"Tosa's got it all cleared up."
"Yes, I received a sentence from Mr. Shimazu that he was about to conclude negotiations with Shimazu. Return immediately."
Your back was answered with a smile. There are five sons and four men in charge of the succession between you and your stall. Settle down, pierce, and do not push or be pushed.
"So we're going to Kyoto next?
"Well, you may come back here once, but for a while, we'll be staying at Tsushima Castle. I guess I'll be back here after the concession."
"It's also difficult for your style.... and thank you for your loss."
"I have to. Because your style wants to be under the sky."
The voice was calm but the laughter was lonely. We must tell this man about Hojo and Imawa. And without the approval of your backside. What a heavy thing...
Actually, I'm talking about the Imagawa family and the Hojo family.
Your back nodded.
"We have heard the story from Mr. Oyato. I want you to serve someone on your side. That's what I mean."
"Yes."
Horrified. Mr. Miyato spoke to your backside.
"Who?
"Yes, from the Imagawa family, Princess Garden, from the Hojo family, Princess Kwai."
"Kyou, Princess Garden..."
Your back was frowned upon in good shape.
"Yes, I was in Shinkuro Kitajo's proper room. There is a son named Princess Ryu."
I was exhaled howlingly.
"Am I offended?
When asked, your back shook his head gently, "No."
"I can't say I'm calm because I'm a woman, too. But Princess Garden also wanted to be hard. You think it's for the kids, it's for the house..."
……
I think you're right. As it is now, Imagawa becomes a rootless grass, and Princess Ryu becomes a powerful unfamiliar daughter. The only way to avoid it is for the princess of the garden to receive the petition of your stall.
"Will you forgive me?
"... Wasn't Princess Yuen definitely drawing Takeda's blood?
"Yes, it is in the princess of Taro, Lord Shingen's son."
"Do you think it's okay?
Your back sounded anxious. Your back is also showing about Kawanakajima. The Decaying Woods have never fought directly with the Takeda family. But it is also true that the Decaying Woods are strongly involved in the demise from the decline of the Takeda family. The matter really shadows the relationship between the two families.
"Don't worry. The young princess is here for Princess Garden. It is understood that the best way to entrust the end of the line is with your stall. Besides, there are other young men in the Imagawa family, the princess. Princess Garden thinks about them."
"I hope so..."
Your back exhaled lightly.
"It's not Chi (Rinki), I don't want to strain your style. When Daita recommended Tatsuji and Shinoji to your side room, both I and Yukino agreed with that. There were times when they admired your style, but I thought you'd be happier with your side for the unfamiliar Chen and Shinobi."
The two of you, known as Lord Wenjing and Lord Miyake, each make a fortune and live happily ever after. Your back judgment is correct.
"But now there are times when I think that your stall may have carried a heavy burden. I hear there are people out there who are harsh, ruthless and defamatory. But that's against politics, it's not who you really are. My knowledgeable stalls are large and vast. And there is also a generous man of emotion. I am not the one who can separate the side chamber from the tools that give birth to children. I also really deal with Chen and Shinobi matters. I'm tired of being on the table, but I don't think I'm tired in the back... I hope Princess Garden and Princess Gui understand what's going on around there..."
I know exactly how your back feels. There are some overly gentle things about your style.
"Fortunately, I saw Princess Garden and Princess Gui as excellent people who showed willingness. I'm sure you'll heal your mood."
"That would be good...... I have no objection to Princess Garden and Princess Gui serving at your side of the palace. They also say that the public households are less interested in the treatment of the Imagawa family and the Hojo family. From now on, we cannot ignore it because we must also attach importance to our relations with the Morning Court. If you don't do what you can..."
One breath came out of your back.
"You say you're from the public house?
When I asked him what he meant, his back smiled slightly.
"The Imagawa family had strong ties to the public households. A number of public households went down to Sun Fu and participated in kicking and singing ceremonies. Some of those people, their relatives, have connections to the Decaying Wood family. Mr. Yamadake, Mr. Ip Room, and Mr. Hitoi, etc. It can't be unobstructed."
"You're the one on the left."
"And the Hojo family is a family of Ise families. The Ise family is naturally connected to the houses where they served as government deacons. I can't get in the way of this either. If you do that, you will weaken Ise Hyogo's position."
"I see."
"Kyou, please tell me about Princess Garden, Princess Kwai, and Mr. Yakuza."
"Yes."
If your style is difficult, your back is difficult... Just in case, it might be better to make sure that Princess Garden and Princess Gui are willing once and for all now.
Tianzheng Four Years (1580) Late June Aya Nagato, Haruhi Village, Yukoku Cervical County, Haruhi Yamashiro
"Father, Mother, thank you for your hard work."
When I entered my son's room with my husband, my son told me that he had labored. He returned from Kanto to succeed the governor of the Uesugi family the other day. With that, he moved his home to Honmaru, and his brother moved to Ermaru. Now my son is called Lord Mitsumi Castle by everyone, and my brother is called Lord Hideaway. I guess the position of the head of the Uesugi family is never easy, he still looks difficult. In the room, only Yoshio Haguchi, from the side, was holding back.
"I heard Oda's messenger came?
When my husband inquired, Kihei snorted “Yoshi”.
"Ha. Echimae Shosho, your lord. Let me explain something to you. As you know, Misuke will succeed the governor in the Oda family. At the Oda family, the dispute over the housekeeper is over, so I would like Princess Hua to come back. Soon there will be a week of taboos for Bullet Chung Chung and Kakuro. He wants you back before then."
Arrow it or... My husband is staring at me.
"From muscle to muscle, we should return Hua. If there seems to be no law against it, it will be slandered by everyone. But......, is that all? Did the messenger say anything else?
My husband alternated between Kiheiji and Yoshi.
"According to Mr. Mitsumi Castle, in the Oda family, Princess Hua stays with the Oda family and sees the time and thinks it's in Misuke's chamber."
It's not a funny story. Since Hua married the Oda family to strengthen the bond between Oda and Uesugi, it is only natural to think about keeping the bond by daughtering the next Sansuke beyond Kanjiro's death. There's nothing strange about the year. Normally, it's a joyous story, and a wedding home like the Oda family doesn't exist except the Decaying Wood family. But honestly, I can't be happy. My husband's expression became more and more sinister.
"When you think about Tokugawa, it's best to connect with Oda."
But Hua hates Misuke.
"That's not the problem, Aya. It's a turmoil, if you get the wrong person to tie it to, you could end up with the Uesugi family. We have to figure out what's best for your house..."
Kihei nodded at her husband's words.
"I can't object to putting it back. No, we have to put it back in order to get off the hook. You should stop putting it in the Oda family. Better put it back here right away. Master Sansuke will be trying to consolidate his position by welcoming Hua to his wife, but he can't rely on it. I guess they'll just use the name of Uesugi as it is. Then, in case of danger to Hua, too."
Is the Oda family okay with Misuke? Everyone is anxious about it.
"We had a similar situation when the Hideaway fell. Misuke feels comfortable trying to rely on us. The only thing we could do was rely on Master Kunda. Fortunately, Master Kwon Daihan let me marry Princess Takeshi, but now I think I'm really losing my mind. I would have been more prepared."
The readiness was queued of thirty thousand men. I was adopted with a Kingsguard. I can tell you that Master Ya took all the time to make Princess Bamboo his wife.
"It would be difficult if you asked me if I could do the same thing at home. Above all, Misuke's position is too dangerous. And how far can I believe... If Misuke can make your position a little certain right now... At that time, I think we should think of a way to deepen the bond again."
After listening to her husband's thoughts, Kiheiji and Yoriku looked at each other.
"Father, I have received a sentence from Natsu. According to this, Omi's uncle is going to attack and destroy the Oda family."
"Oh my..."
I accidentally looked at my husband. My husband is surprised, too.
"Master Kwon Dae-sen has sent his soldiers to Tosa..."
……
"True?
"That's what Natsu wrote in his sentence. We're running our hands to Mino and Oozen right now."
My husband roared “hmm”.
"Indeed, the west has been cleared up openly. Only Kyushu is left. Isn't it strange to look east? … can still not connect with Oda lightly"
"Alternatively, it is possible that Master Kwon Daihan saw that Tokugawa could not be fought in Oda. It just scratches like this, and sooner or later, Oda will be destroyed by Tokugawa."
My husband put his arm around Yoshi's words and nodded, "It's possible."
"I wonder if I'll join Hua around the corner. At that time, send him to Koe to see Natsu. Perhaps you can understand the details of the decaying tree family. And let's find out what's inside the Oda family."
"But, Father, it's not like the Oda family is going to return Hua. If Lord Misuke is aware of your uncle's movements, he can also hold Hua hostage."
Both Kihei and Yoshiro are calm. Maybe my husband's suggestion was already envisaged.
"Well, could it be impossible to hold him back... it could be dangerous to put him on the tailgate"
"Wouldn't it be better not to let it out? Let's call it a disease to the Oda family. Then the horns won't stand."
"Well, wait."
"But"
"Calm down. No one believes me when I say illness or anything. There's no point in lying like that."
Kiheiji and Yoshiko nodded at her husband's words.
"Kiheiji, no, Master Mitsumi Castle. If Master Kwon Dae-sen were to cut off the Oda family, what would happen to Master Mitsumi Castle? Do we trump the Oda family, or do we maintain friendship and hostility with the Decaying Wood family as always? Or arbitrate between Oda and the Decaying Wood Family? Thank you for asking."
My husband rode himself out for a long time and pressed for an answer. As a minister, not as a father, I am questioning Kihei's readiness to be the next Lord.
"You can't rely on Oda, and you can't fight the Decaying Woods."
"Then ask the Decaying Wood family for Hua's safety. Misuke will not be impotent if he has the mouthfeel of the Decaying Wood family. And if it's really dangerous, the Decaying Woods will stop it, and we'll stop attending every week because of it."
Kihei nodded.
"I think it's a good idea. Then I ask you to persuade Father, Mother and Hua. If you two persuade me, Hua won't want to go to Tai Zhang either."
Oh, how long have you been doing this...
Tianzheng Four Years (1580) Early July Yashan Castle, Yashan Town, Fusheng County, Omijiang
Natsu Kogi
My husband came back from between the calendars. I gently turned my shoulder when I sat down. He's very tired.
"You look tired, how about some barley water?
"Oh, shall I take it? I'm just thirsty."
"Yes, then, immediately."
Making Yao prepare and hand over the barley water, Master Yagoro sipped and exhaled howlingly.
"Did you have a difficult problem?
"I have a more troublesome problem than a difficult one"
"Say?
"After the concession, each will be entertained at Miyagi and Sendo's place. I was going to leave it to Yamato's Monkey Raku and Sendo's Monkey Raku to Omi's Monkey Raku, Minmanji, Omori, and Sakata. But the same mountain staircases, Shimosaka, and Bibi in Omi, they wanted us to play them too."
Another sip of Yagoro sipped barley water.
I hear Omi is sheltering Monkey Rakuza by actively engaging in Monkey Raku's flourishing place and the Decaying Wood Family. But Mountain Hills, Lower Slopes, Bibi? Never heard of it... I pointed my gaze at Yao Tail, but Yao Tail also looks surprised. Yagoro laughed lightly when he saw us surprised.
"Previously, the Decaying Wood family had connections to Minamanji, Omori, and Sakata, but not to Yamashita, Shimosaka, or Bibiza. You know why?
"No, I don't know. Besides, I've never heard of Mountain Hills, Lower Slope, or Bishop. It's strange, though the Decaying Woods are actively engaged in Nengxing."
That's why I burned Mount Bee.
"Well."
When I raised my voice, Master Yagoro nodded.
"Before I was born, I burned Hiyoshi Taisha when I burned down Mount Bee. Yamashita, Shimosaka, and Bitsuka were sheltered by Hiyoshi Taisha. That's why they didn't respond to Father when he said he was going to do the entertainment. The respondents were Toshimanji, Omori, and Sakata. They each come to the castle twice a year to dance. That's how I get my father's asylum. It's been going on for about seven years."
"Such a thing..."
"No wonder I didn't know. I learned that recently, too."
"Haven't you been uncomfortable with Mountain Hills, Lower Slopes, and Bibi?
It's not funny to be blamed for being disrespectful, saying no to the Lord's invitation. Well, the other guy's a stall. When I asked, Master Yagoro tilted his neck a little.
"I don't know, I haven't heard that my father punished or harassed them. Your father is tough on politics, but he's not too handy. Whatever you want, that's what you might have thought."
"Well."
"I don't even think you like extraordinary ability..."
I suddenly laughed at him for being funny.
"Do you understand?
"Of course, what Father likes is politics, enriching everyone. It is gratifying to see so many ships moving through the Akami Naokai. Sometimes I wonder if your father wanted to be a merchant."
"Master Miyagi is a merchant?
Funny, really funny. I can't stop laughing, Master Yagoro laughed out too.
"With Decaying Tree holding Kichinai down, the battle in Kichinai disappeared and Kyoto became busy. The court was also free from the same difficulties it once had and was able to hold various ceremonies. Some of them are entertaining. When it comes to monkey music in Kichinai, it's Yamato and Omi monkey music. General Akiri's family made Yamato Monkey Raku look bad. That's why Yamato Monkey Raku used to have strong momentum. But now Decaying Wood is holding Kyo back. As a result, Omi Monkey Raku is gaining momentum."
"You're reluctant to be in your house, aren't you?
Yagoro nodded when he said, "I guess so."
"It seems that Father was previously offended by the use of Yamato Monkey Raku. Did they say they would never use it again? We all know how that happened. Father has done nothing more than that. Ise in Kyo hasn't done anything either. But I think there is a certain reluctance towards decaying trees. Around us, Yamato Monkey Raku bought his father's unhappiness, and he avoids it when he sees it as offensive."
"This time, let Yamato Monkey Raku perform in the palace..."
Master Yagoro was nodded.
"Yes, to let the surrounding public know that Decaying Tree is nowhere to be found in Yamato Monkey Raku. The Yamato Monkey Raku people have apologized. I am anxious that my survival will also be jeopardized if I am not called by Energetic in this assignment. Father forgave me, too. You seemed surprised, in a sentence from Tosa that you were not going to crush your own offensive and traditional Yamato monkey music. The Yamato Monkeys are delighted."
I exhaled unexpectedly. I didn't know we had to take that into account... I didn't think it was necessary for my husband to get tired.
"Then the people of Mountain Hills, Lower Slope, and Bishop have been wishing..."
"It's the same as Yamato Monkey Raku, I'm in a hurry. Now when it comes to Omi's Monkey Raku, everyone raises the names of Minmonji, Omori, and Sakata. Mountain Hills, Lower Slopes, and Bitulos follow. I am anxious that survival will even be endangered as it is. That's why I want to participate in this Nengxing event at all costs. And we want to improve our relationship with the Decaying Tree family."
"... what do you do?
Master Yagoro exhaled.
"The Nengxing of the Sendong Place will take place on the thirteenth. Leave the sixth of them to Mountain Hill, Lower Slope, and Bibi. I'm going to let Toshimanji, Omori and Sakata play the other seven. The Toshimanji Temples are the most common, so let's convince them. I'll leave that to Minamanji, Omori, and Sakata, as always. If Mountain Hills wants to join them, it's not me, it's my wish after apologizing to your father for what happened."
"... you're the one on the left"
"Yeah."
The snorting face looked young. Really tough, so far about Oda in the concession... I wish I didn't have to......
