Kyogoku Takamasa suddenly proposed to marry his sister to him. Is it as simple as finding a home for his sister?
of course not!
Shanxian Shengxin is a fool again, and he can still see such an obvious temptation!
To put it bluntly, the Kyogoku family wants to dominate Wakasa from the bottom of their hearts! But in order to silence the world, he had to find another way to achieve his goal by supporting the puppet Shanxian Shengxin.
Although Yamagata Shinobu knew that he was just a decoration, he was still able to preserve the Takeda family name, so Yamagata Shinobu must be the reason.
This is Zhou Yu's fight against Huang Gai. One is willing to hit and the other is willing to suffer.
But on the other hand, although Yamagata Shengxin was single-handedly supported by the Kyogoku family, it does not mean that the Kyogoku family must believe in Yamagata Shengxin.
After all, Shanxian Shengxin is not one of our own!
Therefore, the Kyogoku family will definitely find a way to make Yamagata Shengxin one of their own, so marriage is a very common and useful method.
For the Kyogoku family, marriage has many benefits.
First, after Yamagata Shinobu marries Aku, the relationship between the Takeda family and the Kyogoku family will become closer.
Secondly, Yamagata Shengxin became the son-in-law of the Kyogoku family, so he was equivalent to half of his own family.
Third, Yamagata Shinobu’s original wife was the princess of Takeda retainer Yamagata clan. Just imagine, if Yamagata Shonobu's wife is still the princess of Yamagata clan, then Yamagata Shonobu will definitely get the support of many old officials of the Takeda family. Generations such as Yamagata and Naito will also regard Yamagata Shengxin as one of their own and spare no effort to assist. If things go on like this, the Takeda family will unite again, and I'm afraid they will be out of the control of the Kyogoku family.
And allowing Yamagata Makinoto to "divorce his wife" will inevitably offend a group of old ministers of the Takeda family, which will create conflicts between Yamagata Makinobu and his retainers. When the time comes, Yamagata Shengxin will have to rely on the Kyogoku family if he wants to rule the family.
In this way, Shanxian Shengxin can be effectively controlled. If you control Yamagata Shengxin, you will control the entire Takeda family.
So for the Kyogoku family, marriage does have many benefits!
And for Shanxian Shengxin...well, he had no choice at all.
In the words of later generations, this is a proposition.
If he marries the princess of the Kyogoku family, the Kyogoku family will trust Wakasa to him.
If he doesn't marry, it means that Yamagata Shengxin and the Kyogoku family are not of the same mind, and the Kyogoku family will inevitably choose someone else to take over Yamagata Shengxin's position. Shanxian Shengxin believed that his younger brothers would be happy to replace him.
"Could it be that Shimonosuke-don looks down on my sister?" Miyama County Shengxin hesitated, Kyogoku Gaomasa said angrily.
Shanxian Shengxin said quickly: "I have no such intention!"
"This...well, since this is what Sakyo said when he entered the palace, I should listen to it! Soon I will send someone, no, I will personally go to Imhama Castle to pay homage to Musashi and ask for Aju's hand in marriage. Princess!"
"Very good! So I'm going to call Shimonosuke brother-in-law in advance?" Kyogoku Takamasa joked.
To be honest, Kyogoku Takamasa was not worried about Yamagata Shengxin’s rejection at all.
After having been in contact with Yamagata Shengxin for so long, Kyogoku Takamasa could tell that Yamagata Shengxin was a smart man. Smart people will naturally know how to make the right choice!
"My lord, Daisuke Uesaka Minbu has something urgent to ask for!" Hatayama Asanobu suddenly came to Kyogoku Takamasa and whispered.
Kyogoku Takamasa had told him not to disturb him when he met with Yamagata Morinobu. Now that Uesaka Munanobu came to report, it must be an important matter.
"Sakyo enters the palace, something is wrong!"
After entering the main hall, Uesaka Munanobu looked at Kyogoku Takamasa worriedly and said.
"Ministry of Civil Affairs, what happened?"
"About a quarter of an hour ago, the Kuriya family troops stationed outside Gozeyama Castle suddenly dispatched and began to evacuate Gozeyama Castle! Judging from their marching direction, they should be heading to Mikata County!"
"Kuriya Gentaka is leaving?" Kyogoku Takamasa narrowed his eyes and immediately understood Kuriya Gentaka's plan.
"It seems that the Kuriya family is no longer willing to be used by me!" Kyogoku Takamasa's face was filled with chills.
Uesaka Munanobu continued: "This matter is of great importance. I dare not make the decision without authorization, so I came here to ask Sakyo for permission to enter the palace. Should I send troops to pursue him?"
Kyogoku Takamasa slowly shook his head, "We can't pursue him!"
"Why?"
"The Kuriya family is withdrawing their troops at this time. They must be dissatisfied with the family's decision and are preparing to break with the family! If we don't pursue it at this time, and if we wait for Kuriya Gentaka to return to his post, it will not be easy to attack the Kuriya family by then!"
"The Kuriya family just withdrew its troops and did not declare to the outside world that they have abandoned the family! Now the Kuriya family and the Kuriya family are allies. If we send troops to pursue them at this time, we will rashly attack our allies!"
"The attack on Wakasa has already put our family at the forefront. If we are now accused of attacking an ally, how will the great names in the world view our family?"
Although the Kyogoku family now owns one country in the north of Omi, and two counties in Ise, they have successfully dominated Wakasa, and their strength has greatly increased!
However, the current strength of the Kyogoku family cannot be said to be the highest among the Kinai family, and there are many surrounding daimyo who are more powerful than the Kyogoku family.
Therefore, the Kyogoku family must be careful every step they take, walking on thin ice, otherwise they will attract public anger! When a wave of siege nets came down, Kyogoku Takamasa didn't think he could be as tough as the Great Demon King Oda in history.
"Then let them go like this?"
"Just leave. If you are not of my race, your heart will be different! It is better for the Kuriya family to take the initiative now than to stab us in the back in the future. In a sense, it is also a good thing!"
"Well, that's it!" Uesaka Munanobu said in frustration.
"Oh, that's right!" As if he remembered something, Uesaka Munanobu quickly continued: "Kaihoku Zenemon just sent someone to deliver news, saying that there are frequent activities at the Ichigo clan temples in our territory, and something seems to be brewing. plan!"
"Kyogoku Umasuke and Kyogoku Uhei Saya of Akahorikan sent people to report to the lord. Disciples are also gathering at Gonjoji Temple in the Nagashima area recently, and there seems to be signs of an uproar!"
"Issect?" Upon hearing these three words, Kyogoku Takamasa's nerves immediately became tense.
During the RB Warring States Period, no matter how powerful a famous person you were, as long as you offended Yixiang Zong, Yixiang Yikui would become a piece of brown candy that couldn't be shaken off and stuck to you.
The current head of the Asakura family in Echizen, Asakura Takakage, can be said to be a generation of heroic masters, and there is a big boss like Asakura Soutei in the family. With the strength of the Asakura family, if they expanded externally, they would have captured Wakasa, Kitaomi and others.
But just because of the quarrel with Kaga Ichimura, the Asakura family fell into the quagmire of confrontation with Ichimura and couldn't get out of it at all.
With how chaotic Kitaomi was at the beginning, the Asakura family could only support the Asai family to rise to power and try to use the hands of the Asai family to control Kitaomi, instead of taking it by force themselves.
This is the fate of being targeted by Yixiang Zong!
If the Kyogoku family is targeted by Ichigo Mun... I feel shuddering just thinking about Kyogoku Takamasa!
