, stubborn and self-respecting. At this moment, no matter who they refuse or ask for orders such as taking turns to be teachers, it will hurt their hearts.
Anyway, Yu Qiuping felt that he had a lot of time to get along with the children, so that the children's personalities would not go to two extremes - he had not been affected by the teachers when he was young, and the development of his personality depended entirely on his parents. Since these two people
If you want to take them separately, then take them separately. It's not good for the two brothers to stay together all day.
·
Five days later in the morning, after Yu Qiu Shang and Yu Qiu Yu washed up under the care of Imagawa Kaede and A Suzu, they went to see Takenaka Shigeharu and Amano Keitoku as their teachers for the first time, and began their studies as disciples of the martial arts family.
Yu Qiu Shang followed Takenaka Shigeharu all the way to the corridor on the third floor of the castle tower. However, Takenaka Shigeharu remained silent. He just looked down from a high position and took Yu Qiu Shang to have a bird's eye view of the rich Onono land. After all, Yu Qiu Shang was just a child.
After holding it in for a long time, I couldn't help but ask: "Teacher, what are we going to learn on the first day? Are we going to learn to read?"
"No." Takenaka Shigeharu shook his head slightly. He turned around, bent down, and gently stroked Yu Qiu Shang's head.
"Three days in a row, bright and righteous."
·
At the same time, Amano Keidei also took Yu Qiuyou all the way to the prison in Kuroda City and sat down in front of a dark table. Along the way, Yu Qiuyou, who couldn't rest, kept chattering and asking questions.
Asking where Amano Keitoku was going, what he was going to learn today, what time he could eat and go back to play, etc., Amano Keitoku simply answered with a few words. After arriving in the prison, Amano Keitoku lit a dim lamp
The oil lamp was placed on the table.
"Master, what on earth do we want to learn?" Yu Qiuyou, who was a little irritated by the silent master, muttered dissatisfiedly.
Amano Jingde raised his head, looked at Yu Qiuyou, slowly raised his hand and put it on his shoulder.
"For three days in a row, there will be chaos first and then control."
