Tokugawa Ieyasu's visit here must be about the incident of Shiba Yoshigan's collision in the castle town.
She was able to get the news as soon as possible, and she was able to immediately find Niwa Nagahide as a companion, which shows that she had planned it in advance and had been keeping an eye on the castle town.
She is waiting for a good opportunity.
Hashiba Hideyoshi asked softly.
"Main Hall, should I avoid it?"
Oda Nobunaga glanced at her and said with a faint smile.
"What are you avoiding? You still have the troublemaking Mikawa Princess warrior detained there, right?
His Highness Tokugawa came in a hurry, probably because of this matter, and just in time to listen to what she had to say. "
Hideyoshi Hashiba swallowed and bowed.
She already felt something was wrong. The incident happened suddenly. How could it take so little effort to alarm Tokugawa Ieyasu? Unless, Tokugawa Ieyasu has been keeping an eye on the castle town.
Hideyoshi Hashiba was extremely sensitive in his way of life. At this moment, he was standing on his back with a cold hair on his back, already feeling that he had fallen into a whirlpool.
She secretly glanced at Oda Nobunaga, who looked calm, and thought about Tokugawa Ieyasu's intentions for a few times, and the more she thought about it, the more she started sweating.
Soon, Niwa Nagahide led Tokugawa Ieyasu in, followed by a little kid, who turned out to be Honda Tadakatsu.
The three of them saluted Oda Nobunaga and Niwa Nagahide said.
"Hideyoshi is here too."
Hashiba Hideyoshi fell to the ground and kowtowed.
"Your Highness Tokugawa, Niwa-senpai, you two are well."
Niwa Nagahide smiled and nodded, Tokugawa Ieyasu sighed and said.
"I was not strict with my subordinates and caused trouble for Yu Shiba-hime."
Hashiba Hideyoshi was immediately frightened and did not dare to say anything, so he kowtowed to the ground.
Oda Nobunaga couldn't help laughing when he saw Tokugawa Ieyasu's attitude was so low that he even apologized to a thousand-stone man.
She said with a hint.
"Your Highness Tokugawa, how can Hideyoshi bear your courtesy? Could it be that your coming here has something to do with Hideyoshi?"
Tokugawa Ieyasu's heart sank, she knew that she was acting eager.
These days, the Mikawa Princess samurai has caused a lot of trouble in Kyoto, but Oda Nobunaga has always ignored it. Tokugawa Ieyasu had already vaguely felt that his thoughts had been seen through by Oda Nobunaga.
But with Yoshihiro Saba entering the capital, the game within the shogunate is about to begin. Tokugawa Ieyasu didn't want to wait any longer, and became increasingly impatient.
As luck would have it, the Owari Mikawa-hime samurai was causing trouble and bumped into Shiba Yoshigami's chariot. It was a God-given opportunity.
Tokugawa Ieyasu was naturally unwilling to miss this opportunity. She immediately went to Niwa Nagahide and begged her to help accommodate and come to see Oda Nobunaga together.
But her thoughts had long been seen through by Oda Nobunaga, and he made a point, leaving Tokugawa Ieyasu momentarily embarrassed and speechless.
Niwa Nagahide saw Tokugawa Ieyasu smile bitterly and said nothing, so he came out to smooth things over and said.
"Main Hall, Hideyoshi is here, I believe you also know what happened in the castle town.
These days, Owari Mikawa and the two Kataji warriors don't get along well, and they get into disputes from time to time. This time we even made a fuss in front of the imperial office, and both our families were embarrassed.
His Highness Tokugawa's idea is that since the Miyoshi family has been defeated, the Tokugawa family's military strength should return to its original position first.
On the one hand, it avoids hurting the harmony among the allies, and on the other hand, it does not make the shogunate laugh. "
Oda Nobunaga glanced at Niwa Nagahide and said.
"Mi Wuniang, what you said is wrong.
The friendship between the Oda and Tokugawa families is priceless and their covenant is rock-solid. How could the Oda family enjoy the glory of supporting the shogun in Shangluo?
The Tokugawa family shed blood and sweat, and saw that the shogunate was re-established, and their honor was at hand. But you are thinking of driving His Highness Tokugawa back to Tokaido. Isn't that good? "
Niwa Nagahide was shaken by Oda Nobunaga's words and shook his head repeatedly. Oda Nobunaga looked at Tokugawa Ieyasu and said softly.
"Your Majesty Tokugawa, there is no need to think too much.
It's just a few ignorant idiots messing around. It's enough to teach them a lesson. Why bother you to retreat? "
Tokugawa Ieyasu was speechless for a moment and could not speak. Her trick was seen through by Oda Nobunaga, who was holding her back and not letting her go, just because Tokugawa Ieyasu was cautious and did not dare to fall out.
Niwa Nagahide may not have understood the mystery, but Oda Nobunaga was so aggressive that she was ridiculed even for acting as a peacemaker, and she could no longer speak to defend Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Hashiba Hideyoshi broke into a cold sweat after hearing this, she finally understood. My bad luck these days has probably been noticed by the two His Highnesses and treated as a chess piece.
No one spoke, and the room fell into silence.
At this moment, the little boy behind Tokugawa Ieyasu, Honda Tadakatsu, suddenly spoke.
"Your Majesty Oda, there is something wrong with what you said."
Oda Nobunaga smiled and said nothing, looking at Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Tokugawa Ieyasu turned around and scolded.
"What nonsense are you talking about! Apologize to His Highness Oda immediately!"
Honda Tadakatsu smiled coldly, and a fierce look appeared on his childlike face.
She said coldly.
"The Tokugawa family went to Luo to serve the Ashikaga shogun family and to help the Oda family, their allies.
What my Highness has done is worthy of the Shogunate and His Highness Oda.
Now that the trip to Luo is over, my Highness wants to return to his skills. Why should His Highness Oda stop me?
Is this an attitude toward allies? This is your attitude toward your subordinates!
I would like to ask Your Majesty Oda, are the Tokugawa family allies or vassals of the Oda family? "
Tokugawa Ieyasu was overjoyed in his heart. He brought this little girl Honda Tadakatsu. Sure enough, he brought the right person. She really can talk!
But on her face, she turned pale and cursed fiercely.
"Honda Tadakatsu! Why are you talking to His Highness Oda? Apologize immediately! I order you to apologize immediately!"
Honda Tadakatsu shouted with his eyes widened.
"We, the Mikawa Princess warriors, are loyal to the Tokugawa family! We only recognize Tokugawa, not Oda!
In the Battle of Rokkaku, I found it strange that His Highness Oda rewarded the Mikawa Princess warriors who attacked the city. Now it’s time to ask for a clear answer and clear up the doubts in my heart!
Does the Oda family really regard the Tokugawa family as allies? Or do you think that the Tokugawa family is a subsidiary and can be taken away from you? "
Tokugawa Ieyasu said angrily.
"Shut up! Get out! Get out of here!"
She turned to Oda Nobunaga and said sincerely.
"Sister Master Ji, don't argue with this rough guy. This guy has a straight temper and can't speak."
Oda Nobunaga squinted his eyes and looked at Tokugawa Ieyasu who looked panicked, but his heart kept sinking.
Tokugawa Ieyasu only talked about Honda Tadakatsu and could not speak, but she was wrong in not talking about Honda Tadakatsu.
Looking at Honda Tadakatsu with an unyielding expression and an unyielding gaze, Oda Nobunaga's eyes twitched.
Seeing the tense situation, Niwa Nagahide quickly came out to put out the fire.
"Your Highnesses, the two families are of course close allies, why do they have to get into trouble over some trivial matter?
His Highness Tokugawa, how about you go back first? Think about it carefully. "
Tokugawa Ieyasu took the steps handed over by Niwa Nagahide and nodded.
"I'll take this bastard back and teach her a lesson!"
After speaking, Tokugawa Ieyasu bowed to Oda Nobunaga, escorted Honda Tadakatsu, who looked unconvinced, and left.
Hashiba Hideyoshi carefully watched the whole scene, and felt like a mirror in his heart, he was indeed involved in the vortex of the secret struggle between the Oda and Tokugawa families.
Her underwear was already soaked with cold sweat, and she felt that something unexpected had happened and she was really unlucky. Isn't it just to maintain law and order in Kyoto? Why did he encounter the game between His Highnesses Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Fortunately, neither of them wanted to quarrel, so Hideyoshi Hashiba, a pawn, was not crushed to pieces by the pressure from both sides.
Oda Nobunaga looked at the background of Tokugawa Ieyasu hurriedly leaving, and suddenly asked Niwa Nagahide.
"Am I too anxious?"
Niwa Nagahide pondered for a while before answering.
“His Royal Highness Tokugawa is loyal and loyal, and is a trustworthy ally.
The Takeda family has already taken over Shinano, Suruga and both countries. Without the Tokugawa family as a barrier, the east side of my family's territory would not be so peaceful.
Grand Hall, I implore you to think twice and take a long-term approach. "
Oda Nobunaga nodded slowly, Niwa Nagahide's words made sense.
Takeda Harunobu is so dishonest that even the Imagawa family, an ally, can tear up the agreement and invade Suruga Country. If she were allowed to dominate the Tokaido, the Oda family would be in a lot of trouble.
The Noo Plain is the foundation for the rise of the Oda family and cannot be lost. If the Tokugawa family did not stop the Takeda family's invasion, the Oda family would definitely be very upset.
Tokugawa Ieyasu's low profile was because she needed Oda Nobunaga's help to resist the Takeda family's troops. But Oda Nobunaga also needed Tokugawa Ieyasu to look after him before he could go deep into Konki with peace of mind.
The covenant between the two parties was to get what they wanted. Oda Nobunaga thought he was powerful and tried every means to force Tokugawa Ieyasu into a subordinate. This thing itself was done in a disgraceful way, a bit underhanded.
Tokugawa Ieyasu didn't want to break up, so he used the Mikawa Princess samurai to cause trouble, and used Honda Tadakatsu's words to show the Tokugawa family's unyieldingness.
Niwa Nagahide hoped that Oda Nobunaga would accept it as he saw fit and not push people too hard. It would be no good for both parties to really push Tokugawa Ieyasu into despair.
Oda Nobunaga thought for a while and suddenly laughed.
"This Takechiyo is interesting and interesting. Since she gives me such face, then I can't continue to embarrass her.
Mi Wuniang, go to Takechiyo and say something for me. The Oda family and the Tokugawa family were allies, not monarchs and ministers. It is up to her to make the decision to reclaim it, and it is not convenient for me to interfere.
Hideyoshi, put back all the Tokugawa warriors. If my guess is correct, the Ji warriors who committed the crime should be the same group of people who received my reward during the Battle of Rokkaku.
Let them return the reward and treat it as a fine. This matter ends here! "
After weighing the pros and cons, Oda Nobunaga found that he was still reluctant to accept Tokugawa Ieyasu for a while, and then quickly made a choice.
She also needs Oda Tokugawa's alliance. Since she can't win over the Tokugawa family, she should continue to be a good ally.
As long as the power of the Oda family continues to expand, the strength of the two sides will become increasingly unbalanced. When the day comes when a qualitative change occurs, Oda Nobunaga will make Tokugawa Ieyasu kneel in front of him so convinced.
The world will belong to her sooner or later, so there is no need to rush for a mere Tokugawa Ieyasu.
———
Tokugawa Ieyasu walked out of Tofukuji Temple and took a deep breath.
Honda Tadakatsu said with a smile.
"Your Highness, how did I behave?"
Tokugawa Ieyasu glanced at her and said.
"Honda Tadakatsu made rude remarks and contradicted His Highness Oda, and was punished by forfeiture of one year's salary."
"ah???"
Honda Tadakatsu was stunned, and before he could recover, Tokugawa Ieyasu said again.
"Honda Tadakatsu participated in the Battle of Shangluo and made outstanding achievements. He was rewarded with three hundred stones for Zhixing."
After saying that, Tokugawa Ieyasu walked straight forward, and Honda Tadakatsu followed him with a smile on his face.
"Thank you, Your Highness, where else do you want to go tomorrow? Do you want to continue taking me there?"
Tokugawa Ieyasu's handsome face appeared in his mind, and he shook his head.
"I won't take you there."
Honda Tadakatsu curled his lips and made a cut.
Tokugawa Ieyasu was always frugal, and the reward of three hundred stone for Tomoyo was rare. Honda Tadakatsu also wanted to earn more, but unfortunately the master did not give him a chance.
———
The next day, in the tea room of Sibo Mansion.
Yoshigan Shiba and the visiting Tokugawa Ieyasu enjoyed the tea ceremony together.
After the tea was served, the tea bearer retreated. Yi Gin picked up the tea soup and held it in his hands, smelling the aroma of matcha. He's not used to drinking matcha tea, but he's okay with smelling it.
Tokugawa Ieyasu took a respectful sip, put down the tea soup, and said.
"Good tea. The tea makers at Odaisho are really extraordinary. There is no such good craftsmanship in Mikawa."
Yiyin smiled and said nothing, talking nonsense.
Mihao went to Luo, and Kyoto was in chaos. Some famous tea drinkers fled to Sakai Port and Ichijogani Castle for refuge.
This tea man was a newcomer whom Yi Gin received from Tokugawa Ieyasu and casually recruited from the castle town to decorate the tea room. He had a p-level.
But Tokugawa Ieyasu's unexpected visit surprised Yoshigan and had to treat him with caution.
Oda Tokugawa's alliance was brokered by Toshiie Maeda, led by Owari Shiba. Speaking of which, Yoshihiro Shiba also had a favor.
However, anyone with a discerning eye could see the secret rivalry between Shiba Yoshigan and Oda Nobunaga when they were in Shangluo. Seeing that the shogunate was re-established, some matters were immediately put on the table for debate.
Tokugawa Ieyasu, a close ally of Oda Nobunaga, suddenly sent a greeting message yesterday and wanted to visit him. Yoshigan Shiba also had doubts.
What does she mean by coming?
Yoshigan Shiba understands the situation on Tokaido, and he knows very well that it is impossible for the Tokugawa family to betray the Oda family and join the Shiba family.
If the Takeda family is not eliminated, the Tokugawa family will be firmly tied to Oda Nobunaga's chariot.
Yoshigan was also afraid of the Tiger of Kai who respected his grandson, let alone Tokugawa Ieyasu, who faced the threat of the Takeda family directly.
Tokugawa Ieyasu should know very well that Oda Nobunaga has the same interests as her in the strategy against the Takeda family. The Oda family has a stone worth two million, which is the best helper for the Tokugawa family back to back.
Yoshigan did not expect Tokugawa Ieyasu to abandon Oda Nobunaga and join him. So what did she do to come to him at this sensitive moment when the shogunate was re-established?
There was silence in the tea room, and the tea masters retreated, leaving only the two masters drinking.
After a while, Tokugawa Ieyasu bowed to Yoshigashi Shiba and said.
"Otaisuo, I have to leave."
Yiyin's eyes narrowed and he asked.
"Your Majesty Tokugawa, what is this?"
Tokugawa Ieyasu said sincerely.
"Sanhao was defeated, and the matter in Kyoto has settled. I have also been away from my skills for a long time, and my heart is concerned about family affairs.
This time, I actually want to say goodbye to you. "
Yoshigan looked at Tokugawa Ieyasu's sincere face and recalled in his mind the first time the two met.
At that time, she was still Oda Nobunaga's follower and was dragged to the Owari Shiba Guardian Center for fun. Oda Nobunaga was unscrupulous, but she was panicked, fearing that her secret travel would be exposed.
Yiyin smiled slightly, the little loli back then had finally grown up.
As a girl grows up, she not only grows more beautiful, but also becomes more and more independent, unwilling to be manipulated by Oda Nobunaga at will.
