That night, the bloodless and tearless devil turned into a woman with blood and tears, and a trace of weakness appeared in her unswerving utilitarianism.
Oda Nobunaga lay in Yoshigan's arms, sleeping soundly, sleeping peacefully like a child.
In the dream, she was no longer a wild child without a mother, but a real woman that Yiyin was proud of.
With feelings and concerns, Oda Nobunaga is no longer the invincible devil with no weaknesses, but an ordinary Hime samurai who can be plotted and killed.
But even though he understood that he had the weaknesses of a mortal, the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven was still unwilling to give up his feelings for Shiba Yiyin.
If fate destined her to die because of this, she would also die with her love for Shiba Yiyin.
At this moment, she was so happy and no longer confused.
———
The next day.
In the meeting hall of Fushimi Castle, the samurai warriors of the Shiba Oda family were sitting on the left and right sides of the hall.
Above the main hall, Yiyin sat in the main seat.
Under the seats were famous people from both inside and outside the shogunate who came to watch the ceremony, such as Hatakeyama Takamasa, Hosokawa Fujitaka, and Ninagawa Akira. As well as the powerful samurai themselves or their envoys from various places in recent times, such as Hatano, Araki, and Isono.
At this time, everyone bowed their heads towards Yiyin, but their eyes couldn't help but glance outside the hall.
Although they had already received the news, no one could be truly sure until they saw Oda Nobunaga surrendering with their own eyes.
The conditions offered by the Shiba family were very good, and almost all the interests of the Oda family before the war were returned, but everyone was still unsure whether Oda Nobunaga would lower her head for these benefits.
Oda Nobunaga was the Sixth Heavenly Demon King cursed by the Tendai Sect day and night, the royal mother hated by General Ashikaga, and single-handedly suppressed the most powerful feudal overlord in the world in recent times.
That Oda Nobunaga, will she finally fall at the feet of the saint and be tamed by him?
Everyone was hesitant in their hearts, quietly waiting for the arrival of a good time.
Unlike the restless samurai under him, Yoshigan was sure that Oda Nobunaga would bow down to him.
To be precise, Oda Nobunaga had knelt down last night, and he licked her so hard and sincerely that Yoshigin's soul almost came out.
Until now, Yiyin's spirit is still a little dazed.
Although the eternal sixteen-year-old halo enveloped him, ensuring that his body was fixed in the best condition of a sixteen-year-old boy.
But the human body and spirit are not consistent. Sometimes the body is not tired, but it does not mean that the spirit will not be tired.
Yoshigan's spirit is very tired now. Last night, Oda Nobunaga played hard first and then soft, which made him too tired after being excited.
Now that he is sitting in the main seat without yawning, it is already very hard for him to endure.
Everyone present was carefully observing his expression, which made him unable to even twist his waist a little to relax his groaning waist.
Yiyin, who was sitting solemnly on the main seat like a divine statue, was wailing in his heart.
Why haven't you come yet? Why isn't it over yet? I'm so tired and want to go back to sleep.
Just when Yoshiyin was tired until he fell asleep, the sound of Taiko drums suddenly came from outside, which refreshed him.
In the tradition of the island country, the sound of taiko drums has the meaning of exorcising evil spirits and welcoming gods. This is the prelude to Oda Nobunaga’s audience.
The sound of three waves of taiko drums came from far away, and then there was a sound of footsteps on the porch. The Oda Princess warriors sitting in the hall kowtowed to the ground together, and then Oda Nobunaga appeared outside the door.
Today, Oda Nobunaga looked solemn and bowed deeply outside the door.
All the eyes of the martial arts family under Yi Gin were cast on her, but she turned a blind eye.
Oda Nobunaga straightened up, and there was only one person in his eyes, and that was Yoshigoshi sitting on the main seat.
Yiyin saw that she was radiant after working all night last night, and couldn't help curling her lips. Sure enough, there were only exhausted cows and no damaged land.
This micro-expression was caught by Oda Nobunaga, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.
On this solemn occasion, the two of them secretly exchanged some radio waves like a couple, feeling extremely excited in their hearts.
Oda Nobunaga strode into the hall, without hesitation he knelt down in front of Yoshigan, then kowtowed to the ground.
"Foreign minister Oda Nobunaga has met the saint."
Her words of saint made everyone present relax. As long as Oda Nobunaga recognized Yoshigami's identity as a living god, everything else was just trivial.
Yiyin said with a smile.
"Your Majesty Oda, no courtesy. It's been a hard journey."
Oda Nobunaga said solemnly.
"Meeting the saint is as sweet as sugar, so why bother?"
Yiyin nodded.
"Very good.
Although His Majesty Oda was reckless in his policies, his original intention was still good, but there were some mistakes in the execution process.
As long as His Majesty Oda can uphold the righteousness of the martial arts in the future and always keep the safety of the martial arts and the world at heart, he will be an outstanding martial artist. "
Oda Nobunaga bowed.
"A saint is kind, how can a foreign minister be ignorant of good and evil? Looking back on my actions over the years, I break out in a cold sweat every time I think deeply about it. I really regret it.
The world belongs to the Wu family, and it is the Wu family's responsibility to uphold the justice of the Wu family.
The sage's teachings were so enlightening that they made foreign ministers extremely ashamed and dared not forget them again. I am willing to write a letter of repentance, express my feelings to the saint, and vow to fight for the righteousness of the Wu family throughout my life.
It's just that governing a big country is like cooking a small dish. The three and a half million koku of the Oda Domain has now become a burden that is hard to come back from. Please give me some time, the sage, to slowly correct the mistakes I have made. "
Yiyin nodded.
“If you know your mistakes and can correct them, there is no greater good.
If His Majesty Oda is repentant, I will naturally be tolerant and allow you to slowly change your ways. "
The two people who had the conversation knew clearly that Oda Nobunaga would not change those reform policies at all.
Those policies are the basis for the Oda family to strengthen its army. Before conquering the entire world, Oda Nobunaga will only intensify his efforts and will never change the current trend of centralization.
But does Yiyin care? He doesn't care. When he broke up with the Oda family, Yoshigami wanted to protect his children.
Now that Yoshigan's divine authority has been initially established and has been recognized by various daimyo in the Kanto region, especially the Oda family, his children have become divine descendants and their safety is guaranteed.
The satisfied Yiyin has now broken away from the low-level taste of martial arts politics and moved towards the high-level pursuit of theocratic rule.
Oda Nobunaga's iron-fisted centralization of power will only push more conservative samurai to Yoshigan's side. Why should he oppose it?
In the process of conquering the world, Oda Nobunaga was responsible for playing the bad side, and Shiba Yoshigan was responsible for playing the good side.
One end is hard and the other is soft, so that the unconvinced Wu family will finally be beaten to the point of bowing their heads and admitting defeat, and the world will be peaceful.
Yoshigan was happy to let Oda Nobunaga continue to be the bad guy, and he followed behind to be the good guy, taking advantage and winning people's hearts.
Secular rulers feared losing power to local lords, but the same did not apply to theocratic rulers.
Yiyin's own sporadic generation itself was broken, and he never had the ability to control the place through secular means.
He now wants to use divine power and divine descendants to infiltrate the place. Instead of using violence to invade, it would be more effective to use Gil to invade.
Therefore, Yiyin and Oda Nobunaga have reached a tacit understanding on the matter of innovation, each getting what they need.
Yoshigan acquiesced in Oda Nobunaga's continued radical innovation, which would help him absorb conservative martial arts and further become the spiritual leader of the conservatives.
And Oda Nobunaga can expand his power as quickly as possible through violent innovation, in order to change from quantitative to qualitative changes, and finally have the strength to intimidate other Hime warriors around Yoshigami, becoming his only one.
Both parties are satisfied, which is called a win-win situation.
