Chapter 40: Aoki Shigeju's Family
For samurai, especially for samurai of the rank of Musato Takatomo, only powerful opponents can attract their attention, and the common people are all existences that can be cut down at will, and low-level samurai are not in their eyes. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"The next name is Aoki Ichiki, and he is the former Mino Kuni's Saito family's pedigree Shigeto's family, a samurai of the Aoki family, and he meets Kuroda-sama." The young man respectfully bowed to Kuroda Vocational High School.
Aoki Kazuki, when he heard this name, Kuroda Vocational High School was a little surprised, although he knew that Kinoshita Hidecho would definitely bring back a lot of people. But didn't the news of the return of the people before, all of them be poor relatives of Kinoshita Hidenaga? This Aoki family is not a poor relative no matter how you say it! Anyway, it turned out to be a retainer of the Saito family in Mino! Moreover, how could this Aoki family also come back with him, did he hear it wrong?
Aoki in history, that is Toyotomi Hideyoshi's important ministers, participated in the 11th year of Tensho Mt. Mt. Battle, Tensho 15 years of Kyushu conquest, because of his merits and became the lord of Harima National Stone Castle, Keicho three years to the Echizen Kitanosho Castle 80,000 stone of wisdom and courage of both talents! I really didn't expect that such a famous samurai would be easily abducted to Kuroda's house by Kinoshita Hidenaga.
"I've heard what Aoki-sama said, but the Aoki clan is a famous family in Mino Province, and the Saito family is supposed to be highly used, so why did they come to Harima Province?" Kuroda asked strangely.
"It's true that what the young master said before was right, but what the young master didn't know was. It's true that my Aoki family was originally a retainer of the Saito family, but my family has always adhered to righteousness and has always supported the old lord of the family, Saito Michiko. But the rebel son of the lord, Saito Yoshiryu, killed the old lord with treacherous tricks, how could the Aoki family be loyal to such a father-killer, so the father ran away and became a ronin, and he was no longer a retainer of the Saito family. Aoki said with some excitement at this time.
The second person that Kuroda paid attention to was a middle-aged man sitting next to Aoki Ichiju, this person was also a samurai born at a glance, and there was some noble feeling unique to samurai, this person is estimated to be Aoki Ichiju's father, the former minister of Saito Michizo, and now the Aoki Shige who has gone out now!
As for the young man who was a little timid before, it is estimated that he is the historical Aoki Ichishige! Since he is a famous person in history, and now he has outstanding qualifications at a young age, how can he let go of such a good seedling?
"I see! The Aoki clan is indeed a famous family in Mino Country, and every move is quite noble samurai. In that case, the adult next to him must be the famous Aoki Shigeju-sama! Kuroda said to the middle-aged man.
"If you go back to Kuroda-sama, it's Aoki Shigeju in the next, but at the moment in the next place, it's just a ronin, and you can't deserve the name of an adult." Aoki bowed to Kuroda Vocational High School.
"What did Aoki-sama say? After all, the adult is also a famous minister who has served the Saito family for a long time. And I've heard of the name of the adult's loyalty.,It's an outstanding samurai in Mino Province.,Your Excellency is still deserved.。 Kuroda said with a smile.
In fact, these are all nonsense words of Kuroda Vocational High School, if it weren't for Aoki Yiju, he wouldn't have known that there was such a person as Aoki Shigeju. Now I just want to use other people's sons and nephews, so I'm just polite, and I don't really stand up to Aoki's name.
"The adult is really too famous, I don't dare to deceive the adult, in fact, this time I brought Kanbei (Aoki Kazuki) and Tadasuke to Harima Country, all because of the change in Mino Country, which is also a helpless move by the Aoki family!" Aoki Shigeju said honestly to Kuroda Vocational High School.
"Oh! Then I take the liberty of asking, what happened to Mino? Kuroda Vocational High School asked knowingly.
"It's not a secret, although I have already run away from the Saito family and become a ronin, there are still children in the Aoki family who are still serving the Saito family." Aoki said.
"Well, that's normal." Kuroda nodded his head.,He likes this kind of honest person.,The Aoki family has served the Saito family for decades.,But you won't say that you will leave.,To put it bluntly, Aoki's heavy running away is a personal act.,The Aoki family is still serving Saito Ryuxing.。。
"But what the young lord doesn't know is that the new governor of the Saito family, Lord Saito Ryuko, is still young, and he doesn't have anything to do, as long as he can be diligent in government affairs, he will also be a good governor. But this lord has no inheritance of the old lord at all, even the thief of Saito Yoshiryu has some means, but this adult will only sing and indulge in wine all day long, regardless of things at home, before the Oda Nobunaga of Oshu came to attack Mino several times, it was the people of Mino Province who fought to save the foundation of the Saito family, otherwise Mino Country would have fallen into the hands of that Owari big fool.
But at this juncture of crisis, Lord Longxing still has not changed at all, and he has no consciousness as the head of a country. So after consulting with everyone in the family, it was finally decided that I would come to Harima Province with my two children and a few family members. When Aoki spoke heavily, there was a sad tone in his tone, and it seemed that he was really anxious about the fate of the Saito family!
"I see? I've heard of Saito-sama's name, and it's really not a candidate to be the head of the country! Kuroda nodded.
"Exactly, Kanbei and Tadasuke are the future of my Aoki clan, so the old decay will bring the Kuroda family together."
"In that case, how about recruiting three adults into the Kuroda family in the next generation? The adult is an important minister in the Saito family, and he must be familiar with the affairs of the family, so he will add the family's pursuit, manage some administrative affairs, and earn 20 stone a year, which is indeed lower, and I hope that the old man will not dislike it. Kuroda said with a smile.
"How can you dislike it, thank you to the young master." Aoki bowed to Kuroda Vocational High School and said gratefully.
"Hmmm! That's good, there are too many young retainers in the Kuroda family, and many of them are too impetuous and need someone to teach, and they need an experienced person like an adult to sit in the house. As for Lord Aoki, after all, he has just entered the family and has no merits, so he will temporarily become a flag samurai of the family, and he will earn fifty stone a year. After that, the Kuroda family will inevitably expand the army, and then the performance of adults will determine what the position in the army is. Kuroda asked Aoki again. (To be continued.) )
