Miyahara Masashi pondered for a moment, raised his head, and responded: "My lord, the minister recommended one person, Hashimoto Sun Emon Masamitsu." ”

Zhengheng heard the name in Miyahara's mouth, his brows furrowed involuntarily, obviously there was a sense of familiarity with the name, he remembered his childhood life before going to the monastery, it was a carefree childhood, he had always stubbornly thought so.

In fact, Zhengheng's childhood was also unfortunate, because he was the second son, he did not get one-tenth of his father's love, and the other nine-tenths of the time was spent paying attention to his brother, Sanzaemon Shinheng, who was five years older than him, and hired the best martial arts instructors and Confucian masters for him.

The Confucian master from Kinai was eager to start his education as soon as he arrived in Koroong, and the active Shin Heng clearly preferred martial arts instruction and was tired of teaching people to Confucianism, and during that time, only the young Sho Heng was able to get a moment's attention.

Today, when he heard the surname Hashimoto, Masahiro couldn't help but murmur: "Who is he Hashimoto Masahide?" The Hashimoto Masahide in his mouth was the Confucian master from Kinai back then.

Noyama Yoshimasa listened to the candidate recommended by Miyahara Masashige, he is an old man in the true sense of the Date family, and he has gone through three generations of Zongheng, Xinheng, and Zhengheng, obviously knowing the relationship between Hashimoto Masamitsu and Hashimoto Masahide, and said: "Hashimoto Masamitsu should be Hashimoto Masahide's nephew, the lord, in fact, Hashimoto Masahide is not from Kinai, but from Izumo, and at the same time has a little unclear relationship with the Niko family, the old lord was subordinate to Izumo back then, and it was inconvenient to refuse him directly, so he could only apply for a teacher." ”

When Masahiro heard that Noyama Masatomo had exposed the origin of Hashimoto Masahide. His body shook for a moment. Once again, the good childhood was shattered by intrigue and intrigues. He knew what Noyama Masaki meant. Hashimoto Masahide is from Izumo and has a relationship with Niko Harumu, he originally meant to become the teacher of Date Shinpei, to subtly influence the next generation of the head of the Date family, so that he will more identify with the rule of the Niko family, so as to give up semi-independence and officially become a retainer of the Niko family.

The old lord, that is, the father of Date Shinhiro and Masahiro, Zong Heng, obviously knew the origin of Hashimoto Masahide, so he deliberately kept his sister-in-law Shinheng away from him. In the name of beauty, he prefers martial arts instruction, and does not let Hashimoto Masaohide doubt his intentions, and deliberately let his second son learn from him.

Because Zong Heng has already poured his fatherly love into Xin Heng, he lacks interest in Zheng Heng's self-heating. But what is the value of teaching a second son who is not favored by his father? Hashimoto Masahide is worthy of being a master of Confucianism, he did not see it that way, but instead educated Xiao Zhengheng in a limited time, allowing him to establish his own outlook on life and the world in this life for the first time.

Masahiro thought that Masahide Hashimoto certainly had a purpose for him to come. But it was indeed the beginning of enlightenment for him, and it was his enlightenment teacher. After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Tanba, if it is feasible, let Hashimoto Masamitsu come to Tsurushou Castle, and I will meet him." ”

Noyama Masahima didn't expect that someone who knew that it was Niko Haruma would appoint him, so he couldn't help but say, "My lord, the other party is someone from Izumo?" ”

Zhengheng glanced at Noyama Yoshitomo lightly, then at the others, and said slowly: "Now my Date family has expanded to the six countries of Bichu, Bizen, Bigo, Misaku, Harima, and Aki, and it is not what the Date family wants, and it needs all kinds of people to join, whether it is a subordinate or a defector, they are all retained, first check their hearts, and then use their people." ”

Yeshan Yichao still didn't understand the meaning of Zhengheng's eyes, among the six important ministers present, only he and Qinghe Hengxiu were Date people in the true sense, and the others were either generals or retainers who came to serve, and immediately kowtowed to everyone when they heard it: "Yes, lord!" ”

Miyahara Masashige suddenly remembered something, and said with some hesitation: "Lord, do you remember Zen Master Zhu Yun Huixin?" ”

Zhengheng was stunned for a moment, he had dealt with Zhu Yun Huixin several times, and he also knew a little about this diplomatic monk of Maori Yuan, but he never thought that Miyahara Masashige would mention him, which made Zheng Heng not be surprised, and said slowly: "Could it be that Tanbo is talking about Zhu Yun Huixin Zen Master of Zhoufang Mountain Pass Guoqing Temple?" ”

Miyahara Zheng nodded again, it was precisely because of Zhu Yun Huixin's origin that made it difficult for him to choose, so he just hesitated, and when he saw Zhengheng mention it, he opened his mouth and said: "My lord, since my family defeated Maori Yuan in October last year, the older generation of Maori retainers have suffered heavy casualties, and Anyi's domestic turmoil is unstable. ”

After a pause, Miyahara Masashiro said again: "The cause of the Numata Battle a month ago was that Mori Takakei pursued and killed the son of Takeda Nobunshige, and was attacked by Miyazawa Heihachi's Chibei Raid on the way, and was defeated. Zhu Yun Huixin, who was already in seclusion, was greatly rebuked by the younger generation of the Maori family, and was even named a demon monk. ”

Regarding Zhu Yun Huixin's sudden defection, Zheng Heng was troubled, but he didn't say anything, just nodded lightly, and said to Miyahara Masashige: "That's it!" If he is willing to enter the house of Shiida, hire him for a thousand stones. ”

Miyahara pondered it for a moment and asked, "Lord, have you seen him?" ”

Zhengheng nodded first, pondered for a moment, then shook his head, and said, "Well, let's be with Hashimoto Masamitsu." ”

Seeing that the candidate for negotiation with the Yixiang Sect was finalized in a few words, Yeshan Yichao couldn't say that he was very hostile to Zhu Yun Huixin, but he was still a little unbelievable when he heard Zhu Yun Huixin's rebellion, and said in a low voice: "My lord, I heard that Zen Master Zhu Yun Huixin is a Zen master who shaved the ordination of Maori Longyuan, and he has a very good personal relationship with Maori Longyuan, and he was also invited by Maori Longyuan to serve as a diplomatic monk of the Maori family. ”

The meaning of Yeshan Yichao's words is quite clear, Zhu Yun Huixin and Maori Takayuan have a bad relationship, Maori Takayuan died at the hands of the Date family, and it is incomprehensible for a Zen monk to bear the infamy of betraying the Lord and seeking glory, I am afraid that there is a great strangeness in it.

Zheng Heng smiled, glanced at the puzzled people, and said slowly: "Everyone has his usefulness, whether it is true or false, as long as you grasp a degree, you can be invincible." Zen Master Zhu Yun Huixin, it is difficult to determine his intention before he comes, and gives some innocuous tasks. ”

After a sudden pause, Zhengheng thought of something, and couldn't help but say: "Didn't the son of Takeda Nobushige flee to Numata Village, let Miyazawa Heihachi send it to Tsurushou Castle, so that their master and apprentice can get married again." ”

The heavy duty said in unison: "The lord is wise. ”

Regardless of whether Zhu Yun Huixin has bad intentions or not, the son of Takeda Noshige, that is, the Ankokuji Huiqiong of the old time and space, obviously will no longer become a diplomatic monk of the Maori family like the old time and space, and finally ended up with a dead family on the banks of the six rivers, and now due to the attack of Kobayakawa Takakei (Maori Takakei), he can be said to hate Kobayakawa Takakei, a good friend of the old time and space. If Zhu Yunhui sincerely threw himself into the Date family, it would be better to say that if he was hypocritical, he was afraid that it would be difficult to get married to a good relationship between master and apprentice.

This plan can be described as a clever plan, and it has been difficult for Date's family to determine how to deal with Anguoji Huiqiong, to be precise, Zhengheng's thoughts about Anguoji Huiqiong are more proud of the game of dark glory in his previous life, and he doesn't have a good impression of this diplomatic monk.

The ministers left, and Akagi Takao stayed as ordered, saluted Zhengheng, and then said cautiously and respectfully: "Konishi Rizo has come to the city!" ”

Zheng Heng nodded slowly and asked, "What kind of person is this, have you found out?" ”

Akagi Takao knelt down and said in a respectful voice: "Back to the lord, it's all clear!" Konishiya is a merchant power in Sakai Port, which has been passed down for three generations, and is a well-known medicinal herb merchant, and the current head of the family, Konishi Yushimasa, is a fifty-three-year-old businessman who is currently the largest medicine merchant in Sakai Port. Konishi Risa, whose young name is Yajuro, is the second son of Konishi Yukimasa, who originally followed his father to run a medicinal herb business in Sakai Port, but was later assigned to Harima Himeji to trade with Harimatsu Harimasa, the guardian of Harima. While trading with Harima's guardian Akamatsu Harumasa, Konishi Risa, and at the same time drove a merchant house into Bizen Province, because of his high quality and low price, he had a deep friendship with the Ukita Naoya, and the Ukita Naoma family quickly opened up the situation in Bizen Province. ”

When Zhengheng heard that he had a deep relationship with the Ukita Naoka, he suddenly realized: "Oh, it turned out to be him? Konishi Lonzo, the father of Konishi Yukinaga, it turns out that he is still called Konishi Rizo. He said again: "Xiao Nishi Rizo is so courageous, he actually used 3,500 yuan as the arrow, which is probably all his personal liquidity." ”

Akagi Takao replied, "Yes, my lord, Konishiya's current head Konishi Yukimasa is already fifty-three years old, and he already feels powerless, so he has his sons go to various branches to decide who will be the next head of Konishiya according to their achievements." Originally, Konishi Risaku first traded with Akamatsu Harumasa and then with Urakami Munekei, and became their royal merchant, with great hopes of becoming the next head of Konishiya's family. At least there were unforeseen circumstances, Urakami Munekei was defeated, Akamatsu Harumasa was greatly damaged, and all the investments that Konishi Rizo invested in them were wasted, and all his advantages were lost at once. In order to redeem his disadvantage, he not only took out all his working capital, but also sold some of his properties. ”

Zheng Heng smiled coldly and said in a deep voice: "It turned out that I hurt him!" Let's get in touch today! ”

Akagi Takao bowed to Zhengheng and said, "Yes, my lord, my majesty will go in person." (To be continued......)
