Now Kyogoku Gaomasa wants Tsutsui Junren to return to Yamato, and he also needs to persuade Tsutsui Junxing.
It is indeed a bit overwhelming.
However, Tsutsui Shunren only hesitated for a moment and then made up his mind.
"A poor monk is a mere mortal. He was lucky enough to learn a few volumes of Buddhist scriptures and managed to survive in troubled times. He does not seek to be famous or famous."
"Thank you, Lord, for not giving up and taking more care of the poor monk. Now that the poor monk is of use, the poor monk should share the Lord's worries!"
Tsutsui Shunren's eyes revealed sincerity.
Kyogoku Takamasa nodded movedly, then held Tsutsui Shunren's hand and said happily: "No matter what the result is, I already know Shunren's intentions, so we can do our best on this matter. Even if we fail to convince Tsutsui, we will I never blame you!"
"In this case, the poor monk will leave for Yamato immediately!"
"please!"
Kyogoku Takamasa bowed slightly.
Tsutsui Junlian clasped his hands and returned the salute, then stood up and strode out of the courtyard.
His steps were steady, and he seemed to be looking forward to death!
.......
Ise, Nagano Castle.
This is the base of the powerful Nagano clan in the central Ise region.
The Nagano clan has been developing in Ise since the Kamakura period and is very powerful. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Kitahata family of Ise Province, which belonged to the Southern Dynasty, entered Ise, while the Nagano family belonged to the Northern Dynasty. The two families were naturally incompatible, and wars continued.
The previous head of the Nagano family, Nagano Tsutsuji, passed away two years ago, and the new head is Nagano Aito, the son of Nagano Tsutsuji.
Nagano Atogi was named Kingo when he was young, and his official rank was ranked fifth in the palace as Shaofu. In the first year of Dayei (AD 1521), he served in the Yuan Dynasty and paid homage to the then tenth shogun Ashikaga Yoshinori, who was also known as Nagano Asotō.
At the beginning of his succession, the situation of the Nagano family was not good.
Due to the long-term war between the Nagano family and the Kitahata family, the Nagano family was quite unstable. In addition, the new governor of the family was mourned, and the internal situation was even more chaotic.
So the Kitahata family took the opportunity to send troops to attack the Nagano family, but the battle ended inconclusively without a winner being decided.
The main reason was the war between the Hosokawa family that broke out in Kinai at this time.
Kitahata Harugu was Hosokawa Takakuni's son-in-law, and he belonged to Hosokawa Takakuni's side in this battle.
After receiving the order from Takakuni Hosokawa to send troops, Kitahata Harugu could only withdraw his troops and prepare to lead his troops to the Kinai area to participate in the war, but both sides immediately stopped. But before Kitahata Harugu could arrive with his troops, Hosokawa Takaguni was defeated at Settsu, and Kitahata Harugu could only lead his army back.
Nagano Aito received such a "big gift" from Kitahata Harugu just after he succeeded to the throne. Naturally, he felt even more resentful towards the Kitahata family, and the hatred between the two parties was even worse than in the past.
In the Nagano Castle Palace, Nagano Aito was in a good mood.
Just now, his third son was born, which made the 32-year-old Nagano Aito very happy.
"Genjiro, you have another younger brother!" Nagano Aito said with a smile and touched the head of the eldest son beside him.
Genjiro Nagano is only seven or eight years old this year, and he is still at an innocent age. After hearing Nagano Aito's words, he was very happy, and his eyes turned into crescent moons when he smiled.
"Father, can Genjiro go see his brother?"
"Of course, but your mother needs to rest now, so you have to keep your voice down!"
"ha!"
Seeing Genjiro running out, Nagano Aito was also very happy.
However, when he thought about the possible instability in the family after having more sons, Nagano Aito felt a little uneasy.
"It seems that we have to find an opportunity to adopt Keishiro (the second son) out, and the Yunlinyuan family is a good choice. As for the newborn, let's wait and see."
"The Nagano family is in turmoil. It's better to prepare for a rainy day. Our family can no longer withstand the hardships."
In fact, Nagano Sato was very far-sighted. Like the famous Mourimoto, Nagano Sato also left the position of family governor to his eldest son in history, and adopted his second son and third son respectively to the branch Yunlinin. home and the Hosono family.
Nagano Ato's three sons were Nagano Sada, Unrinin Yuki, and Hosono Fujimitsu.
Although there are only three salted fishes, the butt determines the head. After all, Nagano Inito is not a big boss like Mourimoto. In the game "Nobunaga's Ambition", as far as the Ise region is concerned, Nagano Fujisada, Yuki Yuki Yunrinin and Hosono Fujimitsu are already considered "talents" in Ise.
"My lord, the Kyogoku family has sent an envoy and is asking for an audience outside the palace!"
Just when Nagano Aito was thinking a lot, a retainer walked in from outside.
As soon as he heard the messenger from the Kyogoku family, Nagano Aito immediately understood what he was talking about. He was about to refuse, but then he thought about it. It didn't seem to be a big deal if he met him. Why not listen to what the other party said?
"please come in!"
"ha!"
Not long after, Endo Keise came in from outside in plain clothes.
Today, Endo Kyouyo represents the Kyogoku family, so he specially prepared a decent hunting suit. Although Endo Kyouyo usually doesn't like to wear clothes, today he had to put on a show.
"Kyogoku's retainer, Chief Chef Endo has seen the Young Assistant Hall in Nagano Palace!"
"Your Majesty has come a long way, so please take a seat." Nagano Aito was not rude and greeted Keise Endo to sit down very warmly.
After Endo Keise took his seat, Nagano Aito continued, "My family also heard about the changes in the Beishi area in Nagano Castle. The Kyogoku family played a big game of chess and took over the land of two counties without any noise."
"But I don't know, are you planning to invade my Nagano home next?" Nagano Aito said jokingly.
Endo Kyouyo laughed, "Haha, the young assistant palace in the palace is joking. How dare I be the enemy of the Nagano family?"
"The troops sent to Ise this time were also at the invitation of the people of the Beishi Kingdom to attack the Akabori, Chigusa and other people who were causing trouble in the Beishi area. Now that the culprit has been eliminated, how can we dare to use weapons again?"
"In that case, what is the purpose of Mr. Endo coming to Nagano Castle today?"
"Nothing but an alliance with the Nagano family!" Kyouyo Endo didn't hide it, and explained his intention as soon as he arrived.
"Form an alliance?!" Nagano Ato was quite surprised. He looked at Endou Keisee carefully and said, "The Kyogoku family has a good plan. After taking advantage, they want to turn my family into enemies with the Kitahata family."
"If the matter is successful, Genben Er County will still belong to the Kyogoku family, and I, the Nagano clan, will not benefit at all. If the matter fails, then won't I, the Nagano clan, have to be buried with the Kyogoku family?"
"You are bullying me, a three-year-old boy named Nagano Aitoino?!"
Faced with Nagano Aito's resistance, Endo Keise was not in a hurry. Endo Keise was already prepared for things not going well.
It would be strange if this mission was really that easy.
"I dare to ask the Young Assistant Palace in the palace, what is the relationship between the Nagano family and the Kitahata family?"
"It's not bad, but it's not great either."
"That's not necessarily true, right?" Endo Kyouyo smiled, "Since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Nagano family and the Kitahata family have been in constant disputes, competing for the status of Ise hegemony. Today, the Kitahata family has the upper hand!"
"It is said that when the Imperial Palace's Young Assistant Palace succeeded to the throne, he was attacked by the Kitahata family. If the war had not broken out in Kinai, the Nagano family's life would not be as stable as it is now, right?"
Nagano Ato nodded secretly in his heart. This Endo was not well-known in the world, but he was not easy to deal with either.
