Chapter 44: The Fateful Moment (I)
Toji Michixue was extremely shocked when he heard the bad news. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
He has always been unequivocally opposed to Otomo Yoshijin's use of hibiscus ointment, believing that it is a deadly poison that destroys the body, and now it has been proved that what he said is true, and Otomo Yoshizhen vomited blood and fainted under the enragment.
Yoshihiro Zhenli is still recounting the changes that happened in the country during this time, trying his best to exonerate Yoshihiro Jianli, and for the sake of credibility, he also pulled Yoshioka Nagazen and tied him together.
Toji Michiyuki's face was very ugly, he didn't believe Yoshihiro Zhenli's words to exonerate his father, if he really spoke out to advise Otomo Yoshijin, Otomo Yoshijin would not disobey.
However, Toji Michiyuki did not mean to ask Yoshihiro Jianli about it, if what Yoshihiro Zhenli said was true, now Otomo Yoshizhen fainted and could not manage the government, and the five-year-old young lord of the annuity, Longevity Pill, could not handle government affairs.
Originally, the elders of the Yoshioka Nagamassu and Yoshihiro Kanri were enough to deal with government affairs, but when the Date family's army landed in Kyushu, Mrs. Naita and the orphans and widows of the young master of Choshomaru were unable to trust anyone in the case of Otomo Yoshizhen's fainting, and the dispute between the main battle faction and the main peace faction was just an excuse, and it was more about who could be arbitrary after Otomo Yoshizhen fainted.
From the words and phrases of Yoshihiro Zhenli, Toji Michiyuki guessed that the Great Friendly Army had suffered heavy losses, otherwise Yoshioka Nagazen and Yoshihiro Kanri would not have asked Toji Michiyuki to return to Bungo Province to preside over the overall situation.
After Yoshihiro finished speaking, he looked at Toji Michiyuki and waited for Toji Michiyuki's reply.
Toji Michiyuki didn't speak, his eyes showing a melancholy look. He was worried that Lady Nata and the young lord of Choshomaru would take risks after learning the news of his return to Bungo Province, knowing that the Date family had landed in the east of the country and the sea to form a situation of entrapment, whether Lady Naita and the young lord of Choshomaru would think that he had come to seize the castle of Funai because of his return, and replaced him.
Toji Michiyuki's silence made Yoshihiro feel an inexplicable pressure.
The Otomo family was defeated in the Battle of the Anqi River, Otomo Yoshizhen fainted and could not manage the government, the inner city of the house was in turmoil, and the people's hearts were moving, who could guarantee that Toji Michiyuki, who had always been loyal and diligent, had no other thoughts.
Yu Bu Weixin said cautiously: "Lord, now that the Otomo family is worried about internal and external troubles, it is really the moment of life and death, as one of the three elders, it is time for you to stand up." ”
Yubu Weixin was loyal to Toji Michiyuki, first of all, for the interests of Toji Michiyuki, and then for the interests of the Otomo family, he thought that as long as Toji Michiyuki returned to Fuuchi Castle, he would be able to take the authority of Fuuchi Castle with his prestige and military strength and become the leader of the Otomo family.
Toji Michixue looked bitter and shook his head slightly. He didn't know that Yubu Weixin was thinking about him, even if the Otomo family was a broken ship, as long as he could become the helmsman, even if he had no way out in the end, he would be able to sell it for a good price in front of the new owner. Toji Michiyuki didn't think about these, he still had feelings for the Otomo family, and naturally he didn't want the career he had been fighting for to give up halfway.
However, now that the authority of Otomo Yoshijin is bound to be seriously damaged, he will immediately be at the center of a huge whirlpool when he returns to Funai Castle, and it will be difficult for him to climb out of the whirlpool.
Toji Michiyuki had no intention of revealing the secrets in his heart, and he didn't want to shake the confidence of the deployers, so after a little muttering, he said: "Time is very tight for us, Kunisaki Prefecture has been lost, the Bungo Naval Army has been shattered, and Awami County, Oita Prefecture, and Kaibe Prefecture are all under the front of the Date Naval Army, first of all, we must ensure the safety of the inner hall and the young hall, it is best to move to a safer inland, and secondly, we must complete peace talks with the Date family before the larger-scale landing of the Date family." ”
Yoshihiro Zhenli bowed slightly, before he set off, his father Yoshihiro Kanri had mentioned these to him, and responded: "It's just that now Mrs. Naido and Shaodian control the inner city, and Naida and Tahara are two departments for help, please send someone to persuade Madame to open the city and arrange a back road!" As for the peace talks, my father asked you what your bottom line was?"
Toji Michiyuki fell silent again, and he could see that now the Date Navy had swept through the Bungo Otomo Navy, and all the coastal areas were within the range of the Date Navy, and they had landed in Kunisaki County and Kaibe County, and they had defeated Otomo Yoshizhen on the frontal battlefield. The Date family now has a clear advantage on the battlefield, how can they stop if they don't release it and take advantage of it.
Toji Michiyuki raised his eyes and said, "Tell your father that the condition is to keep the territory of the Otomo family Bungo and Chikugo 700,000 koku, and hand over the territory of Hizen and Higo to the Date family. With this as the bottom line, the rest can be discussed, even if it is to send the young hall to Osaka Castle, there is no problem. Well, I'll be back in Funai Castle in three days. ”
Yoshihiro-jin should have said, "Yes! After saying that, he retreated.
Funai Castle.
Lady Nado knelt in the attic of the inner city, looking at Otomo Yoshijin lying flat on a tatami mat, the anger in her eyes had long since disappeared, and in its place was a kind of fear, rather a fear of the unknown.
Lady Nado snuggled up to her son Longevity Pill beside her, a little tired, and fell asleep in her arms, she didn't dare to say that he handed over to the nurse to rest, who knows if it will be a farewell?
She didn't trust anyone now, not even her father and brother who didn't let them come to the attic, who knows if they had any other ideas. The only thing she hopes for now is that Otomo Yoshijin will wake up, and only Otomo Yoshijin will be able to protect our mother and son.
The old woman, who had watched Mrs. Nado grow up, walked softly to the door with her heels on her heels, and gestured to Mrs. Nado to glance.
Lady Nado gently soothed the longevity pill, quietly followed, and asked in a low voice, "How is the situation outside?" ”
The old lady hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Madam, the situation outside is very bad, there is everything to say, well, the old body also heard a news, Lin Boxuan Daoxue is coming back." ”
Mrs. Naido asked, "Lin Boxuan is back?" ”
The old lady replied and said, "I don't know if I came back specifically, it should be in the past two days, and there is still news that I don't know if it's true or not?" ”
Mrs. Nado could not help but become anxious, and said, "Nurse, you are the only one by my side who can be trusted, and please do not lie to me, and tell me the news you have heard." ”
The old lady replied: "Yes, they want to move His Royal Highness and the Young Hall to Hita County!" ”
Mrs. Nado was stunned and screamed, "What do they want to do? Her heart was full of fear, she knew that once she left the inner city, she would become involuntarily, not to mention that the old lady did not talk about her, what would happen to her, it was normal for some accidents to occur in the midst of war.
When the old lady had finished speaking, she took her own farewell to Lady Nado. Halfway to the bend, he suddenly bowed to a middle-aged man standing in the shadows: "Naita Temple, the old slave has already conveyed it to Madame according to your wishes." ”
Naita Kanki nodded slightly.
