Yoshigan, who originally wanted to do things casually, became serious because of Hojo Ushimasa's candid comments.
he laughed.
"If His Highness Uesugi hadn't come out of nowhere, the famous local families such as Satomi, Utsunomiya, and Satake would indeed be no match for the Hojo family."
Yoshigan's praise of Terutora Uesugi made the Hojo family feel uneasy politically, she said coldly.
"His Royal Highness Uesugi is headstrong and self-willed. He can be called a good general, but not a wise king. The country of Echigo is divided into pieces, and it can be called a small Warring States Period.
The old guardian ministers were dissatisfied with their mouths and hearts, and all the people who went down to Yueyangbei were dissatisfied with their mouths and hearts. Even His Highness Uesugi's own subordinates are only a loose alliance led by the Fuchu Nagao family and the Ueda Nagao family.
She was able to suppress the Echigo Kingdom only by relying on her own military strategy and the strength of the Nagao clan. The force was tyrannical for a while, but it could not make people surrender and maintain long-term peace. "
Yoshigan, who had been enjoying listening to Hojo Umasa scolding others before, now looked ugly.
Uesugi Teruhora did have many shortcomings, but she was also Yoshigage's own woman. How could she tolerate being belittled and ridiculed by outsiders, not to mention that the other party was the Hojo family who was tit-for-tat with the Echigo forces.
Yiyin said solemnly.
"Your Highness Hojo, please pay attention to your attitude.
His Highness Uesugi inherited the name of the Yamauchi Uesugi family and the position of Kanto Governor. He was the superior recognized by the Shogun and canonized by the Kanto Shogun.
He led his troops south to bring order to the chaos, which indeed caused heavy losses to the Hojo family, but this should not be the reason for you to slander your Majesty.
If the Uesugi family is really as unbearable as you say, what does the Hojo family mean after being defeated by them? "
When the Hojo clan saw Yoshigan defending Terutora Uesugi, he couldn't suppress the sadness in his heart.
She knew clearly that Uesugi Hojo had formed an alliance and she should not speak ill of Uesugi Teruatora in front of Yoshigan, but she still couldn't hold it back and retorted.
“Without Tsuta-don’s wholehearted support, helping His Highness Uesugi to pacify and straighten out the Echigo Kingdom, and conquer and pacify the Echigo and Shinano Kingdoms, how could His Highness Uesugi be as comfortable as he is today?
Even if you can win for a while with just your bravery, you will not be able to gain a foothold in the complex Guanbazhou area. In the end, you will have to run around trying to put out fires.
Just a single woman! "
Yoshigan stood up in anger, looked at Hojo Ushimasa, and scolded.
"Your Highness Hojo, are you asking for an audience today just to slander His Highness Uesugi in front of me?
If that's the case, then let's end this meeting! "
Hojo Umasa stared at Yoshigan blankly, and then realized that he was blinded by jealousy, and quickly stood up and bowed to apologize.
"I'm very sorry. I lost my temper."
Yoshigami reluctantly nodded and sat down. He still couldn't figure it out. What was the Hojo clan doing?
From the beginning of the meeting to the present, she didn't mention any serious matters, just rambled on, and even violently attacked Uesugi Teruhu. It didn't look like she was here to seek peace, but rather like she was here to provoke.
Hojo Umasa also knew that she was in the wrong, but she didn't complain. She asked again when the two of them sat down just now.
"I have made many comments, and I also have some doubts that I would like to ask Tsudo-dono to clear up. I would like to ask you what do you think of His Majesty Takeda?"
After saying that, Hojo Umasa looked at Yoshigan nervously, very concerned about this issue.
Yiyin held up the tea soup in front of him with both hands, pondered for a while, and said.
"His Majesty Takeda is full of wisdom and plans, and he always has a plan in mind before starting a war. He is a powerful person.
It's a pity that Kai Kingdom is small and weak, and it is already the limit to win Shinano Kingdom through disintegration. At this moment, she reluctantly swallowed the Suruga Kingdom. It seemed like a good thing, but she was actually asking for trouble.
The mountain people are xenophobic, and the conflict between the Kai clan and the Shinano clan is difficult to deal with. Suruga is rich, and the Suruga clan looks down on the rudeness of the samurai in the mountains.
There are many contradictions within the Takeda retainers group. Even though His Highness Takeda is extremely resourceful, he has no good way to balance them and can only export the contradictions to the outside world.
However, the Kai people are small and exclusive and the Takeda family occupies more land, and the conflict between the Xindi samurai family and the Kai people will become more intense.
Without external expansion, internal conflicts cannot be resolved. With external expansion, conflicts will become more and more intense, and His Highness Takeda is helpless.
The Takeda family has embarked on a road of no return, but it is also a dead end that most of the military daimyo have to take, and there is nothing they can do about it.
I admire your mother, His Highness Hojo Ujiyasu. Kanto has always been xenophobic, and she has made great contributions to the Hojo family being able to establish themselves as outsiders in this corner of Kanto.
If she hadn't sorted out internal affairs, reformed the tax system, and won over the people, the Hojo family would never be as strong as it is today. "
Hojo Umasa spoke frankly and politely, and Yoshigami didn't hide anything and told the truth.
He not only pointed out the hidden dangers of the Takeda family, but also secretly insulted Hojo Umasa, saying that she was not as good as her mother, which was regarded as revenge for Uesugi Teruhora being belittled.
However, Hojo Umasa didn't seem to feel the irony in Yoshigami's words, and asked confusedly.
"Don't you hate her?"
"Forehead?"
Yoshigan was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Hojo Ushimasa meant. Who did he hate? Takeda Shingen or Hojo Ujiyasu?
Hojo Umasa gritted his teeth and repeated.
"Don't you hate Takeda Shingen?"
Yoshigan glanced at her, wondering why she called Takeda Shingen by his first name.
The Wu family attaches great importance to etiquette. Even if the two sides kill each other with corpses everywhere, there will be no flaws in the etiquette, lest they be laughed at by outsiders as being unruly.
Yoshigan couldn't help but frown, thinking, has the conflict between the Takeda family and the Hojo family become so intense? Don't you even care about basic decency?
But he still answered Hojo Ushimasa's question and said in a deep voice.
"What's the point of hating or not hating? In a troubled world, people are like grass. Who can distinguish right from wrong?
During the battle on Kawanakajima, I killed many important officials of the Takeda family. Even Takeda Nobushige, the most powerful sister of His Highness Takeda, was beheaded by our formation.
According to you, shouldn't she hate me?
I was born in the Shiba clan, but I watched helplessly as I was one of the three shogunate leaders and had guarded the two wealthy territories of Echizen and Owari.
To be honest, the ups and downs I have experienced are hundreds of times better than yours, Your Highness Hojo.
When the sea is flowing, heroes will show their true colors. The hardships of the past did not knock me down, they only made me stronger and more determined on my own path.
I am a duckweed in troubled times, I can't bear to watch the flames of war burning mountains and rivers, and I never forget to worry about the world, even if no one can understand me.
I only hate that the world is in turmoil, and Warrior Ji has been reduced to a beast, and that the world is full of smoke and righteousness. "
Hojo Umasa looked at Yoshigan with a solemn expression, and he was a little crazy.
In her imagination, if she asked about Takeda Shingen. Having had such an unbearable humiliating experience, Shiba Yiyin either avoided talking about it or hated it deeply.
But Hojo Ushimasa never expected that Yoshigami in front of him seemed not to care at all about the tragic things that had happened to him.
His eyes pitied the common people, and his heart was filled with the desire to restore peace to the world. He complained about the injustice of the people in the world, but he forgot the suffering he had suffered.
Looking at Yoshigan's innocent and handsome face, Hojo Ushimasa couldn't help but feel ashamed. Compared with Yiyin's lofty ambitions, he is like a frog at the bottom of a well.
Only such a peerless figure would have the extraordinary magnanimity to delegate power and build peace with the Guan Bazhou martial arts family.
Who says men are inferior to women? Shiba Yiyin, this extraordinary man of the samurai family, really makes the world's warriors ashamed.
Hojo Umasa swallowed. At this time, she lowered her head slightly. Yoshigan seemed to be the sun, so dazzling that she couldn't look directly at it.
There was a bitter taste on the tip of her tongue as she asked the last question that she wanted to know the most.
"What about me? What do you think of me?"
Hojo Umasa plucked up the courage and looked at Yoshigami again. She was a little flustered, a little inferior, and a little expectant.
She had suffered such a miserable defeat under Sano, and even now that she was sitting in the position of family governor, she could feel the distrustful eyes of the retainers.
And all of this was given by Bai Sibo Yiyin. Hojo Umasa never thought that she lost to Uesugi Teruhora. In her heart, she lost to Shiba Yoshigan.
Without Yoshigan Shiba, Terutora Uesugi would never have been able to make the Hojo family so embarrassed and forced to surrender.
As she just said, the problems within Echigo are not small. If it hadn't been for the help of Shiba Yoshigan, Uesugi Teruhu would have been unable to succeed even if he came fiercely, and he would never be a match for the Hojo family.
It was Shiba Yiyin who changed the situation in Kanto and reestablished order in Kanto.
But these are not important anymore. Hojo Ushimasa only wants an answer in his heart, how does Shiba Yoshigan view his defeated general.
Hojo Umasa once hated Shiba Yoshigan so much that he couldn't sleep. In order to defeat this terrible enemy, Hojo Umasa desperately tried to understand him, but was moved by his past and gained a little more respect.
It wasn't until he saw him at Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine that he moved his ancestors and granted him a white flag. In his heart, Hojo Umasa gradually forgot about his hatred and became filled with admiration, and even developed feelings of inferiority.
Who in the world can be worthy of such a man? Can I?
Yoshigan was a little confused. He could feel that Hojo Ushimasa was very concerned about the answer, and there was an inexplicable desire in his eyes.
What should I say? Yiyin is a little embarrassed.
To put it nicely, it was so fake and seemed so insincere at this moment. Compared to the pressure that Hojo Ujiyasu brought to Yoshibank, Hojo Ushimasa was nothing.
But if he told the truth, Yiyin was worried that she would become angry. It seems that Hojo Ushimasa cares about his evaluation of her. This defeated general really wants to save face.
Yiyin thought for a while and said.
"I envy you very much, Hojo-sama."
Hojo Umasa was stunned and couldn't help but repeat.
"Envy me?"
Yiyin nodded and smiled.
"My mother is a pretty useless guy. She obviously has no ability, but she is very troublesome.
My grandmother finally managed to suppress the Oda family, but due to my mother's mistakes, the Shiba family completely lost the authority to protect Owari.
But such a mediocre and incompetent family governor is actually a good mother.
She always thinks of me and describes a bright future to me. Tell me that she will definitely help me find a good wife so that I can live a happy life.
Your Highness Hojo, I envy you very much, because your mother is a powerful person, so powerful that she made me suffer a lot, and I still have lingering fears.
I sometimes think that if my mother could be so powerful, maybe my life would be different. "
Hojo Ushimasa smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"She is a good mother, but I am not a good daughter. My abilities are far inferior to hers."
Yiyin shook his head.
"If the Sibo clan had not been exterminated, and if we had not experienced so many hardships and hardships, I would have been an ignorant and talentless young master, and I would not have had so many opportunities to experience life and death dilemmas.
Your Highness Hojo, do you know? In fact, not being as capable as your parents is not a kind of sadness, but a kind of happiness. "
Yoshigami racked his brains and went around in circles, and although he pointed out that Hojo Umasa's ability was average, it was covered up in family affection and not obvious.
It's not that your Hojo clan's political ability is poor, it's just that your mother is too awesome and you haven't had the chance to experience it.
He was even a little smug, a man's mouth was a liar, and he was getting better and better at talking.
But he didn't know that the past events of Shiba that he mentioned as a backdrop made Hojo Ushimasa's heart go up and down.
Hojo Ushimasa smiled because she found that Yoshigoshi Shiba was really a good man. He spoke carefully, not wanting to hurt himself. He was so gentle.
But her smile only stayed at the corner of her mouth for a moment, and then froze.
Yiyin's seemingly casual words reminded her of the pain that the sweetheart in front of her had experienced. It was by no means as easy as what he said lightly.
His family was ruined, he avenged his mother, he went to Luo to revive, and he traveled to Guandong.
Strong winds and waves that are enough to destroy a woman hit this young man again and again, but he remains unyielding and uses his young shoulders to support Spo's rejuvenated family business.
Why would anyone want to hurt such a man and humiliate him? Hojo Umasa suddenly understood what Uesugi Teruhora was thinking. Takeda Shingen really deserves to die!
Takeda Shingen, you beast, do you know what you did? You humiliated and hurt the most pure and innocent young man in the world, and you even proudly left behind a scoundrel!
Why didn’t Terutora Uesugi tell the truth about Takeda’s daughter? Why would Teru Uesugi give up his dignity and join forces with the Hojo family to deal with Takeda Shingen? Hojo Ujimasa understood it at this time.
Hojo Umasa looked at Yoshigami's handsome side face and already made a decision in his heart. She will not tell Yoshigin about the existence of Takeda's daughter.
Life has given you too much suffering, please allow me to bear some of it for you. Takeda Shingen must die, and the evil descendants of the Takeda family must be eliminated!
Hojo Umasa's gentle eyes on Yoshigami always made him feel a little restless.
Yoshigan still doesn't understand, what does Hojo Umasa want in today's meeting? This guy is so chatty, so weird!
Just when Yoshigan was confused, Hojo Ushimasa suddenly stood up, bowed deeply to him, and said.
"I am honored to be received by Tsuta-den, Qingmei makes tea and comments on the concubines of Kanto. I am deeply honored.
It's getting late, and I have to return to Odawara Castle today, so I'll take my leave first. "
Hojo Ujimasa's worries were over, so he said goodbye. She was determined to hide the story of Takeda's daughter, and felt that she had no face to face Yoshigami, so she might as well go back early.
Yiyin was a little confused. Is this the end?
He hesitated for a moment, but Ujimasa Hojo had already walked out of the tea room after bowing, and walked far away in a hurry.
Yiyin stood up quickly and shouted.
"Your Highness Hojo, don't you want to ask anything else?"
Hojo Umasa looked back and smiled.
"No matter what Tsutado-don thinks, the alliance between the Uesugi family and the Hojo family will be unbreakable."
She silently added something in her mind before killing Takeda Shingen.
Seeing Yoshigin's depressed and naive expression, Hojo Ushimasa couldn't help laughing. I really want to touch your face, I really want to tell you, me. .
Hojo Umasa bowed again, then walked away without looking back.
Autumn is coming, the cool breeze is blowing, and my daughter's heart is as strong as iron. If you don't see the red leaves all over the river, there will be blood in Li Ren's eyes.
