Oda Nobunaga accepted this suggestion and needed Takenaka Shigeharu to realize this plan, so he gave the order to bring her back for consultation.
Who knew that Takenaka Shigeharu was unwilling to go back and wanted to stay with Hashiba Hideyoshi to work. This was posing a problem for Oda Nobunaga.
Or, give up on Takenaka Shigeharu’s advice. Or, give Hideyoshi Hashiba a chance and use her to complete Takenaka Shigeharu's vision.
Hashiba Hideyoshi secretly glanced at Oda Nobunaga, and his heart trembled when he saw her staring at him without joy or anger. For this moody lord, Hideyoshi Hashiba was afraid to his core.
Looking back at Takenaka Shigeharu, he saw her smiling at him. Hashiba Hideyoshi suddenly felt a burst of courage in his heart, bowed deeply and said.
"Hime Takenaka is extremely talented, and I have benefited a lot from getting along with her for more than a year. I also hope that she can stay by my side and continue to help me!"
Oda Nobunaga pulled the corner of his mouth and made a slight cut. This little monkey usually sees himself like a mouse seeing a cat, but he didn't expect that today he would also follow Takenaka Shigeji's treatment of gallbladder.
Niwa Nagahide on the side saw that Oda Nobunaga didn't mean to be angry, so he took advantage of every opportunity and offered some help.
“Hideyoshi has indeed made a lot of progress over the past year, which is impressive.
Moreover, she is very motivated, works harder and is more reliable than ordinary martial artists. "
Oda Nobunaga turned back to glare at Niwa Nagahide and said.
"How much benefit has this monkey given you? Why do you protect her every time?"
He cursed a lot, but Niwa Nagahide's words moved Oda Nobunaga.
She glanced at Hideyoshi Hashiba, who looked scared but had the courage to face her, and finally couldn't help but laugh.
"Finally you are a little braver, which surprises me. I'm tired, you can go down first!"
Hashiba Hideyoshi was a little confused, but after saluting, he retreated with Takenaka Shigeharu and Hachisuga Masakatsu.
Oda Nobunaga looked at their leaving figures and asked.
"Mi Wu Niang, do you think Hideyoshi can use it?"
Niwa Nagahide said solemnly.
"Hideyoshi is a person who listens to advice, is willing to make progress, and is cautious. If the Oda family needs someone to stay in Kyoto in the future, I think she is very good.
You know, she once went to Konku to buy iron cannons, compared the price differences in Kyoto and Sakai Port, and had a fairly in-depth understanding of the local area. She is probably the person in the Oda family who is most familiar with Kyoto.
The situation is complicated these days, and you must leave a person of your own who is pure and reliable to keep an eye on it.
I think Hideyoshi is very suitable. "
Niwa Nagahide's words made Oda Nobunaga nod.
There is no shortage of capable people under her command, but each family has its own small calculations, but Hideyoshi Hashiba is of lower origin, less involved, simple and easy to use.
Oda Nobunaga glanced at Niwa Nagahide and snorted.
"I knew I couldn't hear anything bad about her from your mouth. I know, I will consider it."
Niwa smiled bitterly.
If you wanted to hear bad things about her, you wouldn't ask me, right? It's obvious that you already have a plan in mind and you're just using me as a ladder to step down.

After walking out of the castle tower, Hashiba Hideyoshi bowed deeply to Takenaka Shigeharu.
"Thank you very much! Takenaka Hime!
I am the one who brought you down. Because of me, your good ideas were abandoned by the main hall. "
Hachisuka Masakatsu patted his chest beside him and said with lingering fear.
“You two are so brave.
In the past two years, the majesty of the main hall has increased day by day. It has been a long time since I saw anyone dare to talk to her like this.
Especially Takenaka Hime, you dare to refuse the invitation from the main hall in person. My heart almost jumped out of my chest just now, it really scared me to death. "
Hideyoshi Hashiba sighed deeply and regretted.
"It's all because of me, making Takenakahime angry with the main hall."
Takenaka Shigeharu smiled and shook his head and said.
"No, on the contrary, the main hall is very happy and she has listened to my suggestion.
Congratulations, Hashiba-sama. The new opportunities you want, I can help you get them. "
Hideyoshi Hashiba was stunned and asked.
"Really? But the main hall sent us away without saying anything."
Takenaka Shigeharu shook his head.
“The authorities are obsessed.
You have been with the main hall for so long, so you should know her temper best. If she feels offended, can the three of us come out of it unscathed? "
Hashiba Hideyoshi thought about it, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and finally he bowed deeply to Takenaka Shigeharu with gratitude.
"Thank you very much, Takenaka Hime. I will never forget how much you helped me."
Takenaka Shigeharu also bowed deeply in return.
“Please don’t do this, Yushiba-sama.
A man dies for his confidant. I, Shigeharu Takenaka, am truly lucky to have your wholehearted trust. "
Haesuka Masakatsu covered his heart and rolled his eyes and said.
"You two, please stop being polite. Next time you do something like this, could you please inform me in advance so that I won't follow you.
Just as Takenaka Hime said, if the main hall really gets angry, the three of us still don’t know what will happen.
Help me quickly, I suddenly feel that my legs are a little weak. "
Hideyoshi Hashiba rubbed his head in embarrassment and said.
"Actually, I thought it was over just now. Let's go. Let's go to Master Maeda's place tonight and have a nice drink to calm Hachisuka-hime's shock."
After greeting Hideyoshi Hashiba and others waiting in the outer courtyard, Hideyoshi excitedly asked the guards and went to find the residence of the Maeda Toshi family.
Behind him, Takenaka Shigeharu looked at her full of fighting spirit and smiled slightly.
This time, I probably didn't choose the wrong person.

In recent years, there has been a turmoil, with all parties fighting overtly and covertly. They all regard the Kyoto occupied by the Miyoshi family as a piece of fat and want to take the biggest bite.
Far away in Kanto, with the appearance of the ancestors of Hachiman Palace, the entire political situation began to undergo drastic changes.
In the cold winter with heavy snowfall, the scene of Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine bathing in the sun could be seen clearly from the area around Kamakura.
Under the eyes of everyone, this miracle was like a nuclear bomb exploding, the sound waves swept outward, and the aftermath rippled throughout Guanbazhou.
At that time, in addition to the opposing sides of Echigo and Hojo, there were also high-ranking samurai from the Kanto parties who were fishing in troubled waters.
They witnessed with their own eyes the whole process of Hachiman Tai Ni Minamoto Yoshie's apparition and awarding Shiba Yoshiyoshi the White Flag, and they were deeply shocked.
There are many active volcanoes in the Japanese archipelago, and eruptions, earthquakes, and tsunamis have occurred continuously since ancient times. This geographical normality has developed a unique local national character, which values names over real things.
There are no real ancient buildings in this troubled land. What ancient relics can be completely preserved in the face of disasters?
If the house collapses, it can be rebuilt; if the three artifacts are lost, they can be rebuilt. Can Hachiman Tainiang's royal white flag really be preserved for five hundred years without decay? Of course it's impossible.
But this does not hinder the spirit behind this flag, the spirit of the martial arts family that is vigorous, fighting for their own destiny, and seeking rewards from the public.
Hachiman Tai Ni Minamoto Yoshie fought against the indigenous Mao people in Kanto for twelve years. The emperor's court was unwilling to acknowledge the Wu family's bloodshed and sacrifice, and was unwilling to reward them with favors. She would give them!
From then on, the Bando Hime samurai will always remember the Hachiman Tai Ni Minamoto no Yoshie family and the direct descendant of the Kawachi Genji family.
It was the bond formed by this reward that made the Bando Hachihei family choose Minamoto Yoritomo when they could not bear being squeezed by the court headed by Taira Kiyomori, and worked hard to conquer the samurai family's own world.
Nowadays, the eight states of Guan are withered, and the concubines no longer have the ambitions of their ancestors, and are just obsessed with grabbing one-third of an acre of their own land.
But in the heart of Bando Hime, there is no desire. The glory and pride flowing in their blood always remind them of who they are.
The Kanto warriors are cunning, cunning, and treacherous. But in the face of the miracle of Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine and the imperial white flag of Hachiman Tai Ni Minamoto no Yoshi's family, they still have a sincerity.
After five hundred years of ups and downs in Kanto, I still am still a young girl when I occasionally think about the past.
Hojo Uyasu received an urgent letter from Hojo Genan from Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine and couldn't believe it was true.
When the information from the Fuuma Ninja arrived and the two reflected each other, she sighed deeply. The sky will never stop the Hojo family, but Yoshigami Shiba has the blessing of his ancestors, so he can't defeat him.
The Hojo family came from Japan and have cultivated the Kanto region for three generations. They sincerely hope to be accepted by the Kanto samurai family and integrate into the land of the eight states of Kanto.
No one knows better than Hojo Ujiyasu what these proud and sensitive Kanto warriors are thinking.
After confirming that the miracle of the Gohaku Flag was not a forgery, Hojo Ujiyasu knew that he had lost. She no longer hesitated and rushed to Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine day and night.
A few days later, outside the dance hall.
Hojo Ujiyasu and his daughter Hojo Umasa led many important ministers below Hojo Genan to bow their heads in obeisance, presented Uesugi Teruhora with a sword in congratulations, and expressed their submission to the new Kanto governor.
Since then, Ashikaga Yoshiji and Hojo Ujiyasu formed the new Kanto system led by the shogun, which collapsed. The battle between the two Guandongs has come to an end.
———
After Uesugi Terutora and Hojo Ujiyasu greeted each other politely, Echigo finally achieved his political goal and reduced the Hojo family to a political disadvantage as a local power.
After completing their goal, the Echigo army no longer hesitated, and the entire army headed north and returned to Ueno Country.
Along the way, those who broke away from the Kwantung Allied Forces and returned without permission sent people from various samurai families to come to the Shiba Yi Ginza to kowtow to the imperial white flag and apologize.
Even the Satomi family in the Boso Peninsula and the Satake family in the Hitachi Kingdom sent cavalry to protect the Gohaku Banner and the Godaisho's return to the north.
Narita Chotasu, the culprit who led to the disbandment of the Kwantung Allied Forces, personally came to the Echigo army formation to plead guilty. Under Shiba Yoshigan's appeasement, Uesugi Teruhu forgave her fault.
For a time, the eyes of the entire Kanto region were focused on Shiba Yiyin and the royal white flag behind him. The atmosphere was as warm as a celebration.
After entering Ueno Country, various military forces left one after another and went back to rest. Yoshigan Shiba and Terutora Uesugi returned to Numata Castle, the dispatch point of the Echigo army.
———
Sibo Yiyin looked at the waning moon in the sky and let out a long breath. Under the low temperature of winter, the steam is as steamy as illusion and fog.
At this time, he was at Mitsumine Mountain not far north of Numata Castle, meeting with Uesugi Terutora to soak in the wild hot springs here.
Japan has many volcanoes and hot springs everywhere.
In this barren island country, those in power have little room for luxury. It's nothing more than an extra piece of radish and dried fish in the rice bowl, or drinking the tea powder soup and water to pretend to be a cultural person.
And in the boring winter, the only thing left to enjoy is soaking in hot springs.
Yiyin sighed again. Rather than soaking in hot springs, he missed the hot pot in his previous life more. It was the magic weapon to survive the winter.
It's a pity that in this island country where supplies are scarce, where can I get slices of mutton and beef? Not to mention those condiments and side dishes, just thinking about them makes my mouth water and makes me feel uncomfortable. It’s better not to think about it.
Ever since I agreed to Uesugi Teruhora last year, I would accompany her to the hot springs when I had time. From then on, she took special care of him and took Yiyin to the hot springs whenever she had time.
This time, the Echigo army moved south, and the Kanto strategy finally came to an end. Although the result was not perfect, it was acceptable.
The two of them returned to Numata Castle. As soon as they could put their minds down, Uesugi Teruhora dragged Yoshigoshi to a nearby hot spring.
Yiyin is actually not happy.
The Echigo army moved south to occupy the Numata Territory, almost openly swallowing up the Numata family's territory. Although this place is already the territory of Echigo, it is not as safe as Echigo's country.
Who knows if there will be some extreme retainers in Numata's family?
The Japanese samurai family is mentally ill. Sometimes they are too scared to save their family business, and sometimes they are brave enough to sacrifice themselves, commit suicide, commit seppuku, whatever happens.
Yiyin really didn't dare to bet on the sanity of these neurotic Wu family, and even if they went out of the city to take a bath, they would have countless flags in front of them, and they would not be clean.
But he had no choice but to be stalked by Uesugi Teruhu, and it was inconvenient for him to refuse too bluntly. In the end, we followed him to the wild hot springs in Sanfeng Mountain, fulfilling Teru Uesugi's wish.
The area around the hot spring had been carefully searched by Hatamoto more than ten times. The inside and outside were wrapped with white cloth to protect from the wind. The mountain hut was tidied up and he was invited to stay temporarily.
He walked slowly from the hut to the hot spring. Along the way, the bannermen looked at him with strange eyes, solemn and longing.
Yiyin sighed secretly, the power of this royal white flag was far more powerful than he thought, and even made him a little scared.
Although he knew that the Kanto warrior family values tradition, what happened to him after he got the Imperial White Flag still made him a little confused.
Hojo Ujiyasu knelt down without any resistance, looking like an honest and obedient person waiting to be dealt with.
Narita Choyasu offended Uesugi Teruhora so much that he dared to come to the army, bear a thorn to plead guilty, cry bitterly in front of Yoshigan, and beg for forgiveness.
The Satomi family, the Satake family, and the martial arts families from the five eastern countries dared to send people to protect him and protect Yubaiqi as he returned north. It’s like he’s afraid that if he’s one step behind others, he’ll be embarrassed.
But the more they do this, the greater the pressure on Yiyin.
The huge reversal of the situation in Kanto is beyond Yoshigan's imagination. The admiration of these Kanto warriors comes from the heart.
Yiyin accepted their respect and was put on a high pedestal. This time he really couldn't get off the stage. Either stay high forever, or fall to pieces.
He regretted a little as to why he wanted to covet that meaningful white flag.
If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. Behind this royal white flag is the melancholy of the Kanto martial arts family, which has been lost for two hundred years and its status has continued to fall.
Since the decline of the Kamakura shogunate and the re-establishment of the Ashikaga shogunate, the center of the samurai world has moved from Kamakura to Kyoto.
The Kanto samurai family, which was originally dominating at the feet of the emperor, suddenly turned into country people, and Kamakura fell into a small fishing village.
How could the proud Samurai Bando Hime bear this huge gap?
