Matsunaga nodded and smiled lovingly.
"Then go, but you must keep it in mind. When you are with the Lord, you must try your best to ease the relationship between her and the three good people.
But if the conflict between the two parties is acute and irresolvable, you must stand firmly on the side of the master. "
Matsunaga is an old fox, and the master must have swallowed this candy when he showed his kindness to the Matsunaga family.
Before, she tried her best to instigate Miyoshi Yoshitsugu to fight against the three Miyoshi people. That was because Miyoshi Changqing was still there, in order to hide behind and seek peace.
Now that Miyoshi Changqing is dead, the civil strife in Miyoshi's family will not do her any good. Of course, we have to start being the peacemaker and hope that both parties will be reconciled.
After all, Matsunagahide is a retainer of Miyoshi. If the Miyoshi family declines now, it will not be good for her.
The general, shogunate, and Akechi Mitsuhide were kind to her because they saw the powerful Miyoshi family behind her. How can the fox continue to dominate without the tiger behind it?
Matsunaga is still young and cannot handle many complex political affairs well.
Then it's simple, if something big happens, the young people will stand on the side of the master. The slick routine behind it is played by Matsunaga Hide to create space.
Xiangjian is the Lord's confidant, standing on the Lord's side, no one else can make a mistake, and the three good people will not think too much about it.
Matsunaga nodded and followed his mother's advice.
After talking about approaching, Matsunagahide began to think about Miyoshi Yoshitsugu’s intention of sending Miyoshi Yasunaga to Sakai Port.
Miyoshi Yasunaga is Miyoshi Changqing's aunt and a powerful member of Miyoshi's family. She deeply detested the internal strife in the Mihaoshi family and hoped that both parties could bridge their differences and deal with the outside world in unison.
After Anzhai Fuyangyasu's death, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu's position as family governor was not secure. No matter how much you hate the three good people and the three people, you must consider standing firm first.
Did she send Miyoshi Yasunaga to Sakai Port to test the attitude of the three Miyoshi people?
With the death of Miyoshi Chokei, Matsunaga's thoughts changed greatly. She wanted to turn her back on the Miyoshi trio and move closer to Miyoshi Yoshitsugu.
She had no chance before, but now she wants to be a good person and a loyal minister of the Mihaoshi family. In this case, she must cooperate with Miyoshi Yoshitsugi to win her favor.
But what can be done to prevent the three good people from thinking that she is betraying? Matsuhisa Nagahide wanted to be both formal and upright, but it was difficult to grasp the scale.
Honda Masanobu watched Matsuzaki Nagahide brooding and interjected.
"My lord, does your highness intend to make peace with the three good people?"
"There should be some consideration in this regard."
Matsunagahide's tone was uncertain, but Honda Masanobu said.
“I’m afraid it’s not that simple.
Sakai Port is the main source of commercial profits among the Miyoshi family, and is now under the jurisdiction of Miyoshi Masaksu of the Miyoshi trio.
The family governor succeeded to the throne and sent Miyoshi Yasunaga to Sakai Port. Is this an attitude of reconciliation towards the Three Good Three People? Or should we use the hands of the neutral faction to regain the power of Sakai Port? "
Matsuzuki Nagahide suddenly woke up, it was true.
If Miyoshi Yoshitsugu wants to win over the Miyoshi trio, then she will definitely delegate power and show them that she has no intention of infringing on their interests.
Now Yasunaga Miyoshi has been dispatched to Sakai Port, seemingly expecting her to help bridge the differences between the two parties, but it is actually a sign of unwillingness to compromise.
The plank road is built openly and the warehouse is secretly built. To stabilize the three good and three people, the pace of seizing power cannot be stopped.
Once Miyoshi Masasu gave in, Miyoshi Yasunaga gained the power of Sakai Port. Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, the family governor, has an order. Would Miyoshi Yasunaga dare to refuse and not execute it?
If the Miyoshi and the trio misjudged and gave in, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu would use the neutral faction to take back the power of Sakai Port and get the Miyoshi and the trio to join forces.
Matsunaga shook his head.
"My lord, the girl's temperament is too hasty."
Her mentality has now changed and she wants to be a loyal minister. Of course, he looked down upon Miyoshi Yoshitsugi's immature political methods and expressed his grief.
The three good people are not stupid. Even if they are fooled at first, they will only become more angry when they react later.
The basic base of the Miyoshi family is in Shikoku, with Settsu and Tanba standing alone in the west. Sakai Port is their lifeline, and Miyoshi and the others point to it to replenish their finances and maintain their military strength.
Miyoshi Yoshitsugi wants to trick Miyoshi into returning to Sakai Port, so that Miyoshi and the other three have no choice but to give in. Isn't she afraid that she will jump over the wall?
Defrauding Sakai Port will destroy the trust between both parties. In the future games between the two parties, how can the three good people believe her sincerity?
Rather than sit back and wait for death, they would rather die together. If the Miyoshi trio chooses to take back Sakai Port by force, civil war in the Miyoshi family will be inevitable.
There was sweat on Matsunaga's head and he looked at Honda Masanobu. The counselor saw through the weirdness at a glance, and indeed had some abilities, so he was worthy enough to drag her into the Matsunaga family.
"Honda-hime, Miyoshi Yasunaga going to Sakai Port is an irrepentable fact. Is there any way you can ease the conflict between the two parties?"
Matsunaga was helpless.
Miyoshi Yoshitsugi had just succeeded to the throne and was most afraid of losing his authority. She will never change her tune, Miyoshi Yasunaga's departure to Sakai Port is irreversible.
But watching the civil war in Miyoshi's family unfold, Matsunaga Hide, a loyal minister, couldn't do it.
Honda Masanobu smiled and said.
“It’s actually not difficult.
If His Highness Miyoshi is indeed confident, he can just send his subordinates to take over Sakai Port. Why would he use the neutral Miyoshi Yasunaga to deceive him?
As long as you are firm, you can completely convince her to slow down and take her time.
The foundation of the Miyoshi family is in the four countries. The two countries in the West are rootless, and the Miyoshi family has no confidence in their hearts.
As long as His Highness Miyoshi has the magnanimity to accept them, they will not fail to appreciate him. "
Honda Masanobu and Matsunaga Hide understood it and nodded in agreement.
The so-called tolerance of acceptance means not to touch the boundaries of their power and trigger a backlash. At least until Miyoshi Yoshitsugi becomes the family governor, he shouldn't be too radical.
After the death of Miyoshi Yoshihide, the Miyoshi trio caused so many troubles. Isn't it because they were afraid of losing their power in the west?
In this case, just hold them steady.
Miyoshi Yoshitsugu is the legitimate heir established by Miyoshi Nagakei. As long as she is not impatient, she will be able to take control of the family business sooner or later. By then, it will not be too late to settle the accounts later in the year.
Seeing that Matsunagahide listened, Honda Masanobu continued.
"My lord, you can accompany the young master back to the Four Kingdoms. In the name of being grateful to the lord, you can personally send your legitimate daughter as a pledge, and take this opportunity to show your interests to the lord.
Miyoshi Yasunaga has no problem going to Sakai Port. He can co-manage Sakai Port with Miyoshi Masayasu. There is no need to kick her away all at once. "
"good!"
Matsunaga was impressed, and Honda Masanobu was a good idea.
Miyoshi Yoshitsugi wanted Matsunaga Hide to be a sidekick, so Matsunaga Hide personally came to his door. Miyoshi Yoshitsugi, who is called a hostage girl and has a precarious status, will certainly be grateful to her for coming to the platform.
As for the Miyoshi trio, they can use an excuse to bridge the gap between the two parties, allowing Miyoshi Yasunaga and Miyoshi Masayasu to share the power of Sakai Port.
Miyoshi Masayasu will not be kicked away, and Matsuhisa Nagahide will also gain the favor of Miyoshi and the other three.
Neither side is offended, and the neutral faction in Miyoshi's family who does not want civil strife will also have a good impression of Matsunaga Hidechi's general behavior.
The peacemaker did everything possible, and her image as a good and loyal minister was established.
