Toki Yoritake is actually very similar to Kyogoku Takahiro.
Both of them were the eldest sons in the family, but their father favored the second son, which caused civil strife in the family because of the heir issue.
Toki Yoritake was the eldest son of Toki Yorifu, but when Toki Yorifu died, he gave the position of governor of the family to his second son, Toki Yorigi. As the eldest son, Toki Yoritake naturally refused, and then he opposed Toki Yorigi with the support of the Guardian Saito Toriya.
Toki Yorigi's side has the support of Nagai Nagahiro, the junior guardian, and the strength of both sides is roughly the same.
After so many years of fighting, Toki Yorigi's side finally gained the upper hand.
After Toki Yoritake was exiled, he had no choice but to go directly to his brother-in-law, Asakura Takakage. Toki Yoritake's first wife is Asakura Takakage's sister, and Asakura Takakage's mother is from the Saito clan, and the two have a very close relationship.
Originally, Toki Yoritake planned to ask the Asakura family to help him send troops, but the Asakura family was currently busy with the things they had always been worried about and had no time to care.
The frustrated Toki Yoritake wandered around with nothing to do all day long. When he was passing by Omi, he happened to learn the news that the Kyogoku family was trying to destroy the Asai family. Then Toki Yoritake immediately set off for Imahama Castle.
...
Imhama Castle Kyogokukan.
Kyogoku Takahiro met Toki Yoritake privately and even held a family dinner for him.
"Jiro, I didn't expect to see you again after so many years. I'm so happy." The speaker was Kyougoku Takahiro's mother, Mrs. Nagayama.
Toki Yaiwu also said with red eyes: "Jiro has met his aunt."
Mrs. Nagayama is the daughter of Saito Myojun, Toki Yoritake's first wife is the daughter of Asakura Sadake, and Asakura Sadake is married to Mrs. Nagayama's sister. In other words, Toki Yoritake's mother-in-law is Mrs. Nagayama's sister.
"Didn't I hear that you were in Nongzhou? Why did you come to Omi?"
"But someone bullies you, tell me, and I will ask my son to teach him a lesson for you!" Mrs. Changshan is getting old. Not only is her eyesight dim, but she even becomes unconscious sometimes. In the words of later generations, she shows signs of Alzheimer's disease.
Toki Laiwu immediately climbed up along the pole, "I feel so wronged in my heart. Why don't you ask your aunt to make the decision for me?"
With that said, Toki Yoritake told the exact story of how he was exiled by Toki Yorii and others.
"That's great!"
Unexpectedly, after hearing Toki Yoritake's words, Changshan Hall not only did not get angry, but also said happily, "In this way, Jiro can visit me often in the future."
"If you ask me, Jiro should just move to Imahama City. With my son here, you will never be wronged."
MMP!
Toki Yaiwu suddenly cursed in his heart.
Kyogoku Takahiro who was on the side snorted quickly, then winked at Toki Yoritake and said, "It's getting late, so let's get here first today. Xiu Liang will go to rest first, and we'll talk about anything tomorrow."
Toki Laiwu immediately stood up and resigned.
Not long after Toki Yoritake returned to the room, Kyogoku Takahiro and Kyogoku Takamasa came to the door.
"Musashi guards the palace, Sakyo enters the palace, please save me!"
As soon as he saw that there were no outsiders around, Toki Yaitake immediately fell to the ground and looked at Kyogoku Takahiro in a pitiful manner.
Kyogoku Takamasa hurriedly stepped forward to help Toki Noritake up, "Toki-den doesn't have to be like this. The Toki clan and the Kyogoku clan have always been on good terms. Now that Toki-den is in trouble, I will naturally not stand by and watch."
"Not bad!" Kyogoku Takahiro said indignantly, "I think I was also ignored by my father at the beginning, so much so that Nagato Mamoru almost succeeded me as the leader. Fortunately, I would rather die than surrender, and after several years of hard work, I finally ran away. Nagato Shou.”
"So when repairing Liangdian, you must not give in easily!"
Pooh!
shameless.
I can't stand Kyogoku Takamasa anymore. If you don't brag for a day, you will die.
However, in front of Toki Yoritake, Kyogoku Takamasa naturally would not expose Kyogoku Takahiro's old background, "Although Tokiden is defeated now, if we can hide our capabilities and bide our time, given time, there may be a chance to regain control of Mino." .”
"So, the Kyogoku family is willing to help me raise an army?" Toki Yaiwu said with excitement.
Seeing that Toki Yoritake was clearly mistaken, Kyogoku Takamasa hurriedly explained, "My family has just suppressed the rebellion at home, and we really don't have the energy to send out troops again. Besides, Kita Omi's strength is far from Mino's opponent."
"The Asakura family cannot send troops, and the Kyogoku family is also in trouble. Could it be that this is what I, Toki Yoritake, have to do since I was born?"
"There is no need to be discouraged at Tokiden. The Asakura family is only worried about Kaga Ichikaku. But as far as I know, in the battle that broke out at Honganji Daimotoyama Sanshina Honganji Temple a month ago, the Hokke Ichikaku and Rokkaku won In the great victory, Yamashina Honganji Temple was burned to the ground, and Honganji Mainan Temple was moved to Ishiyama.”
"Now the Honganji Temple is working on a truce with the Rokkaku family, and the Asakura family is the middleman. In this way, the Honganji Temple will inevitably reach a compromise with the Asakura family before it can persuade the Asakura family."
"If Kaga calms down, the Asakura family will be free immediately."
"In this way, if the Asakura family sends troops to help, I will also be willing to accompany you. At that time, we will help Tokiden return to Mino!"
Kyogoku Takamasa's words immediately attracted Toki Yoritake's attention.
Historically, the Rokkaku family and the Asakura family reached a "last generation" secret agreement in December of this year. Rokkaku, Asakura, and Kaga have always called for a truce between the three parties. In another two years, the Asakura family would send troops to help Toki Yoritake invade Mino.
With the strength of the Kyogoku family, it is impossible to intervene in the disputes in Mino, at least the Kyogoku family is not qualified yet.
But if the Asakura family takes the lead, the Kyogoku family can also wave their flag and gain some benefits along the way.
Toki Yoritake thought carefully about Kyogoku Takamasa's words and thought that what Kyogoku Takamasa said was very reasonable. He immediately said excitedly, "If it is true as Sakyo Susumu said, after the matter is completed, I am willing to give you the land of a county." !”
Kyogoku Takamasa did not take Toki Yoritake's words seriously, they were all lies.
Let's not talk about whether Toki Yoritake can succeed in restoration. Even if he succeeds, if the other party regrets when the time comes, the Kyogoku family will have nothing to do.
"What are you talking about in Tokiden? Are we, the Kyogoku family, greedy for fame and fortune?"
"Assisting Toqi Palace is for the sake of justice and the friendship between us. How can it be measured by the land of a mere county?"
After listening to Kyogoku Takamasa's words, Toki Yoritake immediately stood in awe, "I didn't expect Sakyo Susumu to have such a broad mind and ambition even though he is young."
"I have a daughter, how about marrying Sakyo Jin?"
Kyogoku Takahiro who was on the side quickly refused, "To be honest, my family has entered into a marriage contract with Sanjo Gon Dainagon of Kyoto, and Inuko will marry the princess of the Sanjo family in the near future. I can only express my intention to repair the Ryōden. Sorry."
At the beginning, Kyogoku Takahiro really planned to let Kyogoku Takamasa marry Toki Yoritake's daughter, but the Kyogoku family's envoy did not see Toki Yoritake, so the matter was dropped.
