"Pass the young master." Yu Qiuping repeated his order without hesitation, "I believe in that child."
"Okay." Akechi Mitsuhide nodded, wrote down the first order on the paper, and then continued to ask, "Are there any other arrangements?"
"Who is with the army now? Are Hanbei, Gonbei and Kihei there?" Yu Qiupei asked Mitsuhide Akechi. He had been really out of touch with the outside world during the three months he had been in a coma.
"Master Takenaka is still in the army, and Master Amano and Master Sanada both rushed back to the territory to stabilize the situation years ago."
"Okay...after I die, let Hanbei lead the army back to Hanoi." When Yu Qiuping heard that Takenaka Shigeharu was still there, he not only let out a sigh of relief, but also relaxed suddenly.
"Where are your funeral arrangements?" When this word came up, Mitsuhide Akechi, who had always remained calm, couldn't help but wiped away tears. "What about your funeral arrangements..."
"Did my lord request that the funeral be kept secret?" Yu Qiuping remembered Oda Nobunaga's previous request not to disclose the news that he was seriously injured.
"Yes. My lord said that at least the news of your death will not be made public until Matsunagahide of Yamato and Araki Murashige of Settsu are pacified." Mitsuhide Akechi sighed and replied in a low voice.
"Okay, listen to my lord." Yu Qiuping is different from people of this era. He doesn't pay much attention to funerals. "The funeral should be simple and don't be too extravagant and wasteful."
"Well..." Akechi Mitsuhide nodded with tears in his eyes, "Do you want to send the coffin back to Hanoi?"
"Send it back." Yu Qiuping hesitated for a moment, but nodded, "Hang a sign for me in Fenglin Cemetery, east of Maple Leaf Mountain City."
"Is there anything else you would like to ask?" Mitsuhide Akechi choked up and tried to maintain his emotions, forcing himself to ask in a low voice.
"Within one year after my death, the Yuqiu family should not make any big moves. Let everyone adapt to the operation of my absence first. If Iwaya City and Iwaya Port cannot be defended, let the guards withdraw." Yu Qiuping
After a pause, he continued, "The Yuqiu family's system of separation of powers cannot be shaken no matter what. We must not infringe on the rights of Congress and the courts, and we must not attack Sakai Town and His Highness Hatakeyama. This is the ancestral precept I left behind.
, the heirs of the Yuqiu family must abide by it."
"Okay." Akechi Mitsuhide didn't ask any more questions and just silently recorded it on the paper.
"Shang'er is only 17 years old and is not sensible yet. When dealing with political affairs, don't let him have the final say alone. Let Yuqiu and the five soldiers form a collegial system of ministers. Every important matter must be voted by five people, and then Feng'er will make the decision.
"Yu Qiuping was still worried about Yu Qiu Shang's temperament and added an insurance policy for him, "If Wu Bingwei doesn't agree or Feng'er doesn't agree, he can't be allowed to do whatever he wants. When he grows up, Feng'er can't let him do whatever he wants.
Decide when to abolish the collegial system of ministers."
"I understand." Mitsuhide Akechi nodded, "Don't worry, I've seen that kid before, and he will be a great samurai in the future."
"Do you have any other instructions?" Akechi Mitsuhide saw that Yu Qiuping did not continue speaking, so he turned around and looked at him.
"There is one more thing..." Yu Qiuping hesitated for a long time, and finally struggled to speak, "This will is a secret and does not need to be disclosed to the retainers. You only need to transfer it to Feng'er. Be sure not to leak it."
"Momiji, please speak." Akechi Mitsuhide turned around very solemnly upon hearing this, straightened his somewhat disheveled hair, and whispered respectfully.
"Let Feng'er decide... When Shang'er grows up, I can tell him my secret and then show him the "Future Outline". But no matter what, I must ask him to continue to implement my "Nuwa Plan"." Yu.
Qiu Ping spoke in a deep voice, his words even more determined than when he just announced that Yu Qiu Shang would succeed him.
Akechi Mitsuhide was stunned for a moment, but she, who was always sensible, did not ask any questions about Yu Qiuping's strange death. She just silently recorded it and showed it to Yu Qiuping again.
"If there is no problem, you can come and sign it." Akechi Mitsuhide handed the pen to Yu Qiuping, "I am an outsider after all. Such an important will must be signed by yourself."
"Okay." Yu Qiuping tried his best to move his wrist, reluctantly wrote his name on the paper, and was about to put a fingerprint on the ink pad. At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded in the corridor.
·
"What's the matter?" Mitsuhide Akechi asked in a strained, male-like voice as he walked to the inner room to change clothes.
"Your Highness, there is a witch who asked to see you. She said she can cure His Highness's illness." The maid outside the door reported with some joy, "He is waiting for you outside. Do you want to bring him in?"
"Really?" Akechi Mitsuhide was so surprised that his voice changed slightly when he heard this, "Please invite him in quickly."
However, Yu Qiuping didn't have much hope for this. He knew his own body well, and he probably wouldn't live long in his current condition. He didn't believe in the so-called medicine made from the bones of the dead - it sounded like
It's a metaphysical statement from a charlatan. How can it possibly cure the disease? And hiring a witch is even more ridiculous - can the disease be cured by doing something like that?
After a while, a woman wearing a red and white witch costume was brought in. Yu Qiuping looked at her and saw that she was a rather unique little girl. However, she did not stand upright like other witches.
She has waist-length hair, but actually has her hair cut short - this is a rare attire for a miko.
"My little girl Kinomoto, I have met His Highness Hinata and His Highness Jibu." Kinomoto bowed respectfully and said softly to Akechi Mitsuhide and Yu Qiupei, "I came here this time to offer the antidote."
"Do you have the antidote?" Mitsuhide Akechi thought that the witch came here to use witchcraft to cure the disease, but unexpectedly she came with medicine.
"Yes." Kinomoto Ning took out a small box from his arms and opened it some distance away from Akechi Mitsuhide. There was a small black pill inside, "This is the antidote."
"How do you prove that this is the antidote? It won't be poisonous, right?" Yu Qiuping had just been severely plotted by Miyoshi Yoshihide and Hosokawa Shinyuki. Now seeing that everyone suspected that they were here to assassinate him, he couldn't help but feel low.
asked in a voice.
"Can it be cured if it can't be cured? Your Highness is already dying anyway. There's no point in poisoning you. Just try your luck. Anyway, if you don't take this medicine, His Highness will not be cured in a few days.
Either way, it's death?" The miko spread her hands and replied helplessly. Kinomoto Ning was not afraid of anything, and dared to say anything. Her presumptuous words made Akechi Mitsuhide turn pale with anger, and Yu Qiuping was amused by her.
.
"Okay, then at least you have to tell me why this medicine can cure my disease?" Yu Qiuping signaled to Akechi Mitsuhide not to be angry, and winked at Kinomoto Ning.
"The poison that His Highness was poisoned by is a poison from the four countries. Only the ninjas of Miyoshi Mikyu possess this poison. There is only one way to detoxify it - use the bones of people who have been poisoned for more than three years and a variety of medicinal materials to make a pill.
Just take the elixir before you die from the poison." Kinomoto Ning replied swornly - her statement was the same as that of the old man in the world, which made Yu Qiuping a little surprised - is it true? What is in it?
What's the principle? Antibodies? Or what?
"You said that this elixir of yours was made from the bones of people who were poisoned?" Mitsuhide Akechi looked in disbelief as they watched in disbelief that the antidote they had tried so hard to find was actually praised by a witch.
When we got here, "Where did you find the bones? How are you sure he was poisoned?"
"From Okazaki Shrine in Kyoto." The shrine maiden replied truthfully, "An expert has confirmed it, so there is no need for your Highness to worry."
"Whose bones are these?" Akechi Mitsuhide asked even more surprised after hearing the name of Okazaki Shrine.
"The late puppet general Ashikaga Yoshiei."
·
After Kinomoto Nei's words were spoken, Yu Qiupei immediately reacted - that was the story of the Kyoto War almost ten years ago. Miyoshi Yoshiken poisoned Ashikaga Yoshie, but lied that Ashikaga Yoshie died of a serious illness, and lost
The Miyoshi family who held the banner had no choice but to retreat, thereby inducing the coalition forces to pursue the Miyoshi army without doubt. The bones of Ashikaga Yoshiteru buried in Okazaki Shrine were dug up by Ashikaga Yoshiteru's public servants, and happened to be buried by Akihei Uchiha and Uchiha Aooka.
They bumped into him and found that he had been poisoned to death. Only then did Yu Qiuping realize that the retreat of the Miyoshi family might be a trap, and hurriedly led his troops to Nanzen Temple. Only then did the Miyoshi army's massive counterattack save the coalition's retreat.
After that, Yu Qiupei stopped paying attention to the whereabouts of Ashikaga Yoshie's body. But if Ashikaga Yoshie was really poisoned to death by Miyoshi Yoshihide - Miyoshi Yoshihide would definitely use the best of his own skills to deal with such an important matter.
Reliable poison to ensure nothing goes wrong - the poison used by Miyoshi Yixian is likely to be the poison used to assassinate Yu Qiuping...
"Did you think of it?" Yu Qiuping had to be shocked by the careful thinking of this witch. As a witness to the incident, Yu Qiuping was not aware of this possibility at all. There are countless capable people in Yu Qiu's family, and in order to save Yu Qiuping, he went to great lengths to save her.
I've been asking about people who died of poisoning, but I haven't even thought of this connection.
"No." The witch was honest and shook her head simply, "There are experts behind the scenes. Your Highness doesn't need to ask any more questions. Just take the medicine quickly."
"Okay." Yu Qiuping nodded after hearing this. Mitsuhide Akechi immediately took the elixir from the witch's hand and handed it to Yu Qiuping along with a glass of water. Yu Qiuping put the elixir into his mouth - OK
Bitter! He hurriedly swallowed the elixir with a gulp of water. After about a quarter of an hour, the elixir began to take effect. Yu Qiuping felt that his internal organs were burning. He was sweating profusely and his nasal cavity was constantly
Purple-black blood gushed out.
"It's effective. Your Highness, don't panic. This is detoxification." Kinomoto Ning smiled and nodded, watching Akechi Mitsuhide anxiously wipe Yu Qiupei with a towel, "After that, you can rest for a few days and you can recover. Although this poison
It's powerful, but it goes away quickly. In order to prove that the elixir is not poisonous, the little girl will be a hostage here until His Highness is fine. I hope that His Highness Zhibu, who has always promised a lot of money, can make a promise to the little girl and let her go after she recovers.
"
"That's natural. How can I repay a life-saving favor?" Yu Qiuping coughed up blood and replied with a smile, "This is really a life-saving..."
