Chapter 138: A Difficult Choice

In the castle tower of Kiyosu Castle, Nobunaga looked at the Maeda Toshiku family for a long time, and then said Maeda Toshihisa has been exiled by me, I want you to inherit the Maeda family's governor, are you willing? ”

After hearing this, Maeda Toshiya raised his head and looked at Nobunaga, this news was really shocking in his opinion, his eldest brother was that kind of honest person, how could he anger the lord and be exiled?

Maeda Toshiya didn't care about being rude, and asked directly about the main hall, what crime did Maeda Toshihisa commit? Ended up being banished? ”

"Hmph, Maeda Toshijiu is afraid of the enemy like a tiger, and has avoided it many times without fighting, so what does my Oda family want him to do, if he is not severely punished, when the time comes, all the retainers of the Oda family will follow suit, and who will fight for the Quartet for the family at that time?"

Maeda Toshiya thought about it, what the main hall said, there is nothing wrong with it, Maeda Toshihisa's character, he still understands, cowardly by nature, easy to meet, and in poor physical condition, a samurai like this, no matter who is under his command, can not escape the fate of being banished, and there is such a head of the family in the family, and it is a fool's dream to want the family to prosper. To blame, you can only blame him for not coming into this world.

Maeda Toshiya thought to himself, fortunately, the eldest brother was just exiled, if the main hall was angry and changed it, then the Maeda family would be finished. If there is a succession to the family governor, there is a possibility that the Maeda family will continue to decline.

Thinking of this, I only heard Maeda Toshiya say that the main hall is that his subordinates are willing to inherit the position of Maeda family governor. ”

Nobunaga would have been like this a long time ago, and how many people could resist such temptation, I saw him nod with satisfaction, and said with a smile Ha Lu Ha, so very good, since you inherited the Maeda family, you have been my direct retainer, as for Senbei, I will go and say, now I appoint you as ......"

"The main hall, the subordinates are only willing to follow Lord Gao Shan, please forgive the main hall." Before Nobunaga could finish speaking, Maeda Toshiya interrupted him rudely and said firmly.

When Nobunaga heard this, he couldn't help but turn from joy to anger, and scolded bastard, do you think I will let a vassal inherit the throne of the family governor? You can figure it out to me whether I want to become the governor of the Maeda family, or whether I want to continue to follow Senbei."

"This ......" From the moment Nobunaga's words fell, Maeda Toshiie began to hesitate. If it's in other samurai,It's not possible for a retainer to inherit the family governor.,But,In the Oda family,There was really no such rule before.,Just now I was carried away by joy.,I didn't think of this problem.,Maeda Toshiya thought in his heart,If you inherit the family governor,,You can directly get 3000 stone Zhixing,And you can also get the allegiance of the barren people.,Compared with the current situation,This is really a step to the sky.,After becoming the Maeda family governor.,And then with their own bravery,Want to get a higher status.,More Zhixing., It's not a very difficult thing to do.

But the Maeda Toshiya thought about it, at the time of the disaster, the retainers of the Oda family were not too much to describe with fear and avoidance, even the relatives of the Maeda family were also cynical, in the most depressed time, in addition to Amatsu was still silently supporting, only the lord had a good courtesy, if it wasn't for the lord to appear in time, I'm afraid he was still at home now, borrowing wine all day long to kill his sorrows.

And after being loyal to the lord and becoming his retainer, although he is called a monarch, but it is more like, the lord will also hand over the most elite iron spur horse under his command to the commander, what a great trust, just this favor, I think it will be repaid, it can be said that if there is no lord, there will be no Maeda Toshi's current prestige, and the lord's great favor has not been repaid, how can he leave easily.

Besides, the lord is resourceful, and seeing that he has already joined the ranks of the important ministers of the Oda family, if he follows the lord, the future should be brighter than that of working alone. And in this way, the Maeda family's 3,000 stone Zhixing will be inherited, and in the future, they can get a reward again, and they can protect the Maeda family on the side, so why not?

Thinking of this, although Maeda Toshiya was reluctant in his heart, he still resolutely said thank you for the promotion of the main hall, but the command has made up his mind, and he will leave the lord not far away, and please forgive the main hall. ”

Nobunaga saw that he was resolute and had already said more, so he shouted for me to get out of the way. ”

"It's the main hall, and the command is retiring." Maeda Toshiya hurriedly bowed and walked out of the living room.

After Maeda Toshiya walked out of the castle tower dejectedly, the clan clan hurriedly asked Youzuo, the lord asked you to stay alone, but in order to make you a direct minister? ”,

Maeda Toshiya nodded and said back to the lord, my brother Maeda Toshihisa has been exiled from the main hall, and after he became a direct minister, he inherited the position of family governor, but his subordinates refused. ”

"Why do you want to refuse, it's three thousand stone Zhixing." The clan blurted out, even he felt a little painful, and he couldn't help but think that if the Maeda Toshiya left because of the inheritance of the family governor, then although he would be reluctant, he would definitely not have the slightest resentment, after all, in this era, how many samurai dream of owning a large piece of land.

And even if the Maeda Toshiya inherits the family governor, with the relationship with him, if there is a request for him, the loyal Maeda Toshiya may refuse, and when the time comes, although the three thousand stone Zhixing belongs to Maeda, it is no different from yes. Besides, even if he leaves now, after the change of the Honnoji Temple, the clan has absolute confidence that he will return to his command.

At that time, not only the insignificant Zhixing of the Maeda Toshiya and the Arako City couldn't run, but even the few people in the Arashi crowd couldn't run out of the palm of their hands.

However, although the clan was so comforted just now, he still didn't want the Maeda Toshi's family to really leave, after all, the retainers under his command were a radish and a pit, and if suddenly, there was really one less, it would really be a bit impossible to turn away. In this way, while uniting the existing retainers, it is also necessary to recruit more new retainers, but the clan still thinks like that, and the waste will not be recruited, but how can the real talents come in large quantities, and now there is only one step at a time.

After comforting Maeda's Toshi's family, the clan and the others immediately rushed to Shimosha Castle. Prepare to carry out the raid on Hachiman Castle in Gujo.

Before the clan had yet to arrive at Shimosha Castle, Arako Castle received a letter of appointment from Oda Nobunaga's attendants. Arako Castle 3000 Shi Zhiyuki will be inherited by Maeda Toshimasa's third son, Maeda Yasukatsu.
