The atmosphere in the room was a bit dull. Uesugi Kenshin touched Miyuki's head, watching her little hands clumsily and laboriously playing with the rattle with doting eyes, and looked at the two important ministers.
"I originally thought that Uesugi Kagenobu would come with you."
Naoe Keizuna and Honjo Minoru were both trembling a little and sweating on their heads. The Uesugi Kagenobu whom Uesugi Kenshin was referring to was the governor of the Furushi Nagao clan and the leader of the Echigo Nagao clan.
Uesugi Kenshin of the Fuchu Nagao family inherited the Yamauchi Uesugi family. Fushi Nagao and Ueda Nagao, both of whom belong to the Echigo Nagao lineage, also ascended to heaven with the chickens and dogs, and the family governors were all given the name Uesugi Miao.
Uesugi Kagekatsu of the Ueda Nagao family is young, and Uesugi Kagenobu of the Furushi Nagao family is her successor, which is equivalent to the governor of both families.
In addition, Uesugi Kagenobu was the negotiator between the Echigo Nagao family and the Ueno Nagao family, and he also had considerable influence on the Nagao family and the Shirai Nagao family of Ueno Country.
Moreover, Uesugi Keishin's brother is Uesugi Kenshin's father, and there is an additional level of close relationship between the two.
Therefore, Uesugi Kenshin has always respected the old man Uesugi Keishin.
Naoe Keizuna and Honjo Minoru could tell from Uesugi Kenshin's words that Uesugi Kenshin knew their purpose of coming. They came to advise on behalf of the Gedome and Naoomi factions.
Therefore, Uesugi Kenshin would joke about why Uesugi Keishin, who was from the same school, did not come with them.
In fact, the reason is very simple, because Uesugi Keishin is scared.
In order to win over a man, Uesugi Kenshin gave away half of his family fortune and joined forces with Yoshihiro Shiba to govern Echigo. The Echigo samurai family were unruly and naturally disobedient, and some people took the opportunity to interfere.
Nagao Masaki took the lead in causing trouble and was killed mercilessly by Uesugi Kenshin. Usami Sadamitsu was innocent and forced to kill his son and commit suicide, and his family was exiled abroad.
Nagao Masakei of the Ueda Nagao family is married to Uesugi Kenshin's brother, and their relationship is closer than that of Uesugi Keishin. If Uesugi Kenshin says he will kill him, he will kill him. How can Uesugi Keiji not be afraid in his heart?
As long as it was related to the relationship between Uesugi Kenshin and Shiba Yoshigan, Uesugi Keishin never interfered. This was a kind of self-preservation wisdom.
The more the last three have a long tail, the relationship is complicated. The closer they are to each other, the more they need to know how to avoid suspicion.
Besides, Uesugi Kagenobu still has Uesugi Kagekatsu, who may inherit the Uesugi family business. What if Uesugi Kenshin misunderstands something, will Uesugi Kagenobu still be alive?
Uesugi Kenshin's few words frightened Naoe Keetsuna and Honjo Mino into silence, and they were cowering there unable to move forward or retreat.
Seeing their silence, Uesugi Kenshin smiled.
"You're already here, why don't you say anything?"
Naoe Keizuna bowed.
"Your Highness knows better than anyone else that I have nothing to say."
Honjo Minoru secretly cursed the old fox. The words were ambiguous and could not be wrong in any way.
Uesugi Kenshin didn't want to embarrass the two important ministers, so he just sighed quietly.
"Even you think I shouldn't fight, right?"
Honjo Minoru shook his head.
"Your Highness is extremely intelligent and has a bright future. We and other retainers are naturally overjoyed and will serve our Lord and Your Highness wholeheartedly.
But the saint has his own world in his heart, I think. . Think. . "
Honjo Minoru couldn't continue, Uesugi Kenshin sneered.
"You think I am overestimating my capabilities and want to coerce Sibo Yiyin into submission and force him to name my child as his heir?"
Benzhuang was so frightened that he fell to the ground and kowtowed.
"Your Majesty, I dare not make any assumptions! Please forgive me, Your Highness!"
Naoe Keizuna on the side sighed and said softly.
“The Kanto of today is no longer the Kanto of the past.
The Kanto General in Furukawa's territory became silent, as if he didn't exist. The powerful Lord of the Date family of Ou was so frightened by the saint that he went south alone to plead guilty. He passed by Echigo and didn't even know he came to pay homage to the Kanto governor.
All the martial arts families in the Kanto region have forgotten the Kanto system and only know the saints in their hearts.
Fortunately, His Highness, you have a unique vision and formed an unbreakable alliance with the saint early on, which is why the Uesugi family is the only one in Kanto today.
We, the retainers, admire you so much, Your Highness, that we dare not question your wise decision. It's just that I'm a dullard and not as wise as His Highness, so I beg Your Highness to give me some advice. "
Naoe Keizuna spoke nicely and flattered Uesugi all the time, praising Kenshin Uesugi for being so awesome. He had already selected the potential stock Yoshigoshi Shiba, and that was why the Uesugi family was enjoying the good life it is now.
But you can’t think about it carefully. The more you think about it, the less interesting it will be. It was only by joining forces with Shiba Yiyin that we had today's good life, so if we broke up with Shiba Yiyin, wouldn't the good days come to an end?
Having said that, it is still a warning.
Kenshin Uesugi looked down at Miyuki and said helplessly.
"Who wants to break up with him? What are you afraid of?
Do you understand the saint's personality, or do I, the Ji warrior who slept with him and gave birth to a divine descendant, understand his thoughts better? "
The two important ministers looked at each other. Uesugi Kenshin was so dishonest, who dared to refute him? After all, none of Uesugi's retainers had ever slept with a saint, and they didn't dare to have such fatal thoughts.
Kenshin Uesugi continued.
“After the bloody battle on Kawanakajima, the saint was in trouble and suffered humiliation, which gave Takeda Shingen the opportunity to bear the seed of shame.
But the saint was so soft-hearted that he was willing to go to war with Oda Nobunaga and fight a decisive battle involving 200,000 people for the sake of the child who should not have been born.
How many times have there been wars on this scale since ancient times? That's why he, a loving father, would waste his family like this, for a bastard. .
Don't look at me like that, I know, forget it, the blood of saints should not be insulted, so don't mention it.
Oda Nobunaga also lost unjustly. Who would have thought that the saint would go crazy for that child? "
The two important ministers nodded repeatedly, this is the reason.
The saint's family members all died, and he seemed to care more about his children than ordinary men. Even a daughter of Takeda who was born in humiliation could take out his heart and lungs, which was simply incomprehensible to the warriors.
But so what if you can’t understand? In front of the invincible saint, do you dare to show your teeth and say something unpleasant? Don't want to die?
Kenshin Uesugi continued.
"Takeda Shingen used despicable means to obtain the divine seed and give birth to a divine descendant. Even if the saint doted on Takeda Yoshinobu with a loving father's heart, this child who humiliated the saint would not be able to inherit the Shiba family.
The sage understood this, and so did Takeda Shingen. Don’t I, Uesugi Kenshin, understand it?
My child is a gift from the saint himself. She is the eldest daughter of a god in the true sense. She should have the inheritance rights of the Sibo family. "
Honjo Sano couldn't help but said.
"Since His Highness knows what he is doing, why should you be so aggressive? If you offend the saint, wouldn't it be counterproductive?
You might as well communicate with the saint. The saint will naturally understand the truth and know who to choose as his successor. "
Kenshin Uesugi lowered his head, kissed the child's forehead, and sighed.
"This is what I said you don't understand about the saint. He seems to be a wise man, but he is actually a fool.
Don't think that I am slandering him. He is just too soft-hearted and can never be ruthless enough to do things.
He obviously possesses invincible military talent and an unparalleled political acumen, but he is trapped in the natural sensibility of men and cannot learn the cold-blooded ruthlessness of women.
When it comes to love, I love his tenderness like water. To say hate, I also hate his indecision.
With his doughy temper, if you don't force him, he will really dare to get confused!
I have paid so much for him, but he always resists me, worries about me, and deceives me. It really breaks my heart.
He paid so much for Takeda Yoshinobu, but he gave the shameless Takeda Shingen opportunities to succeed again and again, making Takeda live more and more comfortably.
He has such a confused temperament. If I don't act violently, will he be able to look at my lovely daughter? "
The more Naoe Keizuna and Honjo Minoru listened, the more they felt that Uesugi Kenshin's statement made sense. . There seems to be no problem.
It is said that when a woman has a child, she will be strong as a mother and strong for the sake of the child.
Uesugi Kenshin, a straightforward military commander, now learned to understand Shiba Yoshigan's thoughts for the sake of his lovely daughter.
The two important ministers suddenly discovered that their leader's mind had become enlightened, he had improved, he was sensible, and he was also able to use psychological tactics. This was a good thing.
What Uesugi Kenshin said makes sense.
Because emotional matters are so helpless. It’s not that the more you give, the more people will be grateful to you. Often the better you treat someone, the more willing you are to help that person next time.
If you help others, they will ask you for help next time. They may even think that it is natural for you to help them and there is no need to be grateful.
But if someone else helps you, they are likely to lend a helping hand to you again next time you encounter difficulties.
This is a very wonderful state in interpersonal relationships. Human nature tends to help people who have helped them before, and to ask for things from people who have helped them before.
The same is true when looking at Uesugi Kenshin's situation.
If Uesugi Kenshin licked her without any regrets, Shiba Yoshigan might not care much about Uesugi's daughter.
Because Takeda Shingen kept asking for it, Yoshigami Shiba paid more attention to Takeda's daughter.
No matter how good the licking dog Kenshin Uesugi was, he felt like he couldn't lick anymore at this time. She can lick it herself without caring about the reward, but she can't let her daughter be inferior to others and suffer injustice!
What's more, Takeda's daughter has an impure background, and she should naturally look up to her own daughter!
Being courteous and courteous may happen between two girls, but it cannot happen between two mothers! Absolutely impossible!
Motherhood is to give the best to your daughter, and Uesugi Kenshin is no exception.
She used to be able to give selflessly to Yiyin without asking for anything in return. But now that she has a daughter, Yiyin is no longer the only one in her heart.
Love rivals must be rectified and fought, and men must be trained and tamed. In short, for the future of his daughter, Uesugi Kenshin's mentality has changed.
What she is doing now is not to break with Shiba Yiyin, but to make Shiba Yiyin value herself and her daughter.
Naoe Keizuna and Honjo looked at each other speechless. If this was the case, the governor's actions were understandable. Instead of discouraging him, the retainers should fully support him.
