Looking at Sanji who were complimenting each other in a harmonious atmosphere, Yiyin sighed secretly.
The human heart is unpredictable and cannot withstand temptation. The road is long, and Yiyin doesn’t know who will insist on following him to the end, but he means what he says.
If Ninagawa Makoyo and Hatakeyama Takamasa can follow until the end, his promise will definitely be fulfilled. I just don’t know if they will jump off the bus midway.
Yiyin sat at the top and silently watched the three people chatting intimately. Akechi Mitsuhide glanced back inadvertently and smiled at him.
He rolled his eyes at Akechi Mitsuhide, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip to calm down his uneasiness.
———
What does the future hold? Is there a direct relationship between your future and your own efforts?
It is said that times make heroes and heroines, but the pigs in the limelight don't actually know that they are in the limelight.
Whether you live in chaos or strive to make progress, you cannot see the slightest bit of the future clearly. I can only comfort myself, three points depends on hard work, seven points is God's will.
Precisely because the future is unpredictable, people who are optimistic and full of fighting spirit will sometimes feel confused.
Hashiba Hideyoshi fell into deep self-doubt when he returned from Tofukuji Temple.
She tossed and turned all night, and Takenaka Shigeharu, who came to report, saw her like this and asked.
"My lord, didn't you get a good rest last night?"
Hashiba Hideyoshi was in a daze and asked casually.
"Hime Takenaka, you come from a famous family. You once had a family fortune of thousands of stones, and you can be called a great name. Over the years, have you ever regretted following me, a person with a fortune of thousands of stones?
actually. . If you are willing to go back to the main hall, with your talent, the main hall will definitely use it for you.
The Oda family business is booming, and it is only a matter of time before you regain your status as the Wanshi Daimyo. "
Takenaka Shigeharu frowned and looked at Hideyoshi Hashiba who looked confused.
Regarding her unwillingness to serve Oda Nobunaga, the two of them had already reached a conclusion. When Hashiba Hideyoshi mentioned this matter at this time, he was not doubting her loyalty, but he was doubting Hashiba Hideyoshi himself.
Why did Hideyoshi Hashiba, who had always worked hard and strived for the top, suddenly become worried about gains and losses?
Takenaka Shigeharu pondered for a while and asked.
"My lord, you went to Tofukuji Temple yesterday to meet with the main hall. Didn't it go well?"
Hashiba Hideyoshi smiled bitterly. Takenaka Shigeharu was too smart to answer her boring questions at all, and made the key points clear in one sentence.
Hashiba Hideyoshi took a deep breath, not knowing what to say to Takenaka Shigeharu.
Hideyoshi Hideyoshi, who was born as a servant of Oda Nobunaga and has always been deeply in awe of Oda Nobunaga, never thought about it. One day, he would actually hate Oda Nobunaga.
It was Oda Nobunaga who gave her everything and promoted her from a servant to a thousand-stone field.
Although this care comes from utilization and her own efforts, it is undeniable that without Oda Nobunaga, there would be no Hideyoshi Hashiba.
Oda Nobunaga was kind to her.
Even at the time of Owari, Oda Nobunaga established her as the representative of the new clan and used it as a shield to divert the hostility of the Oda retainers group.
Hashiba Hideyoshi only had fear in his heart, and he did not dare to resent, let alone have the idea of resisting Oda Nobunaga.
It wasn't until Takenaka Shigeharu stepped forward and offered advice in front of Oda Nobunaga that the value of Hashiba Hideyoshi was once again confirmed, and she was able to continue to be cared for by Oda Nobunaga to this day.
Hideyoshi Hashiba understood very well that in this world, hard work will be rewarded. Most people's efforts are just stepping stones for others.
She has always been grateful and conscientious in her work. Even if I harbor unexplainable wishful thinking, it is only used as a motivation for progress.
But when she saw Shiba Yoshigan's attitude of being willing to be humiliated by Oda Nobunaga, Hashiba Hideyoshi's mentality suddenly collapsed.
Hideyoshi Hashiba opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something, but nothing came out.
Tell Shigeharu Takenaka that he hates Oda Nobunaga? Tell Takenaka Shigeharu that he hates Oda Nobunaga for humiliating Shiba Yoshigan? Tell Takenaka Shigeharu that he wants to get Shiba Yiyin?
Hideyoshi Hashiba felt bitter, Takenaka Shigeharu must have thought he was crazy, right?
I have never seen Hashiba Hideyoshi so confused and depressed. Takenaka Shigeharu seemed to feel something.
Takenaka Shigeharu chose to follow Hashiba Hideyoshi because he saw a possibility in her.
This petite woman, who was nicknamed a monkey by Oda Nobunaga, has a strong personal charm.
For some unknown reason, she almost masochistically tried to make progress. It was like there was an invisible whip whipping behind him, or he was chasing something.
Her eyes were filled with the desire for success, and her body, which was shorter than the average Ji warrior, burst out with terrifying power.
This made Takenaka Shigeharu unable to help but approach her, help her, and yearn for the possibilities of the future. Today, Hideyoshi Hashiba seems to have lost that light and has become mediocre.
Takenaka Shigeharu looked at Hideyoshi Hashiba and said slowly.
“Back then, when I was kicked out of Mino Country, I was once a genius strategist praised by the Mino family, but I was forced to become a lost dog.
I went to Owari in a fit of enthusiasm, thinking that I would be given a chance to be put to good use by the main hall. Who would have known that the main hall would treat me as a dispensable resource and leave me to a man who was born as a servant?
At the time, I was furious, feeling humiliated, and like a complete loser. "
Hashiba Hideyoshi trembled all over and looked at Takenaka Shigeharu, who was also his teacher and friend. Takenaka Shigeharu smiled at her and continued.
“But now, I’m grateful, grateful that we met.
I am Takenaka Shigeharu, a genius strategist from Mino. My Lord should not be an ordinary person! I will help her achieve a great career!
Her success and brilliance will make those idiots who once laughed at me shut up forever! "
Takenaka Shigeharu's impassioned speech made Hideyoshi's eyes heat up and his vision gradually blurred.
she muttered.
"Can I really do this?"
Takenaka Shigeharu stepped forward and held Hashiba Hideyoshi's slightly trembling palm, and said decisively.
"We will succeed!"
Hashiba Hideyoshi finally couldn't bear it anymore and cried. Her tears turned into two tear tracks, dripping down her cheeks.
"I hate her... I hate her!
I hate her for humiliating the one I love. I hate that I can't do anything but watch her humiliate the one I love!
I hate it so much, Takenakahime, I really hate it! "
Takenaka Shigeharu's face straightened, and she remembered that Odaisho had been to Tofukuji Temple yesterday.
She took a deep look at Hideyoshi Hashiba, who was crying and venting, and finally understood what she had been chasing all these years.
She is really brave.
If it hadn't been for the loss of his heart today, Hashiba Hideyoshi would never have told anyone about his crush on Shiba Yoshigan.
Born as a servant, she has an unforgettable sense of inferiority and doesn't want anyone to know about it. The story of a toad wanting to eat swan meat is not funny at all to the toad.
Hashiba Hideyoshi was uneasy, thinking that the feelings he couldn't help but express would make Takenaka Shigeharu look down on him, and even contemplate quitting.
Who knew, Takenaka Shigeharu actually burst into laughter. Hashiba Hideyoshi was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily.
"Is it so funny!"
Takenaka Shigeharu shook his head and said.
"No, I am happy, really happy."
Hideyoshi Hashiba couldn't care less about his anger, his mind couldn't turn around for a while, and he got stuck.
"Happy?"
Takenaka Shigeharu looked at her squarely with a serious face. Gu Hu
"My lord, do you think I would be willing to let the master I choose serve as a vassal to others for the rest of my life?"
Hashiba Hideyoshi looked at Takenaka Shigeharu's serious eyes, and the hair on his body stood up.
Takenaka Shigeharu said solemnly.
"Oda Nobunaga acted very domineeringly. He had the talent to conquer the world, but he did not have the virtue to dominate the world. The Oda family's hegemony was ultimately in vain.
If Suli loses his deer, the whole world will chase him away.
Lord, today’s world is a world of great contention. Who will win is yet to be determined. "
Hashiba Hideyoshi was confused.
Takenaka Shigeharu has long been disloyal to the Oda family? If you think about it carefully, there are already signs.
Oda Nobunaga ignored Takenaka Shigeharu back then, and because of Takenaka Shigeharu's arrogant temperament, he felt humiliated. In the future, he would naturally make the Oda family unable to reach him in order to vent his hatred.
She resolutely refused Oda Nobunaga's solicitation and followed her to do a big business. She must have had the idea in her heart that she would replace him.
Hideyoshi Hashiba always shouted hard work and struggle, but she never thought where her end point would be.
In Takenaka Shigeharu's mind, the end point had already been set. Only the great cause of the world is worthy of Takenaka Shigeharu, a genius strategist, willing to assist him.
Hideyoshi Hashiba's heart turned over and over again.
No wonder Takenaka Shigeharu couldn't help laughing when he heard about his resentment towards Oda Nobunaga. Takenaka Shigeharu may have long disliked his awe of Oda Nobunaga.
Hideyoshi Hashiba whispered.
"Don't you think I'm a little wishful thinking? I'm just a servant, and it's a blessing to be here today.
But I push myself further and want more. I want him, I dream of being his woman! "
Takenaka Shigeharu said.
"A good daughter has her ambitions everywhere, and a hero does not care where she comes from. If one day, she can really achieve great things.
What's wrong with waking up to hold the power of the world and lying drunk on the knees of a beautiful woman? "
Hideyoshi Hashiba felt excited after hearing this, and felt that this goal was too illusory.
Before, she only had a vague dream of marrying Shiba Yiyin, driving her ambition to make progress. But Takenaka Shigeharu told her, in this world, you can also think about it.
Can a servant and a commoner become a member of the world in the strict class society of the Wu family? This is simply it. . He was so determined that Hideyoshi Hashiba didn't even dare to think about it.
Hashiba Hideyoshi hesitated and said softly.
"There are so many talented people in this hall, but I am so virtuous and capable that I dare to compete with them."
Takenaka Shigeharu knew that Hashiba Hideyoshi was moved, she said in a deep voice.
"The Great Hall is an unprecedented genius, but it's a pity that he has a violent temper, is too eager for quick success, and only uses force.
Reforming the military system, changing territories, and promoting civilians, what kind of things didn't severely hit the pain points of the military class?
I dare to say that if you end up in the palace, you will definitely die a bad death.
The Wu family has conquered the world for five hundred years and is deeply rooted. Even if the Wu family's world building is about to collapse, those who demolish the walls will inevitably be buried with them.
What you need to consider is not the main hall, but the future without the main hall. "
Hashiba Hideyoshi's eyes flickered and he couldn't help but nodded slightly.
From the beginning of the Genpei War, the samurai group gradually grasped power, until Ashikaga Yoshimitsu massacred the emperor's court, the world has long been dominated by the samurai family.
Qin Shihuang was so powerful that he swallowed up all the princes for two weeks and was also a remnant of the Sixth Dynasty.
Oda Nobunaga holds high the banner of innovation and spreads his power across the world. Even if he makes a fuss for a while, what can he do?
The Wu family group is the master of the world, and the shoguns of the past generations are just the spokespersons promoted by the Wu family group.
Oda Nobunaga wanted to tame the samurai families all over the world by himself, and even mixed in the samurai clan to check and balance the samurai group, so that civilians could get involved in the military privileges of the samurai family. This was a way to seek death.
Takenaka Shigeharu has made it very clear.
It doesn't matter to the Wu Family Group who the world belongs to in the end. But Oda Nobunaga and her innovative policies must die. The absence of Oda Nobunaga is very important to the Samurai Group.
Hashiba Hideyoshi does not need to worry about Oda Nobunaga, what she wants to grasp is the future after Oda Nobunaga's death.
Hashiba Hideyoshi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said.
"what should I do?"
Takenaka Shigeharu smiled.
"Didn't we agree a long time ago? Leave Owari Mino, take root in Konji, and develop westward.
Owari Mino's Oda Laochen was complacent, and most people no longer had the ambition to make progress and just wanted to enjoy their prosperity.
But the main hall will not allow them to be lazy. If the Oda family wants to continue to develop, it must rely on newcomers to spur these lazy old people.
The main hall will inevitably absorb a large number of recent samurai families and redistribute power in the Oda family.
You are from a humble background, and the Owari Mino warriors will not take you seriously.
In recent years, the samurai family were the latecomers conquered by the Oda family. They were also looked down upon by the Owari Mino samurai family, and they also needed to hug together for warmth.
If you can make great achievements in recent years and be reused by the main hall, you can win over recent martial arts families for your own use.
When the main hall dies from the backlash, you will be qualified to lead a new faction to compete with the old people of Owari Mino for the inheritance of the Oda family.
With the power of the main hall, the Oda family developed to that time, and it was not just the two million koku now.
If you can acquire this legacy of the Oda family, you will be able to conquer the world. "
Hashiba Hideyoshi nodded slightly and suddenly said something.
"What if the main hall doesn't die..."
Takenaka Shigeharu chuckled.
"Not dead? How could she not die?
The foreign vassals were afraid that her innovation would lead to the loss of the inherited family business. The ministers are also afraid of her taking away everything. No amount of merit is enough for her to take away at will. "
Takenaka Shigeharu looked deeply at Hideyoshi Hideyoshi, leaned into her ear and said.
"Even you, by then, won't you be looking forward to her death day and night?
Thousands of women pointed out that they died without illness.
When the time comes, all it takes is a small flame and everyone will be rushing to throw firewood on the fire.
Do you think she will die or not? "
Hashiba Hideyoshi raised his head and closed his eyes for a long time before letting out a long sigh. When she opened her eyes again, she had regained her former fighting spirit.
She said energetically.
"Takenaka-hime, yesterday I went to Tofukuji Temple to report to the main hall, and happened to meet the Odaisho.
After the two met, the main hall ordered me to temporarily stop all military operations involved in the chaos in Kyoto. "
Takenaka Shigeharu nodded and said.
"Even so, we must be prepared and not slack off. In case of unexpected changes, we will not be in a hurry."
Hideyoshi Hashiba nodded in agreement.
The two of them concentrated on their work, seeming to have forgotten the exchange just now, and concentrated on being loyal ministers and good generals of the Oda family.
