Some families are happy and some are sad. While the Yuqiu family celebrates the New Year, the Tokugawa family's New Year is not so harmonious. Tokugawa Ieyasu himself had long moved to the distant riverside of Matsushima, and his eldest son Tokugawa Nobuyasu and his wife built a
Yamadono (Sena Princess) stayed in Mikawa Okazaki Castle. The situation was also tense, but the situation in Okazaki Castle was tense.
"Why hasn't Nobuyasu come yet?" At the New Year's Eve banquet, Oda Gotoku and a group of retainers who stayed at Okazaki Castle had been waiting for a long time. Even the dishes were almost cold, but Tokugawa Nobuyasu was nowhere to be seen.
"Just wait for a while, why are you so angry? A woman's family must abide by the rules of a woman." Mrs. Tsukuyama saw that her daughter-in-law called Tokugawa Nobuyasu by his first name in front of so many people, and she didn't include it in her words.
Honorific, he reminded dissatisfiedly.
"What do you mean?" Oda Gotoku was not polite to Tokugawa Nobuyasu, let alone his mother-in-law, who had deep grudges with him. "Is it your turn, a woman from the Imagawa family, to point fingers at the people of the Oda family?"
"You!" Mrs. Tsukuyama was furious when she heard this, but she also knew that Oda Gotoku had a backer, so even though she was dissatisfied, she still reluctantly tolerated it.
"Ma'am, please calm down." Seeing this, Tadashi Sakai hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground to smooth things over, "I'll go and invite the young master over now!"
"You don't need to invite me, I'll go by myself!" Oda Gotoku stood up from his seat and poured the soup in front of him, "I want to see what he is doing!"
Mrs. Tsukuyama was furious when she saw Oda Gotoku making a mess at the banquet. She walked away without saying a word and chased Oda Gotoku. All the retainers of the Tokugawa family looked at each other and sat there not knowing what to do.
Is good.
Oda Gotoku was young after all, and ran towards Tokugawa Nobuyasu's room with his maid Fengfenghuohuo, and Mrs. Tsukuyama could not catch up. Oda Gotoku walked to the door of the room, vaguely heard the words in the room, and instantly became angry.
, kicked the door open with one kick. I saw Tokugawa Nobuyasu half-naked, flirting with a maid on the couch. The maid was leaning her head on Tokugawa Nobuyasu's body, licking Tokugawa Nobuyasu's chest with her fragrant tongue.
"You!" Oda Gotoku was so angry that he took off the bracelet in his hand and threw it at Tokugawa Nobuyasu. The bracelet did not hit Tokugawa Nobuyasu, but hit the maid on the head. The maid was suddenly hit.
It hurt, and I huddled into Tokugawa Nobuyasu's bed in grievance.
"What do you mean?" Tokugawa Nobuyasu was a little apologetic when he was first discovered, but when he saw Oda Gotoku being so rude and rude, he was immediately annoyed. He lifted up the quilt and climbed out without even wearing any clothes.
He stood up, pointed at Oda Gotoku's nose and shouted, "What are you throwing? How many times have I told you not to throw things away!"
"Should I tell you this again now?" Oda Gotoku laughed angrily, pointed at the maid under Tokugawa Nobuyasu's bed and cursed loudly, "What's going on with that bitch? You won't come to the New Year's Eve dinner.
Eat, hide under the covers and flirt with a bitch?”
"What's wrong? Can't my noble young master of the Tokugawa family have a maid to warm his bed?" Tokugawa Nobuyasu retorted in a sarcastic tone.
"You are a Tokugawa family? Who are you, a Tokugawa family? How can I, the princess of the Oda family, be so angry with you?" Oda Gotoku bluntly stated the taboo between the two of them, "Believe me or not.
File a complaint against Jiayan! I want you to look good!"
"The Oda family is so amazing, the Oda family is on our lips every day!" Tokugawa Nobuyasu was shocked and furious when he heard this, and shouted in Oda Gotoku's face, "Don't mention the Oda family again! You look down on people.
?"
At this moment, Mrs. Tsukiyama finally arrived at the door. The loud quarrel in the room just now told her what was going on inside. She was still worried, and hurriedly stepped forward to separate Oda Gotoku and Tokugawa Nobuyasu.
But he was pushed away by the angry Oda Gotoku.
"What are you doing? What are you doing to my mother?" Tokugawa Nobuyasu suddenly became anxious. He stepped forward and pushed Oda Gotoku onto the tatami. Oda Gotoku fell heavily.
Feeling hurt and aggrieved, I cried "Wow" and kept talking about going back to my parents' home to file a complaint.
"I'm so annoyed. Is this even remotely like a wife? Which samurai wife dares to make such a fuss at home?" Seeing Oda Gotoku start to cry, Tokugawa Nobuyasu instantly lost his temper in annoyance, and there was only one left in his heart.
All he could feel was annoyance, and he cursed and said, "You are crying, and you always use your master's family to oppress others! How do you live this life? Does my useless husband still look like a Mikawa man? I'm afraid I will become the laughing stock of Okazaki Castle.
Alright?"
At this moment, the maid who had been huddled under the quilt quietly poked her head out, and met Oda Gotoku's eyes. Oda Gotoku was stunned for a moment, and he immediately recognized the maid.
"Isn't that a maid from Shinano that you took in?" Oda Gotoku stood up instantly, glared at Mrs. Tsukuyama and asked, "Isn't that your maid? Why is she appearing in Nobuyasu's bed now? You are like this
As a mother, you behave in an awkward manner on behalf of your son?"
"Do you still need to take care of the young master of the Tokugawa family when he takes concubines? As a mother, I can keep my word." After being kicked in the nose and face by Oda Gotoku, and the words he said were so unpleasant, Mrs. Tsukuyama also
Unable to bear it anymore, he raised his voice and protested.
"Then you find a woman from the Takeda family to come over? I think you are colluding with the Takeda family!" Oda Gotoku was also annoyed and cursed uncontrollably.
"Yes, how about I have an affair with the Takeda family?" Mrs. Tsukuyama was completely irritated by Oda Gotoku's attitude and began to quarrel nonsense, "You know day by day that the Oda family relies on your back.
Bullying! Aren't the Odas just like insects in front of the Takedas? If it hadn't been for Amaki Momiji, our old minister of the Imagawa family, who destroyed the Takedas in Mikaka Town, your Odas would have been wiped out long ago! Why are you so domineering all day long?
"
"You old woman!" Oda Gotoku cursed through gritted teeth, and then said to the maid beside him, "A Miao, go and dig out that bitch from under the covers!"
The maid who was called Ami walked toward the bed after hearing this. The maid in the bed was so frightened that she started crying. Tokugawa Nobuyasu suddenly felt ashamed. If this matter spread, how would he see anyone in the future? So,
He took a step forward, stopped in front of A Miao, and said loudly, "Stop, I! Don't touch her! Your master has been unable to give birth to a son for so many years, why don't you let me continue the family line?"
"You are still protecting that bitch now? You don't even come to our New Year's Eve dinner because of that bitch?" Oda Ohtoku was so angry that he shouted hysterically, "Adulter and adulteress! A Miao, put that bitch to death
Find them out!"
Amiu was also the maid brought by Oda Gotoku from the Oda family. She was as arrogant as Oda Gotoku on weekdays. She was not afraid of the threat of Tokugawa Nobuyasu at all. She forced her way past, grabbed the maid's hair and pulled her outside.
Tokugawa Nobuyasu couldn't bear it anymore, so he rushed up and kicked Ami away. Tokugawa Nobuyasu's kick was really strong. How could Amiu, a woman, be able to withstand it? She was kicked away, and her head just happened to be mounted on Tiezuo's dressing gown.
There was a "bang" sound at the edge of the stage. Immediately afterwards, he lay motionless on the ground, with blood trickling out from his temples.
Oda Gotoku was so frightened that he fell to the ground, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably.

On January 3, the seventh year of Tensho (1579), Sakai Chuji was suddenly called to her room by Oda Gotoku. Sakai Chuji was already facing a formidable enemy at the door - all the retainers were aware of the major events that had happened at home in the past few days.
Got it. Tokugawa Nobuyasu was flirting with a maid from Shinano during the New Year's Eve dinner, and was caught by Oda Gotoku. After a conflict broke out between the two, Tokugawa Nobuyasu accidentally brought Oda Gotoku from the Oda family.
The maid he had grown up with and was his friend was killed.
Things have gotten serious, and there has been no peace in the Okazaki Castle castle these past few days. Oda Gotoku was breaking things in the house every day, and was scolding Mrs. Tsukiyama and Tokugawa Nobuyasu. He finally calmed down for a while today, but
Suddenly, Sakai Chuji was called over.
"I leave this letter to you. Take it to Azuchi and give it to Iegan." Oda Gotoku handed a sealed letter to Sakai Tadashi. "You are not allowed to open the seal. Give it directly to Iegan."
"Yes, ma'am." This is not the first time that Sakai Tadashi has undertaken this kind of task. Oda Gotoku would complain to the family when he had conflicts with Tokugawa Nobuyasu and Mrs. Tsukuyama. This arrogant princess of the Oda family is quite arrogant.
This trivial matter would require Tadashi Sakai, an important minister of the Tokugawa family, to go there in person. However, Tadashi Sakai did not dare to complain at all, and just obeyed it honestly. As for this letter, Oda Gotoku did not mention it, Tadashi Sakai
He didn't dare to open it. How could he dare to open the princess's family letters in private? Anyway, it is an annoying little thing among women, and it will probably be resolved soon.
However, Tadashi Sakai was wrong.
·
After he came to the outside of Azuchi Castle Castle and handed the letter to the Kamao clan at the door, he thought he would be able to leave soon with Oda Nobunaga's reply. However, the situation in front of him made him confused.
The angry Oda Nobunaga personally rushed out with a group of guards and threw the letter in Sakai Tadashi's face.
"Do you know what is written in the letter?" Oda Nobunaga asked in a huff.
"I don't know." Tadashi Sakai didn't dare to get up and kowtowed in a hurry to apologize.
"Then go and watch!" Oda Nobunaga cursed loudly again.
"It seems like things are getting serious this time." Sakai Tadashi groaned inwardly, while he hurriedly picked up the letter that fell in front of him.
However, the matter was many times more serious than the worst situation he could have imagined.
The first few items in the letter were pretty good, most of them were complaining about Mrs. Tsukuyama's instigating the relationship between husband and wife; or that Mrs. Tsukuyama and Tokugawa Nobuyasu looked down upon them and could only have a daughter; Mrs. Tsukuyama and Tokugawa Nobuyasu were living in Okazaki Castle, drinking and behaving in a perverse way;
Tokugawa Nobuyasu took indiscreet concubines and so on.
However, the further he looked down, the more frightened Sakai Chuji became.
Oda Gotoku said in his heart that Tokugawa Nobuyasu threatened to beat him to death, so he beat his maid to death first; he also said that Mrs. Tsukuyama asked Takeda Katsuyori to find him a wife after destroying the Tokugawa family.
My husband, Katsuyori Takeda, also recommended a man named Oyamada.
What is all this... Sakai Chuji felt like his whole body was trembling when he saw it.
Until he saw the last few lines of words——
Chapter completed!
