Maeda Riku scolded him until he was out of breath, and Maeda Yuji said with a smile.
"Mother, I know I was wrong. Let's go in and talk, and I'll help you pour water to quench your thirst."
Seeing that Maeda Yoshida didn't seem to be able to get enough fuel, and he didn't have the majesty of Wanseki Daimyo at all, Maeda Toshihisa also felt powerless for a while.
She nodded silently and called for the awkward Dazang Changan behind her to come into the room and talk.
The three of them sat down. Maeda Riku drank some water to calm his mind and said.
"Benefit, there is a great talent in Dazang Chang'an. I want you to recommend her to go to Kanto and serve in front of the Imperial Palace."
Maeda glanced at Ozo Changan, who was observing etiquette, and asked his mother.
"What is she capable of?"
"Public security, internal affairs, especially good at stabilizing territory, managing local affairs, and also has great ideas for local planning such as water conservancy and transportation."
Maeda was shocked, so powerful? It's rare for a mother to admire someone so highly, even a young warrior Ji.
she said in surprise.
"Since you are so powerful, why not stay in Iga and help you?"
Maeda Rihisa's expression condensed, and Ozo Changan's face also showed bitterness.
After a long time, Maeda Riku sighed.
"It's my fault that I can't use her.
As you said, Ozo-ryu Sarugaku is quite famous, and her family did make a lot of money to train her. It was also because of this that she was unable to integrate into the retainers group.
Rather than letting the pearl gather dust here, it is better to send it to the Odaisho as a token of my sincere service to the lord from the Iga Maeda family. "
Maeda narrowed his eyes and spoke in a bad tone.
"Mother is saying that there is someone in the family who is jealous of talents and has made things difficult for you?"
Maeda Riku glared at her and said.
"Don't talk nonsense. Walls have ears. If word spreads, it will chill the hearts of the retainers and be detrimental to the family business."
Maeda is a self-proclaimed eccentric, has a weird temper, and doesn't like to take care of internal affairs. After getting the land from Shiba Yiyin, she would only beg her mother from thousands of miles away, crying and asking Maeda Rihisa to help.
Maeda Rihisa was also unlucky. He fell into this prodigal daughter who was extremely lucky and had a very generous master, but had no interest in the territory at all. Who cares about her mother? Grit your teeth and help.
Maeda's subordinates are mainly divided into two factions.
One is the Iga Yunos who participated in the recent battles. Except for some of the old Iga clan who moved to Kanto with the Shinshin clan, the rest have been impressed by Maeda Yoshi's bravery and military exploits.
When Yoshigami Shiba seduced the Iga people into fighting, and later helped them clear their identity and land, the savage Noda was incorporated into the guardian system and became a true samurai family.
Although these people worked under Maeda's interests, the land was entrusted to Shiba Yiyin and fell within the scope of Shiba Ryosho.
In fact, they are regarded as Yoshihiro Shiba's retainers. They are similar to the forces assigned to Maeda's interests and should be respected. Maeda Rihisa cannot be too harsh on them.
Because Yu Yezhong was a savage transformed into a martial artist, what he valued most was the identity he had worked so hard to get back. Of course they didn't have a good impression of Dazang Chang'an, who was born as a monkey musician and was promoted under unusual circumstances.
The other group of people were the samurai from Haixi and Haidong counties brought by Maeda Rihisa from Shimo-Owari. These people are centered on the warrior Maeda Hime of Arakoko Castle, and are direct descendants brought by Maeda Rihisa.
In the countryside of Owari, they longed for the land of the near future, and were persuaded by Maeda Rihisa to come to Iga and work for Maeda's interests.
Therefore, the land they received was a settlement issued by Maeda's interests, and they were the traditional retainers group in the true sense.
Because they came to Konki from Owari, they stayed together quite well. He and Yu Yezhong looked down upon each other, and of course the saruura master Wu family from Yamato would not look down upon them either.
The Iga Maeda family and the retainers group of the Maeda interests are composed of these two factions. Not to mention the subdivisions between the two factions, just mediating the conflicts between the two factions gave Maeda Toshihisa a headache.
Although Dazang Changan was talented, the Wu family's society was orderly and hierarchical. An actor who is promoted to become a Ji warrior may not end well.
It was difficult for Maeda Toshihisa to appoint Ozo Changan, but he was reluctant to waste this talent. After much thought, she decided to find her daughter and send Dazang Chang'an to Kanto as a companion to serve the emperor.
Sibo Yiyin has a high prestige but lacks talents. He can use talents that Maeda Riku cannot use. Who dares to make irresponsible remarks on the talents that Odai values ?
Maeda Toshiyoshi told his daughter in detail. Maeda felt dizzy after hearing this. He touched his head and felt that his temples were a little swollen. She was used to being the boss, and she didn't bother to pay attention to the unscrupulous people in the retainer group.
But she knew that at any rate, if she lost her temper randomly and stood up for her mother to suppress the thorns in the retainer group, it might not lead to better results, but might cause new trouble for her mother.
Therefore, Maeda benefited and agreed to write a letter of recommendation to Dazang Changan and provide travel expenses. Let her go back to pack her bags and prepare to leave for Kanto.
But she was still a little puzzled. She asked after Dazang Changan gratefully resigned and mother and daughter were alone.
"Mother, even if we can't use Dazang Chang'an, we can still send it to Nizi Shengjiu.
She is the acting housekeeper of Sibo Territory in recent years, responsible for taking care of internal affairs, which is enough for Dazang Changan to learn from it.
According to what you said, Dazang Changan is very capable and will definitely be appreciated by Nizi Shengjiu. This can be regarded as a sign of my good relationship with her.
Don’t you often teach me to be more friendly with her and get closer to her? "
Maeda Riku poked his daughter's forehead with his finger, causing her head to hurt, and he cursed.
"You silly girl! I asked you to befriend Nizi Katsuhisa to prevent Akechi Mitsuhide from counterattack.
Have you forgotten where Yamanaka Yukimori went? Giving Dazang Chang'an to Nizi Shengjiu and making achievements in the future are also the credit of the Nizi party in the mountains.
Have you forgotten that your opponent is not only Akechi Mitsuhide, Yamanaka Yukimori also got Shiba information. "
Maeda suddenly realized what he was doing.
"What mother said is that I almost did something stupid like siding with the enemy. But Dazang Chang'an specializes in internal affairs, and you lack help.
Why don't you let me suppress the retainers and let you make good use of her? Wouldn't it be a pity to send her to Kanto? "
Maeda Rihisa said seriously.
"Isn't it just for you?
I heard that the Lee family sent someone to Kanto, who was a water conservancy expert. Tell me, what is she planning? "
Hearing Maeda Toshiie's words, Maeda Toshiie's eyes turned cold, and she lowered her head in thought.
"What does Maeda Toshiie want to do... Owari has been away for a long time. Is she afraid that the master will forget her existence, so she deliberately reminds the master to pay attention?"
Maeda Riku nodded.
"That's right. It's better to add icing on the cake than to provide help in times of need.
When the Imperial Guard went to Kanto, they brought mostly warriors who were good at fighting, but not many talented people who could manage the territory and govern the place.
Once the attendants sent by the Li family achieve something, the master will remember her recommendation, which is really a good move. "
Maeda said displeasedly.
"Then if we send internal affairs talents along, is it considered to be imitating others?
I don’t want to, I don’t want to imitate her! nausea! "
Seeing his daughter acting like a child, Maeda Toshihisa slapped the document and said angrily.
"Okay, I won't give it away! I'll just listen to you. You are the governor of the house anyway.
Don’t regret it in the future, don’t cry and make trouble with me! "
Seeing that his mother was really angry, Maeda was so frightened that he kept silent for a while.
