Volume 7 Jiangnan Green Looking Maple Red Chapter 996 Concealment
At the same time, late at night on June 7, the tenth year of Tensho (1582), in Maple Leaf Mountain Castle, in the Sanada family’s mansion.
Sanada Masayuki was still reviewing the intelligence sent from all over the territory in front of the oil lamp, speculating on the situation facing Yuqiu's family. This week, it was his two children's turn to work the night shift in the castle tower, and they would not go back to the mansion to eat and sleep at night.
, Sanada Masayuki had a very simple dinner. At this point, he was actually a little hungry. Just when he got up and wanted to call the servant to bring some snacks, there was a knock on the door.
"Sir." The servant who came to report whispered to Sanada Masayuki, "Sir Amano, please see me."
Sanada Masayuki calmly put down his pen and quietly gestured to the servant. The servant understood Sanada Masayuki's gesture and nodded knowingly.
"Please come in, Amano-sama." Sanada Masayuki then greeted in a tired voice, "It's late at night, please don't leave your Excellency outside the door."
Not long after, Amano Keitoku was led by a servant to the living room, where Sanada Masayuki was already waiting.
"Why bother pretending?" Amano Kyoude shook his head and said as he sat down, "You know I have an informant in your house, and I also know that you know about it, so I don't even expect to eavesdrop.
What are you doing? There must be a lot of people ambushing you around the living room right now, so why bother? Since I dare to come alone, I naturally have no intention of harming you, Sanada-sama."
"I'm afraid only Mr. Amano knows whether he has such a plan. And Mr. Amano's heart is the most difficult thing to predict in the Yuqiu family." Sanada Masaki raised his eyebrows with a smile, and then asked Amano
Jingde poured a cup of tea, "What does Mr. Amano mean by visiting late at night at such a sensitive time?"
"Coup." Amano Keitoku replied very briefly and directly, "Remove the eldest son and install the second son."
When Amano Keitoku spoke, even Sanada Masayuki, who had been mentally prepared for a long time, was stunned. After being stunned for a moment, Sanada Masayuki shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Last time, Amano-sama knew how to retreat, but this time he even
Do you care about the ninjas I am ambushing outside the hall?"
"It's not necessary, they are all your confidants, and they will be involved in this matter anyway." Amano Keide picked up the tea nonchalantly and took a big sip without any precautions.
"Master Amano, what do you mean by this? Why do you say it as if I am already your accomplice?" Sanada Masayuki's expression darkened when he heard this, and he glared at Amano Keitoku and scolded him in a low voice.
"You will be soon." Amano Kyoude remained calm and calm, and put down the tea cup unhurriedly.
"The First Master has been so kind to me, so how could I collude with outsiders to overthrow the Yuqiu family?" Sanada Masayuki sneered twice, then raised his hand to signal, "If Amano-sama can't give me any explanation,
, come with me to the castle tower."
"Do you really think that the eldest son can protect the Yuqiu family?" Amano Keide didn't care about Sanada Masayuki's threat at all, but asked at his own pace, "Or do you have confidence in him and think he can
Using the Yuqiu family against the whole world? His disobedience has already caused the Oda Palace to lose its face. Even if I don't take action, the Oda Palace will definitely order an intervention in the succession of the family governor and let the second son succeed. By then, Yuqiu will
If the family refuses to obey, they will face a crusade from the entire Oda army, and may even be destroyed.
The family is worried. Sanada-sama, do you want to watch this day come?"
"The matter will not be so serious. As long as there is more negotiation, there will be room for maneuver. How could the Oda Palace rashly confront the most important minister in his family? At present, the Oda Palace does not recognize His Highness as the governor of the family.
Besides, didn't he take any more drastic actions? The situation has not deteriorated to the point of death." Sanada Masayuki shook his head, but slowly lowered his raised hand.
"But I have just pushed the situation to the point of no end." Amano Keitoku sneered again and again. As he said this, he took out the replies from Oda Nobunaga and Amakiyu and handed them to Sanada Masayuki.
Before your visit, I have written to the Oda Palace, asking him to send the second young master to Maple Leaf Mountain City to succeed the family governor. The Oda Palace has agreed, and I guess the second young master is already on the way. Tomorrow, when the second young master arrives with his troops,
Crow's ninjas will cover him to seize the city and drive the eldest son out of power."
Sanada Masayuki's hand shook slightly when he took the letter. He opened the envelope and started to read the letter, but he became more and more frightened. He couldn't help but scolded in a deep voice: "This is a coup... How could you do such a thing without authorization? You have
Have you reported to Madam and His Highness?"
"Does the coup still need to be reported to the rightful owner?" Amano Keitoku joked in a sarcastic tone. Only then did the shocked Sanada Masayuki come back to his senses and realize what is happening now - it is no longer the Yuqiu family.
How to communicate with the Oda family and let the Oda family accept the Yuqiu family's refusal to restore the ancient system. Under the push of Amano Keitoku, the Oda family has already started to interfere in the succession of the Yuqiu family's family governor and wants to send troops to support Yuqiu Yu's ascension to the throne.
The battle for the governor of the Yuqiu family is about to break out.
"It's useless to talk more, Amano-sama. No matter how powerful the crow is, you are now in my mansion. I will take you to the castle tower and report your plan truthfully." Sanada Masayuki stood up without hesitation.
He stood up and clapped his hands. Immediately, countless ninjas poured into the room and surrounded Amano Keitoku with their shining blades.
"You can't escape." Amano Keide replied calmly without even looking at the kunai that was already around his neck.
"I am a loyal minister of the Yuqiu family, not a treacherous minister. The former master really misjudged you, so he trusts you so much..." Sanada Masayuuki said seriously, but was suddenly interrupted by Amano Keitoku:
"If you are a loyal minister, you should support the second young master. Only the second young master can protect the Yuqiu family."
“There is no objection to arguing these…”
"There is indeed no objection." Amano Keide interrupted Sanada Masayuki again, and then said in a cold voice, "But the current situation is very clear. In any case, the split of the Yuqiu family is inevitable. What is before you
It is a battle for the governor of the family. The eldest son has the recognition of the family and the support of the army, while the second son, as the son-in-law of the Oda family, has a huge backing from the master's family. This is such a classic situation of two sons fighting, and it has happened throughout the ages.
We have fought countless similar battles. The second young master will arrive tomorrow. Whether to support the eldest young master or the second young master, everyone in the Yuqiu family will have to make a decision by then, and you, Sanada-sama, are no exception."
"I support the eldest son. This is also the last wish of the late master." Sanada Masayuki shook his head unmoved.
"Sanada-sama is no longer a young child, so he doesn't understand that fighting for the power of the family governor is a matter of course.
What does the war mean?" Amano Keide sighed lightly, "It's not as simple as who wins. For a brand-new family like the Yuqiu family, the winner will definitely cleanse the loser thoroughly to stabilize its foundation.
Mr. Sanada, have you ever thought that if the second son wins, he will let you, the director of the Military Intelligence Department, and your two sons who serve as the eldest son’s trusted bodyguards go free? Will there be anyone left in the Sanada family alive? Or does it?
Tell me, do you think that the eldest son who has no soldiers and no status will definitely be able to defeat the second son who has the support of the Oda Hall?"
Sanada Masayuki was speechless for a moment and couldn't even say a word.
"No matter what, as the eldest son's bodyguards, your two sons will definitely follow him." Amano Keide removed the kunai from his neck, stood up slowly, and looked at the Sanada Masayuki ninjas.
Under his gaze, he walked up to Masayuki Sanada and said in a low voice, "Well, as a father, it's already clear which side you should choose to stand on now. If you don't think about others, you should also find a way out for the Sanada family yourself.
.”
"I am a loyal minister of the Yuqiu family, and the first master has treated me with great kindness..." Sanada Masayuki gritted his teeth and wanted to struggle, but was interrupted mercilessly by Amano Keitoku: "Yes, you are a loyal minister of the Yuqiu family.
, then shouldn’t you be more loyal to the Yuqiu family for the survival of the Yuqiu family? At the moment, should you support the eldest son who has repeatedly disobeyed and acted willfully to protect the Yuqiu family? Or should you support the Oda-dian who knows the current affairs and understands the general situation?
Don’t you understand, Mr. Sanada, that the son-in-law’s second son-in-law is better able to protect the Yuqiu family? It is the former master who is kind to us, not the current eldest son! Only by protecting the Yuqiu family for the former master can we fulfill our duty as retainers.
Responsibility."
Sanada Masayuki lowered his head and was speechless for a long time. After a long while, he finally raised his head with a wry smile. Looking at Amano Keitoku's ancient and unwavering face surrounded by his own ninjas, he slowly raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.
, murmured as if admitting defeat: "It's public and private, there's no way to escape."
"Choose wisely." Amano Keitoku nodded slightly, without any unexpected emotions, "No matter which one wins, the eldest son or the second son, the Sanada family can be preserved. As long as the winner intercedes, the other's life will still be saved.
No problem. In order to save your two sons, you have to choose this side."
"What do you need from me, Lord Amano?" Sanada Masayuki waved his hand, signaling the ninjas to put down their weapons.
"You and I control the Yuqiu family's internal and external ears and eyes and all the ninjas, and together we will be invincible in terms of intelligence. We only need to do a few things, and we can support the second son in power with as little bloodshed as possible.
, to preserve the power of the Yuqiu family." Amano Jingde raised his hand and raised four fingers in sequence.
"First, conceal the news that the Second Young Master is coming with his army."
"Second, conceal all news about the coup taking place at home from the Hongye Army in Beizhong and prevent them from returning for reinforcements. Wait until the deal is done and then notify them to pledge their allegiance to the Second Young Master."
"Third, falsely convey military information to transfer Nirvana Bei from Maple Leaf Mountain City."
"Fourth, assist the second young master in taking control of the city when he arrives, and capture the eldest young master and his wife."
"Isn't there a fifth item?" Sanada Masayuki looked at Amano Keitoku's thumbs-up that did not give a thumbs up.
"Four pieces are enough." Amano Keide said in a low voice.
