Fanjun has not given birth to a daughter for many years, and Kai-kun has caused such a disaster again today.
Narita Chotasu already had enough reasons to confidently propose a separation, and Yura Kunushige had nothing to say.
Just as the thoughts in Narita Chotae's mind were spinning rapidly, Kai-kun seemed to feel something. Under Narita Chotae's increasingly sharp gaze, he couldn't help but tremble.
Yoshigan pulled Kai-kun behind him, blocked Narita Chotae's gaze with his own body, and then glanced at Shige-kun, whose face was ashen.
He couldn't help but shake his head, what's this? He originally thought that he came to Ninja City to support the father and son, but he didn't expect that this naughty boy was really cheating.
Yoshigami glanced at Kai-kun. He seemed to have realized that he had made a big mistake, and his face turned pale. Yiyin pinched his little face dotingly and said.
"Okay, go and tell Hojo Ushimasa that I'll be waiting for her in the tea room.
Narita-hime, do you mind if I lend you the tea room in your residence to meet guests? "
Narita Chotae was stunned. She never expected that Yoshigan Shiba would so readily agree to meet with Hojo Ushimasa. Judging from his expression, there didn't seem to be any displeasure.
The look Narita Chotae looked at Kai-kun became a little different again.
Shigeki-kun went to Kinzan Castle to visit relatives, and when he came back he said that Shiba Yoshiyin liked Kai-kun very much and even recognized him as his adopted son.
Narita Nagata didn't care in her heart. She always thought that this was Yoshihiro Shiba's political means to win over the Yura family and the Narita family.
After all, the two powerful samurai of Ueno and Musashi, who were mixed between the two forces of Uesugi and Hojo, were still neutrals with considerable utilization value.
But at this time, her mind changed a little.
Yoshigan Shiba seems to really like Kai-kun, and in order to redeem the kid's mistake, he is actually willing to meet with Hojo Ushimasa.
Shigejun was far more excited than Narita Chotae. He had just walked back and forth in the abyss of heaven. His back was soaked through and his whole body was weak.
Seeing that the situation had turned around, his eyes were a little moist and he felt like crying.
Yoshigan patted Kai-kun on the head and pushed him in Shige-kun's direction.
Kai-kun was so clever that he ran to his father's side and pulled his sleeve to pretend to be pitiful. He had obviously realized that he had done something stupid, and resorted to his old method of getting out of trouble, pretending to be pitiful.
But this time, his father did not punish him, but hugged him tightly and refused to let go.
Kai-kun was in a daze. He reached out and wiped his father's cheek and said softly.
"Father, are you crying? I know I was wrong, and I will be obedient in the future."
Fanjun suppressed his voice and did not dare to cry. Only tears were flowing down. He looked at Yiyin with grateful eyes, even though his vision was blurry, he murmured.
"You kid, you really scare me to death. You kid, you are such a blessing.
From now on, you must honor your adoptive father, you know? Your adoptive father, he treats you really well. "
Yiyin smiled and walked past their father and son, not wanting to see Fanjun cry so embarrassingly.
In fact, Yiyin will change his mind, Kai-kun is just a promoter. He always avoided seeing people from the Hojo family, which was not an option.
In Oda Castle, Oda Ujiharu is already helping the Hojo family to take the front line. That guy Hojo Ushimasa actually wants to join the United Front and participate in the big review.
With the background of the Hojo family, the process of wooing the United Front and applying for the Grand Council will definitely be a smooth success. Unless the Bank of America hints at the use of veto power by the three standing elders, that is not necessary.
After all, the Hojo family's influence in the eight states of Kanto is so strong. Whatever the Kanto Palace Council wants to do, the Hojo family's influence cannot be circumvented.
Since there is no way around it, why do we need to get it done?
But when he thought that Hojo Ujimasa could participate in the grand review through his status as a United Front member, and might even take turns to serve as a non-permanent member of the standing council, Yoshihiro couldn't laugh or cry.
What position does he have now, blaming Uesugi Teruhu for his alliance with the Hojo family? He had gone even further than Uesugi Teruhora, and even Hojo Umasa had infiltrated the leadership of the Kanto Palace, leaving people speechless.
Since Hojo Ushimasa will definitely join the Grand Council, sooner or later Yoshigan will have a formal meeting with the Hojo family. Kai-kun's accident also gave Yi Gin a step down.
It’s better to choose a day than to hit it, so let’s do it today.
He walked up to Narita Chotai, who was still a little dazed and had not yet come to his senses.
"Narita-hime?"
Narita Chotai's body was shaken and he quickly bowed and said.
"Please wait a moment, Tsuta-don, I'll have the tea room ready right away!
I'm very sorry about His Highness Hojo being in Ninja Castle. . "
Yiyin shook his head and interrupted her.
"It's hard to be petty between the two. I don't blame you. Besides, this matter is what I promised Kai-kun, and it has nothing to do with you.
Just go and prepare the tea room with peace of mind, and then ask Kai-kun to invite someone to see me. You can't let her spend two boxes of Tang Guozi in vain, can you?
I'll go back indoors and take a rest first, while you go get ready. "
Yiyin joked, then slowly walked away, followed by all the concubines.
Narita Nagata bowed to say goodbye, and waited for Yoshigan to disappear in the courtyard before he raised his head and said to his daughter Narita Nagata.
"Send someone to do it quickly!"
Mr. Narita nodded and was about to leave, but was stopped by his mother again. Narita Chotai tapped Shigejun and Kai-kun with his hand and said solemnly.
"Let Kai-kun invite His Highness Hojo, and be more careful with Shige-kun in the future. I will tell the retainers to shut up about the separation and marriage."
Mr. Narita nodded silently and walked towards his husband and children.
She is not a heartless and bad wife, but the retainers have been pressuring her, and as the heir to the Narita family, she is under great pressure. Now that her mother was the guarantor, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Narita Nagata would say this, he just made the choice that was most beneficial to the Narita family.
Yoshigan Shiba is now becoming more and more powerful in Kanto. It is a great blessing for the children of the Narita family in Ninja City to be favored by him, and they must be cherished.
The fact that a daughter cannot give birth to a granddaughter can no longer be used as a reason for divorce. If Yoshigan Shiba was offended by this, the Narita family of Ninjo Castle would feel guilty, and the Ohta family of Iwafusuke Castle would not dare to become associated with the Narita clan leader.
In this case, we can only hope that Narita clan leader and Shigejun-kun can give birth to a daughter. If that doesn't work, then let Narita Chota's own sisters and second daughters inherit the family business.
In short, Kai-kun became the fragrant steamed bun of the Narita family in Ninja Castle, and his father Shige-kun was a chicken and dog ascending to heaven. With the great god Shiba Yoshigami standing behind Kai-kun, the Narita retainers had nothing to say.
———
In the tea room, Yoshigan Shiba sat at the main seat, Ujimasa Hojo took the second seat, and Nagayasu Narita sat at the bottom.
At this moment, the three of them were watching the tea performer together.
Narita Chotai learned a lot from the experience and did not dare to let Kai-kun, a naughty kid, accompany him to dinner at this time. If he said something that he shouldn't have said without knowing the importance of it, the Narita family in the Ninja Castle would not be able to bear it.
With the superintendent of the Shiba Hojo family here, Narita Choyasu also had to be careful to apologize and said with a smile.
"This man is the best tea master in the neighborhood. Although his skills are not as good as those of the great tea masters in prosperous places, he has a unique skill and is good at using green plums.
Green plums can be picked in mid-summer, but the best ripening period is at the beginning of autumn. It is indeed out of season at the moment, but the tea maker specially selected some late-ripening ones and boldly asked your two highnesses to taste them. "
Yiyin smiled.
"Green plum tea? I've never seen it before, but it sounds good."
Hojo Umasa has been secretly observing Yoshihiro. She hasn't seen her for a long time, but the beautiful woman's style remains the same, which makes her feel filled with emotions and she can't help but feel a little excited.
Not to mention green plum tea, just give her a glass of well water, and she will treat it like fine wine, and drink it to her heart's content.
The beauty is in front of you, you can eat it or drink it, she said cheerfully.
"What Tsutama said is absolutely correct."
Yoshigan didn't know that Hojo Ujimasa was distracted. While watching the tea ceremony, he was preparing for the next verbal confrontation with Hojo Ujimasa.
Hojo Ushimasa tried every means to meet him, and shamelessly led Kai-kun, a kid, into a ditch. Was it just to see him and have a cup of tea with him? impossible!
The three of them seemed to be watching the tea ceremony, but their expressions were different. The Hojo clan was in a daze, Yoshiyin was in a tight formation, and Narita Nagayasu was on pins and needles.
After finally waiting until the tea man presented the fragrant tea, Narita Chotai hurriedly led the tea man to bow and leave, leaving the place free to the two His Highnesses.
The sliding doors on all sides of the teahouse were wide open. The guarding Shiba Hojo warriors could see their masters in the distance, but they could not hear anything and would not disturb the conversation between the two masters.
The Narita family had already withdrawn from the vicinity of the teahouse and disappeared.
It has been a long time since the beginning of autumn, and the heat of autumn has gradually cooled down. The slight cool breeze carries the fragrance of green plum tea. Looking up from the teahouse, you can see the garden scenery in the courtyard, which is peaceful and peaceful.
Hojo Umasa and the man he admired were alone in the same room. He only wished that this moment would last forever, and silence was golden.
Yiyin waited for her for a long time, but she didn't speak. He couldn't help but feel a little strange. He picked up the tea soup and took a sip and asked.
"His Majesty Hojo tried so hard to meet with me, even taking advantage of children. Why is it that he has nothing to say at this time?"
Hojo Umasa looked ashamed and bowed.
"Tsinta-dono has a lot of people and affairs. I have sent Lord Hojo Genan to visit you several times, but I have never had the opportunity to see you.
This time I heard that you came back from Oda Castle and took a detour to visit your adopted son, so I came uninvited. It was really rude.
What happened to Mr. Kai, it was indeed me, Meng Lang, who frightened the child. I, the Hojo Ushimasa, owe this child a favor, and I would also like to ask Tsutadodon Kaihan. "
Yoshigan glanced at the sincere Hojo Umasa, nodded, and dismissed the matter.
With the current status of the Hojo family, the favor promised by Hojo Ushimasa himself is not light. Kai-kun was only slightly frightened, but he was able to exchange for this favor, which was indeed worth it.
Yiyin said.
"His Majesty Hojo asked me to meet you, why did you do it?"
Yoshigan knew in his heart that the Hojo family had always wanted to see him, just to confirm the reliability of the Xiangyue alliance. Since he agreed to meet, he was naturally prepared to see what Hojo Ushimasa said.
But Hojo Ushimasa's expression was a little strange. She slowly picked up her tea soup and then put it down slowly, as if she was full of thoughts.
When the two masters met and negotiated, her hesitation was really a loss. Yiyin is a little confused. What is going on with her?
After a while, Hojo Umasa seemed to have made up his mind and asked.
"I dare to ask Jinduodian, what do you think of the Kanto concubines?"
Yiyin was stunned and a little confused.
Hojo Umasa worked hard to seize the opportunity to meet him, but why didn't he get to the point and talk about something?
But it was this unknown weirdness that made Yiyin more cautious and asked carefully.
"Why did His Highness Hojo say this?"
Hojo Ushimasa said with a sincere expression.
"Qingmei is in front of me. I suddenly remembered the story of the Three Kingdoms. With my heart surging, I would like to ask Jindoden to comment."
Yiyin was speechless, looking at the green plum tea in front of him, and couldn't help laughing.
This Hojo clan politics is a bit interesting. I want to learn from Cao Cao and Liu Bei and discuss heroes over wine. Do you want to discuss heroes with me over green plum tea? This question is interesting, so which of the two is Liu Bei? Who is Cao Cao?
How could Hojo Ujizheng be as complicated as Yoshigan thought? She used Ome as an example to hide her true thoughts.
She wanted to know how Yoshigage viewed Takeda Shingen, who had humiliated him, and Uesugi Terutora, who was obsessed with and admired him, and so on. . How do you view yourself as a defeated general?
Until this time, Hojo Ushimasa was still hesitating whether to inform Yoshigami Shiba of his speculation about Takeda's daughter.
She didn't know what humiliating past Yiyin had encountered in Yantian City, let alone how Yiyin would react when she learned that she might have a child.
But she knew that she had a lot to say in her heart and it was really uncomfortable. She wanted to say it, but she didn't dare.
Yiyin thought for a while and said.
"Four generations of the Hojo family have been running the Kanto region, so they must be quite knowledgeable about the Kanto concubines. With His Highness Hojo at my side, I can't afford to show my shame."
Yoshihiro didn't know that the Hojo family was troubled by love. He was just wary of treating this meeting as a political confrontation.
He was unwilling to say anything more before he understood the purpose of Hojo Ujimasa.
A trace of disappointment flashed in Hojo Umasa's eyes and he smiled.
"Since Jindoden said so, let me first introduce some ideas and ask you to point out any mistakes."
Yiyin didn't expect her to be so persistent, so he nodded and asked.
"Kanto General Ashikaga Yoshiji, what do you think?"
Hojo Ushimasa really didn't like this former friend and traitor who turned against him after he was captured in the Battle of Sano.
She snorted coldly and said.
"She spends her days day and night, her appearance is fierce and her heart is weak, and she is not worth mentioning. If she had not been blessed by the blessings of the Kamakura Ashikaga family, how would she be worthy of a place in Kanto?"
Yoshigan did not expect that Hojo Ushimasa's evaluation would be so harsh and direct, leaving no face at all for the nominal supreme leader of Kanto.
He suddenly felt some real interest and asked again.
"Where are the Satomi, Utsunomiya, and Satake families? So what?"
Hojo Ushimasa said disdainfully.
"Satomi's heart is as high as the sky, and his life is as thin as paper. The Anbo Kingdom is weak. He has tried to unify the Boso Peninsula several times, but he has been unable to do so.
If His Highness Uesugi's army hadn't gone south, the Satomi family would have already asked for surrender from my Hojo family. Now being able to enjoy the dignity and harmony of the covenant is the best result.
The Utsunomiya family is short-sighted and trapped in the field. They only know how to wallow in the quagmire. It is useless to have an enterprising spirit but not the ability to make progress.
On the other hand, the Satake family is somewhat capable. The family governor, Satake Yoshige, is ambitious and capable, but it's a pity that she is too greedy.
The south is in trouble with my Hojo family, and the north is in trouble with the Date family. Without external help, the disadvantage of the two powerful forces from the north and the south would one day crush her to death. "
Hojo Ujimasa's few words reduced the three strongest daimyo in the eastern part of the Kanto Plain to nothing, but they sounded very reasonable.
If Echigo's army hadn't gone south and disrupted the strategic rhythm of the Hojo family, these local daimyo would really not have been a match for Hojo Ujiyasu.
